This comes to show that 70′s and 80′s rock is much better than the new rap crap music

Question for you – do you ever find yourself looking for paper after taking a dump?

I too associated this song with big drunken mobs and for many years I hated it. But to listen to it, it’s quite poignant and powerful. What these kids went through in Vietnam, and what kind of men they became because of it. From my understanding it’s a road-dog song, about a guy who can’t find peace or answers anywhere, especially back home. In the past 6 months it’s become one of my favourite songs of all time!

Great comment and a very good observation. This song has gone over the head’s of many, many people over the years. They either under estimate the power of the lyrics or they just do not listen in to the story. Quite laughable.

Thank you for the insightful comment.

LOL. The irony of Khe Sanh is lost on bogans of course. Even the very pinnacle of boganhood the Australian Cricket Team celebrate a win with a rousing rendition of a song about a man who can no longer stand to be in Australia

Love the almost empty bottle of Johnny Red and the Coke on the piano, even still, this is one of the anthems of my youth.
