In honor of the Saints playing a shitty excuse for a football game, here is a shitty excuse for a non-Phish post:

Phil Ochs on Come, Read To Me a Poem (April 12, 1967)



Phil Ochs was a talented folk singer-songwriter of the period, probably second only to Dylan. Come, Read To Me a Poem was apparently a public TV show dedicated to that particular art form. This being the '60s, there is a lot of rock-lyrics-are-poetry talk. The interview section of the tape is actually fairly interesting for Ochs' discussion of the songwriting process.



If you like this sort of thing you might also like the Ochs version of Poe's "The Bells".

Guitarists may want to watch this videotaped interview with the late Gene Parsons (no relation to Gram) detailing how he and Clarence White devised the Stringbender/B-Bender in 1967.
