Annotation
The song "Sam, You Made the War Too Long" (Polydor # 2079 014) - adult contemporary / easy listening, Australian, anti-war song, referencing the My Lai Massacre and Kent State shooting. The narrator said the US had it all after World War II, strong dollar etc. But got stuck in Asia, then Kent State at home, and the My Lai massacre in Vietnam.
