1965

Draft Dodger Rag was written by Phil Ochs in 1965

Upbeat

The song makes me feel upbeat and happy. I think the mood and what the musician is trying to express is that no one should be drafted to go to The Vietnam War. All of the problems he says he has with his body contributes to the mood.

Audience

The audience includes all other men who could be drafted to go to the war, because this song is about a man making excuses about why he shouldn't go to the war.
