Kevin and Joe

By Laura Kelly

My one wild and precious life

I

didn’t recognize the incoming phone number when I took the call last week. It was a friend from college days. He and I have kept in touch over the years, but he lives in Florida, he’s not a big Facebook guy, and it’s been three years or so since we’ve seen one another or conversed.

He called to tell me that Kevin, a mutual friend from our time together in college, was found dead in his apartment. Tall, lethally irreverent and good-hearted, Kevin had a head of hair that adhered to its own aerodynamic principles and synapses that ricocheted at speeds I’ll never approximate. He was a welcome satellite in a tribe of journalists and photographers who worked at the campus newspaper. Instead of majoring in journalism as the rest of us were, Kevin chose pharmacology. He said he wanted to be nearer to the drugs that had the capacity to mute or flash fry his zigzagging mind.

I sat in my vacuum-sealed car on the side of the highway. Cars whizzed by and made the world blurry as my friend and I traded stories of those gonzo, swashbuckling days. When we hung up and the laughter stopped reverbing, I felt the faucets to all my feelings shut. Or maybe the faucets opened wider and everything I felt flooded my insides.

Fork renewal

By Kelly Poe Wilson

W

hen my daughter, Clementine, moved out last month to go to college, she moved all the way out. Took down the posters (mostly), boxed up the winter clothes (she moved to Atlanta), and even packed up every single bottle of nail polish. This wasn’t entirely her idea, of course: if she had had her way we would have shrouded the entire room in sheets like some kind of gothic mansion, leaving it to eerily await her holiday visits.

Unfortunately for her, however, we don’t live in a gothic mansion, or any kind of mansion at all; we live in a crappy little downtown house where space is at a premium. And so no sooner did she move out of her room than her little brother, Clyde, moved in. (Her room was bigger, of course.)

This necessitated the emptying out of both rooms which, as tedious as that was, ended up being a good thing, and not just because it distracted me from the fact that my oldest child was “leaving the nest,” either. No, the reason this turned out to be such a good thing was because once we had emptied out both rooms we found the forks.

All of them. Every single one. (No, really, I mean all of them. Go check your silverware drawer; I’m sure we have some of yours as well.)

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand I’m thrilled, because, you know, forks. I can cut up my chicken without having

The prongs long gone to use two knives like I’m at some sort of a medieval banquet. And I can eat salad again at all. But on the other hand I’m worried. What if it’s too much all at once? Everyone knows those stories of the lottery winners whose lives were ruined when they won the lottery: they either end up dying trapped in their PBRstocked wine cellars or buried beneath piles of their own money. Yes, I know that there are also lottery winners—lots of them—who go on to lead very happy and productive lives. For

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand I’m thrilled, because, you know, forks. … But on the other hand I’m worried.

the sake of my argument—and to keep my bitter, bitter resentment at bay—we are going to pretend those people don’t exist.

Anyway, what if my sudden fork wealth turns into the same thing? What if my newfound fork wealth makes me forget where I came from? It would have been different if we found, say, three forks. Three forks would have been easy—one for each of us in the house.

But with forks-a-plenty, I fear we’ll soon get too cocky.

It’ll start out small, of course. Someone will want to take their breakfast to go. And then someone else will want to serve their birthday cake in the back yard. And finally someone will want to go on a picnic in the park down the street. Before you know it we’ll be forkless again, and this time it will be worse, because whereas before I always knew that if I really needed a fork I could always go look under Clementine’s bed (and pull it from the cold, dead grasp of the under-the-bed-monster that could survive anything but a teenager’s room), now I’ll know that they are really gone.

Gone as in, “I told my class I would bring the silverware for our upcoming San Juan River trip. What? I had to contribute something.”

Or maybe, after years of complaining about never being able to find a fork, I’ll suffer some sort of horrifyingly ironic fork-based death. Like I’ll trip over a pile of forks while carrying an armful of forks to the dishwasher and impale myself on 1,000 tines. (It’ll be one of those bizarre O. Henry/Final Destination mash-up kind of deaths.)

Yeah. That’s totally what’s going to happen.

All I ask is that at my wake everyone is in charge of bringing their own forks.

t some point along the line we’ve all likely subconsciously heard a tune by Brooklynbased rocktronica duo Ratatat. Be it the uber popular “Loud Pipes,” “Wildcat” or the even more recent “Cream on Chrome,” their tracks are infectious and, in fact, they have plenty of great tunes to go around. Consisting of lead guitarist Mike Stroud and producer Evan Mast, Ratatat first burst onto the scene way back in 2004 with their self-titled debut, which saw the two buddies twisting up piercing sheets of guitar and synthesizer yoked with bass-heavy metronimics. In the years that followed they hit listeners with three more albums, 2006’s Classics, LP3 in 2008, and LP4 two years later, each craftily navigating the vast landscapes of hip-hop and old-fashioned rock. Up to that point they were on the once-standard track of releasing an album every two years, but in the years to follow the duo hit a bit of a rough patch which led to a five year hiatus. Without pause, fans stayed hungry, and to reward their patience, Ratatat mixed it back up and dropped their fifth album—bucking convention, and not named LP5—in July, Magnifique, a promised return to their core guitar-driven sound.

They’re also touring once again, and making what will likely be a worthy stop in Flagtown at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen, with opener Hot Sugar. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the music gets going at 9 p.m. Tickets are $27 in advance and $31 the day of the show. For more info, call 556-1580 or visit www.ratatatmusic.com.

Along with all the great what-to-dos during First Friday ArtWalk, we have Flagstaff photographer extraordinaire Dawn Kish sharing her exhibit i66, a collection of Route 66 photos that she took with her iPhone. It’s such a wild thing to see the iconic Mother Road realm photographed and captured on a modern piece of technology like an iPhone. And these aren’t your mom and dad’s selfies from their last road trip to Winslow. Kish has a keen, thoughtful eye in how she times and frames each of her photos. She brings the pro and shows that the best piece of equipment photographers can take to a shoot is located between their ears. Kish is no stranger to 66 either, as she has road-tripped all up and down that thoroughfare and even served as a model for John Running during a Route 66 shoot he did around 2000. And in Arizona proper, there are tons of iconic 66 stops and locations to choose from for setting the scene: including such places as the Jack Rabbit, Meteor City, the remnants of Twin Arrows Trading Post, places such as the Museum Club and other landmarks in Flagstaff and just about every darn thing going on in Seligman. The exhibit is free at Criollo Latin Kitchen, 16 N. San Francisco, during the October First Friday ArtWalk and runs through the end of the month. The reception is 5–7 p.m. 774-0541. www.dawnkishphotography.com.

SATURDAY | 10.3‌ THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING FRANK‌

For those hardcore fans of Frank Zappa, it’s difficult to pass up a chance to catch his eldest son Dweezil when he does a Zappa Plays Zappa show. Although, yes, technically, Zappa Plays Zappa is a tribute band to the late and great

HotPicks Frank (he was born 75 years ago this year), it really gives it that added gold star for having his descendent front the band and give the music that added loving care. And there aren’t many tribute bands that can celebrate winning a Grammy Award, which this one did in 2009 for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. As a tribute band, ZPZ has much to dig into and explore both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Consider that Frank Zappa recorded more than 60 albums with his band, the aptly named Mothers of Invention, and as a solo artist. His music is all over the creative map and often difficult to categorize. Experimental rock may be one banner to fly it under, but even that is limiting when one considers how much Frank reached out to all genres and even has a hand at taking on different kinds of sound collages. As for ZPZ, they have been known to bring some interesting components to the stage, such as playing along with audio clips of Frank himself or even projecting video of him while performing the song. Along with the show, Dweezil will host a guitar Master Class at Arizona Music Pro,122 E. Rte. Dweezil Zappa. Courtesy photo 66, at 3 p.m. before the show (tickets are $75 for that).

MONDAY | 10.5‌ IN THE FAR TOO DISTANT FUTURE‌

Do you ever think about what the future has in store? Not just your future, but that of the planet? Are you curious about what it might look like in, say, 100,000 years? Will it be a place we recognize? Or will it slowly slide into being some other kind of planet entirely? If these questions intrigue you, you should head out to see author and scientist Curt Stager, who will be at NAU to talk about—among many other cool ideas—what the long-term future holds for the home planet. He wrote the book Deep Future: The Next 100,000 Years of Life on Earth (which he somehow managed to cover in about 300 pages) and has much to say about the whole climate change issue. He also has a nifty book called Your Atomic Self, so you can understand you at a molecular level.

Along with the books, Stager has published more than three dozen articles in major journals including Science and National Geographic, New York Times and Fast Company. Since 1990, he has also co-hosted Natural Selections, a weekly public radio science program that is syndicated internationally. In 2013, he was named the New York State Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation. Check him out at NAU Prochnow Auditorium, a treat from the School of Forestry. The talk is from 7–8:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Stager will sign books and chit-chat afterward. www.curtstager.com.

Lather, rinse, repeat

By Andrew Wisniewski

B

ack in June 2012 myself and 9,449 adoring fans converged on Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado to catch Wilco perform on what turned out to be a perfect early summer evening of great music.

Seated at eye level with the top of the stage and Denver’s skyline glowing as the sun fell, Jeff Tweedy and company walked out for what to this day remains my favorite live show. Wilco played a solid 30 songs which included not one, but two, encores. At the end of the first set the place erupted until the band returned for their first encore, and after said encore, the crowd grew even louder, demanding more music. The band returned, and following the second, Tweedy paused and said, “OK. We’re [expletive] done.” He then dropped the mic and the band exited stage left. The place shook.

This past Sunday, 15 of Flagstaff’s finest descended south into the sweaty desert heat under a rare Blood Moon to see English indie rock band, Glass Animals, perform a sold out outdoor show at the Crescent Ballroom in downtown Phoenix. The music was pure magic; one of the top shows I’ve seen so far this year.

But one of the odd things that stuck out to me was the encore. As the band acknowledged the crowd after their set and walked off stage, everyone fell somewhat silent. It wasn’t until after a short bit that the crowd noise started to pick up, though never reaching an emphatic roar, before the band returned to finish out the night in stellar fashion.

Over the years I’ve often pondered the “encore” and why bands still do them. Yes, they’re concert standard issue, but not always the same. Some bands and artists embrace them, while others hate it—you know who they are because when the show’s over the lights immediately come up and someone else’s music takes hold of the speakers. In the case of Wilco, the fans let them know, twice, that they weren’t done. Once, El Ten Eleven simply stated that they don’t do encores. They tacked on a few more songs at the end, and that was that. After the Modest Mouse encore this past August here at the Orpheum, it almost seemed as if they left the door open for a second encore, but the crowd didn’t respond and the lights eventually came up and the show was over. And for the Glass Animals show, it seemed as if the crowd just expected it—which seems to be the norm nowadays when it comes to encores.

In a 2013 article, Mental Floss gave a great little breakdown of the encore.

flaglive.com | Oct. 1–7, 2015

French for “again,” encores can actually be traced back to at least the 19th century when bigwig aristocrats would request that a song be played again—you know, because recorded music wasn’t a thing.

Though, they were typically only reserved for “extraordinary classical musicians who put on extraordinary performances.”

Today that’s not so much the case.

Fast forward to when encores actually carried some real weight. In the 1960s and ’70s, when the concert experience really exploded, encores were saved for momentous shows or performances. The Who followed that formula, only returning for an encore if a show was “exceptional.”

But not everyone got involved. Take Elvis Presley for example. His manager refused to let him play encores to keep fans wanting more, hence the term “Elvis has left the building.” Others, like Elvis Costello’s manager, would blare earwrecking white noise (the worst) to assure crowds that there wouldn’t be an encore, while the Beatles strayed from them for fear of mobbing fans. But when the encore did happen, it was a true bonus.

Enter the Boss. In a 2004 column, former Washington Post columnist David Segal places the blame for encores becoming cliché squarely on Bruce Springsteen. Segal stated, “It was the Boss who transformed the rock show into an iron-man event, playing four-hour marathons, staggering back to the stage with the E Street Band time and again, their sweat and stamina part of the spectacle.” The fall of the encore came shortly after at the end of the ’70s when nearly every band had their own sign-off, sometimes playing up to five encores! This continued through the ’90s, and was so engrained that even the most anti-rockstar bands hand trouble resisting.

And now here we are in 2015, still with encores, though it seems the thrill is gone. Once honestly rare and surprising, encores have become so commonplace they are almost an obligation for musicians while fans simply expect them. But every show isn’t encore-worthy. Should encores cease to exist? I don’t think so. But bands need to mix it up some. Perhaps play the hit song in the middle of the set and not save it for the encore. After that, find a way to make the encore feel special, unscripted. Hell, earn it. Make the crowd really want you to go another round.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Encountered a Bio-Hazard Like an epic adventure fail, our best laid plans for a Bio-Adversity section that highlighted misadventures and misdirections hasn’t taken off like it should. It was further marred by the discontinuance of the National Park Service Morning Report, which typically gives news about what’s going on in Park Service land. Some of it is scary and some of it is weird. So, we’re mourning the Morning Report, which was looking to be one of our sources on the side. So, meanwhile, pardon the dust this week and possibly the next one or two while we figure out which path we’d like to head down next. Kindly, the Flag Live Staff.

What this all has really got me thinking about is trying to recapture a bit of that “I have to watch it now” feeling in other types programming. For the most part with all of the viewing options available to the average consumer, there is little need to catch a show as it airs. You can decide to pick up a show years after it’s been cancelled if you want, or grab that missed episode online the next day.

In general I think it’s a good thing—I like having my entertainment delivered to me how and when I want, not at some network’s discretion.

At the same time I think that some level of excitement is lost by having all our programming available on demand.

Some shows have made it worthwhile to watch on the first airing. Notably, Game of Thrones has become a tough show to miss. With its savage plot twists and avid fan base, waiting to watch an episode of Game of Thrones can quickly lead to episode wrecking spoilers. I guess it has made me crave a few more shows that I can have that level of commitment to. That being said, I certainly don’t want to go back to a world where the television has an influence on my schedule, but I wouldn’t mind another program or two that was just too good to put off watching.

week or so into fall and it feels more summery than it did during the actual summer, but there are hints of fall in the air. The leaves are starting to change. Pumpkin spice is back, and it’s in everything. Then there is the annual return of football. I am certainly more of a casual fan than a hardcore football fanatic. Still, I enjoy spending all day parked in front of the TV watching football. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to tout the NFL, or to get you to watch more sporting events, but there is definitely a draw to sitting back with the rest of America and embracing football Sunday.

Part of it is the live aspect of the event.

It’s happening right now, and if you watch it later it loses some of its impact. Anyone who has ever recorded a sporting event knows the challenges that come with trying to avoid seeing the score, and the heartbreak of having the outcome ruined for you. In some ways it reminds me of the old days before the widespread advent of DVR. Back then, if you wanted to watch a show you had to be in front of your TV at the right time every week to watch the new episode of your show. You essentially had to watch it as it happened or you missed it.

Only one player takes the field R Entertainment lands the Pepsi Amp bid, again

‌A

nother half decade. ‌What had a rocky beginning has turned into a long-term relationship, and struggles of the past appear to be settling down. This month, the Coconino County Board of Supervisors awarded the Valley-based R Entertainment a second five-year contract to manage the Pepsi Amphitheater, one of the area’s largest entertainment venues.

R Entertainment was the only bidder for the job, and the focus for the next five years will be on a more collaborative approach to managing the beautifully situated outdoor venue.

“I think R Entertainment is really dialing in on the marketplace locally,” said Neal Young, deputy county manager. “They’re starting to produce really great events in a fantastic facility.”

Rocky start The amphitheater, which accommodates about 3,000 people, was completed in 2006.

For the first five years, it was known as the Pine Mountain Amphitheater, and a local company, The Orpheum Presents, received the first fiveyear contract.

At its height, according to Arizona Daily Sun reports, the presence of the amphitheater brought $2 million to the Flagstaff area in income from visitors. But in the last year of management from the Orpheum Presents, the amphitheater brought $32,000 to county coffers, which management of the Orpheum Presents said was due to the economic recession.

On a promise of delivering nearly $280,000 the first season, R Entertainment was awarded a five-year contract by the Board of Supervisors beginning in the 2011 season. The name was changed to Pepsi Amphitheater after PepsiCo paid for the naming rights for a five-year period, of which the county and R Entertainment receive percentages. Not long after, Coconino County, and particularly Flagstaff, residents began to complain about a dearth of performances aimed at them. The first season brought in just under $90,000 to the county, which was above the contractual minimum of $70,000. The venue’s revenues have never met the nearly $300,000 projection.

In all, Young said that R Entertainment brought in about $302,000 the first four

seasons. The final year has yet to be tallied, but Young estimated that the final year would bring in another $40,000 to $60,000.

By their own admission, R Entertainment cited difficulty in finding a balance between local and visiting audiences when booking acts for the amphitheater. And according to an Daily Sun report, surveys of attendees to the 2013 season showed that more than half came from outside of Coconino County.

There was also an act of nature to contend with.

Act of nature Just before the 2012 season was to get underway, a removable canopy to keep people dry during the summer monsoons was destroyed in April by heavy snow. The loss of the canopy affected the subsequent 2013 and 2014 seasons, according to reports from the Daily Sun. The 2013 season had the lowest attendance recorded, with 14,900 people attending shows at the amphitheater, which was down 10,000 from the 2012 season.

R Entertainment, at the time, stated that because a guarantee to keep people dry was gone, attendance numbers would suffer. Fewer expensive acts were booked that year as a result.

A new, permanent canopy of 9,500 square feet, built by the county for more than half a million dollars, was finished before the 2015 season began. Although attendance numbers haven’t been finalized, it appears attendance was up. Among the acts booked for the 2015 season were: Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Gov’t Mule, Danzig with Pennywise, for King and Country, Newsboys, Primus and the Chocolate Factory, the Flagstaff Wine and Food Festival benefit, the Made in the Shade Beer Festival benefit, Pickin’ in the Pines and more.

R Entertainment management has stated that after losing money the first four years, the venue is likely to break even for the 2015 season, according to the Daily Sun. New contract Young said a new “request for proposals” was created after significant input from the Board of Supervisors and community stakeholders.

According to the RFP, “The County desires to contract with a professional management team that possesses the knowledge and expertise to maximize, in a positive, ethical and community oriented way, all or a portion of the Amphitheater’s operations.”

Additionally, the RFP states, “The County is interested in creative and innovative proposals that express a vision for engaging not only high quality, nationally and regionally recognized acts, but that is also inclusive of community organizations and businesses interested in utilizing the venue for their own concerts, festivals and events. Inventive models for providing accessibility to cultural and entertainment opportunities for all individuals regardless of economic standing are concepts the County would welcome in proposals.”

According to county officials, the community focus is aimed more at a sustainable, collaborative business model than bottomline numbers.

The new contract specifies a minimum payment to the county of $40,000 or $2 per ticket, whichever is greater, over the next five years, Young said. In addition, if annual attendance goes in excess of 17,500, R Entertainment will pay the county an additional $10,000.

Naming rights for the Amphitheater are up for grabs beginning in November, too.

The 2016 season lineup has not been announced. For info about Pepsi Amphitheater, visit www.pepsiamp.com. To learn more about R Entertainment, see www.r-entertainment.com.

Buckit basics Flagstaff rock band releases new album, gears up for October shows

‌F

or every band that’s made the big time, there are an uncountable number of acts who are proud to just be local. But success on national terms isn’t easy to come by, and there should be some kind of Grammy award for those acts who never gain the notoriety, but are as hardworking and professional as they come. Such is the case for Flagstaff-based rock band Buckit.

Buckit is the little band that could. The foursome is more than just a standard cover band. To prove it, they have just released a self-produced CD titled Let It Be, with original tunes in line with what they call “groove rock.”

With this release, the band, consisting of Chad Cardiff (lead guitar and vocals), John Dillon (acoustic guitar, vocals), Jim Christensen (bass guitar, vocals) and Rob Ross (drums), has shown a penchant for clean bluesy guitar lines and positive, family-friendly messages. For example, “Rearview Mirror” is a song about not living in the past, and “A Lot to Live For” looks at the bright side when the chips are down. And if there’s a Flagstaff sound, a skilled musicologist could probably define it with the way Buckit trails off the harmonies with a kind of regional, perhaps southern rock drawl.

“It’s groove rock, which is playing in the groove, playing in the pocket,” says Cardiff, who formed the band four years ago, and will be bringing the band to the stage for this year’s Oktoberfest on Saturday.

Cardiff says he learned how to play rock with the “groove” during his early years as a musician in Nashville, where he was a member of a band called the Trailer Park Troubadors, an Americana comedy band that still exists as Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadors and tours folk and country music venues around the country. It was a big learning experience for Cardiff.

“We dressed in polyester and plaid and sang about life in the trailer park,” he says. “I did it for 10 years and we put out six CDs (during his stint).” He laughs, “I just got a royalty check for that last week, which is nice.”

He returned to Flagstaff in 2010 after going to Northern Arizona University in the early 1990s, a move which had always been part of his long-term life plan.

“I fell in love with the town and the state and always planned to come back,” he says.

Around that time he formed a band called Bucket, later changing the “e” to an “i,” although, if anything, he wanted to avoid forming another comedy routine.

“I started this band with a more serious light, a style of music that everybody could relate to,” he says. “At one time I played with Whiskey Rodeo, but things got way too busy for Buckit and so I decided to pursue that fully.”

Appearances for the band began to increase when Dillon, whose day job is working for a non-profit organization dealing with the whitewater rafting industry, joined the band as a novice musician who decided to improve his skills with lessons. But what he really brought to the group was a business know-how.

“I was into music my whole life and I was following the band,” he says. “They asked me to join and I said I’d love to be in the band. They asked what I played; I said nothing, really, but I could sing a little bit. So I went straight down to Arizona Music Pro and bought my first guitar and learned to play in six months.”

Within that year Buckit opened for George Thorogood and the Destroyers at the Orpheum Theater.

Dillon says while the band has a list of around 135 cover songs it can do, “We do a lot of our own stuff, some of it we put into the album that we cut and released this month. It’s our first one together with this band. That’s a big hurdle for a startup band, a local band like that. When I started, the other guys were phenomenal musicians and no one knew. Flagstaff

is a tough town with so few venues. I agreed to handle the business side. We said, ‘Why don’t we do this and take it on?’”

The result has been tremendous. Last year the band performed 43 shows, doing every festival and trade show they could find. That also included frequent gigs at Lake Powell, where they performed at the Wahweap Marina near Page. They played all kinds of fundraisers and “corporate gigs,” playing outside of town far more than locally, but always being proud to identify themselves as a Flagstaff band.

Dillon says they usually only play in Flagstaff once a month because “scarcity is a good thing.” But with the release of the new album, they are in real demand this month, playing at Oktoberfest at Wheeler Park, the Pepsi Amphitheater for NAU Welcome Back Jacks Day on

Oct. 17, and the NAU Walkup Skydome parking lot for the NAU Homecoming Tailgate Party on Oct. 24.

What is the secret to the band’s success lately?

“We have 32 originals that we regularly perform and 130 to 135 covers, which we perform about three to four hours at a time,” Dillon says.

“Where we perform, it’s an added value experience, with a lot of people seeing us for the first time, but we have a lot of regulars. Our stuff is really kind of classic rock from the ’80s, with a lot of Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and Train. It’s fun dance stuff. We are a great dance band.

“We really take a lot of pride in what we do. We keep it clean, family-friendly,” he adds.

“Plus, we keep our commitments, even to the

point of turning down a last minute chance to open for REO Speedwagon because they were already booked. We love to market the places we play and bring people to the venue. We work hard to build their businesses. We are loyal to the people that support us and I do think that’s kind of rare.”

Catch Buckit at Flagstaff’s seventh annual Oktoberfest at Wheeler Park, Humphrey’s between Aspen and Birch, on Sat, Oct. 3. They take the stage at noon and 3:30 p.m. and are sandwiched by numerous other live music acts, beer, wine, food and fun. Tickets are $5 (cash only) at the entrance and the festival runs from 11 a.m.–8 p.m. For more info, visit www.flagstaffoktoberfest.com. To learn more about the band, see www.bukitrocks.com.

NEW EYES to

SEE The keen observations of Nahko and Medicine for the People By Kyle McDermott | Photos by Josue Rivas

A

ll great things must transition, and as the sun sets and the moon rises, new light is reflected into the boundlessness of the soul. The webbing of the visual and sound dimensions creates lucid material for artists to form sublime portraits of fragmented reality.

From left: Pato, Chase Makai, Nahko “Bear” Parayno and Justin Chittams of Nahko and Medicine for the People.

For Nahko “Bear” Parayno, born and raised in Portland, the journey into the dark alleyways of the inward maze became increasingly intricate, as a fresh breeze swept his ship from the doldrums, to the stable and grounded terrestrial shores.

“I was struggling with this time where this woman that I had been with for four years or so; we were recognizing that we were coming to a fork in the road,” Parayno says. “At the same time as that was a hard realization, I was also undergoing a surgery for my eyes. I was dealing with pretty much being blind from 10 years old.”

Parayno, who now calls Hawaii home, had the support of his community, who banded together to raise money by playing benefit concerts, enough to pay for his LASIK surgery— gifting Parayno a revived lens, an instrument for recording and singing the songs of waking-life.

“Once I got this surgery and I could see with perfect vision, it was this irony of, well, I can finally see literally and metaphorically that this woman and I need to go a different direction,” Parayno says.

“I blessed this situation without the typical jealousy and anger and recognized these feelings but let them go, and blessed you on your way, on your journey.”

While the truth of the present tense had become sharp and crisp, Parayno’s future was merely in its seed stage. The expansion into Nahko and Medicine for the People was still a distant burst. Parayno recorded his emotional and spiritual journey, gleaning the track “Budding Trees” through his lightless journey on his second record Dark as Night, released in 2013. uuu

“I’M A CONDUIT FOR SOMETHING THAT MOVES THROUGH ME AND I JUST SURRENDER TO IT.” — Nahko “Bear” Parayno

Courtesyphoto. photo.

“In the moon of the budding trees/ I was gifted new eyes to see/ All of the shifting/ shape and ways you can be/ Wake the dreams into realities/ Wake the dreams into realities.”

A call to action, a gravitational pull, a prevailing wind that moved the stranded ship from the stagnate seas—are mere allusion to an idea so human, so divine, that it may be the principal reason we live.

“I think in my soul, in my deep soul, I knew,” Parayno says, as if somewhere built into the human microcosm was a map, independent of any photon, or any doing.

“There’s a knowing. There still is. I know that there’s something bigger than me at work here and I’m just along for the ride.”

Parayno brings his own diverse heritage, a mix of Apache, Mohawk and Puerto Rican mother and Filipino father to his now 18 18 flaglive.com flaglive.com || Oct. 1–7, 2015

burgeoning project: Nahko and Medicine for the People. He contemplates his identity in his songwriting, exploring being adopted at a young age and raised in suburban setting by a “republican-conservative white” family.

“A lot of it is this journey for self-discovery and being OK with being you and challenging yourself to be a better person every day,” Parayno says.

Musically, Parayno’s contemplative wordage, gentle voice and soothing guitar riffs are a platform for the group’s well-balanced dynamic. With Hope Medford temporarily sidelined after recently welcoming a new baby into the world, Parayno is joined by fellow musicians Pato, Chase Makai and Justin Chittams. According to their website, the group self-describes the music as “spirited thump-hop storytelling.”

Nahko and Medicine for the People has grown into a holistic prescription for close followers, becoming an anthem for hope and peace—so much so Parayno jests there may be reason for concern.

“I still can’t believe how that record [Black as Night] is still being discovered, how it hasn’t left from some people’s CD players for like three years,” Parayno says. “I’m like, ‘Really guys, thank you so much, but you should probably break it out—it’s good to get a refresher of other people’s music, too.’”

And for those who’ve revolved through the track list more times than the Earth spins on its axis in a year—Parayno, standing tall in an L.A recording studio as he pauses to speak with Flag Live, sounds excitement through his teeth as he talks about their forthcoming album (the followup to On the Verge, released earlier this year).

“The entire record already has been written, it’s just putting it all together, he says.

“We gotta slap these songs onto plastic, man.”

While Parayno is ostensibly in a more illuminated space, he doesn’t intend for the new record to be titled Bright as Day. He’s kept his strings tied to the mysterious and eclipsed spaces, while stretching the canvas musically.

“A lot of these songs were already written in the last three years. Some of them are really old and some of them are really new,” Parayno says. “It’s still valid to me.

The old stuff is still valid to me … there’s a moral that will come out of those that I still understand … The styles will be portrayed in a new way, too. The influence of hip-hop in my life will be in there—the influence of Cuban and Jamaican music, rock 'n' roll and folk music, straight up.”

When asked about the method for his songwriting, Parayno replies, “Dude, I have no idea,” as we share laughter over his candidness.

“I’m literally at a loss for words when I try to explain how my process works,” Parayno continues. “A lot of it is melody first and/or little pieces of one-liners that I’ll get from just having experiences that are happening to me currently. It really is different every time, man.”

At the end of the day, or the beginning, Parayno claims little responsibility for his manifestations. He taps into his body, his meridians and chakras, and lets consciousness do the work. He tells the tales of paradox, sound, light and healing. Visualizing, he’s merely a vessel, vulnerable to the gentle and telling breeze.

“I’m a conduit for something that moves through me and I just surrender to it,” Parayno says. “It’s like, ‘OK cool, well here we go.’ A lot of people don’t understand how that works. A lot of people will be like, ‘How do you deal with all that?’ I’m just cruising, you know. Cruising on this thing, and that’s what’s so magical to me about this is that it’s just a [expletive] ride.”

Join Nahko and Medicine for the People on Fri, Oct. 2 with Phoenix-based opening act the Wiley One at Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen.

Doors for the all-ages show open at 7 p.m. and the music starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 the day of the show, and can be purchased in person at Aspen Deli, Campus Coffee Bean, Animas Trading Co. and Rainbow’s End, or online at www.orpheumflagstaff.com.

Grassroots democracy-building in Iowa

D

emocracy is never given to us, but has to be won through constant struggle against elites who keep scheming to siphon ever-more of society’s money and power from the many into their own hands.

A Woody Guthrie song about outlaws tells this story in one stanza: “As through this world I’ve wandered/ I’ve seen lots of funny men/ Some will rob you with a six-gun/ And some with a fountain pen.”

American democracy is the gritty history of workaday folks who get fed up with the fountain pens, get organized, and get moving to stop the thievery. Gutsy grassroots confrontation is necessary for reclaiming, maintaining, and advancing our democratic values.

To see an uplifting example of organized people-power in action, look to the heartland, where a coalition called Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement has been building democracy since 1975, uniting and empowering people of all ethnic backgrounds to push back against the avarice and arrogance of big-money corporations.

With more than 3,000 dues-paying, activist members, CCI is organized in every Iowa county. They’ve rallied thousands of other Iowans to join their local and statewide actions, including winning battles against

factory-farm manure polluters, corporate wage thieves that prey on low-wage workers, payday lenders that trap poor people in cycles of debt with 300 percent interest rates, gas and electric companies that gouge customers, and banking interests that were either foreclosing on or refusing to lend to good farmers.

Years ago, I came across a small moving company consisting only of two guys and one truck. But they had a big, can-do attitude, summed up in their advertising slogan: “If we can get it loose, we can move it.” That’s the operating model offered by CCI—get democracy loose at the grassroots level, and the people themselves will move it forward.

Bartender wisdom Lasting lessons

A

few weeks ago at the Orpheum during intermission for the Friday night reading at the Northern Arizona Book Festival, I spied a face I hadn’t seen for years. Looking over the single malt selection was my high school chess coach, Jack Burden. Seeing him there wasn’t a complete surprise in that his talented daughter, poet Chelsey Burden, was reading her latest writing on the main stage that evening. I’d hoped that Jack might be in the crowd. He’d taught in Kingman just a few hours away on I-40, but I didn’t know if he was still there. I thought I’d heard a rumor that he’d retired from teaching at Kingman High School. He could have left the state, be long gone. But rumors aside, there he was peering over the selection a few stools down from me.

It was in the late ’80s that I first met Jack (Mr. Burden) when he started up the chess club at Kingman High during the start of my junior year. We weren’t a band of kids that looked like prize-winning chess players; we’d never be confused with the next coming of Bobby Fischer.

One of our top players worked hard on a ranch, another was a lanky baseball player. There were many Metallica shirts worn, not much of an intellectual aura in the air. But, of course, appearances didn’t much matter to Mr. Burden, for Mr. Burden didn’t look like your typical high school coach.

For one, he wasn’t much older than the rest of us. I believe Kingman High was just his second teaching job at that time. He was also strong and fit. I’d seen him in the weight room after school bench-pressing more than 300 pounds—with perfect form. He was disciplined, organized, and taught literature. As he coached us, it seemed like he could do just about anything.

On the long van rides to tournaments in Tuba City or Phoenix, he’d drive the van and play chess without looking at the board. With his eyes on the road, hands on 10 and 2 on the wheel, Dave Lowe and I would sit in the bench seat behind him with a magnetic chessboard.

Dave would say, “C4.” “E5,” Mr. Burden calmly replied. And it was on. Dave, who would later be my college roommate at NAU, and even later go on to be the youngest President of a major market in PBS history (when he was 34 years old in Sacramento) would work with me on mustering our best English Opening against whatever wild King Pawn retort Mr. Burden constructed.

As the mile markers rolled by, Mr. Burden would

almost always win. But winning a game was irrelevant to him. He was teaching us. In the short term: polishing our three openings he’d drilled into us (English when playing white or Sicilian or Lasker’s Defense when playing black.) He kept our styles unconventional, like all of us, to throw off our opponent and to make sure the little bit that we did know we knew very well. We won a lot of games this way. But the long game was more what Mr. Burden seemed interested in.

The long game: he was showing us what we could do, if we put our minds to it.

This was the era of Bo Jackson and the Bo Knows ads. Bo could leap over a VW Bug. Bo could run a 4.1 40-yard dash. Bo could be an MVP in both baseball and football. Bo could sell a horde of shoes for Nike. The ads were everywhere. But, while the rest of the commercialized world had Bo Jackson, in the high desert of Kingman we had Mr. Burden, who looked like a great athlete (and was) yet emphasized the discipline and value of our minds. While we played our matches, he’d play the other team’s coaches. He’d always win and when I asked about it, he was always genuinely humble. “It was a good game,” he’d say. “I worked on using my bishops.”

Later, Dave would whisper to me, “I saw it.

Mr. Burden had him by move eight. Once he fianchettoed it was over.”

He taught us to work on our own game. Your opponent is nearly irrelevant.

Your best matches are when you work on your own weaknesses. This message was priceless for a ragtag group of teenagers.

So when I caught up with him during the intermission of those wonderful readings that evening, I have to admit I was still a bit star struck. Still thankful for his teaching. The lessons of great teachers only seem to grow, to strengthen with time, to become even more legendary. Let’s raise a toast to that, a hearty thank you. Slainte.

For more than 20 years, James Jay has worked in the bar business from dishwasher, bouncer, bartender, bar manager to pub owner. He is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry and his poems have been selected for the New Poets of the American West anthology.
