Defying Extinction and Celebrating the StrangeThe Tackle Box[26 February 2007] by Chris JusticeSome might say the elusive coelacanth, in spite of its primordial ugliness, has attained rock star status in the popular imagination.
The Tackle Box
The Poetry of Fishing: James A. EmanuelChris Justice27.Aug.08 Fishing and writing are typically solitary crafts that offer fishermen and poets sweet opportunities for introspection. 
Myth-Making DolphinsChris Justice10.Jul.08 They're transporters of the souls of the dead, per Dante, transporters of tools and messages, per the US military, and friends to man, per the popular dolphinariums. 
The Real CreelChris Justice30.Apr.08 Creels contain volumes of wonderfully imaginative “catches” that, unlike the box’s contents in the myth, unleash a swarm of positive stories and memories that continue life’s flow.

MORE COLUMNS 
Greatly enjoyed your well written article on the Coelacanth, particularly the ‘rock star’ analogy! I have long been fascinated by this amazing creature.
In fact I have used that particular quote for my website for my musical project called: ‘CoelacanthDance’ @: http://www.dalek.ca/CoelacanthDance, with a credit/link to your article of course.
Cheers,
