O.k. This is a continuation to my trivia question about the song rip offs - There was a artist who was sued for plagiarizing himself. Can you name that artist and name the songs?

Good trivia question. I will let somebody else get this one.

Wasn't it John Fogerty, and the allegation was Old Man Down the Road was plagerized from Green River?

I was in a band once that fused those two tunes together.

4 musically identical songs with different lyrics. Talk about plagarism.
