“Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival isn’t just a rock song—it’s a protest anthem that defined an era. Released in 1969 during the Vietnam War, it’s a fiery call-out of class privilege and hypocrisy, with John Fogerty’s raspy vocals cutting through like a battle cry. The song rails against how the rich and powerful dodged the draft while working-class kids were sent to fight. Its raw guitar riffs, pounding drums, and relentless energy captured the frustration of a generation demanding fairness. Over five decades later, “Fortunate Son” still shows up in movies, commercials, and protests—proof that its message hasn’t lost a single spark. It’s the sound of rebellion wrapped in three minutes of pure rock fury, and it continues to speak truth to power louder than ever.
