This song reminds me of 5th grade. I had a teacher who was the quintessential “nerd” but he introduced our class to this song. I’d never heard it before or even since then, but I will never forget this song.
I first heard this song when hanging out where draft dodgers had set up camp in the Santa Monica Mountains. Their girl friends brought them food and drinks, and the place became both a party place and a wine hole fore the winos. A place called "Twin Poles," a place in Topanga Canyon where partiers jumped off a rock ten or more feet above a pool, and land in the water. Another song from this album I heard down at the Poles was, "Coming Into Los Angeles," by Arlo Guthrie.
"Plenty of money to be made, supplying the army with the tools of the trade". And ludicrously overpriced toilets, screws, and everything else that voters can't object to because it's "for defense". And then Cheney's company caters for the army because it's better the money goes to Halliburton than to soldiers who used to do the cooking, or maybe to education.

I asked Chat GPT for "I want the songs that aren't 'mainstream' during the Vietnam war. Here I am, READY TO GO BROTHER This was sparked by rewatching "Good Morning Vietnam" If YOU haven't seen that movie, stop everything you are doing and search. It's FREE on youtube as of RIGHT NOW 8-4-2024
Arlo was one of my late father’s favourite musicians. My dad also rode motorcycles. He would take me and my sister for rides on the back of his bike. He introduced us to this song when we were little kids, in the late seventies. We both got our love of motorcycles and Arlo from our dad. This song and the story make me laugh every time!
