I was a new guy at SEAL Team 2 in 1980.
Bad Moon Rising made the Vietnam SEALs nostalgic when it came on the radio.
They said it was one of the songs they played in “Nam” while loading magazines and getting weapons and gear ready for going out to mess up somebody’s night.
Ever since, they always associated it with getting ready to go out on a combat patrol in enemy territory.
You are exactly right AKA Travis McGee. Just saw your home page.
CCR was the cat’s meow for those of who served in Nam. Met some of your brothers in Cam Rahn Bay.
