Nader pushes justice
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Ralph
Nader has some advice for would-
be lawyers: Don’t yield to clients
TOO much.
“You go through life like legal
Magoos, focusing very narrowly
on retainers and forsaking the big
picture,” the consumer advocate
and Harvard-trained lawyer said
Saturday at the University of Day-
ton.
“Who is to say rjo to powerful
clients if not their attorneys, who
are supposed to be their coun-
selors?” he asked. “Who is to pre-
serve the independence of our pro-
fession, so we don’t become tech-
nical minions for the rich and pow-
erful?”
Nader urged 157 law school
graduates to “cultivate a sense of
justice” and “not to succumb too
heavily to clients.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Making
music can take time, something
John Fogerty has never worried
about too much.
The former Creedence Clearwa-
ter Revival front man renowned for
his bayou rock ’n roll style has
released a new album, “Blue Moon
Swamp,” 11 years after his last one,
“Eye of the Zombie.” Why so
long?
“There was no way I was going
to make a record that was no
good,” Fogerty said in a June 2 edi-
tion of Time magazine. “You keep
going until you get it.”
His mind may have been on
other things. Fogerty was in legal
disputes over his songs and his first
marriage broke up in 1987.
He has since remarried. And he
refused to hurry the new album,
spending 3 1/2 years learning the
bottleneck guitar style and dobro
rather than hire studio musicians.
“I’d lost the ability to create,” he
said. “I’ve found it again. I call it
the miracle.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) —
Singer Peggy Scott-Adams is
enjoying a revival of sorts with a
song about a familiar blues lament
— losing a lover. But the tune
comes with a twist.
She loses her man to his fishing
chum “Bill,” which is also the
song’s title. Some radio station
managers call the two-month-old
single a hit.
“When the song came out,
everybody wanted to hear it all the
time,” said Pam Cook, promotions
coordinator for WENN radio in
Birmingham.
“I think I’m back,” said Mrs.
Scott-Adams, who toured with Ben
E. King in the 1960s, but had since
been helping her mortician hus-
band in California.
Scott-Adams, 48, said she was
worried her new song would be
considered an endorsement of a
particular lifestyle and wouldn’t be
played.
“But once we had gone in and
done the vocals, once I came to the
realization that the song is not
about, you know, homosexuality or
bisexuality ... I felt better about it,”
she said. “It’s really about decep-
tion.”
She has no “Bill” situation in her
life, but has since encountered fans
who do.
