There’s a new documentary about 60s singer-songwriter Phil Ochs. Titled There But for Fortune it has a limited run at through Tuesday, January 11th at The IFC Center at in Greenwich Village. Although Phil was a huge part of the music and politics of the 60s, he died in 1976 and his music has largely been forgotten. This movie tries to right that large historical oversight. If you are old enough to know Phil and his music, or if he was just before your time, you really should get to see this film.
If you can’t or won’t go out of the house, then take a look at this video in which Dave Grohl and Cobble Hill’s Norah Jones duet on Paul McCartney‘s Maybe I’m Amazed from the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors show last month. You’ll also see quick shots of both Sir Paul and President Obama in this clip. It is all waiting for you here over at Now I’ve Heard Everything.
And don’t forget tonight’s Dar Williams show over at The Bell House. Louise has the details here.
