John Fogerty "Fortunate Son" 2008 Chicago

John Fogerty "Fortunate Son" live, Chicago, 2008.

There appears to have been a technical glitch in the way comments were posted here. In particular, one of my "responses" somehow turned out to be just a copy of the post I was responding to.

I do understand the environment under which this song was written as I am old enough to remember when this song was released.

I may delete the spurious posts to make the discussion clearer...

I dedicate this song to President Bush (Jr), Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Karl Rove.

To be completely honest, I liked Skylar Laine singing this on American Idol, better than CCR. Then again, im only fifteen, so i dont really know the history behind the song

You are right you don't know the relevance of this song but you can learn it by paying attention in history class.

There seems to be a technical error in the listing of these comments. The "response" I gave was somehow just a copy of the comment I was responding to. Look carefully and you will see it's the same exact words. I don't even know who Skyler Lane is.

I am 60 y/o and I believe I can well understand this song and the environment in which it was written.

Good, but not as good as the original. Nothing could beat it.

I would like to get my hands on the ones who screwed CCR out of 70% of their royalties. I would sqeeze it out of them and give it back to John. Lead me to them.
