I know of Utah Phillips only by recorded music and reputation. He was "old school," as they say; an activist and seeker of social justice in the tradition of the 1930's, but very much a contemporary man. I have a tune running through my head - Tom Paxton's "Last Hobo." "...The last hobo, ridin' the last boxcar, on the last freight train - leavin' here." I imagine he will be stirring the pot in the Celestial Kingdom, as I write this.
