And the admiral in charge of the Gulf of Tonkin was Admiral Morrison, who had a son that was in a band.

There's a book called Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon by Dave McGowan that goes into this kind of stuff. Many of the rock stars of the 60's had intelligence and/or military connections. When you consider that MKULTRA was going full steam at that time, it seems entirely possible that many of those bands were psychological operations.

'in a band' @ The Doors.
They were major icons in the anti-war protest movement. But people did not know this tidbit at the time!
