Amy Goodman interviews Utah Phillips for Democracy Now! in 2004. In part 5 of the interview, Utah tells how he started out in New York, fired his agent, and decided not to play music for profit.

Boy if America was run by people like him - what a country it would be .
-
It's because of Utah Phillips that I recently decided to try to learn how to play folk music for the appalachian dulcimer.

@spooninspoon amen! utah is my hero, and on this labor day deserves especial thought.
-
@spooninspoon Educate yourself! I have the answer. Look up the "Manifesto of the Communist Party". It's available free to read online. This is what Utah is talking about. This is real communism, not that Stalinist or Maoist violent rampage. This is what punks originally were after with labor movements, before they went totally commercial and impotent.

Utah seems like a real good guy. He should have pissed on Amy Goodman when he had the chance.

What a wonderful role-model for us all. This world needs more men and women like Utah Phillips.

@Turdburglerxx86 I'm very well educated, in fact I wish I didn't know some of the things I do know about society... So i don't know where your coming from when you say "educate yourdelf"? lol. My point was based on music more than it was politics, although those things do come together as whole sometimes. The movement your talking about is underground and will always be underground. It's def- not for everyone, folk music isn't for everyone either is politics... They just happen to coexist.

@spooninspoon I suggest you "Educate"yourself my friend. Its an underground movement that has alot more to say then fuck you fuck society ,and fashion really has nothing to do with it.its a way of speaking against the ones who are ruining everything around us and defending what little human rights we still do have.... it doesn't matter what you choose to sound like shitty,or not, I do agree tho there is a lot of shitty music out there......Its definitely not for everyone.

As far as I know Utah Phillips makes any Anarchist punk rock band in the world look like the Johnas Brothers. This guy is an absolute legend to me, he keeps the tradition of true American Folk music alive.
