History Trivia / PhilOchs

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The political and cultural references in "Love Me, I'm A Liberal" are clearly dated to the 1960s, so much so that cover versions (such as the one by Music/MojoNixon and Music/JelloBiafra) usually write new lyrics with contemporary references that themselves tend to become dated to the politics of the era they were written in.

* ChannelHop: A significiant one. Ochs' first three albums, releasded between 1964 and 1966, were on Creator/ElektraRecords, a label then strongly identified with FolkMusic. In 1967, Ochs switched to pop/rock label Creator/AAndMRecords, where he attempted to go in a more commercial direction while still retaining his ideals.

* CreatorBreakdown: The cover of his 1969 album ''Rehearsals for Retirement'' depicts Ochs' own tombstone, which stated that he died in "Chicago, Illinois, 1968". This was later [[GallowsHumor parodied]] in ''Film/AMightyWind'''s fictional album, ''Calling It Quits'', which provided the image for this trope.

* NoHitWonder: Considered one of the most talented songwriters in the history of Main/FolkMusic, but he never had much financial success. "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends" got a smattering of Top 40 radio airplay, but that's as close as he got to an actual hit.
