'Lookin' Out My Back Door'
--Creedence Clearwater Revival (1970)

The accusation: Tambourines, elephants, a dinosaur Victrola -- "Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?" is an invitation to cocaine.

The defense: John Fogerty says he wrote the song for his son, inspired by Dr. Seuss.

The verdict: Not guilty. These blue-collar boys would literally turn their noses up at blow.

Not so fast, Ace. You claim to be the expert,then think back, Chum. There was a whole conflict going between Country folk, (who would never think of touching the hard stuff) and the Disco Drug Freaks. In fact it got so bad that when the Drug Freaks all started wearing Cowboy hats, (the Hallmark of a Country Gentleman), the Country Boys turned to Baseball Caps in an effort to disassociate themselves from the likes of,...apparently...you and yours.
