Happy birthday, Joe!
And I will add a bit of "common misunderstanding" kind of trivia.
"The Fish" was not the name of Joe's band.  It was guitarist (and public defender) Barry Melton's nickname.  If it was Joe & Barry, no matter who else - if any - others were in the band, it was Country Joe & The Fish.  No Barry?  Billed as Country Joe McDonald.

A touchstone of our generation.

Peter (ho will add that Mr. Melton is a sadly under-regarded player; absolute monster!)
