OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE It’s easy to complain about our favorite bands “selling out,” because we believe there’s a value in the meaning of music that goes beyond crass commercialism. But how many of us would actually be able to turn down a multi-million-dollar check to let one of our own songs be used in what might suddenly seem like just one harmless little commercial?

That’s one of the reasons John Densmore makes such a fascinating profile subject in Wallace Baine’s cover story this week. (The others, of course, include the fact that he played in the Doors, one of the most important rock bands on the ’60s counterculture movement, and that he just wrote a book about his bandmate Jim Morrison). As you read the piece, I wonder if you’ll start over-

NO MORE KNIT PICKING

4

As a senior, I was interested in Hugh McCormick’s article about staying active (GT, 8/14), and turned to it first.

I was very disappointed. I am not a highincome senior who can afford Dominican Oaks. Nor can I pay for the classes offered

by PEP through Dignity Health. I live in lowincome senior housing. We don’t have a van to take us anywhere.

We do have opportunities to stay active in Santa Cruz, and I am sorry Mr. McCormick didn’t care to include some of them in his one-sided article. Louden Nelson Center offers several classes for active seniors, and my own exercise choice, Toadal Fitness, has very reduced rates for seniors.

There was a quote by Ms. Routly, executive director of Dominican Oaks, in which she says, “Our seniors aren’t just sitting around knitting.” I am a longtime knitter and member of the Knitting Guild of Santa Cruz. This group has many seniors as members and is active in the community knitting and donating many items such as chemo caps and various sweaters, scarves, shawls, etc. to the Homeless Garden Project

analyzing Densmore’s words the way I did, as if they held some secret clues to what makes this guy able to stand up to that kind of temptation for the sake of artistic integrity. The funny thing is, I’m not sure there is such a mystery. The answers are pretty much right there in what he says. Give it a read and see if you agree.

I also wanted to mention that comedian Shane Mauss returns to Santa Cruz next week, bringing his Stand Up Science! show back to DNA’s Comedy Lab on Tuesday, Aug. 27. I mention this because not only did Mauss himself make a great coverstory subject for us last time he was here, but both of the UCSC scientists he brought to speak at the show were so great we immediately wanted to do cover stories on them, too. (One of them was Barry Sinervo, who we did a cover story on in July). I don’t know who his guests are this time, but you can bet I’ll be there to find out. Oh yeah, and Shane is really funny, too!

Ms. Routly might want to plan a trip to the county fair and visit our booth. We are a vibrant group, and we knit.

I expect GT to publish well-rounded articles, which represent the diverse population residing in our county. This article did not.

MARGO FISHER | SANTA CRUZ

REPAIR OUR ROADS Last week’s article in GT stated that 20 years of deferred maintenance (and storm damage) on our 1,764 miles of county roads has resulted in a $453 million backlog of repairs needed to make them safe and passable. The RTC has allocated a mere $2.8 million annually in funding for repairs, not even enough to keep up with yearly costs. As pointed out in the article, there are many rural roads that have been relegated to a single lane. The RTC’s priorities need to become more focused on the roads we have, not on continual, expensive rail corridor studies and a dubious contract with Progressive Rail that will suck away untold millions of taxpayer dollars in order >8 to bring the tracks up to Class I

Nourish Wellness Center has established itself as a giving partner for Freedom for Immigrants through the end of August. The Santa Cruz-based center is donating $1 for every person who comes to one of its massages, yoga classes or nutrition consultations. The money goes to the National Bond Fund, which provides support to get immigrants out of detention centers while they await court hearings. For more information, email info@ nourishsantacruz.com or call 359-5335.

The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter is getting the word out about an opportunity for potential cat owners to “Fall in Love Before the Fall.” Feline adoption fees typically range from $55-120. But due to a high volume of felines, the shelter is lowering adoption fees to just $19, in honor of the year 2019. Adoption fees include vaccinations, a microchip, a cardboard cat carrier, and a spay or neuter operation. To see available cats, visit scanimalshelter.org.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

It’s not cost-efficient to recycle plastic. Sorting and processing the used materials to make them available for fresh stuff is at least as expensive as creating new plastic items from scratch. On the other hand, sending used plastic to a recycling center makes it far less likely that it will end up in the oceans and waterways, harming living creatures. So in this case, the short-term financial argument in favor of recycling is insubstantial, whereas the moral argument is strong. I invite you to apply a similar perspective to your upcoming decisions.

Sailors have used compasses to navigate since the 11th century. But that tool wasn’t enough to guide them. A thorough knowledge of the night sky’s stars was a crucial aid. Skill at reading the ever-changing ocean currents always proved valuable. Another helpful trick was to take birds on the ships as collaborators. While at sea, if the birds flew off and returned, the sailors knew there was no land close by. If the birds didn’t return, chances were good that land was near. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I think it’s an excellent time to gather a number of different navigational tools for your upcoming quest. One won’t be enough.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 African American slaves suffered many horrendous deprivations. For example, it was illegal for them to learn to read. Their oppressors feared that educated slaves would be better equipped to agitate for freedom, and took extreme measures to keep them illiterate.

Frederick Douglass was one slave who managed to beat the ban. As he secretly mastered the art of reading and writing, he came upon literature that ultimately emboldened him to escape his “owners” and flee to safety. He became one of the 19th century’s most powerful abolitionists, producing reams of influential writing and speeches. I propose that we make Douglass your inspiring role model for the coming months. I think you’re ready to break the hold of a certain curse—and go on to achieve a gritty success that the curse had prevented you from accomplishing.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

GEMINI May21–June20

As the CEO of the clothes company Zappos, Sagittarius entrepreneur Tony Hsieh is worth almost a billion dollars.

If he chose, he could live in a mansion by the sea. Yet his home is a 200-square-foot, $48,000 trailer in Las Vegas, where he also keeps his pet alpaca. To be clear, he owns the entire trailer park, which consists of 30 other trailers, all of which are immaculate hotbeds of high-tech media technology where interesting people live. He loves the community he has created, which is more important to him than status and privilege. “For me, experiences are more meaningful than stuff,” he says. “I have way more experiences here.” I’d love to see you reaffirm your commitment to priorities like his in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’ll be a favorable time to do so.

For 25 years, businessman Don Thompson worked for the McDonald’s fast food company, including three years as its CEO. During that time, he oversaw the sale and consumption of millions of hamburgers. But in 2015, he left McDonald’s and became part of Beyond Meat, a company that sells vegan alternatives to meat. I could see you undergoing an equally dramatic shift in the coming months, Gemini—a transition into a new role that resembles, but is also very different from, a role you’ve been playing. I urge you to step up your fantasies about what that change might entail.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 “The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot,” wrote author Audre Lorde. As an astrologer, I would add this nuance: Although what Lorde says is true, some phases of your life are more favorable than others to seek deep and rapid education. For example, the coming weeks will bring you especially rich teachings if you incite the learning process now.

The American idiom “stay in your lane” has come to mean “mind your own business,” and usually has a pejorative sense. But I’d like to expand it and soften it for your use in the coming weeks. Let’s define it as meaning, “stick to what you’re good at and know about,” or “don’t try to operate outside your area of expertise,” or “express yourself in ways that you have earned the right to do.” Author Zadie Smith says that this is good advice for writers. “You have to work out what it is you can’t do, obscure it, and focus on what works,” she attests. Apply that counsel to your own sphere or field, Leo.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Yisrael Kristal was a Polish Jew born under the sign of Virgo in 1903. His father was a scholar of the Torah, and he began studying Judaism and learning Hebrew at age 3. He lived a long life and had many adventures, working as a candle-maker and a candy-maker. When the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945, Kristal emerged as one of the survivors.

He went on to live to the age of 113. Because of the chaos of World War I, he never got to do his bar mitzvah when he turned 13. So he did it much later, in his old age. I foresee a comparable event coming up soon in your life, Virgo. You will claim a reward or observe a milestone or collect a blessing you weren’t able to enjoy earlier.

What do you want from the allies who aren’t your lovers?

What feelings do you most enjoy while you’re in the company of your interesting, non-romantic companions?

For instance, maybe you like to be respected and appreciated. Or perhaps what’s most important to you is to experience the fun of being challenged and stimulated.

Maybe your favorite feeling is the spirit of collaboration and comradeship. Or maybe all of the above. In any case, Scorpio, I urge you to get clear about what you want— and then make it your priority to foster it. In the coming weeks, you’ll have the power to generate an abundance of your favorite kind of non-sexual togetherness.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Medical researcher Jonas Salk developed a successful polio vaccine, so he had a strong, rational mind. Here’s how he described his relationship with his non-rational way of knowing. He said, “It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner.” I bring this up, Capricorn, because the coming weeks will be a favorable time to celebrate and cultivate your own intuition. You may generate amazing results as you learn to trust it more and figure out how to deepen your relationship with it.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey once formulated a concise list of his requirements for living well. “One must be reasonable in one’s demands on life,” he wrote.

“For myself, all that I ask is: 1. accurate information, 2. coherent knowledge, 3. deep understanding, 4. infinite loving wisdom, 5. no more kidney stones, please.”

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you to create your own tally of the Five Crucial Provisions. Be bold and precise as you inform life about your needs.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “We may be surprised at whom God sends to answer our prayers,” wrote author Janette Oke. I suspect that observation will apply to you in the coming weeks. If you’re an atheist or agnostic, I’ll rephrase her formulation for you: “We may be surprised at whom Life sends to answer our entreaties.” There’s only one important thing you have to do to cooperate with this experience: set aside your expectations about how help and blessings might appear.

Poet Muriel Rukeyser said, “The world is made of stories, not atoms.” I’d add, “You are made of stories, too.” What’s your favorite story that you’re made of? freewillastrology.com. © Copyright 2019

ONLINE COMMENTS Re: District Elections: An interesting situation for the city of Santa Cruz. But Ebenstein seems confused—or he is distorting the law—when he says, “The California Voting Rights Act is pretty specific about districts as the remedy.” ln fact, the law, as revised in 2015-2016, clearly states, “District-based elections

shall not be imposed or applied in a manner that impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice as a result of the dilution or the abridgment of the rights of voters who are members of a protected class.” That is, if district elections don’t solve the problem, they can’t be imposed.

Defense attorney Annrae Angel to challenge embattled Judge Ariadne Symons in 2020 race BY JACOB PIERCE

A

fter filing a statement of intent to run in the 2020 election, defense attorney Annrae Angel spun around in the county elections department’s lobby.

Angel looked to the supporters and journalists waiting to hear her speak and made her pitch to serve as a judge on the Santa Cruz County Superior Court. The most important thing for judges to do, she said, is to show integrity, so they can earn the community’s trust. Without that trust, said Angel, the fabric of the community can start to unravel.

“When there’s a problem, it has to be addressed,” she said. “Santa

Cruz County deserves to have judges that will rule with integrity and treat people with respect— because otherwise, how do you trust the courts?”

Angel didn’t mention her opponent by name, or even answer questions about why she’s running against Judge Ariadne “Ari” Symons.

But in light of a public censure handed down to Symons last spring from the Commission on Judicial Performance, the subtext was clear.

Angel’s colleague Lisa McCamey, who showed up in support, was more explicit in referencing the commission’s decision. Among its findings, a report from the oversight

body found that, in an attempt to get out of a ticket for running a red light, Symons used her connections at the court, worked the system and had her husband lie under penalty of perjury to try and make it disappear.

“We deserve a judge with high ethical standards, not someone who’s going to fix a ticket,” says Lisa McCamey, a local attorney who won’t let Symons hear her cases, because she believes the judge has shown bias against her.

A June story in the Santa Cruz Sentinel traced Symons’ checkered reputation back to 1991, when she was an Orange County prosecutor and was reportedly accused >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 21-27, 2019

Two years after opening its doors, biotech incubator Startup Sandbox is demonstrating that it’s ready to play in the big leagues.

Five of the 20 biotech companies that have spent time at the incubator have proven their product ideas and grown large enough to move into their own offices.

Nearly all of those companies have chosen to stay and hire in Santa Cruz.

Startup Sandbox, which launched in August of 2017, has become one way of helping UCSC talent stay local, rather than letting them take their breakthrough technologies—and plans to hire employees—over the hill. The incubator has added training programs for member companies, along with a new venture capital fund to offer financial backing.

There were already several wellestablished incubators and accelerators in the Bay Area, including Berkeley SkyDeck, Stanford-affiliated StartX and MBC BioLabs in San Francisco.

The lack of such a program in Santa Cruz had long been a point of discussion at UCSC. The university has “a deep portfolio of intellectual property,” and had been looking for years to establish an off-campus incubator where that research could be commercialized, says Lou Pambianco, Startup Sandbox’s chair and CEO. The opportunity to do so came two years ago, as part of a $2.2 million state allocation to UCSC to spur innovation and entrepreneurship. UCSC put $700,000 of that into the Sandbox right away. The school provided another $150,000 to Sandbox in last August.

Sandbox offers office and lab space as needed to young companies. The idea is that those companies will generally stay at Sandbox for one to two years, or until they can validate their product ideas and attract enough funding to branch out on their own.

One of the companies that launched out of Sandbox is Unnatural Products, which uses computer algorithms and chemistry to predict and test ways to fight disease.

of lying in a child molestation case.

McCamey stressed that even with Symons’ personal attorney handling negotiations with the committee, the body still handed down the most severe punishment possible short of removing her from the bench.

In issuing its decision, the commission indicated that it factored in two prior disciplinary actions directed at Symons in the past seven years. One of those happened three years ago, when Symons received a private admonishment for a few violations, including criticizing the transient population and disclosing

confidential information. Given that the admonishment is private, both its genesis and specific details are unclear. But it may refer to a 2013 Public Safety Task Force meeting, when Symons called Santa Cruz a “magnet” for homeless people and criminals looking to break the law.

MOUNTING A DEFENSE In a statement issued yesterday, Symons says she’s “proud” of her work and views herself as a “tough but fair” judge.

Many supporters are sticking by Symons’ side. After the censure this past spring, Symons released a response signed by 45 supporting

politicians, legal officials, law enforcement representatives, and community leaders. Signees included former Congressmember Sam Farr, former state Assemblymember Fred Keeley, Santa Cruz Mayor Martine Watkins, and three county supervisors.

One of those who signed on was family attorney Vicki Parry, who says she was blown away by the four years that Symons spent in family court. Parry says many judges struggle with the complicated transition to an entirely different legal framework, but not Symons. “She was super bright, well-researched, and >16

DUDE, WHAT’S MY RENT? In a bold gambit to do something—literally, anything— about soul-crushing housing costs in Santa Cruz, the city council has moved to ... continue studying whether they should figure out how much it actually costs to rent here.

At an Aug. 13 meeting, councilmembers debated whether to start a new rental housing database with information on rent hikes, lease terms and evictions.

The black hole of housing data does make it tough to track local cost-of-living trends, but starting a database without any other policy changes comes off as an epic case of beating around the bush. Average rents shot up more than 11% in the last year alone, according to estimates by housing listing service Rent Jungle.

Framed as a way to build “trust” between landlords and tenants, a pilot project expected to cost $30,000125,000 would focus on collecting data voluntarily from now forward, capturing none of the drastic rent increases

reported in recent years. Now, a two-person council committee will consider launching a more robust tracking program to get good data faster.

Similar databases are a divisive issue in cities like Beverly Hills, where the local apartment association is suing the city for violating constitutional privacy rights with a plan to create a “de facto registry of residents and rents.”

At last week’s meeting, Nuz particularly appreciated a community member’s riff on the city’s descent into a “bureaucracy of nothingness.”

If the City Council majority truly believes in just-cause evictions as a policy solution, it could pass a new tenant protection ordinance. It might wouldn’t go over well after the defeat of Measure M last fall, but it would let city staff focus on the important work of approving new housing units— seeing how we’re in a housing shortage that’s really at the root of this whole mess.

Should we get moving on solutions to start digging us out of the problem, or should we sit around arguing about how deep the hole is?

PEN IN DOUBT Ever since late July, when crime reporter Michael Todd left the Santa Cruz Sentinel, the daily hasn’t had a full-time journalist dedicated to cops, courts or even the infamous crazy squirrel beat.

Instead, the Sentinel’s cop stories are getting covered by committee, with reporters Nick Ibarra and Jessica York picking up the slack. Santa Cruz needs those two covering policy stories, and crime reporting is a notoriously draining gig. Here’s hoping management does its job and brings another warm body into its newsroom soon.

COMMIT TO MEMORY The Sentinel picked up the story of a legal threat against Santa Cruz, which GT broke last week, that aims to force district elections on city.

In the Sentinel article, City Councilmember Chris Krohn lamented the demise of a short-lived Charter Amendment Committee, which was gonna do the important legwork of studying possible ways to improve elections. It really is a shame. It sounds like Krohn really has a

bone to pick here, and it’s about time someone starts asking tough questions!

Let’s see, who are some people he should talk to? What was the name of that guy who was instrumental in kicking the whole committee to the curb in the first place? Oh, yeah. Chris Krohn. Start with him.

HARD PASS The Santa Cruz Warriors have hired a new head coach in Kris Weems, who had been an assistant for the team. Outgoing Head Coach Aaron Miles will be heading up to the Golden State Warriors with Head Coach Steve Kerr, which makes sense because he was Kerr’s guy to begin with.

Fans of the Warriors will tell you that the last two seasons’ Warriors teams performed well in spite of Miles’ game management, not because of it.

Before joining the Santa Cruz organization, Weems apparently spent three years as director of athletics for the Menlo School in Atherton, California. If he knows how to call timeouts and make in-game adjustments, the Sea Dubs should be fine.

Sandbox with providing a valuable launching pad for their company. They fell in love with Santa Cruz while working on their doctorate degrees at UCSC, Pye says, and they were excited when Sandbox gave them a way to stay in the city and commercialize their ideas.

They joined Sandbox in January 2018 and are moving into an office on Delaware Avenue this month, where they plan to have nine employees by the end of the year.

They’ve raised $1 million and are currently working on raising another $5 million.

“Unfortunately, most of the PhD graduates we know have to matriculate on to other cities to find jobs that allow them to use their expertise and use their degrees,” Pye says.

Sandbox is starting to change that, he says. Having gone through talks with investors and other companies, the incubator “really put Santa Cruz on the map as a place where you can do this,” Pye says.

Sandbox is a nonprofit, and one sign of its growing stature is that it now has an affiliated for-profit venture capital fund, called Natural Bridges Fund. The fund launched this year to make investments exclusively in companies that are selected to join the incubator.

Judy Owen, who originally led the Sandbox with Pambianco, is spearheading the growth of the Natural Bridges Fund as the incubator’s general partner. The goal is to raise an initial $1 million, and eventually another $10 million, to make seed-round investments in Sandbox companies.

Sandbox has also added business training programs to give entrepreneurial advice to company founders, who mostly come from science backgrounds. Much of the training Startup Sandbox offers comes from the more than 25 people in its Founders Circle. These donors have contributed a total of $200,000 to the Sandbox and volunteer their time by acting as advisors to the incubator’s members. Current

Sandbox members include Cruz Foam, a team creating a styrofoam alternative using seafood scraps, which was honored as Innovator of the Year at the 2018 NEXTies.

The 13,500-square-foot Sandbox on Natural Bridges Drive has already generated a slew of biotech graduates with a footprint larger than the incubator. Of the five companies that have moved out of the incubator, four of them set up offices in Santa Cruz and have a cumulative 15,000 square feet of production space, Pambianco says. A fifth company moved into lab space in Silicon Valley.

The five companies that have outgrown the Sandbox demonstrate the wide range of what a “biotech startup” can mean. In addition to Unnatural Products, the group includes internet-connected hydroponic-garden maker Aeroasis, 3D-bone-implant producer Dimensional Bioceramics, cancer-screening company Prime Genomics, and Claret Bio, which helps prepare DNA for sequencing.

Aeroasis Founder and CEO Tom Wollenberger, says Sandbox offered a

“legitimizing space,” where potential employees, investors and customers could see his venture was a serious company.

Aeroasis joined the Sandbox in April 2018 and moved into its new office on Soquel Drive this past March. The company has raised $250,000 in funding and is raising another $750,000, with plans to have a team of around a dozen employees by the end of this year.

Pye says one appealing aspect of Santa Cruz is that it’s close enough to the Bay Area that the Sandbox incubator companies have access to the concentration of venture capital there. But even with that proximity, Santa Cruz “is distinctly not the Bay Area. It has its very own culture that we really love,” Pye says.

People here prioritize enjoying life a bit more than they might over the hill, he adds. “Finding similar-minded people and surrounding yourself with that is a good way to balance pigeon-holing yourself and not forgetting what’s important outside of the company.”

NEWS BENCH PRESS <14 I appreciated all the time she took in not only learning a new kind of law, but also for being sensitive about the difficult situation it is for the litigants,” Parry says, noting that some litigants will have their kids taken away in the process.

Before walking into Symons’ courtroom for the first time, Parry remembers feeling nervous, because she’d heard whispers about the judge’s supposedly poor reputation.

Parry isn’t sure where those murmurs came from, but says that word can travel quickly in a small legal community like Santa Cruz County’s, and she’s found rumors about local justices to often be incorrect.

LAW INSPIRING Angel and Symons are the only two candidates who’ve announced bids so far for the 2020 race.

If a candidate gets more than half the total votes in the March 3 primary, that candidate will be elected outright. If no candidate reaches the 50% voter threshold, the top two candidates will advance to a runoff in the general election the following November.

Angel already has some campaign experience. She ran for judge once before, five years ago in Santa Clara County, where she finished in third place in a primary election. Symons was first elected in 2008.

In general, Angel said that she doesn’t mind a tough judge, and she knows that she won’t win every case. As a criminal defense attorney, she often ends up losing, she says. But her favorite judges, Angel said, are the ones that listen to what she’s saying and take everyone’s points of view into account. That is the way she would preside if given the opportunity, she said.

“Every person who comes before me will be treated with respect, will be listened to, will not be ridiculed, will not be put down,” she said. “I will listen to what they have to say.

I will apply the law, and I will do what I am guided to do as the right thing.”

Former Doors drummer John Densmore signs his new book 'The Doors Unhinged: Jim Morrison's Legacy Goes on Trial' at Streetlight Records on Saturday, Aug. 24.

Dug Our Treasures John Densmore brings his new book about the legacy of Jim Morrison and the Doors to Santa Cruz

BY WALLACE BAINE

B

If it was Morrison’s intent to convince his bandmates of the purity of art in the face of commerce, he succeeded spectacularly in at least one instance. Doors drummer John Densmore was, to quote Hamilton, “in the room where it happened.” And long after Morrison’s death in 1971 at the age of 27, Densmore has emerged as one of rock music’s most stalwart holdouts against commercialism.

Densmore, 74, comes to Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz for an Aug. 24 book signing to promote his book The Doors Unhinged: Jim Morrison’s Legacy Goes On Trial. The book opens with the story of Morrison’s confrontation with his bandmates on the Buick deal.

But the bulk of Unhinged focuses on the long and bitter legal battle between Densmore and the other surviving members of the Doors. At issue was the legacy of the band and Morrison’s rejection of crass commercialism.

In a phone interview with GT, Densmore says that he opened his book with the Buick episode to give readers a sense of Morrison’s passion on the issue of selling out.

“I wanted to show what I had learned from Jim, because he had passed on, and I was just trying to honor my ancestor,” he says.

Even though the band shared songwriting credits, “Light My Fire” was mostly composed by guitarist Robby Krieger. “If he cared that much about a song that Robby primarily wrote, that said to me that he cared about all our songs, the whole catalogue,” says Densmore. “I’ve tried not to forget that.”

In 2002, Densmore vetoed a proposed deal from

efore Jim Morrison was a legend—the pouty, slithering id of the freak-flag generation—the Lizard King was just another L.A. longhair in a rock band, sitting on the sofa during a tedious rehearsal at his guitarist’s parents’ house.

Even then, before he and his band the Doors were vaulted into stratospheric fame, Morrison was audacious. He suggested to his bandmates—Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore—that they share songwriting credits evenly (though Morrison was writing most of the songs at that point), and that they make all decisions about the band’s future unanimously.

In rock’s long, sordid history of selling out, Morrison’s gesture is a significant moment that still resonates more than 50 years later. In the epic battle between artistic idealism and commercial pragmatism, idealism rarely comes out on top. But, at least for the first three albums of the band’s fabled career, all songs were officially credited to “the Doors.”

Morrison’s nod to Three-Musketeers egalitarianism would be put to the test just a couple of years later, after the Doors had become legitimate stars, when Buick came calling with an offer of $75,000 to use “Light My Fire,” the band’s signature song, in a commercial. Morrison, as was his habit, was nowhere to be found when the offer came to the band, and—facing a deadline—the other Doors agreed to the deal. When Morrison found out, he went berserk. “You guys just made a pact with the Devil!” he thundered. The Doors soon backed out of the deal.

Cadillac that would have paid the band $15 million for the use of “Break On Through (to the Other Side)” in a commercial for luxury SUVs (Cadillac turned to Led Zeppelin instead). He did the same on a deal with Apple that would have netted the surviving Doors another $4 million.

“All I was doing was trying to honor (Morrison’s) legacy,” says Densmore. “Look, if you’re a new band trying to pay the rent, do a

commercial. I get it. But if you’ve had some success, like we had, maybe you should revisit that decision.” Quoting Tom Waits, who has publicly defended Densmore’s actions, Densmore says, “When you sell rock songs for commercials, you change your lyrics to a jingle and the music to the sound of coins in your pocket.”

Densmore’s vetoes irked his former bandmates, particularly keyboardist Ray Manzarek. But

<20 what dragged them all into court was Densmore’s insistence that Manzarek and Krieger could not tour as the Doors. In 2003, Manzarek and Krieger recruited former Police drummer Stewart Copeland and singer Ian Astbury of the Cult, and began touring as “The Doors of the 21st Century,” using the famous Doors logo. Densmore filed an injunction against Manzarek and Krieger, who then counter-sued, seeking $40 million in damages.

Densmore then persuaded the families of Morrison and his girlfriend Pamela Courson (who died in 1974) to join sides with him in the suit, a canny move that symbolically underscored Densmore’s contention that he was only acting per Morrison’s wishes.

‘END’ TIMES To say the least, Morrison had an unusual relationship with his birth family, to the point that he once publicly declared his parents to be dead—which they probably wished they were after hearing his crazed Oedipal rant about murdering his father and having sex with his mother in “The End.” Considering Morrison’s father George Morrison was a U.S. Navy admiral and commander of naval forces during the Vietnam War, the estrangement between father and son was emblematic of the famed generation gap in the 1960s.

“Yeah, there was a pretty clear cutting of the umbilical cord there,” deadpans Densmore. “I had never met Jim’s dad, and if it wasn’t for the trial, I never would have. But he came up to me, stuck his hand out and said, ‘Y’know, these are weird circumstances, but it’s great to meet you.’ And I felt the same. There was a kind of healing of the whole trauma of the ’60s for me. I mean, here was this career military man, and he was coming to stand up for his counterculture son’s artistic legacy.”

Densmore’s record of defending Morrison’s wishes to avoid commercial endorsements isn’t entirely clean. He and the other Doors allowed “Riders on the Storm” to be used in a tire commercial in the U.K., but Densmore believes it

was a mistake and says he donated his share of that deal to charity.

For a band named after Aldous Huxley’s account of his psychedelic experience The Doors of Perception, and who scored hits with such transcendent songs such as “Break On Through” and “People Are Strange,” Densmore feels that the Doors had a particular responsibility to avoid the taint of commercialism.

But the trial, which began in 2004, wasn’t about advertising. Densmore believed that Manzarek and Krieger were exploiting the Doors’ name and logo, and that the trio had agreed that the Doors as a performing entity died with Morrison. Manzarek and Krieger were finessing the issue by calling themselves the Doors of the 21st Century, but Densmore claimed that the last part of that rather clunky name was printed in much smaller type in the promotional material.

“To be clear,” says Densmore, “I love Ray and Robby’s playing. I was not discouraging that. I was just saying, ‘C’mon, call it something else.’ ‘Former members of the Doors,’ or ‘Founding members,’ whatever.

The Doors without Jim is kind of ludicrous.”

Densmore drew on several powerhouse names in the music business for support during the trial, including Waits, Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, Tom Petty, and others. Even Copeland, who was in the beginning part of the newly constituted band, ended up standing with Densmore. On the other side, Manzarek made the argument in court that Morrison’s reaction to the Buick ad in 1968 had no bearing on the Cadillac deal in 2003.

Manzarek suggested that had he lived, Morrison would have probably evolved on his attitudes towards making money, and accepted the deal. He also claimed that the allfor-one arrangement that gave each band member veto power over all decisions was “part of the Doors mythology” and “a fiction.”

In the end, the court sided with Densmore, and the decision was upheld on appeal. Manzarek and Krieger pushed the case all the way to the California Supreme Court,

which refused to rule on it. The legal dispute was over. Densmore received a quarter of the profits from the Doors of the 21st Century tour, and his former bandmates continued to perform as D21C and finally, simply, Manzarek-Krieger.

“Financially, I came out OK,” says Densmore. “But emotionally, I was completely drained.”

BREAKTHROUGHS Not surprisingly, the trial drove a wedge between Densmore and the other Doors. But in the final chapter of The Doors Unhinged, Densmore makes an effort to make peace with Manzarek and Krieger. Directly addressing them both, Densmore admitted that he “couldn’t handle losing” either of them.

“What I wanted to say to them was, ‘Look, I know this book will be a hard pill for you to swallow, but I want you to know I love you guys and we created magic together in a

garage.’ That’s the bottom line.”

Manzarek died in 2013 of cancer of the bile duct. Densmore says that he and the iconic keyboard player had a chance to reconcile before his death.

“When I heard he was sick, we were semi-estranged,” says Densmore.

“So I called him. We didn’t know then it was going to be our last conversation, but it was a good conversation and it was healing. We didn’t talk about the legal stuff, just health and family and stuff.” Since Manzarek’s death, Densmore and Krieger have also reconciled, and they’ve even performed together.

Densmore’s stand is remarkable because it’s so rare. Songs from so many of the archetypal artists of classic rock’s dinosaur era have appeared in advertising—Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, U2—that the hoary old Boomer cry of “sellout” doesn’t have much meaning anymore.

Maybe Manzarek was right. Maybe a middle-aged Jim Morrison would

have welcomed a big payday and somehow framed getting a Doors song on a Cadillac ad as a subversive act. The Doors’ music has been used prominently in films—Forrest Gump, Monsters Inc., Apocalypse Now, and, of course, Oliver Stone’s biopic The Doors. The band was paid handsomely for those projects, and Densmore cashed those checks without a guilty conscience. He has no problem with making money, he says.

But he makes a clear distinction when it comes to the world of advertising. Allowing Jim Morrison’s sinister snarl on “Break On Through” to be used to sell what he calls “a gas-guzzling, global warming Sherman Tank called a Cadillac Escalade” would have destroyed the credibility the band built with its millions of fans, in his view.

In his book, Densmore quotes Robby Krieger—who, remember, was on Manzarek’s side in the suit— as making the ultimate argument

against selling out. “Many kids have said to me that ‘Light My Fire’ was playing when they first made love or fought in Vietnam,” Densmore quotes Krieger as saying. “If we’re only one of two or three groups who don’t do commercials, that will help the value of our songs in the long run. The publishing will suffer a little, but we should be proud of our stance.”

Densmore is at work on another book, this one about the musicians who have inspired him. Included in the book, he says, will be a chapter on Manzarek, the talented keyboardist who also handled bass duties on his keys. “He could split his brain into two musicians, and that’s magic,” says Densmore.

He’s even evolving in his attitudes about Morrison, whose alcoholism and unpredictable behavior in the last years of his life have undermined his image as rock’s dangerous mystic poet. “People ask me all the time, ‘What if Jim had lived?’ And I used to say that he wouldn’t have lived. He was a kamikaze drunk, determined to destroy himself. But now, you look at people like Eric Clapton, who was a creative angry guy like Jim. Well, it’s cool to be clean now. Maybe Jim would have been fine.”

As for his own image, Densmore has emerged as an unlikely symbol for integrity in rock music. “Look, I have ‘The Doors’ etched across my forehead forever, and that’s a good thing. But it’s been all been downhill since ‘Light My Fire,’” he says.

“When all this started, I thought, ‘What am I doing? I’m suing my bandmates? Am I nuts?’ Then there was always Jim’s ghost over there in the corner, saying, ‘Do this for me.’”

Despite it all, Densmore still retains a sense of humor about the question of selling out. “I don’t know,” he quips. “What do you think? How about ‘Love me two times, because I just took Viagra?’

That would be a great commercial!”

for her meticulous framing of The Winter’s Tale at Ashland—framing that heightened the play’s unique structure and mythic motifs.

Echoing the myth of Hades and Persephone, the play begins in the winter created by a rift in the friendship between two kings. In Greek mythology, Hades kidnaps Persephone, the goddess of the harvest. Her mother Demeter plunges the land into perpetual winter, and only when Persephone is allowed to leave Hades does springtime return, bringing fertility and abundance. And love.

Shakespeare’s version creates a radical split between winter, occurring in King Leontes’ Sicily, and springtime in King Polixenes’ Bohemia. The tale is separated by a sudden flash-forward 16 years, the only time such a temporal leap occurs in all of Shakespeare.

The contrast, which reflects the sudden jealousy of King Leontes, and his subsequent banishment of his wife Hermione, requires our complete surrender to the depth of the characters’ pain. Only then will we be able to embrace the pastoral playfulness of the play’s second half, with a bit of magic at the end.

Stanley’s 1975 version of the production stressed the play’s “three worlds” within these two halves. The first, “a tragedy of sexual jealousy,” as she calls it, in Sicily, then the “strong rural comedy” of Bohemia 16 years later, and finally a stunning redemption back in Sicily. When asked today to characterize The Winter’s Tale, Stanley immediately responds: “Tragedy and comedy, the lot! It has everything.” And so the tough job of the director is to “maintain unity while still moving the action forward.”

Stanley’s own narrative begins with her childhood in Whitstable, Kent, and London, where she was first introduced to theater through pantomimes at a young age. Asked when she knew that her life would be in theater, Stanley recalls that she began “as a child of 5, directing and acting, both at the same time.

I organized my friends and we gave a performance on the beach.”

In an oral history with Cameron Vanderscoff, she recalled, “We had

a very enterprising young English teacher who took us up to London on the milk train at 6:00 in the morning to sit outside the Old Vic Theater and attend performances there. So I saw early Laurence Olivier and Alec Guinness in plays. It just was very natural to me to do that.” The theater company she started at the University of Bristol is still going strong today, she notes with pride.

From Bristol to Canada, Colorado and finally San Francisco, Stanley acted and directed her way west, where she worked on her PhD in Dramatic Art at UC Berkeley while teaching at UCSC’s emerging Theater Arts program in 1969. The death of her colleague C.L. Barber kickstarted the desire to establish a Shakespeare festival on the UCSC campus. Did she suspect the festival would be a success? “Of course. I never doubted.” With a chuckle, she quickly adds that her co-conspirator Karen Sinsheimer (wife of thenUCSC Chancellor Robert Sinsheimer) helped make it happen: “We were like two war horses with a runaway chariot.” She smiles broadly at the memory. “Karen organizing the board of directors, and me doing the practical things,” Stanley recalls. Those practical things involved bringing in former London colleagues Tony Church and Julian Curry, both Royal Shakespeare Company actors. Thanks to the ACTER program, which brought actors in residence from England to U.S. universities, others happily followed—including Patrick Stewart and Paul Whitworth. “The Royal Shakespeare Company actors raised the game for local actors,” she recalls.

Stanley says the current production of The Winter’s Tale interests her. Is this play a particular challenge? I ask. “An actor—a good one—can convince the audience of anything,” she laughs. The woman who brought Shakespeare to Santa Cruz still can’t get enough theater. “When I visit England, I like to have my fill of theater,” she said with twinkling eyes. “Sometimes three plays in one day!”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE Extra Large was chosen as Best Local Band nine times by GT readers.

But their upcoming end-of-summer gigs will be the band’s last in Santa Cruz.

Extra Gone

S

ummer in Santa Cruz has its distinctive touchstones: RVs lumbering along on West Cliff Drive, kids swarming the beach in red junior guard bathing suits, and the music of Extra Large emanating from a beach somewhere along the county’s coastline.

But after more than two decades together, Extra Large has announced that its tenure as one of Santa Cruz’s most popular live music acts is over. After the band’s last gig this summer—Sept. 28 at the Capitola Beach Festival—Extra Large will be no more, at least in Santa Cruz.

“After 20-some-odd years, we have made the decision that we’re going

to stop performing here, and quit while we’re ahead,” says the band’s lead singer and songwriter Russ Leal. “We made the decision that we wanted to stop performing here on our own terms, and not be at a show where people might go, ‘Y’know, you guys are done. We’re over you.’ We wanted to go out extra large.”

The band also features Leal’s wife Valerie on vocals, as well as Gary Andrijasevich on drums, Chris Sandman on bass, Dave Byron on lead guitar, and Dan Becker on keyboards and accordion. The Leals have a second home in the Los Cabos area of Mexico, and they say the band will continue to play gigs there. But for locals, the Extra Large Era is over.

Extra Large first emerged in the late ’90s, as a unique player on the local music scene. They weren’t easily categorizable in a genre, and they preferred to play original music rather than covers. “We could have gotten more corporate gigs if we were some kind of cover band or tribute band,” says Valerie Leal, “but we just didn’t do it.”

The band tends to talk about their music in terms of mood more than genre. The sound is a groove-oriented mélange of reggae, soul, R&B, hip-hop, and funk, but the common thread is an upbeat and sunny message of enjoyment and relaxation, a sense of in-themoment jubilation that fits well with

After two decades, perennially popular local band Extra Large calls it quits in Santa Cruz BY WALLACE BAINE

summer on the beach. The band has also released a number of recordings of its original music, most recently 2017’s Just Smile. They’ve been voted Best Local Band by GT readers nine times.

The Crow’s Nest has been one of Extra Large’s spiritual homes for many years, and on Aug. 29, the band will play their final show on the beach there. Valerie Leal says that with each passing show this summer, the decision has become more real for her and her bandmates.

“During performances, we’ll make eye contact with other members of the band, and it’s this kind of surge of emotion,” she says. “It’s becoming a reality in a way that it wasn’t when we first made the decision.”

Russ Leal began his music career as the son of a well-known jazz saxophonist in Santa Cruz named Frank Leal. Russ was performing with his dad in the 1990s when Scotts Valley restaurateur Patti Malone approached him and asked him if he had his own band. “I lied,” he says. “I told her, yes. Then I got a band together.”

Since then, the band has played throughout Northern California.

In Santa Cruz County, they quickly developed a reputation for original feel-good vibes. But in out-of-town markets, they continuously had to sell themselves to audiences.

“People identify with our music,” says Valerie Leal. “Russ writes the most positive, happy songs and, especially in this current (political) climate, people are appreciating that a lot. We make them smile.”

As for the rapidly approaching end of Extra Large, Russ Leal has found a kind of exhilaration with each passing show. “To be honest, since we’ve made the decision, I’ve had more fun than I’ve ever had,” he says. “For example, when we played [Capitola’s Wednesday Night Summer Twilight Concert], there were thousands of people there and I thought, ‘This is the last time I’m going to be here doing this, I’m going to give them everything I got.’”

Why Soquel’s Nick Gallant recorded his latest album in California state parks BY AARON CARNES

L

ocal singer-songwriter Nick Gallant remembers going to the Salton Sea, setting up his recording equipment, and getting ready to record the song “I Don’t Want To Wait Anymore” for his latest album State Park. He was parked in his van, and he looked around at the desolate and decaying landscape around him, with dead fish everywhere, wondering why he felt he had to drive all the way out here just to record a song.

“The feeling of solitude, of this being my own journey, sunk in for me.

I felt a great sense of purpose that I was doing this for more than just the

recording,” says Gallant. “I was doing this for me, as a man, trying to bond with myself and learn about myself.”

The song’s expression of loneliness is striking, a noticeable contrast for the folk-rock songwriter, who’s released four albums prior to State Park and is most known for his upbeat folkpop 2013 tune “Wanderlust,” which was featured in Tap Tap Revenge, a popular mobile game that was downloaded 2 million times.

Gallant wanted to make a different kind of album. To do that, he needed to break out of his normal routine of recording music in the privacy of

his home studio. For State Park, he recorded each song at a different California state park from last November through April.

The idea was initially sparked by his love for state parks, where he likes to camp with his family as frequently as possible.

“When I’m camping, it creatively gets me in tune with writing. I’m writing music while camping,” Gallant says. “Why not put the two together and actually record an album at state parks?”

For this project, he visited the parks alone. Most of them are in Southern California—he flies

down to Southern California two days every week for his day job, managing the music/audio team for Disney Games and Interactive Experiences. Instead of a hotel, he’d rent a van and spend the evening recording the track at a park.

It was a completely different experience for Gallant, who’s used to having total control and cherishes his ability to be meticulous about everything he records.

“I’m the guy that auto-tunes my vocals. I’m really nitpicky. This way was kind of like, ‘Let it go,’” Gallant says. “I was excited to do this record. It’s not going to be overproduced. These songs were meant to be recorded this way.”

Other environmental elements reared their head unexpectedly. On the album closer “My Shadow”—a particularly reflective, sad song recorded at Silverwood Lake State Park—it poured rain during his visit.

The sound of the rain hitting the van was picked up by the microphones.

Gallant kept it.

“I was forced to be OK with some of the environmental stuff that made it onto the recording,” Gallant says.

“It was dark and stormy subject matter. And then there’s this rain in the background. It was kind of amazing when it happened.”

Now that the record is finished, he’s well aware that it’s unlikely to yield a pop-y single like “Wanderlust” that gets licensed for a popular video game. But how many people listen to the record doesn’t really matter to him. The experience means a lot to him for a variety of reasons.

“This whole process made me realize that just the process of making a record was important. The record could come out and no one would listen to it. That would be okay,” Gallant says. “The journey of making it was just as precious to me as the actual product. Not every creative endeavor in my life has been that way. I hope when I die that my two sons will sit down and crack a beer and listen to my 15-20 records that I made and remember me in that way.”

Nick Gallant performs at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way. $10 adv/$15 door.

LOCAL BAND

AURORA BEAM Don’t call Watsonville band Aurora Beam math rock. Sure, the group has complex riffs and an instrumental prog-rock vibe that usually gets associated with the subgenre, but they also have a loose groove and incorporate unique influences. The band’s members call it “jazz punk.”

“We gave ourselves our own label, because I don’t think we’re math rock,” says drummer Shane Luevano.

“We’re a little bit more than what that genre entails.”

The group started three years ago as a two-piece with Luevano and guitarist Mario Martinez-Sanchez.

AUGUST 21-27, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“Mario had played in other bands.

One was a five-piece band. Getting everyone’s schedules in line—we always seemed to be free at the same time. It just worked out,” Luevano says.

38

As the group found their sound by digging into complex parts and pulling from every genre they could imagine, they found they liked having just the two members. Martinez-Sanchez even got a setup where his guitar would send a low signal to a bass amp and a higher one to his guitar, creating a full sound.

MALIMA KONEH

WEDNESDAY 8/21 HIP-HOP

REVERIE Life wasn’t always easy for Reverie, but at least growing up in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood, there was always hip-hop. At 18, she started rapping over her brother’s beats, transforming notebooks of poetry into vivid, nimble bars. Even then, her style was confident, with an ear for hip-hop’s underground and an eye on the horizon. Now, 10 years later and with international acclaim behind her, Reverie is an integral part of L.A.’s underground scene. At the Catalyst she brings longtime friend and collaborator Gavlyn, a fellow Latinx artist from the city of angels.

MIKE HUGUENOR

“There’s a musical understanding between Mario and I,” says Luevano.

“There are times when we don’t have to say anything. We just play our instruments and it goes together.”

Sean Green was dragging a fake dead body around North Hollywood when police handcuffed him. In his defense, he was just doing his part on the unaired reality TV show America’s Biggest Asshole, but trust me, that line only works so many times.

Malima Kone, who hails from Burkina Faso, West Africa, belongs to the jeli tradition of the Bwaba people, meaning that he’s a storyteller. His foray into music began at the age of 3. By 9, he was playing the kora (a 21-string African harp) with his uncles and father, learning everything by tradition. Today, he lives here in Santa Cruz, and not only carries his history and African heritage with him, but also incorporates the music into other global influences like reggae, soul, jazz—not to mention that he sings in five languages. AC

rock grooves over analog synths and thick hazy guitars. Lead vocalist Octavio Genera struts with a deep, sexy croon and swoops up into a gritty, almost-falsetto known to make listeners weak in the knees.

His rock-star swagger never gets in the way of topical lyrics reporting on the current social climate, from gentrification to immigration. Soft White Sixties recorded its newest album Alta California with a Spanish version also made available. AB

The symphony has been a staple of live music since the 18th century, and continues to wow audiences. It’s evolved over time, though rarely do audiences get the opportunity to witness this gradual change in one sitting. Espressivo, a local orchestra that makes big sounds with just a dozen or so players, will be taking people through the three primary periods of the symphonic genre, beginning with the baroque (George Frideric Handel’s Concerti grossi), moving through the classical (Joseph Hayden’s “Evening”), and finally onto the neoclassical (Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony). It’ll be an evening of beautiful music that will also engage your desire for higher learning

FILM

MANIC PANIC Cate Blanchett goes all-out in the title role of ‘Where’d You Go, Bernadette.’

Go Time AUGUST 21-27, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Cate Blanchett strong in uneven adaptation ‘Where’d You Go, Bernadette’ BY LISA JENSEN

44

M

y spidey sense always cautions me to be wary of anything that smacks of “Chick Lit”— fraught relationships between mother and daughter or husband and wife; tension between a freewheeling protagonist and her censorious neighbors; lots of shopping. The first few scenes of Where’d You Go, Bernadette seem to tick off all the appropriate boxes—especially with Cate Blanchett center stage in the title role, in full-on ditz mode.

Yes, it’s weird to see patrician, often-austere Blanchett as Bernadette, rattling around the house like Lucy Ricardo, carrying on lengthy sarcastic monologues

about her life while ordering stuff on her tablet (she does all her shopping online), then wading through cartons of new purchases.

Or feuding with a sniffy neighbor about a mountain of wild blackberry bramble between their two yards.

Blanchett does it well—in fact, she’s terrific in her instant transitions from icy and imperious to flirty to sardonic. But it’s a little disorienting, like watching the young Katharine Hepburn play an airhead in Bringing Up Baby.

Things soon settle down for Bernadette, and the movie. Directed by the ever genre-crossing Richard Linklater from a script he wrote with Holly Gent and Vince Palmo,

it’s adapted from the hugely bestselling 2012 novel by Maria Semple.

While the book was a comic odyssey about the search for a woman in flight from 20 years of domesticity, Linklater chooses to keep protagonist Bernadette Fox front and center throughout his movie, caught in the throes of suburban life in Seattle with her tech-sector husband and their teenage daughter. The main mystery here is not where she’s gone away to, but how she got here in the first place.

The unfolding of Bernadette’s backstory is the most interesting part of the movie. She’s introduced as “just” a housewife in a somewhat ramshackle old house she shares with husband Elgin (Billy Crudup)—creator

of a computer animation program snapped up by Microsoft—and teen daughter Bee (fresh and appealing newcomer Emma Nelson). Easily annoyed, Bernadette dislikes other people, but she’s devoted to her family.

Dad works a lot, but mother and daughter are so deeply bonded, Bee calls her mom her best friend. They sing along to Cyndi Lauper in the car, and when Bernadette is challenged by an uptight neighbor (Kristen Wiig), Bee staunchly backs her up.

But like the old paint on the walls, Bernadette’s surprising past life is deftly peeled away. No spoilers here if you haven’t read the book, but her story is revealed in glimpses of video docs, old articles and a smart sequence of dueling monologues when Elgin and Bernadette, in separate conversations, reflect on their marriage.

So the movie is not about Bernadette finding herself, but reclaiming who she once was and bringing that aspect of herself back to life. In Linklater’s design, the title refers not so much to her physical absence toward the end of the story, but to the vacation she’s apparently taken from herself, submerged in family life for the intervening years.

The sitcom elements in the first half get a bit wearying, especially the animosity between the neighbors. Crudup and Blanchett are the same age, but his Elgin seems too young, almost insubstantial a partner for her Bernadette, or it may be that his character’s reserve is outshone by Blanchett’s vivacity.

While the woman-empowering message is not subtle (“If you don’t create, you become a menace to society,” an old friend and colleague bluntly tells Bernadette), it’s worth pondering. And the movie offers up some truly awe-inspiring visuals of towering ice floes dotted with penguins and lounging seals in Antarctica, where the story winds up. Linklater deserves big kudos for capturing this glorious landscape on film, while it still exists.

WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE?*** (out of four) With Cate Blanchett, Emma Nelson, Billy Crudup, and Kristen Wiig. Written by Richard Linklater, Holly Gent & Vince Palmo.

From the novel by Maria Semple. Directed by Richard Linklater. An Annapurna release. Rated PG-13. 104 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES

AUGUST 21-27, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ANGEL HAS FALLEN Nothing says “mediocre action thriller that is basically just waiting around to be shown over and over on TNT during the NBA offseason” like a movie from this bizarre franchise, which also includes Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen, and features Gerard Butler keeping various world leaders from being assassinated by terrorists. This time, he’s the one on the run, after being framed for an assassination himself. Whoa, what a twist! Perhaps the next entry can be called Gerard Butler Has Fallen, and trace the downward spiral of his career from poor man’s Russell Crowe to poor man’s … er, Gerard Butler. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Co-starring Morgan Freeman, Jada Pinkett Smith and Piper Perabo. (R) 120 minutes. (SP)

46

LUCE The recent arc of Octavia Spencer’s film roles, from model NASA intellect in Hidden Figures to psycho in Ma, is the perfect setup for what may be the most anticipated indie film of the year. Spencer plays a teacher who locks herself into all-out psychological warfare with a black student who is himself either a model citizen or a maniac. Or maybe both?

Neither? So many people want to know how this film ends that when you google “Luce movie” the first suggestion that comes up is “Luce movie spoilers.” Co-starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. (R) 109 minutes.

(SP) OVERCOMER I want it on the record that I am writing about this religious-based drama under protest, as I am completely opposed to … films whose titles turn verbs into nonsensical new nouns.

What will they call the sequel to this feelgood story of a failed high school basketball coach who finds new hope training a cross-country athlete? Coacher? The Assisterer?

Overcomerest? Directed by Alex Kendrick. (PG) (SP) THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON This quirky retelling of the Huck Finn story features an appropriately odd collection of talent. Shia LeBeouf?

Dakota Fanning? Thomas Haden

Church? They’re all part of this story about a young man with Down’s Syndrome who runs away from his residential care facility to chase his dream of being a pro wrestler.

Written and directed by Tyler Nillson and Michael Schwartz. (PG-13) 93 minutes. (SP) READY OR NOT I sort of understand why The Hunt got shelved after the recent mass shootings, even though it seems like a terrible decision to do so.

The film is, after all, yet another variation on the old short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” which is an unmistakably anti-murder work.

(On the other hand, I haven’t seen The Hunt—nor has anyone, since it wasn’t screened for critics—so maybe there’s something I don’t know about its content that makes what seems like a pathetic kowtowing to political pressure actually a very good decision.) What I don’t get is why Ready or Not, which is also a spin on “The Most Dangerous Game,” has completely escaped this same controversy. Is it because the idea of the bride-to-be being hunted by her future in-laws is done with more overt black comedy than the grim tone of The Hunt? Is it because the trailer features more crossbow than gun violence? The distinction between the two doesn’t make a whole lot of sense—but hey, neither do our country’s gun policies, so I guess that works.

Directed by Matt Bettanelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet. Starring Samara Weaving and Adam Brody. (R) 95 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 What do these birds have to be angry about anymore? Their ridiculous mobile game has been downloaded more than 3 billion times in 10 years. They already had a terrible

animated movie, and because it was an inexplicably huge hit, now they’ve got another one. Calm down, birds! Directed by Thurop Van Orman. Featuring the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Jones and Bill Hader.

(PG) 96 minutes. (SP) THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN What, another dog movie?

Aaaaaaah. Oh god, no, please tell me the dog doesn’t narrate the story about his human family, with all kinds of crappy dog wisdom about life and love? I can’t even right now. Please make it stop. Directed by Simon Curtis. Starring Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried and the voice of Kevin Costner.(PG) 109 minutes. (SP) BLINDED BY THE LIGHT Just when it looked like Yesterday had the Academy Award for Quirkiest Spin On Our Insatiable Nostalgia For Classic Rock all sewn up (it’s one of those Oscars they pass out during the commercials), along comes Blinded By the Light, about a British-Pakistani Muslim whose teen angst can only be cured by his obsession with the music of Bruce Springsteen. Based on the memoir of journalist Sarfraz Mandoor, this is actually a true story. I mean, so was Yesterday, obviously … Directed by Gurinder Chadha. Starring Viveik Kalra and Hayley Atwell. (PG-13) 117 minutes. (SP) DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME Oh, don’t worry, new music documentary, I’ll remember David Crosby’s name. The question is: After years of alcohol, cocaine and heroin abuse, does David Crosby remember his name? Directed by A.J. Eaton. (R) 95 minutes. (SP) DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD I guess it’s been a long time since I checked in on Dora the Explorer, ’cause now she’s turned into Tomb Raider Jr. and is played by 18-year-old Isabela Moner in this live-action adventure adaptation.

What happened to, “I’m the map!

The map! The map, the map, the map?” Directed by James Bobin.

Co-starring Benicio Del Toro, Danny Trejo and Eva Longoria. (PG) 102 minutes.

THE FAREWELL We all know what

this year’s biggest blockbuster was.

What? Avengers: Endgame? Never heard of it. No, obviously I’m talking about The Farewell, which made more money at the domestic box office this year than any other film, including that one with the costume people you mentioned. Now, of course, this is only if you’re talking about per-theater average—The Farewell opened in four theaters with a record $87,833 haul per screen (Avengers’ was $76,601 across 4,662 theaters). But still, it’s kind of crazy that an art-house comedy-drama whose biggest star is Awkwafina from Crazy Rich Asians is breaking any kind of boxoffice record. Writer-director Lulu Wang’s story of a Chinese-American woman who travels back to China to visit her grandmother with a terminal diagnosis (which the family has decided to hide) is also a hit with critics, earning a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

(PG) 98 minutes. (SP) FAST AND FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS AND SHAW HOBBS: Me played by Rock! Me hate you, Shaw! SHAW: Me played by Jason Statham! Me hate you, Rock … I mean, Hobbs!

BRIXTON LORE: Hello, I’m the villain in this movie. I’m played by Idris Elba. My body has been equipped with cyber-genetic physical technology that has turned me into a sort of supersoldier, and I’ve gone rogue from MI6 to become a terrorist mastermind. HOBBS: What now? You no say big words, Idris Elbow! You want be in Fast and Furious spinoff? You talk like this now! BRIXTON LORE: Uh … OK, very well, very well. Me … make … stuff … blow up now? Hobbs: Ooh, me no hate you now, Shaw! Now me hate blow up guy! SHAW: Let’s drive fast!

Directed by David Leitch. (PG-13) 135 minutes. (SP) 47 METERS DOWN: UNCAGED I’ve seen some bad shark movies, but judging from the trailer, this sequel to the surprise low-budget 2017 hit may give them a run for their money. The first one at least had the unusual cage-diving angle, and the intrigue of wondering whether star Mandy Moore was going to

melt down on screen. This has four tourists scuba diving in Mayan ruins and encountering a playful narwhal.

Just kidding! It’s another murder shark. Directed by Johannes Roberts.

Starring Sistine Rose Stallone, Nia Long and Corinne Fox. (PG-13) 89 minutes. (SP) GOOD BOYS Little kids swearing—it never gets old, right? In fact, the makers of Superbad, Sausage Party and other raunchfests have apparently decided that the littler they are, the funnier it is. And so we have Good Boys, a comedy about 6th graders saying bad words, being wrong about sex, and unknowingly using sex toys. And you thought highconcept comedy was dead. Directed

by Gene Stupnitsky. Starring Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams and Will Forte. (R) 89 minutes. (SP) MAIDEN This documentary about Tracy Edwards, a charter-boat cook who became the captain of the first all-female crew to take on the Whitbread Round the World Race, takes place in a dark time, long ago, when the world was horribly sexist.

Okay, it was 1989, and yeah, sexism hasn’t really gotten much better. All the more reason to enjoy these lady sailors seriously kicking everyone’s ass. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK If you haven’t traumatized your kids in a while, why not take them to this adaptation of the 1980s and 1990s series of horror tales that thrilled macabre middle-schoolers and angered Christian parents everywhere? What’s really scary is how adults can’t think of any way to tap into juvenile scares besides recycling their own obsession with meta-entertainment. So, like the Goosebumps movies, this is another film where the stories in the “cursed” book it’s based on start coming true. Directed by Andre Ovredai. Starring Zoe Margaret Coletti and Michael Garza. (PG-13) 111 minutes. (SP) WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) (SP)

An exclusive Corralitos wine trek and Venus Spirits to go BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

hidden Eden for those who like to roam winding back roads and splendid open meadows— that’s Corralitos. This is the old West, where not very long ago stagecoaches rumbled through the coast range foothills. Now home to sprawling ranches, this south county landscape also grows serious grapes, and attracts winemakers able to handle them.

Next Sunday, Sept. 1, come and enjoy a self-guided tour through six Corralitos wineries, some of

them rarely open to the public. The leisurely afternoon, playfully dubbed The Barrels of Corralitos, includes a logo glass, a map and a ticket to savor flights and barrel samples at these featured wineries located a mere 20 minutes south of Santa Cruz: Lester, Alfaro, Nicholson, Storrs, Windy Oaks, and the recently added El Vaquero. All of these produce intriguing examples of Santa Cruz Mountain appellation terroir, inflected by the unique growing conditions of Corralitos. Alfaro’s plantings include a mineral-driven

Gruner Veltliner, Storrs is one of the state’s top producers of Chardonnay, and Windy Oaks’ constellation of Pinot Noirs is legendary. The 11 a.m.-4 p.m. tasting tour includes live music, winemaker tours and finger foods for purchase. Not to miss!

Tickets $475. corralitoswinetrail.com.

COCKTAILS IN A CAN The man doesn’t sleep! Sean Venus continues his quest to bring highquality, artisanal spirits to greater California consumers. To that end,

Venus Spirits has just launched a line of ready-to-drink cocktails smartly packaged in 12-oz. cans. What’s in these unbreakable containers fetchingly decorated with pastel waves? Bestsellers from the Santa Cruz tasting room, that’s what. The new line (thus far) includes Venus Spirits’ Gin and Tonic (pale blue motif), a Gin Gimlet with Cucumber and Basil (the green one, of course), and a Vodka Mule (in a pink design).

All three cocktails are 8% A.B.V. and will sell for around $15-17 per fourpack.

“We have hit another special milestone for our brand,” says entrepreneur Venus. “With these canned cocktails we can bring the Venus cocktail experience to our customers throughout California and eventually beyond.” Can you say “product placement” in the next Lionsgate production? Cocktails in cans are easy and accessible, perfect for beach barbecues or picnics or camping or to stash in your golf bag. Endless applications. Look for Venus Spirits canned cocktails in the Santa Cruz tasting room now.

Venus has also begun an eagerly awaited expansion to include an 11,500-square-foot building with a new restaurant, larger distillery, warehouse, and tasting room. The restaurant is set to open in Spring 2020. Stay thirsty, my friends!

Venus Spirits Distillery & Tasting Room, 427 A Swift St., Santa Cruz. venusspirits.com.

TASTING NOTES Always fun to see what he’s up to, Andre Beauregard of the legendary Beauregard winemaking family.

Well, for one thing, there’s his fresh, crisp 2018 Westcliff Wines Pinot Gris priced at a very user-friendly $15 (available at Shoppers Corner, where Beauregard moonlights as resident wine buyer.) We enjoyed this light, summery wine (13.1% A.B.V.) with dinner of grilled steelhead and quinoa risotto the other evening. Perfect for picnics, BBQs and al fresco conversation, the Westcliff Pinot Gris is loaded with tart apples, citrus and a tinge of honeydew melon. For sipping, not meditating. Do try it.

irst, there’s the rise of food delivery apps like UberEats and Postmates. Then there’s Blue Apron, Hello Fresh and other large do-it yourself meal prep companies. In Santa Cruz, there’s also Golden Roots Kitchen, which aims to satisfy instant-food demand with local, healthy ingredients.

In her quest for better prepared meals, Chef Melanie Geist creates a menu each week based on what’s in season. Since she and her team do the heavy lifting on sourcing and cooking, all that’s left for customers to do is eat.

How does it work?

Order online at sawasdeesoquel.com or sawasdeebythesea.com

GEIST: Each week we produce a new menu—it changes every week—with eight to 10 items. It’s designed to be customizable, so instead of things being offered TV-dinner style, we have categories like a sprouted grain, a legume, a vegetable, an animal protein, and a frittata. Things are categorized so people can chose a dish on its own, or combine items on the menu to make their own meal.

We text everyone the menu on Thursdays, and they can choose what

they want. On average, people order about five items. By Tuesday the items are ready, and people can have them delivered to their home or pick them up in our Scotts Valley kitchen. Our items range from $8-16.

What are some examples of menu items?

This week we have a roasted red pepper and Early Girl tomato soup.

The Early Girls are back in season, so we are working with Live Earth Farm to get those this week. We’ll make a cashew cream for it so it’s dairy free. We have a leek and sweet potato frittata on the menu this week— that’s a customer favorite—and we have a flourless tahini cookie.

Where do you get the inspiration to create a new menu every week?

I love Yotam Ottolenghi. I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from him. I love the Eastern flavors and using a lot of herbs and spices. When I travel, I also try to recreate dishes with produce that are local to us. goldenrootskitchen.com

ne of my favorite places to visit is Soquel Vineyards.

Situated high in the hills of Soquel on beautiful property, it is a delight to taste fine wines while looking out over the vineyards.

Complete with ocean views and an attractive patio, one could not ask for a better experience.

The hardworking trio of twins Peter and Paul Bargetto and Jon Morgan is responsible for the award-winning wines produced.

We headed there one Sunday specifically to try their estate-grown 2017 Pinot Noir ($40). Renowned for producing richly textured, full-bodied wines with structure and elegance, this luscious Pinot certainly fits the bill.

Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, this luscious Pinot deservedly won a Double Gold—Best of Class with 97 points in the 2019 Sunset International Wine Competition.

Soquel’s wines are attractively packaged, and their well-designed Trent’ Anni label celebrates 30 years in the winemaking business.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES POWERS OF THE HEART— BURNING MAN 2019

Burning Man 2019 begins this week (Aug. 25 – Sept. 2) in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. Participants co-create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to art and intentional community. Burning Man is a man-made city of art, where everything occurring is created entirely by its citizens. Every year, Burning Man has a theme. This year’s is “Metamorphoses,” a word that means a major change in form/structure/nature (not death, but change; for example: caterpillar, pupa, butterfly).

Metamorphoses is also a book of verse of mythological tales and legends written by the first-century Roman poet Ovid concerning “human folly and godly whims and luckless heroes changing into birds, beasts, trees, mountains and stars,” as the organizers of

Burning Man put it. Life is unpredictable, the journey transformative.

And so, reflecting these legends, everything at Burning Man is unpredictable. Each day is a journey, a celebratory tapestry of internal and external transformations.

The people behind Burning Man say of this year’s merriment: “Alchemists have sought to master the art of metamorphosis through esoteric [occult] means, transmuting base metal to gold [code—personality to the Soul], breathing life into the inanimate, hoping to achieve transcendence over the matter, challenging gods and kings. Burning Man’s 2019 Metamorphoses theme explores new forms of alchemy, reliant not on the elusive Philosopher’s Stone but on the limitless powers of the heart.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Notice you begin to seek perfection, first at work and then with partnerships and relationships, till finally you find you’re tense and critical about everything and everyone. Be aware of this and try not to fall into this dead-end way of being. Mars (action) is in Virgo, and one could enter into criticism or tend toward service. Virgo can at first be critical. But spiritual Virgo is about service to self and to one another. What in your life are you in service to? What are you tending to each day?

There are several messages attempting to get through to you, and they affect your future. These messages are possibly coming through dreams. Have at your bedside pen and paper should you wake with remembered impressions or dreams. A refinement is occurring within creating greater levels of goodwill, which creates Right Relations. Art of all types helps you remember your own creativity. Do you remember yourself as an artist long ago?

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You may find your attention directed toward the animal and/or plant kingdoms. Each day you concern yourself with the kingdoms that need your loving care. If it’s gardening, consider your fall and winter garden—a garden of white and gold—and figure out what roses to choose when bareroots are available. For the animal kingdom, tend to their health, teeth, fur, fins, or wings.

Their devotion serves us as they learn from us how to be human.

It’s important to maintain diplomacy amidst new and added responsibilities. You’re to be in groups with likeminded people who, like you, have very high objectives.

Stand equal with everyone, including superiors. You have an authority that others recognize. Tend to self with disciplined kindness. Be kind, and do not control others, as you would not have them control you.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

Perhaps recently you have felt you’re not meeting financial, emotional, psychological, or intellectual needs and responsibilities. You have sought freedom and new ways of fulfillment. You also want fame and fortune.

All our desires and aspirations are embryonic stages of what eventually will actually come forth. Life events are slower at times, fast at other times. You will be developing new gifts in the coming months.

Some of us, feeling we have little safety or constancy, and experiencing emotional vulnerability, seek security and hope at home. We need home to fulfill deep and needful longings. Is this you, Gem? It’s good therefore to have the home environment cleaned, refurnished with added features of safety and security. Being attentive to all that surrounds us creates a golden light to shine down upon us. Venus smiles at these words.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Concerned about finances, you attempt to quickly clear any debts, paying bills as soon as they arrive. Then, worrying less, you concentrate on communications and social interactions, which make you less lonely. It’s time to contact siblings, old school mates, friends, family and neighbors. You are always seeking and learning more.

You see the times are deeply changing us.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Finances and resources will take a turn upward. So find resources that develop and cultivate your creativity and self-esteem. Should lots of money find you, maintain its value by investing in silver and gold. You will want to manage your resources in these unusual times in unexpected ways as the tried and true financial path is quickly crumbling. Remember to tithe to organizations that assist those in need, including our beloved animal kingdom.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You may be looking in the mirror, wondering how you’re seen by others, and consider a change in appearance. You want to be attractive. If brave, you’ll seek to be stylish, hip and just a little auteur. Altering how we look alters how we feel about ourselves. Tend to forgotten tasks put off for rainy days, of which there may not be in these dog (god) days of summer. It’s a happy time for you.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Your mind often asks solemn questions about the meaning of life, and your life in particular. Continue with your manifestation drawings and writings, sharing them with family and friends. Your daily journal work creates a magnetic field around you. What you hope for and what you need one day unite due to your constant attention.

Think on these words: community, gardens, devas, greenhouse, family, travel, beauty, and art.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Notice if you feel certain levels of crisis. These are small psychological signposts that your emotional life is changing. It’s important to always follow what is right. You can include practicality and disciplines with kindness. Be sure to discuss the many alternatives before making an important decision. Be in charge, be the leader, stand tall. A new reality is emerging. You may be tested as to what path to take.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Your need order, beauty and harmony in all surroundings. Order and organization assist us, especially when difficult decisions must be made.

Orderliness helps all events to proceed easily and smoothly. You are very sensitive to deep psychological situations. Focus first upon your needs. When met, you can then assist others. If you always give yourself away, soon you’ll disappear. Don’t. Pisces are needed to save the world.

Continuing the conversation...strolling down memory lane, looking at Santa Cruz real estate and how its ongoing relationship with Silicon Valley has changed over the last 30 years.

We left off as the market was careening into the late 1990s in the crazy run-up that accompanied the even more crazy dot.com bubble.

Things were exploding outward from Silicon Valley to the rest of the planet through a rash of start-ups and IPOs. For a while, It seemed like a steady stream of thirty-something techies were wandering around Santa Cruz neighborhoods frantically searching for opportunities to convert some of their new-found manna from heaven (stock options) into chunks of more traditional beach-going brick and mortar.

If there was any doubt whether Santa Cruz was becoming a bedroom community for Silicon Valley, it vanished right around then. The median price in Santa Cruz jumped 15% between 1998-1999. Then it jumped another 30% between 1999-2000. Multiple offers became commonplace. And it wasn’t unusual to see occasional offers coming in at $10,000 (modest!) above list price. Santa Cruz’s newly-minted million dollar price range was here to stay.

Just like the late ‘80s, people started saying we’d never see another real estate market like it in our lifetimes. I had my first five-offer situation in 1998. Then my first ten-offer situation in 1999. Then my first (and only) 37-offer situation in 2000. I also had a different listing that generated a full price offer just two hours after it went on the market!

Those things were unprecedented before the rapidly expanding tide of tech millionaires began washing up on our shores. Stunning, given that at the time there weren’t any online listings, or real estate search engines or even the ability to email a pdf version of a real estate contract for electronic signatures. We were still writing and delivering offers by hand!

As real estate continued partying like it was 1999, the huge shadow lurking beneath dot. com mania began to loom larger in the guise of a growing concern about Y2K - a mass computer bug that might unleash widespread chaos around the planet. But New Year’s Eve came and went without a hitch and all remained right with the Santa Cruz real estate market.

The reckoning came some months later...

NASDAQ peaked over 5,000 in March of 2000 and suddenly people really started questioning whether there was ever going to be a “there, there” with dot.coms. By late 2000, investor jitters were in full swing. And as NASDAQ companies lost a cool $5 trillion, hiring and stock options went South as the Santa Cruz real estate market underwent a noticeable chill. Next Week’s double-whammy: NASDAQ’s crash and 9-11!
