JOHN HENRY'S
Continued from Page 5
on a dumpster-saved sofa stolen straight front the
70s. ripped right off the set of Threr 's Company.
It's a shrine to sparseness Co-owner Bruce Hart
nell's design motivation here seems to mirror the
idea behind those propless, one-ai t stages in the
theater department, which, through lack of set,
drive emphasis on the performers John Henry's
is lugger and better than both Taylor's (severely
small) and Good Times (severely blues).
Music makes the place. It's diverse and experi
mental. offering this city 's most varied bar-band
calendar The Kurtz Project's performance was an,
obnoxiously glorious presentation of kamikaze
musical theater It is an increasingly popular Port
lond-hased band mixing classical violin with a 70s
cover play list The high stage was harshly fitting,
built to suit the hand's rock n' roll, KISS-like
gymnastics Stage antics like this are unacceptable
in any other Oregon band (especially the now
ultra hip. iilira-pretentious bar-band princes. The
Daddies ) Stage jumping and floor humping bet
ter compliment a cover of Journey’s
"Hoggin .Tom bin'. Squeezin' than a cover of
some long-dead-hut-revived blues tune or any
thing by The Daddies, whatever it is they do.
The Kurtz Project call themselves "David
Howie esque-cin a-Glass-Spider-Tour," But that's
an oversimplified understatement and needlessly
trivializes and ties their talent to an overrated.
over-the-hill cross-dresser. The Kurt* Project are
really quite neat Light a candle for their return
Meanwhile, drink And for this purpose. I offer
John Henry's. I propose this place because it has
its harfnet firmly planted in unpretentious earth,
ft's where to track ground movement. It's whom to
go instead of, say. snooty Steelhead's. where they
don't even sell pitchers.
At John Henry's, people drink beer, at Steel
head's. people just sip. At John Henry’s, you will
hear the comforting clatter of a shattered beer bot
tle or three, at Steelhead's. you'll be annoyed by
the tinny, effeminate tinkling of little, sippablo,
beer glasses. People yell at John Henry's. At Steel
head’s. customers indulge in that frighteningly
sphincter-locking yuppie activity known as "( hat
ting " (In a recent pee-break at Steelhead's. I offi
cially christened the place as the Bar King for
Eugene's irritating 3M'ers: the married, the main
stream and the moneyed. The Ruhenstein's. The
Romania’s and Jerry Green have been seen at
Steelhead's, thus earning it the second title of
Eugene's Biggest Weenie Bar.)
A final note: as far as I know, there is no real Mr.
or Ms. Steelhead; no Mr. or Ms. Sixth Street Grill:
no Mr. or Ms. Confetti's Lounge at the Shilo Inn:
and no real Coconut Joe. There is. however, a real
live. flesh-and-biood- and-Budweiser John Henry,
who sets up your suds, changes your ashtray and
can. for a fair tip. pass your phone number to the
bldnd violinist on stage who'd look even more
incredibly hot and cool in n big red hat
