Wow, Jack. The Ballad of the Green Berets. When that came out, my big brother was in Vietnam jumping out of planes. I have the 45 and I listened to it obsessively, hoping my brother wouldn’t die. Sorry for the darkness.
Wow right back; that’s a powerful memory. One of the many things I love about music.
Soldier Girl brings back a very recent, sadly pathetic, somewhat humorous, i should have been high moment, memory.
When i first obsessively looked down to the # of responses section and glanced at xtc, immediate thought was sgt.rock, but generals and majors is better, more accessible to the sheeple we want to connect with
Oh, sorryGAliL, so selfish of me. Tsioundz like terrribleé worries on yourbrother.
