November and December are loaded with tons of potentially intriguing titles, most of which will have screened at either the Toronto or New York film festivals long before their respective releases. But potential Oscar-winners aside, there are plenty of genre popcorn entertainments to get excited about, not the least of which are the return of James Bond, Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, Peter Jackson’s return to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, and Quentin Tarantino tackling a Sergio Leone-style Western. Oh yeah, Bella and Edward finally see their romance come to its supposedly

SGN Emmy preview

Jim Parsons and Jesse Ferguson are the only Gay actors in major races this year

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer 2012 PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS ABC-TV September 23, 4 p.m. PT Where have all the Gay actors gone?

Glancing over the list of 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards nominees, one immediately notices the scarcity of LGBT community representatives compared to the past few years. Jim Parsons, who officially came out a few months ago, could win his third gold statuette for his role on The Big Bang Theory. Jesse Tyler Ferguson could land his first for playing whiny, nelly Mitchell Pritchett on Modern Family. But aside from them, it’s a pretty straight lineup – Neil Patrick Harris, Jane Lynch, Alan Cumming, and Chris Colfer, all in the running last year, didn’t make the cut this time around. Still, there are some incredibly tight races that will be decided Sunday night when awards for TV’s finest are given out. The ceremony will be broadcast live, just like the Oscars, for the first time ever, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting. Here are my picks in the top categories.

DRAMA SERIES Nominees: Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Mad Men, Homeland, Game of Thrones Will Win: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, or Homeland. There’s real drama this year for the big prize, with two standout AMC shows and an HBO upstart vying for the honor. Mad Men could win a record fifth in a row.

Should Win: Breaking Bad. Mad Men was excellent last season – that LSD episode was a trip! Homeland is gritty and intense. But there’s nothing else on TV like Breaking Bad, and the fourth season was pure genius.

COMEDY SERIES Nominees: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Girls, 30 Rock, Veep, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory Will Win: Modern Family. A three-peat is inevitable for this mainstream sitcom, still laugh-out-loud hilarious after three seasons – the “Tableau Vivant” episode had me rolling. This is top-notch comedy.

Should Win: Girls. Slightly better than Modern Family last year was Lena Dun-

leaders bring followers into their fold, or how supporters manipulate events to make their beliefs more real and tactile even when all evidence points to the contrary. Instead, he wants to maintain focus on discourse, on how we tackle differing opinions. It is the state of interpersonal communication, I think, that is most on the director’s mind, events throughout the picture showcasing the different styles each character uses to get their respective point of view across.

I could be wrong, of course, and like all great cinema The Master requires – demands – multiple viewings to completely understand its meaning. But for me, many of the conversations taking place between Dodd, his wife, Quell and with others, both

TOP-NOTCH ACTING Speaking of feral, Phoenix is outstanding. This is the kind of titanic, superhuman performance that defies any sort of pigeonholing or easy descriptions. He doesn’t care if the audience likes Freddie, doesn’t give a crap if anyone relates to him. All the same, he digs into corners of the man’s recesses that are as uncomforting as they are mesmerizing, everything moving in a calamitous direction impossible to avoid and even more difficult to predict. The emotions he mines, the places he allows himself to go, all of it is as freewheeling and as unpredictable as they come.

Hoffman and Adams equal him, and to say all three are immediate Oscar frontrunners is something of an understatement. But what they’re doing, the balance they are attempting to maintain, all of it runs in fascinating contradiction to Phoenix’s high-wire act. It’s an astonishing bit of acting prowess, each actor attempting something here that’s as exhilarating as it is dazzling.

With Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, and especially There Will Be Blood, Anderson has already announced himself as an old-school cinematic auteur of the first degree. Here, his attention to detail, his handling of all technical aspects including cinematography, production design, music, and editing, is, in a word, extraordinary. As bewildering and as perplexing as the meaning behind it all might be, the sense of control – the feeling that not a single facet of this production is out of place or not exactly what the director intended – is never in doubt.

I can’t say The Master will be for everyone. I can’t say all who see it will wander out of the theater feeling a sense of euphoria or exhilaration. But that doesn’t make the film any less spectacular or any less essential. Anderson’s opus is easily his most challenging yet, and the food for thought it puts on the table is a sumptuous banquet any cinephile worth their salt owes it to themself to taste.

THE MASTER Opens September 21 Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master isn’t an easy sit. Its themes are all over the map and what it’s talking about is never entirely clear. Most of all, it’s never a certainty whose story it is trying to tell. There are three characters competing for screen time – two of them sharing numerous tête-à-têtes and one of them in roughly 90 percent of the scenes – all of them at one point or another the central figure driving the narrative. In other words, this movie is a challenge, so don’t say you weren’t warned before buying your ticket.

Here’s hoping numerous movie lovers do just that. The Master is one of the most invigorating, thought-provoking, gloriously acted, and meticulously composed motion pictures I’ve ever seen.

The film is a psychological whirligig leaping from idea to idea, thought to thought, and concept to concept with wildly invigorated abandon.

Anderson never misses a beat, never allows a step to be out of place, all the while presenting a scenario that’s as tough-minded as it is ephemeral.

The basics concern a psychologically scarred World War II vet named Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) with a penchant for self-destruction and a talent for transforming the most noxious of liquids, like gasoline or paint thinner, into strongly pungent alcoholic blends guaranteed to produce instantaneous intoxication. By chance or by fate, he comes across Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and his latest wife, Peggy (Amy Adams). Dodd runs around the country with his family in tow, extolling the

virtues of his book The Cause, a belief system he’s come up with that supposed helps those who follow it master their emotions and take control of their lives.

Why does Lancaster take Freddie in?

What does he see in him that makes him want to care for the man and bring him into the Dodd family fold? Is he nothing more than a lost puppy – someone the charismatic leader, who some believe is dangerous char-

latan, can command and control at whim?

Or is he a comrade, a potential fellow leader who can help The Cause enter the mainstream, increasing the group’s following through his dedication and devotion?

A STUDY IN COMMUNICATION To be frank, The Master does not answer, at least not fully, any of these questions.

More importantly, however, is that it doesn’t actually need to. It is the debate – the discussions generated, how people converse one to another – that is the focal point of the majority of the narrative.

For my money, I believe Anderson isn’t so much interested in religion or cults or psychological scars, isn’t enamored with how

September 21, 2012

followers of The Cause and those who stand against it, all signify Anderson’s belief as to how modern forms of communication and debate have failed us. The setting may be shortly after World War II, but how people react to one another, the way they lash out, the way they embrace their opinions even when all evidence shows them false, could just as easily be those showcased on today’s cable news programs or within our era’s political debates. What begins as intelligent reasoning quickly morphs into angry recrimination, with understanding almost impossible to come by when otherwise rational people become feral nincompoops impossible to comprehend.

On the Road – Walter Salles’ (The Motorcycle Diaries) star-studded (Amy Adams, Garrett Hedlund, Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart, Steve Buscemi, Sam Riley, Terrence Howard) adaptation of the iconic Jack Kerouac novel finally hits the screen for its general release, the director supposedly having tinkered mightily with it after its premiere at Cannes and before its recent screening in Toronto.

Buffy Sainte-Marie rocks Triple Door

by Mercy Moosemuzzle SGN A&E Writer Reality joined Mercy for the sold-out concert by Buffy Sainte-Marie at the Triple Door, September 10. He said “There are a lot of old folkies in the audience.” Mercy added, “Like us.”

Sainte-Marie has 18 albums out. Her newest one is Running for the Drum. The evening of folk and original songs was satisfying. Buffy has a powerful voice.

She opened with “Piney Wood Hills. Following nicely were “Cho Cho Fire,” “Cripple Creek,” “I’m Gonna Be A Country Girl Again,” “Generation,” “Mister Can’t You See,” “Up Where We Belong,” “Universal Soldier,” “Not the Lovin’ Kind,” “Little Wheel Spin and Spin,” “Until It’s Time for You To Go,” “Blue Sunday,” “ Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” and “Starwalker.”

Reality noted, “At 72, she has more energy than most 20-year-olds.” Buffy earned a standing ovation.

PAT METHENY UNITY BAND Reality joined Mercy for the Pat Metheny Unity Band at Jazz Alley, September 13.

The performance was mellow jazz.

Metheny’s guitar was phenomenal. Sax

by Chris Potter was delicious. Ben Williams’ bass was funky. Drums by Antonio Sanchez were rhythmic. Reality said,

“Metheny is one of the great musicians. The group clearly listens to each other.”

They opened with “The Sound of Water,” featuring guitar. “Come and See” had solos

by Potter, Williams, and Metheny. “Roof Dogs” was ornamented by Pat, Chris, and Antonio.

“New Year” featured guitar and sax.

“This Belongs to You” featured Pat, Chris, and Antonio. Solos by guitar and sax ornamented “Interval Waltz.” The band received a standing ovation.

STORM VS. SUN Mercy missed the last game, but Cuteness reported: The Seattle Storm made a valiant effort to win the game against the Connecticut Sun, playing on their home turf September 16. Coming off of a three-loss road trip, the Key Arena crowd had high hopes. Alas, it was not to be – Connecticut won by two in the last 14 seconds of the game for a final score of 60-58.

The Storm pulled ahead in the last few minutes of the game, with a nice shot by guard Katie Smith for a 58-54 lead. Shekinna Stricklen was the game’s high scorer with 12 points. The crowd cheered wildly, hoping for a miracle finish. The seconds ticked away, one missed opportunity here, another stumble there – how can two minutes seem like such an eternity? The lead suddenly slipped away.

Cuteness likes to say, “Free throws count

Buffy Sainte-Marie

– they can make or break the game.” Such was the case when the Sun made the last two free throws (on a foul by Camille Little) to win. Stricklen gets a high-five for her attempt at a very long-shot three-pointer at the buzzer. She missed, but kudos to her for heaving the ball down the court. There was a collective sigh from the fans.

Once again, the Storm played without the injured Sue Bird (left hip flexor) and Lauren Jackson (right hamstring). Expectations are that both players will return to the lineup soon. Despite being headed for their first losing season since 2002, the team has

clinched a spot in the Western Conference playoffs.

COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA Mercy is looking forward to seeing the Count Basie orchestra at Jazz Alley, where they will appear September 30 and October 1. Founded by Count Basie, who died in 1984, today the orchestra is directed

by Dennis Mackrel and features vocalist Carmen Bradford. Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald are among the past legends who have performed with Basie. The orchestra has won 17 Grammies.

Puppets and protest ‘This Land’ captures the songs but not the soul of Woody Guthrie

by Miryam Gordon SGN A&E Writer

THIS LAND – WOODY GUTHRIE STRAWBERRY THEATRE WORKSHOP Through October 6 Greg Carter clearly reveres the late, great folk singer Woody Guthrie. Guthrie em-

Theatre Workshop, is a master puppet maker, and the puppets used in the production are stunningly beautiful and evocative, with veiny, arthritic old hands and craggy, worn faces. He also chose many excerpts of Guthrie’s prose-writing to interweave with Guthrie’s songs and present the singer’s worldview in more detail.

One spends the first few minutes marjohn ulman

bodied the mission of a folk musician to champion the people, both by singing about common hardships and by expressing the need for change. Carter mounted a version of this show in 2004 as Strawberry Theatre Workshop’s inaugural production, though he first developed it in 1993 at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre in Minneapolis.

Carter, artistic director of Strawberry

veling at the puppetry and enjoying the expert musical arrangements of Edd Key, who channels Guthrie’s style in his singing.

We’re introduced to a long excerpt of prose, broken into several pieces, which is meant to evoke Guthrie’s yearning to express something profound and fundamental – a word that encompasses all other words.

This sets the tone for the remainder of the work, which becomes an almost inarticulate message – muddied rather than clearly

painted. In the program, Carter expresses a wish that the story being told is about us, the audience. Yet, without a narrative, it’s merely a collection of Woody’s expressive art.

Since Carter conceived and curated this work, it would have been interesting to see what another director might have done with it, from a less emotionally connected perspective. A challenge to Carter’s choices (e.g., why this song? why here? why this length?) could have sharpened his focus. Instead, a number of pieces lag, as the intended point is made quickly but then lingered over far too long.

Guthrie is perhaps a more challenging composer today than he was 50 years ago.

His values would likely be labeled “communist” or “socialist” even more readily nowadays than they were back then, and his support of unions, immigrants, farm workers, and coal miners would enrage the Tea Party. In fact, the clearest message of the evening is how much has stayed similar to what Guthrie sang about years ago.

There is little humor here. One amusing detail is that Guthrie wrote “This Land Is Your Land” out of fury at the popularity of

“God Bless America,” with its treacly sentiment that God’s hand is on the nation “so don’t you worry none.” But it is useful to be reminded of the extreme poverty of Dust Bowl America, the exploitation of children in coal mines, and the deaths of more than 100 women in the 1911 New York City Triangle Shirtwaist Fire (locked in by managers who didn’t want them leaving their stations to get drinks of water). The racism of yesterday is still present today, and politics hasn’t gotten any cleaner.

The players all pull their weight in an effort to make this work sing. While it doesn’t end up being a call to arms, or a historically clear path from yesterday to today, or even a revelation about its subject, it is still a worthy effort – one that could be made to have more of a conscious impact.

War’s hidden legacy Thieu Tran’s one-man play sheds light on the Vietnamese refugee experience

by Miryam Gordon SGN A&E Writer

LaRae Lobdell

UNCLE HO TO UNCLE SAM ACT THEATRE Through October 7 Trieu Tran delivers a harrowing solo show encapsulating his sorrow-laden tale – the “real” story of Vietnam War refugees. Certainly, it’s the closest most of us will ever get to 1975 Vietnam, when Saigon, the capital of the South, fell to the Northern forces.

Tran was born that year, he relates, and his family was caught up in the partisan slaughter, though he was too little to understand much other than that the Viet Cong were the bogeymen and could reach out and grab him from any bush, at any moment. His father is the one who is captured, though, and a searing image from being brought to see him at age 4 is described – his father cruelly tied to a post, clearly having been tortured.

There is an elemental viciousness winding throughout Tran’s descriptions. Tran’s father, who somehow manages to escape and ends up in Canada, is angry and vicious toward anyone non-Asian – and later, toward his son. Tran’s own journey, from a Viet Cong re-education camp to a Thailand refugee camp and finally to America, is a savage trip where life becomes a trade-off and blood is always part of the price. His introduction to the West is brutal both at home and outside, as he learns there are two Americas: one for whites and one for “everyone else.”

It is a testament to survival through circumstances that might sink lesser souls, and most spectacularly a tribute to his mother – who is so intent on keeping her family together that she goes to find her husband even though she understands he has a new woman. Then, when her husband is killed, she forges a new life in Boston, working two jobs to support her children.

Tran struggles with alienation in America, finding hope and solace in hip-hop – particularly the lyrics of Tupac Shakur – which allows moments of lightness to switch up the gloom of his story. His turbulent life continues through high school, where he meets a young woman he can fall in love with even though she is white, and who introduces him to Shakespeare. The implication is that this development is lifechanging, though unfortunately we aren’t told why or given the chance to understand what has happened since.

We know, simply because Tran stands before us, that he has embraced theater and acting as a career – among other roles, he is an ensemble player on the exciting HBO series Newsroom. But the play stops at Tran’s repossession of his father’s ashes. Sure, it’s a 95-minute production, and not everything can be told. And granted, the theme of the evening is Tran’s search for understanding Trieu Tran of his relationship with his father.

Azzopardi: What was your high school experience? Were you out then?

Miller: Yeah, definitely. But I wasn’t shouting it out. I was unabashedly me. I was always having to leave high school, though, because I started working, so that was pulling me out of school. When I’d come back, there was a certain resentment: “You are no longer one of us. You have betrayed our pack.” And I dropped out of high school when I was 16 years old because, first of all, the form and function of the schooling system never made any sense to me in the context of education, but also there was some ostracizing at play. At that point in my youth experience, I knew that feeling all too well.

like I had a bunch to learn from the character I just played, and then I came to the unfortunate conclusion that he was a fictional character and he didn’t exist. I mean, to be able to hold your dignity and your pride, and to be able to empower yourself and love yourself in high school, is a feat.

Azzopardi: That scene where you stand up for yourself in the lunchroom was probably something that hit close to home.

Miller: Yeah. You picture that moment where you effectively fight back, but then of course Patrick does, in that situation, end up getting held and pummeled and sort of relentlessly beaten on – that’s a reality, too.

You can cultivate all of the courage and pride and power to stand up for yourself and still get beat to a pulp. I had that experience a few times.

That scene was so important to everyone – to [director] Stephen [Chbosky] but really to [co-star] Johnny [Simmons] and myself.

Having experienced things like that in our lives, we were really determined to get some bruises to make that fight brutal, the way that sort of peer-inflicted violence is – just horribly brutal.

Azzopardi: Bullying is brutal, and it’s

w e e k o f S e p t e m b e r 21 - S e p t e m b e r 27

ARIES (March 20 – April 19): “All’s fair in love and war,” but there are consequences that go beyond victory. Beware of collateral damage to your reputation and other regrets. Are you really fighting for something worthwhile, or do you just need to assert yourself somehow? Think ahead.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Cleaning house or digging up family secrets can expose a lot more than you bargained for. Someone, probably your partner, will not be pleased. Jealousy is useless and destructive. Keeping your home together may require a new open-mindedness.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): A winning streak in love and other games won’t last long, but enjoy it while it does. Be careful, though. Too much fun could upset your partner, or botch your efforts to start something new. Listen to your friends, but don’t trust all of them.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): The need to assert yourself can run you afoul of authority. It may be more strategic in the long run to let your boss steal the credit for your ideas. Deserved accolades will come your way in time.

LEO (July 23 – August 22): You may indeed have all the answers, but don’t be too eager to share them. Let people figure things out for themselves and you might even learn something in the process. Deal with small health problems before they become large ones.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): You could be in for a raise. Make very nice with people who decide that, but more importantly, make sure your true value is clear to see. Promotions bring bigger challenges. Don’t be intimidated or over-eager. Size up the situation carefully before acting.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Popularity is a double-edged sword. Invitations from friends can cause friction with your family and mate. If your partner suggests that some of your pals are taking advantage of you, he or she is probably right.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Your efforts to get ahead will be noticed, but they will also highlight your faults and mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. Your best strategy is to ask your boss or another expert for help where you need improvement.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): If you’re looking for a lover, look among your friends. If you have one, get him or her to socialize more with your pals. In love and friendship, think about who you want to be with 12 years from now.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Reality is about to lose those clean definitions you love so dearly. You can gain empathy and foresight, but like any new skill these can be challenging at first. Yes, you are going a little crazy, but that can be a brilliant adventure.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Secrets will be revealed. Keep your mouth shut about others – especially at work! Focus on digging up your own secrets with a counselor or a trusted confidante, and you could free yourself from old fears and anxieties.

PISCES (February 19 – March 19): You have lots of opportunities to indulge fleeting passions, but don’t mistake them for love. Life is about to get a bit harder and more serious. You’ll need to define and focus your goals, and that will take time. Don’t make snap decisions now.

obviously become an epidemic in the last few years. What do you think young people who are victims of bullying might find empowering about Patrick?

Miller: I’m hoping that there could be a theoretical audience member who could watch Patrick in this fearless state of selfpreservation and rebellion and come to the thought that anyone who dares to cultivate the courage to stand up for themselves has immediately already won the battle. The second you endow yourself to be your own best protector – your own best friend, your own best lover – you’ve already won. People can put you through a lot of horrific psychological, emotional, and physical conditions, but if you have that for a support system for yourself, by yourself, there’s only so much anyone can ever do.

Azzopardi: In the movie, Charlie is a troubled loner, but you open your world up to him and affect his life immensely. Who were your Queer role models growing up?

Miller: My sisters, who were really strong and really empowered and who just were constantly making sure that I felt the love and that I was thinking for myself, but at the same time had my back. They were, for me as a younger person, the only role models I ever needed. My flesh and blood consumed almost my whole frame of perception from when I was a younger child.

Azzopardi: So your sisters are Queer too?

Miller: Yeah. It’s a whole Queer-ass family! [laughs] You know, it’s pretty much the most ridiculously happy and lucky situation a boy like me could ask for. I really thank all sorts of illusive deities for the family that I have every day.

Azzopardi: After seeing you as Frank N. Furter during the Rocky Horror Picture Show scene, something tells me this wasn’t your first time doing drag. You were that good.

Miller: Thanks, darling! I’ve definitely dabbled from a young age. Those older sisters of mine actually started putting me through drag school when I was, like, 3. I remember running a lemonade stand and I was all made-up: My hair got did, I was in a dress, and I remember getting it going so hard even then that people would come up to one of my sisters and say, “I saw you and your sister selling lemonade today.” [laughs] Yeah, I’ve definitely served some time in the mighty and honorable school of drag.

When I was in middle school – it was combined with a high school, and the theater department was the same and it was the year that high schools were allowed to do Rent – I jumped on Angel really fast, so I even got to dance in drag and rock some pumps.

So, I’ve definitely had some informative experiences.

Azzopardi: You owe your sisters some gratitude for giving you drag training.

Miller: Really, man! I was such a goofily happy kid when we were doing that. It was such, like, a ridiculous dream come true.

Azzopardi: You sound like the polar opposite of your character in We Need to Talk About Kevin. You were so not Kevin as a child.

Miller: Yeah, that’s true. But it’s good to stretch in many different directions. I’m still convinced I can go much darker than anywhere I’ve gone so far, and I’m pretty sure there are greater possibilities. I really feel like I’ve only just scratched a really minute surface.

Azzopardi: The media obviously aren’t sure how to interpret your Queer identity – I’ve seen you called Gay by many news outlets. Why do you prefer Queer? And what do you think of just abandoning labels all together?

Miller: I think Queer is that doorway into the L, G, B, and T. Queer is the doorway to where we should all be at. In a perfect Garden of Eden world, we are all pretty damn – I don’t know if you’d say genderless or omni-gendered – but we’re all omnisexual, we’re all balanced, and none of us are participating in a binary. But until that day comes, these labels and these ways that we can identify ourselves to ourselves are all useful, and it’s really important that people figure out how to be inclusive and supportive of each and every one of them. That’s my feeling on it.

I’m Queer because I think the way society splits the human being in half is kind of tragic, and I think we should all be as open a book as possible when it comes to loving another human.

continued from cover every so often to create more great music, such as 2012’s Not Your Kind of People.

Currently touring in support of the new album, Garbage pulls into The Showbox SoDo on September 26 for what’s expected to be an amazing performance. Go to www. showboxonline.com for ticket information.

By phone, I spoke with Manson for 20 minutes, mainly just freaking out to the sound of her voice. She’s down-to-earth, fun, and a strong supporter of Gay rights – yet another reason to love her. So here’s what this awesome rock star had to say when she strutted into “The Music Lounge.”

Rodriguez: Garbage has a large Gay fan base, and they’ve been loyal to you over the years. Did you guys catch onto that early on?

Manson: I suppose we did. We got such an amazing reaction to “Queer” when it first came out – that was one of our first singles. I think we understood pretty quickly that we had attracted a Gay audience. I was a club girl, I went out to clubs from when I was 14 and the Gay community was a huge part of the club scene, and I think everybody else in the band associated themselves with having left-of-center tendencies, left-of-center interests, and so we’ve always felt a kinship with the Gay community and the Gay community has felt a kinship with us, and it’s something we are very grateful for because as you just said, they tend to be loyal. If they love you, they love you for life.

Rodriguez: We’re optimistic that Gay marriage [Approve R-74] is going to pass here in Washington state in November. If it does, what song would you dedicate to your Gay fans in celebration of Gay marriage?

Manson: Ooh, that is a good question.

Well, the song that comes to mind is not the most obvious one, but it is about commitment. It was Jennifer Aniston’s song when she married Brad Pitt, “You Look So Fine.” I feel very strongly about Gays being allowed to get married. I really feel it’s a breach of human rights that there are certain members of the heterosexual community who feel that a Gay couple is less entitled to being married than they are. I don’t get it, I don’t understand it, it makes me absolutely crazy!

I do believe in the years to come, if not November, then sooner or later there’s going to be such a swell of public support that in a hundred years’ time we’ll all be appalled that it was ever in jeopardy in the first place.

Rodriguez: You’re a fashion icon, among other things. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Manson: [laughs] Well, first of all I feel like the term “fashion icon” tends to get bandied around so much nowadays and all this means nothing, aside from the fact that you wear clothes. That said, I’m like any normal girl. I do tend to have a lot of shoes.

I’m shoe crazy, and I’m really fascinated as to why women are shoe crazy. I’m a real boot girl. I tend to have more boots than I do anything else.

Rodriguez: Do you shop when you’re on tour?

Manson: It depends. If I’m somewhere amazing, like Tokyo, I get a craving to go out and shop because you have to get your hands on stuff that you really can’t find anywhere else. In general, I’m not a big shopper. I got to a point in my life when I felt I had so much stuff in my closet. So I decided to stop buying stuff, unless I can’t live without it.

Rodriguez: For this tour you have a new album out, Not Your Kind of People. Are you guys playing hits and songs from all of your albums, and does that change from city to city?

Manson: We’ll be playing a selection of songs from each and every album. It tends

Celebrating 39 Years!

to be a work in progress. We start off with songs that we haven’t played in a while, or songs that we think would constitute a good set. Then, on the technical side, we tend to start substituting new songs that we feel would be better, or that we’re interested in playing, or that fans have requested.

Unlike a lot of bands, we want to play the songs people are dying to hear. The sets can change, but everybody coming to a Garbage show will get what they come for.

Rodriguez: Can you give us a preview of the Seattle show? How many songs in your set, the lighting or visual productions during your concert?

Manson: Our show is very simple – there are no bells and whistles. There are no dancers, there’s no pyrotechnics, it’s a very stripped-down rock show. We play nearly two hours. We feel like our fans have waited for us for so long that we want to give them a great show with as many songs as we can pull together without our own deficit disorder kicking in. I think we’re playing the best shows of our career and the response that we’ve had on this tour has been amazing from both the public and promoters, so we feel confident that we’re giving our fans value for their money.

I feel like everything’s gotten very reliant on props and costumes. I feel like everything got very Lion King in a way. We wanted something that was very simple, honest, and effective.

Rodriguez: A lot of people compare Seattle with Glasgow and London, in regard to the mood and climate. Do you agree?

Manson: I do. I actually come from Edinburgh, which is the East Coast city opposite Glasgow. But we’re all in the same northern hemisphere and it’s very wet, like Scotland is, and moody and unpredictable, which I love. I love that about Seattle weather.

Rodriguez: Do you remember the first record or cassette you ever bought?

Manson: The first record I ever bought was a 7-inch theme song to a TV show from Czechoslovakia called “White Horses,” which actually I want played at my funeral.

It will be the first and last sound I [hear].

And then I developed a more sophisticated taste in music. I believe the first adult record I bought was Aladdin Sane by David Bowie.

Rodriguez: You’ve inspired many young women to be musicians, and I know you were inspired by artists like Patti Smith and Siouxsie Sioux. Is there anyone in current pop music that has the potential to inspire a new generation of female performers?

Manson: Every generation has its inspirational figures. I think of someone like Beyonce as amazingly inspirational. The only thing I do not see right now is an alternative streak in music. There’s a lot of amazing pop stars, but there doesn’t seem to be very many voices out there for those who don’t relate to someone like Beyonce, who’s beautiful, radiant, and popular.

Rodriguez: I know that you went on stage and performed with Kings of Leon.

Were you distracted by how good looking they are?

Manson: [laughs] Of course, everybody is distracted by how good looking they are!

Luckily, Iggy Pop was also on the stage and Chrissie Hynde, so they were a great distraction because they’re equally as gorgeous to look at in their own way. That was an amazing night, actually. We had such a great time. It was a great honor to be asked to perform with Chrissie, who as you probably know is one of my touchstone musical heroes. And I’m a big Kings fan, so it was a good night. [laughs] It was a looong night.

Abbey), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men), Kathy Bates (Harry’s Law), Claire Danes (Homeland), Glenn Close (Damages) Will/Should Win: Danes. Nobody can touch her stellar work from Homeland’s first season, not even the otherwise deserving Moss.

Emmys

SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY Nominees: Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory), Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie), Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live), Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Kathryn Joosten (Desperate Housewives) Will Win: Wiig. This category is really up in the air – even the late Joosten has a shot. I’m just trying not to jinx Vergara by picking Wiig.

Should Win: Vergara. She’s overdue, so let the Colombian goddess reign on Sunday night! My second pick, however, is Bialik, and I won’t pout if she gets it.

continued from page 28 Empire), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Damian Lewis (Homeland) Will/Should Win: Cranston. He’s so damn good that I don’t even feel sorry for Hamm or Lewis, who were riveting on their respective dramas.

LEAD ACTRESS, DRAMA Nominees: Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife), Michelle Dockery (Downton

LEAD ACTOR, COMEDY Nominees: Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), Louis C.K. (Louie), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Don Cheadle (House of Lies), Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) Will Win: Cheadle. I’m going on a whim – Cheadle, an Oscar nominee for Hotel Rwanda, is the newcomer in this category (aside from Cryer, who got promoted from supporting), and occasionally Emmy voters go with a fresh face.

Should Win: Parsons. Everything that comes out of Sheldon Cooper’s mouth is hysterical, thanks to this guy.

LEAD ACTRESS, COMEDY Nominees: Zooey Deschanel (New Girl), Lena Dunham (Girls), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Julia LouisDreyfus (Veep), Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly) Will Win: Louis-Dreyfus. This pretty much has had her name on it since the pilot episode, and honestly she’s a hoot.

Should Win: Dunham or Poehler. Dreyfus is great, but both these women are more deserving.

SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA Nominees: Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey), Jim Carter (Downton Abbey), Jared Harris (Mad Men), Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) Will Win: Harris. OMG, was he not irresistible last season on Mad Men?! I loved to hate him.

Should Win: Paul. Seriously, this is the toughest category of the night. With the exception of Carter, all of these guys deserve it – even Coyle’s shy and reserved performance on Downton is sensational. Paul, however, had so much on his plate in season four that it would be a shame not to reward him again (he got it in 2010).

SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA Nominees: Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife), Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Christine Baranski (The Good Wife) Will Win: Smith. Nobody throws out one-liners like she does on Downton, and she’s a beloved veteran who can still act rings around her competitors.

Should Win: Gunn. It’s a feat in itself that she finally got nominated. And in this field of solid nominees (hats off to Hendricks in “The Other Woman” episode), she turned a silent housewife into an unabashed drug conspirator.

SUPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY Nominees: Ed O’Neill (Modern Family), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Ty Burrell (Modern Family), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live), Max Greenfield (New Girl) Will/Should Win: Ferguson. Someone from Modern Family is going to win, but who? Seeing that Stonestreet and Burrell have taken the award home in 2010 and 2011, respectively, it’s finally Ferguson’s turn. Unless O’Neill gets it in an upset.
