I ran into her in Redondo Beach, Calif., when I was running on the strand. She was walking about and I asked her if she was the Kate in Haysi Fantaysi and she smiled and said yes. She was great and spent about five minutes talking. She asked if I knew a good place to eat and I said go on the pier. Very nice.
It’s a page turner. Lots of shooting and stories of the event. Maps, testimonies, problems with the M-16 rifle, lots of action with the Navy Corpsmen, undermanned and the list goes on and on. 157 Marines killed and 600 NVA killed in such a short time. The whole operation was only 11 days. Worth reading and should be required reading for the military.
The contractors are just as corrupt as the government. All promotions go by cronyism, managers lie about their subordinates and retaliate if an engineer points out a reliability issue. Or if the subordinate is more intelligent or knowledgeable. The appointed "experts" in every discipline (friend of the manager who appointed him) would fail the job interview for an average (non-expert) job at commercial companies. Real experts are never promoted to official expert positions. It is not the company that retaliates, rather the low-level manager does to protect his own career, to cover up his own incompetence. Most managers lie (about subordinates) cheat and steal to get promoted. Most groups and departments at all contractor companies are like that. After the first one or two you might assume you run into a bad apple, but after a half dozen of them, it is a clear pattern. This level of lying/fraud is extremely rare at the non-gov contracting tech companies, and standard operation at the gov-contractor companies. All other managers look the other way. This comes from the backwards feudalistic culture, basically the majority of the people (managers and non-managers) believe the manager has the right to lie about his subordinates whenever he pleases to do so. Outside of gov contracting, if people find out one manager lied about his underdog, that would be the end of his career. But at near-government companies there are zero consequences. They might even brag about it. OF course, this destroys meritocracy and product quality. So, the military gets lower quality gear than the cheap stuff ordered from China on eBay.
I believe this got many more views on my Revenge of the 80s Radio interviews channel. This channel is just where ai put videos; I promote the other channels more often
I like how their music was full sounding, fun, and the lyrics had a dark twist or two. The Coconuts were gorgeous, syncopated, and a had a bit of snark towards the Kid. The trombone solo at the beginning of "Don't Take my Coconuts" is a favorite of mine.

As an American I can say we knew SB for more that just True and Gold. Round and Round and Only When You Leave got plenty of airplay on both radio and MTV. The Billboard charts don't always tell the full story.
