[net.misc] Phil Ochs lives

enid (08/10/82)

	You better believe he does!   If anyone out there has any information
about him please pass it on to me.  I've been trying to get research done on
him for a book I'd like to write.  If you've read Marc Eliot, you may under-
stand why I'm trying to find information on Phil.  Marc Eliot didn't, in my
opinion, do a very fair or faithful job in that book.  I want to set the
record straight so that people will know about this obscure talent.  Phil
died on April 9, 1976, in his sister's house.  He was a victim of Manic-
Depression (inherited from his father) and, later, of one final and success-
ful suicide attempt.  To paraphrase his friend Jerry Rubin, "He went to his
death a fulfilled man, because he lived and loved and he sure crammed a lot
of life into those 35 years."
