Pete's taste in music does not suck
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.

Geographically the choice makes sense, being that Pete was a Davis guy and Lodi's just down the road.RaceBannon said:Oh lord, stuck in Lodi again

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.GrundleStiltzkin said:Whooshed?

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.GrundleStiltzkin said:Whooshed?

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. -

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

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. -

Nope. But he borrowed just as much from country as white boys like Elvis, Bill Hailey, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee did from blues and R&B.dnc said:

"Maybellene" is one of the first rock-and-roll songs. It was written and recorded in 1955 by Chuck Berry, and inspired/adapted from the Western Swing fiddle tune "Ida Red," which was recorded in 1938 by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. Berry's song tells the story of a hot rod race and a broken romance. It was released in July, 1955 as a single by Chess Records, of Chicago, Illinois.[2] It was Berry's first single and his first hit. "Maybellene" is considered one of the pioneering rock-and-roll songs: Rolling Stone magazine wrote, "Rock & roll guitar starts here."[3] -

Covered wagons (burned or otherwise) are a source of endless comedy in my view.Swaye said:
