John Fogerty speaks out on “Concert For Valor” controversy
Written by admin on November 13, 2014 – 4:24 pm -John Fogerty has had his say on the controversy sparked by Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl and Zac Brown’s performance of “Fortunate Son” at Tuesday night’s “Concert for Valor” in Washington, D.C.
The performance ended Brown’s set and was one of the musical highlights of the night, but the decision to sing the counter-culture classic received a mixed response on social media, with some asserting that the lyrics were inappropriate for a night dedicated to veterans. It should be obvious that no one involved meant the performance as a slight to veterans, but some clearly didn’t see it that way.
