elcome to my home on the web. I'm a singer and songwriter, I used to be in Country Joe & the Fish, and I live in Berkeley, California. Me and daughter Seven at the Cafe Mediterraneum around 1975. Photo by Craig Kolb. Get info on my upcoming gigs and booking. The new Tribute to Woody Guthrie CD is in stock and available at the Country Store. The live version of War War War is there, too. I am shocked that the Berkeley City Council and the Mayor took the action they did concerning a Marine Recruitment Office in downtown Berkeley. The whole thing is just plain wrong. I want to post this letter from the recruiter in the office that was printed in the Berkeley Daily Planet newspaper as it certainly clarifies many things. Not that I'm dissing Berkeley. Check out this for an alternate take on B-town. Check out a nice article about me from the Sacramento Bee. The Berkeley campus treesit goes on! See me sing the Hokey Oakey on YouTube. Visit Save the Oaks at the Stadium for more. A new museum commemorating Woodstock and the sixties is set to open on June 2 at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, on the site of the original festival. There's a petition to nominate Pete Seeger for a Nobel Peace Prize. You can sign it here. You may not know that Pete was involved in the founding of the Clearwater environmental organization. On July 1 the city of Concord, California, will attempt to set a new world record for the most guitarists playing together. I will lead the crowd in singing along with them on "This Land is Your Land." The current record is held by Adelaide, Australia (1700!). The City of Berkeley is continuing to work on the bronze plaque commemorating Berkeley's casualties in World War II. There is a now revised list of names. If you know of someone from Berkeley who died in that war, please check the list to make certain that person's name is on it. Fan Jake Brutman has started an on-line petition calling for the induction of Country Joe and the Fish and Canned Heat into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You can sign it here. Aaron Sorkin, creator of the TV drama "The West Wing," is working with DreamWorks Studios on a screenplay about the Chicago Seven trial, to be directed by Steven Spielberg. (Read my testimony in the trial.) Filming had been scheduled to begin in March, but was delayed by the writers' strike and anticipation of a possible upcoming actors' strike. Meanwhile, Chicago 10, currently in release, treats the same subject with a combination of documentary footage and animation. San Francisco writer Joel Selvin has agreed to work with me on my autobiography and we hope to have it released in time for the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, summer 2009.
