This is what men recieved in the mail from the us goverment. A letter stamped Selective Serivce.
"I mean if are boys are going over there to vietnam losing their arms fighting a war they never wanted to be in, whose to say where men." So yeah fuck it. Aylan and I we signed are arms away to, signed are whole life away. Eric Ellis - Light of a Better Planet.
Writing a book titled, "Light of a Better Planet." Inspired by JAY-Z decoded I started out just writing in my mind what I thought were explanitions or discusions a class might get involved in if the class was titled songwriting 101 or for them how I learned to come to love my sex and a social life more then spending hours alone. But does it pay off in the end. The light of a better planet, is a story that chronicles two songwriters, one by the name of Bob Aylan, who comes from MInnesota and the other Joshua Judges, who comes from Middlesex County Virigina from a hertiage of Southern Baptists Preachers and there tails of what it took to be noticed by the record industry during the 60's. Bob Aylan gets signed by Column, a record company I base off of Columbia, and Joshua Judges before being signed by Pinkard, a label started by the heir of the failed independent automobile company Packard instead gets drafted and has to go to Vietnam. The first part of the book depicts Aylan and Joshua staying in Chelsea Hotel under the care of LG the man who works the front desk, whom they end up calling Living God. After Joshua gets shipped off to Vietnam Aylan and LG find a way to keep every member of the Chelsea hotel out of harms way by switching names from the letters addressed to the registered address, so that they wouldn't recieve there draft papers. Because once you recieved that letter, you have to sign, it wasn't a suggestion, when you saw it with your eyes thats your handcock right there, its done the U.S. war department is basically sending you a letter indicating that you are no longer a civilian but issued under tax law as both a right off and a soldier for the US goverment. During which I have included chapters of Joshua Judges first hand accounts of his experience in the Vietnam war.
