...bound newspapers that now towers over my desk; for a national college magazine recommending that I shower with a friend to save water; for making me, a proud Massachusetts moderate (read: deep-blue liberal) feel like a reactionary; for my roommates asking me to “let it mellow.”Yes, let it mellow. One night this fall, they came into my room with a question. “Would it be okay if we let it mellow?” one asked. Let it mellow? “Yeah, you know, not flush the toilet after...
...folk group Blitzen Trapper is here to help define Portland with something else it’s never been able to boast: a country twang. Officially formed in 2000, Blitzen Trapper is led by Eric Earley (vocals/guitar) and five other scruffy, music-making characters.

"He's ruined this country," he said, storming around a stand of figs and mulberries. "Why doesn't someone stop him?" I was reminded of something an acquaintance of mine, a close relative of Ahmadinejad's, once said. "Tehran is like a warehouse of cotton," he told me. "One spark, and the whole place will burn." Suddenly the disturbing prospects of Iran's uncertain place in the world ceased to be an abstraction and became a reality...
