Rhapsodies Libraries for All
Let’s give Latino populations a voice on the library commission BY KAREN GUMA
F
rom my childhood in the Deep South, I have disturbing memories of how black voters were disenfranchised. The South is still trying this, in stupidly and obviously discriminatory ways, such as voter ID laws that recognize gun permits but exclude student IDs. I expected Sonoma County to be liberal. Over time, I discovered that, while Latinos make up a quarter to a third of the population, they are scarcely visible in local government. More recently, I learned the mechanism. A large part of the Latino population lives in the unincorporated areas of the county. They don’t get to vote for the leaders. That’s more clever than the South ever was. The most recent example is the new proposed structure for the library, drawn up by Supervisor Mike McGuire’s committee with no representation from the public. Under the old structure, the unincorporated areas of the county contributed 45 percent of the library tax revenue but received less than 5 percent of the services. In the new structure proposed by the McGuire committee, the cities will each get a rep on the library commission, but the single county rep is not mandated to represent the unincorporated areas. The bulk of the library’s contributors will lose their representation, while McGuire’s district will get three reps. Committee member (and library commissioner) Julia Freis claims that this is fair because the commissioners don’t represent an area; they represent everyone in the county. One wonders, then, why the commission has never reviewed services to the Spanishspeaking, where Sonoma County lags behind other Bay Area libraries with significant Latino populations. The library commission backed an out-of-control director for eight years. It spent lavishly on outside consultants and designer furniture. It cut staff, Monday services and evening hours, but, in spite of deep public opposition, it has never put the Monday closures on its agenda. McGuire’s committee has proposed a new library governance structure that makes it easier for the cities to negotiate leases. For the public, it does nothing to ensure that the new director or the new commission will be any improvement over the old ones. Karen Guma is a retired Sonoma County librarian living in Petaluma.

Forestville Open Space I am passionately in favor of eight acres of open space in downtown Forestville. Even with an extremely modest income, I was compelled to donate generously to the cause. I understand that a compromise has been made to designate one-plus acres of the eight to development. My first choice would be all park and no development, but given the time constraints we have to adhere to, I would definitely be in favor of the compromise that has been reached. I know there is a small spoiler group that is trying to delay and ruin the progress that has been made to come to a reasonable solution. But I’m a long-time Forestville resident, and all my friends and folks I know are in favor of all park or if not that, the compromise with oneplus acres of development.
I have every hope that our leaders in county government will do everything they can to speed the process along before our D-Day with the bank and all hope for something positive in downtown Forestville is lost.

Oh! Sheila I enjoyed the letter from the happy ticket winners who loved the George Thorogood concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa (“Love the Uptown,” Sept. 18). Not only were they overly impressed with the audio, video, and lighting production value of the show, George and surprise guest Elvin Bishop sealed the deal with a kickass performance. The biggest factor in the success of the Uptown has got to be the person who books all the great talent into the theater, executive director and talent buye, Sheila Groves-Tracey. Sheila has been responsible for the stellar lineup at the Uptown Theatre since day one. If you ever wondered, or just need a reminder, who it was that, unbelievably, got all those acts to come to Napa and play BottleRock—thank you, Sheila!

No to Big Hotels Sonoma County Conservation Action’s (SCCA) strong and unequivocal endorsement and support for Measure B, the provision that would limit new hotels to 25-rooms or less (until annual occupancy rates reach 80 percent) verifies exactly what proponents have been saying all along. In a Sept. 19 press release, SCCA’s board chairman David Keller expressed the following: “The issue of how our towns and cities are going to develop within the urban core is an important one, just as we are very concerned about developments in our rural lands. We are persuaded by arguments of preserving
Rants
town character and a small-growth approach that is more appropriate for a town the size of Sonoma.” SCCA president emeritus and former Sonoma County supervisor Bill Kortum adds that “we ultimately felt that preserving the small-town experience for both residents and visitors strikes the right balance for the city of Sonoma.” Three members of the Sonoma City Council—Brown, Rouse and Cook—are arguing for no limit to the size and number of new hotels, but despite their efforts in opposing Measure B and its going to a vote of the people, the issue will be decided in a city election on Nov. 19; a vote for the future of Sonoma. Yes on Measure B.

Threads of Recovery The Grateful Garment Project supplies new clothing after sexual assault BY PAM MARINO

elissa walked along a dark stretch of Lake Merritt in Oakland, feeling a little woozy. She’d been drinking at an ’80s party hosted by a friend. She knew it was
late. Normally she wouldn’t walk alone. But she was only a few blocks from home. It was just a short distance. About a block from her apartment, a car pulled up and a man yanked her inside before speeding away. Melissa, who asked
that her name be changed for this story, watched her apartment building whiz by out of the corner of her eye. “I had a million things going through my head,” she says. “There was the fear I would never get back out of that car. And this is going to sound ridiculous, ) 10
First-Class Investigation
Considering that U.S. Postal Service revenue has been on a steady decline for several years, you’d think one of America’s largest federal agencies would try to recoup as much as possible when entering into real estate transactions. Not so, argues award-winning investigative journalist (and Bohemian contributor) Peter Byrne. In his new e-book, Going Postal: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s husband sells post offices to his friends, cheap, the Petalumabased reporter uncovers the sordid results of the USPS’s 2011 decision to award an exclusive contract to CBRE, a commercial real estate firm headed by Richard Blum, husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Motivated in part by the U.S. government’s astounding demand that the Postal Service pay $5 billion in employee benefits to cover the next 75 years, the agency has resorted to selling off offices, warehouses, parking lots and vacant land worth millions of dollars. But CBRE is selling some of these properties at “bargain basement” prices, writes Byrne, and sometimes to its own clients and business partners, including Goldman Sachs. (The 52 properties sold have a collective assessed value of $232 million, asserts Byrne, and yet CBRE sold them for $79 million less than what they were worth.) With information backed by expense reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, county records, deeds of sale, property tax databases and assessment data, Byrne has constructed a comprehensive look at the financial shenanigans going on behind the mail curtain. Byrne has gone after Dianne Feinstein and Richard Blum for conflicts of interest in the past, but this is the first time he’s thrown the (e)book at them. Going Postal is available for $2.99 exclusively at Amazon.com. —Leilani Clark

Garment Project ( 8 but to be honest, my number one prevailing thought—and I must have been a little bit crazy at the time—was that I had my dog at home, and there was no one who was going to come let him out.” The man stopped the car and raped Melissa, beating her in the face as she tried to fight back. About a half hour later, she thinks, he shoved her out of the car and peeled away. Shocked and dazed, Melissa’s bloody fingers dialed a friend, who immediately picked her up and rushed her to the hospital. The details of the hospital remain hazy, but she clearly remembers at least two things: they gave her two Power Bars during the more than three-hour exam, and they gave her new underwear, pants, socks, a long-sleeve pajama top and a hoodie sweatshirt. When Melissa’s friend dropped her off at her apartment building, she pulled the hood up and over her face, shielding herself, and walked the rest of the way. Her dog anxiously greeted her. “I can’t imagine leaving the hospital in any other state,” Melissa says. “It would have been horrifying and embarrassing, and I think that if I had been in a position where I had to walk home with my bits hanging out of a hospital gown, that’s the memory that would have stayed with me. And I didn’t have to do that. It’s because someone provided comfortable clothing for me.” That “someone” is San Jose resident Lisa Blanchard, who just one year before Melissa’s attack founded the nonprofit Grateful Garment Project (GGP). In less than three years, the organization has grown from collecting clothes for the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) facility at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center to equipping 20 other California counties, including Sonoma County, where Christine Castillo, executive director of Verity—which provides rape-crisis counseling and support—has been integral in establishing the project. The California Emergency Management Agency reported that in the 2010–2011 fiscal year—
the most recent available data— nearly 30,000 people accessed rape crisis centers statewide. The survivors range in age from infants to senior citizens, and include both females and males. Social workers say the numbers are probably much higher, since sexual assault remains widely underreported due to stigma, shame and victim-blaming. Unlike Melissa’s case, an estimated 75 to 80 percent of victims know their attackers, and there’s sometimes pressure from family and friends to keep quiet. Sexual Assault Response Team centers often run on what Blanchard calls “duct tape and Band-Aid budgets.” Counties are mandated by the state to have a SART facility, and yet the state allots just $45,000 annually to pay for them, according to advocacy agency California Coalition Against Sexual Assault. That amounts to just $775 per county. “It’s really kind of staggering to think that all these organizations had little or no resources to help survivors,” Blanchard says. “The nurses or advocates that support the survivors a lot of times bought stuff out of their own pockets.” In addition to new clothing and prepackaged food, GGP provides books, toys and DVDs for children, privacy screens, and even pieces of exam equipment when older gear breaks down. Sue Barnes, director of the YWCA’s rape crisis center, calls the GGP’s work “phenomenal.” “The clothing is huge, because very often the police have had to take them from the survivor because it is evidence,” Barnes says. Requests regularly come from out-of-state SART centers for information on how Blanchard started GGP and how it operates. She says the focus remains firmly on California for the moment, and she hopes to serve all 58 counties in the future. “I hope she keeps growing and growing,” says Melissa, who has since moved to Michigan to be near family. “I will be forever grateful.” For more information, go to gratefulgarment.org.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT Online harvest exchanges utilize social media for good—i.e., not chucking perfectly fine fruit.
Want Some Figs? Guilty riches, the garden edition
I
t’s 9am on a late summer morning, and Leon and I are out in the backyard woefully examining our garden’s fecund bounty. “Hey, there,” a neighbor calls over the fence. “Want some figs?” We look at each other. We share two thoughts: fresh garden figs, how lovely! And: fresh garden figs, yet another perishable to protect, somehow, from perishing. “Of course!” I muster a fake
BY GRETCHEN GILES
heartiness. “We’d love them.” And of course we would. But we’d particularly love them if we didn’t have our own buncha too much of everything else. And so, when our neighbor comes around the fence with a colander full of sweet green figs just touched with purple blush, the kind of figs that people are paying $7 a basket for right this very minute, I mount a fierce exchange. “What can I give you?” I ask with urgency. “What do you
need? Tomatoes, basil, eggplant, zucchi—” She interrupts apologetically: “I’m going out of town.” “How about some basil?” I press. “You have tomatoes, don’t you? Couldn’t you use some basil?” Not waiting for her response, I rush into the house and grab a pair of scissors. She watches helplessly as I begin to cut tall, fragrant stalks and gather them into an unwieldy bouquet. As I snip, I understand that the basil
loves this kind of pruning and that my unwanted gift will just prompt it to produce more. “Are you sure you don’t need eggplant? Yellow squash? Peppers?” I pant a little bit, breathless with hope. “No,” she answers, backing slowly to the gate with her green bouquet. “I’m. Going. Away,” she repeats, as if I’m crazy or something. Truth is, I am kind of crazy. The weight, the burden, the immense outpouring of certain sections of the garden have made me nuts. I think about women of yore, furiously working in hot summer kitchens to save, catch, preserve and transform their food for the coming winter months. I know that each plum that hits the ground untasted, each blackberry that withers darkly on the vine, is an insult to hungry people everywhere. I am by no means alone in the glory of way too much, which has prompted the welcome new trend of online harvest exchanges. In February 2012, Santa Rosa’s Spring Maxfield began the “Farmers’ Black Market” invite-only exchange group on Facebook, which now has over a thousand members. Items are rarely sold, mostly bartered, and produce is by no means the only type of item up for grabs; a few recent examples include offers of wooden spools, kaffir lime leaves and goats for slaughtering. I read these posts with the rapt fascination of an urban novelist. Six meat goats? Opposed, I suppose, to six milk goats. Should I learn how to slaughter animals? It’s the old-new thing, after all. I wonder what a kaffir tree smells like. What would you do with a box of wooden spools? Still pondering, I wander into the kitchen, where a small cadre of fruit flies now form a short column above the neighbor’s gift of green figs. Shit.

Banshee Wines Cry not over the good dead grape; be keen on Pinot BY JAMES KNIGHT
T
o some, the surprising part of this story is that a few wine country newcomers can grow a 10,000-case brand out of a 500-case lot of wine in less than four years. Even more surprising, they’ve managed to snag a storefront on what surely must be the last remaining block face in Healdsburg that didn’t already have a winetasting room.
Now that the permit has been granted and the lights are on, let’s see what all the wailing’s about. Cofounder Noah Dorrance’s part of the story begins with arriving in San Francisco for a new job at a startup in 2006, but it doesn’t end with a Google buyout and a vineyard mansion (not yet, says the Missouri native, who admits to having the conventional dreams of a starstruck wine country newbie). Two months later, the startup folded. So Dorrance got a production job at Crushpad, later joining up with Baron Ziegler and Steve Graf, whose taste for wine had drafted them into sales and distribution careers. Now, they’ve got a red-hot, fast-growing new brand and a second label, Rickshaw, to boot. The three wanted to create a setting similar to those in which people normally drink wine, so there’s no elbow fest at the wine bar here. Instead, a rough-hewn communal table, corner sofas and modish leather chairs provide a range of approaches to lounging around. Wines are poured by the flight or glass; small bites like lentil hummus and house-baked crackers from SHED will be available as soon as the kitchen gets the all-clear. The interior is a successful look, albeit in flux, because everything’s for sale. A pyramid of wooden crates displays antique odds and ends, while LP records spin on the turntable. There’s something about sitting around and sipping wine, Dorrance says, that puts people in the mood to buy. Including, it is hoped, the wine. The flagship 2011 Sonoma County Pinot Noir ($25) represents half of Banshee’s production. Here comes artisanal plum licorice, dried orange peel and cherry fruit leather—like the rest of the Pinot lineup, it’s a whiff of raspberry and red cherry perfume, largely absent in overt oak, with a not-too-dry, not-too-sweet finish.

sinking fast after a collision with a stray piece of floating debris. Desperate to fix the damage before it’s too late, Redford—with scarcely a word spoken aloud— goes through all the stages of fear, anger and last-minute problem solving in a film that stands as a tribute to the resourcefulness of solitary heroes. A different kind of solo survivor takes the spotlight in Capital (Oct. 4, 6:30pm), a multilingual thriller from legendary Greek director Costa-Gavras, who will be honored in a special onstage tribute after the film. Costarring Gabrielle Byrne as an unscrupulous American investor, the film follows a gleefully greedy but untested bank CEO (Gad Elmaleh) as he discovers he’s been set up to fail as the patsy in a major bank-industry power play. “I think it’s a Zeitgeist thing,” observes Elton. “I was speaking with director Steve McQueen about this, the way that certain events in the world give rise to art that takes a look at our condition. There are a number of films out in theaters now that deal with the subject of race, and perhaps that’s part of our examining ourselves after finally electing an AfricanAmerican president.” One extremely high-profile film, dealing deals with race and the issues of solitary survival, is British director McQueen’s critically acclaimed 12 Years a Slave, which recently took the top prize at the Toronto International Film Festival, the winner of which often goes on to win the Oscar for Best Picture. Based on the horrific but lyrical memoir of Solomon Northup, an accomplished violinist in New York City who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana in 1841, 12 Years a Slave (Oct. 11, 6:30pm) shows a man (Chiwetel Ejiofor of Kinky Boots) prized for his intellect, who now finds intellect no match for the brutal reality of slavery. “It’s that solo theme, certainly,” notes Elton. “There is something powerful about the power of the individual and what they embody
when pitted against impossible odds. What I’m also noticing is that in several films, we are seeing people dealing with the most aberrant aspects of what human beings can do to one another.” A number of this year’s most buzzed-about films take place in Germany during the start of WWII, beginning with the openingnight film The Book Thief (Oct. 3, 7pm), about a young girl (Sophie Nélisse) who frequently finds herself alone amid nightmarish realities, and steals books as a way of asserting her own identity. The film features a major performance by Geoffrey Rush, who will be honored in-person on opening night with a special award. Similarly, the multi-part Generation War (full program, Oct. 6, 5pm; parts 1–3, Oct. 7, 8 and 9, respectively, 12:30pm each day) originally made for German television, looks at isolation in a time of crisis as five friends in 1941 go off to war, each taking his or her own solitary path, with tragic and emotionally powerful consequences. Then there’s Rithy Panh’s extraordinary Missing Picture (Oct. 12, 4:45pm, and Oct. 14, 5:30pm), in which the ingenious Cambodian filmmaker illustrates how he survived during the Pol Pot regime—telling the story through carved wooden figurines. “With all of these films,” says Elton, “the compassionate view of the filmmaker is the thing that makes us deeply connect with those people onscreen, people who are forced to stand alone against impossible odds. That’s the difference between great filmmaking and poor filmmaking—the ability to engage the heart and the head, to connect us intimately to people who are outside our normal experience and to find those little similarities. “In the end, of course, everyone can identify with being alone,” Elton adds. “The best films make us realize that, in an odd way, we aren’t alone in being alone at all.” The Mill Valley Film Festival runs Oct. 3–13 at various venues around Marin County.

he climax of the new Metallica movie Metallica: Through the Never involves a boy vomiting, a fleet-footed CGI figure, a violent horseman in a gasmask, a man on fire, and the near-total destruction, via sledgehammer, of the band’s stage set. Amid shooting sparks and mechanical groans of steel, James Hetfield approaches the mic. “Should we keep playing?” he says. “That’s what I wanna do. Let’s get some amps up here, we don’t need all this fancy stuff anyway, right?” After a spare backline is constructed, Hetfield adds, “This is what it’s like in our garage.” Getting back to the garage is a running theme in the band’s career, going back to the 1987 EP Garage Days Re-Revisited. But Metallica is the world’s biggest metal band, and Through the Never is a big, overblown 3D experience. How can the members still appear like normal guys? In an onstage Q&A after a screening last week at the Mill Valley Film Festival—the U.S. public premiere—the band answered that question in action. Lars Ulrich slouched low into his chair. James Hetfield joked about trying to get his car into the film. Kirk Hammett said that, while shooting, he was just concerned
about getting blood on his boots. Through the Never is a concert film with an extra plot added, but what that plot is, exactly, audience members at the screening tried to grasp: What is inside the bag? What does the main character represent? Answers fell into one of two categories: the “We thought it looked cool” explanation and the more maddening “It’s whatever you want it to be, man” explanation. Asked why the film is named Through the Never—the title of one of Metallica’s songs—Hetfield responded that “it’s nice and vague. It can mean multiple things. How do you describe that? How do you describe what you just saw? I don’t know.” Ulrich chimed in, inadvertently summarizing the film: “We mined our catalogue for the most ambiguous title possible for the most ambiguous movie possible.” Ulrich himself is a familiar face at the Mill Valley Film Festival, and the band’s decision to premiere the movie here is a laudable nod to the festival’s stature and their hometown roots. But amid all the joking on stage, Ulrich couldn’t contain himself. “I’m just thinking about all the deep intellectual conversations about film that have happened on this stage over the years,” he said, looking out over the Rafael Film Center, “and how that seems like a distant memory now.” Drew Altizer

Cantaloupe Island It’s the mark of a fine musician to be able to span decades and remain relevant. While an entire generation of turntable DJs grew up on Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit,” with its industrial beats and extended scratch outro, their parents were vibing out to the visionary pianist’s classic Blue Note albums like Empyrean Isles and Maiden Voyage (not to forget the big siblings in the club, dancing to acid-jazz samples of “Chameleon”). These days, Hancock’s live set is adventurous as ever, evidenced by a version of “Watermelon Man” in 17/8 time. Alternating between piano, synthesizer, vocoder and keytar, the jazz master plays “Plugged In: A Night of Solo Explorations” on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Green Music Center. 1801 E.

Old-Timey Mania If you’ve got one of those friends who still clings to his manual typewriter and Polaroid Land Camera, who extols the virtues of rotary phones and rub-on lettering, who distrusts anything made past 1978 and loudly proclaims so, have we got the gift for him: Michael Hurley’s 1984 album Blue Navigator, reissued in 2010 on 8-track! We’re not kidding! Nor are we kidding when we report that the initial pressing of 50 sold out, and one later sold on eBay for $46! It’s official, folks: the old-timey trend has reached “drooling weirdo” levels. Hurley, an avid 8-track fan and underground cult-folk hero, plays Thursday, Sept. 26, at Sweetwater Music Hall. 19 Corte Madera Ave., Mill Valley. 8pm. $22–$35. 415.388.3850.

Oh God! From Michael Stipe and Woody Allen to Bill Maher and David Bazan, there exists a long line of art borne from men wrestling with their religious upbringing. Three years ago, ‘Wretch Like Me,’ the one-man show written and performed by Bohemian theater critic David Templeton, did this very thing with an added bonus: laughter. Now, in an updated revision, Templeton’s story about coming of age as a fundamentalist puppeteer with an overly devoted (to the Lord) girlfriend returns. Brush up on your New Testament verses and hark back to the weird world of the 1970s in two shows, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28 and 29, at the Occidental Center of the Arts. 3850 Doris Murphy Court, Occidental. 4pm. $10. 707.874.9392.

Stage Fright It starts with an electrical failure. The lighting buzzes, there’s a couple flashes, and then the camera finally opens on the Winterland stage. It’s The Last Waltz, the star-studded, Scorsesedirected documentary of the Band’s “last show” that would go on to cause short-circuits among band members while appearing on lists of the Greatest Rock Concert Films of All Time. Backstage, arguments ensued and cocaine was plentiful (a bit of the white stuff on Neil Young’s nostril was famously edited out), but the music remains incredible. In a partnership with KRCB and the Last Record Store, Summerfield Cinemas screens the film on Thursday, Sept. 26, at Summerfield Cinemas. 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $7–$10. 707.522.0719.

Sonoma County Museum partners with SFMOMA for ‘Photography in Mexico’ BY NICOLAS GRIZZLE
T
he San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is temporarily closed, and that’s good news for the Sonoma County Museum—it allows, for the first time, a collection of photographs from SFMOMA to appear north of the Golden Gate. The exhibit, “Photography in Mexico,” opening Saturday, Sept. 28, previously displayed at SFMOMA two years ago. In
San Francisco, the number of photographs was staggering, but SFMOMA photography curator Corey Kelley says she’s going to hang most of the exhibit in the smaller Sonoma County Museum. Arranged chronologically, the exhibit begins with Edward Weston’s work from Mexico in the 1920s. “I always loved the Westons, because he comes in with a foreigner’s eye to look at this culture that’s unfamiliar but really inspiring to him,” says Keller. “He so appreciates the shapes that were already there.”
From that time, photographers in Mexico started to embrace their own style. “There had been very painterly and pictorials before that, and so the direction of Mexican photography changed,” says Keller. “What the Mexicans really did is took the formal lesson, but they added the political aspect to it. The pictures really marry the aesthetics and the politics.” Mostly in black and white, some of the images show famous subjects like painters Frida Kahlo and José Orozco, and Rodrigo
Moya’s iconic photo of Che Guevara, but most are shots of everyday life. The 1979 photograph “Our Lady of the Iguana,” shows a Zapotec woman from southeastern Mexico with a crown of live lizards, and recent work in color shows the rolling hills of Mexico City covered with houses far as the eye can see. The diversity of the exhibit combines rural and urban, old world and new realities, young spirits and old souls, all from one country and almost entirely through the eyes of its own people. When SFMOMA reopens, it will be almost three times its former size, taking up an entire city block and rising to seven stories. As if taking a cue from its well-funded cousin, the Sonoma County Museum is also expanding. After abandoning plans to move into the long-delayed development at the former AT&T building in downtown Santa Rosa, the museum will expand into the old Conklin Brothers building next door, which it owns. “I think this is a better building,” says Sonoma County Museum executive director Diane Evans. “The space we were going to have there had a lot of challenges, and it was actually smaller.” When construction is complete, the current museum will house historical exhibits, with the new space dedicated to art. Beginning in December, the large warehouse space will house monthly pop-up art nights, for which the museum is currently accepting applications, promising a stipend and staff in exchange for ideas, organizing and, of course, art. (Applications can be accessed at sonomacountymuseum.org.) “There are a lot of creative people in this community,” explains Evans, “who maybe don’t have a venue to try something experimental.” ‘Photography in Mexico’ opens with a reception Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Sonoma County Museum. 425 Seventh St., Santa Rosa. 6pm. $7. 707.579.1500.

At Sixth Street Playhouse, where director Craig Miller has staged a spirited production of the original 1973 stage musical (on which the movie was based), “call outs” from the audience are not only tolerated, they are encouraged. On the Sixth Street website, there’s even a link to the “official” call-and-response script.

Stage
Studio Theater (too dangerous for the actors), the cast is prepared to hear experienced Rocky followers shouting “Asshole!” and “Slut!” whenever stiff Brad (Braedyn Youngberg) and virginal Janet (Julianne Lorenzen) are named, and to cry “Say it!” when the sexually omnivorous Dr. Frank N. Furter (Rob Broadhurst)—to whose castle the wide-eyed newlyweds are lured—pauses with “antici . . . pation!” in the middle of a word. Such frat-party behavior might normally get one ejected from a theater. Here, such actions will win applause and admiration, and fans who show up in costume (also encouraged) might even win a prize at intermission. As with the film, which was crucified by critics but was embraced by fans anyway, it seems a bit beside the point to even attempt a traditional review of Sixth Street’s Rocky Horror Picture Show. The story is thin, the characters thinner, the logic of the “plot” is spotty at best, and what passes for a climax seems tossed together and disappointingly anti-climactic. But the songs by Richard O’Brien, who also wrote the script, still rock with silly, limit-pushing exuberance; the three-quarterthrust staging in the studio works quite well in bringing the audience close to the action; the cast tackles the show with a fresh sense of canyou-believe-we’re-actually-doingthis exhibitionism; and Miller’s direction emphasizes the joyful deviance of the whole undertaking. Cast highlights include Broadhurst and Lorenzen (both dazzlingly bold), a strong-voiced Shannon Rider as Magenta and Jake Turner as a peppy Riff Raff. The only real way to judge this Rocky Horror is by the contagiousness of the actors’ freedom-savoring fun, and despite some opening-night reserve in spots, it’s here in great supply. Rating (out of 5): ++++

OFF THE MISSION Jonathan Groff, left, plays a young David Sedaris in ‘C.O.G.’
Jesus Wept
David Sedaris film adaptation misses Sedaris’ voice BY RACHEL DOVEY
I
n his essay “C.O.G.” (“Child of God”), David Sedaris muses about a group of born-again Christians: “There seemed to be some correlation between devotion to God and a misguided zeal for marshmallows.” Unfortunately, in the film adaptation of the same name, such wry observations are nowhere to be found. Screenwriter Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s C.O.G. contains no narration, only dialogue, which almost works with Glee’s Jonathan Groff portraying the memoirist’s arrogant younger self. But without the humorist’s narrative overlay, C.O.G. feels jarringly a-Sedaris—mostly because it’s just not funny. Young David has just finished grad school, so he boards a bus for rural Oregon, determined to find his inner Steinbeck. But the misty West is less idyllic than he’d hoped, and between an ex-con who mocks him for reading, a factory worker displaying dozens of dildos in a case and a caustic vet who hands out Jesus pamphlets and carves wall clocks shaped like Oregon, David whirls between crazies like a drunk with vertigo. All is fodder for comedy in Sedaris’ dark, self-lacerating essay, but not in the film. Without the author’s voice, it becomes pure plot—and the plot of this little story is tragic. Dildo man tries to rape him. He escapes in a woman’s bathrobe. He moves in with the vet, attends a tearful altar call and is then disowned by the congregation he comes to love for being gay. Coupled with a moody soundtrack and lingering shots of the Northwestern countryside, C.O.G. is a quiet meditation on many important themes: gender, sexuality, religion. And with his nuanced portrayal of a conflicted, lonely twenty-something, Groff lends even more gravity to the film. But there’s so much darkness, it’s hard not to miss that signature Sedaris tone—the one laughing when his own mother cruelly mocks his crippling OCD. It’s a voice that reminds you that you can laugh, too—and in fact, to stay sane, you must. ‘C.O.G.’ is playing through Sept. 26 at the Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, and opens Friday, Sept. 27 at Rialto Cinemas in Sebastopol..
BEAT REPEAT Originally, Billy Cobham didn’t believe ‘Spectrum’ even charted.
Full ‘Spectrum’ Billy Cobham revisits fusion masterpiece BY NICOLAS GRIZZLE
J
azz fusion is experienced on many levels. There’s the Van Halen level (it just plain rocks, and is met with a scrunched “Oh yeah� face), the Rush level (technical ability drops jaws and bulges eyes) and the John Coltrane level (arrangements and chord progressions so out-of-thisworld they warrant an aural double take).
Billy Cobham’s 1973 fusion masterpiece, Spectrum, hits on all of these, and adds a groove. The result is an album full of odd time signatures, ripping guitar solos and impressionistic synthesizer sounds with some of the most powerful, technical and musically grounded drumming ever heard. The album’s best song, “Stratus,â€? features a solid drum groove until the end, when Cobham cuts loose with insane ďŹ lls in perfect time for

Music
what seems like an eternity—and, since the song fades out, it might have been quite longer. The funny thing is that Cobham, who comes to Napa’s Uptown Theatre on Sept. 27, didn’t set out to make a record like that in the slightest. “I made that record so that I could hand it out to suitors close to New York City, where I was living at the time, to try to get a gig on the weekends, like a wedding or whatever,â€? says the celebrated drummer via phone from Florida, the night before kicking off Spectrum’s 40th anniversary tour. When people told him it had made the Billboard charts, he didn’t believe them. After all, when Spectrum was released (recorded on a $30,000 budget, start to ďŹ nish) the No. 1 song in the country belonged to Cher—and, not long after, the Carpenters. So how did an album that was so far out there become one of the most celebrated and critically acclaimed fusion releases of all time? “People saw there was a possibility to combine the complex with the banal, to some degree, and come up with something very positive,â€? says Cobham. It was, perhaps, the shock of simplicity in a genre known for complexity that took hold of listeners. Cobham, whose intricate, powerhouse drumming propelled the chaotic world of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, lays down tight grooves on Spectrum, but the album also shows off his ďŹ erce chops with numerous drum solos. It displays, as Cobham puts it, “two separate personalities in one project.â€? Cobham has taught music in Napa through an online music school, and has visited several times, but this week’s show marks his ďŹ rst performance in the North Bay. “I’m looking forward to this,â€? he says. Cobham adds that his feat isn’t otherworldly. “What I’ve done can easily be done by anyone else,â€? he says. “People are people, and I’m just a person. We all have it in us.â€?

“I do a lot of rock shows, and I wanted to find local rock bands that were all-female,� says Ward, who put out a Facebook call for all-women rock bands in the North Bay that didn’t result in many leads. Undaunted, Ward worked with the Arlene Francis Foundation and CMedia to put together a lineup of live music from the She’s (sunny garage-pop from San Francisco teens, pictured above), the Wild Ones, Ashley Allred of Odd Bird and Slinky Minx. Local women artists Sara Davis, Julia Davis, Kaija Sabbah and others are creating new Pussy Riot and feminist-inspired art to be featured in a gallery setting. Speakers include Elaine Holtz, longtime host of Women’s Spaces, and information on the Free Pussy Riot cause will be readily available. Ward has high hopes of inspiring more women to take up instruments and start a damn band already. “I’m hoping that women who come to this show will think, wow, this could be a whole scene and maybe it’ll grow from there.� The Free Pussy Riot Women’s Art Gallery and Music Showcase happens on Monday, Sept. 30, at the Arlene Francis Center. 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa. 6–10:30pm. $7 (no one turned away for lack of funds). 707.528.3009.—Leilani Clark

Astrology
BY ROB BREZSNY
For the week of September 25
ARIES (March 21–April 19) I’ve got a good feeling about your relationship with intimacy in the coming weeks. Judging from the astrological omens, I think you will have a good instinct about how to drum up interesting fun with your most important allies. You’ll just naturally know what to do to make your collaborative efforts synergistic. So by all means cash in on this potential. Don’t just sit back and hope for the best; rather, call on your imagination to provide you with original ideas about how to make it all happen. TAURUS (April 20–May 20)
Would you be willing to go to extraordinary lengths to transform aspects of your life that you have felt are hard to transform? Now would be a good time to do that. Luck will ow your way if you work on healing your number one wound. Unexpected help and inspiration will appear if you administer tough love to any part of you that’s addicted, immature or unconscious. Barriers will crumple if you brainstorm about new ways to satisfy your frustrated yearnings.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20)
I bet your normal paranoia levels will decline in the coming weeks. Fears you take for granted won’t make nearly as much sense as they usually seem to. As a result, you’ll be tempted to wriggle free from your defense mechanisms. Useful ideas that your mind has been closed to may suddenly tantalize your curiosity. I won’t be surprised if you start tuning into catalysts that had previously been invisible to you. But here are my questions: Can you deal with losing the motivational force that fear gives you? Will you be able to get inspired by grace and pleasure rather than anxiety and agitation? I advise you to work hard on raising your trust levels.
CANCER (June 21–July 22)
“Sometimes people have nothing to say because they’re too empty,� writes author Yasmin Mogahed, “and sometimes people have nothing to say because they’re too full.� By my reckoning, Cancerian, you will soon be in the latter category. A big silence is settling over you as new amusements and amazements rise up within you. It will be understandable if you feel reluctant to blab about them. They need more time to ripen. You should trust your impulse to remain a secret and a mystery for a while.
LEO (July 23–August 22) “Insight is not a light bulb that goes off inside our heads,â€? says author Malcolm Gladwell. “It is a ickering candle that can easily be snuffed out.â€? Take that as a constructive warning, Leo. On the one hand, I believe you will soon glimpse quite a few new understandings of how the world works and what you could do to make it serve you better. On the other hand, you’ve got to be extra alert for these new understandings and committed to capturing them the moment they pop up. Articulate them immediately. If you’re alone, talk to yourself about them. Maybe even write them down. Don’t just assume you will be able to remember them perfectly later when it’s more convenient. VIRGO (August 23–September 22) After a storm, British wildlife lover Gary Zammit found a baby heron cowering in a broken nest. Its parents were dead. Zammit took the orphan under his wing. He named it Dude, and cared for it as it grew. Eventually, he realized that Dude was never going to learn to y unless he intervened. Filling his pockets full of the food that Dude loved, Zammit launched a series of ying lessons—waving his arms and squawking as he ran along a at meadow that served as a runway. Dude imitated his human dad, and soon mastered the art of ight. Can you see ways in which this story might have metaphorical resemblances to your own life, Virgo? I think it does. It’s time for your mind to teach your body an instinctual skill or self-care habit that it has never quite gotten right. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) For four days twice a year, the East China Sea recedes to create a narrow strip of land between two Korean islands, Jindo and Modo. People celebrate the Sea-Parting Festival by strolling back and forth along the temporary path. The phenomenon has been called the “Korean version of Moses’ miracle,â€? although it’s more reasonably explained by the action of the tides. I foresee some
sweet marvel akin to this one occurring in your life very soon, Libra. Be ready to take advantage of a special dispensation.
SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) The desire for revenge is a favorite theme of the entertainment industry. It’s presented as being glamorous and stirring and even noble. How many action ďŹ lms build their plots around the hero seeking payback against his enemies? Personally, I see revenge as one of the top three worst emotions. In real life, it rarely has redeeming value. People who actively express it often wreak pain and ruin on both others and themselves. Even those who merely stew in it may wound themselves by doing so. I bring this up, Scorpio, because now is an excellent time for you to shed desires for revenge. Dissolve them, get rid of them, talk yourself out of indulging in them. The reward for doing so will be a great liberation.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) Just for a few days, would you be willing to put your attention on the needs of others more than on your own? The weird thing is, your selďŹ sh interests will be best served by being as unselďŹ sh and empathetic and compassionate as you can stand to be. I don’t mean that you should allow yourself to be abused or taken advantage of. Your task is to express an abundance of creative generosity as you bestow your unique blessings in ways that make you feel powerful. In the words of theologian Frederick Buechner, you should go “to the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.â€?
CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Imagine a scenario like this: the CEOs of ďŹ ve crazily rich U.S. corporations, including a major defense contractor, stage a press conference to announce that in the future they will turn down the massive welfare beneďŹ ts and tax breaks the federal government has been doling out to them all these years. Now picture this: the Pope issues a statement declaring that since Jesus Christ never had a single bad word to say about homosexuals, the Catholic Church is withdrawing its resistance to gay rights. I am envisioning a comparable reversal in your life, Capricorn—a ip-op that seems equally improbable. But unlike the two I named, yours will actually unfold in the course of the next eight months. If it hasn’t already started yet, it will soon. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18)
Matteo Ricci was an Italian Jesuit priest who lived from 1552 to 1610. For his last 28 years, he worked as a missionary in China. Corresponding with his friends and family back home required a lot of patience. News traveled very slowly. Whenever he sent out a letter, he was aware that there’d be no response for seven years. What would you express about your life right now if you knew your dear ones wouldn’t learn of it until 2017? Imagine describing to them in an old-fashioned letter what your plans will be between now and then . . . what you hope to accomplish and how you will transform yourself. Right now is an excellent time to take inventory of your long-term future.
PISCES (February 19–March 20) The cosmos is granting you a poetic license to practice the art of apodyopsis with great relish. You know what apodyopsis is, right? It refers to the act of envisioning people naked—mentally undressing them so as to picture them in their raw state. So, yes, by all means, Pisces, enjoy this creative use of your imagination without apology. It should generate many ďŹ ne ramiďŹ cations. For instance, it will prime you to penetrate beneath the surface of things. It will encourage you to see through everyone’s social masks and tune in to what’s really going on in their depths. You need to do that right now. Go to REALASTROLOGY.COM to check out Rob Brezsny’s Expanded Weekly Audio Horoscopes and Daily Text Message Horoscopes.
