14= 5A0=:;8= BCA8:4B 0608= Danielle McElwee’s article on the environmental impact of using our libraries (Open Mic, “Open Books,� Jan. 6) reminded me of an article I read about government-run institutions that buy materials, loan them to you for free and act as community centers. That author pointed out (tongue-in-cheek) that our public libraries are the best example of the “horrible� costs and effects of socialism that he could think of. People actually get their money’s worth and then some. This summer, we used public libraries across the Northwest, and we found them growing an indoor garden in Idaho, lending theme summer backpacks to teens in Montana and sponsoring activities throughout the long summer days in Wyoming. We even sat with other travelers outside them before they opened, and paid our bills online using their wireless internet
connection. What an incredible resource! Next to our national parks, libraries may be the best idea America ever had. Thanks, Ben Franklin.

His name is in larger type in the picture than it is in the article itself ! So much for anonymity. I’d ask that my name be withheld, but I know better now.

Dude. Seriously. We have taken many calls and more than one snarky email regarding the OxyContin image accompanying the Jan. 6 news story. Here’s the deal: Stephan R., the subject, was fine with having his name shown on his ID, because a scan of that text is not (yet) Google-able. Our original caption reflected that. An hour before presstime, our copy editor suggested that, just to do our highest diligence, we alter the image to obscure his surname entirely and that we change the caption. We did both things. However, and no one can quite figure this out, the image that went to press was the original. Stephan R. is not harmed by this and, while we feel like dolts, we do thank all who have contacted us about it. One young woman suggested that if we needed to take all the papers back off the streets (30,000 and counting) we should get moving, so that’s why she called. Given that it was such a crappy, mystery-shrouded error, it was pretty cool to get such a warm outpouring of concern. Thanks!

Healdsburg’s Cyrus files restraining order against PETA award-winning transvestite teen activist By Gabe Meline
0
teenage vegan activist involved with PETA has been served a restraining order by the owner of Cyrus Restaurant in Healdsburg due to defamation and threats over the restaurant’s serving of foie gras. The teenager, a 16-year-old male who dresses and lives as a female, appeared in court on Dec. 28 after Cyrus chef-owner Douglas Keane filed the restraining order. Key to the case is an incident on the afternoon of Dec. 18, in which the minor was shouting through a megaphone and distributing animal-rights pamphlets on public property in front of the restaurant. In a police statement, the minor alleges that she was pushed and hit with brooms by a group of Cyrus chefs, and that Keane himself
pushed her and said, “You want to trash my restaurant? This means war!� She also charges that Keane “personally attacked� her, and that “everything [she] did . . . was an act of self-defense against their attacks.� Keane denies these allegations, and says he has a witness who can verify that in fact one of his cooks was elbowed in the nose while another was punched in the arm by the minor. Furthermore, Keane, a brain cancer survivor, went to the emergency room to be treated for nausea and headaches after the minor shouted “You are a horrible person� through her megaphone directly into his ear. The minor was arrested by police and released to her parents, but returned to the restaurant later that same evening. The minor declined comment to the media. The incident capped a series of protests beginning in November, in which, according
to the lawsuit, the minor shouted to patrons that Keane “engages in bestiality and is a fat, disgusting human being� and that he serves “decaying and diseased food� at Cyrus. She sent Keane an email on Dec. 8 that read, in part, “You sick fuck! You are a disgusting fat lard of an animal abuser. All that foie gras goes to your fat thick thighs. You fucking fatass. I hope you die from some dreadful liver disease, it would avenge these animals that you help torture.� Furthermore, according to the case, she has repeatedly called Keane to say, “I know where you live, I will make your life hell,� and once allegedly threatened to set fire to a restaurant guest’s coat. Cyrus, a high-profile restaurant with two Michelin stars, offers eight- and five-course vegetarian menus, and diners are encouraged to call the chef directly %.

with any special dietary needs. Contacted at Cyrus, Keane says that he takes the issue of foie gras seriously. “I was using Sonoma Saveur’s foie gras for a while. I took a trip down there with a few managers,� he says, “and walked away 100 percent comfortable. And I’m even more comfortable with Hudson Valley [Foie Gras]—they’ve actually hired a vet on staff and an independent auditor.� Keane says when he discussed his foie gras supplier with other protesters, they agreed to leave, but the minor became fixated on him personally. “I think this is just a misguided youth with a lack of parental control,� he says. “Every other protest I’ve ever had, every other email from any sort of animal-defense group, they’ve all been very appropriate.� Meanwhile, on Dec. 30, the minor was awarded a “Star Street Teamer� award from PETA2, the animal-rights group’s youth division. At the time, PETA2 assistant director of Youth Outreach and Campaigns Dan Shannon saluted the minor for having “all the qualities of a great activist: compassion toward the most vulnerable members of society, energy, determination and know-how.� When contacted, Shannon stated he hadn’t heard about the case and expressed surprise and dismay at the minor’s actions against Cyrus. “This is not the sort of thing that we would reward somebody for or would endorse in any way,� he says. “We advocate a professional, friendly approach to the issue, even when people don’t agree with one another.� Still, Shannon would not say whether the award would be revoked, or if the minor would be contacted or reprimanded by PETA for her behavior. “Like any other organization, we don’t have any control over what our members do,� Shannon says. “It’s like if somebody from the NRA goes out and shoots somebody, what’s the NRA to do?� Shannon stresses that the award was for the minor’s work in successfully convincing Bella, a Healdsburg women’s clothing store, to stop selling fur. Last year, on the day after Thanksgiving, the minor led a loud demonstration with banners and a megaphone in front of the store; a followup call by PETA confirmed the store was no longer carrying fur. But Bella owner Cathy Boitano-Grande says she had already stopped selling fur at the time of the protest, and the items in question were faux-fur acrylic gloves. “I took the basket of gloves out, and I showed them to her mother,� Boitano-Grande says, “and I said, ‘I want you to know what your daughter’s doing. She’s standing here in the name of animal rights, and she’s a liar.’� Boitano-Grande summoned the police, but was told that the protesters were within their First Amendment rights. For his part, those are rights that Keane insists he respects. “I know it sounds weird, but I didn’t want to stop anyone’s right to expressing their opinion,� he says of the restraining order. “I just think this person— it’s a sad situation. I hope they can work through their issues.�

THE BOHEMIAN
y now, we’ve all heard conf licting reports on what was or was not accomplished in Copenhagen at the December climate summit. Know this: The U.N. convention on climate change in Copenhagen resulted in zero meaningful progress on global emissions reductions. Whoever tells you different is selling something. Read the spin, but don’t get caught in its spokes. Despite this, I left Copenhagen inspired by the arrival of new leadership. People like Beka Economopoulos and Ben Margolis of TckTckTck, Avaaz’s Ricken Patel and 350.org’s Jamie Henn. These are just a few of the faces of the movement I had the chance to meet, watch and learn from. Where once the face of our movement was the polarizing Al Gore, we now have a new crop of activists whose ideas and charisma surpass Gore’s and are free of two-party taint. In Copenhagen, many of us met in person to unite our respective organizations. When we assess COP15 in the future, the long lines, the NGO access revocation, even the world’s refusal to act will be of secondary importance next to this fusing of new leaders who will fight with the cunning and fury required of a mission as epic as maintaining the habitability of a planet. Remember MoveOn.org? It lives on, but as a part of the machinery it once railed against. More mature organizations, like the Sierra Club and the World Wildlife Fund, once served a truly radical purpose, but those days are years behind, their ranks and coffers swelled by members whose centrist positions keep these NGOs from taking all but the most measured steps. The organizations are built for protracted battles, not for the type of “win now or die� fight we have on our hands. Too, their dedication to self-preservation seems to outweigh a commitment to world-saving. This was evidenced quite clearly by the rapidity with which they fell all over themselves to plant copious kisses upon Obama’s cheeks. Online petitions are worthless—we must show elected officials we mean business. We can do this by moving the fight to where they live and not leaving until they get the message thousands of times over, hand-delivered by their neighbors, their children’s teachers and their grocery clerks. As an armchair activist, here’s what I’d do: I would make it personal. I’d prove to every U.S. politician that a burning planet is a top priority by organizing daily gatherings outside each of their homes across the
country. I’d weld the aggressive tactics of Eugene Debs and early union agitators with the enormous, activated networks built by the new leadership. Confronted by local resistance and recognizable faces, they will be moved to action. Can you picture groups of relentless activists camped out across the country? I can. I know the dedication is there. We need only provide the talking points and f lip the switch. I said “armchair activist� because I don’t work for an activist organization. The work of the Fellows at Post Carbon Institute is to provide practical, replicable solutions to the intertwined challenges created by climate change, resource scarcity and irresponsible economic policy. Our work and the work of many other NGOs provide the meat of the activists’ message. To get anywhere at all, we’ll need to work with one another much more closely. And we’ll need to learn a new language. In the States, the climate-change community really enjoys talking to itself. We’ve honed our talking points in endless online forums, through millions of pages of blog posts and op eds. When we spot one another’s words in the Huff Po, we’re both thrilled and jealous (admit it!). I propose that as we gather our forces and plot our post-COP15 strategy, we reassess what we have in common with the conservative elements of our nation. Localized food and energy production, for example, square firmly with the bedrock Republican ideal of local decision-making. An activated minority can move the ball down the field, but we’ll need a strong majority to get it up the mountain. COP15 was a terrible blow, but not an unexpected one. Let’s not readjust our expectations downward. Instead, let’s go against the grain and call for a moon shot. How about 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2020? Or funding G77 efforts with a robust Tobin Tax while introducing a steady-state economy in the United States? Or all of the above? Will any of these be easy? Or course not. But they are possible. And can you think of more rewarding endeavors to lend oneself to?

AT[Pgš7PeT B^\T 2WP\_PV]T All is not grim grains and endless squash in the locavore way
By Juliane Poirier
C
he sign outside Mustards Grill in Napa Valley proclaims, “Way Too Many Wines.� For a landmark restaurant in a county pushing 400 wineries, that’s not hard to believe. When a wine list for a Napa restaurant is compiled, it inevitably offers Napa wines. Yet just as inevitably the same wine list will include selections from wine regions in various parts of the state or the world, including France, Santa Barbara, Chile or Mendocino. So if the locavore movement is about sourcing close to home, does a “sustainable� restaurant have to stop serving imported wines? I’ve heard plenty of whining lately about the rise of locavore wine lists, grumblings tinged with fears that wine depravation will result from locally sourced vintages. Among the absurd and misguided ponderings are “What if the perfect wine to go with that dish is produced five miles outside the locavore sourcing radius?� and “What will they do in New Jersey if locavores want a glass of wine with dinner?� We are meant to shudder at the thought of those diners being forced to drink New Jersey wines. Perish the thought. Sourcing for locavore meals means finding excellent foods within a certain radius, often somewhere between 50 and 100 miles, depending on where the proprietors decide to set the boundary. This is practical in the North Bay, where chefs typically create food right from the garden (sunhats tipped to Alice Waters); none of the rock stars of local cuisine would think of opening a restaurant without a serious plot from which to harvest. Napa’s acclaimed Ubuntu restaurant serves up the organic produce they grow themselves. Sonoma County’s Zazu owners and chefs John Stewart and Duskie Estes keep their gardening gloves close to the cutting board as well. These two will also point to a slab of pork or a loaf of bread and tell you precisely where the pig used to snort and gambol before it became bacon, and which member of the Petaluma baking family shapes the
bread loaves before they are baked. This is true locavore. The Zazu team set their sourcing radius at 50 miles. They happen to be located on a rural highway of western Sonoma County, the very belly button of the garden-to-table movement. So it’s not difficult for them to gather local food and buy local wine. They buy 60 percent of their wine directly from the wineries, rather than through a distributor, which means more profit stays with the local wine producers. But do Stewart and Estes serve only Sonoma County wines? “We don’t want to be boring,� says Estes, who with partner Stewart also owns Bovolo restaurant and Black Pig Meat Company. “If we only did Sonoma County wines, every restaurant would have the same wine lists. Honestly, for all the local winemakers who go out to restaurants, it’s more interesting for them to see what’s outside. Of course they appreciate us keeping our money local and supporting them, which we do. More than 90 percent of our wine list is local. But some of the best Riesling is made in Germany. And we like to offer Champagne and other French wines. It’s always fun to have a French version so people can compare.� Fun is the operative word here, a concept often overlooked in the go-local movement. The locavore movement is not about rigidity or perfectionism. This news may help set fears to rest among those who need reminding that local sourcing by restaurants and home cooks is not government-regulated, not a prescribed nor policed behavior. Instead it’s an invitation to return to our senses, viscerally, spiritually, economically and intellectually. Local food sourcing makes for finer dining, a safer and more stable food supply, a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, a more robust local economy and an enhanced feeling of connection to our own community. It’s also, according to Estes, plain old fun. So if locavore cuisine invites me to depart now and then, just for the fun of it, from local sparkling to (yes, imported) Champagne, c’est la vie. I’ll drink to that.

60;;>?8=6 6>DA<4C Bourdain appears Jan. 13 at the Wells Fargo Center.
B]^dcb ž]ž 9^f[b Travelin’ man Anthony Bourdain dishes the good stuff By Will Coviello
8
t’s been years since Anthony Bourdain worked a long shift over a stove at Manhattan’s Les Halles brasserie, which still refers to him as its “chef-at-large.� He recently returned from three weeks in Vietnam and Manchuria, filming episodes of his Travel Channel show Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. In February, he’ll set out for Paris, Rome, Beirut, southern India and Liberia. In January, he’s on a speaking tour, including his Santa Rosa stopover Jan. 13, doing what comes effortlessly to him: spilling stories about food, cooking, travel and whatever audiences ask him about. “I’m talking shit,� he says laughing. “I stand up there and wing it. Then I get in the van like a rock band and head for the next city.� He downplays his dedicated work habits, but he’s certainly found the perfect niche as a celebrity chef since making his name as the cooking world’s bad boy, free to say whatever he pleased. “I got famous by not giving a shit,� he says. “In every subsequent project, no one has given me money thinking I’d be [Food Network chef] Bobby Flay. I don’t need to be nice or diplomatic. People have really low expectations.� His signature smug candor has been tempered
a bit by fame. As he’s become more of a celebrity, he’s not gone out of his way to dish on others in the profession. He once referred to Emeril Lagasse as a “fuzzy Ewok,� but has since befriended him and featured Lagasse’s restaurant on his show. And he has said he’s glad he’ll never have to share an elevator with Marin County’s Tyler Florence, star of former Food Network shows like How to Boil Water, who lent his talents to Applebee’s menus and ads. At heart, he’s a purist who appreciates chefs, unsung line cooks, food with integrity and the challenges of working in kitchens, but also what foodie TV has done for them. “On balance, it’s good when people talk about food. It’s been good for business,� he says. “And it means chefs in the heartland can sneak snouts and jowls—the good stuff—onto their menus.� That said, Bourdain remains discriminating. He is a fan of British chef Gordon Ramsay, but not of his show Hell’s Kitchen (“The level of competition is so obviously pathetic. People want to know if Jumbo is going to topple over before he cooks anything�). And he likes Bravo’s Top Chef, on which he appears frequently (“There are very talented chefs competing,� he says, adding, “You are judged on the merits of the food�). Unlike many critics, Bourdain earned his opinions the hard way, working his way up the
culinary ladder to Les Halles in the 1990s. “I was 44, still broke with no chance of ever having a normal life,� he says. “I never paid my rent on time. I had no health insurance. I had kicked drugs, and life had yet to reward me for that.� But hard work paid off. In 1999, he finished an insider’s look at working in professional kitchens that he hoped to publish in the New York Press, the free weekly, for a fee of roughly $100. After it was bumped from several issues, he took it back and sent it to The New Yorker, which published it as “Hell’s Kitchen.� Bourdain soon had a book deal for Kitchen Confidential. He reveled in talking about the ways kitchens actually worked, spilling the unvarnished truth about how long “fresh fish� typically spent in walk-in refrigerators, how restaurants cut corners, and the gritty and indulgent lifestyles of chefs and cooks. That world seduced Bourdain when he took his first restaurant job as a dishwasher in a seafood joint at the age of 17. “I learned everything I ever needed to as a dishwasher,� he says. “Show up on time and do the best job you can.� Anthony Bourdain appears at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 8pm. 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. $35–$49. 707.546.3600.

2D;8=0AH <8=343 ancy a bowl of hot beef stew “in the style of Triesteâ€? for just $8.50? How about a roasted Hubbard squash married with Gruyère and tucked into a aky cream cheese pastry itself topped with Point Reyes bleu cheese for the same price? Care to ďŹ nish the meal off with a satin chocolate mousse cake with persimmons and pomegranates for just $4, and that’s one ďŹ ne meal for one tiny price.
F
Of course, it’s entirely impossible—but only because the stew and the squash and satin chocolate mousse are so 2009. When the Santa Rosa Junior College’s Culinary Cafe reopens for the winter on Jan. 20, it will have a whole new seasonal menu drawn from the fresh ingredients available at the school’s Shone Farm. As part of SRJC’s excellent culinary training program, students in white coats and tall toques begin ďŹ lling the windowed kitchen of their cafe early each Wednesday–Friday morning, making specialty breads and pastries that are for sale, with local Taylor Maid coffee products, from 7:30am to 2:30pm. But lunch is the real bargain, the modestly priced entrĂŠes, starters and desserts housemade under professional direction by students who will some day soon be ďŹ lling back-of-the-house positions with some of the North Bay’s ďŹ nest restaurants. The college’s food and wine pairing lunches begin soon and are just $35, all-inclusive. Gratuities are welcomed and are pooled to use for student supplies. Reservations are a must for the food and wine Friday series, and are hugely and highly recommended for an ordinary lunch. And listen up, ye elders: those age 60 and better get 15 percent off, all day every day. Such a deal! SRJC Cafe and Bakery, corner of Seventh and B streets, downtown Santa Rosa. Open Wednesday–Friday, 7:30am to 2pm. 707.576.0279.
F8=4;0=3 C8<4 whopping 120 wineries are on board for the 18th annual Winter Wineland tasting that swathes northern Sonoma County this weekend, Jan. 16–17. Advance ticket sales have ended, but $40 for drinkers, $10 for designated drivers paid at the door of any participating winery gets you in to this two-day extravaganza aimed at bumping up the wine industry’s “slow� season. ’Cept that there ain’t nothing slow about Wineland, usually held under crisp blue skies and normally featuring tomfoolery not seen in the summertime. Wineland is hospitality crew dressed up like Olympic athletes, it’s women disrobing in tasting rooms, it’s live music and warm chili—and it’s also a great time to take advantage of case discounts. For those who don’t need to worry about a hotel room, it’s also a super way to visit tasting rooms that might ordinarily be off your radar.
A
New participants this year include Bluenose (428 Hudson St., Healdsburg), Branham Estate (132 Plaza St., Healdsburg), Freestone Vineyards (12747 El Camino Bodega, Freestone), Hart’s Desire (53 Front St., Healdsburg), Hudson Street (428 Hudson St., Healdsburg), J. Keverson (53 Front St., Healdsburg), Mercury (21015 Geyserville Ave., Geyserville), Robert Rue (1406 Wood Road, Fulton) and Souverain (26150 Asti Road, Cloverdale).

270A;4B :AD6 F8=4AH o you have any Johannesburg Riesling?â€? I asked our friendly wine pourer. “Because that is my favorite varietal.â€? On a weekend winetasting jaunt, I had taken my friends up to Krug on a whim, but I’d been waiting to ask this peculiar, somewhat dated, question here for more than a year, ever since my mother related the following story to me: One summer day about 50 years ago, a semi-retired jazz musician and salesman took his family on an afternoon joyride through the Napa Valley. Picture it: golden ďŹ elds, cattle pasture interspersed with sprawling green vineyards. And, yes, there was winetasting even back then, particularly at venerable establishments who were, like Charles Krug, still stepping out of the long shadow of Prohibition.
“D
Two men, professionally dressed, nearly middle aged—possibly brothers—poured at a simple table in a side room, explaining their varietally labeled wines with gravitas. “But do you have any Johannesburg Riesling?â€? my German-American grandfather inquired of them. “That is my favorite wine.â€? They didn’t, and maybe he was a little disappointed. I returned to give it another try. The two winemakers, of course, might well have been brothers Robert Mondavi and Peter Mondavi Sr., whose family purchased Krug in 1943. In pursuit of quality varietal wines, the Mondavis practiced modern winemaking and grape-growing techniques until their differences led to an infamous feud. Robert went on to found the empire that made him a household name; at age 95, Peter remains at Krug to this day. The tasting room is a low building across from the historic winery, founded in 1861. The basic tasting features award-winning 2008 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc ($18), with mild avors of golden pear and raisin, and a hint of muscat. The 2008 Estate RosĂŠ ($20) is dry and balanced, with pretty strawberry and green notes; the 2007 St. Helena Zinfandel ($25) is another plush, soft Napa Zin full of plum, prune and blackberry in a redwood and cedar forest, and the 2006 Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon ($27), an integrated claret with notes of eucalyptus and mint. Of course, one may also choose from reserve tastings and limited release Cabs costing up to $100 per bottle. While they again offered no Riesling, after hearing my story the staff brought out a rare ďŹ nd. A few years back, a perfectly preserved three-bottle Krug gift pack from the 1950s was discovered during a San Francisco building renovation, the bottles of Sauternes and Grey Riesling still prettily wrapped in crinkly golden plastic. Inside was a price list (Cabernet Sauvignon, $1.26) and a newsletter called “Bottles and Bins,â€? dated October 1953. Much like the rambling winery newsletters of today, it’s alternately urbane and informally chatty, with references to literature, wine competitions, a fondue recipe and musings on the differences between French and Californian wines, and also between men and “the little ladiesâ€? in matters of wine. And, there it is—listed as a gold medal winner at the Los Angeles County Fair—“Johannisberger Riesling.â€? Well, that’s it—they must have just sold out of the good stuff. Charles Krug Winery, 2800 Main St., St. Helena. Tasting daily, 10:30am to 5pm. Fees vary; complimentary for “Napa neighbors.â€? 707.967.2229.

8=C4ACF8=43 Those groovy bionic ponytails the tribespeople in ‘Avatar’ sport are a metaphor for our future.
=^ =^]bT]bT 4R^]Tc Network ecology will be a major trend of the next decade By John F. Wasik
C
here are several scenes in the spectacular new James Cameron film Avatar in which characters connect to animals and plants directly in a sort of bionic fiberoptic networking. The cinematic invention of these connections is subtle, yet illuminates a much larger point that was missed by most commentators in reviewing the major events of the passing decade. There was a universal trend at play in nearly every culture that drove the major trends of the decade: network ecology. This is the knowledge that powerful networks are playing a growing role in social, natural, economic and political systems. The coming decade will see an exponential number of new connections as old ideas and new ones marry and flourish in the 21st century. Here are a few on the rise: Traditionally Tribal Witness the insurgencies still continuing in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia
and other places where tribalism is being disrupted. This affiliation with the known and hatred of “the other� is in our genome and further enhanced through the internet. Al Qaida is a stateless network that seeks to disrupt and destroy our culture, which is underpinned by a market economy. Some networks, like those of terrorists, are predicated on pure hatred and motivated by evil. Others are more benign. Socially Minded While guided by the inner clan in all of us, Facebook friends and Twitterers are often motivated by connecting with complete strangers. It no longer matters if people are in the same community or continent. We can seek affiliations through these networks to expand the message of our humanity. We still want to be linked to groups that represent who we are and what we believe. Power of the Political How is it that a notquite-one-term senator with no other federal legislative experience gets elected president of the United States? The most devastating financial crisis since 1929 certainly helped, as did
disgust with eight years of ruinous governance. Yet President Obama is truly the first 21stcentury candidate to have fully leveraged the power of networks. Efforts to get his followers to email, Facebook, text and call during the campaign (and beyond) was organized on a massive scale. His opponents have subsequently used these same techniques to divert and dilute useful social legislation. Lobbies are even more powerful because they have the money and troops to build effective networks. We need global financial reform now. Transparent Economics Do we really know if the financial system is safe from another collapse? No, because we don’t know who’s connected to all of the nodes of the derivatives buyers and sellers in this $60 trillion unregulated market. This system of networks is still the most potent threat to civilization as we know it as we lunge into the second decade of the 21st century. Banks need to be separated from the buying and selling of securities (bring back the Glass-Steagall Act). All derivatives need to be regulated and placed on exchanges. We need effective “systemic� '% THE BOHEMIAN

watchdogs over the banking, bond, mortgage securities and insurance industries. These items are non-negotiable. Since every exchange and market on every continent is now linked, the next market debacle will not be like the Titanic; it will be like supertankers running aground and shutting down every major port and financial center. Energy Rework After financial network failures, this is the most dysfunctional part of our modern life. Our energy network currently runs on fossil fuels that harm our health and hurt the planet. Oil is transported from unstable, hostile places to countries that use it as if it had no consequences. The cheapest fuel-commodity on the planet, coal, is among the most toxic, pouring mercury and carbon dioxide into our air and water every single minute of every single day. One of the oldest nodes in this network, the Fisk coal-generation plan in Chicago, has been running since 1903 and is one of the biggest sources of mercury in the Midwest. We need to tax and phase out dirty power and re-align our power network with clean energy (geothermal, solar, biomass, wind). To do this will take trillions to rebuild the electrical grid and infrastructure to channel green energy to major cities or solar power from outer space. It can be done with a carbon or consumption taxes and political and economic incentives to do it over time. Doing so as a long-term national project, it will also create millions of jobs. Home Sweeter Home Homes should be cyber-networked into the power grid to tell us where we can obtain the cheapest, greenest power and tap into it without having to flip a switch. We should have customized information regularly uploaded to us that will help us live better lives through nutrition, social action and community involvement. Being connected to the internet is not enough. How do we transform our homes into comprehensive network information tools (as they’re no longer investments)? How do we take the next step and transform network ecology into a positive social and personal ecology? Jobs Jobs Jobs We started out the decade at roughly 4 percent unemployment. In many inner cities, it’s 20 percent to 30 percent; 10 percent is a woefully understated average now. President Obama has the right idea in his “Green Deal� to bring jobs to every depressed area through the use of green technology. This is the best social ecology project we can imagine. Employ people to create useful and productive livelihoods that help the environment and their communities. Let’s fund a massive jobs program. The free market won’t do this on its own. Market economics isn’t an ideology or a religion. It’s a description of chaos. Cyber Clutter While the last decade was clearly dominated by Google and Facebook, we still don’t have a handle on sorting out truly useful information from noise. There’s too much of it. What’s meaningful and what’s rubbish? We need efficient tools that will give us relevant local news, health information, decent money-management
advice and a host of other nuggets that are tailored to how we live and how we want to live. Look at the bestsellers of the past decade: the Harry Potter books, Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point, the Twilight vampire series. These books would not have been possible without effective social networks. Teens and pre-teens are still interested in the semi-mortality of vampire networks (a sneaky metaphor for adolescence), a concept that goes back perhaps thousands of years. We still love wizard stories because we have a need for miracles and magic, even with all of this technology, and want to succeed in the cutthroat global/corporate world.
Market economics isn’t an ideology or a religion. It’s a description of chaos. Traditional ways of making things like autos, newspapers and books are being thrown out the door. We want our stories— and vocations—delivered with pertinence and a savvy understanding of what we truly need. Look for the completely customized news-mail-site. Look for the novel that’s written based on our life stories. Look for the diet book—and medication—that’s designed specifically for your health history and genome. Earth First I know this will be heresy to many, but in a larger sense it doesn’t matter if global warming is caused by humanity. We are still dumping tons of poisons into our air, water and soil that have nothing to do with carbon dioxide production. Making electricity by burning fossil fuels creates acid rain and fouls waterways and poisons marine life. Mining metals dumps untold toxins into watersheds and the air. We are clearly disrupting natural systems in tens of thousands of ways. There’s only so much potable water on the planet and arable soil. If we’re looking at a population of 10 billion people in the next 30 years, we will need to make everything we do renewable and less toxic. By better understanding natural ecology, we will gain insights into cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and a host of other health maladies. We are all networked to what we eat, breath and drink. We have to stop poisoning ourselves. Without being a spoiler, the success of the natives in Avatar relies not only on their access to their planet network, but their ability to organize each other. Let’s put down our iPhones, iPods, X Boxes, smart phones and charge cards long enough to do something useful in our communities. Really productive change occurs when you leverage that network. Enter the decade of the dynamic econet, a system that changes things for the better on a large scale.

Âź4=278;030B 34 0<>A0½ Robert Williams’ cartoony, graphic style is a regular pleasure of ‘Juxtapoz.’
0ac U^a cWT <PbbTb How ‘Juxtapoz’ magazine made stars of everyone By Greg Beato
<
Âş
y rule of thumb is, when your work ends up on a refrigerator magnet, you’re over,â€? wrote artist Robert Williams in the Winter 1998 issue of Juxtapoz, the magazine he had cofounded four years earlier. Artists say this kind of thing all the time, of course. The idea that the purest expressions of one’s soul might be reduced to mere dĂŠcor, pleasant but innocuous images that hungry philistines barely acknowledge in their hurry to retrieve last night’s pizza, is anathema to all but those rare geniuses who know that no amount of public acclaim or financial reward can ever smudge their brilliance. That Williams should have said this, however, was more than a little ironic. For one thing, in that very issue there was a full-page ad for Zippo lighters emblazoned with “exclusive designs . . . from the best artists around,â€? including Robert Williams. In addition, Williams had in part founded Juxtapoz as an alternative to the insular, impenetrable pedantry that characterized the New York– centric art establishment which favored
conceptual canvas-splashers over artists like Williams, who could actually draw, say, a sexy stripper relaxing on a pair of giant enchiladas. The paintings Juxtapoz champions are representational, narrative-driven and steeped in pop-culture imagery that makes them immediately visually appealing and accessible to the average viewer. They evoke movie posters, tattoos, comic books and pulp novels, and while they contain plenty of surrealist ambiguity, they don’t require an aesthetic translator from ArtForum to decode. Fine art, Juxtapoz insists, can speak to more than just curators, collectors, gallery owners and critics. It can speak to a much wider audience, and not just from the tastefully generic walls of the nation’s most corporate-sponsored museums. A Zippo lighter, a skateboard, a pair of sneakers— they are all potential canvases. Not too surprisingly, this populist approach has been quite successful. This year, as Juxtapoz approaches its 16th anniversary, it boasts the highest circulation of any U.S. art magazine, beating out more established counterparts like Art News, Art in America and ArtForum for that distinction. The style of art it emphasizes—most commonly short-handed
as pop surrealism or lowbrow—has spawned an ever-widening network of galleries and publications, and even some fairly tony museum exhibitions. Its most coveted practitioners command as much as $800,000 for original works. Which isn’t exactly Warhol territory—yet—but also isn’t bad for a genre that has consistently positioned itself as the domain of outlaws and outsiders. Indeed, while Juxtapoz seems most inclined to invoke the underground cachet and streetlevel credibility of the artists it showcases, its most impressive feature is its commercial savvy. In addition to Williams, its founders include Thrasher publisher Fausto Vitello, eternally prescient cultural seismologist Craig Stecyk, and L.A. art collector and entrepreneur Greg Escalante. As Juxtapoz’s official curator, Escalante chooses which artists the magazine will cover; as cofounder of Copra/Nason Fine Art, a publisher of lithographs and silk-screen prints by Robert Williams, Ed “Big Daddy� Roth, Coop, Shag and many other Juxtapoz favorites, he offers the magazine’s readers an inexpensive way to purchase works from the artists it has featured.

fine artists are only interested in money when the numbers are astronomical: if you can sell a painting or, even better, a roomful of 2-by-4s, to a museum or collector for at least seven figures, that is proof of your talent and unimpeachable artistic integrity. If you peddle calendars and greeting cards a little too enthusiastically, however, that’s a little gauche. You don’t have to spend too much time at a MOMA to see that the gift shop is the vibrant heart of most museums, the place where patrons truly come alive and engage with art, or at least artlike things. People like stuff they can touch without fear of censure from a docent, stuff they can own without going so deep into debt they end up living like starving artists themselves. Juxtapoz takes these simple facts to heart, and so do many of the artists it features. Because the sort of figurative, representational art they produce has so little currency in the fine-arts world, many of these artists pay their bills doing work-for-hire gigs that acclimate them to the idea of merchandizing their talents in less rarefied ways than high-end sales of one-offs. Frank Kozik has produced concert posters, Mark Ryden worked as an illustrator, and Robert Williams was part of the Zap Comix collective and served as the art director for Ed “Big Daddy� Roth. Roth, who first came to prominence in the early 1960s by producing wildly imaginative originals in America’s favorite medium of expression, the automobile, eventually added graphic Tshirts, motorcycle helmets, car-enthusiast magazines, stickers, patches, skateboards and Revell plastic model kits, among other wares, to his Rat Fink oeuvre. Using Roth’s efforts as a roadmap, Juxtapoz made sure to offer its readers an array of low-cost purchasing opportunities through a section of the magazine dubbed the Juxtapoz Product Shop: posters, calendars, jackets, watches and baseball hats, all decorated with designs from artists featured in the magazine, and all under $20. (The prices have gone up a bit over the years, but are still quite reasonable.) Individual artists began doing the same, and eventually Juxtapoz added a department, Showroom, to showcase merchandise that seemed better suited to Target than, say, the Mary Boone Gallery: beer coasters, jewelry, glassware, skateboard decks, shoes, stationery sets, lunchboxes, etc. In its May/June 2004 issue, Juxtapoz introduced a new section, Toybox, to showcase “limited edition artist toys,� aka plastic action figures. In the late 1990s, these toys had begun catching on in the skateboarding and hip-hop subcultures, and by the early 2000s, young collectors were lining up at retail emporiums like Kidrobot to purchase the latest “urban vinyl� releases from their favorite graffiti artists, musicians and illustrators. In an interview with Frank Kozik that
appeared in that May/June 2004 issue, Juxtapoz contributor Rick Page discussed how the growing market for artist toys in the United States might someday reach the size of the huge Asian market for such items. “It’s getting there,� Kozik predicted. “All it’s going to take is a publication latching on to it.�
People like stuff they can touch without fear of censure from a docent. Needless to say, Juxtapoz has latched on. In many ways, designer toys are the ultimate embodiment of the magazine’s ethos. They’re fun, tactile, easily accessible works of three-dimensional figurative craftsmanship, the polar opposite of white canvases painted white and other high-water marks of minimalism and conceptual art. They’re affordable to more than just the most well-heeled collectors, and yet their limited-edition nature keeps them exclusive, underground and beyond the grasp of the mainstream. They’re extremely commercial, with a built-in speculative component that essentially positions them as Beanie Babies for hipsters, and yet their creators often derive cachet from their anticommercial status as creators of graffiti and other forms of street art that are emphatically not for sale. In the wake of Juxtapoz’s embrace of designer toys, its circulation has continued to increase. In 2006, it went monthly. Today, as magazines of all stripes go under due to slumping ad sales and declining circulation, it appears to be doing better than ever. Its current issue weighs in at a robust 162 pages, with ads from lifestyle marketers like Nike, Vans and Scion in addition to dozens of pages of art-related ads. In 2008, the Laguna Art Museum staged an exhibit, “In the Land of Retinal Delights: The Juxtapoz Factor,� a major show featuring works from 150 artists whose works have appeared in the magazine. By embracing Juxtapoz’s populist mandate and creating their own low-cost merchandise, Mark Ryden, Frank Kozik, Tim Biskup, Coop, Shag and many other Juxtapoz stalwarts have all created more demand for the original paintings and achieved a level of career autonomy few artists enjoy. Perhaps one day some pop surrealist virtuoso might even paint some homage to the virtues of commerce and slap it on a refrigerator magnet. In the meantime, we’ll have to do with Frank Kozik’s limitededition decorative Ultraviolent Big Army Guy with interchangeable hands, always ready to “bitchslap the enemy.�

‘Lost Highway’ gets to heart of Hank Williams By David Templeton
7
ank Williams was a prolific songwriter who accomplished more in his short 29 years of existence than most artists do in 70 years or more. His lyrics were concise, clever and crammed with deeply felt poetry. From “Jambalaya� to “Your Cheatin’ Heart,� from “Lost Highway� to “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,� Hank Williams produced some of the best songs ever written. Still, none of that excuses him for drinking and drugging himself into oblivion before the age of 30, throwing away his life and his talent as hungrily as he once took the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. In Hank Williams: Lost Highway, which just began a three-week run at Santa Rosa’s Sixth Street Playhouse, there is an underlying sense of anger and disappointment that seems perfectly suited to the story of the self-described hillbilly singer from Alabama who rose to fame and fortune but didn’t know how to stop his pain. Written by Randal Myler and Mark Harelik and directed by Elizabeth Craven, Hank Williams: Lost Highway is at times maddeningly vague, giving plenty of details but little explanation, as Williams moves
from a fledgling radio singer to full-fledged superstar to unemployable alcoholic. The script does little to clarify the reasons for such self-destructive behavior. Oddly, the play entirely ignores Williams’ childhood bout with spina bifida, which resulted in excruciating lifelong pain and was very likely the reason for the singer’s aggressive self-medication. As a result of this omission, Williams’ death, the announcement of which begins the show, seems less a tragedy than a stupid mistake—and perhaps that is, in the end, the point of the show. In accusing the tormented genius of destroying himself for no good reason, it rescues Williams from those who have since turned his pointless death into a sign of outlaw rebellion. None of these musings are to say that Hank Williams: Lost Highway is not hugely entertaining. The show steams along at a furious pace, carried on a wave of great dialogue (“She could melt wax off a Dixie cup at 50 feet�; “If that don’t beat the cat backwards�) and fueled by the power of Williams’ tunes, performed by a band of musicians who also step in as the various real-life members of Williams’ band, the Drifting Cowboys. On a beautifully detailed triptych set by David Lear, the musical numbers are performed on a raised bandstand, flanked on one side by the splintery, knockabout shack of Williams’ childhood mentor Tee Tot (Arnold House) and, on the other, by the shiny-tiled truck stop cafe from which a world-weary waitress (Kendall Carroll) makes the occasional wry remark about Williams’ various scandals and successes. As Mama Lillie, Williams’ devoted and steel-minded mother, Mollie Boice is sensational, alternately hilarious and scary, never more so than, while packing up her dead son’s belongings at the start of the show, she proudly states, “This shirt cost more than my front porch!� John Craven, as Williams’ manager Fred “Pap� Rose, is the calm, wise heart of the story, providing the power and strength that, for a while, allows the troubled performer to do his best work. Also good is Shannon Rider Urquhart as Miss Audrey, Williams’ sexy and ambitious first wife (the play never mentions Williams’ second wife, Billie Jean, whom he married less than three months before his death). But the heart of the show is Tahmus Rounds, who embodies Williams’ singing voice and country-drawl mannerisms with uncanny accuracy. He’s got it all: the sound, the moves, the attitude and (with the help of Pamela Johnson’s first-rate costumes) the look. Most importantly, Rounds acutely captures Williams’ palpable inner pain. He manages to fill in the blanks left by the script, suggesting the unspoken anguish that moved the man to write such lyrics as, “Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die? / That means he’s lost the will to live / I’m so lonesome I could cry.� That same aching lonesomeness fills every moment of Hank Williams: Lost Highway, and like the music Williams left behind, will not be easy to shake off.

It’s not such a wonderful life in ‘The Lovely Bones’ By Richard von Busack
5
ilm adaptations of celebrated novels are a sort of X-ray; any manipulation or self-importance in the text is soon laid bare. The success of the book The Lovely Bones is easy to understand. What adolescent hasn’t thought “If I were dead, they’d be sorry�? And the appalling way the 14-year-heroine, Susie Salmon, dies sticks with the reader: the worst thing in the world. The italics are by author Alice Sebold, who experienced this worst thing, as she noted in her memoir Lucky. Peter Jackson’s film of The Lovely Bones is set in Pennsylvania in the early 1970s. Susie (Saoirse Ronan), a girl who has never even been kissed, is dealing with high school life. One winter day, on her way home through a stubbly cornfield, she is lured into an underground lair and raped and murdered by a neighbor. From the antechamber to heaven, Susie watches what happens to her family in the years that come. She’s serene if lonely; the way station to heaven is her own invention, a paradise with all the pet dogs and candy and peppermint ice cream she wants. What keeps Susie from moving on, it seems, is her murderer. He has killed before and may kill again. (This element of vigilantism keeps The Lovely Bones from looking too much like the cover of a Jehovah’s Witness pamphlet about heaven.) Jackson’s approach to the scene of violence is symbolic. The murder is suggested through focus on inanimate objects: a straight razor, the broken rung of a ladder. Jackson’s gift is taking a “What would Hitchcock do?� approach to the material. (He even gives himself a Hitch-style cameo.) The most satisfying moments come in the too orderly lair of the maniac and in the close-ups of the souvenir he took: a silver house from Susie’s charm bracelet, a symbol of the home that he destroyed. Jackson can get intense in the classic stuff: the minute clicking of a loose floorboard that lets the killer know there’s an intruder in his home, though it’s easier to respond to the thriller than it is to the spun-sugar heaven.

As in most movies aimed at young adults, the adults are freakishly dressed weirdoes. Stanley Tucci, following up the most endearing acting of his career, as Julia Child’s dapper husband in Julie & Julia, is lamentably miscast as the murderer: equipped with bug-eyed blue contact lenses and a limp, combed-over Peter Stormare hairdo. Mark Wahlberg, as the father, has essentially the same hair he had in Boogie Nights—but this time, the hair has creative differences with the way Wahlberg wants to play his scenes. Mom Rachel Weisz goes on some weird hejira to Sonoma County to pick apples; the orchard has the same animated pollen as Susie’s heaven. Standing in the gap, for welcome if broad moments of comedy relief, is grandma Susan Sarandon, hitting the cigs and guzzling the cooking sherry. You’ll have noticed that really metaphysical fantasies give all the harsh logical lines to the drunks, whose job is to throw the cynics in the theater a bone. This happens when Sarandon’s Lynn tells Susie’s brother, Buckley (Christian Thomas Ashdale), that his sister is in heaven. And when Buckley contradicts her, Grandma snaps, “She’s dead, OK?� In this instant, the X-ray quality I described earlier shines through the movie: the grieving and haunting looks petulant instead of eternally sad. Ronan makes an effectively macabre staring angel, but she’s not quite the mousy nerdish girl turned into a master of a universe. One can’t feel what it was that made this book seem unreadably sad. There’s no good way to patch the illogicalities. Take the iron safe that holds the bones of the title: decomposition gasses have no place in a fantasy, but most of the audience are inveterate watchers of autopsy shows on TV, so it’ll stick in their craws. The January release is telltale of the film’s off-putting nature. Strange that The Lovely Bones didn’t get wide release by Christmas, since it’s essentially It’s a Wonderful Life—with child murder in it. ‘The Lovely Bones’ opens at the Rialto Cinema Lakeside on Friday, Jan. 15. 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.525.4840.

Perla Harbor As a backup singer for Leonard Cohen, Perla Batalla learned early on the business of touring and performing, and indeed, she can be seen in the great Leonard Cohen tribute film I’m Your Man, singing a blood-tingling version of “Bird on the Wire.� Yet when Cohen encouraged her to go solo, she turned ever further into her past for inspiration: her parents’ L.A. record store, which sold Spanish and Latin music, and where Batalla absorbed the songs that help make up her great album Discoteca Battala, named after the store. Having secured a place at the Kennedy Center and the Sydney Opera House with her bicultural output, Batalla returned again to the songs of Cohen; for the release party of her Cohen tribute Bird on the Wire, no less than Michael McDonald, Jackson Browne and Bill Frisell showed up to join her onstage. Witness pure emotion when Batalla sings on Friday, Jan. 15, at the Napa Valley Opera House. 1030 Main St., Napa. 8pm. $21. 707.226.7372.

Under the Redwoods The Rio Nido Roadhouse just ain’t what it used to be—and that’s a good thing. Its reputation nearly ruined in the late ’80s and ’90s due to hotheaded bikers and rampant meth, the place has since been fixed up to its proper glory as a no-frills joint offering good times and live music for the whole family. Covered with a large plastic tent in the wintertime, the music patio and grassy area has earned the endearing term “the ICU� from members of the Thugz, who continue their Thursday-night residency at the Roadhouse after last month’s sudden closure by county building inspectors of the band’s former haunt, the Pink Elephant in Monte Rio. Music nights at the Roadhouse are all-ages, there are outdoor heaters, the music stops at 10pm, and the kitchen churns out a full menu of pub grub and pizza. The Thugz return on Thursday, Jan 14; the Linda Ferro Band play Saturday, Jan. 16. It’s all at the Rio Nido Roadhouse, 14540 Canyon Two, Rio Nido. 6pm. Free. 707.869.0821.

Rabbit Rabbit “I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.� With those lines, Elwood P. Dowd secures a place in the hearts of moviegoers with the great 1950 film ‘Harvey.’ Played by Jimmy Stewart, Dowd is a
masterpiece of simple-mindedness cloaking a fresh intelligence, and those who see beyond his harmless delusion that a six-foot-tall rabbit follows him at all times discover life lessons based on utterly obvious observation. The Spreckels Center in Rohnert Park continues its welcome classic film series with a screening of Harvey in its 500-seat theater this Sunday, replacing, in a way, the loss told in these pages of the Pacific Alliance Stage Company’s ongoing plays. City budget cuts are film lovers’ gain, however, as the rest of the Sunday series in January finds the theater’s 25-foot screen taken up by the likes of The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby. See Harvey this Sunday, Jan. 17, at the Spreckels Center, 5409 Snyder Lane, Rohnert Park. 3pm. $6. 707.588.3434.

Bagel Biz Noah Alper knows a thing or two about business. After all, he sold the small little Berkeley bagel company that he founded, Noah’s Bagels, for $100 million. His story is told in Business Mensch: Timeless Wisdom for Today’s Entrepreneur. Detailing in frank honesty his humble beginnings, his mental breakdown in college, his determination to come back stronger, Alpert writes a series of chapters each with different guiding rules for business. Locals who miss the “old� Noah’s Bagels will find out why the offerings at Noah’s changed after Alper sold the business (i.e., no longer Kosher), and those looking to start their own business will find plenty of real-life advice. Alper appears to discuss the book on Thursday, Jan. 14, at the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center, 200 N. San Pedro Road, San Rafael. 7pm. $12–$16. 415.444.8000.

Vampire Weekend show us again why it’s a sin to squander your riches s much as I’ve loved hip-hop, the mainstreaming of urban culture has always disturbed me in its glorification of poverty and the hardening it engenders, intentional or not. Over the decades, inner-city cries for help have grown silent, morphed into stylistic posturing and the addition of “rapperâ€? to the too-short list of “ways out of the ghettoâ€?. Thank God for Vampire Weekend. With their 2008 debut (and song titles like “Oxford Commaâ€?), the quartet of ex–Columbia students enjoyably conveyed the strengths of being wealthy, educated and cultured. They’re not Updike or anything, but their unique blend of jangle pop, string arrangements and African polyrhythms, coupled with singer Ezra Koenig’s vibrant tales of Ivy League life, portray the singular joys of a privileged, sophisticated upbringing. Their honesty is not only gutsy but also, let’s admit it, refreshing in the “indieâ€? world, and theirs remains the greatest American debut album since the Strokes or Kanye West. Released this week, Contra is a worthy followup, although not as immediately catchy. What’s clear from opener “Horchataâ€? is a denser palette and more in-your-face production. In place of the familiar taut arrangement is a tropical xylophone along with a soukous beat and chorus, while Koenig’s voice booms and echoes through a yarn on the East Coast’s migration to warmer locales. The synthesized “White Skyâ€? continues the impressive shunning of their usual guitar slink, before picking it up for the rollicking “Holiday,â€? which sounds like a ďŹ rst-album outtake. Koenig’s pleasingly uttery vocal melodies are intact throughout Contra, but VW are eager to experiment with electro ourishes, especially on “California English.â€? Over a brisk calypso rhythm, Koenig sings in auto-tune through a rapid, acrobatic ow that covers “private schoolsâ€? and “skiing in the Alps.â€? Another highlight is the six-minute “Diplomat’s Son,â€? an epic smorgasbord of the Vampire formula and world-music styles from dancehall to West African guitar. Fittingly, the tempo-shifting masterwork samples M.I.A., an ally in the musical globalization game. Vaguely spooky closer “I Think UR a Contraâ€? sounds like Radiohead in its proglike melancholy, hinting at even more depth directly. While Contra isn’t as wholly essential as Vampire Weekend, it expresses a creative restlessness that’s the best sidestep of the sophomore slump, conďŹ rming VW as the most exciting band of the moment.

Two books on how we philosophize with music By Gabe Meline
8
really wanted to like Joshua Clover’s new book, 1989: Bob Dylan Didn’t Have This to Sing About (UC Press; $21.95). I hoped it would take an in-depth look at the musical climate of 1989 by assessing a range of pop singles and underground movements and how they refracted world events. I hoped it would, in the words of the inside flap, “boldly reimagine how we understand both pop music and its social context in a vibrant exploration of a year famously described as ‘the end of history.’� Instead, 1989 can be summed up in a few sentences. “Right Here, Right Now� is a Jesus Jones song that’s about some stuff. N.W.A. were more popular than Public Enemy. Rave were cool, Nirvana were cooler. The Berlin Wall and Tiananmen Square sometimes but not always influenced pop music. The end. Never mind that “Right Here, Right Now,� reappearing incessantly as a philosophical talisman of Clover’s book, wasn’t actually released in 1989. Many of the book’s subjects—U2’s Achtung Baby, pop singles like “Nothing Compares 2 U,� “Groove Is in the Heart� and “Freedom ’90�— are from a year or two afterward; even the cover photo of Kurt Cobain is from 1990. “The current of the mainstream is slower to divert than Alpheus and Peneus,� Clover
explains, and in referencing the Labors of Hercules, along with Joyce, Francis Fukuyama, Guy Debord and Fredric Jameson, we are made to recognize that Clover is well-read in literature and deep thinkers. I wish he wasn’t, and I wish he would write readable sentences about music and politics instead of “this congealing of historical process into a pseudoconcrete thing in turn allows antagonism as an entirety then to be subjected to ‘the absolute deconstruction.’� When Clover is making sense, his music acumen remains sound, particularly with a passage on Roxette’s “Listen to Your Heart,� which happened to be the No. 1 song in America when the Berlin Wall came down. Yet at no point in 1989 are any interviews conducted. All quotes come from preexisting sources. Reading it has the distinct feel of a guy looking up stuff on the internet and commenting at great, monotonous length. This betrayal, of a potentially wonderful project derailed by gobbledygook, exacerbates the book’s tiny motes into giant beams. In contrast to the world-shifting music and events it purports to document, it simply is, pinned under the stupefying weight of its own intellectualism. Such problems don’t plague The Jazz Ear (Times Books; $15), by New York Times jazz critic and Coltrane biographer Ben Ratliff. In 15 interviews with both giants and lesserknowns, Ratliff engages in the great tradition of sitting down with musicians in their own homes, throwing on other peoples’ music and chatting about it. Kindly, he allows the subjects of his book to do the philosophizing. Ratliff ’s request of each musician is to pick five pieces of music that inspire, and the ensuing discussion is never less than gripping. Thus, we get Sonny Rollins in his apartment listening to and effusing about the nuances of Coleman Hawkins’ “The Man I Love.� We get Joshua Redman, continuing the lineage, sitting in front of the stereo and dissecting Rollins’ famous solo from “St. Thomas.� Deep thoughts abound. “Do you think ‘the brain’ is a good title for the brain?� asks Ornette Coleman, seemingly out of the blue. Wayne Shorter ruminates as Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Symphony no. 6 plays: “It’s no great mystery about why things are the way they are,� he says. “Doubt, denial, fear, trepidation reinforce the artificial barriers to the real, the barriers that keep us from going into the real adventure of eternity.� Ratliff throughout provides background for each musician, so even those who haven’t heard of Maria Schneider will have a rundown of her noteworthy accomplishments to date. But the author encourages much more in his listening sessions, capitalizing on the power of music to open people up to thought, emotion, and memory. By the end of Schneider’s chapter, after listening to the Fifth Dimension’s “Up, Up and Away,� she tells a story of a night watchman who teaches a group of injured crows to say “go to hell.� Bebo Valdes talking about crying to Rachmaninoff ’s Piano Concerto no. 2. Roy Haynes’ onomatopoetic enthusiasm over Sarah Vaughn’s “Lover Man.� Branford Marsalis listening to Louis Armstrong sing “Up a Lazy River� and remarking on Americans’ inability to truly hear music. Such gems are scattered all throughout The Jazz Ear. Here’s to a second volume, hopefully soon.

Missed Connections AMAZON KINDLE Hello, I met you Friday June 27 at the Russian River Brewing Company on Fourth St. in Santa Rosa. She may be a computer programmer from St. Helena Hospital and watched on this day 3 movies back to back in the theater on Fourth St. in the town of Santa Rosa The Love Guru by Mike Meyers, Wall-E and another film. And she sipped a little beer and read from her Amazon kindle. I would like to get in touch with this girl and ask her to edit my book. She is a perfect candidate for my book. Hope to hear from you. Phil. 274972

Meet Alley • Kitty of the Week MEET ALLEY, one of our special rescue animals. This gentle and loving soul was badly injured when she was attacked by a dog and we had to amputate one of her legs. That hasn't slowed her down one bit and despite her tough times, she's an incredibly loving and affectionate kitty! To learn more about adopting Alley or many other homeless animals at the Sonoma Humane Society, please visit us or check us out online. The Adoption Center is open 7 days a week from 12PM - 6PM and is located at 5345 Highway 12 West, Santa Rosa (just 5 miles west of Hwy 101 @ Llano Rd) www.sonomahumane.org
Meet Smokey • Kitty of the Week
Meet Gabe • Doggie of the Week
HI, I'M SMOKEY. Geez, these “job interviews” are really tough. I can sit in a lap with the best of them, I wait patiently at the door for you to come home and give you a gentle purr and head butt in greeting. And I've just been voted Cat of the Week by the shelter volunteers. Come find out why! To learn more about adopting Smokey or many other homeless animals at the Sonoma Humane Society, please visit us or check us out online.
HI, I'M GABE and I'm a bit perplexed about why I was abandoned at the shelter – and why I'm still here! I think I'm really friendly (I love belly rubs and lots of toys) and am eager to learn what you want me to do! I'm a frisky young 1-year old who would love other dogs, children but probably not cats Won't someone out there come meet me and take me home? To learn more about adopting Gabe or many other homeless animals at the Sonoma Humane Society, please visit us or check us out online.
