Some blasts from the past:

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

CCR "Willie & The Poor Boys" 1969



Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.

I support the left, tho' I'm leanin', leanin' to the right
I support the left, tho' I'm leanin' to the right
But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight.

Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

Fortunate Son...one of my favorite songs. The "band" that I play in plays it starting slow...almost country, then we whip it into shape the way CCR did it and at the end pause a couple of seconds and thrash it out Anthrax style with an extra chorus!

CCR was before my time. But I think this is a pretty cool song none the less. It really love to hear it DMV style.


Mmmmmmmmmmmm Anthrax.

Do any of You remember seeing John Fogherty perform that for The Pres. during the millenium celebrations? Blew Me away considering the days when I first heard it.

I got emailed an updated "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag" I'll have to post sometime. The irony is fairly pointed.

while Fortunate Son is a great song, and I loved Pearl Jam's rendition of it on their 03 tour, I just can't get into CCR, and what they did to John Fogerty is shameful and shows their true colors....the green of money
