Phil Ochs – Love Me, I'm a Liberal
Honorable mention: Phil Ochs – Here's to the State of Mississippi

It was a "politically charged american folk" kinda day.

Phil Ochs story is tragic. He wrote a lot of political and social commentary songs before his mental health started to decline.
He hung himself at age 35, in 1976, after growing increasingly paranoid and even living as another person, "John Butler Train", for a while.
After his death, it was revealed that the FBI had a file of nearly 500 pages on Ochs.
His wikipedia article is a very interesting read.
