Comment: Homage for Creedence Clearwater in Band's Hometown

After last week's seeking sites connected to Creedence Clearwater Revival, we published a poll Saturday asking readers if the city should do more to mark the legendary band's El Cerrito origin, ""

The poll has been receiving a large number of votes and quite a few comments, including our Comment of the Week by T Booher below. The comment responds to two other comments, one by Ricardo Amor saying El Cerrito honors itself by honoring the city's "blue-collar treasure," and the other by Paul D saying the city should replace its plan to hang abstract art "junk" on streetlight poles with a plan to display the names and images of its "important and prominent musicians, artists, scientists and thinkers." 

T Booher:

We can have both. Everything doesn't need to be either or. Honor CCR which as Ricardo points out honors El Cerrito too. Find ways to honor others AND have public art that is abstract and otherwise. I love our community. Let's keep things positive and constructive.
