Norwegian Wood is a song by the Beatles which first appeared on the 1965 album Rubber Soul and soothed the soul in a turbulent time that made us contemplate making serious decisions about what to do. This song played throughout the country as one of many popular Beatle songs in 1965. The Vietnam War had become personal for many of us after fellow classmates were being killed each month. News reports at that time were making the Vietnam conflict a matter of concern for us as we faced the possiblity of being drafted into that unpopular war. KEPS and KTSA with Ricci Ware provided the sounds and commentary of those years.
