Regarding Phil's sad end, I have a friend who was pretty close, he said, to Phil. From the sound of it, I guess my friend and Phil used to go out drinking together and get pretty sloshed. My friend went to AA, and Phil didn't. I don't think my friend has ever forgiven Phil for that. Too bad, for both of 'em.

Some of my favorite Phil Ochs songs are

What's That I Hear?

Draft Dodger Rag

I Ain't Marching Anymore

Outside a Small Circle of Friends

One I never did quite understand is No More Songs. I don't quite understand what the apology was all about.
