Glad it was a good day, man!
Hey, I'm listening to a lot of Creedence lately-- do you like their music? I've been listening to their Willy and the poor boys album like an addict.

I've got a double vinyl Best Of, yeah-- I used to play Run Through The Jungle at least once a week; and Hey Tonight...

Run through the jungle was always a fave of mine as well-- the intro alone is SO cool.

Yah, brother, "Chronicles"... also, don't miss Fogerty's 1985 comeback, "Centerfield"-- "Rock And Roll Girls" is one of the best songs he ever wrote...

I love all the stuff in the Chronicles record.

Yah-- Fogerty responded to that with a song on Centerfield about Saul Zaentz, the owner of the record company-- "Zaentz can't dance, but he'll steal your money..." Zaentz sued and Fogerty had to re-record it as Vanz Kant Danz-- that's the version I have, but I think early pressings of that album remain a condemnation of Zaentz...

Man, poor guy, Fogerty I mean, being sued for stealing himself, and then having to re-record the song because it offended the guy... that must be one of the most bizarre anecdotes of the music business, I suppose...

There's a book I've been meaning to pick up for a lot of years now called Hit Men [link] that chronicles(!) many stories like this one...

Man! I was just reading the description and users' comments-- seems like a super interesting book, The Godfather goes to the radio!

Yeah, I was really hooked on that show, actually; the resolution to that particular story "arc" kind of didn't cohere all that well, but it sure was entertaining; poor Ken Wahl died mysteriously in Hollywood a couple of years back; I've been meaning to rent the entire series from Netflix and kicking back with it again-- it was a great show!

The resolution of that arc was the Tim Curry character getting dressed as Elvis and dancing on someone's grave...? About Ken Wahl, other than Wiseguy, I remember he was on a movie (that I haven't seen) with Bette Midler, which used to be played on cable sometimes... but I had no idea what else he worked on-- all in all, yeah, I think it was a pretty cool show!

Dancing on his nemesis and competing producer's grave-- Paul Winfield-- and Winfield was somehow so sure that Curry was going to do that, that he planted a small explosive set to go off when Curry's feet hit the proper velocity...

Absolutely, now I remember that scene! What a great memory, brother...!

The unforgettable coffee... I buy many packs at once and keep them stored-- I can't imagine a morning with no coffee at all...!
