afraid to put boots on the ground Of course not

dont have kids or grand kids in the service look up the make up of the Infantry in the service Blacks and Latinos
Nam taught me well day to day livin
still live that way today even though been
some 55 years

Charles2 says: My father did one year in Nam. i did not. As an army brat, enraptured in my cocoon of fantasy. i theorized soldiering being around army bases all my early life, i was proud of what my dad did even though i knew something was off between blacks and whites. knowing we were treated ill, and nothing we did could fix it. Too young to fully understand i idolized heroes, although with a vivid imagination deep down i knew death and disability were part of the bid. worse yet, war was ultimately run by politicians-who didn't know . Marvin Gay said it better in my book. Jimi Hendrix caught the ambiance. Any way you cut the cake, WAR IS HELL! |

RainAm like Rick James when it comes to rain Im just a sucker for your love That surround sound that get down rain that pit pat sound against the window pane Such a quaint serenity when I hear the rain Got this thing called PTSD it wont let me sleep never believed that stuff bout countin sheep but when it rain I fight the sleep long as I can just to listen to that sweet melody Every time rain will win ease on into a peaceful sleep
There r many many songs about the rain this is an interesting one I saw him in Columbia SC 1984 get this 35 dollar ticket to see him Jimmy Castor Bunch Jeffery Osborne and Anita Baker the main attraction The song is titled In the rain by Orange Juice Jones one hit wonder |
