John Fogerty is outraged President Trump is playing one of his very personal songs at campaign rallies, because the song actually takes aim at people like him.

is playing one of his very personal songs at campaign rallies, because the song actually takes aim at people like him.

Fogerty says he's issuing a cease and desist order ... demanding that Trump and co. refrain from playing Creedence Clearwater Revival's massive hit,"Fortunate Son."it's personal ..."I wrote this song because, as a veteran, I was disgusted that some people were allowed to be excluded from serving our country because they had access to political and financial privilege. I also wrote about wealthy people not playing their fair share of taxes.

John made it clear, he doesn't endorse DT. There have been other attempts to get Trump to stop playing other songs at his rallies, but the law allows it. Still, the artists can voice their displeasure.

Vote BidenHarris2020

Great song. Good for him.

What would war have done to his mind tho? They did that because he was raised and trained to run a budget for a large number of people. I get it tho. All respect to our veterans ❤️ God bless, for real

glad he let DNC use this one

Huh ....... I thought he was gone?

Does the guy on the left have aids?! I’m pretty sure he was on 2 and a half men

I really dont think the left gets it! Now Trump and all his supporters will be playing it louder and more often...

These musicians must hate they can’t actually stop him since they probably don’t own the licensing.

Anti- christ yeah

PINK1963DSW He did the same thing back in 2016. Has he paid the copyrights he owes yet? Doubtful. Donny the welcher!

Saw them perform in the early '90's and Didn't even know John Fogarty was still alive. Trump brings back old Rockers like he did manufacturing..

Trump is broke as a joke .....Con Artist of the year 🥳

trump's attitude is he does as he pleases and you can sue him and he'll keep it tied up in courts forever. That is what he THINKS he is going to do with this election! NOPE!

Who is this dude...? You should be glad someone knows who you are and playing your music. petty

LMFAO! Like he gaf!!

Please sue him. That’s like the cops jamming out to Fuck The Police.

He should be thankful. Know one has played his crappy music in years!

He wants none of that smoke😭

If I am not mistaken he signed all of his rights away to the record label so I dont know if he has a say in it.

You tell em John

Forget the lawyers. Insult his whole family on Twitter.

Does that asshole even own the rights to the song?

Demands? Sue that crazy bitch.

John, it’s the only time anyone is listening to your music anymore. Thank the president!!

Yawn.

These stories need to explain the legalities of playing the song, not just the complaint. Tell why campaigns are able to use the music.

Is it John or his wax statue making the request?

Seems like more of a Hunter Biden song anyways

The irony is that trump has no understanding of the lyrics lol

Unless they get paid

Hey TMZ, have you heard about child porn on someone’s laptop? You should check into that.

Sure Trump!

Why? He will probably make $$$.

Where's Hunter?

Lmao

Song sucks anyway.

Good.

How petty

Donald Trump is our President and can play any song he damn pleases .

Guess he'll have to return to macho man.

At this point he's lucky anyone's playing his songs.

Can’t tell him what he can and Cannot play

I agree! Everyone should stop playing John Fogerty and CCR....period!

Wtf cares...he a washed up singer anyway

And who the hell is he?

White supremacy but not for long.

CCR demanding Fogerty stop speaking on their behalf will really bring this story full 2020

Who cares what all these washed up celebs want !

What a scum

Thought it said fortnite 😂

Fogerty trying to get some attention, just county your money John.

🖕🏻

Really nobody cares! Next...

Lmao nobody wants to even be slightly associated with this clown 🤡

Years ago, I had a really cool video up on YouTube and used a few snippets of a John Fogerty song in it (I even credited him). Hardly anyone viewed my video, but his people made me take it down. Haven't liked him since.

Pretty sure he can only play kid rock by now

John Fogerty or Ellen Degeneres? Looks like a big ball of estrogen! Get on some TRT, John. You're a real mess!

'-Some of you rappers wont make it to Christmas -we yo target man no wonder u miss us -Middle of summer a givin em shivers !!' Kindly share 🙏❤ Yo support is highly appreciated Letsss gett'itt !

It’s actually brilliantly ironic that Trump plays that song, considering it’s about how the working class are the ones who are sacrificed and shipped off to Vietnam in the draft while sons of rich people get to dodge it. It’s almost biographical.

This shit happens to the Republican every election. Take us to court.

Shut up John

John Fogerty Sends Cease and Desist to Trump Campaign Over Use of 'Fortunate Son' at Rallies“The fact that Mr. Trump fans the flames of hatred, racism and fear while rewriting recent history, is even more reason to be troubled by his use of my song,” the singer wrote in a Twee… 💿💿💿 I think he should just let him play it. I mean, Trump and his campaign are so inept they don't even realize the song is about him! Hilarious to see him associated with this song. Fantastic!
