Not according to Rush Limbaugh. Research what he said about this song. I don't agree with him at all. I'm just pointing out a pattern of what so called conservative peoples views.
What a coincidence just last night I was driving home from work and I was listening to this and paying attention to the lyrics. You know how sometimes you hear a song your whole life and you don't pay attention. I'm more of a musician so lyrics are usually the last thing that pierce my consciousness. Anyways, I sat there and I enjoyed the meaning of the song for the first time really. Then today I get on RUclips and this video is recommended on my feed. Thanks John for this and all the other songs that you have contributed to our culture.
It is interesting how that works. I think as we grow we learn to appreciate the music of our past even more. As the internet became more and more of a resource I can't tell you how many times I've searched the lyrics of songs close to my heart only to be floored at the messages I was missing, or the words I was singing wrong for years 😆. It was interesting hearing it from your perspective as a musician. Cheers
Dear John, I was born in 1987 and your music was a constant in my life thanks to my dad. He made sure I listened to your songs on my Walkman and they kind of became the soundtrack of my childhood. Although I’ll likely never have the chance to meet you, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the music, the memories, and the legacy you've created for generations to cherish.
This song never gets old to me. I wasn't born until the mid-90s, yet Fortunate Son is an integral part of my childhood. I've heard it a thousand times, and it never gets old. I love to jog while listening to classic rock music... When Fortunate Song comes on, I bob my head and run a little faster. Much love and peace to all!! ☮
John Fogerty is one of the greatest rock´n roll artist on the planet and to hear him tell the story about the song with such humbleness is just amazing.
I still have the original album with that song plus several other albums. Long-time favorite. I saw you live in Charlotte, NC, way back when. Thanks, John.
I’m amazed that he still has a good sounding voice. He used to be such a shouter. In the past I always thought that he wouldn’t have a voice left when he got older. “Fortunately” I was wrong.😊
I don't think I've ever heard him speak before, and wow what a shock how sweet and soft his speaking voice is compared to his powerful singing voice! Definitely a "wait what??" moment.
It's even crazy to think this man exists. Their music was so out of this world, so bigger than life... Fortunate Son has to be among the greatest of great
As someone who grew up economically disadvantaged like he did, and served the Army like he did, this song resonates with me strongly. My uncle was never the same after coming back from Viet Nam. The message is still relevant today between the haves and have nots.
My first LP ever was Cosmos Factory when it first came out. Wore that ole thing out. Today I own a box set of CCR's LP's and listen often they never gets old. Well except for me I got old.
I'm 59 and the first record I ever owned was "Have You Ever Seen the Rain". Your music has brought me joy throughout my whole life. Live long and keep singing, brother.
I was Air Force, I loved and still do love that song. The Air Force was my way to dodge the drift, I didn't want to be in the Army. I wish the record company had treated you guys better, you guys made great music.
i was my mother`s caregiver from 2006 until her passing in 2014. She had came down with dementia in 2006. She had grew up dirt poor in the 1930, 40s, picking cotton and other crops , i played your cover of cotton fields back home to her one day. She had to hear it everyday, she really loved you. Thanks
My son and I just moved from the NW to Mississippi. The other day I was driving him to pick up his KLR at a shop in Monroe LA. We were driving through the cotton fields when I played that cotton fields song for him. He'd heard of CCR but not that song. Oh brother what a golden moment, us singing and laughing. I'm sorry about your mom Aaron, may she rest easy now.
John will go down in history as a musical genius! I played that 8 track tape to death in my VW bug---that song never gets old! saw John in Missoula Montana at the Beer Festival where he played in an open field...was a highlight being 10ft from him playing CCR songs.....ii did see CCR In Houston in 1970 at the Houston Colosseum. ....there has never been a better concert in my life.....thanks John!
Every song John Fogerty has composed are all classics and I never get sick of listening to his songs, and I even do cover versions of several of his songs like, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, and they look simple at first glance, but believe me John's songs are difficult to play, and his vocals are impossible to copy, and I have to either drop my guitars down several steps, or sing one octave lower, anyway I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s trying to play CCR and John's songs, and it helped me to develop my guitar playing techniques, I love CCR, John Fogerty and all their songs and music, peace and love 🎼🎵🎶🎵☮🍀💌🎸🎸🎸
Additional sound track to 10 years of government subsidized lunacy,, on an industrial level...and for a county that regularly blows it's horn about being full of smart people,, wasn't too smart,
@@ivanjulian2532 i got to give the nod to Fortunate Son just due to For What It's Worth referring to the Sunsset Strip Mall riots and not being an anti war song.
All of these replies are legit. These songs are in a class of their own along with a few others. There're times (like last night) I listen to them all one after another when I need to release emotions beyond explanation, but emotions I know some of you share and you probably do the same thing. It's deep.
I grew up in the 80s-90s. I spent my youth listening to Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Iron Maiden, etc. Been playing guitar for 35 years. But even as a kid, listening to my parents' radio, your songs stood out. There has never been another even close to your sound. And mixed with your writing/playing talent! Amazing. Even live recordings of you sound amazing; just raw greatness.
A song that's still relevant today. "Its a big club, and you ain't in it". Its a shame people literally embrace and vote for it now instead of realizing they dont care about us.
Thank you John, loved your music growing up. Born in 55' I was registered for the draft and dreading the call to go over. I grew up in Memphis Tennessee and loved the songs you wrote about the south and it's people.
As corny as it sounds I really appreciate these stories.If you are actually reading this, thanks for creating all of these great songs, you have truly made the world a better place for me.
You have one of the most meanings to me out of any other artist, even know my generation is right now and yours was in 1960 you were the reason my grandmother agreed to go on that date with my grandfather bad Moon rising I always said, give me the luck to ask the woman I loved out and that worked at least when it did and now that my grandfathers long passed away after raising me, your music is what keeps us together either I am on the ground or in the sky. Like like he’s right next to me. Thank you mr John Fogarty
I love this song. It's one of my favorite songs ever. The guitar riff in the start is simple yet so good and clever. Creedence is one of my favorite bands and your music will never get old.
Great story ! Thanks for sharing ! Texan here, Billy Sol Estes brought back some memories. lol Had 2 uncles drafted in the mid-60's. One Marine, one AF. Both came back. The music from CCR will forever remain in my life. Born in 60'.
My Dad loved CCR, remember him listening to ya in the late 60's and 70's. Along with a lot of other music, I listen to CCR. My 19 yo listens now as well. Generational music
One of the best songs ever written in rock and roll. Perfect music, perfect lyrics and timeless. Still applies today in the world we live in. One of my goto songs to cover live too.
This is a goldmine, he's even telling some facts that aren't found on interviews. Content that is really worth it here on RUclips! I hope John eventually talks about the stories behind all of his songs including the obscure and underrated ones.
Wow. Thank you for doing this, John. This song along with other greats of that era defined my Dad's prime. It defined my childhood through him. We would thanks you as well. Go bless you, sir.
I saw you perform live in 2007 in Charlotte North Carolina. Great show, Willie Nelson opened for you. You talked about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and how "They were doing it again". A few months later I was in Baghdad Iraq as an 11B Army Infantryman, They did it again.
Thank you John for what you have given us over so many decades...and it really has been a lifetime for many... I'm almost 60yo ... John, you will be 80yo May 2025.... your generation of musicians shaped lives and gave people a reason to think about what was going on in their world and put it to music... I have stage 3 bowel cancer so my time is confirmed..... I have made no difference on this planet...you guys did ... again, thank you Sir
You are a Fortunate man John.... and your fans are very fortunate too... for being able to listen to the great music that you have created for the world!
Thanks for sharing your big story with us. 1969, when I was 13 jears old and I heard this song for the first time, it really blew me away. Until today this song is one of my favorites in the repertoire of my cover band. ...and you are one of my heroes.
I love how it never stopped being the 60s in Fogerty's living room. ✌

Humility ... Yea
I consider it the definitive Creedence song. It still gives me chills when you sing "More, more, more." So powerful.
They've got so many 'definitive' songs, for me it's hard to distinguish...
This song and “Pagan Baby”.
