In 2008, we invited Country Joe McDonald to give a concert in the University of Michigan Library as part of an exhibition: The Whole World Was Watching: Protest and Revolution in 1968. It was a raucous and rowdy concert the likes of which the Library hasn't seen since. Hundreds of people attended, cops showed up (no arrests were made) and some people were turned away at the door to avoid a visit from the fire marshall. Country Joe Presente!
