Episode Details

Country Joe McDonald, the antiwar icon, passed away at 84, regretting his famous cheer in I-Feel-Like-Im-Fixin-to-Die Rag hindered his mainstream success. The song initially started innocently, but the bands drummer suggested the f-word, leading to a ban from the Ed Sullivan Show. Despite this, McDonalds Woodstock performance solidified his counterculture status, and his legacy combines protest and respect for all troops.
