That voice is not of this world. Fogerty is a legend.

War sucks. Neocons romanticize war. The largest anti-war demonstrations in history occurred before Iraq was invaded in 2003. Kudos to Fogerty.

Every song triggers memories of a place, a time, an event or a loved one..well this song triggers memories of my nephew who died a few years back, a real crazy Fogerty fan..this one was his favourites out of them all..not that i have a fav, Fogerty is a living legend that remains to produce amples of hits to his fans..Back to 'Brownie' or 'Jimmy the Kid' as he was known..when even i hear this song, it reminds me of him & my uncles who fought & died in the battle field throughout S.E.Asia in WW2.

@slarsen00 - I think your comment points to just one of the many reasons why John is such a great talent. His music is so good that he can communicate a strong political message without infuriating the people who may disagree with him...

@SeleniumRectifier I'm sorry what did you say your politics were? And remember...John Served in the army during the early Vietnam years.

@fa0798 - I think I'm largely an Independent. I do have strong feelings that the invasion of Iraq was ill-advised, and I do see (negative) parallels between that and our involvement in Vietnam.

@SeleniumRectifier When every television station in the United States is telling you to "Tune in at 9pm, for Operation Shock and Awe." That is not only reminiscent of Viet Nam, but also war for money and tv ratings. When one sniper could have killed Hussein, without blasting innocent civilians and destroying an entire country. That's just my opinion. I am in the peanut gallery of life. About John Fogarty's age. He sings the truth. Didn't we learn ?? Thanks !! Great

@cindiloohoo552 - Agreed. I can't recall if Shock and Awe was actually scheduled so it would appear live on US TV at a time slot favorable for the most number of viewers here? As to your main point, I don't know what - if anything - we've learned since Viet Nam.
