Had a friend who had a very active imagination, which we attributed to an over-indulgence in banned substances in his youth. Had some very heroic Vietnam stories, that another vet said had the place names and timelines so screwed up that he couldn't even figure out what ol' Charlie was talking about.
But my favorite was when he was in the music scene in San Francisco in the mid-'60's. He was hanging around with John Fogarty, John Sebastion, Suzi Quatro and some others when they wrote the song "Suzi Q" as a tribute to her. He said her nickname was Suzi Creamcheese, and I never had the nerve to ask him why, at least in mixed company. Of course, Fogarty's band Creedence Clearwater made a big hit out of it (which they did). But after he left, I was thinking I had heard someone else do it- so went out the the shop, where I have my "oldies" collection. And sure enough, on the 1957 disc, was Dale Hawkins doing "Suzi Q". And I'm pretty sure he didn't write it in honor of Suzi Quatro, since Suzi would have been 7 years old at the time.
