John "Ain't No Fortunate Son"Fogerty nails the idiot on new album
Man, is John Fogerty P.O.'d. A new song that just leaps off his upcoming solo CD Revival has him screaming in full-throttle classic Fogerty mode: "I Can't Take It No More." His target? No surprise. Bush and his war. It's running at about 90 mph, and the sound is closer to the Sex Pistols than to Creedence Clearwater Revival, although it does reprise his earlier "Fortunate Son." But, man, does it ever get your attention.

He also goes after the Bush gang in "Long Dark Night," but "I Can't Take It No More" is just a killer cut. After three listenings, I'm completely enthralled by this whole album. Twelve new songs, some gutsy Fogerty vocals and some sparkling guitar work. At age 62, he's never sounded better. Revival is due on Oct. 2.

1. I'd like to hear this song... there is one playing in Europe right now
by Pink w/Indigo Girls (I am not sure if this is new or what, but I heard it for the first time last week) And she's P.O.d at the asshat too.

PINK LYRICS

"Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

2. Pink
That song is about a year or two old and has been all over the internet as well as performed several times and I agree it is a fantastic song and seems to be gaining in popularity

5. recommending-why should Bruce get all the fanfare?
Buy this album!!!

Sean hannity once tried to use f.s. as an ad for his show, cutting the song off just after the word "flag"

apparently republicans can't listen to all of a song's lyrics
