Turns out Stu did show up at a recent Fogerty concert in Texas according to some reviewer. It was kind of a festival of sorts so there were other acts but Stu was in the front of the crowd watching Fogerty, I was suprised to learn.
I will say this, in the early 80's they were talking to each other (even playing together at their high school reunion a year before Fogerty released CENTERFIELD)...up until the plagiarism suit, in which Stu and Doug sided with Fantasy records against Fogerty. Years later, Fogerty refused to play with Stu and Doug at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a very ugly and sad situation.
There's a lot more to it than that, but both those incidents were key to the bitterness between both parties. It's a long, tragic fight with no end in sight...unless you consider not talking to each other an end.
