Way down yonder there in Iran...

It's been way too easy to go to war since they eliminated the draft. Poor people and immigrants fight our wars for us and it's too easy to look the other way.

those who want to just rape, and kill and kill.

I have actually been pretty in favor of the draft selecting those who are able (2 working arms, 2 working legs, 2 working eyes and decent health).

The foreign policy would be much more responsive to the people.

I was into my second "tour" of Vietnam when Woodstock happened and didn't hear this song until I got back to the states, my first thought was, this is spot on, or something to that effect.

Psychedelic rock legend Joseph Allen “Country Joe” McDonald has died at the age of 84.

McDonald, who was known for fronting the sixties group Country Joe and the Fish, famously led the crowd at the 1969 Woodstock festival in the anti-Vietnam War protest anthem “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag.” The solo performance included the “Fish Cheer,” a call-and-response to “Gimme an F” that prompted the audience to spell out “f***.”

The singer and songwriter died of Parkinson’s disease Saturday in Berkeley, California, according to his wife, Kathy.

“We are deeply saddened to report the passing of Country Joe McDonald, who died yesterday, March 7th, at the age of 84, in Berkeley, California, due to complications from Parkinson's Disease,” the band said in an official statement Sunday.

Not a lot of new protest songs these days. The corporate overseers of the music industry don't like them.

RIP and thank you for the memories.
