"Rooster" is a song Jerry Cantrell wrote, dedicated to his own father. The song is about his father's survival of his tour in Vietnam. Jerry's father's nickname in Vietnam was Rooster.

Yeah if you look in the dirt liner notes Jerry thanks Jerry Cantrell senior and in brackets calls him "the Rooster"

Yes. It was about his dad surviving in the Vietnamanese War. The Vietnamanese had never seen and eagle (Screaming Eagles Division) so they called them roosters.

I heard that Jerry's dad was called rooster as a kid because his hair stuck up, like a rooster. Jerry said that in an interview once.
