I talked to my Dad today, as it's his birthday. Our birthdays are 4 days apart and we typically call each other and shoot the shit. We talked about his Navy days, being out in Oakland in 1967 and driving to San Francisco for the Monterey Pop Festival. They just don't do concerts like they used to do.

1973 The end of AFVN
AFVN stopped broadcasting in March 1973. The assetts we taken over by a civilian group that continued to operate until days before the fall of Saigon in May 1975,
This closing chapter is about 2 songs I didn't write about.
Throughout my little history lesson I've left out what are proably the best known anti-war songs of the Vietnam era because I thought they deserved a little history of their own.
P.F. Sloan wrote Eve Of Destruction in early May 1965. It was first offered to the Byrds who turned it down and then the Turtles who recorded for their July 1965 album It Ain't Me Babe.
The same week that was released Sloan was in the Studio with The Wrecking Crew backing Barry McGuire's version. The session was scheduled for 2 days. After the first day a full live take had been completed with a finished vocal track and overdubs to be done 5 days later. However, somebody in the studio leaked the demo version to a local DJ and the rest is history with the finished version never done.
In April 1965 a month before all of the above stared another songwriter finished his anti-war parody song and was looking to record it. The Bay area underground magazine Rag Baby decided to put out a "talking" edition and selected 2 of Joe McDonalds songs on the 3 song EP Rag Baby Talking Edition released in October 1965 included the first version of I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag.
This would be re-released on Country Joe And The Fish 2nd album along with the Fish cheer in October 1967.
The song became an anthem of the Anti-war movement on campuses across the country even though the group was banned from all 3 TV networks in 1968. It also explains why so many already knew the words at Woodstock in 1969.

Link Wray's "Rumble". Supposedly the only instrumental to ever be banned from American terrestrial radio (due to fear that it incited violence).
Nice little breakdown/reaction by Jimmy Page:
