i see!! i'm now realizing i do actually know of phil ochs via "love me i'm a liberal".. i get what you mean with the playful observation of the world thing. maybe i'll get into him some more. you write really well about music!
i once wore a talking heads t-shirt to a show and the dj there spinning discs between sets saw me, beckoned me over, and told me "cool shirt. best non-underground band in history"... if ever there was a backhanded compliment lmfao
