This man is amazing and still going strong at 70+ - fantastic.
He makes my guitar playing sound c-r-a-p.

Great song and performance. Thanks to Webb for writing it. To me it doesn't matter what Webb wrote it about, it was adopted by the grunts in Nam and for them it was about the Nam.

Webb admitted in interviews that he didn't have the Vietnam War in mind when he wrote the song, as he imagined it taking place during a battle of the Spanish-American War,[1] the time period when the City of Galveston reached its civic peak. However, it was widely perceived as a protest song[citation needed], which is also underlined in the original promo video as Campbell is dressed up in a military outfit

The writer Jimmy Webb had it set during the Spanish American War.
