"This borders between pacifism and treason, combining the best qualities of both. The fact that you won’t be hearing this song over the radio is more than enough justification for the writing of it. / I’ll do for you now, you nice people, a protest song — a protest song is defined as a song you don’t hear on the radio. And they’ll say you don’t hear it on the radio because the guy can’t sing or the words are no good as they play the shit that they play these days."

— Phil Ochs (via goebel)
