Just switch up a few of the pictures. Same shit, different day.

(21,088 posts)I cut my folksinger teeth on his songs back in the mid-60s.
"I Ain't Marchin' Any More" was one of my favourites.
It's always the old to lead us to the war
It's always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all?

I think I Ain't Marching Anymore is my favorite
One of my favorite, "Draft Dodger Rag"
Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat
And my asthma's getting worse

(1,638 posts)They Might Be Giants did a cover of Och's One More Parade. I was listening to a Death Cab for Cutie song, and realized that it was really reminding me of Phil Ochs. Did a search, and found one of the members had recorded an Ochs cover album.
The stuff he made in Africa is on youtube, and pretty interesting:
