ABSTRACT

After the release of Eye of the Zombie, John Fogerty had another bout with creative block, one which would extend into the early 1990s. “All the bad stuff that happened from about ’86 to ’91 made the writing difficult,” said Fogerty. “It wasn’t flowing. During all that talking with Saul Zaentz—conversations where I was sorry that I even called—there were days that I’d get so angry.” 1 Fogerty asked old CCR friend, legendary promoter Bill Graham, to intercede on his behalf with Zaentz. After several telephone conversations, Graham found his efforts futile.
