except Melissa Etheridge (WFC, Aug. 27)— and her power was legendary. “Cuchi cuchi,� said Charo, and Wilson suddenly felt woozy. Charo placed some Carolina Chocolate Drops (Mystic, June 26) in Wilson’s mouth, and she went limp, falling to the floor. “Let me get my sister, Carol (Far West Fest, July 17),� said Charo. “She knows how to handle the tired, the worn-down, the Merle Haggard (Uptown, June 12).� Carol came and lifted Wilson’s body, placing an ancient Desert Rose Band (Mystic, May 29) around her right index finger. Carol gathered together a dried Bone, some Thugs and sang Harmony (Phoenix, June 5) into Wilson’s ear. “My dear Carol!� Wilson cried, and then, because she was out of breath, repeated it in acronym form: “MDC! MDC! MDC (Phoenix, June 12)!� But Carol was no singer, and her Monophonics (Far West Fest, July 17) grated on Charo’s ears. “Enough!� the mystic commanded. “We go now into my Tower of Power (Marin-Sonoma Fair, June 23) for an exorcism with Ravi Coltrane, Charlie Haden and Geri Allen (Healdsburg Jazz Festival, June 12). You, Wilson, up the stairs. Now.� But the trio was nowhere to be found. Instead a Frenchman, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and an Italian, Carlo Ponti Jr. (Festival del Sole, July 20 and 25), stood guard. Smokey lied to them and said his name was Friedman, and ensured that he could fulfill their desires in exchange for passage into the tower—even a little hed (pe) (Phoenix, Aug.3), he promised, if that’s what they were into. “Don’t get kinky, Friedman (Studio E, Aug. 5),� said Carlo. By now, Wilson had forgotten all about Jack—a good thing, since he had left the cruise to shack up with yet another funloving girl, Cyndi Lauper (Uptown, Aug. 18). Cyndi was a John Legend (WFC, July 31) in her own mind, a diabolical temptress who didn’t mind being called Blondie (WFC, Aug. 5) if it meant getting ahead. Jack and Cyndi were lounging on the back patio of a New Mexican taqueria, drinking two beers each, turning the bottles bottoms-up and tipsily flinging the Four Tops (Marin County Fair, July 5) at each other, when the telegram came over the George Cables (HJF, June 9). “Call my attorneys, Jason Moran and Bill Frisell (HJF, June 13),� it read. “Been kidnapped by disco flamenco hoochie and Motown legend. Come quick.� Jack bolted. Cyndi or no Cyndi, he wasn’t about to let a disco flamenco hoochie steal his woman. He thought of calling famed tough-guy-for-hire Rufus Wainwright (Uptown, Aug. 22) to come along. He thought of renting a chainsaw from Jackyl (Last Day Saloon, May 26). He thought of bringing the Old Western posse Crosby, Stills and Nash (Sonoma Jazz +, May 21) to intimidate Wilson’s kidnappers. But no. This was a job for Jack to do alone. He found the nearest phone booth, spun around in a circle, and turned into the superhero Powerman 5000 (Last Day Saloon, June 2). Will Powerman retrieve his woman? Will Wilson run off instead with Brandi Carslile (Mystic, June 24–25)? How does Del McCoury and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (Marin County Fair; July 4) fit into all of this? Stay tuned for the box-office sequel to Possibly the Most Ridiculous Thing I’ve Ever Written, starring Chuck Prophet (St. Helena Native Sons Hall, June 19), and see you at the shows this summer!
