I wouldn't want to elevate anybody to inappropriately high heights, but for me, Utah Phillips was a legend.
R.I/P/
UTAH PHILLIPS
Utah lived in Nevada City, he came to the community radio station he was appauled with the denegeration of NPR as a responsible alternative to mainstream brain washing.
In any case, for those of us who knew his music, whether from recordings or concerts, for those who knew Utah from his stories on or off the stage, whether we knew him as that human bridge to the radical labor movement of yesterday, or as the voice of the modern-day hobos, or as that funky old guy that Ani did a couple of CDs with, Utah Phillips will be remembered and treasured by many.
He was undeniably a sort of musical-political-historical institution in his own day. He said he was a rumor in his own time. No question, one man's rumor is another man's legend, but who cares, it's just words anyway....
I had recently read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, and had been particularly enthralled by the early 20th Century section, the stories of the Industrial Workers of the World. So it was with great interest that I first discovered a greasy cassette there in the kitchen by the stereo, Utah Phillips Sings the Songs and Tells the Stories of the Industrial Workers of the World.the wildly tumultuous era of the first two decades of the 20th century is now (and pretty well was then) a thing entirely of history, with no one living anymore to tell the stories. And while long after the 60's there will be millions of hours of audio and video recorded for posterity, of the massive turn-of-the-century movement of the industrial working class there will be virtually none of that.
To hear Utah tell the stories of the strikes and the free speech fights, recounting hilariously the day-to-day tribulations of life in the hobo jungles and logging camps, singing about the humanity of historical figures such as Big Bill Haywood, Joe Hill or Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, was to bring alive an era that at that point only seemed to exist on paper, not in the reality of the senses. But Utah didn't feel like someone who was just telling stories from a bygone era -- it was more like he was a bridge to that era.
Hearing these songs and stories brought to life by him, I became infected by the idea that if people just knew this history in all it's beauty and grandeur, they would find the same hope for humanity and for the possibility for radical social change that I had just found through Utah.
Whether he's recounting stories from his own experiences or those of others doesn't matter. There is no need to know, for in the many hours Utah spent in his troubled youth talking with old, long-dead veterans of the rails and the IWW campaigns, a bridge from now to then was formed in this person, in his pen and in his deep, resonant voice. In Good Though I heard the distant past breathing and full of life in Utah's own compositions, just as they breathed in his renditions of older songs.
In I've Got To Know I heard an eloquent and current voice of opposition to the American Empire and the bombing of Iraq, rolled together seamlessly with the voices of deserters, draft dodgers and tax resisters of the previous century.
In reference to the power of lying propaganda, a friend of mine used to say it takes ten minutes of truth to counteract 24 hours of lies. But upon first hearing Utah's song, "Yellow Ribbon," it seemed to me that perhaps that ratio didn't give the power of truth enough credit. It seemed to me that if the modern soldiers of the empire would have a chance to hear Utah's monologues there about his anguish after his time in the Army in Korea, or the breathtakingly simple depiction of life under the junta in El Salvador in his song "Rice and Beans," they would just have to quit the military.
Utah made it clear in word and in deed that steeping yourself in the tradition was required of any good practitioner of the craft, it seemed that Utah's music had, on a musical level, had the same kind of impact that Zinn's People's History or somewhat earlier works such as Jeremy Brecher's book, Strike!, had had in written form -- bringing alive vital history that had been all but forgotten. With Ani DiFranco's collaboration with Utah, this became doubly true, seemingly overnight, and this man who had had a loyal cult following before suddenly had, if not what might be called popularity, at least a loyal cult following that was now twice as big as it had been in the pre-Ani era.

About me: Let Woody explain it for ya.....:
"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard traveling. ... I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood.
I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work.
And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think you've not any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow".***************************************************************************************************************************

WE ARE ALL WORKS IN PROGRESS...CAUSE FRIENDS" IF YOU AIN'T BUSY BEING BORN YOU ARE BUSY DYING!' RADIO GUY FOR A LONG TIME. ================================================================================================================================*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************It all begins around the summer of '65. It was a time of magic for me and my friend Dan. We camped out nearly every night that summer. We usually roamed the streets of our upper New York state town, harmlessly wearing ourselves out and falling asleep in the tent in Dan's back yard. I always carried my Bradford transistor radio with us. I received it as a passing present that year and it had given me and Danny magic at our fingertips. The summer nights filled with Beatles! Stones! Counting flowers on the wall...and "Open all night ...Dennison's men's stores ...special Edwardian suits" clear and crisp each from their acoustic barrels in a cellar at 77 WABC the home of the All Americans! I soon tired of the rotated selections and discovered that the transistor had a switch that pointed to letters FM and AM. I wondered what the FM would bring. So working the thumb wheel which tuned the station I soon found that mostly nothing actually was being received on this side so I click it back to AM and yeah, here's a hit I love. After a day or two my disinterest with the same 25 songs (and I was nuts about those groups mind you, just desirous to hear something else!) back to the FM side up and down the dial searching for what I didn't know....then around mid of that summer around 2 or three in the morning I hit some thing. Around (91.9 or 92fm or a little before it I listened to a girl who was playing discs! Long Plays of Classical and Methodist music!!! ......AND every once in a while "MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK!" or some chick rock song! The contrast gave me goose bumps!!! I was hooked! I commenced what has been a life's long appreciation of underground and alternative programming philosophies, while putting them into actual practice at various forums. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am so pleased to be now heard on the World Wide Web in two places: Right here on Homegrownradionj.com on Monday evenings from 9pm till midnight and on saturday evenings from 7 till 7 pm pm you can pick up my Internet show originating from the studios of WXLV.org on 90.5 fm at Lehigh Carbon County Comunity College.

http://playlists.infotech-nj.com/hgrnj/playlist.mpl?programID=4****************************************************************************************************************************************===========================================================MY RADIO CREED!************************** Nosce Te Epsom! Know thy Self is the translation from the Latin. Freeform radio not only is the best format created for Radio Broadcast but IS the natural format of Human beings. For centuries folks in a area gathered together, young and old alike, Master and slave, Lord and serf to enjoy entertainment that was usually brought to them by way of the traveling minstrels, or gypsy circus, presenting a wide array of delights that enriched all the folks that came to watch. As radio and television came into our lives, the most successful and ground breaking were the variety programs. Many an unknown artist was helped along the way by show hosts who paid no attention to the demographic information. They were bold enough to give a chance to the impractical and obscure. An informational survey might tell you how popular someone might be...but they do not create the culture! In fact, because it is a picture of what was...it can not spot an Elvis or Beatles. It discards blues and Jazz as too narrow to gain any huge mainstream appeal.
