In concerts, Country Joe would lead the audience in the "Fish cheer": "Gimme an F! Gimme an I! Gimme an S! Gimme an H! What's that spell?'"

That of course is the clean version. :p

Gosh what is going on
So many celebrity deaths

I would Third. I remember Another World. I believe she played Sally Frame of the famous Frame family. And I saw her in the "In Crowd" with Donovan's son, Donovan Leitch, good music movie. Up there with "Joey" for 80's music movie gems. And I believe she filled in for Cindy in one of The Brady Bunch movies

Before the next celebrity passes away, I will rank my favorites of the Frame family from Another World:

1. Steve Frame, founder of Frame Construction. Kicked Rachel out of Alice's house
2. Janis Frame, stabbed Mitch Blake in the gut, in St.Croix, for betraying her for Rachel
3. Alice Frame, first wive of Steve Frame , went looney when Rachel took over her house
4. Rachel Frame, evil, tricked Steve into marrying her, Became a heroin after she married Mac Cory
5, Willis Frame, younger brother of Steve, lost the CEO of Frame Construction to Vic after Steve was sent to prison
6. Charlene Frame, married Russ until Russ found out her past as an escort
7. Angie Perini, madly in love with Willis Frame
8. Sally Frame, I don't think Jennifer Ruynon was the original Sally
9. Jaime Frame, became 30 years old within 6 years of being born on the show

I use to watch this with my Mother

As I mentioned recently, I was home with scarlet fever while I was in junior high, and I watched all my mom's soaps; but it was All My Children and General Hospital that I remember. All My Children had the Quartermanes. And then I continued watching General Hospital until I started college.

I would watch All My Children with my sister. She got really mad when Jenny died on the water ski. They moved the episode up an hour because of the Olympics and she missed it. I switched over to General Hospital after Another World was starting to tank. I made it just in time for the Ice Princess story with Luke and Laura. Then I switched to Guiding Light. It helped to share conversions with my wife. I guess she happen to watch it too. Although she wasn't my wife at the time. Just someone I was chasing around the dorm. But my own favorite was the Edge of Night. It was like a Dark Shadows with regular people.

Sorry to hear about your fever. That does not sound pleasant

Doug Sahm founded the Sir Douglas Quintet in 1964 in San Antonio. August "Augie" Meyers played organ, accordion and electric guitar – not all at the same time, of course. Among the band's hits are She's About A Mover, The Rains Came, Mendocino, Dynamite Woman and At The Crossroads.

San Antonio music legend Augie Meyers, co-founder of Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados, dies at 85

The Walker Brothers – Gary Leeds, Scott Engel and John Maus – had 10 top-ten hits and two number ones in the UK and many fans assumed the trio was British. They were from Los Angeles. Those two number ones, Make It Easy On Yourself (1965) and The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore (1966), were their only big hits in the United States.

Gary Leeds, last surviving member of the Walker Brothers, dies at 83

I grew up in Saskatchewan and he looks familiar. I watched a fair number of Telemiracles in my day. Second.
