Utah Philips passed this way…
The Suitcase May 29th, 2008
I’m saddened to degrees of pain beyond tearfullness.
Our friend and local legend U. Utah Philips passed on to his reward.
I’m crying, I’m laughing, I’m crying.
Bruce Philips passed away of congestive heart failure on Friday, May 23, 2008
<moment of silence>
I believe it was in 1995 when Utah found out he was gonna have trouble heart wise.
He’d been fightin that particular demon for a long time and gave him a good go ’round.
I first heard Utah Philips on that crazy UC Davis radio station in 1978.
Moose Turd Pie cracked me up and I had to find out more about this folk music scene.
What I found out was that it ain’t to eveyone’s likin’
It’s good though.
