    "comment": "RIP Jimmy Cliff.\n\nThe lyrics of \"Vietnam\" tell of a soldier serving there who writes to friends about his return home. Instead, the soldier’s mother receives a telegram notifying her of his death. \n\nAccording to songwriter and singer Jimmy Cliff, the song was based on an artist he knew who was drafted to fight in Vietnam; the artist was not killed but returned home psychologically transformed. \n\n\"Vietnam\" had only modest chart success, reaching number 46 in Britain – however some artists, most notably Bob Dylan, considered it the most effective of all anti-Vietnam War songs.",
