I think Down On The Corner is a simple but groovy good-time-music-song.
I guess the meaning of this song is just "going back to the musical roots",
because CCR were often playing Skiffle music before the time they got
successful.
And you can match the fictional musicians in the songtext to the
Creedence musicians (Willy=John Fogerty, Poorboy=Tom Fogerty, Blinky=Stu Cook,
Rooster=Doug Clifford)
Yes, Down on the Corner is nothing more than a "feel good" song built out of bullshit forced, artificial nostalgia. Gosh golly! remember the good ol' days when a penny or a nickel was actually worth something! And folks would make their own fun by just singing on the street corners! Guess what assholes - you never lived that and 99.9% of the people who love this song have never lived that so FUCK YOU old fogerty and your forced nostalgic BS.
