Cinco de Mayo...and a great American song turns 40

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

On this day...May 5th 1969 CCR's Bad Moon Rising was released. The song would shoot to number two on the billboard charts and remain for 3 weeks. John Fogerty got the apocalyptic vibe of the song from a movie he watched called "The Devil and Daniel Webster." This is simply a classic song...it jumps out of my radio speakers even now. You can really hear the influence of the Sun label artists on Fogerty here.
