Episode 104: Vietnam War: The Music - There Must Be Some Way Outta Here

I’m Danny Lane, the curator of The Music Museum. This exhibit is called Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service.
Early-on, in Vietnam, soldiers turned to music as a lifeline to the home front they’d promised to defend. Rock & roll (R&R) really became rest & relaxation (R&R) for the troops. It was this music that got you through another day, another day closer to going home. Music was a big part of a soldier’s down time that centered within the hooches of Vietnam. The music that was popular during the Vietnam War was, and is still, therapy. There are songs you can remember, and then there are songs you REALLY remember. Many of these songs will have a special meaning for you. A place, a brother, a time gone by. This program is for you, the Vietnam Vets, who will never forget.
Our goal with Vietnam War: The Music is to honor the fallen and the survivors with the music that got them through “just one more day”. Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. There is no opinion offered on the War. It’s all about the music.
For your service and your sacrifice, this is Vietnam War: The Music.
