They both played the John Sinclair rally in 1972. Was this around then? John on dobro. Thanks for the posting!

The 4 greatest songwriters together for the only time in history: John Lennon, Phil Ochs .. and Neil Young took a coffee break and Paul Westerberg of the Replacements was in the audience. I don't consider Dylan as great as Ochs; this is not a strong song by him but one of his last decent songs. RIP.

AMAZING!!!!! I met Phil Ochs in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969 (prior to the March On Washington) near the OSU campus during a 'Moratorium Against The Vietnam War' meeting (of which I was a member) before going to the 'March On Washington, November 13 - 15, 1969). Black armbands with a white dove worn on our left upper arms...as that was our 'flag of protest'. It cost me all of sixteen dollars for a round trip ticket via Greyhound Bus Lines from Columbus, Ohio, to Washington, D.C., and back, but of course!He was special then....still is...and will ever be. Memories are priceless.P.S. My birthday is November 15th. What a helluva birthday present! I'll never forget that day...teargassed and chased by the cops, too, when they broke up the 'party' at the Washington Monument that night!

This is remarkable. I never heard anyone refer to this in the biographies of Ochs.

Lennon is one of the great wisecrackers of all ages. A master of breaking balls. A superb human.

Jared M. Feldschreiber

Wow, what wonderful audio and discussion!

Every man makes his choice of friends on his own terms and the experiences he has therein, passing judgement on one while knowing the other hardly bothered with his older son is kind of pot kettle black!!

Chris Hill

Who is the third voice? Hoffmann?

Okie dokie

very unusual musician...he had such a talent for fusing political issues with folk music in a hard, grainy manner with just a bit humor and sarcasm. None of his piers could do it in the same way. A lot of people didn't want to hear about it in the lyrics of their music so I suppose that's why he never rose to huge fame. He didn't sing love songs..he sang about issues that affected everybody.

It seems that Dylan wrapped up both of these oh-so-talented men (especially true of Ochs) in one neat little bloody rolled up package. "Is there anybody here" who even thinks of what Dylan was trying to accomplish in "Tempest?"

Whaaat.Two favourite lyricists.

I think a new generation is going to discover Phil's greatness. Just waiting for the right moment.

wow, had no idea lennon and ochs hung out together; makes you love lennon even more, and sad about dylan's unneccessary attitude.

The two greats. John Lennon and Phil Ochs.

Too many artists today are sell-outs with gold chains--they should ring chains for justice and freedom for the working poor and the disappearing middle-class.

Gordon Dills

This is awesome. I like a lot of music, but no artist has moved me by their art more than these two!
