297,835 views since Jan 17, 2014 – My brother, a friend and I, saw Phil Ochs in Greenwich Village in 1964. We each bought an album from him. In 1977 I picked up a woman hitchhiking across the Golden Gate Bridge. She was Phil’s ex-wife, and I guess sort of his ex-widow, and she gave me one piece of information. She said that obviously Phil was a talent. However their friend named Bob Dylan would “just pull songs out of the air” seemingly with no effort. — I really miss these kinds of song that raise consciousness of people. Songs that inspires social and political change. They really bloomed in the 1970s. Wish we can more songs like these today.
