John Fogerty has directed President Donald Trump to stop using his song"Fortunate Son," by issuing him a cease-and-desist order.
The founder of the rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival posted his directive in a statement on his Twitter account Friday. "I object to the President using my song, 'Fortunate Son' in any way for his campaign. He is using my words and my voice to portray a message that I do not endorse," the singer said. pic.twitter.com/XFCwiOadr2
— John Fogerty October 16, 2020 "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 paying their fair share of taxes." Fogerty goes on to explain that Trump falls into both of these categories. Read More"The fact that Mr.

Good news is Biden is allowed to continue playing 'Bad Moon Rising' at his rallies
I’m no longer a fan of John Fogerty.👎🏻
Why doesn’t someone issue a cease and desist on Trump!!?🤡
Boomer
You don't know God
Btt the election gets over they will b singing nursery rhymes with the number of bands asking them not to use their songs 🤣🤣🤣
Even the good ones get old and senile
Musicians generally have a global income, which is incompatible with the American love principle.
This just in from the “They still don’t listen to the lyrics” department 🙄🙄🙄
trumpdraftdodger TrumpLies Service Matters
THANK YOU I’M A BIG FAN BUT WAS THINKING 😬
And?
Lastmedic 😂😂🤣🤣 only a few more rally’s to go
Good for John Fogerty! Trump has a lot of nerve! I’m glad John called him on it!!!
I'd say sue Trump but you wouldn't get paid in money only empty promises and court orders.
Does anyone care? You guys are the worst.
What a silly guy... CCR already long time finished... now trying to get some attention
Oh, just let me throw up now.
And yet another artist. Yes artist to all you rappers. This is music. Not your shit. Anyway. Another artist who doesn't want their music associated with Trump.
Lmaooooo
Idiot...
It was played last night at Florida rally....again. They don't care.
Adele, Aerosmith,The Beatles,Bruce Springsteen,CCR,Eddy Grant,GNR’S,Elton John,Leonard Cohen,Linkin Park,Luciano Pavarotti,Neil Young,Nickelback,Panic! at the Disco,Pharrell Williams,Phil Collins,Prince, Queen,R.E.M,Rihanna,The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, aaand the Village People
They should make a new version of jail house rock up for him?
Celebrities do more harm to Biden than good!
Everything you guys tweet about is against Trump. Lol propaganda ugh
PattyArquette It’s a pattern of him using songs and comments for his own benefit even when used out of context and without permission. May transparency and honesty prevail this NOV3RD over his criminal behavior and darkness.
We don’t believe you anymore CNN!
Dem supporters are absolutely crazy 😝
No one cares John. Get over yourself.
How many artist have had to do this?
We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around
Clearly POTUS has no idea what this song is about!
They never seem to read the lyrics! This song is a critique of them!!!
It is beyond comprehension that realDonaldTrump would use the song fortunateson because it is literally about being a rich asshole who skipped the draft... just like CadetBoneSpurs But then again 45 is a complete fucking moron so not surprised TrumpIsALoser BidenHarris2020
Well realDonaldTrump got 50Cent he can pick one, like that one, that goes like 'I don't know what you heard about me' 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It should be a surprise that trump uses a song literally vilifying himself. But it’s not.
This is one way to get streams up. Unsure people going and listening to the song. Nice. “Nothing happens until someone sells something. “
Hope he moves to Canada after Trump gets re-elected.

kathymahar One of my Favourite Bands and I'm very Happy he did this, Trump needs to keep robbing songs from Artist's.
CNN's job description is to promote hatred and division. You are past the feeling of shame because you are souless and have lost what is meant to be human.
PattyArquette Way to stand up to the man, LOL and align yourself with corporate America, and the entire Left entertainment business. What a brave rebel you are Jon. Good grief what a sell out. So brave, NOT
Meh , Fake News !
These privileged entertainers and your press on them turn Americans off. Your helping the red wave!!
I’m sure there are other songs on the playlist.
somebody send this left whiner some crying towels
The irony and audacity of realDonaldTrump using Fortunate Son is outstanding. He is the most privileged man who never had to work a day in his life. Everything was handed to him by Mommy and Daddy and even then he messed it up. He also has bone spurs so he didn't go to Vietnam.
trump thinks nothing of taking and using what’s not his. He knows this is wrong. He’s been down this road many times. He doesn’t care.
Perhaps it would be easier (and quicker) to compile a list of those artists that would allow their music to represent this horrible person.
If I can play his song Trump can
Let him use it. It shows what an idiot he is not knowing the lyrics are mocking people like him.
Ok, does that mean everybody who likes Trump?
What an asshole never like that song anyway...
Love me some CCR and John Fogerty.
Trump should stick to crappy ass racist Ted Nugent songs
PattyArquette Please help! Please retweet/share! 8-months-old baby Joshua is battling acute lymphocytic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. His life is dependent on chemotherapy & a stem cell transplant. Help Joshua's family in offsetting the cost of his treatment here:
then repay all usage fees payed
Phil Collins has issued C/D as well for 'In the Air', which always seemed an odd choice for an administration in the midst of an air-borne pandemic. Although I think 'Land of Confusion' would be perfect. And Rudy Giuliani might consider, if he ever runs again, 'Invisible Touch'.
Guys don’t worry. They have the Village People.
Poor baby
Bravo
Truly sad country. No doubt the Left has been attacking him non-stop.......😱 God Bless America Trump2020 WalkAway
PattyArquette Trump doesn't value law and order when it comes to copyright violations. Or else he's a communist and thinks the music belongs to everybody.
Everyone knows he is going to ignore it as he does on everybody else's songs that will tell him not to use it. Why not play music from Big Rich and other artists that will be more than glad to let him use their music? Wouldn't that be easy to do?
Ol news cnn just keep being biased just like fox
❤️
PattyArquette I fail to understand why Trump hasn't opted for the far more apt Christian Break Dance song.
Awesome.
🙄
PattyArquette Bravo, John!!!
Boomer gonna cry? We can't get these guys out of here fast enough.
This is pure irony, but if Melania came out to kanye's gold digger that would be so good
NYCEDUC John Fogerty gives Trump a cease-and-desist today and the voters will do the same on Nov 3rd
That’s makes it even more sweeter when he plays it from now on. 😂😂
I DONT LIKE YOUR MUSIC AT ALL 😈
How many times is Trumps team going to use songs that the artists don't want to be associated with Trump.
He owns legal rights to his song but he can't tell anybody to stop playing it for entertainment reasons...get a clue!!
Trump now only can use “happy birthday” song and nothing else.
Does the trump campaign ever consider getting permission to use music? For real, man, are they that f ing stupid?

It's amazing that he uses this song, because he is exactly that, born with a silver spoon in his hand, as are his children. I think he didn't understand the lyrics
YOU'LL LOSE FANS, STREAMS AND SALES LIKE THAT.... THIS IS PROOF THAT THE WAY THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS DIRECTED THE POLITICAL NARRATIVE WHICH IS ONE THATS TOXIC WHERE SOMEONE IS DENYING MILLIONS OF FANS BECAUSE OF TOXIC POLITICS.
Why do musicians dislike Trump so much?! I mean 50% of America is with him, right? So, isn't there any star musicians among those agreeable 50%? (Apart from Kanye West whom even Trump doesn't trust to ask him to perform in his inaugurations!)
He’s so vain (and dumb), he has no idea the song is about him.
realDonaldTrump You can always use this song. I think it would work and I am sure he will be ok with it
But it's his theme song.
Can we do a cease on CNN with all the bull crap they spew ?
There is a long list who had to cease and desist. Prince Estate, Adele, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses, Elton John, too many to mention.
Who cares anyway he was always shitty drummer anyway🤮
Trump is out in force.
His letter should remind Trump that the use of the song is a complete self-own.
I KNEW John Fogarty was a man with good sense‼️Been a Fogarty fan for a long time❣️Good to see him pop up here and good to see he’s making the good choices ❣️
