OUR 1386TH ISSUE 09.17.2015 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR I’ve been in Southern France for the last couple of weeks, visiting my wife’s family and attending my step-daughter’s wedding. Yes, I know. My life is hard.

The truth is, there’s seldom been a more affordable time to go to France than right now. The American dollar is really strong against the Euro. We rented a house in a tiny village called Pélissanne for a ridiculously reasonable amount. We walked a block to the local pâtisserie for fresh bread and croissants each morning; a block the other way for beautiful produce and local cheese. We bought excellent bottles of wine for less than three dollars, stuff that costs $18-$20 in Memphis. Clothes, restaurants, even gas … everything was on le cheap.

We never turned on the television and were barely aware of U.S. news. We didn’t think about Donald Trump or Kim Davis or Robert Lipscomb or the Memphis Tigers or much of anything else that grabs our attention hereabouts. We went to dinners with family in the evening, and spent our days venturing into the countryside in a borrowed Subaru. We also drove down to the beaches a couple of times, where they always seemed to be holding some sort of “topless day.”

There is a lot to like about my wife’s home country.

But some things take getting used to. Waiters and waitresses, for instance. In France, they are paid a living wage and expect very little in the way of tips. Because of this, I suppose, they don’t attempt to ingratiate themselves. They don’t call you “Hon” or touch your shoulder or kneel at your side. They don’t flirt or ask if you’re “still working on that” or suggest dessert. It’s all very business-like. Thank god, at least they’re topless.

No, I kid.

The most difficult part of the trip was our return to the states. Due to a pilots’ strike, we had to change airlines and rebook all our flights. Unfortunately, our luggage didn’t get the news, and we were forced to deal with the extremely poor baggage claim process of a U.S. airline. I won’t name it, but its initials are American Airlines.

Upon arrival in Memphis, we filled out all the forms and showed our luggage claim tickets and went home, reassured by the baggage agent that all would be well. But after two days of waiting, the airline could only find two of our four bags.

Finally, we called the airline’s national claims office, only to learn that the Memphis office had never actually turned in N E WS & O P I N I O N our lost baggage forms, trusting, I supLETTERS - 4 THE TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE - 4 pose, that the luggage would just show THE FLY-BY - 6 up eventually.

What They Said...

Letters and comments from Flyer readers

GREG CRAVENS

Flinger”: Would it be true social activism for someone to use Power Box’s list to create a list of alternate, white-owned businesses and distribute that list to people who support falsely accused law enforcement officers?

No, it would not. It would be racist, divisive, and stupid.

Whatever. At least she is trying to do something positive with Power Box. I hope the businesses on the list do well.

That would create something positive from something disgraceful, pathetic, and hope-crushing.

Memphis rules!

IT’S A SIGN! The fast food signs of Memphis are a never-ending fountain of memorable prose. We’re especially fond of the new Arby’s campaign, although “Sliders: Marvels of Meatcraft” sounds less like a sandwich promotion and more like a porn movie. Or a History Channel special event.

On a related note, have you seen the incredibly fair deal being offered by the Union Avenue Krystal? Buy one, get one Spicy Chik Biscuit.

Library of the Future New space for teens opens this week at the Central Library.

Doors will open this week on Cloud901, a new space at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library, designed for teens to develop creative, “21st century skills” and to push Memphis toward the “future of libraries.”

Cloud901 sits on two floors of the library, taking over roughly 9,000 square feet of stack space where the library’s collection of audiobooks, DVDs, and music were formerly located (those have found new homes in the library).

Cloud901 has a video production lab, complete with cameras, editing software, and even a green screen. It has a lounge that can be converted into a performance space. Cloud901’s soundmixing lab is “the closest thing we could get to a recording studio inside the public library,” said Janae Pitts-Murdock, the library system’s coordinator of teen services.

Up a set of stairs, teens can learn traditional (read: nondigital) art forms with paper, watercolors, pastels, charcoal, and more. Downstairs, they can show off their work in a gallery facing the high-traffic first floor of the library, which sees nearly 850,000 visitors a year.

Back upstairs close to the art studio, teens can learn graphic design in a space that features the latest computers,

Their legacies are controversial. But we must not forget that one brought us unforgettable music. The other opened the door to China. Together, they brought us giant pandas.”

New Face for an Old Tower

New design plans for Broad Avenue water tower

New design for Broad Avenue water tower is underway.

“The third time’s a charm” is the case for the everevolving design plans for the Broad Avenue Arts District’s iconic water tower.

Local artist Tylur French of Youngblood Studios began a mural painting project on the water tower this week after two previous design plans for the tower fell through. Lighting designer Jeremy Fisher will complete the project with color-changing LED lights.

“The businesses on the street wanted something that would have daytime and nighttime appeal.

And Tylur and Jeremy were able to come up with options that honor the iconic shape of the water tower but also provide this great beacon for the street,” said Pat Brown, vice president of the Historic Broad Business Association.

French’s design will feature a topographic image of the Mississippi River that will wrap around the barrel of the tower. His team began building scaffolding and safety structures last week, and he said they should begin painting by the end of this week.

“The location on the river where Memphis is will be a starburst,” said French, who also designed the bike gate

entrance on the East Parkway side of Overton Park. “When you look at it from the top, it will look like a map. But on its side, that water line becomes a horizon with a sunrise. It’s really indicative of the spirit of everyone on Broad.”

Fisher, a lighting designer for Theatre Memphis, will be installing colored LED lights on the tower over the next month or so.

“The lights will be controlled by a computer that will fade through the colors throughout the night,” Fisher said. “For the holidays, we may do red and green lights. Or for Griz games, we can make it all blue.”

French and Fisher’s plan replaced a more ambitious, costly plan by New York artist Suikang Zhao to install a perforated metal ribbon around the tower. Zhao was chosen continued on page 8

J. Brooks Coffee Roasters offer a new flavor to benefit the Hospitality HUB. of coffee at the HUB starts a relationship. It makes people feel like, ‘Okay, you’re not trying to push me into any change. I’m getting coffee.’ That gives us a chance to talk to the person, network with the person, and hopefully develop some changes in their lives.”

“The HUB is a vital part of the Memphis community,” she said. “The Votes being cast for coffee at Muddy’s HUB is able to give what one individual or agency can’t give. We give the whole scope. We have the time because of our counselors. We’re simply saying to the community: Don’t forget the HUB. Continue to support us so we can make some changes in people’s lives and help end homelessness.”

At the Midtown Muddy’s Coffee & Bake Shop last Saturday morning, throngs of customers filed in to get their morning cup of joe. But what awaited them was the chance to vote on a new roast for J. Brooks Coffee Roasters that will benefit a Memphis homeless service provider.

J. Brooks has been supplying the Hospitality HUB with coffee for years.

Anyone, particularly people experiencing homelessness, can walk into the HUB, located at 82 N. Second, and get a free cup of coffee, no strings attached.

Now, J. Brooks is adding a new coffee to its line called “HUB,” named after the organization. Two dollars from the sale of each bag will benefit the HUB. The HUB provides free services to people who are experiencing homelessness. Guests can receive a temporary mailing address, which can help them secure jobs. Guests also have access to restrooms, snacks, telephones, computers, and lockers, as well as counseling services and assistance in obtaining birth certificates and other documents. They also provide vouchers for temporary shelters.

“We’re really impressed with them,” said John Pitman, the roaster for J. Brooks.

“They’ve got a fantastic board. The program is just spot-on. It’s an honor and a point of pride for us to be associated with them. I think they’re making a tremendous difference in the city. They’re doing things that I can’t do. So what I can do, I’ll do to help them.”

Last Saturday, visitors to Muddy’s sampled and voted on the roast that will benefit the HUB. They were given a choice between three medium roasts. The first choice — roast A — was mild, the strength seemingly low. Roast B, a new roast for J. Brooks, tasted bitter and tart, while roast C evened out between the two and tasted like a complex, rich cup of coffee.

Votes were cast by placing small white balls into Mason jars next to each pot of coffee. The winner was a single-origin Mexico Chiapas Turquesa.

Pitman said having people vote on the HUB flavor “engenders involvement.”

“People feel like they’re personally involved, which they are,” he said. “It’s a great engagement for community, to build a sense of leadership and do some good in this city. If people can say, ‘I was a part of that,’ it just ups the ante. It really communicates a consistent message. The HUB is there to make a difference in Memphis and involve people, either on the receiving end as well as people on the giving end.”

And according to Beatrice Kimmons, the executive director of the Hospitality HUB, coffee is important to the work.

“People don’t realize that we take for granted the small things,” she said. “A cup

MY CARE MY WAY IS

POLITICS By Jackson Baker

Close, But No Cigars With one last major forum to go, the mayoral race remains tight.

BIRTH CONTROL FOR EVERY BODY.

September 17-23, 2015

With three weeks to go, the race for Memphis mayor is still a coin-toss affair. By most reckonings, incumbent AFFORDABLE, Mayor A C QUALITY CARE Wharton and City Councilman Jim Strickland are running virtually neck and neck.

That circumstance was confirmed by a recent Mason-Dixon poll, published in The Commercial Appeal, which had Wharton at 30 percent and Strickland at 25 percent, with City Councilman Harold Collins and Memphis Police Association President Mike Williams at 12 percent each.

Arguments promptly raged as to the nature of the sampling, but the general picture seemed clear enough. And so were candidates’ responses.

(901) 725-1717 Strickland’s support among white 2430 Poplar Avenue voters and along the Poplar Corridor Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region www.plannedparenthood.org/memphis in general was obvious and unlikely to diminish much, if at all, by election day.

If anything, came the word from his FLYER_quarter_MCMW.indd 2 8/18/14 12:42 PMcamp, his standing in the poll was lowballed. Strickland, who has certainly not forsworn the black vote but was lagging there, accelerated his appearances at African-American churches and other predominantly black venues to augment his prospects.

Wharton was maintaining a plurality among black voters, who constitute almost two-thirds of the eligible electorate, and was in the low Share the Pennies rounds your utility bill up double-digits among whites. The mayor to the next whole dollar amount and kept pitching to his strength and was donates the difference to Project CARE, emphasizing support from fellow office-holders and established sources, which assists elderly and disabled including The Commercial Appeal, customers with energy-efficiency which gave him its endorsement.

• Politics is politics, and education is education, but all too often, especially in

Memphis and Shelby County in recent times, the two have merged.

Everybody in Shelby County surely got their fill of education politics per se during the the city/county school merger controversy that raged from December 2010 to August 2014, when the six suburban municipalities of Shelby County got their independent school districts up and running, more or less.

But what’s this? Here, in its entirety, is an item reported in the current issue of the Nashville-based Tennessee Journal: “The Memphis-Shelby County Education Association claimed through its attorney Wednesday to have seceded from the Tennessee Education Association and the National Education Association. Relations had been tense since Keith Williams, a former M-SCEA president whose term ended in July, was hired last month as the new executive director.

The four principal mayoral candidates will participate Tuesday at noon at the University Club in what could be the climactic mayoral forum. The forum is sponsored by the Rotary Club and the Flyer.

“Ken Foster, the director for 15 years, was ousted. TEA has notified teachers it has set up a new ‘TEA West’ office to serve them, and that despite actions of M-SCEA leaders, they are still members of TEA and NEA. According to a TEA email, TEA West was established ‘after M-SCEA leadership refused to allow NEA officials to conduct an audit, broke the agreement of the Memphis-Shelby County [schools] merger, forced out the longserving executive director, and now has claimed to disaffiliate from TEA-NEA.’” For the record, the Keith Williams mentioned here is the same Keith Williams who is considered one of the main contenders in the race for the District 3 City Council seat being vacated by Harold Collins, now a candidate for mayor.

Williams’ pugnacity as an opponent of the charter surrender that was voted on by a majority of the old Memphis City Schools board on December 20, 2010, was rivaled only by that of then

• Runoffs, if they should be called for in the District 3 race or in any of the other six district races, will not be held on November 8th, as originally scheduled and announced as a runoff date, but on November 19th. This is according to a new clarification by the Shelby County Election Commission of state election law, which calls for runoffs to occur no sooner than 30 days from the posted election day and no longer than 45 days.

The clarification happens incidentally to avoid the awkwardness of holding an election on a date, November 8, which falls on a Sunday.

• Meanwhile, one de facto “runoff ” election has already been held — that for the chairmanship of the Shelby County Commission. The commission’s original vote for chairman was held a month ago — on August 10th, when East Memphis Republican member Steve Basar won the election by a single vote.

Then, in a bizarre turnabout, one hour after the election, Memphis Democrat Eddie Jones, who had abstained for most of the ballot rounds that day before casting what had turned out to be the decisive vote for Basar, unexpectedly asked for a reconsideration — i.e., a revote on the matter.

Parliamentary protocol allows for such a reconsideration if the person seeking it was a member of the prevailing side on the original vote, and Jones, who had in the meantime had several sotto voce conversations with another chairmanship contender, Millington Republican Terry Roland, qualified.

After a vote which narrowly approved reconsideration, another vote was held, in which — thanks largely to a spoiler candidacy by Collierville Republican George Chism — neither the now un-elected Basar nor Roland could prevail, and a new election was called for this week, to accommodate Jones, who said he would be unable to attend the intervening commission meeting on August 14th.

Come Monday, and the new election was the first order of business after the commission’s approval of a consent agenda. With interim chair Van Turner presiding (outgoing chair Ford’s term having formally terminated), new nominations for chairman were called for, and the same three candidates as before — Basar, Roland, and Chism — were put in nomination.

Tellingly, Roland was nominated this time by Jones. In the end, after two ballots, Roland won election on the basis of five Republican votes, including his own, and those of two Democrats, Jones and Ford.

As a preamble to Monday’s rescheduled chairmanship election, several citizens, representing Democratic, Republican, and perhaps independent constituencies, had appeared before the commission, challenging its members to cast their votes on some basis other than deal-making.

Whatever degree of public cynicism that may have represented, victor Roland, whose election was a springboard of sorts for the county mayor’s race he intends to run in 2018, sought to be reassuring. Before the vote, he promised “from my heart” that, if elected, he would “break my neck” on behalf of his colleagues of all persuasions. After the vote, he professed to be humbled.

Basar — who, besides his two recent setbacks, had suffered an unanticipated loss to Ford in last year’s chairmanship vote — was sounding philosophical even before Monday’s vote was taken.

“Déjà vu all over again,” he said.

board member Kenneth Whalum Jr., now a candidate for the Super District 9, Position 2 seat.

As previously indicated in this space, Whalum is running as the unofficial head of a like-minded “education slate,” and, unsurprisingly perhaps, Williams is one of the six members of that slate he has endorsed.

By all accounts, the other major candidate for the District 3 seat is Patrice Robinson, who served alongside Whalum on the old MCS board and was a member of the majority which cast the fateful vote to surrender the MCS charter.

Robinson — who has been running hard in the current District 3 race, holding one meet-and-greet affair per week — previously tangled in the race for the District 9 Shelby County Commission seat now held by Justin Ford, who was able to eke out a win in that winner-take-all race.

Unlike that race, this one for city council is subject to a run-off if no one candidate is able to win a majority, and, inasmuch as the field includes five other candidates — some with name recognition from previous races of their own — it is not impossible that this latest showdown between Williams and Robinson will have another chapter beyond October 8th.

The other active contenders for the District 3 seat are Tanya Cooper, also an educator and the daughter of state Representative Barbara Cooper; Kevin Mott; Sherman Kilimanjaro; and Coleman Thompson. Rhonda Banks is listed on the ballot as a candidate, but she has suspended her race and is now supporting Robinson.

“Suburb of Nothing” MEMPHIS’ OLDEST & BEST ALTERNATIVE SMOKE SHOP

VISIT OUR BOOTH IN FRONT OF BLACK LODGE @

COOPER YOUNG FESTIVAL THIS SATURDAY, SEPT. 19

We are indebted to a wise and friendly visitor, Mayor Mick Cornett of Oklahoma City, for the phrase that heads this editorial. The mayor, who has been elected four times to lead his up-and-coming city, was the third in the series of other cities’ chief executives who have been invited to Memphis to share their urban wisdom with us Memphians under the rubric of our sister publication Memphis Magazine’s annual “A Summons to Memphis” series. He follows Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans (2013) and Mayor Karl Dean of Nashville, who spoke last year.

The phrase “suburb of nothing” is one of those conceptual terms, instantly understood once you’ve heard it, that you end up wishing you’d said yourself.

Before he spoke to a large audience at the official “Summons” luncheon at The Peabody, the mayor had first broken bread at breakfast with a small group of Memphis/Mid-South leaders at Harbortown’s River Inn, and when he served up the phrase to his hosts, it resonated immediately.

Cornett used the term, in a sense that was simultaneously descriptive and cautionary, to denote those developed and nominally independent areas adjacent to a core metropolis that either choose to disaffiliate from the mother city or are alienated from it by some aspect of the city perceived by them to be undesirable. Or both. Those of us who live with this condition on a daily basis on one side of the dividing line or another and who still smart from the wounds of a protracted city/ county school-merger controversy instantly recognized ourselves in the

phrase. As Cornett went on to dilate on the matter, he made the obvious point that such a de facto divorce between city and suburb is in the long run ruinous to both, for it is the city, and only the city, that can provide both a psychic and a physical infrastructure to nourish its suburbs and make of them something other than peripheral zip codes. We are in this together, or should be, and the city, by virtue of its size and clout, has the major responsibility to make it so.

Ask someone in a suburb where downtown is, Cornett suggested. “If they point to the smaller buildings nearby, you’re in trouble. If they point to the taller buildings off in the distance a bit, you’re okay.” It is a syllogism of sorts: If the core city is a living, breathing, culturally attractive place, then to that degree its suburbs will be drawn into its orbit.

Cornett is recognized as a national leader (most recently the only mayor named to a list of 50 movers and shakers by Politico Magazine) because he was instrumental in converting his own city, an automobile-centric place “with the most unfriendly walkability imaginable” (a kind of overgrown suburb itself, in other words), into a walkable, lively, urban environment.

That was one of the lessons for us that the Oklahoma City mayor brought with him, and that is precisely why we summoned him.

shattered) in his final run for city mayor.

And if you wish to suggest that race was a factor in those elections, then what of the well-credentialed Deidre Malone, who lost a Democratic primary to Joe Ford, a fellow African American, for county mayor in 2010, and then lost the general election for that office to Republican incumbent Mark Luttrell in 2014? Why can’t a woman be elected mayor in this town or county?

Like Barry, who had served on Nashville’s Metro Council for eight years prior to her election, Malone had served on the Shelby County Commission for eight years. Malone had served as chair of the budget committee and was the first African-American female to serve as chair of the entire commission. There should have been no questions as to her qualifications to serve as the county’s mayor, especially when one factors in her work with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and her successful business, The Carter Malone Group.

Is it possible that one reason is that local African-American women are not comfortable voting for women for executive positions because of religious reasons?

There are black churches in this town, lots of them, that are to the right of Bellevue Baptist on social issues, and these conservative (in the religious sense) women may be simply unwilling to elect a woman to an office that they believe should remain in the hands of a man.

It’s 2015, and one has to wonder why this could even be an issue, but we know from experience that social achievements often take longer to take hold in the Mid-South. It does suggest to me, however, why it is so difficult for a woman to achieve that office in Memphis or countywide. Our suburban neighbors, Germantown (Sharon Goldsworthy) and Collierville (Linda Kerley) have elected female mayors, but those are mostly white, more affluent towns.

I wish that, when running a poll of the city or county, the media outlet doing so would include these questions to all surveyed voters: Would your beliefs prevent you from voting for a female for mayor of your city or county? If so, why?

It’s not scientific, but even reader comments to this article might provide an answer to this mystery. And, really, I am mystified.

NEWS & OPINION

Nashville voted heavily on September 10th, doing what Knoxville did four years ago, and what Memphis and Shelby County have, so far, refused to do: They elected a female mayor for the first time. And, no, I don’t see this as leading to a groundswell for Memphis mayoral candidate Sharon Webb.

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Megan Barry, who was also the first sitting metro councilor to be elected mayor.

She beat David Fox, who seemed to be doing well, until he started campaigning like a Tea Partier, which turned off the city’s voters in short order.

Of Tennessee’s five largest cities, three of them will have female mayors: Knoxville (Madeline Rogero), Clarksville (former State Representative Kim McMillan), and Nashville with Barry.

Memphis and Shelby County have certainly produced women who are qualified to lead the city and/or county, yet it has not happened. One of the several undeniably qualified female candidates was Republican Commissioner Carolyn Gates, who ran for the county mayorship in 1994, losing to Jim Rout in a crowded field.

City Councilwoman Mary Rose McCormick ran unsuccessfully in the packed 1999 mayoral race in which then Mayor Willie Herenton won a third term. Wanda Halbert, a veteran of the Memphis School Board and the City Council, ran unsuccessfully in the 2009 race to fill the vacated fifth term of Herenton, which was won by the current incumbent, A C Wharton.

Several shots. No basket. Why not?

The largest voting bloc in the city of Memphis, and Shelby County, for that matter, is African-American women.

These women have gladly supported their sisters of all colors for legislative positions, giving us great fighters like the late Lois DeBerry and Kathryn Bowers, as well as current leaders such as Karen Camper, Raumesh Akbari, Barbara Cooper, and Senator Sara Kyle.

However, when it comes to electing women to executive positions such as Memphis mayor or Shelby County mayor, nada.

While it is easy to see how Carol Chumney’s 2002 loss to A C Wharton in the Democratic primary for county mayor could be attributed to the excitement that Wharton would be the first African American elected to that office, she didn’t get much help from AfricanAmerican women to break the glass ceiling in 2007 when she challenged Herenton (whose ceiling was long since

Memphis is trending, and not just because the city is finally enjoying some civic love. Crushing on anything Memphis has been in style for a while. Fashion in Memphis is bright, colorful, sharp — a perfect match for Birdcap’s new mural at Midtown’s Eclectic Eye. Color takes over in the artwork as explosions of different hues form imaginary beings in an engaging fantasy water scene.

“Street art serves as a cultural connector to other cities,” Birdcap says, describing how he’s seen images of Memphis’ murals on far-flung Instagram and Facebook accounts. “That has one of our walls in it. It says Memphis in the description. I think that’s huge … that’s a new Memphis hallmark.”

Robbie Johnson Weinberg, director of operations at Eclectic Eye and patron of this particular piece of public art, has her own innate sense of style and played the perfect hostess to our group of models (scouted from the Peabody Rooftop Parties) and behind-the-scenes crew. “I’ve always had a huge appreciation for and interest in the arts, specifically in Memphis,” says this one-time art history major.

“The products we carry are truly works of art for your face. Every day, we get to help our community express their sense of fashion and style through eyewear; it’s an exciting and fulfilling job.”

Local retailers are loaded up with great fall clothing, and the biggest, brightest trend is color … and having the personality to pull it off. Artists like Birdcap and art supporters like Weinberg are key elements in keeping Memphis moving in a forward direction. Fall fashion here in the Bluff City is confident and reflective of what some good self-pride can do for the heart, soul, and mind. It is our time to shine, and the next few pages are proof that inner style is all about surrounding yourself with expressive design through the arts — painting and fashion and life in general.

steppin’ out

We Recommend: Culture, News + Reviews

By Chris Davis

Opera Memphis General Director Ned Canty hates to say no to anybody. But September’s now-annual 30 Days of Opera event has grown to near capacity since it launched four years ago. And every year there are more fall festivals and events to choose from. He can’t take live opera to all of them, can he?

“What we really need to figure out before next year is a way to get more access to more singers,” Canty says of an event that was originally conceived as a profile-raising campaign involving one location-specific opera event per day for an entire month. Now, most days in September, the company does at least two, and often three, off-site performances.

This week’s 30 Days performance schedule includes a Friday-night concert at the Levitt Shell. “That’s a show where we know the audience is proportionately least likely to have attended an opera,” says Canty, who’s always eager to get his singers in front of fresh eyes and ears. “So what we have is an open-minded audience that enjoys a lot of different types of musical experiences but are not necessarily coming to our events.” He sees it as an opportunity to preview Opera Memphis’ upcoming season, share some of opera’s greatest hits, sing some show tunes (maybe), and engage in some derring-do. This year, Canty is pairing individual singers with Memphis street-style dancers from New Ballet Ensemble. The duos will then square off against one another in an opera-enhanced version of a jookin’ dance battle.

“The concert at the Shell really kicks off our season in a way that’s ecstatic and kind of, ‘hell yeah,’” Canty says. “We will end with ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ which is just a lot of fun for all of us.”

The concert is free, but those interested in adding dinner and drinks to the evening may want to consider paying $25 to attend ArtsMemphis’ Shell Out for the Arts preconcert event, which includes a meal by the Brushmark and chef Abby Jestis and beverages courtesy of Buster’s Liquors.

Outsider art and the Elvis devotee

Paul Has Left the Building

By Chris Davis Every square inch of Graceland Too was covered in Elvis memorabilia. The Holly Springs attraction had Elvis piled on every surface. The King dripped from the ceilings and was plastered across every wall. The collection never stopped growing, and no two tours with the museum’s live-in curator, Elvis mega-fan Paul MacLeod, were alike. His intense patter might include off-color jokes, snippets of his favorite songs, some obscure bit of trivia about Presley, or a personal story from one of the 120 Elvis concerts he claimed to have attended. He might rant about the price of a gallon of paint. On one of his better days, when his false teeth weren’t slipping too much, MacLeod could cram every bit of that into his opening paragraph.

Tragically, this one-of-a-kind, 24-hour roadside attraction is no more. The museum that never closed went dark forever after MacLeod died in 2014. The enormous collection was sold at auction shortly thereafter. Still, some sense of what the full Paul MacLeod experience was like can be gleaned from the Jeffrey Jensen and Geoffrey Shrewsbury documentary The Rise and Fall of Graceland Too. Clips of the still-unreleased film will be on display at Crosstown Arts Wednesday, September 23rd, as part of the Gonerfest-sponsored exhibit, “No Brag Pure Fact: the Art Of Graceland Too.” “No Brag Pure Fact,” is named for one of MacLeod’s more endearing and frequently deployed catchphrases. The exhibit also includes some of his notebooks and examples of his Elvis-themed outsider artwork.

Record Reviews Four new Memphis-related albums you need to know.

September 17-23, 2015

Ironing Board Sam Super Spirit (Big Legal Mess) It’s safe to say that Sammie Moore, aka Ironing Board Sam, is back. After being named the Comeback Artist of the Year by Living Blues Magazine in 2012, the 73-year-old spent the last two years touring Australia and France before hunkering down at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi to record Super Spirit with Bruce Watson, Jimbo Mathus, and others. Super Spirit features 10 cover tracks from the catalog of everyone from Ann Peebles to local hero Jack Oblivian, all reworked to feature Sam’s soulful signature sound. Ironing Board Sam was a regular on the 1960s TV show Night Train, and his 45s from that era are still highly soughtafter today. As for his nickname, it was earned after continually mounting his keyboard on an ironing board with a strap that allowed him to walk on-stage while playing, a practice he continues to this day.

Super Spirit is in stores on October 2nd.

Favorite Track: “Loose Diamonds”

follow in the footsteps of the Temptations while Disc Three: Southern Soul covers over 28 Southern singers, including Carla Thomas and Sam Hutchins. Disc Four: Funky Soul is pretty self-explanatory, but remember, these aren’t songs you know the words to — that would defeat the whole purpose of this extensive compilation.

In addition to being jam-packed with unreleased material, Groove & Grind is housed in a 127-page hardcover book, featuring rare photographs, 45-r.p.m. record art, and encyclopedic liner notes by Bill Dahl on every track. Groove & Grind allows the modern listener to go back in time and dig through some truly great overlooked 45s, without depleting his or her life’s savings to do so. The boxed set is available now.

Favorite Track: “You Stood Me Up” By the Specials

album since 2012’s Women & Work. Big Star’s Jody Stephens sings backup vocals on the cover track, making for a memorable moment between past and present Memphis music stars.

Even if Lucero is trying out new things in the studio, Nichols’ voice is still as familiar as ever. The 10 songs on All a Man Should Do might see Memphis’ most recognizable band moving in a slightly different direction, but, more importantly, they show a band at the pinnacle of their potential. All a Man Should Do is out September 18th.

Favorite Track: “I’m in Love with a Girl” Groove & Grind: Rare Soul ’63-’73 (RockBeat) Boxed sets can be a little bit intimidating. As someone who blows most of my money on records, I’ve often asked myself if I really need four-plus albums’ worth of material in one package. In the case of Groove & Grind: Rare Soul ’63-’73, the answer to that question is: absolutely. Released by RockBeat Records, Groove & Grind features over 100 rare soul songs, with each of the four discs covering a different area of the genre.

Disc One: Urban Soul covers some of the rarest soul releases from R&B capitals such as New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Detroit. Disc Two: Group Soul features vocal groups who hoped to

Lucero – All a Man Should Do (ATO) “I was 15 years old in 1989. This record sounds like the record I wanted to make when I was 15. It just took 25 years of mistakes to get it done.” That’s how Ben Nichols describes the latest Lucero album, a record the band is calling a “love letter to Memphis.” Recorded at Ardent Studios with longtime Lucero producer Ted Hutt, All a Man Should Do (named after a Big Star lyric) finds Lucero at perhaps their most vulnerable, trying on new sounds and even throwing in a cover of the Big Star song “I’m in Love with a Girl” on their first studio

Terrence TB Boyce – Sinner 2A Saint (Fire Proof) Terrence “TB” Boyce got his start in the streets, selling his mixtapes to whomever would buy them in parking lots across the country. After hocking CDs for a couple of years, Terrence found his niche in the gospel rap community, performing at local churches with Three 6 Mafia affiliate-turned-gospelrapper Mr. Del. Released on Fire Proof Records, Sinner 2A Saint is a religious testimony presented as a modern mixtape. With track titles like “Been Saved” and “Keep God First,” Boyce is certainly wearing his religious beliefs on his sleeve, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the mixtape is watered down. Boyce compared himself to 50 Cent or Master P in a recent interview with Memphis Magazine, and there are hints of classic Memphis rap production throughout Sinner 2A Saint, even if Boyce’s message is more “walk with Christ” than “tear da club up.” As for how Boyce’s positive message is affecting the city, he says: “It’s growing pretty big. When I first started rapping, churches didn’t want to incorporate rap; they were more about the singing. But every church wants a gospel rapper now.” Sinner 2A Saint is Lucero out now.

GRIZZLIES, GONER TEAM UP FOR COOPER-YOUNG FEST This Saturday the Memphis Grizzlies and Goner Records will host an afternoon-long celebration of local music at Cooper-Young Fest. The Grizzlies will have a tent designated specifically for season-ticket holders, and Goner Records will open at 9 a.m. to kick off the festivities. While Cooper-Young Fest is normally an arts-and-crafts/drinking affair, the music on both sides of Young Avenue is also usually worth paying attention to. The Memphis Grizzlies/Goner Records stage sits at the intersection of Young and Meda and features five different brands of local rock-and-roll.

Hosoi Bros kick things off at 12:30 p.m., bringing their brand of skaterock-meets-heavy-metal to the early hours of the festival. Hosoi Bros feature past and present members of Evil Wizard Eyes and Aquarian Blood and should pack a punch to get the show rolling. And because Hosoi Bros don’t play live very often, metal fans should plan to get to the festival early. Robby Grant (Big Ass Truck, Vending Machine, Mouserocket) calms things down a bit when he takes the stage at 1:30 p.m. Grant announced earlier this year that Let the Little Things Go was his last effort under the moniker Vending Machine, so Saturday’s gig could be a chance for Grant to showcase some new material.

Aquarian Blood bring their guitar-shredding garage rock to the stage at 2:30 p.m. Expect things to get weird. Mark Edgar Stuart is up next, playing at 3:30 p.m. Stuart will perform as Mark Edgar Stuart & the Hot Mess, making for a rare MES appearance with a full band. Local synth-punk band NOTS close the whole thing down at 4:30 p.m. — Chris Shaw Hosoi Bros, Robby Grant, Aquarian Blood, Mark Edgar Stuart, NOTS live at Cooper-Young Fest, 12 p.m., free.

FOOD By John Klyce Minervini

The Modernist

H

ave you ever stood in front of a crazy-looking vegetable and thought: What the heck is that? Well, good news. Chefs do it too. That’s what happened the other day, when Ana Gonzalez and I stopped by Memphis Farmers Market.

“They’re called muscadines,” a helpful vendor explained. “They’re like red grapes, but the skin’s a little tougher, and they’ve got one to four hard seeds inside.”

As a proud Colombian, Gonzalez can be forgiven for not knowing about muscadines, which are native to the American South. At five foot six she’s a fireball, and she has the endearing habit of calling her friends “baby.” She also happens to be the executive chef at Bleu in the Westin, where she specializes in small, shareable plates packed with bold, fresh flavors.

Oh, and she’s not afraid of muscadines. After learning about them, she snags two pints.

“You can’t take a chef to the farmers market,” Gonzalez jokes. “It’s like porn for us! We wanna buy everything.”

Gonzalez has agreed to take the Flyer’s Farmers Market Challenge. That’s where we take a chef to the farmers market and make lunch. Fortunately, she’s got help: today she’s brought along her two sons, Brian (age 11) and Deven (age 5).

“They behave pretty good,” Gonzalez asserts.

“We’re decent,” Deven amends.

It’s a hot day, so we fortify ourselves with some home-made popsicles from Mama D’s. Gonzalez chooses mango, but her kids prefer cookies and cream. Then it’s time to hit the stalls.

JOHN KLYCE MINERVINI

Ana Gonzalez takes the Farmers Market Challenge.

Ana Gonzalez, chef at Bleu in the Westin, is a modernist, whipping up fresh flavors from around the globe.

Over the course of an hour, our market basket gradually fills with heirloom tomatoes from Plowboys Produce, herbed goat cheese from Bonnie Blue Farm, duck prosciutto from Porcellino’s, arugula from Whitton Farms, and shiitake mushrooms from Dickey Farms. We’re just about to head for the car when, all of a sudden, the brassy boom of an operatic baritone cuts the air.

“Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja, Stets lustig heisa hop-sa-sa!”

If Santa Claus had arrived with a sleigh of presents, I don’t think the crowd would have been more surprised. Upon closer inspection, the songful stranger reveals himself to be from Opera Memphis, the performance a part of Opera Memphis’ 30 Days of Opera.

Gonzalez and her kids have never been to the opera before, but now they say they’re considering it.

“I like the way it sounds,” Deven sings, with an operatic vibrato.

At home in Southaven, we are greeted with a glass of white wine by Gonzalez’ husband, Brian Barrow. The two met at culinary school — Johnson & Wales University in Miami — but their cooking styles couldn’t be more different. Barrow is a classicist,

THE MODERNIST favoring continental dishes with elaborate preparations. By contrast, Gonzalez is more modern, whipping up light, fresh flavors from around the globe.

How does a classicist from Los Angeles end up with a modernist from Colombia?

Gonzalez says it all started one day in Advanced Pastry class.

She remembers, “It was right after Thanksgiving, and everybody was working over break. And Brian got the professor to move [our quiz] back by a day. I leaned over to my friend and said, ‘I’m gonna marry that man.’”

For lunch, we’re having … everything. Today’s menu includes grilled pork chops and salmon and steak. And peach sangria, and roasted veggies, and a watermelon salad. I assume that Gonzalez and her husband are showing off for the newspaper reporter, but Barrow sets me straight.

“Oh no,” he admonishes, “we do this every Saturday. This is just lunch.”

Lunch, indeed. While I sip wine and snap photos, the family gets to work. After 15 years of marriage, Gonzalez and Barrow function like a well-oiled machine, wordlessly, seeming to read one another’s thoughts. While she whisks the sauce, he’s outside on the grill. Even little Deven gets in on the action, trimming green beans and peeling a turnip.

“My kids are like me,” Gonzalez confesses. “They’re always working.”

At last it’s time to eat. The meats are succulent and well-spiced, but by far the best thing on the table is the watermelon salad: an artful arrangement that includes arugula and baby kale, heirloom tomatoes, herbed goat cheese, and duck prosciutto.

True, you can buy most of these ingredients at the grocery store. But getting them fresh from the farmers market makes a difference. The flavors are electric; they are followed by little exclamation marks. Drizzle this salad with a lemon zest vinaigrette, and you’ll never look at watermelon the same way again.

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

Don’t Call It a Comeback Lily Tomlin kicks ass in Grandma.

September 17-23, 2015

G

40

randma is Lily Tomlin’s first leading role since 1988’s Big Business, where she co-starred with Bette Midler, but for some reason, it doesn’t feel like a comeback. Maybe it’s because Tomlin has worked constantly in TV and supporting film roles like David O. Russell’s I Heart Huckabees.

Or maybe it’s because she’s just so damn good as the unreconstructed, first-wave feminist, lesbian poet Elle Reid.

We first meet her as she’s showing her much, much younger girlfriend Olivia (Judy Greer) the door. Then the 76-year-old Tomlin nails a nude, shower-crying scene like it’s not even a thing, and tops it off with a crying tooth-brushing scene.

But the shower cry is also a symptom of Grandma’s shortcomings. How many of those scenes have you seen in your life? It aspires to be something like the distaff version of St. Vincent, last year’s Bill Murray vehicle, which cast another national treasure as a curmudgeonly oldster who finds new life and meaning when he’s forced to interact with the youngsters, but it’s a little too stiff and mannered, even when it’s trying to be wooly and crazy.

While she’s alone with her thoughts, her granddaughter, Sage (Julia Garner), knocks on her door. Sage is pregnant, and needs $630 for an abortion. She’s afraid to talk to her mom, Judy (Marcia Gay Harden), so she turns to her grandma, whom she knows won’t judge her as harshly. Or at least, Sage thinks Elle won’t judge her more harshly than she judges everybody else. Elle ran out of fucks to give a long time ago, and is not afraid to tell everyone about it. “I don’t have an anger problem. I have an asshole problem,” she says.

Elle’s low on funds until an honorarium check comes in next week, and she recently cut up the last of her credit cards and made a mobile out of the pieces. She balks at the price (“Where can you get a reasonably priced abortion around here?”), but Sage has an appointment at 5:45 p.m., so the pair set off to find someone besides the dreaded “Judge Judy” to

Lily Tomlin and Julia Garner in Grandma

lend them some money.

Elle rightly thinks that Sage’s boyfriend Cam (Nat Wolff) should pitch in some dough, but when they arrive at his house for the shakedown, Elle is horrified to find that he is a selfish loser. Their confrontation ends with her administering a nutshot with a hockey stick and stealing his weed from his sock drawer. And that’s actually one of the healthier interactions Elle has in the film.

Garner is not a bad actor herself, but since she has to spend the whole movie next to Tomlin, she comes off as weak and thin. Orange Is the New Black’s Laverne Cox fares better as a tattoo-artist friend, but the only person who can come close to Tomlin’s gravitas is Sam Elliott, who plays her ex-husband Karl. Their scenes together, which serve as the emotional heart of the movie, crackle with tension.

Tomlin is every bit the equal of Meryl Streep, with whom she partnered in Robert Altman’s last film, A

Prairie Home Companion, but she doesn’t have the shelf full of Oscars to show for it. Not that you should feel sorry for Tomlin, who has two Tonys, a Grammy, and seven Emmys. Maybe because she’s such a wellknown comedian, she hasn’t gotten the roles that Streep has. I’m sure she’d like to hit the ultimate quadfecta and win an Oscar, but the problem with trying to win an Academy Award this season is that you have to be better than Mad Max: Fury Road. Still, this is the first female leading role I’ve seen this year that approaches Charlize Theron’s masterful Furiosa, and Grandma, while not a great film, is much better than Still Alice, which brought home the naked gold man for Julianne Moore last year. But really, it’s just great to see Tomlin in the driver’s seat again.

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

The elevator pitch for Crystal Moselle’s first documentary The Wolfpack reads like a set-up for a horrible tragedy: Six brothers and a sister locked inside an apartment in New York’s Lower East Side for 15 years are slowly introduced to the world.

It is, in some respects, a tragedy.

But the portrait Moselle painted of the Angulo family is more complex than that. It’s the story of family ties and patriarchy gone amok, but it’s also a story of the strength of the bond between the kids and the mythmaking power of film.

The Angulos are a global family, like many you find in New York. Their father, Oscar, is from Peru, and their mother Susanne is from Minnesota. It’s not entirely clear in the film, but Oscar was apparently a Hare Krisha around the time he met Susanne, and wanted, like Krishna, to have 10 children.

Susanne could only make it to seven, each of which were named for figures from Hindu mythology: Bhagavan, Govinda, Jagadisa, Krsna, Mukunda, and Narayana. The lone daughter is named Visnu, but if she spoke in the film, I missed it.

After the family was stranded in New York while attempting to get to Scandinavia, they holed up in their apartment. Oscar had the only key, and forbade everyone to go out outside without permission. One of the most chilling quotes in the film is from one of the boys, who says the most they ever got to go outside in one year was nine times. “One particular year, we never go out at all.”

Director Moselle happened to run into the group on the street while she was a student at NYU and befriended them because they shared her passion for movies. To while away the long, lonely hours trapped in a shabby, fourbedroom apartment, the kids watched and reenacted movies. The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II topped their list of favorites from the more than 5,000 titles they had on DVD and VHS, but they were also big fans of Quentin Tarantino, and adopted the sunglasses and dark-suit look from Reservoir Dogs as a sort of tribal uniform.

The VHS footage of some of their elaborate productions are the most compelling parts of the documentary.

Their craftsmanship and dedication are inspired in a way that can only be explained by the fact that they had

nothing else to do. Their homemade Batman costume, made from cereal boxes and cut-up yoga mats, would pass muster at Comic-Con. The array of cardboard weapons they made to act out gangster movies were so realistic, someone from the building where they live called the police thinking they had holed up with a vast arsenal, and the SWAT team ended up apologizing for breaking the apartment’s door down.

continued from page 41 You would think this would be a character study, but it’s really more of a mood piece. The kids look alike because Oscar insisted that they never cut their long, black hair. One brother, Narayana, stands out because, after seeing The Dark Knight, he was inspired to break out of the apartment and explore the city block where he had lived all his life. But even when they work up the courage to defy their paranoid, authoritarian father and venture out into the world, they still stick together. The prevailing mood of the movie is fear—of the unknown, of other people outside their little tribe, and of what will happen if they never break out. It is a toxic, corrosive fear that touches on the larger human phenomenon of tribalism. It’s also

clear that the kids’ worldview is almost completely shaped by movies, and as a result, they have a twisted view of reality. But it also suggests that maybe this strange family is only an extreme case of an artificial place where we all find ourselves in this media-saturated world.

The Wolfpack is thought-provoking and sometimes touching, but there is a nagging sense that Moselle didn’t dig deep enough into the abusive situation. But then again, the Angulos are so tight and so cloistered, maybe no one would ever be able to venture deeper into their world, or understand what they saw there.

TH E LAST WO R D by Tim Sampson

Not Linked In

m e m p h i s f l y e r. c o m

I shouldn’t do this, because it’s already scary enough. Not being a morning person, by any stretch of the imagination, and having a brain that has a lot of trouble shutting down, I wasn’t really all that surprised the other morning when I — after having been up for a good while, mind you — walked into my kitchen, peered around to make sure it was raccoon-free, bumped my head on the cabinet door, placed my coffee into the microwave to reheat it, and typed my debit-card PIN code into the timer.

And then just stood there, wondering what had gone wrong.

Obviously, I am suffering from some kind of disturbance of the brain (we won’t even go there), but I am chalking it up to information overload due to social media, print media, broadcast media, email, Gmail, snail mail, instant messaging, Google alerts, Facebook and Twitter notifications, push notifications, LinkedIn requests, LinkedIn endorsements, Facebook messages and friend requests, and … well, the list goes on and on. AND ON. I’m not sure if this onslaught is my fault for becoming involved in some of these things. I got something called a “pingback” for the first time the other day, and I just walked out of my office and smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

It’s mind-boggling to me. I rarely use my personal Facebook page but checked it recently for something, and there were over 500 friend requests. So sorry if you sent one to me, and I never responded — if, that is, I actually know you. For the most part, the requests are from people I have no recollection of ever meeting. Same with LinkedIn. Who are you people? I mean, thanks for the requests and endorsements, but who in the hell are you? Same with Facebook and all the other channels. I don’t want any more friends than I have now, so shoo!

But back to why I mentioned I shouldn’t do this stuff: Mainly, it’s because I don’t really have anything to say or write — except Happy Birthday to my little baby friend Tereus of Ballinger’s Gas Station fame, who weighed approximately a pound and a half when he was born almost a year ago and is now wearing clothes for 24-month-olds and turns 1 next week. It was a long story about a city coming together, and if I know you, I’ll happily explain it to you in person.

I don’t have anything to say or write, but I do have a lot of questions this week, and I ask anyone reading this to feel free to contact me via any means you like to help me understand some things.

First off, why is everyone crapping broken bottles about Hillary Clinton’s emails? Who cares? I’d say her emails are her business. Yes, even as secretary of state.

We are dealing with a country that is ignorant enough to consider letting Donald Trump take office as president, so why should anyone need to know what’s in her emails? They don’t deserve to know and they probably wouldn’t understand them anyway. If the GOP wants to go through some emails, let them go through mine. Let them read about women who want to meet me, cures for erectile dysfunction, what J.C. Penney Home has on sale in its “designer” department, which animals are being slaughtered, which petitions need signing immediately or the world will end, why I should join a dating service, and how many times a day the Jenner family takes a dump. They can have full access.

Speaking of which, and I have asked this many times, would someone please tell me who the Jenner family is? I applaud Caitlyn for her sense of humor and her incredible self-marketing strategy in the midst of having a sex change, but who is she? Was she some kind of athlete? I still have no idea.

What exactly are we going to do if the aforementioned Trump should actually, miraculously, and bizarrely be elected as president? I haven’t really given that any serious thought because it seems so absurd, but he ain’t slippin’ in the polls, and it looks like everyone else is. Tea Party freaks: How do you think this is actually going to work if he is elected? Do you honestly think this reality show host can successfully run the country? I’m serious. Get on the comment field online at the end of this and explain this to me.

Why are Memphis drivers even worse now than they have ever been, and why is there so much more traffic in the city than usual? Memphis has always been so famous for its horrible drivers that it’s almost boring to talk about at this point, but why is it worse than ever? Is it the bike lanes, interstate construction, younger drivers, more drivers, the new flyovers (and who designed those)? Am I the only one who is noticing this? Does anyone else not see people driving 60 until they come to some train tracks and then come to a complete stop to ramble inch-by-inch over them and then floor the accelerator back to Autobahn speed on Southern, where the speed limit is 35?

Whatever. Just text me several hundred times with your answers. Or send me a notice on LinkedIn. Or via Facebook Messenger. Just don’t do it early in the morning.
