Green Man	That's what I loved about Phil Ochs - he was neither a liberal nor a Republican. However the media thought he was leftist folk singer and so the did the establishment. Not many people caught the irony in the song Love me, I'm a Liberal. Iron Lady is fantastic, especially this lyric - The finest lawyers fees are paid and a rich man never died upon the chair. Like many people he protested against Nam which was a pointless war, which was started by a false flag operation.
JK2006	The hugely talented writer and singer in the 60s/70s was Phil Ochs - here in a photo with Buffy Saint Marie and Sean Cassidy (David's brother). Phil stayed with me when he visited London in 1970 or 71. I showed him around town and remember in Charles Dickens' house saying to him "this is all very well Phil but I need a pseudonym for the new track". "Call yourself The WEathermen", he replied. "It will irritate the hell out of them if their name is stolen by a little pop hit". The Weathermen were at the time a very serious group of anarchists which bombed people. My record sold millions. www.kingofhits.co.uk/component/option,co...,64/?g2_itemId=17555
