>Artis the Spoonman is a Seattle local street artist. He's the one on Pearl
Jam's "Spoonman," although I haven't heard that track. Since Soundgarden is
a Seattle band, I would assume that "Superunknown" is also Artis. I doubt
that the NY spoonman is the same, unless Artis has visited there in his
new-found "fame." Artis has a solo CD out with backing support from another
local Seattle band (who are actually very good) - Sadhappy. In addition to
street performances, Artis has also played Bumberdrum at Bumbershoot, and
I'm sure a lot of the other concerts like Lallapaloosa (I suppose).

The spoonman that soundgarden and pearl jam referred to did a US tour last
year as a supporting act for MC 900 FT JESUS and Consolidated. Maybe the
Underworlders caught that show and were intrigued by the utensil madness.
