HISTORY REPEATING Once again, a blustering and deceitful president will get a lot of people killed BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

S

econd verse, same as the first/a little bit louder and a little bit worse. I was 23 in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, a justout-of-college reporter for a local newspaper in Florida, part of a generation that had been shocked out of a brief era of unquestioned American hegemony by 9/11 and watched an entire country rally, drone-like, around a ground war in Afghanistan. No sooner had the Taliban been dislodged than the administration turned its eyes to a new target – a more dangerous target, we were told. One with Weapons of Mass Destruction. With Nuclear Ambitions. Run by a Madman. An Axis of Evil™. A country that, any day now, would attack the United States, so we had to act now or risk a “mushroom cloud,” as President George W. Bush ominously intoned. I was skeptical of the Bush administration’s eagerness for war, of the constant drumbeat of stern men warning of immediate danger. But I was also young and naive, or perhaps not yet jaded enough to imagine that my government would wholesale manufacture a justification for war – that it would lie to the world and to the American people as a

program, and, more recently, engaged in a catastrophic proxy war against Saudi Arabia in Yemen. These are just some of the second- and third-order effects of Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003 that reverberate 17 years later. For all of their foreign policy experience, his war planners never envisioned any of it – or anything like it. They thought it’d be simple; we’d be “greeted as liberators.” Instead, we got endless war. I won’t pretend to be an expert on Qassim Suleimani, the high-ranking Iranian official that the U.S. assassinated via drone strike in Baghdad early last Friday. Like most Americans, I’d never heard his name before he was killed. A New Yorker profile from 2013 paints him as a powerful yet invisible behind-the-scenes operative in the Middle East, “assassinating rivals, arming allies, and, for most of a decade, directing a network of militant groups that killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq.” He was also an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, another blood-soaked human being who, in the convoluted politics of the Middle East, has been battling ISIS. Suleimani had come to Iraq after Iranian-backed Iraqi

For the first time in his presidency, Donald Trump is about to face a policy crisis that stands to get a lot of people killed. What are the chances he’s thought through what happens after he waves his dick around? pretext for war. I distrusted Dubya and his cronies, but I figured there had to be some legitimate casus belli. Besides, for the most part, the national media wasn’t challenging the president’s claims, and neither were leading Democrats. The Iraq War cured me of such naiveté. My government lied to me, to the public, to the world. It did so brazenly and callously. It invented evidence to sell a war of choice – a war its chickenhawk proponents had been itching to fight for a decade. The fact that not one of the war’s architects is rotting in Leavenworth is a moral stain that won’t be easily erased. But although Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and the like had been fantasizing about toppling Saddam Hussein for years, and although these men had been in and around the highest levels of government for decades, no one thought through what would happen afterward. Defeating Saddam – who had no WMD, let alone nuclear capabilities – was easy, but, as we soon learned, there was no plan for the vacuum of power. Everything soon went to shit. American soldiers ended up in a sectarian civil war. In time, the chaos gave rise to ISIS, which led to more fighting in Iraq and Syria, which had its own devastating civil war, which produced a refugee crisis in Europe, which prompted a surge of right-wing populism, which led, in part, to Brexit. Iraq’s collapse opened the door for its regional adversary Iran, which seeded Shia militias throughout the Middle East (including in Iraq), took steps toward its own nuclear

militias marched on the U.S. embassy on Tuesday, imprisoning diplomats for 24 hours. (No one was harmed.) That was in response to the American bombing of three Kataib Hezbollah militia sites in western Iraq and two more in Syria, which killed about two dozen people. That was in response to Kataib Hezbollah allegedly firing 31 missiles into an American base on December 27, which killed an American contractor. This strike goes well beyond what the military calls a “proportional response.” Though the American government considered him a terrorist, Presidents Bush and Obama had passed on opportunities to kill Suleimani, the ayatollah’s friend and the second-most powerful person in Iran. (By longstanding executive order, the U.S. does not “engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination,” though “assassination” is never defined.) President Trump’s move wasn’t just taking out a bad guy. It was an escalation, akin to Iran offing an American secretary of defense or a four-star general. It was an act of war – conducted without congressional notification, much less approval. The context shouldn’t be ignored: President Trump is headed into a re-election year with lackluster approval numbers and facing an impeachment trial. The day he authorized the strike, evidence surfaced that Trump had personally directed the Office of Management and Budget to withhold Ukrainian aid while he was pressuring that country’s president to investigate his political rival, even as the Pentagon worried that doing so was both illegal and

contrary to America’s interests. You’d be forgiven for suspecting the dog is being wagged. But I’m not sure that’s the case, because I’m not sure that much thought went into it. Trump is nothing if not impulsive – and nothing if not driven by an atavistic impulse to prove himself tougher than his predecessor. Obama had negotiated with Iran; Trump was going to kill its No. 2. Iran jabbed; Trump pulled out the sledgehammer. To Trump, foreign policy is a dick-measuring contest; as long as he has to U.S. military to fight for him, he has no need for the soft power of diplomacy. But there’s a reason Presidents Bush and Obama (who was never shy about hunting human beings with drones) declined to kill Suleimani when they had the chance: No one knows what happens now. In its statement, the Defense Department said it took out Suleimani to deter future violent acts. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted a video that showed what he said were Iraqis “dancing in the street.” In any event, that seems unlikely to be the final word. Iran’s supreme leader vowed “forceful revenge.” The State Department told Americans to leave Iraq. Iraq’s prime minister “strongly condemned the assassination,” called Suleimani a “martyr,” and labeled the strike a “flagrant violation of Iraqi sovereignty” that violated “the conditions for the presence of the American forces in Iraq.” Say what you want about the Bush administration, but they were the A-team of the neoconservative movement. Yet they failed to see beyond the first move, even. Trump’s foreign policy crew, on the other hand, isn’t the A-team of anything. His National Security Council is a dysfunctional mess. He’s on his fourth national security adviser – the first a convicted felon, the second short-tenured, the third fired via Twitter. The president has sought to purge dissenters and surrounded himself with sycophants. He’s degraded intelligence officials while seeking guidance from talk-show hosts. As important, Trump has strained the alliances he’d need to fight Iran. The Europeans have been trying to make Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran work despite Trump pulling out. Now that hope is gone. And it’s increasingly likely that Iraq will ask the U.S. to withdraw its 5,000 troops from the country. For all of this, Trump’s never had a coherent strategy in Iran; he paints himself as a noninterventionist, yet everything his administration does points toward wanting to force regime change. So now, for the first time in his presidency, Donald Trump is about to face an honest-to-god foreign policy crisis – one that stands to get a lot of people killed. What are the chances that he’s thought through what happens after he waves his dick around? As with Saddam Hussein 17 years ago, the question isn’t whether we could kill Suleimani. Nor is it whether he deserved to die. The question is whether assassinating him is worth the blood we’re about to spill – and whether we even paused to ask ourselves that. Second verse, same as the first/a little bit louder and a little bit worse.

people who died

Some lives lost in 2019, and the amazing legacies they left behind

BY LE E DE V I TO, V I N C E G R Z E G O R E K , SO LO M O N G USTAVO, T H ADDEU S M CCOLLU M , MAT T H E W MOY E R , D OY L E MUR P H Y, DAV E P LOT K I N AND J E SS I C A B RYC E YO UN G

As each year comes to a close, media is awash with “in memoriam” lists, littered with names you know: big names with big lives. While we’ll mourn them – Elijah Cummings, Peter Fonda, Diahann Caroll, Doris Day – our annual list celebrates the lives of those whose deaths probably didn’t cross your radar. Too much happened in 2019, a decade’s worth of chaos crammed into 12 months. Among the scandals, battles and Congressional hearings, some of the most interesting people – and cats – slipped away with too little time allotted to their deaths. That’s why once again we’ve assembled this list to remember a fascinating few who made our world a little more intriguing. Here you will read of

a conspiracy-juicing rock club owner, an activist educator who took on the establishment and won, a stereotype-crushing astrologer, an unfairly maligned ballplayer and the last living carver of Mount Rushmore. It’s hard to say what 2020 will bring, but we’re sorry these provocateurs, mold-breakers and agitators won’t be around to see it with us.

Williams continued to struggle with addiction, but he also continued to make music, releasing I Wanna Go Back to Detroit City in 2016. He died in Chicago at age 82 from cancer, but he never stopped: His manager, Kenn Goodman, told Billboard a week before his death that the singer “was committed to trying to sing and record again.” – Lee DeVito

Scott Walker, avant-garde musician Jan. 9, 1943–March 22, 2019

Bernice Sandler, catalyst of Title IX March 3, 1928–Jan. 5, 2019 In 1969, Bernice Sandler was a bright young instructor at the University of Maryland, hoping to land a full-time spot on the faculty. She knew she was a good teacher, and there were seven open positions. So when she was barely considered, she asked a male faculty member if he had any insight. He conceded she was easily qualified, “but let’s be honest, you come on too strong for a woman.” Sandler, who died in January at age 90, probably repeated that quote thousands of times in interviews and speeches in the five decades that followed. “Sometimes people ask me what inspired me to get involved in women’s issues,” Sandler said in 2012 after receiving a human rights award. “I have to tell you, I wasn’t inspired at all. I was mad.” She began researching sex discrimination and found an executive order barring organizations that received federal money from discriminating based on race, religion, national origin or gender. Armed with that information, Sandler filed complaints against 250 universities, battling the system that routinely discriminated against female teachers and students. She partnered with crusading Congresswoman Edith Green to pass Title IX. The 37-word bill, signed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon, has since become a versatile and powerful tool for fighting sex discrimination. Most famously, it has been applied to collegiate sports, guaranteeing female athletes opportunities unheard of before. Sandler spent the rest of her life advocating for equal rights. She served as chair of the National Advisory Council on Women’s Educational Programs under presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame and has been cited as a hero by some of this country’s top athletes. But she never forgot that line about coming on “too strong for a woman.” It turns out, she was too strong to be stopped. – Doyle Murphy

Ken Nordine, voice-over artist April 13, 1920–Feb. 16, 2019 You may not know Ken Nordine’s name, but chances are you’ve heard his voice. Over the course of a 60-plus-year career, Nordine put the “art” into the concept of a voice-over artist. His silky baritone graced the airwaves of Chicago radio stations, narrating “The World’s Great Novels” and other programs. He was also the voice behind several educational films, so if your teacher ever used a woefully

out-of-date filmstrip in class, you might recognize his timbre. His most enduring creations, though, were his Word Jazz albums, on which, over backing tracks of cool jazz, Nordine tells stories or acts out scenarios with a particular focus on meter and sound. Nordine’s success with the Word Jazz series earned him a weekly program of the same name on flagship NPR station WBEZ in Chicago, and the show ended up running for more than 40 years. His 1967 Colors album, in which Nordine expounds upon the personalities of various hues, remains a favorite of those interested in offbeat curiosities from yesteryear. (It grew out of his radio commercials for the Fuller Paint Company.) Lines from his recordings have been sampled in songs by Aesop Rock, Pizzicato Five and the Orb, and in 2007, David Bowie Himself asked Nordine to perform at the High Line Festival in New York. Nordine passed away on Feb. 16, 2019, at the age of 98, preceded three years earlier by Beryl Vaughn, his wife of 71 years. – Thaddeus McCollum

Andre Williams, R&B singer Nov. 1, 1936–March 17, 2019 Not many people get a big break in the music business. Andre Williams got two. Born in Bessemer, Alabama, Zephire “Andre” Williams first hit it big as an R&B singer when he moved to Detroit in the early 1950s and won an amateur night competition. He soon signed to Fortune Records, becoming lead vocalist in the Five Dollars, then rechristened Andre Williams and the Don Juans. A prolific writer, he also scored solo hits, including “Jail Bait,” “The Greasy Chicken” and “Bacon Fat,” which cracked the top 10 on the Billboard R&B chart. He also wrote Five Du-Tones’ “Shake a Tail Feather,” later performed by Ike & Tina Turner (and much later, featured in The Blues Brothers and Hairspray), and even served a brief stint as a songwriter for Motown, co-writing Stevie Wonder’s first song, “Thank You for Loving Me.” But by the 1980s, Williams hit rock bottom: Addiction found him homeless in Chicago. In the 1990s, however, Williams was rediscovered by the rock & roll revival scene. That led to records like Greasy, released jointly on indie labels Norton and St. George Records in 1996, and Silky, released on In the Red in 1998. More indie rock collaborations followed, with Williams recording tracks with Jack White, Mick Collins of the Dirtbombs, and the country band the Sadies. His proto-hip-hop singtalking style, penchant for profane lyrics, and sartorial preference for flashy suits and matching hats earned him the nickname by some of “the godfather of rap.”

How could one craft an appropriate epigraph to sum up the singular musical life of Scott Walker? Can you imagine Frank Sinatra in his later years collaborating with a doom metal band? Or Justin Timberlake chucking away stardom for cigarettes, sunglasses, Bertolt Brecht and slabs of raw meat as percussion instruments? Walker did it his way, and then some. Fresh from a stint as a teenage session musician in L.A., Walker (né Noel Scott Engel) became one-third of the Walker Brothers in the mid-1960s; they were immediate sensations in the U.K., mixing beat-combo moves with symphonic grandeur, yielding hits like “Make It Easy on Yourself” and the immortal “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.” Soon enough, Walker found that the screaming fans and the pop life weren’t for him, at one point apocryphally retreating to a monastery to get his head together before being ejected by the monks as fans besieged the gates. Walker struck out on his own, and from 1967-1969 crafted four of the most exquisite and heartbreaking albums of all time, the eponymous Scotts 1 through 4. This was Walker at his most iconic: sunglasses, shag haircut and a soaring, unbelievably gorgeous voice offering no hope whatsoever. Latterly hailed as the gospel by artists from David Bowie to Thom Yorke, these albums had the net effect of destroying his career, eventually forcing him back into the arms of the Walker Brothers for a reunion in 1975, but Scott couldn’t even do a cynical cash-grab right, penning the sinister “Nite Flights” and “The Electrician,” two gleaming hits of dystopian electro-pop that still sound state-of-the-art, pointing the way to possible sonic futures even now. From there, Walker began his gradual disappearing act, retreating to a life based around the simple pleasures of going to the pub and watching regulars play darts, bicycling and seeing movies. He’d emerge every few years with ever-more ambitious and mind-bending solo work – Climate of Hunter, Tilt and The Drift – but by the time Walker was given the hagiography treatment in the 2006 documentary 30 Century Man, it was clear he wasn’t going to give fans a triumphant return to the stage. Instead of the nostalgia circuit, he gave them strange and beautiful work like the instrumental piece for dance And Who Shall Go to the Ball? And What Shall Go to the Ball?, collaborations with Sunn O))) and Bat for Lashes, a final solo album, Bish Bosch, and two film scores for Brady Corbet. Walker passed quietly this year due to complications from cancer, enigma fully intact. – Matthew Moyer

Agnès Varda, filmmaker and artist May 30, 1928–March 29, 2019 She’s sometimes called the mother – or grandmother – of the French New Wave of cinema, but Agnès Varda was more of an Auntie Mame type: whimsical, generous, but nobody’s doormat or den mom. Her work was marked by a formal brilliance that influenced her fellow Nouvelle

Grumpy Cat, internet cat April 4, 2012–May 14, 2019 Though known across the internet for her grumpy facial expression, Grumpy Cat lived a sweet, short life in Morristown, Arizona. Officially named Tardar Sauce, she earned the nickname “Grumpy Cat” after a photo of her was posted to Reddit in 2012 by Bryan Bundesen, the brother of her owner, Tabatha Bundesen. The image quickly entered meme-dom, with users posting funny captions over it, and the Bundesens soon parlayed Grumpy’s viral fame into commercial success. Grumpy Cat scored a Friskies sponsorship, and her image was sold on T-shirts and coffee mugs. At the height of her success, the Bundesens estimated Grumpy Cat earned them “low-six-figures” in 2013, allowing Tabatha to leave her job at Red Lobster to manage Grumpy Cat’s schedule. As of October 2019, Grumpy Cat had 8.2 million total followers on Facebook, 2.7 million followers on Instagram, 1.5 million followers on Twitter, and 282,000 subscribers on YouTube. She died following complications from a urinary tract infection. – Lee DeVito

Russ Gibb, rock & roll promoter June 15, 1931–April 30, 2019 Vague filmmakers, but her fierce humanism – a deep concern for women and workers – buoyed her above the style-obsessed pack. Her recent collaboration with French muralist JR, Faces Places, gained her more attention in 2018 than she’d seen since the ’80s. With her two-toned bowl cut, sneakers and loose tracksuits and pajamas – although, n.b., they were by Gucci – Varda was a welcome haimish presence on the awards season’s red carpets, looking like a comfy little kitchen witch among the gazelle-ish starlets. She inhabited the film world in the same way – showing up when and where and exactly how she chose, following no rules but her own. Rather than stick with the narrative films that won her acclaim (Cléo From 5 to 7; One Sings the Other Doesn’t) she followed her muse to documentaries (Mur Murs; Jacquot de Nantes). She made lightly dramatized biopics of her loved ones’ lives, cast family members as actors, and inserted herself into her documentaries; she made dramas, comedies, a sci-fi parable and a feminist musical. More rule-breaking: After losing patience with the traditional dance of studio backing, she founded her own production company to handle her films and those of her husband, Jacques Démy; but she ran the office (located across the street from her home) like a shop, often handselling DVDs to visitors or allowing them to watch her editing. “I love being able to have the direct contact with people who are consumers. It’s like a peasant, you know, who grows tomatoes and you can come and buy the tomatoes at the farm,” she bubbled to Sight + Sound magazine in 2011. Her final film, Varda by Agnès, was released posthumously in November. It’s a self-directed retrospective of her 60-year career, a knowing and playful wink to an oeuvre preoccupied always with human behavior in the face of mortality. – Jessica Bryce Young 12

Dan Robbins, inventor of paint-by-numbers May 26, 1925–April 1, 2019 Dan Robbins was a little-known commercial artist at a Michigan paint company in the late 1940s when his boss asked him for an idea to help sell paint sets to adults. Robbins eventually settled on a system that allowed even the most unskilled, inexperienced customer to create paintings that looked professional, if not exactly imbued with an artist’s originality. His paint-by-numbers kits were a bona fide sensation by the early 1950s. The early offerings were faint line drawings, created by Robbins himself, intricately divided into sections that corresponded to pre-mixed paint colors. Soon, an army of artists, working under the Craft Master brand for Detroit-based Palmer Paint Co., were churning out kits based on Robbins’ model. Using the slogan “Every man a Rembrandt,” 20 million kits were sold in 1955. Artists and critics were appalled that painting had been turned into a step-by-step instruction guide and massmarketed, but Robbins didn’t seem to mind. “I remembered hearing that Leonardo used numbered background patterns for his students and apprentices, and I decided to try something like that,” he once told the Associated Press. The paint-by-numbers craze crashed within a decade, and Robbins’ boss sold the business. But he made a mark, even penetrating an art world that derided his efforts. Andy Warhol riffed on the model, and even the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History displayed an exhibition of paint-by-numbers pieces in 2001 and 2002. Robbins died at 93 knowing he had influenced legions of people who might have never picked up a brush if not for him. “We like to think dad was one of the most-exhibited artists in the world,” his son Larry Robbins told AP. “He enjoyed hearing from everyday people. He had a whole box of fan letters.” – Doyle Murphy

If Iggy Pop is the Godfather of Punk, then Russ Gibb is its uncle. After working as a Detroit-area schoolteacher, radio DJ and promoter, “Uncle Russ,” as he was known, became a major booster of Motor City rock & roll when he founded the Grande Ballroom in 1966, inspired by a visit to San Francisco’s Fillmore. The venue became known for booking local acts like the Stooges, Alice Cooper, the Amboy Dukes and the MC5, who served as the venue’s house band and recorded their debut, Kick Out the Jams, live there. That’s all in addition to booking national acts like Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Cream and the Who, among others, many of whom played some of their first U.S. shows at the venue. Gibb was involved in other milestones in rock history as well. In 1969, while working as a part-time DJ on WKNR-FM, Gibb took a call from a listener who claimed the Beatles’ Paul McCartney died and was replaced with a lookalike, and that there were clues in the band’s lyrics and album artwork. The conspiracy theory soon went viral. (Perhaps it would come as no surprise that much later in life, Gibb would promote Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories about Barack Obama’s birth certificate on his blog.) Gibb closed the venue in 1972. But in the 1980s, he was back in the music business, providing financial backing for the Graystone Hall, a Detroit punk venue. All the while, Gibb worked as a history and media teacher at Dearborn High School; he died in April at 87 of natural causes. The Grande, however, long abandoned and now sporting an MC5 mural, could soon see a new life: It’s now owned by Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church, who said they might lease it out for events – including possible music concerts. – Lee DeVito

Norma Miller, the “Queen of Swing” Dec. 2, 1919–May 5, 2019 People were done with the waltz and tired of the tango as the ’20s came to a close. The craze that came next was


swing, a vivacious, freewheeling dance born in Harlem. Swing spread across dancefloors the world over with the help of the dance group Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, named for the Lindy Hop, an especially athletic member of the swing dance family. It was a specialty of Norma Miller, a dancer who earned her spot in a group that counted Dorothy Dandridge and Sammy Davis Jr. among its members, and whose skill and renown earned her the moniker “Queen of Swing.” Miller was a woman of many specialties. A Harlem native, she worked as a choreographer, actor, author and a Redd Foxx-backed comedian. But being a black girl in early 20th-century America was a circumstance with limited paths toward success. Her mother cleaned houses, and Miller faced a likely similar life of hard labor, but she was clearly an anointed talent. By 5, Miller was wowing locals at talent shows. She and her preternatural prance were discovered outside the famous Savoy Ballroom and by 14, she was in Paris performing with Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers. Through the ’30s and ’40s, the group set the standard for swing on international tours and in movies like the 1941 major motion picture Hellzapoppin’. Miller, who passed away this year of congestive heart failure at 99 in her Fort Myers home, was not just the youngest member of Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers but also the last surviving member. Into her 90s, she was teaching swing courses, speaking at engagements, choreographing dances and composing music. In the documentary about her, Queen of Swing, Miller summed up the secret to her long and active life: “Keep on swingin’.” – Solomon Gustavo

Bill Buckner, baseball player Dec. 14, 1949–May 27, 2019 When he hung up his cleats after a playing career that stretched across an incredible four decades, one of only 29 ballplayers to do so in baseball’s entire history, Bill Buckner laid claim to an incredible list of achievements. And those numbers and stats look even more impressive now, 29 years after his retirement. He ranks among the top 200 men to ever play the game in hits (2,715, ranking 66th), RBIs (1,208, ranking 150th) and extra-base hits (721, ranking 174th). He was an All Star, a batting champion and an evangelist for the game long after he stepped off the field, until his death this year from Lewy body dementia at the age of 69. After 22 seasons with stints spanning the Red Sox, Dodgers, Cubs, Angels and Royals, Buckner moved to Boise, Idaho, with his wife and three children, where he stayed involved with the game, joining the Boise State baseball team as a hitting instructor in 2012. For all his gaudy stats and his contributions that helped the Red Sox make the 1986 World Series, his legacy was much more. As Gary Van Tol, who was the Boise State coach while Buckner was with the team, said, “He taught me humility, dignity, grace and patience.” And yet, he’s remembered in popular culture for one error, an infamous dropped ball during the 1986 World Series when he was at first base for the Red Sox. The Red Sox lost the series and Boston fans, rarely noted for the virtue of forgiveness, focused their ire on Buckner, raining taunts, boos and even death threats on him. The heckling was picked up by opposing teams and their fans, and followed him for years. Seventy-eight players, many of whom played far fewer games than Buckner during his career, have made more errors at first base than the legendary player. None of

them were forced to move to Idaho to spare themselves and their family the taunts and hatred of sports fans and reporters who care far more about the results of games than the humanity of the players that play them. – Vince Grzegorek

Sahar Khodayari, activist birthdate unknown, 1990–Sept. 9, 2019 Football – not the American kind – is the world’s sport, in part because of its low barriers to entry. You don’t need any expensive equipment to start a soccer game, just a ball. But in Iran, half the population is barred from entering sports stadiums. Women have not been allowed to watch their favorite teams in person since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. This has led some women to disguise themselves as men in order to attend games, even though being caught likely means imprisonment and possible torture. One woman, 29-year-old Sahar Khodayari, decided to take the risk to see a match at Tehran’s Azadi Stadium between Esteghlal FC – her favorite team – and Al-Ain FC. She dressed as a man, but didn’t make it to her seat before being noticed and arrested by security guards for “openly committing a sinful act.” After being released on bail, Khodayari was told that she was looking at a six-month jail sentence. In protest, she left the courthouse, poured gasoline on herself and lit herself on fire. She died in hospital a week later. Since her death, FIFA, the international governing body of football, informed Iran that women must be allowed to attend scheduled World Cup qualifying matches taking place in Iran. On Oct. 11, the Iranian national team beat Cambodia 14-0, cheered on by 3,500 women sitting in a segregated section of the stadium. – Thaddeus McCollum

John Witherspoon, actor and comedian Jan. 27, 1942–Oct. 29, 2019 “John Witherspoon is black history,” Twitter’s Rembert Browne tweeted after the comic actor died of a heart attack at his Los Angeles home in October at age 77. It was a fair assessment: Witherspoon’s filmography spanned decades, including appearances on The Richard Pryor Show, the Friday franchise, Martin, The Fresh Prince of BelAir, The Wayans Bros. and The Boondocks, as well as Jay-Z and Goodie Mob music videos, among others. Born in Detroit to a family with 11 siblings, Witherspoon got his start taking theater classes in the Motor City in the early ’70s. He got into stand-up at the behest of his acting instructor, who thought he’d be funny in a holiday comedy show. Witherspoon soon relocated to Los Angeles, opening for the legendary Richard Pryor at the Comedy Store. Later, Pryor cast him as part of his short-lived NBC variety show in 1977 before it was canceled for being too risqué. For many, though, Witherspoon will always just be “Pops” – the amusingly cantankerous father to Ice Cube’s Craig Jones in the 1995 stoner comedy Friday. Witherspoon would reprise the role in 2000’s Next Friday and 2002’s Friday After Next, and was cast in a similar role as “Granddad” in the comic strip-turnedAdult Swim cartoon The Boondocks, which debuted in 2005. After years of development hell, a fourth Friday film was finally given the green light in 2017, but was only in pre-production at the time of Witherspoon’s death. He was also set to appear in a recently announced Boondocks reboot, though that project had not begun production yet either. In an odd way, Witherspoon got to enjoy a final goodbye. In 2012, when a false report of his death went viral, Witherspoon reacted to the news just as Pops

Doane Robinson, the South Dakota state historian who first conjured up the idea of a sweeping mountainside sculpture to drive tourist traffic to a neglected part of the state – let us also immortalize Nick Clifford, who died this year at the age of 98. Clifford was the last living worker who helped build Mount Rushmore, a job he fell into after being recruited by the Borglums to South Dakota to play for a baseball team they’d put together. Work began in 1927 and lasted 14 years, and when Clifford turned 17 in 1938 and could qualify to work the site, he jumped at the chance to join the other 400 men. Half a century later Clifford was unendingly proud of his contribution and was often present at the Mount Rushmore gift shop to sign copies of his book about the work, which paid tribute to the other workers who created the monument. Recognition for them was hard to come by prior to Rushmore’s 50th anniversary, but with the celebration came interviews and a chance for Clifford to expand on his and their histories, while paying respect to its designers. “None of us were sculptors,” Clifford, who was also a World War II veteran, said in one interview. “We had only one sculptor – that was Mr. Gutzon Borglum.” A few years before his death, Clifford said: “I feel like Mount Rushmore was the greatest thing with which I was ever involved. It tells a story that will never go away – the story of how America was made and the men who helped make it what it is today.” Clifford was one of them, and let us remember his story too. – Vince Grzegorek

Walter Mercado, astrologer March 9, 1932–Nov. 2, 2019 Walter Mercado was much more than a TV astrologer born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. By the time he died at age 87 on Nov. 2, he had created a cultural legacy far beyond the televised predictions viewed by millions of abuelitas across Latin America; Mercado had become an icon and inspiration for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual people living in Latinx society. “This is a culture that’s been dominated by machismo and homophobia for a very long time,” film producer Alex Fumero told Fox News upon his passing. “He was really brave.” It didn’t take clairvoyance to know Mercado’s on-screen persona, a stylistic cross between Carolina Herrera and Liberace, was an act of courage. He owned more than 2,000 capes and pointed to viewers through the camera lens with fingers adorned in colorful rings. He never publicly discussed his sexuality, but he definitely let audiences know which team he played for. In his decades of appearances on Telemundo Puerto Rico, Mercado became a common point of relation between superstitious oldsters and open-minded youth – perhaps even more so after he moved to Florida to broadcast on Univision. In college, he had studied pharmacology, psychology and pedagogy, before becoming a well-known ballet dancer and theater star, and later appearing in telenovelas. His fans will perhaps remember him most by his catchphrase, somehow even more meaningful after his death: “Pero sobre todo, mucho, mucho, mucho amor (Above all, much, much, much love).” – Dave Plotkin

Lil Bub, magical space being April 2011–Dec. 1, 2019

Barbara Hillary, adventurer June 12, 1931–Nov. 3, 2019 Barbara Hillary was not an explorer. Because she was the first black woman to reach the North Pole, and the first to summit the South Pole, she is often described as one, placing her in the company of intrepid trekkers like Robert Peary and Matthew Henson. She accomplished those firsts relatively recently, reaching the North Pole in 2007 and the South in 2011, a century after men first set foot on either pole. Hillary was something more: a cultural adventurer, charting paths untrodden by black women like her. But also paths that few dare traverse. The Harlem native, born in 1931, made her pole expeditions in her 70s (North, age 75; South, 79). She always wanted to travel and, after retiring after more than 50 years as a nurse, began making plans to visit nontouristy locations. How many black women before her, how many people in general, have seen Paris? Now, how many have been to the very tippy-top and very bottom of the globe? She went to Manitoba to photograph polar bears, and went dog-sledding in Quebec, and then she learned no black woman had been to either pole before and decided to be the one. Those treks are arduous, with stretches of intense hiking and skiing requiring immense stamina against harsh weather conditions that would hamper an athlete of any age. She hired a trainer and started eating more vegetables. It was the kind of challenge that appealed to Hillary, who habitually stared down towering obstacles throughout her life. She beat breast cancer in her 20s

and lung cancer at 67. In Queens, New York, she founded and was the editor-in-chief of The Peninsula Magazine, a nonprofit multi-racial publication that was the first of its kind in the area. She said she avoided stress and maintained happiness and a youthful, pole-summiting spirit, by choosing to stay unmarried. In 2017, she spoke to at the commencement of the New School, her alma mater, and advised the grads, “At every phase in your life, look at your options. Please, do not select boring ones.” That was Hillary’s style. She created her own desires, destinations that she reached by following a compass of her own making. – Solomon Gustavo

Donald “Nick” Clifford, Mount Rushmore carver July 5, 1921–Nov. 23, 2019 We build things, large and small, temporary and permanent, and then years later we marvel at them. The names attached, through the names of these things themselves – built by, named for or dedicated to – are monumental, notable ones. But we also marvel, perhaps without knowing or fully recognizing, at the people who built these things, the men and women who toiled in ways big and small, through ideas or labor, to make them reality. So for all the names associated with Mount Rushmore – the four presidents, to start with; followed by Gutzon and Lincoln Borglum, the father-son sculpture and artist team who designed the monument; followed still by

It’s been a bad year for viral cats. Not only did Grumpy Cat, perhaps the most commercial of all the internet animal celebs, die in May, but just as we finished putting this article together, the inimitable Lil Bub passed away in her sleep, victim of a persistent bone infection. Lil Bub’s “dude,” Mike Bridavsky, found her in an Indiana barn in 2011, the runt of a litter expected to die quickly due to her dwarfism and other genetic anomalies. Enchanted by her bulging eyes and stubby legs, Bridavsky took in the toothless, droopy-tongued “permakitten” and gave her a life beyond feline imagining, full of hand-fed fishy yogurt and specialized medical attention – and she returned his attentive care tenfold in grit, spunkiness, and adorable cheeps, snorks and chirrs. (Truly, Bub seemed to speak a language all her own, related to but not the same as regular housecats’ meows.) Not only did Bridavsky’s many Bub-centric bits of merch – socks, T-shirts, plush toys, fridge magnets – prove catnip to her internet fans, the monies raised were donated to various animal shelters and rescues for special-needs cats. And not only did Bub’s oddball mug feature on consumer goods, she starred in a Vice documentary (Lil Bub & Friendz), hosted 14 episodes of a talk show (Lil Bub’s Big Show, with guests including Michelle Obama and Steve Albini), recorded her own album (Science and Magic, with a cover illustration by Orlando artist Johannah O’Donnell) and guested on Run the Jewels’ feline remix album, Meow the Jewels. Bridavsky always claimed Lil Bub was a “magical space being,” and whether she came from outer space or not, she certainly seems to be magic – she raised $700,000 for animal charities in her short life, and brought immeasurable joy to millions. Good job, Bub. – Jessica Bryce Young

The most exciting element of this week’s Fringe Winter Mini-Fest is a world premiere from award-winning clown-provocateur Dandy Darkly

DANDY DARKLY IN ALL ABOARD!, 2019 | PHOTO COURTESY ORLANDO FRINGE

Between the shame of already there I’ve built a little performance niche What have your previous Orlando broken New Year’s resolutions and the depressing lack of daylight, we could all use a little artistic pick-me-up about now. That makes this weekend’s fourth annual Orlando Fringe Winter Mini-Fest (see page 32) the perfect post-holiday hangover cure. The January spinoff of the spring’s signature theater event takes over the Lowndes Shakespeare Center for four days featuring acclaimed encores from 2019’s Fringe festival, including John Mark Jernigan’s Goodbye (direct from NYC’s SoHo Playhouse) and John Michael’s Meatball Séance, alongside new-to-Orlando festival circuit hits like Jon Bennett’s It’s Rabbit Night!!! and Orlando Fringe theater producer Lindsay Taylor’s solo show, The Lightweight. And for the first time, Mini-Fest patrons can see staged readings of four shows that will return as full productions in May, or bring their children to a Kids Fringe “Mini-Mini-Fest” on Saturday morning. But the most exciting element of the Fringe Winter Mini-Fest is the opportunity to experience a world premiere from award-winning performer Dandy Darkly, the psychedelic storyteller behind All Aboard!, last year’s Critics’ Choice for Best Show. I spoke with Darkly – via his creator, Neil Arthur James – ahead of this Friday’s public debut of his latest piece, California Screaming! How did you initially get into the theater, and what was your career like before creating Dandy Darkly? My first big laugh was in kindergarten as the Cheshire Cat during a reading of Alice in Wonderland. I’ve been addicted to laughter ever since. Community theater. Drama school. Shakespeare. I “gave up” acting in my 20s, however, and began writing a fiction blog about this sissy exorcist named Dandy Darkly. And in 2010, I had an opportunity to bring him to life on the Stonewall cabaret stage. From

for myself that continues to grow.

Fringe experiences been like? Incredible! There’s nothing like Orlando Fringe. That sounds pandering, but it’s true. The enthusiasm for those crazy few weeks is unlike anything else. Last year was especially special. Dandy Darkly’s All Aboard! received the top honor on awards night.

What are the origins and influences behind your Dandy Darkly alter ego? Growing up I loved those hilariously mean-spirited comedians like Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly. Horror hosts, too – Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and the Cryptkeeper. It was a brand of campy dark comedy that this closeted country boy And why did you choose to debut a couldn’t define at the time but just knew it new show at Winter Mini-Fest? was fabulous.

Jack Jone forges new ground in the city’s Thai restaurant landscape BY FAIYAZ KARA

W

hen Dylan Eitharong, owner of Bangrak Thai Street Kitchen, sings the praises of a new kitchen maestro, well, you’re smart to listen to the starboy chef. Ever since Jack Jone, the maestro in question, took over the kitchen at SEA Thai, Eitharong has been trying to get others to join the chorus of Thai totalers who eat at the venerable East Colonial restaurant – recently remodeled and de-bambooed, I should add – for Jone’s Siamese creations. “Get the chef’s specials only,” Eitharong tells me in a text from Bangkok. “The rest is shit.” Clearly he doesn’t care much for SEA Thai’s core offerings, a catalog of dishes you’d typically find at any of the city’s neighborhood Thai joints. The restaurant, it seems, finds itself at a bit of a crossroads – should they cater to legacy customers pining for panangs and pad thais, or lure a newer, younger audience by advancing the cuisine? For now, SEA Thai is content to do both, and while that pad thai ($11.95) isn’t deserving of a scatological comparison, the plate of noodz was serviceable at best. Better mains: ginger duck ($13.95), served a-sizzle on a hot plate, and a pair of salads – the waterfall beef and papaya salads, both of

which were “as good as it gets” and “tasted like Thailand,” according to a musician pal of mine. And right he was. But we’ve come to sample Jone’s specials, presented four days a week from Fridays through Mondays, and many of them prove revelatory. If you count yourself among the many who sorely miss Bangrak’s khao soi, lament no more. The soupy dish of curry noodles ($12) brings a true taste of Chiang Mai to Colonialtown, and the eye-catching plating showcases Jone’s training and time spent at venerable spots like 1921 and Capa: egg noodles drowned in a gorgeous ruddy broth; chicken thighs stacked high; and an attentive and aesthetically positioned garnish of fried noodles, shallots and cilantro. The vertical presentation of the pad prik king ($17.50) sees a tower of whole soft-shell crabs battered in tempura, then pan-fried in red curry paste with shrimp fat and palm sugar, before being situated atop a makrut lime leaf. Incredible. “Did you get

OPENINGS The first Financier Patisserie outside New York City has moved into the old Rustic Table space on Park Avenue. Financier serves croissants, pastries, cakes and, bien sûr, financiers. They also serve sandwiches and plats du jour like cassoulet and boeuf bourgignon … Just down the road, Tabla, the well-received Indian restaurant near Universal, will open a second location in the space recently occupied by Laurel Latin Cuisine and Paris Bistro before that. The restaurant is expected to open by the end of the month … Tin & Taco has opened its fourth area location, this one in the former home of the Little Blue Donut Co. on Fairbanks Avenue in Winter Park … Babbi Babbi Korean Kitchen has opened in the old Pei Wei space at Phillips Crossing on Turkey Lake Road … Banh Mi Boy Café & Bakery has opened inside the Tien Hung Market on East Colonial Drive … Belicoso Cigars and Café has opened in Mills Park and it’s offering breakfast, lunch and dinner courtesy of Smoke & Donuts … At long last, Shaka Donuts has soft opened at 225 E. Michigan Ave. … Nearby, Kathi Rolls, serving the Indian street snack of paratha stuffed with meat, veg, eggs and more (think Indian-style burritos), has opened in the old Forever Naan space … And an un-closing to announce: Kim Wu Chinese Restaurant on Kirkman Road has announced that they will not be closing at the end of January after all.

the soft-shell crab?” Eitharong asks. Indeed I did – twice. Same goes for the glossy wings ($5.50), another fried wonder. These soak in a soy-tamarind marinade, are coated in tempura batter – but not overly so – then frizzled to a delicate crisp. Of the five specials Jone usually offers, at least one veers into the world of haute cuisine. Seared salmon salad ($12) may not sound very posh, but it’s refined to the core. The circular arrangement resembles a wreath on a plate: salmon interlaced with peaches, oyster mushrooms and fennel, beatified with coconut shreds, toasted rice, salmon roe, roasted nuts and a Thai chili jam vinaigrette. Dumpling fiends will revel in ever-so-delicate wontons ($5) of shrimp and pork poached in a master stock of pork bones, ginger and soy. Our only complaint was the tepid broth. Needless to say, the guests who joined me on both visits vowed to put SEA Thai on their regular rotation – when Jone churns out those wicked specials, it’s the best Thai restaurant in town, no question. And if you happen to be a SEA Thai regular who insists on ordering the same ol’ same ol’, then I’m afraid you don’t know Jack. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

The city’s first (to our knowledge) Saudi restaurant serves Bedouin-influenced rice-and-meat staples as well as Saudistyle Indonesian fare. Both gareesh, a savory chicken porridge topped with ghee-slicked caramelized onions, and remarkably thin and crisp beef den den make superior starters. Saudi rice dish mandi lamb and the Indonesian platter piled with everything from beef rendang to mysterious pasta with red sauce are more substantial offerings. The satay sizzles. Ending with passable kunafa is your choice. Open daily 5–9:45 p.m. No alcohol is served. 7044 International Drive, 407-203-3330; $$

The pizzas steal the show at this slick new vegan joint in deepest Windermere. The focaccia-like crust stands up to vegetable toppings (sogginess being a classic vegan pizza fail) and those toppings are fantastic: The perversely named “Meat Lovers” has roasted cauliflower, shiitake “bacon” slices, fennel-farro “sausage” crumbles and dollops of macadamia-nut “ricotta.” Also of positive note: perfect fries and thickas-a-concrete milkshakes. 5845 Winter Garden Vineland Road, Windermere, 407-349-8800; $$ n

George MacKay in 1917

WORLD WAR WON 1917 is last year’s best film BY CAMERON MEIE R

D

uring the World War I centennial remembrance last year, I wore my poppy proudly. I awoke at 6 a.m. Eastern time here in the United States to mark the “11/11/11” moment of silence. And I tried to imagine what it was like in the trenches for my great-grandfather and the millions of other men who served. My only regret was that the war was not being honored with a cinematic masterpiece like Christopher Nolan’s recent World War II epic, Dunkirk. With Sam Mendes’ 1917, the Great War has now been so honored. Inspired by the true tales of his grandfather, Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) has achieved a singular accomplishment, literally: a oneshot, real-time look at life on the front lines. Though the two-hour film is actually comprised of several long takes seamlessly sewn together to create the impression of continuous filming, the finished product is arguably the greatest single-take illusion in cinema history. And it’s also the best movie about the Great War since Lawrence of Arabia in 1962.

As with Dunkirk, the story is remarkable but, at its core, rather simple. Mendes’ film, which he penned with Scottish writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns, focuses on two young British soldiers tasked with the impossible: In broad daylight, they must enter no man’s land, navigate muddy bomb craters, slip through barbed-wire barricades, climb corpses of both horses and humans, and locate another infantry division – all while avoiding German attack. They must then relay an improbable message to cancel an attack that could cost more than a thousand lives. This unenviable circumstance is due to Operation Alberich, a tactical German retreat meant to entice an Allied advance that will facilitate a well-calculated and savagely effective ambush. And to add even more human drama, plus some shades of Saving Private Ryan, the brother of one of the two soldiers is serving in the potentially ill-fated division. But the two infantrymen, Lance Corporals Blake and Schofield, are far from green. This is year three of the war, and the

But instead of wearing the prize proudly, he swapped it for a bottle of wine. “I was thirsty,” he tells his comrade. As Blake, Dean-Charles Chapman (Blinded by the Light) gives a relatable and heartbreaking performance. But it’s George MacKay (Captain Fantastic), as Schofield, who exhibits extraordinary acting resolve and plain old physical endurance, as he’s required to run, jump, tumble and emote in exquisitely choreographed and undoubtedly grueling long takes. Some more well-known actors – I won’t ruin the surprise – turn up in tiny but impactful parts, but it’s Dennis Gassner’s revelatory production design, Thomas Newman’s score and, most of all, Roger Deakins’ otherworldly cinematography that are the true stars. In a year that has brought us the dark intensity of Joker, the joy of Toy Story 4, the existentialism of Ad Astra, the spiritual têteà-tête of The Two Popes and the humanity of Marriage Story, Mendes’ 1917, like the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the war to end all wars, stands head and shoulders above the rest. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx in Just Mercy PHOTO COURTESY WARNER BROS.

BY STEVE SCHN EI D ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Just Mercy It’s sometimes easy to forget how necessary movies like Just Mercy are. I mean, everybody knows our justice system routinely convicts black folks of crimes they didn’t commit, right? But then somebody like Mike Bloomberg gets up at a campaign rally and declares he has “no idea” if the cops in the Central Park Five case acted in bad faith. (REMINDER: He owns a news service.) So yeah, there’s definitely a call for a picture like this, which dramatizes the real-life case of an idealistic young lawyer (Michael B. Jordan) who tried to overturn the death sentence handed down to an innocent man (Jamie Foxx). Oh, and it all happened in Alabama, the same state where Bloomberg made his proclamation of ignorance just last week. Damn, 2020: If you’re going to keep giving up the serendipity like this, I’m going to have a lot more time for CrossFit. (PG-13) Like a Boss Remember Startup.com, the 2001 documentary about two guys who created an internet firm together and then proceeded to tear each other apart? Well, we must live in an age of true gender equality, because now there’s a movie about women doing that. Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne play friends who found a cosmetics company, then have to fight to preserve their business and their relationship in the wake of a buyout from an industry titan (Salma Hayek). One could make a good case that using the boardroom as the backdrop to a three-way cat fight isn’t a particular blow for feminism, but you at

least have to admire the filmmakers’ canniness in casting their leads across the white, black and Latinx spectrum so no particular race or ethnicity comes across as the villain. Unless you count that unseen Asian dragon lady who is, by implication, just lying in wait to scoop up the company when it lands on the auction block. (R) Underwater Here’s a riddle: Why is the movie Underwater like your hopes for a bright future and a robust democracy? Because it was finished two years ago! Yes, that’s how long it’s taken for this deep-sea thriller to make it to theaters so it can show us what happens to a bunch of stressed-out researchers after an earthquake leaves them vulnerable to mysterious predators. Star Kristen Stewart says the hardest part of making the movie was weathering the cold, wet conditions of a shoot that relied heavily on practical effects. Oh, and of course acting. (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Good Newwz In this Hindi-language comedy, in vitro fertilization becomes problematic for two couples when they discover their sperm has been swapped. Boy, and I thought my Amazon Prime was a problem. (NR; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk and XD and Touchstar Cinemas Southchase 7) Ip Man 4: The Finale Star Donnie Yen has announced that this installment of the Chinese martial-arts franchise will be its last. Yeah, and your parents vowed to never have another child. Yet here you are. (NR; playing at Universal Cinemark at CityWalk and XD) orlandoweekly.com

ZOOZTOPIA From busking to Beyoncé, it’s been quite a trip for Too Many Zooz BY BILL FORMAN

T

oo Many Zooz have come a long way from their early days busking on subway platforms beneath the streets of Manhattan. The self-described “brass house” trio’s first video was a single-camera, single-take, and completely improvised jam that they recorded in the Union Square subway station when they were just starting out. It was posted to YouTube in 2014 and has gone on to rack up more than 7 million views. In the years since, they’ve collaborated with high-profile celebrities like Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks, as well as more cutting-edge artists like British soul singer Jess Glynne and EDM producer Kaskade. They’ve now reached a level of pop-culture success where their sax player is having to sue Fortnite developer Epic Games for purportedly ripping off his likeness and “signature moves” without permission. As impressive, and highly unusual, as this list of achievements may be, Too Many Zooz trumpeter Matt Doe is no less proud of the trio’s humble underground origins. “At the time, it felt like the music world viewed us as second-class citizens, and I

couldn’t understand why they didn’t get it,” he says of the group’s subterranean playground. “But, for us, it was literally such a no-brainer. Every band in New York City is looking for a rehearsal studio, right? And we not only had a rehearsal studio, we were getting fucking paid – and paid well – to rehearse.” While the vast majority of street performers earn their rent by sticking to a repertoire of familiar cover songs, Doe and his partners in crime – drummer David Parks and baritone saxophonist Leo Pellegrino – decided to take the opposite route. “We would go down to the subway and just improvise,” says Doe, who studied jazz performance alongside Pellegrino at the Manhattan School of Music. “We were literally just making shit up.” In the process, the trio created a largerthan-life sound that, when necessary, could blast its way through the busiest rush-hour frenzy. Once the station emptied out, they’d venture into even more uncharted musical terrain, playing off the otherworldly reverb and echoes of the subway tunnels. It wasn’t long before the band’s irrepress-

ible music and eye-catching dance moves reached well beyond those subway platforms. They began touring America, then Europe, while recording and releasing one album and five EPs over the next five years Too Many Zooz’ latest single and video, an instrumental cover of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy,” was released in mid-September. Two weeks later, it was closing in on a quartermillion views. The track craftily juxtaposes musical genres, shuttling from Dixieland to dubstep, with a number of genre-blurring stops along the way. As it turns out, the band’s fans weren’t the only ones paying attention. After a string of lower-profile collaborations, they received an unexpected invitation from Beyoncé to appear on her 2016 album Lemonade. The full band participated on the track “Daddy Lessons,” while Doe also contributed trumpet to “Formation.” “Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m the last person to get excited about all this,” says Doe. “Of course, I’d be lying if I said that getting a call to work with Beyoncé wasn’t exciting, but, for me, I try to approach every session the same way. If you’re going to take the job, do the job, you know what I mean? And with Beyoncé, it was the same thing: You show up and do your very best with what you have – which, in my case, is my trumpet – to serve her record.” But when it comes to their own music, Too Many Zooz gleefully celebrate random acts of creativity. “It’s not that there’s no such thing as a bad idea, because there are bad ideas,” Doe says. “But it’s more like, everyone in this group is entitled to say, play and act however they want. None of the three of us are ever going to be like, ‘Yo, don’t play that,’ or, you know, ‘don’t say that.’ Like, we just don’t give a fuck.” Doe views the bigger picture in much the same way. “We live in a world where people will make fun of you and condemn you for just trying something different,” he says. “So if you’re in a place where your ideas are constantly challenged, and there’s this dictatorship over your creativity, fucking leave. Just run so far from that. Because if you hold onto that mentality, you’ll never ever evolve or change.” music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U THE COMMONHEART AT THE NEW STANDARD | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

Remember when 2020 seemed

so abstract? Now here it is, staring back at you like some sort of life reckoning. OK then, all in with the new. And there’s no more proper way to break in a new year than with something completely fresh. Now you’re about to see the word “new” dropped a conspicuous amount of times but, trust, it’s apt.

NEW VENUE PEEK: THE NEW STANDARD

Meet new music joint the New Standard. Indeed, it’s the latest iteration of the venerated Dexter’s of Winter Park. That’s a fact you may want to soon disregard, however, because this place is already looking to turn the page on that old heritage. Yes, immortalizing the actual word “new” in the name is a pretty good omen of a pivot. What was initially being rolled out in late October as Dexter’s New Standard is, in a rather short amount of time, becoming referred to as just the New Standard. That metamorphosis is apropos because this new look and location is a near-total overhaul that launches the place out from its origins as part of the old guard and onto Winter Park’s new frontier. To be clear, the New Standard is foremost a restaurant, but instead of any ordinary eatery, it’s essentially a music supper club. It’s a full-service dining and drinking establishment with the programming and facilities of a live venue, much more even than when it was just Dexter’s. No half-stepping here – they’re coming out of the gate even more deeply invested in the live music con-

The Commonheart are a group that sound like they come from a latitude much deeper south than Pittsburgh, that’s for damn sure. And yet, live, they’re pure soul grandeur

there, it is unmistakably showtime. And unlike the previous Dexter’s, the stage can be seen well from every table in the house. In terms of show experience, the New Standard is like a nicer, more intimate B.B. King’s, only with an actual local soul instead of the corporate beat of a tourist attraction. This venue is an inviting new hot spot for grown-ups to get a live fix. From the looks of this night, it seems the neighborhood is already getting in step.

THE COMMONHEART AT THE NEW STANDARD, cept, which makes the New Standard DEC. 30

unique on the scene. The place’s programming proves it has sights set on being a nightspot focused on live music. Its live bookings – handled primarily, and notably, by accomplished local musician Thomas Wynn – have gotten distinctly more robust since its move from Hannibal Square out to Ravaudage, featuring acts seven days a week and sometimes even two different bills in a single night, like the evening I stopped in. Clearly, the New Standard is looking to run both loud and late. It’s likely no accident that it happens to be staffed by a remarkable amount of noted Orlando musicians like Wynn, who themselves get up on stage to play occasionally. Inside, there is, of course, a sizable dining room and bar of requisite quality for the wine-and-dine Winter Park set. But stretched across the whole of the broad, facing end of the space is a prominent stage fully outfitted with professional club sound and lighting. So when there’s something going on up

Now on to the band that brought me out. Justifying their opening slot for JJ Grey & Mofro at House of Blues a couple nights before, the Commonheart are a group that sound like they come from a latitude much deeper south than Pittsburgh, that’s for damn sure. They roll deep, eight members strong with organs and a horn section. Live, they’re pure soul grandeur. Even amid all that lush sonic majesty, though, lead singer Clinton Clegg is, without question, the bursting heart of the band. I shiver at the thought of noting his uncanny Bob Seger resemblance because of the baggage it brings, but imagine that admittedly rich voice devoted instead to the soul gospel of Al Green and you’ll begin to get the stirring force of this powerhouse vocalist. Surrounded by his big band like a mighty choir and invoking the audience like a congregation, Clegg and company conduct their shows as more of a revival than a standard concert. Hallelujah. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Orlando Fringe Winter Mini-Fest THEATER

So what were your excuses for not attending Orlando Fringe festival last May? We bet none of them apply to this year-opening small-scale sampler. “It’s too long.” Rather than two weeks of shows, Winter Mini Fest is a compact four days – more of a long weekend than a term at summer camp. “There are too many choices.” Instead of the full festival’s 150-ish shows, you’ll have “only” 22 shows and four staged readings to choose from, which might prove easier for the indecisive. “Too hot.” Well, it ain’t exactly icy here in January, but you probably won’t be dripping sweat. “Too expensive.” Nope, not even close; try again. “No parking!” You might have a point there, if enough people start taking advantage of this intimate, hand-picked selection of shows, but for now, that excuse won’t fly either. See you at the Shakespeare Center! – Jessica Bryce Young various times Thursday-Sunday | Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins St. | 407-648-0077 | ofwinterminifest.com | $3-$15 Jody Christopherson in St. Kilda

A Certain Kind of Light: The Art of Kieran Castaño ART

Kieran Castaño’s meticulously and expressively rendered pointillist paintings are celebrations of trans identity: frequently humorous, often incisive tableaus of the intersections of public and private life. Many of the paintings featured in A Certain Kind of Light, a solo exhibition of the artist’s works opening at the Mills Gallery on Friday, are portraits, painted in acrylic in Castaño’s representational style but scintillating into abstraction at close range. These portraits are juxtaposed with visual references to the artist’s own life and identity, the farcical political landscape of the last four years, and loving homages to queer culture expressed through a powerfully satirical sensibility. – Leah Sandler 6:30 p.m. | through Jan. 31 | Mills Gallery, 1650 N. Mills Ave. | facebook.com/millsgallery.orlando | free

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Friday, Jan. 10

Grace Potter MUSIC

She’s ditched former backing band the Nocturnals, but Grace Potter won’t let the sun go down on her. The split seems to be echoed in the title of her latest solo album, Daylight, which sees Potter return to a bluesier sound after spending a few years on the poppier side of things. The return to her roots came just in time for Potter to make her Grand Ole Opry debut this past November. Potter kicks off the extensive U.S. leg of her current tour this week, with this show at House of Blues being only the third date of the tour. See what the new day has in store for her. – Thaddeus McCollum with Devon Gilfillian | 7 p.m. | House of Blues, 1490 E. Buena Vista Drive | 407-934-2583 | hob.com/orlando | $31-$75.25

Un Hombre Solo MUSIC

The first Panic! event for 2020 aims the spotlights and smoke machines squarely at New York dark synth project Un Hombre Solo. Balancing a performative flair for the dramatic with the frantic EBM charge of the likes of Dive and Nitzer Ebb, this should be a set worth witnessing. Speaking of artists worth witnessing, local electronic project Mother Juno hasn’t played locally for a good bit and probably has a whole new set of songs to blast your eardrums and get them shoulders and feet a-twitchin’. – Matthew Moyer with Mother Juno | 9:30 p.m. | Stonewall, 741 W.

Melrose in the Mix: Christopher Belt MUSIC

Right before Xmas, we had the pleasure of taking in a rare solo set by Christopher Belt at Winter Park’s Dining Room house space. From the unassuming way that Belt picked up his guitar and immediately started gently playing fingerpicked melodies, to an abrasive middle section where he worked away at the surface of his instrument, scraping and tapping for new sound possibilities, we were enraptured. Belt confessed that he does not do solo gigs that often, so all the more reason to hightail it over to the Melrose Center this Saturday. The combo show-recording session is free but we recommend that you RSVP, as these tend to fill up fast. – MM 3:30 p.m. | The Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center, 101 E. Central Blvd. | 407-835-7323 | ocls.info/melrose | free

Saturday, Jan. 11

KRS-One MUSIC

Hip-hop scholar and innovator KRS-One hasn’t played Orlando for a few years now, but 2020 is starting musically strong with the MC delivering a masterclass in rap. KRS-One has been at it since the late 1980s, when his project Boogie Down Productions released the still-untouchable Criminal Minded, and from then on it’s been a neverending stream of unforgettable anthems – “Sound of da Police,” “South Bronx” – and audacious moves – collaborating with REM, penning the weighty The Gospel of Hip-Hop, lecturing at colleges like Virginia State University and Sacramento State – and there’s still more to come from KRS-One. This show will most likely sell out, so we recommend you buy your tickets early. – MM with E-Turn, MC Spitsoul, Swizzy B | 8 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S.

It’s kind of surprising that Walk Hard, a musical parody of rock & roll biopics, didn’t do well at the box office. The 2007 film only grossed $20 million upon its release, but word of mouth has turned it into a modern cult classic. The film stars John C. Reilly as the titular Dewey Cox, a stand-in for every Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Ray Charles to ever have a film version of their lives made. The script, by director Jake Kasdan and the King of Aughts Comedy, Judd Apatow, skewers everyone from the Beatles to Bowie, with plenty of references geared toward rock history buffs. The songs written for the soundtrack are genuinely good, with the dirty-minded “Let’s Duet” as an obvious standout. So if you hate musical comedies, be warned: You don’t want none of this shit. – Thaddeus McCollum 9:30 p.m. | Enzian Theater, 1300 N. Orlando Ave., Maitland | 407-629-0054 | enzian.org | $9

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I have a question about porn, and I can’t think who else I can ask that will give me an intelligent, educated answer. In modern porn, anal on women is gaining popularity. I’m a fan of anal with my boyfriend. However, in porn, it seems like the gaping asshole is a thing, a sought-after thing, a desired thing. And I guess my boyfriend and I don’t get it. We can get quite vigorous when we have anal sex, but MY butthole never gapes open like that – my boyfriend assures me that when he pulls out, it goes back to its cute little flower-like effect. Why is the gaping asshole so popular? I promise this is not a frivolous question or just for titillation. We really do wonder: What gives? Gaining Anal Perspective Entails Serious Question It’s funny how a chief fear about anal sex – that your asshole would gape open afterward and poop would fall out while you walked down the street – became eroticized. (The asshole-gaping-open part, not the poop-falling-out part.) Did I say funny, GAPESQ? I meant predictable. Because a big part of the collective human subconscious is always at work eroticizing our fears, and the gaping-open, just-been-fucked, completely “wrecked” asshole many people feared inevitably became something some people found hot. And as anal went mainstream over the last two decades, people realized that the anal sphincter is a muscle and the secret to successful anal intercourse is learning to relax that muscle. Situationally, not permanently. You could relax, get loose, gape after, post the video to a porn tube and then tighten back up. Now, not everyone thinks a wide-open, gaping asshole is desirable. And not everyone, in the immortal words of Valerie Cherish, needs (or wants) to see that. Honest question: If you, being a homosexual, don’t die from HIV, will you have to wear a diaper before the age of 42? Optional question: What does a prolapsed rectum look like? I bet you can describe it without doing an image search. Sickening Homosexuals Are Malignant Errors Honest answers: I know you meant this to be hate mail, SHAME, but I’m just thrilled someone out there thinks I’m not 42 yet. Also, I’m HIV-negative – last time I checked – but even if I were to seroconvert (go from HIV-negative to HIV-positive), a person with HIV who has access to meds can expect to live as long as a person without HIV. Also, a person with HIV who is on meds and has a zero viral load (no trace of the virus can be

detected in their blood) cannot infect another person. So even if I were to contract HIV after all these years, SHAME, I would likely live long enough to die of something else, and, once I got on meds, I couldn’t pass HIV on to anyone else. And quickly: I’m way past 42 and not in a diaper yet, thank you very much. And while some people think a prolapsed rectum looks like a rosebud, I happen to think a prolapsed rectum looks like a ball of lean hamburger. And the first one I ever saw – and, no, I didn’t need to do an image search because it makes a real impression – was in straight porn, not gay porn. P.S. If you can’t think about gay men without thinking about our poops and the diapers you hope we’re wearing and our meaty prolapsed rectums, SHAME, that says a lot more about you than it does about gay people. My significant other wants me to delete any NSFW pictures of my exes, but I don’t feel comfortable with that. I don’t have an emotional attachment to my exes or really look at these photos anymore, but I feel that old pictures saved on old computers aren’t doing any harm and deleting them won’t fix my partner’s insecurity. Personal Images Causing Strife Accommodating a partner’s irrational insecurity is sometimes the price we pay to make an otherwise healthy and functional relationship work, PICS, as I recently told another reader. But one possible accommodation is telling your insecure partner what they want to hear, even if it isn’t true. Telling a partner who is concerned about safety that you’re using condoms with others when you’re not isn’t OK, of course, just as telling a potential partner you’re single when you’re not isn’t OK. But telling a partner that you deleted photos you never look at on a password-protected computer they can’t look at … yeah, that’s a lie you don’t have to feel too awful about telling. How long after using an oil-based lubricant do I have to wait before I can safely use latex condoms? Not right after, presumably. Next day? Next week? Next century? I’ve been experimenting with oil-based CBD lube for hand/toy stuff, but I’m worried about the timing relative to penetrative sex. Oily Inside “Oil and latex condoms do NOT mix, period,” says Melissa White, CEO of Lucky Bloke, an online condom shop, and a condom expert. “Using an oil-based lubricant with a condom can cause the condom to leak and/or break. And unlike water-based lubes,

“QUICKIES”

oils do not evaporate readily. While oil is absorbed over time, that absorption rate likely varies based on many factors, including age. Oiling up internally? Now we’re talking vaginal versus anal absorption rates! The bottom line: We have not found sufficient studies to issue a reliable recommendation on what an overall safe time frame might be. So here’s the deal: Oil or condoms – choose one.” I would add only this: Condoms made out of polyurethane are more expensive, but you can safely use them with oil-based lube. I’m a straight guy who loves the female body – the look, touch and smell. I’m in my mid-30s, I’ve never had a serious relationship and I don’t know if I’m capable of falling in love. I’m exclusively into trans women, and I’ve kept it a secret because it’s nobody’s business. If I were in love, I’d make it public, but that hasn’t happened. I can’t help but feel like this is an addiction, and I’m ashamed of it. I’m sure I’m not the first straight guy who’s into trans women who’s written to you. Where do I go from here? Straight And Struggling While dating someone in secret isn’t impossible, SAS, it rarely leads to long-term love. Being kept hidden because you’re trans (or you’re gay or you’re big) and the person you’re dating hasn’t gotten over their shame about being attracted to trans people (or members of their own sex or bigger people) … well, it sucks to be someone’s dirty secret. And a healthy trans (or gay or big) person – the kind of person you might be able to fall in love with – isn’t going to put up with that shit. So it’s a catch-22: So long as you keep the women you date a secret, none of them are going to stay in your life for long. They’ll be either so damaged you want them out of your life or not damaged enough to want you in theirs. On the podcast, the truth about human trafficking: savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net

Meet Maggie! Maggie (A445287), a sweet 4-year-old girl, was brought to our shelter as a stray on New Year’s Eve and has quickly warmed the hearts of the shelter staff. Maggie is a social butterfly – she seeks out affection! She enjoys taking treats and playing with her toys in our play yards. Maggie has tested positive for heartworm disease, but good news for this lucky girl and her future adopter: Much of the cost of her heartworm disease will be covered! For the month of January we are celebrating our “New You, New Pet” adoption promotion. Adoption fees for cats and dogs will be $20. The fees include sterilization, vaccinations and a microchip.
