A decades-long affair with history and the cathode digital ray, set to a glam-trash beat.

lyrics

I remember watching Vietnam
On a black and white tv set
Now I don't dream in color
Goodnight David, goodnight Chet

I was nixed by Nixon and kissed by Kissinger
Got my daily body count
Don't kill the messenger

I remember watching George McGovern
On a new color tv set
My dreams turned to monochrome
Goodnight David, goodnight Chet

Heard a man on the tv say our culture's sinking low
We're in a deep dark valley
The land of the six-pack Joe

Now I'm watchin' Fox and The Daily Show
On my hd tv set
I lose my balance on the stairs
Goodnight David, goodnight Chet

I remember watching Vietnam
On a black and white tv set
Now I don't dream in color
Goodnight David, goodnight Chet
Goodnight David, goodnight Chet

Inspired by Neil Young, John Fogerty, Paul Westerberg, Ian Hunter and many more, The Kevins' continuing quest is to create the perfect single - or at least some cool b-sides. ... more
