Interesting read... It could have gone much further in depth, though. I always felt the first three A&M albums told a sort of story arc (I often compare it to my own life through the first few years of my Navy career), but never thought of Greatest Hits or Gunfight continuing the arc.

Those interested in learning more about Ochs are encouraged to read Marc Eliot's Death of a Rebel or Michael Schumaker's There But For Fortune: The Life of Phil Ochs.
