However, I really don't care for Fogerty as a person. The more I hear about the pettiness and bitterness he constantly exhibits, the less I personally like him. The animosity that John Fogerty expressed against his former CCR bandmates, Doug Clifford, Stu Cook, and his own late brother, Tom, seemed really excessive. It sounded like John was reluctant to even reconcile with his own brother as Tom was dying. He strikes me as a very unlikable human being.
The word you were looking for is “vindictive”.
He is simply a very talented malcontent.
As I’ve done continued research this week, it’s difficult not to come to a similar conclusion- lotta smoke anyway
