The geist of Phil Ochs

Here's to the State of Dick Cheney:

"In a solo acoustic remake of folk singer Phil Ochs? 'Here?s to the State of Mississippi,' Eddie Vedder takes on Chief Justice John Roberts, Dick Cheney, Jerry Falwell, Alberto Gonzalez and, of course, President Bush."

Hard to make out all the new lyrics (co-authored with Tim Robbins), but if you watch the whole video you learn that Phil planted secret messages to later generations in the techniques required to play him.
