My father was there and in the Belgian Congo. He was wounded as part of Dutch UN peacekeeping force. Don't ask me why he was attached to a Dutch outfit.
The video for Rock the Casbah is one of my earliest childhood memories of MTV. That was back in the 80s when MTV used to actually play music. I was 6 I believe when that video first aired. I used to watch MTV for hours every afternoon. I hate their version of I Fought the Law though. It's dreadful.
