    Prior to CCR, John Fogerty gotten drafted for Vietnam War in 1966. Immediately, he signed up for the Army. John went in as a Reservist supply clerk. John completed his service in 1968. I believed during his time in the Army, John wrote this song about the guys who served with him. While they served, rich and wealthy families pay to keep their kids out of the war.

    I am a baby boomer. Some of the songs from the 60s and 70s are songs against the war in Vietnam. This is one of them. Like so many of the songs back then the lyrics in this song are more important than the music. A fortunate son is one who avoided getting drafted, especially if he was born into wealth. UA-cam has the lyrics on video. Just a suggestion 😌

    Good one guys, great band. Definitely a Vietnam War protest song. That war was a joke, if your parents could afford to send you to college you were exempt from the draft. If your daddy was rich or a politician you were safe. Let me tell you brother, if that was you or me our asses would have been over there fighting. That was the most unnecessary war ever fought by this nation. Go to the Vietnam War Memorial in DC and when you see almost 58,000 names inscribed there it will bring a tear too your eyes. What a waste of young American lives. Check out "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" by this band, probably my favorite by them. I haven't got around to your John Lennon "Imagine" but will soon. Peace, young ones ☮️✌️💕

    Vietnam's protests songs...63 to 73 Vietnam War was a big divide in Country. Draft was used for first time since WW2...Hippie movement full force.
    You can hear it in the music, I was in High School so many friends where drafted, I can remember when the lottery numbers were announced every few months, praying my Brothers number didn't come up...I spent many hours Protesting Vietnam War. Women's Rights, Civil Rights. Then you had the Assasination of John F Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King during these years....again you can hear it in the music, Hippies was counterculture, fighting back against establishment, Equality, for all. I was proud to be part of changes...
    I keep waiting for the next Generation to step up, Hippies were all about Love Peace, Change.
    At least we left the World with a soundtrack of our generation...Great music comes from pain, loss, hope, love,
    Enjoy your Journey

    This is a Vietnam War era song. I remember it when it came out. "Fortunate Sons" were sons of Senators, Congressmen and the rich who got out of being drafted during the War by way of their Daddy's name. It was a song in protest of that. Vietnam was a very controversial war and probably the first time that citizens ever protested a war.

    When the singer, John Fogerty, split off to be an independent band his previous record label sued him over his song "The Old Man Down the Road". The record company said it sounded too much like CCR's song "Run through the Jungle". The judge ruled in favor of Fogerty saying you can't sue somebody for ripping off their own sound and voice.

    • @wnsafford1854
      @wnsafford1854 2 роки тому +1

      It was actually a jury trial. To add details; Fantasy Records sued John for the similarities between the songs, both of which he wrote, arranged, played guitar & sang lead on. In the 1988 trial, John explained the differences & similarities between his songs (including his signature Swamp Rock sound). His side argued, if he were guilty of plagiarizing himself, it would mean that no one with a unique style or sound could ever work freely in their field, as they’d effectively be indentured to a prior band or company. After just 2 hours of deliberation, the jury ruled in his favor. Had Fantasy won, John would have had to pay their attorney fees, but as defendant, he wasn’t automatically entitled to his fees. John then sued Fantasy for his 1.9 million in attorney fees. The court ruled he could only seek fees if he proved Fantasy’s suit was frivolous or in bad faith. He appealed, all the way to the US Supreme Court, where in 1994, Fogerty v Fantasy, the court ruled 9-0 in his favor. This ruling radically reduced the incentive for former entities to go after others who likewise leave a band or a label.

    • @netzahuacoyotl
      @netzahuacoyotl 2 роки тому +1

      You’re omitting the fact that Fogerty sold his songwriting credits to Fantasy when he was young and naive about the industry. That gave them the standing to sue. Glad the legal system worked in his favor, but no one should ever sell their songwriting credits. If the song has a long life, gets licensed to film productions, etc. that songwriting credit can be a continuing source of income.

    • @wnsafford1854
      @wnsafford1854 2 роки тому +1

      @@netzahuacoyotl Per John, the deal he had with Fantasy was 50/50. However, had they prevailed in the court case, it would have been as though 2nd song had no right to exist & Fantasy would have taken 100% of "Old Man" royalties. He tells of the 50% deal in a vid titled "John Fogerty Discusses His Landmark Court Case at the Grammy Museum" (I hesitate to put in the link, because UA-cam seems to be deleting some posts with links).
