Adrian Cronauer

[@LivingTheDream6871]

My sweet Jesus. That brings back memories. Being a 19-year-old combat soldier in Vietnam you had very little access to listen to your favorite music. Armed Forces Radio could be picked up anywhere. It was our life blood for keeping up with the latest Tunes.......

Thank you for your service, Mr. Duvall.

I don't like todays music I like old 1950s rock even if some don't like it

[@mamaharumi]

​​​@@evoluckievoThere's more good music today than there ever has been. "Today's music" isn't just whatever pop it is on the radio, dude. I'll never understand people who say this.

Rest easy Adrian and Robin !

[@lasagnajohn]

Adrian defrauded Vets with a Financial Scheme in 2014 (Cracked) and Robin was a Cokehead.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

I'm sorry, I didn't know anything about this thing about Cronauer (maybe during the sixtees he was another person) and about Robin Williams, I think that being a cokehead had nothing to do with his ability as an actor !

In 1968. I landed in Vietnam January 30. I heard this guy on AFVN. The dawn buster show. Gooooooooood morning Vietnam I'm thinking what in the hell have I gotten into Now. Like welcome to Crazy land. RVN 68-69

[@boringdude1626]

I think I'd blow away my radio too if I had to hear this every morning.

[@artnickel1664]

I didn't get there in time to hear Adrian Cronauer but thanks to him AFRTS (pronounced afarts) was worth listening to in 1970-71. Rest in piece, brother.

[@mikehouston1584]

R.I.P. AND THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU DID FOR YOUR BROTHERS IN ARMS BACK IN "NAM"

[@svenmartin840]

Rest well Adrian thanks for your service my dad was in Vietnam in 1968 when he was 25. So they considered him a grown up. But he was just a young man who saw the blunt end of War. As a med-vac nurse

[@Greenr0]

That 'Good ...' was 5 seconds long - 5 seconds to situate himself being the DJ for the next 4 hours.

[@walterharp1773]

Didnt listen to radio in Nam in the yr there 70-71. Adrian must have been a blast

[@joopkroot6055]

For those interested : although the "good morning vietnam" movie was not accurate because Mr. Cronauer would still be in Leavenworth i like to think that irl without consequences the original Dj would be a lot more like depicted in the movie. Quote from an interview with him in Usa today : "Cronauer, who left the Air Force as a sergeant in 1966, said he has no issues with Williams' performance in the movie". This tells it all imo. Much respect for both men. R.i.p.

[@PeachWookiee]

I suspect Adrian would’ve liked to do what Robin did. Robin made this world laugh and I wish he could’ve felt the joy he brought us…

[@kirtg1]

in wikipedia Adrian Cronauer was quoted as saying he wanted to create a tv series that was a cross between MASH and WKRP... good morning viet nam was the result of this idea.

[@thanhngo9543]

He was aired his broadcast directly from The Brink Hotel in Saigon, now is Park Hyatt Saigon.

I don't know if you were in Vietnam or not but I was and Robin Williams did not do it justice. When I just heard the original it sent a slight shivered up my spine......

[@dan_hitchman007]

​@@LivingTheDream6871 Robin was doing his version. The movie was only inspired by Adrian's time in Vietnam, not a documentary.

[@ClarkeMarek]

But not correctly. Adrian did it like this("GOOOOOOOOOOD morning, Vietnam!") because it's not if, but when, you oversleep. The emphasis was on the good so he could grab the records, contact lenses, paperwork, coffee, etc while starting the show.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@ClarkeMarek Robin was given very loose parameters and then did a lot of improvisation. This is his interpretation of Cronauer. It was not supposed to be an accurate to the letter performance. The director let Robin be Robin. He was at his best when riffing.

[@ClarkeMarek]

@@dan_hitchman007 I know. But still, Robin's kinda sounded disorganized. But that's just me.
