One of those songs that stick in your mind

I graduated from high school and one week later I got my draft notice; I was still in the draft before they came up with the lottery or all that other crap.

Well Woodstock happened in 1969 and one of the “protest songs” was song by Country Joe and the Fish. In the late 60's and early 70's there where many protest song.

Just had to share it with you...

I've heard that song many times. I was too young to understand when it was all happening. I guess that makes me very lucky.

You must be a Case or Horlick Grad. Hale to Thee Park High. OOP'S I always forget about Lutheran, and St. Cat's.

I watched a special on Woodstock yesterday on History. It was fun to see It again. I think It was August 18, 1969

I was in the first draft lottery and got a high number (200-something), stayed 1-A for a year, and they never got to me.

I distinctly remember seeing the movie Woodstock because some buddies and I spent the day at Lake Geneva and the pain from sunburn kicked in during the movie. Yeow!

Huck "Gimme an F" was the lead in to this one.

I guess that makes me very lucky.
KK, Yes you were young lady!

Toad...Laug'in I went to Luthern. That's why I kept singing that song, I saw the same. Woodstock Then and Now.

Orbs, I had to be retested 5 times, twice in Milwaukee then they sent me a letter every couple months to go to my personal doc to have my blood pressure and weight checked, I was 7 pounds over weight. The last time the Doc got pissed and said just drop off the letter I'll take care of it...about a month later I was reclassified from 1-A to 4-F...women and children first :)
