21st December 2021

A tribute to singer-songwriter Phil Ochs, born on December 19th 1940. Phil wrote many political and protest songs against events of the 1960s and 70s such as the war in Vietnam, racial segregation and capital punishment.

Here’s a list of my top 5 Phil Ochs songs:

1 No More Songs

2 Santo Domingo

3 The Iron Lady

4 Men Behind the Guns

5 The Crucifixion

London-born English teacher, now living and working in Sai Gon, Viet Nam. I want to use this site to post lesson notes, extra work, helpful links as well as general notes about my time in SE Asia and Viet Nam. I also want to give real classroom experiences and how to deal with real classes of noisy, unmotivated and resistant students. Additionally, I'll be posting links to films, publishing plays and stories, and introducing friends who work in the arts.
