Maybe you know Storm Large from her performances with Storm Large and the Balls, or from her TV reality-show participation in Rock Star: Supernova, or maybe not at all. When I first came upon her a few years back, I was immediately hooked by her sort of meld of Bette Midler and Janis Joplin and Mae West and who knows what. She has been described as a six-foot-tall, sailor-mouthed Glamazon. I would say that she has to be one of Portland's cultural (albeit at least R-rated) treasures. A powerful voice, a big brain, a wonderful sense of humor and a warm heart. Storm does a great cover of the Sex Pistols' Anarchy in the UK, by the way.

Here is her Ellen Degeneres interview:
