It's simple, we find songs that have historical context within the lyrics and then dissect those lyrics on the show. Whether it's a song about a ship that sank in the Great Lakes or an ancient folk song about Mongolian sky gods, we will explore it's historical context. But more importantly, we will dig into what the songwriter was trying to communicate and why.

Episode 20: Fortunate Son (Scott, Sean, & Bro. Felix)

In celebration of our 20th episode we are discussing Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son from 1969. Bro. Felix joins us for a stimulating conversation on the Vietnam War, the Draft, David Eisenhower, John McCain, and all things Fogerty. Were you born with star spangled eyes anon? Your country's military-industrial complex plays Hail to the Chief and points the cannon at you, wyd?
