John Fogerty ‘Baffled’ at President Trump’s Music Choice | Entertainment

entertainment">Trump used the classic in a movie for his presidential campaign. The now 75-year-old Fogerty can hardly comprehend that. He wrote Fortunate Son in 1969 as a protest against wealthy people who used their power to avoid serving in the military during the Vietnam War.

entertainment">“It’s a song that I could have written now,” says Fogerty. “I find it amazing that the president has chosen to use my song for his political meetings, when it seems that he is the ‘Fortunate Son’.”

Long list

entertainment">Fogerty quotes the events in Lafayette Park. In June, Trump had that park swept clean by soldiers so that he could be photographed with the Bible in his hand at the church in the park.

entertainment">With his criticism, the CCR frontman joins a long list of musicians who do not want Trump to use their music. Late Tom Petty, Neil Young, R.E.M., Rihanna, Pharrell, Guns N ‘Roses in Steven Tyler preceded him
