Hamburger Hill / Dylan
CurrentOccupant_dudley
Movie Channel) the other day.
I cdn't watch all the way thru as i had to get some sleep before i
travelled.
The soundtrack listing on imdb.com has SHB.
Has anybody seen the entire film? I didn't hear bob's version but did
hear a Troop from the 101st Airborne recite most of the first verse.
Also in this film is dialogue (memorable quotes at imdb): "It don't
mean nothing, man. Not a thing."
Of course all Real Bob Fans will recognise this from Johnny's "Drive
On"

I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
He said is my country just a little off track
Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back
But, it's better than not coming back at all
Many a good man
I saw fall And even now,
Every time I dream I hear the men
And the monkeys in the jungle scream
Drive on, don't mean nothin'
My children love me , but they don't understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on

Johnny: "June and I read all these novels, these books, about Vietnam,
you know, about the war. . ."
The best book I ever read about Vietnam was recommended to me by a guy
I knew who'd done a tour of duty over there, and he said this book
came closer to the reality of it than anything he'd ever read:
"Dispatches" by Michael Herr.
From Wikipedia: "Several of the soldiers mentioned in the book were
used as the basis for characters in the movies Apocalypse Now and Full
Metal Jacket. Herr served as a writer on both films and was nominated
for an Oscar for the latter. The helicopter gunner scene from Full
Metal Jacket is taken directly from Dispatches."
A quote from Publisher's Weekly at Amazon: "American correspondent
Herr's documentary recalls the heavy combat he witnessed in Vietnam as
well as the obscene speech, private fears and nightmares of the
soldiers. "Herr captures the almost hallucinatory madness of the war,"
said PW. "This is a compelling, truth-telling book with a visceral
impact, its images stuck in the mind like shards from a pineapple
bomb."

Personally, I wouldn't have killed the dog.

There's some sort of circular aesthetic at work here that is both very
disturbing and quite beautiful.
Life as art.
Sorry about the dog.

Thanks for the recommendation, Janice. I've been to my local public
library, and i'll start reading "Dispatches" soon as i finish Willa
Cather's "Death Comes for the Archbishop".
Sometime this week.
May peace prevail on earth,
