"I have always said that hearing "912 Greens St." in the 60's is one of the reasons I now live in New Orleans. It was just so evocative."

"Utah Phillips once said to me that Jack was the best flatpicker in the country. Not because he played the most notes, but because every note he played was exactly where it was supposed to be."

Ramblin' With Jack Elliott -- Austin, Texas 1972
Jack Elliott is an extremely rare individual. As troubadours go, he is a legend. As a human being, he is an enigma.

"Lovely piece on Phil, Sandy, many thanks.
One quibble, on the inevitable Dylan/Ochs disagreements. No question Bob behaved poorly to Phil early on (kicking him out of the limo was definitely uncool), but they later reconciled, and my feeling is that…"

The Legacy of Phil Ochs

Reading Elvis
by Sandy Carter
April 1999
In the last two decades, the image of Elvis Presley has been so thoroughly obfuscated by myth and parody, it is near impossible to recall his life and music without bringing to mind the ridiculous and tragic figure he had become by the time of his death.
