John Fogerty was great on the pyramid last year. Some great Creedence Clearwater Revival memories for me.

Yeah and even without that, he has been toxic for the whole of this millennium. In jail for falsely imprisoning a male escort etc etc.

 

When he is booked it's at crappy venues.

Ah I stand corrected. 

 

Not BG solo then, he is more likely to play an 80s festival in Romford.

He's a decent showman whose song writing credits are with proper song writers doing the heavy lifting, who unfortunately believes that he's a decent song writer himself.

 

He has the air of the mid 20th century stage working showman, it works really well on stage, if he did a UB40 Labour of love style cover album it would smash sales.  I don't follow the personal lives of celebrities to the extent that I have an opinion on his character myself.

I thought he already did a crooning covers album donkeys ago, is that not where the bizarre nicole kidman duet number 1 came from.

 

Like it or not he has loads of hits and while it may well be true that he's a wally, I think it's a stretch to say it was all down to Guy Chambers.  Chambers doesn't seem to have had equivalent sized hits with anyone else.

I would have booked David Byrne. Hits! Still very cool. Genuinely interesting artist.

 

Although, I actually quite like Robbie

He could genuinely have been a candidate for 2026 had there been a festival. He wont be on tour next year sadly.
