Boy, that brings back memories. I still have some cassettes of Phil Ochs.

His song “Love Me, I’m a Liberal” is still relevant today.

So he wrote a few protest songs, and the FBI had multiple agents investigating him.

The Power and the Glory

A patriotic song by Phil Ochs - the original version with the "controversial" last verse. Other versions omit the last verse. No doubt Ochs, being a pinko, meant that last verse differently than I take it today, but doesn't it fit what we're facing now?

He wrote some songs that had the FBI looking at him - what makes him different than the average conservative patriot that posts on social media these days?

I saw him in 1971 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. His rock n roll period. I think he was struggling with depression around that time. I really liked his album “Pleasure of the Harbor”.

Oh, give me a break: the FBI had excellent information on all of the "subversive radicals" and everything they were doing and they never lifted a finger against any of them.

They just built up their files, watched what the Left was doing, collected their paychecks and went home.

Useless.
