Never Forget

Monument memorializing the victims of the Gestapo. Vienna, Austria.

“Never Forget / Niemals vergessen – The headquarters of the Gestapo stood here. For those who believed in Austria, it was the entrance to Hell. It sank in ruins like the Thousand-year Reich, but Austria was resurrected and with her, our dead, the immortal victims.”

A reminder of how fast things can change.

Food for thought for this holiday season. Phil Ochs was one of, if not the, best, one of the most perceptive and one of the most vibrant of the 60s protest singers. Virtually all of his lyrics still ring true today. He committed suicide in 1976 in part because he was “no longer relevant.” What a tragic misconception. Phil Ochs is probably more relevant today than ever. To wit:


Phil Ochs – The Power And The Glory

Come and take a walk with me thru this green and growing land

Walk thru the meadows and the mountains and the sand

Walk thru the valleys and the rivers and the plains

Walk thru the sun and walk thru the rain

Here is a land full of power and glory

Beauty that words cannot recall

Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom

Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)

From Colorado, Kansas, and the Carolinas too

Virginia and Alaska, from the old to the new

Texas and Ohio and the California shore

Tell me, who could ask for more?

Yet she’s only as rich as the poorest of her poor

Only as free as the padlocked prison door

Only as strong as our love for this land

Only as tall as we stand

Happy Holidays everyone!
