Dave Rabbit, Vietnam Pirate Radio (Audio Interview)
When does a telephone call,
intended to be the basis of a print interview for XMFan, get released as
an audio interview? Well, it happens when the person I'm interviewing is
none other than Vietnam radio legend Dave Rabbit. Shortly into the
interview, it became obvious that there would be no reasonable way to
transcribe Dave's words to print, if I were to give justice to the vibe
Dave was passing on to me. Dave and I decided to release the audio
recording of the interview after the fact, so what the listener will
hear is unrehearsed and largely unedited.
Several informative sites exist if you are unfamiliar with Dave Rabbit
and his legendary pirate radio show that was broadcast from a Saigon
whorehouse in early 1971. I should also mention that Dave is active in
radio today, and depending on how the chips fall, may be heard on the
airwaves blanketing your city one day soon.
The links below will direct you to Dave's official site and the only
known recorded broadcast of "Radio First Termer" from January, 1971. I
would recommend shining your boots or cleaning your M-16 rifle while
listening... After all, what else is there to do in Saigon on a night
like this? (Please, don't answer...)
