This begs the question whether there was an song-swapping, political organizing, or other collaboration between the two artists. I was at the final concert (Oct 22, 2011) & now must find the CD. voyager |

They were certainly friends, maybe not close friends, but they knew each other and there seemed to be genuine affection between them. As for political organizing, I doubt it. Dave was a Trotskyite and Utah was an IWW anarchist ("an anarchist is anyone who doesn't need a 'cop' to tell them what to do"). |
