It's not a Pogues song you peasant. Brandan 'Borstal Boy' Behan wrote it and The Dubliners did it first.

Who cares? Maudlin music for pissy-eyed wife beaters.

Is that The Pogues or Cat Power? Or everything on Pitchfork?

The Creedence song is actually called Fortunate Son. Cat Power played it during her last London dates.

"Fortunate son" isn't hers to cover. Nor is it mine, for the record. She's had every advantage possible in the record industry. Without her parents and associated contacts she could well be begging on the sidewalk somewhere. I like a lot of her stuff but wont seek this out.. get real Chan!
