Apparently Phil Ochs wrote this song after watching a John Wayne movie (The Long Voyage Home). Never seen it, but this song makes me want to watch it.
People hate on this "overly-orchestrated" song, but it was exactly what I needed to hear this morning, so I'm uploading it.
And fuck all ye h8rz.

@SteverinoCanEat Dylan has always been a user is why his servants have to use porta potties that stink..Phil was true but a socialist so obviously he didn't understand humanity..not sorry one's dead and the other washed up..

@ccarterkk its all over it, not under it
-
There is a good song buried under all that instrumentation somewhere.

beautiful

@milnerad I echo every sentiment, and if you're still in search of it, I believe that the piano version to which you refer can be found on the album Gunfight At Carnegie Hall, Phil's 'Royal Albert Hall' moment, It's out of print, I think, but can be downloaded from iTunes/Amazon, amongst others...

This is a truly beautiful recording. I've heard it before, but forgot how good it is. Thanks for reminding me.
