TL;DR Summary

Country Joe McDonald, frontman of Country Joe and the Fish and a defining voice of the 1960s antiwar counterculture after Woodstock, died Saturday in Berkeley at 84 from Parkinson’s disease. Born Joseph Allen McDonald in 1942, he helped propel protest music with hits like I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag and the infamous Fish Cheer at Woodstock, and continued as a musician-activist after the band’s 1971 split.
