I Remember That

Once upon a time there were several wars. The War on Drugs, the Cold War and the war on cavities, clean kitchens and whiter laundry. There was also the Vietnam War. For episode 18 of our oldies program ‘I Remember That’ we spin a couple hours of Top 40 radio tunes from the tail end of the Vietnam era. Put in your TV dinner because it’s time to rock and listen for the monthly test of the air raid siren.
