Santo Domingo - Phil Ochs
“There’s been a drastic change in American foreign policy in recent months. Take the Dominican Republic, which we did, a little while ago, killing a few people here and there — mostly there — saving the day for freedom and democracy in the western hemisphere, once again, folks! I was over there, in the Dominican Republic, entertaining the troops. I won’t say which troops. Over there with a USO group, including Walter Lippmann and Soupy Sales. I played there in a small coffeehouse called The Sniper, and this was my most unpopular song, with the poetic symbolic title of ‘The Marines Have Landed on the Shores of Santo Domingo.’”
