“great drummer, you’ve got more than 50 percent of it right there. It’s like the frame of a house. Kenny keeps really good time—at times it’s perfect time. But his style, his feel—he’s a little bit ahead, yet the hi-hat is right on the money. That feel is what I love. It’s got kind of a lean to it, and that’s what rock and roll is.”

“BAD MOON RISING"

"I see the bad moon a-risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers over flowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise, alright

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't come around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise”
― John Fogerty, Bad Moon Rising Sheet Music

“If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeys talk.”
