Daniel Hope: Personally I would love to see more dance at the festival. It’s a question of the right venue.

It’s important

Connect Savannah: You mention dance.

Many people say they want the Savannah Music Festival to feature more dance.

WE’RE SPREADING OUR WINGS

;I^I

Daniel Hope: We want to keep it, in a sense, small. Not “small” by any measurement, but in producing very high quality in a limited period of time. That's extremely important as far as I'm concerned. I just don't see it turning into some gigantic festival. I see it as cuttingedge, providing world-class music, dance, drama, and fine arts across the board.

Producing crossover that matters, crossover with quality -- not things thrown together. You need real quality to ignite the audience. And I’m happy with the way it's sort of slowly consolidating.

Daniel Hope: I’ve played in literally hundreds of festivals all over the world. I’ve seen some wonderful festivals, major festivals from Salzburg to Ravinia. And I have to say something’s completely unique in Savannah. To have such a mixture of styles at such a high level is pretty much unique. I’d like to see that transport, but it will take some time. Word of mouth is spreading and we’re getting feedback. I’d say the next five years is crucial to get that word out.

Savannah has become a very special place for me. When Rob contacted me, I didn't know much about Savannah apart from that sort of Gone With the Wind thing and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. But now I’ve spent a lot of time there and it’s taken on a very special place for me. I’m very happy to be a part of something in that location. It’s a very unique town, and you have something very special in this festival. ◗

Daniel Hope: It’s really grown from the last two years, in the kinds of things we've been doing and the risks we’ve been taking. You never know if it’s going to work or gel. There can be the most exciting results that stem from that. We’re always looking for fascinating projects to challenge the audience. I’m thrilled to see the reaction from Savannah audiences, how open they are, and how willing to listen to new styles.

We’ve got a long way to go. But it’s amazing what’s been accomplished so far, in the profile of the festival. So many people all over the world are starting to write about it and talk about it. Now we’re at a point of seeing what are the things that work and what are the things we'd like to do better. But overall I’d have to say that participating in the festival is as exciting as the first time, and my intentions are to keep doing it.

to get people out and into venues they wouldn’t necessarily associate with the concept. All of that helps the festival, and I’d love to see dance come in a big way.

It’s a fundamental part of art and music.

Then of course, it’s always about planning and how many openings we have and the budget and so forth. Luckily, that’s not my department -- it’s Rob’s headache (laughs). I get to just work on the creative side.

So I came in to do concerts in 2004 as more of an artist-in-residence. It was a trial for me, and a trial for the audience to see how we got on with each other. It was an unusual way to start.

With “An Audience With Beethoven,” for example, we wrote the script for that, and there was a cancellation. Mia Farrow was able to get here on short notice. That says a lot about this festival -- that we were able to pull off that sort of spontaneous coming-together of two different worlds.

That first year I did a number of concerts in that role as artist-in-residence.

And in, 2005 Rob asked me to take on more formal role.

A FEW WEEKS BACK, the Del McCoury Band picked up the Grammy award for Best Bluegrass Album of 2006.

Their winning effort, The Company We Keep, is the second they’ve released on their own McCoury Music label. Longtime fans of this Nashville-based outfit –which prominently features Del’s own sons Ronnie (on mandolin) and Rob (on banjo and guitar)– have hailed the disc as one of their finest albums yet.

A true anomaly in the entertainment business, The Del McCoury Band has risen among the ranks of traditional country artists to achieve something singular and impressive. After decades of diligent roadwork -- and a storied history that saw Del playing guitar and singing lead in the early ‘60s with no less than the father of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, in the past few years, McCoury and his band have emerged as one of the most popular and critically adored roots music combos in the world.

One of the genre’s only true crossover success stories, they’ve found themselves welcome at all manner of venues and events. From major traditional bluegrass festivals peopled with diehard purists, to hippie-fied jamband summits, to nightclubs more known for hosting hard rock acts than suit-and-tied gentlemen holding fiddles and mandolins, singing anachronistic tunes about love, loss and the Lord.

What’s even more amazing is that they’ve won this acceptance from such diverse crowds without catering to the whims of the market.

Regardless of their surroundings, they carry themselves with a playful air that only serves to enhance their

9 Del McCoury: The way we do it now, it leaves more time for all of us to be at home with our families. A lot of people, they’d just as soon stay out there, and a at one point, I’m sure I’d have been right there with ‘em! (laughs) There’s a time when I might have been satisfied to be out all the time, but now I’d just as soon be home as not.

Connect Savannah: When was that?

Del McCoury: Oh, that was probably 20 years ago and even before that. See, I’m 67 now. When I was young, I played with Bill Monroe, and he was on the road a lot. That wasn’t a problem for me, because I loved to play music. I loved it so much I probably would’ve played it 36 hours a day! (laughs) But now I find that you have to get away from it every now and then to feel refreshed. I like that change. It causes me to work hard and I like a challenge.

Del McCoury: It goes both ways. It’s the craziest thing! I think I was more physically able with my voice and my guitar playing when I was 25. But then again, I wasn’t nearly as good at knowing how to entertain people. I’m smarter now. You get educated at how to make people enjoy themselves, and you find out it’s not singing and playing. It’s talking to the people. Communicating with them. If you do requests, you’re gonna have to talk to ‘em, and you’ll find out what they really want. Sometimes you’ll get 600 requests at once! (laughs) That’s what I’ve learned through the years.

Somebody one time asked Curly Seckler –who was the tenor singer with Flat & Scruggs– when did you guys have time to rehearse? Because in their early days, they were travellin’ around and playin’ live on TV stations back when that was still brand-new. They’d be in Johnson City, Tn., one night and Knoxville the next. And Curly said, well,

Connect Savannah: So how are things going with the new label? I know that you’ve been pretty self-sufficient for a while, but this is a change for the band.

Del McCoury: It is. We just finished out first-ever gospel record. Our second record on our own label just won a Grammy, so I’d say things are goin’ very well. Plus, the way we’ve set all this up, we’ll own the rights to those masters, and eventually so will all our kids. If we hadn’t done this, somebody else would continued on page 10

Del McCoury: I like variety. On stage we never play the same show twice in a row.

We don’t even go by a setlist. I might have a few numbers that work real well for introducin’ the bandmembers and highlighting something they do, but after that, you know, more often than not it’s request time. I’m glad to take requests as long as it’s something I’ve actually recorded! (laughs) I’m awful glad folks don’t ask me to play somebody else’s show! Now, sometimes we’ll play a place and there will be a lot of folks there who’ve literally never seen live bluegrass.

We’re their introduction to it. And inevitably, one of them will want to hear

Connect Savannah: Is playing concerts easier or harder at your age?

we rehearsed on stage! It’s sink or swim when you do that. (laughs) Lester Flatt would just start off a song without any warning, and they’d have to jump into whatever he was doing and make it work without letting the audience know they were doin’ it off the top of their heads. (laughs) It’s like that with us in a way. We rehearse mostly when we’re gettin’ ready to do a record. We get it all down before we ever go into the studio. But on the road, the only real rehearsal we get is at soundcheck when nobody’s around and we’re settin’ up microphones. You have to keep up with it, or you’ll lose it.

Especially at my age. If I didn’t play on a regular basis, or took a long break from the guitar, I’d definitely lose my chops, regardless of how long I’ve been at this.

Del McCoury: Yeah, but I guess you could say it’s a challenge everytime you get up on the stage, no matter what kind of music you’re doin’. Speaking of a challenge, I’ve been in the studio lately with Vince Gill. And he’s doin’ four records at once! All different styles, and with different people playin’ on each one! (laughs) He asked me to come in and sing tenor with him, and you wanna talk

Connect Savannah: In one of the songs on the new CD, you sing “I played in churches, fairs and dive bars.� Why do you think you’ve been welcomed into so many different situations?

“Rocky Top.� (laughs) It’s the only bluegrass song they know the name of! (laughs) But we usually go ahead and do it, because I know it’ll make them happy.

For the most part, these days we get a lot of kids comin’ out, and you’d be amazed, but they know my records from 30 years ago! I can’t believe it when they request some of this old stuff.

Connect Savannah: Don’t all pro bluegrass guys have to love a challenge?

about a challenge? Buddy, he’ll put you right up there! (laughs) You’re in the sky all the time, because he sings so high anyway. I was in the booth and doin’ just a line or two at a time because I went in cold, not knowin’ any of the songs. He told me that he lives to be challenged.

My boys from the band did the songs with him about two weeks ago, and when I was through with my parts I wouldn’t leave right away. I’d stick around to hang out and watch, and he’d start doing something completely different. He’d just switch gears like that! It was wild.

Connect Savannah: It’s too early to be predicting what the next generation of McCoury's will choose for a career -- but would you be surprised to hear that some of your grandkids on the back of this album cover eventually took up bluegrass or roots music as their main gig?

Del McCoury: Probably they will! (laughs) Just bein’ around all this music influences ‘em, I guess. It’s funny. When my sons were small, I had a band, and everyone in my band was in their thirties.

I never thought too much about my boys playing music for a career, and then I turned around one day and they were on stage with me! (laughs) They’re great musicians, and I could never replace them.

Connect Savannah: This CD contains your first attempts at co-writing songs.

How did that come about, and why had you never done such a thing before?

Del McCoury: I’ll tell you what. Up until now, I wrote songs by myself. The first one was in ‘66, or close to it. I kinda thought of it as a private thing – writing a song, you know? I don’t know why, but I

did. It just never occurred to me to do it with someone. Then my manager said there must be two million songwriters in this town. He’d said most of ‘em would love to write with me. I was not interested. Then Stan said, well, why don’t we find someone you already know. Now, I’d known Harley Allen since he was a kid. I wrote with him two different times, and I liked it! Then I started writing with all kinds of people. (laughs)

Connect Savannah: Besides the gospel record, what's next for you and the band? Do you still have that CD of old bluegrass standards in the can?

Del McCoury: I still have all that stuff. (laughs) We never did put it out. I think we cut almost 20 songs. You know, back when I first started, I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, close to Baltimore. So, of course a lot of the work we did was in bars in Baltimore. That’s a rough seaport town, and there’s some rough places there. Boy, I wouldn’t go in some of those places today for a million dollars! (laughs) But back then, you had to, and I sure saw some stuff that I’ll never forget. We were like most amateur bands in that we didn’t have a lot of our own material. We had to play all the big guys’ songs – like Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe. A lot of those tunes I knew so well, that I thought I should record that stuff before

I got too old to do ‘em justice. It was just a collection of old songs that I heard a lot. Mainly Bill Monroe. Of course, I worked with him as his lead singer.

Connect Savannah: For a festival show like this one –where the artists on the roster include everyone from classical pianists to African dancers– do you craft a set that's at all different from something you'd do at a festival specifically geared to bluegrass or jam band music?

Del McCoury: Naw. We don’t change a thing, man. (laughs) We’ll try to play some of our newest stuff, but once I get the band all introduced, I tell the crowd that before too long we’ll start taking requests. Usually everybody starts hollerin’ out songs right away! (laughs) I played in California somewhere, and this guy in the front was insisting on having me to sing this song I’d done like 20 or 30 years ago, and he wouldn’t let up! After him hollerin’ for this thing for about a half an hour, I said, okay, now look here. I’m gonna do my very best to sing this old song, but I have not even thought of it in years, and there’s no guarantees that it’ll be any good! (laughs) So, whoever kicked it off did it just perfect, and we sang a verse and a chorus, and I gotta say that I was really hittin’ it. I surprised myself! (laughs) Then we come to the second verse, and

buddy, I had no earthly idea! We just kept vampin’ and playin’ and finally I asked him if he knew the words well enough to give me a hint on how it went.

And man, he started singin’ at the top of his lungs! He sang it in the right key, and he stood there and showed a lot of nerve.

Connect Savannah: So he actually wound up doing a duet with you?

Del McCoury: I guess he did! (laughs) See, I think that’s how a live show should be. It should have mistakes in it. It can’t be perfect like a record. I learned a long, long time ago that you should just face that reality right off the bat. It won’t be perfect. A lot of guys want their backup fellows to play all the breaks just like they are on the records. Man, that’s like tying a good player’s hands behind his back! Nobody feels the exact same way on two different days, so how are they supposed to play a song the same way? ◗

The Del McCoury Band plays Trustees Theater at 8 p.m., Saturday, March 25 as part of the 2006 Savannah Music Festival’s “Music Of The American South” Series. Tickets are available at www.savannahmusicfestival.org, or at the Trustees Theater Box Office. Call 525-5050.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go get a glass of wine,â&#x20AC;? I said at the airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A glass?â&#x20AC;? my friend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How about a bottle? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time.â&#x20AC;?

That night we went to an area called Zona Rose where putting money into the parking meters is optional (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why have meters when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much free parking?â&#x20AC;? the sign read. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because a portion of the meter proceeds goes toward Change for Charity.â&#x20AC;? ) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing like that in New Orleans,â&#x20AC;? my friend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nor Savannah,â&#x20AC;? I added.

In the next few days we explored Westport, a refurbished and artsy historic district near downtown; stopped to read bronze plaques for Thomas Hart Benton and Lewis and Clark; drove along the railroad tracks that took Truman Capote and Harper Lee to Leavenworth Prison for Capoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s In Cold Blood, and saw from the highway the huge monolith of a building; ate a great barbecue brisket sandwich; explored the National Silk Art Museum in Weston, a funky little nearby town, where we stopped to read about an 1847 hotel that was lodging for river captains and wagon masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing like that in New Orleans,â&#x20AC;? my friend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nor Savannah,â&#x20AC;? I added.

In Weston, we saw a water meter that read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made in India,â&#x20AC;? a first for both of us. From people we met we heard about George Brett and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;85 Royals, the last local team to win the World Series; the big St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Parade in Kansas City and St. Louis (who knew?), the new casinos (theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re everywhere), the dying GM plant (theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re everywhere, too), the huge presence and generosity of Hallmark Cards.

We saw a great show at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, saw work on the striking glass-walled pavilions of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, then walked through the nearby Kansas City Art School, where a very friendly ceramics student showed us a huge bread mixer rescued from a World War II ship that the school uses to mix clay.

Every morning I read the Kansas City Star, one of the best newspapers Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come across in a long time.

On the way to the airport, my friend slipped in a CD and we listened to Irma Thomas, the Soul Queen of New Orleans, sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time is On My Side.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She sang at my high school prom at West Jefferson High School,â&#x20AC;? my friend said, keeping her eyes straight ahead, stoic and in control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

But that was then. And this is now.

And right now, she allowed on the phone the other night -- after the isolated reality has had a chance to set in -- sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just as soon be out on Bourbon Street doing a little Mardi Gras Mambo. â&#x2014;&#x2014;

THIS WEEK THE phone lines are buzzing. The tears are flowing, the stories gushing.

Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulled out their Zydeco tunes, their Cajun music, their Clifton Chenier and Fats Domino, their Wild Magnolias and Professor Longhair.

Their TV sets are on, too. Everyone knows when the next interview, the next feature, the next special is scheduled.

Earlier this week, for the evacuees, the displaced, the refugees, it was all about Mardi Gras.

And how they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there -- either to complain about the tourists, to serve the tourists, to get an extra key made for guests, to stock up on food and drink for guests, to explain the king cake to the guests, to meander out along the parade line to catch a glimpse of a float or two, to explain the floats, at least once.

Because this year not everyone can be in New Orleans. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange.

Earlier this month, between trips, I stopped in Kansas City to see a good friend who was born and bred in the Crescent City. For the past few years sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken care of her mother, who has some form of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

So when Katrina hit, they got the hell out of Dodge. First, like so many others, they stayed with relatives. For them that meant Lafayette, La. Then, when they got their bearings, they headed north to Kansas City, where my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister lives. From a settled existence with old friends down the street who my friend trusted, reliable caretakers who spoke the particular and peculiar New Orleans language, familiar landmarks in restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, they were thrust into the world, into the diaspora.

For my friend and her mother that meant freezing temperatures, rolling prairies, signs pointing to tornado shelters, uncertainty about where to go next. This week it meant being away from New Orleans and seeing the last of the unemployment checks.

And these are the lucky ones. They have a nice house and generous relatives. Kansas City is nice. The Midwest is nice. The people are nice.

Before long they established a routine, important for someone with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. My friend found a day-care facility, and though her mother -- who used to waitress at a New Orleans landmark called the Buck Forty-Nine -calls it â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to work,â&#x20AC;? she complies.

Most of the time.

For my visit, my friend found a caretaker through a friend of a friend. I was her second visitor in five months. Kansas City really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the way to much.

In full bloom Get tickets now for the Savannah Garden & Antiques Exposition THERE’S A NEW ADDITION -- or is it an old addition? -- to the Savannah Garden Exposition.

It’s now the Savannah Garden & Antiques Exposition.

Savannah’s secret gardens, lush parks and squares intrigue visitors and residents alike with their ever-changing colors and scents.

Now, you can learn the secrets of the city’s master gardeners.

The addition of antiques isn’t the only change you’ll see. The event has been expanded from two to three full days, and a jazz brunch has been added.

Funds raised by the exposition benefit the Isaiah Davenport House Museum and the Historic Savannah Foundation.

“It is this area’s premier gardening event,” says Jamie Credle, director of the Isaiah Davenport House Museum, and the expo’s volunteer coordinator.

Several demonstrations will be offered, including How to Build a Window Box, with Christine Pullen, co-host of Bushwhacked on Turner South.

There will be competitions, including the Floral Competition and the Window Box Competition. In the Exhibition Garden Competition, gardeners will interpret a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson -- “Earth laughs in flowers,” “from Hamatreya.

One of the most popular attractions is the Open Air Marketplace, where vendors sell items as diverse as rare and collectible plants, garden ornaments, birdhouses and garden furniture.

There will be children’s activities, including horticultural-themed crafts and projects they can take home. “We have world-class speakers,” Credle says.

Up first is P. Allen Smith, who will speak Friday at 11 a.m. in the Roundhouse Railroad Museum’s Blacksmith Shop. A professional garden designer and Certified Fellow of the Royal Horticulture Society, he has built a television, publishing and Internet franchise.

The host of P. Allen Smith’s Garden Home on PBS and also has a nationally syndicated TV series, P. Allen Smith’s Gardens, Smith frequently can be seen on the CBS Early Show, NBC’s Today Show and CNN’s Open House. He will present 5 Things You Should Know About Color for the Garden, based on his fourth

“The foundation has been around since 1955,” McDonald says. “We operate a revolving fund to save endangered historic buildings. The proceeds go to that.”

“The money allows us to do something special we couldn’t normally do within the course of the year,” Credle says.

“We will earmark it for some wonderful project.”

Want to serve as a volunteer? Credle is searching for a variety of volunteers, Clockwise from top including parking assistant, left: Susan Mason, P. concession stand worker, Allen Smith, Mary K. greeter and more.

Andrews Call Credle at 236-8097 or send e-mail to jcredle@savbusiness.net. “It takes about 200 volunteers to do this,” she says.

“The event is held rain or shine,” Credle says. “We keep our fingers crossed. One year, we had some wind, but no rain. We have a covered area so all shopping can go on.” ◗

The Jazz Brunch will be held Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon. Dine from a Southern-style brunch buffet while listening to jazz musicians from the Savannah Music Festival.

The expo is one of three fundraisers that benefit the Historic Savannah Foundation. “We have two more events that raise money for us,” says Mark McDonald, executive director of the Historic Savannah Foundation.

News of the Weird

Capitalism Gone Awry Obsessed executives have always taken business home at night, but increasingly they take it into the bathroom, with laptop computers, highspeed connections, flat-panel televisions and speaker phones, according to a February Wall Street Journal report. (Said one, “I’m beside myself when I can’t get my emails.”) However, there are problems, e.g., “sound-chamber” sound (the hollow voice created by typical bathroom acoustics usually gives away one’s location) and the “BlackBerry dunk” (with one Houston repair shop saying it gets a half-dozen jobs a day of portable devices accidentally dropped into the sink or tub, “or worse”).

Sacred Traditions (1) Mutaa, the 1,400-year-old Islamic tradition of “temporary” marriage (typically, for one-night stands or for financial reasons), has proliferated in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein, embraced by Shiites even though condemned by Sunnis, according to a January Los Angeles Times dispatch. (2) Under sharia law, a Muslim husband can end a marriage at will, but apparently there are formalities. In Kuala Lumpur in January, a judge said the declaration had to be made in court and thus fined a Malaysian lawmaker the equivalent of about $150 after he tried to declare divorce first by text-messaging his wife and then by voicemail.

World-Class Multitasking Police arrested David Kennedy, 33, in January near Murfreesboro, Tenn., after he accidentally ran other drivers off the road, perhaps from being distracted by the open pornographic magazines that were in his front seat. And on a January afternoon, motorist Stephen Nielsen, 38, was stopped and finally awakened by Suffolk County, N.Y., police, who saw him driving 40 mph on the Long Island Expressway with eyes closed and mouth agape.

Least Competent People -- A familiar definition of “insanity” (attributed to Albert Einstein) is doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting different results. Donald E. Neff, 38, of Pleasant Township, Ohio, launched his 27-foot boat in the Portage River to access Lake Erie on Nov. 12, but it ran aground, and Neff required a Coast Guard rescue. Despite warnings to wait for higher tide, Neff got another boat the next day and set out again. He of course ran the second boat aground and had to be re-rescued. Two days later, he persuaded a friend to take him out, but naturally the friend’s boat ran aground, requiring the Coast Guard once again.

Officials were contemplating as many as seven criminal charges against Neff.

On Super Bowl Sunday, deputies in Sheridan, Colo., found a car with its windows blown out, its doors bulging outward and the roof bent upward about a foot. The license plate led to Norman Frey, 46, who admitted that he had been on his way to a football party with a balloon filled with acetylene, which he planned to explode in celebration.

However, the balloon ignited, perhaps by static electricity from the back seat, and Frey and a companion suffered shrapnel wounds.

How Researchers Spend Their Time (1) Documenting menopause in gorillas (at Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo, to show that not just humans experience menopause) (December).

(1) In December, a self-employed market analyst in Chimacum, Wash., requested from the IRS a copy of the 2003 Form 1040 and instructions, so he could revise an old tax return, and three weeks later received instead two shipments totaling 48,000 copies of 2005 Form 1040 and instructions. (2) Tax officials in Valparaiso, Ind., admitted in February that they mistakenly valued one house at $400 million (though its previous assessment was $121,900), and even though they recomputed the owner’s bill, they failed to erase from the city budget the $8 million in tax revenue they were expecting from the property, including $3 million that they had already disbursed.

his lawyer asked for sympathy. Dearman had been surprised mid-burglary by his victims, who were all seniors who proceeded to beat Dearman up and hog-tie him (a photo of which made the newspapers). Thus, the lawyer said, Dearman had become a “laughingstock” among prisoners and would “never be able to hold his head up in criminal company again.” (2) In January, Alexis du Pont de Bie Sr., 62, who grew up in a du Pont family mansion and inherited $7 million, filed a lawsuit in New York City accusing his estate’s trustees of mismanagement that has reduced his wealth to $2 million and necessitated a cut in his allowance to $3,000 a month, making him, he said, “literally destitute and homeless.”

the administration of Prime Minister Thatcher appeared seriously concerned that poachers posed a threat to the Loch Ness monster (if and when it revealed itself). (Also in those files, as reported in News of the Weird in 2004, was a letter from Swedish officials seeking advice from the Nessie-experienced British on protecting Sweden’s own underwater Lake Storsjo monster.)

At Fort Polk, La., the Pentagon has created elaborate, Hollywood-like sets of buildings and homes but representing village scenes in Iraq and Afghanistan under realistic conditions of war, to train soldiers preparing for deployment.

Among the fine details (according to a January Harper’s magazine report): hiring amputees and using fake blood to simulate horrific injuries; piping in the scent of vomit and other emblems of battlefield chaos; bringing in U.S.-residing Iraqi natives to heckle soldiers in Arabic; conducting press briefings before hostile reporters; and at one venue, fighting in modern city blocks of buildings, presumably for guerilla wars of the future.

In January, a police SWAT officer in Fairfax, Va., accidentally shot and killed an unarmed optometrist on whom the swarming team was serving an arrest warrant for suspicion of gambling. (In April 2005, a SWAT team arrested 24 community poker players in Palmer Lake, Colo., but at least there were no casualties. In October 1998, a passive but startled security guard was killed by a SWAT team moving in on a club in Virginia Beach, Va., suspected of housing gambling.)

Tough Love: (1) Australia’s AttorneyGeneral, Philip Ruddock, announced in December that terrorist suspects being held under house arrest would routinely be sent to anger management classes, to help them address their alienation. (2) In December, a 75-unit apartment house opened in Seattle, funded by grants from the local, state and federal governments, as free housing for what the city considers its most incorrigible drunks, on the theory that keeping an eye on them would be less costly than leaving them free to cause mischief and overuse emergency rooms.

from recent Savannah/Chatham Police incident reports

ON FEB. 23, OFFICERS were dispatched to 40th Street and MLK Jr. Blvd. on the report of a suspicious vehicle at a business.

Upon the officers’ arrival a grey Infiniti fled from the scene.

Officers followed the vehicle until it reached the end of Barrington Street. The suspect, identified as Jerome Zenus Hill Jr., 25, got out of his vehicle. Hill pointed a gun at Officer Clifford Huggins and Officer James Neff. Huggins fired two shots, striking Hill at least once. Hill was transported to Memorial Health where he remains in serious but stable condition as we go to press.

Inside Hill’s vehicle, officers identified a female who said Hill was sexually assaulting her. She was transported to Candler Hospital. Hill will be charged with Aggravated Sodomy and Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer upon his release from the hospital. In accordance with department policy, Huggins has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of investigations.

• An officer was called to an Abercorn street pharmacy in reference to an auto theft that had just occurred. The victim told the officer that his car had been taken from him at gunpoint. He said the suspect approached him from behind as he approached his car to open the door and demanded his car keys. When the victim turned around, the suspect had a black revolver pointed at him. He said he threw the keys at the suspect and ran back into the pharmacy. The suspect got into the car and accelerated west toward Windsor Forest. He was followed by a small four-door vehicle that was occupied by three other men, who apparently were accomplices. The victim told police he had $380 cash inside the car, as well as some clothing and his driver’s license. A lookout was broadcast for the vehicle.

• A woman said her son was the victim of a theft at a Montgomery Cross Road convenience store. She told police the boy had his Sony PSP in his pocket when he went in the store. He said when he left, he realized the PSP was missing. He said he recognized the man who was standing in line behind him, and said he believed the man had taken the PSP. The woman took her son to a pawn shop at White Bluff Road, and learned that the system had just been pawned by the suspect the boy had identified, so she called police. The officer checked the item

Jerome Hill

and matched the serial number. Also, the boy had his nickname listed in the unit’s menu. The pawn shop owner says he must keep the item, but said he will work with the detective on the case. The woman said she was not sure she would prosecute.

• An officer responded to Dean Forest Road and Morgan Industrial Boulevard in reference to a possible DUI. Another officer said he had observed a vehicle turn onto the boulevard, and stopped the vehicle when it came back out on Dean Forest Road. He said when he spoke with the driver, he detected an odor of alcohol. The officer asked the driver to step out of her vehicle. He asked where she was going and she replied, “Taking my friend home. She lives on Dean Forest Road.” The officer then asked how the woman got turned around, and she said, “I was talking with my sister on my cell phone. You can check my cell phone. I was talking to my sister.” While speaking to the woman, the officer detected the odor of alcohol. He asked how much she had to drink. “I’ve had......we were at (a bar and grill), we had dinner and I had three drinks,” she replied. The officer asked how long it had been since the woman had something to drink, and she said, “We left (the bar), well, we left (the bar) and come this way.” The officer then asked what kind of drinks the woman had, and she replied, “Crown and Seven.” He asked how big the drinks were, and she said, “Six, eight ounces. They were in plastic cups. Three of them.” The woman then agreed to submit to standardized field sobriety tests. She failed the tests and was arrested and charged with DUI. ◗

Ice-Free Winter Unusually warm weather this winter across the northeastern United States and eastern Canada has left the Great Lakes mostly free of ice for the first time in living memory. The open waters have been disastrous for the icefishing industry in the region and have allowed ferries to operate even during the coldest month of January. Some fishing guides tried to use boats for their customers, but high winds clouded the waters, preventing fish from seeing the lures. A cold wave that spread across the Great Lakes region in mid-February promoted the formation of ice near shore, but it is unlikely that an extensive ice sheet will form over the bodies of water this season.

Drought Casualties The ongoing severe drought across much of East Africa has killed tens of thousands of animals, and experts warn it will “decimate” livestock during the next few months. The British-based Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad said further deaths of cattle, camels and donkeys across Kenya and Somalia are likely to add to drought-related human fatalities and suffering. Parched conditions are also disrupting the annual migrations of wildebeests and zebras in Kenya and neighboring Tanzania. The Kenya Wildlife Service said the drought has so far killed at least 60 hippopotamuses in the country’s wildlife sanctuaries.

Exceptionally wet weather across South Africa in recent months is responsible for the unprecedented numbers of white butterflies that have delighted residents of Johannesburg during February, according to wildlife experts. Zoologist Graham Alexander said wet conditions promoted plant growth, providing a home for more caterpillars. They eventually turned into millions of Belenois aurota, commonly known as “brown-veined white” butterflies. While the species is common across southern Africa, older residents of the city say they have never before seen them in such great numbers. Large migrations of Belenois aurota take place during the rainy season, with the winged insects flying up the east coast of Africa. ◗

Earthquakes

03.01.06

A massive landslide that swallowed an entire farming village on the central Philippine island of Leyte buried an estimated 1,000 people alive. Most of the St. Bernard town’s survivors are now widowers because the majority of women were at home, tending children while their husbands worked in fields away from the disaster site. An international relief team made a desperate attempt to find survivors beneath the 100-foot layer of muck that blanketed the village after a nearby hillside collapsed. Some relief officials blamed illegal logging for weakening the hillside.

Bill Allred

Military Appreciation Concert

Coming from a long line of musicians centered around the New Orleans area (his father was a pianist and banjoist who played on many of the steamboats of the famed “Strickfus Line” which travelled the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers), this bandleader and trombonist got his first big break in 1971 when he was chosen to be one of the original 200 staff musicians at Walt Disney World out of over 2500 applicants.

Later Bill would organize and lead the popular Goodtime Jazz Band at the Sunshine State’s famed Rosie O’Grady’s, and remain in that position for over 15 years. he now divides his time between his work at Disney (he returned to their fold in 1991) and his tours and recording sessions which take him far and wide across the USA and Europe.

Bill has gigged with everyone from Al Hirt to Dizzy Gillespie and from Mel Tormé to Zoot Sims. While not in possession of as big a name as some of the acts they occasionally attract, the management of this upscale supper club say they expect this engagement to be one of their most entertaining in some time, and based on Allred’s albums and resumé, they may be right.

Fri. - Sat., 7:30 pm, The Jazz Corner (Hilton Head).

This free,all-ages waterfront event features three acts, at least two of which will likely keep the crowd well-engaged.

Liquid Ginger plays slick, well-constructed modern rock that’s aimed squarely at the Top 40 set. They have all the parts required to craft radio-ready, über-catchy songs firmly in place: crunchy electric guitars, tasteful keyboard pads, a solid rhythm section, and lyrical subject matter that’s relatively easy for most anyone to relate to.

Hazzard County – the full, electric country-rock band led by Courtenay Brothers guitarist and vocalist Jason Courtenay – also have the right ingredients for local and regional fame. His bandmates are seasoned musicians who have paid their dues for years in many area roadhouse bands.

The only disappointing wild card in this lineup is the purported headliner, Lee Greenwood. An adequate singer at best, and one of the lowest-rent celebrities ever to milk a novelty tune (“God Bless the U.S.A.”), one can only wish that the military -- and those who support the military -- would quit hauling this rather sad figure out at one benefit or “thank you concert” after another.

Perpetually touring behind his album Lee Greenwood’s Greatest HIT, he often looks as bored to be performing as most of us surely are to see him do so. I can

only assume there’s a sweet paycheck attached to these shows that somehow keeps him from setting his controls for the heart of the sun.

Note to all organizers of such events: If a free show by Lee Greenwood is the best way you can think of to thank the troops, maybe you should call a few of them and ask what kind of music they actually listen to.

Sun., 4 p.m., River Street (East End).

First Friday For Folk This family-oriented, coffeehouse-style acoustic showcase features master fingerpicking guitarist (and Chet Atkins acolyte) Sam Pacetti from St. Augustine, Fl., Michael Johnathon Oxford, Ga.’s David Leinweber (see Music Menu), and Lexington, Ky’s singer/songwriter Michael Johnathon.

Johnathon is perhaps best known as the organizer and host of the syndicated public radio show (and internet video broadcast) WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour, which is heard over 400 stations in the U.S. and 31 other countries. A celebrated author as well, he’ll be joined for this rare local appearance by mandolinist Scott Napier of the FolkBoy Orchestra.

Free to ALL-AGES with a suggested $2 donation to the Savannah Folk Music Society. Fri., 7:30 pm, Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church (429 Abercorn St.).

Divine Magees CD Release This rescheduled date find this Asheville-based female acoustic duo of guitar and fiddle celebrating their latest beguiling collection of original material, Love Me Like The Roses, voted by the influential public radio station WNCW as one of the Top 100 releases of 2005.

Think a punk-edged version of the Indigo Girls, and you’ll come close to the vibe of this elegant, promising duo.

Sat., 8 pm, The Sentient Bean.

Genital Mousetrap Circus A reunion gig from this long-disbanded local metalcore group (whose sound also touched on ska, pop, and emo). They broke up in 2003, with members resurfacing in such notable groups as Knee Deep And Drowning, Gravy and Reflux. Though they have no plans to make this a full-time gig again, they are shooting this show for a possible live concert DVD, and are already writing material for a new studio effort.

Baxley extreme metal madmen Malefactor open, along with Savannah’s instrumental post-math rock trio i am not a little bus. ◗ Fri., 10 pm, The Jinx.

THE PINK PANTHER ✰1/2 Suffering from a particularly misguided delusion of grandeur, Steve Martin has

elected to co-write and star in a new version of The Pink Panther. But why stop there? While he’s busy plundering the cemetery of iconic movie roles, he might as well try his hand at another Casablanca or a new Citizen Kane. It would only be a slightly less ludicrous endeavor. The original 1964 film only features Inspector Clouseau in a supporting role. But it immediately became obvious -- to series creator Blake Edwards and to viewers -- that the real prize here was the performance by Peter Sellers as the bumbling police inspector.

But this new Panther is as clumsy as its leading figure. The basic story is prime material for this sort of outing -- a French soccer coach (an unbilled Jason Statham) is murdered during a championship game, and Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline, too restrained to provide the original series’ Herbert Lom with any serious competition) decides to put a moron in charge of the investigation so that he may quietly nab the culprit himself. Dreyfus settles on provincial policeman Clouseau, not aware that this imbecilic officer will embarrass him in ways he never dreamed possible. For the most part, the gags dreamed up by Martin and co-writers Len Blum and Michael Saltzman aren’t particularly fresh, mildly amusing bits are repeated until they lose every ounce of appeal, and the efforts to cater to modern audiences (a pop performance by co-star Beyonce Knowles, the unsettling image of Clouseau preparing to take Viagra) are ill-conceived.

Once again, the actor plays an upstanding guy who must save his family from dangerous foreigners, an angle previously tapped in Air Force One and Patriot Games (to name but two). In this case, he’s Jack Stanfield, a bank executive responsible for creating the computer programs that prevent the facility from ever getting hacked.

The twinkle of mischievousness and sprinkle of levity that he brought to many of his most memorable films -- even the dramas like The Fugitive and Witness -- are conspicuously missing here, replaced by a cranky fatigue that’s difficult to watch and impossible to enjoy.

FREEDOMLAND ✰✰✰

An adaptation of Richard Price's novel that itself owes a debt to the real-life Susan Smith incident, Freedomland is a forceful drama that would be compelling enough without all the needless fuss

When exactly did one of cinema's most accomplished actresses turn into one of its most boring? Except for her atypical (and smashing) performance in Iris, Judi Dench has been delivering the exact same performance dating back to 1997's Mrs. Brown and running through last fall's Pride & Prejudice (a mercifully small role) -- that of the frosty, tart-tongued Englishwoman who's clearly smarter than everyone else in the room. She's at it again in Mrs. Henderson Presents, a predictable bit of piffle that follows the "quirky English film" template (see also: Calendar Girls, The Full Monty, Waking Ned Devine, etc.) as precisely as, say, Wolf Creek aped the slasher film formula or Hitch adhered to the romantic comedy blueprint. Based on a true story, this finds Dench cast as a wealthy widow who elects to invest in a dilapidated theater in 1930s London. Along with her gently combative partner (Bob Hoskins, faring the best), she decides to turn the Windmill Theater into a showcase for vaudeville revues staged with naked continued on page 28

Parents taking their kids to catch this at a matinee showing should reasonably be expecting a dog day afternoon; instead, those perky creatures known as actors keep getting in the way of total enjoyment. Based on a Japanese film that was itself inspired by a true story, Eight Below relates the tale of a scientific expedition in Antarctica and what happens when punishing weather forces its members to leave their eight sled dogs behind. As the animals spend months coping with exhaustion, starvation and a particularly nasty leopard seal, expedition guide Jerry Shephard (Paul Walker) desperately tries to find a way to rescue them. The dogs are gorgeous and wonderfully expressive (no creepy Snow Dogs-style anthropomorphizing here, thank God), and as long as director Frank Marshall and debuting scripter Dave DiGilio focus on their part of the story, the movie succeeds in the grand tradition of past Disney live-action adventures. But the picture runs an unpardonable two hours (can little kids’ bladders hold out that long?), and its length is felt in the countless scenes centering on Jerry: his romance with a pilot (Moon Bloodgood), his bantering with a co-worker (Jason Biggs, heavy on the shtick) and his pity parties as he agonizes over the potential loss of his dogs (watching Walker try to convey brooding introspection and angst is never a pretty sight). At 95 minutes, this would have been a winner; maybe the DVD will include a function that will allow viewers to edit out the humans and leave only the remarkable canines.

EIGHT BELOW ✰✰1/2

made by director Joe Roth. Two hardhitting lead performances combine with some salient points about racial tensions to produce a powderkeg of a movie, a far cry from the insipid drivel usually tossed out by studios at this time of year. Samuel L. Jackson stars as Lorenzo Council, a detective assigned to question a woman (Julianne Moore) who claims a black man from the projects stole her car while her young son was sleeping in the back seat. The inner-city locals are outraged at the media attention the story has brought to their neighborhood -- where were all the cameras when their own kids were in danger? -- and it's all that Lorenzo can do to keep the police and the citizens from violently clashing. But with the case continuing to baffle him, he turns to a missing-children activist (Edie Falco) to help him determine what really happened to the distraught mom's boy. Moore's performance is hard to take in its intensity, yet it's true to the character and her circumstances -- rarely has a film allowed so raw a demonstration of parental bereavement. Yet it's Jackson who holds our attention throughout, making an indelible impression as an African-American lawman whose loyalties are questioned by both his friends in the projects and his acquaintances on the force. Price's bustling script and the actors provide enough drama to overcome the terrible direction by Roth (Christmas With the Kranks), whose kamikaze style (swerving cameras, rapid edits, a booming soundtrack) displays an inexplicable lack of confidence in his material.

Dave Chappelle, amusingly commenting that he's mediocre at both comedy and music yet able to make a fortune nonetheless, heads to his Dayton, OH, hometown to hand out golden tickets to attend his block party in Brooklyn.

Chappelle invites everyone from young black dudes to elderly white women to attend his shindig, which turns out to be a celebration of hip-hop music: Among those taking part in the musical mirth are Kanye West, Mos Def, Erykah Badu (removing her wig at one point) and the reunited Fugees. Dave Chappelle's Block Party, not so much directed as observed

by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), is unique in the manner in which it salutes AfricanAmerican culture and unity while at the same time exhibiting an exalted openness that makes it clear everyone's invited to take part in the merriment. The comic material is spotty -- some gags work better than others -- but the sizzling concert performances are the primary attraction anyway.

young women. The theater proves to be a raging success, but then World War II comes along to rain on everyone's parade. Daffy humor makes way for maudlin drama, but except for the chance to catch Hoskins in his own oneman rendition of The Full Monty, there's nothing here to indicate that accomplished director Stephen Frears (Dirty Pretty Things, The Grifters) is doing anything but coasting. Still, the blue-hairs will take to this like ducks to water.

THE NEW WORLD ✰✰

Connect Savannah

03.01.06

www.connectsavannah.com

Terrence Malick isn't in the business of making movies -- and that's not just because The New World is only his fourth big-screen outing in the past 33 years. It seems almost incidental that Malick uses actors and scripts and props while creating his works, because what he's producing are visual poems.

Other filmmakers have on occasion adopted this method -- Werner Herzog, Jane Campion, Robert Flaherty, Godfrey Reggio -- but in some respects Malick is the most slavishly devoted to it, for better or worse. With The New World, it's mostly for the worst. As always, the cameraman is the star, and ace cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki might well score an Oscar nod for his masterful visions on celluloid. Yet any ambience created in tandem by Lubezki and Malick repeatedly dissipate in the face of the plodding treatment of fascinating

material: the founding of Jamestown in 1607 and, more specifically, the relationship between lithe Native American girl Pocahontas (Q'orianka Kilcher) and sensitive English settler John Smith (Colin Farrell). As a look at the despoiling of untamed territory by brutish Europeans, this can't touch Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God -heck, it's not even up to the shaky standards of Hector Babenco's At Play In the Fields of the Lords. Hitchcock once cracked that actors should be treated like cattle, but Malick seems to have adopted that statement as philosophy: His indifference to the accomplished performers milling around the set (Christopher Plummer and Christian Bale among them) is so apparent that one almost wonders why he didn't just cast this with mannequins. He seems equally bored with prose, considering some of the dead-weight exclamations uttered by various characters.

NANNY MCPHEE ✰✰1/2

Nanny McPhee may be based on Christianna Brand’s “Nurse Matilda” books, but its cinematic predecessor is clearly the family film that turned “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” into the longest household word ever recorded. Emma Thompson, delivering a sharp performance under pounds of facial latex, plays the title character, a snaggletooth, wart-sprouting nursemaid who mysteriously shows up to help a widower (Colin Firth) contend with his seven monstrous children. As Nanny McPhee helps transform these little devils into little angels, she also becomes involved in the family’s strained

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN ✰✰✰1/2

Has there ever existed a movie genre simultaneously as macho and as rife with homoerotic undertones as the Western? With the exception of the war flick, no other film classification has found as little use for women as this one. So in hindsight, it now seems like a no-brainer that Annie Proulx's short story Brokeback Mountain should have been brought to the big screen.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what the nation's in-bred yahoos and right-wing commentators think about the film: Most likely, they won't turn out for it any more than they did for, say, Lost In Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or any other challenging movie that had nothing to do with homosexuality but plenty to do with breaking away from the conventional pack. But the secret behind Brokeback Mountain is that, behind its convenient (and infuriating) designation as "the gay cowboy movie," this is as universal as any love story Hollywood has produced in recent times. Director Ang Lee has managed to make a movie that vibrates on two separate settings: It's a story about the love between two men, yes, but it's also a meditation on the strict societal rules that keep any two people -- regardless of gender, race, class, religion, etc. -- out of each other's arms. As Jack, Gyllenhaal

delivers a nicely modulated performance that's by turns silly and sullen, as the peppy kid looking forward to life's challenges turns into a frustrated adult. The weakness in his work -- that he doesn't completely disappear into his character - is only noticeable because his co-star is operating at such a stratospheric level. Ledger, in short, is phenomenal as Ennis, the sort of pensive individual who's so reluctant to speak that it appears as if uttering a syllable is as strenuous for him as lifting a refrigerator is to the rest of us. Thanks to Ledger, Ennis' anguish causes our own hearts to break on his behalf. And depending on one's own viewpoint, the torment caused by his ardor either confirms or contradicts the veracity of Alfred Tennyson's venerable adage, "I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it when I sorrow most; Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all."

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE ✰✰✰

Like the best kid flicks, this one never talks down to its target audience, and its religious themes -- issues involving honor, forgiveness and redemption -embody the true spirit of Christianity and serve as an antidote to the sadistic theatrics of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. ◗

Free Will Astrology

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As of this week, I have written 1,500 astrology columns. Some have been better-written and more useful than others, but I’ve given my utmost effort to every single one. My style has mutated over the years; the horoscopes I penned in, say, 1994, are so unlike those I write now that they almost seem to be the product of a different author. But then I myself have transformed radically since

by Rob Brezsny

then, so it makes sense that my work has, too. In fact, my personal development has been fueled by my growth as a writer. I urge you to do what I’ve just done, fellow Cancerian. Take an inventory of the big tasks you’ve been doing for years.

Evaluate the way they’ve evolved and how they’ve shaped your destiny. It’s time for an expansive look at the labors of love that have made you who you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Japanese farmers have perfected a way to grow square watermelons. At the market the fruit can be stacked with more ease and efficiency, and at home it fits better in the refrigerator. I suggest that you make the square watermelon your metaphor of the week, Leo. What can you do to retrain nature so that it better serves your practical goals?

How might you engineer your unruly instinctual urges so as to further your civilized needs?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In her book Gender Shock, Phyllis Burke notes that as recently as 70 years ago, pink was regarded as a strong, masculine color, and blue as delicate and feminine. This is one of many pieces of evidence she cites to support her argument that definitions of gender arise more from transitory cultural biases rather than biological axioms.

If you’d like to align yourself with cosmic rhythms, Virgo, you’ll experiment with her hypothesis. Are there ways you’ve cut yourself off from potential powers because you wrongly assume they’re a specialty of the other gender? For instance, if you’re a woman, have you been timid about developing your will? If you’re a man, have you crippled your ability to be receptive?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you have been experiencing some form of injustice, it’s an excellent time to stage a protest, strike, or boycott. The astrological omens don’t necessarily guarantee you’ll get all your demands met, but they do make it likely you’ll be able to harness your anger with maximum lucidity. For best results, don’t just fight for your own rights, but for the rights of others as well. You should also continued on page <None>

make sure that in fighting the disrespect you’ve suffered that you yourself don’t disrespect anyone.

create your own list): mellifluous, thrive, melody, luminous, undulate, freshening, reverence, primordial, shimmer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You can’t wait for inspiration,” proclaimed writer Jack London. “You have to go after it with a club.” That sounds too violent to me, though I agree in principle that aggressiveness is the best policy in one’s relationship with inspiration--especially for you in the coming weeks. Here’s my modified version of London’s advice: “Don’t wait for inspiration. Go after it with a butterfly net, fishing rod, specimen jars, petri dishes, leashes, sweet treats, juicy bait, persuasive arguments, and sincere flattery.” And whatever you do, Scorpio, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that inspiration is a rare stroke of luck you’re powerless to summon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There was an indignant uproar after revelations that James Frey’s bestselling memoir A Million Little Pieces contains fabrications.

Hearing about it prompted me to ruminate on whether there’s any such thing as a completely accurate account of *any* person’s life. My conclusion: no. In every autobiography and biography ever written, the author imaginatively strings together selectively chosen details to conjure up artificially coherent narratives rather than depict the crazy-quilt ambiguity that actually characterizes everyone’s journey.

If you and nine writers set out to tell your life story, you’d produce ten wildly different tales, each rife with subjective interpretation, misplaced emphasis, unintentional distortions, and exorbitant extrapolations from insufficient data. Your assignment this week, Aquarius, is to celebrate the malleability of reality. Regale listeners with stories about the time you worked as a pirate in the Indian Ocean, or rode the rails through Kansas as a hobo, or gave Donald Trump sage advice in an elevator.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Earth is a school and daily life is our classroom,” asserts Dan Millman in his book Living on Purpose. Our teachers aren’t always experts and authorities, he says, but often appear in the guise of strangers, acquaintances, children, animals, and unexpected circumstances. The lessons we’re asked to master come to us first as simple, straightforward challenges. If we refuse to work at solving them, they take on progressively more difficult and painful forms.

Among the most basic of our assignments is the mandate to take good care of our bodies. In my opinion, Sagittarius, that’s the most important homework you have in the coming weeks. I hope you’ll make dramatic strides in your understanding of what helps your body thrive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The language we use has a tremendous power to shape our experience. This is especially true for you right now. The words you choose to describe your feelings and adventures will tip the balance of your energy toward delight and vigor or else toward discouragement and apathy. The fewer negative perspectives you formulate, the better your health will be. To spur yourself in the right direction, make frequent use of beautiful words like the following (or

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Biologist Rupert Sheldrake regularly riles up the scientific establishment with his theories about telepathy and other taboo subjects. After he published his book A New Science of Life, the editor of the prestigious British journal Nature denounced it, saying “This infuriating tract is the best candidate for burning there has been for many years.”

The same editor later attacked Sheldrake for “heresy,” advocating that he be “condemned in exactly the same language that the Pope used to condemn Galileo.” I propose that if you’re doing your job correctly in the coming weeks, Pisces, you will attract similar protests from the status quo. Fulfilling your mission will require you to wander into territory that’s regarded as off-limits by the guardians of the way things have always been done. ◗

www.connectsavannah.com

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Welcome to your crash course at Happiness School, Gemini. To begin your first lesson, say the following aloud: “In the next 20 days, I will rigorously test the hypothesis that it’s possible for me to become far more skilled at creating happiness for myself. During that time, I will do everything within my power to make myself feel good.” Now take a piece of paper and write a list of ten familiar experiences that you really enjoy and ten untried experiences that would fill you with well-being if you summoned the courage and initiative to actually attempt them. Finally, Gemini, do at least one of those 20 experiences every day for the next 20 days.

For information about either program, call Phyllis Greene at

03.01.06

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The greatest gift you can give right now might be the gift that you yourself were never given. The most valuable service you have to offer your fellow humans may be the service you have always wished were performed for you. An experience that wounded you could and should move you to help people who’ve been similarly wounded.

You now have the power to heal yourself by healing others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The supple willow tree does not contend against the storm.” So says the Shaolin monk advising his young pupil in the old TV show, Kung Fu. Let that be your watchword, Aries. There will be other times when your best interests will be served by digging in, steeling your will, and launching a fierce counteroffensive. But this is not one of those occasions. If you’re as supple as the willow, no harm will come to you. In fact, you’ll probably end up feeling like you’ve gotten a very deep, long massage.
