No...you nailed the meaning. Anti-Vietnam song. The draft was still on at that time and a lot of guys were getting drafted to go fight an unpopular war...but the sons of millionaires and politicians always seemed to avoid the draft.
I remember being 9 years old, at my grandparents house watching the draft on tv to see if my fathers younger brother’s number was drawn. I knew fear then. He wasn’t called to fight.
CCR was the soundtrack for our troops in Vietnam and also for all of us protesting the war back home in the States. They were the perfect fit for the time. Still love that sound. Keep reacting to them, there is a lot of great music left!
Love this song, straight up a anti war, anti draft song, so relevant, even in today's time. Love CC and your reaction was great, loved it! So glad to see you liking these songs from the late 60's early 70's. That's my era and there's never been another music era like it. Peace out!
Agreed. But I would include early 90s as well. And it's starting to look like we're finally on an upswing in music again. Usually when they're social turmoil there's great music
@@Military450Veteran to each their own. I definitely don't agree with the 80s being included in the best. But that's just my opinion. And I was there to you know firsthand.. I thought there was a lot of fun music then , but I wouldn't exactly call it great. Of course there's always exceptions to every rule. It just wasn't great as a whole
This song came out the same year my older brother went to Vietnam. Brings back very poignant memories when I hear it. His enlisting, horror stories of boot camp, his visit home before he shipped out, how handsome he looked in his uniform, how scared I was that I would never see him again. It's a bittersweet song for me.
This was a protest to the war. I had to register for the draft and was getting my head ready. I was not a fortunate one. God Bless all our brothers who were not fortunate enough to come home.😪
Love CCR! Great song! You should try Who'll stop the Rain...Long As I Can See the Light...& their version of Heard It Through the Grapevine is awesome!
John used to get so moved hearing from the Vietnam vets that they had this song blasting all the time at camp. That really touched him. Correct me if I'm wrong, guys. I think that John actually played all the instruments on the tracks and the guys had to just play live. That comes from John's autobiography which is great. John is still playing to a packed house in Las Vegas, he only does a handful of shows there a year. He still sings great, guitar playing awesome and runs around that stage like a young man - HIGH ENERGY. His drummer is killer now as well. You should just check out something from John Fogerty live and you'll see what I mean.
CCR was the soundtrack to my six years of military service from 1967-68 to 1973. Every song I hear now from them from that era, can put me at the exact moment I first heard it. What memories!
This song really shows the difference between that generation and the current one. Back then there were many protest songs from different artists. With everything going on today it"s so sad the same isn't happening.
GREAT Band and song!! This song has been in many movies, I think Forest Gump, Live Free and Die (die hard movie) and a few others relating to the Vietnam war. The fortunate son referred to people in Washington who didn't let their kids be sent to the war, while others had to go. Its a GREAT song.
Great reaction, brother. I classify this type of song as protest Rock and they were made in opposition to the Vietnam War. Some really powerful, legendary songs during that time. Unfortunately, they still resonate in our modern era.
When I was traveling in Europe and ran out of money, I got work on the US army posts in Germany, d.j.'ing and dancing in the enlisted men's clubs for a few hours a day. It was the early '70's and a lot of the guys there had already done a tour in Vietnam. I loved playing this song for them.
My favorite group of all-time!!! This song is in more Vietnam War movies than any other song that exists!! I don't know that for an absolute fact, but I bet I'm right!!
I first heard these in the British Army during my 2nd time serving. In 92 I was 20 on an Army Landing Craft attached to 3rd Commando Brigade RM. We were on exercise. We had just watched Hamburger Hill and then Apocalypse Now. My skipper had all the Creedance Clearwater Revival albums. So we played all their tunes. I served during the first Gulf in 90/91 but not in the war zone as half regt in UK other half in Saudi. Our turn to relieve our mates, Sadaam surrendered. The 60s era songs especially Vietnam era tunes, are much loved by the military. No one hates war more than a warrior. Those anti war tunes rely hit home. But if I never wore my uniform with pride, someone else would've had to. I served 3 different times in the British Army. 1st time: at 16 yrs old in Jnr Ldrs Royal Artillery 28th June 88, but had last school exam 28th, so joined a day later. Unfortunately I ruptured my Achilles tendon in Oct 88 so either backsquad or rejoin at 17.5yrs. 2nd time: I reapplied in June 89. Took the Oath again I. Dec 89 after retests etc. I rejoined 3rd Jan 90. Two weeks before my 18th birthday. I passed out best recruit, and first ever guard duty was an IRA bus bomb threat aimed for the bus stop 20 metres from my position on the gate. My Achilles tendon played up a few times, so by time I had fully qualified as an Army Maritime Seaman on Army Landing Craft, Mexeflote Rafts, Tugs, LCVPS, small fast patrol boats and Ribs etc. The very day I arrived at my parent unit around Oct/Nov. We were placed on a war footing for Op Granby (First Gulf). As mentioned above. My half of Regt didn't go as Sadaam surrendered on our turn. Did all the Gulf War syndrome jabs in UK. So got a 50page booklet to fillout about my health. Still think I'm not right. 3rd time: I split with ex in Nov 01 just after 911. I knew War was coming, so trained hard to join British Army Special Forces. I broke my back doing a charity parachute jump on a weekend off from SAS Signals pre Selection in March 03 (2 days before 2nd Gulf War). I went on Selection course in June 03, with a broken back I didnt know I had. Battling a 28 Yr ongoing multiple degenerative health nightmare. As think spinal injury first happened just after I left the regular Army in 1993 after 3 great years on RCT Maritime vessels. Think the flat bottom landing craft probably caused the issues to start. I lost everything in 06. Declared homeless bankrupt the lot due to nhs gp not helping me get mri scan. I finally got a diagnosis after losing everything in 2010. 5 spinal ops later. Op 4 and op 5 nearly killed me. Op 5 a delayed super bug jumped into my blood stream whilst recovering for 3 months at my patents. I had a case to sue the nhs. But same crappy gp, saved my life in front of my parents, so wasn't suing anyone after that. I'm struggling financially but my honour worth more than money. I wrote a letter to the SAS Signals Sqn Officer Commanding in 2015. To say sorry for wasting their time in 03. Attached my then 22yrs journey to the letter. I got an amazing reply. He couldn't believe I got as far as I did on one of (if not the) the toughest Selection course in the world for Special froces. Especially with a broken back. He said I would've been ideal for his unit. Sorry for very long post. But the 18months I trained to join the SAS Signals Course, I wouldn't have made it without my old Sony Walkman and great Hip Hop. REGGAE, RnB, Rock and 60s legendary tunes for motivation. I think why music is so important. It reminds us of the good and bad times. Can motivate, can comfort, can stir every emotion. Music is life, life is music. X
Now you're really getting into some good old fashioned rock'n'roll! CCR ruled the late '60's and early '70's. You might also check out: "Green River", "Lodi," "Who'll Stop the Rain?" and "Proud Mary". They rock!
I know you like some mellow stuff sometimes...they do a song called As long as I can see the Light, you should check it out and don't sleep on the Doobies :) :) Doobies live at the Beacon Theater Long Train Runnin' oh man...
Love CCR and this song. My favorite song that describe the horror/insanity war from a soldier's perspective is "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Liam Clancy (cover).
Yes this song was against the war and how regular guys did not have any loopholes getting drafted. Glad to hear you will be doing Born On The Bayou. Thanks for this Jovaughn
saw him at the Bell Center a few years ago - he's still rocking with his son by his side - he talked about his concert at Woodstock, last one onstage - after The Grateful Dead - only one standing fan with a lighter going, he performed for that one fan! LOL he thanked them for putting him on last after The Grateful Dead! LOL
Love CCR, SuzieQ get you moving. My friends 6 yr old never heard the song b4 but when it came on other day she said "look at my feet they want to dance".
I'm 75 and this song brings back all the sad memories of friends that never came home because of a so called Domino theory that in the end was just a theory. Every soul lost died for nothing as it turned out and no one in our Nation believed what our leaders told us after that.
I have heard this song quite a few times but to be honest, although I love CCR, I do not recall this song by its name. I always thought it was called It Aint Me. It's a great tune! I must have been busy listening to a Yankees game on my transistor radio when this first came out.
If you notice in the picture he's holding a washboard. Musicians, especially certain genres or areas use it as an instrument. Can't go wrong with any CCR song 🙌
John fogarty ( fog-are-tee ) Fun fact he wrote every song himself. The band took him to court after they split saying songs sound too fimiliar to his solo work. He took a guutar to court. Played dongs back to back lmao. Won the case. Won the rights to all past works too.
This was a major song during Vietnam. This and FOR WHAT ITS WORTH by BUFFALO SPRINGFIEKD were considered anthems about it. Kinda like theme songs for the war. Good react n getting it right J. The last name is pronounced FO...GER...TEE. Thanks for doing more CCR
Lead singer, Tom Fogerty, in the 1980s underwent back surgery, and was given a blood transfusion which was not screened for HIV. This caused him to become infected with the disease and subsequently resulted in his contraction of AIDS alongside his ensuing complications with tuberculosis, all of which eventually led to his death on September 6, 1990

I remember being 9 years old, at my grandparents house watching the draft on tv to see if my fathers younger brother’s number was drawn. I knew fear then. He wasn’t called to fight.
This song is about rich people sending poor people off to war. It is eternal.
agreed
Gosh, it sure is. I cannot believe that 30 - 40-year-old people have not heard that song when they were kids!!!!!
Thousands of years, the same crap. Same Propagandas, Same Rich People, just different tech and "Social Rights".
As veteran of the Vietnam War this song has a lot of meaning for me.
Thank you Terry
Thank you for your service (From Canada)
Thank you, Terry and God bless.
Yes. I feel quite passionate about this song too.
Bless you Terry and to the many others who served in Vietnam.
May you have peace within.
❤️
Thank you for your service, Terry. Welcome home! ❤️ 🇺🇸
This the theme song to the Vietnam war...
That war had the best soundtrack EVER!
Draft was a birthday lottery and draft dodging was an industry.. yes it helped to be a senator's son ...
This, and "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by the Animals for another one. As others have said before me--awful war, but great soundtrack.
This one and Country Joe's " Feels Like I'm Fixin' to Die" th-cam.com/video/8qPUJhy0Dz4/w-d-xo.html
I don't think theme song is the best term to use

Yeah except no war and no draft everything after that though I agree with can't beat the 70s
I've always loved their tribute to baseball called "Centerfield".
That was a John Fogerty solo song, but a great one.
@@ericwilkerson2598 Love centerfield! Coach!
Put me in coach!!!
Yes....Put me in Coach, I'm ready to play!!!
I love the vocals. That raw energy gives me goosebumps.

John Fogerty, the writer and lead singer is still around. He has his own YT channel with his kids and grandkids playing music. Check it out.
You beat me to it. I was just about to point people to the vids he's been posting during the lockdown.
Such a powerful song.......... Nice to be able to see the words cos my ears aren't what they were........ Loved it. ❤️

Posting born on bayou next
@@JayveeTV Yes, Looking out my back door.

Please reaction to “Proud Mary”. It’s not a Tina Turner song, it’s pure CCR!
They had such an INSANE number of hits in such a short time. It's frankly boggling!
This was a protest to the war. I had to register for the draft and was getting my head ready. I was not a fortunate one. God Bless all our brothers who were not fortunate enough to come home.😪
Thank you, Frank.
Thank you. My ex was #3 in the last year of the draft lottery so he enlisted in the Air Force. A smart move it turns out, he was sent to Thailand.
They speak truth. Love them great band.
"...and when you ask them how much should we give? they only answer More, More, More!"
Love, love, love Creedence Clearwater Revival!
You are absolutely right about the era this song was written. Very political. Very true too! They had some great songs. Many that had a message.
Love this song! Great band! ❤❤
Great choice! I love CCR and John Fogerty. The perfect song for the times. 👍💖☮️
Love CCR! Great song! You should try Who'll stop the Rain...Long As I Can See the Light...& their version of Heard It Through the Grapevine is awesome!

Thank you.
Thank you Dale. 🇺🇸🎗
This song really shows the difference between that generation and the current one. Back then there were many protest songs from different artists. With everything going on today it"s so sad the same isn't happening.
They were on top of the world for 5 years. A so-called supergroup after The Beatles' spilt
The song 'Effigy' from this album is smoldering and timely. There's a live TV performance of Fortunate Son that's great. They are precise.
We watched all these movies in history class about Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, etc... This song is ALWAYS in them. Loved it.
from my high school years, wondering if I would be called to go to vietnam. I was no fortunate one!
This is probably my favorite CCR song.
Oh...sweet!!! I can't wait for you to hear 'Born on the Bayou'. Johns vocals and guitar are amazing in that song. (well...all his songs, really!)
GREAT Band and song!! This song has been in many movies, I think Forest Gump, Live Free and Die (die hard movie) and a few others relating to the Vietnam war. The fortunate son referred to people in Washington who didn't let their kids be sent to the war, while others had to go. Its a GREAT song.
Tbh, this is the best reaction to this song I’ve ever seen so far
CCR is one of those rare bands that never had a bad song amazing band
Such a truth in this. This was during Vietnam.
It was a terrible time.

A strong and very political song, many were against the Vietnam war
Credence Clearwater Revival is simply the best. React to "I Heard Through The Grapevine" but it MUST be the 11:03 one by CCR.
Hell Yeah!!! I still have my vinyl of Cosmos Factory and it came out at every party when I was young
My favorite group of all-time!!! This song is in more Vietnam War movies than any other song that exists!! I don't know that for an absolute fact, but I bet I'm right!!
Love Love CCR!!!!!! Anything by them is ok with me; just love Foagarty’s voice ✌️
Oh you are on a roll again tonight with some great classics.
"Green River" is favorite song of theirs
always love your reactions. to the point well thought out. your the bomb
Welcome to the reality I lived back then. Cheers.
Thank you Jayvee !! Great reaction !!

Fortunate Son is such a a awesome song by them
Yes this song was against the war and how regular guys did not have any loopholes getting drafted. Glad to hear you will be doing Born On The Bayou. Thanks for this Jovaughn

It was an anti Vietnam song 1968-9. They were huge. Tons of hits.
Prob my fav song by them. Its on the Forest Gump soundtrack. Love it!
One of my favorites. Up there with Bad Moon Rising, and Someday Never Comes.
If you had to register for the draft you would know exactly what this song is about. ☮️
Dont forget about the draft lottery. My ex drew #3 so he joined the Air Force and ended up being sent to Thailand instead of 'Nam.

Down on the Corner was my happy song way back.
Hi Jay. Thanks for choosing such great music and being so open to it! Enjoying your channel!

"Run Through the Jungle" is another anti war song.
I can't remember if you did "Ramble Tamble" yet, but it's great.
This was a Vietnam war song‼️🔥
I know I say it often but this song here. Is my hymn. ❤️😘
Lodi and Someday never comes..... Those are the very best of CCR
Looking Out My Backdoor is my favorite
Really enjoy your reaction. Always more than just it's good or bad. Well done.
PUT A CANDLE IN THE WINDOW !!!! IS THE ONE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG BY THEM PLEASE PLAY IT THANK YOU !!
50 years later they still spitting the truth man
Another great ccr song
These guys had so many cool jams. Try Sweet Hitchhiker ,Good Golley Miss Molley or Around the Bend they rock
You surprised me I would of thought you would've checked them out after the first song. Loved your reaction.
John fogarty ( fog-are-tee )
Fun fact he wrote every song himself.
The band took him to court after they split saying songs sound too fimiliar to his solo work.
He took a guutar to court.
Played dongs back to back lmao.
Won the case.
Won the rights to all past works too.
This was a major song during Vietnam. This and FOR WHAT ITS WORTH by BUFFALO SPRINGFIEKD were considered anthems about it. Kinda like theme songs for the war. Good react n getting it right J. The last name is pronounced FO...GER...TEE. Thanks for doing more CCR
If you like this message, listen to Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA.
Who was the politician who tried to use it as their campaign song for all the wrong reasons?

Oh Bruce Springsteen is awesome and Born in the USA is such an awesome song same with This Life by Bruce Springsteen
Lead singer, Tom Fogerty, in the 1980s underwent back surgery, and was given a blood transfusion which was not screened for HIV. This caused him to become infected with the disease and subsequently resulted in his contraction of AIDS alongside his ensuing complications with tuberculosis, all of which eventually led to his death on September 6, 1990
Run Through the Jungle is also about Vietnam, Lookin Out my Back Door and Down on the Corner are just fun songs.
First band I ever saw in concert, I was 15 in 1971. Yes you are right it was the Viet Nam era.
