Post #15 Foghorn Leghorn!
Friday, October 21, 2011 at 06:31PM Usually when I look in the mirror I see one of Michelangelo's idealized male nudes, or JK Rowling's Voldemorte, but more recently I've been seeing unmistakable traces of the mischievous bombastic Looney Tunes Rooster, Foghorn Leghorn. So here I am on my most recent jug. On the other side I present Garth Clark as he appears on the cover of his book Shards. There are still a lot of things that I can't quite reconcile in Garth's argument, so I let my slim shady (Foghorn) cut up a bit.
"Country Funk" is a play on the California Ceramic "movement" known as "Funk" or "Funk Art" headed up by Robert Arneson at UC Davis. It is also the name of a hilarious song by Southern Culture on the Skids about a country boy whose sexual initiation is conducted by a rather coarse woman whose number he finds on a bathroom wall. The whole pot, while it asks some blunt questions, is meant to be taken for what it is: A joke.
Enjoy!
Thanks everybody,
Matt Jones
