Country Joe is playing live on the radio (local)

[johnnie]

He's singing a heavey protest tune. I didn't know he was around.
Here is a line he just sang
"Chicken hawk, draft dodgin' son of a bush"



I found the lyrics



Support the Troops
Copyright © 2005 by Joe McDonald

Beat the drum, wave the flag,
For those who won’t be coming back.
Numbers rising, build another Wall
For those who answered the Country’s call.

Support the troops
Support the troops

Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Dads
Left with nothing but a folded flag.
Gold Star Brothers, Sisters too
Feel their pain, it could be you!

Support the troops
Support the troops

Chorus:
Chicken hawk, draft dodging, son Of A Bush
Look at all the damage you did!
American war in the Holy Land
Blood for oil, not in my name!
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name

Some day soon, don’t know when
We’ll see the wounded women and men
Lining the walls of American streets
Hands out begging for something to eat.

Support the troops
Support the troops

Forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
Wondering "What were we fighting for?"
World War III around the bend
That’s what we get with the George Bush Plan.

Support the troops
Support the troops

Chorus:
Chicken hawk, draft dodging, son Of A Bush
Look at all the damage you did!
American war in the Holy Land
Blood for oil, not in my name!

Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Not in my name
American shame
Not in my name
American shame.

4. His website says he's on the Lanigan & Malone show...

Here's his schedule. He's heading off to Europe--mostly playing with Canned Heat, Ten Years After & Iron Butterfly. (I saw him in 1968--on the same show with Canned Heat & Frank Zappa!)

Check around the website. Lots of interesting facts & links. He's a Navy vet & supported the building of the Berkeley Vietnam Veterans Memorial. His work with nurses who served there led to an interest in Florence Nightingale--another of his sites.

5. That's what I was listening to

The Lanigan & Malone show. He is finished now, but it was pretty good.

6. Still speaking the truth with music.
