In 1966, Jim Croce joined the Army National Guard to avoid being drafted and sent to Việt Nam. While stationed at Fort Dix in New Jersey, he met a man named Leroy Brown, who had gone AWOL but returned a few days later to get his paycheck and was arrested. Brown was the inspiration for Bad Bad Leroy Brown. Here is a live performance at Royce Hall, UCLA, June 20 1973.
