My old friend Michelle is primarily Vietnamese and Filipino, but she also knew she had some Chinese, Mien, and other SE Asian. Like me, Michelle had older relatives, neighbors and family friends, who were deployed to SE Asia, during the Vietnam War. From our American perspective, our consciousness ended, in 1975. We just wanted to get out, go home, recover, and move on.
But Michelle also knew about the rest of the 70s, when the Cambodian-Vietnamese War took place. China, the U.S., and Thailand backed Cambodia, while the Soviet Union supplied Vietnam.
As for the Dead Kennedys, they rose in the early-80s, when Michelle and I were in elementary school. We thus had to rely on older relatives, friends, schoolmates, and neighbors, to provide the music, and explain what it was about. Supposedly, DK often performed at the Mabuhay Gardens on Broadway. However, by the time Michelle and I were in high school (and thus ready to go to concerts), Mabuhay Gardens had shut down. So instead, we'd go to The Stone, which, in the late-80s, was a hotspot for thrash and power metal. In early 1986, DK split up.
