Disambiguation link notification for March 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mary Ingalls, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brain fever (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ochs

There really was no debate going on - the very minor point about how we worded the article intro regarding his influences was settled months ago and has been removed for other reasons. But to answer your question, Ochs was much more than a musician who sang political songs - I think the article makes this abundantly clear. He put himself out there in support of many causes throughout his career, for the last 15 or more years of his life, taking risks, speaking out, rallying, protesting - using whatever influence he had as a singer/songwriter to try to change things in this country and elsewhere. As I said earlier, his music and political activism are inextricably linked, just as Pete Seeger's and a handful of other artists were. The distinction is non-existent for Ochs. If you'd like to learn more about him, I recommend the film There But for Fortune by Ken Bowser, available on DVD and through Netflix. Tvoz/talk 03:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
