Utah Phillips (1935 - 2008)

Utah Phillips passed away, on May 23rd, 2008. It was a great privilege to have seen him perform twice. I had the opportunity to have him autograph one of his CDs after one of the shows. There will probably never be another like him.

Did he know Jesus?

I don't know. But he certainly didn't have very much good to say about organized religion.

Well he seemed to take his divine punishment in good stride when he sang "Hallelujia, I'm a bum!"

Neither do I, why don't you ask me for my autograph?
