[15] Creedence Clearwater Revival, ‘Bad Moon Rising’
CCR had been knocking around for donkey’s years under various names, but only tasted real success with a change of moniker – “Creedence” apparently after a mucker of the band called Credence Nuball, “Clearwater” for topical environmental reasons, dude, and “Revival” for whatever it says on the tin. And “Revival” was right: John Fogerty and crew enjoyed huge sales for this and other infectious bluegrass swampy fare and never looked back… until acrimonious split and lawsuits, obviously.
‘Bad Moon Rising’ is a classic only-know-one-line tune, but everyone loves it. It’s a timeless music and, as I recall, a cornerstone of any self-respecting second-year student’s layabout playlist.
“Is this about the moon?” asked Junior, bless her. “Not quite,” I replied. “Fogerty claims it was written on the day Richard Nixon was elected to power in the States, and it reflects the sense of unease in the air and the portents of what was to follow.” Junior shot me a look that suggested she could get more sense out of Junior 2, asleep in her cradle upstairs, barely two weeks old.

My word, you're really churning these out, aren't you?
Sixteen Horsepower do a nice Appalachian Gothic version of this song, you know. And the Meteors do a pretty ropey Psychobilly version, for that matter.

What, kids?
There's just not enough Appalachian Gothic around here. Way too much Psychobilly, mind you.

if you keep blogging at this rate then I'll never keep up. I think you may have had more children than blogposts in the last year. Hearty congrats to you and Mrs JBJ and to the 2 juniors.

A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.
