He was best known for his anti-Vietnam War anthem "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" and his performance at the Woodstock music festival. McDonald, who was the frontman of the band Country Joe and the Fish, died from complications of Parkinson's disease, as confirmed by his wife of 43 years, Kathy McDonald. His music and activism left a lasting impact on the era of protest and counterculture.
