Bartholomew Bishop	Apr 8 2009 7:00 PM Ohil Ochs was absolutely one of the greatest. He was also a great guy to know and pick guitars with. I just ran across an old hit parader magazine where they were trying to make him into "the next dylan". Absolutely mindblowing. Does Michael still have Elvises' gold suit? Just wondering.. Peace and Justice, Bartholomew Bishop

Charles Andrew Bates	Dec 12 2008 10:46 AM Thanks for being part of my small circle of friends.
Bartholomew Bishop	Dec 11 2008 11:08 PM I'm one of the lucky people who knew and worked with Phil Ochs. We sat in our chairs over coffee in the morning, as he told us what he wanted to do that day in the Anti-war Vietnam activities. He was a passionate determined person who never gave up singing about what he knew was right and just as importantly: what was wrong. There was a lot that was wrong in those days, but even with our great new President-Elect, there's still alot that's wrong right now. I have never been more inspired by or learned more from an individual than I did from Phil Ochs. He stands as one of the greatest individuals ever to sing a song and pick a guitar. He taught me about our movement and how each of us can stand up everyday and contribute. I am completely overwhelmed with emotion when I think of Phil Ochs and what he means to our movement and to the history of music!- Peace, Love and Justice!-Bartholomew Bishop
Casey Twist	Nov 28 2008 7:21 PM Thanks for the add.
Vasilis Kazantzis	Nov 26 2008 7:57 AM 1261 phil och's friends can't be wrong! but for one of the greatest songwriters ever who had no price there're always gonna be new ones and new ones and new ones. Thank you for adding me to them
