c) Fortunate Son

“Fortunate Son,” a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1969, became synonymous with anti-Vietnam War sentiment. Its lyrics, written by John Fogerty, express criticism of the war and the social inequalities associated with the military draft. The song resonated with a generation disillusioned by the war and the political climate of the time. “Fortunate Son’s” raw energy and pointed lyrics made it an anthem for the anti-war movement and a symbol of the counterculture era. The song’s enduring popularity is a testament to its powerful message and its ability to capture the zeitgeist of the late 1960s. “Fortunate Son” remains relevant today, often used in films, television, and other media to evoke the Vietnam War era and its associated social and political issues.
