early in his career, gordon lightfoot covered "changes", a phil ochs song.
ochs was a protest-singer and activist from the 1960s. He also wrote some beautiful, introspective songs. a manic-depressive, his suicide in 1976 only ended what had become a hellish existence for him.
my question to anyone reading this is, have you heard of phil ochs, and if so, are you a fan??
gord was, indeed, a fan of phil's music, hence the cover. their styles are different, but they come from the same era...the '60s folk explosion.
any takers??
