Review of Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune (2011) by Cassandra T — 21 Mar 2011

A somber, heartbreaking film that renders the artist, his stinging lyrics, and his talent in helpful historical context. The absurdities of the Vietnam-era are the prism through which we view Ochs' ego, his melancholic path to alcoholism, depression and eventual suicide.

Live while you're here. He was wrong to think there would be no place in the world for him where he'd belong when he's gone.
