Neil Young & the Promiseof the Real "The MonsantoYears" (Reprise)

Neil Young follows his muse, or inthis case, his rage.'The MonsantoYears" is an album-length rantrecorded with Willie Nelson's sonsLukas and Micah in which theFarm Aid co-founder targets hisvenom mostly at agricultural giantMonsanto in songs that often soundlike he wrote them on the spot.That's not necessarily a terriblething: Though Young's anger aboutindustrial farming's use of genetically modified organisms is oftenawkwardly expressed, the projectteems with the off-the-cufl; ragged,loose-limbed energy that has oftenmade this most instinctive of classicrockers'projects great. In the end,though, there's simply too muchone-sided, subtie-as-a-flying-malletfulmination to compel repeatedlistening. Put this one in the samecategory as previous ecologicallyfocused projects like"Greendale"i20031 and"Fork in the Road"i20091, which even ardent Youngfans are not wont to revisit. Butthat doesn't mean that when hetours behind it his passionate driveto put the songs across won't resultin another great Neil Young show.

Want to hear live music inNortheast Oregon? Here's alist of where to catch yourfavorite musical act. )EFF PETERSEN

GoNortheastoregon.com

LA GRANDE — Playing musicin unusual places is not on AndySteele and Brent Smith's bucketlist. Not yet, anyway.

But the local musicians havebeen recruited to perform for thefirst Concert on the Water from7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturdayat Morgan Lake, located in themountains three miles southwestof La Grande. Sponsored by theLa Grande Parks and RecreationCommission, the concert is free,but there will be a tip jar for theband.

People are invited to bring theirnon-motorized boats or otherfloating devices and enjoy anevening of music. Boats more than10 feet long need invasive speciespermits, which can be purchasedat Bi-Mart or Walmart for $5.

"It's a new idea, and we don'tknow how it will go," said MegHawks, a commission member forthe last 1-V2 years."In theoryitcould be awesome, and we hope tomake it an annual event."

When Hawks was in college atBYU-Idaho, she was involved inplanning and implementing outdoor events similar to this one.

"The university had a lot of creative outlets for the students, andI've missed being involved in that,"Hawks said."I love canoeing atMorgan Lake, and I love good music. I talked it over with the othercommission members and wemade it a go. I want to do things tobenefit the community and drawattention to our outdoor amenities. Being on the commission hasgiven me that opportunity."

Brent Smith, left, and Andy Steele, right, will perform for the firstConcert on theWater Saturday at Morgan Lake, located threemiles southwest of La Grande.

Smith, for one, is excited aboutthe prospect.

"I've been at Morgan Lake whenthe sun goes down and it's totallybeautiful," said Smith, who willplay guitar and sing on a drift boatanchored in the lake while Steelehandles the drums."I'm excitedabout trying this. As a musiclistener, I can imagine enjoying being on a boat in the water feelingthe breeze enjoying the music."

The musician and lawyer saidthey will perform acoustic folk music, covers and original songs.

''We'll do a couple of Woody

Guthrie tunes, like 'Roll on, Columbia, Roll on' and'Oregon Trail,'Smith said, "songs from a famouscollection he did while employedby the Bonneville Power Adminis

when the BPA hired him in 1941to record songs about the Columbia River hydroelectric system.

Smith and Steele will alsoperform some of Smith's originals,such as "Grande Ronde," which isnamed after the river.

Smith said he plays in a lot ofprojects, including Brent Smith &Friends, which is on track to playsix to eight times this year.

Steele, meanwhile, is a recreation specialist for the La GrandeRanger District when he is notdrumming in jazz gigs withkeyboard master Matt Cooper, arock band called the Catskills orplaying in Smith's projects.

Maher said when"Inland Folk"started, he would go to Spokane,Washington, and record three orfour shows at a time. Back thenthere were three guys who sharedthe duties hosting the radio show.

"A couple years into it the guyswere tired of it and junked it. Itold NWPR, 'I'll take over thewhole thing."'

His folk music appetite was whetted, he said, as a child of the'60s,when he was a big fan ofAM radio.

the Kingston Trio and WoodieGuthrie," Maher said.

Through the commercial exposure his interest led him to explorethe alternative forms of folk.

He said he sings folk songsbecause, "It's really important

that people not~ust hear alternative forms of folk, but that I tryand make a conscious effort toentertain as well as make a bunchof music."

Maher said he came to WallowaCounty this spring to emcee theHootenanny, a fundraiser for Wallowa Valley Music Alliance, andstayed to hearaWeather Machine"a Portland-based band at the OK.After that show he said he wantedto sing at the theater.

A long-time fiiend of the OKsowner Darrell Brann, Maher saidhe told Brann,"I have to play thisroom. Do you have a free day?n

Maher's been blind sinceinfancy, and Brann said he has anincredible ear. Maher said he grewup singing and harmonized withhis twin sister as a kid. She didn'thave his zeal for the stage, but hewent on to make a name for himself singing and playing folk songsaround the region.

He said he's not a songwriter;his talent is bringing old classicsto new audiences.

"It's just as hard to interpretsongs and do them justice. It'simportant to share these songs,"Maher said.

Interwoven with old songs fromAppalachia and the Midwest arestories. He said his show at theOK is a mix of storytelling, folksongs from America's roots and asing-a-long.

"It will be a family event wherepeople can sing more songs in anawesome room," Maher said. "Ilove the sharing part and I likethe idea of people sitting in a roomsinging together."

Maher said it's important toperform old American folk songsso they survive, both the songsand the instrumentals.

"I'm a little worried we are losing sight of those instrumentalsout there like "Soldier's Joy." Thesethings have lasted 300 years andthey are good tunes."

Dan Maher brings folksongs old and new to theOKTheatre Thursday.

About the 'Inland Folkwith Dan Maher'

BAKER CITY — Steve Folkestad loves riding his motorcycle onthe backroads of Baker County.

"There's more stunning geography within a day's ride of Bakerthan anywhere else," he says.

He discovered it 16 years agoand still gets goosebumps when heremembers his first glimpse of theWallowa Mountains.

"It's like 'wow — I can't believe

this,"' he said. "I remember the exact moment I turned that corner."

Ten years ago Folkestad, wholives in Portland, invited other riders to join him.

The Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally has grown each year,and this year he expects manythousands to again join the funThursday through Monday inBaker City.

"They come and discover all ofthis. They get the magic," he said.

He said at least 60 percent willbe return riders.

"There's so much you can't takeit all in in one year," he said.

This year's theme is "Ride Likea Devil," paying homage to theSeven Devils Mountains in Idaho.

The rally T-shirt features thenames of each mountain — HeDevil, She Devil, The Goblin,The Ogre, The Twin Imps, DevilsThrone and Tower of Babel.

A new route this year is"TheOgre," which takes riders to Oxbowand then to Cambridge, Idaho.

"In the shadow of the SevenDevils," Folkestad said.

There are officially seven rides:The Ogre, Devil's Tail, LuckyHighway 7, Route 666, The LittleDragon, Tamarack Trail and RoadRash Pass.The HCMR booth on Main Street

An estimated 4,000 riders — 1,500 of those registered — will be in Baker City and the surroundingarea this weekend for the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally.

4,000 riders come for the event.The action is centered in down

town Baker City, where MainStreet will be closed from Washington Avenue to Valley Avenuestarting at noon Thursday. It willreopen Sunday afternoon.

Folkestad said most participantswill arrive Thursday and take oneof the shorter scenic rides.

He said the poker run is usually done on Friday or Saturday.This 151-mile course goes fromBaker City to Medical Springs andthen Catherine Creek summit toUnion, then back through PylesCanyon and North Powder, andup the Elkhorn Scenic Byway pastAnthony Lakes, Granite, Sumpterand back to Baker City.Riders are encouraged to ride in

groups of six to eight.Folkestad said everyone should

"ride your own ride."''We want safety to be foremost,"

he said."The ultimate goal of therally is to pull into your garageafter four fun-filled days."

Although the riders head out formost of the day to explore Eastern

Oregon, evenings find thousands ofshiny bikes parked on Main Street.

The motorcycle show, sponsoredby High Desert Harley-Davidson,is at 7 p.m. Saturday."Lots of vendors, lots of things to

look at," Folkestad said.Also, the rally will sell com

memorative pins to raise moneyfor a new police dog for the BakerCity Police Department.

In 2007, the Rally raised $30,000to help fund the first dog, Turbo,who is retiring after the rally.

Folkestad said their goal is toraise $10,000. The pins will besold by donation, and money canalso be contributed online throughwww.gofundme.com/wu2aeqe6.

tdiscovered the Raine StocktonDog Mysteries by Donna Ball

three years ago. Set in the smalltown of Hansonville, North Carolina, this series of"cozy mysteries"features Raine Stockton, a dogtrainer and search and rescue volunteer, and her Golden Retriever,Cisco.

Raine is very experienced andserious about what she does fora living, which is complementedamusingly by Cisco's lack thereof. Ireally enjoy reading about a working dog in training as opposed toones with robotic behavior I'veread in the past.

Cisco's character is reminiscentof Chet from the well-known Chetand Bernie Mysteries, who is verymuch a professional but also verymuch a dog. Come to think of it, astory from Cisco's point of viewin Chet and Bernie style — wouldbe pretty entertaining.

Just as much as Cisco is a dog,Raine is human. These stories aretold from her point of view, making it easier to understand her attimes irascible behavior.

She's a judge's daughter and asheriA"s ex-wife. She finds herself

I love small town mysteries,thrillers and suspense and thisseries has been my absolutefavorite so far. I read the firstbook, "Smoky Mountain Tracks,"in two days and that seems to bea pattern with me when readingthis series.

The first story involves therescue of a kidnapped child whohas been taken into the SmokyMountains, terrain that Raineknows better than anyone. Whenthe body of the kidnapper isdiscovered, that's when it getsinteresting. I hope you enjoy thispage-turner as much as I did.

Trevor Dunn and his son, Mike,of Baker City knew that only truefans of the legendary rock band"Kiss" fans would catch the meaning of those words.

The band's classic lineup (therehave been several member changes since Kiss formed in 1973) isthis foursome:

Joe Otero of Twin Falls, Idaho,also joined, and Phantom Kiss wasborn — a tribute band dedicated tosinging and performing Kiss'music.

Although the quartet has touredin four states, they've never playedin Baker City.

Phantom Kiss came togethertwo years ago, after the connectionthrough Craigslist.

All four members are huge fansof Kiss.

"I've seen them over 50 timesand met them all," Dunn said.

He and Hall went to see PaulStanley at a book signing inPortland and told him about thetribute band. A month later, theywent to a Kiss concert in SaltLake City, where Dunn had backstage passes.

When Dunn told Kiss membersabout Phantom Kiss, he said GeneSimmons (whom he portrays)squeezed his cheeks and said"ofcourse he is — he's so good looking."

'To have your hero do that wasreally cool," Dunn said.

Phantom Kiss wears ofIIcialKiss costumes, dons the bandmembers' famous face paintdesigns and even performs in thesignature 7-inch platform boots.

'That took awhile to get usedto," Dunn said.'We learned reallyquick how difIIcult it is to walk inplatform boots."

They also perform on instrum ents that are exact replicas ofthose Kiss uses.

Aside from the performanceaspect, Dunn said the music is thebase — Kiss has been performing for 41 years and last year wasinducted into the Rock & Roll Hallof Fame."If they didn't have goodtunes, they'd be a bunch of guys inmakeup," he said.
