What does Creedence Clearwater Revival mean?
The name Creedence Clearwater Revival means nothing as a phrase. The word 'Creedence' referred to someone called Credence Newball, who was a friend of Tom Fogerty. 'Clearwater' came from a TV commercial for Olympia Beer.
Where did Creedence Clearwater Revival originate from?
El Cerrito, California, United States.
The key elements of Creedence had been woodshedding in bar bands for about a decade before their breakthrough to national success in the late '60s. John's older brother Tom formed the Blue Velvets in the late '50s in El Cerrito, California, a tiny suburb across the bay from San Francisco.
Who Was Fortunate Son written about?
"Fortunate Son" is a protest song written by a Vietnam-era veteran in support of the men who served and against the children of privilege who evaded the draft. John Fogerty claims he wrote “Fortunate Son” in just 20 minutes. But the music he made with Creedence Clearwater Revival has soundtracked visions of the Vietnam War in pop culture for what feels like an eternity. It was 1969.
