Thomo, you mock what you don't know. Freedom Riders & those associated with them endured beatings, arrests, attempts to incinerate them, & even lynchings (including James Chaney, Andrew Goodman & Michael Schwerner, murdered 1964 June 21 in Mississippi) -- demonstrating for the end of segregation. They're heroes of humankind though it may take another 100 years to admit.

Thomo, maybe you need to pay closer attention to the lessons in the history class. Granted it's not one of Phil Ochs' best songs, but the story it tells is important, and historically significant :)

Most of Phil's music is great, however this isn't one of his better tunes.

I've never heard this before. Sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. Thank you very much.
