About this episode
Put us in, Coach! "Naked Lunch" is thrilled to welcome the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty -- who this week received the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame's highest honor -- along with our mutual buddy Brad Paisley for a great conversation, including a few questions sent from Phil. Brad and David have recently been collaborating on a new liner notes essay for the upcoming "Hall Of Fame" edition of John's classic "Centerfield" solo album. They discuss the impact of John's music with Creedence Clearwater Revival and beyond, baseball, and how "Centerfield" was one of the greatest comebacks of all-time, and started an ongoing revival in John's life and musical legacy.
