CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - Fortunate Son | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@suecook1326]

This is an anti war song. Senators cause the wars to happen but their sons aren't the ones doing the fighting... they're the fortunate sons/

[@DwayneShaw1]

Vietnam and the draft

[@sammybeck7794]

Things just got settled this year. After over 50 years of this trouble with CCR and the managers and even fellow band members John Fogerty finally got what he wanted

[@dianedarby442]

Wow, we sang the hell out of this when it was 1st released and all over the radio. Loved it then and still do. Great reaction!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Their sound and John's voice are special

[@melissakhalar1842]

Great song. Great review. ❤️

[@Colin-1964]

They got the recognition, they were on top for several years. Sadly they did have a bad break up which lasted years.

[@kenhellberg7973]

this song was against the draft for Vietnam. They felt that some people didn't recognize the anti war / establishment etc. during the time, but, they were famous. Not overlooked. I saw them in and they were great. As soon as they came on stage a big puff of smoke went up in the audience.

[@MisterWondrous]

Wise commentary, Captain. Great people's song.

[@ritagryphon222]

Love this energy love his voice Nice reaction as always ❤

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I know a Fortunate Son presidential candidate who plays this song at his rallies. He really ought to listen to the words.

[@ed.z.]

This is a protest song against the unjustified war in Vietnam. 1960 -1974.

[@jackiegerspachhas4237]

It’s about the Vietnam war and the unfairness of it!!!!!

[@doomhunter697]

Fogerty lost the rights to his songs early on. The have been lawsuits back and forth, even between band members, for 50 years. This year, he finally got the rights back- after paying $145 million for them!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Man, terrible. So many artist in this generation got railed by the music execs

[@doomhunter697]

@@ShawnSalvadoriHe was even sued for plagiarizing himself! (He wrote a song that sounded similar to one he lost the rights to. He won)

[@christinemccann6088]

This is from the 60s. This was an anti war song but more importantly an anti draft song. People lived in constant fear of their number being called. Senator's sons didn't go to Viet Nam.

[@blitztim6416]

Virtually every song John sings is good. Unfortunately the other guys wanted to sing and do songs they had written. Those are crap. Then they broke up. John got screwed by management and the record company. But he finally got the rights to his songs back and has control over them now. John still tours and is just as good while in his seventies.

Way too short!

[@hurricane1951]

CCR has a tragic history, one of the worst of the era. Look it up.
