Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty has hit President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign with a cease and desist order after the band’s classic song, “Fortunate Son” was played at the president’s campaign rallies.

“He is using my words and my voice to portray a message that I do not endorse. Therefore, I am issuing a ‘cease and desist’ order,” said Fogerty in a tweet on Friday.

Virtue-signaling, earring-wearing dyed-hair a-hole. IIRC, the other 3 members of CCR, including his brother Tom, kinda hated the guy.

Isn't this getting a bit tiresome already?
If you don't want people to play your song, don't sell it or put it on open license. You can't take the money, live in a great big mansion and then still whine about people playing your songs that they are paying for.

Fogerty is a hardcore leftist and weirdo. Been “rolling on the river” of drugs too much, n’est pas?

Hunter Biden is the Fortunate Son of Joe Biden.

Nobody else could get away with heavy drug use and influence peddling in Ukraine. And then have Daddy Joe Biden threaten Ukraine by withholding U.S. Taxpayer Money as a bribe.

People like Fogerty , typical SSocialibtard mindset , think they are more important than they actually are .
People can think what they want of “hese words” and , btw , he made a lot of money with some little songs in his little life . He should stay at his little place

In 2016 they always played Eye of the Tiger before every rally. I heard it again about a week ago, and think they should bring it back for the rest of the rallies this year.

I like the Village People better for his rallies. Dead gay singers don’t issue cease and desist orders once they have ceased and desisted living. YMCA!!

Really wish the President would not play it. It was a Viet Nam protest song. Guess you gotta be old to know that.

You pay the ASCAP fees, you get the rights.

Although I don’t understand why Trump would use this song—it was pretty much written about his avoidance of Vietnam.

[ It was a Viet Nam protest song.]

True. They did a remixed version by another artist as the opening for the remake of “The Manchurian Candidate” (2004).

It was an intro into 2008 but the Democrats didn’t recognize the Manchurian Candidate of their own making.

Well, Fogerty is using Trump’s name to send out a lame message Trump doesn’t endorse.

“Virtue-signaling, earring-wearing dyed-hair a-hole. IIRC, the other 3 members of CCR, including his brother Tom, kinda hated the guy.”

Tom Fogerty quit the band a year before the other two founding members walked out on John. The brothers barely spoke until just before Tom died in 1990. John still blames Tom for the problems that caused them to stop speaking.

When CCR was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame John refused to perform with Stu and Doug, instead playing CCR songs with Bruce Springsteen and other stars.
That was particularly hard on Tom’s widow who had brought his ashes to the event expecting some recognition for him. Instead it was turned into the John Fogerty show.
The other two founding members, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, to this day state they will never again work with John.

Over the years John has sued anyone and everyone who has used CCR songs in ads, always losing.
A class A asshole through and through.
