FIRST TIME HEARING CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (CCR) - FORTUNATE SON | REACTION

[@vernhoke7730]

As a veteran myself who's father ended up in Nam for an 18 month tour a year before he was going to retire this song hits. As a Marine who served with many Vietnam vets, the stories they told of how they were treated when they came home, being called baby killers and getting spit on, makes me honor those who served there even more.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

I served 2 years Vietnam. You Americans need to cut the Nam! name. It is Vietnam. Grow up! You only say it like that because you want to feel tough.

[@Hexon66]

The spitting never happened. Complete myth. And it wouldn't have been the protesters anyway, it's more the right wing chickenhawks who viewed losing as shameful.

[@davidgross990]

It sucked, I get much more appreciation for my service now than I did back in the day when I was in the Navy.

CCR and John Fogarty was a great American band.. Do a deep dive, also, check out "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop, live on Midnight Special, it's fire, good to see your smile.

1969, gratest year in Rock-music History!

[@blindreactions9498]

Anti-war Vietnam song, the draft and those fortunate to be exempt

[@brandonnshante]

Oh

[@cheryla7480]

One of the best anti war songs ever written!!! Performed by the only band that could do it justice!! CCR. It was like an anthem for us all back then.
