Woe is us The fallacy of paying neverending wage hikes to attract the ‘best talent,’ or ‘comparable’ salaries measured against other agencies, is an outright scam.

The Supervisors keep riding this escalator to eventual bankruptcy as if hypnotized by the rarified air of

their newly remodeled chambers.

‘The right vibe’ I met Mr. Coyote three times— once randomly on the street in San Francisco—and was blown away by his kindness and generosity in conversation [‘Looking back and moving on,’ April 24]. Not knowing me from Adam, he introduced me to his family, including his amazing granddaughter and they were as beautiful and cordial as he is.

I didn’t know about his Buddhist beliefs until seeing him at a recent book signing; but that totally speaks to his gentle way and openness to strangers. He is a brilliant writer and an inspirational human being. I’m sorry to read he no longer resides in Marin. I certainly understand his need to be where he feels the right vibe. Bravo to Peter Coyote for taking his genius to the next level and remaining dedicated to improving the lives of others.

Did Bethany Ojalvo also find it not “amusing” when the Pacifics brought in a woman pitcher recently [Hero & Zero, Aug. 12]?

That might have been a first. Might kids take that message even more seriously than a T-shirt slogan?

What about the two women who just passed the Army Rangers training—first ever? Would she think them heroic for crying in public? How would they respond to her?

Showing emotion in public does not make one a hero: It’s just what people do.

A Zero is trying to paste one’s biases on the “model for our next generation of men”–or women, or anybody else.

Warmer seawater temperatures can create dangerous toxins in shellfish.

The rising

The effect of warmer water on oysters, red tides and other toxic algal blooms By Kathleen Willett

E

very summer, recreational oyster and shellfish harvesters brace themselves for the period from May until the end of October when red tides prohibit the recreational harvesting of shellfish from coastal waters all along the California coast.

Meanwhile, intrepid kayakers eagerly plan moonless night paddles to view the spectacular marine

bioluminescence during the same period. It turns out that the same family of algae is responsible for both phenomena.

Red tides, or Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs, as scientists prefer to call them,) occur when colonies of phytoplankton, a form of algae, “bloom” or begin reproducing so rapidly, the result is millions of cells per gallon of water. As the name implies, the bloom often turns the

water red as a result of the pigment present in each algal cell for sunlight capture, which is necessary for cell growth.

Phytoplankton is present in ocean waters throughout the year, but blooms occur only when ocean temperatures and salinity are favorable, usually in the months of May through October on the northern California coast.

But that may be changing.

The Pacific Ocean is a vast body of water with a relatively constant temperature that moderates climate and has provided a stable habitat for marine life for millennia. Could the ocean along the Marin and Sonoma coasts actually be getting warmer as the climate change believers would have us think? And if so, does warmer water have an effect on the red tides?

According to the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory, the seawater along the Sonoma and Marin coasts is getting warmer. The Bodega Ocean Observing Node, or BOON, is a coastal ocean observing system centered at the Bodega Marine Lab. It has been tracking ocean temperatures along our coast for decades.

Ocean temperature at the Bodega Marine Lab in late August, 1988, as reported on the BOON website, was 58.1 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature has trended upward ever since. At the same location and the same time of year—August 30, 2015—the temperature was 61.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

A 3.7-degree gain is significant and troubling. In warmer waters, algal blooms will begin sooner and persist longer, and with this longer growing season, the blooms may begin to produce biochemicals not previously seen.

Dinoflagellates, the type of singlecelled phytoplankton responsible for the amazing bioluminescence that the kayakers hope to see, also produce a biotoxin called saxitoxin, which has been the primary concern during red tide season.

Saxitoxin accumulates in filter feeders such as mussels, oysters and other shellfish. Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP), which can be fatal to humans as well as marine life, is caused by ingestion of saxitoxin.

According to the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Public Health, saxitoxin is 1,000 times more potent than cyanide. And PSP toxins are not destroyed by heating or freezing, so cooking contaminated shellfish does not make it safe to eat.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) ensures with thorough, regular testing that all commercially available oysters and other shellfish are safe for human consumption year-round. But recreationally harvested oysters and shellfish can be very high-risk.

Historically, PSP was the problem during red tide season.

and the same warning will be issued here as well.”

There may also be a third biotoxin, previously not present in significant concentrations on the north coast. Dr. Raphael Kudela, professor of Ocean Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, studies phytoplankton ecology. According to Dr. Kudela, “Okadaic acid, which causes Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSH), may become a problem as our coastal waters continue warming and we begin to see more temperature gradient stratification.”

Produced by several species of dinoflagellates, okadaic acid also accumulates in shellfish.

With warmer ocean temperatures, algal blooms will occur earlier and persist longer.

Is it possible that red tides could last all year on the north coast? Will there be a recreational shellfish harvest on the Marin and Sonoma coasts in 20 years—or even in 10 years if ocean temperatures continue to climb?

And then there is the commercial oyster industry here in Tomales Bay. One wonders how the commercial oyster industry—already grappling with the serious onslaught to their industry that ocean acidification presents—will cope with the potential increased temperatures and presence of multiple biotoxins in the coastal ocean environment.

As one climatologist put it, “This may be a dress rehearsal for climate change.”Y

Q A

Why are auto body repairs SO EXPENSIVE?

The average person has a collision every 7 years. Just like all things, prices go up, both for the parts and for the cost of labor. Even though mechanical repair labor rates are in the $130 + range, auto body labor rates are constricted by insurance companies and hover around $95 per hour. The average repair is $2300 and takes a week in the shop. A simple bumper job is in the $1000 range. Be sure you can afford your insurance deductible so that you are not caught by surprise!

Q A

What is PDR?

This acronym stands for Paintless Dent Removal.

On some minor dents, hail damage, and balls bouncing on vehicles, where the paint is not damaged, specialists in this technique are able to ‘massage’ the dent out from the back side of the panel using tools designed to smooth out the dent without damaging the paint. PDR can save hundreds of dollars in repair cost, if applicable.

But in 1998, the Marine Mammal Center in Marin County diagnosed the first case of domoic acid poisoning in marine mammals.

Sentinels for potentially dangerous environmental changes in the ocean environment, sick and stranded marine mammals warn us of changing ocean conditions.

Domoic acid is a biotoxin produced by diatoms, another type of single-celled algae which blooms as seawater warms. Domoic acid causes Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) as it accumulates in shellfish, sardines and anchovies—which may then be eaten by larger marine mammals.

On August 26, 2015, the CDPH issued a warning to consumers in Humboldt and Del Norte counties not to eat bivalve shellfish due to detection of dangerous levels of domoic acid. The same warning is already in place for Santa Cruz, Monterey and Santa Barbara counties. According to Dr. John Largier, Professor of Coastal Oceanography at the Bodega Marine Lab, it is very possible that the same warning may be issued for Marin and Sonoma counties in the next month or so.

“The Mendocino, Sonoma and Marin county coastal waters will become warmer in the next few weeks to a month as our cool ocean upwelling system weakens,” says Dr. Largier, “and it is very likely that the diatoms will then begin to bloom

The Ramones were one of the original groups that helped to launch the punk rock movement in New York in the ’70s.

‘Kill Me’ now

Two decades after Legs McNeil’s and Gillian McCain’s seminal book on punk rock appeared, its impact still resonates By Steve Palopoli

I

n much the same way that punk was a musical revolution, the definitive book about punk was a literary one. With its modernization of the oral history tradition—telling its 424-page story entirely in a string of quotes that form a solid, winding narrative—Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk revolutionized both the book industry and the way we think about storytelling when it was published in 1996.

Despite its gritty, grimy subject matter (or, more accurately, because of it), Please Kill Me was sublimely elegant in the way it matched form to content. Finally, here was a book about punk that reflected the actual spirit of the movement by representing its subjects’ words as directly as possible, with a minimum of filters or interference from the authors. It took nonfiction back to its primal urges.

Perhaps the book’s mix of iconoclasm and literary ambition makes sense considering it was co-authored by two writers with very different backgrounds, but a surprising like-mindedness. One, Legs McNeil, is the man some credit with giving punk music its name in the first place, when he founded Punk magazine in 1975.

He started it with cartoonist John Holmstrom and publisher Ged Dunn, and together they provided a fledgling New York scene led by the Ramones, Patti Smith and Richard Hell (and eventually also British bands like the Sex Pistols) with a unifying concept. His co-author, Gillian McCain, was the program coordinator of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church—famed for its connections to Smith, Jim Carroll, William Burroughs and other punk poets beginning in the 1970s—from 1991 to 1995, roughly the same time that they worked on Please Kill Me. After hundreds of interviews with everyone from icons like the late Lou Reed and Iggy Pop to lesser-known scene stealers like former “company freak” record exec Danny Fields and filmmaker Bob Gruen, the result was

the bestselling book ever about punk music, which has been published in 15 languages around the world.

Now, as Grove Atlantic prepares the 20th-anniversary edition of Please Kill Me, the book sits side by side with the dozens of imitators it has spawned, everything from similarly focused music books like We Got the Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of L.A. Punk; Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music; and Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal to generalpop-culture megahits like Live from New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live by Tom Shales and Andrew James Miller, and their follow-up Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN (about which a fictionalized major film adaptation was recently »12

announced). The oral history craze has reached such a fever pitch—and, perhaps, level of absurdity—that the July issue of Vanity Fair features the “definitive oral history” of the movie Clueless.

So why isn’t Legs McNeil proud of blazing a trail for this new wave of 21st century oral histories?

“They sucked,” says McNeil by phone from L.A., where he and McCain are working on a new oral history book about the ’60s rock scene there. “I wish someone would do a good oral history. At least as good as Please Kill Me, you know?”

McCain, on the same phone call, is more diplomatic. “When I look at just the punk books that have come out as oral histories, not even oral history music books, I think there’s a hundred, literally. It’s just unbelievable,” she says. “So Legs may not be proud that we were the trailblazers, but I am.”

between two people talking. ‘And then so and so went to blah blah blah.’ To me, that’s cheating.”

McNeil says the demanding structure of oral histories is what makes them so easy to screw up.

With no exposition to support them, the quotes have to weave a tight narrative.

“They’re really difficult,” he says.

“Oral histories are like rock and roll itself—very, very fascistic and anal. Seriously. Once you break the formula, no matter what you’ve done up till that point, the whole thing falls apart. It’s not like you can make a mistake. You know, like in memoirs there are shitty chapters where the guy goes off on his cat or his mother or something, and you go with that because it's going to get good again. But in an oral history you can’t have that, because it’ll collapse.”

Please Kill Me established a blueprint for understanding the punk movement that has been followed by almost every book since, with the Velvet Underground

McNeil’s stance may sound like punk posturing, but actually the pair adhered to some strict rules while doing Please Kill Me that later imitators have often ignored, usually to their detriment.

“We refuse to cheat,” says McCain, “where we’d have a piece of prose in

Iggy Pop (left) and Lou Reed were famous for being outrageous in the height of the punk rock era.

as the first real protopunk band, and Lou Reed as the godfather of punk.

While the Velvets were already widely accepted as punk progenitors by the ’90s (with no small amount of credit going to the 1990 cover album Heaven & Hell: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground, which kicked off the tribute record craze), the actual story of how punk evolved from band to band through New York and Detroit had never really been told.

But the book’s framing device—beginning with the Velvet Underground starting out in Andy Warhol's Factory scene, and ending with the band’s reunion in 1992— was something that developed over time. Finding such a framework was key, since the origins of punk could be said to stretch all the way back to the beginning of rock itself; just look at how the Sex Pistols worshipped Eddie Cochran, or how the Cramps covered the Johnny Burnette Trio and the Count Five.

“It wasn’t easy, because we started interviewing people from [’60s garage band]? and the Mysterians,” says McCain. “So we weren’t sure we weren’t going to go that avenue, but it ended up we didn’t.

There’s so many garage bands.

And the people around the Velvet Underground were in the narrative later, so they were part of this intertwining—with Iggy, and Lou on the cover of Punk magazine. But with the garage bands, there was no interconnectedness.”

“What we did in Please Kill Me was we showed the linkage from the Velvet Underground to the Stooges,” says McNeil. “Nico moves in with Iggy, John Cale produces Iggy’s first

album. We kind of mapped it all out, and every punk book has taken that formula. And no one has ever said, ‘Hey, thanks for connecting the dots!’”

“I think a lot of people give us credit,” counters McCain. “Often in the acknowledgements, they’ll say, ‘We want to thank Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain for turning us on to this format.’”

“Well,” grumbles McNeil, “maybe they should have bought us dinner.”

Scrap Meddle The dynamic between McCain and McNeil is a fascinating one.

One of McCain’s earliest memories of meeting McNeil speaks volumes about their dynamic.

“We had a mutual friend, and she said, ‘I'm going over to Legs’ to watch a movie.’ And we became friends. He lived on St. Mark's and First [Avenue], and I was working at the Poetry Project at Second Avenue and 10th, so he'd drop by the office,” she recalls. “He’d come to readings and really drive me nuts, because during a poetry reading he’d be standing at the back, and whenever he’d move the least little bit, his leather jacket would creak.

It just drove me insane. That’s how we met.”

“It was a doomed relationship,” says McNeil drily. “She does a great imitation of me coming to the Poetry Project. I’d go, ‘Let’s go out for a cigarette,’ and then I'd split. I was always embarrassing her.”

Disagreements over who and what would make it into the book could be contentious, but McCain says McNeil was able »14 to make tough editing

‘Kill Me’ Now «13 decisions that she couldn’t bear.

“Legs really forced me to edit,” she says. “At first I was like, ‘No, I want to put in Ed Sanders learning semiotics at grad school at NYU.’ And he was like, ‘No.’ ‘But it’s so good!’ ‘No.’” “Gillian and I argue a lot,” says McNeil. “If Gillian really sticks to her guns, then I have to scratch my head and go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute . . . ’ I’m pretty forceful, and I have a pretty strong personality. But Gillian seems to be able to cut through the bullshit.”

For all of their differences, he’s surprised at how much they think alike, which comes out especially when they do interviews together.

“We always look at each other knowingly,” says McNeil. Also, we never use notes, which is really weird.

The person stops talking, and we both come in at the same time with the same question. That happens about 85 percent of the time.”

“That’s true,” says McCain. “I think that’s something that makes people comfortable, that we don’t bring in notes. We just have conversations with them. Sometimes I have a few notes on a Post-it that I put in my pocket, and when I go to the bathroom, I look at it.”

“I always lose my scrap of paper,” McNeil says. “But since I’ve written it down, I know what it is.”

McCain credits McNeil with eliciting many of the stories that made Please Kill Me both shock and amuse. The book is full of them: Nico giving Iggy Pop his first STD. Billy Murcia of the New York Dolls choking to death in a flat in London while partygoers around him flee.

Dee Dee Ramone writing “Chinese Rock” out of spite toward Richard Hell, but then giving Hell a cowriting credit for it because he wrote two lines. Malcolm McLaren on the differences between New York punk and the Sex Pistols.

“I learned so much from Legs,” says McCain. “He gets on the phone with Malcolm McLaren and goes, ‘First off, I don’t want to talk about the Sex Pistols.’ And Malcolm McLaren is so fucking relieved! He asks him questions about the New York Dolls, which he was probably rarely asked about before Please Kill Me. And then gradually the Sex Pistols come up, but he’s more engaged, because he didn't think he had to talk about it.”

“You disarm people,” admits McNeil. “You’ve got to be immediately intimate with them.

Because you’re going to ask them everything. You’re going to have to ask them who they’re sleeping with, what drugs they were taking, what they were thinking, what their emotional state was at the time.”

Still, McNeil says he has yet to interview someone who was reluctant to talk.

“I think for a lot of people it’s almost like therapy. They’re really into telling their story,” he says. “It’s kind of fascinating.”

Too Tough To Sell McNeil’s experimentation with the unfiltered style of Please Kill Me can be traced, to some extent, back to his time with Punk magazine.

“Kind of with the Q&A interviews, which were hysterically funny,” he says. “Holmstrom would do things like in the first Lou Reed interview, Lou was talking about his favorite cartoonists, and John drew him in the different styles, like Wally Wood.

It was very cool. We did things like when I interviewed Richard Hell at Max’s and I passed out—and Richard kept talking. Stuff like that. That was fun, you know?”

Both McNeil and McCain were inspired by Edie: American Girl, the 1982 oral history of Edie Sedgwick

by Jean Stein and George Plimpton.

Though a bestseller and critically acclaimed for the groundbreaking exposition-free style that anticipated Please Kill Me, it failed to have the same cultural impact. McNeil, however, saw its potential.“He started doing a book with Dee Dee [Ramone],” says McCain.

“Dee Dee asked him to write his autobiography with him. Legs had the idea, because he loved Edie, to do it as an oral history. So he was getting Danny [Fields’] interviews transcribed, and all these people, and I said to him, ‘This story is so much bigger than Dee Dee. He’s a seminal character, but it’s just such a huge story.’ Then Dee Dee got kind of hard to get along with, and when they parted ways, Legs was like, ‘Do you want to do this with me?’ So that's how it started.”

Considering that Please Kill Me would go on to have a huge impact on the book industry, it’s ironic that publishers showed no interest in the project at first. Despite 1991 being “the year punk broke,” as one documentary title put it, with the success of Nirvana’s Nevermind and pop-punk bands like Green Day and the Offspring storming the radio in 1994, a book about punk was still a

tough sell back then. And it certainly didn’t help that it was an oral history, a literary genre associated with Studs Terkel books about old-timey things like the Great Depression and World War II. “We knew we wouldn't be able to sell it on just a proposal and a chapter, because people wouldn’t get it. Not only the subject matter, but also the oral history format. So we had written the whole book before we tried to sell it,” says McCain.

The exhausting interview schedule had some out-there moments, like the interview with former Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton, which McNeil counts among his favorites.

“We did like 10 hours in one sitting. Drinking milk and vodka or some weird thing,” says McNeil. “I was just listening to him, and he’s talking to his cats through the whole thing. ‘Leave her alone, Patches!’”

The great white whale for the two of them was Iggy Pop. “We purposefully wanted to leave him for last, because we wanted to be able to ask really informed questions,” says McCain.

Iggy ended up being McCain's favorite interview that she did with McNeil.

“I think we ask questions in a certain way that maybe makes people think about things in a different way, or reminds them of certain things. That was our goal, to get stories other people hadn’t. But when you ask a question [to Iggy Pop] like, ‘OK, you’re at the Yost

Field House. You’ve stolen some IDs.’ This is how Legs framed it. ‘You’re 14 years old, and you see Jim Morrison come onstage. How do you feel?’

I don't think many people have framed questions like that. That’s why we wanted to do him at the very end, so we totally knew what we were talking about.”

McNeil went on to co-write another oral history book, 2005’s The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry.

But for that one, he worked with Jennifer Osborne and Peter Pavia.

He and McCain didn’t work together again until they co-edited Dear Nobody: The Real Life Diary of Mary Rose, a collection of a teenager’s journal entries that came out last year. They then began work on SixtyNine, the Please Kill Me–like oral history of L.A. rock they hope to finish in two years.

McNeil attributes the long gap between their collaborations to the ragged ending of their work on Please Kill Me. “We were just exhausted,” he says. “And Gillian hated me.

Understandably. I think she had a nervous breakdown after. I think working with me sent her over the edge.”

But she did come around.

“Well, yeah,” says McNeil, “but after 20 years.” She forgot the hard parts, he says.

And now, on the new book?

McNeil laughs. “I reminded her.”Y

With only a few weeks under their belts, the very earnest and friendly wait staff is doing their best to keep up. Already the large space frequently has a waitlist. The menu features a manageable variety of appetizers, salads and of course various styles of pizza. A 10” deep-dish brimming with BBQ chicken, smoked bacon and jalapenos is a winner. I have previously sampled several of the thin-crust options in San Francisco, including the spinacini topped with spinach, tomatoes and mozzarella and a prosciutto and arugula—none have disappointed. No formal dessert options are offered; however, every table includes a honey bear and diners are encouraged to drizzle honey on any remaining crust for a sweet finish.

Cocktails, beer and wine round out the restaurant’s offerings. As with the food, many are sourced locally with an emphasis on artisan producers and organic when possible.

I have always been impressed with the Bon Air Shopping Center. Unlike other malls it seems to have just the right mix of restaurants, retailers and grocery—and it’s always busy.

Patxi’s has landed in a good North Bay location. They seem happy to be here and by the looks of the crowds eager to get in, it’s safe to say that the feeling is mutual.Y Patxi’s Pizza, 340 Bon Air Center, Greenbrae; patxispizza.com; 415/526-3889.

ne of my first trips to Marin in 1988 entailed a visit to Calico Corners, an East Coast-based fabric and furniture franchise in the Bon Air Shopping Center. With its closing, a different kind of franchise moved in. Bolts of top-quality silks and exquisitely upholstered sofas were replaced with imported Italian ovens, five flat-screen televisions and enough tables and chairs to seat 200 people.

The 16th outpost of Patxi’s Pizza made its Marin debut in early August, and in many ways seems a perfect fit for South Marin’s wellheeled young families and executive types. Patxi’s (pronounced ‘pahcheese’) comes from one of the two owners, Francisco “Patxi” Azpiroz, who founded the popular pizza chain in 2004. Together, Azpiroz and Bill Freeman have been treating Bay Area folks to their deep-dish, Italianstyle thin-crust, and gluten-free pies for more than 10 years.

Completely reimagined by the architect firm DMHA out of Santa Barbara, the stunning space begins with massive front doors featuring foot-long wooden pizza paddles for door handles that open into a dizzying amount of muted beige wood, stone and a decidedly brown color palette. There are plenty of brushed metal chairs, high- and lowtop tables and a wrap-around full bar that looks out onto Sir Francis Drake. It’s a lot to take in—the transformation is so utterly extreme and even extends outside to a

Owner, Jere Gettle, a pure food supporter who is known to many as ‘the Indiana Jones of seeds,’ planted his first garden at age 3. Today the company catalogue ships to more than 250,000 gardeners nationally and offers the largest selection of heirloom varieties in the U.S. Gettle and his team created this not-for-profit event. All funds above cost are donated to school gardening education and other sustainable food programs. On Thursday, September 10, the expo is especially devoted to educational and fun events for children of all ages. This day will be free for children and one adult, and doors will open at 9am instead of 10am.

Ready for a competition?

There’s a contest for everyone.

Giant pumpkin, best honey, best sunflower, best tomato, favorite pig, fiddler and a chalk art competition featuring drawings of farm life and heirloom produce.

The exposition showcases more than 100 speakers—knowledgeable authors, food activists and environmental speakers coming to share their wisdom on how we can all work to improve our country’s dysfunctional food system, 350 natural food vendors and exhibitors and attracts more than 15,000 visitors.

An impressive lineup of nationally and internationally recognized speakers will include Dr. Vandana Shiva, renowned author, philosopher and environmentalist; Jeremy Seifert, director of the film GMO OMG, which looks at the way GMOs affect our children; Andrew Kimbrell, founder and executive director of Center for Food Safety; Sara Patterson, teenage farmer and entrepreneur who runs Red Acre Farm, a small sustainable family farm near Cedar City in southern Utah; Deborah Koons Garcia, director of the films The Future of Food and Symphony of

At the National Heirloom Expo, vendors from across the country will showcase products pertaining to natural food, sustainability, green living and more.

Rules of comedy Greg Proops questions forms of humor

By David Templeton

C

omedian Greg Proops is not a fan of superhero movies, sequels or remakes— with one or two notable exceptions.

“The Maltese Falcon, by John Huston, is a remake,” he points out. “There have always been sequels and there will always be remakes, but all of these superhero movies just don’t do it for me. I know people love them, and they are mildly entertaining, but my problem with superheroes is that they all have these amazing powers, all of these fantastic things they can do that defy nature—and then at the end they just have a big fistfight.

Anybody can have a fistfight. Big deal.”

Proops, best known for his stint on TV’s “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” is the author of The Smartest Book in the World, a reference book adaptation of his popular podcast “The Smartest Man in the World.”

Essentially a witty download of Proopian thoughts on history,

culture and the state of the world, the podcast—and the highly entertaining book it inspired—is a companion to his other podcast, “Greg Proops Film Club,” a live recording of conversations that Proops has on stage in Los Angeles after screening one of his favorite movies at the Cinefamily theater.

Recently in Northern California on a book tour, Proops enthusiastically accepted my invitation to see and discuss a movie … but then we couldn’t find a film that we both wanted to see happening at a time we were both available to see it.

Then he left the state.

Today, having given up on choosing one particular film to discuss, the Smartest Man in the World and I are on the phone, talking about why it’s so hard to find a good film that isn’t in 3D (“The wax museum [movie], sure, but nothing else,” Proops says), isn’t a remake or sequel or doesn’t feature a superhuman mutant

humanly possible, because I think it’s a valuable art form. I mean, it’s a rule of comedy that someone else’s pain is always funny. But there’s only so much we can take.

“I saw it happening on television in a huge way, starting four or five years ago,” he continues. “Every single TV commercial had someone being killed, or getting their hand caught in a machine. When did we become the world of hurt? Is there no room left for anything but cruelty?”

“Can it possibly go any further?”

I ask. “Or will there be a return, at some point, to a kind, gentler form of humor?”

“I hope there will be but I really don’t know,” Proops says. “There’s a definite desensitization at work, and it makes me sad. People are nicer than that, I think. I don’t know, maybe I’m naïve. Of course I’m naïve. I choose to be naïve. I think it’s better than being hard and cruel.”

“Would you say that, maybe, gentler forms of humor cease to be effective after years of repetition,” I ask, trying to put my finger on the trend, “so that, to get a laugh, we need to turn up the intensity, and as a result, movies get more and more intense, and humor becomes more and more mean-spirited?”

“No, I wouldn’t say that, exactly,” he responds. “I’d say that Hollywood studios are reinforcing the economy of bullshit that these lousy writers are coming up with.

It’s the kind of stuff studios will buy from writers, because they know it sells, so that’s all writers are writing, because they need to work.

It’s basically a problem of studios distrusting the intelligence of their audience, and if you don’t give the audience anything else to choose, they will choose the crap.

“And then Hollywood makes more crap, ’cause they think that’s what people want. But guess what?

I do a podcast where I talk and blather about whatever is on my mind for 90 minutes, like an oldfashioned radio show . . . and people listen. Lots of people listen. I show old movies in movie theaters once a month, and people come to them, and they enjoy them, and don’t flip out or anything. It excites them, and it’s contagious.

“Because it’s different,” concludes Proops. “And we can only handle so many superhero movies before we demand something else. And I don’t think that’s just me.

“Though maybe it is. I am naïve, after all.”Y

beating the crap out of other superhuman mutants.

“The last movie I saw in a movie theater was Pillow Talk, with Rock Hudson and Doris Day,” Proops says.

No, Proops is not saying that he hasn’t been to a movie since 1959, when Pillow Talk debuted.

He screened it as part of his Greg Proops Film Club.

“It’s great to see an old movie on the big screen,” he says. “It’s kind of funny how, even if you’ve seen a film a thousand times on TV, then see them with a bunch of people in a theater, those movies seem new and exciting. Pillow Talk got actual screams of laughter from some people in the audience. People were crying, they were laughing so hard.

“Do you know that movie, David?”

“I’ve seen it on TV,” I admit. “It’s one of those weirdly dated movies that still manages to be funny, partly because it’s so dated.”

“Exactly!” Proops says. “Rock Hudson absolutely tortures Doris Day, who’s his neighbor, with a party line on their phone. Rock Hudson keeps calling her up and pretending to be different people on the party line. It was getting howls, and I was thinking it really wouldn’t hurt to go back and look at some of those great sitcom-style movies from the ’50s and ’60s. They make movies like Bridesmaids and The Hangover III look so unsophisticated and dumb.”

“And yet, in a way, they were the Bridesmaids and Hangovers of their day,” I point out. “These were the movies parents didn’t want their kids to see because they might be a bad influence.”

“It’s true. They had sex in them, or the possibility of sex,” Proops says.

“When we showed Pillow Talk in Los Angeles on a Tuesday night, the place was packed with 170 people, and not just old people in their 80s.

The people who come are not dusty archivists, pining for the past. They are film fans, and a lot of them were young—and they loved it, because it works. It’s a good movie.”

“And it’s not mean,” I add.

“Comedies today have gotten incredibly mean. The remake of Vacation, for one example, heaps so much genuine pain and agony on its characters I don’t see why people can laugh at it for 90 minutes.”

“Oh, I agree,” Proops says.

“Cruelty has replaced humor, and I’m not sure when it happened.

There’s where I get off the train. I mean, I’ve always liked slapstick, and as a comedian, I try to use as much slapstick in my act as

Left Edge Theatre offers ‘daring plays imaginatively staged for adventurous audiences.’

THEATER

Local legend Left Edge Theatre carries on tradition

By David Templeton

P

contemporary theater, with an emphasis on things that had never been produced in the area before.

It changed the scene completely, proving that when groundbreaking theater is being done by first-rate artists, people will make the effort to come see it.”

The theater soon earned such a stellar reputation that audiences from around Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties—and even as far away as Berkeley and San Francisco—would make the drive to Santa Rosa to see what was happening at Actors Theater.

Thompson was there when the company—formerly a breakaway from the long-established Santa Rosa Players—rejoined the Players to create 6th Street Playhouse, folding both companies into one under the 6th Street banner.

After serving as executive director of 6th Street for three years, a reorganization of management effectively ended Thompson’s participation in the North Bay and Sonoma County theater scene for the next decade.

“With the exception of directing

two resident theater companies, Roustabout Theater and North Bay Stage Company, also operate.

“We have a strong season of four great shows to kick this off,” Thompson says. “Once we make it through this first year, we will see what happens next, but my goal is to establish Left Edge as a professional theater company. The best thing for building an audience for theater is having good theater available. So that, more than anything, is our goal.”Y NOW PLAYING: Good People runs on Fridays and Saturdays (with one Sunday matinee) from Sept. 4-19 at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, 50 Mark West Springs Rd., Santa Rosa; $30-$40; leftedgetheatre.com; 707/546-3600.

Argo Thompson

erhaps you remember this.

There was once a tiny theater tucked into a corner of the Luther Burbank Center, at the northernmost edge of Santa Rosa.

From the way people talk about it today, it’s hard to believe that such a place was ever real. Though the space itself is gone, replaced almost 10 years ago by offices and storage space at the center (since renamed The Wells Fargo Center for the Arts), the shows that were performed at Actors Theater during its mighty reign have lingered on in the memories of North Bay theater fans and artists alike. Some of those productions—Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, Joan Ackermann’s Off the Map—have fully become the stuff of local theater legend.

“It was an amazing time, and the best artists in the area did great work there,” says Argo Thompson, who joined the company after its foundation, and served as artistic director of Actors Theater from 1997 to 2005. “The goal of the company was to champion small,

the occasional production of The Santaland Diaries, with David Yen, I have been out of the scene for 10 years,” says Thompson, who served as the executive director of the Marin Arts Council from 2009 to 2011, and has since been working primarily in development and fundraising for various arts-related institutions since, including 142 Throckmorton in Mill Valley and Theatre Bay Area, in San Francisco.

Thompson has finally reentered the scene with Left Edge Theatre, a brand new company in Santa Rosa offering its first season of shows within a few hundred feet of where the original Actors Theater once stood. Beginning with this weekend’s opening of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Good People, Left Edge Theatre has officially landed at Wells Fargo Center, where

Argo Thompson, former executive director of the Marin Arts Council, served as artistic director of Actors Theater from 1997-2005.

Inside ‘Jobs’ New biopic punctures the myth of Steve Jobs By Richard von Busack

S

teve Jobs: The Man in the Machine celebrates Jobs’ accomplishments while demagnetizing his cult of personality. The thought-provoking interviews flow down a stream of music from one of Jobs’ favorites, Bob Dylan—the evocative, sensitive music of a man also capable of being a nasty piece of work.

Chrisann Brennan, the mother of Jobs’ child, describes the man’s callousness here as she did in her memoir, where she wrote, “Steve’s lack of fair play seems shameless to me.” Bob Belleville, a weeping former Apple exec, quotes the eulogy he wrote, recalling that “Santa Claus” was one of the faces of Steve.

There are still a lot of people who believe in Santa, remembering the advent of the iPod, the iMac, the iPad. Director Alex Gibney’s film will come across as blasphemy to the kind of people who put “#iSad” on their Facebook pages on that October day four years ago.

Perhaps little crimes indicate indifference to bigger ones. Jobs

was an able-bodied jerk who took handicapped parking spaces. But Gibney checks off a bigger roster: Apple’s tax sheltering $137 billion overseas; the company’s stinginess to charities under Jobs; the suicidewracked subcontractor Foxconn; the downstreaming of pollution and unsafe working conditions; the gaming of stock options.

One tidbit we see here: A vintage magazine advertisement showing an iteration of the Apple computer that sold for $666.66. It was sold with a logo that’s the symbol of temptation and the Fall of Man. The only way to fully appreciate these magic little machines is to understand that they’re the result of ceaseless health-ruining, family-fracturing labor by people whose names we will never know.

Belleville describes Jobs’ career as “a life well and fully lived,” yet Jobs’ struggle never ended. His designs grew obsolete, like the commodities they are. Considering them is like considering Jobs’ life: You don’t know whether to marvel over the achievement or mourn over all the waste.Y

Q:

Goddess

I’m a 37-year-old woman, and I’ve always been quick to have sex, but I’m trying to just “date” first. Well, I’ve been on five dates with this one guy, and all we’ve done is kiss. Now I’m beginning to think that he isn’t attracted to me or is put off by my past, which, unfortunately, I was honest about.—Dismayed

A:

Try to think of this as artisanal dating. Maybe he’s finished building the bed out of antique Popsicle sticks but his carpal tunnel kicked in while he was killing the flock of ducks for the mattress or spinning the cotton for the sheets.

If that sounds like a stretch, well, it’s no more of one than your notion—that the guy’s gone out with you five times because he finds you repellant or stays up nights picturing your sexual past (complete with barricades and rent-a-cops for crowd control). Do you think he’s enrolled in some underground rewards program, like you go out with a woman six times and you get a complimentary latte or maybe an iTunes gift card?

Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt point out that “human mating is inherently strategic.” Genetically, they explain, it’s generally in a man’s best interest to pursue a “short-term sexual strategy.” (Scientific journals and tenure committees frown on terms like “hit it and quit it.”) Basically, a man can limit his participation in sex to the fun part and still pass on his genes. Women coevolved to expect men to try for this sort of limited participation (so your bewilderment at his crossed legs isn’t exactly surprising). But a man can come to a point where a “long-term sexual strategy” becomes wiser, and it’s generally when he’s serious about finding a partner and not just a sex partner for the evening.

Note that the guy keeps coming to pick you up, and not because he is an Uber driver or is being held at gunpoint by your mother. You could say something to him—maybe, “Hey, I was really hoping you’d take me home one of these nights.”

This may be the nudge he needs to make a move—or at least tell you what’s up. And sure, it is within the realm of possibility that he has ED, an STD, low sexual desire, or a seriously small penis and is waiting until you’re emotionally attached to break out the news. But it’s also possible that you aren’t the only woman he’s seeing and he’s trying to be adult about it, meaning that he’s learned that many women get emotionally attached after sex. Sleeping with two women is a good way to end up with a girlfriend—and one would-be girlfriend in the bushes with ricin-tipped blow darts or at least searching Yelp for the best-rated local assassins.

Q:

My friend says that you only find out who somebody truly is when you break up with them. He suggests that I pick a few fights with anybody I’m dating so I can see their true colors. Is this really a wise idea?—Skeptical

A:

If you really want to see what a person’s made of, after goading them into a fight, you might do a lung capacity test, like by holding them down and trying to drown them in a bathtub.

Though it seems an obviously bad idea to pick petty arguments, your friend has a point—that you don’t find out who somebody really is when the most pressing question they’re asked is, “Do you need a few more minutes to look at the menu, monsieur?” What comes out in the early stages of dating is temperament more than character. In social psychology, temperament is basically what “flavor” a person is— introverted or extraverted, loud or quiet, happy or glum. Character is values-driven behavior—meaning whether a person’s likely to do what’s right as opposed to what’s easiest. (Like if there’s a landslide, do they try to save you or just wave goodbye?)

Character is mostly revealed in two ways: Over time and through stress. To speed up the character revelation timetable, do challenging activities together—the sort in which “party manners” are hard to maintain: Camp. Go on a high-stakes scavenger hunt. Go on a juice fast. Go on a juice fast while camping. Who a person really is can’t help but come out when they’re in the middle of the woods with you, they haven’t eaten solid food in a week and a hiker walks by with a bag of Doritos. (It’s the little things that count—like how they lovingly brush that telltale orange dust out of your hair before the cops come.)Y

WHAT’S YOUR

Sign?

By Leona Moon

For the week of September 2

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Sick of the drama, Aries? Let the rest of your inner Shakespeare out—Venus turns direct on Sept. 6, which will leave you with less ‘accidentally texting your ex’ situations and more brownie points. It traveled retrograde the past few weeks through Leo, your house of passion and all things lusty, so try to swing that by your significant other if you’re still in the doghouse.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Restoration Hardware, who, Taurus? You were born with taste that even their Fall/ Winter catalog can’t even begin to fathom.

Remember that ambitious project you took on? Turning your basement into a full-functioning apartment? Well, it’s time to pick up the blueprints and make it happen on Sept. 2. If you stay idle on it too long, inspiration might not strike for a while.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) What

Libra

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Getting pretty serious, Libra? It looks as if the stars will have you taking a huge leap with your beloved—potentially moving in with a significant other. Whatever the next milestone may be, it will be full of passion, joy and maybe a little confusion.

Everything needs an adjustment period— especially with the way you sing in the shower.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Who’s that calling you on the phone, Scorpio? It’s your dream career from five years ago—you finally did it! The job you conjured up ages ago has finally found its way into your lap. You can’t believe it? Neither can some of your family after many years of you following your, at times, passionately stubborn self. Ride the wave of creativity and continue to flourish!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

do you have planned for your three-day weekend, Gemini? I bet you’re thinking a whole lot of Lagunitas IPA, good friends and maybe a few video games and football. Unfortunately, think again. A male figure—father or older brother, most likely—is going to need to lend a hand, or muscle-y arm. So trade the six-pack for a pick ax.

Download Skype ASAP, Sagittarius! Your next big gig has you working with a world leader, or someone across the world. This is no project for the faint of heart—you might be traveling to help children in Africa or build houses in Costa Rica. You’ve got reach with this one and you’re more than ready to make an impact. Bring your sass and wit along, as it will mix perfectly with your drive and creativity.

You’ve had a case of the Mondays for a while now, Cancer. Let go and let live!

You’re overdue for some fun in the workplace—we’re not talking throwing Twitter bro parties, but maybe a half-day on Friday and take your staff bowling— where there’s beer. You might learn a thing or two about some of your mysterious co-workers that could lead to your next innovative project.

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Tired of your current apartment, Capricorn? Chances are that you don’t see what you’re putting into it as worth it. That’s fine—and realizing the need to relocate and that you deserve better is the first step. The stars want you to wait until after Sept. 6, when Venus goes direct in Leo, before you start scouring Craigslist and RadPad. In the meantime, you can dust the baseboards and do little tasks to prepare.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)

Prepare to chill, Leo. Mercury squares off with Pluto, leaving a slightly uncomfortable situation. If you’re trying to advocate for yourself at work, it’s not the best day to ask for a raise. You’re stubborn, so make sure that any fight you pick is worth sticking by—it’s not going to end pretty. If you can avoid confrontation altogether and take a vow of silence, that might be your best bet.

Virgo

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Need some extra advice when it comes to your relationship, Virgo? If your significant other has been driving you borderline insane these past few months, we’ve got some good news for you. A little retreat might be just what you need to see one another in a new light. It doesn’t have to be a full-fledged couple’s retreat, but rent a hotel room in Calistoga for the weekend and a breakthrough is nigh— push through!

Capricorn

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Times they are a-tryin’, Aquarius! If you’ve found yourself between a rock and a hard place, don’t panic. It happens to all of us—there are some things that even a cold beer or chilled glass of sauvignon blanc can’t solve. Your partner will be there for you to lean on, so don’t be scared. This isn’t going to be like that trust fall exercise from summer camp in the fourth grade.

Pisces

(Feb. 19 - March 20) Did you step into the fighting ring at work, Pisces? Maybe you pushed someone’s buttons to see what he or she is made of ?

While, sure, that does build character, you’ve also got to think that you have to see this person 40 hours a week. Try to make amends by surprising him or her with coffee and a delicious pastry—may I recommend madeleines?Y
