And now he's bound for a glory all his own
And now he's bound for glory

Phil Ochs, 19.12.1940-9.4.1976

My take on Phil Ochs' "Here's to the State of Mississippi". With just a few changes to this song that was written 60 years ago, it's still relevant today. I call it "Here's to the State of Trump's America". I performed it at the Women's March in Sedona in Jan 2019. #HandsOff

Russland will keinen Frieden. Russland will Unterwerfung.

Die ganze Nacht massiver russischer Raketenangriff auf die Ukraine. Auch in Kyjiw hören wir am frühen Sonntagmorgen heftige Explosionen. Laut ukrainischer Luftwaffe greift Russland mit ballistischen Raketen an.

So fühlt sich aggressive Kriegsführung an, kein greifbarer Frieden.

"... this country has gone so flabby that any gang daring enough and unscrupulous enough, and smart enough not to seem illegal, can grab hold of the entire government and have all the power and applause and salutes, all the money and palaces..."

It's ever so lonely to live with a lie.

Phil Ochs - Floods of Florence

Miranda @philochs.bsky.social · Mar 20

The troubadour comes from the country, falls by the factory
Sliding on simple strings
Armed with his anger, he sings of the danger
He senses a stranger is in the wings
But the fledgling has learned to fly
All of the innocence leaves his eyes

Phil Ochs - I'll be there

Miranda @philochs.bsky.social · Mar 16

Mein erstes Buch zum Thema war tatsächlich Zimmermanns Buch über den Bauernkrieg von 1848. Für mich immer noch ein Standardwerk.
Gut, dass jetzt endlich wieder dieses Volksaufstandes gedacht wird.
Sehr guter SZ Artikel übrigens.

Nothing has changed.
It's only getting worse.

Miranda @philochs.bsky.social · Mar 13

When the shadow of the tyrant falls & sweeps across the land
When men would steal from others with paper in their hand
When people search for answers & the answers never come
When their troubles would be over if they thought and fought as one
Let me tell you, I’ll be there.

Phil Ochs - Do What I Have To Do

Miranda @philochs.bsky.social · Mar 13

All around this country, trouble in the air
And I hear the voices calling me
Asking "do you know and do you care?
So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I'm gonna be what I have to be
Now won't you come on along with me?

Ja, und? Vielleicht ist es jetzt endlich mal Zeit standhaft zu bleiben und sich nicht an die CDU anzubiedern. Und Wahlen sind eh erst wieder in 4 Jahren.

Bitte stimmt nicht zu.

But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate
They twist away our freedom & they twist away our fate
Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry
We can stop them if we try

Dann sollte die Linke auch bitte endlich ihren Widerstand gegen Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine aufgeben. Auch in Europas Sicherheit muss (militärisch) investiert werden. Auf die USA ist kein Verlass und Putin hat an Verhandlungen null Interesse. Warum auch? Er kriegt von Trump doch, was er will.
