He was good friends with one o my psych mentors, Jack McCloskey, and popped up a lot in my early RM days. I think the last time I saw him was at Jack’s wake in 96. They were both staunch activists cor veterans rights and connected to Swords to Plowshares. 

Joe was kind of a one-hit wonder with his Fixing2Die protest song. Man, do we even categorize songs as protest anymore? But he had a humble stage presence and that song was anthemic. Still is. Just gotta swap Vietnam with Iran in the lyrics. I always enjoyed hearing him sing it.
