L e t t e r s Stay Tuned for the Sequel Re: “Battle for the Berm,” News, Aug. 9 We’re all looking forward to “Battle for the Berm – Part II,” where the plot thickens. Some highlights from the rushes might include: (1) how grateful the Del Rey neighborhood is for Councilmember Mike Bonin’s public support of the appeal (previously unnoted) opposing Toyota’s plans for an auto storage and display facility along the 90 Freeway;

(2) how proud the neighborhood is of the Del Rey Neighborhood Council, rescinding its 2016 support of Toyota and stating its current opposition to the Toyota auto storage and display facility before the West L.A. Area Planning Commission; (3) how grateful the Del Rey neighborhood is that the California Coastal Commission has sent letters to City Planning and Toyota, clarifying that there are wetlands on the site and there is no dispute over that;

(4) how tired the Del Rey neighborhood is, waiting alongside the Coastal Commission and the city Planning Commission, for Toyota to complete a wetlands delineation study, and amazed at Toyota’s consultant, quoted as saying, “We felt it wouldn’t be fair to continue without the study”; (5) how astonished the Del Rey community is that in 10 years, Toyota has never secured its land in order to prevent encampments or campfires, keeping people off of its land, and finally;

(6) reminding everyone that 4,100 tons of asphalt blanketing 2.5 acres of what used to be woodlands, grasslands and wetland sites covering an A-1 agricultural zone would be a disgrace to the Del Rey community — forever.

Stay tuned.

Helen Coyne-Hoerle, Del Rey Scooter Problems Can Be Solved Re: “The Summer of the Scooter,” Cover Story, Aug. 2

Thank you for your thorough coverage of dockless scooters.

While other news sources just report on cities banning them, it’s nice to read about cities trying to make them work. The scooters are an eco-friendly and convenient way to get around. I used one to pick up my car from repair.

The scooters do present problems and risks, primarily to the riders who don’t obey the (Continued on page 31)

The Dirty War on the Free Press Calling journalists “the enemy of the people” is politically expedient but patently un-American

Honoring this year’s great crop of green chiles from Hatch, New Mexico, we’re “Hatching” tasty celebrations in many departments.

Get ready for our upcoming roasting events: visit gelsons.com.

Illustration by Steve Greenberg

Today’s hyper-polarized, ideology-driven political culture makes it nearly impossible to question, criticize, praise or even simply analyze the words and actions of President Donald Trump without many readers leaping to conclusions about perceived bias and imagined ulterior motives.

As an organization that is primarily dedicated to local affairs and has endorsed both Republicans and Democrats for elected office, we ask you to momentarily put such reflexes aside and consider the dangers — both to democratic society and your own mind — of allowing someone who has power over you to dictate what and whom you can or cannot believe.

The president’s unrelenting campaign to destabilize, demonize and delegitimize the American free press may energize the most aggrieved among his fervent political base, but it’s a dangerous Machiavellian game that leaves nothing to believe in except power for its own sake. Repeatedly declaring journalists “the enemy of the people” utilizes tactics of the French Revolution’s bloody “reign of terror,” Nazi Germany, Maoist China and the Soviet

Union to eliminate dissent and discourage free thought. There could be nothing more un-American.

ing the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances,” reads the

foundational First Amendment to our Constitution.

The White House may not be asking Congress to abridge freedom of the press, but it is waging a dirty psychological war to erode public belief in press freedom. Last week the market research firm Ipsos released findings of a pubic poll that 26% of 1,003 Americans surveyed believe “the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” including (but not exclusively) 43% of those who identify Republican — once a party that believed in reducing, not expanding, the reach of government.

While it may be easy to point the finger at Republicans for rewarding rather than rejecting Trump’s attacks on the press, to do so would ignore that Democrats and independents aren’t exactly leaping at the chance to defend it. Perhaps that’s because real journalism, even when it tilts a little to the left or right, holds the powerful accountable regardless of (Continued on page 31)

Bye-Bye Birdies?

Santa Monica might replace Bird and Lime with electric scooter fleets run by Lyft and Uber Photo by Maria Martin

By Gary Walker Electric scooters will continue to zip along Santa Monica streets for the foreseeable future, but the companies that were first to launch the polarizing alternative transportation phenomenon here may be forced out of town as early as Sept. 16.

Under a pilot program to regulate electric scooters and electric bicycles that would sanction only two private fleet operators in each category, a committee of city staffers ranked proposals by potential operators based on various criteria that included specific operational plans for Santa Monica, public education and engagement strategies, legal compliance track record, and strategies to address safety and nuisance issues.

That committee ranked Bird — the local company that was first to market and first to clash with Santa Monica City Hall — near the bottom of the electric scooter list, with a particularly low score for compliance. Lime, a Northern California company that launched its fleet a few months later, ranked fourth out of 12 for both bikes and scooters.

The top two proposals for bikes and scooters came from: (1) the rideshare company Lyft, which in June integrated

Bird and Lime supporters picketed Santa Monica City Hall on Tuesday after a city committee released recommendations to replace their electric scooters with fleets owned by Lyft and Uber Big Blue Bus service into its rideshare app; and (2) JUMP, which created the bicycles utilized by the city-operated Breeze Bike Share program and was recently acquired by Uber.

Speaking on background, Jump officials said their service would seamlessly integrate scooter, electric bicycle and rideshare availability into a single phone app, and that existing operations in San Francisco have shown users to overwhelmingly prefer pedal-assist bikes over

rideshare for short trips.

Whether to displace Bird and Lime in favor of Lyft and JUMP as of Sept. 17 is ultimately up to a vote of the Santa Monica City Council. Meanwhile, members of the public can submit written comments to the city via kyle. kozar@smgov.net (use subject line “Shared Mobility Pilot Program”) until 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17.

Crying foul at the prospect of being locked out of the city after pioneering

scooter technology there, Bird and Lime deactivated their Santa Monica fleets on Tuesday as part of a “Day without a Scooter” protest that encouraged supporters to attend a rally later that day at Santa Monica City Hall.

More than 250 Bird or Lime supporters, many clad in the companies’ brand-identifying black or green, turned out for the boisterous gathering that even included a rap trio calling itself “the Bird Group” (not affiliated with the company, a Bird representative clarified). To kick things off, a parade of 25 independent contractors who charge Lime scooters — “juicers,” they call themselves — arrived on scooters just before 5 p.m., with a phalanx of Bird riders arriving a few minutes later.

Bird Chief Legal Officer David Estrada acknowledged that Bird hadn’t made a great first impression on Santa Monica city leaders, but said the company had made great strides in compliance since its initial launch last year. He called the commission’s recommendation to exclude Bird a “good slap in the face.”

“It’s been a long road of working to get better. We’ve worked hard to get better and we have a lot more to do,” Estrada told the crowd.

Rescue Ambulance 862 is Go! Firefighters hope to reduce emergency medical response times in Mar Vista and Venice

PAGE 8 THE ARGONAUT August 16, 2018

Photo by Maria Martin

A new rescue ambulance at Fire Station 62 in Mar Vista will both supplement existing coverage of busy Venice Beach and reduce emergency response times in Mar Vista and other Westside neighborhoods, city fire officials say.

Staffed by two firefighter-EMTs, Rescue Ambulance 862 rolled into Fire Station 62 on Monday and is now in action from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

“We can get so busy here, especially with Venice Beach being so close, that sometimes we have to divert resources to other locations. Having an extra resource like this rescue ambulance will translate into faster response times and less wait time,” said Capt. Darin Laier, who was awarded the LAFD’s Medal of Honor two years ago for rescuing a teenage drowning victim.

Response times for Station 62 are currently six minutes and 27 seconds for emergency medical service, according to the LAFD’s website, and six minutes and 32 seconds for non-emergency responses,

Firefighters pose in front of their new ambulance with LAFD Deputy Chief Armando Hogan (fourth from left), L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin and Station 62 Capt.

at Fire Station 62, LAFD Deputy Chief Armando Hogan said.

“Station 62 averages between 16 and 22 calls a shift, and Station 63 in Venice around 15 calls a shift. So now we have this resource that can help us expand our service and give us more flexibility with our coverage,” said Hogan, commander of the department’s West Bureau. “Our advanced lifesaving teams will now be able to respond specifically to those more traumatic incidents, like heart attacks and severe traffic accidents.”

It was a “heavy lift” to get the ambulance for Mar Vista during last year’s budget discussions, “but it’s part of our commitment to public safety,” Bonin said. “After years of budget cuts that decimated LAFD, I made it a priority to restore these types of services in my district.”

Hogan said the department hopes to eventually expand Rescue Ambulance 862 to 24/7 service.

Don’t Redline the Coast Legado’s attorney says opponents are twisting the Coastal Act to reduce beach access

By Benjamin M. Reznik Reznik is a land use attorney representing the Legado Companies in their efforts to build on Culver Boulevard.

The commercially zoned lot at 138 Culver Blvd. in Playa del Rey — two blocks from the ocean and owned by my client, Legado — has been empty for many years, having been a gas station in the past. We obtained approval from the city Planning Department for a density bonus project of 72 units, of which eight units (11%) are very low income units that will be subsidized for 55 years by the

enhance public access to the coast,” “protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas,” “be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas,” and so on.

The Planning Department found that this project actually enhances public access to the coast, as it provides new housing at the coast and has retail and parking that will serve the visiting public.

But opponents argue that a four-story building violates the Coastal Act, and since the Coastal Act guidelines are subjective in nature, opponents are free to argue that they are being violated without the burden

some of the opponents have written on social media. One opponent wrote this: “I for one happily welcome visitors to our town (many of whom are our inland neighbors) for the 3-4 months of the year when so many people just love coming to the beach. In exchange for that we have our town mostly to ourselves for the rest of the year. In my book, that’s a great deal.”

Indeed, opponents want to turn the coastal zone into an “exclusionary zone.” Make no mistake, the fight against this project is intended to target a specific group of L.A. residents who heretofore have not had the

In the name of “protecting”the coast, opponents are actively denying people of lesser means and minorities access to the coast. owner of the project (which includes 7,500 square feet of ground-floor neighborhood retail).

Under state and city law, the density bonus allows for an additional floor or 11 feet in height above zoning restrictions, whichever is greater, in order to accommodate the additional units that are allowed. It is this additional floor that helps pay for (i.e. subsidize) the low-income units for the next 55 years.

Opponents argue that at four stories (48 feet in height), the building is too large. We provided evidence of scores of four-story buildings in the area, so opponents turned to the Coastal Act to argue that the building is “visually incompatible” for the Coastal Zone.

However, the building does not block views and is in the middle of the commercial part of Playa del Rey, at the terminus of Metro Line 115.

Opponents also argue that the Coastal Act governs over density bonus, notwithstanding the fact that the Coastal Act has no objective criteria for height, density, etc. Rather, it provides general guidelines for new development in the Coastal Zone, such as “maintain and

of providing objective evidence of adverse impacts or Coastal Act incompatibility. Total subjectivity.

And if the City Council goes along with this line of argument and denies this housing project, then for all practical purposes the Coastal Zone will have been turned into a “Red Line Zone” for any housing projects that include low-income units.

Why? Because all such projects require the use of density bonus incentives, thereby making them slightly larger and able to subsidize the cost of the low-income units.

So in the name of “protecting” the coast, opponents are actively denying people of lesser means and minorities access to the coast!

This is not a case where a proposed density bonus project looms over an adjacent neighbor’s house. The 138 Culver project is fully surrounded by public streets. No, this is a case of pernicious discrimination that must not be legitimized by the City Council. The Coastal Act was never intended to be a tool used to deny housing in the Coastal Zone.

And if you think I am overstating the case, just look at what

financial means to live in the Coastal Zone.

This point became all too evident at last month’s city Planning Commission hearing, where not one of the 50 people who spoke out against the project was a person of color or of a race other than white, while the nearly 100 supporters included a mixture of races and ethnicities.

One of the supporters even pointed this out to the commission, though he really didn’t have to because it was blatantly obvious.

Supporters included Playa del Rey locals as well as housing advocates, who argued that residents of all income levels should have the opportunity to live on the coast. While much has been written on how coastal access has been historically restricted through private property rights, physical gates and fences, and other physical means (see Steve Lopez columns in the LA Times), there is another form of coastal access being denied — but this time using the Coastal Act itself as the weapon! Hopefully, the L.A. City Council will act not to exclude housing, including low-income housing, from the Coastal Zone.

By Bliss Bowen “Beyond Baroque was great because it gave me everything, really. If it wasn’t for that, I would never have met John; if it wasn’t for that, there would be no X. If it wasn’t for that, my whole life would have been completely different. Who knows what would have happened? Would I have had a better life? Who knows, maybe. But it certainly has been a great life because of that.”

For X frontwoman Exene Cervenka, Venice’s Beyond Baroque — the nerve center of L.A.’s literary community, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year — is a family affair. It’s where she met first husband and X bandmate John Doe; it’s a place she shared with her second (now ex-) husband, actor and writer Viggo Mortensen; it’s a familiar haven for their Venice-dwelling son Henry; and it’s where she discovered the value of the individual voice that would be unleashed with X in the vanguard of L.A.’s exploding punk scene. Grateful memories of formative experiences there tumble forth while discussing X, who’ll play a free concert at Burton Chace Park this Saturday.

Cervenka happened upon Beyond Baroque shortly after moving to L.A. from Florida in 1976 thanks to CERT, a government job-training program; she learned typesetting and worked in the bookshop downstairs while living upstairs. Baltimore native Doe, who had also just moved to L.A., sought out the Venice literary hub in search of connection with “like-minded misfits” and bohemians. The two met at a poetry workshop; they owned little more than their admiration for each other’s creativity. X formed the following year.

Cervenka commanded attention with her bold sense of self and vintage fashion.

Surrounded in the Beyond Baroque community by poets such as Wanda Coleman (with whom she later recorded and toured), Kate Braverman, Bob Flanagan, Jack Grapes and Bill Mohr, Cervenka was like a sponge, soaking up inspiration and poetry at readings, consuming “tons of books” by the likes of Charles Bukowski and John Fante.

What attracted her most was the presence of poetry as a live art.

“I liked the live performance, the excitement of these interesting, crazy people coming together to do fun things. And there was a lot of that,” she says. “It was very much a live performance space.”

Exploring the literary center’s extensive library of small-press chapbooks — “books that were living history” — also proved revelatory.

“It was before the internet, when people had to make their own poetry books,” she explains. “No one was going to publish

those people. Publishing a book was a huge deal, just like making a record was a huge deal. To get a record out was almost impossible. So I had a lot of respect for everyone, and it was fun too.

We were a little bit outsiders, because we were like the drunken wild kids that came up out of nowhere and showed up at Beyond Baroque one day. But we all got along great and — I would say the same for John — we had a lot of respect for everyone there.” *** It’s been said that X evolved at the nexus of poetry and songwriting and punk, but it’s not like those elements were completely disparate. Doe, who ran a poetry series in Baltimore before moving to L.A., doesn’t “really see the difference” between poetry and songwriting, “except that poetry has a little less meter, sometimes, and can tackle more obscure kinds of things. …

“Pick a favorite artist, Guided By Voices or Joanna Newsom or even more traditional types: it’s all one thing. But, I would say that I knew I could make a living as a songwriter. Every poet knows that that’s just for self-expression and satisfaction.”

Like Cervenka, he also singles out Jim Caruso and Frances Dean Smith, a Santa

Monica poet better known as FrancEyE (and as Bukowski’s partner), for praise.

“I loved her,” Cervenka enthuses. “I got upset one time and said, ‘Every time I read people just laugh at me, what am I doing wrong?’ She said, ‘Oh, no, no,

underground denizens burst up the stairs of Brendan Mullen’s Masque club in Hollywood; and the combination of Cervenka and Doe’s edgy vocal chemistry, the band’s forceful musicality, and the poetic quality of their songs sealed X’s status as one of the most vital bands in the history of L.A. rock.

In 2016 Doe and co-curator/editor Tom DeSavia compiled a book about that consequential era, “Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk,” featuring chapters by Doe, Cervenka, and — Exene Cervenka peers such as Dave Alvin, Charlotte Caffey, Divine Horsemen/Flesh Eaters frontman (and poet) Chris D., and Mike they’re not laughing at you, they’re ment of X’s sound, she says.

Estrada also criticized the recommendation to give rideshare companies exclusive license to a business model designed to take cars off the streets.

“We and Lime both have the experience of serving you. But City Hall says, ‘Forget that, we want somebody new.

And who we want are someone who gives car rides every day,’” he said, triggering sustained boos from the crowd. “Our motivation is fewer cars, more energy.”

Rally attendee Indigo Miller, 24, said she suffers from scoliosis and finds riding Bird scooters more comfortable than driving. The Santa Monica resident and preschool teacher said the scooters have allowed her to stop using her car to get around town.

“I don’t want to spend the money on gas because I live in a city where Bird and Lime have made getting around much easier,” Miller said.

Santa Monica resident Jeri Palumbo described Lime as a very conscious company that cares about the environment.

“I believe this mode of transportation is the way of the future, especially in the larger cities where we have traffic congestion,” she said. “Both Bird and Lime have been big disruptors. No one expected them to explode in the manner

that they did. A lot of people have been leaving them in the right of way and in driveways, getting on the nerves of locals, and I think that has played a huge factor [in the committee’s decision].”

Lime CEO Toby Sun concurrently released a statement in defense of the company’s Santa Monica operations.

“As the most experienced shared bike and scooter company in the United States, we are disappointed by the city’s current proposal because Santa Monica riders deserve access to best-in-class technology,” he said. “Over the last four months, Lime has pioneered a shared scooter network in Santa Monica as a model for the nation. Since day one we have worked collaboratively with the city to design a program tailored to fit the community’s needs. It’s clear Santa Monica residents and visitors have enthusiastically embraced Lime, with over 180,000 unique riders choosing us as their affordable, zero-emission transportation option since we launched in April.”

“The important thing to remember is the selection process for the vendors is not final,” said city spokeswoman Constance Farrell. “We encourage people to weigh in via the selection process.”

Sisters Rhiana, Jade, Kira and Paige turned their dream of running a dance studio into a reality

Four-Part Harmony For the Diaz sisters, dance isn’t just a family business — it’s a way of life

By Brian Marks It’s not difficult to find images of dance studios in popular culture. Film and television abound with portrayals that feature grubby, poorly-lit studios run by grizzled and domineering former ballerinas.

That’s not the case with the Diaz Studio of Dance. Founded by four sisters, Diaz Studio maintains a bright, clean, state-ofthe-art setting in Culver City for dancers to work on their form and learn some new moves. Students of the budding dance school show off some of those moves on Sunday with an 11 a.m. mini-performance at the Mar Vista Farmers’ Market.

The Diaz sisters — Rhiana, Kira, Jade and Paige — have been dancing only slightly less time than they’ve been standing upright. Born and raised in Chicago, the four young girls were the beneficiaries of parents who instilled the joys of dancing from an early age.

“Our mom was born and raised in the heart of Chicago,” explains Kira. “She always said that when she was a little girl she would have loved to have been in dance classes, but growing up in the city it wasn’t really an option. So she always thought, ‘If I ever have little girls, I’m going to put them in dance lessons.’”

Rhiana, the eldest daughter, was the first to start dance lessons at age 2, but her younger sister Kira wasn’t far behind.

“I was in dance class as a really little girl, and here’s Kira,” says Rhiana. “They didn’t even make tap shoes small enough for her, so my mom bought little patent leather shoes and put taps on the bottom for her because she wanted to do tap.

So she was dancing before she was even in a class!”

The sisters’ professional training spans years of practicing ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and musical theater. Teachers include

famed dance luminaries Joel Hall and Avnun Yakubov as well as Roland Dupree, a dancer in the classic Hollywood era whose movements formed the template for the eponymous character in Walt Disney’s “Peter Pan.” The Diaz girls would go on to work as dancers and choreographers for an impressive list of the country’s largest media companies and organizations: ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, Apple, Radio Disney, Nickelodeon and Walt Disney World, just to name a few.

They’ve dabbled in other careers beyond dancing as well. Rhiana and Kira have both worked in advertising for much of the past decade, and Jade has worked in production for MTV Networks and Viacom in the last few years. Working in the entertainment industry necessitated a move to California, which made Culver City a logical choice when Jade first

pitched the idea of a dance studio to her sisters. The proximity to neighborhood schools, as well as major entertainment companies, made it an attractive location for both young students and adult dancers when it opened in April.

Visitors to the Diaz Studio of Dance enter through glass panels into a tastefully minimalist white waiting room, which transitions into the studio’s dance space. The studio area features colored lighting that responds to the music, giving dancers the feeling of being onstage in a professional production.

The studio’s floor is designed to absorb shock and extend the working life of a dancer. The floor is given a special spring through the weaving of wooden battens.

An Edible Education The Gourmandise School’s new digs are a culinary playground for connoisseurs and kitchen dabblers Photos by Ximena Kupferwasser

Chef John Pitblado’s secret to perfect fried chicken: dry it overnight before cooking refrigerator to dry out the outer layer.

Chef Gino Campagna, from Parma, Italy, laughs constantly as he crafts homemade pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. He’s probably the funniest chef you’ll ever meet, cracking jokes as well as eggs on the front of his

founders of The Gourmandise School, whips up chocolate chip cookies — billed for her demo as the “Single. Best.

Cookie. Ever.”

Gossett reveals pro tips, like don’t use warm butter or store-bought chocolate chips (because they contain wax), and

“This is a community center for people who like to cook.”

— Chef Clémence Gossett bald head. He’s a teacher for the kids’ courses, and as you watch him roll out noodles from scratch, you can see why.

He playfully interacts with his students, often asking for help. He’ll put angel hair pasta over his head like a wig, and makes the art of cooking fun and accessible.

Food is science. Nothing proves this proverb more than watching a cooking demo at The Gourmandise School of Sweets & Savories at Santa Monica Place.

On June 20, The Gourmandise School opened the doors to its new space in the shopping center not far from where it has operated since 2011. It’s three times bigger now — with two kitchens, instead of one.

Two weeks later, on a hot summer night, four professional chefs are prepping food for their upcoming demos in their areas of expertise. The Gourmandise School is celebrating its grand reopening with an explosion of edible treats.

Chef Carol Cotner Thompson begins her session on how to make amazing farmers market summer salads by sharing her philosophy on cooking: “You have to do it, experience it, make it.”

She spends more than half of the demo focusing on mixing different kinds of dressing, explaining that all good dressings have just three basic ingredients: oil, vinegar and minced shallots. Cotner also talks about the importance of clarity when shopping for white wine vinegar, what effect each type of vinegar (red and white wine, for instance, champagne or balsamic) has on food, and declares that balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, is the best.

In the adjoining room, separated by soundproof glass sliding doors, Chef John Pitblado creates a Southern masterpiece of fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits. The tender chicken melts in your mouth like butter. One of his secrets? Let the chicken pieces sit uncovered overnight in the

bang the cookie sheet as you take the finished cookies out of the oven to flatten them.

“We originally decided to open a cooking school because we were teaching around town and didn’t love any of the philosophy,” Gossett says.

the proper techniques without using a lot of gadgets or gimmicks. Feeling comfortable asking stupid questions is my favorite part of this.”

Gossett and her partner opened The Gourmandise School seven years ago on the third floor of the newly renovated Santa Monica Place.

“When the opportunity presented itself to open a school two blocks from the Wednesday Santa Monica Farmers Market, it felt like a no-brainer,” says Gossett. “Santa Monica Place was incredibly understanding of having an activated space where you can see people cooking all the time in the mall.”

In 2015, Gossett needed a new partner, and she approached Sabrina Ironside, who jumped onboard.

“I’m looking forward to taking this school to the next level,” says Ironside.

“My background is marketing, so I’m excited to work on generating awareness for what we’re doing here and evolving our brand.”

With their newly expanded space for classes and a larger retail area, things are really cooking for The Gourmandise School.

Their calendar is overflowing with a variety of classes, from Croissant Camp to lessons in how to make Lao cuisine, Salvadoran street food and Scandinavian pastries. There are also classes for kids and couples.

“This is a community center for people who like to cook — people who are cooks or people who want to learn,” says Gossett. “This is a space where you can come and learn simple, classic ways of making things using ingredients from the farmers market. I love coming to work. I get to come here and make cookies and bread with my friends.”

“We’re big on chocolate and grain here,” Gossett adds. “All you need in life is bread and chocolate.”

Singer Cindy Wasserman didn’t discover X until years later, but when she did, she says, “It kind of changed everything for me. The harmonies were so different from anything I’d ever heard, and the songwriting just spoke to my gut.”

X was a dominant influence for Dead Rock West, the acclaimed band Wasserman co-founded with Frank Lee Drennen in 1999. A mutual admiration society resulted: Wasserman has also sung harmony on solo tours behind Cervenka as well as Doe, who generally performs a handful of X songs, and both Cervenka and Doe have contributed to Dead Rock West recordings.

“I have had the pleasure of singing Exene’s part,” Wasserman says, “and whenever I’ve sung with either John or Exene, the audience blows my mind because it will be teenagers and people in their sixties — everyone totally in the moment, getting it, like it’s current.” *** Cervenka and Doe have remained friends since their 1985 divorce. But 40 years after meeting in Venice, things have inevitably changed. Cervenka lives in Orange; Doe relocated to Austin, Texas, about a year and a half ago; and innocent California dreams of affordable beachside living faded away with the ’70s.

“Life was manageable, and people could coexist pretty well,” Cervenka observes.

“That poetry scene merged with the punk scene immediately, and the main reason was Harvey Kubernik, because he was the poet guy who would set up studio time [in Hollywood] and get all these punk rockers to come down there, like the Minutemen and the Blasters and people who normally wouldn’t, and say, ‘Read a poem.’” She recounts a hilarious episode when Blasters drummer Bill Bateman was goaded into reading a store receipt out loud.

Poetry, like any art, needs to be alive if it’s to have enduring worth or meaning.

Otherwise, it falls prey to being packaged and commoditized — precisely the thing punk emerged to protest.

“It should be alive,” Cervenka agrees.

“Most art is not alive anymore because you don’t even have to leave your house to become an overnight successful artist.”

X songs like “Johnny Hit and Run Pauline” and “The World’s a Mess, It’s In My Kiss,” birthed in Cervenka and Doe’s cramped Hollywood apartment, have endured; they feel relevant to younger listeners who’ve never known a world without cellphones and Wi-Fi Doe says what punk represented in 1978 not only holds true in 2018 — “freedom and a do-it-yourself attitude” — it has also expanded.

“Now people can use the word ‘punk’ or punk rock as a kind of qualifier or shorthand for all those other things that people used to say was bohemian or PAGE 16 THE ARGONAUT August 16, 2018

X on a Hollywood rooftoop in 1981, after the success of “Los Angeles” and circa “Wild Gift” rebel,” he notes. “But they all kind of mean the same thing.” *** X’s original members — Doe, Exene, Zoom and drummer DJ Bonebrake — have been on the road with those songs this summer, promoting Fat Possum’s forthcoming remastered reissues of the

“Their performance was like a kinetic sculpture, as John bounded around the stage and Exene thrashed in its center as if the mic stand was the only thing holding her to the Earth.”

— Chris Morris

“There’s so many things that are virtual and digital and not born through blood, sweat and tears and fire and sliding off the road at two in the morning. … I think young people want to see that and they want to feel that.”

— John Doe band’s first four albums and opening some dates for the Psychedelic Furs. Asked if he ever feels like he’s caught in an ’80s timewarp, Doe says no.

“There’s always something different, and I don’t think I’m trying to protect myself from feeling [nostalgic] because there’s young people at the show, and they’re looking at Exene as a role model,” he says. “When I see that, I feel like we’ve succeeded. …

“There’s also an element of authenticity, which has become a buzzword lately.

There’s so many things that are virtual and

backward to a time when things were more analog.”

Doe recently wrote a song with Venice local Micah Nelson (aka Particle Kid), and on Black Friday Record Store Day a song X wrote and recorded with Garbage’s Shirley Manson and Duke Erikson will be released. Come fall, Doe, who has released 10 critically acclaimed solo albums, will be touring with his trio (bassist Dave Carpenter and drummer Stuart Johnson). Until then, he’s working on another book, “More Fun in the New World,” that he expects will be published

in June 2019.

“It’s about the era from ’82 to ’87, and everyone getting either disillusioned or somewhat famous and trying to negotiate and navigate the major label experience and drugs and destruction and the loss of community,” he explains. “One of Tom DeSavia’s and my partners, Krissy Teegerstrom, had a great idea to make it broader [than ‘Under the Big Black Sun’]: to include the legacy of what that era begat.” So in addition to a conversation between Doe and Henry Rollins and pieces by returnees Charlotte Caffey, Pleasant Gehman and Jane Wiedlin, there will also be chapters by artists “inspired by music of that period,” including Allison Anders, Shepard Fairey, Tim Robbins and Tony Hawk.

Community like that commemorated in the book remains important, essential even. But the geographical hubs that once made artists and musicians cohere, to some extent compelling them to hold each other accountable for the substance of their work, are no longer as prevalent.

Maybe that’s why Doe makes a rueful wisecrack about wishing people would pay a little more attention “to thinking and being.” (“And world peace,” he adds with a chuckle.)

“There are so many people doing so many forms of art and music … there is no underground anymore. If there was no internet, you would have more stuff spring up, but I look at all the things that people are doing, and maybe you don’t need a scene anymore,” Cervenka muses. “Maybe there don’t need to be scenes — just cool people working together and hanging out together and making up cool stuff.”

Peace, Love & the Soviet Union

‘Socialist Flower Power’ explores little-known hippie culture behind the Iron Curtain

By Sarah Davidson Imagining life under Soviet rule during the 1960s and ’70s probably doesn’t call to mind long-haired, peace-loving hippies walking around in peasant blouses and bell bottoms. But there were hippies in the U.S.S.R., and The Wende Museum in Culver City is exhibiting personal archives of several prominent members of this movement with “Socialist Flower Power: Soviet Hippie Culture” on view through Aug. 26.

The exhibit is part of a collaboration between the Wende Museum and the University of Bristol’s Dr. Juliane Fürst, who has devoted her career to studying dissidence and youth culture in late socialism (the time period from Stalin’s death to the beginning of Perestroika in the mid-1980s). Fürst contacted the owners of the archives, who shared photos, clothing items, drawings, video clips and more for a small but fascinating exhibit at the Wende.

Walking past the displays, it is stunning how precisely Soviet hippies recreated the aesthetic of their Western counterparts. In silvery black-and-white prints, longhaired, pale-skinned men and women puff on cigarettes, strum guitars and stage protests. Hand-written notes detail the effects and street names of LSD and marijuana, and drawings feature the psychedelic colors and swirls that

hippie culture early on when official Soviet journalists were assigned to write about the Western anti-capitalist movement in a positive way. And children of the nomenklatura (a class of communist party government and industry appointees) are credited with pioneering the trend after their parents came home from their travels with records by The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the ’80s, cultural restrictions loosened, making life a little easier for members of the counterculture. Many still live the hippie life today — eight of the archives’ donors made the trip to Los Angeles to speak about the exhibit earlier this summer. Segal says they still looked like hippies, and they donated their archives to prevent the erasure of a little-known cultural moment.

“This makes the story of the Soviet Union so much more complex and interesting, to know that there were all these subgroups,” Segal says. “It’s easy to stereotype and think that it was all oppression and lack of creativity, and that is certainly not true.”

“Socialist Flower Power: Soviet Hippie Culture” is on view through Aug. 26. at The Wende Museum, 10808 Culver Blvd., Culver City. Call (310) 216-1600 or visit wendemuseum.org.

The Outlaw King

Chris Stapleton brings his All-American Road Show to The Forum

By Bliss Bowen Once in a generation a voice comes along like Chris Stapleton’s electrifying tenor: “smooth as Tennessee whiskey … as sweet as strawberry wine,” as his signature hit goes, a thrilling instrument wielded with gusto by a country artist who properly recognizes his roots in soul, bluegrass and Southern rock.

In recent years Jason Isbell, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Margo Price and Sturgill Simpson have all arguably helped return outlaw spirit and literate intelligence to country music.

But when Stapleton, wife Morgane Stapleton (whose exquisite lockstep harmonies are like his sonic second self), and Justin Timberlake delivered an explosive mashup of “Tennessee Whiskey” and Timberlake’s “Drink You Away” at the CMA Awards in 2015, notice was served to the mainstream: Country music was on a new road, and from that night onward Stapleton was leading the way.

Stapleton took home three awards that night (for Album, Male Vocalist, and New Artist of the Year), and his album PAGE 28 THE ARGONAUT August 16, 2018

Chris Stapleton is a singular talent who’s redefining country music “Traveller” topped the Billboard 200 chart shortly thereafter. (It was certified triple platinum in June.) Since then he’s earned a truckload of AMA, ACM, ASCAP, CMA and Grammy Awards, and last year he released two widely praised albums, “From A Room” volumes one and two.

As a songwriter, the burly, bearded Kentuckian’s a genuine craftsman who paid a decade’s worth of dues writing hits

for Kenny Chesney, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton, among others. That won regard from Nashville industry honchos to match the respect he already commanded among fellow artists for his thorough grasp of country history and songwriting.

Currently barnstorming the country on a tour that extends well into the fall, Stapleton’s taken to bringing opener Brent

Cobb onstage to duet on Stapleton’s “Might as Well Get Stoned”; the longhaired Georgia native’s not in that vocal league, but he’s a damn fine songwriter who’s reintroducing country-funk grooves into country not heard since the late1960s/early-’70s heyday of J.J. Cale, Bobby Charles and Bobbie Gentry.

Onetime child prodigy turned elder statesman Marty Stuart, whose sartorial and guitar flash have been matched in recent years by newfound vocal resonance, occupies the tour’s middle slot with his accurately named Fabulous Superlatives band. Stapleton also invites him out during his set for a couple of duets on Stuart songs — generously giving props to friends and influences like a man who knows where he wants to go and also remembers where he’s from.

Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show with Brent Cobb and Marty Stuart rolls into The Forum (3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood) at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 18. Tickets are $39 to $243. Call (844) 379-0370 or visit chrisstapleton.com.

political ideology. Journalism is unlike any other business in that when no one’s happy it means you’re doing a good job.

But even the media — perhaps clinging too tightly to traditional values of objectivity, or afraid of alienating audiences and customers amid the industry’s unprecedented economic uncertainty — has failed to mount an adequate defense, choosing instead to breathlessly amplify a presidential Twitter account calling for our own demise. That’s why The Argonaut joins more than 100 news organizations across the country this week in answering the Boston Globe’s call to editorialize, in our own words, on behalf of the right to do our jobs.

The news media is far from perfect, but we ask you to choose media literacy — the ability to discern fact-based information from propaganda and “fake news” — over the cynical laziness of declaring all news fake unless it confirms preexisting beliefs.

Please support your local newspaper, or at least speak out against those who would attempt to tear it down.

Pay Nothing Until Your Case Is Resolved

laws meant to protect them. As the scooters are tech products made by tech companies, some of the problems have tech solutions. The business model is to make it easy for riders to quickly get on a scooter and go.

It would be better to slow them down a little for their first ride.

The cell phone app should include a training course, and an online test that must be passed before the first ride. The app takes a photo of your driver’s license, so couldn’t it also take a photo of your helmet?

People complain, justifiably, about scooters cluttering and obstructing sidewalks. But if Bird and Lime can pay people to drop off new scooters on our streets, they can surely pay people to tidy them up. It’s a lot better than a ban.
