Song of the Day Shelle Klein Houser 9/16 '14

'I Ain't Marchin' Anymore' by Phil Ochs.  Also, 'Santo Domingo', also 'Here's to the State of Mississippi', also 'Outside of a Small Circle of Friends' and so many more.

I am on a Phil Ochs kick because he was very passionate about human lives, about freedom, about not only his right to speak out, but our responsibility to speak out and beyond that, to act.  Where are the Phils of today?  The last one I remember was Bono, and that was a long time ago.

Check out the Coup. Boots Riley is the Phil Ochs of today.

also, Billy Bragg.

(btw - have you seen that Phil Ochs bio/documentary thing that came out 3-4 years ago?)

No, I have not. Is it on Netflix? I am so mad at Phil Ochs for killing himself before I could see him in concert.
Shelle Klein Houser
yeah, I know what you mean, but as the documentary makes clear, he was definitely not well by the time the end came.

glad you're digging him so much though - he's in my top 10 favorite musicians list. at one point, I'd have said top 3.

Also, I added a video link for 'Outside of a Small Circle of Friends', but I can't see it on the post in Google Chrome.

Shelle, can you give me the URL that didn't work? Thanks.

I pasted it in the video link and it just didn't show up in the post at all.

It's posting with a closing tag and I am not sure why. It doesn't have a closing tag on the YouTube page.
