What Are We Fightin For? by Country Joe McDonald, Sung at Woodstock, 1969

Note: Listener discretion advised. This video does contain some rough language. Bt this video not only gives a glimpse of Woodstock but of the tremendous anger this generation had at the senseless deaths - 500,000 senseless deaths - in Vietnam. And every one of those deaths can be laid at the food of the Deep State - the same Deep State that is trying to take down President Trump!
