Caught the Westbound

Folk troubadour, raconteur and activist Utah Phillips died last week. The Times has an obituary.


Hallelujah, he was a bum... and when he sang, it was easy to remember that we all are: We all need a handout, a leg up, or someone to stand by us sometimes. He was always a good friend to those in need.

Rest in peace, Utah. We'll miss you at Fest.
