Also reminds me of my friend’s freshman roomate was a pothead hillbilly who blasted Cripple Creek every single day when he got back from class. My friend can’t listen to CCR to this day.

The song is "Up on Cripple Creek" by The Band. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_on_Cripple_Creek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_on_Cripple_Creek

That's The Band, not CCR, if I recall correctly. Great song

  Yes I misremembered the story. Probably because the title has so many C’s and R’s in it.

    To be fair, it’s probably the most CCR-like song The Band recorded.

      The Band started out in Toronto, Canada. Which, frankly, I wouldn’t have expected.

        And CCR is from Berkeley. Not so much "born on the bayou" as the song goes.

I thought Cripple Creek was The Band? Or did CCR cover it?
