...widely regarded as a weird joke. A 63-year-old former Communist, he now lives in millionaire-style luxury on a heavily guarded, 174-acre compound in Virginia, wages fringe presidential bids and is head of an eccentric and paranoid political movement. At airports around the country, his impassioned, clean-cut followers hawk propaganda calling for the quarantine of AIDS victims and accusing numerous notables, including Henry Kissinger and Walter Mondale, of being Soviet agents.

The guys in Creedence were good, but they were outclassed; almost anyone would be, but that did not make the situation any easier. The group disbanded in 1972, and four years and two halfheartedly received solo albums later, Fogerty shut himself down. He did not stop making music--"Once you stop the next step is backward, and you're going...
