Army Radio Flips Out
FRANKFORT, West Germany — Steve J. Oreskovich, a Spec. 5, had done a one - hour midnight show, “Underground”, which featured progressive rock music for his last year in the Army. But when he was discharged he left behind a final pre-recorded show that aired what has been called "unconventional, anti-military, anti-Viet Nam" remarks. The show is said to have “horrified” military bosses.
The show went on for twenty minutes, with anti-war jams, quotes from Vice-President Agnew for laughs and ended “I wonder if little children in North Viet Nam hurt when they die?” before the Army pulled it off and substituted another show for the last 40 minutes.
Oreskovich, from Butte, Montana, is presently touring Europe before coming back to the States; Armed Forces Network have decided not to press charges though they claim he’s committed a serious breach of broadcasting ethics, whatever the fuck that means.
