It's been reported now that folk legend U.Utah Phillips passed away on Friday, May 23. Utah was a genuine performer of the people, champion of labor and overall Hell Raiser First Class. Utah's brand of grass roots activism and "walking the talk" will be missed but hopefully carried on by the members of future generations upon whose conscience he has left an indelble mark upon.
Utah's family is requesting memorial donations to the homeless shelter Phillips helped create, Hospitality House, P.O. Box 3223, Grass Valley, CA 95945, (530) 271-7144. If you prefer to make your donation online, Click Here, Pilgrim
Below, here is a video tribute somebody posted on YouTube which was soundtracked with one of my favorite Utah songs, Daddy What's A Train? which, IMHO, gives a fine tribute to the man and his musical legacy.

- The world is my playpen. I always get what I want in the end. I have an uncanny ability to witness moments of karma and schadenfreude simultaneously. Stupid people hate me, and that's good to know.
