The cigar smokin' Chicagoan, radio and tv man, author, conversationalist, and friend to non-famous vagabonds everywhere, has died at the age of 96.
Like Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath, who was destined to be wherever a cop was beating up a guy, Studs documented the struggle of ordinary men wherever there was a picket, or a petition to be signed and defended.

Did you hear Garrison Keillor's tribute to him on last night's Prairie Home Companion? It was wonderful.

Yes, I did, PT&E.
Appropriate to a Woody Guthrie tune.
Good tribute Phil! I've got "Working" on hold at the library. I've been told to read it for too many years without doing so.
