It may have been a “bad moon” rising in the famous 1969 song by CCR, but this weekend’s full moon could well inspire predictions for trouble of a similar kind. That’s because it’s this year’s “supermoon” — the full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to Earth — and supermoons are often believed to wreak even more havoc on our planet than ordinary full moons do. Along with the higher tides that are known to follow, dire warnings about supermoons can range from natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to the inadvisability of practicing yoga. Is there’s any truth behind the concerns? That’s another story.
Creedence Clearwater Revival excellent band but truly underrated in my opinion. Bad Moon Rising pretty upbeat song with good lyrics.
