"Be the first ones on your block
To have your boy come home in a box"

Country Joe McDonald died Saturday and alas, the relevance of his lyrics survive him.

"Well it's one, two, three, what are we fightin for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn--"

Watch The Swedish Connection | Netflix Official Site In this little-known true story, a Swedish bureaucrat becomes an unlikely war hero as he attempts to save Jewish lives during the darkest days of WWII.

Downhearted? Discouraged by the news? Need to watch "The Swedish Connection," a movie about bureaucratic resistance to WW2 Nazi shenanigans. Here's the link to it on Netflix: www.netflix.com/watch/817131...

Lyrics we sang while dancing around with root vegetables:

"And so we welcome Barbara Ruth
With a smile on every tooth
And an onion in each hand
Welcome to our naked land
Take your clothes off with us now
It doesn't matter, anyhow,
I am you and you are me
It's a Nude Age, lets be free!"
3/3

The author of a Sensuous Woman recommended greeting your husband at the door while carrying a pitcher of martinis and wearing nothing but Saran Wrap. We made do with raw onions and waxed paper and rubber bands. Our Bozo came in the front door and there we were. I can still sing the song we sang: 2/3

The Sensuous Woman - Wikipedia

Early 70s I lived in a house called Cosmic Plateau with a bunch of dudes. We called ourselves the Bozos. I read a bestseller titled The Sensuous Woman en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sen... and decided we would implement its teachings when one of our number returned from a long trip to her parents. 1/3

50 years ago I met Clayton Eshleman and he signed a copy of Caterpillar for me. Looking back I'm pretty sure that the main way I impressed him was by not being impressed.
