On How I Failed To Inspire Phil Ochs

	I've been thinking about the actual effect that the violence at the 1968 Democratic Convention had on the American leftist movement. I mean, for one, Phil Ochs never got over it...


	True. "Rehearsals For Retirement" was such a tired, knowing statement of defeat from a formerly spirited voice of the people.


	But, also... by that point, hippiedom had been mass-marketed so much it had lost much of its original strong communal, anti-establishment principles.


	And had merely become the latest fad amongst teens in America's heartland.


	The only good part that came out of the watering-down of hippiedom was a good five to six years of very short dresses.


	Yeah, you ever notice that the good fashions NEVER come back into style?
