RIP Patty Waters. Just read about this posted a few days ago on Bob Nedelkoff's timeline. Her official bio page reported on July 19 that she died June 29, 2024.

Had the car radio on briefly this afternoon and this tune was playing. Now a few hours later looking back at the playlist I can see that it was in tribute to the sudden passing of Martin Phillipps. RIP genius.

I had thought about these fellows a few days before you posted this, hoping that I'd forgotten that song of theirs with the ridiculous chorus, but I had to add it to the list of all the crap things that I still have stored in my noggin.

Now I've just listened to it and I put it to you that "Weoh, Weoh, Weoh" is their classic song.

Quite a sad story his life. I remember Dave Warner in his book about his band The Suburbs (who are touring again) talking about going to see Ochs play at UWA in the 70’s & hardly anyone turned up. At one point he was compared to Dylan & then his career just nosedived.

I remember you mentioned this a fair while ago. I've been looking at Mr. Warner's YouTube Channel, at first because he links a few of his football opinions there from other social media sites, but I noticed he has a video/story/song about the time he and some of his band met Phil Ochs at the UWA gig mentioned above, so I thought I'd share.

My sister was at UWA around the same time. Seeing Dave Warner in a Zappa t-shirt, I remember my sister telling me she went to a free lunchtime gig at UWA Winthrop Hall where there's was also only a handful of people turned up to see Frank Zappa.
