Who's "Jody"?

[Green_Kirby]

Who is he/she? Been wondring about that here and now.
For some odd reason I gettin a drift that he's one of the CCR member's uncle. O.o


Simple as that. Who is he?

As far as I can gather, Jody is a imaginary person made up by Army and Marine drill sergants. Jody is always refered to as being the guy who doesn't get drafted and stays home to "look after" your girlfriend or run around partying etc... Maybe John heard this alot in his service days and simply used the name in his songs because... I don't know. That's only my opinion.

Jody is a name John just likes. One lady who used to be his close friend told me this.

Hi!
Did you read my post about this song?
Did this song refer to an UFO crash?
Is there a subliminal message?
Where is Moline?

Cheers!

I think Jody was a made up name.
