Long live Phil Ochs! What a song. Few of you understand it. Even fewer know that he played this song live in time square in the height if the vietnam war. One million people in attendance. Completely erased from history. That's how great phil was I'm his time.

Phil wrote with such depth and courage... and he sang out with all his heart. Unfortunately his life was too short (and Sad).

Just found this terrific version. Phil's vocal is strong. Where was this recorded? Is there a whole concert? Phil was an idol of mine in the 60's and time has not dimmed that.It's great that with KZitem Phil gets the play that he couldn't on the radio. Thanks.

I think it's from Sweden 1968, right after the RFK assassination. It seems he was so desillusioned at that point that he contemplated discarding his american citizenship and leave the country for good.

But of course the answer is Bob WAS a folk singer, until about 1965. I don't think you can really classify Masters of War and Boots of Spanish Leather, and other early Dylan, as pop.

Bullshit. Phil was never a Communist. He was a left-wing democratic socialist...the difference between that and being a Communist is the difference between the students in Tienenman Square(most of whom wanted socialism without dictatorship)and the bitter old Stalinist types who had then, and thousands of others, slaughtered in Beijing. Phil was never against democracy...he was against segregation and inequality. You didn't have to back the war in Vietnam to be for democracy.

Spoken like a true Cold Warrior, who thinks the real dividing line is between the human race and "communists." It is true that Phil Ochs never worshipped Stalin, but he Also never let stalinophobia become his guiding principle. What Phil thought about those who did is cl;ear enough from "Love me, I'm a liberal": kzitem.info/news/bejne/1mtota5jbmaHjKw

Depression is one of the cruelest of all the fatal diseases not yet cured. Telling a person suffering from it to just la-di-da buck up and quit drinking is utterly despicable. *****
