We have lost a great man. Utah Phillips passed away on May 23. He was a phenomenal Legendary folk musician. He was an organizer, union activist, peace activist, storyteller, anarchist, and folk singer. He sang songs about the labor movement and the power or direct action. He taught respect for our elders. He taught us to learn about the past and to listen to the stories of our elders.
"U. Utah Phillips has passed away in his sleep at 11:30PM PDT on May 23, 2008. Utah has caught the westbound, and I am at a great loss. For myself and my wife Pam, to Joanna and to all Utah's family and friends we express our deepest sympathy. We have lost a truly caring man. -Chris 05/24/08" - From Utah's website
