Quont's Question 20: What is your favorite song?
My favorite song is "Changes" by Phil Ochs. If you're unfamiliar with it, there is a short video clip of Phil below, though not the entire song unfortunately.
If you want to hear the entire song, go here. The young man plays it fairly well, though he is not the singer Phil was.
Phil took his own life in 1976, a victim of depression and alcoholism. During his career, which spanned the '60s and early '70s, he wrote some of the most poignant and evocative songs ever to arise from the peace-and-protest folk scene. I miss him.
