I just found out Utah Phillips died. This makes me sad, as he was a tremendous radical American activist, storyteller, and cultural treasure. He was the lovechild of Mark Twain and Emma Goldman.

If you don't know who he is, please read the Wikipedia article there and watch the video below.



I maintain that the first album Ani Difranco did with his work is the best thing she's ever done.

Today I'm listening to: Utah Phillips!
