The Lonely Troubadour

I've always enjoyed the songs of Phil Ochs, and so perked up when I heard of a new documentary about the man. It's called Phil Ochs - There But For Fortune and sounds like a great story. Ochs's one of those minor figures of an era that I find fascinating because their humanity usually tells me more about the time then does a history book. Anyways, I learned by this review that Ochs suffered from bipolar disorder, and, three years before he took his own life, was mugged so brutally that his voice was damaged. Imagine being a singer who loses his voice!
