Description: "Rooster" is a song guitarist Jerry Cantrell of the band Alice in Chains wrote, dedicated to his own father. The song is about his father's survival of his tour in Vietnam. Jerry's father's nickname in Vietnam was "Rooster". It is not known where the nickname came from, but many believe that it may have been in relation to the 101st Airborne Division, in which Cantrell's father served. The 101st Airborne wore patches on their arms featuring a bald eagle. There are no bald eagles in Vietnam, so the closest thing the Vietnamese came to an eagle was a chicken. They referred to Americans as "chicken men", hence the "Rooster". |
