Where did John Fogerty get his habit of singing sideways into the microphone?
It began in the mid-’60s. His pre-Creedence band, The Golliwogs, performed in a gross place. The people either made him laugh or sometimes disgusted him, so he usually ended up looking at the wall while he was singing. The wall would have all sorts of things written all over it, and he read it all. Looking at the wall then got him in the habit.
