elcome to my home on the web. I'm a singer and songwriter, I used to be in Country Joe & the Fish, and I live in Berkeley, California. Me and daughter Seven at the Cafe Mediterraneum around 1975. Photo by Craig Kolb. Get info on my upcoming gigs and booking. The new Tribute to Woody Guthrie CD is in stock and available at the Country Store. The live version of War War War is there, too. There will be a special program that revisits the 1965 play Change Over written by Fred Hayden and directed by Nina Serrano with songs by Country Joe McDonald. The song "Who Am I" was written for this play. It's on KPFA-FM, Friday July 11, 3 pm, on "Open Book." The world record for simultaneous guitar playing has been broken! Read the story from the San Francisco Chronicle. Watch a video. The Berkeley campus treesit goes on! See me sing the Hokey Oakey on YouTube. Visit Save the Oaks at the Stadium for more. From Leah Garchik's column in the San Francisco Chronicle, June 10: Country Joe McDonald was in Canada the first weekend in June playing a benefit for Corey Glass, who fled to Canada to escape being court-martialed for desertion from Iraq. Glass is being deported to the United States. When McDonald returned, his baggage claim ticket for his guitar case had "Luv Yr Stuff" written on it in marker, apparently by a baggage handler. But when he opened the case, it looked as though his 1960s Gibson guitar had been bashed with a hammer. A supervisor at United told him, "I have decided not to file your claim for damage as the case is not really harmed ... just the guitar." An airline representative confirms this practice, although she says the situations are reviewed "on a case-by-case basis .... The airlines do not open bags and inspect them. Has your reader filed a complaint with the TSA? That is what we recommend travelers do in these scenarios." Fortunately, I took it to Pete Webster at Guitar-o-Rama (6116 Telegraph Ave., Oakland, 510-547-2009) and he was able to fix it up good as new. First someone wrecks my guitar and now my car. Wassup wi dat?! See it on YouTube. There's a petition to nominate Pete Seeger for a Nobel Peace Prize. You can sign it here. You may not know that Pete was involved in the founding of the Clearwater environmental organization. The City of Berkeley is continuing to work on the bronze plaque commemorating Berkeley's casualties in World War II. There is a now revised list of names. If you know of someone from Berkeley who died in that war, please check the list to make certain that person's name is on it. Fan Jake Brutman has started an on-line petition calling for the induction of Country Joe and the Fish and Canned Heat into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You can sign it here. Bobby Roth's film Berkeley, featuring 10 Country Joe and the Fish songs, is available on DVD from Amazon. Aaron Sorkin, creator of the TV drama "The West Wing," is working with DreamWorks Studios on a screenplay about the Chicago Seven trial, to be directed by Steven Spielberg. (Read my testimony in the trial.) Filming had been scheduled to begin in March, but was delayed by the writers' strike and anticipation of a possible upcoming actors' strike. Meanwhile, Chicago 10, currently in release, treats the same subject with a combination of documentary footage and animation. More Wuzzup...
