Utah Phillips Got It Right
A Memorial Rebroadcast of an Interview with Utah Phillips
Utah Phillips, a seminal figure in American folk music who
performed extensively and tirelessly for audiences on two
continents for 38 years, died Friday may 23, 2008 of
congestive heart failure in Nevada City, California a small
town in the Sierra Nevada mountains where he lived for the last 21 years with his wife, Joanna Robinson.
Born Bruce Duncan Phillips on May 15, 1935 in Cleveland,
Ohio, he was the son of labor organizers. Whether through
this early influence or an early life that was not always tranquil or easy, by his twenties Phillips demonstrated a lifelong concern with the living conditions of working people. He was a proud member of the Industrial Workers of the World, "the Wobblies," an organizational artifact of early twentieth-century labor struggles that has seen renewed interest and growth in membership in the last decade, not in small part due to his efforts to popularize it.
We frequently play Utah’s songs on Building Bridges. In tribute to a great man and wonderful artist we now offer a modified rebroadcast of our interview with Utah Phillips "The Wobblies Got It Right" which we first aired in 2005 commemorating the 100th anniversary of the IWW. ********************************************************************
