Dave Henderson Once Sang Backup for John Fogerty

No really, he did — at an animal welfare charity concert thrown together by Cardinal skipper Tony La Russa. My favorite part of this interview (conducted by Chad Garrison, a John Stamos doppelganger and Damon's counterpart at the Riverfront Times, our St. Louis sister paper) — aside from the final question and the line, "this year we got Air Supply, Bily Bob Thornton's band, and Tony Orlando" — is the revelation that La Russa: (a) has attended more than one Grateful Dead show, and (b) was attracted to the band not because of Jerry, Bob, or Phil — but because of Bruce Fucking Hornsby's presence on keys. I thought I'd heard it all; now I know I have.
