I've seen the documentary and plan on reviewing it. I'll link to this group at the bottom of my review.

Somebody, I forget who, sent a tweet a while back mentioning one of the essays on this group.  I was always a big Phil Ochs fan and played his music when I was a disc jockey, so I checked it out and signed up.  I'd be happy to send a tweet myself about the group.  What angle can we pursue-- as in, you only get 140 characters, so what pithy thing can I say to get people to join us?

I still say most people have no clue this group exists.  Perhaps it's time for somebody to tweet about it-- that's how I found you in the first place.

50 phil ochs fans aren't wrong

Someone should post about this group to Facebook! I was being interviewed earlier today, and I was discussing how radio has changed. Back in Phil's day, we could actually play protest songs-- in fact, we were expected to. These days, there is such fear of offending advertisers or corporate owners-- a handful of ultra-conservative owners dominate the industry, and no matter what your politics, that isn't good for democracy, nor for music. I can speak first hand about how anti-war protest songs were barred from a number of stations in the run-up to the Iraq War. But during the Vietnam era, those of us in Album Rock (or progressive rock, as it was called back then), not only took a stand but played all kinds of protest songs. And Phil's music was often what many of us played... I wonder what he'd make of today's media landscape.
