OUR 1597TH ISSUE 10.03.19 A few weeks ago in this space, I wrote about the likelihood that our readers would soon be unable to find the Flyer at local Kroger stores. It was the result of a decision made at Kroger’s corporate headquarters in Cincinnati that no free publications would be allowed in any of its stores after October 15th.

The Kroger company claimed that the decision was made because “more publications continue to shift to digital formats, resulting in less customers using the products.” (Let’s forgive them their use of “less” when they meant “fewer”; there probably aren’t many English majors in the Kroger corporate food chain.) But the fact is that while it’s true that paid print circulation is declining at many daily newspapers, it’s actually increasing at free publications.

The Flyer is a member of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia (AAN), a national organization of around 100 alternative newsweeklies, many of which are in cities where Kroger is the dominant grocery retailer. AAN has started a nationwide campaign called “Don’t Lose Local News,” but frankly, it doesn’t appear to be having much effect.

Colorado Springs Independent founder John Weiss said last week that the pickup number for his publication in that city’s Krogers had grown to 17,000 in recent years. Berl Schwartz, publisher of the Lansing City Pulse, said his paper’s pickup rate in Kroger had almost tripled since 2012.

“The price of daily papers has increased steeply while content has declined just as sharply,” said Schwartz. “As a result, many readers have stopped buying print dailies. In market after market, free alternative weeklies have filled a big hole in local news.”

Weiss has launched an “un30 30 boycott” in Colorado Springs.

MEMPHIS “Keep shopping at the stores,” ELECTIO he says, “but while there, ask to GUIDE N speak to the manager on duty to request that they keep our paper available.” In Lansing last week, the city council passed a resolution asking Kroger corporate leadPride ers to reconsider their decision.

Memphis Similar actions are happening in other alt-weekly cities, including Cincinnati, Omaha, Salt Lake City, Oakland, and elsewhere. But barring an unlikely last-minute corporate change of mind, readers in those cities — and in Memphis — will have to start picking up their local alt-weekly at other locations.

In Memphis, 9,000 copies of the Flyer are (or were) picked up in Kroger stores each week, nearly a quarter of our circulation. The Kroger pickup rate was around 95 percent, meaning there weren’t many papers left at the end of the week — and that lots of Memphians relied on Kroger for access to the paper.

I was manning a Flyer booth at an event a couple weeks back, one of those deals where companies set up informational tables and hand out keychains and pens and other tchotchkes. We had a stack of Flyers on the table, and they went like hotcakes. I was surprised and gratified at how many folks, many of them older African Americans, told me how much they appreciated the Flyer. And many of them added, “I pick it up at Kroger every week.”

So, what are we going to do with those 9,000 papers? We’re working on it.

We’re increasing the draw at many of our other locations, especially those in Midtown and Downtown. We’re currently at all locations of Cash Saver, Superlo, Huey’s, Jack Pirtle’s, Central BBQ, and any public library. We’re also adding new locations, including (as of October 15th) all CVS pharmacies and Exxon stations — with more to come.

Love & Security {

CITY REPORTER

By Maya Smith

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) is taking proactive steps to deter acts of hate and violence on campus by concurrently beefing up its security and reviving its anti-hate campaign.

The school’s anti-hate campaign began last fall and was brought back this school year to reiterate the school’s commitment to having a hate-free, diverse campus.

As an institute of higher education and the state’s only public academic health science university, Dr. Scott Strome, the Robert Kaplan Executive Dean of the UTHSC College of Medicine, said it was important to acknowledge that “we need to set value standards and exemplify what we believe is the right thing to do.”

“We believe in diversity in all of its forms — by that I mean color of the skin, ethnic diversity, gender diversity, and all different types of diversity,” Strome said. “When we can bring people who are diverse together, it makes us stronger as a university and stronger as a culture.”

Strome said the university not only recognizes and welcomes diversity, but “we simply won’t tolerate anybody who directs malice toward another individual for any reason.”

Strome believes “hate starts locally” with jokes that “may seem funny, but are off color and hurtful.”

With efforts like the campaign, Strome said his hope is that students and faculty will learn to call

out insensitive words or actions, including those said or done in jest, when they witness them on campus.

“When those things start happening, we want the students and faculty to step in and say ‘Hey, that’s not funny,’” Strome said. “‘That actually hurts, and that’s not sensitive to who we are today. Stop it.’ So, my hope is that we never have acts that are broadly classified as hate crimes.”

Kennard Brown, UTHSC’s executive vice chancellor and chief of operations, said though the school works hard to create a culture of tolerance on campus, “You can never negate the human element.”

Because of this, UTHSC puts measures in place to prepare for acts of violence or other major incidents.

Brown said the university has about $30 million worth of security upgrades in the works.

Some of those improvements include installing nearly 2,700 additional cameras around campus.

“So we literally are watching everything in our environment to the degree that we can.”

Other recent changes include installing automated locking systems and card swipe-controlled entrances, employing security guards to man all of the campus’ public buildings, and hiring additional campus police officers.

MAYA SMITH

UTHSC takes two paths toward a safer campus.

Signs at UTHSC outline the school’s anti-hate campaign.

Brown said UTHSC has more than 40 uniformed police officers who patrol the campus and the broader Medical District, functioning “almost like a precinct of the Memphis Police Department.”

“No security system is all-encompassing,” Brown said. “But we think we thought of most of the elements that we believe will make our environment a secure one if the need arises. As comprehensive as we make it, we still think about it every day. We still make a tremendous effort to stay on the proverbial edge of new technology coming out.”

“The evolution of campus security,” Brown said, will be an “ongoing activity.”

POLITICS By Jackson Baker

LeMichael Wilson, candidate for mayor, is eloquent, downright ubiquitous, and as hard-working as a candidate can be. Moreover, he is able to suggest that it’s time for a change without focusing on negative talking points. Wilson has been running for mayor for two solid years and has raised enough money to satisfy the posted thresholds for all the debates that should have happened but didn’t, due to the annoying maneuvers of two acknowledged contenders, Mayor Jim Strickland and former Mayor Willie Herenton.

The amiable restaurateur and civic figure believes, with some reason, that he should be considered among the leaders in the mayoral race — not as a virtual unknown or as some sort of adjunct to the presumed Big Three of Strickland, Herenton, and Tami Sawyer.

For the most part, though, there is where he has lingered in the public mind for most of the mayoral race. This is despite his own claim that he has seen polling rating him no worse than third among the candidates.

Wilson has criticized the city’s reliance on PILOT (payment in lieu of taxation) financing to induce new industry to relocate here and would tie the use of that and other inducements to criteria ensuring not only strict compliance by the favored industries but to measurable spinoffs in pay and housing for local residents. He promises a general house-cleaning of citizen advisory boards to make sure ordinary Memphians are fully represented on them.

The realities of electioneering in our time are such that very little evidence exists for the prospects of a Wilson victory on October 3rd. Though it is axiomatic that, through a combination of ego or insulation against the pains and rigors of running, all — or virtually all — active candidates see themselves as possible winners, successful outcomes for long-shot entries like Wilson are few and far between.

Still, it’s hard not to appreciate the good will and sincerity behind Wilson’s self-introduction at a recent meagerly attended forum sponsored by the NAACP: “Good evening. My name is LeMichael Wilson. I’m running for

mayor of Memphis. My campaign is all about fighting for people. My push is to build a better Memphis to be the gateway of new beginnings. We all know what our issues are, but who’s going to be the best one that’s going to push us forward with solutions and to change the quality of life for the people who live in the city of Memphis. I would love everyone’s support. And that’s it.”

Frank W. Johnson is one of several candidates for Memphis City Council positions who began their efforts as lesser-known personalities taking on well-known incumbents — in Johnson’s case the redoubtable incumbent Cheyenne Johnson, who, during her electoral career as Shelby County Assessor, was able to win consistently as a Democrat, even during Republicandominated election eras.

Says Frank Johnson: “I have taught school, worked on the primary board with the Shelby County Democrats [and have been] a grassroots committee representative for District 10. Also, I continue to work around the issue of environmental justice and the problems with lead in our drinking water.”

None of this is meant to downplay the virtues or potential of other candidates unmentioned here, many of them well-known, several of them respected incumbents.

This column is meant to extol the fact that this year’s candidate field is varied.

In several appearances, Johnson has made much of his upbringing in southeast Memphis, “next to the Defense Depot, one of the most contaminated areas in the city.” He speaks convincingly of a history of contamination and of serious, lifethreatening illness experienced by his own mother and sister from the effect of “living next to mustard-gas canisters in the ground.”

Johnson is passionate about the subject of gentrification, which he defines as a way “they get us [the city’s underserved] out of our properties … in both black and white areas.” continued on page 8

POLITICS continued from page 7 He characterizes gentrification as “Reaganomics revisited,” a mode of development whereby “we give rich people money and hope they come back and give us some of that money.”

He maintains, “Our mayor’s offices, our councils, our commissions have all been compromised by this corporate money.

“There was a time in the 1980s,” he continues, “when there were grocery stores on every corner. There was equity in our communities, but we’ve been starved of money. They bait us with bags of money, wanting us to decorate our communities before they take them from us. We need to reinvest in our communities, renovate our homes, rehabilitate our schools, and pay a living wage.”

Much of that indictment is rhetorical, of course, and needs to be documented with incontrovertible fact, but it speaks to a growing perception among many that developers now have a stranglehold on city government.

Several of the other impressive new faces this year adorn the ballot of the much-ballyhooed People’s Convention II that met in early June under the auspices of the Rev. Earle Fisher et al: Pearl Eva Walker in Super District 8 Position 1; Mauricio Calvo in Super District 9, Position 2; Michalyn Easter-Thomas in District 7 (whose stock has risen in proportion to the piling-up mishaps of another challenger to incumbent Berlin Boyd, Thurston Smith); Erika Sugarmon in District 9, Position 1, who is a bridge to civil rights tradition and the Democratic mainstream.

There are such impressive newcomers as Jerred Price, who comes from the field of music and is yet another alternative in District 7; Cat Allen in Super District 8, Position 3; and John Emery in District 2.

And there is a reprise appearance on the ballot of the reform-minded John Marek in District 5.

None of this is meant to downplay the virtues or potential of other candidates unmentioned here, many of them well-known, several of them respected incumbents. This column is meant merely to extol the fact that this year’s candidate field is unusually rich and varied, and, win or lose, many of its members will continue to be heard from, one way or another.

• Steve Cohen and Jim Cooper, Democratic congressmen from Tennessee districts 9 and 5, respectively, have co-sponsored H.R. 4464, the Ranked Choice Voting Act, which would require the use of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for all federal Congressional elections in the United States.

RCV, which allows for majority winners in multi-candidate races by resampling and redistributing ballots of runner-up candidates, was approved

by Memphis voters in a 2008 referendum and re-approved in a second referendum in 2018, and was originally scheduled by Election Administrator Linda Phillips to use in the current city election. But a combination of opposition from incumbent Council members and the state Election Coordinator’s office managed to stymie the effort for now.

The law sought by Cohen and Cooper would apply only to federal elections, however, not state or local ones.

VIEWPOINT By Richard Cohen

Last Dance

THE BEST

have done it for nothing.

Back in 2017, I helped produce a documentary for HBO on the life of Ben Bradlee. HBO called it The Newspaperman, and I thought, how wonderful, how apt. That was Bradlee and, with the same permission he gave me to write a column, I take that appellation for myself as well. It is, I think, the highest of callings, and I never wanted to be anything else. You go to work and someone pins an imaginary badge on you and deputizes you to go forth and discover life, ask questions, turn over rocks, and, in the case of a column, think so hard it’s physically draining.

I had grown up reading the onceliberal New York Post. It was a brave, scrappy paper with great, iconoclastic writers, particularly its columnists. I gorged on Murray Kempton, Jimmy Cannon, and Pete Hamill. I read them all, envied them all, and wanted to be like them. Later, I became a copyboy for the New York Herald Tribune and noticed that reporters were required to read the paper. They got paid for it. Amazing.

Professional ballplayers must feel the same way. Imagine getting paid to play a game!

You go to work and someone pins an imaginary badge on you and deputizes you to go forth and discover life, ask questions, turn over rocks, and think so hard it’s physically draining.

That first day at the Post, I was assigned a desk next to Carl Bernstein.

We became fast friends and so, like a barnacle on a ship, I attached myself to him and Bob Woodward, going through Watergate with them. Earlier, I watched in awe and pride as the Post risked all sorts of legal and financial penalties to publish the Pentagon Papers after The New York Times had been enjoined from doing so.

This was one great newspaper that I had just walked into. Again, what luck!

Now, it is over. I have written books and screenplays and will continue to do so. My girlfriend and I are going to Paris for a month, and we’re getting a dog. I will have time to walk it now. I will miss newspapering, but I know I had the best it ever had to offer.

I was very lucky indeed.

This is Richard Cohen’s last column for the Washington Post Writers Group.

I’ve been lucky.

In February 1968, I came down to Washington from the Columbia University Gaduate School of Journalism to do some research, stopped up at The Washington Post, and walked out with a job. A week later, for reasons I never understood, I got a raise. After graduating in June, I started work, and now, 51 years later, I am about to stop. This is my final column. I think I’ve earned that raise.

In 1976, eight years after I started, I was offered a local column. Ben Bradlee, the executive editor, made the offer at a lunch I had requested so I could tell him I was quitting. A rival news organization had offered to make me its White House correspondent. But before I could resign, Bradlee upset my plans. I never got around to quitting and never told Bradlee I had intended to.

I was lucky.

Bradlee asked me to show him five sample columns. Instead, knowing I need the juice of a deadline, I wrote one the next day and gave it to the city editor. “I’m the new local columnist,” I brazenly told him. “Check with Bradlee.” He never did.

The next day, my column was in the paper.

I was lucky.

Back then, I wrote three columns a week — an exhausting but exhilarating schedule. Little by little, I broadened my scope until, in Bradlee’s telling, he picked up the paper one day and discovered that I was in Beirut. By fiat, he moved me from the Metro page to the A Section and, later, at the insistence of the publisher, to the op-ed page. I wrote what I wanted from where I wanted, and not once did the publishers ever tell me what to write or what not to write. On occasion, though, Katharine Graham offered some constructive criticism.

Once, at a formal lunch for the new Russian ambassador, she strode purposely across the dining room to tell me that my column that morning “was a real piece of s---.”

“Don’t hold back, Katharine,” I responded. “Tell me what you really think.”

She laughed.

There were no better bosses than the Grahams — and, more recently, Jeff Bezos. I roamed the world on their dime. Flying into Cairo for the first time, I looked out the window. A sandstorm obscured the pyramids, but I envisioned them anyway and could not get over the fact that I was being paid to see them.

What fools the Grahams were. I would

How Eddie Murphy and Craig Brewer created a raucous tribute to a hero of black cinema.

October 3-9, 2019

I

t’s July 2018, and the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles is teeming with activity. The old movie palace’s basement is packed with background actors getting dressed and made up in ’70s finery — bell bottoms, afros, and clashing patterns — to appear in Dolemite Is My Name.

On one side of the cavernous lobby is “video village,” where technicians, producers, and crew huddle around monitors, adjust controls, and clutch headphones to their ears, watching the action onscreen. On the other side of the lobby, director Craig Brewer and cinematographer Eric Steelberg are setting up a tracking shot with a pair of stand-ins. Once they’re satisfied that the complex choreography of camera, lighting, and extras is right, a call goes out from the assistant director. “Clear the set.”

Eddie Murphy is ready for his close-up.

You Can’t Remake Dolemite A year later, Brewer is on the phone in Brooklyn, where, the day before, he 16 shot scenes for Coming 2 America with James Earl Jones. Dolemite Is My Name

has just had a triumphant premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival, with the first audiences raving about Murphy’s performance.

I ask Brewer how he came to helm the film for Netflix.

“I had heard that there were rumblings that they were trying to remake Dolemite. As much as my mind always tries to go to a place of, ‘How can Dolemite be remade?’

There’s the basic story of a man who’s in prison, who, for whatever reason, is let out, now into a different world, where everything he had is now under the control of somebody else … then I thought, ‘Craig. Stop. Footloose, maybe. Some other movies, maybe. But Dolemite is special because it’s funny.’

You can’t just do an action drama out of Dolemite. It’s beautiful because of its production flaws, and that’s why — especially among independent filmmakers — we love it so much.

Of all the blaxploitation movies, it’s perhaps the most incredulous and head-scratching. I can’t even think about doing a Dolemite remake.

“Then my agent called me a year later and said, ‘We have the script called Dolemite Is My Name, and I think you should read it.’ I don’t

think I’m the guy for it because I just don’t think that it can be redone. He said, ‘Wait a minute. This is a script from Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander. It’s about Rudy Ray Moore making Dolemite, and Eddie Murphy’s going to play him.’ And I said YES! He said, ‘Well I think you should read the script first, and I think you should talk to the producers …’ And I was like, ‘Of course, but if you’re looking for my response, I’m in.’”

Everything Falls Apart Rudy Ray Moore grew up the son of a sharecropper in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

As soon as he was old enough, he moved to Los Angeles to try to make it in show business. He tried first as a singer, then as a comedian, then a combination of both, before he created the character of Dolemite, a big-talking street pimp whose rhyming braggadocio translated into a series of hit “party records” — comedy routines often backed by slinky soul music, packed with dirty words, street wisdom, and transgressive situations. After a series of unlikely, underground hits (which included a Dolemite Christmas

album), he leveraged his fame in the African-American community into making an independent movie based on the character. At the time, the term for films aimed at the inner city markets was “blaxploitation.”

“What makes Dolemite so special is that it’s one of a kind,” says Karaszewski. “A lot of the blaxploitation movies are trying to be sort of generic action pictures with African-American leads. That made them special and cool because you hadn’t seen African Americans in those roles before, where they were tough cops. But Rudy’s movie goes to another level on top of that.

He’s making fun of the genre, while also trying to be the genre at the same time.

He’s a comedian. They were meant to be laughed at. But they were also meant to be, ‘Look at that! It’s a cool car chase!’”

Karaszewski and his writing partner Alexander met in film school and have been working together for more than two decades. They often finish each other’s thoughts. “Shaft, Superfly, Black Caesar are kind of urban action films,” Alexander says. “They’re taking their leading men seriously. They’re cool, they’re good-looking, they’ve got goodlooking chicks, the gun, and the suit.

Rudy is a doughy comic who is not an

actor, and he cannot do kung fu. But he was making the movie he wanted to see. He wanted to have kung fu and ladies and car chases. …” “… and he made it through sheer force of personality,” says Karaszewski.

“It comes out on the screen.”

Alexander and Karaszewski wrote the 1994 classic, Ed Wood. Directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the real-life “worst director ever,” the film earned an Academy Award for Martin Landau’s portrayal of the original Dracula, Bela Lugosi. “When we meet big-time, successful directors, a lot of times they’ll pull us aside and say, ‘I feel just like Ed Wood.’ That’s the whole point of the Orson Welles scene toward the end of the movie. It doesn’t matter if you’re the best filmmaker of all time or the worst filmmaker of all time, you still have the same problems,” says Karaszewski.

Among the fans of Ed Wood was one Eddie Murphy.

When the man who saved Saturday Night Live, the star of Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, and Coming to America, saw the film in the mid-1990s, he called up Alexander and Karaszewski with a proposition. A week later, the three of them were in a room with Rudy Ray Moore. “He told us what he would like to see in a movie about his life and that Eddie would be perfect for the part,” says Alexander. “We thought, ‘Oh my

god, this is going to be the greatest movie of all time!’ And then it just fell to pieces. That’s what happens in Hollywood — you get excited, and nine times out of 10, nothing happens.”

Craig Brewer knows that feeling. He’s been riding the Hollywood roller coaster since 2005, when Hustle & Flow

rescue, set a record when it was bought

by Paramount for $9 million in a late-night, Park City, Utah, bidding war. It went on to win an Academy Award for Three 6 Mafia’s “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” and earn a Best Actor nomination for its star, Terrence Howard.

For a movie made on a shoestring

became a breakout hit at the Sundance Film Festival. The film, which Brewer fought for years to get financed before producer John Singleton rode to the

budget in Memphis, Hustle has had an extraordinary cultural impact, becoming a staple on cable television and inspiring Memphis Grizzlies fans

Stuck in Turnaround

to adopt “Whoop That Trick” as an unofficial fight song. The scenes of Howard, Taraji P. Henson, DJ Qualls, and Anthony Anderson creating music in a North Memphis shotgun house have been copied endlessly by filmmakers looking to create inspirational moments.

Brewer’s controversial next film, Black Snake Moan, gave Samuel L. Jackson one of the best roles of his long career and introduced the phrase “chained to the radiator” into the lexicon.

Brewer gained a reputation as an excellent script doctor, and, in 2011, he was tapped by Paramount Pictures to remake their seminal 1984 dance movie Footloose. The next year, he stepped in as executive producer to save the troubled Katie Perry movie Part of Me, and it became the seventh-highest grossing documentary of all time. He was clearly Memphis’ most successful filmmaker and had an enviable career by any Hollywood standards.

After Footloose, Brewer was attached to write and direct The Legend of Tarzan for Warner Brothers.

exclusive club of directors trusted with $100-million budgets. He wrote a screenplay that turned heads in Hollywood, but studio politics tore the production apart, and, amid spiraling budget estimates and executive turmoil, the project was shelved.

When The Legend of Tarzan was eventually completed in 2016, Brewer’s script formed the backbone of the picture, but he still had to fight for his screenwriting credit.

What the public didn’t see were the dozens of projects that never got off the ground. There was Maggie Lynn, a music epic Brewer wrote about a country singer rocketing to fame; there was Mother Trucker, a script about the infamous Tennessee inmate who broke out of jail and stole Crystal Gayle’s tour bus in an effort to visit his dying mother. He pitched a Star Wars movie to Lucasfilm honcho Kathleen Kennedy and a reboot of The Creature From the Black Lagoon to Universal. Nothing gained any traction.

At the same time, his long marriage to wife Jodi Brewer was on the rocks.

The pair eventually separated but did not divorce. Brewer felt like his

life was falling apart. “I bought a big house,” he says. “I bought into a lot of the trappings of being a successful filmmaker. And then suddenly, some of those things began to dry up, and I got very scared. … Movies have been going through such a change, and I was beginning to get really bitter about it.

Tarzan and that whole developments situation was not ideal, and I had been trying to get these other movies going with the studio system, any way I could, and it just wasn’t happening.”

It was friends from his past who brought him back. In 2015, Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, whom Brewer made stars in Hustle & Flow, became the lead actors on Empire, a wildly successful Fox show created

by Lee Daniels. “I would say it’s quite true that if John Singleton helped start my career,” says Brewer, “Lee Daniels helped bring me back.”

Daniels hired Brewer for the second season of Empire. “I wanted to be in a room working with a bunch of other writers. I wanted to be on set filming somebody else’s vision. I’d like to just be a director and just be a writer for a while and help the product be the best it can be and hopefully bring my best to it. It was just so fortunate that I got to

“Does Eddie Really Want to Do This?”

In 1996, Alexander and Karaszewski wrote The People vs. Larry Flynt. “We had such a good time shooting that movie in Memphis,” says Alexander.

“We got to know D’Army Bailey. He was a blast. As soon as [director] Milos Forman met him, he said, ‘Let’s turn him into an actor.’”

Later, Karaszewski would become a regular at the Indie Memphis Film Festival, serving on juries and just coming back to have fun and watch movies. In 2016, Alexander and Karaszewski wrote and produced the 10-episode miniseries The People vs.

O.J. Simpson for the FX anthology show American Crime Story. It became a ratings sensation and was nominated for 22 Emmy Awards, ultimately winning nine, including Outstanding Limited Series and awards for actors Sterling K. Brown, Sarah Paulson, and Courtney B. Vance.

“I bought a big house,” Craig Brewer says.

“I bought into a lot of the trappings of being a successful filmmaker.

And then suddenly, some of those things began to dry up.”

“After we did the O.J. thing, a lot of people wanted to do projects with us,” says Karaszewski. The writing partners decided to use the opportunity to revisit some dream projects that had failed to launch, like the Rudy Ray Moore story. “We had producers John Davis and John Fox contact Eddie to see if he was still into this idea. Not only was he ready, he was eager. That’s how we got to Netflix.”

Murphy, who was semi-retired, wowed the Netflix executives at the pitch meeting. “Eddie is very open about this,” says Alexander. “He says, ‘I

was just enjoying sitting on my couch, playing with my kids, and hanging out.’

He has a whole brood. Coming in to Netflix, they said, ‘Does Eddie really want to do this?’ So Eddie showed up at the Netflix meeting and summoned his superpowers. He turned into Rudy and started doing ‘Signifying Monkey.’ The Netflix people were like, ‘Holy shit! This is for real!’ Larry and I barely opened our mouths in that pitch meeting. You got Eddie in the room doing it. What more do you want?”

Karaszewski suggested they talk to Brewer for the director slot. “It was my first time meeting Craig, and I was blown away,” says Alexander. “He said,

‘It’s a movie about duality’, and no one else had actually said that out loud.”

The Man Who Was Fearless Once word of Murphy’s commitment to the project got out, Keegan-Michael Key signed on as Jerry Jones, the playwright Moore enlists to script his dream project. Chris Rock and Snoop Dogg got cameos as DJs who helped Moore in his career. Mike Epps and Craig Robinson became members of Moore’s entourage. But the biggest get was Wesley Snipes as D’Urville Martin, the blaxploitation star who appeared in

Black Caesar and whom Moore cajoled into directing Dolemite.

Brewer says he came to identify deeply with his subject. “Rudy Ray Moore made his own records. He forged his own path. I couldn’t help but feel a connection to it. There were many times that I thought, I know that because of the material that I’m drawn to and even the mentors in my life, like John Singleton and Stephanie Allain, and more recently Lee Daniels, I know that there’s a lot of material that I have that has predominantly AfricanAmerican stories, and I did begin to continued on page 58

do Empire. I loved the show so much, and I loved what Lee had created: his beautifully subversive, outlandish antics that I think break down walls, not just with race, with culture, with class, but just what people would think is appropriate.”

Brewer worked in the Empire writer’s room for three seasons, directing 10 episodes. Brewer says he found his joy “just writing scripts, being in a room with a bunch of creative people, and learning to listen, trying to not perform all the time.”

Tiger Thoughts Three developments concerning U of M football.

So our first lesson: Football teams aren’t memorialized for strong starts.

Rather, it’s strong finishes that get carved in granite. The Tigers’ start is no mirage. They’ve beaten an SEC foe (Ole Miss) and a team that’s given them fits since becoming a conference rival (Navy). The four wins have the Tigers ranked 23rd in the country in one poll (coaches) and on the cusp of entering the AP rankings. The unblemished record is absolutely required for any discussion of an American Athletic Conference championship (SMU is also 4-0), to say nothing of a berth in a New Year’s Six bowl game. (There are currently three “Group of Five” teams in the AP Top 25: Boise State, UCF, and SMU.) Going undefeated for a third of the season is worthy of recognition,

• The Tigers have a .500 record for the decade, and this is also significant.

Memphis has been playing football since 1912, but the program has only enjoyed four decades with more wins than losses, and the most recent was the 1970s (60-48-1). After starting the current decade by going 3-21 over two seasons under coach Larry Porter, Memphis has managed to climb to .500 (59-59) with a stretch that will include six consecutive winning seasons for the first time in more than a half-century (1959-64). Even Fuente was 10 games under .500 after his first two seasons (7-17). The Tigers must finish the season with at least four more wins than losses, of course, to secure a break-even mark for the decade. The achievement would be a significant statement on the big-picture rise of a program once considered little more than a fall distraction before basketball season tipped off.

• Brady White became a star quarterback in the win over Navy.

It’s ironic, considering the boos White heard during the first half of last Thursday’s game as the Midshipmen took a 20-7 lead. But the Tigers don’t beat Navy without White’s right arm.

Over a 15-minute stretch of the second half, White threw touchdown passes of short (5 yards), long (73), and intermediate (31) length to erase that deficit and give the Tigers a key win over an AAC division rival.

White heard the boos, but he smiled (slightly) when asked about them after the game, noting that they bother his parents more than they affect his approach or performance.

“My mindset is the next play,” emphasized White, who ignores social media during the season, relishes various platforms for impacting lives positively as an athlete in the spotlight. “I’m my biggest critic. I wasn’t playing like myself [in the first half].

But I settled down; I knew I had the support. The defense kept us close. We came out and executed. I’m blessed to have the teammates and coaching staff we have.” White isn’t the only prominent Tiger feeling blessed in these undefeated days. “That guy is pretty dang special,” added Tiger coach Mike Norvell. “I’m glad to coach him.”

NEWS & OPINION

H

ow significant is the Tigers’ 4-0 start?

Since World War II, the Memphis program has boasted a 4-0 record exactly three times. In 1961, coach Spook Murphy’s Tigers started 6-0 before losing (to Mississippi State) in late October and finishing the season 8-2.

Then in 2015, Justin Fuente — and quarterback Paxton Lynch — helped Memphis win its first eight games and climb to a ranking of 15th in the country. Alas, that Tiger team lost four of its last five games before Fuente departed for Virginia Tech.

By Julia Baker

Michal Menert, a Polish-American electronic music producer known for his experimentation with nu jazz, hip-hop, and trip-hop sounds and for his collaborations with fellow electronic artist Pretty Lights and Grateful Dead and Dead & Company percussionist Mickey Hart, makes his way to Growlers to perform a solo DJ set.

Although he’s not specifically promoting it, his latest album Slow Coast III, released in March, features a range of experimental techniques and instruments, such as the taishōgoto (a Japanese stringed instrument).

“A long time ago, we realized we’ll never have a perfectly tuned and precise studio at home, so instead of making things sound perfect and sterile, we started to purposely pursue terrible sounding things that we could refine into interesting tunes,” says Menert. “I feel lucky that I’ve been able to do things on my own terms, without having to cater to trends.”

The album, a third installment of Menert’s Slow Coast series, was inspired by his love for fantasy and for the Northern California coast.

“This installment of Slow Coast was inspired by a hazy fantasy realm I was imagining while piecing it together,” he says. “I pictured dark skies, a sorcerer returning from exile, and a world of destructive chaos desperate for magic. All of these things play out in my mind with the rocky coasts and giant redwood forests around me serving as backgrounds, even though the narrative isn’t necessarily apparent in the music itself.”

Between finding the right balance between touring and recording, Menert is looking forward to his performance in Memphis.

“One of my favorite people, Brock from Zoogma, is from there, and he’s definitely shown me a hell of a good time with great people in Memphis,” he says.

It’s all in the hips.

Go With the Flow Ellen Phillips twirled her LED hula hoop around the dance floor at the new Black Lodge on Cleveland during CooperYoung Fest weekend, spinning out custom patterns like cartoon slices of pizza and Mario Kart mushrooms.

I approached her and asked where she got such a stunning hula hoop. She handed me her hoop and replied, “Here, do you want to play with it?”

A novice at best, I spun the hoop around my waist for a moment, wishing I’d known more hoop tricks.

As it turns out, Phillips is a professional hooper and a leader of Grind City Flow Festival, a team of instructors dedicated to providing the Memphis community with flow arts workshops. The group has organized a series of hoop instruction and choreography classes for attendees at Paint Memphis, an annual one-day festival committed to bringing artists together for a collaborative mural project.

“So someone comes in, learns to waist hoop, learns to hoop juggle, does a little fun paint hooping,” she says. “We’ll drill holes in some of the hoops and put paint inside them, and hoopers will just spin the hoop around their waist, and they’ll be creating art.”

Phillips and her colleague, Hallie Star, will also lead a flash mob choreography workshop, teaching basic tricks and moves to students, who will use what they’ve learned to perform alongside Mighty Souls Brass Band at the festival.

“Everyone’s invited to come out,” she says. “It doesn’t matter what gender or size you are. Hooping is good for everyone.

And we’re excited to be hosting the first official World Hoop Day celebration in Memphis.”

ONE CARD. MANY CHOICES.

W

hat do Congressman Steve Cohen, psychedelic swampabily band the Hellcats, and the Sex Pistols all have in common?

They share a connection to the Antenna club, Memphis’ first alternative venue, a music space and bar that catered to all things weird and wild in the Bluff City. Rep. Cohen was the club’s attorney, the Hellcats were one of the bands who played there.

And the Sex Pistols, many Antenna patrons agree, fired the shot that helped kick off the enterprise.

The Antenna opened in 1981 and closed in 1995; in its place now are an event rental space and the new Crab ’N Go restaurant. But the storied Madison Avenue venue will get its due this Saturday, October 5th, with the unveiling of a historic marker, followed by musical performances by Antennaera bands at nearby venues. The day before the unveiling, C. Scott McCoy’s (aka Flyer film editor Chris McCoy) award-winning Antenna documentary will screen at Black Lodge, with an after-party at the Lamplighter.

With the closure of Stax Records in 1976 and the death of Elvis Presley in ’77, the Memphis music scene entered a state of suspended animation. Bands still played, but the forward momentum was stalled.

Then, in 1978, the Sex Pistols played Memphis, providing the jolt the city needed. That spark of inspiration ignited a thousand (or at least a dozen) punk bands, according to former Antenna owner Steve McGehee.

“When the Sex Pistols played here in Memphis, it really launched a lot of the music I was doing. It was like, ‘Oh, well, I can do this,’” McGehee recalls. “It’s the same thing with me with the club. I went to Atlanta and New York. I was wanting to open a club, and I would go in, and they were just dives. I was like, ‘I could do this.’”

That punk rock ethos informed much of what became the Antenna. Inspired by the Sex Pistols and led by Tav Falco’s Panther Burns (featuring Alex Chilton), the Randy Band, the Scruffs, and the Klitz when the club was called the Well, the venue was an oasis of reckless originality.

“It was the home base for the DIY movement,” says Doug Easley of the venue, founder of Easley McCain Recording, the studio that eventually drew bands such as Sonic Youth,

Pavement, and Wilco to Memphis. That was well after acts like Panther Burns, Pezz, and the Grifters had already cut tracks there. Easley was a fixture at the Antenna, sometimes playing with bands there, sometimes recording those bands in his home studio.

One of the bands who cut its teeth on Antenna’s stage was Distemper, featuring a young Mike McCarthy, a fixture of the Memphis arts and music scene. It was McCarthy McGehee turned to when he decided it was time to secure the Antenna’s place in history.

“Mike McCarthy is quite a force of nature,” McGehee says. “He’s preserving a lot of music history.” McCarthy, who sculpted the new Johnny Cash statue in Cooper-Young, helped set the historical marker machine in motion. “We were approved by unanimous vote,” McGehee says. “I was kind of surprised by that because of always being the punk rocker and being vilified back in the day.”

“A lot of people were afraid of the Antenna. They were totally freaked out by it. They were afraid they’d get spit on or something,” Easley adds.

All this is covered in depth in the Antenna documentary, along with clips of dozens of bands and gloriously camp black-and-white footage of a bespectacled Tav Falco, holding a large tome and hypnotically reciting clever asides about the club’s early years.

Antenna hosted local and national bands of vastly different sounds — punk, hardcore, country, and new wave — and pioneered all-ages shows in the city. It was, essentially, a box with a PA system and a bar. But for 15 years, that box gave Memphians a place to play, to experiment with sound and stage presence. And that is something worth remembering.

Screening of the Antenna documentary Friday, October 4th, 7 p.m., at Black Lodge. Alex Greene & the Weeds play the Lamplighter October 4th after the screening. The marker unveiling is Saturday, October 5th, 4:30 p.m., at 1588 Madison. Antenna bands will perform at Murphy’s, B-Side, and the Lamplighter Lounge after the ceremony.

Important Facts About DOVATO

October 3-9, 2019

This is only a brief summary of important information about DOVATO and does not replace talking to your healthcare provider about your condition and treatment.

What is the Most Important Information I Should Know about DOVATO? If you have both human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, DOVATO can cause serious side effects, including: • Resistant HBV infection. Your healthcare provider will test you for HBV infection before you start treatment with DOVATO. If you have HIV-1 and hepatitis B, the hepatitis B virus can change (mutate) during your treatment with DOVATO and become harder to treat (resistant). It is not known if DOVATO is safe and effective in people who have HIV-1 and HBV infection.

• Worsening of HBV infection. If you have HIV-1 and HBV infection, your HBV may get worse (flare-up) if you stop taking DOVATO. A “flare-up” is when your HBV infection suddenly returns in a worse way than before. Worsening liver disease can be serious and may lead to death. ° Do not run out of DOVATO. Refill your prescription or talk to your healthcare provider before your DOVATO is all gone. ° Do not stop DOVATO without first talking to your healthcare provider. If you stop taking DOVATO, your healthcare provider will need to check your health often and do blood tests regularly for several months to check your liver.

What is DOVATO? DOVATO is a prescription medicine that is used without other antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV-1 infection in adults: who have not received antiretroviral medicines in the past, and without known resistance to the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine.

HIV-1 is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It is not known if DOVATO is safe and effective in children.

Who should not take DOVATO? Do Not Take DOVATO if You: • have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine that contains dolutegravir or lamivudine.

• take dofetilide.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before using DOVATO? Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • have or have had liver problems, including hepatitis B or C infection.

• have kidney problems.

• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. One of the medicines in DOVATO (dolutegravir) may harm your unborn baby. ° You should not take DOVATO if you are planning to become pregnant or during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different medicine if you are planning to become pregnant or become pregnant during treatment with DOVATO. ° If you can become pregnant, your healthcare provider will perform a pregnancy test before you start treatment with DOVATO. ° If you can become pregnant, you should consistently use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with DOVATO. ° Tell your healthcare provider right away if you are planning to become pregnant, you become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant during treatment with DOVATO.

Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: (cont’d) • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed if you take DOVATO. ° You should not breastfeed if you have HIV-1 because of the risk of passing HIV-1 to your baby.

One of the medicines in DOVATO (lamivudine) passes into your breastmilk. ° Talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby. ° Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Some medicines interact with DOVATO. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

• You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with DOVATO. • Do not start taking a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take DOVATO with other medicines.

What are Possible Side Effects of DOVATO? DOVATO can cause serious side effects, including: • Those in the “What is the Most Important Information I Should Know about DOVATO?” section.

• Allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider right away if you develop a rash with DOVATO. Stop taking DOVATO and get medical help right away if you develop a rash with any of the following signs or symptoms: fever; generally ill feeling; tiredness; muscle or joint aches; blisters or sores in mouth; blisters or peeling of the skin; redness or swelling of the eyes; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; problems breathing.

• Liver problems. People with a history of hepatitis B or C virus may have an increased risk of developing new or worsening changes in certain liver tests during treatment with DOVATO. Liver problems, including liver failure, have also happened in people without a history of liver disease or other risk factors. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check your liver.

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms of liver problems: your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice); dark or “tea-colored” urine; light-colored stools (bowel movements); nausea or vomiting; loss of appetite; and/or pain, aching, or tenderness on the right side of your stomach area.

• Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis). Lactic acidosis is a serious medical emergency that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms that could be signs of lactic acidosis: feel very weak or tired; unusual (not normal) muscle pain; trouble breathing; stomach pain with nausea and vomiting; feel cold, especially in your arms and legs; feel dizzy or lightheaded; and/or a fast or irregular heartbeat.

• Lactic acidosis can also lead to severe liver problems, which can lead to death. Your liver may become large (hepatomegaly) and you may develop fat in your liver (steatosis). Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the signs or symptoms of liver problems which are listed above under “Liver problems.” You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or severe liver problems if you are female or very overweight (obese).

SO MUCH GOES INTO WHO I AM HIV MEDICINE IS ONE PART OF IT. Reasons to ask your doctor about DOVATO: DOVATO can help you reach and then stay undetectable* with just 2 medicines in 1 pill.

That means fewer medicines† in your body while taking DOVATO

You can take it any time of day with or without food (around the same time each day)—giving you flexibility

DOVATO is a once-a-day complete treatment for adults who are new to HIV-1 medicine.

Results may vary. *Undetectable means reducing the HIV in your blood to very low levels (less than 50 copies per mL). † As compared with 3-drug regimens.

What are Possible Side Effects of DOVATO (cont’d)?

• Changes in your immune system (Immune Reconstitution Syndrome) can happen when you start taking HIV-1 medicines.

Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time.

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you start having new symptoms after you start taking DOVATO. • The most common side effects of DOVATO include: headache; diarrhea; nausea; trouble sleeping; and tiredness.

These are not all the possible side effects of DOVATO. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

medicine that penetrates the hair follicles.

Today, Spillers is an advocate for others going through the breast cancer experience. Her oncologist refers patients interested in doing cold caps to her to guide them through the process. “It usually turns into more as they find out I have been through everything,” she says. “I often talk to them several times, helping them through their journey.

People will send others my way just for encouragement.”

Spillers, 41, and her family relocated from Abilene, Texas, to the Memphis area two years ago after her husband, now a FedEx pilot, retired from the Air Force.

Shortly after the move, she went through that second breast cancer journey and was treated at West Cancer Center in Germantown. “Today I have an excellent prognosis,” Spillers says. “I’ve been cancer free for a year.”

Bridgett Spillers

F

amily Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Bridgett Spillers’ life changed on October 15, 2015.

“I was going through my nightly routine and had a slight itch on my back,” she says.

“I reached around to scratch and felt something odd in my left breast.”

As an FNP — and with sites like WebMD at our fingertips — Spillers knows it’s easy to self-diagnose.

“Sometimes too much knowledge is a curse,” she says. But she was sure what she felt was a lump, despite having a clinical breast exam done two months prior and receiving a negative result on a breast cancer gene risk test. It would be two weeks before she could get in to see an oncologist, but “after a battery of tests,” Spillers says, “I was diagnosed with HER2positive breast cancer.”

The earliest stages of a cancer diagnosis are often the most arduous, she adds.

“There are more questions than answers, and no matter how hard you try, it’s difficult not to think the worst.” HER2 is an aggressive cancer. She thought about her husband and three young children — would she be there for them? What would happen to her career? What about a mastectomy, chemo, radiation? Spillers says her emotional turning point came after meeting with an oncologist and formulating a plan because “every day of waiting was delaying the fight and hurting my chances of a successful outcome.”

Spillers went through six rounds of chemotherapy, but after the fourth, the treatment plan “was validated,” she says, “because the tumor was undetectable via ultrasound.” After chemo, she underwent a double mastectomy, followed later by reconstruction. A follow-up biopsy showed she “had a pathological complete response — no detectable cancer.

“For about six months, my life was back to normal, cancer was in my rearview, or so I thought,” Spillers says.

But, like before, it started with an itch …

The cancer came back.

The second time around, Spillers had a lumpectomy, followed by 12 weeks of chemo, six weeks of radiation, and another year of antibodies. “My hair had just grown back,” she says, “so I was determined to try to preserve it. I’d heard about cold caps, so I researched and decided to give it a try. It was cumbersome but preserved my newly grown hair.”

Cold caps are worn by some cancer patients to help reduce hair loss by decreasing the amount of chemo

Statistics suggest one in eight women will develop breast cancer. And Spillers says, “Early detection is key. Having routine check-ups important, but doing self-exams is just as important. Periodic exams help you get used to how your breast tissue feels, so that you can feel when something is different.”

If you or a loved one receives a breast cancer diagnosis, Spillers says to talk with your health-care provider to learn about treatment options and devise a plan of attack that’s best for you. But perhaps most importantly, remain positive. “It is a long journey,” she says. “Approaching it one step at a time makes it more bearable. I have a saying: Keep your faith, have hope, and choose joy. I make an effort to choose joy, even when I struggle.”

noises of sea waves, chanting mobs, and sword play, sounds that are effectively combined with strategic lighting cues during the play itself; and the haunting music by the Westerlies suggests darker tones.

But all of this seems to work at cross-purposes with the flat-white lighting palette.

Similar cross-purposes are at work in the cast as well. In many cases, this enhances the play, as when Michael Khanlarian, as Caesar, evokes arrogance and benevolence in equal measure. This is true to the work’s refusal to paint any character as a villain, yet also can undercut the dramatic need for Caesar’s power grab to be so outrageous that assassination seems the only option left to the conspirators. As it is, their motivation to kill their leader, and their inner struggle with such motivation, seems lost in the face of Caesar’s geniality.

JOEY MILLER/TSC

I

t has been said that Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar is a play without villains, and that makes its tragedy all the more poignant. The point of the drama may be that violent solutions to political struggles will only backfire in the end, no matter how noble the intentions of its perpetrators. As a corollary, the play demands that we see both good and bad in all political actors, irrespective of their ideologies.

It’s a point that Tennessee Shakespeare Company’s (TSC) production of the play, which opened last Friday and continues through Sunday, October 6th, conveys well. And in the current divisive political era, it’s perhaps the message we most need to hear.

The Bard seemed to intuit the drama’s universal themes. After Caesar’s death, Cassius pauses to ask, “How many ages hence shall this our lofty scene be acted over, in states unborn and accents yet unkown?” Yet the perennial relevance of the play can obscure its deep ambivalence about seizing power by any means necessary.

TSC’s staging avoids any literalist trappings, and thus remains true to the play’s original evenhandedness. True, the program does reprint, without comment, the Declaration of Independence (like the play, slightly abridged by the company), suggesting obliquely that we apply its lessons to our own country and time. But beyond that, director and company founder Dan McCleary avoids any overt linkage of the drama to our age.

That was obvious before the play even began on opening night, when McCleary welcomed the audience to TSC’s “history museum.” It’s an accurate description of the set created by scenic designer Brian Ruggaber, a multi-level faux-marble courtyard dotted with displays of Roman swords and ruined statuary. The lighting design by Jeremy Allen Fisher accentuates this by largely favoring the full illumination of a museum display. The overall effect suggests that the narrative’s events be seen at a safe remove.

While such an approach can emphasize Julius Caesar’s universality, it can also mute the darker elements of the story. Visions of the bloody dead rising up to speak to the guilty lose their frightful, gothic edge when so brilliantly illuminated. And yet the imaginative sound design by Eric Sefton compensates for this to a degree.

Even while being seated, one hears the

Marc Antony (Phil Darius Wallace) and Caesar (Michael Khanlarian)

Nonetheless, Paul Bernardo brings a gravitas and urgency to Cassius that evokes enough inner torment over the decisions he and the other conspirators make to fuel the play’s momentum.

And Phil Darius Wallace may well be this production’s most valuable player, portraying both the noble Marc Antony and the doddering, comedic Casca with equal aplomb.

The actor’s challenge with all Elizabethan writing is to deliver the lines with enough nuance and dynamism to suggest real conversation, as opposed to recitation. These two fine thespians excel at this, with the rest of the cast following suit for much of the production. Yet the overall effect is to present the story somewhat abstractly: as a well-lit thought experiment, set out on a pedestal, ripe for contemplation.

In the end, that may be the truest way to make this historical drama relevant to today’s climate of authoritarianism and resistance.

Planner to search for potential terms to target. Cannabis also makes the list of prohibited content on Google AdWords.

Thanks to all of this, CBD companies can’t use pay-per-click ads for advertising.

An Arkansas company is side-stepping some of this by influencing social-media influencers. Little Rock-based Tree of Life Seeds launched its “CBDisLife” campaign last week.

“What we’re doing is reaching out to social media gurus with large audiences who use CBD oil,” said Jason Martin, Tree of Life CEO. “They share how the products have benefited them, which clears up common misconceptions about CBD products and educates the general public.”

The company said once other people catch onto the “CBDisLife influencer movement” they can join and share their stories, no matter their audience size.

’Dat CBD Life The legal cannabis industry in America, while lucrative, is still so young that its growing pains are numerous.

For example, many banks won’t do business with cannabis retailers because cannabis is still illegal on the federal level.

This means many cannabis retailers run as cash-only operations, leading to higher risks of robbery.

Marketing cannabidiol (CBD) products can also be tricky. Thanks to those federal laws and a myriad of different state laws, getting messages to consumers online comes with high hurdles.

For example, CBD ads are often banned from social media. Google doesn’t even allow marketing firms to use its Keyword

Cannabis Cafe On Monday, a Los Angeles Times story gave the ins and outs of The Lowell Cafe.

The first-of-its-kind cannabis cafe in West Hollywood will allow diners to smoke cannabis inside and outside the restaurant, thanks to a new license issued by the city.

Says the Times: “When you arrive, you will be seated at a table and greeted by a flower host (also known as a ‘budtender’) who will serve as your cannabis guide. He or she will drill you on your past cannabis experiences (whether you’re Snoop Dogg-level or haven’t smoked since high school or at all) and help personalize your cannabis order. You also will have a server from whom you can order food and nonalcoholic beverages.”

oves are afoot to open one of three approved medical marijuana dispensaries in West Memphis as plans have been submitted for a Body and Mind dispensary on OK Street.

Body and Mind is a Vancouver-based, publicly traded company investing in cannabis cultivation with a production facility in Nevada. Its products include dried flower, edibles, topicals, extracts, and vape pen cartridges. Body and Mind strains have won the Las Vegas Hempfest Cup 2016, High Times Top Ten, and the NorCal Secret Cup. The company will team up with Arkansas’ Comprehensive Care Group to open the West Memphis dispensary.

The project will get underway with $1.2 million in start-up costs, according to a news release issued by Body and Mind.

Plans for the new dispensary in West Memphis must first be approved by city leaders there.

adds different ingredients for the flavors.

Among them are a Tahitian vanilla, which he did for Low Fi. “And then I make a goat milk caramel sauce,” he says. “It’s like a tangy caramel sauce made with goat milk. And I swirl the goat milk caramel into the vanilla.”

The container idea dates to his childhood. “We would go to Huey’s back in the day, and you’d get a kid’s meal and they’d give you — I think it was — Klinke ice cream. That has somehow stayed in my head,” O’Brien says. “We could sell pints or even larger containers, but just having that little single-serve, this little bit of ice cream, it’s got nostalgia to it.”

His wooden spoons are concave, but they’re flat on the bottom so all the ice cream can be scraped out of the container.

emember those little cups of hard ice cream you ate with a flat wooden spoon at parties when you were in grade school?

So does Schuyler O’Brien. He created “over yonder. delightfully crafted ice cream,” which he serves in 3.5-ounce individual containers with wooden gelato spoons. And the ice cream is soft.

The ice cream is available in the nitro coffee floats at Low Fi Coffee inside Stock & Belle on South Main on Trolley Night, which is held the last Friday of every month. O’Brien plans to eventually sell the containers at Low Fi, but, for now, they can be purchased in quantities of 25 or more through AMF (A Moveable Feast) Catering, where he’s chef de cuisine. “It’s a brand of AMF right now, but I make every single batch,” O’Brien says.

Schuyler O’Brien, 29, began O’Brien making the ice cream 10 years ago. “Same exact recipe,” he says.

“This started when I was in culinary school and I made ice cream for the first time.”

He made it in his advanced baking and pastry class at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando, Florida. “I had always seen people make ice cream, but it’s like American ice cream, where you just mix sugar and milk and whatever. Well, what I do is a classic French-style ice cream. So it’s actually a stirred custard. The base is heavy cream, whole milk, and then egg yolks and sugar.”

It’s a crème anglaise — a “classic French sauce” if you don’t freeze it, O’Brien says.

“Then once you freeze it, it becomes the ice cream. It’s a super old-school way to make ice cream, but there’s so much labor put into it.”

O’Brien continued to make ice cream after he graduated and worked at Capriccio Grill at The Peabody, Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee, and Catherine & Mary’s, where he was sous chef.

“I’ve had three ice cream machines, all of them the home commercial ones that have the compressor in it,” he says. “Not the ones where you have to freeze the bowl. It’s a pretty big investment for me to just do as a hobby, to have an ice cream machine, but I would always have [ice cream] in the freezer.”

The base is the same, but O’Brien

lar at catering events. “We passed them out when we were cutting the cake for this wedding, and people lost their minds,” he says. “They thought it was the coolest damn thing — that they’re getting these little gourmet ice creams with the cake.”

As for the name, O’Brien wanted something “that was kind of Southern and kind of had some feel to it.”

“Over yonder” with the “delightfully crafted ice cream” tagline “just feels good,” he says.

O’Brien also is in graduate school in the hospitality program at the University of Memphis. And he’s assistant to the director at the Kemmons Wilson Culinary Institute at U of M. He’s always coming up with new ideas for over yonder. ice cream. “The possibilities are endless,” he says. “And no one is really doing this single-serve-type thing.”

And, O’Brien says, “Next summer, I want to have three or four of those little carts and just roll out there, sell these little portions.”

To order over yonder. ice cream, call AMF Catering at 522-9453.

pie-flavored foods.

If people want to consume pumpkin pie spices, and clearly they do, I suggest combining them with corn. Corn is sweeter than squash, and if prepared properly, creamier as well. So sweet and creamy, in fact, that corn, pumpkin spices, and a pinch of salt are all you really need to make a pumpkin pie-flavored drink.

Pumpkin pie spice is a mix of ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. These roots, seeds, and bark share the trait of somehow tasting sweet without actually being sweet. In the presence of actual sweet ingredients, they really pucker up.

Back to that corn spice drink. When my wife took a sip, what she said was music to my ears. Our kids swarmed into the kitchen, took sips, and said the same thing she had: “It tastes like pumpkin pie!”

This was encouraging, but one question remained: Could I use my corny concoction in a pumpkin spice latte, aka the “PSL”?

I took a trip to Starbucks and paid five bucks for the smallest cup they had. I didn’t taste any coffee, only pumpkin pie, but the barista claimed she added a shot. I took it home and added a shot of homemade espresso, which made it taste kind of funny. Apparently, too much coffee makes the funny taste that pumpkin can have stand out, which is the opposite of what pumpkin spice does.

The corn spice latte (CSL), meanwhile, had none of that funniness, no matter how much coffee I added. And I added plenty. And when I added chocolate powder to the corn-coction, the resulting corn spice mocha (CSM) made me smile like a goofy jack-o-lantern.

This recipe for corn spice drink that tastes like pumpkin pie includes a chocolate option, as well as directions for adding either variation to coffee drinks.

To my taste, the CSL and CSM don’t require added sugar or milk because corn is so sweet and creamy. But if you want Starbucks-level decadence, adding sweetener and creamer is the easy part.

For simplicity, I used a commercial

mix of ground pumpkin pie spice. For the extreme DIYers, here is a recipe for the mix: three teaspoons each of cloves and allspice, four teaspoons each of nutmeg and ginger, and six tablespoons cinnamon, all ground.

Makes 2 servings • 2 ears sweet corn, shucked (or 2 cups frozen corn) • 2 cups water • ¼ teaspoon salt • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spices • Optional: 1 tablespoon cocoa powder • For corn spice latte or mocha base: ¼ cup (or more) heavy cream, 2 tablespoons (or more) sugar Cut off the tip of the cob and hold it tip down on a cutting board. Place a filet knife or the narrowest knife you can find about halfway down the cob and cut straight down, as close to the cob as possible, slicing off a sheet of kernels.

Rotate your grip and slice off another sheet. Repeat until you’ve removed all the kernels (about a cup and a half from an average size ear).

DIY PSL kit starts with (clockwise from bottom left) cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves

Add the corn, along with the salt, spices, and chocolate, if using, to a pot with the water. On medium heat, stir together with a fork and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, covered.

Turn off heat and allow to cool. When cool enough to work with, add to a blender, preferably a powerful one like a Vitamix. Start on the lowest speed, gradually increase the speed to high, and blend on high for about 60 seconds in a Vitamix, longer in a lesser blender. Keep going until it’s utterly smooth.

If you wish to make a coffee drink, instead blend for 30 seconds on medium, and strain out the corn chunks and fibers.

If you have a weak blender, do this, too.

Pour the liquified or strained corn spices back into the pot and return to a simmer. Serve hot or cold.

continued from page 19 second-guess whether or not I’m a person to tell this story. But I couldn’t help but see all of my connections to it. I couldn’t help but see a guy in Los Angeles from the South with doors slamming in his face, basically turning to a rag-tag group of friends and saying, ‘Well, what if we just did it anyway?’”

Brewer came to see the duality of the character was central to the story’s appeal. “I think it’s important for all the artists that I’ve had in my life. I get excited thinking about Rudy Ray Moore through the lens of Al Kapone and Harlan T. Bobo. I think I have a side of me that wants things to be larger than life — big music that hits right on an edit. But there is another side of me that’s at times insecure and wanting reassurance from friends and family around me.”

Without his Dolemite costume, Moore “just looks like a normal, nice guy. Then you put on that wig, that hat, that jacket, and that cane, and the idea that he could escape into this man who was fearless ultimately helps that man who has fear,” Brewer says. “There are times that the whole ‘fake it till you make it’ is a healthy program when you’re trying to begin something.

“It’s also something I see in Eddie’s work. I wouldn’t say there are two personalities, but there are definitely

two sides of the same coin. It’s there in The Nutty Professor, in Coming to America, definitely in Trading Places.

It’s also in Eddie’s personal manner.

He’s a very real, intellectual, soft-spoken man who doesn’t feel a need to perform for everybody in the room until it’s time for him to perform. Then this iconic entertainer suddenly emerges, and you’re like, ‘Wow! Where did this come from?’”

Karaszewski says Brewer’s direction was integral to the final product. “I remember one of the first days on the set, we were filming one of the scenes from the chitlin’ circuit montage. I was standing there with Scott and said, ‘Thank god we actually got someone who knows what it looks like.’ Craig has been to these places. He knows that the signs with the booze specials have half the letters missing. He knows that there’s a smoker out in the back parking lot smoking some ribs and brisket. It has that lived-in feel. That was always our fear, that someone would take the script and make the superficial version of the story. It is very easy to make fun of the fact that Rudy is making a bad movie.

What Craig did was add that realness that gave the movie a humanity.”

Alexander says the production had a joy to it that is rare in the highpressure Hollywood world. “Being on his set was a blast. Craig created such a positive environment, it was a total joy

“It is very easy to make fun of the fact that Rudy is making a bad movie.

What Craig did was add that realness that gave the movie a humanity,” Larry Karaszewski says. to be on the set each day. Sometimes, actors who weren’t even working were just kind of hanging around. When we were shooting the closing shot of the movie, which is a big, elaborate crane shot, Craig had a little boom box where he would play music and sync it up.

Eddie would do the take, then everyone would huddle around the monitor and Craig would say, ‘Let’s do playback!’

And he would do it with the music. It was like we were getting to watch the movie in real time! It was just so fun.”

For Brewer, who had set so many of his films in Memphis, getting to shoot in L.A. was a dream come true. “We’re in Griffith Park, up in the mountains, and doing a ’70s car chase scene, where a police car is chasing Dolemite’s

car, sirens blaring, everything. I call action, and we’ve got two cameras going, and the car’s tires are squealing around the corner. I yelled ‘cut’ and just started going ‘Whoo hoo! Yes!’ I turned to the crew and said, ‘I’m sure y’all have probably filmed thousands of car chases. That was my first, and it couldn’t have been better!’”

A Dream Picture Coming 13 years after being nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Dreamgirls, Eddie Murphy’s performance in Dolemite Is My Name is a revelation.

He’s funny, of course — Murphy and his late brother Charlie were doing Dolemite routines while they were preteens — but he is also vulnerable, as in the opening scene when he’s trying to get a DJ, played by Snoop Dogg, to spin his lame R&B records.

The script is the spiritual successor to Ed Wood, telling the story of Moore’s transformation from a record store clerk and flailing nightclub comic to a comedy legend. Not only is Murphy good, but the deep cast of Moore’s collaborators all have fleshed-out characters to play. Snipes is perfection as the drunk director who bolts at the first hint that something better is coming along. Da’Vine Joy Randolph is a big discovery as Lady Reed, Dolemite’s partner in crime.

was the key to getting the film’s tone exactly right. “I am sure it’s possible to make a Martin Scorsese-style, darker examination of Rudy Ray Moore. I just don’t know if that’s really the spirit of Rudy Ray Moore. He was really happy.

He was about entertainment and fun, but I think we have the appropriate amount of vulnerability in the movie.

Eddie is not just in it for the yucks.

He’s portraying a very real character and somebody who means a lot to him because he was a huge fan. It’s been a dream of his to make this movie for more than a decade.”

For Karaszewski, Craig’s background as a scrappy indie filmmaker who broke into the Hollywood system made him the perfect person to helm Dolemite Is My Name. “No one was going to hand Craig Brewer or Rudy Ray Moore a bunch of money to go make their dreams come true, so they had to do it themselves.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Keegan-Michael Key gets laughs as the intellectual straight man to Moore’s outlandish street performer. Memphian Claude Phillips, who has been in every Brewer movie since Hustle & Flow, cameos as a hobo who teaches Moore the rhyming cadence that would eventually make him known as one of the godfathers of rap. Scott Bomar, Memphis musician and producer, composed the soulful score, which was recorded in Memphis.

“We were trying to make a fun, entertaining movie,” says Karaszewski.

“We didn’t realize how audiences would take it as inspirational. They look at the can-do spirit of Rudy Ray Moore. If someone closes a door in his face, he will open up another door.

There’s so much comedy in the movie, but the inspiration is played sincere and played honest, so audiences come away with that.”

THE LAST WORD by Maya Smith

Brandon Allen

It was one small step for a teenager, Brandon Allen, but a giant leap for humankind.

I’m sure you’ve seen it or read about it by now, but last week White Station High School (Go Spartans!) did something historic and important when they crowned Allen Homecoming Royalty — not king, not queen, just royalty.

It only takes small steps to pave the way for change and make equality a reality, and White Station is well on its way. What happened last week is a win for not just Allen, but the entire LGBTQ+ community. It’s a big deal. There’s much to be said about it.

First, there’s Allen, the brave high school senior who unashamedly (and rightfully so) wore a sparkling gold dress to homecoming and who is obviously not afraid to be his authentic self. This is what not conforming to the norms that you don’t agree with looks like. This is what being a trailblazer looks like. This is what courage looks like.

Then there are the students. The students who support him, accept him, and ultimately voted for him. They clearly understand what it means to be open-minded, to be kind, and to be an ally. And if the world needs anything right now, it is more people like these students — who know how to truly be tolerant. If these kids are the future, then the future is sure to be bright. If these are our future mayors, lawmakers, doctors, lawyers, and judges, we might be in good hands.

This is progress. Seven years ago, I was a senior at White Station, and I don’t think I, or many of my peers, were half as open-minded or tolerant as these students. And we definitely didn’t have an ounce of the boldness Allen possesses.

The world is changing. I think the crazy and ubiquitous acts of hate and violence occurring in this country are a double-edged sword. The effects are devastating on one hand, but on the other hand, they are forcing youth to grow up faster, to mature quicker, and to realize early that tolerance is the antidote to hate. So hats off to these kids for showing us adults the way.

Still, Allen’s win wouldn’t have been possible without the school and its administration opening the door and setting a tone of tolerance. This year, for the first time, the school ditched its traditional, binary titles of Homecoming King and Queen, and instead introduced the gender neutral, allencompassing Homecoming Royalty title.

White Station’s principal, Carrye Holland, even in the face of critics and haters, explained the school’s position best in a Facebook post: “Here’s the thing: it’s Brandon’s right to run for homecoming court under Title IX. It’s the students’ choice of who they want to support as homecoming royalty. I’m exceedingly proud to be the principal of our amazing school.

You don’t have to agree, but disrespectful comments will be deleted. WSHS loves and supports everyone, regardless of who they are or what they believe. Thank you for the love and light from so many of you.”

Taking this stand, doing the right thing by all students, even when you know everyone won’t agree, is huge. We need so much more of this in this world. We need more Allens and more Hollands to stand up. We have got to start taking steps like White Station has done to make everyone feel included and valued no matter who they are or how they identify.

If the world continues to ignore those whose identity differs from what’s considered “traditional” or “normal,” then we will forever be dimming the light of people like Allen. We need lights like his to permeate the darkness and the hate that seems to prevail in this country. I’m glad the White Station community not only sees Allen for who he is, but they also accept him, respect him, and let his light shine uninhibitedly.

This is real, tangible progress, and I’m proud that it happened at my alma mater. But honestly, I’d be just as proud to see it happen at any school in the city or across the country. Because this is what we need more of — more tolerance and love, less hate and violence.
