Phil Ochs

[Simas]

Couldnt recall seeing a Phil Ochs thread on here so here goes.

Cliff notes are he was a folk/protest singer lauded by Bob Dylan among others. Went electric and his career took a dive. He became bi-polar and an alcoholic. He sustained damage to his vocal cords during a mugging in Africa further exacerbating his mental problems. On April 9, 1976 he hanged himself.

Really though wiki him, alot of interesting stuff.





This is a video some kids made which is lame, but couldnt find the song anywhere else.
