Creedence Clearwater Revival's song Fortunate Son was inspired by the marriage of David Eisenhower, the grandson of President D.D. Eisenhower who married Julie Nixon, the daughter of President Nixon.
Guitarist and lead singer John Fogerty told Rolling Stone:
Julie Nixon was hanging around with David Eisenhower, and you just had the feeling that none of these people were going to be involved with the war. In 1969, the majority of the country thought morale was great among the troops, and like eighty percent of them were in favor of the war. But to some of us who were watching closely, we just knew we were headed for trouble.
