^^ A staple of every anti Vietnam War film. You've got me wondering about other songs that are instant signfiers when used in films and documentaries Meanwhile, back to Creedence Clearwater Revival, I could listen to their version of Suzi Q all day long (yep, all (nearly) 9 minutes of it)... Creedence Clearwater Revival - Suzi Q |

Well CCR are featured in lot of films.Off the top of my head: Suzi Q pops up in Apocalypse Now. Bad Moon Rising, American Werewolf in London. There's even a movie entitled Who'll Stop The Rain, which includes several of the band's numbers.

Not a huge fan of the band but I have seen John Fogerty live a few times and always went away thinking I got my money's worth

I was surprised to read that Kim Salmon, talking of the second version of The Scientists, admitted to CCR as an influence. I suppose that 'swamp' thing had to come from somewhere

For reasons I no longer recall, I wanted some time ago to know more about the Duck Kee Market that appears on the cover of the Willy & The Poor Boys LP. I had thought it was some sort of produce market. Turns out it is was just a corner shop.
Read all about it here. Lots of fascinating trivia:
