Q: What is Utah's state of health?
A: Well, lets see: In August 2000, Utah spent a day in the hospital, for a
case of angina. He was treated, and given a bunch of tests. The good news
is that his condition is about the same as it was 5 years ago. It will never
be better, but at least its not worse. He is watching what he eats and exercising.
In September 2000 Bruce fell off the back of his truck (It was parked at the
time) and broke a rib. He was treated and was a bit stiff for a few weeks.
He told me "Don't post that, people will give me a good ribbing over
it..."
A: 2003 Utah is doing OK. He has had to start traveling again to make a living, but is trying to take it slow so as to not overtax himself.
Q: When and where was Utah born?
A: Utah's birthday: May 15, 1935 and he was born in Cleveland Ohio.
Q: What does the U. stand for in U. Utah Phillips?
A: It's a mystery of the universe, though you might go ask T. Texas Tyler,
if you can find him.
Q: What is Ani Difranco like?
A: She has the most powerful intellect. She knows who she is and what she
is about. I would trust her with anything I do.
Q: (Asked at the Children's Music Network) Are you ready to
pass the torch?
A: No, I'm not ready to pass the torch, I'm not done with it, and you'll have
to go through me to get it. The world does not belong to the young, I was
here first. But here is an idea: I'll carry the torch, you carry me.
Q: What are your favorite songs?
A: There are two. Walter Houston's "September Song," and the Carter
Family's "Jim Blake's Message."
