@LouderVol if not mistaken this is what you were saying....


“Fortunate Son” was recently heard at a military parade held by President Trump, despite Fogerty publicly asking him not to use the song during his 2020 campaign. The rocker said he only caught “a few seconds of it” while flipping through TV channels.

“I thought it was strange — thought it would be something that someone would be wary of,” Fogerty admitted, referring to the fact that the song is about a privileged person avoiding serving in the military. “I thought to myself: Do you think somebody did it on purpose? Are they doing it as some weird kind of performance art? I might be giving too much credit to the thought that went into it.”

Wasnt my intention although I personally don't care thats why I used my thread, but I just thought I'd share that in case you hadn't seen it.

Besides the use of it, I love the song. I like Bob Segers version too.

Heck, plenty of teams would play Born in the USA while honoring military personnel. It was cringe every time I saw it live...

I made a comment on my Grizzlies season ticket survey to stop playing that song when honoring veterans. I was like playing an anti war song to celebrate vets is extremely disrespectful. They finally stopped playing it a couple years back.

I get it but I'm almost embarrassed to say I don't pay much attention to stuff like that....most of the time.

When its brought up in discussions I form my own opinion but first I lol at myself for not noticing in the first place. Lol.
