Matt:

Thanks for the reminder.

Tool is among my all-time favorite bands.

-Jason.

Jason, yeah mate, they certainly are talented musicians, with a unique style.


Speaking of talented musicians, Jim Croce was one of the best, sadly died in a plane crash in 1973.


Jim Croce...Time In A Bottle

And of course some talented musicians don't receive the recognition they deserve, the music business is a tough gig.


Liz Longley...River (Joni Mitchel is a tough act to cover)

Yes Kev, it was mainly about the effects of that war on an Aussie Vet, being released 7 years after the majority of Aussie troops had left Vietnam. Not sure why Khe Sanh is featured as it was a US Marine controlled area, maybe to make the song more attractive to Americans as the band was trying to break into the US market around that time.

The following ballad 'I Was Only Nineteen' by Redgum, which was nearly as popular as 'Khe Sahn', is more relevant to the Australian involvement imo.

Thanks Matt - this song is brilliant.
