Sometimes it is the weasels who hang the heroes that write history, too.

My favorite Donovan song.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

' Though hardly his most sophisticated composition, I always liked "There Is a Mountain" because of its incorporation of a Zen koan: ("First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is"). Did you know that Donovan contributed the line "sky of blue and sea of green" to the Beatles' song "Yellow Submarine"? Probably the most memorable line of a song that may be the simplest, most memorable and most universally loved of the Beatles' songs, and may be the song of theirs which will best be remembered through history. By the way, why has Phil Ochs been air-brushed out of history by the propaganda machine? Much of his oeuvre was outstanding.

I'd never heard of him until maybe 10 years ago when a new biography came out, and I bought some of his music then. I've heard a number of musicians refer to his influence and so far as I know his music has been re-released on CD.
