Kline Squared Anyone surprised to hear that NORM KLINE plans to run against District 6 rep PIERLUIGI OLIVERIO will not be surprised to learn it’s just a rumour. Kline, the planning commissioner and former Saratoga mayor, is probably gearing up to run for something, but not PO’s seat. That would be STEVE KLINE, a recent transplant from San Francisco who has been buttonholing everyone at SJ City Council meetings and is cozy with unionistas CINDY CHAVEZ and STEVE PREMINGER. Another rumor has it that Steve K. heard Norm K. might be in the race, which made the union tool nervous that he’d have no chance in a two-Kline contest. That rumor is 100-percent true.

Reporting Crime A story sensationalized last weekend by the Merc’s SEAN WEBBY stops just short of blaming the recent violent-crime spike on SJPD Chief CHRIS MOORE’s business trips. “As San Jose’s homicide rate soared,” Webby writes, “police Chief Chris Moore was out of town on business 12 times.” He goes on to report that “some argue” an absent chief can destabilize a police force battling crime and sagging morale. Maybe so, but who exactly is arguing this (or even saying it under their breath) is unclear.

The only person quoted criticizing the chief is PATRICIA DIAZ, executive director of immigrant advocacy group SIREN, over an unrelated issue—the hiring of immigration agents. And Diaz’s criticism never comes close to Webby’s own frontpage editorializing. Moore was frequently out of town in May, “one of the city’s bloodiest months,” Webby connects, even though only one of the seven murders in May occurred when Moore was absent.

Conceding that the supersized chief always flies coach, Webby eventually explains that the main reason for Moore’s travels is that he’s heading a national effort to improve broadband emergency communications.

JIM UNLAND, an SJPD lieutenant and vice president of the police union, admits morale is down, but not because of Moore’s trips. Police are annoyed, Unland says, because 66 officers were just laid off.

Cahan, a veteran of county and state politics who sits on the San Jose Planning Commission, now says the city should abandon the key points of a recent proposal for dealing with medical marijuana collectives.

“It’s really hard to know the right number for the city,” she says, “but 10 just seemed like such a drastic reduction to meet the demands of the population.”

The proliferation of pot clubs—more

than 100 have sprung up during the past two years—has stymied city officials and nearly resulted in allout ban in April. But on July 27, the Planning Commission determined that the City Council’s plan to wipe out 90 percent of the city’s medical cannabis dispensaries was “arbitrary.”

The commission, a volunteer advisory board appointed by the council, also dismissed the idea of requiring the dispensaries to cultivate all of their pot on-site.

Cahan says she and her colleagues studied the issue exhaustively.

“We have an advantage to spend a lot of time on one thing,” she says. “The City Council has such a wide variety of things they have to master and make decisions on, and we’re able to really hone in on specific land-use issues.”

The commission has recommended that a compromise be reached, widely extending land-use regulations, upping the cap to 25 and permitting off-site growing as long as it takes place within San Jose.

Commissioner Norm Kline says that

because members of the board aren’t elected by voters, they have the ability to separate policy from politics.

“This isn’t a knock on the council, but you expect your Planning Commission to know a lot more about planning issues,” he says, “because this is what we do.”

Councilmember Sam Liccardo, whose downtown district has been a source of numerous complaints due to illegal sales taking place directly outside of collectives, admits the council has been overwhelmed. In March, Liccardo signed on to a proposal that the total number of collectives in the city be limited to 10.

“I don’t pretend to know what the right number of marijuana dispensaries is,” Liccardo said this week. “But we need to walk before we can run. And it’s apparent that all of the cuts in police and code enforcement staffing make us unable to regulate the industry we have here now.”

Paying Their Way In June, San Jose was forced to lay off 66 police officers and eliminate another 40-plus positions, and the city has trimmed its workforce by a third in the last decade due to huge cost increases and steep drops in revenue. It was in this fiscal environment that voters last

Liccardo says. “But I’m not a proponent with taking the genie and putting him back in the bottle.

“We recognize the need to move forward because the world has changed and we need to change with it.”

Cannabis club operators are appreciative of the Planning Commission’s approach, especially when it comes to allowing off-site cultivation.

Doug Chloupek of MedMar Healing Center, who provided planning commissioners with data on pot club infrastructure, is glad that on-site cultivation requirements are not part of the new recommendations.

“Besides the physical constraints it would put on the electricity and the neighborhoods,” Chloupek says, “it was a major security risk.”

Other operators believe any capped number shows that the city and commission don’t fully understanding the issue.

“Although I do disagree with what the City Council has proposed, I think they reflect the confusion in the community about the issue,” says Sean Cambern, president of CP Alliance, a patient advocacy group. “We think 10 is arbitrary and 25 is arbitrary. But if anything it gives us leverage to work with the city.”

“The number 25 was basically a compromise,” says planning commissioner Kline. “Some of us felt a higher number and some thought a lower number.” Regardless, the vote was unanimous, with one commissioner absent.

With a final council decision on the matter looming this fall, there is a potential for fallout on all sides of the community. Collectives that are not included in the cap could sue the city, as is happening in Los Angeles, where city officials tried to shut down more than 100 dispensaries in April. L.A. has spent several million dollars fighting these lawsuits.

Local businesses could also continue to be enraged if they see their storefronts continue to be cluttered with illegal sales by those who spill out of nearby collectives.

“This wasn’t an ordinance to make an industry succeed,” Kline says. “We’re here to put in place regulations so we can tax and regulate.

“We’ll find out in six to nine months if the cost of enforcement and regulation is skyrocketing and people are coming with pitchforks and fire to City Hall.”

November passed Measure U, which placed a sales tax on medical marijuana.

The early returns have been promising.

According to Scott Johnson, the city’s finance director, San Jose received $1.25 million in taxes since March, when Measure U was implemented. More than 70 collectives are contributing a monthly total of just over $300,000.

More than 30 have outright refused to pay the tax—some of them claiming that doing so would force them to violate the terms of Prop 215 and SB420.

Despite making no new hires to take on the extra workload of regulating an industry it knows little about, the city is targeting these delinquent dispensaries.

“When we catch up to them, and we will, they’ll be subject to the penalties,” Johnson says, adding that the city has already sent out 45 letters to nonpayers and late filers and collected about $70,000 in penalties.

San Jose’s original plan, based on the council’s direction in April, was to form a four-person board to regulate the dispensaries, with three of those people hired on a temporary basis through June of next year. That will change if the Planning Commission’s recommendations are approved in a Sept. 13 council meeting.

“Obviously we would have to revisit our staffing levels for permanent staffing if the number of collectives were changed,” Johnson says.

Councilmembers Pierluigi Oliverio, who pushed for a moratorium when collectives began sprouting up at an exponential rate two years ago, still favors a systematic approach to limiting collectives using land-use regulations.

He put forward a motion to that effect, along with fellow Councilmembers Donald Rocha and Ash Kalra, back in April.

They were rebuffed by a majority of their colleagues, including Mayor Chuck Reed, who has proposed ideas ranging from a lottery system to handing out permits on a first-come, first-served basis.

Oliverio believes these proposals will put the city in legal peril, while his will reward the collectives that are doing business correctly.

“My preference was, let’s get the best collectives, instead of who showed up at the The Who concert first,” Oliverio says.

Meanwhile, Councilmembers Kansen Chu and Xavier Campos have insisted that medical marijuana be declared a nuisance that has no place in San Jose.

“They’re definitely weighing in,”

11 the best of the local web

While many venture capitalists and angel investors were shaken by Monday’s wild market fluctuations, not everyone agrees with Draper’s view.

Other VCs are more optimistic about the long-term trends. Saad Khan, a partner at CMEA Capital, told VentureBeat: “I don’t think one day’s or one week’s stock market fluctuations are going to impact that. In Silicon Valley, things are pretty insulated from the rest of the U.S. in general. The ecosystem is alive and thriving. Leases have doubled for commercial real estate for places like downtown Palo Alto or Mountain View.

Tim Draper: ‘U.S. Dropped a Notch’ The biggest question on every mind in Silicon Valley relates to our collective worst nightmare: Could a macroeconomic collapse trigger another dotcom-esque bust?

For at least one VC, Draper Fisher Jurvetson partner Tim Draper, the market for U.S. startups just got noticeably chillier.

“In investing in startups globally, we at Draper Fisher Jurvetson try to view governments as competitors for our capital and for the great entrepreneurs of the world,” Draper told VentureBeat.

“Countries with the best rule of law, the best bankruptcy protection, the freest trade, the freest markets, and the best credit ratings are the countries that rule the day. The U.S. just dropped a notch.”

On a political note, Draper added, “I hope the U.S. changes structurally so that spending is limited to the amount raised in taxes the year before. With this simple change, the U.S. will again be the number-one preferred country to invest in.”

“It’s still very much boom time here.”

Still, regardless of the current climate of optimism around early stage investment, “Any company with an IPO planned for this week will probably pull it,” said Dow Jones Investment Banking deputy managing editor John Morris.

And what if the result of this wobble in the stock market is completely catastrophic?

“Certainly it’s a concern if there’s a general malaise that lasts for a long time,” said Khan. “Macro trends do have an effect on Silicon Valley. But it’s hard for me to predict [another tech bust].”

And for those looking for a second bust, Khan said, “The infrastructure of the web is completely different now, and the next generation of companies are going to be bigger and faster than ever. I think we’re just at the start of a new innovation cycle.”—JOLIE O’DELL, VENTUREBEAT.COM

Harvard scholar Jonathan Zittrain.

While written in 2008, this is an ever-more important book, for many reasons, in that it makes a central argument about what we’ve built so far, and where we might be going if we ignore the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve all enjoyed this E-ticket ride we call the Internet industry.

The book’s core argument has to do with a concept Zittrain calls “generativity”—the ability of a product or service to generate innovation, new ideas, new services, independent of centralized, authoritative control. It is, of course, very difficult to create generative technologies on a grand scale—it’s a statement of faith and shared values to do such a thing, and it really rubs governments and powerful interests the wrong way over time. Jonathan points out that truly open, generative systems are inherently subject to the tragedy of the commons—practices such as malware, bad marketing tactics, hacking, etc. These threats are growing and provide a reason to shut down generativity in the name of safety and order.

The Internet, as it turned out for the first 10 or 15 years, is one of the greatest generative technologies we’ve ever produced. But like Lawrence Lessig before him, Zittrain is very worried that the essence of what has made the Internet special is changing, in particular, as the mainstream public falls deeper in love with services like Facebook and Apple’s iPhone.—JOHN BATTELLE, BATTELLEMEDIA.COM

Logan I was in an airport today, frustrated that we must enter a police state to get on an airplane. But know where to direct that frustration. I have a sense of why it’s happened and who is to blame (Congress, to start). I’m less clear on who is responsible for this stalemate on the web.

Tom Without transaction, society cannot exist. It’s the fundamental behind all that we have come to call social.

Most of us immediately think of money when we hear the word, but its origins are in grunts and pointed fingers, in gifts and caresses. Transaction pre-dates money by eons. But our transaction landscape used to be level with minimal burdens on those transacting ...

band, for example, Walmart will serve better recommendations when you search its site.

How Your Social Data Will Power Walmart Walmart is planning to launch several new projects based on the technology it acquired from the social media startup Kosmix back in April. The core of what Kosmix was building was something called the “social genome”—a way to organize content in social networks in order to connect people with the information that matters to them.

Now, that same technology is in the hands of Walmart, the world’s largest retailer.

Anand Rajaraman, Kosmix CoFounder, is now SVP of Walmart’s Global e-Commerce division. When Kosmix was acquired, it became the nucleus of a new group at Walmart known as Walmart Labs, based here in Silicon Valley. The founders have been busy developing projects that will integrate the Kosmix technology into Walmart’s online and mobile offerings.

Kosmix’s technology will pull data from Facebook and Twitter to improve your search experience on Walmart.com. By monitoring your ever-changing interests on topics like your favorite sports team or

At Amazon, explains Rajaraman, there’s too much emphasis placed on purchases for recommendations.

Walmart plans to recommend things it actually knows you like. Kosmix’s tools can be also be used to analyze your friends’ behavior, to offer suggestions based on their interests.

Head Start Cuts Damage Our Future

Council Holds $24M Bond Hearing

from potential terrorism incidents and other hazards through a regional collaboration of local jurisdictions around the Bay Area.—Josh Koehn

TUESDAY’S City Council session, the second of the new fiscal year, featured a hearing to help determine if up to $24 million in tax-exempt bonds should be issued to finance renewable energy facilities..

A portion of the bonds, to be issued by the California Municipal Finance Authority, would go toward the acquisition, construction and improvement of facilities that include the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant.

UTS BioEnergy would be responsible for parts of the project.

The company engages in biogas production and conversion to electricity using silage, sludge, manure, food waste and green municipal wastes.

The council is also expected to grant the city manager authority to form an agreement between San Jose and San Francisco that will make the latter the acting fiscal agent of a Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative.

The initiative would be worth $1,234,000 total; San Jose’s police would receive $1,030,400, while firefighters would get $203,600.

The grant is designed to help public safety respond to and recover

Head Start is a federally funded program that lifts poor children up by teaching them the requisite skills to be successful in their school-age years. How can we cut a program where there is a waiting list of poor children hoping to receive the services?

Sen. Bernie Sanders said: “The wealthiest people in this country and the largest corporations ... are not being asked to contribute one penny in shared sacrifice toward deficit reduction. ... But it is very clear that there will be devastating cuts in education, infrastructure, Head Start and child care.”—Joseph DiSalvo

% ALEX BALOGI drives

along Interstate 680 when suddenly another car flies past him and swerves into the next lane. He points at the car and says, “Organ donor.”

“They don’t realize how much power they’re dealing with,” Balogi says. “A crash that wouldn’t dent their paint could take off my leg.”

Balogi knows about power. A hobbyist mechanic most of his life, last year this San Jose resident set a motorcycle class land speed record on his red 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, a brand known more as a touring bike than for speed.

This week, he’s heading back to Bonneville for Speed Week to see if he can beat his own record: a suicidal 125 mph. But while driving to Walnut Creek to pick up a seat for another bike on a warm Saturday afternoon, both hands stay on the wheel almost the entire trip.

“I started being an idiot at 15,” he laughs, saying he would split lanes in his native Chicago at 100 mph.

A Volkswagen shop apprenticeship there taught him how to wrench.

Later, as a Hewlett-Packard employee, he would move to Silicon Valley. He’s now retired.

Balogi wasn’t into racing until he fell in with group of car collectors who invited him to their weekly lunch. One of the collectors, Glen Dennee, asked Balogi to help install a data acquisition system on his record-smashing lakester (an open-wheeled racecar popular with speed freaks).

Balogi toiled for weeks before completing the project the day before Speed Week opened. When they arrived at Bonneville, however, they discovered the lakester’s water pump was busted—and with it, their hopes of competing. But when the crew in the next pit over heard of the problem, they handed over a water pump off their own car. The generosity struck Balogi.

“Even the people that normally avoid each other are like that,” says Balogi. From that moment, he was “hooked on Bonneville” and land speed racing.

It took Balogi three years of modifying and racing his red Moto Guzzi before finally breaking the record last year. His bike is named Porco Rosso—Italian for “red pig”—after the titular character from famed anime director Hayao Miyazaki’s film about a World War I flying ace turned bounty hunter.

To secure the record, he’s modified his riding posture, as well: Scooting all the way back, he lays as flat as possible, tucking his feet in towards the frame. He keeps his helmet down, looking at the ground for the greater part of the run.

Dangerous? Absolutely. But he keeps a dark sense of humor about it, even when talking about the futility of his protective leather suit.

“It doesn’t protect you for shit, it just keeps all your parts in one bag,” he says. “It’s good for organ donors.”—Ted Cox

The bus was a pioneer wagon headed to the pacemaker city of New York. Aboard were frontiersmen. Some were literary scions, some party-seeking funzos, some honest job seekers. This, then, was their journey.

The partially locally filmed documentary Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s Search for a Kool Place reconstructs footage of the famous jaunt. Working with historical details and recollections of the surviving passengers, directors Alison Ellwood and Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) have assembled the legendarily tangled footage of the trek of the bus named Furthur.

It was a rolling ark outfitted and christened by the man who gave LSD its nickname “acid.” He was Stanford graduate student and internationally famous author Ken Kesey, of The One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Sometimes a Great Notion fame.

San Jose’s Candace Lambrecht, the former wife of Kesey’s confederate Stephen “Zonker” Lambrecht, remained close to

Kesey through the years, connecting with him every time he came to the valley. She likes the movie, with a few reservations.

“I’m so glad that it’s finally finished,” she stresses. “In general, it’s a quite well-done editing of Kesey’s film. It’s a worthy effort.

The editing is masterful, and the collection of all those comments from Chloe Scott and George Walker and Ken Babbs—it all worked quite well. The limiting of the subject matter to the first bus trip was intelligent, with a few things added to have it make all more sense.

Ken’s life is quite vast.”

Lambrecht came from the East. In Oregon, while going to college, she encountered Kesey, and later met her husband through his friends. “I became, in a weird way, part of this tribe. It was one of those tribal things that the ’60s were so good at fostering,” she says.

Lambrecht was never on the bus in question, but she was a Merry Prankster from 1967 on and also saw Kesey’s footage numerous times.

KEN KESEY 19

August 13 - 14 10am-6pm

at SkyPark

Road Warriors Marcel Duchamp said that writing about Dada was like putting together a bomb that had gone off, and the filmmakers’ task must have been similarly daunting.

Deposited at the UCLA Film and TV Archives, the original 16 mm film was deteriorating; 100 hours of unsynchronized and unsorted audio on tape made up the soundtrack.

As much a movable convention as a bus, Furthur was staffed with a group of Kesey’s pals he dubbed “The Merry Pranksters.” As it traveled from California to New York, Furthur became the rolling meeting place between the old avant garde and the rising ’60s rebels.

“We weren’t old enough to be beatniks, and we were too old to be hippies,” Kesey says on the soundtrack.

Kesey’s mission was simple. He and his colorfully nicknamed travelers were taking the long way around America to get to the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City.

Furthur itself was an aged, gutted International Harvester. No great shakes as machinery, it ran out of gas and started fritzing immediately. Magic Trip mentions that it took 24 hours to get the 36 miles from Kesey’s place in La Honda to San Jose on the first leg of its journey.

As it rolled toward Los Angeles and beyond, Furthur had a celebrity at the wheel. Fresh out of a twoyear prison sentence for the heinous crime of possessing a marijuana cigarette was the fabled Neal Cassady.

Kesey outfitted the bus with a gas generator and some audiovisual equipment: 16 mm cameras, a tape recorder and a large sound system.

Little did he realize that his inability to sync up all of these devices would keep this material from being unveiled as a full-length motion picture in his lifetime.

=LIK?<I 8>8@E :Xe[XZ\ CXdYi\Z_k X[aljkj _\X[j\k [li`e^ B\j\pÊj (00* jn`e^ k_ifl^_ JXe Afj\ San Jose’s John Cassady, son of Neal, explains the problem: “The 16 mm cameras had their own battery sources, but the 1/4-inch tape players were powered by the bus’s generator system. Whenever father and Ken would accelerate the bus, their voices would speed up and sound like this” [amphetamined Mickey Mouse] “and when they’d slow down, it’d sound like this.” [Johnny Cash on Seconal] When I talked to him, John Cassady was on his way to Santa Cruz for his third viewing of the film. He’s been working on his own book-length memoir of his father: “I’ve got stories that’ll curl your whiskers.”

Kesey died in 2001 with this film still a work-in-progress. He sometimes despaired over the project: “Hundreds of hours and millions of feet of jiggly bus footage ...” he complained in print, during his attempts to try to weave this interstate home movie into a film.

One reads a lot of memoirs, documentaries and so on resounding with moaning about the tragedy of having ’60s hippie parents.

Cassady is different. “Are you kidding? My upbringing was the complete opposite. I had an idyllic childhood, I felt like a rock star. I relish every memory. To this day, it’s like, don’t get me started. If I’m onstage, talking about my dad, it’s ‘Katy, bar the door!’”

Cassady adds, “I’d wanted to go on that trip. I was 13, but my mother had no sense of humor and thought I should go to high school instead. Seeing this film, though, I’m thinking, ‘Mother knows best!’”

Though Cassady had seen Kesey’s uncut film over the decades, there were parts he hadn’t, such as the scene he considers the film’s funniest: his father’s expert finessing of a highway patrol officer, partially with double talk and partially by chance (a juicy sneeze on the proffered driver’s license). The lawman eventually gives up and leaves to go look for other reprobates.

The voyage is animated a la mode in the cute blunt-scissors animation style popular in Fox Searchlight romantic comedies: a cut-out bus and vintage postcards uncrumple over a map of the United States. The real thing was a one-bus circus coming to town, parti-colored and blazing with counterintuitive messages: “Weird

Load” and “A vote for Barry is a vote for fun.” The latter was a motto referring to the paleo-Republican presidential candidate of 1964.

Magic Trip shows that the journey wasn’t all fun and games. There’s an LSD freak-out in Houston occasioned by the not just electric but highvoltage orange juice in Furthur’s larder. We see a snubbing by LSD guru Timothy Leary, who didn’t want to deal with these California yodelers. The pranksters get a similar cold shoulder from Kerouac himself, at a crowded party in a New York City apartment during a record heat wave. He’s hunched over, nursing his surliness with a tallboy of Bud. Finally, the New York World’s Fair itself—what a trip. It’s “Mad Man” Don Draper’s own dream of an America always moving forward.

It was the home of Futurama, the cradle of “It’s a Small World” and “The Happy Plastic Family.”

It was, as people said of Disney’s Tomorrowland, a broken promise of things to come.

Recollections Candace Lambrecht was not on the bus, but her late former husband was.

“I called him Stephen, and I called him Zonker,” she says. “I met him at the Grateful Dead’s house. He was such good friends with [Merry Pranksters] Mike Hagen and Ken Babbs.”

She would like to set the record

Acid Indigestion It took the charisma of Kesey himself to hold this voyage together.

“I was the prettiest little boy you ever did see,” Kesey recalls in the film. He was a University of Oregon student who was accepted into Stanford’s writing program; he was also an Olympic wrestling team hopeful.

He was perhaps comparable to Henry Rollins in thickness of neck and compellingness of talk. And if he wasn’t straight-edge like Rollins, he wasn’t a big imbiber. By the time of Kesey’s fateful encounter with LSD he had only been slightly drunk once.

At Stanford as part of the prestigious graduate writing program, Kesey signed up for a government psychiatric test of a promising new purported migraine cure called LSD-25. (This cover story was, as it sounds, a lie. The CIA was conducting the now-infamous MKULTRA experiments; they hoped some sort of chemical weapon or truth serum could be derived from the drug.)

Magic Trip is at its most interesting when it could have been the most cute. Here are actual vocal tracks of Kesey’s interviews with doctors, recorded during this first acid test.

The directors and Karin Fong of the animation company Imaginary Forces are creative at coming up with visuals to suggest the timemelting qualities of psychedelics: the clocks going octopus; the colors shifting.

This sequence is contrasted with the more ridiculous official version of what happens to the user of psychedelics, familiar to all fanciers of kitschy public-service films: hippies leaping off of cliffs (“I can fly, I can fly! Aieeeeee!”), and Jack Webb’s rock-faced TV policeman Sgt. Friday sternly dealing with a day tripper.

Later, during a job at the graveyard shift at the Menlo Park Veteran’s Hospital, Kesey wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

The book is a classic, as people who have never read it know. They know it’s a classic because they have watched the 1975 movie, and they understandably enjoyed the spectacle of Jack Nicholson going bonkers.

The book is a different beast, and Kesey harbored a valid point against Milos Forman’s movie version.

Magic Trip claims Kesey never saw the movie even though he wanted to sue Berkeley-based producer Saul Zaentz. Kesey objected to the R.D. Laingian “Society is crazy; crazy men aren’t crazy” vibe of the film.

“Being crazy is painful,” Kesey noted.

Into a sinister, monochrome mental hospital, like Peter Pan into the nursery, comes a savior.

straight. “My nits are minor but substantive. I’ll mention the use of actors’ voices for the people who weren’t involved in the reconstruction, such as Gretch [“Gretchen Fetchin’, a.k.a. Paula Sundsten] and “Generally Famished” [Stanford philosophy professor Jane Burton]. These lines were plot drivers; they had to do something to move the narrative forward.

I understand some people are deceased, and some wouldn’t want to participate. That was then; this is now. But the use of the actors felt inauthentic, and only someone like myself would say that. It ever so slightly tarnishes the presentation.”

Lambrecht also hopes the historical context of the bus ride is clear. Take the footage of the Pranksters stumbling across a segregated beach at Louisiana’s Lake Pontchartrain.

According to Lambrecht, “It presents them as young people who didn’t know what was going on at the time. They realized after a while that there was a bit of a threat in the air, that they were doing the wrong thing. It comes across too flip in the movie, as if the Pranksters weren’t conscious of civil rights. If they were chased out by the black people, there was several layers of that: first that they were intruding on their space, secondly if you caused trouble down South in those days, everyone was going to get into trouble. The film makes it look as if they were naive frat boys from the West Coast who knew nothing.”

Now he’s just one more internee under the hands of Big Brother’s surrogate Big Nurse.

Randall McMurphy is an idealized version of Kesey himself, wide and friendly, a stirrer-upper using comedy and theatrical gestures to make the oppressed to think for themselves. He was in some ways a missionary, and there’s something of that mission in what happened to the footage seen in Magic Trip.

After the bus’s return, the footage gathered was projected in 36-hour uncut doses—first at Kesey’s place in La Honda and then at a friend’s house in Santa Cruz in November 1965. Later, at the home of a mysterious local African American San Jose hipster known as “Big Nig,” Kesey and the gang threw an after party for the doubleheader Rolling Stones show at the San Jose Civic on Dec. 4, 1965. Here was the first occasion at which Kesey’s friends’ rock band the Warlocks tried out their new name, the Grateful Dead.

Journalist Tom Wolfe was on hand, as he reported in his book Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test: “Cassady rapping, Paul Foster handing people weird little things out of his Eccentric Bag, old whistles, tin crickets, burnt keys, spectral plastic

handles. Everybody’s eyes turn on like light bulbs, fuses blow, blackness ... minds scream, heads explode, neighbors call the cops.”

Kesey wasn’t through with our area; he came back several times, once in 1993 with the latest model of Furthur to visit with the staff of the local alternative newspaper and to give them a little spin around the city. As Metro publisher Dan Pulcrano wrote at the time: Kesey turned left at Santa Clara Street and circled the arena, calling it “the largest Airstream trailer in the world.” On the box office side, Kesey spotted a militarylike formation of palm trees, a signature of the tightly wound redevelopment look of the 1990s and said, “Watch this.” With a flourish, he thrust his open hand out the bus window toward the columns of palms and yelled, “Stay!”

That was later. Ultimately Kesey, the LSD and the uncut film came to San Francisco, better known as a vortex for the psychedelic life.

Hundreds, then thousands, saw and transmitted the vision of a nomadic life, of redeeming absurdity in the face of societal pressure.

I don’t know what his point was but whatever it was, I think he achieved it.”

Followers of these charismatics wrapped themselves in the colors of a flag that, as Kesey said later, represented the right to burn itself.

Colonies sprung up in the cities of America. One aspect of what we remember as the 1960s had begun.

“Kesey was always on the cutting edge of everything,” Lambrecht says.

“And you get that from this film.

He reiterates how very American they were, these college people from middle-class families of the 1940s and 1950s. But he was always at the right time, the right place: just as it was for Cuckoo’s Nest, the right book at the right time. Kesey was writing real lit.”

there are counterpoints. As Mark Christensen wrote in his recent unauthorized biography Acid Christ, there’s not much leeway between Kesey’s phrase “You’re either on the bus or off the bus” and “My way or the highway.”

Maybe the most personally annoying detail caught in Magic Trip is the sequence of the trippers spilling toxic paints in a marsh so they can watch the colors float before their LSD-soaked pupils.

One can be sometimes riled by the amateur-hour style of the footage, or the tendency of the camera to make a wet-T-shirt contest out of a swimming scene. One takes into mind Jane Burton’s comment on the bus: it was “Exactly the opposite of a pleasure palace.”

As limited in scope as the voyage of Furthur was, it foaled imitators by the thousands—imagine the armadas of VW buses. Even the Partridge Family was piloting its own Mondrian-ized Furthur on TV within six years.

What was meant as a serious gesture of embracing and enlightening America became, at worse, a fashion. The gospel was spread by the glittering prose of Tom Wolfe. With some occasional reservations, Kesey liked Wolfe, in counterpoint to the old law that every public figure hates the journalist who made him famous.

Lambrecht sums up: “Everyone is going to interpret things in their own way, but there’s some of the original intent of the Pranksters in Magic Trip. That’s why I like it. It’s up to those of us who are still around to put a proper spin on it.

“It’s a good thing that this movie has come out so late. It’s a social documentary—that’s what it always should have been. It’s not the beginning or the end of any world, just an exploration—part of a continued exploration and evolution of consciousness. What resulted was a baseline paradigm shift.”

After Dio Deka, Calisi signed on at San Jose’s Fratello to redesign the

menu and add some excitement to a staid menu of Italian-American standards. But what he really wanted to do was open his own place. And now he has done so.

Last month, Calisi opened Odeum in Morgan Hill with his partner, Ashley Polston. It is a beautiful little restaurant in a green-certified, repurposed granary just off the railroad tracks near downtown.

The mid-priced place is warm and inviting and serves a blend of Italian, Greek and Spanish food that attracts a crowd of locals and visitors alike.

The dining room features sandblasted brick walls, ladderback chairs, contemporary galvanized steel touches and thick marble counters. There’s outdoor seating,

too. It feels like dining in Napa Valley—a neat trick given that it is just 20 minutes from Silicon Valley.

“Morgan Hill really needed something different, something new,” Calisi says. “Dio Deka was very good to me, and I had a great experience, but I’m doing something totally different in Morgan Hill.”

Odeum, which takes its name from a Roman and Greek meeting place for the arts, makes extensive use of its wood-fired oven and grill.

Calisi imports a private label olive oil from Greece and grows much of his own produce in the restaurant’s garden and miniorchard.

“Even if I’m doing a simple dish I’m very proud of it,” he tells me.

While his menu features the kind of top-quality ingredients you’d expect at a Michelin-starred restaurant, Calisi says he’s not aiming for stars at Odeum.

“That’s not the most important thing to me,” he says. “I don’t know that it’s possible to get a Michelin star at my place.”

are special occasion places where diners celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. They have sommeliers and phonebook-thick wine lists. Odeum aims to be a more approachable, everyday place.

“I want to be the kind of place where you come in three days a week for lunch and three times a week for dinner,” Calisi explains.

“I have to keep in mind it’s Morgan Hill, and I don’t want to scare anyone away. I want it to be available to everyone.”

While Michelin stars are highly coveted, and Calisi freely touts his on Odeum’s website, the distinction can be a burden as much as it is blessing.

“It definitely changes the expectation,” Calisi says. “You have to be really be on top of what you’re serving. You can’t get lazy. People expect quality when you have a Michelin star.”

Unlike Dio Deka, which was backed by billionaire Stratton Sclavos, Calisi and Polston are bootstrapping Odeum themselves.

“There’s no big money behind us, that’s for sure.”

Odeum has been open just over a month, so the food can be uneven as he and his kitchen staff work to get their footing. The restaurant aspires to be a casually sophisticated place where Calisi’s cooking can shine, but it’s not there yet.

But rather than pleasing restaurant critics, Calisi is out to satisfy his friends and neighbors. He lives in Morgan Hill, too.

Calisi will offer wine dinners with local winemakers. There will be displays of local artists and artist dinners. He’s even planning a “family night” on Mondays; babysitting will be available in the upstairs banquet room while parents enjoy a meal below. That’s a feature you’re not likely to find at any white tablecloth Michelinstarred restaurants.

“I’m just trying to be the best that I can be in my community,” Calisi says.

In a conversation published in Lucky Peach about mediocrity between Chang, Dufresne and Anthony Bourdain, Dufresne takes aim at a certain kind of cuisine. “It’s shit, like pea shoots tossed in olive oil with some Parmesan cheese shaved on it and then people go gaga,” he says. “That’s the shit the bothers me—that farm-to-table bullshit. …

Come on. There’s too much of it. It’s oversaturated.”

I say there’s not enough of it. The restaurant industry loves its trends (“fast casual,” “Cal-Ital,” “small plates,” “chef-driven cuisine,” and “New American” come to mind). Like any concept that has gained popular acceptance, the term “farm-to-table” attracts posers attempting to jump on the bandwagon and cash in. The August issue of Bon Appetit features an article about Manresa chef David Kinch and his exclusive relationship with Love Apple Farm. He derides chefs who grow a few carrots and say hey, look at me, I’m farm-to-table.

(Manresa is an atypical farm-to-table restaurant in that Kinch’s highly inventive cooking has little in common with the rustic, simple fare often featured farm-to-table restaurants, but with a farm all his own, Manresa is a special kind of farm-to-table restaurant.)

Farm-to-table is enjoying a popular run, but I believe it’s more than a trend. What is farm-to-table exactly? All food starts on a farm and ends up on the table right? Well, yes, but properly applied, the term denotes those restaurants that define themselves by the quality of their ingredients and often have special relationship with farms and artisanal purveyors and as such celebrate local and seasonal food and produce. The farms are part of a larger food community that supports a local food scene—farmers, ranchers, creameries, fishermen and winemakers.

And, yes, it is “ingredient-driven.” Of course, all food is ingredientdriven, but in spite of Dufresne’s mockery, the term has meaning.

It denotes food in which a chef showcases a few particularly fresh and delicious ingredients, such as a tomato and watermelon salad. This stands in contrast to food that’s either made from lackluster, restaurant-service-truck ingredients or food that’s been so manipulated it’s hard to discern what the original ingredients were.

Beyond the quality of local and seasonal food and the communities they nurture, farm-to-table restaurants like Flea St. Café, the Village Pub, Station 1, Madera and Manresa all help bridge the gap between diners and the source of their food. When it comes to eating and ingredients, ignorance is not bliss.

I don’t care what cool New York chefs say. Farm-to-table is cool.

*wed JESSE MALIN Blank Club, San Jose Wed – 9pm; $8 Jesse Malin has come a long way since his stint in the winking ’90s glam-rock revival group D Generation, giving up urban hard rock in favor of pastoral Americana since going solo. Rugged and melodic folk-rock has proven a much more successful venture for Malin. Though his recordings often bear the gloss of overproduction, there’s a rough-hewn honesty and intensity to Malin’s songwriting and performances that recalls his most obvious influence, Paul Westerberg. Though he’s matured and refined his sound, Malin is a punk rocker at heart, which comes

through in his ballsy songwriting and full-throated, passionate performances. (PMD)

MARCIA GRIFFITHS

Music in the Park Plaza de Cesar Chavez, San Jose Thu – 5:30pm; free One of the weirdest copyright fights in Internet history went down a few years ago when a choreographer named Ric Silver started sending takedown notices to YouTube users who had posted videos of themselves doing the line dance called the “Electric Slide.”

Silver claimed he had a copyright

on the dance, which led to him being sued by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Eventually, Electric Slide democracy was restored. But lost in the craziness was the fact that no one would have ever given a damn about the Electric Slide in the first place if it wasn’t for reggae queen Marcia Griffiths, who had a hit with “Electric Boogie” twice, in 1976 and 1989, that turned it into a dance craze around the world. It was the biggest hit by a female reggae singer ever, proving that Bob Marley was onto something when he chose Griffiths for his backing band. Apparently, the guy knew a thing or two about reggae.

LONG GON BON Avalon Nightclub, Santa Clara Fri – 8pm; $12-$15 There have been many great debates throughout history: God or no God? Metallica or Megadeth?

Bon Scott or Brian Johnson? For all your purists out there, Long Gon Bon pays tribute to AC/DC’s first frontman, Bon Scott. Not only does lead singer Tut take the look, sound (and endless affinity for booze) to a new level to pay homage to Scott, but Jeff’s performance as Angus Young rounds out a brilliant rendition of AC/DC during their most formative years. Let there be rock. (BD)

QUIET GAME STARTING NOW Nickel City, San Jose Fri – 6pm; $8 Hüsker Dü-ish East Bay sextet of punkers from John Muir’s former home town, now full of county bureaucrats, oil refiners, antique salesmen and loads and loads of cops. Medium range vocals contrast with Brit-style full-throat roar football chorus (I think the Brits did it before Black Flag). Definitely the band you’d want next door; titles like “Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine” address the usual anxieties in a non-offensive way. They shouldn’t worry about showing up tumescent; this band won’t require much fluffing. (RvB)

X Sports Bar, Cupertino Sat – 8pm; $8 Despite their goofy name, the “Phat N Phunky Phamily” of bands has been one of the coolest things going in the South Bay for several years now. At the center of it is on-again, off-again Shinobu, the local indie band who were doing the chunky post-punk-throwback sound before it was cool. They also lay claim to the best ‘80s-revival reference ever, with their play on New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle,” a song called simply “Regular Love Triangle.” Certainly New Order/Joy Division are a big influence, but so are the Pixies (check out “I Am A Lightning Bolt”) and the Replacements.

THE EYESORES Streetlight Records, San Jose Sat – 5pm; free The infamous Eyesores have stained the San Jose scene for over 15 years.

Often hated more than celebrated, the band has gone through numerous lineup changes, but has stuck it out regardless of what the majority of the South Bay thinks of them. If you’ve seen them once, you’ll never forget it. With extravagant props, costume changes for almost every song and a seemingly unquenchable thirst for alcohol, the Eyesores play what they call “drunk rock – music to dump beer on your head to.”The inconvenient truth is, they’re very good musicians.

Dogface’s guitar playing is the standout in the band. Also, if you can get past Metalhed’s voice–which at

times sounds like a combination of an out-of-tune Steve Perry and the screech of cats mating–you will walk out knowing you got your money’s worth. Of course, the show is free. (BD)

FROST HAMMER New Almaden Community Center, San Jose Sun – 8pm; free If Danzig wrote songs about wizards and magical dwarves instead of zombies and Satan, he might have been invited to join Frost Hammer. It fact, it kind of sounds like he did, since their lead singer has a similar soulful, crooning voice, and the riffs are moody, blues-based classic headbangers that pack a punch. Some of the best parts

are right there in-between vocals, during the lengthy instrumental jams. There’s tempo changes, intense buildups, heavy pounding chords and, of course, frantic guitar solos. (AC)

AMADEUS Retro Dome, San Jose Sun – 5pm; $15 A screening of Milos Forman’s 1982 musical drama Amadeus, starring F. Murray Abraham as stewing Salieri and Tom Hulce (whatever happened to him, anyway?) as the blithe young genius Mozart, is reason enough to go to the Retro Dome.

Adding a classical jam on the composer’s music performed under the baton of Barbara Day Turner of the San Jose Chamber Orchestra makes for a memorable evening of movies and music. After the film, Turner will answer questions from the audience. (MSG)

That’s the good news. The bad news: Dave Chappelle froze my face.

Before I explain, let me say that

to understand how this comeback works, all you really have to do is understand supply and demand. There is simply not enough Dave Chappelle to go around, in a world hungry for the comedic genius that delivered 33 episodes of Chappelle’s Show in the early 2000s. After starting as a cult phenomenon, it blew up into the coolest thing on TV, the show every college kid in America (and eventually, most everybody else) had to watch.

From the most popular recurring bits, like his satirizing of Rick James and Wayne Brady, to the meatier stuff like his crack addict character Tyrone Biggums, or the mindblowing“Reparations” sketch, there hadn’t been anything this crazy and funny since the early days of SNL. And Chappelle’s Show didn’t fade away—it burned out in the most spectacular way possible, and so did the man at the center of it. Tired and disillusioned, Chappelle walked away from it all

during production of the third season.

He split for South Africa in 2005, and after the Michael Gondry–directed Dave Chappelle’s Block Party in 2006 (which was filmed in 2004 anyway), he seemed to quickly disappear from the pop-culture landscape entirely. When he headlines the Wild Comedy Jam this week at Shoreline, it’ll be the first big show I’ve heard of him doing in years.

Meanwhile, the blogosphere has been salivating over these tiny club shows, fueling the comeback talk.

Everyone on the Internet was hearing about them, but few were actually getting in to see them. Recently, I even read one blogger writing about Chappelle’s “legendary six-hour San Francisco show,” and he sounded like he would have given anything to be there.

Here’s the thing: I was there. And it was nothing like that blogger thinks it was. It wasn’t hours and hours of Chappelle doing an act, or even of Chappelle doing jokes. It was the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen onstage in my life—and this from a man who’s seen a Genitorturers concert. And it’s where Dave Chappelle froze my face.

Keep in mind, when I say that this show was a nightmare—and it was—Chappelle is the first person

Showdown

who’d agree with me. He said onstage near the end (for the record, five and a half hours after it started, not six) that it was the second-worst show he’d ever done. God, I’m glad I wasn’t at whatever show he ranked lower. Also, nightmares are the things that stick with you the longest after you wake up. I’m certain no one who was at this show will ever forget it.

On April 29, Chappelle announced he’d be doing two shows that night at the Independent in San Francisco.

Through various machinations, I got into the late show. The early show ran a little late, Chappelle was onstage for a little over an hour, I think. Our show got going around 11, and after an opener, the man himself took the stage.

The first hour was as funny and fresh as expected. Chappelle riffed on current events like Tiger Woods and such, and occasionally came back to the topic of his show, and why he walked away from 50 million dollars. (His advice to younger comics seemed to be: Take the money, do the show).

Then things got weird. One crazy lady in the audience was shouting out random things about how his muscles looked great and he must be working out. Instead of ignoring her or taking her out with a snappy comeback, he engaged. Gradually, other audience members began to pile on with random questions on completely unfunny topics, and he answered them, too.

This was also about the time that he complemented one of the waitresses on her body, the moment that he would later pinpoint as the one where everything went wrong. I don’t know if it really was (she didn’t seem nearly as upset about it as he thought she was), but something certainly shifted in that second hour.

From then on, the man who had earlier been slinking around the stage like a cat burglar, a reminder that his comedy reflexes were lightning quick, sat in a chair almost completely motionless. He gradually let the audience lead more and more, taking excruciating silent pauses when no one had a question to ask.

Around three o’clock, things took a turn for the paranoid as he claimed there were plants in the audience, put there by some unknown sinister force (apparently Comedy Central) to catch him off guard. He kept accusing the audience of not asking deep enough

43 questions, and told us we had to “peel back the layers.”

It’s possible of course, that this was all an act, some kind of comedy-meetsperformance-art thing. But I doubt it. In fact, the most remarkable thing about those early morning hours was how Chappelle suddenly seemed to be doing an anti-act, trying to strip himself down to the bone psychologically right there on stage. He wrestled with his demons over leaving the show and losing his career. Though he did go off on some hilarious tangents every now and then, it wasn’t so much funny as it was mesmerizing.

On the other hand, it was also like getting invited over to your friend’s hotel room for a late-night “party,” only to have everyone sit there uncomfortably while he has an emotional breakdown. Everyone in that room, maybe a hundred or so of us in all, was thinking “Can I leave now?” at some point that night.

And yet, very few did. It was clear that, for better or worse, this was a once in a lifetime thing. Chappelle flat out refused to leave the stage, even though he kept getting the “cut it” signal from management. I’ve never seen a performer yawn onstage, but Chappelle did that night—twice. Around four, he put a sign-up sheet onstage for anyone who wanted to ride motorcycles down to Santa Cruz with him the next day. I was thinking something along the lines of “I’m not sure I ever want to see this guy again in my life,” so I declined.

By 4:34am, we were free at last, and I had to laugh on the way out. How could I even explain what had just happened to anyone? But Chappelle had the last laugh on me, as I woke up the next morning unable to move half my face. Diagnosis: Bell’s palsy!

Cause: extreme lack of sleep! Luckily, it went away quickly, but for a few days I definitely had an Elephant Man “don’t look at me!” thing going. Thanks, Dave.

I still think you’re the funniest guy around, but from now on, it’s always going to be the early show.

Magnificent Mizuno VARIETY is a goal of her Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music programming, claims artistic director Marin Alsop. Plenty of that was heard in the festival’s two full orchestra programs last weekend. Nine of 10 works heard Friday and Saturday nights at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium were composed since 2003, while one of the best, Shuko Mizuno’s Natsu, dates from 1988. Born in 1934, the shy Mizuno seemed a bit shocked by the orchestra’s brilliant performance and the boisterous audience response. Alsop described the work—whose title is Japanese for summer—as “harmonically dense” and its composer as the “Japanese Rouse,” referring to Christopher Rouse, one of the Americans she has long championed at Cabrillo.

Mizuno’s symphonic poem does indeed bear comparison with some of Rouse’s single-movement scores, especially where the full orchestra explodes in a tapestry of mind-boggling complexity. Yet for all its denseness, Mizuno keeps the texture transparent, no small achievement when everyone on stage is furiously engaged. Otherwise, however, Mizuno’s textures tend toward a warmly sonorous character, in :XYi`ccf contrast to Rouse’s predictable edginess. Moreover, =\jk`mXc f] Natsu provides moments of intimacy, calling on :fek\dgfiXip only a few players and cameo solos of great delicacy.

Dlj`Z

The Saturday program also delivered some refreshingly welcome news from Iran, in the form of Runs through Aug. 14 a grand, romantic piano concerto by ex-pat Behzad www.cabrillomusic.org Ranjbaran. Redolent of Khachaturian’s grand piano concerto, this 2008 work also carried its fair of local folkloric colorisms. The dramatic first movement, with powerful outbursts against soulfully fragile moments, was followed in turn by Distant Dreams, a nocturnal fantasy, then a festive finale.

Among dangers composers face is completing a work that turns out to be more personal than communicative. On Friday, Rouse’s Odna Zhizn (A Life) painted a portrait of “the love of my life,” Rouse introduced it by remarking on its “code,” which wouldn’t be understood anyway. Oops! That comment charged the audience with an expectation and/or distraction. The piece proved to be a thorny ride but overwrought and expressively arcane.

James MacMillan’s Piano Concerto no. 3, Mysteries of Light, sparkled with the Scotsman’s distinctive orchestrations and craftsmanship, though the piano part, realized by Jean-Yves Thibaudet, tended more toward the decorative than the substantial. It nicely recalled some of Olivier Messiaen’s enchanting bird songs.

The Friday program also included an “airborne” postcard by Mason Bates called Desert Transport and opened with a tasty and energetic morsel by Margaret Brouwer titled Pulse.—Scott MacClelland

The flamboyant, golden poster for the film reflects how Tamahori gilded the stink lily. On the one hand, this version doesn’t have the 99-cent-store kitschiness that was essential to the powerful spoiled brat. On the other hand, The Devil’s Double is great ripe dirty fun, served up with a heaping side order of 1980s excess.

After surviving the front in the Iraq/Iran War, the army officer Latif (Dominic Cooper) is called in for a meeting with a man he knew (and apparently disliked) from school.

It has struck Uday Hussein that all great men have doubles to foil assassins. So Latif endures a round of plastic surgery and dental prosthesis. (Uday has a gap in his teeth; when he gives his spine-

chilling grin, he looks like a leering camelid.

At first, Tamahori and Cooper make Uday seem a charming Lucifer by contrast to a slightly stiff and wary Latif. Between them is Uday’s significant concubine, sashaying through his palaces.

Sarrab (appropriately pronounced “Syrup’) is played by the infernally chemical Ludivine Sagnier. Lounging at various Iraqi discos in a spectrum of Dynel wigs, Sagnier has the kind of mouth once described by writer Angela Carter as waiting for someone, anyone, everyone to pop a piece of candy into it. Sarrab exists in such a beautifully mimicked state of heat that it looks as if she’s actually going to melt, that the already wide-set eyes are going to begin drifting shoulderward.

She was picked up somewhere by the maniac prince (not, we hope, against her will—he’s into that). Yet she becomes the moral center of the royal-double film that’s been done ever since Zenda was on the map.

Sarrab spurs the transformation of Latif. It’s a ceremony begun in bed as George H.W. Bush commences the Gulf War bombing of the capital of his former political ally.

Latif ’s quietness and wariness begin to look like watching and waiting.

And in contrast to this suaveness, it’s Uday’s braying, vicious tyrant one wants to see get it.

Get it, he does. But it’s not until further atrocities: the real-life dispatching of a friend of Saddam’s; the taunting of a victim’s father; or just watching the war on TV, with his mommy’s satin-covered breast as a pillow.

The performance takes the British actor Dominic Cooper into a new league after a long build-up in uninteresting costume dramas (such as The Duchess). Who knew? Cooper is awesomely built, too; he really fills a Speedo. You could hear a murmur of disbelief in the audience in a scene where he emerges from a pool.

The performance isn’t accentcrazed; in both roles, Cooper demonstrates an Omar Sharif–level of dapper Orientalism. And the point of the drama gives a Western audience what it wants: moments of reckless, brave Arab machismo.

The blood-skied exteriors and goldupon-gold-upon-brass interiors make us think, “This is the Baghdad we read about when we were kids.”

But the fable is grounded.

Philip Quast as the elder tyrant is a smaller-than-life worrier in an immaculate suit—a weighed-down sinner like Raymond Burr. We see him—pathetically—in white shorts and shirt, playing tennis with his own double.

If I haven’t made it clear there’s a trashy streak to the film, here goes. While modeled on De Palma’s Scarface (with oily, fringed haircut, the flagrant fellation of Gran Corona cigars, the gold-plated automatic pistols), The Devil’s Double is essentially more fun.

Tony Montana was, as he said, just a businessman. This Uday had a whole nation to devour.

As Caesar grows, he’s played by a synthespian modeled on the always-amazing Andy Serkis; this and the story’s links to the tragic story of Nim Chimpsky (as seen recently in Project Nim) “grounds the balloon” as James Bond screenwriter Richard Maibaum put it. The last third of the film, thrilling and fast, takes over Caesar’s story. Wyatt shines here, bringing in images of urban rebellion that have as much zeitgeist as the first Apes movie did in 1968.

Compared to this musical titan, the rival composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) is nothing. A prestige movie in its time, Amadeus satiates an audience’s hunger for big frosting-covered cakey spectacle and palaces surrounding a story of dubious history. The production numbers are stagey. There will be a performance of Mozart’s music before the film with San Jose Chamber Orchestra; and a talk about Mozart after the film with conductor Barbara Day Turner.

REVIEW

metroactive FILM when the victim (Grace Kelly), who is supposed to die quietly, grabs a huge pair of scissors. John Williams steals the show as the mustard-keen Inspector Hubbard.

Also starring Robert Cummings and Ray Milland, unfortunately. BILLED WITH Shadow of a Doubt. A bright, trusting niece (Teresa Wright) with a bit of a crush on her uncle (Joseph Cotten) begins to suspect the man of being the “Merry Widow Murderer.” One of Alfred Hitchcock’s key essays on the subject of betrayal. (Plays Aug 13-19 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

The Maids THE ROOTS of the story of Titus Andronicus go back to the Roman poet Ovid. The Help (a relatively benign and bloodless variation) proves once again that Shakespeare certainly knew sure-fire material. The bestselling book’s notorious “Terrible Awful” incident, staged in the segregation-era Mississippi, seems like due justice to the film audience. The story is, on the surface, patronizing, a late-harvest variation on The Member of the Wedding.

Struggling writer Skeeter (Emma Stone), just out of Ole Miss in the early 1960s, seeks oral histories from the black maids who keep things running in Jackson, Miss.

Skeeter’s studies are perhaps dangerous.

Times are politically volatile; we know this because we hear Bob Dylan on the soundtrack and see Medgar Evers on TV. Still, Skeeter presses her friend’s servant Aibileen to talk. As that maid who first tells her story, Viola Davis is very good with wisdom born of pain; she’s the actress Oprah Winfrey always wished she was.

Decked out in rebellious curls, the liquideyed Stone builds what’s going to be deserved stardom with a variation on her character in the spirited Easy A. Stone’s getting so funny and so damned good she even steals a scene from Allison Janney.

Cuddly yet furious Octavia Spencer

(Aug 17 at sundown in San Jose on Post Street between First and Market.) (RvB)

LIONS AMONG MEN revamps another archetype at Minny: the bulky, shrewd black maid, reminding the audience how much they used to enjoy that kind of comedy in 1940s films. As the employer yet protégée of Minny, Tree of Life’s Jessica Chastain also shines as a curvy, good-hearted white-trash refugee from Sugar Ditch.

That tragic real-life town’s K_\ ?\cg name reinforces the story’s PG-13; 137 min. metaphor of raw sewage as Plays a symbol for stinking, halfvalleywide buried racism. And Chastain is quite comic and plaintive as a victim of snobbery.

Sissy Spacek has a small but key role as the slightly senile mother of the hateful clubwoman Hilly—playing this snobby villainess given just desserts, Bryce Dallas Howard delivers her first really forceful performance.

Confident actor-turned-director Tate Taylor handles this cast in What Would George Cukor Do? style. The art direction, photography and musical selections (except for the Dylan needledrop) are all first-rate, even if the accents are shaky. Of the white cast, only Spacek really has it right. To hear her pronounce the word “Biloxi” is enough to get nostalgic for the South.

Reviews BRIDESMAIDS (R; 125 min.) Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a Milwaukee woman going downhill. Her ex-boyfriend (Jon Hamm) uses her for sex. Suddenly, Annie’s best pal, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), announces her impending marriage. Lillian also introduces a new gorgeous friend (Rose Byrne) who elbows Annie aside and takes charge of the wedding. The wedding planning becomes more pretentious, more expensive and ever more humiliating for Annie.

Wiig is at her most comically nonchalant as the desperation seeps out of her pores. In her capacity to register degrees of comedic suffering, this actress suggests what happens when like when a movie is really loose down deep in its soul, and is not just wobbly and formulaic. But Judd Apatow was the executive producer, and Bridesmaids is shaped like an Apatow film: it’s a half-hour too long. Though it’s released as a chick-flick alternative, we still get the traditional pointless fight between Annie and her new man (Chris O’Dowd). (RvB)

BUCK (PG; 88 min.) Buck Brannaman, subject of this excellent documentary, spends most of the year driving through the West and holding clinics on the gentling of out-of-control horses.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (PG-13; 125 min.) Above all, a luxurious recreation of the past; the long 3-D chase through 1940s Brooklyn is one of the best arguments for that technology that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. It is an appealing comic-book story: the legend of how a New York stripling became the patriotic champion of World War II. Chris Evans must have got some of whatever it was that they shot up into the real Captain America.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signiďŹ cantly improved from his days in the weak Fantastic Four series, and his air of melancholy reminds you of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;40s star Alan Ladd.

Hugo Weaving is the impressively disďŹ gured villain, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of scope any more than he likes the nickname Der FĂźhrer bestowed on him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Skull.â&#x20AC;? Joe Johnstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction may be too much in the mode of a classic â&#x20AC;&#x2122;40s movie for the kids, but it has loads to offer, including a drily funny Tommy Lee Jones and surprising art direction. (RvB)

COWBOYS & ALIENS

CRAZY, STUPID LOVE

(PG-13; 118 min.) The summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dullest blockbuster. It plays like the result of someone ďŹ&#x201A;icking between TV channels: a bug hunt on one show, an overdressed Western on the other. Daniel Craig plays Jake, an amnesiac outlaw of the 1800s who teams up with Col. Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), a small-town boss (one imagines one of the many versions of the script describing him as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sadistic but fairâ&#x20AC;?). The two macho men and the survivors of a blasted town team up against razor-toothed and fairly uninteresting creatures from beyond. Could have used some more rewriting to go over the love interest between Craig and Ella (Olivia Wilde), the saloon girl who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shooed away; Wilde seems to have the most trouble acting around the spots where the CGI is going to take place. The ďŹ lm wants to be taken seriously, as a metaphor for how the West was spoiled. Since director Jon Favreauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots are as a comedy director, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange how anxious this movie is not to be laughed at.

(RvB)

(PG-13; 118 min.) A comedy with Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore.

(R; 109 min.) Friends With BeneďŹ ts follows No Strings Attached, which bowed earlier this year, and both tackle the idea of two friends having all the beneďŹ ts of a sexual relationship with none of the emotional strings attached. Both ďŹ lms walk a ďŹ ne line between raunchy, slapstick humor and classic romantic comedy sentimentality, but Friends with BeneďŹ ts edges out slightly ahead. Even stranger than the similar concepts is that both are the follow-up ďŹ lms for Black Swan stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. While Portman hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always shown her silly side, Kunis grew up (literally) on the hit sitcom That 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Show and has proven comedy chops. She uses some of that to her advantage but, unfortunately, she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really given much to work with.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 (PG-13; 130 min.) The saga wraps up in a cluttered, confusing, if fast-paced adventure in which Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) confronts Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

THE CHANGE-UP (R; 113 min.) Filthy, creepy bromance. Weenie Justin Bateman and Absolute Dick Ryan Reynolds are the buddies who switch bodies.

The magical-realist calamity brings them closer. What starts as a urine sword ďŹ ght ends in love tattoos and scrotum-shaving. Women of all types interfere: a horny hag; a vastly pregnant succubus; and a tantalizing ofďŹ ce wench whose own sword tattoo reminds us that she, too, goes for the scrotum. The wench in question, a secretary, is played by a heavily body-doubled Olivia Wilde. Leslie Mann gets the worst of it; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weeping, horny and smelly, thanks to Thai food diarrhea. Despite their attempt to write Frat-Bro Pidgin, the scriptwriters show their age. A real serial-killer-style moment has The Dick justifying himself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would not believe the nasty stuff I get women to do just by asking. Really, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revolting.â&#x20AC;? Sure is. (RvB)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocent enough and Kunis and Timberlake have enough chemistry that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very enjoyable. However for a ďŹ lm that is constantly referencing, and knocking, romantic comedy ďŹ lms it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up being the antithesis or savior of the genre it hopes to be. Instead itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another middling rom-com that gets some genuine laughs but is nothing special. (MM)

HORRIBLE BOSSES

(PG-13, 94 min.) Whatever happens, one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong ďŹ lling up the screen with Paris. Woody Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest includes some sweet vistas. Owen Wilson is Gil, a disenchanted Malibu screenwriter who wants to be a novelist. As a result, he gets midnight visitations

by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda.

(The gilded couple is played by Tom Hiddleston and Alison Pill.)

The nights continue, and Gil meets the artistic and literary lights of the 1920s, magically reincarnated. One night, he meets a ďŹ&#x201A;apper (Marion Cotillard) with a similar yet drastically different taste for nostalgia. The not very pungent point is stretched into a culture-vultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of Play It Again, Sam. Midnight in Paris is a harmless, gentle nothing, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a moldy vision of the city during its era of artistic adventurousness. (RvB)

(R; 100 min.) This may not be the ďŹ rst hit comedy of the summer, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deďŹ nitely the ďŹ rst good one. Not only does the ďŹ lm bring the laughs, but it also boasts a well-written script and skilled directing. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cast, led by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, that puts the nail in the cofďŹ n. Horrible Bosses may not be the most original or sidesplitting comedy of all time, but it has all its pieces in the right spot. The kernel of the story is that friends Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day) all have horrible bosses (played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Donald Sutherland and Jennifer Aniston). Playing nicely (and subtly, thank you) into the current economic crisis, they realize it would be easier to off their bosses than look for new work. From there itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a basic comedy of errors but with some nice detours. Aniston, surprisingly enough, is really the breakout star of this. Finally playing against type, she and Day play off each other

A LITTLE HELP (R) Jenna Fischer tries to extricate herself from comic troubles.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

THE NAMES OF LOVE (R; 102 min.) The cautious Arthur Martin (Jacque Gamblin) meets a free-spirited kooky girl named Baya Benmahmoud (Sara Forestier) She calls herself â&#x20AC;&#x153;une pute politiqueâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a political whore, who sleeps with right-wingers in the hopes of opening them up to a world of liberation. Two salient points here. First off is the oldtime and inarguable charm of a female star who keeps losing her clothes. The second are the political cross-currents of the ďŹ lm: Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uneasy historical memories as the obstacles of a love story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occasionally cute.

American liberals can watch this and dream of a left-wing France in the same way they daydreamed over the long shots of Paris in the new Woody Allen. But the movie gets as feather-headed as its heroine. The resolution of this comedy in a moment of resounding conformity shows just how stale the cake is under its whipped cream. (RvB)

RAPT (Unrated; 125 min.) Lucas Belvauxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie is a prime example of the French thriller as a doctorate class in misanthropology. Yvan Attal plays Parisian businessman Stanislas Graff, chief shareholder in the family ďŹ nancial enterprises.

Snatched and blinded with black ski goggles, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hidden. Soon, his family receives a severed ďŹ ngertip and a demand for 50 million euros.

The cops want to play it toughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then the ďŹ lm reveals that Graff was not just a friend of the minister of the interior but quite the compartmentalizer, with a shadowy life. Steady proceduralism and excellent support from Alex Descas and GĂŠrard Meylan (as a chatty, honorable Marseilles gangster) warm the real deathly coldness of the situation.

Ultimately, the crime isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kidnapping, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shattering of the Rules of the Game. The interesting, silkily satirical idea at the heart of the ďŹ lm is that this level of high society can bear all kinds of terror, but it cannot endure injured pride. (RvB)

SARAHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KEYS (PG-13; 111 min.) Kristin Scott Thomas plays a journalist who investigates a terrible incident from World War II.

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON (PG-13; 157 min.) Blending in TV and newsreel footage, the new Transformers tells how Transformerism was hushed up in the 1960s. On the moon, Optimus Prime jumpstarts an aged robot sentinel. Meanwhile, evil Megatron vows revenge in the African veldt.

The ďŹ nal battle (45 minutes of drowse-inducing clash) takes place in Chicago after an opening act in D.C. A strange variety special with killbots, the ďŹ lm approaches entertainment through the unleashed ďŹ&#x201A;amboyance of the actors. John Malkovich lolls at the feet of a robot like a puppy. Alan Tudyk supplies some European suaveness as a Dutch bodyguard.

Frances McDormandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disgust with the entire ďŹ lm is infectious.

Strange how well 3-D improves matters, too. The technique forcibly slows the editing and gives some visual dimension to what used to look like wrathful lawn-art junk sculptures, or $300 million versions of the roller-skating saps in a production of Starlight Express. (RvB)

ZOOKEEPER (PG; 102 min.) The world holds its breath in anticipation of the newest Kevin James comedy masterpiece about an animal caretaker who seeks romance with the help of his furry friends. With appearances by such beloved stars as Sylvester Stallone and Adam Sandler.

With a roster dominated by iconic funk acts like George Clinton, Maceo Parker and Tower of Power, it was a risky move for a music festival that still had “jazz” in its name.

Some purists may have scoffed, but the lineup was a great success.

Not only did it draw the biggest audience in the history of the festival, but it put the organizers up there with the most progressive in the country—part of a quickly spreading movement that stresses inclusion and accessibility over strict genre boundaries. It also secured the Jazz Fest a spot among the top halfdozen jazz festivals in the country.

The ironic thing is that last year’s programming was only a splashier, more audacious version of what the festival has been doing all along. It hasn’t been a strictly jazz festival for years (if it ever was), but in the past it didn’t get the credit for its intriguing programming. How many knew, for instance, that it had quietly become the biggest Latin music festival on the West Coast?

If the key to last year was accepting a new range of genres, this year’s is accepting a new generation.

There are the big headliners, of course, like blues and gospel legend Mavis Staples, and organizers have even gone back to the funk well with the Ohio Players.

San Jose Jazz’s new executive director, Michael Miller, knows it’s the main stage acts that will bring the biggest crowds, but he thinks the real heart of the festival lies with the up-and-coming musicians on the other nine stages.

“What we’re most proud of is giving these emerging artists a chance to be heard,” says Miller. “You’re seeing young twentysomethings coming up with this great new sound.”

Indeed, this year the festival has managed to snag several young musicians making jazz and stretching its boundaries, just as they seem poised to break out.

“In a year or two, you’ll be able to say, ‘I saw them first at the San Jose Jazz Fest,’” says Miller.

Here are four up-and-coming acts to watch: TROMBONE SHORTY: Hearing Trombone Shorty’s record Backatown last year was the jazz equivalent of stumbling upon A Tribe Called Quest’s new brand of hip-hop in the early ’90s. Only 25 years old and with a Grammy nomination and a chart-topping jazz album already under his belt, he has the power to influence his genre as much as Tribe changed theirs. More informally going by Troy Andrews, the guy can absolutely crush a beat, delivering heavy funk one minute, and a shimmering chill groove the next.

“We never sat down and really thought about concepts and what we wanted our music to sound like,” says Andrews. “It’s just that, over the years, we allowed each one of the band members to bring their influences and taste in music into our music. Also, being from the city of New Orleans and being able to hear different bands and musicians, as students of music, anything we hear or are influenced by, it naturally comes out in what we’re trying to do.”

Andrews has been playing trombone since he was 6, and was still a teenager when Lenny Kravitz took him out on tour. Having grown up in the Treme neighborhood, he worked with the New Orleans Social Club on their post-Katrina benefit work. His NOLA roots were fully in evidence on Backatown, but they may be even more so on his new record, For True, coming out this fall.

Among his collaborators on the album are a New Orleans cast of characters that includes Ivan and Cyril Neville, bounce rapper 5th Ward Weebie, the Rebirth Brass Band and Galactic’s Ben Ellman.

“We’ve got a lot of New Orleans people on this new record—the music just called for it. The Rebirth Brass Band, these are all people that helped me to grow in my career and teach me different things. And 5th Ward Weebie, who’s one of the lead voices in the bounce community, we’re like brothers,” says Andrews.

A testament to Andrews’ versatile sound is the fact that he’ll perform entirely different sets on San Jose Jazz Fest’s main stage (Saturday at 2pm) and blues stage (Saturday at 9pm).

Jones had watched him perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2006, and declared him one of the best heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever seen. But the Havana-born Rodriguez didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the decision to leave his family lightly and kept the legendary producer waiting until 2009.

Blending a Thelonious Monkâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;type inventiveness with classical precision, the 25-year-old Rodriguez will release the ďŹ rst fruits of his collaboration with Quincy when his debut album is released this fall. He plays the San Jose Jazz Fest with his trio on the San Jose Rep stage (Sunday at 6pm).

ZOE KEATING: Indie music fans may know Zoe Keating from her stint in the Marilyn Manson/Nine Inch Nailsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;linked cello group Rasputina, or her guest appearance on two songs from Amanda Palmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better known for her electronically boosted, heavily layered solo sound, a powerful and atmospheric sonic cocktail that combines her classical training with a modern, cinematic feel.

Appropriately, she is providing the music for Christopher Salmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animated adaptation of Neil Gaimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Price. She performs on the Jazz Beyond Stage (Friday at 8pm).

BLUES CARAVAN: Girls With Guitars: Before Yugoslavian singer-songwriter Ana Popovic was winning awards in this country, she was touring as part of the Blues Caravan. Every year,

Ruf Recordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Caravan tour features three young female blues guitarists, and this year Dani Wilde is returning (having had an opening slot on the tour in 2008), along with Samantha Fish and Cassie Taylor.

British singer and guitarist Wilde got her start at 17, and her soulfulbeyond-her-years voice and electric ďŹ nger-picked sound has fueled two solo albums so far. At age 22, Fish has just broken out of the blues scene in Kansas City, Mo., with her debut album, Runaway, and a love of Southern-fried blues-rock.

Multi-instrumentalist Cassie Taylor grew up performing with her bluesman father Otis Taylor and, now in her 20s, is pursuing her own career. The trio lay the triplethreat guitar on heavy, and last year recorded a Girls With Guitars album together in Berlin, featuring an eyebrow-raising take on the Rolling Stonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bitch.â&#x20AC;?

THE SAN JOSE JAZZ FEST will be held Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sunday, Aug. 12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14, at the Plaza de Cesar Chavez (Main Stage) and nine other stages in downtown San Jose.

Thursday at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, 8pm; $53-$59 Snoop Dogg’s set was one of the highlights of BFD at Shoreline this year. From the green grow lights constantly washing over the stage to the lap dances he was getting onstage, to everybody raising their cups for “Gin and Juice,” the maniac in black Mr. Snoop Eastwood has still got it.

Michael Bublé Saturday at HP Pavilion in San Jose, 8pm; $73-$110.50 How many famous musicians can say they got their big break from former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney? Probably just Michael Bublé, who toiled in near-anonymity for several years before Mulroney heard one of his albums and hired him to sing “Mack the Knife” at his daughter’s wedding. That led him to the top of the jazz charts with his distinctive take on standards, and later to a level of fame that can only be classified as Appearing on SNL with Jon Hamm. (SP)

Saturday at Mountain Winery in Saratoga, 7pm; $45-$95.50 Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in ‘83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost … Oh sorry, American Psycho flashback there. Hey Paul!

CONCERT

Outside Lands BACK IN 2008, the first Outside Lands took the Bay Area by storm.

Literally, in fact, as I remember watching several dozen people there scale a hill and trample a fence between stages to get from Beck’s set to Radiohead, who had 80,000 people suddenly converging on them because for some reason they were the only band scheduled to play that last Friday night slot. OK, there were some kinks to work out, but it was a pretty amazing three days, with a lineup full of hip bands like a justabout-to-break Bon Iver, Broken Social Scene, Wilco, and a lot of others. But in subsequent Friday through Sunday years, its cool factor has taken a beating from its sister music festival on Treasure Island, which Golden Gate Park in was roping in hipper acts from both the rock and San Francisco electronic scenes. This year, though, the pendulum has swung back, with Outside Lands boasting $85 single day. bands like MGMT, Girl Talk, the Decemberists, Beirut and Deadmau5. Now, granted, I saw most of those bands at Treasure Island two years ago, but it’s still a hell of a lineup, especially when you factor in headliners like Muse, Arcade Fire and the Black Keys. ( To show you how quickly things change, just a year ago Black Keys could only rate a depressingly inappropriate mid-day slot at BFD). Add in bands-of-the-moment like our own Limousines, KFlay (the Bay Area’s hottest rapgirl right now) and Little Dragon, from Sweden, and this might be the best Outside Lands yet. —Steve Palopoli

CONCERT

Katy Perry RAISED by two evangelical pastors in Santa Barbara, Katy Hudson left high school and released a Christian gospel album in 2001. When it flopped, she decided to go the pop route and changed her name to Katy Perry so as not to be confused with actress Kate Hudson. Perry quickly proved she’s not the typical California Gurl, with her ability to write (or at least co-write) hit song after hit song, starting with “I Kissed A Girl” in 2008. Her most recent Friday, August 12 album, Teenage Dream, was one of nine albums in history to produce four or more number HP Pavilion ones on the Hot 100, which ultimately led to her crowning as the first musician in history to 7:30pm; $35-$45. spend an entire year on the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, she’s dabbling in Hollywood, putting her sugary sweet speaking voice (quite different than the husky tone she’s known for in her songs) to use as Smurfette in the new Smurfs movie, and delivering a hilarious cameo as a naïve, unassuming girl on the comedy series How I Met Your Mother.—Anna Pan
