"In Vietnam, a guy had Jimi Hendrix on a reel-to-reel, and he played it all the fucking time—“All Along the Watchtower,” “Foxy Lady”—because the burn unit was right there and… the screaming. The guys screaming all the time. He was trying to cover up the sounds. And the smell—the smell from the shit they put on those guys. All the time. But this is a good song. Better than some. He played in Muncie at the fairgrounds before he got famous, before I went to Vietnam."
"Did you see him in Muncie?"
"Yeah."
