Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune

documentary

Well done doc on the great folk/protest singer. He and Dylan provided the background music for our generation's attempt to make this a better world. We failed and he was unable to accept that, fell into a bottle and ended up a suicide.

If he had lived until today he would be even more despairing watching as the greedy reactionaries he struggled against took power and led us into a time of endless war, vast wealth for the few and little hope for the working class.

I ain't marchin anymore either.
