Creedence Clearwater Revival

A influencial southern rock band formed by John Fogerty (vocals, lead guitar), Tom Fogerty (back up vocals, rythmn guitar), Stu Cook (bassist), and Doug Clifford (drummer). They hit their peak between 1968-1971. Between those 3 years Creedence Clearwater Revival (aka CCR) recorded 6 great albums, and in 1972 recorded their 7th (and final) album as a group as a trio, without original member (and older brother of the more talented John) Tom Fogerty, who left to persue a awful solo career. They are the band with the most number two hit songs (5) without a number 1.

2)Bayou Country,
3)Green River,
4)Willy and The Poorboys,

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) was an American rock band, and arguably one of the greatest bands of all time, as short-lived as it was. The band consisted of four members: Tom and John Fogerty (they were brothers), Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. Some of their other songs include "Fortunate Son (arguably their signature song)," "Green River," "Born On The Bayou," "Who'll Stop The Rain?," "Proud Mary," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?," "Travelling Band," "Run Through The Jungle," and "Proud Mary."

Things took a dark turn in 1971 when Tom Fogerty left the band. In October of the following year, the three remaining remembers had a rancorous falling out, after their seventh album turned out to be a massive flop because John Fogerty wanted to try something different that the other members did not like.

Following their break-up, the four members went their separate ways.

John Fogerty pursued a solo career. He has expressed an interest in reforming the band since the 2010s, but his ex-bandmates have made a firm refusal to do so.

Doug Clifford and Stu Cook formed the band "Creedence Clearwater Revisited," where they perform CCR's songs.

Tom Fogerty also embarked on a solo career, but it was cut short when he died on September 6, 1990 from tuberculosis aggravated by HIV/AIDS at the age of 48.
Creedence Clearwater Revival is an amazing band. Imagine how much more popular they would have been if they didn't have a falling out.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
