And let the Boss live?

CCR and Bruce Springsteen are playing a concert LB.
You MUST go to one of them. Who do you go to see?

I think Springsteen is hugely overrated, but I don't hate him. He doesn't deserve to die. If I must go to one, it'd be his, but I won't enjoy it and I'll complain the whole time.

I truly detest Fogerty and his cackle of cohorts, and their mere existence chills me to the core, I'd kill them all* if I could, but would settle for the head of the snake...



*I wouldn't actually kill any of them and don't truly wish them any harm, I just wish their so-called "music" would cease to exist.

OK Springsteen it is. The Boss puts on one of the best live shows ever. :cool:
I guarantee you will be air guitaring like a tipsy Enda Kenny before it is over.

No can do...

I'm sick that week...

or I'll be washing my hair...

or I'll be abducted by aliens...

That's good.

So if I don't deliver I won't disappoint. If I do, I blow your expectations!

I can give you a sneak. One of your songs blew my mind! But I've only listened to that song in that category.....so there could well be more mind blowing coming.

I really do hope you prove me wrong... I've been let down by Walrus promises before though and have just come to expect that there are some that will never happen, to protect myself from disappointment...

I can't not. There are some cracker songs!

There are so goddammit awful country songs that made my heart, brain and ears bleed too. But you know.

What's the root cause for this extreme hatred for CCR? I like some of their stuff and dislike some of their stuff, but they don't get my passion flowing one way or another. So when I read of white hot hatred towards them I'm curious, but also a bit mystified. To me, they seem too inherently MOR to engender hate or hero worship

Well... don't tell anyone, but its mostly just for show, and what you've just said is a more accurate representation of how I actually feel... but... Sssshhhhhh!

Its really just an indifference I played up during one of my Walrus round reveals because Have You Ever Seen The Rain and a cover of it had both been submitted and I had both of them in last positions, so added a bit of flavour to the write-ups about how John Fogerty is the worst thing to have ever happened in the history of humankind, and the whole hatred storyline just snowballed from there and became a running gag in Walruses and a couple other Forum Games.

My dislike of Bruce Springsteen and Mariah Carey are equally heightened and played up for my own amusement.

John Fogerty & Bruce Springsteen are two of my favourite music artists.
