  • Endorsement From Michael Schumacher
    Author
    There But for Fortune:     Dave Cohen's book is a gigantic labor of love, an invaluable source for those interested in the work and obsessions of Phil Ochs. To read through its contents is to rediscover an era of hope and rage, beauty and discoloration--all reported by a troubadour who paid the dearest of prices for sending his messages from the heart. I wish I'd had this book when I was researching my biography.
  • Endorsement From Michael Moorcock
    Author of Mother London
    Winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize:     It is the voice of the best America can be. It can't be silenced. It is the voice of Phil Ochs.
