Theme: Songs of Phil Ochs (1940-1976).

This week marks the 50th anniversary of Phil Ochs's death by suicide at 
age 36 is this week on April 9.

Phil - who struggled with bipolar disorder - was one of the greatest 
songwriters of the folk revival. He was particularly noted for his 
topical songs. And although Phil's songs were all written more 50 years 
ago, and up to more than 60 years ago, one of the reasons that his songs 
are still sung today by so many artists is that so many of them are just 
as relevant now - or even more relevant now - as when they were written.
