Put together a salty mixture of Mark Twain and Will Rogers, combine in some Pete Seeger folksiness and warm thoroughly for two hours and you have U. Utah Phillips, sometime hobo, stubborn labor radical and consumate performer of the theater of folk music.
Phillips’ folksy tales and razorsharp political barbs have made him a legend on the folk circuit.
“Everybody tells a story,” he says, “everybody is a story. Hoper^fuily, when we get to the end, it will have been well told.” 1 U. Utah Phillips will be telling Jus stories and singing his songs at Jthe Gay Street Theater in Washington on Saturday night, May 5 at 8 p.m. . Phillips wasn’s always a folk singer. He said growing up in Utah, ‘^everybody told stories so it never occurred to him to try to make a living ;at it. • Instead he left a state job to run for (or from as he likes to say) the •U.S. Senate on the peace and freedom ticket in 1968. • After the campaign he decided ■the election process wasn’t the best Iway to change the world so he ^packed up his guitar and his songs jand headed to New York.
