He probably got off to all those Vietnam movies or shows that’d use Fogerty’s Fortunate Son song, but never actually paid attention to the lyrics. You know. Superficial understanding of his own world and all that.

You're right. I ignored the lyrics because I liked Fogerty's southern accent. I also like the song Paint it Black, by the Rolling Stones. It was the intro to tour of duty, which was about the Vietnam war. But yeah, none of those guys will be getting a dime from me in sales. I've removed Fogerty from my spotify.

Cancel culture at its finest

Fortunate Son is pretty straightforward in its message. Did you not realize it was inspired by him knowing a rich kid that got out of the draft due to "bone spurs"? How did you miss that over the decades?

If you're going to remove music from your playlist based on politics you might as well get rid of it all. Unless you really like Ted Nugent. Also, Paint it Black is about depression, not war. Read the lyrics. As I stated above, most artists are liberal. There's a reason for that.

That being said, one of my favorite bands has a frontman with right leaning libertarian ideals. I'm pretty far to the left, but I still enjoy the music.

Not so fast, Ajax. Are you saying you're removing Fogerty merely because MeDotOrg associated him with Trump's taxes?

I used to like Credence Clearwater Revival up until about 3 seconds ago when I read this post.

Sounds like a personal problem to me. You never paid attention to the lyrics before you read this post? John Fogerty is a liberal, always has been. Most artists are. Can't think of too many great rock artists that are hard right. There's a reason for that

With all due respect Father, Trump didn't pay attention to the lyrics before he started using the song at his rallies either and made a total ass of himself.

Ajax, you are aware that the song is not actually about Trump? It was written and recorded long before Trump became a political figure.

Perhaps for some reason you see it as describing Trump even if it was not written about him.

Moderately off-topic (sort of), but this thread reminded me of the woman with a "thin blue line" flag dancing to Rage's Killing in the Name.

Fogerty is a liberal. Listening to his music would feel like wearing a pair of Nike LeBron sneakers made by Uyghur slave labor in China.

Aren’t you the guy who suggested your ethnostate would raise an army to conquer foreign lands to plunder their resources, presumably depopulate their regions, and then settle them with your ilk?

You’re perhaps one of the most irrational human beings I’ve ever seen operate, and that’s actually amazing considering just how many retards blathering on about their trials I had to endure during testimony Sundays.
