fortunate son

• hastası olduğum grubun, en baba şarkılarından biri.
  
  sözlerini yazan john fogerty'ye kulak verelim: "the thoughts behind this song - it was a lot of anger. so it was the vietnam war going on... now ı was drafted and they're making me fight, and no one has actually defined why. so this was all boiling inside of me and ı sat down on the edge of my bed and out came "ıt ain't me, it ain't me, ı ain't no senator's son!" you know, it took about 20 minutes to write the song." demiş.
  
  ve eklemiş: "fortunate son wasn't really inspired by any one event. julie nixon^* was dating david eisenhower^*. you'd hear about the son of this senator or that congressman who was given a deferment from the military or a choice position in the military. they seemed privileged and whether they liked it or not, these people were symbolic in the sense that they weren't being touched by what their parents were doing. they weren't being affected like the rest of us"

  aynı tarihlerde texas senatörü george bush'un kendisiyle aynı adı taşıyan ^*oğlunun air national guard'a katılıp f-102 tayyaresini uçurmak suretiyle vietnam'a gitmeden kebap bir askerlik yaptığını da ekleyelim ve fogerty başgana selamımızı çakalım.^*
