Phil was a great political voice, not as poetic as Dylan in my mind. Still, I can remember all the words to draft dodger's rag. ha ha. Phil had a style and subtle stage charisma that captivated. I remember him well.
That time in history is so easily relived through the music because people were actively voicing their stand/feelings ... we can still feel the world of that period through their lyrics. Musicians like Dylan and Ochs were masters of voicing thoughts that encumbered us all at that point.
This weekend I was at the crossroads film festival in Jackson,MS and I saw the film about B. Dylan 'Im Not There' its kind of an unconventional journey into the life and times of Dylan...six actors play Dylan. You might find it entertaining, see it if you can. I loved it and so did my 17 year old daughter.
