Don't think Phil Ochs was commanding "huge fees", since I saw him at Le Hibou coffeehouse in 1973, two years before he killed himself. There was his gold lame suit album, though, the one entitled "50 Fans Can't Be Wrong".

When i saw him he was complaining that all the campuses had been taken over by "spiritual assholes." Tragic that he died, but I'd have liked to hear what he would have written about the so-called New Age.
