Johnny's Gone to the War
[1965]
Lyrics & music by Peter Krug
EP: Songs of Opposition / Rag Baby Talking Issue, Vol 1, Issue A (B-side)
Album: Collector's Items (The First Three EPs) [1980]
Pete Krug would be totally forgotten today had he not, by circumstance, ended up on the very collectable first release by a major California psychedelic group. In late 1965, Country Joe & the Fish – still a folk jugband for the most part – put out their first two tracks, early versions of "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag" and "Superbird", on a four-song EP accompanying the magazine Rag Baby. Country Joe & the Fish were only on the A-side, however; the B-side was devoted to two solo acoustic performances by Krug, a San Francisco Bay Area folk singer/songwriter. The two songs were mediocre mid-'60s topical folk tunes, not helped by the drab melodies and Krug's unsteady, inexpressive vocals. "Fire in the City"... (Continues)

Kiss My Ass
[1971]
Scritta da Joe McDonald e Barry Melton, dall’EP “Resist! Sings Country Joe” e poi anche in “Incredible! Live!”. In seguito compare in “Collector's Items: The First Three Eps”.
Come la mitica I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag, una canzone epocale che, già dal titolo, non richiede commento…

Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Joseph Allen "Country Joe" McDonald
The "Fish" Cheer/I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag
Un pezzo contro la guerra nel Vietnam.
Resta celebre il grido che Country Joe McDonald lanciava nei concerti invitando il pubblico allo spelling della parola "F-U-C-K", esortando la folla a reagire contro una politica estera che voleva gli Stati Uniti impegnati in una guerra già persa.
L'apparizione del gruppo a Woodstock nel 1969 coinvolse in questo grido mezzo milione di persone.
everything you want to know about the song and much, much more! (Country Joe's official website)
