He sings with a whole lot of soul for a New York Jewboy. By the way, I'm a New York Jewboy myself so I'm allowed to make jokes like that. However, if I catch anyone else making jokes like that, I will be just too happy to circumsise them with a chainsaw.

@trekcannondale11 Not a bad comment for a bicycle nut.

Tears. Tears running down my face. And I'm happy about it. Playing For Change should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

P.S.Sorry about my rotten spelling.

@EwolDJ Many songs have a story line. Many don't. Lots of poets and songwriters use words and phrases to paint a picture (so to speak) in the mind of the listener. I don't know the backstory to this song, but the images I get when I hear this are quite dramatic.

@MrFattyfatfatboy Your grammar sucks, your spelling sucks, and your punctuation is nonexistant. Please crawl back into the hole you came out of.

@Guydreamr, I like your sentiment, but I think you don't quite get it. If it were not for the white folksingers of th 1950's & 60's a lot of the most important folk, labor and anti-slavery songs would have been lost.

@MrPaulHicks I can't believe you wrote that, because I told my wife the same thing on our wedding night. She's not too much of a Grateful Dead lover, but as time passes she has started to come around. She has agreed to play this at my funeral if I see to it that "My Ramblin' Boy" is played at her...

I knew most of this before I saw this, but I have to thank you for getting it out there for the rest of America. America should never forget that Ronnie Reagon was the worst, most fascist, creep of a president we have ever had.

I had this playing softly in the background while I was giving my senior year English class book report on Steinbeck's "The Grapes Of Wrath". I not only aced the book report, I got an A for the semester. That was back in 1972. My teacher liked it so much that she wrote me such a glowing recommend...

@joonajax Freedom means everything to Aussies. "You'll never take me alive, said he." just means that he would rather be dead than in prison.

@anglicanbeachparty: P.S. You didn't think "8 Miles High" was about flying in an airplane, did you?

It's especially cool when you consider that they're all probably stoned out of their gourds.

Best book Steinbeck ever wrote; Best song Guthrie ever wrote; Best song on the best album Country Joe ever recorded. Thank you for reminding me that the struggle never ends.

@eddy67 I agree with you. But that's not to say that Neal never fired up a joint.

@Thefinalfall I wouldn't hold your breath. Cocksuckers like that like to put stuff down, but rarely have any talent of thier own.

I was really set to dislike this. I mean really, what kind of jerk would dare to post a classic song like this? I was wrong. I don't know who you are, but I think your music is wonderful. Guitar playing: Great. Voice: Great. Keep at it, and keep posting. I can't wait for your next song.

@liberatedsage I still have that and I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I bet you could find a copy on ebay or Amazon.

@burtontool Well said. I've felt that way about many bands over the years. The best advice I can give you is : never pass up an oportunity to see a band you love. The actual concert may be not so hot but at least you will have been there. I speak from experience, I had a ticket to woodstock and...

When Amigo first came out, 1976 or therabout, All the folkies at my college ( all twelve of us) thought one of the verses went "Their's something in la my pantsa, it's a widgie le banana". This is what passed for humor at ****** (name withheld to protect the guilty).

Dear Ken Wong, I have loved this song for over thirty years. I have taught it to my sisters,my girlfriends, my nieces and, perhaps more importantly, my nephews. Your animation will make my explaination ever so much easier, and will help me teach the importance of feminism to kids that I hope wil...

@johnmckinlay67 That should be "He and his bass". Sorry, that was my almost terminal case of OCD talking there. On another note, I was privileged to see Mr. Mayall in two small venues back in the early 70s. After Richard Thompson, I believe he was the most friendly performer back in the day. He a...

@nmcclure79 If I'm remembering right, the phrase he used to describe his voice was "geese farts on a muggy day". He's wrong, of course, his voice is truly great. So full of feeling.

Went to the Bluebird (I think, it might have been somewhere else) Saw Bill play and was immediately hooked for life. Interesting story here: I met my best friend for life that night. The place was so crowded, he and I were jammed up leaning against the back wall, started talking, and haven't been...

The Hell's Angels have always been vicious assholes. This is just further proof. On a happier subject, I would like to say that I don't understand why people are always putting down the wall of sound. They all say it sounds muddy. That might have been true for a few concerts, but every one I was ...

@metalfanforlife100 The late sixties and early seventies San Francisco music scene was smaller than you might think. Janis Joplin had a wild romantic fling with Country Joe McDonald. Grace Slick boinked just about every musician worth mentioning. What basically was going on, was that they shared ...

@oriskany You are so totally right. In the summer between my 1st and 2nd year of uni I did play this every day(sometimes more than once).

@pissedoffdad69 Totally correct sir. Remember such wonderful bands as '1910 Fruitgum company', 'The Archies', and everyone's fave ' The Jackson Five'.

This is just so freaking cool!

@ michiganiceskating, Totally agree about 'Any Day Now'. 'Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands' on that album is the best version ever recorded (including Bob's).

Dear Ken Nunn, or anyone else with a video camera, If you take my picture for any reason and use it without my permission I will track you down and shove your camera up your left nostril.

@wallfootballplayer I am truly sorry to hear you have that horrible disease. As a practicing physician It is my unfortunate duty to tell you that there is no cure. However, to lessen the symptoms, I prescribe massive doses of 'Europe 72'.

@decospeco; Your original comment is as follows: " I cant believe people actually listen to this crap. So boring and plain. It is no wonder anyone with half a brain avoids his music like the plague". The big question is: Why were you even listening to it in the 1st place? I don't go to music site...

@ Staceyandee: We do indeed know who is full of shit. Greenie1981 spouts so much shit it's a miracle FEMA hasn't declared him a hazmat site.
