Country Joe McDonald shaped by music and politics
Country Joe McDonald, now thirty, blends folk, psychedelic rock, and activism. He left the FTA Show to push child care centers, supports women’s lib, and tours Europe with the Doors. He recalls influences from Guthrie and Gilbert and Sullivan and outlines a life of early success, a move from Berkeley to San Francisco, and a shift back to pure music and community work.
