A Favorite Song

This is one of my favorite songs by the great Phil Ochs, who pretty much epitomized the mixing of personal and political concerns back in the turbulent sixties. This one in particular was part of his response to the riots during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago (note the date on the gravestone on the album cover in the video). I wish he were still around today...
