Country Joe and The Fish - Superbird

[MrDeadhead32]

this song was banned after its release in 67, they returned to the studio and recorded "I feel like im fixin to die rag." Just thought it was cool they were saying whats on their mind, even if its going to be censored.

[TheOneartist]

@MrDeadhead32 Yeah, listen to "Bass Strings" and how they whisper LSD at the end. I was pleasantly surprised with how blatant they were in their music. This album kicks ass.

Who's next in Line to take the Acid Test? Shouldn't that be a condition of taking office? Wish....

[stevwert]

Country Joe and the Fish, the best!!

[MrDrewlips]

yeah gonna make him eat flowers...make him drop some acid.

[foxijim]

kin awesome

[MrLiam65]

What a shame these guys didn't quite make it into the 70's conscience. It seems like bands that did are remembered today but the musicians that slipped away in the 60's are forgotten mostly. We started out with these guys, a joint or 2, a couch or floor, and it all began from there. They really were about the first consciousness-altering band I can remember, along with J.A. of course. The music history books need to be updated to bring these guys in. And what an example of the SF guitar sound!

[Django5198]

it does kinda sound like the first track on the album but oh well

[TheOneartist]

@Django5198 Listen to it again. The first track is slower and quite different than this.

[mrniggerbaiter]

He's still here.

[173rdbobby1967]

Damn SF had some kick ass musicians back in the day.

[harveydents]

Funnny how he mentions the fantastic four....Because Ben Grimm and Reed Richards were Republicans!

[Django5198]

thumbs up if you think Barry Melton is a really underrated guitarist

[lightlyone]

Lots of good info above. One of the early super band jams, a real mainstay of the Bay scene. Great musicians.

[jetercollecter]

Andy, heres another cool 1960's protest song, few people know this one, just music geeks like me. LOL I used to change the lyrics to George W. B instead of L.B.J

[WimGrundy]

Lyndon McBird was a staple character on Mort Crowley's Morning Maniacs show back in the 60's... remember KXOK AM 630? and what was MORT on? Far Out!

[MrBrownbeard]

@WimGrundy Someone with a brain Thanx!

[luckyshow]

you guys are sad. One guy doesn't like it so says one would have to do acid to like it.. So another guy has pity for him because he has gloating pride in his personal choices. Early early man followed the cattle. The cattle made big cattle poops. Psilocybin mushroms grow on cow poop. Early man ate anything that didn't kill him. They ate these mushrooms. There are some theories that this is why the human mind "evolved." Learned to hunt small animals, agriculture, the wheel. Maybe even fire.

[JoeMulk]

I should have discovered this song while Bush was still president.

[Django5198]

Barry melton is such an underrated guitarist!!!!!!!!!!

[calilakeshow]

you are wrong my friend about one thing. Country Joe is actually the birth name his parents gave to him at birth. His real name is Country Joe McDonald, not a nickname as you say.

[martbook]

@calilakeshow BornJoseph Allen McDonald. Sorry Bud, U R wrong. Country Joe is a political reference to Joseph Stalin

[pikeasaurus15]

holy shit this is terrible music.

the only way you could ever enjoy this is with half a lsd rotted out brain

[4difference]

@pikeasaurus15 I'm very sorry for you, I've never used LSD or other drugs

@flagwaver1969 HuH?

[jamesdeca]

bye bye bushiepoo! did anyone see the bushes on inaugeration day looking up at the sky?they were waaiting for the foot to come out of the sky and kick their butts out of the whitehousehave fun in texas!

[LSDCoatedBrain]

Man, I love how we haven't been having to hear about that pig and how fucking stupid he is. I've really been taking these past few months for granted.

[flagwaver1969]

Yeah...this asshole in the Whitehouse is so much better than Bush. Steals from the worker, hires more IRS workers, gives to his banker/lawyer buddies and the lazy malcontents who voted for him.

[mrbag60]

Not long after this song was made LBJ decided not to run for a second term and retired to his Texas ranch. If we'd only been so lucky with our current President.

[bassandguitarguy]

I have a beat to hell copy of this LP. Don't think I ever played it.Fun to hear some of it here Thanks for posting!

Oh, ps - I saw country joe back in the early 70's -didn't have his band with him, just acoustic guitar and a guy with him playing with drumsticks on an upside down plastic trashcan! No Kidding!

[Jenscool]

This should be done today with Bush instead of LBJ! Send him back to Texas and work on his ranch..and make him drop some acid!

[30lines]

there is not enough acid in existence to open his mind!!

[Jenscool]

They didn't!@30lines

[flagwaver1969]

Jenscool: Then you'd be using LSD irresponsibly and as a weapon just like the CIA/FBI did.

[Jenscool]

Get real, he needs it!!!

[borneo215]

@Jenscool obama now lol this shit really does last generations ahahha

[harmonicaman2008]

OH SHIT,last night we were playin some blues and this record came up! So many memories tied to this record. How did I ever survive all the drugs I ingested? SOoooo COOOoooool !!

[luckyshow]

No, the real question is how did those that didn't use the drugs survive?

[katskrach88]

Awesome music. Haven't heard this since I was kid. Great music. :)

[androidstar]

OMG! This brings back soooooo many memories of the 1960's.I must have dropped acid dozens of times listening to this tune, and ended up getting so spaaaaaaaced out! I wrote a book about those days titled: "Autobiography of a Hippie: 1964 through 1969", in which I describe what it was like back then as a runaway teenage "flower child" aged 14 through 19. I turned on, tuned in and dropped out! You can check out a link to my book on my channel. Those were times of real intense adventures! Cheers!

[califbaby1969]

what's your channel? i also saw these guys many times here in San Diego; glad i lived during that period... and survived it... the best & worst of times... but we were living life!

[SkopTeocratico]

This song remember me the Masta' that flyin up a rocket for all the desert. the Maestro are a Massonic nice man, an apple man.
