I saw Stu Cook on a clip about CCR on VH1's Legends series on John Fogerty and Stu Cook said John told them if you all [Stu and Doug] don't each write a 1/3 of the album he [John] was quitting. It was unfair to put two unexperience song writers on the spot like that. It was like John Fogerty was finding a way for the alum to fail so John could dissolve the band. Maybe John had a hidden message in the opening track "Looking For A Reason" when he sings: "I'm looking for a reason to stay...." and "I'm looking for a reason not to go..."
