Three years later, he was still alive. The cancer had vanished.

Then his cancer returned, for which he blames chemotherapy.

S E V E N DAY S

1996

ON PUBLIC SERVICE m Being new to the world of the public relations business of the media and musical promotions, as a performing songwriter, I try to remember what Terri Williams says about the importance of profession alism. We cannot in this day and age be too kind to each other. It’s a harsh world because we are harsh to each other. Terri Williams, who han dled Eddie Murphy at the start of his movie career and at the start of her own public relations firm, reminds us to stay pleasant and per sistant, to return all phone calls, being in touch personally with a good attitude, so that the network is strong. We’re all working together. It does not excite me to inform others of a problem I’d gladly ignore — but the world is growing by ignored problems. When we look at the truth we can find ways of solving the problem so we all benefit. So, now, the problem. .After finding my performance was not included in the Vox, I called and was told there had been an argument between the place I was to play in and the paper. I didn’t understand why I had anything to do with not getting listed in their paper. I spoke with the establish ment after my performance to understand more. They said they had been getting 200 papers (of Vox) dropped off all winter, after countless requests to have only 10 papers dropped off. Continually making more requests, the owner of Uocwas contacted and after he failed to do anything, the establishment requested that no papers be dropped off. As a result, the Vox refused to print the establishment’s performers. I don’t want to be a complainer, so I try only to be informative to a situation that happened to me and I’d like to offer the Vox to read Terri Williams’ book. I greatly thank Seven Days for their enthusiasm to serving the public and offering a place to share these thoughts and encouragements. “It’s the web of life we’re moving on and around!” — Lara Noble Chelsea DON’T ENCOURAGE UNDERAGE DRINKERS Let me begin by saying how much I enjoy read ing your publication for current happenings, the lat est with the Burlington/other music scene(s), and the diverse articles. I believe that Seven Days has a great '

impact on the greater Burlington community as to choosing what to do and where to do it. Recently, you ran an article, “Bar Talk” (September 4), that served as a “College students guide to beer and loathing.” I had two concerns about this article that I would like to share with you and Seven Days readers. Approximately 70 percent of the college popula tion is underage to drink legally. Seventy percent... this is not a small number. Hence, if that 70 percent of the college population decides to go to one of the bars cited in your article to try to get a beer, they are breaking Vermont State law and potentially facing criminal charges. As anyone who lives in the Burlington community is aware, the police and other Vermont agencies are overwhelmed by underage drinking violations and related disturbances (noise ordinance, et al.). Twenty-one is the legal drinking age, and underage college students do not need any encouragement to break this law. That is my first concern. Secondly, colleges across the country are begin ning to recognize the pejorative health/social effects of a phenomenon known as “binge” drinking. Binge drinking is defined as an individual having five or more drinks in one sitting. Printing quotations such as “Drown your sorrows with daily drink specials...” and “Fill your bladder with cheap pints and then piss with your pals” encourages and legitimizes this type of behavior in many young adult minds. The danger that lies within that legitimization is that binge drinking is directly related to mental health prob lems, instances of violence, sexual assaults, hate crimes, not to mention developing a dependency on alcohol. This creates a “double whammy” for the community: There are more individuals with alcoholrelated problems, and the community suffers from the secondary effects of needs for increased police presence, more noise ordinance violations, violence in the community, etc. I feel that these points are important and worth the consideration of all Seven Days readers in the greater Burlington community. — Ali Cohen Burlington (Ali Cohen is a substance abuse prevention specialist at the University of Vermont)

A FT E R D A R K OUTER MONGOLIA,

BODHI

(self-released CD) — Siddhartha sat under the bodhi tree and became enlightened. If you sit in the vicinity o f Bodhi, the debut CD by Burlington’s Outer Mongolia (no, that’s not a new subdivision), you are more likely to just get mesmerized. Literally seamless — the songs segue together like a sonic relay race — Bodhi does have a sort of Eastern sensibility, the endless cycle-of-life thing. Outer Mongolia has no use for standard song structure, grooving instead on a free-flowing instrumental mix o f strings and percussion. The sound is dominated by violin (“Aharon” — members are identified by first names only) and a galloping conga rhythm courtesy o f “Boling.” Guitar, banjo and other percussion instruments — I especially like “pocket change,” though I can’t quite hear it — are contributed by “Chingo,” “Meista” and “Z.” I imagine this as a soundtrack for a movie about a wild horseman in — well, why not? — Mongolia, whose adventures and misadventures across the plains are marked by the band’s introspective diddles, frenzied outbursts, and idiosyncratic tempo changes. Like African or Middle Eastern bands, these guys seem to jam as one being, but the result is somewhat breath less and even numbing. I need for the horse man to reach some destination, kick off his boots and give that poor horse a rest. You can try the ride when O.M. flies in for its CD release party this Friday at Java Love. And check out that all-hemp disc cover.

SPILL,

MOON ROOM

(Sasquatch Records, CD) — Here’s a band ready to dive into the turbulent waters o f the modern rock biz. Though they’re all from the Burlington area — except for Brattleboro-born drummer Pat Gillespie — Spill have a sound not quite like anyone else in these parts. And that sound — dare I say it? — is marketable. Their virgin voyage, Moon Room, recorded at Low Tech and mixed/mastered at Eclipse, showcases a remarkably mature vocal style and lyrical sensibility from Aaron Ingham. The kick-ass power trio backing him have clearly been practicing. Spill generally favors slow to medium tempos and a sonic assault bombastic enough to keep headbangers happy — especially the heavyweight “Tigger,” or the rave-up midsection of “A Lullaby to Scream To.” But then there are surprisingly delicate or funky guitar riffs from Shawn Baker that punctuate the ponderous ones; the band’s loyalty to melody; a jagged rhythmic symmetry, delivered by Gillespie and bassist Jon Coe. My faves: “Grey Matter,” “Bridge for Sale” and “Get O ff My Lawn.” Choose yours Monday at Metronome.

making plans for a new sum mer home. At the center o f this suc cess — according to the press and the public — is the V SO ’s first female conductor, Kate Tamarkin, who has breathed new life into the 61-year-old orchestra. Behind the scenes, however, is what some would call an even more important success story: the V SO ’s exec utive director, Tom Philion. A native Vermonter returned from a series o f symphonic jobs out-of-state, Philion is the orchestra’s first profession al manager. “I would say that the turn around in the V SO ’s fortunes is largely attributable to him ,” says Wayne Grenquist, who has served on the VSO board through the orchestra’s trou

and orchestra members — the wrong way. He is responsible, after all, for designating how much they can perform and how much they can be paid. (The VSO is part-time, and players are only paid for their actual rehearsal and perfor mance time.) But if Philion is considered a penny-pincher, he surely knows that has been said o f just about every suc cessful manager. “You’re trying to raise more money, you’re trying to sell more tickets, you’re trying to schedule concerts in such a way [that] you have more sup port for them,” Philion says. “Basically, that’s my thing — how to price tickets, how to program so that you can maxi mize the revenue and boost attendance.”

good orchestra that had gone through a very traumatic experience,” Philion recalls. “A lot o f people made a lot o f mistakes, for all the right rea sons. People were ready to move on...ready for some thing to happen.” That some thing was Tamarkin, whom Philion says became the cata lyst for much-needed change in the VSO. Tamarkin was selected almost unanimously from among four finalists, resulting in a new optimism in the press and the public. “When I first came to Vermont and told people what I did, they said, ‘Oh, you’re the guy who fired the music director,’” says Philion. “Now it was, ‘Oh, you hired the woman conducC ontinued on page 12

claims the same ancient origins as that o f the West, and the same tonal system, unlike Chinese and Japanese music. But whereas Western music uses melody as a “singable line,” Indian music uses melody and scale, with a different way of dividing the scale that allows for the flautist to “bend the sound around the music.” Besides the bansuri, there are,two other instruments onstage. The tabla, a tunable drum, allows for a variety o f pitches and complex rhythms. The tanpura, or drone, keeps the pitch in mind for the flautist. “The audience doesn’t actually hear it,” Rankin says. “It’s a cosmic sound, yet has a practical purpose.” The flute is the only instru ment common to virtually all cultures worldwide, and is iden tified with nature and sacred spaces. In India, music, yoga and the Hindu religion come from the same roots. Since Chaurasia comes from Northern India, his music reveals Islamic influences as well. The spiritual component o f the music is evident. “In India, sound is the way to reach your superconsciousness,” Kamath explains. “It comes with the ter ritory. The flute connects to Krishna, one o f the incarna tions o f god.” Chaurasia’s instrument is “just a regular bamboo flute,” she adds, “and then you hear the different tones and...it’s just awesome. ’D Hariprasad Chaurasia will give a lecture and demonstration Friday, September 20, 5 p. m. at the Fleming Museum; Saturday, September 21, scholars Catherine Potter and Gabe Halberg will discuss Indian music and demon strate bansuri and tabla.

Peter Schmitz brings “boy

was really lucky.” Dance has always had a place at Middlebury — small and tucked away, though it was just 15 years ago. Now Campbell, Schmitz and Andrea Olson preside over a nationallyrecognized cur riculum with two state-of-the-art stu dios and 15 majors, two o f whom are men. Last year Paul Matteson took top choreographic hon ors at the American College Dance Festival. That he was trained at Middlebury is a tes tament to the pro gram, which empha sizes individual cre ation rather than a specific style or tech nique through the study o f anatomy, kinesiology and impro visation. It’s also a testament to Schmitz, who gave Matteson a model and helped him find his way to choreography. “Heaven on

energy ” to dance

earth” is how Schmitz remem bers the relationship. “I try to give people tools to explore their own movement vocabu lary. That may be impossible — we don’t live in a vaccuum,’’ he says. “But the more infor

mation they have about their bodies in space, their weight, the more

articulate they become as movers.” And shakers. Schmitz is as efficient as he is outrageous in rehearsal with

painstaking process. The dancers are there as tools for the creator — a means to someone else’s end. Schmitz takes a dif ferent approach. “Great choices,

Mark Stuver and Chrissy Guillette. For most dance mak ers, choreography is a slow,

nice choices,” he praises 20year-old Guillette for personal izing a prescribed movement to fit her own body. There is no

ego, no preconception, no tantrum in his rehearsal — just lots o f energy, intimacy and jokes. “Wow, that was dynamic,” Schmitz bellows after a failed lift plops all three o f them in a heap on the floor. Next minute he is up again, watching the dancers through imaginary binoculars. His childlike enthu siasm is infectious. “Oh, that was great. I like that,” he enthuses over another creative “mistake.” Rushing in to part ner Guillette, he observes, “Hmmm. You smell a lot better than he does." Twenty-one-year-old Stuver laughs it off. “Peter likes it best when we bring our own feelings and quirks into rehearsal,” says the former martial artist, who made his dance major official last week. “He sets out a palette o f movement, then lets us fill it in with phrases. Then we see where it took us. He doesn’t tell us what to feel. It comes from within us. I don’t know if he knew the next phrase, or if he got it from us.” That creative risk and result ing intimacy are what conC ontinued on page 21

The Death Penalty in a Violent Society 1 9 9 6 -9 7 Sister M iria m Ward Lecture, Peace & Justice Series Monday, September 23, 8 p.m ., M ann Hall, Trinity College, B urlington Twenty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld new capital punishment laws passed by three states, overturning its 1972 decision that the death penalty was arbitrary and cruel. Since then, all but 12 states and the District o f Columbia have revived the death penalty and have executed 331 people and put 3112 more on death row. Robert Drinan, a Jesuit priest and professor o f law at Georgetown University, condemns the death penalty as “the abomination o f any civilized society.” He will discuss it in the context o f the wider spectrum o f violence that dominates the U.S. today, including violence in the international order, violence in our inner cities and domestic violence.

R ob ert D rin an , S .J.

Robert Drinan was a Representative to Congress from Massachusetts from 1971 to 1981, serving on the House Subcommittee on Criminal Justice. Although his re-election in 1980 seemed certain, he stepped down in deference to a papal order that priests remove themselves from public office.

review; FAMILY AF F AI R It’s the differences, not the sim i larities, that emerge most clearly in the paintings by C atherine Hall and Megan Lipke currently on exhib it at Trinity College. In fact, the stylistic divergences between these two abstractionists are so sharp that the show could have been entitled, “Unlike Mother, Unlike D aughter.” T he dozen works in McAuley Hall reveal a rever sal of stereotypical roles. Hall, the mother, is the more exuberant and flashy o f the pair, while Lipke, the 27-year-old daughter, is reserved and contem plative by com parison. T he irony is com pounded by H all’s com ment, in an introductory note, that she regards painting as “a form o f m editation.” For her part, Lipke says she is interested in “the life o f paint itself, including its ability to record em otional states.” T he oils themselves suggest just the opposite: Lipke’s serene gauzes have a dream-like quality, while H all’s em otional states are vividly expressed in her celebrations o f color. T he show opens w ith a charm ing trio of paintings that highlight the m other/daughter connection. Two self-portraits by the sevenyear-old Megan from 1969 hang alongside H all’s recently com pleted “M egan’s Dress,” a nostalgic melange o f Band-Aids, ruffles and m ulticolored polka-dots. Lipke’s current work dem onstrates that a daughter develops a dis tinctive personality even as she reflects M om ’s influence. It’s an especially relevant lesson, as the wom en’s show accompanies this year’s W aters Chair series on “hum an relations in the family.” Two works characteristic o f H all’s style are

“Elegy” and “D eparture,” painted in 1992 and ’93, respectively. T he first is a com position of boxy shapes in mournful dark reds, along with a fragment o f a mesh bag affixed to the canvas. An angry-looking, yellowish burst smolders in the center o f this paint ing. Hall is equally expressive and engaging w ith the riotously colorful, light-drenched “D eparture.” “Day at Capitan” and “T he Flood,” both painted by Lipke this year, appear emblematic of the younger artist’s style in their cool coloration and subdued com position. Pale =c yellows wash across ^ the canvas in ^ “C apitan,” suggesting an interplay of ^ sun and clouds. A S gradual color shift -h corresponds to a o diagonal progresoo sion from airiness == to density. A similarly sub tle melding can be seen in the fluid colors o f “The Flood.” D ripping dabs o f purplish paint resemble the • blurred shapes seen through a window during a rainstorm. Initially, Lipke seems the less accessible o f the two artists. W ith closer examination, however, her work, though decidedly different from H all’s, is nearly as satisfying. — Kevin ]. Kelley

(M at 21-Apr. 19): Talk about kicking your own ass! You’re as close as you’ve come in many moons to living your own life (as opposed to someone elses). You’re less enslaved by your dependencies; you’re nowhere near as hypnotized by the expectations everyone’s so fond o f pushing on you. Now are you ready to kick your own ass just a little harder? As soon as you agree to clean up that last little bit of soul-sludge you’ve been avoiding forever, you’ll earn the right to taste the soul-nectar you didn’t even know existed. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Picture the face of a lover, fresh from the sweet collapse o f making love. Recollect a sled ride down a hill or a whitewater rafting trip or any past adventure that closely resembled an exhilarating flying dream. Imagine the feelings your mother had when she first realized you had hatched inside her. W ith those images floating on your awareness, decide which two beautiful people you’ll give an impulsive gift to this week; which two gorgeous helpers have sneaked you the best peeks at life’s most precious secrets. g e m i n i (May 21-June 20): It’s live, it’s steaming, it’s s _ private experiment with intimate miracles! N othing’s too taboo! (Well, almost nothing.) Don’t be shy! Don’t be humble! Insist on outrageous proposals and midnight rendezvous! Pick up where your fantasies left off last rime you got too scared to push any further! Be uncensored! As raw as the law allows! And remember —- it’s good for you! So say, finally, what you have always meant to say! Do exactly what you feel — and much, much more! Ride that kundalini till your forbidden pain burns away and your love turns inside out! Make this the open secret at the heart o f your wild, wild life! CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here are some fun facts about crabs which ju st might have symbolic relevance to you now, as you enter the most crablike phase of your yearly cycle. 1) Crabs grow by periodically molting their hard shells. (Does that remind you of how crucial it is for you to regularly shed your protective defenses?) 2) Crabs like to walk sideways in order to head where they want to go. (The indirect approach, which you’re so fond of and so good at, is often quite useful, and not necessarily pathological.) 3) The crabs reproductive organs are located just below the heart. (I think you can figure that one out by yourself.) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s a whispering, humming, murmuring kind of week. A time when the pithiest clues are likely to arrive via rustlings and ripplings and crinldings and whirrings. It’s true that bangs and clangs will threaten to commandeer the attention of everyone around you. But avert your ears from that turgid pomp. Turn away from the whap and the jangle. Be a delicate spy in the house of love... a between-the-lines listener attuned to all the overtones and underlays. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s bad luck to be superstitious this week. It’s stupid to act so smart that you alienate useful folks whore less wellendowed than you. And it’s downright illogical to be so relendessly reasonable that you miss out on the rich emotional signals that’ll be spiraling everywhere. In conclusion, Virgo, just assume that every one of your first impressions and gut instincts is half-wrong. Things are neither what they seem nor the opposite o f what they seem. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In my dream, you’d left the holy book I gave you out in the rain. You’d neglected to refrigerate the chicken soup I’d cooked for you, and I found it swarming with mold. Worst o f all, your dog had half-eaten the homework I’d assigned, and I couldn’t tell if you’d done any of it. But when I came up and screamed, “W hat the hell are you doing?!” you calmly explained that you’d been preoccupied, slaving away night and day to alchemically transmute your lead balloon into solid gold. And just before I woke, I glimpsed you striding past the talent scouts with your new trial balloon floating above you on the end of a silk string, gleaming gold in the moonlight. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Even if you’re not Jewish, I suggest you do your own homemade version o f Yom Kippur, which this year falls on September 23. Known also as the Day of Atonement, this holiday is a perfect time to earn the gutsiest kind of absolution, as opposed to the lipservice variety. There’s no use, after all, in reflexively exercising the usual twinge o f regret for how cruelly you cheated on your lover or how greedily you stole toilet paper from work. T hat ain’t atonement, it’s simpering. Instead, write letters to those you’ve offended, adm itting that you know you deserve to be thrown into a vat of boiling oil, and begging them to tell you what you can do to redeem yourself. Better yet, stare your own inner devil t between the eyes and laugh at it rill it croaks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov, 22-Dec. 21):- For a year my Sagittarian friend^has risked her sanity and safety in the service o f the modern version of the underground railroad. At least that’s how I think of her work at a battered women’s shelter. The vulnerable souls she’s counseled there are on the run and in hiding from their abusers. Most are at the absolute bottom of the scale of social prestige. For her, it’s been an unusual way to quench her Sagittarian lust for adventure. O n the surface, it s seemed wrenching, unglamorous, humbling. Yet she’s found that assisting a shattered woman to recover her identity, get a job, and love life again can be as grippingly satisfying as skydiving or climbing a mountain. I suggest you take a page from her book in the weeks ahead. Seek thrills that leave a righteous impact. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): D id you ever wonder why the Biblical Jacob dreamed o f angels clambering up and down a ladder, not a stairway? (My experience as a dream interpreter has shown me that dream symbols are never imprecise.) A ladder, o f course, is a movable device, whereas a stairway is stuck in the place where its built. You can use a ladder to climb just about anywhere you want, but a stairway severely limits your choices. One possible meaning for the dream, then, is this: Lofty aspirations are best served by a highly adaptable approach. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At one point in James Michener’s novel Hawaii, a native Hawaiian informs some ignorant missionaries, “You cannot speak to the gods with your clothes on.” W hereupon he strips and prepares for prayer. Let this image guide you in the week ahead, Aquarius. Two assignments are requesting your attention more than any others: erotic education and divine communion. W hy not conspire to get them to happen in the same place? PIoCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): O nly by flunking m y calculus midterm in senior year did I realize how much I w anted'to go-to college. And only by losing Justine co a rich lawyer did I begin to understand how damaging poverty can be to a relationship. O n the other hand, I Wouldn’t have even been aisle to take calculus in high school unless I was a math wizard. A nd I would never have had the nerve to court the brilliant Justine unless I’d first learned how much I had to offer during my previous liaison w ith Mara. W hat I’m trying to say is that pain ain’t the only way to gain. Some lessons come through succesvnot M u re , You’ll be amazed □ you’ll have in the coming w eeb to build on your p

THE HOYTS CINEMAS

K m m w heavy**

FILM QUIZ M

The story of a slow-witted pizza cook, the picture’s like a half-baked pie: Mangold serves up a cheesy plot about the unrequited love between a doughy mamas boy and a saucy waitress, tosses in a few meatballs who hang around the joint and, being green, peppers the script with time-worn insights while expecting it to mushroom into meaningful drama. Anyway you slice it, the recipe fails to deliver. Liv Tyler does justice to her role. O f course, a mini-industry has arisen devoted to movies about peo ple falling madly in love with her ( Stealing Beauty, for example), so playing this guy’s fanta$y-in-the-flesh was not exactly a stretch. Hers is pretty much a one-dimensional role requiring her to do little other than look spifiy. Shelley Winters turns up as a by-the-numbers domineering mother and, again, this is the kind of role she can play in her sleep. I’m less familiar with the work of Pruitt Taylor Vince, so it’s tough to assess his performance as the bland, stammering figure at the heart o f the action — well, o f the story. He’s either very good at conveying a complete absence o f personality, or he’s a very dull boy. Assuming he’s a regular dynamo and has done a fabulous job here creating the illusion of being dull, the questionremains: W hat is it about watching this ineffectual fellow shuffle in slo-mo through a few weeks of his monotonous, unactualized life that’s supposed to engage the viewer? Maybe it was supposed to be an experiment in minimalism, but I’m pretty sure it’s just boring. W ith the dramatic momentum, emotional resonance and literary firepower of a bag of soggy laundry, Heavy is an example of maverick moviemaking at its most lightweight.

Dear Lola, I think there id something wrong with my, uh, self). I’m afraid to make love with my girlfriend because my unit is off-kilter. Is there anything I can do to straighten cut the situation? Self-conscious in Colchester —

Dear Self, Besides finding a crocked girlfriend? Actually, a friend of mine readily admits that she likes "magnificently curved” situations. "It rubs better, ” she says. My own arched experience was glorious as well. People come in all shapes and sizes. Our bodies, ourselves, cur situations. But if you can ’t learn to appreciate your own askew apparatus, you can see a doctor. Apparently, the slant stems from a lack of blood flow on one side. And it’s my understanding that there is an operation to open up the blood gates and get you back to the center. I recommend making your situation part of the intrigue. Women will remember you as the "leaning tower” and your interlude as the "angle of repose. ” As always, to thine own self be true.
