Rhapsodies Long Live Drakes Bay Oyster Co. Wilderness or aquaculture? Both.

BY TOM GOGOLA

H

ave you heard the latest chapter in the fight to keep Drakes Bay Oyster Company open?

Supporters of the Point Reyes National Seashore oyster-farm operation recently took up the cause and filed yet another lawsuit this month to keep the oyster farm operational.

Owner Kevin Lunny is—or was—under a court order to shutter his operation by July 31, after a “final” appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court failed to gain the justices’ attention. Now Lunny has at least another month to farm and sell his oysters, as a federal court sorts out the latest lawsuit, which hinges on the constitutionality of the Department of the Interior’s original shutdown order. (Note: At this point, reportorial objectivity is about to go out the window.)

OK, you guys win: Long live Drakes Bay oysters!

God, it feels good to say that.

The lead plaintiff in the case is Tomales Bay Oyster Co., a competitor to the north. Tomales’ presence signals that this may be a critical moment for the North Bay aquaculture economy as a whole, and that voracious demand for the bivalve won’t ease just because Drakes Bay Oyster Co. is pushed out of business.

What then for oyster lovers? Who’s going to be the first to suggest that the state import BP-fouled bivalves from the Gulf of Mexico to replace what would be lost at Drakes Bay Oyster Co.?

Wilderness-focused activists say Lunny should be held to the terms of his lease, which expired in 2012 and set off the legal battle. Those activists say the farm should revert to its natural state, and that proLunny forces should lay off the appeals to the feds and the palate.

Anyone who has studied the issue should have some ambivalence: Do you want sustainable aquaculture or a vast tract of pristine wilderness? And do we really have to pick one? I visited the facility a few months ago and was left surprised that the operation, for all the outsized controversy surrounding it, is actually quite small.

The oysters, on the other hand, are huge and luscious.

It’s over for this reporter: Drakes Bay forever! To the ramparts with the shucking knife!

XOXO

Thank you for your article on the band X (“Mark the Spot,” July 23), which, as far as I am concerned, was the last great band (that is until the White Stripes). My first wife and I must have seen them at least 50 times, maybe more. They signed my wife’s boogie board on our way back from the beach at a record signing. (I think it was at the old Tower Records in Westwood.)

Best show I saw had Dave Alvin, who replaced Billy Zoom, and Tony Gilkyson, both on guitar, giving the band a much fuller sound. They tore it up. Man, those were the days.

P.S. If John Doe and Exene had had a kid, it would have been Jack White.

Water Watchers More oversight is needed on winery water use (“Of Water and Wine,” July 23)!

Around Healdsburg, we’re seeing overhead sprinklers in vineyards running 24/7, for days at a time. Not all growers are conserving! Check out this trailer for Russian River, All Rivers. It will delve into the facts of the wine industry’s water use in the North Bay area.

DAISY Via online

I don’t know where Daisy is seeing sprinklers on in vineyards 24/7. It does not happen! If she is really seeing this she should notify someone. I think that you better take a look around and see which of your neighbors are irrigating their yards and watering lawns that are only for looks. The farmers are continuously using the newest technology to monitor their water use and to conserve. Keep in mind that this is an agricultural community.

Yes, wine grapes are the main crop, and the wine industry is directly related to a minimum of 55,000 employees in Sonoma County.

I think that you should also note that the Russian River is a managed water system. If there were no reservoirs, the river would be dry right now and the people who would be most affected are the ones who get their water from the municipalities that use the most water to irrigate landscape.

Not a Fair Fight My daughter is 22 months old. I want her to grow up in a world where we won’t see the type of atrocities going on right now in Gaza. The civilians in Gaza have no protection from the Israeli military bombing. Where can these men, women and children go when there is no safe place? U.N. shelters in schools as well as hospitals are being hit. It’s not a fair fight when a powerful military is bombing people living under occupation, surrounded by a wall with checkpoints preventing any exit. The term disproportionate seems insufficient. It’s time for the world to intervene, we need more than a daylong truce, because all lives matter, regardless of borders, walls or sides. We are all responsible.

I grew up with a Palestinian stepfather, and am fortunate enough to have discovered the culture and to know how warm, well-educated and beautiful the Palestinian people are. I’ve also been aware of the decades of injustice they have been dealt living under occupation.

I am not anti-Israeli, only against the Israeli policies which impoverish and deny basic human rights. The Irish were considered terrorists for fighting against British rule, so were the Basque for fighting for their identity and rights.

Nelson Mandela spent years in prison for his fight against apartheid. We now celebrate these struggles, these cultures for their contribution to the world. Why

THIS MODERN WORLD

can’t we open our eyes and hearts and do the same for the Palestinians?

Good Dogs I was touched by the missive Jack Irving wrote (Open Mic, July 23) about his sweet friend Kern-Dog. Thank you both immensely. I am one of your more conservative fans here in Healdsburg, not normally given to touchy-feely sentiments, but I never, ever miss the Bohemian. Lord did this homage strike an emotional chord, though!

Running on the ranch now is Ali. Rio died three years ago after being struck by a car four days before Christmas outside the fire station where I volunteered for 20 years.

Oh, how Kern-Dog’s loss must have hurt! I salute you Mr. Irving for writing about your pal. They strike a crazy emotional chord for those of us who are used to death and dying, but we will take our animals’ memories, pleasantly, to the grave. Thank you for honoring our pals.

The Santa Rosa Junior College Board of Trustees voted unanimously on July 22 to place a $410 million capital-improvement bond on the November ballot.

Officials aired a laundry list of much-needed improvements at the board meeting, which was attended by school faculty and staff.

Among the proposed improvements: a quarter-billion dollars in new construction and renovation; $60 million in modernization of existing buildings; and $74 million for information-technology upgrades.

The remaining bond money would be spread between various departments for maintenance, repairs and improvements.

The spending-priority list the board presented was not an actual itemization but a guideline of what the board may approve if the bond measure passes. Final approval of any project would still need to come from the board.

UNION YES Local UNITE HERE president Wei-Ling Huber hopes unionization of the Graton Casino will lead

to collaboration with the casino’s Las Vegas–based operator.

The New Deal

Union bargaining table gives Station Casinos chance to show new face BY TOM GOGOLA

T

he vote to unionize workers at the Graton Resort & Casino was certified last week. Now 600 service workers and the UNITE HERE union will negotiate a contract—but with whom?

“I can’t discuss that, and I don’t know yet,” says Graton Rancheria tribal leader Greg Sarris, who

spearheaded the casino deal.

Sarris worked with UNITE HERE Local 2850 to organize the union election at Graton Casino in June. The vote was held in the casino in a common room rented to UNITE HERE. The casino is owned by the tribe but operated by Las Vegas– based Station Casinos. None of its 18 Vegas-area casinos is a union shop.

UNITE HERE, which represents

hospitality and other service workers around the country, lauded the union-friendly efforts of the Graton Rancheria, which allowed the vote to go forward free from “interference from the employer,” according to a statement from the union.

“We fully respect and support the tribe’s neutrality agreement with the union,” says Station Casinos spokeswoman Lori Nelson in an email. ) 10

Speakers who addressed the board last Tuesday agreed that money is needed, but also questioned an apparent lack of detail over how the board would actually distribute the funds.

A citizen oversight committee would review board decisions and provide yearly reports about its activities. But the oversight committee will lack veto power, and deliberations will take place outside of public scrutiny.

The pro-union vote is great news for cooks and custodians at the Rohnert Park casino—a contract likely means greater job stability and expanded health benefits—but it’s also good public relations for Station Casinos.

“I don’t know if you’ve done your research,” says Sarris, “but Station is not particularly union-friendly.”

Casino owners on Station’s home turf are at a natural advantage because of Nevada’s union-restrictive right-to-work laws. Right-to-work laws, for example, allow non-union workers to avoid paying union dues but still enjoy the benefits of union membership.

Culinary workers at Station Casinos in Las Vegas sued the company in 2010 and claimed it had harassed pro-union workers with surveillance and interrogations of employees interested in unionizing, according to court documents.

Company officials have long charged that if anyone was being harassed at the 18 non-union casinos owned by Station, it was the workers, who didn’t want to be in a union.

“Station Casinos is proemployee, not anti-union,” says Nelson.

But a 2012 finding from the National Labor Relations Board (which followed a ruling from administrative law judge Geoffrey Carter) ruled that Station had violated 82 federal labor laws in trying to keep UNITE HERE out of its Vegas casinos.

UNITE HERE local president Wei-Ling Huber says the bargaining process will likely turn on worker issues, with negotiations over wages and benefits probably falling to tribal leaders. Station Casinos would bargain with the union over job descriptions and duties, performance standards and other operational issues, she says.

That’s news to Station Casinos.

The company doesn’t plan to be present at the negotiating table, “as this is an agreement between the union and the tribe,” says Nelson.

The union vote came as the Graton Casino emerged as a post-

recession success story for Station Casinos, whose majority-share owners are brothers Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta.

Station posted solid earnings in March, according to a statement from the company.

The grand opening of Graton Casino in November 2013 was a highlight, the company says, and the company paid off $50 million in long-term debt.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company received an $8.2 million development fee and $6.5 million in management fees from revenues generated at the new casino.

That’s a nifty turnabout from the brothers’ fortunes at the time of the 2007 economic crash, which hit the gaming industry hard.

Nevada was among the worst in home foreclosure rates nationwide, as Station closed casinos and struggled with fallout from a 2007 partnership with private-equity giant Colony Capital.

In that deal, Colony and the brothers took the company private in a $5.7 billion leveraged buyout. Colony partially financed the buyout via an equity fund it created with revenue from casino properties under its control, including Station. That fund was called Colony VIII, according to the Colony website.

But the deal was bad news for casino workers, as the StationColony deal crashed along with the economy, just months after it was signed. Station eventually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009.

UNITE HERE organizers in Las Vegas claimed that the combination of the recession and the buyout cost more than 2,000 jobs at Station Casinos. The company forcefully disputes the allegation.

And despite the company’s insistence that contract negotiations in Rohnert Park will be between the tribe and the union, UNITE HERE’s Huber sees an opportunity to build a bridge with the corporate operators.

“We’ll be at the table working on issues together and collaborating on a contract,” says Huber.

“Hopefully, we’ll have some insights into how to bridge some of the differences in Las Vegas.”

of the association, “primarily [aimed] at recovering the winter and spring run Chinook.” The former is on a federal list of endangered species; the latter is considered a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, says McManus The study was prepared in conjunction with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and found that, because of dams, “Chinook salmon and steelhead are blocked from 90 percent of their historical spawning habitat in the valley.”

The problem is compounded by “water withdrawals, commercial and recreational fisheries, the introduction of non-native fish, and legacy effects of hatcheries, [which] all contribute to declining populations,” according to a summary of the report.

McManus notes that a “recovery plan is not legally enforceable,” but provides a template for restoration of salmon-spawning grounds in and around the Sacramento River. The enforcement backbone to the NMFS plan is contained in a supplemental “biological opinion” from NMFS scientists.

That opinion addresses damage done to the Central Valley by all the various dams, water re-routes and other salmon-distressing water-flow management, agriculture projects.

“The biological opinion is the hammer,” says McManus. “It says things like, ‘Thou shalt, thou must.’ But the recovery plan is basically, ‘If you want to recover the fishery, do this.’”

The NMFS plan, if implemented, could be good news for the fall Chinook run, says McManus. “The fall run Chinook is the target of sport and commercial fishermen off the Marin and Sonoma coast, and even in the bay. To the extent that the recovery plan goals are implemented, one could see a benefit to the fall run, which is what we’re all targeting.”

SHUCK, SLURP AND REPEAT Bodega Bay Oyster Co. has been farming Tomales Bay shellfish for nearly 30 years.

Oysters to Go Bodega Bay Oyster Co. is a new roadside attraction

BY STETT HOLBROOK

H

og Island and Tomales Bay oyster companies are the best-known shuck-yourown-oyster outposts. But if you don’t want to make the trip out Highway 1 to West Marin, you’ve now got a closer option in Sonoma County: Petaluma’s Bodega Bay Oyster Company.

Unlike its competitors in West Marin, the two-and-a-half-monthold Bodega Bay Oyster Company doesn’t offer picnic space to pop and eat your oysters. This is strictly a takeout operation, but there are plans to open a restaurant and raw bar next year in the adjacent space. For now, make a pit stop for oysters, and go and eat Oysters are kind of like sushi, in that most people eat them in restaurants rather than at

home. Maybe it’s because of the perceived difficulty of opening an oyster or trepidation over freshness, but the common practice is to go out for oysters.

The impeccable freshness of Bodega Bay’s oysters, however, mean they are highly portable.

I suggest grabbing a dozen or two and continuing to head west on Valley Ford Road, and take them right to the beach. Pack a shucking knife, a towel to hold the oysters while your pry open the

shells, a bottle of Cholula picante sauce, and you’re all set. Cold beer is also highly recommended. The folks at the market will send you off with plenty of ice to keep them cold. Empty shells? Toss them on the sand. I can’t think of better ocean-side dining.

Given the store’s roadside location on Valley Ford Road a few miles from the ocean, most customers stop on their way to the beach or on their way home to keep the beach-party vibe going, says Lindsey Strain, whose father, Martin Strain, started raising oysters nearly 30 years ago.

The oysters come from the Pt. Reyes Oyster Company’s (do you spot a pattern in naming conventions here?), 90 acres of production in and around Tomales Bay. Until now, the bivalves were only available wholesale or at restaurants like Nick’s Cove.

The shop sells three kinds of oysters: Miyagi, Kumamoto and Virginica. The Miyagis and Kumamtos are available in a variety of sizes. I like the smaller ones best. The Kumamotos pack an intense, briny flavor that’s softened by the sweetness of the meat. My favorites, though, are the Virginica, or Atlantic, oysters, tiny little orbs of meat with a racy, clean, buttery flavor.

In addition to oysters, the market sells Manila clams, raised in the Walker Creek Estero, and so-called Bodega gallo mussels, a species grown in Tomales Bay that’s different from the California sea mussels typically seen growing on coastal rocks and piers.

But it’s the oysters that are real attraction. If you’re like me, you’ll want to grab some more to take back home after your trip to beach.

SMALL BITES

Laguna Farms Turns 30 After 30 years, Sebastopol’s Laguna Farms has become a household name among foodconscious Sonoma County residents. At the solar-powered farm, cold storage holds some of the 400 or so CSA boxes for weekly pick up, and fresh produce, herbs, local eggs and other farm products are available for purchase. It’s like a farmers market that’s open more than once a week. The produce is sold at regular farmers markets in Sebastopol, Oakmont, Petaluma and Santa Rosa too.

Founder Scott Mathieson was a pioneer of the West Coast CSA movement in the ’80s, and he sold the business in 2011 to two longtime employees, Jennifer Branham and Ignacio Romero. They continue the organic-but-not-certified practices and have expanded to host events, renewable energy practices and youth education about growing food. Heck, even grownup kids find the youth garden fascinating and can learn a thing or two about growing food.

Laguna Farms holds its annual Laguna Fest Aug. 17. During the day-long event, participants can learn how to create fire by friction, tour the Laguna de Santa Rosa, ask experts for garden advice, try herbal preparations, find something to wear in an up-cycled clothing swap and learn about composting.

Laguna Farms is located at 1764 Copper Road, Sebastopol. 707.823.0823.

That Grape from Galicia Thick-skinned, salty and a little bitter, local Albariño makes good

BY JAMES KNIGHT

T

he way the story usually goes, some Bordeaux-besotted character vows to make wines that “rival the best of France.” Who dreams of besting the wines of Rías Baixas, Spain? Hoping to score two or three local specimens of Albariño, an aromatic, “alternative” white varietal made from a thick-skinned grape native to northwestern Spain, and grown on just 21 acres in Sonoma and Napa counties, I was surprised to find more than a few. With International Albariño Day on Aug. 2, I set off on a little winetasting fiesta.

Peter Franus 2013 Napa Valley Albariño ($26) This wine hits all the right notes. Cool, gentle aromas of applesauce, guava, pear and melon rind precede a surprisingly rich, Roussanne-like palate, with a characteristic salty sensation—often said, particularly of Spanish Albariño, to evoke the damp, Galician coast. The grapes are from a ranch south of Napa that’s also home to the “Oreo cows” familiar to highway motorists.

Gordian Knot 2012 Russian River Valley Albariño ($23) After touring Spain, Anne Giere and Tim Meinken replanted one acre of their estate to Albariño. Here’s a floral aroma, yellow roses and lemon skin, with tangy flavors of lemon and unripe pear, yet persistent on the palate. Try this instead of Pinot Grigio.

Saddleback 2012 Carneros Albariño ($24) Completely different, and distinctly toasty-oaky, with lemon, pear and lavender.

But the bitter melon palate is nothing like the expected butterball.

Pineapple and mango come in later, bringing it all together.

Imagery Estate 2013 Sonoma Valley Albariño ($29) More like a Sauvignon Blanc, with green, “cat pee” and jasmine aromas, bitter melon, bits of pear and peach; crisp and dry.

Marimar Estate 2013 Russian River Valley Albariño ($32) Marimar Torres grows a little Albariño alongside Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The most delicately floral of the bunch, with lime blossom, this feels like Pinot Blanc—pear and melon and a hint of that salty persistence.

Artesa 2013 Carneros Albariño ($28) Apropos offering from this Spanish-owned winery. Here the fragrance is more of ripe, brown-speckled golden apples, less of melon. Crisp palate with just enough of that salty weight to drink nicely with a steak salad.

Mahoney 2011 Las Brisas Vineyard Carneros Albariño ($20) The smoky, oaky nose suggests barrel fermentation, with sweet caramel, pineapple and mango, but flavors of salted kiwi marinated in the juice of underripe pears. Sneak this into a paper bag tasting and watch your friends’ confident “Ah, Cali Chardonnay” pronouncements disintegrate into confusion over this deliciously different, Galician anomaly.

Dylanologists dig up dirt on the DylanLondon connection

BY JONAH RASKIN

W

hat does Bob Dylan have in common with Sonoma County’s literary legend Jack London? Not much, if you ask die-hard London fans.

But ask renowned Dylanologist Scott Warmuth and you’ll hear a different story.

The New York Times, The New Yorker and The Daily Beast have all paid homage to Warmuth’s scintillating brand of scholarship, which has stirred up the Dylan world. According to Warmuth, the American folksinger purloined words, phrases and sentences by the dozens from the novels, short stories and letters written by the author of The Call of the Wild, White Fang and nearly 50 other books published from about 1900 to 1916.

All the supposedly borrowed lines appear in Dylan’s memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, published in 2004.

In feisty articles such as the “Dylan Dossier: The Jack London File” and “Charlatan Bob: Deconstructing Dylan’s Chronicles: Volume One” that were published online and in the pages of The New Haven Register, Warmuth presents strong evidence of what might be called literary larceny. To make his point, Warmuth prints the original London texts and Dylan’s copies so that readers can compare and contrast.

In the second of his classic dog stories, Jack London writes, “Life had a thousand faces and White Fang found he must meet them all.” In Chronicles, Dylan writes, “A folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them ) 18

BOHEMIAN GROOVE Bob Dylan’s borrowings reveal that he read Jack London’s work widely.

Dylan ( 17 all if you want to play this stuff.”

In the short story “The White Silence,” London writes that in the Arctic, “all movement ceases, the sky clears, the heavens are as brass; the slightest whisper seems sacrilege.” In Chronicles, Dylan writes, apropos of country-andWestern singer Hank Williams, “When I hear Hank sing, all movement ceases. The slightest whisper seems sacrilege.”

Many of Dylan’s adaptations of London are both playful and brilliant. In his article “Song of the Wolf,” Warmuth points to a passage in which London observes that his main character

is “forced to the edge of the fire or the deep snow” and that “ten thousand years of culture fell from him, and he was a cave-dweller.”

Dylan borrowed the imagery and describes Johnny Cash as a kind of “cave dweller” who “sounds like he’s at the edge of the fire, or in the deep snow, or in a ghostly forest.”

Other similarities are less potent. In “Bâtard,” yet another dog story, London uses the phrase “a mass of bristling hair.”

Dylan purloined it and used it to describe folk singer Dave Van Ronk—the inspiration for the Coen brothers movie Inside Llewyn Davis—as “a mass of bristling hair.”

No big deal, readers might say.

But Warmuth insists that when you add them all up, Dylan’s borrowings are a big deal, that they show that the singer read London’s work widely, that he was captivated by London’s language and that he felt so strongly about it that he inserted huge chunks of it into his own work. Call Dylan a blatant copycat or a lyricist in love with London’s writing.

The title of Warmuth’s article in The New Haven Register, “Charlatan Bob,” suggests that he wanted to expose the folksinger as a fraud. Perhaps he did. Today, however, he doesn’t call Dylan a “charlatan” or a thief. “To nail him down has never been my goal,” he

says in a phone interview from his home in Arizona. “From the start, I’ve wanted to know what books Dylan reads and how his creative process operates, because his art is so compelling.”

Warmuth is one of several students of Dylan’s work profiled in David Kinney’s Dylanologists: Adventures in the Land of Bob, a fast-paced book released this spring about Dylan’s fans and followers that reveals a lot about Dylan himself. As Kinney recognizes, sometimes it helps to take a sideways glance at an artist and not look him directly in the face.

Kinney borrows the conceit for his book from The Shakespeare

to use other writers’ plots, says one biographer.

Wars, a non-academic study in which author Ron Rosenbaum doesn’t write about Shakespeare, as one might expect, but about the legendary scholars who have written about Shakespeare, yet another genius who pilfered and tweaked material from historians who preceded him.

Jack London was as big a thief as Shakespeare, though he got into more trouble than the Bard.

Copyright law posed more of a problem for writers in 1900 than in 1600. All his life London borrowed from his favorite authors and his literary role models, some of them famous, such as Rudyard Kipling. Not surprisingly he was labeled the “Kipling of the Arctic.”

Other writers whose work he looted were less well-known, such as Egerton Young, the author of My Dogs in the Northland, published in 1902, one year prior to the appearance of London’s own shaggy-dog story, The Call of the Wild. When copyright issues arose, London usually won; he had the money to defend

himself in court and knew how to manipulate the media.

Andrew Sinclair, author of Jack: A Biography of Jack London says, “Jack certainly thought that he had the right to use other people’s plots in the same way as he used other people’s political ideas.”

Jack London never drew clear lines to divide fact from fantasy or to separate imitation from originality. He also recognized that copying could be the sincerest form of flattery, and that young talented writers improved by mimicking veteran authors.

Ever since the Renaissance—and perhaps before—new writers have cannibalized old writers, and the literature of the present day has fed on the literature of the past.

As the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde astutely noted, “Talent borrows, genius steals.” He surely had himself in mind, and maybe Jack London too. If he were alive today, Wilde would recognize Bob Dylan as yet another genius and literary thief. In his own defense, Dylan might borrow from Jack London, who said, “I think the

Warmuth knows the Dylan discography backward and forward. “I’m a Blonde on Blonde baby,” he says. “The first album I heard was Desire, when I was 10.

My parents had it.”

Blonde on Blonde is, as he knows, as tangled as any Dylan album. On the 12th cut, “4th Time Around,” Dylan offers his take on “Norwegian Wood,” Lennon’s homage to Dylan. Princeton University historian Sean Wilentz describes the tune as “Bob Dylan impersonating John Lennon impersonating Dylan.”

For more than 60 years, Dylan fans have been scratching their heads and trying to figure him out, even when he seems obvious. When squares and traditionalists complained they couldn’t understand his 1963 ballad “Blowing in the Wind,” Dylan explained tongue-in-cheek, “There ain’t too much I can say about this song except that the answer is blowing in the wind.”

Everybody and anybody who was hip in 1963 knew exactly what he meant. The only Americans who didn’t understand belonged on the far side of the generation gap. “Something is happening here,” Dylan sings in “Ballad of a Thin Man,” one of the most memorable tracks on Highway 61 Revisited, his sixth studio album, recorded the same year as the 1965 Newport Folk Festival when he went electric. All Dylan fans know the line that follows it: “But you don’t know what’s happening here, do you, Mr. Jones.”

Like his mentor, Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, Dylan wanted his fans to dig deeply into his work.

Then, too, in the spirit of poet Walt Whitman, he crafted songs about himself, about America and about ordinary Americans. To his own voice he’s added the voices of the famous, the notorious and the anonymous, hoping listeners would turn up the volume, tune into the words and identify pilfered phrases, images and sounds. What he’s done is what singers often do: “cover” the work of others.

Jack London “covered” other writers too, though London fans and scholars are often embarrassed by them. ) 20

LITERARY LARCENRY? Jack London believed he had the right

whole subject of plagiarism is absurd. I can conceive of no more laughable spectacle than that of a human standing up on his hind legs and yowling plagiarism. No man with a vivid imagination needs to plagiarize.”

According to musicologist Greil Marcus, Dylan fans—more than the fans of any other ’60s band, including the Beatles, the Stones and the Grateful Dead—assume that his songs are richly encoded and that it’s their mission in life to dig out the hidden messages and decode them. What’s perhaps more significant is that Dylan’s elliptical writings have given birth to the tribe of “Dylanologists,” including the very first, A. J. Weberman, and the very best, Scott Warmuth.

In New York in the 1970s, Weberman claimed that he sorted through Dylan’s garbage and found a motherload of confidential stuff. Maybe he did. Maybe he just talked trash.

Scholars have poked holes in the stories about his adventures in dumpsterland. He did, however, coin, or at least popularize, the words “garbology” and “Dylanology.” A pioneer in the field, Weberman published the infamous Dylan to English Dictionary and argued that many of Dylan’s songs were about and specifically written for him.

Warmuth, the dean of Dylanologists, and Kinney, student of Dylanology, seem like fictional characters who have wandered from a Jack London tale: twins and doubles who genuinely admire one another.

Keen critics of pop culture, both were shaped by the kinds of college classes that train students to discover influences and then provide credit where credit is due.

Many of us were. Still, they both gave up on dreary footnotes and hoary bibliographies ages ago.

A liberal arts major in college, Warmuth was born in 1966, 90 years after London, an illegitimate kid traumatized by the circumstances of his own birth, arrived in the world, and 25 years after Abram and Beatrice Zimmerman, descendants of Russian Jews, named their infant son Robert Allen.

Moreover, an older generation of London biographers knows little if anything about Bob Dylan. Earle Labor, author of the deďŹ nitive London biography, 2013’s Jack London: An American Life, says, “I’ve heard about the Bob Dylan connection, but don’t know more than that. I’d like to know what you discover.â€? Even younger “Londonologists,â€? as one might call them, aren’t aware of the link.

Jeff Falconer, a docent at the Jack London State Historic Park and a longtime fan of both London and Dylan, didn’t know Dylan borrowed from London. “I don’t think Jack would have been offended by Dylan’s borrowings,� he says, “though if he knew how much money he had, he might hit him up.� He added, “I like the idea that Dylan digs London.�

Nearly a hundred years after

his death, London’s books still sell. Dylan keeps on writing and performing. Scott Warmuth continues to read London and listen to Blonde on Blonde and Desire. “I recognized long ago that, like London, Dylan could have rested on his laurels,â€? Warmuth says, then pauses a moment and adds, “I’m impressed that he tours at a pace that would tire folks half his age and that he keeps trying new things. Before listeners can ďŹ gure out his latest album, he’s already on to the next. There’s always more to say about Dylan. I don’t know what more one could want from an artist.â€?

Jonah Raskin is the editor of ‘The Radical Jack London: Writings on War and Revolution’ and the author of ‘Burning Down the House: Jack London and the 1913 Wolf House Fire.’ He taught Jack London’s work at Sonoma State University, where he worked for 30 years.

Now in its seventh year, the Petaluma Music Festival is one of the most popular and community-friendly festivals in the North Bay. The headliner this year is New Orleans funk and jazz jam band Galactic.

Rock and soul favorites the Mother Hips, country-and-western act Brokedown in Bakersfield and the Brooklyn funk and soul band Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds round out the bill. These performers will appear on three stages throughout the day. There will also be a silent auction, Lagunitas beers and specialty foods.

All proceeds benefit music education programs for Petaluma area public schools. The Petaluma Music Festival takes place on Saturday, Aug. 2, at the Petaluma Fairgrounds, 100 Fairgrounds Drive, Petaluma. Noon. $40; $85 VIP. Petalumamusicfestival.org.

For the last eight years, photographer Penny Wolin has traveled the United States documenting and interviewing other American photographers of Jewish ancestry, chronicling the culture and different artists’ reactions to their heritage.

Her previous photo documentary on the subject, The Jews of Wyoming, exhibited solo at the Smithsonian Institution, and now Wolin has a new project that she will be discussing and previewing called Descendants of Light. Wolin examined the works of photographers like Annie Leibovitz and Joel Meyerowitz, and a selection of Wolin’s photos and her new book will be on display when she gives a special arts lecture on Saturday, Aug. 2, at Calabi Gallery, 456 10th St., Santa Rosa.

San Francisco’s Avi Vinocur and North Carolina’s Patrick Dyer Wolf are blue-collar songwriters playing roots and country, who began collaborating after meeting in San Francisco in 2007. While looking for an appropriate name for their dusty, catchy melodies, they landed on an unincorporated town in Texas that lay exactly halfway between their respective hometowns. Goodnight, Texas was born and immediately hooked audiences with a blend of hard-rocking stompers, lonesome ballads and dynamic live performances.

This week, Goodnight, Texas comes to the North Bay when they play as part of the Summer Concert Series on Sunday, Aug. 3, at Long Meadow Ranch Winery and Farmstead. 738 Main St., St. Helena. 2pm. $25–$35. 707.963.4555.

Described as “animated sounds for cartoons that never happened,” the wild, unpredictable jazz of Dr. Abacus comes to Smiley’s Saloon for a night of crazy sounds and zany antics. The five members of Dr. Abacus don festive costumes, wield a cacophony of horns and percussion and blare a loony blend of hyperactive music and imaginative compositions—look no further than their old-timey “Banana Peel Two Step” to hear the wildness. Their live shows never fail to “animate” audiences.

Dr. Abacus plays on Thursday, July 31, at Smiley’s Saloon, 41 Wharf Road, Bolinas, 8pm. Free. 415.868.1311.

Arts Ideas NOW HEAR THIS This WWII-era gun bunker above Rodeo Beach will become an unlikely soundstage.

Waves of Sound ‘The Infinite Swell’ resonates in Marin Headlands

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

A

rtist and curator Alan So sees—or rather, hears—art differently. So in 1998, he founded the San Francisco nonprofit Mediate, an art group dedicated to redefining boundaries in the art world with unique and multi-sensory experiences.

“We’re just such a visual world, and a visual community, that art is considered visual,” explains So. “There wasn’t a really huge sense in the art world that sound was seen as an art form. I wanted to push that a little. I wanted to say sound is art, and sound can

be explored in many different realms.”

With that in mind, Mediate’s multidisciplinary artists founded the Soundwave Festival in 2002, a biennial event that delves into new themes with a season of art installations throughout the Bay Area. The festival’s sixth season comes to the Marin Headlands on Sunday, Aug. 3, with a performance in Battery Townsley at Fort Cronkhite called “The Infinite Swell.”

This season’s theme is “water,” a topic chosen not only for its present scarcity in California but for the mystery and power it holds.

Artists from around the country are invited to express their

relationship with sound and water.

“The Infinite Swell,” according to So, is the most adventurous event of this season.

“It’s one of the most resonant spaces I’ve ever been to in my life,” he says of Battery Townsley, a former military installation built into the Marin County bluff that used to house guns aimed toward the ocean. It was largely abandoned after World War II, and is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It is full of tunnels and passageways that open into expansive concrete rooms, and acts like a megaphone to create amazing reverberations.

“The Infinite Swell” offers three

separate concert sets, taking audiences into different parts of the battery. Three artists, well known in their own right, explore water in its many forms and with varied expressions.

Travis Johns, a Bay Area native now living on the East Coast, builds instruments. For this installation, he has constructed a sonograph that measures vibrations, like a seismograph.

But instead of earthquakes, it measures sound vibrations and creates art from a pen that records the vibrations. Johns uses the naturally occurring pools of water, where battleship guns used to sit, to generate vibrations and sound— and one-of-a-kind art prints— which he’ll be giving away.

Chris Duncan is an Oaklandbased artist known for everything from paintings to video and sound art. He has been recording sounds in a cave just below the battery at sea level, and he’s using those recordings to create a reverberating performance while testing the sonic possibilities of ice.

Jim Haynes, who, like a scientist, creates art through chemical reactions, is known as the “rust master.” For this installation, Haynes uses steam and corrosion to create a reactive process with vibration to discover the sounds that accompany a largely visual process.

The “Infinite Swell” is no ordinary concert experience, and the adventure begins with the hike 20 to 30 minutes uphill from the parking lot to the battery site. Jackets and blankets are encouraged, as the site is often subject to fog and wind. The only other requirement is an open mind.

‘The Infinite Swell’ takes place Sunday, Aug. 3. Parking is at Rodeo Beach, Mitchell Road, Marin Headlands.

Performance starts at 6pm; arrive by 5:30pm. $15–$20. 415.484.6278.

STRIKE A POSE ‘Cabaret’ is the first of six works staged by new North Bay theater company.

Cabaret Time North Bay Stage Co. makes its debut

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

‘T

here will be no swastikas on bare bottoms in this production, because I don’t know that anyone really wants to see that.”

Director John DeGaetano, whose high-energy production of Cabaret just opened at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, is referring to the legendary 1998 Broadway production of the John Kander and Fred Ebb musical in which the Master of Ceremonies (played by Alan Cumming), bares his bottom, revealing the Nazi insignia.

Though DeGaetano’s production uses the same script as the 1998 version—staged at Wells Fargo as an actual 1931-style Berlin cabaret, complete with German food and German beers served at patrons’ tables—he admits that this Cabaret doesn’t step so far

‘Cabaret’ runs Friday–Sunday through Aug. 10 at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. 50 Mark West Spring Road, Santa Rosa. Friday–Saturday, 8pm; 2pm matinees on Sunday. $36.

across the boundaries of taste.

“Ours is not quite as raunchy as that one,” he confesses.

For the long-time local actordirector, associated for years with the Raven Players in Healdsburg, Cabaret represents more than just a new opportunity to stage one of the world’s most successful musicals.

With this show, DeGaetano kicks off the start of a brand-new theater company. North Bay Stage Company (www.northbaystageco.org) was formed to give many of DeGaetano’s colleagues in Healdsburg new opportunities, and with a performance space in Santa Rosa, the company hopes to draw larger audiences to experience their work. Cabaret is the first of six shows announced for the company’s inaugural season.

“The idea behind the new company is to broaden the footprint for some of our local actors,” DeGaetano says.

“Healdsburg was so far away, it was a little hard for some actors to make it all the way up there. And now we have a shot at drawing more talent from San Francisco and the East Bay too.”

Case in point, Cabaret features San Francisco performer Michelle Jasso in the lead role of Sally Bowles, and Pedro Rodeles, from Berkeley, as the Master of Ceremonies, who will share the part with Bonnie Jean Shelton, marking a rare appearance by a woman in the iconic, slightly sinister role.

It’s just one of many surprises DeGaetano has worked into the familiar but enduringly popular story. “There are definitely a few other surprises in the show,” he says. “It’s a bit of a different concept than what people have experienced before. Yes, Cabaret is a popular piece, and it’s been done many times—but I promise you, you’ve never seen it like this.”

‘Boyhood’ chronicles a fictional family over 13 years

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

I

n the engrossing Boyhood, Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise, School of Rock) follows a small group of actors over the course of 12 real-time years. Mason (Ellar Coltrane) and his sister, Samantha (Lorelei Linklater), live with their mother, Olivia (Patricia Arquette). Father Mason Sr., known as Dad (Ethan Hawke), lives elsewhere. We see the actors age in their roles over the course of a decade, and it all happens without the big crises: no weddings, no funerals, no arrests, no sieges by cancer.

As Mason grows from five to 18, Boyhood becomes his movie. He’s in almost every scene. It may be that Linklater had something more familyfocused in mind when he began; sister Samantha, for instance, is a delightful brat but later becomes laid-back and secretive.

As for mom and dad, Hawke’s character grows up in tandem with his

son but maybe has a harder time for it, trading his GTO for a minivan and growing a sad little mustache. And Olivia is drawn to men who look like they have it figured out, but who turn out to be Republican martinets with personal problems.

Boyhood is grounded in the cultural war. We see the kids campaigning in their neighborhood for Obama, and later, when Mason celebrates his 15th birthday at his step-grandparent’s place in the piney woods, his presents are a 20-gauge shotgun and a Bible with his name embossed on the cover in gold.

It’s an affectionate visit, even if Mason doesn’t know how to take it.

If there is such a thing as history too recent to remember, there’s also such a thing as memories too beautiful to carry in the mind. Boyhood recovers them, or at least the memories like them.

Linklater is a constant student, gladly learning and gladly teaching.

‘Boyhood’ is playing at the Rafael Film Center, 118 Fourth St., San Rafael.

JERSEY SCORE Real Estate’s latest

release probes deeper material.

Boys of Summer The alluring properties of Real Estate

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

F

ormed in suburban Ridgewood, N.J., Real Estate deliver shimmering summer jams on songs boasting increasingly contemplative themes. Their deceptively simple and subtle melodies hypnotize and transport audiences back to hazy memories of youth, though the band’s latest album, Atlas, hints at a dawning realization that summers don’t last forever.

This week, Real Estate comes to Sonoma County, performing on Saturday, Aug. 2, at Gundlach Bundschu Winery, in a special outdoor concert with support from S.F. indie band Sonny & the

Sunsets and Brooklyn-based solo artist Kevin Morby.

The members of Real Estate were born and bred on countryclub links and infused with smalltown boredom, and their initial self-titled debut in 2008 coasted on those easy vibes. Frontman Martin Courtney, bassist Alex Bleeker and guitarist Matthew Mondanile all share songwriting credits (the band’s lineup is rounded out with drummer Jackson Pollis and keyboardist Matt Kallman) and returned with their 2011 sophomore release, Days.

Days took steps toward sophistication and restraint. Open acoustic chords layered with swirling lead parts and stirring vocal melodies earned praise from critics and adoration from fans for their blend of Beach Boys–inspired harmonies and jangly R.E.M.styled guitar hooks.

It would be three years before Real Estate released Atlas, and in that time the band clearly matured in both sound and feeling.

Released in March, Atlas has earned even higher praise and a debut spot at number 34 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart.

Atlas is an important work for the band, not only for its unshakable hooks and rhythms, but for its evolving depth. The album opens with the plaintive “Had to Hear” before diving into the nostalgic “Past Lives” and the album’s first single, “Talking Backwards.” The clean, delicate lead parts and upbeat vocals take on a dreamy Steely-Dan-meets-the-Shins sound.

Yet the group keeps the pace light, and the music never drags.

“I’m just trying to make some sense of this before I lose another year,” sings Courtney on standout song “The Bend,” which, like “Horizon,” tenderly explores the theme of the relentlessly approaching future. Throughout, the band’s awareness of its place in time and their desire to navigate with a conscious pace makes Atlas their most musically cohesive and satisfying work yet.

LOL Comedy showcase comes to Santa Rosa Thanks to Comedy Central, YouTube, the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, et al., comedians are cool again.

Not that they weren’t before, but with social media, comedians are able to boost their underground, cult-celebrity status. This viral showcase for aspiring performers can generate some rather pitiful cases; however, it can also unveil some hidden gems. In a way, technology is taking us back to the frontier days of rogue performing, when artists performed for the love of their art.

Santa Rosa native Dominic Del Bene, now working at San Francisco’s Rooftop Comedy where he has produced over 40 standup albums and more than a dozen festivals and shows across the country, will be presenting his monthly comedy series, “Set ’Em Up and Knock ’Em Down,” Aug. 4 at the Druid Hall in Santa Rosa. The show will feature L.A. comedians, Dave Ross, host of the TERRIFIED podcast on the Nerdist Network, and Barbara Gray who has appeared on Ellen, SF Sketchfest and Deadspin. Matt Lieb, winner of the 2013 Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Competition, will also be performing.

If that isn’t enough, Petaluma’s HenHouse Brewing Co. and Benziger Family Wineries will be providing libations; all bar proceeds will benefit the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition.

Tickets are $20 with discounts available to members of SCBC and Benziger’s newsletter.

Show will be at the Druid Hall, 1011 College Ave., Santa Rosa. 707.542.0908. For more info, visit setemupknockemdown.tumblr.com.

Astrology

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of July 30

ARIES (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19) If a farmer plants the same crop in the same ďŹ eld year after year, the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutrients get exhausted. For instance, lettuce sucks up a lot of nitrogen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to plant beans or peas in that location the next season, since they add nitrogen back into the soil. Meanwhile, lettuce will do well in the ďŹ eld where the beans or peas grew last time. This strategy is called crop rotation. I nominate it as your operative metaphor for the next 10 months, Aries. Your creative output will be abundant if you keep sowing each new â&#x20AC;&#x153;cropâ&#x20AC;? in a fertile situation where it is most likely to thrive.

TAURUS (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20)

Maybe your grandparents are dead, or maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still alive.

Whatever the case may be, do you have a meaningful or interesting connection with them? Is there anything about their souls or destinies that inspires you as you face your own challenges? Or is your link with them based more on sentimentality and nostalgia? In the near future, I urge you to dig deeper in search of the power they might have to offer you. Proceed on the hypothesis that you have not yet deciphered some of the useful messages you can derive from how they lived their lives. Explore the possibility that their mysteries are relevant to yours.

GEMINI (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20) The proliďŹ c American author James Fenimore Cooper (1789â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1851) wrote 32 novels. In those pages, he crammed in almost 1,100 quotations from Shakespeare. What motivated such extreme homage? I suspect he regarded Shakespeare as a mentor, and wanted to blend the Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intelligence with his own. I invite you to do something similar, Gemini. What heroes have moved you the most? What teachers have stirred you the deepest? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect time to pay tribute in a way that feels selfempowering. I suspect you will beneďŹ t from revivifying their inďŹ&#x201A;uence on you.

CANCER (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22)

Was there an actual poet named Homer who wrote the ancient Greek epics the Iliad and the Odyssey? Or was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homerâ&#x20AC;? a ďŹ ctitious name given to several authors who created those two master works? Whatever the case may be, we know that Homer plagiarized himself. The opening line of Book XI in the Iliad is identical to the opening line of Book V in the Odyssey: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Dawn arose from her couch beside the lordly Tithonos, to bear light to the immortals and to mortal men.â&#x20AC;? So should we be critical of Homer? Nah. Nor will I hold it against you if, in the coming days, you imitate some ďŹ ne action or brilliant move you did in the past. It was great the ďŹ rst time.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it will be nearly as great this time, but in a different way.

LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;August 22) The Earth has been around for almost 4.6 billion years. But according to scientists who study the fossil records, ďŹ re didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make its ďŹ rst appearance on our planet until 470 million years ago.

Only then were there enough land-based plants and oxygen to allow the possibility of ďŹ res arising naturally.

Do the math and you will see that for 90 percent of Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, ďŹ re was absent. In evolutionary terms, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a newcomer. As I study your astrological omens for the next 10 months, I foresee the arrival of an almost equally monumental addition to your life, Leo. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine what it is yet, but by this time next year, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fathom how you could have lived without it for so long.

VIRGO (August 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;September 22) In the nights to come, I expect you will dream of creatures like ďŹ ery monsters, robot warriors, extraterrestrial ghosts and zombie vampires. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the weird twist: They will be your helpers and friends. They will protect you and ďŹ ght on your behalf as you defeat your real enemies, who are smiling pretenders wearing white hats. Dreams like this will prepare you well for events in your waking life, where you will get the chance to gain an advantage over fake nice guys who have hurt you or thwarted you.

LIBRA (September 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;October 22) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne if you want to turn the volume all the way up on your charisma and socialize like a party animal. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protest if you gleefully blend business and pleasure

as you nurture your web of human connections. But I hope you will also ďŹ nd time to commune with the earth and sky and rivers and winds. Why? You are scheduled to take a big, fun spiritual test in the nottoo-distant future. An excellent way to prepare for this rite of passage will be to deepen your relationship with Mother Nature.

SCORPIO (October 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;November 21) You are hereby excused from doing household chores and busywork, Scorpio. Feel free to cancel boring appointments. Avoid tasks that are not sufďŹ ciently epic, majestic and fantastic to engage your heroic imagination. As I see it, this is your time to think really big. You have cosmic authorization to give your full intensity to exploring the amazing maze where the treasure is hidden. I urge you to pay attention to your dreams for clues. I encourage you to ignore all fears except the one that evokes your most brilliant courage.

Abandon all trivial worries, you curious warrior, as you go in quest of your equivalent of the Holy Grail.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 21) Broadway is one of New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main streets. It runs the length of the island of Manhattan. But hundreds of years ago it was known by the indigenous Lenape people as the Wickquasgeck Trail. It was a passageway that cut through stands of chestnut, poplar and pine trees. Strawberries grew wild in ďŹ elds along the route. Is there a metaphorical equivalent in your own life, Sagittarius? I think there is: a modest, natural path that you will ultimately build into a major thoroughfare buzzing with activity. Part of you will feel sad at the loss of innocence that results. But mostly youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be proud of the visionary strength you will have summoned to create such an important conduit.

CAPRICORN (December 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;January 19) The heavenly body known as 1986 DA is a near-Earth asteroid thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.4 miles in diameter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s packed with 10,000 tons of gold and 100,000 tons of platinum, meaning itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth over $5 trillion. Can we humans get to it and mine its riches? Not yet. That project is beyond our current technology. But one day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure we will ďŹ nd a way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smaller-scale version of this scenario in your life, Capricorn. You know about or will soon ďŹ nd out about a source of wealth thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond your grasp. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting that in the next 10 months you will ďŹ gure out a way to tap into it, and begin the process.

AQUARIUS (January 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;February 18)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just sort of drifted into it.â&#x20AC;? According to author Gore Vidal, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost always the explanation for everything.â&#x20AC;?

But I hope this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be true for you anytime soon, Aquarius. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to be unconscious or lazy or careless about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting yourself into. You must formulate a clear, strong intention, and stick to it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that you should be overly cautious or ultra-skeptical. To make the correct decisions, all you have to do is be wide awake and stay in intimate touch with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for you.

PISCES (February 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20)

Members of the industrial band Skinny Puppy are upset with the U.S. military. They discovered that an interrogation team at Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guantanamo Bay detention camp tortured prisoners by playing their music at deafening volumes for extended periods. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they sent an invoice to the Defense Department for $666,000, and are threatening to sue. Now would be a good time for you to take comparable action, Pisces. Are others distorting your creations or misrepresenting your meaning? Could your reputation beneďŹ t from repair? Is there anything you can do to correct peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misunderstandings about who you are and what you stand for?
