Saturday, October 12 Way back in the dark ages, in 1967, a band called Country Joe and the Fish had a hit song called "Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag." With manic glee it captured the defiant spirit of a young generation being herded off by deranged politicians to be slaughtered in Vietnam. Pious Republicans in divinity school were offended by it. Draftees in Vietnam loved it. Now comes Montana's Pat Dawson (US Army, 1968-1970) with a production that, while it may lack some of the musicianship of "Fixin' to Die," aptly nails today's parallel; what might be called Gulf & Exxon War II. It's called the Chickenhawk Boogie (click here to hear it). The Chickenhawk Boogie What's the deal? Can this be real, are we goin' to mobilize? Fight for oil to prove we're loyal? But not us older guys. We kept our date, back in Sixty Eight, invited by LBJ. He said "Son, now take this gun, and ... kill me some N-V- A!!!" Chick, chick, chicken hawks, back there in D.C. We got the draft while you just laughed, enjoyed your liberty! No Purple Hearts, no missing parts, guess you were no fool. Was life that hard, in the National Guard, or graduate school? Hey Big Fella, used to be yella, but now you say "Let's Roll!" Commander-in-Chief, gonna give 'em grief, now you're in control. Wounded brothers, Gold Star mothers, can you look 'em in the face? Does that flag you wave, make you feel brave, enough to take their place? Now you say you got to take away our rights that men died for, While you're cashin' in the fashion of beatin' those drums of war. Chick, chick, chickenhawks, we'll follow you all the way Keep on braggin' ... you might get a fraggin' ... on election day!

Ory maintains the tune of "Fixin' to Die" infringes upon the copyright of her father's song, "Muskrat Ramble." Country Joe is reacting to the legal problem with his typical insouciance.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A<>E<>R + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Forwarded as information only; I don't believe everything I read or send (but that doesn't stop me from considering it; obviously SOMEBODY thinks it's important) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.
