I mean, talk about THE goose that laid the golden egg...and the dopes around him (including his talent-less brother) will always be remembered as ( as far as THIS Creedence fan is concerned) TOTAL A-HOLES!!! ROCK on, John!

    • @pgarcia1994
      @pgarcia1994 Год назад

      Excuse me Burke, but if you are a musician you should know that Tom was a good if not a great rhythm guitarist. I myself being a guitar player know and acknowledge that Tom Fogerty was part of the sound of CCR. Just listen to Mardi Gras and you can notice the absence of Tom's sound. At least that's my opinion. So Tom was not like you said "talent-less", he was good.
