Remembering John Lennon For people of an older generation, the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas was the seminal lossof-innocence moment. For those of us a little younger than that, it was the murder of John Lennon in New York City. While most of us who lived through it still remember the feelings of existential shock that crashed over us that December in 1980, for the most part we now prefer to mark not that dark, hopeless time, but rather the day of John Lennon’s birth: Oct. 9. He would have been 70 years old this Saturday. As a fitting celebration of Lennon’s life, our own A&E Editor and resident Beatles expert Bill DeYoung is hosting a birthday party of sorts this Saturday at Muse Arts Warehouse on Louisville Road, featuring some rare video clips from Lennon’s career — and possibly some other surprises as well. While the event is free, all donations to the nonprofit venue are appreciated. Looking back over these 30 years, it seems that, as with the assassinations of the ‘60s, the murder of Lennon was not only tragic in and of itself, but symbolic of the ushering in of a new form of evil in American life.

by the numbers

Number of cars that crashed into each other on Ogeechee Road after a school bus rear–ended one of them Sept. 29

It was not without irony. In a morbid fashion not unlike his own often-morbid sense of black humor, Lennon would die in the city he loved most in the world. One could make the case that America itself — the place that welcomed Lennon most intensely and yet would also spawn both his assassin and the accompanying culture of casual violence — suffered a death of its own that day. At the risk of getting too metaphysical, it’s hard to escape the sense that 1980 coincided with a sea change in American life, a time when the things Lennon himself worked most energetically against — the elevation of corporate values over the personal, the encouragement of division along religious and cultural lines, the disparity of wealth — became ascendant. An iconic movie of the 1980s, with a sequel out right now, put that new ethos best: “Greed is good.” While the world is certainly poorer for Lennon’s untimely demise, perhaps it’s best that he didn’t live to see what we would turn into.

Lennon’s continuing popularity, both as a musician and as an all-encompassing media and political icon, is rich in irony as well. Many is the conservative who professes his or her love for Lennon and his music, without a mention of the fact that he was, politically, culturally and philosophically, as far from conservative as you could possibly get. It’s a testament to Lennon’s enduring, very human appeal, and an irony he would likely have appreciated. As always, the unanswered question remains: Why is it always the ones who seek to move society forward, to progress, who are on the receiving end of the assassin’s bullet? You are unlikely to get the answer to that question at Saturday’s event at Muse, but you will have a lot of fun. It’s what John would have wanted. Correction: We recently wrote about an appearance by the Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company at the Lucas Theatre, but left off the “Touring Company” part. We apologize for the error and any misunderstanding it might have caused. And lastly: You’ll notice a lot more color in our pages this week. We have switched printers and hope you enjoy the result! cs

Cost of living

The shortage of affordable housing in Savannah continues despite the economy by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

The term affordable housing has a certain stigma attached to it. For many it immediately evokes images of housing projects and government handouts, but it’s an issue that reaches far beyond class lines. While it may not be news to anyone who’s tried to rent an apartment here in the last couple years, Savannah has a shortage of affordable housing — and not just for low income families. “Affordable housing is not something that is just related to poor people or homeless people,” says Martin Fretty, the Director of the City’s Department of Housing. “If you’re making less than $50,000 then you’re potentially cost burdened, which meant you couldn’t afford other things like medical expenses, food and other things you need to live.” Despite a surplus of real estate inventory locally, average prices remain beyond what is affordable for many working class individuals or families. The Savannah Metropolitan Area has the third highest level of wages necessary to afford a two bedroom apartment in the state, behind only Atlanta and Gainesville, according to a 2008 report by Malik Watkins of UGA’s Vinson Institute.

Locally the fair market rate for a two bedroom apartment is about $800 per month, which means that a minimum wage earner would need to work over 100 hours per week in order to afford housing without being burdened by the cost. To be considered cost-burdened, the criteria are not set by income, but rather by whether more than 30 percent of gross income is spent on housing. Although the urban renewal that Savannah has undergone over the last decade has been a boon to property values and economic development, the industry that has seen perhaps the largest consistent growth has been the food service and hospitality, a sector which grew by more than 5,000 jobs between 2005 and the end of 2009. Those jobs, however, are also some of the lowest paying in the city, and according to the state’s Department of Labor Workforce Information and Analysis unit, the average wage is $7.28 an hour totaling a salary of just more

than $15,000 per year for a full time employee. While the median income in Savannah floats around $29,000 per year, the annual salary necessary to afford fair market rate on an apartment rental is closer to $45,000 per year. According to Watkins’ report, nearly 40 percent of the total households in the city are cost burdened by housing. It’s not an issue that has escaped

the attention of City officials. In 2007, City Council adopted an action plan to begin to address affordable housing shortages, and in the fall of 2008, the mayor’s Affordable Housing Task Force issued a report outlining solutions that included analysis of zoning regulations that might be hindering affordable development as well as the creation of a local affordable housing trust fund. “I think there’s probably been better

Michelle Mapp, the Assistant Director of the LHTF. Mapp will be in Savannah Oct. 14 to address the annual meeting of Step Up Savannah, the poverty reduction initiative, and discuss how their fund was created. “Between 1990 and 2000 we saw a 100 percent increase in housing cost in our local market,” Mapp says regarding the imperative to address affordable housing in the Charleston Metro area. “There’s a need for quality, multi– family rentals and if you build them, the demand is there. That’s where our workforce is — the teachers, the police officers and firefighters who were priced out of the market before.” While City of Savannah programs like the DreamMaker home buying assistance program have helped hundreds of families purchase homes over the last several years, and use of the program has increased 20 to 30 percent since the housing bubble burst, Fretty and others see the creation of housing trust as an essential solution to the lack of affordable housing. Unlike federal funds, which come with stipulations directing what types of projects can be funded, as well as program recipients’ income level, among other things, trust fund money could be used to help a more broad array of local families secure housing. “A housing trust fund wouldn’t necessarily have those restrictions,” Fretty explains. “It would be good to have a fund that could assist people up to 120 percent of the median income. What you’re trying to do when you’re coming into neighborhoods is not just to provide housing for very poor people. You’re trying to attract or retain people who are in the middle income group.” CS To comment email us at letters@connectsavannah.com

progress on the zoning and the sub–division regulation stuff,” says Fretty. “That’s been positive, if we ever get to a point where we can start building houses again and developing land.” The idea behind the housing trust fund is that, by creating a pool of money from local municipalities, financial institutions and other donors, additional investment can be leveraged to increase the number of affordable single– and multi–family housing units, the development of which is hindered significantly by lack of available capital to keep them affordable. “There simply is not enough HUD or other federal funding to adequately address affordable housing needs in Savannah,” said the City’s task force report two years ago. The point is not to have the city raise an impossible sum in order to build more housing. “The idea is that this would give us an additional source of money to leverage additional private investment,” Fretty explains. Over the last decade, the City’s Housing Department has improved its ability to leverage additional private investment utilizing public funds. In 2000, housing investment was 71 percent public money and 29 percent private. Last year, those numbers had practically switched, with 74 percent coming from private investment and 26 percent matched by public coffers. In Charleston, the Lowcountry Housing Trust Fund has helped create more than 750 affordable housing units since it started in 2004, leveraging $11 million in funding into more than $100 million in total project investments. “We finance both rental and homeownership deals anywhere from big developers to the guy who’s doing one house at a time, all with the goal of increasing the number of affordable housing units in our service area,” explains

Politics by Dr. Gary S. Smith

Can an atheist be elected president? This summer, Julia Gillard was elected prime minister of Australia. Gillard is Australia’s first female and first unmarried prime minister. Even more remarkably, she won Australia’s highest office after openly declaring that she is an atheist. It is extremely unlikely an avowed atheist could be elected president of the United States. Substantial percentages of Americans say they would not vote for such a candidate. In a 2007 Newsweek poll, 62 percent of respondents said they wouldn’t vote for a candidate who admitted being an atheist. This position was taken by 78 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of Democrats, and 45 percent of independents. Moreover, in a 2003 Pew Research Center poll, 52 percent of Americans expressed a “mostly unfavorable” or “very unfavorable” view of atheists. A 2006 Fox poll reported that Americans were more likely to vote for a Mormon or a Muslim for president than an atheist. If these polls are accurate, an overt atheist could not be elected president. This question, of course, is asked in the abstract. Would Americans actually refuse to vote for an atheist candidate if they liked his or her policies and personality? I suspect that in 1980, if Americans had been asked the generic question–would you vote for a divorced, former Hollywood actor for president– sizable numbers would have said no, but that year Ronald Reagan decisively defeated Jimmy Carter.

Would Americans actually refuse to vote for an atheist candidate if they liked his or her policies and personality? I suspect that in 1980, if Americans had been asked the generic question — would you vote for a divorced former Hollywood actor for president — sizable numbers would have said no, but that year Ronald Reagan decisively defeated Jimmy Carter. However, in the U.S. today, being known as an atheist is such a political liability that an individual espousing this position could not gain a major party nomination for president or probably even the Senate. Only five members of Congress refuse to indicate their religious affiliation, and none have no affiliation. While declaring oneself an atheist would be a huge political liability in this country, it did not prevent Gillard from defeating a devout Catholic–Tony Abbott–to become Australia’s prime minister in August. How was she able to win? First, a little background: Gillard, who is 48, moved with her family from Wales to Australia in 1966. She was elected to Parliament in 1998, appointed Minister for Health in 2003, and became deputy to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2007. When Rudd’s popularity waned, Gillard challenged his leadership, ousted him as party leader in June, and then prevailed in a general election in August. So, why was an overt atheist able to win in Australia, but presumably could not in the United States? Here are some

indicators: A smaller percentage of Australians (64) than Americans (about 80) identify themselves as Christians. A substantially higher percentage of Australians say they have “no religion” or declined to identify their religious affiliation (31 versus 16). More significantly, about 7.5 percent of Australians attend church each week, compared with 40 percent of Americans. In many ways, Australia is more secular than America. Moreover, while affirming that she is an atheist, Gillard frequently declared that she greatly respected the work of religious groups and is “a big supporter” of various church efforts. Rather than unanimously opposing Gillard, the religious community in Australia was divided. Some leaders professed respect for Gillard’s candor about her worldview, liked her personally, and supported her policies. Many Christians as well as the Australian Christian Lobby were more alarmed about the policies of the Green Party, especially its support of euthanasia and gay marriage, than Gillard’s atheism. Christian leaders in Australia expressed different opinions about

less government, more freedom

Gillard’s atheism. A Catholic archbishop claimed it would cost her votes, declaring: “Many Christians are concerned that someone who does not believe in God may not endorse the Christian traditions of respect for human life, for the sanctity of marriage and the independence of churches, church schools and church social welfare agencies.” Anglican Archbishop Roger Herft countered that any statements which portray the Christian faith as being “the sole arbiter on matters of moral integrity and just policy–making are unhelpful and untrue.” Pastor Danny Nalliah of Catch the Fire Ministries urged Australians not to vote for Gillard because “she is an atheist, and she refused to take an oath on the Bible.” However, fellow Pentecostal leader Mark Conner, pastor of Melbourne’s biggest church, CityLife, professed to be unconcerned about Gillard’s atheism. Finally, Gillard’s Labor Party won only 38 percent of the vote in a multi–party election and had to form a coalition to govern. In the U.S., presidential candidates typically need at least 51 percent of the popular vote to gain enough electoral votes to be elected. Despite what happened “down under,” do not expect an overt atheist to become president of the United States any time soon. While the new atheists, led by Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, have become more outspoken in the U.S., it appears that too many Americans would refuse to vote for such a candidate. cs Dr. Gary Scott Smith chairs the history department at Grove City College

in the Park

All sorts of pink goodies were on tap for this past Sunday’s “Pinknic” in the Park, raising awareness of breast cancer.

This guy was a busy bee at a picnic where everything was suitably oversized for a bugseye view.

‘We can do it’, i.e. defeat breast cancer, was the theme of this picnic.

This multi-generational, family effort included the wearing of pink bras outside their T-shirts. Albert the Viking spread the message about the need to fight breast cancer like a warrior.

The ‘Rockin’ the Ribbon’ picnic featured live music and dancing. The Savannah Bicycle Campaign made pink strawberry smoothies using pedal power.

Blotter All cases from recent Savannah/ Chatham Police Dept. incident reports

Two sides to (almost) every story

Police were called to Southside bar in reference to a fight in progress. Upon arrival, the officers were told that the suspects had left the scene in a white Honda Civic and a green Nissan Frontier.

An employee of the bar was the one who called the cops and told officers that the victim had gotten into a fight with four Hispanic men. The bartender said he escorted the group outside to prevent any damage in the establishment. Once outside, they said the group continued to kick, punch and generally beat the victim. Once police sirens were audible, the group fled headed in the direction of Tibet Ave. EMS responded to the scene. The victim had sustained a large laceration on his head as well as bruises and swelling. The victim declined treatment.

When asked what happened, he told police that the group began beating him for an unknown reason. He said he ran outside to try and get away. He also told officers he had been drinking heavily and had approximately ten beers. The injuries were photographed by police who eventually convinced the man he needed to go to the hospital for treatment. Later that day, one of the responding officers was driving past the scene and saw a green Nissan pull into the parking lot of the bar. The officer spoke with the driver who said that the fight had broken out because the victim had hit one of the men in the head with a beer bottle. The driver told the officer that they had left the scene to take the man to the hospital. • A woman called police to report a woman had threatened her son’s life. When police arrived at the scene the complainant said that the caller told her that her car had been stolen the other day and that the guy who stole it is friends with the complainant’s son. The caller said that her son shouldn’t

be hanging out with the car thief because if she saw her stolen car, she was going to shoot at it. The complainant took this as a threat to her son’s life. The police went to speak with the suspected threat maker. She told officers that that the guy who stole her car hangs out with the reporting party’s son and she was advising her that her son should not be hanging out with him. She told officers she never said anything about shooting anyone and that it was the woman who reported the threat who was being rude and disorderly. Both parties were given CRN cards. • An officer was called about a disorderly person. Several females were yelling and arguing. One of them said that they had all been put out of a club for fighting. Two of the women involved had been following her in their car. She pulled into a gas station because she felt that if she stopped at a light, they would have tried to fight her again.

The women who had been following her said they were trying to get her tag number because they hadn’t received a report at the club. A CRN was given. • A man called police to report that he had received several threatening messages on his cell phone the night before. Between 11:11 and 11:13 p.m. the complainant received three messages, each of which was left by the same voice. The unknown male called from a blocked number and threatened that he would come and cut him, and that “me and my homie gonna shoot up your place.” The man who reported the threats said he doesn’t know who would want to hurt him or his family. An extra patrol was placed on the home, and he was given a CRN card. cs Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020

I ran across the phrase “loose lips sink ships” the other day in some article about Twittering athletes harming their teams. I know this was part of a WWII propaganda campaign to keep civilians from talking about troop movements and shipping schedules. But did loose lips actually sink any ships? That is to say, did the loss of an Allied vessel ever directly result from inadvertent civilian disclosure of military secrets? —Curtis Edmonds, Hillsborough, New Jersey Concern about maritime blabbermouths arose in Britain during World

containing secret messages written in lemon juice, an espionage technique so sophisticated it’s been used by schoolchildren for generations. He was caught and executed in 1916. • Peruvian Ludovico Hurwitz-y-Zender was also recruited by the Germans to report on ship movements. Posing as a merchant, he was found out when he started ordering large quantities of sardines, which were out of season at the time. He was executed in 1916. You see our problem here. Lots of Allied ships were sunk, and numerous spies were listening for loose lips. However, most of those captured were bumblers. I came across only one instance of a spy who (a) collected info on ship movements and (b) claimed responsibility for sinking a ship. However, (a) didn’t lead to (b). Swashbuckling adventurer Fritz Joubert Duquesne, a native of South Africa, lost much of his family during the brutal Second Boer War of 1899-1902 and developed a lifelong hatred of the British. He claimed to have disguised himself as a Russian duke in 1916 and boarded HMS Hampshire in Scotland along with Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, who commanded British forces during the Boer

War. Duquesne said he alerted a German U-boat to the Hampshire’s approach, then escaped on a life raft. The ship was sunk. During World War II Duquesne organized 32 German agents in the U.S. The ring was broken up by the FBI in 1941, and its leader was sentenced to a long prison term. Admittedly Duquesne helped sink the Hampshire in one war and spied on ship movements in a different one, the loose lips that sent the vessel to the bottom were his own, and he may have invented his role altogether. So really this isn’t the greatest example. Although the “loose lips” slogan was introduced in 1942, there’s no evidence of shipping losses due to talkative civilians during World War II. The Nazi codebreaking agency known as the B-Dienst learned what it needed to know about ship convoys by decoding radio messages. Why the slogan then? No doubt it reflected the military’s habit of fighting the previous war, but it may also have been an attempt to get civilians to keep quiet about the devastation wrought by German subs. cs By cecil adams

news & Opinion

War I when enemy U-boats started going after merchant ships. By the end of the war British counterintelligence was reading the mail and cables of more than 13,500 individuals. While this undoubtedly reflected wartime paranoia to an extent, authorities turned up enough evidence to try 31 alleged spies between 1914 and 1917 and deport 1,700. Some notable cases: • Dutch national Haicke Janssen posed as a traveling cigar salesman, hanging out around the docks in Southampton to spy on ship movements and sending the information to German intelligence encoded in the form of sizable cigar orders destined for naval ports. Another Dutch “cigar salesman,” Willem Roos, sent similar orders from Edinburgh. Neither Janssen nor Roos had any inside information or access to military documents. The two men were executed as spies in 1915. • Ernst Waldemar Melin, a Swede, was recruited by the Germans to, as he later put it, “go to the ports round England and Scotland and try to find out what I can.” Provided with a code book and trained in naval identification, he sent letters to his superiors

Edible “dirt” has recently appeared on the menus of several of the world’s most renowned restaurants (e.g., the top-rated Noma in Copenhagen, Shakuf in Tel Aviv, Gilt in New York City). “People are really wowed to see dirt on their plates,” said Gilt’s head chef. Actually, the “dirt” only looks and feels like dirt. Each chef creates signature tastes from dried or charred powders with the appearance and consistency of sand, soil or ash -- from a base of plants, vegetables or eggs, or even dried beer. Said a reviewer, “These chefs are reminding people where food actually comes from.”

• Until August, Nettleton Middle School near Tupelo, Miss., had a strict policy for election of class officers for 6th-, 7th- and 8th-graders: Only white students could be president, and only black students could be vice president. (Other officers were segregated by race, as well.) Officials explained that it was one way to assure black representation even though three-fourths of the students are white. A school memo was leaked to The Smoking Gun website in August, and a day later the school district rescinded the policy. • After two Mexican fishermen were dragged from their boats and “chewed so badly that their bodies could not be identified by their own families,” according to a Daily Express review of an August British TV documentary, warnings were issued along the Pacific coast about the northern migration of Humboldt squid.

Furthermore, female Humboldts are capable of laying 30 million eggs.

At 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 10, with Dead Yet? At the Co–Laboratory, 631 E. Broad St. All Ages. $10. Singer, songwriter and guitarist Stza (from the late, lamented ska–punking Leftover Crack) put this fully–unleashed attack band together three years ago, with members of Choking Victim, The Degenerics, the Slackers, Nanuchka and others. Tattoo artist Nico de Gaillo (ex–Casa de Chihuahua) is second lead vocalist – giving the Hipsters’ four– chord punk a sort of sepia–toned California/surf vibe. “We have what I believe is a talented group of musicians here,” Stza writes on the band’s Myspace page, “and we are making an effort to try and mix shit up with our styles of playing and song–writing while keeping the ideas of leftist politics and ethics of true punk alive (we understand that the definition of ‘punk’ has broadened and in our opinion has been obscenely perverted for years to meet capitalistic ends), but we are not here to exclude people, we don’t care what you do, own, believe in, look like, where you come from or any of that superficial shit. We plan on playing all–ages shows with the hope of maintaining the interest of ‘slightly older’ folks such as ourselves.” See starfuckinghipsters.com

At 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9 At the Sentient Bean, 13 E. Park St. $5. Quirky and whimsical, New York indie singer/songwriter Rachael Sage’s songs are reminiscent of some of Tori Amos’ work. Like Amos, she has deep eyes, caresses the piano and sings in a breathy voice that can whisper like a spring breeze and then rage like a late summer storm. Sage, whose solo show (drawing on her Jewish immigrant heritage) is called Stop Me If I’m Kvetching, was trained as a ballet dancer, and received a degree in drama from Stanford University. She has, thus far, released nine albums. “I think the thing that drives me as a songwriter is probably the same thing that made me want to get up, when I was a teenager, and perform in a play,” she says. “There’s so many different ways that one can feel that they’re expressing their individuality and their perspective through art. And it definitely took me a while to get comfortable performing my own scripts.” See rachaelsage.com

GRINGO STAR

At 11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, with The Mammys At the Jinx, 127 W. Congress St. If the early Kinks had used a prevalent piano (and maybe a better producer), they might have sounded like this Atlanta band with the cheeky name. Gringo Star’s music is quasi–literate rock ‘n’ roll with rich, thick hooks, almost doo–woppy harmony vocals and snarling electric guitars. Then there’s the piano, which gives everything a sort of British music–hall feel. There’s a bit of surf, and a bit of punk, and a lot of Georgia–style Richenbacher jangle; Spin calls it “psych–based garage rock,” while the band members prefer the term “circus pop.” Gringo Star, one of the welcome surprise hits of SXSW and the CMJ Festival in 2008, has an album (All Y’all, produced by Ben H. Allen of Gnarls Barkley and Animal Collective fame) and a new one on the way. They just got off the road opening for the Toadies. Somebody send Ray Davies a CD, stat! See gringostar.net CS

gravelly–er. In 2003, 2004 I started singing like a blues singer. About three and a half years ago, my wife was like “Stop calling me on the phone, I can’t understand a thing you’re saying. Go to the fucking doctor. You’re killing me.” So I went to the doctor and he was like “Jesus! I’m surprised you’re not dead.” After I got the tumor removed, I didn’t speak for a couple weeks. It turned out I had been using my larynx, not my vocal chords. So my vocal chords were very rested. I got my voice back, and I was singing the entire Drivin N Cryin catalog. It was stunning to me. It was like magic. So I made a spoken word record, a folk record and a poetry record. And then I said “OK, let’s make a Drivin N Cryin record.”

Pirate Fest headliner Kevn Kinney makes music on his own terms by Bill DeYoung

bill@connectsavannah.com

It’s strangely appropriate that Kevn Kinney’s band, Drivin N Cryin, was chosen to headline the Tybee Island Pirate Fest’s opening–night concert. Kinney, a Wisconsin native, has been at or near the center of Atlanta’s rock ‘n’ roll scene for nearly 30 years, and he’s never done things the easy way. From Drivin N Cryin’s early global success as an “alt/rock” band — a slightly tougher cousin to R.E.M. — through a hard punk phase and series of acoustic solo, duo and band projects, Kinney has steadfastly refused to be pigeonholed or work on a timetable. He survived MTV, the rise and fall of Seattle grunge and at least two major label deals that went sour. In the music business, that makes him a maverick, a rebel. A pirate. Kinney and company aren’t the most famous act on the Pirate Fest bill. That distinction goes to second–night marquee name Eddie Money, whose ‘80s hits – from “Two Tickets to Paradise” to “Shakin’” – are still in regular, if slightly moldy, rotation on Classic Rock radio stations.

You often describe DNC as a power–pop band. That casts a pretty wide net. What does the term mean to you? The Money Man was, and is, a powerhouse vocalist and a peerlessly crowd–pleasing entertainer. The 2010 Pirate Fest has all the usual trimmings — a kids’ stage, a parade, a costume contest and lots of folks wearing eye patches and saying “Arrrrr” — and it’s doubtless going to be the weekend’s big draw. Several fine local bands and artists are playing, too, including the Train Wrecks, Wormsloew, the Looters and Athens’ Dodd Ferrelle. Right in the middle of all this buccanner bacchanalia comes Kevn Kinney, rock ‘n’ roll auteur. Last year’s Whatever Happened to the Great American Bubble Factory? was the first Drivin N Cryin album since 1997. Why was there such a long break? Kevn Kinney: Because I had a tumor on my vocal chords, which I didn’t realize I had. My voice got progressively

Kevn Kinney: The synthesis of the band was Nuggets, the psychedelic pop compilation that came out in the ‘70s. Stuff like “I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night.” That’s where me and Tim Nielsen (bass, mandolin, vocals) met. I was a Ramones, Patti Smith, Nuggets fan, he was a Clash, Nuggets fans. His uncle was in the Trashmen; my first producer was in 1910 Fruitgum Company. The Ramones are pretty poppy, for being punk rock. They’ve really got a lot of 1950s type melodies to a lot of their stuff. And Cheap Trick, I think, was really the blueprint for me. I thought “I’d like to have a band like Cheap Trick. They border on hard rock, but they’ve still got some power pop.” And then I wanted to make the words a little more meaningful, to me, in some ways. Not Bob Dylan, but if a Dylan–esque character was the lead singer of Cheap Trick.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re freaking loud. I liked it as far as what I could play. You know, the music that I listen to is not what I play. I listen to speed metal, I listen to avantâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;garde, weird jazz. I find way leftâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;ofâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;theâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;dial college stations real comforting. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to Skynyrd, really, any more, as an almost 50â&#x20AC;&#x201C;yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;old man I prefer stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more challenging. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the gift that God gave me. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull it off. I would love to be in an avantâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;garde jazz band called Boop or something, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think people would buy it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I would buy it. Maybe when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 70. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 70, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be doing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fly Me Courageousâ&#x20AC;? onstage somewhere .... Kevn Kinney: You think so? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be doing a deconstructed version of it. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do is a Ventures version of it, where I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sing. I can just do the instrumental version with surf guitar. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always gone outside the Drivin N Cryin borders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as they are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and kept up a solo career, playing with other musicians and recording acoustic music. Was that part of the plan? Kevn Kinney: After Island picked up our first record, then Peter Buck wanted to produce Mystery Road. They said no, but then they accidentally began my solo career by suggesting he produce a solo record. Then I just kinda got used do doing whatever I wanted to: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get DNC without the acoustic songs, and I get to do whatever I want to do.â&#x20AC;? One feeds the other: The solo thing feeds the band, and the band feeds the other thing. I get sick of doing one, and then I get to rest and then do something else. I think the solo thing is harder and the rock band is easier. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got another record coming out in March with Anton Fier and this band I put together in New York. Your acoustic stuff is separate and distinct from Drivin N Cryin. Is that your preferred method of writing and performing? Kevn Kinney: Not this week. I came home from the road last week, and my wife says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi baby, how you doing?â&#x20AC;?

And I said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m officially sick of myself.â&#x20AC;? I go through periods where the folk thing is on the way back burner. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing any folk shows now, because I burned out on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. I used them to feed my family for so long â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I had two kids, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grown now, and I had alimony and all that stuff. I had to do a lot of folk shows to supplement my income. And I would up paying my dues in a way I never thought I would have to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of weird bars, three sets a night, and a lot of sucking it up as people just talked while I played. Which was really good training for me. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sick of it. I have no hunger for it right now. You know, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not selling it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not buying it. And I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selling it. I can sell the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll thing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited about Drivin N Cryin, and the stuff Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing with Anton. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Drivin N Cryin doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use a set list. We used to, in our first couple years, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get to a song that I just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the mood for playing. But everybody else was ready to play it, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d play it, and it was a crappy version of that song. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why now, when you see Drivin N Cryin, every song that you hear is a song that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided that I want to sing. That I can sell. CS

Karla Bonoff headlines the 2010 Savannah Folk Festival

by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

As the years go by, the Savannah Folk Festival is moving away from the vintage performers, the goateed “Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley” types, and putting the spotlight on deserving singer/songwriters from a more contemporary era. Last year’s headlining artist was Janis Ian, who rose to prominence in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. For this year’s festival wrap–up concert – it comes at the end of three days of acoustic music at various venues – the Savannah Folk Music Society has enlisted Karla Bonoff, part of the great California gold rush of singer/songwriters from the latter part of the Me Decade. Bonoff closes out Sunday’s Grayson Stadium concert, traditionally the folk festival’s finale event. Her big break came in 1976 when Linda Ronstadt, arguably the biggest singer in rock ‘n’ roll at the time, put three of Bonoff ’s songs – “If He’s Ever Near,” “Lose Again” and the shimmering, spectral “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me” – on her multi–platinum album Hasten Down the Wind. Bonoff ’s self–titled debut for Columbia Records received rave reviews in Time and Rolling Stone, and she was fast–tracked for stardom, opening cross–country tours for Jackson Browne and James Taylor. Karla Bonoff, which has never gone out of print, is one of a handful of singer/songwriter albums from the period that holds up just as well today. Bonoff ’s voice, with its aching vulnerability and clear, ringing tones, was

ladeled like honey over a set of gorgeous confessional songs. Bonoff played piano and guitar, and the production – from Stone Poneys veteran Kenny Edwards, who’d been Bonoff ’s best buddy since their high school days – was crystalline. “I wrote most of that in my 20s,” Bonoff says. “I wrote music first, and lyrics would just come out of me. I don’t really always know where they came from, they just did. It was over a 10–year period between the time I started writing that stuff and actually recording it. And I wrote a lot of bad stuff in between.” Never a prolific writer, Bonoff – just 26 when the album was released – soon discovered that “keeping up” with stardom was a tricky business. “I had almost my whole life to prepare that one, and then I had a year and a half to do the second one,” she explains. “That’s how it is a lot of times, those first albums are some of your best work. You get such a long time to

prepare. “Then what happens is the pressures of the whole corporate part of the thing start to kick in. And in hindsight, unfortunately, I wish I’d been more prepared to sort of jump on that fast track. Because there was a lot going on. You have to handle a lot of stuff, a lot of multi–tasking, a lot of touring and writing at the same time, and schmoozing people ... it’s pretty enormous. “I think I was emotionally not prepared for all that, in terms of really taking the bull by the horns and taking advantage of everything. At times, it was just a little intimidating to me.” Although she landed a Top 20 hit (“Personally,” which she didn’t write) from her third Columbia album, Wild Heart of the Young, Bonoff all but dropped off the radar. In the 1990s, she and Edwards re–formed their ‘60s band, Bryndle, which also included folk/pop luminaries Wendy Waldman and Andrew Gold, but that project ran out of gas within a decade. So Bonoff took to the road, playing 40 to 50 shows a year, backed by Edwards and guitarist Nina Gerber. Edwards died of prostate cancer Aug. 18. Bonoff says she’s still reeling from the loss. Meanwhile, she and Gerber will play the Savannah show as a duo. “Gradually, we’ll find another person,” Bonoff sighs, “but it’s not something I’m going to do in a hurry.” Her most recent album, Live, was produced by Edwards and released independently in 2007.

Also on Sunday’s bill: Sam Pacetti. From North Florida, this astonishingly versatile finger–style acoustic guitarist walks confidently in the shoes of the masters – Fahey, Kottke and even Travis. When he was but a youngster, Pacetti was home–schooled in the ways of the strings by the legendary Floridian Gamble Rogers, who took him on as a protégé. Otis Taylor. An award–winning, Chicago–based acoustic blues singer and songwriter who plays guitar, banjo and mandolin, and whose songs tend to focus on issues (both historical and contemporary) of concern to African

Americans. Said Downbeat of his 2008 CD Recapturing the Banjo: “There may not be a better roots album released this year or decade.” Beverly Smith and Carl Jones. They call what they do “the art of the duet.” It’s old–time Appalachia – she on guitar and fiddle, he on “just about anything with strings.” Their newest recording, Glow, was cut in Athens, and in a farmhouse in Bogart.

“Right now, when you write songs, it’s kind of gotten back to this grassroots thing where you’re doing it for yourself,” Bonoff says. “And who knows what’s gonna happen out there? The music business is so dead at this point. “For us, what it gets down to is having CDs to sell at gigs, and who knows where it would get played or anything like that? It’s kind of like the Wild West, in a way. I’m kind of confused about it all.”

MON- SAT 4pm - 3am 309 West Congress St.

There was some skepticism in the air early on this past Sunday night at the Trustees. The opening band, the Perry, Georgia–based chill–wave purveyor known as Washed Out, started so promptly that by 8:20, with half the crowd still not present, they were fondly bidding us farewell with their last song. After the delayed start of Edward Sharpe a couple months ago, it was clear this show would run punctually. Some recent arrivals, betting nothing would start before 8:30, cried foul, wanting to hear more from the openers; others pointed out the young band only has five or six songs total. They played well and will likely be counted among top 10 lists of bands to watch at SXSW, CMJ, et al in the next year or two. The 40-minute interlude between bands consisting of piped in music, which ranged from dub to a Bobby Brown song from the Ghostbusters 2 soundtrack, was quickly forgotten once Yeasayer took the stage. The band and production were top notch. Playing as a five–piece (the three members of the band plus a drummer and an extra percussionist/keyboard player), the group was tight, offering up a mix of material from their new album, Odd Blood, plus their first album, All

Hour Cymbals. The crowd completely disregarded most of the seating and filled the open front section and aisles to dance, something singer Chris Keating commented on part way into the show. “Thanks for not sitting down,” he told the wildly appreciative audience. “When I saw all those seats, I was worried.” The full band arrangement takes a big step toward correcting what had always been the Achilles heel of live performances by electronic acts: It’s not much fun staring at a guy with a laptop. Further elevating the performance was a clever array of effects and programming that allowed the band to open the structures of songs for solos and improvisation. It wasn’t just a louder version of the songs as they appeared on the records. This was a real live show that hinged on precision and chemistry; the quintet possesses no shortage of either. What was perhaps most impressive was the dynamic range of the band. The drone of a sustained sitar note would hang over the room, bringing temporary calm before erupting into the big beats and richly layered guitars and keys that have made the group a favorite

among alt–dance enthusiasts. It was a proper sonic journey made all the better by lighting and staging that amplified the experience rather than distracting from it. After a big opening, the band settled into a groove, brought in a couple of the mellower, more sentimental tunes from the new record that blend a dash of Bollywood with a dose of Duran Duran and a certain post–hip hop sensibility. They built back up to an epic close that drew such wild applause that the band returned for a dazzling twosong encore. As the people filed out, clearly energized, the question that lingered is why talented, nationally recognized acts aren’t coming and playing big rooms in Savannah more often. Following the success of both the Edward Sharpe and Yeasayer shows in the Trustees, hopefully we are beginning to see a critical mass necessary to support these types of shows more often, not just once every three months, but dare I say, once a month, or, gasp, every other week? There is no shortage of talented contemporary musicians making interesting music. They should be coming here. If you saw the enthusiasm and energy in the Trustees Sunday night, it would be clear why. CS

Laughing, smiling and cracking jokes. Oh, and making Lucille’s strings cry throughout the Johnny Mercer Theatre on Wednesday the 29th. B.B. King made his return to Savannah a special one. A standing ovation welcomed Mr. King onto the stage that night. While belting out the blues Mr. King told stories of family roots here in Savannah, and invited some of his relatives on stage for a brief moment. He entertained the crowd with all his classic hits, and closed the night with his trademark song “The Thrill Is Gone.” cs

Craig Amason talks about the challenges of preserving Flannery O’Connor’s legacy in Milledgeville by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

Next week the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home will have arguably one of the most important weeks since it re–opened. On Wednesday, the site will be honored as host of the announcements for the National Book Award finalists. The following day, its annual Fall lecture series will kick off with a talk by Craig Amason, the Executive Director of the Andalusia Foundation, who is in charge of preserving the farm in Milledgeville where O’Connor lived and wrote from 1951 until her death in 1964. Confronted by encroaching development and tasked with saving structures on the farm that were neglected for decades, Amason has had his work cut out for him over the nine years since the Foundation took over the property. We caught up with him by phone last week to talk about O’Connor, the farm, and the importance the property had in shaping her fiction. What was the state of the property before the foundation stepped in?

Craig Amason: Shortly after Flannery O’Connor died in 1964, her mother Regina O’Connor left the house and lived the rest of her life in the Klein home, downtown in Milledgeville, which is where Flannery lived as a teenager. Mrs. O’Connor lived the rest of her life there. While Flannery died at the age of 39 in 1964, Mrs. O’Connor lived to be 99 and died in 1995. No one fully occupied this house, Andalusia, again after 1964. It did fall into a state of disrepair, especially the outbuildings. The main house is not in danger. Between 1995 and 1999, they did quite a bit of work on the exterior of the house. It’s in pretty decent shape, but the rest of the farm complex is in desperate need. If the main house where she lived and worked is secure, how important is something like the Hill House (where tenant farmers lived during O’Connor’s lifetime) to future generations? Craig Amason: It’s very important, and that’s why we’re focusing so much on

Flannery O’Connor’s Andalusia farm in Milledgeville, Ga.

the Hill House, because if we don’t focus on it, we’re gonna lose it. It’s essential to the interpretation of the farm. It’s also essential to the understanding of how significant this place was as an inspiration for O’Connor’s fiction because you have farm hands living on the farm in those stories. It would be easy to think that raising money to preserve the legacy of one of the great American writers would be simple. Why isn’t that the case? Craig Amason: For a couple of reasons. One is that we’re in the worst economic times of our lifetime. Plus, you’ve got tremendous amount of competition for historic preservation dollars and we live

in a state where historic preservation is not a high priority, at least from the government standpoint. They just don’t have any money. We don’t restore buildings in the state, we build stadiums. With state budgets declining for the foreseeable future, what’s the solution? Craig Amason: I think it is continuing to raise awareness. That’s what we’ve spent a good portion of our time doing over the last 8 years. It’s paid off in the sense that our donations have gone up every year in spite of the economy. We’ve been able to restore three structures. We’ve been able to construct an interpretive nature trail and a peacock aviary. We’ve had some successes, but

Is that what your talk will be about? Craig Amason: I’m going to present a talk that I gave in Rome, Italy in 2009. What it does is take one of Flannery’s stories called “A View of the Woods”

and talks about the events in the story and how it mirrors what was going on in Milledgeville and Baldwin County when Flannery wrote that story so far as urban encroachment and development, and the impact that had on the community and an individual family. I’m using that as a segue to talk about what we’re doing here now. Is there threat of development encroaching on the property? Craig Amason: I’m sitting on 524 acres and I’ve got a 20 acre complex of buildings that are falling down, after awhile you start thinking, how much of this property do I really need to have to interpret Flannery O’Connor here?

need a lot of money and we’re sitting on extremely valuable property. There’s a lot of urban development around us. There’s a Wal–Mart 1400 feet through the woods. There’s a car dealership you can hear the loud speaker from all the time. We’re surrounded by development on three sides. It’s almost like Graceland, how it used to be out in the country in Memphis and now it’s in the middle of Memphis. She’d be rolling over in her grave if she knew you could hear a car dealership from the farm. Craig Amason: She’s a very prophetic writer. That’s why I use this story as an analogy. When she wrote that story

she knew full well what was going to happen. It was a theme O’Connor was very familiar with and something that plays out again and again in her fiction because she’s so closely related to the agrarian writers at Vanderbilt, the ones who knew how the urban landscape was going to change the culture of the South. cs A View From the Woods: Preserving the Fortune of Andalusia When: Thursday, Oct. 14, 12:30 p.m. Where: Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home, 207 E.

we have a huge challenge. It’s very similar to the situation at Rowan Oak, which was Faulkner’s home in Oxford. For the longest time, Ole Miss had that property, but they didn’t have any money to do anything with it. It was in serious bad shape until finally people at the national level said, “For Godsakes, this is a Nobel prize winning author.” Slowly, as we raise more awareness, we’ll see more people interested in helping preserve this place.

Review: Steel Magnolias by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

26 OCT 6 - OCT 12, 2010 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

Robert Harlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy Steel Magnolias is so wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;written, so beautifully paced, it would take an exceptionally opaque theater company to do it injustice. Happily that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case with the City of Savannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current production of this ironâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;clad work of dramatic arts. With a cast of six sensitively cast and utterly winning women, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steel Magnolias succeeds from the opening line to the last. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a seductive show that brings you

The dialogue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; alternating between sharp, sweet and unabashedly hilarious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bounces back and forth between the four women, from one side to the other, with Clairee and Ousier set a little bit back, in the center, chiming in like the midrange speakers. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gossip, jokes, insults and words of undying affection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy being nice to each other,â&#x20AC;? Truvy points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much else to do in this town.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this sort of attention to detail that

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a seductive show that brings you into its world and convinces you, early on, that sticking around is going to be a rich and rewarding experience.

into its world and convinces you, early on, that sticking around is going to be a rich and rewarding experience. The world in question is Truvyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty salon in tiny Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Truvy (Kelley Gray), the singâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;songy chatterbox and undying optimist; justâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;arrived Annelle (Danielle Frazier), quiet and shy with a mysterious past; Wise Clairee (Vickie Blackshear), who has a funny retort to just about everything; Ouiser (Gail Byrd), bitter and sarcastic, with a heart of gold under her crusty armor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not crazy,â&#x20AC;? Ouiser says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been in a very bad mood for 40 years.â&#x20AC;? Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sparkling young Shelby (Carmel Grace Cowart), whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to be married to a sharp lawyer from the city; and her mother, Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lynn, a matriarch with a brilliant mind and a tart tongue, resigned to always doing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for her beloved family. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happens: You like these women. A lot. As they sit, stand and wander around the beauty shop set, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drawn into their conversations, their lives and complex relationships with one another. Onstage, director Ellie Pyle has achieved a physical balance that broadcasts the dialogue in a unique variation of stereo: For example, during much of the first act, as Shelby and Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lynn are having their hair done by Truvy and Annelle, respectively, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re perched on salon chairs set apart on either side of the stage.

makes this show sing for two wholly satisfying hours. During an early scene, when Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;threatening diabetes makes its first unannounced appearance, the audience is already enveloped, and the moment is raw and emotional. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about Steel Magnolias â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tragedy to go along with the comedy, and Harlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliance is in the subtle way that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stitched together. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made some new friends, and by the time they have to deal with darkness, you do, too. The cast members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all six of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; work together like a wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;manicured machine. Still, there are standout performances. Blackshear knocks every one of Claireeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zingers out of the park, and Byrd somehow makes Ouiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irascible coot lovable. Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big denouement monologue is heartbreaking. Throughout the play, the wonderful Jones has played her character as a rock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; albeit a rock with a stinging sense of humor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and when she finally comes apart, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re witnesses to the unthinkable. Steel Magnolias is an emotional roller coaster. In that way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like life itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; despite the downs that come with the ups, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade the experience and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d buy another ticket in a Louisiana heartbeat.

Winemakers all over the globe have embraced industry changes to make operations more environmentally friendly. Organic and bio–dynamic practices are commonplace. Sustainable farming methods are the rage and many wineries are laying in rows of solar panels to generate their own power. Still, the carbon footprint of the wine industry becomes a size 13 when pallets of heavy liquid are loaded into gas–guzzling trucks that must also bear the weight of heavy glass bottles and highly protective shipping cartons.

How can a serious tree–hugger drink wine with a clear conscience? Boxed wines are the answer. Once

bites & Pieces Tim’s restaurant hopping turns up intriguing and satisfying meals. Hunter House

A heartfelt farewell goes out to Chef Espy Geissler and his business partner John Hunter. Their Hunter House Inn has been a favorite watering hole and dining destination for more than two decades. I’ll miss sitting on the big veranda sipping gin and tonic, spending a quiet night swapping stories at the bar with John and Espy and, of course, I’ll really miss the food Espy dished out. It’s been an honor getting to know both these guys – and I especially relish the idea of having more time to pick Espy’s brain. This globe–trotter and raconteur is an endless source of food and wine knowledge – as well as being a well read and witty conversationalist. Best of luck to you both. As for you dear reader, you have until dinner on Oct. 31 to sample what you’ll be missing. At darn near land’s end on Tybee Island, it’s far reach – but a rewarding experience.

Big Green Box (equal to four bottles) is around $20. I sampled Pinot Grigio and Old Vine Zinfandel. The Pinot Grigio is bright, crisp and refreshing. A hint of green apple aroma gives way to a palate that’s mildly tart; gentle minerality leaves me mouth–smacking for more. It’s a perfect party wine – or a willing companion to briny shrimp, oysters or light salads. The Zin is characteristically smokey with up front tannins and enough complexity of fresh, dark fruit flavors to make it drink far bigger than its price tag. At 13.5 percent alcohol, it will stand a little chill. That’s good news when carting the box along to a cookout – I suggest burgers laced with a bit of ground lamb. Despite its bargain price, this juice will also buddy up to a big old steak with wild mushroom topping. Varietals offered will include Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Once opened, the wine will remain fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month. cs

He picks some experiences every week to share:

Sol–long Shelley!

Shelley Smith, the creative juice behind the original Venus de Milo, Eos and Sol has been summoned by her muse. It’s another bittersweet good–bye. Shelley, accompanied by her mama, Martha “Mama’s Greens” Chapman, are heading to Alabama for Shelley to get serious about her love – art – and to step away from the frantic and exhausting restaurant business. Not to fear, she’s already brought in an able business partner who is expected to become sole owner on Jan. 1. Andrea Johnson brings restaurant and business knowledge to the Habersham Street eatery. She and her husband already own Johnson Marine Construction Co. Look for a cautious entry – then changes than will model Sol’s successful track but reflect Andrea’s own vision.

Show some love...

Chef Andrew and Aileen Trice have had the patience of Job as the neighboring church completed a nearly year–long construction project that often left the little Angel’s BBQ on Oglethorpe Lane surrounded by cranes, orange hurricane fence and porta–johns. The work is over and it’s time to get serious about some ’cue...or even some vegetarian–friendly faux–q Andy is the undisputed spiritual guide through the myriad of hot chile peppers.

Box me in

relegated to the cheapest section of the package store, boxed wines, embraced by Aussies as “cask” wines, offer some pretty good juice at a good price. For occasional drinkers and bars that need a long–lasting by–the–glass option, boxed wines stay fresh for a month or more. The Big Green Box from Don Sebastiani and Sons take the box idea an environmental step further. The Big Green Box takes less energy to produce than four glass bottles. It is light and compact, using less fossil fuel in transport. In addition, the box is 100 percent recyclable and printed on paper sourced from sustainable forests. The compact size (three fit side–by–side in my fridge) is easy to store, refrigerate and take to parties. And, smartly I think, Don and Sons used its Pepperwood Grove wines as the filler. The familiar brand has two decades in the market and a solid fan base. It’s a bargain basement, everyday quaffer typically priced at $6–$7 a bottle. Suggested retail on the 3–liter

â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? winner (and reality TV star) Fantasia comes to town Nov. 10

Fantasia Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible that Fantasia (Barrino) will have a more lucrative postâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;American Idol career than Jennifer Hudson. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nominated for eight Grammys, and will shortly star in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical The Color Purple. In the Oprahâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;produced stage show, Fantasia played the lead role of Celie, and according to reports out of Hollywood, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll duplicate it for the movie. On the road in support of her third CD, Back to Me, Fantasia will sing at the Johnny Mercer Theatre Nov. 10. Tickets, on sale now, are $45.50â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$75. The New York Times called her Broadway â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty terrific. So terrific that this earnest but mechanical musical is more effective and affecting than it was when it yawned open a year and a half ago.â&#x20AC;? Not bad at all for a North Carolina native who describes herself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;functionally illiterate,â&#x20AC;? and who had never â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before accepting the Color Purple role â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seen a single stage musical. Her father sued her for $10 million, claiming she said disparaging (and just plain untrue) things about him in her 2006 autobiography. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the matter of her muchâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;publicized fling with a married man, which resulted in an (also muchâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; publicized) suicide attempt on Aug. 9. The singer has denied trying to take her own life, although the incident was chronicled for her VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real. Whether any of this matters might be moot, as Back to Me recently hit No. 1 on Billboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hip hop/R&B album chart, and

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will be followed (at 8) by a show by the incredible Athens band Venice is Sinking. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cost the public $5 to see the band, but SCAD students with I.D. can get in for nothing. For additional info, see savannahrecordfair.com

PIZZA. BEER. FOOTBALL.

And the Lifetime Achievement Award goes to ... Gandalf the White! Sir Ian McKellen, so memorable as Gandalf in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, tops the list of honorees at the 2010 Savannah Film Festival, set for Oct. 30–Nov. 6. The award, as always will be handed over during a ceremony at the Trustees Theatre. McKellen, of course, is a distinguished British stage actor with a long

and impressive resume. His other best–known films include Gods and Monsters (he played James Whale, the eccentric director of Frankenstein), the X–Men series (he’s the mad mutant Magneto), The DaVinci Code (the kooky and crooked Sir Leigh Teabing) and Stephen King’s Apt Pupil (he was the once-and-always Nazi hiding out in a suburban American neighborhood). Also scheduled to make appearances

at the festival: Liam Neeson, a real–life matinee idol and one of Ireland’s best–known dramatic exports. Then there’s Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet), Virginia Madsen (Sideways), Zack Guilford (Friday Night Lights), playwright/director Neil LaBute, director Tony Goldwyn and actor, writer and director Edward Burns, who’ll screen his latest film, Nice Guy Johnny.

American Grindhouse @ Muse by Jim Morekis

jim@connectsavannah.com

The new documentary American Grindhouse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is getting great buzz on the festival circuit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; explores the phenomenon of soâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;called â&#x20AC;&#x153;exploitation filmsâ&#x20AC;? of the 1960s-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. The film screens this Sunday at Muse Arts Warehouse as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Movies Savannah Missedâ&#x20AC;? series, sponsored by Connect Savannah. Exploitation films are â&#x20AC;&#x153;trashy, lowâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; budget flicks that make up for their lack of production value or starâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;power by throwing in copious amounts of T&A, violence, action or controversial subject matter,â&#x20AC;? says organizer Jim Reed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These overâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;theâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;top and often politically incorrect movies were primarily shown in runâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;down theaters in the more dangerous parts of major urban cities that were nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grindhousesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because they would literally crank these sleazy films nonâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;stop, around the clock for whomever would show up to buy a cheap ticket and some crappy popcorn,â&#x20AC;? says Reed. American Grindhouse gathers rare clips from over 100 films, as well as interviews with directors, producers and actors who helped define the genre.

The Social Network Like the screwball comedies and film noir staples of yore, The Social Network exhibits an extraordinary gift for gab. Words fly like machine gun strafes, and arguments generally end with the more verbally adroit speaker standing over the other person like a wave that’s managed to tumble a surfer. If screenwriting was considered a sport, Aaron Sorkin’s script wouldn’t just be competing for year–end movie awards but for Olympic gold as well.

One of the best films of the year, The Social Network is the fascinating (though factually sketchy) story of how a Harvard nerd by the name of Mark Zuckerberg (superbly played by Jesse Eisenberg) created Facebook and in the process became the world’s youngest billionaire. Yet this isn’t an inspiring movie about an underdog beating the odds as much as it’s a prickly mishmash of how one person’s insecurities led to material gains even as his personality remained stuck in an arrogant, off–putting zone. As depicted here, Zuckerberg is frightfully brilliant, yet brains don’t compensate for the manner in which he screws over people, particularly his only friend (Andrew Garfield, much better here than in the upcoming Never Let Me Go). And when Napster co–founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake, impressively playing sleazy) worms his way into the game, the fledgling company really takes off, but at what cost to Zuckerberg’s already blackened soul? Coming off the overrated slog The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, director David Fincher keeps the proceedings – two separate lawsuits on top of the Facebook genesis material – moving at a rapid clip, a task made easier by Sorkin’s breezy, biting dialogue and animated performances by a well–chosen cast. But a quick pace isn’t the same as a hurried one, and The Social Network takes its time in showing how one loner was able to unite 500 million friends, even as he remained

The world needed an immediate remake of Sweden’s 2008 Let the Right One In about as much as it needed another vampire flick, yet the good news is that Let Me In can hardly be construed as a shoddy, cash–in–quick product. Crafted with extreme care by writer–director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), this is that rare retelling that pays the utmost respect to its predecessor – I’d be hard–pressed to single out even one frame that cheapens the memory of the original. As before, the setting is an apartment complex in a frozen environment (here, Los Alamos, N.M)., where lonely young Owen (The Road’s Kodi Smit–McPhee) notices he has new neighbors in the form of Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz of Kick–Ass) and a man he assumes is her father (Richard Jenkins). Picked on by bullies and exhibiting some disturbing character traits himself, Owen is happy to become friends with this strange girl who doesn’t like candy and can only hang out with him at night. Reeves largely sticks close to the look and tone of the first film, but not in the annoying manner of Gus Van Sant’s atrocious Psycho remake. Reeves is clearly thinking for himself, and while his slight altercations result in a picture not quite as powerful as its predecessor (particularly during the climax, a mesmerizing piece of filmmaking in the ’08 take), he’s to be commended for creating a film that ably stands on its own. Still, for all of Reeves’ accomplishments, the most thrilling aspect of Let Me In is that it’s the first movie in 31 years from Hammer Film Productions, the studio responsible for many of the horror classics of the 1950s and ’60s. With Let Me In, the revived company has risen from the grave in impressive fashion.

CASE 39 Case 39 is one of those unwanted Hollywood bastards, a production that was completed years

ago and has even been released in other territories but is only now making its stateside debut. Just how old is this picture? Let’s just say that when filming began, David O. Selznick was still combing the country for the perfect Scarlett O’Hara. OK, so I exaggerate by a decade or seven, but the point is that for this to have had a shot at succeeding, it probably needed to predate Orphan, The Omen and perhaps even The Bad Seed in the “evil that kids do” mini–genre. As it stands, its thudding familiarity is only compounded by its narratively limp and technically humdrum presentation. Renee Zellweger stars as a social worker who saves 10–year–old Lilith (Jodelle Ferland) from execution by her seemingly religious– wacko parents, only to eventually figure out that the adults were only trying to save the world from their demonic daughter. Along the way, cop Ian McShane demonstrates remarkably poor aim when it comes to firearms, child psychiatrist Bradley Cooper discovers hornets crawling out of every bodily orifice, and Zellweger manages to make a horror film that isn’t even one–tenth as terrifying as her romantic comedy New In Town.

You Again There’s a lot about You Again that’s instantly disposable, from its generic title to its bland leading lady to a storyline that’s as weightless as a sponge cake. But leave it to the old pros in the cast to prevent this from completely sinking into the abyss of immediately forgotten comedies. Kristen Bell, only fitfully succeeding in making an impression, plays Marni, who’s shocked to learn that her brother (Jimmy Wolk) is marrying Joanna (Odette Yustman), the girl who made her life an endless hell back in high school. Everyone in Marni’s family thinks Joanna is the greatest, so Marni makes it her mission to expose her as malicious and deceitful. For her part, Marni’s mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) is aghast when she discovers that Joanna’s aunt is a former school chum (Sigourney continues on p. 34

Weaver) with whom she had a falling–out decades ago on prom night. The Marni–Joanna clashes offer little that’s new, so the fun is in watching those exquisite older actresses, Curtis and Weaver, square off against each other. Throw in the always–welcome Victor Garber as Curtis’ husband, an amusing bit by Kristin Chenoweth as a dance instructor, and a cameo by a former Dallas star that almost made me fall out of my seat, and you may want to give You Again a chance. But only if Mean Girls isn’t playing on cable.

DEVIL Agatha Christie meets M. Night Shyamalan in Devil, and damn if the mystery author’s inspiration doesn’t put the hack auteur’s career back on the right path. Make no mistake: There’s nothing special about Devil, but after a string of notorious flops, it’s surprising to see Shyamalan involved with a film that’s at the very least watchable. Still, any praise should be followed by an asterisk, since his contributions are relegated to co–producing the picture and coming up with the storyline (John

Erick Dowdle and Brian Nelson get credit for the direction and screenplay, respectively). But regardless of how the muted kudos is parceled out, the end result is a moderately entertaining tale that borrows Christie’s Ten Little Indians template of putting a group of strangers together and having them get picked off one by one. Here, we find five people trapped together on a stuck elevator, with the added element of having the killer among the quintet actually being the devil in disguise. The supernatural angle occasionally lapses into silliness (the pontificating by a superstitious security guard grows overbearing), but Dowdle comes up with some interesting visuals, and the atmospheric score by Fernando Velazquez (The Orphanage) is, uh, heaven–sent.

The Town Is it safe to assume the Gigli wisecracks are permanently behind us? Granted, Ben Affleck’s professional dalliances with Jennifer Lopez – specifically, Gigli and Jersey Girl – didn’t exactly aid a career lull further bogged down

by the likes of Surviving Christmas and Paycheck. But a better selection of roles as well as a stunning directorial debut with 2007’s Gone Baby Gone have led to a resuscitation that continues with The Town, his second eye–catching effort as writer–director. While The Town doesn’t quite match the giddy pleasures of Gone Baby Gone (which, after all, was second only to No Country for Old Men on my 10 Best list for ’07), it aptly illustrates that Affleck won’t have to contend with either the label of “beginner’s luck” or “sophomore jinx.” A crackling drama with a fine sense of both spacial relationships (thank Affleck the director) and character relationships (thank Affleck the writer), this adaptation of Chuck Hogan’s novel Prince of Thieves (co–scripted by Peter Craig and Aaron Stockard) is set in a section of Boston known for producing more bank robbers than anywhere else in the country. One of these heist–happy fellows is Doug MacRay (Affleck), who leads his three accomplices (the most volatile played by The Hurt Locker’s Jeremy Renner) on a caper that results in the masked bandits briefly taking a hostage,

EASY A Heathers in the 1980s. Clueless in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. Mean Girls in the noughts. It seems like every decade insists on giving audiences a razorâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;sharp high school satire centered around the travails of a brainy and likable female protagonist. Easy A appears to be this new decadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first entry in the sweepstakes, and while it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite compare to its enduring predecessors, it will do just fine until something more permanent comes along.

bank employee Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). Electing to keep tabs on Claire to insure she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too chummy with the FBI (repped by Mad Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jon Hamm) and reveal anything that might incriminate the gang, Doug strikes up a friendship with the unsuspecting woman, a camaraderie that quickly turns into love. A genre flick like this canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t avoid all the cliches, but it manages to sidestep some of the biggest ones. At any rate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little moments that make this stand out, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cop looking the other way or a final sip from a soft drink resting on the ground. The film can quickly shift from funny (as when Claire tells Doug that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to recognize her kidnappersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voices if she ever heard them again) to frightening (Pete Postlethwaiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wiry frame and low voice belie his demonic disposition), and it plays out in ways not entirely expected. Exhibiting a complete command of his craft, Affleck sets The Town on fire, and his career behind the camera should only continue to heat up.

various nerds want to score with her. Soon, Olive is likening her situation to Hester Prynne’s in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, and rather than fight the rumors, she starts parading around the campus grounds wearing tight–fitting clothes accentuated by a red letter “A.” The Hawthorne comparisons are often clumsy, and Olive’s friends and tormentors are a rather nondescript lot (most invisible of all is Penn Badgley as the only guy who treats her decently). But there’s still much to enjoy: Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as the Coolest Parents Ever; Thomas Haden Church wearing sensitivity well as a congenial teacher; Lisa Kudrow in a welcome appearance as a shallow guidance counselor; and no shortage of clever retorts penned by debuting scripter Bert V. Royal. Easy A may be about the kids, but aside from Stone’s contribution, it mostly benefits from all the adult supervision.

Machete

It’s an intriguing grudge match: The taciturn star of Machete vs. the over–the–hill stars of The Expendables. Even with the odds against him, I’d put my money on the dude who speaks softly and carries a big slice–and–dice stick. More fun than a barrel of Sylvester Stallone DVDs, Machete is gleeful trash that delivers on the promise it held when it was just a twinkle in creator Robert Rodriguez’s eye, as one of the mock trailers shown in the 2007 Rodriguez–Tarantino collaboration Grindhouse. I’ll leave it up to the culture critics to determine whether its outlandish brand of gore and violence is more detrimental to society than the more realistic sadism exhibited in movies like Kick–Ass, but everything about Machete is so over the top that it’s impossible to feel as if one’s morals are being compromised by this thing. When a movie quickly moves from a sequence in which the title bad–ass (played by Danny Trejo) decapitates several men with one swift 360–degree turn to a scene in which a naked woman retrieves a hidden cell phone from her vajayjay, it’s clear that nothing’s to be taken seriously. That’s not to say the movie won’t incense a significant amount of folks, particularly our friends in the GOP. As expected, the Mexicans are the heroes, demanding to be treated like people and eager to have a crack at the American Dream. On the other side

The Last Exorcism

The prospect of journeying to Hell and back seemed less daunting than sitting through another horror yarn made in the fauxâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;documentary style of The Blair Witch Project, but The Last Exorcism proves to be a pleasant surprise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even more so since Hostel gorehound Eli Roth is listed as one of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producers. Unlike Rothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;R outings as a director, The Last Exorcism is rated PGâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;13, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that debatable rating give the false impression that this is one for the whole family to enjoy. Director Daniel Stamm uses the fake cinema verite style to milk a lot of tension out of this feature in which the charismatic and cynical Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian), a reverend who no longer believes what he preaches, takes along a twoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;person documentary crew to perform an exorcism in some remote Louisiana hellhole, to prove conclusively that exorcisms are bogus (he employs a smoking crucifix and iPodâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;emanating growls in his act) and merely prey upon the superstitions of rubes. Cotton thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found a perfect showcase as devout farmer Louis Sweetzer (Louis Herthum) insists that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his sweet and innocent teenage daughter Nell (Ashley Bell) whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing the livestock mutilations while being demonically possessed. After some initial scoffing, Cotton realizes that there is indeed something wrong with the girl, but is it merely psychological trauma or is Satan really hanging around? Propelled by unexceptionally fine

performances from Fabian and Bell, this creepy yarn builds to a powerhouse ending that would be even stronger were it not so choppy and truncated.

NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS Perhaps Universal Pictures would have been wise to keep the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original British moniker, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, in the hopes that a few illâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;informed folks stateside would mistake it for a softcore romp and hand over their hardâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;earned dollars. Certainly, this childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale could use more bang for the filmgoerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buck, relating an occasionally clever but often daft yarn about the efforts of the title character (again played by Emma Thompson) to help a struggling mother (Maggie Gyllenhaal, affecting a fine English accent) with her brood while her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off fighting in World War II. The children are all wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;cast, but this overdoses on the saccharine: Watching CGI critters do supposedly cute things isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly my cup of tea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; English Breakfast, English Afternoon, or otherwise.

Eat Pray Love With trips to Italy, India and Bali, Eat Pray Love easily qualifies as travel porn, and the first third of its title promises a fair amount of food porn as well. But whereas these labels often prove to be a superficial pictureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole reason for being, more complex movies use them as mere window dressing on a story thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already involving down to its core. Eat Pray Love, an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir of the same name, joins the aforementioned pictures in this distinguished class. This is a richly rewarding experience, following one womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey both across the globe and within herself. Julia Roberts delivers her strongest performance since Erin Brockovich a full decade ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Liz Gilbert, she brings to the forefront the doubts, frustrations and longings inherent in a woman who soon realizes that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not content with her marriage or with her surroundings and elects to set out on new adventures. Liz finds both spiritual and physical nourishment during her travels, but her lessons arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conveyed to us in the usual cookieâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;cutter platitudes; instead, the dialogue is frequently lyrical and lovely, never cheapening the thoughts or feelings being revealed.

news & opinion

of the spectrum are the rich Texas fat cats determined to keep them down, including a rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;wing Senator (Robert De Niro) who ruthlessly guns down illegal border crossers when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not busy hitting the campaign trail. Machete is coerced into taking out this slimy politico, but he quickly realizes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doubleâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;crossed, and he has to rely on two women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michelle Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiery revolutionary and Jessica Albaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immigration officer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to help him out. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beefy Steven Seagal or a topless Lindsay Lohan, viewers never quite know who or what Machete will throw at them next. Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting style is as playful as ever, but the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest pleasure rests with the casting of Danny Trejo. Usually spotted in fleeting roles as a menacing thug, Trejo fills the screen in his biggest part to date. Imposing and unconventional, he cuts through the image of the dashing action hero with exceptional ease.

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not givin’ you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1’s and 9’s in each box first, then move on to the 2’s and 8’s, and so on). psychosudoku@hotmail.com

ARIES

(March 21–April 19) Much of the reader mail I receive is friendly. But now and then I’ll get a message like this: “I’ve followed your horoscopes with pleasure for years. But I must say, you’ve really lost it lately. I can’t stand the garbage you’ve been slinging. What happened to you?” My response is to wonder why the person never wrote to me while he was happy with my efforts. It reminds me of a quote by Leon Uris: “How often in life it is that we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies.” It also reminds me of how tempting it is to focus on what repels us and scares us, shortchanging the dreams that excite us. Your assignment in the next four weeks, Aries, is to reward what you like and pursue what you want. For now, forget about what you don’t like and don’t want.

TAURUS

(April 20–May 20) The worst painting in history is hanging in San Francisco’s De Young Museum. It is “Noel and Bob” by Joan Brown. It’s so awkwardly garish and trivially monstrous that I can only conclude Brown possessed what might be termed “negative genius.” It’s not just that she had no talent. She actually had the opposite of brilliant talent. And yet I must confess I had a good time gazing at this anti–artistic botch. I thoroughly enjoyed laughing at it, and was quite pleased at the jokes my companions and I made about it. I suggest that in the coming week you try something similar: enjoying the entertainment value and educational merit of clumsy, ungainly, out–of–whack stuff. Doing so will sharpen your wits for the not–too–distant future, when you will come into proximity to a lot of understated beauty.

GEMINI

(May 21–June 20) Is my enjoyment of the Temptations’ song “My Girl” diminished by the fact that it was used in a commercial for Sun Maid Raisins? Does Jose Gonzalez’ tune “Heartbeats” evoke less feeling in me because I know it was used as the soundtrack for a Sony TV com-

mercial? Well, yeah, actually. The songs haven’t been totally wrecked for me, but neither do they make my heart soar anymore. Is there anything like that in your life, Gemini? -Believe it or not, you could restore it to its original state in the coming weeks.

CANCER

(June 21–July 22) For the moment, set aside your complaints about the transgressions of your original family. Cease your laments about the struggles you had to endure as a child. If you enjoy marinating yourself in those sorrows, you can always return to them at a later date. Here are the opportunities that are now available to you: to focus on the gifts that your early life blessed you with ... to acknowledge the resources bequeathed to you by the past ... to celebrate and access the primal power that has been yours to draw on since the day you were born.

LEO

(July 23–Aug. 22) Nose jobs are at an all–time high. Every year, American plastic surgeons cumulatively scrape away more than a mile of flesh and bone from their patients’ sniffers. I predict that in the coming weeks, the noses of the entire planet’s Leo tribe will shrink 10,000 times that amount, at least metaphorically. Why? Because I expect an epidemic of truth–telling to break out among you. There’s going to be a mass outbreak of the Pinocchio effect in reverse. Congratulations in advance for the candor you’re about to unleash. Be kind and diplomatic if you can, but insist on revealing the whole story.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23–Sept. 22) Many American towns with “burg” in their names used to end as “burgh.” In the late 19th century, a federal bureau demanded that they drop the silent final “h.” The people of Pittsburgh rose, up, however, and demanded the right to retain their precious “h.” Their wish was granted. I strongly advise you to be inspired by Pittsburgh’s adamant insistence on maintaining its identity, Virgo. Don’t let yourself

be truncated, abbreviated, or standardized.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23–Oct. 22) “Dear Rob A professional astrologer who read my chart told me that I have no willpower and that there is basically nothing I can do to change that. Any suggestions? I’m feeling helpless and passive at a time when I could really benefit from standing up for myself. – Listless Libra.” Dear Libra: What the supposedly professional astrologer told you is totally inaccurate. No one’s chart, ever, in the history of the world, indicates that they have no willpower. Astrology doesn’t speak in such stupid ways. Besides that, you and the Libran tribe will soon have a window of opportunity to bolster your willpower. The fun begins now and lasts until at least November 18. Get ready!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23–Nov. 21) “Is it a dragonfly or a maple leaf / That settles softly down upon the water?” asks Amy Lowell in “Autumn Haze,” a poem from her book *Pictures of the Floating World.* She doesn’t need to know the answer to her question; either would be fine. In fact, the luxuriance of the moment lies in its ambiguity. The lolling sweetness thrives because of her freedom from having to define its origins. She is simultaneously alert and relaxed; attentive to the scene in front of her but content to let it be whatever it is. I highly recommend that you enjoy extended excursions into this state of being several times in the coming week.

SAGITTARIUS

porch frame. I’d knocked it a bit off–kilter, but it was still intact. “That’s got to be an omen,” I thought as I stooped under it. An omen of what? A little voice in my head gave the answer: Sagittarius is ready to merge more directly with the great web of life.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22–Jan. 19) If you have been in tune with the cosmic rhythms these past ten months, you’ve been erecting bridges like a master builder. Your careful planning and guidance have conquered an abyss or two. Seemingly irreconcilable differences are no longer irreconcilable. Unlikely connections have bloomed. You’ve combined ingredients that no one thought could be blended. Between now and your birthday, your good work should reach a climax. It’s time to inspect your craftsmanship, polish any rough edges, and be sure your creations will last.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20–Feb. 18) I have no financial interest in the product known as Bacon Air Freshener (tinyurl.com/BaconAroma). When I urge you to consider buying it and placing it in your favorite environment, it’s not because I’ll get a kickback, but only because I suspect you’ll benefit from its specific aromatherapy effects. Your yearning for delicious fatness needs to be stimulated; certain key elements in your future require you to feel excited about thick, rich, tasty sensations. I think this is true even if you’re a vegetarian, although maybe you’d prefer having an avocado, coconut, or chocolate air freshener.

(Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

PISCES

This morning I had to interrupt my meditation on your horoscope. I’d studied the astrological configurations and said my usual prayer, asking for guidance to come up with the oracle you need most. But nothing had occurred to me yet, and it was time to leave the house for an appointment. As I closed the door behind me, I was still in deep thought about you. Then my face hit something gauzy, and I pulled back. Overnight, a spider had spun a huge web spanning the entire

In Germany, people can pay the weather service to have a storm or weather system named after them. A normal rainstorm costs just over $250. That’s the kind of event I’d want to give your name to in the coming week, Pisces –– not a full–on destructive tornado or hurricane, but rather a healthy squall that makes everything wet and clears the air. You need to release some tension in a dramatic way, but not in a melodramatic way.
