You'd be very hard pressed to find anyone there who knows who he was. There's remarkably little ill will towards the Americans there, or in Vietnam even. The Khmers hate the Viets, and the Viets hate the Chinese.
50 odd years ago now & I'm guessing that Cambodia has quite a young population overall plus a degree of stoicism. Maybe there is dancing on the streets of Santiago. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

It's absolutely disappearing from living memory, but I think even most who lived through it just don't know what went on. Even at the time the blame was put on Lon Nol, so the Khmer Rouge could raise an army in the rural East that was being bombed, to rise up against the bourgeois city folk. |

A life lived to the full.
Looked terrible prior to recent release from hospital.
Much more to him than one very well known hit.
RIP.

Vicky performed her final show in 2015 You can't believe that you're actually watching that in front of your eyes. It's just out of this world," the 23-year-old told BBC Newsbeat.  |
