I feel that what is going on in NYC and around the country right now would make Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, and anyone who believes in standing up for what you believe in, proud.

@FionMacCumhail I don't catch your meaning? What isn't comfortable? Im not where Phil is on the issue of armed revolution, which I think is a joke, and if you can't do it through legitimate means you might as well drop out, because I've seen a M1 fire 120mm round of grapeshot...so manning the barricades is a fool's errand in this day. I just find the attempt to connect OWS to the radicalism of the 60s, very tenuous and mostly romantic.

@Twistednerver I don't think those are very comfortable at all. In fact, I think it takes some getting used to if you're new to it. I guess we can agree to disagree though.

@FionMacCumhail PIHIL[Ochs]: I don’t know. That’s what I think about right now. I’ve always felt a contact with political reality from 1960 to 1968. But after Chicago I’m totally disoriented. I’m disoriented because the time has come for guns, and I’m not personally ready for guns. America’s such a violent country. The American revolution is going to be ridiculously bloody.
From an interview immediately after the 1968 Democratic Convention.

@FionMacCumhail taken to the extreme. Im not sure but there are few ways interpret wanting to have a revolutionary change in governing institutions, elseways. Jazz fingers and human mics are more comfortable dylan type revolution. Phil was a radical he had no more love for the 'soft middle class' than he had for the 1%.

@Twistednerver you mean with guns?
-
@FionMacCumhail Hell no it doesn't! Phil isn't talking about camping out and having a jazz finger democracy in this song. He's talking about real, no bullshit, revolution.

This song so perfectly fits the Occupy Wall Street movement. There comes a time when you need to stop complaining and just do something about your problems, be them political or social or economic. Occupy Wall Street teaches us not to give up.

Love Phil. Yes, they sure would be proud. But at 92, Pete Seeger's still with us and just marched and sang @ OWS! Inspiring.

Definitely relevant to what's going on today across the country. Maybe people are finally starting to wake up. I can't help but hear Phil's songs going through my head when I read the news! :)
