I recently heard a song from Bob Dylan that I liked. On the other hand I've been listening to Phil Ochs song I have loved for years. Is one better than the other? Maybe, maybe not. Thats only an opinion of course.

The singer songwriter's job is to communicate. And if you can't understand the words the singer is singing then communication ain't happening.

With Phil I always felt I was getting the heart and soul of the man. With Dylan, not on every song but on many, I felt he was making fun of my lack of social sophistication by being cryptic and marble-mouthed. That all being said I felt that Nashville Skyline was brilliant and 50 Phil Ochs fans was not.

Oh well.
