[7] Sensing the band's potential, Denson assumed management control, and was responsible for coining the group's name—a reference to Josef Stalin and to Mao Zedong's description of revolutionaries as "the fish who swim in the sea of the people". [2] McDonald, who had recording experience, began utilizing Arhoolie Recording Studios to record four songs split equally between the band and a local folk musician, Peter Krug. It was during this time at Arhoolie Records that Country Joe and the Fish's folk sound and political protest prowess—an amalgam of their own Guthrie-influenced material and their folk music roots—began to emerge. The band's side of the EP featured two originals by McDonald, an acoustic version of " I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag", and "Superbird". [5] [8] According to McDonald, "The Fish Cheer" was written in 30 minutes, with a purpose of expressing satiric and dark commentary on the US's involvement in the Vietnam War. [9] In October 1965, 100 copies of the EP, titled Rag Baby Talking Issue No. 1, were distributed on McDonald's independent label at a Teach-in in UC Berkeley and underground shops selling Rag Baby magazine.

The opening chapter takes place after the main action in the book, and sees two bad actors walking away from a fire they’ve set. Their conversation turns to the bodies they’ve left behind, and one is revealed to be that of someone from Slough House. From the start we know someone is going to die, but Herron doesn’t reveal who until the very end but you know what whoever it is, it will leave you upset. I struggle to remember a series of books where I have cared about the characters so much. A drop, in spook parlance, is the passing on of secret information. It’s also what happens just before you hit the ground.
