This song is more appropriate than ever. Country Joe McDonald is a Berkeley local and actually attends the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, where Sarah and I met and used to be members (we're now members of a different UU church). I'll reprint the famous chorus here:
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. 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.
Here he is at Woodstock singing the song:
