John Fogerty Addresses 'Fortunate Son' / Springsteen Concert for Valor Controversy

[Dustlawyer]

24. John Fogerty is AWESOME! Saw him at the Houston Livestock Rodeo and he bashed W in between each

song! Considering W was still President and Fogerty was in Houston, Texas I thought he was very brave. Turns out almost everyone there aplauded what he said, but none louder than me. He even said the Dixie Chicks were right, but these assholes still wont play them on Country radio down South.
I read in Rolling stone many years ago that during the trial where Fogerty had been sued for copywrite infringement of his own earlier work with his new song (at that time), Old Man Down the Road, that he explained style vs. copying sitting in the witness stand playing a guitar for hours. I bet there were people who regretted skipping jury duty that week! Anyway, after the jury came back in his favor of no infringement, and had also ruled in his favor on his countersuit against the record company for unpaid royalties, he invited all of the jury and people in the courtroom down the street to a local bar offering to pick up the tab!
