My family went to his concert April 5, 1968 at Orchestra Hall, Chicago. Martin Luther King had been killed the night before. We took a bus. The theater was nearly empty because people were staying home, afraid of riots. Phil called us all down from the cheap seats to the main floor and gave a concert from the heart that will give me goosebumps till I die.

Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans At the end of the early British war The young land started growing The young blood started flowing But I ain't marchin' anymore For I've killed my share of Indians In a thousand different fights I was there at the Little Big Horn I heard many men lying I saw many more dying But I ain't marchin' anymore It's always the old to lead us to the war It's always the young to fall Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun Tell me is it worth it all For I stole California from the Mexican land Fought in the bloody Civil War Yes I even killed my brother And so many others And I ain't marchin' anymore For I marched to the battles of the German trench In a war that was bound to end all wars Oh I must have killed a million men And now they want me back again But I ain't marchin' anymore For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky Set off the mighty mushroom roar When I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning That I ain't marchin' anymore Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants, United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore, Call it "Peace" or call it "Treason, " Call it "Love" or call it "Reason, " But I ain't marchin' any more.

It's important to remember the 60's were probably the most liberal decade this country's seen. You didn't have the concentration of private power owning fewer, more right-wing, establishment, don't-rock-the-boat media outlets of today. You couldn't get a song like this on a major broadcast network. Just too fascist here. So, while many are afraid to allow any personal convictions jeopardize their careers on war-profiteering corporate outlets, the are a few artists who still speak truth to power. Just not many see it on corporate media, where they clearly shape perceptions to fit their agenda. Six corporations control over 90% of the media this country "consumes." You think they want anyone to interrupt their revenue streams? War's the most profitable business on the planet.

If any young people are reading this, I urge you not to throw your life away in Iraq for another unjust cause. The people there are not your enemy, just as the people of Vietnam were not our enemies. Our enemies are those who run our own government in the USA, both Democrats and Republicans. To hell with them. You get one life: live it well.

Phil Ochs is my favorite songwriter. I have no doubt about it. I've been listening to his music since I was in the womb. The first couple years of my life I listened to classical music and Phil Ochs on a CD player. It eventually broke (the player). And for give or take 9 years I completely forgot about him. My dad (a poet) starting singing Knock on the Door 2½ years back when I was 13. I remembered the name, Phil Ochs and I remembered that I liked him a lot. So I decided to take a trip down memory lane. First I listened to Knock on the Door, then I found this recording. This is what got me back into Phil Ochs. And I couldn't be more happy. Now I listen to him daily and I know by memory l the lyrics and chords to around 20 of his songs. I also try to get others hooked on with Mr. Ochs in my high school. No luck yet, but I'll keep on trying.

When I think about Phil Ochs, i think it's so sad that he did not realize how great he was. He had so much to offer music and protest art, and he let his declining popularity stop him from trying. I'm not goanna waste time saying he's better than Elvis and Bob Dylan, or their greater than he was. He aspired to much to reach their success and accomplishments that he didn't understand how great he was. He was original, he sang very upfront and straightforward. His work is inspiring but I need to learn from his story that I can't shit on myself for my shortcomings.

Hi Jim, Thanks for putting that (film :-)) up. I volunteered for Vietnam; got back to "The World" and did some solo protesting. Remaining seated at NY Nets and NY Mets games during the National Anthem while everyone else is standing was a rather strange, tense experience. I was wondering if I would be attacked. :-) I'm certainly not a pacifist, but the anti-war sentiment has helped me to relate to numerous situations concerning the possibility of wars over many decades. You don't have to be a pacifist or conscientious objector to factor the great American hero Phil Ochs' music into your consciousness. You'll probably be a better person for it. :-) I'm going to learn acoustic guitar, and practicing Phil Ochs and (early) Beatles songs are at the top of the list. Peace. :-)

Took me far too many years to look this up from Stephen King's "Hearts in Atlantis". Damn it's good.

That's how I learned about him too. Stephen King introduced me to a whole world of things I did not know about or never would have :)

I grew up with Phil Ochs. Just another folkie overshadowed by The man, who came before him.

Phil Ochs messages eternally have important topics to be preserved. For the real truth of his tragic death, read the book: "THE COVERT WAR AGAINST ROCK," by Alex Constantine www.ConstantineReport.com with research from Phil Ochs close friend, www.PaulKrassner.com and their team www.MaeBrussell.com Radio Shows and Anti-Fascist Research Bin team of dozens of journalist researcher activists including John Judge. Over 100 Musicians assassinated under Operation COINTELPRO Corporate KKKhristo-Fascists, War against Black Race Music, Democracy, Civil Rights, and the Government Robber Baron / Mafia Crime Syndicates, seizing the $catalogue of their slave kill. The murder, sabotage, and $looting, plus propaganda spies lies, vs John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Phil Ochs, The Byrds, 4 dozen Black Rhythm and Blues musicians, Mama Cass Elliot, Michael Hutchence, and too many others. Far more cases than this late 1990s book, are in articles www.ConstantineReport.com and some at my sites www.VictorSRMoore.2itb.com www.Facebook.com/Victor.Moore.921 See also "The U.S. vs John Lennon" documentary by Yoko Ono, with speech by www.PaulKrassner.com Rest in Peace John Lewis the Great Civil Rights Activist and Politician who just passed, and Bull Connor's KKK Terrorism he opposed to correct, is a topic back in the news with that history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Connor "The City Commissioner of Public Safety" was an expert Terrorist Endangerer. Bull Connor is a topic in the song title "Talking Birmingham Jam" by Phil Ochs. U.S. Military Veteran Phil Ochs song "I Ain't Marching Any More" is compatible with www.VeteransForPeace.org Read there General / Presidents George Washington, Grant, Eisenhower, and others quotes that, "Peace is The Only Way." Roman Fascism / Imperialism Empire is 2,500 Years Old, from The Caesar / Czar, Kaiser, Emperors, rulers of the Empire. Same word. New Kids Hitler & Mussolini were on marching orders from The Roman Catholic Vatican Government Empire of Torture Execution Inquisitions, to restore the Ancient Rome Empire of The Caesers, then Seizers the rest of the world.

@Florian D. its possible the attack where he lost his voice was a failed assassination attempt, bungled because the cia just hired some local thug to do it.

I had read that expression somewhere, "It's always the old to lead us to war, always the young to fall," but I didn't know they were song lyrics until today (forgive me, I'm young :-p). It's pretty moving, I wish the music these days had such meaningful lyrics :-/ .

My introduction to Phil Ochs was a flexi disc of an electric version of this song that came with an issue of Sing Out magazine. I understand that that version was also issued as a single in the UK. It was far more powerful than any acoustic version that I have heard. I do not suppose that anyone on here has that version? If you do I would love to hear from you.

It is high time more individuals lived "outside the box" and took a stand against that which is just wrong!
