Ochs
There really was no debate going on - the very minor point about how we worded the article intro regarding his influences was settled  months ago and has been removed for other reasons. But to answer your question, Ochs was much more than a musician who sang political songs - I think the article makes this abundantly clear. He put himself out there in support of many causes throughout his career, for the last 15 or more years of his life, taking risks, speaking out, rallying, protesting - using whatever influence he had as a singer/songwriter to try to change things in this country and elsewhere. As I said earlier, his music and political activism are inextricably linked, just as Pete Seeger's and a handful of other artists were. The distinction is non-existent for Ochs. If you'd like to learn more about him, I recommend the film There But for Fortune by Ken Bowser, available on DVD and through Netflix. Tvoz / talk 03:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
