Last March, John Fogerty could sense there was trouble up around the bend.
The songwriter was set to play a string of West Coast casinos as part of his
My 50 Year Trip tour, along with a Las Vegas residency at the Wynn. The first show was canceled. The second concert took place about two hours south in Laughlin, Nevada, which he tells
SPIN was”so spooky” due to the looming pandemic. For the third casino gig, Fogerty said, “The whole time [before the show], I was thinking about how much I don’t want to [play it].” A few hours before taking the stage, he found out the show was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions.

John Fogerty Debuts New Music For 2021 ‘Weeping In The Promised Land’
Creedence Clearwater Revival legend John Fogerty has a new song ‘Weeping In the Promised Land’.
The song is about political protest and Black Lives Matter. In ‘Weeping in the Promised Land’ John Fogerty is articulating the last four years of America with lyrics like “poisoned with lies” and “Out in the street, on your neck with a knee. All the people are crying your last words ‘I can’t breathe.’
The gospel tinged ‘Weeping In The Promised Land’ is John’s first new song since ‘The Holy Grail’ with Billy Gibbons in 2018 and then you have to go back over a decade to 2007’s ‘revival’ album for Fogerty’s last album of new music with original songs.
John Fogerty is once again reacting to current events with a new song, Weeping in the Promised Land. I took a look back at what 2020 has been and tried to get my feelings out about the political climate, Black Lives Matter, COVID and everything else that occurred this year, he said in a statement. Friends are dying, we are stuck at home, we are indeed weeping in the promised land.
In the song, the former Creedence Clearwater Revival leader refers to President Donald Trump as a forked-tongue pharaoh obsessed with power and shouting down a medicine man - most likely a reference to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation s leading immunologist.
