LETTERS HISTORY IN THE MAKING

It is wrong to clump all Christians and “Bible” people—and even rednecks—as against marriage equality. It is OK to debate the issue, but we need to work on changing hearts and minds, not offending the same people we may depend on to support our efforts to be treated equally under the law in Pennsylvania. A little diplomacy goes a long way. I was a gay activist at Indiana University in the early to mid ‘90s, and I could tell you some stories—getting stones thrown at me in the Oak Grove and ultimately educating the same people who launched the attack. They became allies when light and understanding was shed on their ignorance. BRIAN SCHWARZ via phillynow.com

In response to Natalie Hope McDonald’s feature story about how colonial Philly’s same-sex secrets pointed toward the future of gay rights: Enjoyed this article. When I was a kid, I had a Disney album and one of the songs was about Deborah Sampson. I must have been in second grade, but I remember the lyrics were, “Deborah Sampson, as a man she volunteered... as a man she persevered... Did everything but grow a beard to join the continental army.” Even at that age I thought the song quite progressive for a Disney history album! ANONYMOUS via philadelphiaweekly.com

A LABOR OF LOVE

Regarding Randy LoBasso’s blog about State Rep. Brian Sims introducing a marriage equality bill: No way. Not in PA. I would love to see it, but remember where Rick Santorum came from: right here. PA is guns, God and Bible, and that leaves no room for marriage equality. Sorry to say. SASCHA FINK via phillynow.com

This is better than no change, no movement. They say a body in motion stays in motion. A body in rest stays in rest. Lets bring peace and love to Pennsylvania!

As someone who grew up in Pennsyltucky [and] currently lives in California, I have my doubts on this winning in a vote. It all comes down to voter turnout, as the larger cities in the state tend to vote very liberal. Opinions on this are evolving, even within Pennsylvania. If not this time, it will pass in the near future.

Superstar ex-wrestler Mick Foley performs standup at Helium Comedy Club this week.

WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... COMEDY

Mick Foley

If you’re like me, you have a few distinct memories of Mick Foley in the ‘90s. One’s probably of the WWE star getting tossed off a steel cage during his 1998 Hell in a Cell match against the Undertaker. Maybe you made trips to the mall kiosk to buy out-of-production video tapes of Cactus Jack/Terry Funk barbed-wire matches in Japan. Perhaps that led you to buying more tapes of more types of Japanese wrestling. And maybe you came to the obvious conclusion: Man, the Japanese are into some weird shit. (Then: “Did that wrestler just win by shoving his opponent into a fish tank full of piranhas? He did!”) Or maybe that was just me. Either way, Foley’s career has taken a few fortuitous turns since then. The WWE Hall of Fame inductee has been an author, a color commentator, a reality TV contestant and an advocate for numerous causes all over the world. The swerve he took a couple years ago has given him another life: Now, he’s a standup comic. And the beautifully scarred mind behind Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind will be in our fair city tonight. A few things about Foley’s act are painstakingly obvious, which we should go over for anyone on the fence about hitting up the show. One, he’s more of a storyteller than a joke-teller, and many of his stories are about his days in the wrestling arena. Two, being a wrestler, it turns out, can be somewhat relatable to the rest of us working stiffs: It is a job, and ultimately you pretend to be something you’re not. (Don’t we all?) So, you probably don’t have to be into wrestling to enjoy yourself— although it could help. And three, Foley’s progression into a comedian certainly shouldn’t shock the average wrestling fan. Anyone else remember Mankind as one of Foley’s “faces?” Mr. Socko? That was pretty funny. / RANDY LOBASSO Wed., July 10, 7:30pm. $25-$32. Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St. heliumcomedyclub.com

summer 2013 Lineup

AUGUST 14: Chaka Khan

M USI C

Chaka Khan + Ledisi It was a surprise to us, too: Chaka Khan? In Philly? At the Dell MusicCenter? Wait, where’s the Dell Center? Turns out we’ve had our heads up our asses, because the Dell Center, nestled on the east edge of Fairmount Park on Strawberry Mansion Bridge Drive, has an eight-show program this summer called the Essence of Entertainment Concert Series, to be kicked off by this funk queen. Going on nearly 40 years of programming, the Dell seats more than 5,000 ticketed guests and another 600 people on a lawn in an outdoor amphitheater that’ll host a pretty tight slew of talent this season. But perhaps none can hold a candle to Khan, the series’ inaugural guest. The Chicago native’s storied career started with a musical family. In her teens, she dabbled in Black Power and found herself in the group that would catapult her into superstardom, Rufus. Through the ‘70s, they released iconic records featuring Khan’s larger-than-life vocals and stage presence, bared midriff and dramatic tribal outfits. Later in the decade, she signed a solo contract and kicked it off with “I’m Every Woman,” written especially for her by Ashford and Simpson. Khan’s voice is one of a kind—at once soulful and bombastic, brassy and smooth, powerful and subtle. For many, she’s the most remarkable diva to ever tackle funk, soul, R&B and pop. Then there’s Ledisi, one of the quietest but most vibrant young talents in a genre that wouldn’t be what—or where—it is without Khan’s dynamism. What a great way to spend the night. / BILL CHENEVERT 7pm. $25-$60. Dell Music Center, Ridge Ave. and Huntingdon St. mydelleast.com

Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark

E VENT

Liverpudlian innovators OMD emerged in the late ‘70s with music that combined mechanically chilling Kraftwerk-y soundscapes with the detached but achingly humanizing vocals of Andy McCluskey. Despite denouncing any kind of gimmicky image, this early synth-pop formula alone found them quick success, especially in Europe. Creatively, they peaked on their third record, 1981’s Architecture & Morality, a perfect blend of experimentation and pop sensibility that can be heard in the heartbreaking classics “Joan of Arc” and “Maid of Orleans.” When their next effort, the very avant-garde Dazzle Ships, was a total commercial failure, things began to change. Scarred and angry, they spent the rest of the ‘80s releasing a string of conventional, radio-friendly albums that may not have crossed any musical boundaries but showcased their prowess for writing some damn fine bubblegum pop. This era yielded their best known tune here in the States, “If You Leave,” which was written for the 1986 John Hughes-penned Pretty in Pink. However, as the decade drew to a close, the group disbanded, leaving only McCluskey to carry the name until he eventually retired it himself in 1996. That seemed to be the end, but nine years later, the band announced the reformation of its classic lineup. English Electric, released in April, is their second LP since reuniting, and it manages to simultaneously revisit their glory years and remain urgent at the same time. The undeniably catchy “Night Café” and the absolutely stunning “Helen of Troy” are stand-out moments on what is probably their finest work in more than 20 years. / ANTHONY TRIVELLI 8:30pm. $25.

PHILLYNOW Saturday, July 13 MUSIC

Bosnian Rainbows Although there are small and gentle traces of his former groups in this one, Omar Rodríguez-López’a new band isn’t very much like either At The Drive-In or The Mars Volta. See, on a recent hiatus from Mars Volta, Rodríguez-López found himself idle, lonely and a little antsy. So he joined forces with the frontwoman from the Mexi-punk band with whom he’s often collaborated, Le Butcherettes, and her name is extraordinary: Teri Gender Bender. Those two, with Volta drummer Deantoni Parks and songwriter and keys specialist Nicci Kasper, formed Bosnian Rainbows, which Rodríguez-López believes to be a real band—not a “dictatorship,” something he’s said of past musical unions. Together, they banged out a rather unexpected record. A Mars Volta spinoff it is not. And we’re not mad. Weaving a web of unexpected elements that include synth pop, spacey indie rock, the occasional post-metal guitar run and constant, steady percussion, their self-titled debut LP brings to mind Phantogram and The Cure in equal parts on a given listen. Gender Bender’s beguiling vocals pull you in, extracting and employing bits of female frontwomen of all genres (Sinead O’ Connor, Karen O., PJ Harvey and the Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson, for instance). This doesn’t suggest that there won’t be a unique kind of energy pulsing through Underground Arts tonight that takes from metal and punk, because there will be. And it’s certainly the exciting start to a new chapter in the artistic lives of a bunch of talented, disparate musicians. / B.C. 9pm. $15.

The Color Run It’s called “the happiest 5k on the planet.” If running doesn’t give you the spike in endorphins and mood that fitness junkies often talk about, maybe this rainbow of positivity and, well, paint, will do the trick. Start the run wearing white; end it covered in ROYGBIV. At each kilometer, runners are doused in powdered paint of a different color. At the finish line, runners and spectators find themselves in a humungous “Color Festival,” where more paint is thrown, and the frivolity continues. The Color Run is more about fun, individuality and promoting healthy living than it is about speed. The event is not timed. There are no winners. Anyone can participate—from children in strollers to senior citizens. Olympians and walkers alike are invited, and more than 60 percent of participants are first-time 5k-ers. Since its founding last year, the Color Run has become the largest 5k series in the country. This year, it’s being held in more than 130 cities in the U.S., South America, Europe and Australia, and Philadelphia is included on that fortunate roster. In each location, the run raises money for a local charity, and the Philly event benefits Back on My Feet, a nonprofit that uses running to inspire change in the lives of Philadelphia’s homeless. Tickets are sold out, but Back on My Feet is selling charity registrations. Sign up as a “FundRacer,” and the nonprofit will set up a donation page where you can ask for support for your run. / NICOLE BONACCORSO 7am. $250.

Jerry Pinkney

Addiction and Recovery Health Services

When Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania declared June 26 as Jerry Pinkney Day earlier this year, it’s likely only a dedicated few celebrated or even heard of it, other than those at the art museum’s reception, including Pennsylvania First Lady Susan Corbett and U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz. But if you’ve got kids, it’s likely the Germantown-born children’s book illustrator has hit your radar screen more than once during his career, as he’s drawn for more than 100 books in 50 years and won numerous awards, including the 2010 Caldecott Medal for The Lion and the Mouse, his wordless picture-book retelling of one of Aesop’s classic fables. The city is celebrating its beloved son with two prominent art shows featuring Pinkney’s work and his story. One, the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney, which opened on June 28, showcases a collection of his drawings and watercolors and is part of the museum’s family-friendly Art Splash program. The other, Drawing on the Reverse Side: The Art and Life of Jerry Pinkney, debuted four days prior at the Free Library’s Central Branch, looking at Pinkney’s local ties and family roots in Philadelphia, as well as the creative process that went into some of his acclaimed work. For tonight’s event at the Free Library, Pinkney will be on hand to discuss those works of art and answer audience questions. / R.L. Free. 7:30pm.

THE

EVOLUTION OF

D A N S A VA G E As straight America has become more gay, a once-alternative advice columnist has emerged as our national sex guru. BY DAVID ACCOMAZZO feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Savage’s writing career began in Madison, Wis., in 1991. He was working at a video store and became friends with Tim Keck, co-founder of The Onion. Keck told Savage he was starting a newspaper in Seattle—the alternative weekly already there, Seattle Weekly, wasn’t alternative enough. Savage suggested on a whim that Keck include a sex advice column. The rest is history. “Savage Love” continues to run in The Stranger, and dozens of other newspapers around the country, including this one, to this day. Savage started his career unabashedly gay—until 1999, every letter began with the opener “Hey Faggot,” in an attempt to reclaim the word—and the concept was “to treat straight sex with the same revulsion that straight advice columnists had always had for gay sex,” Savage told journalist Mark Oppenheimer, who wrote an e-book declaring Savage “the first

t’s a funny story, how the wiseass gay theater kid at the video store became America’s most trusted and outspoken sex advocate. • Through his sex column, “Savage Love,” Dan Savage has become one of the highest-profile gay figures in the country, a tireless and fearless advocate of a liberalized philosophy on sex and relationships. People think of different sexualities as opposing baseball teams; Savage has been coaching all sides for 22 years now. He’s crass, unapologetic, fearless and wise. He’s what Dr. Ruth would have been had she grown up watching Internet porn.

2 2 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I j u l y 1 0 - j u l y 1 7 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

gay celebrity.” However, this gag was shortlived, since as the column’s popularity grew and grew, it wasn’t just gay people who were writing him letters. Straight people began pouring their hearts out to him too, asking questions not just about the vagaries of butt sex and BDSM but about heartwrenching relationship problems as well. “When I started writing it, there was no Internet, there was no Google. A lot of the questions I would get, would be, ‘I’ve heard that there’s this thing called a butt plug. What the hell is that?’” Savage says. “And butt plugs literally have a Wiki page now. So, I don’t have to explain to people how a butt plug works.” Instead, he gets what he classifies as “situational ethics and relationship conflicts,” and what he dishes out these days is as much relationship counseling and sex therapy as it is sex advice. It’s a trend in his career—there’s something about the wisdom he espouses that appeals to a larger audience than he initially intends. His column is now a paragon of sex-positivity for all genders and sexual orientations on a national level. The It Gets Better campaign he started with his partner of 18 years (and husband of eight), Terry Miller, aimed to help bullied gay youth but quickly snowballed to include bullying victims of all sexual orientations. (The campaign did try to refocus the message back on queer kids.) What makes his appeal so universal? Perhaps it’s because the type of sexuality he proposes to straight people is more libertine than that which many straight people are told to practice. He believes monogamy in long-term relationships is difficult to the point of being unrealistic, so he often preaches the value of open relationships and the less-promiscuous “monogamish” ones, a term Savage coined a few years ago. In fact, as Savage has been pointing out recently in interviews, the lifestyle he preaches for straight people is essentially the one gay men have lived for years, the one condemned by Jerry Falwell and his ilk in the late ’70s and early ’80s as the “gay lifestyle.” “[Straight people] renamed everything,” Savage recently told an audience at the New York Public Library. “Gay people had ‘tricks’; you people have ‘hookups.’ Gay people had ‘fuckbuddies’; you guys have ‘friends with benefits.’ The whole moving to the city, living in an urban area, having an apartment, fucking a lot of people, dating around, and then settling down in your 30s. That period of straight life—post-college, pre-marriage— that … is the gay lifestyle. … And that’s how straight people now live. We are all faggots now in our 20s.” Despite the unrestrained mouth, Savage is also a throwback in many ways, the rare newspaper editor and columnist who managed to achieve a level of national fame and celebrity. His lifestyle these days—a stable marriage with a kid—is, somewhat counterintuitively, rather traditional, as Oppenheim-

“THE WAY WE TALK ABOUT MONOGAMY IS A PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE TOLD THAT WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE, THAT MEANS YOU DON’T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH ANYONE ELSE. A MOUNTAIN OF RESEARCH SHOWS THAT YOU WILL STILL WANT TO FUCK OTHER PEOPLE.” er points out. For all his popularity, Savage is not without critics. He has been accused of bigotry towards transsexuals, bisexuals and women; his staunch backing of the necessity for gay marriage in the ’90s, before the gay community reached a consensus on the need for it, led some gay people to brand him with a scarlet “C” for conservative. Even now, there seems to be some disagreement in the LGBT community as to whether Savage is a good representative for the cause. That criticism, says Jerry Portwood, executive editor of Out magazine, seems to come from the lesserseen, more conservative wing of the gay community. “For example, when I’ve posted things or written about things or put things on social media about Dan, often you have straight women defending him and Terry, and often it’s the gay men who are the ones that are more negative and that are attacking them,” Portwood says. “I find interesting that he has this very strong base of straight women who are willing to stand up for him.” Savage has never shied away from controversy, and he’s never let a fear of consequences stop him from speaking his mind. After Sen. Rick Santorum made remarks comparing homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality, Savage ran a letter in his column calling for a contest to redefine the Pennsylvania senator’s last name into a sex act of some sort. The winning definition, “The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex,” morphed into a huge “Google problem” headache for Santorum during his failed presidential run in 2012. That same year, a group of gay conservatives called GOProud endorsed Mitt Romney for president. Savage tweeted a link to the story with the words, “The GOP’s house faggots grab their ankles right on cue ... pathetic.” In April, speaking in front of a gathering of high school journalists, he criticized anti-gay Christians for selectively quoting the Bible. When several students stormed out, Savage remarked, “It’s funny to someone who is on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansy-ass people react when you push back.” Savage later apologized for using the term “pansy-ass”

but stood by his comments about the Bible. But that’s Savage in a nutshell. Perhaps it’s his bravery, his willingness to stick to his guns in a funny yet deathly serious way, that makes him so universally appealing. Savage was editor of The Stranger from 2001 to 2007 before becoming the editorial director, a position he describes as “the queen of England. I’m a consultant and I give advice, which is frequently ignored.” He continues to write his column, which he expanded into a very popular podcast in 2006. He is the author of six books, the most recent of which, American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics, came out May 28. This week, Savage shares some thoughts with us about his sexual philosophies, his experience as a gay man in the middle of the AIDS epidemic, and how his column has changed during the past 22 years. How would you describe your column to a stranger? I’ve always described the column as a conversation I’m having at a bar with my friends about sex after we’ve had a few drinks. And people are being sometimes funny, sometimes maudlin, but using the language they actually use when they talk about sex with their friends ... or when they’re not drunk. My column is a sex advice column for drunks who are being honest. I thought I might get your opinions on certain subjects that people might find out of the mainstream. For instance, what’s your take on monogamy? Ah, I knew you would go there first, just to piss people off. I’m for monogamy if that’s what a couple wants and that’s what makes a couple happy. I’m for a more realistic attitude towards infidelity and adultery, which, over the multidecade course of a truly long-term relationship, is likely to touch each and every one. I also think that open relationships work, and “monagamish” relationships work, which is how I describe mine. People who are in non-monogamous relationships don’t run around saying that people who are monogamous aren’t really in love and aren’t really committed, but often you hear people who are in monogamous

relationships saying that people who are in open relationships are not really in love, are not really committed, because they couldn’t do that if they were really in love or if they were really committed. And I think that’s often the monogamy folks projecting their insecurities around infidelity and cheating onto the non-monogamous. It’s not the nonmonogamous who are prescriptive. And the way we talk about monogamy is a problem. People are told growing up that one day they will fall in love and they will make a monogamous commitment, which will be relatively super-easy, because when you’re in love that means you don’t want to have sex with anyone else but that person. The actual fact, with experience plus also a mountain of research and data, shows that if you make a monogamous commitment, you will still want to fuck other people. You will. (Laughs) In a monogamous commitment, what you’re saying to your partner is that “I will refrain from fucking other people. I will still want to.” That actually makes that commitment more meaningful. If monogamy was easy, and people didn’t want to fuck other people when they were in love with someone, then we wouldn’t have to make a commitment not to do that. What’s the difference between monogamish relationships and open relationships? You know, it’s difficult when you talk about monogamy and not-monogamy. When you talk about monogamy, that’s one thing, and it’s identical. Everybody who is monogamous is doing the exact same thing: two people who are not fucking anybody else except each other. Open relationships come in so many different flavors. There can be as many different types of agreements and allowances for outside contact as there are open relationships. You may meet someone who says, “I’m in an open relationship,” and what they mean is that “my partner and I rarely and occasionally might have a three-way, once a year. Maybe.” Then you meet people in open relationships who have sex with two or three or four or five or 10 other people every week, who are just out there whoring it up. Terry and I are gay men—cat outta the bag there, right? When I would say that we are not monogamous, people would presume, because we’re gay men, a degree of promiscuity that made both of us really uncomfortable. Because we are not that promiscuous. But even other gay people would think, “They’re a gay couple, they’re not monogamous, they must be fucking a million people.” And we are so much more monogamous than not. Ninety-nine percent of the time if Terry or I are having sex, it’s Terry and I having sex with each other. To say “not monogamous” when there are these stereotypes about gay men and gay men have so much access to so many willing sex partners— because men are pigs, not just gay men, all men—made us uncomfortable. We’re much more monogamous than not. I was saying

that for a long time, and one time I said we’re “monogamish,” which is monogamous with a little squish around the edges. I’ve had gay men tell me that they think straight people have a very old-fashioned view of relationships and love, for that reason. Well, you look at the data, and gay male couples are the least likely to be monogamous. Straight couples and lesbian couples are the most likely to be monogamous. Which tells me the problem with monogamy is not gay men, it’s men, period. If you want to make marriage safe for monogamy, you need to ban marriage that involves men at all. Only lesbians should be allowed to marry, if monogamy is what marriage is defined by. After 22 years, do you get any letters that even make you cringe? Or are you totally jaded to anything anyone could ever write you? I’m pretty jaded. Sometimes I’m shocked how stupid people can be. The letters that break my heart are the people who are 25 or 30 and say “I’ve been reading you for 15 years; I’ve been reading you since I was 14 or 15 years old, and here’s what I did.” And I think, oh my God, you read me, but you didn’t pay attention? Nothing stuck? I’m just sometimes shocked that someone could read me for 15 years and make the same sort of junior varsity mistakes that I would think that 15 years of reading my column would inoculate you to that sort of shit, but apparently not. One of your more famous concepts is “GGG.” Could you give a quick definition of what that means? Good, giving and game. Good in bed—you have to work on those skills. A human being is way more complicated than a violin. No one expects to be able to play a violin the first time they pick it up, but everyone thinks they should be really good at this sex shit the first time they give it a bang. Giving, which is that you sometimes give pleasure without an expectation of an immediate return on that. Which is sometimes hard for people to wrap their heads around. You don’t want to be with someone who takes and takes and never reciprocates. But sometimes, you know, you do for your partner. Your partner is horny and you’re not, you help them get off, or you only have time for a quickie and you didn’t get to come, and that’s fine. You can give without and expectation of immediate return. And game: up for anything within reason. That you should do for your partner, you should go there, you should want to be the person who makes their dreams and their fantasies a reality, not the impediment, not the block. There’s a stupid thing we are told about sex, which is that you should never do anything that you don’t want to do. But some people define that so broadly, “don’t want to do,” some people define that as that you should never do anything that doesn’t turn you on, that isn’t something you want to do, that wasn’t something you were fantasizing about.

The problem with that in a long-term relationship is that you picture a Venn Diagram. If two people only have 20 percent overlap, there is going to be all this other shit that neither of them gets to do that leaves both of them feeling more sexually unfulfilled in that relationship than fulfilled, and that’s a recipe for the collapse of that relationship. You’ve written the death warrant for that relationship if that’s your approach. Your partner wants to try X, and you’re like, “Well, I’ve never had any interest in X, so we’re not doing X.” And you’re like, “OK, I guess I don’t ever get to experience this thing that I’ve fantasized about all my life with my sex partner, because they don’t want to do it, and they’re not willing to go there with me or for me.” And I think that destroys relationships, specifically sexually exclusive relationships. If you want a monogamous commitment, you’ve got to be whores for each other. You are saying, “I am solely responsible for this person’s sexual fulfillment.” You’ve got to honor that responsibility and live up to it.

“NO ONE EXPECTS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY A VIOLIN THE FIRST TIME THEY PICK IT UP, BUT EVERYONE THINKS THEY SHOULD BE REALLY GOOD AT THIS SEX SHIT THE FIRST TIME THEY GIVE IT A BANG.” You can’t say, “I am the be-all and the end-all. I am the only source of your sexual pleasure, and all these things that turn you on, we’re never doing any of that shit.” Then you have these problems when both people in these relationships are saying this to each other about different stuff! And then those relationships collapse and fall apart. You make monogamy sound so bleak. It doesn’t have to be bleak, so long as you’re whores for each other. You have to be the person that makes it happen. You want your partner to look and you and think, “because this person is in my life, these things—intimacy, romance—this is the source, the wellspring for all that.” You don’t want that person to look at you and think, “Fuck. Because I am with this person, I never get a blowjob, ever.” Because then that person is going to go on Craiglist and find a freelance blowjob-er. Are there any kinks that you recommend people not pursue? I tell people to be GGG, to go there, to be game for anything within reason. I don’t think people should do things that will traumatize them, leave them curled up in the fetal position on the floor when it’s

over, sobbing. I don’t think you owe that to your partner. What do you think about the new pope, how he advocated for civil unions when he was in Argentina? Well, that was a rearguard action. That was the church in Argentina being in retreat. They weren’t out in front saying, “Hey, we maybe we should treat same sex couples fairly and offer them civil unions.” If the church had said that in Argentina 20 years ago, maybe that would have spoken well of the new pope, but the church said it at the last minute to try to head off full civil equality and marriage in the past, but it was unsuccessful. You never see the church in a country where gay people are being persecuted and there’s no push for marriage rights, suggesting that maybe gay people should have access to civil unions. When the Catholic Church in Uganda or Nigeria or the Soviet Union or Ukraine, Germany, or anywhere else where there’s no push for marriage [equality], gets in front and says “civil unions for gay couples!”—that would be significant. In the 22 years that you’ve written this column, how have people’s sexual attitudes changed in this country? People are a lot more open, particularly about kink. People are a lot more realistic about monogamy, and I think that I’ve helped drive that conversation, including people who are monogamous, are more realistic about monogamy. I think realism about monogamy can actually make a monogamous relationship likely to remain monogamous or be successfully monogamous. It’s when two people are lying to each other and pretending they don’t want to be sleeping with anyone else, and both are policing each other for evidence that they actually do, and they both should know they both actually do. It’s just a huge strain on a marriage. It puts a lie at the heart of the marriage. And people are much more realistic about that now. And partly because of conversations I helped to drive in “Savage Love.” People are certainly way more realistic about kink and sexual variety, but that’s a conversation that I think was initiated by the AIDS epidemic that bled from the gay community into the straight community. Sex-ed used to be predicated on not writing about what people were actually doing, not writing sex advice columns, but writing about what everyone had come to a consensus on what people should be doing. ... And then the AIDS epidemic happened, and in an instant, vanilla sex, vaginal or anal intercourse—vaginal is vanilla for straights, anal is vanilla for gays—was riskier, more dangerous than BDSM. If you were going to get tied up and flogged and jerked off, you were actually being safer than someone who just wanted to fuck. And we suddenly had to have this much more open and honest and realistic conversation assessing people’s risks

and the risks of different sex acts and sexual interests. And suddenly things that had been stigmatized and dangerous and sick and unhealthy suddenly rose in their public estimation, because bondage presents no risk for HIV transmission, so long as you don’t follow it up with a good fuck, and many people into bondage don’t. And suddenly they were the safe boys and the safe girls. Where were you when the AIDS epidemic started? I was in gay bars in Chicago. I came out in 1981, just as the HIV, just as AIDS— gay cancer, then GRID, then AIDS—began to slam into the gay community. I remember. I was there. I have a lot of dead friends. Was it terrifying? Oh, it was. It was absolutely terrifying. Which is one of the things that drives me crazy about HIV educators, they run around saying fear-based education doesn’t work, and shame and guilt don’t work, and I’m like, oh no, I was there in the mid-’80s, and we were all terrified and deeply ashamed of some of the behaviors people engaged in that kind of laid out the welcome mat, or created the disease settings, that allowed AIDS to explode throughout the population. That did change everyone’s behavior. That fear and that shame worked like fucking gangbusters. It was rooted in reality. AIDS was legitimately terrifying then. Have you been following this bacterial meningitis outbreak among gay men in New York City? Speaking of scary, yes I have! Does that in any way remind you of the ’80s? What’s interesting is the alacrity, the response from health officials to get out in front of it. … The same health agencies— new officials, same agencies—that were so slow to respond to HIV, so slow to warn people, have been out there saying, “Let’s have an abundance of caution this time,” instead of an abundance of apathy. That’s what we didn’t see, we didn’t see health officials get out in front of it and speak directly and bluntly to gay men the way N.Y.C. health officials are now speaking bluntly to gay men. The slowness of the response is what led to so many thousands of people getting infected and ending up dead. That’s a sign of the times, right? Yeah, it’s a sign of the times in so many different ways. That we learned the lessons of HIV, and that gay people are more valued now. The reason why the response was so slow to HIV is because health officials, the media, politicians, they didn’t care whether gay men lived or died, but now they do. And that’s different and that’s gratifying. n

On the Way Home

Sometimes, you’re stuck in the suburbs at dinnertime. Here’s an option that’s surprisingly good: Bonefish Grill. By Nina Hoffmann // nhoffmann@philadelphiaweekly.com

espite the drizzle, a group of older Indian men smoke cigars on lounge chairs outside. Carrying on in Hindi, they don’t seem to mind that the temperature is dropping. Shivering, I power-walk to the door. Inside, a group of much younger Indian guys are laughing over a couple bottles of Victory Golden Monkey. On the wall hangs a painting of a fish whose head is melting into the canvas; it’s not a Dali, but it could be. Where the hell are we? “Welcome to Bonefish Grill!” the server says cheerily. “Have you dined with us before?” I haven’t. But if there are this many of my people eating here, I’m willing to give it a shot. Not that Indians are the ultimate arbiters of good food— but we do like us some spice. And we tend to steer clear of restaurants that under-season everything, opting instead to indiscriminately smother dishes in a heavy cream sauce and then labeling them their signature “savory selections.” That’s typically what happens at chain restaurants, am I right? That’s why we city slickers generally try to avoid the nationally branded dining experiences that dot America’s suburbs. Nonetheless: Sometimes, ’burbs happen, and whether it’s because we’re visiting family or just because we’ve got an irresistible craving for budget-minded crab cakes and ice cream sundaes, it’s better to know where we can turn for a meal that’s reliably good. Bonefish Grill makes the grade. The environmentally conscious Florida-based seafood restaurant specializing in fresh, wood-grilled fish just opened its sixth location around the outside of Philly’s circumference: Willow Grove, Langhorne, Marlton, Deptford, Newtown Square and now Montgomeryville. Here’s what’s worth trying: Bang Bang Shrimp: The restaurant’s most popular starter is a giant bowl of spicy, lightly breaded shrimp. It is served atop a completely unnecessary bed of lettuce, and it is addictive. Crab cakes: When they’re so delicate that they

fall apart, you know there aren’t any weird fillers. Added bonus and pleasant surprise: They were spicy. Seared ahi tuna tacos: Seared tuna is something I always crave, and these tacos can stand up next to anything I’ve eaten in the city—at a third of the price. The sides: Perfectly steamed veggies are an option here, unlike at many chains that prefer sending out greens drenched in butter—which completely dumbfounds me and eliminates the whole reason to eat veggies in the first place. Also: Quinoa! It’s served cold with lemon, bell pepper and fresh edamame. The desserts: Ice cream sundaes are the best because they satisfy two sweet-tooth categories (yes, they are separate in my book): chocolate and ice cream. This one—a flourless macadamia nut brownie with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce drizzled over top—did not disappoint. The peanut butter and jelly bread pudding was on special, and it was perhaps the most inventive riff on the classic sandwich I’ve ever tried. If you see it on offering, order it; I had to remind my husband to breathe while he was eating it. The beer list: It’s impressive: Victory, Ommegang, Rogue, Brooklyn. There’s even a separate list for sharing, which is a great idea because, like wine drinkers, there are plenty of people out there who want to pop open a big-ass bottle of beer and enjoy the experience of drinking and enjoying it together. And hey, when a national restaurant chain turns out to be craft-beer-savvy, it gives us hope that America’s days of “Umm, we have Bud and Bud Light” may finally be numbered.  27 Airport Square, North Wales, Pa. 215.361.2932. bonefishgrill.com

Lime Aid Not every Mexican beer needs fruit. Here’s why. By Brian Freedman // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

recious few stereotypes stick with more tenacity than the ones that deal with food and drink, No matter how inaccurate they may be. So, to clarify: All Jewish meals do not involve matzo balls. Italian food is infinitely more than pasta and gravy. Southern barbecue has absolutely nothing to do with burned skinless chicken breasts smothered with a tooth-yanking layer of sticky, high-fructose corn syrup labeled “BBQ sauce.” Indian food is made with ingredients other than curry. And so on. And the topic of this column: Not all Mexican beer benefits from a slice of lime. This is the perfect time of year for a little bit of clarification, since hot summer days are when most of us are likely to pop the crown off the top of a Corona—or, lord help you, a Corona Light. And, yes, a slice of lime is damn close to a necessity if that’s what you’re sipping. But Corona doesn’t need lime because it’s a Mexican beer; it gets one because the bottle is clear. Long story short, and skipping over all the chemistry involved, beer bottled in clear glass leaves it exposed to the potentially detrimental effects of sunlight, which can “skunk” them, aka make them go bad (real bad). Lime is a great way to cover up those nasty flavors

and aromas. (Also, Corona, which tastes like, well, not much, benefits from a lime to provide what connoisseurs, aficionados and cicerones refer to with the technical term “flavor,” as it possesses rather little of it on its own.) So the next time you order a Mexican beer that’s not bottled in clear glass, and you’re offered a wedge of lime with it, feel free to turn it down, or, at the very least, question it. If the bottle is green or brown, then the addition of citrus is pretty much unnecessary. (Witbiers and the like are a different story entirely.) So here we go: Tecate, Bohemia and Negra Modelo? No lime. Corona, Sol and Modelo Especial? Go for it. Just remember that simply because your beer was brewed in Mexico doesn’t mean it needs the help of a wedge of citrus fruit. It’s yet another stereotype with no basis in reality. 

BAR FERDINAND 1030 N. Second St. 215.923.1313. barferdinand.com Cuisine: Spanish. A recent menu started with a single deep-cupped oyster—the magnificently named Shoregasm— anointed with a spiced apple granita. It worked as an hors d’oeuvre, a warm-up lap and a palate-cleanser all at once, and was swiftly followed by housecured salmon. Three velvety slices, subtle with the aromas of soft herbs like mint, basil, dill and cilantro, were each wrapped around a spray of pea shoots exploding from their ends like cartoon contrails on an animated comet. The accompanying horseradish crema was a nice traditional touch, if not a terribly necessary one. (Brian Freedman)

MONDAYS: good tacos and drinks. Carne asada was the most familiar, the short ribs tender and deeply seasoned with cumin, as well as Worcestershire and soy. Taco al pastor is nearly halfway between dinner and dessert, the distinct whiff of cinnamon and clove in the tender chunks of pork combine with the pineapple in ways that are distinctly reminiscent of an old-school pineapple upside-down cake. Order two of these. The menu encourages overconsumption. On the drink tip: The margarita at El Loco Pez is a balanced gem, neither teethsuckingly tart nor cavity-causing sweet. (B.F.)

The Golden Gays PJ Raval’s poignant documentary on aging gays, Before You Know It, is one of the many films to catch at this year’s QFest. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

he QFest lineup for 2013 is as stellar as ever, and for 12 days this month, beginning Thursday, July 11, Philadelphia’s a much richer city as a result. And not just for queer folks. Yes, the onslaught of queer-themed cinema programming does wonders for our psyche and offers a week and a half of potential date destinations. But, as it turns out, the same things that affect queer people affect everyone else, too. The elements of loneliness, love, friendship, heartache and ambition aren’t exclusive to gays. With DOMA’s demise and the country abuzz with gay marriage acceptance, it’s becoming less and less anything that anyone cares about—straights are allowed to get down with gay stuff. It just means you have taste. To discuss the entire slate of QFest programming in this space is impossible; there are so many outstanding films that address vast swaths of life and culture—shorts, features, documentaries, dramas and comedies are all here, and they capture such themes as coming-of-age (Animals) and go-go boy veneration (The Go Doc Project). We picked a feature documentary by PJ Raval as a film to get into the essence of the festival’s great value, and caught up with the Texas-based director this week to discuss his newest, Before You Know It. With the outstanding success of last year’s How to Survive a Plague, we know that documentary is one of film’s ripest formats for mining deeply felt emotion, and Raval struck gold when he started exploring all of the intersections of life that bubble up around the stories of aging gays. In Before You Know It, three characters form a perfect triumvirate of narratives: Once-closeted Dennis is in his 70s, living in Florida and exploring gay retirement options in Portland, Ore.; Ty’s a marriage and LGBT activist in Harlem and directs outreach for Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE for short); and Robert runs a legendary bar in Galveston, Texas, called Robert’s Lafitte that specializes in no-frills drag and fostering community. Together, their stories offer a complete, vivid picture of the multi-generational gay struggle that maybe, after all, is becoming less of a fight at this moment in time. “We started filming in early 2009, and we officially stopped shooting in the summer of 2012 and premiered it March of 2013,” Raval tells PW. “We were shooting up until the very end, so it’s still very fresh.” It takes time to foster relationships with doc subjects, and Raval decided to take the camera out of his own hands—he’s also a decidedly accomplished cinematographer—and really engage with the life the film’s subjects were living. “You have to let life unfold, so it’s really impossible to just show up and capture someone’s life,” Raval explains. “With Dennis’ storyline, it was about two and a half years, but it’s also kind of necessary if you want that intimate access and that trust, and to really experience life in front of you. There’s a relationship that forms.” The prospect of capturing the essence of one human’s

struggles and getting them to be comfortably filmed without pretense is a daunting task, but one that Raval handles deftly and masterfully. Before You Know It touches on all different emotions and struggles: from loneliness and the stigma of singledom into late adulthood, to drag and its mysteriously magical power in the gay experience, to pride and the prospect of gay marriage. Marriage is one of the most fascinating and hot-button issues at play, and the result isn’t what you might expect. For the aging LGBT community, marriage is something they never thought would happen. Having seen every stage of civil equality under the sun, from segregation to voting rights to interracial unions, nonetheless couldn’t imagine it would be a reality in their lifetime, even in their wildest dreams. Like Ty says at one telling moment in Before You Know It, it’s like someone in the ‘70s imagining the prospect of something like an iPod. And then what do you do with the right once you’ve got it? “[Ty]’s very much, in his storyline, thinking it through. He’s never thought about [marriage] before, and these are discussions he and [his partner] had not had,” said Raval. “For me, I was really fascinated by the idea of things you hadn’t imagined happening in your life, and you have to react.” As it turns out, Raval caught Ty—at a Harlem house party awaiting the New York State Senate’s momentous

announcement of gay marriage—at the exact moment it became clear to him that he could marry his boyfriend. And to witness it is pure magic.  For more information on QFest, its participating films, screening times and locations, visit qfest.com.

Back to the Future

Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro’s imaginative robot action fantasy, will make you feel like a kid again. By Sean Burns // sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

The Lone Ranger

It’s Strange on the Range Beyond Johnny Depp’s Lone Ranger brownface lies one of his wittier performances.

eleased amid a perfect storm of production delays, budgetary nightmares and celebrity schadenfreude, Gore Verbinski’s oddball Western is already the kind of box-office disaster that becomes a punchline for late-night talk-show monologues. Too bad, because this is one fascinating film. The weirdest summer blockbuster to come down the pike in eons, The Lone Ranger is a bitterly cynical, Sergio Leone-styled bloodbath full of fairy-tale flourishes and slapstick interludes out of a silent comedy. I have no idea who this movie was made for, but I’m glad that I saw it. We begin in 1933, where Johnny Depp’s Tonto is slathered in Little Big Man old-age makeup. A statue come to life in an Old West museum exhibit, he spots a little kid dressed up as the title character and starts spinning a semi-coherent, fanciful yarn about what really went down between him and Kemo Sabe. Right away, Verbinski is positioning the picture as an alternative myth, a tall tale corrective to “printing the legend.” The Lone Ranger himself (played by Armie Hammer, doing a passable Judge Reinhold impression) is a blowhard and a bit of a dolt, stubbornly insisting on the rule of law on a frontier where corruption is a given and murder is a fact of life. A nefarious railroad baron (Tom Wilkinson) has hired a band of scruffy marauders to fake Comanche attacks on settlers, making it look like the tribe violated a treaty so he can take their land. It’s manifest destiny in action, complete with the U.S. cavalry mowing down hundreds of innocent Native Americans in a chilling, mid-movie set-piece. Depp caught a lot of flack as a white American daring to play Tonto, but look beyond all that, and you’ll find one of his wittier performances. Doing his best Buster Keaton deadpan while wearing Ace Frehley face-paint and a dead bird on his head, Tonto’s the half-mad survivor of a childhood massacre, craftily manipulating this “stupid white man” to aid his quest for revenge. Much like Verbinski’s Pirates pictures, there are too many characters, too many tangents, and the movie is at least half an hour too long. But The Lone Ranger’s massively overscaled production and bizarre tonal shifts exert a peculiar pull. The climactic action sequence, aping Keaton’s The General with runaway trains on parallel tracks, is one for the ages. This is a strange, subversive picture. (Sean Burns)

he beguiling thing about Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim is just how well thought out it all is. Yes, we’re talking about that new movie in which skyscraper-sized robots fend off attacks from gigantic Godzilla monsters. It’s a rock ‘em-sock ‘em display of mass distraction, but it has obviously been brooded over and mused upon for years by del Toro and his co-screenwriter, Travis Beacham. Pacific Rim exists in a complete, fully realized universe, which is a high compliment indeed for a movie that also feels like it was dreamed up by an 8-yearold splashing around with toys in the bathtub. To explain: In the not-too-distant future, shifting tectonic plates beneath the sea accidentally open up a portal to another dimension, so all of a sudden, we’ve got gargantuan Kaiju clomping their way up to the shore and stomping out major cities. Swatting away fighter jets like pesky flies, these super-sized lizards require a different kind of defense. Countries band together and build the Jaegers—enormous nuclear-powered robots so huge they must be operated by a duo of pilots connected through something called a “neural handshake drift.” Folks are electronically and psychically linked, working in tandem from a soundstage inside each Jaeger’s head, syncing up their movements like the world’s most destructive game of Dance Dance Revolution. Pacific Rim drops a metric ton of exposition in the first reel, almost throwing away dozens of fleet and hilarious asides covering the first five years of “The Kaiju War.” The opening title doesn’t appear onscreen for almost 20 minutes, after knocking back enough material for a prequel trilogy, plus an origin story so the film can properly begin in medias res several years down the road for humanity’s last stand. The Defense Department has shifted priorities to building a coastal wall that’s supposed to keep the Kaiju out, de-commissioning the Jaegers and leaving their hotshot pilots unemployed. The wall seemed like a good idea at the time, but these creatures are rapidly evolving and soon make short work of the obstruction. This leaves only four rusty Jaegers and a typically rag-tag band of hotshot pilots, commanded by Idris Elba’s hilariously brusque Stacker Pentecost. (This movie has such great names.) He’s pulled maverick pilot Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) out of self-imposed retirement for a last-ditch attempt to win the war by dropping a 280-megaton nuclear bomb into the dimensional portal. The underfunded rogue robot operation exists somewhere on the outskirts of Hong Kong, powered by an international cast of misfits and outcasts. Hunnam finds a kindred spirit in Rinko Kikuchi’s Mako Mori, a data processer promoted to co-pilot for this final mission. For intelligence purposes, we’ve got a couple of bickering scientists played by harumphy Burn Gorman and Charlie Day, of all people. They’re trying to use this “neural handshake” technology to mind-meld with a Kaiju brain that’s been kept alive inside a jar, and what I loved most about their lab is that it’s full of old-school classroom chalkboards instead of computer screens. That’s by far the most enjoyable thing about Pacific Rim’s impressive production design: Everything is so rusty and analog. There’s a junky, garage-sale feel to all the technology. Most problems can be solved by just pulling a plug, and the gear looks as well-worn and dented as the Millennium Falcon. Del Toro’s got a vintage World War II movie aesthetic at work here, complete with all the pilots dressing in bomber jackets and making cornpone speeches about saving the world. Dedicated to Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro Honda, Pacific Rim is madly in love with all those Creature Double Feature UHF channel

specials, ushering the man-in-lizard-suit kitsch into a new age of IMAX 3D digital filmmaking technology. It doesn’t always work. Hunnam in particular is a lousy lead, with a bloody awful American accent. But the details are so carefully layered in, it’s hard to complain, especially when del Toro regular Ron Perlman turns up as dapper sleazebag Hannibal Chau (What did I tell you about those names?), who made his fortune selling dead kaiju body parts on the black market. Guillermo del Toro has been missing from movies for way too long. We lost five years with him dicking around pre-production in Middle Earth before Peter Jackson Jay Leno-ed the hideous new Hobbit series all for himself. But he’s back with a vengeance here, and his imagination clearly knows no bounds. There’s a child-like glee to Pacific Rim that almost distracts from the expert craftsmanship. It’s dumb fun done smart. And it made me feel 8 years old again. 

MUSIC

A Rose is Still a Rose Advice for an on-lockdown Lauryn Hill.

t was just over a year ago, at last year’s Wawa Welcome America, that Philadelphia music lovers got to see multiple Grammy Award-winning Jersey girlgone-mad Lauryn Hill shine brightly and beautifully onstage. She surprised Fourth of July audiences, thanks to the Roots, with a souped-up, skin-tight performance of songs from her widely acclaimed debut solo LP, 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, the album that propelled her to the heights from which she’s fallen with almost equal force. Hill’s three-month term for tax evasion began early Monday, when she reported to Connecticut’s Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury. Doesn’t matter that she paid nearly $1 million in back taxes; she pleaded guilty, got her sentence and now, as it were, is facing the music. We’ll miss you, lady. But hell, we’ve been missing the artist we fell in love with for nearly a decade. Like the Jackson 5 said, we want you back. So, in the spirit of love, here are five pieces of advice from my dad—who found himself in a federal “halfway house” after a crackreasoned plot to counterfeit money while I was in high school. Meditate. If allowed, that is. If it isn’t, steal five minutes while still in bed each morning. Get your head right before facing a day filled with potential triggers. Practice detachment. It’s painfully, powerfully obvious that you don’t separate who you are from what you do, and it’s admirable that you still consider the legions who love you as fans, not just customers. (See, Jay-Z? It’s possible.) But sisterfriend, if it’s your goal to sell records, you’ve got to detach from them once they’re birthed. Maybe that’ll improve your output? Start a nonprofit organization for suffering people through which you can pay yourself and your folk nearly a third of the charity’s donations. Or not, since Wyclef’s got that lane covered. Embrace the lesson, whatever it is. Even if it’s just “Geez, I better get myself an accountant who will not tolerate my bullshit,” be open to whatever the Universe has on its chalkboard. Write, write, write. Well, you certainly don’t need that advice from the likes of me. But instead of songs, pen a book/screenplay/mini-series/eventual HBO megahit about your experience, not Rita Marley’s. She already wrote her biography; we want to read yours. Chris Rock will produce the film or series; Ava Duvernay will direct it, and Adepero Oduye and Patina Miller can battle on the mic for the lead. Olivia Pope, my foot—a partially fictionalized L. Boogie character would have that night, even against the non-president’s nonwoman, on lock. (Kenya Beverly)

Rich Quick

Get Rich Quick

You won’t be mad. The South Jersey MC is prepping his debut EP, Sad Songz. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

et’s get the obvious out of the way with a quickness: Rich Quick is a white rapper from New Jersey. Long gone, we hope, are the days where being Caucasian in the rap game matters at all; skilled mic rockers like 3rd Bass’ MC Serch and Eminem took the bite out of that beef ages ago. Hip-hop’s not any one culture’s possession, an idea Quick expressed early on in a Doobie’s meet-up on Monday night. “Hip-hop culture encompasses all cultures,” he says. And with the pretty hefty success of white boys like Macklemore, Mac Miller and Asher Roth, Quick’s ready to put his hat in the ring and have his name tacked on to such a list. With a flurry of shows coming up and an EP prepped to drop on Aug. 20, Quick’s bracing himself for the biggest summer of his life. His debut, Sad Songz, is a five-track EP Quick recorded at ChopShop studios in Langhorne, and it’s set for distribution through Ben Frank Recordings. It’s a bit of a departure; as you might imagine by the title, these are expressive songs with emotional import, unafraid to reveal a deeper lyrical ambition beyond the easy tropes and stereotypes of hip-hop lyrical content, like expensive cars, cheap girls and designer clothes. Quick’s been gaining momentum over the past few years in a relatively hardcore sub-sector of Philly hip-hop, getting love from both the hood and hip-hop diehards who value how hard you can bring the pain. Still, those looking for a trap-rap record won’t find one. “Sad Songz is just one side of me,” Quick warns. “People are going to be disappointed if they’re looking for a hardcore emcee.” On this one, at least. The 25-year-old South Jersey native has spent his whole life within spitting distance of Philadelphia and has found himself in “the city” almost every day for years. That 15-minute drive has allowed him to start earning credibility since he first stepped into a cypher in North Philly. And as Quick put it, “If you can’t jump into a cypher, what the hell are you here for?” Quick’s first official release after unofficial collaborations and mixtapes—his I’m With the DJ collection has helped drum up intrigue and fans—is also the first product of a production relationship with STREECE, the duo of Stress the Whiteboy and

beloved local musician Chuck Treece. Quick was a fan of theirs before they found him performing at a Johnny Brenda’s event called Beats & Rhymes, which paired emcees with producers. Stress was in the building to support his little brother, rapper Sev-One, and approached Quick to invite him into the studio. Quick was pumped (and still is) to continue working with the beatmaking duo, and their resultant EP is, indeed, quite nicely produced. Take “Nice Guy,” for instance, a hype beat that’s a little tropical and dubstep-esque, but in that trip-hop, drum ‘n bass way. It’s a track that has a freshness to it, but isn’t an obvious trend ride. Quick’s aware of trends; you have to be. In the way that he knows Jay-Z’s been setting trends for years (“Jay-Z puttin’ on a button-down shirt changed the game,” Quick says), he’s also pretty sure that Macklemore is not a trend that’s gonna last. He also sees some wholesale theft of the look and style of Slug from Atmosphere, who Quick openly admits has a direct influence on his career—something Macklemore’s never done. But you’ve gotta know what people are feeling. Macklemore does deserve some credit for getting a hiphop song about same-sex love on the radio (“Same Love”), but Quick doesn’t like the idea of conscious rap. “Is the rest of hip-hop unconscious?” he asks. “Did Eminem not write songs that were conscious?” Quick definitely doesn’t like the use of words prevalent in hip-hop, namely the n- and f-words. “I find it distasteful myself, so I don’t use it,” he offered. Simple. “Ignorance never prevails. Why would you turn people off like that?” Good point. But, conversely, being associated with conscious rappers like anyone on Rhymesayers, or, say Talib Kweli—whom Quick’s flow resembles significantly, I suggest to him—isn’t something Philly hip-hop’s rising star is particularly mad at. “Talib’s a huge influence on me,” he admits, “so that’s a huge compliment.”  Sun., July 14, 8pm. $8-$10.

LOUDER THAN HELL: THE DEFINITIVE ORAL HISTORY OF METAL

The Gifted (Maybach/Atlantic) Sounds like: The D.C. emcee’s one of those rare hip-hop artists whose debut may have been his best. His third isn’t bad; it’s got a few keepers. But he’s a lil’ tired. Free association: A case study in the Rick Rossification of medium-talented rappers. For fans of: Kid Cudi/2 Chainz/Meek Mill/ Kanye + Nicki, radio jamz. (Bill Chenevert)

ZOMBY With Love (4AD) Sounds like: The mysterious British knobtwister, beat-maker and producer doesn’t need to give us any more info—just songs. Because this batch is sickening. Free association: The cream of the crop, raising the bar for weird electronic euphoria For fans of: SBTRKT x Darkstar + Actress, Burial/Zed’s Dead, anti-Skrillex talent. (B.C.)

THE LEISURE SOCIETY Alone Aboard the Ark (Full Time Hobby) Sounds like: The fourth from Nick Hemming’s U.K. folk pop act is a lovely listen; albeit somber and serious at times, it’s always pretty and thoughtful. Free association: Another strong folk family in the British acoustic family tree. For fans of: Belle & Sebastian x Badly Drawn Boy, Sufjan/The Sea and Cake, acoustic beards. (B.C.)

JOHN SCOFIELD Uberjam Deux (EmArcy) Sounds like: Excellence, as always, from the 61-year-old Ohio axe master who always employs the right studio help for blissful, funky and groove-heavy jazz rock. Free association: He may be a balding, aging man, but his mellow hands know no age. For fans of: Pat Metheny/Bill Frisell, John Medeski + BB King/the Meters. (B.C.)

CSS Planta (SQE Music) Sounds like: The fourth from the ladies of Sao Paolo doesn’t have the energy and dance friendliness of past efforts, but it’s still a cool, electronically funky affair. Free association: Their first’s still a paragon of what dance-punk girls should aspire to. For fans of: Gossip x Brazilian Girls + Le Tigre/Os Mutantes, ambivalent party girls. (B.C.)

SPEEDY ORTIZ Major Arcana (Carpark Records) Sounds like: This full-length debut of a poetry masters student’s side project is fantastically loud, sloppy yet tight and chaotic. Free association: Ever wondered what Pavement tracks sang by a girl would sound like? For fans of: Denali x Pixies + Sonic Youth, Pylon with Eleanor Friedberger (B.C.)

Comedy Bang! Bang!

CAMP Wednesdays, 10pm, NBC Captive audience: Glee defectors; people who like reminiscing about all the freaky shit they did at summer camp; guys who think Rachel Griffiths is a MILF. Moment of truth: And now, in the Shows-I-Hate-to-Admit-I-Kinda-Like Dept., here comes this new, dramedy whatzit that’s obviously after the teen/young-adult crowd that’s been fleeing Glee. Six Feet Under’s Rachel Griffiths stars as the recentlydivorced owner of a struggling summer camp, a camp that’s filled with rowdy kids and horny teen counselors. I wanna loathe the show for its soapy teen melodrama and jukebox soundtrack selections, but it does have a likable, empathetic spirit to it. As much as I detest seeing young people do young-people shit, this show grudgingly has my respect. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (Craig D. Lindsey)

THE BRIDGE Wednesdays, 10pm, FX Captive audience: Police-procedural watchers; fans of Texas-based neo-noir; people who have varying forms of autism spectrum. Moment of truth: FX’s latest edgy, pulpy new drama is an adaptation of a Danish/ Swedish crime drama about a murder investigated on the border of Sweden and Denmark. The American version is about a murder investigated on the border of Texas and Mexico. Diane Kruger’s possibly autistic El Paso cop and Demian Bichir’s seen-it-all Juarez lawman are the detectives who reluctantly team up on the case. While future, clichéd-in-some-instances episodes aren’t as spotless as its knockout pilot, the show’s mix of moody suspense, dark humor and socially relevant storytelling makes this a show worth watching. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (C.D.L.)

By Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman (HarperCollins) In summary: An initially intriguing look at how a music genre was born quickly gives way to a story that repeats itself every hundred pages. Various sorts of metal musicians (thrash, glam, nu, etc.) discuss—in an impressive collection of interviews from multiple sources— their inspirations, beginnings, rises, falls, in-fighting and drug abuse within chapters that have hard titles like “Youth Gone Wild” and “In the Nightside Eclipse.” One of the main takeaways of the book is how many of these bands share similar origin stories and trajectories. It is like the monomyth of metal music: A band forms from divergent backgrounds, encounters initial resistance from predecessors and unfamiliars, becomes famous amongst in-fighting and rampant drug abuse, then settles into mediocrity, death or legend. Many of the musicians do not understand how their highly disruptive behavior paints them as really tall children with poor impulse controls. In one instance, Motley Crüe’s Vince Neil plays the pity card after it is revealed he was responsible for the death of Hanoi Rocks’ drummer, Nicholas Dingley, when he drove drunk. Neil was sad that his bandmates didn’t support his sobriety on tour, you know, after spending only 15 days in jail. The most fascinating part of Louder Than Hell is reading these people poetically describe their music immediately after they try to justify keeping photo albums of women who are in the process of sucking their dicks. It’s amazing. Akin to: National Geographic via Groundhog Day. Author fun fact: Members of Alice in Chains threatened to kick Wiederhorn’s ass after his Rolling Stone cover story depicted frontman Layne Staley as a total junkie. Six years later, Staley died weighing less than 90 pounds. (Michael Brady)

PRESENTS

COMEDY BANG! BANG! Fridays, 10pm, IFC Captive audience: Podcast listeners; alt-comedy nerds; people who like their humor both smart and stupid. Moment of truth: The anti-talk show version of the comedy podcast returns for a second season, which definitely does not skimp on the mega-absurd, ultra-surreal silliness. Host Scott Aukerman gets such celebrity guests as Andy Samberg, Aziz Ansari and Sarah Silverman to join in the silliness with him, while bandleader Reggie Watts (the coolest talk-show bandleader with an Afro—next to Questlove, of course) comes up with goofy, on-the-spot grooves. Its random, nutty humor may not go over well with a lot of people, but I laughed my head off. And, if you’re into that sort of thing, you will too. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (C.D.L.)

I am a 29-year-old lesbian. My best friend has an incredibly hot sister to whom I am very attracted. Let’s call her Gladys. Gladys is about 10 years older than me and happily married to a man. We talk about life on Facebook and text each other frequently. Recently, things have gotten a bit more flirtatious. I am dying to say to her, “I am super-attracted to you, and I don’t want to assume anything about your agreements with your hubby. If you ever want to explore your sexuality with a girl, I would love to be that girl.” It seems like a delicate situation. I love my best friend’s entire family. I love their mom. I have spent holidays at their house and vacationed with them. I don’t want to embarrass myself. But I know she couldn’t ask me that same thing. It just wouldn’t be right from her side, since I am her little sister’s best friend. Is there a way to roll this out? Lesbian Under Straight Tease

Let’s do a quick risk/reward analysis, LUST. By hitting on this woman, you’re risking your relationship with your best friend, your best friend’s sister, your best friend’s mom and all future family holiday/ vacation invites for the potential reward of getting into the pants of your best friend’s hot married older sister once or twice. Seems like a lot to risk if you ask me, LUST, and you did. That said, there are a lot of married bi women out there. But if Gladys has an open relationship with her husband—or if they’re actively searching for a unicorn—it would be better if they made the first move. So keep flirting and live in hope. A girl I worked with introduced me to your podcast a couple of months ago. You must get this email (or variations on it) all the time, but I wanted to say thank you for the Savage Lovecast. It has made me feel a lot more comfortable about some of the things I like to do, consensually, with my loving GGG boy. My girlfriends sometimes turn their noses up at some of the sexual stuff I’ve tried or mentioned being interested in trying. The calls and guest experts on your podcast make me feel so much more normal, and my boyfriend loves that I’ve recently become a lot more open about the things I want to do. I don’t have a question, Dan; I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you and the tech-savvy at-risk youth do every week. Eager Nice Girl Living In Scottish Highlands Thanks for the lovely note, ENGLISH, and tell your boyfriend I said hello. And remember, dear readers, if you’re not listening to my weekly podcast— check out our brand-new site at savagelovecast. com—you’re not getting your full, weekly dose of Savage Love. 

I’m a straight guy with a long-term girlfriend who has a choking fetish. She needs to be choked during sex to get off. I’m more of a vanilla kind of dude, but in the spirit of being GGG, I’ve been doing this for her. The thing is, it kind of scares me. I don’t particularly get off on it, and it actually brings out parts of me that I don’t like. More importantly, I’m really scared of hurting her. Recently while on vacation, hotel security was called because our neighbors thought I was assaulting her, as she’s a screamer and likes to struggle during sex. I’m trying to be GGG, but now it feels like every fuck needs to be a rape scene, complete with choking. She doesn’t like it any other way. I don’t want to accidentally hurt her or kill her and wind up in jail, but she’s dismissive when I share my concerns. My friends in the BDSM scene scold me and say that breath play is never OK. Your thoughts? Throat Harm Really Obsesses This Terrific Lady Entirely

•

You had a one-night stand, and the dude wouldn’t let you spend the night, and now you’re having a meltdown about it. Why this reaction? Because before you could give yourself permission to fuck this guy, you had to convince yourself that this encounter wasn’t, in fact, about two people using each other. Like a lot of people who want to have onenight stands—men and women, gay and straight, locals and tourists—you psyched yourself up to believe that you two had some sort of meaningful insta-connection. (“I thought he was so sweet.”) You convinced yourself that if circumstances were different—if you were single, if you lived in Costa Rica— you could see yourself dating this guy. You rounded this dude up to boyfriend material, TURISTA, but the way he treated you after the sex was over—“OK, lady, back to the hotel”—stripped away your illusions: He was a player, and you had been played. Was your reaction sex-negative? Yes, it was. Are you slut-shaming yourself? Yes, you are. You did something kind of sleazy on vacation, TURISTA, just like millions of other people before you, and you misjudged someone. But who hasn’t? As for why he kicked you out, TURISTA, I couldn’t tell you. Maybe he’s in a relationship that’s “not necessarily exclusive,” and his girlfriend was coming over in the morning and wouldn’t appreciate finding a turista—yet another one—in his bed.

at risk of cardiac arrest ... I know of no reliable way to determine when such a cardiac arrest becomes imminent. If the recipient does arrest, the probability of resuscitating them, even with optimal CPR, is small.” Even if choking weren’t dangerous—posts about people accidentally killing themselves during solo choking scenes appear on fetish blogs with depressing regularity—being this woman’s boyfriend/assailant has to be tedious. Even if choking were safe, THROTTLE, you need to ask yourself if you wanna spend the rest of your life with someone who’s as inconsiderate, selfish and sexually limited as your girlfriend seems to be.

I’m a 26-year-old straight female. I just fucked a guy while on holiday in Costa Rica. I thought I was sex-positive and adventurous, so why do I feel so ashamed? I’m dating a boy back in the U.S. who I absolutely adore, but we’re not necessarily exclusive. The guy was a 22-year-old local—I thought he was so sweet. But he did that bullshit “fuck her and then get her out of bed and drive her home” shit. I told him it wasn’t OK, and he made excuses. I feel so fucking pathetic right now. Is this because I did something stupid? Is this a natural feeling? Or is it a result of some deep psychological self-induced slutshaming? Why would he kick me out like that?
