Cannon Beach Gallery opens ‘Imagine That’ art exhibition CANNON BEACH — Cannon Beach Gallery announces its upcoming exhibition “Imagine That,” opening with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1. The exhibition is the result of an invitation to artists to take a 12-by-12-inch panel and allow their imaginations to take flight. With no themes or restrictions other than those set by the starting point — the blank board — this may be one of the most diverse shows in the gallery’s program. “Imagine That” features many talented Northwest artists, and each work is priced at $150. The exhibition is a major fundraiser for the Cannon Beach Arts Association with many of the artists donating the full proceeds of the sale of their work. The show is supported by funding partner the James F. & Marion L. Miller Founda-

Review: Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man’ is smaller but still not fun size By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer If ever there was a sworn devotee — a chanting, face-painted worshipper — of the Big, it is Marvel. So the prospect that AntMan, the miniscule Mighty Mouse of Marvel’s stable of powerhouses, might join the brawny big-screen ranks of the Hulk, Thor and the rest has long held some pleasing irony. But that enticement — Oh, if it was something different! — went out the helicarrier window when, just weeks before shooting was to commence, Edgar Wright, the British blender of genre and comedy who had worked on the project for eight years, departed over “creative differences´ — a sacri¿ce, seemingly, to the Marvel colossus. The precise source of the dispute is unknown, but it’s clear enough from the ¿nal product, pushed forward with the quick insertion of director Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” “The Break-Up”) and a rewrite by Adam McKay and others, that “Ant-Man”

sequel set-ups. The result is a ¿lm not quite sure of itself, like it’s wearing clothes a size too big. Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang, a politically motivated cat burglar being released after three years in San Quentin. He has an ethnically diverse group of petty criminal friends: Tip “T.I.” Harris, David Dastmalchian and Michael Pena, the only actor rightly convinced he’s in a comedy. Lang is trying to right himself for the sake of his young daughter, Cassie (Abby Ryder Forston), and for paying child

support to his ex-wife (Judy Greer, an actress too good to be twice relegated to the domestic sidelines in this summer’s blockbusters). But spryness (an essential quality for any movie about an insect superhero) or any much purpose, at all, is missing from these scenes. The movie is too controlled for Rudd’s goofball charm — best on display when simply standing in front of a mirror (“Wanderlust”) or animated about music (“I Love You, Man”) — to break free. Through some strained plot mechanics, Lang is recruited by the original AntMan, the scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), to succeed him in the suit. Along with his daughter (a bob-sporting Evangeline Lilly), he’s conspiring to prevent a former apprentice (Corey Stoll) from unlock-
ing the atomic secrets that led to Ant-Man in the ¿rst place: the ability to shrink down to bug-size, yet maintain strength. Somewhere in Wonderland, Alice is tapping her foot. With the press of a button, he can toggle between big and small, and appear all but invisible when tiny. The perspective change allows for some unlikely superhero foes, like a bathtub drain. During training, while Lang tries to perfect his communication with other underground ants, he sometimes pops out of the ground like a sprouted cabbage. With a screenplay credited to Wright, Joe Cornish, McKay and Rudd, “AntMan” unfolds in pleasingly human-sized fashion. It’s a heist movie. Not one city is leveled; it’s like Marvel has gone on a diet. But it’s only in the climactic scenes where the movie unlocks the antic potential of its shape-shifting. Rather than taking place above the skyline of a metropolis,

the big action scenes are set inside a briefcase and in Cassie’s bedroom. Such moments, sprinkled throughout, are like glimpses of a better “Ant-Man” that might have existed. Change, we are told, is afoot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Ant-Man” is the ¿nal movie in the studio’s “Phase Two,” with promises of bigger, intergalactic battles looming in “Phase Three.” But as a parent might say, it’s just a phase. Because you have to squint pretty hard to spot the differences from Marvel movie to Marvel movie. If “Ant-Man” proves anything, it’s that any diversion in this universe is likely to get stomped underfoot. “Ant-Man,” a Walt Disney Co. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sci-fi action violence.” MPAA definition of PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Running time: 124 minutes. Two stars out of four. Follow AP Film Writer Jake Coyle on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/jakecoyleAP

ART IS A TEA BOWL
A
A 2-pound lump of clay, wedged with two hands and centered perfectly on a potter’s wheel. Centered. That is the beginning of the form called a tea bowl, and that simple form holds a simple green tea and is, inextricably, a milestone in Japanese culture. If I had my way in a peaceful world, it would become a part of our world. I’m talking to you, friends. Let me introduce you to a tea bowl. Let me introduce you, fair readers, to a particular magic, a fusion of art and clay and craftsmanship. These small bowls are vessels, vessels to be held in two hands delicately and lovingly. This dance becomes a form of meditation. The conception of the clay form is pure Japanese. This culture covets the bowl, covets the shaping and ¿ring of clay. If America has a love affair with the coffee cup and the thick bitter brown brew within, then the Japanese dote on the tea bowl. Dote on the pungent green tea. Dote on the ceremony around both. The bowls are named: Sunrise, Sea at Dusk, Moon over Bay. Bowls from the 16th century are locked into wood chests inside Buddhist monasteries. Once a year they are brought forth and put on display. People actually line up to see a simple tea bowl, to honor the master craftsman who threw the bowl. To ooh and awe and oh my! Both the Portland and Seattle Art Museums display a few. Mostly, we scamper past. What, after all, is the big deal about a small bowl? Let me tell you: The vessels represent the Zen of life. As many of you know, the Japanese have a tea ceremony. They build small shrines, tea rooms where humans visit and drink the tea. Hold the bowl in two hands. Let it warm their skin. Turn it in four directions. Offer a favorite side to the host. Then, they sip the tea as if it is a magic elixir. This is sometimes called respect for the Here and Now. In a better world, it is not de¿ned. Perhaps it is the Tao. A potter centers a clay lump on a wheel head. Perhaps the lump weighs 10 pounds. He or she centers that lump, brings it into an even concentric ball of clay. The shape is formed into a kind of small pinnacle. The potter pulls up about two pounds of clay from that larger mound until it is even and

centered in his hands, and then — sometimes with eyes closed in concentration — enters the clay and opens an even crater into the middle. From there the piece is drawn into a bowl shape. Hands pass over the clay several times, on a good day, like a prayer. If the potter is experienced and dedicated, the clay opens like a Àower’s petals. Drinking tea is a yearround avocation. But there are different-shaped bowls for different seasons. There is the winter bowl, with the sides drawn in, closed a bit at the top to hold in the heat, to warm the hands and the stomach on a cold winter day when snow falls on cedars, on gardens and tile roof tops and the world surely is at peace. It is, isn’t it? There is also a summer bowl, with sides Àared to allow the escape of the tea’s sweltering heat. It is hot outside, and the cherry blossoms are wilting on the ground, a lush carpet of cranberry and pink. A breeze moves off the sea and whips the steam that rises from the clay bowl. Watch that steam drift and write a poem or a short story, later, after the tea is drunk and friends scatter. In Japan they have master potters. They are respected like our ¿nest athletes. The older they get, the more they are respected. After all, the older they get, the better they get, more sensitive and revealing. The greatest of the artists in Japan are designated as national treasures. A tea bowl by one of
It is transforming clay while it transforms you, you the potter, and these, your small clay bowls.
these masters can bring thousands of dollars. But it isn’t the money. Money only ampli¿es respect and honor. Money is of lesser signi¿cance. It is the substance of a lesser god. Stone purity: the bowl, the clay vessel — that is what is signi¿cant. Art is love. And love sometimes is art. (ach of these bowls is ¿red in a brick kiln. The kiln can be ¿red with gas or stoked with ¿rewood. I’ll tell it to you straight: ¿re is best. Fire is deep and mysterious and primal. Ash called Ày ash attaches to the bowls. Scribes inside-outside like lava rushing over raw earth. A stoneware kiln uses gas and remains, like its sister ¿ring, a magical moment. Silica becomes glass; clays melt and fuse and shape the bowl as if by a magic ¿re stick or wand. Colors and hues jump forward and claim space. In the middle of the night when temperatures hit 2,300 degrees and higher, white light dances before your eyes and you see ghost-like forms as you peer into tiny ports
on the side of the kiln, on the dragon’s side. A wave of heat moves past you and up the belly of the dragon kiln, heat moving like a river. You stop and gulp and then avert your eyes It is so hot, you can’t look for long.
and whatever prayer or poem or song or chant that you are humming or whispering or forming like clay in your heart or head, you Àing those same prayers or poems or songs or chants at the heart of the dragon, into this inferno of split, stacked and dried ¿rewood, into the white-hot ¿re box, into the belly of the dragon. Well, it is transforming clay while it transforms you, you the potter, and these, your small clay bowls. And that is why clay is art, and art transforms our lives and the world we live in. And art can be a clay stoneware bowl. Sit quietly facing a friend, and turn a small tea bowl in your hands until your favorite side, your favorite vista, faces that friend, and say thank you for the day, the tea and the song that tea makes turning to steam and escaping into the soft breeze that Àoats like gossamer dreams, here, there and away. Amen.

Heritage museum opens special exhibition See donated gifts to the collection in ‘Pieces of the Puzzle’ ILWACO, Wash. — Each item in the Columbia Paci¿c Heritage Museum’s collection, down
to the last piece of paper, has been donated to the museum by members of the community.
The special exhibition “Pieces of the Puzzle: Recent Gifts to Collections” is a sampler of the generous gifts given to the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum over the past several years. The exhibition includes over 300 items ranging from photographs and books to uniforms, T-shirts, and paintings and ceramics created by important local artists. These donations are important to the museum. The primary function of a muse-
um is to collect, preserve, research, exhibit and interpret the heritage of its collection. In achieving these objectives, the Columbia Paci¿c Heritage Museum holds each item in its collection as evidence of the stories of the Columbia-Pacific region. When an object is donated, its story often connects it to other stories, ¿lling gaps, building bridges and connecting pieces of an overall puzzle of this region’s heritage. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, July 31. The Columbia Paci¿c Heritage Museum is located at 115 S.E. Lake St.

Return to
Saddle Mountain
After 28 years, Coast Weekend contributor Matt Love revisits Clatsop County’s tallest peak — and an episode from his past Story by MATT LOVE Several months ago, I took a “float” in a sensory deprivation chamber at the Prana Wellness Center in Astoria. It was my first time doing so, and I went into the experience with all sorts of expectations. None of those expectations materialized. Instead, while floating, my mind flooded with images of Saddle Mountain, and the imagery was so intense that I sensed the mountain calling me to return after a 28-year absence to reconsider a poignant episode from my past. Only a fool doesn’t heed a call like that. I am no fool. On July 12, I climbed Saddle Mountain with my good friend Leigh Oviatt. Someone else was there with us, too, in spirit. Her name was Janet. We hiked the mountain together in 1987, as boyfriend and girlfriend. We were both 22 years old.
I’m 51 now, and Janet is dead. Twenty years ago she died from breast cancer after a two-year battle that included experimental procedures that later helped many women survive. Her departure from this world is the most devastating loss of my life. I have never written about it until now. Saddle Mountain is a 3,288-foot peak in the Coast Range, southeast of Astoria. It’s a challenging but popular hike of 2.5 miles to the viewing platform with a sharp 1,640-foot gain in elevation. The last 200 yards are arduous but worth it for the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, Columbia River and Pacific Ocean. The view is the ultimate reward, of course, but another wonder of this hike is walking
through an astonishing variety of different floras. On the Sunday afternoon Leigh and I made our ascent, the parking lot at the trailhead was jammed, and we encountered dozens of friendly people of all ages and all nationalities during the two-anda-half hours it took to reach the top and 90 minutes back down. We also met some of the coolest dogs I’ve come across in recent memory, including a pug and a dachshund. Yes, a dachshund made it to the top of Saddle Mountain! As I hiked, I thought about Janet; she was attending an art school in Los Angeles when we met on the patio of a Portland bar that overlooked the Willamette River. I was working as a teacher’s aide in an elementary school, coaching junior high football and basketball, and thinking about a possible future career as a teacher. We hit it off in spectacular fashion and immediately started going out. I was blown away by her talent as a graphic designer, and she was the first woman who introduced me to the importance of having a defined aesthetic in the creative things you accomplish. She was a great teacher of art and beauty. She had the greatest laugh I’ve ever heard. I confided in her my secret desire to become a writer, and she encouraged me — with a little profanity — to get on with it. During the course of our 18-month relationship, I wrote her at least 300 letters, sometimes three a day. It was probably my first book even though I didn’t realize it at the time. I visited her in Los Angeles on several occasions and helped move her back to Portland after she graduated.
We drove U.S. Highway 101 all the way to Oregon in a 30-year old pickup truck that seemed right out of “The Grapes of Wrath” with all her stuff loaded up and tarped down. It was the road trip of a lifetime. Eighteen months. That was it. Back in Portland, I made a fatal error with her, and she abruptly moved to Seattle and disappeared from my life for what I thought was going to be forever. Janet reappeared out of the blue a few years later, newly married to a fine man, forgave me, and wanted to forge a new friendship with me. I couldn’t believe her compassion toward me. I didn’t deserve it. And a friendship is exactly what resulted, a unique friendship that imbues me to this day. When we reconnected, Janet had become preeminent in her professional field, and I hadn’t written a word for publication. She kept encouraging me and insisted that I give up conventional wisdom in pursuing my dream. It was and remains the best advice about writing I have ever received. I only wish she could have read some of my books, especially the one about rain, which is a lot about having your heart broken and forgiveness. My recollection of our 1987 hike is vague; most of it derives from a photograph of Janet and me at the summit. I don’t recall who took it. She’s wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and I, a light blue jacket. There is a sliver of snow in front of us and

that confuses me. What time of the year did we take the hike? We are both wearing Converse Chuck Taylors — she white low cuts, me black high tops. Today, that makes me laugh. The very idea of hiking Saddle Mountain in Chuck Taylors is ludicrous. But then again, maybe not, since I wore shabby skate shoes this time and found them totally inadequate. Hiking tip: If you decide to climb Saddle Mountain, wear proper hiking shoes or boots. They are absolutely essential for the last brutal stretch over rock scrabble and wire mesh. When Janet and I reached the top, I thought our future together seemed limitless. It was not. When I reached the top the second time, I was hoping I would remember more about that day with Janet. I did not. After she died, her husband graciously returned all the letters I wrote to her. I still have them; I’ve never read them. They have always made my hands tremble when I hold them. After my return to Saddle Mountain and revisiting my relationship with Janet, I think it might be time. Perhaps our story isn’t over.
Matt Love lives in Astoria and is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including “Of Walking in Rain.” They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com.
I sensed the mountain calling me to return after a 28-year absence to reconsider a poignant episode from my past. Only a fool doesn’t heed a call like that.

Bread and Ocean This Manzanita deli and bakery gets it right for carnivores and vegetarians alike
A
As much as its crisp and vibrant brunch fare, Bread and Ocean’s environment and ethic too brightened my mornings. The Manzanita deli and bakery gets it right, from the space to the service to the Àavor. ,t’s enlivened, nourishing, thoughtful and rich enough to please just about anyone. 3erhaps all this ¿gures, as Bread and Ocean was hatched by beloved North Coast restauranteur Julie Barker. Barker operated Manzanita’s Blue Sky Cafe for 16 years before opening Bread and Ocean in 2003. She sold the business last year and launched the marvelous Buttercup a few miles south in Nehalem this spring (see Mouth of the Columbia Buttercup, May 2 , 201 . And while , never visited Bread and Ocean under Barker’s watch, the model bears her ¿ngerprints simple recipes lifted by quality, mostly local ingredients. And while it’s not quite so narrowly focused as Buttercup (which does made-to-order chowder and ice cream), Bread and Ocean picks its battles. Closing at 2 p.m., it’s all bright breakfasts and lunch. A small space packed with tables, customers and employees, Bread and Ocean is full of light. A large skylight and a wall of windows and glass doors welcome in the day. The bustle rarely ceases, customers coming and going, their names and orders being called, yet a sense of easy serenity prevails — it’s not a madhouse. A row of deli cases features half the menu, full of quiches, frittatas, polentas, salads, pastries and more. Over them hang the sandwich menus, including a host of regulars and the daily panini and soup specials. By the register, where you order, is an espresso machine and the grinds of Sleepy Monk beans. ,f it’s before 11 a.m., lunch is off the menu — that means no sandwiches or soup. (But who wants a sandwich before 11 a.m. anyway?) The egg dishes in the deli case, presumably cooked the morning, are delightful, a cross between sultry and strong fuel. A slice of frittata ($6.95) was generous and tall. ,ts ideally singed thin outer layer was lightly crisp, and its insides were moist and gooey. Around broccoli and roasted red peppers, the herbed goat cheese sashayed and permeated the scrambled egg base, warm, potent and slithering. The polenta was a cousin. ,ts layers of spongy grains acting as riverbanks to Àows of melty Tillamook cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs and smoked ham. Both the polenta and frittata are gluten-free, and both

came with a small but welcome side salad of ¿eld greens in a light vinaigrette. Their makeups — eggs, cheese, veggies and animal protein — were much like that of the quiches, only without crust. Like the ingredients in the egg dishes, the salads in the case seem to rotate. On a given day there are three or four, and with heavy starches and/or proteins — like pasta and cous cous —they’re more meal than roughage. The chicken curry ($4.65 for 1/2 pint) could hardly be called a salad at all. ,t was almost all meat, covered in a thick, creamy yellow curry sauce (including homemade mayonnaise), and featuring a few grains of wild rice, raisins and celery for Àourishes of taste and te[ture. ,t was hearty, and by itself a scrumptious energy boost. The broccoli, in soy sauce and tossed with Àakes of almond, ginger and garlic, was more lean and mean — real high-octane. The broccoli itself was exquisitely prepared: moist enough not to be a chore, still raw, crispy and delectable.
A slice of frittata, served with a small side salad, had a singed, crisp outer layer and gooey inside.
,n each of these salads the respective (astern sauces were welcome, well-executed excursions outside of Bread and Ocean’s more dominant and familiar daytime Àavors. Which brings us to the sandwiches. There are loads of them, from tuna to turkey to egg salad, and all served on Bread and Ocean’s freshly baked breads. (By substituting tempeh, all the sandwiches too can be made vegetarian). And, in a package that’s as precious as it is practical, the sandwiches — along with everything else on the menu — are available as boxed lunches with choice of side salad or soup and cookie for $3.25. ,ndeed, the perfect package for a trip to the beach. Of the many sandwiches and rotating daily panini specials, , tried two: the Tuna ($10.30 for a whole, $6.15 for a half) and the Dagwood ($10.20 whole, $6.10 half). The Dagwood, ac-

HOURS: 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday. PRICE: $ – Full-serving entrÊes in the neighborhood of $10. SERVICE: Counter service. Lively and good-natured. VEGETARIAN/VEGAN OPTIONS: Solid. Plenty of vegetarian dishes and substitution options. DRINKS: Coffee, espresso, juice and tea.
The Dagwood sandwich is a customer favorite.
cording to the cashier, is a customer favorite and it wasn’t hard to see why. The half Dagwood was well-portioned, stacked high with smoked ham, ¿nocchiona salami, provolone, Gruyère and organic mixed greens. With those multiple meats and cheeses, along with a house-made red pepper mayo on a soft, fresh baguette, the Dagwood was smooth and rich. And though the meats themselves were oily and juicy, the construction of the sandwich — with cheese on bottom and greens on top kept the bread dry. Pepperoncinis and a dash of ,talian vinaigrette offered a nip of sharp contrast (though , wouldn’t have minded a few more pepperoncinis). The Tuna sandwich, however, , found a little out of balance. The local, line-caught tuna on buttery ciabatta bread was overwhelmed by an olive tapenade spread. 5ather than tuna, , felt like , was having an olive sandwich, and the artichoke hearts didn’t help. (ither the Àavor pairing didn’t work, or the ratios were out of whack. But the Tuna was the only misstep of the many dishes , tried at Bread and Ocean. (Another standout: the gluten-free Blueberry Coffee Cake. ,t was full of tangy, juicy blueberries and the texture was marvelous — had , not known it was gluten-free, ,’d have never guessed.) On one of my visits to Bread and Ocean, , stayed almost until the 2 p.m. closing time. Just moments before the doors would shut, perspective customers literally came running in, hoping to beat the cut-off. ,t’s not hard to understand why: Bread and Ocean is a place , could take both my friends who are gluttonous carnivores and my sister, who’s vegan, and each would leave equally satis¿ed.

jewelry trunk show Aug. 1 ASTORIA — Jewels Curnow, a team of two, Robbie and Chantay Curnow, will be at Imogen Gallery for a return visit bringing with them their one-of-a-kind art jewelry pieces. All are invited to attend their trunk show from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1 and enjoy a champagne reception while learning from these master jewelers what is involved with the creation of each piece. The Curnows are known for using innovative setting and casting techniques, creating a distinct look. Many of their designs incorporate a primitive style of casting that uses cuttle¿sh bone, which creates texture and original pieces. Robbie Curnow also custom blends many of his own alloys and hand selects all of the gemstones used. The randomly set sapphires, diamonds and rubies embellish each piece in a rugged yet sophisticated composition, appearing to be created from some kind of geological event such as the force of glacial compression. The natural and organic sense of design is something that comes from a calculated consideration of geometry and proportions occurring in nature, as well as years of

and how to certify your garden as a wildlife habitat. After the workshop, there will be a work party to spruce up the Discovery Garden. Stop by the museum garden to see the third self-watering container planter. If you have plant problems or questions, ask a master gardener. The group will be sponsoring a plant clinic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the museum. If possible, bring samples of your plant problem. The workshop and plant clinic are free and open to the public. Gardeners will also be selling native plants in 1-gallon and 2-gallon pots. They have on hand ocean spray and serviceberry in limited quantities.

Five Minutes With ... MICHAEL HURLEY By RYAN HUME Get to know Michael Hurley, local transplant and legendary folk singer, before he takes the stage with Nate Lumbard and Au Dunes at the Sou’Wester Lodge at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1. Not known for settling down, Hurley currently has three albums in the works that he hopes to have completed by the year’s end, and he has a standing gig with his band The Croakers at the Laurelthirst Tavern in Portland every third Friday of the month. Find out more about Bad Mr. Mike at snockonews.net Your debut album, “First Songs,” appeared on Folkway Records in 1965. What is your favorite thing about writing and recording these days? Is there anything you miss from that time? Well, my favorite thing is singing, to answer that question. Things I miss from ’65? There wasn’t so much law bothering people back then
as there is today. I miss the freer freedom of the American. Today you can’t feel so free — unfortunately. How did you get the nickname Snock? And why has it stuck through the years? I proclaimed myself to be Snock. To me, it’s a sound, a specific sound — similar to claves, you know? Knocking pieces of hardwood togeth-
er to make music. That’s a snocky sort of sound. I force a lot of nicknames for myself and others. I sort of have my own language. It’s part of that. Sometimes words for things aren’t enough for me to describe something, so I throw a few more words at it to describe it for myself. Then there’s other words and phrases in the English language that offend me, so I have to avoid the use of those. But I am tired of Snock by now. I’ve been Snock since ‘61. So I am going back to Mike — that’s what my dad called me. Currently it’s Bad Mr. Mike or Big Mike. Snock is old hat now. Since your song, “Portland Water,” was released in 1976, I assume you have passed through Oregon on and off for a number of years. As you are known to have a bit of that wandering spirit, how long have you been around the North Coast? This is my fourth year in Knappa. Before that I lived in Astoria proper — though there’s nothing really proper about it. I started residence here permanently in 2002, but the first time I came here it was 1972. Before ’02 I never stayed more than three months at a time. In fact, I only did that once. Usually I was just here touring around for a week or two. In California as well. Does the landscape and community around here inspire you in any way? In many ways. I tell my visitors, if they come out here, they have to make a decision. They have to choose between the pinecone and the clamshell. Astoria has it all. Got fresh water, saltwater, fresh fish, crabs, pine — fir trees. I say pine since I am from the East Coast. Got to remember to say fir. Tortillas and beans, spaghetti, grapefruit juice, wine and spirits: Over the years food and drink has
seemed to be a source of joy in your music — though a recent track, “Bad Monsanto,” that you recorded for the food magazine “Lucky Peach,” which was released through their record club, finds sorrow in the current state of corporate food production systems, specifically GMOs. Well, it’s a big issue with me. I am against Monsanto’s pollution of our food and our land. It’s quite a disaster. To me, it’s as big as fracking and the oil sands and spilling oil in the ocean. Monsanto is right up there with all these major issues that affect the ecology. I am definitely an activist against GMOs and Monsanto — that’s the one I choose to talk about. I have always been in the health food department. I have always tried to eat pure foods, and Monsanto is making that really much harder than it ever has been before. What draws you to write about food? Well, I have to live on it and so do my kids. I eat, and I cook; I buy groceries — it’s just natural if you think about it. Does this come out of any particular tradition? I know a lot of other songs about food that I didn’t write. One that comes to mind right away is “Hungry Hash House.” Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers have a great version of it. There’s other versions too; it’s pretty funny. It’s all about the gross food that is served in this hotel. Years ago I was performing it and tacked on a few of my own verses. One line was, “The eggs they would not crack, if you tried one it would hatch.” So I said, “The eggs they would not crack, because they came from a pterodact.” Speaking of other tracks, on your website, snockonews.net, I have noticed that you are very
gracious about promoting other musicians, friends and things and places that you like — with links to other musicians’ web pages and the inclusion of Snox Jook Box, which includes, I presume, some of your favorite tracks by other artists. What do some of these songs in the Jook Box mean to you personally and how important do you think it is in this day and age to create a musical community? I need to update it. That playlist has been up there for about five years now. I need to refresh it, but I still love all of those songs that are up there. I like it when other people do that. I’ll check out what they like, you know? It’s nice, and it helps you find stuff. I think it’s not really that important, but it’s nice if you are looking for new music or different music. Is that a harder thing to find these days now that there are less record stores? I’m not suffering too much about that. Seattle, Olympia — there’s record stores there. You can go buy records in Astoria. If I wanted a new CD that I know has just been released I would probably have to go to Portland to buy it. What are you working on now? I’m working on three albums at the same time. One is we are releasing a tape from 1976. Another is my new Mississippi Records release, which is a current events kind of thing. And then I’m going to do what you call a vanity publishing — put out my own CD. It’s on my own label, you might say, but I really don’t have a label. Mostly I will handle the distribution myself, but if it starts to sell rapidly I might hook up with a distributor. It’s my own merch table project.

Dulse >Gݞls@ noun 1. Palmaria palmata: a number of edible, ruby-red seaweeds – most commonly harvested at low tide in the summer – which grow off the northern shores of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Formerly known as Rhodymenia palmata prior to a reclassification, this abundant and sustainable red algae is partial to growing on rocks and mussels in shallow intertidal zones and is often dried and eaten raw as a snack, predominately in Ireland, where it is sold as Dillisk or Creathnach. In Japan, where it is known as Darusu, and Iceland, where it is known as Söl, it is a common ingredient in soups and is widely considered to be an excellent source of dietary fiber, protein and trace minerals Origin: From the Gaelic duileasg, meaning “seaweed.” First enters English in 1547 as dylysc, with the current spelling and pronunciation appearing in the early 17th century and relating specifically to a type of edible red algae popular among the peasantry. Possibly derived from the Latin dulcis, meaning “sweet-smelling” or “agreeable.” “Among the most promising foods created were a dulse-based rice cracker and salad dressing. And bacon-tasting strips, which are fried like regular bacon to bring out the flavor.” —Associated Press, “Forget kale, Oregon scientists patent bacon-flavored seaweed,” The Daily Astorian, July 20, 2015, P. A3
