This week's show was a (somewhat) logical progression from last week's show. The music was a combination of bands and songs referenced by Michael Herr in his Vietnam War memoir, Dispatches, as well as some other Vietnam War related songs--so I went from the early sixties one week to the late sixties in the next.
I also read from Dispatches, which is a really incredible book. I hope I was able to convey that on the radio (although it's possible no one was listening, what with it being Thanksgiving this weekend).
