02/16/2006 | An absolutely brilliant tune from the 1971 debut of a Midwestern guy who has been rather unfairly overshadowed by Dylan, Springsteen, and songwriters of that ilk... It is about all of the horrors- poverty, confusion, and drug abuse, among others, that confront a Vietnam Veteran. It's one of those songs that, although it's not all that lyrically complex, it tells it like it is. I had an uncle who died in '97 that was in the service, and whose life was pretty similar to this, and although it's great, it's a hard tune for me to hear to be frank.
