And our teacher was probably 24. She told us about Country Joe and the Fish. Such a weird name for a 10 year old to hear. <br /><br />We were under the influence of our parents then. It seemed wrong, somehow. And saying aloud, the word "damn" was notorious. We could get our mouths washed out with soap.<br /><br />The world was crazy all of a sudden. Going from watching John Wayne in "The Green Beret" to hearing Country Joe.george tannenbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974259094860905139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-26222326078965711892011-05-06T04:34:02.061-04:002011-05-06T04:34:02.061-04:00George,
