The 60's were really screwed up
Yesterday my wife and I went to the Woodstock International Film Festival and saw a documentary that will be distributed in January about Phil Ochs the song writer. Incredible documentary. I highly recomend when it comes out.
This chronicled an incredible songwriter born in 1940 who due to his manic depressive nature and artificial stimulant went into mental decline and eventual suicide early in 1976. That same day I viewed "Man Of The World and "The Soloist" at home. All three of these films are linked by the times Phil Ochs nosedive came during his involvement it the "Yippie Movement " in the late sixties wirh the likes of Ed Sanders (The Fugs who interestingly enough toured with Fleetwood Mac during that time) Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. These three films and people have a theme and reality beyond mental illness, drugs, and alcohol. The late sixties in the US were, contrary to popular nostalgic belief, very TOXIC to humans of great sensitivity. Peter was oneof those, to say the least vinnie c PS This is PG thread # 500 Last edited by doodyhead; 10-02-2010 at 06:34 AM.. Reason: spelling |
