Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

John Fogerty: Oh, wow. Well, the first thing is listen to your heart. You are sensing that you have a talent and you should listen to that talent. Listen to your heart, meaning do everything you can to follow that, to develop that talent. Never trust anyone who says something to you like, “Oh there are millions of people that want to do that. You don’t have a chance!” Never listen to that. Always follow that inspiration because it’s what you love to do. I’m going to leave it at that. The other things you will learn along the way. Sometimes the people you meet will be unkind to you, but if you listen to your own voice and try to stay true to your own voice, things will pretty much work out.
