Is there a cloud coming?
I received my first comment!! thank you words, wine, coffee,and art! i wish i had the writing abilities that they have. keep on blogging. i took writing classes in college and look i write like a boring person who complains! my use of words has to become more detailed. i remember i wrote a report in college for my writing class about : war and music...i wrote about the impact Vietnam had on the music of that generation. i never got to see what my professor thought of the report but i received a A for the class. i still wish i could of gotten her insight on the report. I personally think my work was thought out and written very insightful. what did my professor think, my opinion and hers were never the same. I did come to the conclusion that many of the rock and rollers of that generation were impacted by the war. some of whom did fight in the war...while sitting quietly waiting in the brush they thought about the war around them and to keep sane wrote about the experience, in letters or a song(for those who loved music). you cant forget the musicians who wrote music reflecting the war by writing music about peace. Vietnam was a horrible war that shouldn't have taken place. i said it before horrible things happen to all of us but, then one day your floating on that cloud. Credence clearwater revival is my favorite band of that generation, John Fogerty the lead singer served 2 tours of Vietnam and his music reflects. John fogerty wrote alot of music during his time in the war. john fogerty is a great example of war impacting music. please don't get me wrong i am not a person who approves of war. my country is in war right now and i have 4 cousins serving our country. i am proud of each of them, i just don't want to lose any of them. war can change a family....is a cloud coming.
