Country Joe McDonald, Woodstock Antiwar Icon, Dies at 84

Country Joe McDonald, the Bay Area psychedelic rocker who led Country Joe and the Fish and became synonymous with Woodstock through the provocative 'Fish Cheer' and antiwar anthem 'I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag,' died at 84 from Parkinson’s complications in Berkeley. A pioneering but politically sharp musician, his career spanned the band’s influential 1967 Electric Music for the Mind and Body, a long solo run, and later works such as the 1986 Vietnam Experience and the 2017 album 50.

Remembering Rita Lee: Brazil's Queen of Rock Passes Away at 75.

Rita Lee, the Brazilian singer, musician, composer, and a founder of Os Mutantes, has died at the age of 75. Lee was a pioneer of Brazilian rock and a key figure in the Tropicália movement. Os Mutantes' psychedelic music included fuzzed-out freak outs underscored by carnivalesque orchestrations, found sounds, and pan-Latin rhythms. Lee left Os Mutantes in 1972 to assert her roots, and her music became more conventional over the decades, especially her pop collaborations with Roberto Carvalho, whom she later married.
