This has been stuck in my head for a couple of weeks....It started, a reddit thread about a song that's used in every movie about Vietnam. For good reason, it's of the era and it plainly states the politics of war. And the beat kicks to the rhythm of the chopper blades....
So I looked it up, gave it a relisten, it lead into some good playlists. Fine. And then the daughter sends me a video of her going upriver on a boat in Laos, and the song came back....
Damn, I don't usually like to listen to 'oldies', but there's no getting it out of my head now. No less because "Apocalypse Now" was a great anti-war movie....
