(See 01 Feb 2007 entry for details.)
**It's Questions Week! (Is it?) - Day 3:
An awesome oldie that for many people is indelibly linked with experiences in Vietnam, that everybody has heard, and yet is (for me anyway) the only standout from an otherwise forgettable album. John Fogerty wrote this as a reflection on the departure of his brother Tom Fogerty from the band while they were still a very successful group. Tom left while this song was on the charts in 1971, and it is especially poignant now in light of his untimely death in 1990.
Other than its B-side, Hey Tonight (eh…), I'm not sure anything else from this album ever even gets any airplay.
