Well Ochs and Dylan were both folk... that's about all they had in common musically. Ochs was a journalist first, musician second. His music was far more direct than Dylan's and he was much more involved in the protest spirit than Dylan. Hell, Dylan was trying to dis-associate himself from the protest movements near the end of the '60s, appearing on compilations under different names as to not lend direct fact of his involvement with it. While Ochs was out there with Rubin and Hoffmann at the protests, with the YIP...
But yeah, they're pretty different in many many ways...
