Still listening to a lot of Phil Ochs. Lately been revisiting Gunfight at Carnegie Hall. My father and mother saw this performance if I recall, and told a story of a woman in the crowd who was shouting "He has a suicide wish, he has a suicide wish!". I may be mixing that tale up with another performance they went to closer to the time of his death though. I always found his Merle Haggard cover interesting. Not a song Ochs would have had any agreement with in terms of lyrical content, but during the convert he warned the audience being musical bigots. I think there is also a strong sense of irony in the performance
Been listening to a lot of Deep Purple as well:
