Former Creedence Clearwater front man John Fogerty celebrates 80th with show in NYC
The legendary rock 'n' roller was in a mood to honor his past and to revise it
Crowd members spanned from those likely to remember "Proud Mary," "Fortunate Son," and other Creedence Clearwater Revival hits when first released a half-century ago to those looking young enough to have heard about them through their grandparents.
