"Who'll Stop The Rain" and "Fortunate Son" are songs of theirs I really, really like, also, and they had a message in them, too....
I have the idea they actually were actually from El Cerrito, near Richmond, and not Berkeley, but am not sure of it.
In any case, they are closely associated with Berkeley, and their musical career really got going there. I don't know where in Berkeley they played, though, back then. Maybe the Greek?

John Fogerty is an American icon. He, like only a few others, introduced and brought roots of modern America to the rest of the World. His music stands for what most people, esp. those who never have been here, think the US is like.
I can't say enough about him, although, he's only human just like the rest of us. He too, will have to say goodbye when the day comes.
