Ochs' songs play like the soundtrack to the late '60s, as many reflect America's disillusionment with the Vietnam War. Topical protest singer-songwriter Phil Ochs described himself as a "singing journalist." The Vietnam War and the growing Civil Rights movement were two favorite topics for Ochs to sing about. Suffering from a serious bout with depression, Phil Ochs hung himself at his sister's house in 1976.
