prof m: That's the only way to go. On his website, he has some podcasts, and one of them he talked about why he would not accept a heart transplant. He was quite a guy.
squirrel: You too!
kurt: I like that one. Could have used it as a kid.
nick: He's been around, just under the mass appeal radar was all.
Taken together, that is a massive amount of energy. A tremendous amount of energy! That is why I am so optimistic. There are too many people doing too many good things for me to afford the luxury of being pessimistic. I'm like Desmond Tutu says, I am a prisoner of optimism. I cannot betray that kind of optimism.

RIP, Utah
and thank you for introducing him to me.
Hope you're having a nice peaceful easy weekend.

I find is sad that I’ve not encountered Utah Philips’ name since the mid-‘90s only to learn about his death today. Thanks for the memoriam and links.
May he rest in peace.
R.I.P. Utah.

Hi Messiah,
I wish to invite you to this e-vent.
(and I will later need your advice about the bigger project I am entertaining: peace cafe; and actual one.)
Good quote Coffee but then that is the norm in your Coffeehouse.
I was recently turned on to Utah Phillips by Spado's wife. What sad news.
What sad news about Utah Phillips. Thanks for the link to his website. I think I'll go over to listen and remember.
Three days late, I am so sad to read about Utah Phillips. RIP, Utah.
naj: Thanks, will ponder this one.
larry: Thanks.
mary: He made a mark for himself and stayed true. Can't ask for any more than that.
robin: Thanks for taking a listen. Hope you heard his podcasts. Remarkable.
diva: A loss for music and labor.
Here's an interview with him in the progressive.

Travel well, Grand Duke of Hobos.
earl: Thanks for the link.....I ran across some other recordings, but forgot to bookmark them 4 U! ; (
Maybe I'll find them again....
Coffee, with my Utah post, I included 3 YouTube videos. As a result, I ordered 3 Utah CDs from Amazon, which should arrive in a few days.
earl: I keep looking for his early works, and they're hard to find out here. I know he sold some on his own website also.
