SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Does the Moron in Chief know the meaning of that song? Donald Trump got off Air Force One on Thursday to Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son," a song about children of influential families who were able to avoid the Vietnam War draft. Creedence Lyrics: Fortunate Son 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", Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no, Edited September 11, 2020 by SlimShady'sSpaceForce 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saddest part is that the people that he seems to hate the most are the ones who support him most ardently. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) So we have gotten that critical of the guy that we really attempt to denounce his choice of entrance music? A song he literally didnt choose, and maybe had paid very little attention to his entire life? Not everyone spends time diving head first into the meaning of song lyrics. Especially those written by a band who sued their own lead singer! Those capitalist jerks!

Like all those dopey celebrities sending the healing gift of song by collaborating on "Imagine", a song about living with no possessions, recorded on a $1200 device that allows them to order a $12 half-caf-half-dark latte from the local Starbucks, to be picked up after a short drive down the Pacific Coast highway in a $272,000 gas-munchin lambo. Kudos to @SlimShady'sSpaceForceon this find. Somebody's head should roll on this one. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actual Nazis want to use them , as long as the fees are paid, OK. His staff picks the songs as to get the lefty snowflakes all riled up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking generally, the music can be used through licensing agreements that the artist agrees to. What we often see is the artist who entered into said agreement raising an objection because they do not support the candidate. There is no theft involved. https://ew.com/music/2018/11/05/can-musicians-stop-politicians-from-using-music/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's simply not the case. I understand the argument about an artist preferring their music not be used to support a political campaign, but they actively engage in the licensing because it makes them money. There's no need to pretend it's something that it isn't. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
