GUEST,Jim There but for fortune/blowin in the wind (23) RE: There but for fortune/blowin in the wind 23 Oct 08

Jackinthebox said,"Any one else think that Phil Ochs' there but for fortune is in spite of the relative obscurity of both the song, and the songwriter, is actually a vastly superior song to Bob Dylans blowing in the wind? "

I don't think of the song (There...Fortune) or the singer/songwriter as being "relatively obscure". Anyone who was a folky in Phil's heyday was certainly aware of him and definitely aware of this song.
It got nearly as much play as Blowin' In The Wind in the sixties.
