In Honor of Country Joe

 Sorry, we are a bit late on this one, but............

The protest singer, Vietnam veteran advocate, and leader of Country Joe and the Fish passed away on March 7 due to complications from Parkinson’s Disease, his band announced on social media.


McDonald always wove politics into his music. In 1970, he testified in the Chicago Seven Trial alongside Norman Mailer, Phil Ochs, Allen Ginsberg, Judy Collins, and Arlo Guthrie, where he recited the lyrics to “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die-Rag.” In 1971, he joined an anti-war FTA show with Donald Sutherland and Jane Fonda, which landed him on Richard Nixon’s “enemies list.” He became heavily involved in the Save the Whales movement in the 1970s and worked with Greenpeace. Throughout his life, he remained committed to organizing on behalf of Vietnam veterans, and his efforts led to the creation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Berkeley.

So, in honor of Country Joe.......

Well, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
Yeah, he's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam Iran
So put down your books and pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lotta fun

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam Iran
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die

Well, come on generals, let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Now you can go out, and get those Reds Muslims
'Cause the only good Commie Muslim is the one that's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the  PERAVES CZ  company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...

More sad news............

 I really really hope this is on the up and up. With interactions with people on the internet, you can never be sure if what we hear is real. BUT, because we have all been wondering what happened to Susan, I will repost an email I got this morning: Hi, This is Walter, Susan's step son who she mentioned live in California.  I am sorry to inform you that Susan took her life the day before Thanksgiving by locking herself in the garage with the cars running.  I can see from your communications that she trusted you and that is why I am informing you that she committed suicide.  Thank you for encouraging her to trudge along in life if her husband were to die.  I wish she would have listened to you closer.   The email did come from her email address . So, I replied with condolences and thought it best to drop this note to let you all know of her passing. To my authors who have her on their invite list, you can now remove her name.
