Great update of his own song. Be sure to check out the Facebook group Celebrating Phil Ochs' 75th Birthday and the website Celebrating Phil Ochs.

I'll reiterate what I've said publicly and privately countless times: Ochs is a genius.

Can you imagine what Phil would sing about OBAMA???    I'd give a million to have Phil back and sing us a song about the state of our country today

I was 12 when Richard Nixon was elected President.  I was 18 - and draft age - when he was deposed. I remember this song as the greatest protest against political protest ever.  Phil Ochs is one of my favorite folkies.

why not make a version of this for Obama, he's funding foreign wars and killing with drones and wants to kill the Constitution

Alex Harvey

This sounds like a faster, more pissed off version of "Here's to the State of Mississippi"

Rachel Zack

In the lyric sheet for this song, Ochs subtitled it "The Whore Is Over".

LordOrlock

You can swap pretty much every president since Nixon (besides maybe Carter?) in here and it still fits perfectly

TheIpadkiller

Here's to the state of Barack Obama! Just substitute Barack Obama every time you hear Richard Nixon and the song is so eerily spot on!

Vote for WAR!!!! Vote REPUBLICAN!!!

Changing Paul Ryan for Nixon would be far more appropriate. What have the Republicans ever done to help the middle class?

Ted Skotnicki

As horrible as Nixon was he was more concerned with working people far more than Obama or Clinton. I think changing Obama for Nixon and the song is as appropriate now as it was 40 years ago. God help us!

This brings back memories:I first heard Phil make this change to the lyrics of "Here's to the State of Mississippi" at a Vietnam protest in Washington in the Spring of 1970. Phil Ochs always fought the good fight, and great honor is due to his memory. As for Richard Nixon, may he rot in Hell. I'm sure that, in the last month, he's had to move over to make room for Margaret Thatcher.

Egad we have a problem I could replace Margaret Thatcher in the theme but it's such a great tune I can't.

Well, it was actually Khrushchev who solved the Cuban missile crisis, and Kennedy attacked as many countries as Bush did. Anything about the Gore administration is obviously speculative, but he was firmly on the corporate right wing of the Democratic Party, so..
