Gigs: PodXT, Computer, FBV ShortBoard, Gearbox and Adobe Audition SoftWareīowman will be missed Comment by Michael Brault Solo & Rhythm Guitar 2 : Gibson LesPaul Robot He lost the publishing rights to all the songs he wrote for CCR in his contract with Fantasy Records.Backing Track : Drum, Bass, Voice, Rhythm Guitar 1 = Line6 Even though Fogerty wrote this, he doesn’t own its publishing rights. That was why CCR was able to perform it on The Ed Sullivan Show, because the producers failed to realize that it was actually a protest song. It was often misinterpreted as a patriotic anthem.
“Fortunate Son” was featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Mafia 3, BioShock Infinite, and Grand Theft Auto V to name a few. Fogerty teamed up with Grohl to record it for Fogerty’s 2013 album “Wrote a Song for Everyone.” They received criticisms, but Fogerty defended them. Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, and Zac Brown covered the song at the November 2014 Concert for Valor in Washington D.C. “I found that very upsetting, and that’s why I wrote ‘Fortunate Son.’ That was the whole intent of the song, the inspiration for the song… I find it confusing that the President has chosen to use my song for his political rallies when in fact, it seems like he is probably the Fortunate Son.” 6. “I was very upset about was that people of privilege – in other words, rich people or people that had position – could use that to avoid the draft,” he wrote. It angered Fogerty, and he took to Facebook to speak out about it. In September 2020, President Donald Trump used it at one of his rallies. But to some of us who were watching closely, we just knew we were headed for trouble.” 5. “In 1969, the majority of the country thought morale was great among the troops, and like 80% of them were in favor of the war. “Julie Nixon was hanging around with David Eisenhower, and you just had the feeling that none of these people were going to be involved with the war,” Fogerty told Rolling Stone. It was inspired by those close to politicians. “If there’s some other song that was probably just a simple rock ‘n’ roll song, maybe I wouldn’t feel so strongly,” he admitted, “but ‘Fortunate Son’ has a real point to it.” 4. It was used for a Wrangler jeans commercial in 2000, but they only featured the first two lines. “The whole thing happened in about 20 minutes. “When I felt it was about ready to hatch, I went into my bedroom and just sat down to write,” he told American Songwriter. “It’s the old saying about rich men making war and poor men having to fight them.” 2. “The song speaks more to the unfairness of class than war itself,” John Fogerty said.
It’s a protest song against the Vietnam War and the establishment.
