L ette r s CLARIFICATION: Last week’s story “More Money for Beaches and Wetlands” should have made it clearer that the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission is a state agency that’s legally distinct from The Bay Foundation, a local nonprofit. Save Panini Grill Corporate greed is yet again forcing a beloved local restaurant to close up shop for good. This time it’s Panini Grill in Marina del Rey. Not only are several employees losing their job, the saddest part is that many of their loyal customers are senior citizens (many coming in with a cane or walker) who are now wondering where else they can go in the future. The Panini Grill is one of the last safe and easily accessible places around here that hasn’t been consumed by the push to make restaurants hip, way too expensive and simply lacking the local feel that many of us have become accustomed to. The story I hear is that Panini Grill is being asked for way too much rent and their property

managers would apparently rather see the space vacant than renew under the same terms. It’s worth noting that several units around Panini Grill sat unoccupied for what seemed like years. Please note that the owner of Panini Grill has absolutely no idea yet that people have started to protest on his behalf. But I think it is unacceptable that property owners would be more concerned about maximizing profits than the many existing restaurant customers who are essentially already helping to line their fat pockets. Panini Grill could close as early as June 27. This is outrageous, and we’ve already started a petition. We are also contemplating a peaceful protest in front of Pavilions to make our voices heard. Enough is enough! Ewald Stoffler Westchester

Where Blame is Due Re: “Public Enemy No. 1: The AR-15,” Editorial, June 16 Everything you wrote in your editorial on restricting sales of the AR-15 assault rifle is accurate, morally right, and supported by an overwhelming majority of U.S. voters from both major parties. What you left out is that Republican voters have installed 236 congressional representatives who take campaign contributions from the NRA, a gun manufacturers’ lobbying organization, while Democrat voters have installed only 25 representatives who have accepted NRA contributions. Place blame where blame is due. David Kay Playa Vista

8500 Wilshire Blvd., Ste 1020, Beverly Hills 90211 PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT June 23, 2016

By Gary Walker With lights flashing and sirens blaring, the big red fire engines of L.A. Fire Station 62 in Mar Vista will head west along Venice Boulevard on Saturday morning as part of an escort reserved almost exclusively for fallen comrades, prominent elected officials or high-profile dignitaries. But this escort isn’t for the likes of President Obama. It’s for a 14-year-old Marina del Rey resident who aspires to, in his own words, “help people who need help.” Casey Maclean will be embarking on his third annual charitable bicycle ride, this time raising funds for the Los Angeles City Fire Department Foundation (supporting training, equipment and youth programs), Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and his own college education fund. He plans to pedal 130 miles down the coast from Fire Station 62 to La Jolla over two days. A student at New West Charter School, Casey raised $6,000 with last year’s ride. This year he’s already surpassed the $8,000 mark by holding a silent online auction and collecting donations through Go Fund Me.

“He started [the rides] all by himself since he was 12. It’s really nice to see him occupied and busy and doing things for others,” said his mother, Tammi Casey. The fire department escort is fitting because the young cyclist aspires to be a firefighter. Casey lived near Station 62 before moving to the marina and asked Capt. Donald Semenza, the station’s highest-ranking officer, if firefighters would escort him to the bike path on his first ride. On his journey south, Casey plans to stop at as many fire stations as possible. “I can have a break, chat with them and talk about what I am doing. That’s one of the best parts of the ride, and having the escort from Station 62 is really cool too,” he said. Casey was inspired to raise money through cycling after he saw a television show about a teen who was biking across the country to raise money for his own personal charity. Casey decided to stay closer to home for his first ride— coastal Santa Barbara. “I thought that might be too hard, so I started with 100 miles,” he said. After Saturday’s escort through

Mar Vista, Venice and Marina del Rey, Casey plans to take the beach bike path south. He’s riding a specialized Allez Elite 10-speed and wearing cycle gear donated by Italian cycling clothier Santini SMS. In addition to Santini SMS, GoPro, Whole Foods, Beyond Meat, Outlaw Graphix, Wheel Works and social media ad agency Inadmark are sponsoring his San Diego ride. Casey will have company on the second leg of his journey. Whole Foods Southern Pacific Region President Patrick Bradley, who lives in Orange County, has his Trek Madone racing bike ready to go. Bradley learned about the ride for charity after Casey visited the Whole Foods store in West Los Angeles to purchase gift cards for a fundraiser at his elementary school. He mentioned his upcoming race to the store’s marketing manager at the time, Katina Stallworth, who in turn told Bradley. “When I heard about it, it reminded me of when I was 12 years old. He was so beyond his years in terms of communication and how he explained the charity (Continued on page 8)

City Targets Airbnb-style Hotels in Venice

Lawsuit alleges illegal use of rental housing; one building owner says he’s played by the rules By Gary Walker Two historic beachfront buildings in Venice are among the targets of an unprecedented volley of city lawsuits claiming property owners have illegally converted residential apartment buildings into hotels offering much more lucrative short-term vacation rentals. On Monday, Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer filed the suits alleging violations of the city’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance against the owners of three multi-unit properties — the 30-unit Venice Suites at 417 Ocean Front Walk, the 32-unit Venice Beach Suites at 1305 Ocean Front Walk and a 59-unit building in Hollywood. The lawsuits seek financial restitution for any displaced tenants, fines for breaking city statutes and court-appointed receivers to operate the properties until they are brought into compliance, Feuer said. “In a city with a profound shortage of affordable housing, unlawfully converting rental units to operate as hotels has got to stop. My office will continue to intervene to keep rent-stabilized units on the market and hold owners accountable for not complying with the law,” said Feuer, adding that the cases are supported by lengthy city investigations. Feuer also acknowledged that asking the court to appoint a receiver is an unusual step, but “it underscores how serious we take this issue,” he said. Carl Lambert, the owner of Venice Suites and numerous other properties in Venice, said Feuer’s lawsuits were filed prematurely because he is still dealing with the city permit process and the Los Angeles City Council has yet to adopt rules that govern short-term rentals. “It is improper for the city attorney to file these lawsuits while I’m undertaking steps to formalize the conversion [of the property into hotel use] with the city,” Lambert said. “Historically, Venice Suites

Venice Beach Suites is among several properties that the city alleges were illegally converted from housing to vacation rentals has been a hotel and has operated legally since before 1925,” he said. Lambert pled his case to permanently designate Venice Suites as a hotel before the Venice Neighborhood Council in February. Those speaking in support of a hotel designation greatly outnumbered those opposed, but the council voted 10-6 to recommend against hotel certification amid concerns that a certificate of occupancy describes the property as an apartment building. Back in November, the California Coastal Commission gave Lambert a retroactive green light to continue using one of his other buildings, Venice Breeze Suites at 2 Breeze Ave., as a hotel. That 31-unit building had already transitioned from housing to hotel use before he bought the property, and city officials resolved permitting issues for the building in 2013. Lambert has voiced support for the city imposing regulations on short-term rentals, says he’s always paid hotel taxes for guests at his properties and has stated publicly that such taxes should be used to

create more affordable housing. Lambert also said he’s created affordable housing units on the Westside and has never evicted anybody to free up a unit for short-term rentals. William and Rose Layman, the listed owners of Venice Beach Suites, could not be reached for comment. Feuer’s office announced the lawsuits in the same week that the city’s Planning Commission takes its first look at the city’s draft ordinance to regulate shortterm rentals. Los Angeles Short-Term Rental Alliance Director of Operations Robert St. Genis questioned the timing of the lawsuits. “I believe that there’s political motivation behind it. It’s happening right before the Planning Commission hearing,” noted St. Genis, whose group supports Lambert’s use of Venice Suites as a hotel. Feuer brushed aside assertions that his actions were to do anything but uphold the law. “There are laws against illegal conversions of apartment units that have a detrimental effect on tenants. That has

never been as important as it is today. We filed these lawsuits because we believe these conversions are illegal — period,” Feuer said. In addition to the civil suits, Feuer filed criminal charges on Monday against the owner of a four-unit apartment complex in the Fairfax District who allegedly evicted tenants in order to put their units on the short-term rental market. Venice residents actively campaigning against short-term rental conversions have complained for years that long-term rental housing is being taken off the housing market, resulting in a loss of affordable housing and pitting residents against tourists’ wallets for the housing stock that remains. Judith Goldman, cofounder of the short-term rental opposition group Keep Neighborhoods First, said the city’s lawsuits take into account the negative effects of losing rent-stabilized housing. “We do feel vindicated and like we have been listened to. We were able to effectively mobilize and come together to demonstrate to the city that neighborhoods are being severely impacted by short-term rentals,” Goldman said. Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, a co-sponsor of the proposed city ordinance to govern short-term rentals, said the lawsuits underscore the need for clear and fair home-sharing guidelines. “Simple regulations that allow honest home-sharing while making it easier to go after rouge operators who are running de facto hotels will help protect affordable housing and the character of our neighborhoods,” Bonin said. Feuer said this may not be the last time his office takes action regarding shortterm rentals. “We’re looking at other locations throughout the city as well,” he said. gary@argonautnews.com

Westside - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

To Our Valued Patients, As of June 30th I will be transitioning the care of all Eye Institute of Marina del Rey patients to Assil Eye Institute located at 2222 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 107, Santa Monica. The phone number will remain the same. I will be seeing patients jointly with Dr. Mona Bagga or Dr. Kerry Assil so that my patients may meet my new colleagues. In addition to the Santa Monica location, the Assil Eye Institute’s Beverly Paul B. Donzis, MD Hills facility has a state-of-the-art surgical center for cataract and refractive surgery. I have personally worked with both Dr. Assil and Dr. Bagga and know them to be compassionate and caring doctors, with superb medical and surgical skills. You can still reach my office by calling 310.822.0022 or by calling Assil Eye Institute at 310.651.2300. We will be working to make this a seamless transition, and have all of your medical records on site. Finally, on behalf of my staff and myself, I want to thank you for the trust you have given us over the years. The Assil Eye Institue and I look forward to your continued care. Sincerely, Paul B. Donzis, M.D.

(310) 822-0022

My trusted colleagues at the Marina del Rey office, Dr. Alpa Patel and Dr. David Isaacs, will be moving forward with their practice and careers in locations yet to be determined. The doctors at Assil Eye Institute are available to take care of their patients as well.

Beyond the soundbites, statistics and political handwringing that dominated media coverage of the June 12 mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub, there is a much deeper story of lives needlessly cut short — 49 of them. Deeply affected by the tragedy, longtime Venice Beach resident Joel Shields feels strongly that people need to know more about those who died than just their names and ages. To give himself and others a chance to reflect, Shields framed portraits and short biographies of each of the Orlando shooting victims and displayed them

Alpa S. Patel, MD

last weekend in the sand along Ocean Front Walk just north of Park Avenue. “The reality of the shooting is different when you’re actually standing face to face with these portraits and are able to pause and reflect. To look at those faces, those eyes, personalizes it much more than electronic media,” Shields said. The display is not expected to return to the beach, but Shields hopes to work with organizations that can put the 49 portraits and bios to continued use.

Playa Vista Adds Nine More Acres

Freeway-adjacent lot will become a car dealership and more Following an $83-million purchase by So Cal auto sales tycoon Hooman Nissani, the long-vacant commercial lot at Jefferson Boulevard and Centinela Avenue will become a car dealership as it awaits transition into a mixed-use development. The nine-acre parcel will be developed for Nissani by Lincoln Property Co., which completed the Whole Foods-anchored Runway at Playa Vista retail, entertainment and residential complex last year. Lincoln Property Co. Executive Vice President David Binswanger said the property’s interim use as an auto dealership will give developers time to figure out the best long-term uses

for the property. “We’re not under traditional time pressures, and from a real estate perspective that’s a real luxury,” Binswanger said. Nonetheless, preliminary proposals could be forthcoming in a matter of months, he said. “Nissani recognized early on that this site has much more potential than only running a car dealership out of it,” Binswanger said. “Now that the deal is closed we’re going to be out there publicly talking to stakeholders, the councilman’s office and others in the neighborhood to see what the community would like to see, what’s economically viable and try to bring that together.”

Yo-Yo Ma sets sail with a diverse crew of music virtuosos in “The Music of Strangers”

Music and the Language of Culture Documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville on traveling the globe with Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble By Bliss Bowen “What’s the purpose? Everything I’ve learned about performing, about music, about what happens between the notes — that’s about making sure that culture matters.” — Yo-Yo Ma Early in “The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble,” members of the collective stroll to a marina’s edge on a cobblestoned plaza in Istanbul, as artist Kevourk Mourad makes broad brush strokes across a canvas on the ground. Turkish diva Aynur Dogan’s ululating vocal leaps above rousing, seemingly improvised exchanges between internationally celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Iranian kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor, Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh, Chinese pipa player Wu Man, Galician bagpiper Cristina Pato, Chinese sheng master Wu Tong and various percussionists and string musicians as an appreciative crowd clusters around with cameras and cellphones. “That was literally just a pop-up show that we staged to film,” says director Morgan Neville. “Nobody knew who they

were. In fact [laughs], at the end of that show somebody came up and asked if they could play their wedding.” Neville is no stranger to music documentaries. The Pasadena native won a best feature documentary Oscar for 2013’s “20 Feet From Stardom,” and he

Tehran, and refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon, among other far-flung locales, the crew got schooled in cultural sensitivity, and the film took on deeper dimensions as artists reached across language and political barriers to communicate.

“The best music films are not about music. I feel like music, in a way, is a prism through which you can tell any kind of story.” — Director Morgan Neville has also directed documentaries about singer-songwriters (“Troubadours”), Keith Richards (“Under the Influence”), Sam Phillips (“The Man Who Invented Rock ‘n’ Roll”), Cowboy Jack Clement (“Shakespeare Was a Big George Jones Fan”) and Iggy & the Stooges (“Search and Destroy”), among others. But “The Music of Strangers” presented unexpected logistical challenges — and surprises. While shooting in six languages in Beijing, Boston, California, Damascus, Galicia, Istanbul, New York,

“We are not our political identities,” Kalhor notes in the film. “Nobody remembers who was the king when Beethoven lived. But culture stays … music stays as part of culture.” You’ve made several music documentaries and your production company’s named Tremolo; are you a frustrated musician? I’m a musician. [Laughs.] I’m not frustrated, because I realized early on that I was never gonna make a living as a

musician. [Laughs.] My three big loves growing up were film, music and journalism, and I kind of figured out a way to do them all. As a filmmaker, what intrigues you about music? Music is an amazing Trojan horse to tell other stories. Music brings with it nostalgia and emotion and association and audience, oftentimes. It has all this great stuff to use as a filmmaker. But once you get your audience there you can tell whatever story you want, and I feel like the best music films are not about music. I feel like music, in a way, is a prism through which you can tell any kind of story. Of all your documentaries, that’s especially true of “The Music of Strangers.” Probably. The questions that Yo-Yo’s been asking, that the Silk Road’s been asking, are questions about culture. So for me the film is one language, and music is one language, but they all fall (Continued on page 16)

Cristina Pato talks about “keeping the roots of the culture alive,” yet it seems for some that working to keep that alive sometimes disconnected them from it. It’s one reason I wanted to concentrate on some of these stories. In America we tend to take art and our artists for granted. We look at arts education as nice but expendable. And when you look at artists in other countries and see artists who’ve been expatriated or jailed or worse for their art, it reminds you that culture has stakes. All these countries, be it China or Syria or Iran or Spain, had had cultural revolutions, be it political or fascist or religious or economic cultural revolution — they’re not called “cultural” revolution by mistake. It’s because the easiest way to subjugate someone is to erase their culture. Kojiro Umezaki says Silk Road members felt a responsibility to “work harder” following 9/11. Did any recent global unrest similarly inspire you to make this film? How long did it take? Four-and-a-half years. I actually finished the film last August and we premiered it at Toronto and we took it to the Berlin festival in February. Seeing the difference in how the film played from Toronto to Berlin was tremendous. Obviously the refugee crisis is so urgent in Europe right

Jam sessions can break out anywhere in “The Music of Strangers” now, particularly in Germany. And it continues to evolve as the world continues to evolve. We didn’t set out to make a film about home and refugees and tradition and immigrants and all these ideas; it grew into that. But those are issues that are just becoming ever more acute. We actually just dubbed the film into Arabic and we’re screening it in refugee camps starting this week, which is amazing. I’m so happy that’s happening. One of the more poignant passages occurs when Kinan Azmeh talks in his New York apartment about his definition of home: “The place you want to contribute to without feeling you have to justify it.” Did you initiate the trip with him to the Zaatari refugee camp? He had actually planned a trip before, and I said, “We have to film that.” That’s the first time he had been to that camp. Now he’s made at least three or four trips to various camps. Wo Man is actually at that same camp today in Jordan. Aside from the camps, was there any place you felt a sense of volatility or threat? Not really. No. It’s interesting, because I think even filming in Istanbul now versus a year and a half ago would be different.

under this umbrella of culture. And culture can be food or language or music or film or art — any of those things. But they’re all manifestations of a certain sense of self-identity, and that’s the stuff that interested me. Yo-Yo’s been asking these questions of himself for a long time: “Does culture make a difference? How can culture be used as a tool for social change? Does what I’m doing matter?” Without knowing where the story was going to go, I knew those were questions I wanted to ask, and I knew I had a character who could take you there. And that was enough.

Istanbul’s been changing so much; I mean Turkey has. But we had an amazing experience. When we went to China, we had to do a sanctioned film shoot. I think a lot of American documentary filmmakers will just kind of shoot under the table, but because we were there with Yo-Yo we couldn’t do that. So we did an official shoot with the state, and then they assigned us a minder, which we were all quite worried about. Fortunately, it turned out our minder was 75 and all he cared about was reading his newspaper and sleeping on the bus. There’s a beautiful scene with Kalhor playing on a dark bridge; where was that filmed? There’s an amazing place called the Basilica Cistern. It’s hundreds and hundreds of years old, an underwater cooling system for the city of Istanbul. They opened it up for us. Doing that shoot was one of my favorite shoots of all time, really. You just live for locations like that, and to bring music like that into that location was kind of magical. I didn’t even realize this, but Kayhan’s never really talked about the things he talked about in the film to people. Even members of the ensemble had never

ady-made rom our huge over the world.

HAT ANTED

Outcomes aren’t certain with documentaries, especially one with such a broad scope. Did you have preconceptions of how to shape your film that got altered? Oh, always. Preconceptions are dangerous. [Laughs.] I think feature filmmaking is often about what’s your voice and what do you want to say, and documentary filmmaking is about listening. The longer you do it the more confident you are that you’re going to find that thing on the way, if you listen hard enough and know how to capture it. “The Music of Strangers” opens at the Laemmle Monica Film Center (1332 2nd St., Santa Monica) on Friday, June 24.

heard him talk about those things. For him to open up took a lot of courage. That’s part of what this is all about. As a documentary filmmaker, the number one essential thing to have is trust, to build trust with people, to understand that they can be vulnerable around you and you can be vulnerable around them. In a way that’s very much what it’s like to be a musical collaborator too; it’s all about trust building. It takes time. That’s why it took four years.

Art’s Unfried Chicken is a healthier take on a Southern classic

By Richard Foss

richard@richardfoss.com

Lyfe Kitchen

12746 W. Jefferson Blvd. Playa Vista (424) 353-9003 lyfekitchen.com If you ask people about the things they like in a restaurant experience, character is likely to be on the list. If you look at what people actually do, you get a different story. As much as culinary enthusiasts like me dislike the fact, chain restaurants rule the marketplace. Their food isn’t thrilling, but it’s consistent — and that’s what people really want. When a category of dining gets its own chain, that’s when it starts losing character and making money. In the last few decades healthy dining has gone from quirky to mainstream, and there’s a race on to see who creates successful fast food and quick-serve versions. Lyfe Kitchen, which opened a location in the Runway at Playa Vista earlier this year, is in the running for the latter. Despite a slick presentation and

generally good food, however, there are still some rough edges in their operation. First impressions count, and this one is well thought out: You enter past a nice patio and a tower of herbs under grow lights

The problem is that you probably don’t know what you want, and they don’t make it easy to figure that out. A very, very minimalist menu is posted both along the wall by the place where you order and behind the counter. Although it has symbols to tell you what is vegetarian or gluten-free, it’s very short on

In each case there were surprises, most of them welcome: (Continued on page 18)

the burrito came with a spicy salsa, the flatbread with a drizzle of balsamic dressing, the frittata with a side of fried potatoes with chipotle sauce. We had asked for the flatbread to be served first because we wanted it as an appetizer, but everything came at once. The crust was biscuit-like rather than bready, which I happen to like, and the cheese was nicely toasted, but the kitchen had been a bit heavy-handed with the balsamic dressing. I’d get this again but ask for the dressing on the side. The breakfast burrito contained egg, cheese and spinach in a whole wheat tortilla. It was OK, but bland without the salsa. The burrito would have been better with some grilled onions and sausage in the mix, and since they serve turkey breakfast sausage here, that could probably be added. The spinach, avocado and cheese frittata was the most successful item — well-made and appealing to the eye, thanks to a topping of chopped green onions. The side potatoes

arrived crisp and drizzled with a good mild chipotle sauce. We paired our breakfast with a coffee and a latte (free refills on the coffee) and spent a modest $15 each. There was enough potential that we returned the next day for dinner, ordering a bowl of spicy chicken and kale soup, a mushroom, chicken and spinach penne, and something called Art’s unfried chicken. Wine, beer and house-made soft drinks were offered, and I had a glass of decent organic red while my wife had a refreshing lime cooler. We took our seats by the tower of herbs and noticed something amusing: the names on the side of the planter had nothing to do with what was growing inside. There were dozens of names but just chives, rosemary and a few other standard herbs, and we hoped no kid tried to pass a botany class based on what they had seen here. The spicy chicken and kale soup was a daily special described as containing kale and chicken, but there was only a bit of each in the large bowl of zesty chili and tomato broth that arrived. It was not at all what I

expected, but it was very good. The pasta with mushrooms and chicken was exactly what we expected, made with an intense and musky mushroom stock. Whole wheat pasta always has a slightly less-delicate texture than white flour pasta, but they make it well here and it was a good canvas for the other items. The other item, the “unfried” chicken, was less successful. It was an attempt to replicate fried chicken by taking a thin slice of chicken breast, sprinkling it with breading and running it into an oven. The breading wasn’t crisp and didn’t have enough spice to be interesting, so it didn’t add much to the dish. The Brussels sprouts with squash that arrived with it were excellent, made with dried cranberries and cashew cream sauce, and helped redeem the dinner. Based on these two meals, Lyfe Kitchen has potential but needs some work — particularly on their communication with customers about the actual content of menu items. The demand for healthy eating is here to stay, and someone is going to make a lot of money catering to that need.

Funny Can’t Hide for Long Word of the Blind Barber Secret Comedy Show is traveling fast Photos by Nogen Beck

Grant Lyon, Andy Peters, Nick Anthony and Dave Waite put on a secret comedy show once a month By Christina Campodonico

The Blind Barber Secret Comedy Show was literally born in a bar. Standup comedian Grant Lyon and three of his pals were carousing through Culver City on a pub crawl one night and were making their last stop at the Blind Barber, a speakeasy-style bar tucked behind a barbershop on Washington Boulevard. “At 2 a.m. one of the managers of the Blind Barber came up and was like, ‘Either you guys got to leave right now, or you got to play musical chairs with us,’” recalls Lyon. “Well obviously we’re going to play musical chairs.” After a couple of rounds the management staff got to talking with Lyon and his drinking buddies — comedians Davie Waite, Andy Peters and Nick Anthony — about what it would take to put on a comedy show in the Blind Barber. “I was like, ‘Well if you want to do a comedy show, I think you need a little stage right here. You might need to put a light right there. You need to do this, you need to do that. … And they were like, ‘Eh, you know a lot about this. Do you guys want to do a comedy show here?’” says Lyon. “It really was just like a happy marriage between right place, right time, and the stars aligned.” For the past three years, Lyon and his comedian friends have

been putting on a semi-secret comedy show at the Blind Barber on the last Monday of each month. After a brief hiatus in May to honor Memorial Day, the Blind Barber Secret Comedy show returned to the bar where it was born earlier this month and resumes its regular schedule on Monday, June 27. Like a good inside joke, the Blind Barber Secret Comedy Show is one of those things that you have “to be in the know to know about,” says Lyon. The Blind Barber restaurant/bar itself is a “hidden gem,” he says, and the speakeasy’s semi-secretive location gives the show an exclusive, backroom kind of vibe. And while the shows are free, you have to get on the guest list to attend. “You don’t have to be ‘somebody’ to be on the list,” says Lyon. “Anybody is welcome to be on the list. You just have to find out about it.” (It’s not that hard, he adds: “If you Google ‘Blind Barber Comedy Show,’ I’m sure you’re gonna find the email address and how to get on the list.” Another hint: Keep reading.) But once you receive the secret comedy show’s email invite with the upcoming show’s lineup, you have to RSVP fast — within minutes — say regulars, before spots completely fill up.

It’s all laughs from there, so to speak. Check in at the front of the barbershop, go through the coatroom door to enter the backroom bar, grab a seat or table, order up some drinks or grilled cheeses, (the backroom bar/restaurant specializes in the gourmet kind), and get ready to hoot and holler at some of the funniest names in show business. Standups who’ve appeared on Comedy Central, “Last Comic Standing,” “The Late Late Show,” and “The Tonight Show” make regular appearances, and comic greats such as Tom Segura, Bobcat Goldthwait and Retta have also been featured on past lineups. “They usually have goodquality comedy,” says regular Stephanie Morgan. “It’s comedians that have an established career or have a good track record of getting the good laughs.” But one of the best parts about the show is still the price tag, says Morgan. “Who doesn’t love a comedy show? Especially if it’s free.” The next Blind Barber Secret Comedy Shows is on Monday, June 27, at the Blind Barber, 10797 Washington Blvd., Culver City.

Not Quite ‘Fair and Balanced’

Finding inspiration (and terror) in Fox News, a Dutch composer rips an opera from the headlines By Christina Campodonico For Dutch composer JacobTV, American media culture inspires both fascination and disdain. As a kid growing up in post-war Europe, he loved the pops of American color and sound that crossed the Atlantic over the airwaves. “Walt Disney, Hollywood, rock ‘n’ roll — everything that was attractive came from your country,” says JacobTV, born Jacob Ter Veldhuis, over the phone. “So for me, even now, although I visit your country three or four times a year, America is still somewhat exotic.” Known as “the Andy Warhol of new music,” JacobTV loves watching Fox News for its entertainment value. He calls Sarah Palin a “timeless” example of a 21st-century politician, though the rhetoric espoused by her and other conservative mouthpieces makes him shudder. But it was another shiver of sorts that inspired JacobTV to take his fascination with the media to a whole new level. He was strolling through downtown Chicago on a freezing cold day when he saw the ABC7 news studio lit up through a glass façade. Inside anchors were sitting at their desks, sipping coffee, chatting and having their makeup touched up. “You see the anchors sitting through a glass wall and you see the city reflected in that glass wall — the skyline of Chicago. So I saw two things: I saw the media and I saw the world,” he recalls. “And in a split second, I knew what I wanted to do.” That spark of inspiration gave birth to “The News,” a reality opera that puts today’s 24/7 infotainment news cycle under the microscope with two singing anchors, a nine-piece band and a series of video clips and interviews culled from TV news broadcasts. Donald Trump even makes an “appearance” or two. Director Tanya Kane-Parry describes the multimedia media mash-up as the “The Daily Show” meets the theater. “If Jon Stewart wrote an opera, it would be ‘The News,’” she says.

While out to dinner with his wife in Rome, he happened to strike up a conversation with a journalist from one of Italy’s leading newspapers. “The next day I had a long article [about me] in La Repubblica saying, ‘Dutch Artist censored by Museum,’” says JacobTV. “We had a full house.” Donald Trump takes the place of Berlusconi in Long Beach Opera’s iteration of “The News,” yet JacobTV has not always been able to play so fast and loose with freedom of speech in other scenarios. When he took the production to Moscow in November of last year, he was warned to tread carefully on the subject of President Vladimir Putin in his show. “The Dutch ambassador invited me for lunch. Can you imagine what he asked? He said, ‘Please, JacobTV, can you be Vocalists Loire Cotler (left) and Maeve Hoglund (right) sing about the very, very careful here with what you’re news in a multimedia opera by JacobTV (center) doing with your show.

Burglary Blues Musicians rally around local blues hero Guitar Shorty for a fundraiser to replace his stolen gear

PAGE 34 THE ARGONAUT June 23, 2016

Photo by Dan Monick

By Bliss Bowen Early last month, veteran blues guitarist Guitar Shorty joined the ranks of musicians who’ve opened their house or motel doors to discover they’ve been robbed. In a May 7 Facebook post, he wrote: “My touring van has been stolen this morning 3-6am near my house, soon after I got home from a show. A burgundy 2006 Ford van with a white 5x10 trailer. It has ‘Guitar Shorty’ written on the sides of the van. All of my guitars, amps and equipment and much more was there.” The value of the items stolen was initially estimated to be $30,000; that number has since been revised upward. Bassist Cra Z. Tomes immediately started a GoFundMe campaign to help underwrite the cost of replacing Shorty’s gear, and the music community has rallied with benefits, including an all-star jam two weeks ago with Coco Montoya, Tony Braunagel and Kirk Fletcher at Harvelle’s in Long Beach. Another fundraising show is happening next Thursday, June 30, at Harvelle’s in Santa Monica. At press time, the Delgado Brothers, Dennis Jones, and Johnny Maines & the 44’s are scheduled to perform, along with Shorty’s band. “I believe Shorty will play,” says Hunter & the Dirty Jacks guitarist Jon Siembieda, who is helping to coordinate the event. “And I’m talking to a couple of other guys. Jeff Dale, a Chicago blues guy who was Honeyboy Edwards’ musical director — he’ll do a set and open up. I’ll probably jam with him and Carmello Bonaventura, our lead guitar player.” The theft is all the more egregious because of how much Guitar Shorty has contributed to local artists and causes, as well as the broader field of American rock and blues. “Ever since the Delgado Brothers came on the blues scene in the late ’80s, Guitar Shorty has been a mentor, one of our favorite local heroes and friend,” says guitarist Joey Delgado. “We are honored to help him in any way we can get him back onstage where he belongs.” Born David William Kearney in Houston in 1934, Shorty grew up in Florida, where he started playing as a kid and earned his stage name. A yearlong stint backing Ray Charles was followed by a New Orleans sojourn in Guitar Slim’s band; from there he moved to Los Angeles to play with Sam Cooke. Renowned for his slicing guitar tone and wild man stage antics, he worked the club circuit up and down the West Coast and into Canada, and recorded singles for Pull Records in L.A. Eventually he married, and then made a fan of his wife Marcia’s half-brother: future rock legend Jimi Hendrix, who at the time was still enlisted in Army. As the

For the past two-and-ahalf decades he’s been recording wellreceived albums; his most recent, “Bare Knuckle,” was released by Alligator Records in 2010. “He’s inspiring because the guy’s 81 and he’s still rocking,” Siembieda says. “I saw him last summer when he did a charity show with Walter Trout and Arthur Adams, and he was killing it — he

When we did a charity show, he rolled up in his van and he was cranking his album, and he was like, ‘Yo, what’s up?’ He’s a cool guy.” It feels like every month — sometimes every week — there’s another Facebook post from bands asking fans to keep an eye out online and at pawn shops for their missing gear. Musicians are all too

frequent targets of thieves; the Decemberists, Dinosaur Jr., Grimes, Mumford & Sons, Tom Petty, Portugal the Man, the Raveonettes and Sonic Youth all made the news in recent years when their gear was stolen. It’s a steep loss for anyone, but especially so for independent artists whose careers can be stalled or even ended by the expense of replacing the tools of their trade. “It’s ridiculous,” Siembieda says. “You know what I mean? It’s bad for anybody, and guys in my band have been robbed of gear. But that guy’s 81 and he took it real hard. He’s kind of shellshocked. It’s really sad. So we need to do something for Shorty.” The Guitar Shorty Blues Benefit is at 9 p.m. Thursday, June 30, at Harvelle’s, 1432 4th St., Santa Monica. $10 minimum donation suggested. Call (310) 395-1676 to reach Harvelle’s or donate online at gofundme. com/23swg7g6.

The Edicts of a Prince Correspondence collection lets viewers look into the mind of enigmatic artist Richard Prince

PAGE 36 THE ARGONAUT June 23, 2016

Images courtesy of Edward Cella Art + Architecture

By Christina Campodonico To some, Richard Prince is a genius. To others he’s a fraud. The millionaire appropriation artist rose to fame and fortune in the 1980s for re-photographing cowboys in Marlboro cigarette ads and then shook up the art world again for painting on blown-up images of nurses from pulp fiction paperbacks in the early 2000s. One of these nurse paintings even fetched over $8.5 million at auction. More recently, Prince has been embroiled in lawsuits involving appropriations of photographs of Sex Pistol’s bass player Sid Vicious and posts the artist culled from his Instagram feed, screen-grabbed, enlarged, printed and sold for as much as $100,000 a pop. Yet when producer, writer and collector Douglas Blair Turnbaugh first met Prince in the late 1970s, he didn’t think that the young artist would go very far. “Thousands of people come to make their mark in New York. And I thought, ‘Oh God. Here’s another nice young man who’s going to, well, fail,’” says Turnbaugh. But seeing an early work by Prince completely changed his mind. “Just imagine a table. It had a white sheet thrown over it and it was pierced with wooden dowels, which were kind of pencil-shaped. They were painted blood red and they pierced the sheet … and it was called, ‘Born to Draw,’” recalls Turnbaugh, who was astonished by the work’s gorgeous colors, incredible beauty and sublime expression of “the pain of trying to be an artist.” “I thought I saw a masterpiece.” Buying one of Prince’s early works for $150, Turnbaugh became not only one of the artist’s earliest collectors and devotees, but also a close friend and pen pal. From 1977 to 1988, Prince sent birthday cards, art show invitations, doodles with dirty jokes, and postcards and letters from his world travels to Turnbaugh. Resolving to collect everything written about Prince, Turnbaugh kept many of these “tokens of friendship.” Over 200 of them are now on view at Edward Cella Art + Architecture on La Cienega’s gallery row. The collection of rare and many never-before-seen artworks, ephemera and personal correspondence represents a “critical moment” in the life of Richard Prince, says gallerist Edward Cella. “As an artist he goes from almost complete anonymity to great success in this short period of time, and the works in this collection document that rapid

A Richard Prince photo of a Polo cologne bottle (top left), a postcard from Hollywood signed by Prince (bottom left), and a Prince portrait of collector Douglas Turnbaugh and significant transition in his life and his work,” says Cella. Curator Carole Ann Klonarides says that the exhibition reveals an intimate rapport between the artist and his patron.

flopped down and I did my line around him … and it’s finished and he said you didn’t draw my dick!” recalls Turnbaugh. “And I said, ‘Richard, it’s a silhouette. Don’t you understand it’s a silhouette! ...

I said,‘Richard, it’s a silhouette. Don’t you understand it’s a silhouette! ... If you want, you draw them in. So there’s a penis on the drawing.” — Douglas Blair Turnbaugh

“They kind of feed off of each other in a very seductive, almost love-affair way,” she says, metaphorically speaking. Turnbaugh insists that the pair was never romantically involved, but Prince’s notes to Turnbaugh play on their friendly familiarity with each other. They’re peppered with innuendo, illustrations and jokes about, shall we say, a certain part of the male anatomy. But that was par for the course with Prince, says Turnbaugh. One time when Turnbaugh was working on a series of nude drawings in the style of crime scene chalk body outlines, Prince was so insulted that his friend hadn’t asked him to pose that he ripped off his clothes and laid on the ground for Turnbaugh to draw him. “He was so enthusiastic about the idea,

If you want, you draw them in. So there’s a penis on the drawing.” You can see the final product in a photograph of Turnbaugh, lounging on his side wearing a black leather jacket given to him by Prince. Above him is the drawing of Prince with his boots and genitalia clearly outlined — a proto-dick pic if you will. While many pieces in the show do show Prince’s bravado, they also show a more vulnerable side of the artist. In one letter to Turnbaugh, Prince confesses anxiety over the artistic merit of his work. “When will this explode? People still don’t quite no [sic] what to make of my work. Sixteen year olds seem to be like it,” he writes from London. In another, he expresses his uncertainty about the economic viability of his artistic career.

“Christ, I don’t know about this large photo making — it just doesn’t seem financially plausible,” he writes in a 1981 letter from Houston. Another letter from 1981 reads: “God, do I hate the business side of art. It just doesn’t mix — it does of course if you [are] phenomenally popular and prove to be the meal ticket. To be a meal ticket is to have someone’s undivided attention.” Prince’s fears of not being appreciated or compensated for his art no longer hold water in the years since he wrote these letters, but they are also prescient of the worldwide attention Prince would garner for his provocative way of presenting art and reaping the profits. “He told me when we first met that his big ambition in life was to write a song that would be playing on all the car radios all across America. And I thought that was a very peculiar ambition,” says Turnbaugh. “But you need to translate it. He meant he wanted to be famous, and he is.” The Douglas Blair Turnbaugh Collection (1977-1988) is on view through July 30 at Edward Cella Art & Architecture, 2754 S. La Cienega Blvd., West L.A.

$10,000 REWARD NOTICE The City of Los Angeles offers a reward payable at the discretion of the City Council to one or more persons in the sum or sums up to an aggregate maximum total sum of $10,000 for information leading to the identification and apprehension of the person or persons responsible for the ACT OF VANDALISM, in the City of Los Angeles. On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, an egregious and disgraceful act of vandalism was discovered on an historic Venice mural dedicated to 2,273 POW’s and troops declared Missing in Action during the Vietnam War. The enormous mural was painted in the early 1990s on the exterior wall of the former Division 6 bus yard owned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, located at 100 Sunset Avenue. To further compound the enormity of this desecration, the mural had no protective anti-graffiti coating, so removal of the vandals’ paint will destroy portions of the mural itself, and the artist who painted the mural in the early 1990s is now deceased. As a result, an artist will need to re-create some of the most damaged portions, in addition to undertaking extensive rehabilitation and restoration work. The person or persons responsible for this crime represent an ongoing threat to the safety of the people of Los Angeles. Unless withdrawn or paid by City Council action, this offer of reward shall terminate on, and have no effect after, DECEMBER 20, 2016. The provisions of payment and all other considerations shall be governed by Chapter 12 of Division 19 of the LAAC Code, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 158157 and 166666. This offer shall be given upon the condition that all claimants provide continued cooperation within the criminal justice system relative to this case and is not available to public officers or employees of the City, their families, persons in law enforcement or persons whose misconduct prompted this reward. If you have any information regarding this case, please call the Los Angeles Police Department at 1-877-LAWFULL, 24 hours. C. F. No. 16-0010-s23 6/23/16 CNS-2894689# THE ARGONAUT
