Happy  67th birthday, Bill Berry, born today in 1958!\n--\nThe song does not refer to any single Vietnam-related experience for lead singer Michael Stipe, but simply that he lived in that era of American history. He wrote in Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011: \"[The song is] a composite and fictional narrative in the first person, drawn from different stories I heard growing up around Army bases. This song is about the Vietnam War and the impact on soldiers returning to a country that wrongly blamed them for the war.\"\n\nStipe's father served in Vietnam in the helicopter corps.\n\nhttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/rem/orange-crush",
