as an activist musician, utah phillips was a personal hero of mine...had the honor to perform with him at concerts, festivals and actions such as the anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki in livermore california where the bombs are made...he sat on our bus and shared stories...he was a sweet man and an important voice, i never missed a chance to see him if he was around..especially love his work with ani...

I am amazed at EscapeNewJersey's idiocy. I knew Utah when I was attending the University of Utah and joined the Intermountain Folk Music Council. Rosalie and Utah were the main course, but all played, sang and talked about life. Utah was a humanist, a socially conscious man of the world. Jersey you show a distinct lack of intelligence and a vast amount of ignorance in spite of your claim to "gettin' ejumicated". Sorry you're such an ass - Utah would have had a bit of fun with your foolishness.

And you are a liberal ass communist!

Wow, you really are a troll.

Interesting - you come to this place to disparage Utah Phillips, a great story teller and hero of the working class, by casting the lablel of Communist on his life. Then you compare him to Hitler. You must not have been paying attention to Utah Phillip's stories or you would know he disliked organizations- Government, business or social, that support the bosses and corporations by taking from the working man. The key to learning is listening, not dismissing the experience of your fellow human.

we opened up for utah when he came to our town in the eighties. he attracted quite a wonderful crowd and memorable experiences. your name calling arguments are amusing

publiclandowner, you are also a religious bigot! Therefore, you are the lowest of the low!

EscapeNewJersey (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

LOL "rational discourse" - typical code word of a communist pussy! Hitler also was a great speaker and told interesting stories! Why sould I be impressed with a story teller. I'm more impressed with doers and not talkers! If I want a listen to a talker I can walk into any barber shop!

publiclandowner (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

...and still apparently learned very little about rational discourse, politics, history, the labor movement, managing financial assets or magical belief systems. Please grace us with an original interesting story. Producing a creative, non-plagerized, non-copyright-infringing piece with no hate speech for youtube would be nice. Utah was a great historian and storyteller. I really enjoyed Loafers Glory. One of my favorite stories was the one about living next to the skinheads in Hayden Lake.

I have done manual labor and worked my way through two college degrees and paid cash for my house with no help from my parents. Don't lecture me you pussy communist loser! Utah Phillips sings a bunch of stupid songs and you think he is God. The same lame brain thinking is behind the idiots that follow Obama!
