    Another Anthem singer...we're losing these heroes way too fast.

    ... there ain't no time to wonder why ...

    and just because I like old music, we can connect the dots back to this classic ...

    I might have a Country Joe and the Fish album around here somewhere if it didn't go into the garage sale. I used to love that band, it was so fun.

    I still remember the day my college roommate brought home a record, said "You've got to hear this!" Turned the lights down low, put it on the turntable, and the first notes from Country Joe and the Fish rang out. I'd never heard anything like it.
    I loved those songs; Country Joe and Barry "the Fish" Melton, who is now a lawyer, and still playing.
    RIP, Joe.

    I met him about 26 years ago. Kind of a smart ass, but friendly. RIP.
