Thank you to our alpha patron Joel for this BANGING Woodstock video... another one off the list! Eventually we will do EVERY Woodstock video that is on youtube. I just feel it in my bones. This was excellent. What a performance and that crowd was amazing. The second song was of course better instrumentally but overall the woodstock video was my favorite :)

"GIMME AN "F" !!" In 1969, Country Joe and the Fish were an up and coming band with a promising career ahead of them. Then, in one fell stroke, with the utterance of those words "Country" Joe McDonald ended that career prematurely. When the record labels caught wind of that chant, they refused flat out to have anything more to do with Country Joe and the Fish. To his credit, though, on that day Country Joe became a F%CKING LEGEND! This is the second song that I can now cross off my request list.

Hell of a time to be young and to be an American. There was a mood and an atmosphere that I don't think has ever been repeated since mid-seventies. Country Joe was one of a kind. He was one of us and by. Us. I mean the first generation of long-haired young people. Hippies, of course. Back in 69 I got within about 5 miles of Woodstock but i left too late that day from Jersey and by the time i got within 5 miles, they had closed the New York thruway. I've probably got 3 or 4 things that I could think back on and regret, and of that little group, not making it there to Woodstock that weekend is one of them. Heavy sigh.....

I was up for the draft at that time. My mother said she would send me to Canada if I got drafted. She felt that since her father and my dad had both been in the "big" wars she would not chance losing her son. Fortunately, the birthday lottery was instituted, and my number was 324, so no chance of going. The lottery was instituted as a way to try to defuse the anti-war movement. It didn't really help.

Their song, Janis, is about Janis Joplin. They also have a song about Grace Slick, aptly titled Grace. They are both great songs. My favorite, though, is Bass Strings. For me, it’s one of the most psychedelic songs ever.

Check out P McCartney's I Wanna Cry recorded in 1987, simple but great blues song. He does a great guitar. Available on youtube
