I pray

I pray that my goddamn job doesn't get in the way of me seeing There But For Fortune, the Phil Ochs documentary playing only one lousy day at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. I'm starving for some decent music documentaries. Which is more important, being productive at work or feeding my frivolous obsession with music arcania? The choice is obvious; music arcania.

It's really good, but I read it's also coming out on DVD real soon, so don't get fired over it.

His sister, Sonny, has lived in my part of upstate NY for some time, and is very culturally active around here. Phil was my mother's favorite folk singer.
