If they have made nice then John Fogerty is a saint.
He was sold up the river by Stu Cook.
Remember that lawsuit about him sounding too much like himself?
It wasn't just Sol Zandz. According to Fogerty it was Stu's idea to sue.
He "didn't care about the music. He just wanted the money"
The one and only (thank God) Wayne Cochran.
Referred to as the white James Brown.
BTW his bass player was Jaco Pastorius.
His moto was "the bigger the hair, the closer to heaven".
On Letterman
Yeah that was actually when they reached a whole new level.
They had been a pretty big band for some time but Reaper put them into the very top draws at the time.
They did a lot of big outdoor shows with the full laser show. It was a huge draw.
They always delivered amazing shows.
They toured...
Saw them back in the 70's at a big outdoor show.
I was not a super big fan.
I liked some songs but overall I just thought they were pretty good.
Part way through their set after a full day of other bands (they headlined) we started to work our way up toward the stage.
And we managed to get right...
Both are great IMO.
I see the first 3 (the black and white period) like BOC one point oh.
Secret Treaties sort of is the high point of that period.
It's more consistent than the first 2. Although I often skip the first song.
For me early BOC is best done in the live album On You Feet Or On Your...
I like Curse of the Hidden Mirror
I'm a bit surprised that so many BOC fans didn't.
I admit that it's different but that has been a constant with BOC over the years.
They've been talking about a new album for some time but hadn't nailed it down to a time frame.
The last thing I heard was Buck...
None of the above.
They were singular.
I recommend the movie "Sex and Drugs And Rock and Roll" if you haven't seen it.
Andy Sertis does a fine job as Ian Drury.
No real order.
Diamond Dogs (Bowie) for sure
Second Helping (Skynyrd)
Secret Treaties (BOC. Best BOC album of all time. At least the black and white period)
It's Only Rock And Roll (Stones. Not the best stones album but it has it's moments)
Get Your Wings (Aerosmith)
Honorable mentions.
Feats...
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
--Hank Williams Sr.
Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool, it's only moonlight.
If you try to take it home
Your hands will...
