Country Joe & The Fish -- Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die
1990? I think, round about the time I was 11 or 12 or 13 years old anyways.

I remember watching the documentary made about Woodstock when I was a young'un. I remember the scene that resonated the most with me and still does to this day is this one with Country Joe & The Fish. Now, I didn't know who Country Joe & The Fish were at the time and to be perfectly honest, I still don't know who they are...but I know every single word to this song and I still feel welling in my eyes & soul when EVERYONE stands up during this song and brings all their voices together to do something perfectly impossible like STOP the war.

I think it was the first protest song I ever learned.

Listen People I don't know how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better then that. There's about 300,000 of you you fuckers out there I want you to start singing.
