The Music Biz: Lodi

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Lodi

[purchase]

Best known for its Zinfandel, Lodi is a mid-sized town in California’s Central Valley. Although John Fogarty had never actually been to Lodi, he picked it to be the setting for his famous tribute to a stalled musical career because of its "cool" sounding name. Good reason.

The man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again . . .
