Walking along in damp and chilly sunlit air, my writing energies bubbled up. I was ready to write. From that streamed the phrases, “Put me in, coach, I’m ready to write today.” That’s a twist on the John Fogerty song, “Centerfield” from the album with the same name (1985). The song has become a baseball stadium mainstay in America. At least one major league player has complained about hearing it so often.
“Don’t say it ain’t so, you know the time is now.”
Oh man, I remember this song. Talk about nostalgia, but what I also remember about John Fogerty is that he was being sued by his former record label for plagiarizing himself. All because his new work sounded too much like his work with CCR. I was like of course it sounds the same, it freaking John Fogerty! This suit went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which was a totes waste of time. Anyway, great Saturday theme music!
