L R Mole Why did Dylan dis Phil Ochs? (95* d) RE: Why did Dylan dis Phil Ochs? 27 Jun 00


Well put, McG. Jersey Bruce said (most recently, I suppose),"Trust the art, not the artist." The universality of songs weathers circumstances and gossip, if they're good enough. Reference to Mr. Farina I suppose is from "Morgan the Pirate", from R& M's "Memories" album (which I think is cited here, somewhere. But who is lucky enough to not live among pirates? Similarly, "Crucifixion" is assumed to be about Jack Kennedy, which is certainly is on one level, but it might as well be about Phil. Or the original subject, for that matter.
