One More Parade (Phil Ochs)

[Seasass]

Reminds me of May 1991. I was living in DC, and there was a huge post-Desert-Storm wargasm. People were claiming that the demon of Vietnam had finally been exorcised, and American troops could finally hold their heads up high again. One guy in my office (at the American Red Cross, ironically), was prancing around whistling Civil War ditties. Wish I had known this song then; I would have belted it out.

In the video response I submitted, pay particular attention to two men standing behing two Dallas Police Officers ( 1 minute 31 seconds) one of the men is Phil Ochs legendary folk singer who was sent to Dallas as an observer. There is another You Tube video called TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY that will support this film. Phil Ochs was later found dead of an apparent hanging suicide. I wonder.....

Phil Ochs was well documented as struggling with clinical depression, and had Bi-Polar disorder, which ran in his famiy, and his mental health went through a noted decline in his final years. Just because he was outspoken it doesn't really lend itself to conspiracy theories.

I wonder what kind of songs Ochs would write today. Powerful stuff.
