Phil G here

In the time of this unjust military incursion, we lost one of the great Anti-War Activists last month, Country Joe McDonald.

I'll be paying tribute to this tireless activist; whether it was support of Veterans, Environmental issues, Feminism, Unions, Nurses, and Gun Violence, Country Joe lent his voice to the cause. 

I;ll be playing some of Joe's best known (and, maybe, least known) songs, as well as protest songs from Phil Ochs, Buddy Miller, Ani Difranco, and more.

 

This show has a LOT of emotional intensity.

 

Thanks for tuning in. Support Independent Media!
