  1. RIP Country Joe McDonald. This song was part of the soundtrack of my youth - yes, I am part of the #woodstock generation, though I didn’t go. The song is just as relevant today as it was then. #CountryJoeMcDonald #vietnamwar #iranwar

  5. January 23, 1970 - Called as witnesses, folksingers Judy Collins, Country Joe McDonald, Arlo Guthrie, Phil Ochs, and Pete Seeger were denied permission to sing as part of their testimony for the defense at the trial of "The Chicago Seven."

    Seven leaders of demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago were being tried for conspiring to incite a riot as they protested the Vietnam war.

  6. My mom was a #hippie, she introduced me to this song (we had to watch the #Woodstock special every year on #PBS), and it's sad that it is still 100% applicable:

    Fixin' to Die Rag
    -Country Joe & The Fish

    I never heard my mom swear (really) but she said the F bomb was justified here.

  8. Happy 81st birthday to Country Joe McDonald, who was born on New Year's Day 1942.

    "And its 1, 2, 3 what are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me I don't give a damn,
    The next stop is Vietnam,
    And it's 5, 6, 7 open up the pearly gates,
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
    WHOOPEE! We're all gonna die"
