Bill Crews speaks with legendary Australian singer-songwriter John Schumann to reflect on the enduring legacy of his Vietnam War anthem, "I was only 19," and his continued commitment to veteran advocacy. The conversation shifts to Schumann’s recent work with The Vagabond Crew, specifically the powerful new song "Fishing Net in the Rain," which honours the memory of sailor David Finney and aims to humanise the findings of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. Through a blend of musical history and social activism, Schumann discusses the importance of authentic Australian storytelling and the critical need for systemic change within the Australian Defence Force to protect the mental health of those who serve.
