"We'll teach you how to spot 'em in the cities or the sticks.
For even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks.
The CIA's subversive, and so's the FCC.
There's no one left but thee and we, and we're not sure of thee."

The correct answer is 'The John Birch Society'
Three Gonzaga University students founded the Chad Mitchell Trio in 1958, the same year that RCA introduced its stereo long-playing albums. The group included or was backed by a number of performers who had success apart from the trio. On the "The Chad Mitchell Trio at The Bitter End" album cover, standing behind the three seated members of the trio, a guitarist can be seen - Jim McGuinn, who would gain fame as a guitarist for and co-founder of the Byrds. A second guitarist, Fred Hellerman, had played in Pete Seeger's group, the Weavers. The bass player for that evening, Bill Lee, also played with such notable folk artists as Judy Collins, Gordon Lightfoot, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.
In the early 60s, a young man who would have ample Top 40 success as a solo artist idolized the Chad Mitchell Trio. When Chad Mitchell bowed out in 1965, this young man replaced him. A songwriter, the new member of the Trio wrote "Leaving On A Jet Plane", which Peter Paul and Mary took to #12 on the Billboard top 100 for 1969. In 1969, John Denver left the Chad Mitchell Trio to pursue his solo career.
In 1963 singer-guitarist Michael Johnson earned an 11 cent royalty check for his first single, which sold 23 copies. Joining the Chad Mitchell Trio in 1967, Johnson stayed one year. Johnson and Denver co-authored a song "Circus" that was recorded by Mary Travers of Peter Paul and Mary. In 1978 Michael Johnson ultimately resumed a solo career, recording "Bluer Than Blue", which became a Billboard #1 song.
In 1962, the Chad Mitchell Trio's recording company scuttled a significant opportunity for the group to achieve true commercial success. Their manager came into possession of a demo tape by a little known songwriter named Bob Dylan. On hearing the song, the three wished to record it as a single or at least as a track on their next album, but Kapp records was adamantly opposed. Instead, the song passed to Peter Paul and Mary who made a #2 hit out of "Blowin' In The Wind".
