  • RIP Phil Ochs...one of the great forgotten geniuses of music...so much better than Dylan...and I think Dylan would agree.

  • i used to get laughed at for learning all these phil ochs songs. its great to here someone else knows about him and plays his music. greatest song ever written is "when in rome"( at least top 20)

  • @bhagenbdrinkin I had to laugh at your old comment. There are a million of us out there that think we are the only one who discovered Phil Ochs and saw the beauty and creativity in everything he wrote. We are alone together.

  • You can find it on the album "swing set"

  • @arsepoetica71 Sorry... I'm super interested in this time and all this music and I know that Dylan didn't agree. Dylan pretty much thought he was the shit and shat all over Phil and his music. Phil always looked up to him and Dylan burned him.

    But I agree, he's amazing. For me Dylan is a better poet and Phil's attributes are much more far reaching then simply his music.

  • ooo, anyone know where i can download this track, i cant find this version on any of her albums :(

  • @arsepoetica71 What? well perhaps you can ask Dylan when you get the chance. I like Phil but why even compare? In fact why compare Dylan to anyone? there simply is no comparison.

  • Ani sings this second best. Phil Ochs sang it the best and long may he rest in peace. I miss you so much Phil and I am glad to see other arists have realized how wonderful and talented he was.

  • @bbear8 Well, killing oneself at 35 kinda stops one's songwriting ability, don't it?

  • Dylan seems like a douche bag with the ego the size of his bank account, so I doubt that very much.

  • @arsepoetica71 no he wouldn't.

    I'll never knock ochs, but he's nowhere near as prolific as Dylan.

  • I really appreciate the footage from "Steal This Movie" here in this video.

    Abbie, and Phil are two major heros of mine along with Dorothy Day and UU Bruce Phillips.

    cheers,

    marco
