This old man is going on 80, and ever since I rolled into Oregon in ’51 on my beautiful 1947 Harley—and in later years literally soared over the sprawling sagebrush and rim rocks, sharing airspace with eagles—I’ve discovered more and more animals, plants and places and people to keep me busy helping to save. I’ve […]
In April, state Rep. Gene Whisnant (R-Sunriver) amended House Bill 2027 from its original language to, according to the current bill’s summary, prohibit “person, public body or local service district from constructing bridge on Deschutes River within certain segments of Deschutes Scenic Waterway.” The bill was approved by the Oregon House April 27 and scheduled […]
After “Pulp Fiction” came out in 1994, action films were basically reinvented for years to come. As soon as Quentin Tarantino unleashed his masterpiece, filmmakers attempted to capture that same lightning in a bottle by making movies combining sudden violence with characters spouting pop-culture heavy dialogue over hyper-stylized imagery. Films including “Things to do in […]
I produced an event last week called “Toke Talks,” and while I used the magic that is social media (#pleasecometomyeventorIwilldie), I also recognize that not every single person with an interest in cannabis is on Facebook or Instagram. While I’m no Luddite, some people actually get their information through analog channels—and few things are as […]
In honor of the Women’s Issue, The Source staffers were polled on their favorite female musicians and singers of all time. Here’s a shout out to the lady leaders who’ve filled our album collections and been pioneers for women in music. When you lay eyes on Anna Rose, you may not instantly think, “I bet […]
At the end of my recent interview with SeepeopleS band leader Will Bradford, he mentioned that before me he’d spoken to Fox Radio News in St. Louis. Knowing that, it explains why, when I asked about the influences for their latest EP, “HATE,” he cautiously said, “Certainly what’s going on in the world today had […]
She flies with her own wings. Could Oregon have a more fitting state motto? In 1987, then-Secretary of State Barbara Roberts introduced a bill to change Oregon’s motto from the previous Latin version, Alis Volat Propitis, to its English version, “She flies with her own wings.” Kind of a fitting move for the woman who […]
“Those bra-burning, hairy-arm-pitted women! Leaving their husbands to try and make statements! Those FEMINISTS!” 180 years. That’s how long women have (officially) been fighting for equality. Since its early European incarnation, feminism and the women’s movements have been responsible for: a women’s right to vote, work, divorce and choose. Thousands of women (and men) pounded […]
There have been several recent articles in industry literature on the possibility of our next housing crisis occurring as baby boomers sell off their homes en masse. Other literature sees this as a good thing, saying that this will open up the starter home inventory for millennial buyers. A recent report from the Harvard Joint […]
A game, a dance, a fight, a song, a way of life. Just some of the many ways to describe “capoeira,” a centuries-old African-Brazilian musical martial art form.
