Joel Landy really does Phil Ochs justice. Joel is a true marcher on the front lines of songs of freedom. With Peoples Music Network, Joel and other singer/songwriters, poets, etc.from around the country, bringing music with social activism into their communities. Peace!

Word. like Van Gogh there may have been some serious mental stuff afoot here. Only now we can diagnose and medicate properly. I don't hold him up as a hero for how he died, He's a hero to me because of the people he helped and the beautiful thoughtful music he brought while he lived.

Now I don't know for sure, of course, but I'd guess Phil at the time may have considered it a mercy killing. Murder is murder, and judge if you must, but none of us can every really know the depth of someone else's pain.

LOL! It's true. Always with that pompadour, although it got a big shaggy in the 70's. I think Phil was somewhat anti-counter culture in a way and his hair was symbolic of that.

Hm yes... but if only they didnt die young so much by their own hands... we should not make heroes of those who commit suicide, in spite of the fact i love ochs cobain and others.. suicide is one of the most selfish acts a human can commit.

I hope you didn't dream about the day Marvin Gaye and Phil Ochs got married! (They Might Be Giants)
