This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Philip David "Phil" Ochs (1940-1976) was an American singer-songwriter, famous for his Protest Songs, or "topical songs", as he liked to call them. He was the most active during The Sixties, when he wrote hundreds of songs, covering many topics, such as the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement and labor rights. After the events of 1968 (the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the police riot in Chicago, and the election of Richard Nixon) he became increasingly disillusioned and depressed. By the mid-'70s, he had serious mental problems, and the eventually hanged himself in 1976. |
