Those who know me know that I have many obsessions. Cupcakes, Tea, Hello Kitty, Psychology, Feminism, and Good Story Tellers. I'm a sucker for a good story teller & Utah Phillips is one of the best. A folk singer, poet, former union worker, activist, feminist, a former tramp/hobo/bum and a damn good story teller. Story telling is an art & he did it well. A man born on the same date of my birth and a man who died in 2008. Here is one of his best interviews -- a 2004 interview with Amy Goodman of NPR. Here he speaks about war, non-violence, and feminism.
RIP Utah Phillips (May 15, 1935 – May 23, 2008)
