Recently I attended a John Fogerty concert. Willie Nelson opened. Great concert!
Fogerty played the title song from his 2004 album, "Deja vu All Over Again" while showing images of the Viet Nam War Memorial (the Wall) and other related images on the big screens around the venue. It was very moving and imo one of the highlights of the show. Of course, there were many.
I wanted to share the words with you.
Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over againDay by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep scoreDid you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over againOne by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Momma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no endDid you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at The Wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've seen this all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
It's like Deja Vu all over againgg

When I say "John Prine" a few months ago, his song Sam Stone affected me. It's an old song about what happens when soldiers come home. I knew it would be emotional to listen to in a live setting when I arranged to attend the concert, but I'm glad I went.
John Fogerty and John Prine are among the few rock guys of their generation who served in the armed forces (Fogerty in the reserves)

Music is such a wonderfully emotional experience. Lots of different ways.

GG I'm glad I didn't hear it I'm just now trying to deal with my Son losing his eyesight in Desert Storm and two fingertips. He's a wonderful person and no PTSD for him. He's working with the Veterans. I'm the one with the problem. I try and stuff things and it is hauting me now. Love phillipa
