Adrian Cronauer, the real live DJ portrayed by Robin Williams in the movie "Good Morning Vietnam" just passed, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44897634 (many other obits also available).
Keen to travel, Cronauer says he actually volunteered for a transfer to Vietnam, where he was hired initially as a news director for Armed Forces Radio there.
After his morning presenter left, he took up the 06:00 Dawn Buster show mantle, greeting troops with an enthusiastic yell of: "GOOOOOOOOD morning, Vietnam!"
Cronauer soon found out while interviewing troops that his ironic salute was often met with "the GI equivalent of: Get stuffed Cronauer" on bad days, he recounted at a veterans event in 2008.
"On one occasion, a guy picked up his M16 and blew away his radio," he told the Americans Veterans Centre conference.
Did any Soylentils hear him — live — in Vietnam?

My daughter loved teh Spice Girls when she was a kid, so i'd blast them in the morning: ALWAYS got her up and going quickly in the morning. We'd sing the songs while she ate breakfast.
Good times... sigh... good times.
