Will the time when we see so many great bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or CCR ever repeat?
No we wont ever see anything like it again, the 60's were just another page in the book, a book of transformation, going from prude, polite kids of the 40's to teenagers in the 50's to the fairly loose and free kids of the 60's, everything changed in the 60's, the music, the politics, the ways of life, the technology. (you can close the book now, since from 1977 on up nothing has changed, dishonest politics, fights for fuel, wars....and the 4 spectacular kids that made up CCR, John, Tom, Stu and the Doug will never repeat again, the conditions were right and what struck was CCR....and then just like a thunderstorm they were gone.
