“I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag”

The documentary of the Woodstock festival had recently been released. Mixed in among the legendary performances by Hendrix, the Who, Santana and all the rest, you had Country Joe McDonald. He and his band, the Fish, were quite well known in the San Francisco counterculture; this anti-war ditty was their zenith. I purposely left off the profane cheer (you know it...gimme an F! Gimme a...) that went along with this, but WARNING!! There is one F-bomb in the video I couldn’t avoid.
