He was a great guy! Tommy Meyers and the Manzanita Band were his band for a while and Tom was my neighbor in the Sierras. I have two of his albums. He's a lot like Arlo Guthrie when it comes to storytelling. Country Joe's mom was a trip. She was high up in the Berkely Socialist Party way back in the day. R.I.P! His double album live in Germany is a great place to start if you don't know his music.

Able to see him several times in bay area & once at Crystal Ballroom.

Last time I saw him was at the Lola Montez Nevada City Theater but I’d met him at Gary Snyders house before. I saw him first in 71 in the Bay Area. Maybe People's Park in Berkely or the Amphitheater.

Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box.
Sadly, still relevant.

Holy shit. Joe is such a common name, no one wonders where it comes from. Turns out Country Joe named for Stalin.

I think his mother was a socialist.

I think his mother was a socialist.

Both his parents were Communist Party members, not just socialist. He would have been born early in World War II.
