I have been a Phil Ochs fans for as long as I can remember. I admit to deriving pleasure from how young people on YouTube are resurrecting his lyric to shine light on the current political malaise. Phil’s words are as timely today as when they were written. For that my pleasure is tinged with guilt. Phil committed suicide in 1976 because he said no one was listening. So please listen. Please internalize the message this time and let’s end all this madness before one more child dies.
