Utah is one of the best. We are fortunate to have had him, and even more fortunate he left such a rich recorded legacy.

And we know where the ones responsible live!

"You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart
Into fire, you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn
You can try, but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our bones, our skin
We will not let you in
You've set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees, we crawl (hands and knees, we crawl)
You cannot stop us all
Our blood, our grace (our blood, our grace)
Will never leave this place
We crawl, we crawl
We crawl, we crawl"

- NIN, 2007

Today in Labor History July 6, 1911: IWW labor organizer Joe Hill's song "The Preacher & the Slave" first appeared in the IWW’s Little Red Song Book. The song is a parody of the hymn, “Sweet By and By,” often song by the Salvation Army (who the IWW called the Starvation Army), which would try to drown out the union’s street-corner labor organizing with their hymns. The Wobbly bard, Haywire Mac, is believed to be the first person to sing this song in public. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips also covered the song.

Long-haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
They will answer in voices so sweet

Chorus
You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die

And the Starvation Army, they play,
And they sing and they clap and they pray,
Till they get all your coin on the drum,
Then they tell you when you're on the bum

(Chorus)

Workingmen of all countries, unite
Side by side we for freedom will fight
When the world and its wealth we have gained
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
Chorus

One of the first times I talked to Judi Bari...I said, "Judy, you know, the earth isn't dying it is being killed, and the people who are killing it have names and addresses."

What I mean by that is through power structures research, hunting very carefully, we can find out the names and addresses of the people who really have their foot on our necks, the people who are really causing the damage. And then, nonviolently, my vision, my dream is that thousands, thousands, millions of people go to those homes. Go to the places where they take their vacations. Sit in the doorways. Lie in front of the cars. And when they're hauled away to jail, other people take their place. Surround them. Put them in jail.

Oh yes, I know it's an air conditioned jail and the food's pretty good. But they're in laager, they're surrounded... They're behind the barbed wire, they're behind the concrete. We've got them in prison, we've got to understand that.

They're afraid of us. Alright? Let's make sure they can't enjoy their ill-gotten gains.

In the wise words of one U. Utah Phillips:

There I am in Spookaloo, city of magic, city of light, ensconced upon my front porch in broad daylight, long about noon, my rising time.

Drinking something of a potable beverage, playing my guitar. Long after everybody else in my neighborhood has packed up their lunchbox and gone off down to Kaiser Aluminum to put in their shift.

This enrages my neighbors.

One in particular, across the road, a little retired banker fellow. Been known to cannonball his rotundity across the road and stand there and publicly berate me for my sloth and indolence.

“Why don’t you get a job?” he says.

Now, me, being hip to the Socratic method, fires back a question, “Why?”

“Why,” he says, taking it back. “If you had a job, you can make 3, 4, 5 dollars an hour.”

I says, “Why?” pursuing the same tack.

He says. “Hell, you make 3, 4, 5 dollars and hour you can have a savings account and save up some of that money.”

I said, “Why?”

He said, “Well, you save up enough of that money young feller, pretty soon you’ll never have to work another day in your life.”

I said. “Hell, that’s what I’m doing right now!”
