Mr.Burt and Monkey boy, You can ramble on about how much balls it takes to commit suicide and I'll answer about how much brains it takes to not commit suicide.A horrible act against a beautiful life,irrational and irreverent,illogical and unnecessary.Love,money,adolescence,drugs,religious belief or whatever bullshit reason one concocts to do the deed is a waste and a crying shame.That is my opinion and if you don't like it...too fucking bad.

How a man who believed in non-violence,peace and love hypocritically take his own life is a fucking mystery to me...I guess alcohol is the devil's brew...

An ironic variation on this song with yesterday's announcement that the war in Afghanistan is now over.But it is not.

> Lots of explanations for Ochs to hate Vietnamyes because like all our wars since then it was a morally reprehensible, disingenuous holocaust. for one

Phil wrote with such depth and courage... and he sang out with all his heart. Unfortunately his life was too short (and Sad).

LMFAO! Nice try jackass but that gaff clearly belongs to your hero Nobama and his incompetence, but please blame it on your pseudo intellectal fantasies of "Empires" & "regimes" and how the Gov is evil unless it is handing you free stuff like food stamps & healthcare which you're the first in line for.

Communism and democracy are not mutually exclusive, in fact if you actually read the Manifesto, a truly Communist state must be "dictated by the proletarian" in other words it should be a democracy otherwise it is not true Communism.

I'm opposed to self absorbed, self righteous, spoiled POS hippies who enjoy the benefits that this country provideds, yet do nothing to earn them, and all they can do is complain that they aren't getting enough. And even my Jewish GF finds your Barrabbas assinine & offensive.

I was fortunate enough to meet Phil Ochs when he introduced this song publicly with his own little march through Greenwich Village from Washington Square Park.

Bullshit. Phil was never a Communist. He was a left-wing democratic socialist...the difference between that and being a Communist is the difference between the students in Tienenman Square(most of whom wanted socialism without dictatorship)and the bitter old Stalinist types who had then, and thousands of others, slaughtered in Beijing. Phil was never against democracy...he was against segregation and inequality. You didn't have to back the war in Vietnam to be for democracy.

You think that people should burn in hell for opposing war and wanting everybody to have a basically decent standard of life? I'm guessing you'd have shouted for Barabbas, then.
