...Lead Singer John Fogerty, who writes most of their material, got his musical inspiration from Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley records. He learned chords from a Burl Ives songbook. Doug Clifford didn't even know how to play drums when John invited him to join. He converted a pair of old pool cues into drumsticks on a school lathe, bought a snare drum and began practicing. That was a decade ago, when they were 13 and schoolboys in suburban El Cerrito, Calif. With Stu Cook on piano and John's brother Tom on bass guitar, they began...
Depending on his mood or that of the audience, Tree is apt to walk down an aisle, rhythmically striking a gong or gently shaking a pair of copper baby rattles from Japan. Onstage, he may build a sonorous tremolo of several gongs, mixing in a tinkling of glass chimes or a booming thunderclap of timpani. At times he pauses, changes mood, and elicits long, random notes from a homemade North African-style flute or dramatically raises a six-foot Tibetan temple horn and blows a resounding blast.

She has furnished the house with used pieces rather than new furniture. She thought of economizing by making her own clothes, but concluded that there would be no saving "because the price of fabric has skyrocketed. To make an average dress, including lining, costs...
...love, without and within. Chris loses sleep, then appetite, finally ardor. Convinced that "some dark thing was overtaking him," he buys a rifle and lugs it everywhere. As the child within her grows, Ellen retreats to her own childhood, resurrecting the toys in the lodge attic. Seeking reassurance, the pair try the ritual of childhood games-Parcheesi, Chinese checkers-then break off even this relationship. Chris teaches Ellen to shoot. At last all they share is the gun, as if the final game were to be a game of kill. More and more, the birth they await seems a kind...
