I saw there wasn’t any version of this song here on you tube and thought until someone could make a real one I would upload this one. Flat Stanley is a thing some fourth graders are send out to people and have them photograph him and write things or do things with and send him and the photo or story or other type of media back to the school. I think this is to show the kids other places and peoples. I put this together for a niece in Ohio.

I wish someone would post a bona fide video of this!
Such a talent, the A & M albums were a dramatic musical jump from the Elektra albums but yet managed to preserve their intensity, feeling and commitment.
In the video response I submitted, pay particular attention to two men standing behing two Dallas Police Officers ( 1 minute 31 seconds) one of the men is Phil Ochs legendary folk singer who was sent to Dallas as an observer. There is another You Tube video called TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY that will support this film. Phil Ochs was later found dead of an apparent hanging suicide. I wonder…..
Shit, I never knew Squirrel Baits version was a cover of this. I kinda like this, But I still prefer S.Baits version !
yes it rocks!
Yes, the squirrelbait version is truly amazing as is all of skag heaven
Squirrelbait did a great version of this on their skagheaven lp back in the 80’s.
Such a top tune!
Yes. Penn has been talking with Och’s daughter for years now about the possibility of turning his life into a film. Penn looks a bit like him, specially older Phil. I’d be right behind you in the line!
Is Sean Penn considering a film about Phil Ochs?
I’d be first in line to see it.
I just put this up temporarily until someone puts up a better version with better audio. I used my little ghetto camera. It’s a great tune, wish someone would post the faster (live?) version too.
Yes! thanks PepperWhite62 for posting this great Phil Ochs number!
Yeah the live version, I have it on Farewell and fantasies! Really hope Sean Penn will do the movie!
There is an up tempo rock abilyy kind of version Phil did too.
Thanks, I’ve never heard the studio recording before.
