Bounce Back

If you are a fan of NBC's “The Office,” then you are probably aware of Dunder Mifflin's resident curmudgeon, Creed Bratton, who has been known to play the occaisional hot guitar solo, in between his sarcastic gibes. Where does that come from, you wonder? What you may not know is that, back in the turbulent '60's, Creed was a member of the Grass Roots, that seminal LA pop-rock band created by P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri. What you may also not know is that Creed, at age 69, is still a performing and recording musician, most recently releasing an album in 2006 called “Bounce Back.” Let's take a look at Creed yesterday and today - keep on rockin' Creed!
