Thread Name: I just discovered Phil Och's music
Subject: RE: I just discovered Phil Och's music
Since no one else has brought it up I will. Phil Ochs should, among everything else, be remembered for a nasty and entirely gratuitous anti-lesbian remark which became part of his live recording of Love Me, I'm a Liberal. This is taken verbatim from the LP: I go to civil rights rallies, I put down the old D.A.R. Spoken: D.A.R. That's the Dykes of the American Revolution ! That wasn't the only instance. In one of his publicity photographs, Phil shows himself reading a mock-up of a supermarket tabloid newspaper with the headine reading I WAS RAPED BY DYKES ON BIKES! Could be that Phil had some hang-ups, or maybe fantasies!
