Although I never liked his music in the 60's, I've gone back and listen to his music and find myself liking him today. His songs really do have meaning although sometimes a bit obscure.I saw Dylan in concert at the Universal Ampitheatre and he was awesome!I really hated Dylan back in 60's. I considered him the worst singer of his time. Recently I saw a movie, "Don't Look Back" which was a documentary of a Dylan and Baez on concert tour. I listened to some of his songs and did a bit of research and realized he's basically a poet without much of voice but his songs and style of singing complement each other but to me his voice is sort of like a fingernail drug across a blackboard. As a person, he comes across as immature, rude, and not much of a personality. Baez comes across as not being particular smart and even a bit goofy but when she starts to sing it's hard to believe that's really her voice. I remember some Ochs songs but I never really followed his career. Didn't he die fairly young.i saw a documentary about the democrat convention in 69 it said that Ochs was the only guy to actually show up and do what he does everyone else had an excuse as to why they could not......Ochs thought Dylan was a phony,there is a story they told as to why he thought that.....and Ochs because of what he heard with his own ears at that conv.from the democrat "leaders" then thought the democrats were not what they were saying they were.....and Bobby Kennedy asked him to fly with him to wherever he was on his way to because he was starting to think that also of the democrats.....but he was killed like week a later......I agree he was really good and he wrote a log of songs. To me, the best folk singers to come out of that era were Joan Baez and John Denver, very different styles but great folk singers.i always felt Phil Ochs was the best anti-war singer out there....What I found interesting was the revival of folk music in the 60s. By the early 60's the Kingston Trio, The Weavers, Odetta, and other folk singers were slipping. Then the War cranked up and breathed new life into Folk with smash hit after hit by Simon & Garfunkel, Bod Dylan, John Denver, The Highwayman, ect.
