Comment:

Side two begins with Col. Kurtz saying "There is nothing I hate more than the stench of lies" and then it cuts into "Thieves and liars!" ... and of course the tape ends with Kurtz's final words, "the horror... the horror..." Elvis is on there as a sick napalm joke. I was in college and we were re-scoring movies in a film class, and I put "Skinflowers" to the scene where Kurtz is killed. This tape was a trade with my friend Ashy, who had also done an Apocalypse Now theme tape.

kurtz's words have haunted me since I saw that movie. I like the humor mixed in with the horror a la holiday in cambodia and beach party vietnam. Skinflowers is also an incredible song.

Great stuff - nice to see "Lobster Quadrille" in particular. Other good 'Nam songs: Jimmy Cliff's "Vietnam" and CCR's "Run Through the Jungle."
