That’s rock legend John Fogerty – singer, songwriter and guitar player for Creedence Clearwater Revival – tweeting about his cease-and-desist order against President Donald Trump, who regularly plays the band’s classic anti-war anthem “Fortunate Son†at his rallies.
Trump also fans the flames of hatred, racism and fear while rewriting recent history, is even more reason to be troubled by his use of my song,†Fogerty continued in his tweet:.
“Fortunate Son,†according to Fogerty, is a song about the “unfairness of class,†specifically “about rich men making war and poor men having to fight them.â€.
Meanwhile, Trump, who managed to avoid serving in the military, has reportedly said soldiers who have died in war are “losers†and “suckers.†He also said that he prefers “people who weren’t captured,†referring to the late Sen.
“I would say, 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,†Fogerty said on Facebook.
