Fogerty is another huge Liberal asshole but he penned some great music. That song is a great commentary on GUB corruption, HOWEVER John Kay of Steppenwolf actually escaped East Berlin as a kid and wrote more than once about the state of things way back in the 60's. Listen to Monster/Suicide/America or The Ostrich or Don't step on the Grass Sam. For a guy that is "legally blind" He saw and probably still sees the ROT in everything. My older brother brought Steppenwolf into the house along with Grand Funk, The Beatles, Deep Purple and Cactus along with others and I'll always be grateful for that.
This is ONE verse in Monster, released in 69. Tell me whats changed since? Nothing
Our cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner We can't pay the cost 'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watching
My older brother bought Black Sabbath Paranoid home, then CCR. I then brought Grand Funk, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple. It continued back n forth for years.
Yeah older brothers from that time period were pretty awesome.
Nice! Gonna sound good in my truck in the morning.
I don't think you will be at all disappointed with Steppenwolf.
Thanks!
Your thanking somebody who is talking about a whole nother song, wtf?
I thank him for his comment
YW Always glad to turn someone on to good music.
