Amy Goodman interviews Utah Phillips for Democracy Now! in 2004. In Part 3 of the interview, Utah explains how he got the name "U. Utah", the history of war resistance, and the Wobblies.
Amy Goodman Should say something concerning 911?WTC. It sure as hell wasn't cave dwellers with rusty razor blades running amuk on Boeing's. Amy is Gray. She knows it was an inside job and a media job. And her silence makes her one of them. Hence, Amy Gray. She is soul less Gray, she is one of "Them".
I saw him live once when I was really little and I asked him what the U stood for. He gave me a few options. I only remember one, the one that struck my little kid brain as the most amusing: "Underwear."
So no matter what he says in this interview, I'm always going to think of him as Underwear Utah Phillips. My childhood hero.
