HEADED FOR HOME
I have a better title, except Malamud already claimed it: The Natural. John Fogerty’s sound could never be pinned down to time or region; spring “Who’ll Stop The Rain” or “Lodi” on a panel of musicologists 30, 40 years from now and ask them to place it, and odds are there’ll be a lot of baffled head-scratching.
