Perry holds nothing back in her chat with Hoffman, a longer version of which can be seen on our blog.

PINKY’S CORNER

Join Cherri’s Tribute T

JMU O L YN T2H3 , 0 20 0, 0290 0/ 8 A /C W e eWkEly AC E K. C L YO. M COM

By Pinky Kravitz

HIS IS MY LAST OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE you to join me, my family, friends and readers to be part of a magnificent event in which we will pay tribute to Cherri Kravitz. It will be held at Maynard’s Café in Margate on Sunday, July 26, at 5pm.

Cherri was a dream girl. When you thought about having children, you prayed they would come into this world with an open mind and a love for their fellow human beings. All three of my children had this innate ability to help not only one another, but those around them in their society. Cherri always had a smile on her face and a willingness to help the children she taught and the friends with whom she grew up. She would often have some of them come to our house so that she could tutor them. Cherri lived with us throughout her entire 42 years. When her friends asked why she wouldn’t move out and get her own place, she asked “Why? I have it so good. I enjoy the most delicious meals anyone could enjoy, and I am surrounded with the love of my parents and my brothers. I come and go as I please and am never questioned about where I’ve been or what I’ve done.” When she became ill with cancer of the breast, she fought valiantly and did everything the doctors told her to do. But, unfortunately, it was not enough. On May 7, 2006, Cherri joined the angels in heaven.

For the many wonderful things that she did while she was on this earth, my family and I decided we needed to do something to perpetuate her name. Since she had taught for 18 years, and was always interested in helping the children get scholarships and assistance for their education, we felt the best way to pay tribute to her was to have a scholarship fund and continue her objective of helping young people enter college. And so began the Cherri Kravitz Scholarship Foundation. My sons and my daughter-in-laws and some of their friends and Cherri’s friends put together a fundraising event last year. Despite the heavy rain and flooding of the streets, the event was a success.

On Sunday, we will have the Second Annual Cherri Kravitz tribute. I hope you will join us, for if you do, you’ll hear wonderful stories about Cherri. You will meet her family and the friends who will regale you with the quality of this wonderful young lady who left this earth too soon. Donations are $15, and if you cannot make it but would like to send a contribution, please make your check payable to: Cherri Kravitz Scholarship Foundation, P.O. Box 2628, Ventnor City, N.J. 08406. There will be a complimentary buffet, a cash bar, entertainment and wonderful prizes from Chinese and silent auctions. I truly hope to see you there.

Boardwalk Committee Notes

A representative of the Lions Blind Center made a request to have a Braille map for those without vision in 20 locations along the Boardwalk, several in The Walk, at the police station and in the emergency room of the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Atlantic City campus. If this were to be done, as requested, Atlantic City would be the first city in the nation to be in complete compliance with the requests of the American Disabilities Association. The committee was asked to

adopt the resolution supporting this request and send it to City Council and Mayor Lorenzo Langford. The 35 people in attendance voted unanimously to approve this resolution, and it will be sent to the requested parties.

Representatives of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) stated that the bids for the construction of a garage on Fairmount Avenue will be approved in August. It is anticipated that work will begin in the fall for completion in late 2010. The CRDA reps also noted the work on widening Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard will begin in September with the demolition of the Post Office building and the other buildings on that avenue.

The CRDA will begin working on the extension of the street ends of the Boardwalk at New York and Texas avenues in the fall to provide space for tables and chairs for the food establishments there. The CRDA expects to finish the remaining blocks in need of new façades by next summer, and will then have completed almost every non-casino block on the Boardwalk with a new façade. It’s taken a few years to get this done, and the CRDA should be commended for providing the funds and expertise to refurbish the shops on the Boardwalk. It is a welcome sight.

The rest room facilities at Chelsea and New York avenues have new roofs and an entire new look. The Special Improvement District has a new robot machine that is currently cleaning the area between the dunes and the Boardwalk. It can pick up anything from a cigarette butt to a bottle, and has been doing a good job of cleaning that area where people throw things from the Boardwalk onto the beach. The turnaround of the number of people on the boards this year has increased since the cleanup began earlier this month, and there have been more people walking on the Boardwalk than this time last year.

Tom Lamaine, the former Philadelphia TV meteorologist, has expressed his concern about the condition of the Boardwalk — specifically the section at the inlet, which is quite dangerous. He stated that he requested City Council to use the $1.2 million it has for the Boardwalk to remove a dangerous section. He said that council approved it unanimously, 7-0, but it still hasn’t been done. He will go back to council and urge members to get the work started for the betterment of the people in the First Ward and in the entire community.

Lamaine was one of the first to buy a home on New Hampshire Avenue. It is in the same block where his parents live and where he was born and raised. He said he is devoting himself toward trying to improve A.C. and its environs.

The Boardwalk Committee will continue with its drive to reduce the height of the dunes, and use the removed sand to widen the dunes. n

Salgado Plays Somers Point Series

Last summer, entertainment entrepreneur Carmen Marotta, following the lead of his late father and owner of legendary bygone good-times purveyor Tony Mart’s, brought virtuoso guitarist Duke Robillard to the Somers Point Beach Concert Series. Robillard co-founded a horndriven, New-England-based ensemble called Roomful of Blues, and the lead singer/harmonica player for that Grammy Award-winning band from 1984-’86 was Curtis Salgado. Well, this summer Marotta tapped Salgado for the seventh installment of the 14-week concert series, and he’s scheduled to perform this Friday night (7pm, free), July 23, at William J. Morrow Memorial Beach in Somers Point. Salgado’s storied past includes being the lead singer for Santana and blues guitarist Robert Cray’s band, and the late comedian John Belushi was so inspired

by Salgado that he developed his Blues Brothers character around him. A cancer survivor, Salgado underwent a successful liver transplant in 2006 and last July released the double-entendre entitled CD Clean Getaway, which earned four National Blues Awards nominations including “Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year” and “Soul Blues Album of the Year.” “That album is unbelievable,” says Marotta. “It was done with the Phantom Blues Band and is really more funk and soul than blues, but it’s just a great, great album.” Says Salgado in an interview with the Web site JamBase.com: “If a song is sincere and you believe it, that’s soul. To me Pavarotti is as much a soul singer as Otis Redding. Merle Haggard and Hank Williams are soul singers as much as Sam Cooke. Soul is about heart and about belief.”

Free Ticket to Africa

The International Night Series, sponsored by the Atlantic City Free Public Library (ACFPL) and the City of Atlantic City, takes a journey to Africa this week. The Universal African Dance and Drum Ensemble will bring its blended style of performing to Kennedy Plaza Wednesday (July 29) on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. The Camdenoriginated program has been in existence since 1984 and has evolved into one of the largest professional African dance and drum ensembles in America. The group’s members hail from Camden, Philadelphia and Africa. It consists of people of all ages, young and old, from elementary school students to professionals. Their performances include stilt walking, dancing, drumming, ground masquerades and an acrobatic display. This will not be the ensemble’s first visit to the resort, as they have performed within the city on a number of prior occasions, most notably at Trump Taj Mahal, Showboat, and the bygone Sands casino. The show begins at 7pm and is free to the public. For more information, call the ACFPL at 345-2269. For more on the Universal African Dance and Drum Ensemble, visit unitycommunity.com, or call 856-365-4817 or 856-365-1226. — Chris Torres

when she was vacuuming, and she thought it was the real recording.”

Taylor wrote one and co-wrote two of the four songs on a demo CD entitled Unbreakable, and finds it somewhat cathartic to compose lyrics with music. “It’s an outlet for me,” she says. “In the same way people write things down in a journal as a release, I’ll put feelings I have down in a song because it seems to be a language I understand better.”

The vast majority of what she’ll perform at Ego and other venues are cover songs that the masses tend to recognize, largely because that’s standard operating procedure in casino lounges. She says that Ego, which features a sizable stage, dance floor and several private cabanas, gives her plenty of leeway in how she presents her show. “[The Taj executives] have given me a lot of liberties, and haven’t asserted that this is what you’re doing, this is what you’re wearing, or anything like that,” she says.

“That’s really nice. Ego picked up the show after it had already gained a little steam in Philly. They liked what they saw and kind of let me do it with the attitude that they won’t mess with it as long as it’s working. But I know my limits and won’t tempt the gods too much.

“I like this sort of performing best because you never really know what’s going to happen,” she adds. “When you’re doing a musical or an opera or a stage performance, you’re generally set back a ways from the audience, you’re in costume, you have cast members around you, and you have that degree of separation. When you’re doing a one-woman show you have to be ‘on’ because the audience is right in front of you and there’s no one to fall back on if you screw up. There’s no cast, dancers, backup singers — you’re it.” n

F DA N C I N G ’ S Y O U R P A S S I O N A N D Y O U ’ RE seeking a new spot to cut loose this summer, check out the Taj Mahal’s Ego Lounge on a Friday or Saturday evening. Doreen Taylor, a classically trained singer/songwriter/actress/dancer recently brought her acclaimed one-woman dance party from the Philadelphia club scene to the Taj’s contemporary 11,000-square-foot lounge. She sings hits from a number of genres like pop, rock, jazz, swing, country and disco, and when she’s not behind the mike she’s DJing during the four-hour (5-9pm) shindig. The show will be a weekend staple at the Taj through Sept. 5, except for Saturday, Aug. 22, when she’s booked to perform at another venue.

“I always joke that if you don’t like what you’re hearing, wait five minutes and it’ll change,” says Taylor, who grew up outside of Buffalo, N.Y., and has a Masters degree in opera performance from Temple University in Philly. “I’ve done shows where I’ve sung all Sinatra or Dean Martin, and I’ve done standards where it’s all jazz or all classics, but for this [show] it’s very high energy the entire time. It’s a non-stop, four-hour dance party designed to get people out on the dance floor.”

During the act Taylor mixes in trivia, prize giveaways and some occasional comedy (“Nothing so raunchy you can’t bring your mother to see it,” she says), and in between live sets she’ll spin records to keep things energetic.

“Sometimes a show will drag if you disappear for a while between sets and you lose people, so what I’ll do is DJ so that it’s non-stop from when I step on stage until the end,” she says. “And I’ll try to change it and mix things up from weekend to weekend.

“In Atlantic City, where a lot of people are just down for the weekend or visiting from other parts of the country or the world, you really can keep a show the same from week to week,” she adds. “But for me personally, I need to keep it lively, keep it fresh. It’s one of those things that’s always evolving somehow. Occasionally I’ll have a brainstorm at like three o’clock in the morning and get up and try to change it somehow.”

Taylor discovered at an early age, and through a somewhat circuitous connection with a vocal coach, that she has a multiple-octave range to her voice. Singing, dancing and show business was not a professional preference of hers early on, but when one of her closest friends told her “you have this in you, and somehow you’re going to do it,” the prospect began to take shape. It was a bit later, in Toronto, when she and her mother and grandmother saw a performance of Phantom of the Opera, that a sort of prophetic moment took place in her show business career.

“I was never one of those kids who sang in the choir, or sang in any kind of serious capacity,” she says. “But something happened to me when I saw that show, something touched me. My mom bought me the karaoke tracks [to Phantom], she heard me singing one time

NC E A G A I N , G R E E T I N G S A N D salutations. Hard to believe that this is the end of July and the summer will soon be winding down.

Fortunately, Labor Day is late this year, so we’ll have an extra week for fun in the sun and partying on the weekends at Memories in Margate. And this Friday, July 24, after our live at 5 broadcast from Chickie’s & Pete’s on Cruisin’ 92.1, I’ll be doing a show for Gov. Rendell and the National Conference of State Legislators on the steps of the Philly Art Museum, introducing Patti Labelle, Chubby Checker, the Soul Survivors — and then I’ll be heading on down to join you for our live broadcast at Memories on KOOL 98.3 FM. See you there. Now, let’s get to your questions.

Scorsese’s Sinatra, but Scorsese also is working on The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Currently in development: Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland, starring Anne Hathaway; Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? starring Eddie Murphy; and What a Wonderful World, with Forrest Whitaker directing and starring as Louis Armstrong.

Unfortunately Sean Penn just dropped out of playing Larry in The Three Stooges, but Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey are set to play Moe and Curly. And we also may see Don Cheadle as Miles Davis, Wesley Snipes as James Brown, and Nicole Kidman as Dusty Springfield.

A & E: MOVIES

Dark Days at Hogwarts Harry Potter’s crew face evil and new love connections

By Lori Hoffman

A

S THE H ARRY P O T TER S ER I ES builds to the final chapter, one can’t help but admire the consistency of the series. While some chapters have been better than others (my favorites are The Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire), the stories have been solid throughout. In addition, the wise decision to keep the cast intact has provided another layer of consistency that has perhaps never been matched in the history of cinema for a series this long.

This preamble brings us to the latest chapter, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Like the previous movie, Harry Harry Potter and HHHH the Half-Blood Prince Directed by David Yates; rated PG

Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this chapter is designed to hold the storyline in place while we wait for the ultimate good vs. evil confrontation that comes with the two-part finale.

Instead of a direct confrontation with the evil represented by the dark lord Voldemort in this episode, his presence lurks in the shadows of history.

Headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) gives Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) a secret assignment. He must become friends with Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), newly reinstated as a teacher at Hogwarts. Many years earlier Slughorn befriended Tom Riddle (Hero Fiennes-Tiffin), the young wizard who becomes spellbound by the dark side and eventually grows up to be the dark lord. Slughorn knows a crucial piece

of the riddle, and Harry must convince him to reveal his knowledge. Also lurking about are Voldemort’s minions Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) and Narcissa Malfoy (Helen McCrory), who are assisting in the dark side education of longtime Potter nemesis Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton).

There is also the mystery of the HalfBlood Prince. The title comes from an old book of potions that Harry finds. In the margin is the notation, “The property of the Half-Blood Prince.”

While darkness surrounds the events at Hogwarts, it is not all gloom and doom.

These are still teenagers, after all, and raging hormones take Harry, Hermione

(Emma Watson), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright) into new romantic relationships.

Quidditch is also back on the menu, providing a moment for Ron to shine.

The performances are solid as always, with the excellent addition of Broadbent to the Potter party. Alan Rickman continues his edgy contribution as Professor Snape and Gambon’s Dumbledore takes center stage in this chapter, which ups the emotional connection considerably.

My only regret is that Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) is a minor supporting player in this chapter.

While not as spellbinding as some earlier incarnations of life at Hogwarts, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince provides crucial connective tissue to the big finish coming down the road. n To read more about movies and other topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman under her blog alias Moviejunkie, visit http://blog.acweekly.com/

Old Waterway Inn

Address: 1700 West Riverside Dr., Atlantic City Phone: 347-1793 Details: Liquor license. Open Wed.Mon. for dinner from 5pm.

Welcome to Venice (Park) Old Waterway Inn delights in one of the last secret little spots in A.C.

By Frank Gabriel PHOTO BY NICK VALINOTE

T

UCKED AWAY IN ONE OF Atlantic City’s most authentic and charming neighborhoods, The Old Waterway Inn is perched on a serene section of the Intracoastal Waterway known locally as Beach Thorofare.

Owned and operated for more than 20 years by Chef Michael Zaccaria and wife Dawn, the menu leans heavily, fittingly, on products of the sea.

Michael, who began his restaurant career at the earliest legal age (14) possesses a lengthy and diverse culinary background.

His list of previous postings includes prestigious casino operations like Harrah’s The Meadows, Ivana’s at Trump Plaza and Caesars’ Primavera.

Although South Philly Italian by heritage, Zaccaria’s personal influences run a broad gamut. He mentions drawing ideas for dishes from travel experiences to the Greek Isles, Hawaii and Caribbean. Ask him about an inspirational chef and he’ll ponder for a moment, then come up with old-school French master Jacques Pepin — “classically trained, but wasn’t snobby at all” — one of the earliest successful television entrepreneurs.

We like to think of superb soups as being one of the most consistent barometers of a well-run kitchen. On our last visit here we sampled a lobster bisque — one of two house broths always on the menu — that

The Zaccaria family

was alone well worth the trip. Its first cousin, eastern shore crab bisque, is the other standard offering. The Old Waterway also produces a third selection nightly.

When queried as to his most popular entrees, Zaccaria immediately mentions jumbo scallops Capri. The creamy crustaceans are first pan-seared, then plated with a sundried tomato/caper/roasted garlic accompaniment.

Another item he’s particularly enamored of is a 14-ounce boneless rib-eye steak.

The grilled beef is served with caramelized onions, bleu cheese and a red wine and

shallot-based reduction sauce.

From the more exotic side of his bill of fare, the chef offers a pecan-crusted mahi-mahi, finished with a ginger/tamari (Japanese soy) sauce.

This time of year, however, the Old Waterway’s namesake locale becomes a major focus. The wraparound outside deck area, with seating for 80 patrons, “is the main draw for us,” according to Zaccaria.

Customers are so desirous of the spectacular back-bay vistas that “they wait at the bar for a seat on the deck.”

Boaters are more than welcomed too, as

the Old Waterway offers them easy access and free dockage while dining.

The physical property itself is a functional as well as a visual delight. In the rear of the restaurant, Zaccaria tends a garden, which produces his own heirloom tomatoes and various herbs employed in the kitchen.

The chef demonstrates the depth of his culinary savvy when discussing his chosen profession. Characterizing the stacked-food trend of the ’90’s as “architectural cooking” he goes on to humorously describe some heavy-handed kitchen personnel — not his own, of course — as “grunts and cement mixers.”

Two things he does take deadly serious are clientele and food preparation. Cooks working his line are admonished to work with great care and “put out every item of food as if they’re eating it.”

His business, presently entering its third decade, is blessed with “very, very loyal customers” and they are treated “like personal house guests.” So much so that one of his employees, server Ann Marie Mallamaci, a 12-year veteran, personally bakes homemade cookies for customers.

With precious little land left undeveloped on Absecon Island, the Old Waterway provides a breezy, nostalgic, open-air environment. And a chance to experience Venice Park, one of Atlantic City’s few remaining secret little places. n

ANY OF US GREW UP believing you had to be raised in regions like the Blue Ridge Mountains to really appreciate country music. It’s a genre that seems to have had a niche following entrenched in the southern states before gradually gaining mainstream popularity and a more widespread appeal.

If you’ve sort of been on the fence about country music’s appeal, listen to a few of Hal Ketchum’s songs and you might become a bona fide fan. He is a sensational songwriter who sings from the heart, and has released nine records since the late 1980s including the critically acclaimed Father Time last year. On Monday night, July 27, Ketchum will appear with his four-piece band, the Staggering Prophets, at the Ocean City Music Pier as part of the Stockton Goes to the Beach concert series.

The group includes Ketchum on acoustic guitar and vocals, Nico Leophante on drums, Keith Carper on bass, and George Reary on slide and electric guitar.

Ketchum, 56, is originally from the upstate New York town of Greenwich.

He moved to Austin, Texas, in his early 20s and later to Nashville, Tennessee, where he currently resides. He has had numerous top-10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, among them “Small Town Saturday Night,” “Past the Point of Rescue,” “Stay Forever” and “Hearts Are Gonna Roll.” Ketchum recently spoke to AC Weekly by phone from his Nashville home.

You were born and raised in upstate New York but gained notoriety in country music.

How did that unfold?

My grandfather was a classical violinist and my dad’s a fiddle player — we all played. I grew up in a generation where we all made our own entertainment. I’m from that generation where music was such an important part of our lives. It was tangible. We gathered, we sang and we played.

‘I’m from that generation where music was such an important part of our lives.’

Some of your songs really come across as deeply rooted in personal experience, like “Miss My Mary,” “In Front of the Alamo,” “Daddy’s Oldsmobile” and “Dreams of Martina.” Is most of what you write based on people you’ve known or events that occurred in your life?

It’s all interpretation. It’s kind of like what you do — take the information, absorb it, and hopefully turn it into something good.

Threadbare Alibis, was in 1988.

That’s right — I kind of wanted to get back to that. I’m fortunate to have developed a strong following as a live performer, and wanted people to gain a better sense of who I am as a singer/songwriter through the album. My live shows are kind of like a family gathering — I sit and I play and I read where you’re latest album, Father people shout out for a song and I try to Time, is all your own original material play it. I’m just trying to keep up with my and no covers, just like your first album, own catalogue in that sense.

Speaking of family, I understand you started out as a drummer and used to perform with your brother in bands. Do you still have family members come to see you play?

When I play at the Iron Horse [Music Hall in Northampton, Mass., about 50 miles southeast of Greenwich], my brother [Frank] and sister [Jane] come to my shows.

I noticed online that you often play with an acoustic guitar that has a unique-looking body. What is it?

It was made by Rick Turner, a Santa Barbara [California] guitar maker. It’s a wonderful instrument. It’s as light as a broomstick and travels well. My good friend J.D. Challenger, a brilliant artist, just pained a medicine wheel in the middle of that guitar.

I know this will be your first appearance at the Music Pier, but have you performed in southern New Jersey before?

I have over the years, and I love it over there, I seriously do. People [from other areas] who have never been there have their own interpretations of what certain places are like, but if they just spent a little time there they’d understand it a little better. When I first moved to Texas I thought it would be all tumbleweeds and cactuses. But you find interesting things about every place you go once you get there. n see more online @

CURTAIN CALL

Sad Songs Say So Much W

By David J. Spatz

RITING AND PERFORMING A sad song is easy, and few know that better than singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. One of rock music’s original troubled troubadours, Browne basically made his name writing about the tragedies in his life, particularly after his first wife, actress and model Phyllis Major, committed suicide in 1976 and left Browne to raise their three-year-old son, Ethan.

Songs from that period of his life still find their way into Browne’s concert set list, especially tunes from his breakthrough albums Late For the Sky and The Pretender, which he was working on when Major swallowed an overdose of barbiturates.

Although mental-health experts might disagree, Browne doesn’t have a problem revisiting the dark days of his life on a nightly basis in front of thousands of people.

“I tell you why it doesn’t present a problem, because it’s somehow reassuring to go back and encounter some sorrow,” he explained in a 2008 interview with The Times of London. “I’ve thought about it many times. Once it’s a song, it’s like a room in which things happen. You can go in there and lift objects up and examine them. Just by virtue of the fact that you can leave again, it’s somehow comforting to sing a sad song.”

As a songwriter, the true challenge is writing something positive and uplifting,” he added.

“There’s a long-held belief that you’re going to write the best stuff only if you’re miserable, but that can’t be right,” he said. “To express your happiness or gratitude is more of a challenge, and to write a wildly happy song, or one that makes

‘I just don’t think peace and prosperity should only be for the wealthy.’

– Jackson Browne you happy, is a worthy goal. But you can’t pretend, so you have to deal with all this stuff as it comes up.”

Browne is still touring behind his 2008 album Time the Conqueror, his first studio release in six years. A professional musician and songwriter since his teens and an original member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Browne, 60, is now reaching deep into a second generation of fans with his music and words.

Known as much for his social and political activism and concern for the environment as he is for his music, Browne made headlines during the 2008 presidential campaign when he sued

Republican hopeful Sen. John McCain and his campaign for using Browne’s 1977 hit single “Running On Empty” as an attack on Barack Obama without Browne’s permission.

“They broke two very clear laws,” he said of the suit, which hasn’t been resolved. “That they can’t use your song without your permission, and that they can’t imply you endorse a candidate if you don’t.”

Browne was actually an Obama supporter, both publicly and financially to the tune of a $2,300 donation to the Democratic candidate’s campaign.

Browne, whose concert tour stops at Borgata for a single show Saturday (July 25) in the Event Center, continued to mix music with politics on his latest album with songs like “The Drums of War,” “Going Down to Cuba” and, most tellingly, “Where Were You,” a song critical of former President George Bush’s handling of the Hurricane Katrina crisis.

Browne’s record for social activism is even referenced in “A Piece of the Pie,” a song on composer Randy Newman’s 2008 album Harps and Angels. The tune contains the lyric, “While we’re going up, you’re going down/No one gives a shit but Jackson Browne.”

Browne loved the mention by Newman, who is one of his artistic influences and heroes. But he also noted that the line

really isn’t true. He feels plenty of people still care about the world and the environment and want to work for social change. To that end he’ll continue to raise his artistic voice in support of issues of global importance.

“I’m a card-carrying member of hedonists for peace,” he said. “I just don’t think peace and prosperity should only be for the wealthy.”

Although he’s been writing music for himself and other artists for more than 40 years, Browne doesn’t feel his well will ever run dry. Inspiration is never a problem; time is. As he gets older, he realizes “there’s less time left,” yet he’s in less of a hurry to increase his creative output.

“Maybe I’ll get desperate towards the end,” he said. “You want the things you sing about to be about life and other people’s lives, and if I shut myself away and tried to ramp up the output, it might limit the interest I take in things that are pretty universal.” n

Night in Venice

Ocean City celebrates its premiere summer festival Saturday (July 25) as Night in Venice returns. The festival actually opens Friday with the Merchants in Venice Seafood Festival from 6th to 9th streets, featuring great food and rides for the kids. But the big event is the annual boat parade Saturday starting from the Longport Bridge along the bay to Tennessee Ave. at 8pm. A tradition since 1954, more than 100 decorated boats will light up the bay before an estimated 100,000 onlookers. If you plan to drive into the city, we suggest you leave right now and find a parking spot. OK, just kidding, but parking is always at a premium during Night in Venice. Free parking is available at the Ocean City Airport at 26th St. and at Tennessee Ave., with shuttle-bus service to the parade route.

SPORTS: GOLF

Sand Barrens Golf Club Address: 1765 Route 9 North, Swainton Phone: 465-3555 On the Web: sandbarrensgolf.com

Details: Sand Barrens was designed by course architects Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, and constructed in 1997. It features 27 holes divided into three sets of nine, which allows players to vary their 18-hole combinations. All the holes wind through tall pines and hardwoods, and there are over 100 acres of natural sand and bunkers (hence the name). Its accolades include being rated among the Top-100 best modern courses in America by Golf Week, and the #2-rated course in New Jersey by Golf Digest.

“Sand Barrens is a very peaceful course since there are no homes nearby — just golf and nature,” says director of golf Shawn Ward. “Twenty-seven holes allow our players to virtually play two different courses each time they visit, which is the reason we get so many return players.

In fact we’ve had many guests play all 27 in one day.

Every hole has its own personality, and with five sets of tees [per hole], we can challenge all caliber of golfers.”

There is an 18,000-square-foot clubhouse featuring a large bar-and-grill. Sand Barrens enforces its dress code, and only shirts with collars or mock necks are permitted.

Jeans and/or T-shirts are not permitted. Anyone not in compliance will be asked to change at the clubhouse.

See Good Golf Guide at acweekly.com Sand Barrens’ golf carts are equipped with a ProLink GPS system that offers a video display of the terrain at each hole, yardage to the pin, par and handicap information.

Golfers who play Sand Barrens on the weekend can return Monday through Thursday for a special $65 replay rate after 10am. You can also purchase a 10-round prepaid card called a “Sand Pass” for $650 ($65 per round) that provides anytime weekday play including cart, greens fee and range balls, and can be used Sunday thru Thursday after 11am. Every Monday and Tuesday there is a special for all ladies and seniors ($65 after 10am).

Golf Pro Tip: This week’s golf tip comes from Shawn Ward, director of golf at Sand Barrens Golf Club, regarding sand-trap play. Ward is a 31-year professional and PGA member, a former champion golfer at Middle Township High School, and was director of golf at Quail West Golf & Country Club in Florida for 18 years.

His dad, Ronnie Ward, was the longtime golf pro at Wildwood Golf & Country Club.

“To be an efficient bunker player you must make good contact, as is the case with all golf shots. A great practice drill is to draw a line in the sand and do several practice swings with the only goal of striking the sand on the line. It is much easier to hit the line rather than the ball.

“After several practice swings, and after you’ve mas-

tered striking the line, place a ball two inches in front of the line. Remember that to hit a crisp bunker shot with good spin, you must hit two inches behind the ball and make a divot about the size of a dollar bill. I like to feel the sensation of ‘spanking the sand’ when making contact.

“Lastly, on your follow-through, hold the finish, or ‘pose.’ Make sure that your wedge face is facing the sky.

This will assure that the ball is hit up in the air.”

EDITOR’S CHOICE

Staring at Lucy the Elephant, Margate’s long-standing icon and landmark, it’s hard not to imagine the historic structure as a real honest-to-goodness elephant ready to take a stroll down the beach or up Washington Avenue. But then again, where exactly would a 65-foot elephant go in a sleepy little seaside community like Margate?

How about the library for starters, to pick up a load of children to ride in her famed howdah, then to Dino’s for some subs, out to Junior’s for some hot dogs and finally a trip to Sassy Shoes. At least that’s the way budding local author Steven P. Winkle sees the trip. A Margate native hoping to launch a career as a children’s book author, Winkle has transformed his daydream about the great pachyderm into Elephant, Elephant Come Alive, a new book that will be unveiled at a special launch party at Lucy herself Friday (July 24) at 5pm. “Steven is a Margate guy and he loves Lucy,” says Rich Helfant, director of Lucy. “He came to us with this idea — [Lucy is trademarked after all] — and we loved it. We worked on it all winter and I think he’s come up with a really awesome book for kids.” The illustrations for the book were drawn by another local, Christie Mealo, (from Ventnor, close enough) who is studying art at Boston College. The book sells for $14.95 and will be available at the event, which could also include an author’s reading. “If enough people want him too,” says Helfant. “We’re going to have champagne and subs and everything from the book. It’s a great story and we want to give it a nice start.” For more information, call 823-6473 or visit the Web site for the book at elephantalive.com.

‘Humor is a big theme in my music.

I don’t take myself too seriously unless I need to.’

Several labels dropped you before Capitol/EMI came along. Any revenge fantasies against those labels?

I definitely don’t need to say anything. Some of them folded or had to melt into other companies because of [financial] problems.

Well, I could have kept your company alive.

Obviously, success is the sweetest revenge. I really respect the new artists who are coming in and making a career of it. It’s kind of easy to be a flash in the pan. It’s really hard to [sustain] a career.

It’s great to get discovered via the Internet, but so much of that aspect of the music business involves fans looking for the next new thing. That has to be tougher for maintaining a career.

That is how our world is. Everybody wants it now. Fast. Yesterday. To me it feels like an over-sensitized ADD world, where it is hard to get people’s attention and keep their attention.

How do you describe your music?

One of the Boys was a coming-of-age record.

I wrote it from 17 to 23. It’s about boys and it’s about relationships and moving away from home for the first time. It’s very honest. I have girls come up to me all the time and say, “Oh my God, I can’t believe you actually put what I’m going through and dealing with into words.” It’s spontaneous. It’s got this kind of kitsch fun — [a] slapstick, sometimes dark sense of humor.

Humor is a big theme in my music. I don’t take myself too seriously unless I need to.

The world is so over-saturated with these artists that are so full of themselves.

T TOOK A FEW YEARS, BUT POP vocalist and songwriter Katy Perry, voted the “next big thing” by Blender mag in 2004, hit the big time last summer with her smash single “I Kissed A Girl” and has been on a roll ever since, racking up more hits from her One of the Boys CD including “Hot N Cold” and the latest single “Waking Up In Vegas.” She makes her Atlantic City debut next Thursday, July 30, at the Borgata Event Center.

The 24-year-old native of Santa Barbara, Calif. first expressed her musical gifts in her parents’ church (they are both pastors) and released a gospel album in 2001 under her real name Katy Hudson.

When she discovered the forbidden fruit of secular music, in particular Queen and Alanis Morissette, her expanded musical obsession took her into the realm of pop

Your lyrics are what make your music different and fun.

KITTY PURRY

PHOTO: COBRASNAKE

Katy Perry sometimes plays with a “sex kitten” image, but her true feline inspiration is her cat Kitty Purry. “She came [to me] from a past relationship with a guy. She was a stray and he didn’t want to take care of her. That relationship ended and I ended up adopting her. I hated cats so much before I met her.

She is the love of my life. My corporation is named after her. I’ve become this annoying cat lady. They don’t really need you; I relate to that. It’s a strong female perspective. I know what I need when I need it, and I’ll get it myself if you don’t get it for me. I have a big version of her that I blow up on stage every night. She talks to me. We have this banter.

We talk about boys. It’s really fun.”

ally throw myself into the audience. I am in the crowd. I jump off the stage.

You’ve had celebrity encounters. Which one made you say, “Wow, I can’t believe that person knows me and likes my music?”

Well, the Madonna thing was an interesting moment. First of all it was so weird to see Madonna talking about anybody else.

I was completely flattered and I couldn’t believe such a big, important person would know my first and last name. I’ve met so many people. Some of them being complete assholes and I’m like, “Wow. Great.

Thank you for ruining my childhood dreams of who you were.” Then there are some that completely blow my mind and are amazing. I make it a point to remember that I’m meeting people for the first time and even if I’ve had a bad day or I’m in a crappy mood — no sleep or 30 different cities in 35 days — this is that moment with them. Maybe I won’t ever meet them again and this is how they will remember me.

What are your plans for your next album?

I’m at a crossroads with my writing. This year has been really intense. I’m not trying to make a record this coming fall about being famous. Nobody would relate to that. But I’ve had some insane, weird experiences to sing about. I will continue to be honest, maybe too honest with my next record. I’m really excited about showing people this wasn’t just luck. n see more online @

THE ‘F’ WORD

Sale Away: Mix Business with Pleasure T

By Whitney Ullman

HIS PAST WEEKEND I EXPERIENCED A great new way for me to meet people — and right in the comfort of my own driveway. Think about this scenario: Where can you make money by selling unwanted items from your home, have customers come to you, and promote your main business all while sitting outside in great weather? You guessed it, at your own garage sale.

Now I know that sometimes we get embarrassed because we don’t want people seeing the old stuff we have, or maybe we get too anxious when thinking about putting a garage sale together. When thinking about holding a garage sale, I usually have thoughts like: This is going to be stressful. Or, I have to get up

I really don’t want to sell my mini shoe collection! way too early. Or, I really don’t want to sell my mini shoe collection! But every so often I do it anyway because I know that at the end of the day I’ll make some money and have extra storage space to boot.

Well, this past weekend a light bulb went off during my garage sale. After I found myself not only selling some higher-end items and my 25-cent chachkas, I started promoting my daily business (or in my case, businesses). I was schmoozing away, talking to people I haven’t met before, filling them in on great things to do locally, finding out what they do and explaining what I do. I got to know my neighbors a lot better as well as the locals in my community. People were telling me their life stories and explaining why they needed the

item they were purchasing — such as my purple shiny purse for their daughter — or why they needed to buy the old calculus books to read on the beach (calculus on the beach? Go figure).

Do you catch my drift? Soon I started thinking that everyone should have a garage sale — as long as they have items to sell. It’s not only a great opportunity to learn how to network with people, but you can do it right in the comfortable setting of your own garage or driveway. Think about it, people are coming to you so all you have to do is be able to start a conversation and listen to what they have to say. I made $300 and emptied at least half of the garage. Since I was able to make some money and meet new people and have such a positive experience, I recommend you start planning your own garage sale today.

he was truly disappointed. He didn’t hide his true feelings when I asked him if he liked it, but at least he was honest.

I said to myself, “Oh well, I guess he will have to accept me for my brains!” Anyway, since my makeover and we are talking 10 years ago, I have had some pretty good hair experiences, but not like that makeover. I was starting to feel discouraged until I found Art Is ... Salon in Brigantine.

I am so impressed with the knowledge, friendliness and high energy of the staff as well as the ambiance and feeling I get when I come in for my appointment.

They offer everything from regular hair cuts to up-do’s, hair extensions and even make-up services. They do unique events such as Happy Hour Hair and they donate hair clippings to a group called Matter of Trust.

‘A Bronx Tale’ starring Chazz Palminteri

Bronx Bomber

Where: Harrah’s Concert Venue When: Now to Aug. 9. Tues.-Thurs. 8pm; Fri.-Sun. 9pm How Much: $40-$65

Chazz Palminteri hits a home run with his engaging one-man show ‘A Bronx Tale’ at Harrah’s

By Lori Hoffman

C

HAZZ PALMINTERI WAS A struggling actor when he wrote a one-man play about his experiences growing up in the Bronx as a pal of the neighborhood mob boss.

That play, A Bronx Tale, eventually became an acclaimed movie and launched Palminteri’s career as a well-respected character actor.

In 2007 Palminteri decided to revive A Bronx Tale and it became an acclaimed Broadway hit. Now he has brought his engaging play to the Concert Venue at Harrah’s Resort. The show is wonderful (see sidebar) and so is the man who lived it, wrote it and performs it six days a week.

Palminteri recently sat down for a heart-to-heart chat on his stage stoop.

(See the video interview online at acweekly. com/video.)

Palminteri (center) with the original cast members of ‘A Bronx Tale’

Besides A Bronx Tale, what are your favorite movies that you’ve been in?

I was so fortunate. Right after A Bronx Tale I got Bullets Over Broadway and get nominated for an Academy Award and then I did The Usual Suspects. I had three great movies right out of the box.

If you had your choice, what performer or director are you dying to work with?

I really want to work with Marty Scorsese.

I haven’t had a chance to work with Marty. I know him. I’ve met him through Bob De Niro, but I’ve never had a chance to work with him yet. n

‘It was pretty incredible that Robert De Niro was making his directorial debut playing my father, about my life.’

J U LY 2 3 , 2 0 0 9 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

Why did you bring back A Bronx Tale after all these years?

For the past almost 19 years people have been saying, “I loved that movie, but I saw the play. Oh, the play was great.” So I thought about it. There’s a whole new generation that never got a chance to see it. I’m going to bring it back. I brought it to Broadway and it was a bigger hit then when we first did it.

You were shopping the play around as a movie, but you were determined to write the screenplay and star in it, despite being an unknown actor. Then one night Robert De Niro comes to see your play.

You want to talk about timing. I was offered $250,000 to walk away. They didn’t want me in it. They wanted to put a star in it. I said no, then they went to $500,000, then they went to $1 million and I still said no. I remember walking out of the studio when I turned down a

million dollars. I said, Well, I hope I’m doing the right thing. About three days later, Robert De Niro walks into the theater [and] sees the show. He comes into my dressing room. We talk. He says, “I know you want to play Sonny. You would be great as Sonny. You should write this screenplay because it is about your life and I’ll play Lorenzo and I’ll direct it. If you shake my hand, that’s the way it will be.” It was pretty incredible that Robert De Niro was making his directorial debut playing my father, about my life.

What’s the most fun about doing this show?

I think the best part about doing it here at Harrah’s is that people here might not ever go to a Broadway show. It’s a whole different audience. They love it.

They stand up just like the Broadway

audiences. It’s more like an event [than a show]. It’s me playing 18 characters, telling the story.

I understand you began your showbiz career as a singer.

I did. I was in a band called Razzamachazz.

I used to work the Concord Hotel many years ago up in the Catskills. We traveled all over the world. It was fun, but my heart was always into acting and writing. When I got that opportunity, I just took it.

You have several movies coming out, including one in which you sing, Once More With Feeling.

It should be coming out this year. I’m doing this movie called Safe, which I’m producing and I play the lead role of a [safecracker] named Eddie. After I’m done

The passion is there in every nuance of Italian sign language, every vocal inflection, every engaging story. Chazz Palminteri lights up as he remembers his younger days as Calogero “C” Palminteri in A Bronx Tale. We feel his horror and fascination, when, as a nine-year-old, he watches a man murdered. By not squealing on mob boss Sonny, Calogero becomes part of the mobster’s inner circle. From there Palminteri creates a magical world of colorful characters with names like Frankie Coffeecake and Jo-Jo the Whale. We see his concerned father, Lorenzo, hoping his son is not dragged into this world. We see a young man who feels the pull of two fathers, one rich and powerful, the other an honest working stiff, both with their own take on loyalty and a code of honor. There are big laughs, and other moments when you can smell the blood in the air, like when “C” describes the night some badass bikers pick the wrong bar in the Bronx. Palminteri draws you in and never lets go.

Harrah’s is providing a golden opportunity to see a true Broadway production without the traffic and the parking hassle of a trip up the Parkway. Don’t let “C” slip out of town before you experience the brilliance of Chazz Palminteri’s autobiographical musings.

Still Illmatic

Nas blessed the House of Blues with creativity last Thursday

By Raymond Tyler

I

N THE WORLD OF MUSIC TODAY you have hit makers, singers, performers, rappers, MCs and a host of other people who perform live on stage as well as make records. There are so many people in music today for so many reasons it can be hard to remember that there are also artists.

That’s where Nasir Jones comes in.

More commonly referred to as Nas, the Queens, N.Y., native has been creating his art professionally since the 1992 debut of his first single “Halftime.” When I went to see Nas and Damian Marley last Thursday night, July 16, at the House of Blues, I had forgotten all the little things that make Nas a special talent. Then I saw the show.

Nas’ show reminded me that he is an artist whose medium is words and music.

Watching Nas perform the tracks from his catalogue and, nodding my head and at times pumping my fist, I mentally took

myself through the years.

For about three minutes I was back in 1992, when I first heard the eerie, but catchy, piano that opens “Halftime.” Nas took me back to the very first time I heard him, when he told the world he was in the hip-hop game with lyrics that were “gang-

‘Made You Look’ is a song from the streets, for the streets. ster,” but had that swagger that few MCs had at that time. He called himself “Nasty Nas” back then, and presented himself as a street MC with a soul that spoke “poetry” as fluently as Pablo Neruda. Today Nas still outshines 50 Cent and all the other “little Nases” that came after.

Almost yelling every word along with Nas, I climbed over the fence to get inside his lyrics for “Made You Look.” Each time I hear that song, I go back to a time when hip-hop was so much fun. From the opening chant of “Brave Heart” to the last words Nas screams, with no music but the drums still playing in your head, “Made You Look” is a block party compressed into three minutes and 21 seconds. The song is literally bursting with life, juice, and words that hold as many as three or four meanings, depending on what day I listen. When I hear “Made You Look” I still feel in my heart it’s a song from the streets, for the streets.

I shook my head and smiled as the piano came on featuring the classical melody that plays throughout Nas’ single “I Can.” Listening to the song today I feel like Nas was setting up his listeners (kids and their parents) for a black president in the White House. Even if that was not his intention, “I Can” does empower the listener.

Song after song, Nas reminded me that each album he’s put out — from his debut to Untitled (controversially entitled the N Word originally) — have been artis-

tic offerings from Nasir Jones, the son of jazz musician Olu Dara. Creating art is a process in which the person creating tries to create something new, not reproduce what’s hot on the charts or even reproduce what made him or her successful the last time. Nas isn’t a MC concerned with making music to impress “street soldiers” or producing music to make record companies more money. The Nas and Damian Marley concert was more a celebration of art and music than just another show. Aside from the hits, the icing on the cake was the ending, which had Nas and Marley (the youngest son of the late Bob Marley) freestyle rapping/ singing to various hip-hop beats. n
