Country Joe Turns Down Award
Country Joe McDonald, of Country Joe and the Fish, has turned down a music award that would require him to go to Vietnam to receive it.
"As a hippie protest songwriter, I could not exist in Vietnam today," said Mr. McDonald, lead singer of the psychedelic band Country Joe and the Fish. "Communism tends to be totalitarian, and I am not supportive of that," Mr. McDonald said while performing in Britain recently.
He also "warned that Washington cannot win the guerrilla wars in Afghanistan or Iraq."
