To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In regard to Andrew Jamison's article about Country Joe and the Fish in last Saturday's Crimson, I feel that it is necessary to dispel an untruth arising from Mr. Jamison's irresponsible reporting. Mr. Jamison quoted Country Joe admitting his homosexuality and neglected to account for the context in which it was said. The quote in question was originally directed to me in a conversation on the night of March 8 at the Psychedelic Supermarket, a conversation which Mr. Jamison apparently misconstrued. I had asked Country Joe what his reaction was to a fundamentalist minister's charge that rock music was an attempt to destroy the sanctity of marriage. He facetiously agreed with the minister and said that rock had turned him into a faggot. The fact is that Country Joe is married and that his wife is expecting a child. Ken Emerson
