GUEST,BlueJay What are the best Vietnam era songs? (80* d) RE: What are the best Vietnam era songs? 02 Feb 00


I'm so glad Susan A-R brought up the THE MOST MOVING song of the Vietnam era, Steve Goodman's The Ballad of Penney Evans. I've had a few folks in tears at their first hearing of that great song. Please find it if you haven't heard it, keeping in mind that I am an ardent Goodman fan, who intends to write the State of Illinois to change their State Motto to the "Land of Goodman". Kate Wolf also wrote a song about agent orange, (I don't have it, and don't recall the title), in much the same style as "Penney Evans". I always thought it was an answer to the Goodman song.
