The Sheila Variations

Oh god...I was just thinking about that song that Billy Bragg wrote about Phil that I used to listen to a lot in high school. "Says I to Phil, you're ten years dead. I never died said he..."

Phil is now thirty years dead. That makes me feel old.

Dearest: Phil Ochs--much to your mother's chagrin, my favorite album in the 60s was an anti-war [Vietnam of course] Ochs album--I now forget which one. He was authentic. love, dad

Dad - ha!! Funny, I don't remember him being among the records of yours that we listened to as kids (uhm - The Raunch Hands?? what???)

Mmmm, kinda sexy.
