LETTER FROM THE EDITOR • OUR 1424TH ISSUE 06.09.2016 Here we are in Memphis, where orange is the new black.

Last Thursday, hundreds of people in Memphis, and thousands more around the country, wore orange to honor shooting victims as part of “National Gun Violence Awareness Day.” Mayor Jim Strickland joined with District Attorney Amy Weirich, state Senator Lee Harris, mothers of two victims, and a couple of hundred citizens at downtown’s Loflin Yard. They spoke of organizing the community against violence; they named and mourned several recent victims, including 18-year-old Myneishia Johnson, who was gunned down in a random drive-by shooting in downtown Memphis in mid-May. The Commercial Appeal published an inspirational picture of the group in the next day’s paper: black folks, white folks, orange T-shirts, orange ties, orange signs reading “We Can Stop Gun Violence.” Big smiles, big hopes.

Two days later, on Saturday night, another random shooter terrorized downtown, wounding three people, stealing a car, speeding through the streets of Memphis, and tragically ending the life of one of Memphis’ finest men in blue, Officer Verdell Smith.

In 48 hours, the orange T-shirts of hope were changed to the black clothes of mourning.

Strickland held a press conference Monday and said, among other things: “The police department cannot anticipate when somebody is going to pull a trigger.

What makes somebody pull that trigger? It’s their lifetime of history. If we can intervene in the lives of more young people through constructive things when they’re not in school, that’s the true long-term solution to crime.” All of which is true.

A couple of reporters, however, demanded to know how the mayor was going to “protect” the citizens, and wondered what “bold action” he was going to take.

I hate to break it to these folks, but this isn’t Gotham City and there is no single bold action the mayor can take to protect us from every troubled, angry, mentally disturbed young man with a gun. The recent shootings downtown were not robberies, muggings, or premeditated assaults on targeted victims. They were random and senseless acts of violence.

There are 300 million genies out of the bottle in America. Thanks to the NRA and their friends in our government, guns are everywhere and easy to get. No legislation can make a dent in that number in our lifetimes. Just as Baghdad has had to learn to deal with market bombings every few weeks, America has to learn to deal with senseless gun rampages.

There’s no single, sexy bold action that will fix gun violence, only a thousand small steps, made by thousands of people working together. So let’s hire more cops.

Let’s get more communities engaged in policing their neighborhoods. Let’s find more programs to reach out to disengaged, impoverished youth. Let’s improve our education system. Let’s raise the minimum wage and fix our public transportation system so that those without cars can get to jobs more easily. Let’s make it easier to expunge criminal records, so more folks can get a second chance to overcome youthful stupidity. Let’s get more churches involved in doing the real Lord’s work in this city, rather than building palaces N E WS & O P I N I O N for preachers.

What They Said...

Letters and comments from Flyer readers request for production of documents.

Are these legal fees really the best use of Memphis taxpayers’ $4 million subsidy to the zoo? What is the zoo so afraid of coming to light? The truth, obviously. And fortunately for the citizens of Memphis (and unfortunately for certain city council members and zoo administrators), the truth always does come to light, eventually.

Mary Ost

GREG CRAVENS

The end is way overdue for Memphis’ unquestioning devotion to its publicly funded, yet privately managed, institutions, as well as a lot of other entities, both public and private.

Good citizens ask questions. “We’ve always done it that way” is never the appropriate answer.

Old Dominick Distillery prepares for September product launch, February opening.

“It’s almost like Christmas,” said D. Canale & Co. president and Old Dominick Distillery founder Chris Canale Jr., as construction workers carefully removed the white plastic sheeting covering his downtown distillery’s new column still last Wednesday.

The installation of the column still — a skinny column that stretches two floors of the distillery’s building at 301 Front and looks like something from a steampunk fantasy with its multiple portholes and copper finish — is the latest construction milestone for Old Dominick Distillery.

Canale’s great-grandfather Dominico Canale is the inspiration for the distillery. Dominico moved to Memphis from Italy in 1859. He operated a fruit cart for a while, but once he acquired a refrigerated truck, he was able to distribute beer.

Eventually, Dominico graduated to

Old Dominick’s new column still bourbon and bottled some Kentuckymade bourbon under his own name and continued that practice until Prohibition put him out of the bourbon business.

In keeping with his greatgrandfather’s tradition, Canale, whose family company still specializes in beer distribution, will distill bourbon at Old Dominick. Head distiller Alexandra Castle says the distillery should be ready to launch its first products in September. The distillery is expected to be open to the public for tours, tastings, and special events by February 2017.

Although the distillery has a focus on bourbon, they’ll be starting out with vodkas since bourbon takes years to age. When products launch in September, Castle said they’ll have an original vodka, a flavored vodka, and a heritage whiskey that existed when the original Old Dominick whiskey existed.

“The doctor who diagnosed him told us we should give up our dreams for our child and face the reality that he will never say ‘I love you,’ never form relationships with siblings, family, or friends. He would never go to college, get married, or have a significant other, have kids or any of the typical things parents visualize their children doing eventually,” Goddard said.

“But most disturbing was the doctor’s warning — that by the time Charlie reached puberty, we would have to institutionalize him.”

Goddard and her then-husband Mike Cantkier refused to accept the diagnosis.

They tried everything — applied behavioral analysis therapy, biomedical interventions, and, after studying exposure therapy, Gus the service dog.

“I wondered if Charlie had a sweet, little puppy that he could grow with and live with and love, would this dampen his sensory reaction at all? I wanted their first meeting to be calm. … I put Gus on Charlie’s lap, and they absolutely and

Charlie Cantkier and his dog Gus completely fell in love with each other,” Goddard said.

Dogs share a unique bond — an inherent “man’s best friend” connection — with their owners. Many dogs offer unconditional love. They are at the door after a long day of work, ready to hug or play. For some people, like Charlie, the connection is much deeper, says anthrozoologist John Bradshaw, author of Dog Sense and researcher of animalhuman relations.

N E V E R E N D I N G E LV I S Let’s put this whole Nashville vs.

Memphis thing to bed, shall we?

Sure, Nashville has little kitschy statues of Elvis everywhere. But Memphis has an Elvis Walgreens.

Last week, the King was promoting Red Nose Day in cosmetics.

Even with the stereo blasting inside of his mother Jeanne Goddard’s home, a dog’s bark from outside was enough to send Charlie Cantkier into a meltdown.

“He would scream, cry, and tell us his brain was going to explode from the pain,” Goddard said.

His hearing was sensitive enough that he’d experience severe sensory reactions to high-pitched yelping or deep growling from down the street.

That was until he met Gus, a 12-weekold German shepherd service dog.

Charlie was born happy and healthy on Oct. 23, 2001. He weighed seven pounds and 14 ounces. For nearly a year, he met the milestones. But between the ages of 12 and 18 months, his abilities began to fade. Charlie lost the small bits of language he’d gained, and he stopped interacting with his family. By the age of 2, he suffered from behavioral issues and couldn’t speak. A doctor diagnosed Charlie with low-functioning, nonverbal autism when he was nearly 4 years old.

The therapies and medical interventions helped Charlie recover from the various medical conditions causing his autistic-like behaviors — but he still faced debilitating sensory issues.

Through caring for and bonding with his new friend Gus, Charlie experienced a 180-degree change in his quality of life.

He no longer exhibited a deep fear of dogs and their barking.

Gus has stood by Charlie’s side for more than six years now, and his needs have drastically changed. At six years old, a doctor re-diagnosed Charlie with high-functioning, hyper-verbal autism with superior intelligence. At the age of 10, the same doctor diagnosed him with Asperger’s syndrome with superior intelligence.

Children don’t usually move on the autism spectrum, Goddard said. But Charlie, now 14, describes himself as a “typical” teenager. He’ll even start the next school year as a freshman at a mainstream high school.

“I knew this puppy would help me in life,” Charlie said. “Also he’s cute, so that’s a plus. I knew he would protect me and help me handle loud noises. If I feel sick, he helps me feel better.”

For Goddard, who watched her son’s autism abate through disciplined years of hard work and determination, she said it was Gus who helped shape Charlie into the teenager he’s become today.

“There was a time when Charlie was convinced dogs were evil,” Goddard said.

“Now he talks about starting a business where he makes stuffed animals that are replicas of people’s pets. He has gained this empathy and nurturing nature when it comes to dogs and other animals — and that’s 100 percent because of his relationship and bond with Gus.”

There’s plenty of room inside the Old Dominick Distillery for aging oak barrels and all sorts of fermenters and equipment. The location, inside the old Memphis Machineworks and Supply building, is actually made up of three buildings that were, at one time, opened up into one large space. The $5 million construction project has been underway for more than a year.

Two tasting rooms are under construction, and the building will

also feature 10,000 feet of event space and 5,000 feet of restaurant space.

The restaurant will be leased out to a restaurateur, but Canale hasn’t yet worked out a deal to determine what restaurant will be there.

Even though Old Dominick hasn’t even begun production yet, they’re already looking to the future.

“The fermenters were designed for expansion. We can double each one by cutting down the legs and adding to the top,” Castle said. “This building is great because it’s big enough to accommodate expansion.”

East Tennessee has the moonshine thing down. So we’re starting with vodka,” said Castle, who spent four years working at Wild Turkey in Kentucky before Canale recruited her for the job at Old Dominick. “If you’re doing a grain-based vodka, you’re going through the same still as whiskey.

But then we send it through a second system and re-distill it.”

Eventually, the distillery will release Tennessee-style whiskey, which Castle says is similar to bourbon but goes

through an additional charcoal filtering process. They’ll also be producing a wheat whiskey, which she says will be lighter in flavor and smoother than more traditional whiskeys. Those whiskeys will age in oak barrels for a couple years.

“Bourbons have a little vanilla and caramel flavor, and that comes from the oak barrels. Whiskey comes off the system colorless, but if you’ve ever seen a whiskey in a bottle, you know it’s not colorless,” Castle said. “The liquid goes in and out of the wood, so you let it experience weather changes.

POLITICS By Jackson Baker

Is Terry Roland a Bully?

Tempers flared during Monday’s regular meeting of the Shelby County Commission. Big time.

And the surface turbulence led to the uncovering of a behind-thescenes matter involving a claim by several other commissioners that commission chairman Terry Roland has engaged in threatening behavior toward them.

The precipitating issue was the commission’s consideration of a proposal from former Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton to build two educational residence facilities for convicted juvenile offenders in Frayser and in Millington.

The commission voted 8-2 to endorse the project, a sort of combination charter school/incarceration model that would locate juveniles in a dormitory situation close to their families. Called the NewPath Restorative Campuses, the proposed facilities would be run by a nonprofit group and would be privately funded, for the most part, requiring no outlay of county money.

The project would be boosted by an allocation of state funding — some $17.5 million that is now going to the Wilder detention facility in Fayette County — and that fact was cited by Roland as a reason for his support.

“He’s not asking us for any money,” Roland noted about Herenton, a former school superintendent who is

now executive director of the W.E.B. DuBois Consortium of Charter Schools and who would direct the facilities’ educational operations. “They’d be spending $47 million for each facility,” said Roland, and would be generating 600 jobs for his own community of Millington.

The commission’s vote of approval indicates that most commissioners bought into that reasoning. Commissioner Walter Bailey was one who did not, however.

Though he praised Herenton as an individual and a professional, Bailey demurred, citing what he said was incomplete information about the project, as well as his aversion to what was basically a privatization of functions that were traditionally public.

Herenton became visibly angry, criticizing Bailey for Former Mayor Herenton’s proposal for a model detention facility was the catalyst for several Commissioners’ complaints against Terry Roland.

having “the audacity to pontificate” and telling the commissioner, an African American like himself, that 85 percent of the juveniles to be housed “look like you and me,” and would be the beneficiaries of superior educational and wraparound services currently unavailable to them.

Still steaming after the vote, Herenton was heard to mutter the word “bullshit” in regard to Bailey’s objection.

Other commissioners had misgivings, as well. Mark Billingsley, who joined Bailey in abstaining on the vote, and George Chism and David Reaves, both of whom voted no, all cited what they said was a lack of specific information about the project.

After the vote, Reaves became involved in a disagreement with Roland that resulted in an actual physical altercation. It took place off the main commission chamber in a back room that is often used for conferences.

Roland and Reaves differ in their accounts of what happened. According to Roland, Reaves approached him and “put his finger on my nose.” The commission chairman said that Reaves then accused him of “selling out my race” by supporting the Herenton proposal.

Both commissioners agree on what came next. Roland shoved Reaves.

“All I did was get him out of my face,” Roland said. “I was clearly in the right. The dude came up on me.”

“I never touched the man,” said Reaves, who further

An altercation uncovers a history of alleged threats by the Shelby County Commission chairman.

be bullied. I’m trying to do what’s good for everybody.”

And Roland reciprocated Reaves’ charges of political motivation by accusing Reaves, Billingsley, and Chism of being partisans of Roland’s potential mayoral opponent, current county Trustee David Lenoir. He said the three also were supporters of former U.S. Attorney David Kustoff in the 8th Congressional District GOP primary and that he, by contrast, intended to remain neutral.

Meanwhile, Billingsley revealed that in April he had queried then-County Attorney (now appellate Judge-designate) Ross Dyer, as follows: “It is unfortunate I have to

inquire for a county attorney opinion, but I have no other choice. If a Shelby County commissioner contacts another Shelby County commissioner … and threatens their ability to put items on the… Commission agenda, threatens lack of funding, and threatens their ability to serve in their [elected] capacity, based on their personal animosity [toward] that individual, would this be considered official misconduct? Additionally, is there a process for reporting?”

Dyer, whose investiture as a Judge in the Court of Criminal Appeals will take place this Thursday, promised at the time that an answer would be forthcoming at some point from himself or from his staff.

denies mentioning the word “race” in the context claimed by Roland. “I told Terry he was selling out his constituents,” said Reaves, who added that he was confident that, based on the political history of Memphis and Shelby County, people in Millington, like those in Bartlett, would object to giving former Mayor Herenton an unconditional approval for his project.

He said that if he mentioned the word “race,” it was probably to suggest that Roland, an announced candidate for county mayor in 2018, was using his support for the project to play politics on behalf of his political race.

Commissioner Heidi Shafer, who was in the back room conferring on a matter with Kim Hackney, assistant CAO for the county administration, became aware of the fracas and rushed out to locate a deputy sheriff serving as bailiff, returning with him to find the disturbance apparently over.

“I couldn’t really tell who did what to whom,” Shafer said. About Roland, she said, “Terry’s definitely not a turn-theother-cheek kind.”

Reaves later identified Billingsley and Chism as other commissioners toward whom Roland had displayed “bullying” and threatening behavior. Both confirmed having had such experiences.

Said Billingsley: “Terry has threatened to beat me up in front of several county staffers in the hallway. He consistently displays bullying behavior. Anybody who disagrees with him about anything is met with great hostility. That’s unbelievably unprofessional. There’s no place for it in government, and it sets a very poor example for a community that already has too much hostility on its hands.”

Chism had a similar account: “Terry once lost his temper with me. He was very aggressive, and there were people in the office that heard it. It was all over a resolution that I wouldn’t co-sponsor, but he insisted he wanted my name on it.” Chism said Roland was “way over the line,” but that he “immediately apologized.”

These new claims of belligerent behavior on Roland’s part are reminders of previous circumstances involving the Millington commissioner and his colleagues. Former Commissioner Steve Mulroy said back in 2011 that Roland had cornered him in the commission library and said, “You and I are never going to agree. There’s only one way to settle things. We’re going downstairs, and I’m going to whip your ass!”

At the time, Roland said, “Aw, heck, I was just kidding with him,” and, though Mulroy still insists he believes Roland was serious in his threat, the two commissioners would ultimately let the matter subside with jocular references to a potential boxing match for charity.

In 2012, Roland was the featured speaker at a meeting of the Collierville Republican Club when several fellow GOP Commissioners, who favored another ap-

proach, began heckling him.

Interpreting a muttered phrase from then-Commissioner Chris Thomas as a disrespectful jibe about his late father (Thomas denied saying anything of the sort), Roland threatened to “knock you out of that chair.” Then-Commissioner Wyatt Bunker called the Collierville police, who arrived after the meeting was over but found nothing amiss.

On that occasion, Roland insisted he was the one being bullied, and he had similar words for his disagreement with Reaves Monday. “I’m not going to let politics get in the way of making a good decision to help our people,” he said. “I’m not going to

else? Oh, yes, that “we” includes us, all the residents and businesses of Memphis and Shelby County, and all the tourists and other visitors who come here, drawn by the city’s legendary reputation for barbecue, boogie, and whatever else.

Specifically, count two of downtown Memphis’ foremost attractions, Beale Street and the Bass Pro Pyramid, within that group of potential victims of illegal violence — and, hey, summer, whether destined to be the long, hot version or not, hasn’t really even gotten started yet.

When Justin Welch, a distressed and/ or mentally unstable 21-year-old, went on a shooting spree Saturday night, wounding innocent people in the Pinch District and Bass Pro and killing Police Officer Verdell Smith with a stolen vehicle, he put an exclamation mark on what was already an untenable situation.

Strickland must have known what he was getting into when he ran for the mayoralty, an office of responsibility that he’d had an opportunity to observe during his eight years as a city councilman. And we can only hope he knows what he’s doing now as he sets forth on what would seem to be a new course of active “partnerships” with other law-enforcement agencies: namely, the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department.

For obvious reasons, there has always been some jurisdictional cooperation between the Memphis Police Department and these and other agencies, including the Tennessee and Federal Bureau of Investigation. But this new arrangement is different; it puts a new spin on the old conundrum of whether the sum of separate

parts can be greater than the whole.

We are reminded of another not-sodistant time, the late 1980s, when the “jump and grab” incursions into Memphis of the late activist Sheriff Jack Owens were regarded with a fair amount of jealousy and suspicion by the MPD and city government at large. The new combine of crime-fighting forces has, by the very fact of its being proposed, become a graphic illustration of the emergency we seem to have found ourselves in.

Simultaneous with an upsurge in homicides, surely the most chilling spectre on the public horizon, there are basic matters affecting the MPD that must be resolved. There needs to be a permanent police director, pronto. And, even though we have been assured by the wise lights in our local governments that the reductions in benefits for our police officers and other first responders were absolute fiscal necessities, we cannot regard this matter as closed. Strickland’s proposals for reactivating PST assistants and for increasing pay and other incentives may, in fact, not be enough to offset what is clearly an understaffed protective infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Strickland is not the only public official who is on the spot; another is former district attorney and state Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons, who will shortly be assuming his new dual role of president of the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission and director of the new Public Safety Institute at the University of Memphis.

Let’s hope Strickland is on the right track with his new crime plan, but we need as many new answers as we can come by.

NEWS & OPINION

On May 19th, The Memphis Flyer posted an open letter from me that challenged ServiceMaster to consider moving downtown. In that letter, I asked the company to explore more deliberate engagement in Memphis, to consider contributing to the “winning culture” that they desire instead of waiting for it to emerge or seeking it elsewhere. I suggested that by occupying or building a presence downtown, ServiceMaster could attract other businesses and assets who would be moved by their actions to reconsider downtown. In essence, I argued that the company had the power within themselves to participate in a winning culture, not by asking but by leading by example.

Hangover Helpers 18 ways (we think) to get through the morning after.

June 9-15, 2016

IV Hangover Therapy “I need to get a hangover,” I tell the bartender. “It’s for work.”

I’m at the New Daisy Theatre’s Big Star Room. It’s the Daisy's 74th birthday party, and George Clinton, accompanied by the current iteration of Parliament Funkadelic, is about to take the stage. I figure there’s a high probability of feeling good tonight and feeling bad tomorrow. The bartender nods and pours me a Jameson.

Any alcoholic beverage can produce a hangover when consumed immoderately, but dark distilled liquors are particularly potent. The goal of fermentation is to produce ethanol, the magical compound which produces the desired effects of mood elevation and lowered inhibitions.

But thanks to one of organic chemistry’s great ironies, as your liver works to clear the ethanol from your system, one of the byproducts is acetaldehyde, a compound which inflames any tissue it touches. It also has a pleasant, fruity odor and is present alongside ethanol in dark liquors such as the Irish whiskey being poured over a glass of ice in front of me.

I’m not sure how many Jamesons I have had as I dance and catch up with old friends, but my difficulty in navigating my iPhone to call Uber at the end of the night indicates that there were several more than was prudent. But it was for work.

My headache awakens me the next morning. The blood vessels dilated by the decaying ethanol are struggling to return to normal, causing migraine-like pain. I 12 only had a small plate of nachos last night, and my stomach is in no mood to accept

anything new. My mouth tastes vaguely of cat pee. I drink what little coffee I can keep down and head for Atlas Men’s Health at the corner of Madison and McLean.

“The reason people get hangovers is mostly dehydration,” says Anna Harnish, a physician’s assistant who also works at the St. Francis ER. Alcohol is a diuretic, which is why club bathrooms smell so horrible and why you wake up the next day with cotton mouth. Generations of medical students have treated the hangover’s debilitating effects by nicking a bag of saline solution from the supply closet and rehydrating intravenously. Some of those former med students decided to monitize the secret hangover cure.

“It’s very popular in Vegas,” Harnish says. “They have buses that go around called Hangover Heaven. But you pay a Vegas price there.”

Hangover Heaven can run upwards of $200. Atlas Men’s Health offers two options for Saturday morning detox: $75 gets you the basic treatment of one liter

JUSTIN FOX BURKS

Your head is pounding. Your skin is pale (or maybe even kind of greenish).

Your hands are shaking. Your throat is on fire from all those cigarettes you chain-smoked last night. Or least the cigarettes you think you smoked last night. You’re just now realizing that you don’t remember much of last night.

Oh god, what if you said something embarrassing to your boss? Or danced naked on a bar? And speaking of naked, where are your pants? And wait, where are you? This definitely isn’t your house.

We’ve all been there. It’s the hangover from hell, and summer is the prime time to be so afflicted. It’s the season of backyard barbecues, picnics, summer concerts, and trips to the lake. Much beer, wine, and vodka will be consumed, and you’ll more than likely experience your fair share of hangovers.

But if there’s one thing the Flyer team knows all about, it’s hangovers.

And we’re here to offer our expert advice on beating the brown bottle flu or the vodka virus or whatever catchy, alliterative name you choose. Here’s our handy guide to the best hangover cures, foods for soaking up last night’s booze, and cocktails for a little hair of the dog. — Bianca Phillips

of saline solution doped with vitamin B, medications for nausea and indigestion, and ketorolac tromethamine, a strong, anti-inflammatory drug in the same chemical family as ibuprofen. For $100, you get the Eraser, which adds a proprietary vitamin cocktail to the mix.

In the interest of science, I opt for the baseline treatment. It takes about 40 minutes for the bag’s contents to empty into my parched veins. The ketorolac kicker, which Harnish administers about halfway through, makes short work of my headache. By the time it’s over, I’m feeling good as new. Science. It works, people.

— Chris McCoy

Hair of the Dog Okay, you’ve got the hangover. One of the more ingenious remedies is that which goes by the name of “hair of the dog that bit you.” In a manner somewhat akin to the principle of the vaccine, drink something alcoholic to still the agonies that come from having drunk too much.

The Medical Daily website positions itself among the skeptics. The idea of drinking more to offset the effects of a previous day’s drinking binge “sounds so counterintuitive ... that’s because it is; drinking more alcohol will only make your hangover worse.”

The article goes on to attribute those

Bartenders Jessica Tyler and Michelle Dickson of Bahama Breeze with a freshly garnished (and sampled) Bloody Mary.

Hangover Food Some hangovers are so bad that just the thought of eating makes your stomach turn. Others, though, turn you into a ravenous monster with a craving for fries.

With chili on top. And cheese. Maybe some gravy. Oooh, and what about bacon?

We’ve sampled our way around town through our various hangovers, and we have a few suggestions for dishes guaranteed to keep your hangover at bay.

— Bianca Phillips Loaded Fries and the Sake to Me Milkshake at Oshi You’ve overindulged. But now is not the time to be a quitter. Oh no, honey, it’s time to lean in. That means cheese fries. Oshi’s loaded fries are doused in a creamy cheese sauce and sprinkled with scallions and bacon and are satisfying in every way.

What Oshi has going for it over the other places with cheese fries is those signature boozy milkshakes. Try the Sake to Me with coconut sake, vanilla vodka, vanilla ice cream, and toasted coconut. It’s something made in dreams. You don’t deserve it at all, but that makes it only sweeter.

— Susan Ellis

warm, butter-yellow tortillas are hearty, more durable than most, and a key part of this surefire remedy for the brown bottle flu. — Chris Davis

I Love Juice Bar Juices at I Love Juice Bar That closing round of shots seemed harmless enough last night, but this morning it feels fatal. Your hands shake, your eyes ache, your stomach’s on spin cycle, and it appears a litter of kittens has taken up residence on your tongue. Here’s what you do: Be kind to yourself. Forego the greasy heap of food you so desperately want, and detox with a juice.

I Love Juice Bar’s pretty, garnet-red We Got the Beet has beets, carrots, apples, ginger, and lemon, with the beets working to detoxify your liver and the ginger settling your stomach. The Fresh Greens has cucumber to rehydrate and spinach for vitamin C. — SE

Picosos Tacos Alambre at Picosos When I wake up in the afternoon broken, with itchy teeth, a pounding headache, and the acrid smell of a man who had too good a time the night before, there’s really only one dining option that can fix me. I’ll soon be in my car, squinting behind dark sunglasses, and motoring down Summer, on my way to Picosos for a steaming platter of meaty comfort called “alambre.”

Alambres are a little bit like Mexico City’s answer to the Philly cheese steak sandwich, only way more decadent. Small chunks of beef, pork, or chicken — or a combination thereof — are grilled with onion, crispy bacon, and bell pepper, then smothered in cheese, and served on a platter next to a ridiculously tall, lumberjack stack of tortillas. Picosos’

Oshi

The Waffold at Café Eclectic Highland Why is it that breakfast foods are the best for hangovers? We’re not sure, but it is something to ponder while taking in Café Eclectic’s massive Waffold. Sweet Baby Jesus, this is a thing of beauty! A plate-sized golden waffle hugging a whole omelet of eggs that holds within its folds melted provolone cheese and bacon. To slather or not to slather with syrup is your call. And while it may not cure what ails you, the Waffold does make a mighty nice distraction. — SE Eclectic Highland

Fried Tacos at Maciel’s Stuffing your face full of tacos is the answer to many of life’s problems. Hungry?

Depressed? Bored? Hungover? See how that works? And we fully endorse stuffing your face full of Maciel’s tacos. (In truth, plenty of their dishes would do for a hangover cure; we’re looking at you, huevo torta.) You get your choice of papa (potato), frijole fritos (refried beans), or pollo (chicken), or you can get one of each. This plate has everything you need: crunchy, cheesy, salty, creamy. Served with rice and refried beans. — SE Maciel’s

Totchos at Pink Diva Cupcakery You might think nachos sound like a good cure for the old Irish flu. And they’ll do in a pinch. But you know what’s better than nachos? Totchos, that’s what. Tater. Tot. Nachos. At Pink Diva, a vegan cupcake bakery and lunch café, the crispy, deep-fried tater puffs come covered in black beans, brown rice, a dairy-free cheese sauce, black olives, onions, salsa, and vegan sour cream. They’re practically

Pink Diva guaranteed to soak up all that vodka oozing from your pores. — BP Memphis Slam at Imagine Vegan Café This ain’t no Denny’s Grand Slam.

At Imagine, the signature breakfast mess pile is a meat-free plate of fluffy biscuits topped with tofu scramble (like a vegan version of scrambled eggs), country gravy, dairy-free cheddar sauce, and veggie sausage. That dish alone will cure what ails you, but for those Sunday mornings when you’re still a little drunk from the night before, I recommend ordering the Memphis Slam “Bianca-style,” with a side of two crispy deep-fried hash brown patties.

Chunk those on top and cover the whole plate in sriracha. — BP

Imagine Vegan Café The Sampler at Bryant’s Breakfast Bacon. Gravy. Biscuits. Forget a fancified brunch. To cure what ails you after a night of imbibing a few too many adult beverages, order the Sampler from Bryant’s. It’s way too much food for one person (eggs, sausage, grits, potato patty, and pork and dough), but when you’ve got a hangover hankering, this heavenly breakfast plate satisfies. — Shara Clark Hash Browns at CK’s They’re not scattered, covered, diced, peppered, or chunked, but the hash browns at CK’s certainly hit the spot at 3 a.m. These shredded browns are crispy on the outside, greasy on the inside, and best enjoyed with a side of piping hot, black coffee. Technically, it’s best to enjoy these BEFORE going to sleep to prevent an impending hangover from being the worst ever.

Pro tip: Flyer photographer Justin Fox Burks recommends the “hash brown continued on page 14

familiar morning-after miseries essentially to “methanol toxicity,” which is what happens “when we ferment and distill ethanol, which makes up most of the alcohol we consume.” And we learn from an article in the U.K. periodical The Daily Mail that “[i]n high doses methanol can make people go blind or even die because the body converts it to formaldehyde.”

Formaldehyde? The antique expression “getting pickled” is closer than we thought to the heart of the case.

The site recommends as a hangover remedy the consumption of “Pedialyte, long known for its use among children.”

Now, really, is Pedialyte that much more appealing than methanol and formaldehyde?

Much more like it are three familiar (and alcoholic) remedies freely available locally — the Bloody Mary, the mimosa, and the michelada.

Here’s how the friendly folks at the bar of the Bahama Breeze in Wolfchase do it.

For the Bloody Mary, two ounces of either vodka or tequila, with Bloody Mary mix, and garnished by lemon, lime wedges, and celery stalk as your taste requires. The mimosa is basically orange or pineapple juice and champagne.

At the Abuelo, across the road on Highway 64, there are three varieties of michelada: the Gato, the Tradicional, and the Roja. The last named is the most ordered. Ingredients include a salted rim, abundant ice cubes, lemon wedges, dashes of Worcestershire and/or Tabasco sauces (optional), Bloody Mary mix or plain tomato juice, and beer.

Do they work? Well, all these contain healthy juice nutrients, salt (helpful against dehydration), and a good stimulus to the bedraggled senses. Probably a safe amount of methanol. And they all beat hell out of Pedialyte. — Jackson Baker

continued from page 13 sandwich,” an off-menu concoction that involves tucking hash browns between two slices of toast. — BP Fried Rice at Yum’s on Jackson Yum’s — the chain of neon-lit, Chinese food/sandwich shop/fast-food joints — are all over the city. But I’m partial to the Yum’s on Jackson and Hollywood for one reason — the portions of fried rice are massive! A small fried rice (less than $5) fills a Styrofoam takeout container to the brim, and it’s most certainly enough for two meals (or for one really hungry hangover). I prefer the vegetable fried rice, but ham, chicken, and shrimp fried rice are also available. — BP Two Timer at Ubee’s For whatever reason — science, I think — greasy foods top the hangover craving list. When something light and healthy won’t suffice (and, really, it just won’t), go for the Two Timer, a double-patty, double cheeseburger cooked in Ubee’s aged, seasoned grease.

They’re open ’til 3 a.m. and they deliver, so, technically, you could be proactive and order this before bed. Will eating a burger while drunk prevent a hangover? It’s worth a try. — SC

surprisingly crisp. Order off the menu, and it comes stuffed with shrimp. But I make a special request to swap out the shrimp for deep-fried cubes of tofu.

The dish is delightfully oily, which is why my friends and I have a New Year’s Day tradition of ordering Pho Saigon’s bánh xèo to heal our first hangovers of the year. There’s a crisp carrot-daikon slaw on the side that helps cut the grease and makes you feel like you’re doing something nice for yourself.

— BP Bar-B-Que Pizza at Garibaldi’s If you’re in the U of M area, you don’t even have to change out of your PJs for this one. They’ll bring the goods to you. And what better way to soak up yesterday’s booze than a pizza feast?

A good go-to is the Bar-B-Que Pizza, a cheesy, perfectly crispy crust topped with generous portions of smoked pulled pork. Throw in Miss Angie’s Italian Masterpiece (a salad piled high with veggies) for good measure. — SC

Pho Saigon Hungover? I’m Lovin’ It! On the exceedingly rare occasions when I wake and realize I was overserved the night before, I know exactly what I need to do: drive to the nearest place that serves a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Speed is of the essence. I don’t want to have to park and walk and sit down and look at a menu and be waited on by a chirpy server. I want to sit in my car listening to NPR’s Saturday shows while berating myself for being an idiot who’s way too old to be abusing his body like this.

(There’s a reason my old XTerra has stains on the passenger seat.)

True confession: I almost always go to McDonald’s. Their sandwich is perfection: a circle of scrambled eggs (or egg product?) topped with American cheese and a couple strips of bacon, all nestled on a gummy-soft biscuit. It’s the greatest alcohol absorber of all time. Order it with a cup of toohot-to-drink black coffee, orange juice, and a preshaped oval of “hash browns.”

Within minutes of finishing this magical mix of salt and meat and sugar and caffeine, you will feel much better.

Trust me on this.

Tackling Time

As men age, they need to consider three aspects of fitness. to not lift). Two days a week of intentional weightlifting is not enough to get you looking like Arnold.

ENDURANCE: Endurance training is simply engaging in any exercise that stresses our joints and muscles over a period of time and requires aerobic effort as opposed to anaerobic. This means endurance work requires a steady supply of oxygen to keep our body performing the way we want it to. The maximum rate your body can get oxygen into your blood and deliver it to your muscles so they can contract (work) is known as your max vO2.

Our max vO2 determines our stamina and can decrease by as much as 10 percent per decade. Obviously this decrease can have profound effects on our endurance levels. The irony is that just increasing our cardio activity isn’t enough to increase our max vO2. We need to mix our training up to increase our endurance. Don’t hesitate to lift weights and then hit the treadmill or track on the same day. Taxing our bodies aerobically and anaerobically in the same workout will lead to faster gains in endurance and stamina.

AGILITY: Agility is the ability to stop, speed up, or change direction without losing control of our body.

This section is also about core strength, as our core is what keeps the rest of our body from tumbling over when our feet suddenly have to stop moving.

Life is full of potential stumbling hazards like slippery floors, cracks in the sidewalk, and steps we might not have noticed were there. By strengthening our core through exercises like push-ups, planks, and almost any correctly performed weight-lifting exercise, we will reduce our chances of face planting.

Sometimes just stopping in our tracks isn’t enough though. We may need to suddenly leap over a puddle or maybe change direction quickly to avoid stepping on something. Our ability to move our feet quickly while maintaining control over our hips and torso can be improved by incorporating directional change drills into our training. “Directional change drills” is just a fancy way of saying go one way quickly and then change direction without losing time or falling down. Agility ladders are a fantastic way to become more agile. They are also inexpensive and easy to store.

A

bout a year ago, after I turned 46, I began feeling a pain in my left calf.

At first, it bothered me only at night, but the pain began to increase in frequency and intensity.

One Saturday morning, as I was leading a group of clients out for a run, my left leg gave out completely. I stumbled a little, only to have its use immediately return. I was shaken up enough to finally surrender my ego and pay a visit to a chiropractor.

The X-rays they showed me that day were a bit startling. It was obvious that my spine was a mess, and that mess was starting to affect my mobility. I have been hard on my body over the years, and until my leg started giving out, I’d been training as if I were still 25. But a non-functioning leg and some cringe-worthy X-rays were proof: I was getting older.

Obviously, as we age, our bodies change, but that doesn’t mean that we should spend life after 40 plodding along doing steady-state cardio (jogging, cycling, etc.), never pushing ourselves to perform at a higher athletic level.

That said, getting older comes with some realities, so we want to make sure that as we push ourselves to be more athletic, we do it safely. Three components of fitness that decline as we age are strength, endurance, and agility. With just a little bit of focused effort, we can keep those areas sharper for decades.

STRENGTH: As we age, our muscle mass decreases. This is called sarcopenia.

Living a sedentary lifestyle can cause us to lose up to 10 ounces of skeletal muscle a year. Some studies show that we can lose up to 30 percent of our muscle mass between the ages of 50 and 70.

Lifting weights is beneficial for a number of reasons. The muscle fibers needed to generate enough force to lift something heavy degenerate more rapidly than the ones used for slow, steady endurance work.

So even if we jog 25 miles a week, we still may have muscles that are atrophying.

The good news is that age-induced sarcopenia is reversible. Just hit the weights.

If you aren’t sure how to get started, do a little research on your own, hire a trainer, or join a group class.

Lastly, don’t worry about “getting big” (I hear this frequently used as an excuse

Toto

Sarah Lasko as Dorothy and Nigel as Toto in “Over the Rainbow”

By Chris Davis

Make no mistake, The Wizard of Oz has one star, and he walks on four legs. When the touring show docks at the Orpheum, Dorothy’s canine companion, Toto, will be played by a pair of rescued terriers named Nigel and Loki. Both were adopted and coached by Bill Berloni, an unconventional animal trainer with a great origin story.

Berloni wasn’t supposed to work with critters. He wanted to be an actor and landed an apprenticeship working backstage at the Goodspeed Opera House in central Connecticut. The Goodspeed’s a professional house known for introducing musicals like Man of La Mancha and Shenandoah, and in 1976, it was trying out an unknown piece called Annie based on the popular Little Orphan Annie comic strip. They needed a dog to play Sandy.

“They called trainers in New York, but they were too expensive,” Berloni says. “The producer was stuck and needed a sucker. So I was called into the office, young and naive. He said. ‘How would you like a part in one of our plays and your Equity card?’ So I said, ‘Sure.’ And he said, ‘All you have to do is find and train a dog for no money.’”

“I’d never been to an animal shelter before,” Berloni says. He’d never thought about animals having an “expiration date” before. “And I was profoundly moved by what I saw.”

Although the first production of Annie was a huge flop, Sandy was a hit and Berloni was invited to train another rescue dog when the musical opened on Broadway a year later.

“And so I became a famous animal trainer,” says Berloni, who continues the practice of rescuing dogs and making them feel at home on stage.

Americana artistic

All American

By Chris Davis Unlike today’s terrible candidates, Mitt Romney sure had a way with words.

“I believe in an America,” he said, back in the good old days when only serious men were allowed to run for president, and he was a real contender. Not only did Mittens believe in America, he believed in an America where millions of Americans “believe in an America.”

“That’s the America millions of Americans believe in,” he concluded presidentially. “That’s the America I love.” Crosstown Arts is using Romney’s word salad to promote “Say Hello to America,” an all-American group exhibition taking aim at nonsense politics.

Outspoken collage-maker Brantley Ellzey is one of more than 40 artists contributing work to “Say Hello.” He’s showing an American flag made from his favorite medium, rolled up magazine pages. In this case, it’s Cosmo.

“It’s part of a series contrasting flag-waving preoccupations with real American pop culture,” Ellzey says. “So I collected very high-circulation magazines.” He also reproduced text from the magazine’s cover and sandblasted it onto his flag’s glass frame: “Seven Strange Ideas Guys Have About Sex.” “Let’s face it,” Ellzey says. “Guys do have strange ideas about sex. Especially elected officials.”

“Say Hello to America” was conceived and organized by artist and Crosstown Arts co-founder Christopher Miner.

Participating artists include Nick Canterucci, Jeff Unthank, Stephanie Wexler, Jay Etkin, Jan Hankins, Taylor Loftin, and Lance Turner.

his Friday, the two most prominent music venues in town will hold tribute concerts honoring the late, great Purple One. The New Daisy will host an evening of “Catalog Sessions” documenting the music of Prince with a performance of three different sets of his music, while Minglewood Hall will be hosting a “Memphis Does Prince” benefit with all the money going to St. Jude. Much like the Minglewood show, “Memphis Does Bowie,” curated by Graham Winchester, the “Memphis Does Prince” benefit this Friday features a ton of local musicians covering Prince’s music. On the other side of town, the New Daisy will have Larry Springfield along with Chris McNeil and friends on hand to perform Prince covers all night long. I caught up with Winchester to learn more about his tribute concert at Minglewood Hall this Friday. — Chris Shaw

future shows as well. Everybody at St. Jude has been incredibly enthusiastic, appreciative, and even surprised at what is going on.

The Memphis Flyer: How will this be different than the “Memphis Does Bowie” benefit?

Graham Winchester: The band lineup is very different, which I’m excited about. Through these “Memphis Does...” benefits, I want to incorporate as many local artists as possible. The music itself is also very different stylistically. Bowie definitely had some party tunes in his catalog, but not to the extent of Prince. I think this show will be one for the dancers.

How will the show be formatted?

How many songs does each band get to play? Will there be deep Prince cuts or solid hits all night?

Most bands will be playing three or four songs each. Toward the end of the night, my band is going to play seven or eight songs, and we’ve incorporated several special guests into our set.

After that Hope Clayburn plays for about 45 minutes, then Steve Selvidge plays the final 45 minutes. This time around I wanted to get a few headliners to play some solid, full sets so the night ends with a good flow. Overall, there are over 60 songs being played, so there is a good mix of hits and deep cuts.

Prince, much like Bowie, had a pretty unique, instantly recognizable style of music. Did that factor into how you picked the bands?

I definitely tried to pick bands that have an upbeat, funky vibe. There is also a strong need for great vocals and guitar work with this benefit. I didn’t get every band I wanted, but I got the main ones, and I’m happy with the results.

How appreciative was St. Jude about the Bowie benefit?

They were extremely appreciative and have been so helpful the second time around.

I’ve had several meetings with employees at the hospital about not only this benefit, but how they can help with

The Bowie benefit was a huge success. Do you expect a similar turnout?

I feel like the turnout may even be slightly larger than last time. I think there’s a lot of momentum and expectation going into this second benefit. My goal is to raise $25,000 this time.

Talk about the after party that’s 21 and up. What’s that going to be like?

My good friend Graham Burks is going to play the after party with his band mars HALL. It’s in 1884 Lounge, connected to the main room of Minglewood Hall, so it’ll be a great way to continue the Prince party without having to drive anywhere. There may be some impromptu collaboration involving all the musicians after mars HALL is done.

“Memphis Does Prince,” featuring Steve Selvidge, Hope Clayburn, Winchester and the Ammunition, the Incredible Hook, Southern Avenue, Clay Otis and the Addults, Chinese Connection Dub Embassy, Lightajo, the Erotic Thrillers, Marcella Simien, Another Green World, Kitty Dearing, Jesse Davis, and more Friday, June 10th at Prince Minglewood Hall. 8 p.m. $15-$17. All ages.

BUILT TO SPILL AT 1884 LOUNGE Boise, Idaho, indie-rock legends Built to Spill play 1884 Lounge this Tuesday night. Formed in the early ’90s by guitarist Doug Martsch, the band immediately gained notoriety for their folk-infused indie rock, and by 1995, the band landed a deal with Warner Bros. Records, the label they still call home today. Built to Spill’s latest album, Untethered Moon, was released in April of 2015, just in time for Record Store Day. Untethered Moon sees the band staying in the same lane as many of their classic albums, even though it took six years for the band to release, making for the longest drought in the Built to Spill discography. While many of the relics of ’90s indie rock should have hung it up at the turn of the century, Built to Spill’s music still sounds as authentic as ever without re-treading what made the band popular in the first place.

Touring with Built to Spill is Lenguas Largas, the Tuscon, Arizona, group that has loose connections to Memphis and Goner Records. The soft-psych band has been kicking up dust for nearly a decade, and their latest LP, Abba Daddy, was released this April on Red Lounge Records, the label that’s brought you music from bands like Lover, Overnight Lows, and the Hussy. The single from Abba Daddy, “Heavy Bubbles,” is as chill as psych-rock gets, with hazy vocals overtaking an acoustic guitar riff that floats behind a solid bass groove.

Rounding out the bill is Whispering Wires, another band that hails from Tuscon, Arizona. Whispering Wires are also a psych/indie band, but they’ve got a little more aggression in their sound compared to fellow Arizonans Lenguas Largas, and the exposure Whispering Wires receive on this tour should lift the band from their relatively unknown status. Tuesday’s gig is 18 and up, and you might want to purchase tickets ahead of time. — Chris Shaw Built to Spill, Lenguas Largas, and Whispering Wires, Tuesday, June 14th at 1884 Lounge. 7 p.m. $23-$25.

irk Caliendo comes from a big Italian family based out of New York, and communing over a homecooked meal using old family recipes is part and parcel to his identity.

For many years he sought to share that experience with his community.

In mid-April that wish came true for Caliendo.

He and his wife Kristen opened The Pasta Kitchen in Collierville.

“Our motto is ‘Our family feeding yours,’” general manager David Nestler says.

Caliendo and team used the build-your-own-bowl trend as the groundwork of the eatery, with several house-made sauces and different pastas, including at least one daily scratch-made noodle, to choose from,

followed with fresh veggies and proteins to toss in the bowl.

“Our sauces and recipes are family recipes dating back generations,” Nestler says.

The build-your-own-bowl option starts at $8.95, which includes the pasta, sauce, and veggies. Each protein added costs $2.

Signature dishes such as homemade lasagna, stuffed shells, and chicken marsala start at $9.95 and top out at about $13.

“We are a scratch kitchen. All of our sauces are made daily from scratch, and our ingredients are as fresh as possible,” Nestler says.

That includes the tiramisu ($6).

They offer several gluten-free options and whole grain and veggie pastas.

In addition to striving to be as New York Italian as possible — “any

products that are not made in-house are sourced from a purveyor in New York,” according to Nestler — the Pasta Kitchen strives to maintain “putting out a hot, fresh, quality dish in under 10 minutes.”

It seems to be working for them.

“Collierville has been very receptive and supportive to what we’re doing.

Every day is better than the previous,” Nestler says.

Even New York loves it.

“We’ve had New Yorkers come in and say, ‘Wow, that’s really close to back home,’” Nestler says.

The Pasta Kitchen is is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 316-5119 or go to thepastakitchen.net.

shoppers at the longest-running Tennessee farmers market which operates six days a week, and attendees of the numerous expos or arena shows.

The Agricenter is owned by Shelby County and run by the nonprofit Agricenter International, and in its 30-plus years, it has never hosted a fund-raiser.

That is until last year.

More than 350 people hoofed around the dirt floor of the ShowPlace Arena, perusing auction items and taste-testing what some of Memphis’ finest chefs concocted using ingredients

grown by the farmers market’s vendors.

“It was so well-attended, we decided to continue it this year,” Christine Donhardt, director of communications for the Agricenter, says.

On Friday, June 17th at 7 p.m. the Agricenter will host its second annual Feast on the Farm, held again in the ShowPlace Arena — boot party, folks — featuring 12 chefs plucked from the bounty of exceptional eateries Memphis has to offer.

“We’ll have Logan of MasterChef Junior, which we’re excited about, and this year a couple of them will be using sorghum grown on our farm at the Agricenter,” Donhardt says.

The silent auction features 90 items, and Terri Walker will lead the live auction, which will include a diamond ring priced at $1,700.

Live entertainment will be provided

by Jamie Baker and the VIPs as well as Donna Wolf playing the fiddle.

“We’ll have a lot to keep people busy,” Donhardt says.

“We’re definitely on track for what we did last year. Maybe we’ll expand sometime in the future,” she says.

Tickets are $100 until June 13th when they will increase to $150.

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

Spinal Tap Eternal Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping expertly skewers pop music.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping starring Andy Samberg

authorship of a verse leads to Lawrence “Kid Brain” Dunn (Schaffer) leaving the group and retreating into seclusion at a Colorado farm. Owen “Kid Contact” Dunn stays on as Conner’s DJ, whose job is reduced to pressing play on the iPod while Conner preens in front of an arena full of screaming girls.

Following the Tap template, Conner’s new album is not good, despite the fact that he hired more than a hundred producers to make it for him, and what was envisioned as a triumphant world tour is slowly smothered under a blanket of public fiascos. But that’s where the Spinal Tap comparisons cease to be useful, because where Reiner’s film was a strictly vérité affair with only minimal scripting, Popstar’s screenplay has clearly been honed through several drafts. Spinal Tap plays out like a D.A. Pennebaker documentary, with long, single takes producing laughs by revealing character quirks. Popstar is a more conventional comedy, resorting to over-the-shoulder dialog shots and a throw-it-all-against-the-wall approach to gag delivery.

The supporting cast is a who’s who of comedy in 2016.

Sarah Silverman nails the Fran Drescher role of put-upon publicist, while SNL legend Tim Meadows is Conner’s conniving manager. Imogen Poots and Bill Hader both create memorable characters as Conner’s girlfriend and roadie, but there’s not enough time to get to know them amid a flurry of cameos. The movie’s first big laugh comes courtesy of a bit of effortless schtick from none other than Ringo Starr, who leads a cast of musical luminaries including Questlove, Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey, Pink, RZA, and Seal, who steals the show when he is attacked by wolves.

Befitting our current cultural condition, Popstar is brash and direct where Spinal Tap was sly and stealthy. It may not be groundbreaking, but it’s consistently funny, and it proves that in the music biz, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

self-importance as arena rockers circa 1983. That was when first-time director Rob Reiner gathered some former sitcom stars, including Michael McKean from Laverne & Shirley and SNL member Harry Shearer, to make a realseeming documentary about a fake band. This Is Spinal Tap was not hugely successful upon release (partially because people, including Ozzy Osbourne, weren’t clear that it was fake), but it became a cult classic that inspired a generation of comedians. The improvisational style pioneered by Reiner and later perfected by Tap member Christopher Guest in Best In Show, has been hugely influential on modern comedies, including those created

by Popstar executive producer Judd Apatow.

Handing Lonely Island $20 million and unleashing them onto the pop music landscape is a no-miss proposition. As you would expect from the guys who put Justin Timberlake’s dick in a box, they have the setting and references down cold. Conner starts off as a member of a trio called the Style Boyz who look a lot like the Beastie Boys. But fame goes to their heads, and a dispute over the

n 2005, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, collectively known as Lonely Island, were the right guys in the right place at the right time. The second comedy short they produced for Saturday Night Live, a parodic rap video called “Lazy Sunday,” came along just a few months after YouTube’s debut signaled the beginning of the web video era. When people started getting the hang of uploading and sharing videos, “Lazy Sunday” was among the first links passed around, making the Lonely Island guys the template for YouTube celebrity.

The group’s latest venture into cinematic comedy, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, is true to the group’s roots in that it features a passel of new, funny, pop hiphop songs performed by Samberg as Conner Friel, aka Conner4Real, the former boy band frontman who has gone solo and blown up to Justin Bieber levels of celebrity.

But the film also sees Lonely Island acknowledging their influences. Popstar is a mockumentary that applies the Spinal Tap equation to the contemporary music biz.

And I’ll have to say, it’s about time somebody did this.

The Biebers and Kanyes and Katy Perrys of the world long ago elevated themselves to the same level of mockable

Me Before You starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin

F I L M R E V I E W B y E i l e e n To w n s e n d

Maneater Emilia Clarke and Will Traynor get terminally romantic in Me Before You. We begin our story in the women’s restroom of the Paradiso movie theater.

I am peeing. I am also listening to the sound of five or six teenage ladies crying — full on, chest-heaving bawling. One of them is angry: “Why would they think that ending was OKAY?!”

I am ashamed to leave the stall. I did not cry at all during Me Without You, the summer’s romantic-tragic blockbuster about assisted suicide. I listlessly examine my ply of toilet paper and ask myself: What’s wrong with me? Am I even human? How did I get here?

Surely, it’s the algorithm’s fault. In bleak mid-winter, I began to see the ads every time I opened my browser. The plot of Me Before You is adeptly summarized by the estimated 18,000 different versions of the trailer, pushed to my smartphone via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, whatever. Checking my feeds for the past few months has been like walking around wearing a human billboard that reads “EILEEN IS GONNA PAY 11 BUCKS

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

TO SEE THIS SHIT.” You can learn this much from 30 seconds of nested advertisement: Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke, or the Mother of Dragons) is a kind, small-town woman with wacky taste in sweaters and few ambitions. She becomes a caretaker for total babe Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), a paraplegic man whose life of wealth and success has been cut short by a spinal cord injury. He has a bad attitude, but Lou brightens it. You can tell when they fall in love because Lou starts wearing sexier outfits. Then we learn that Will has been planning to kill himself. Can her love save his life? Has it saved hers?

There should be an adjective for romcom movie plots that are just Pride and Prejudice with modern gilding. We could call them Pri-prejudicial. They work off the Austenian premise that when a blankslate woman meets a rich and smart and inevitably rude man, she can teach him about having a heart. He, in turn, will neg her into a broader understanding of the world.

These Pri-prejudicial plots are usually successful because women like myself pour ourselves onto the shell of a female lead. The fantasy is that we don’t need to offer anything, not even a whole human personality, in order to be loved by a man

with limitless hotness and power. We are relieved of the burden of our own growth.

When Lou proclaims to Will, “I have become a whole new person because of you,” it reverbs through an echo chamber built inside the hollow husks of a century’s worth of empty women characters.

This is where MBY gets interesting.

Spoilers ahead. Instead of the usual ending, MBY kills Will Traynor. He sacrifices himself so that Lou can have a full life. He leaves her a trust fund and instructs her to enjoy herself.

We have our usual all-knowing paternal archetype in Will, a father, boyfriend, and omnipotent God wrapped

MOVIES

into one, who teaches Lou to love classical music and watch movies with subtitles.

But in order for Lou to fulfill the character growth portended by her sexy midmovie makeover, the dude has to actually die. We get a Lou, then, that is both the perfect wife/caregiver heroine AND the perfect independent woman. Is this a radical feminist tale in which Lou, mother spider, must eat her husband postconsummation to gain her full power?

It is, at least, a working excuse for why I exited the bathroom and raised an eyebrow at my weeping peers. Toughen up, ladies. We’ve got some men to eat.

THE LAST WORD by Jen Clarke

Peabody Place

It’s not going to be an aquarium and tropical bird sanctuary, much to my chagrin.

It’s not going to be a fancy grocery store with old-world wines, grab-and-go lunches, and myriad unpronounceable cheeses, unfortunately.

Or a Target. Damn it.

Know what else Peabody Place isn’t going to be?

An empty building.

And that right there is enough of a reason for any Memphian to celebrate.

When Peabody Place opened, it was the coolest thing going.

Well, to me at least: I was fresh out of high school and enjoying what little freedom is available to an 18-year-old still living at home in Collierville. I’d trek out there with a few friends, and we’d, well … I guess you could say we did a lot of loitering, come to think of it.

We might catch a movie at the Muvico. Sometimes we’d bowl or play video games at Jillian’s and split a burger and fries. We’d bypass the Gap and Victoria’s Secret — there were locations much closer to home — to pass hours in Tower Records. We’d read the imported magazines, sample new CDs, and thumb through the bargain DVDs, but rarely did we walk out of there with a yellow bag.

In other words, I’m probably part of the reason the whole thing failed. Sorry.

Could the property have been salvaged as a retail concept if not for the recession? Looking at the condition of other malls in the city and elsewhere across the country, I wouldn’t put my eggs in that basket.

So what do you do with 300,000-square-feet smack in the middle of downtown Memphis? You bring in one of the city’s biggest companies and its 1,200 employees and you set off a ripple that can transform the area forever, that’s what.

Y’all. I don’t mean to devalue the impact of ServiceMaster’s decision merely to stay in Memphis. Their departure could have been disastrous for the city, and I’m glad that out of the 10 to 13 cities they considered, the one they chose was “home.” But I haven’t been this excited about Peabody Place since I was old enough to order my first drink at Club Atlas.

I know it’ll be a while before they move in, but I am ready to roll out the red carpet for ServiceMaster right this moment. I don’t mind that a thousand more vehicles on I-240 will probably slow down my morning commute. I can accept a longer wait in the food truck lines at Court Square on Thursdays. Construction might gunk up Second and Third streets, but it’s a small price to pay for the luxury of not having an abandoned mall in the center of all the action.

I’m hoping ServiceMaster’s arrival inspires a little restaurant boom. (Sidenote: There are a few spots for lease on Madison, so if you have an idea and a few grand lying around, you should get to work, ASAP.) But in any case, I welcome all 1,200 employees to discover the best lunch spots (three tacos for $8 at Maciel’s, thank me later); the best wifi-enabled places to escape the office; the joy of an afternoon cheesecake break at the Peabody Hotel deli.

Bring ’em on. There’s plenty of room. Because downtowns are supposed to be busy. Bring the jobs, and the people follow.

Provide those people amenities, services, things to do, places to live. Then come visitors who want a piece of the action — they’ll need a place to stay. Yeah, I’m oversimplifying things a little — but that’s the recipe.

I’ve worked downtown for a decade, and so much has improved these past few years. We’ve been fortunate the improvements have not come at the expense of the history in our buildings: the U of M law school is one particularly gorgeous example. Hopefully, the Tennessee Brewery will be another. The Chisca connects the core and South Main so seamlessly I’ve honestly forgotten what it was like before. Just think — in a few years we’ll have forgotten what it was like to walk, cringing, past that abandoned mall.

But for every Chisca, there’s still a Sterick lurking on the skyline. There are still too many empty storefronts and not enough hotel rooms. The trolleys and public transportation in general seem to be in a perpetual state of “TBD.” But the gaps are filling in, slowly but surely. ServiceMaster is filling a massive one.

Jen Clarke is an unapologetic Memphian and digital marketing strategist.

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

ServiceMaster’s decision to move into Peabody Place is a big win for Memphis.
