It must have been hard for the sons of Senators and millionaires to resist moving along to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s rocking “Fortunate Son.” The 1969 protest song highlighted the hypocrisy of the privileged class, whose so-called patriotism cost others their lives: “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.”
