6 Music's Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with artists. Today it's the Creedence Clearwater Revival legend, John Fogerty.

John talks about what playing Woodstock was really like, jamming with Bob Dylan and George Harrison (and why it took Bob Dylan to get John to play his old songs again), and how a visit to Robert Johnson’s grave inspired him to try and get the rights back to all his old music – soundtracked by The Beatles, Beethoven, and Booker T & The MGs.
