Here I am on the anniversary of our nation’s birth (“…conceived in liberty…” – Abe Lincoln) working on a Web site.

And listing to Phil Ochs.

More than a quarter century after his death (suicide), Ochs’ music is still fresh and very applicable to the politics of today.

Don’t think so? How’s about a couple of his song titles:

“I Ain’t Marching Anymore”

“Cops of the World” (referring to U.S.)

“We Seek No Wider War”

These songs were written during the Vietnam Era, but ring true now, as well.

Happy 4th. Don’t blow off your fingers with firecrackers…
