Pete's taste in music does not suck

According to this source, Pete's favorite band is CCR, which was the quintessential, hard working, blue collar, lunch pail, OKG American rock group of the late 60's / early 70's. Much respect.

CCR is Petersen's favorite band, and this song about a man born without the luxury of a silver spoon in his mouth probably speaks to the coach who battled against Power 5 schools for more than a decade at Boise State.

    Oh lord, stuck in Lodi again


    On a trip to Disneyland mid 60's we pulled the family wagon into a motel in Lodi for the night.

    Geographically the choice makes sense, being that Pete was a Davis guy and Lodi's just down the road.

    It doesn't get any more old, rich and white than CCR Steely Dan.

    Whooshed?
    ...we've decided to help out the coaches of each Top 25 program by picking a song that would get all of them fired up for anything from a long string of repetitive preseason questions to an actual game-day kickoff.

    They're saying since CCR is legitimately his favorite band they picked that song for his walkup muzak.

    Yeah, but still.

    I gave myself a plausible out in terms of getting whooshed- i.e., "According to this source, Pete's favorite band is CCR". Either way, I'm good.

    CCR is garbage for white trash people who like rock n roll but sympathize with country music.

    I should know. I'm from Kent.

    Also, one of Kurt Cobain's favorites.

    Whoa..whoa...whoa...If you are going to bash Yacht Rock, fuck that.

    7-11 U-District on Aurora. 10 minutes. Maybe 15 with traffic.

    No need for fisticuffs, Throbber. I sail on a 37 foot yacht once a week in the summer and love Steely Dan.

    No country music, then no rock and roll, and then no Styx. Show a little respect will ya. Rock and roll was birthed by white hillbillies who fused their love of country and blues back when cultural appropriation wasn't a faux pas.

    PBS had a show on how when radio burst on the scene in the 20's the record companies went on the road to record local acts and sell them the records. As @YellowSnow points out those hillbillies invented the country music genre and the Blacks recorded their blues which all became rock and rolla.

    The Carter family were among the acts recorded.

    Chuck Berry was white.
