On separate occasions in recent days, I've heard BOTH of my kids blasting this song from their rooms.  Unlike some other songs and artists that I've basically hit them over the head with over the years-- Willie Nelson, Van Halen, Journey, Jerry Jeff Walker-- this is one that they seem to have found on their own.  I've always liked the band, and the song, but it's not typically on heavy rotation around here.  I simply consider it a testament to how well I've raised them, that they could discover a love for this music independently...

I drove from Tulsa to McAlester today on some family business. The fast route is U.S. 75 South to Henryetta ("Home of World Champion Cowboys: Jim Shoulders and Troy Aikman") then Indian Nation Turnpike to McAlester.

I decided to take the scenic route home. U.S. 69 North through Eufala (home of the Selmon Brothers) to Muskogee, then U.S. 64 West back to the south edge of Tulsa.

As I left the vicinity of McAlester, I could pick up two (2) radio stations. One was religious, the other was "country."

These were the first two songs on the country station. After that, it was dreck.

I beat you to it on PT 109 as I played it a while back

I like the song and just wonder how much of it is accurate

if so it was really heroic on JFKs part

Oh, it's about as accurate as "Sink the Bismarck" and "Battle of New Orleans."  Meaning not very.
But it was very heroic on JFK's part.
Especially if you ignore the fact that he got his boat cut in two by a Japanese destroyer that was about half as fast as PT-109. I suspect that the crew were all asleep until seconds before the collision took place. Their missions were night after night, and they were grueling. And it was hard to sleep during the heat of the day. Besides, maintenance on the boat needed to take place and so did mission planning.
Sometimes extreme heroism is what saves the day after mistakes have caused everything to go to Hell.
That song dates from a time before the full flowering of the anti-hero in our culture.
And when we could hate and demean our enemies (or former enemies) and feel good about it!

My youngest, the 12yo boy who for the most part has been drawn to whatever the most recent pop songs are (mostly because of Tiktok I think), now plays this one incessantly, as a result of watching Stranger Things.
