I/we used to play these gigs - they were called 'mixers' back in the day. Seemed every GI carried around a picture of themselves (from before the draft board got a hold of 'em) with long hair. After a set it never failed one or two would corner me at the bar or on the way to the john, pull out the wallet, dig out the picture: 'Yeah man, this is me man ! See, I'm cool too'. LOL !! Actually met a lot of good guys that were just far from home and knew no one, it musta been tuff and lonely.The local babes would come in hoping to score a future Officer (and a Gentleman). Hard to look 'cool' with those buzz cuts.Fred Willard had it down to a 'T'. At least one person affiliated with this flick had to really have experienced this themself(s) to have got it so 'right'. Funny sh*t and spot on.
"Do you guys know 'Bad Leroy Brown' ?"
"Yeah, sure we do LOL...oh sh*t, he's serious...."
