With the exceptions of Elvis Presley who served as an armor crewman in the 1/32 Armor (Patton tanks) and Jimi Hendrix who served in the 101st Abn Div. the vast majority of rock 'n roll music players were simply against the draft (they themselves didn't want to serve their country-Ted Nugent even admits his intentional failing of the US Military physical).
Their feelings are reflected in their music. Albeit it is against the "war" and not "their personal" fear of being drafted.
