Drinking cheap beer at the Enlisted Man’s Club
after the work day is done. Dancing with willing
frauleins to jukebox music, singing along with
the Stones, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction!” It’s a
great night to be a G.I. More beer, more music,
more dancing, 1965. Seems Germany is the perfect
place at just the right time for a youthful American
soldier like me to be. The Commies can have their\
place occupying the East; I will hold mine in the
West perfectly fine. Hopefully we can replay the
same tune tomorrow, same place, same time. More
beer, more music, more dancing...everything in this
world of mine is just fine as long as I, my friends
and foes alike, each stay on our own side of the line.
And oh, you might want to throw out that drunk over
there by the jukebox. He’s been itching for a fight
all night long.
