Reply to comment by ATribeOfAfricans in TIL Creedence Clearwater Revival was only active for four years (1968-1972), with seven studio albums. They still hold the record for most singles (nine) to reach the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 without ever scoring a #1. by Torley_

Fogerty was from Northern California, he grew up in El Cerrito, Ca. I recall seeing him at a local gas station many times in the 60's.

Thanks for the clarification. Point remains, buncha good ol boys think Fogerty would have fought in the civil war, lose their kinda when I informed them he was born and raised in California and had never even visited Louisiana before a lot of their hits lol

You would be amazed how much El Cerrito, Lodi, Stockton, etc. are in many ways more "south" than much of the south, there's more cows in Lodi than there are in almost any place in Louisiana.
