Look outside the window
There's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes
And now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops
And try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun
I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Forty years ago on April 9, 1976, Phil Ochs silenced one of America’s sharpest, wittiest, angriest, most melodious voices by killing himself. *** |

For historical reasons, it behooves me
to provide a link to Love Me, I'm a Liberal.
We apologize to the source of the Phil Ochs essay.
Their journalism is extraordinarily perceptive
but their name is too post-9/11 for our tastes.
The source is the skeletal remains of NEWSWEEK Magazine.
