John Fogerty

Craig Werner, Goldmine, 3 July 1998

Just before he embarked on last summer's Blue Moon Swamp tour, John Fogerty told Goldmine that "the new John and the old John are the same guy."

Embittered by a seemingly endless string of legal battles with his old record label, Fantasy, and estranged from his former bandmates, Fogerty had refused to play any CCR material in the 1986 tour that followed up on his No 1 album Centerfield.
