Though I may not agree with Matt B. (above) re: Pete Seeger and surely do agree with him re: Dylan I have to say that Phil Ochs, to me, got to the heart of a matter and expressed it perfectly in song. In addition he was able to write some beautiful pieces of a non-political nature (Flower Lady, Changes, etc;). He was NOT as Dylan referred to him---a reporter. He was a wonderful writer who also knew how to report things in an immediate and straighforward manner that could be understood by most people.
