Comment:

Nobel-winning author Albert Camus once suggested that, in light of our living in an absurd universe, the only question worth considering was whether to go on. Folksinger Phil Ochs fearlessly — sometimes furiously — confronted his era's fundamental absurdities: Vietnam, the persecution of African-Americans, the nuclear arms race. Despite describing himself as a "singing journalist," he had a poet's soul, and man's inhumanity ate at him like acid. On top of that, he never managed to escape from Bob Dylan's massive shadow. But Ochs was no clone; his hard-wired sense of irony distanced himself from his peers, and — for a while, at least — from his pain. After a recording career that lasted less than a decade, Ochs took his own life, trying to put his demons to rest, though they still work their evil magic in the spaces between the words he set down for us all to hear.
