Just found this website with 1000s !!!! of Vietnam War music videos from the South. Beautiful haunting music and never before seen footage of the war. ARVN, civilians, etc etc.

Tens of thousands of South Vietnamese fled to Australia after 1975, and surprise surprise...they integrated into the population very well. I worked with quite a few and heard their harrowing stories of shipwreck, storms, pirate attacks

...

Good decent hard working people.

Music related and a bit interesting...

Way back in the early days of Rock and Roll, royalties for artists and songwriters were very much often than not very paltry; The Beatles, for example, received the princely sum of about 1/4 of one penny for each single record sold and just a bit more for an LP; of course, once they became the biggest thing ever, the deal was renegotiated in their favor; however, other artists were not so fortunate and many made tons of money for their record labels and got pittances; the situation was a lot better for for band members who were also the songwriters for their bands; they received an additional, and sometimes larger, royalty for each record sold of their compositions; Lennon/McCartney and Jagger/Richards make substantially more than their bandmates and a nearly sole composer like Townsend of The Who was raking it in; now, with streaming, and the decline of physical record sales, royalties have become a real issue for artists; royalties are based on each song streamed rather than on an actual record sold; streamers took advantage of their near stranglehold on the market and are paying really low royalties; this link is an article describing the royalty system for various streamers and the amount they pay for each download to the artists:

Some well established artists are being shocked to receive royalty checks reflecting just a fraction of what the received prior to the age of streaming services; however, if you are lucky enough to get one of your compositions to be used as a TV show theme and that show is successful, you can really rake the money in:

Interestingly, some artists set out to be TV and movie soundtrack writers; Danny Elfman created the band Oingo Boingo as a means of showcasing his work to TV and movie producers; needless to say he succeeded spectacularly; some others also used their bands to promote their songwriting to TV/film producers and had some degrees of success...

Speaking of Devo, here is a clip of the band performing on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series; lead singer Mark Mothersbaugh is still going strong even at the age of 74...
