    Comment: Hey man.... love your music! Just got back from doing a gig with my own band. We do a whole swack of yer Creedence songs... 'cause ya can't go wrong'... Love the new album by the way. Get a sense of someone who really really knows what he's doing. Saw your concert in Victoria BC. My wife Lyn and I agree... best concert we ever saw. What we saw was John and his band (awesome drummer by the way) just playin thier little hearts out... and we loved it... and wanted more! Yall played 27 tunes that night... surpassing what most bands play. All the best. Hope you come up with another album soon John... and PLEASE... come back to Vancouver Island!!!!! We love ya here! Henry Locke (your newest fan)

    Comment: Ithank God that John met Julie when he did. Iwas totally obsessed with CCR when I was younger but being from England I havnt heard anything about John for years. we have only just recently got the internet so I decided to look John up.b Well I did & Im totally hooked again.I love all the old CCR songs but the songs that John has written since are all brilliant. At the grand old age of 51 Ive never been to London but Ill be first in the queue when the tickets go on sale for Johns UK concert at Wembley. I love the fact that John is such a devoted family man & he talks about how lucky he is to have Julie but Julie is also lucky to have such a loving devoted, yes & drop dead gorgeous husband. lots of love to them both. Julie Hamer. England.

    Comment: I have been a fan of yours and CCR for many years. I still listen to the old rock n roll. I was so pleased to see you Saturday night on Austin City Limits. You still rock and YOU made CCR the band it became. Thanks for all your songs and for coming back. You need to come to Houston to do a concert. Charlotte in Texas.

    Comment: John, your music has meant so much to so many of us. One night, during those three years of incredible Creedence music, you played a big stadium near the airport in Minneapolis. I was a young baker at a hotel you and the band stayed at. The hotel threw you out of your rooms for making noise and put you in a banquet room. You graciously allowed a working class kid to literally sit at your feet while you sang. Tom Hastings

    Comment: The one-sided spin of the CCR breakup is disappointing. From what I know of the story there was enough jealousy and betrayal to go around amongst all four band members, and Fogerty's creative years lost to litigation were largely a self-inflicted wound. It's good to see him back with an improved attitude, and reassuring to know that love can still conquer all.

    Comment: I've been a fan of John's for a long, long time and have never missed the chance to see him perform when he is in the Detroit area (also saw him in San Diego while on business). I took my two boys (ages 10 and 12) to one of his shows recently and the were blown away. They're hooked!
    Nice to have you back, John.

    Comment: I recently saw John Fogerty in his Las Vegas leg of the Revival tour.
    I was astounded. I didn't know I was a fan. All of a sudden I was asking my husband...He wrote THIS song? and This song???? I was singing every word to the soundtrack of my life. Who didn't sing those words? We all did...driving in our cars, hanging with our friends. What a unique sound. How happy are we that John and Julie are a happy ending to the fairy tale? It is the stuff legends are made of.

    Comment: I recently went to see John Fogerty play on the Las Vegas leg of his tour.
    It was amazing. I was listening to the sound track of my life. I kept saying to my husband, He wrote this song? and THis song?? It was amazing. I knew every word. Suddenly I was transported to my 64 Ford Mustang, driving my friends to the beach singing along the coast. Back in my Jr High and High school years.
    He has such a powerful voice and great spirit. Watching him play guitar was another delight. What a master. You can see the love shining thru. His family is so loved, and Newsweek, thank you for publishing a great love story with an ending that speaks of healing and endurance. These are the stories we all need.

    Comment: Saw John Fogerty in concert last week in Los Angeles. His performance was great, he smiled the whole time and sang and played his heart out. I felt like a piece of American history and culture was being visited before my eyes and ears. Keep playing John!

    Comment: We hear so much today about our hedonistic culture and its short-comings, so it is refreshing to read how the rest of us live day in and day out. Surrounded by friends and family, satisfied with our lives and happy to be in love. Thanks John. And Newsweek for publishing.

    Comment: John;
    Your music (and a few other guys') got me through Vietnam. Really glad you're finally OK. It took both of us a long time to get our feet back on the ground. Welcome back!!!

    Comment: John;
    Your music (and several other people's) got me through Vietnam relatively sane. I'm glad I can finally say, "Welcome Back!" to you. It took a while for both of us to get our feet back on the ground.
