PINKYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER

A Golden Anniversary

By Pinky Kravitz

I

HAVE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF experiencing two major milestones in my lifetime.

First was the 50th anniversary of my broadcasting career in Pinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner, in 2007, and the second came last Saturday when my wife, Janet, and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary.

Wow! To me, and I imagine to Janet, this was an unbelievable feat. It seems like only yesterday that we had our wedding and started our lives together in a one-bedroom apartment on Tennessee Avenue in Atlantic City. During the ensuing 50 years we had three children: Jeff, Cherri and Greg. Four years ago we suffered the most tragic event any parent can have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the loss of a child.

Cherri was a teacher at the Richmond Avenue School.

Each year we honor her memory by raising funds for scholarships in her name to graduates of Atlantic City High School. From funds raised at the Cherri Kravitz Scholarship Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party last July, we will be giving four $5,000 scholarships to worthy students. The fund-raising event for this year will be held on July 25, at Maynardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Margate.

By now, most of you know I am a family-oriented individual. The most important people in the world to me are the members of my family. When the time came to think of how to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, it was decided that we would share it with our family. My wife and I decided that the wedding anniversary would be a weeklong celebration at my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Los Angeles, with my two sons, Jeff and Greg, their charming wives, Julianne and Jamie, and my four grandchildren Katrina, Zachary, Olivia and Rebekah.

I was surprised at Philadelphia International Airport when our niece, Jill Leeds, who lives in Northfield, walked up and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good morning!â&#x20AC;? I was shocked and thought of the wonderful gesture of her coming to see us off and was flabbergasted to learn that she, her husband Jim and their children, Jim and Julie, decided to join us for the anniversary celebration. We were further surprised when on Monday evening Brian Flanagan, our nephew now working in Las Vegas, and his wife Tina came to spend four days with us during the week. In all we had 16 family members for this momentous occasion.

Throughout the week we did the tourist things in Los Angeles. With Jeff as our guide, we went up and down the streets looking at celebrity homes, drove to the Malibu beach where we waded in the Pacific, strolled along Santa Monicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Promenade and had the best corned beef sandwich ever at Langerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous deli.

Sunday is the only day you can take children to the Magic Castle and only a magician member can book a reservation. Jeff imposed on one of his friends and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal and the magic that was produced by three excellent magicians. We spent the next day touring Hollywood and went to the world-famous Graumanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese Theater to see Clash of the Titans. By the way, in the middle of the movie the screen started to shake for a minute and we thought nothing about it until we came out of the theater and Join us on Facebook:

learned that Los Angeles had been shaken by the earthquake in Mexico.

After the film, we walked on the cement blocks in front of the Chinese Theater, and looked at those footprints, handprints and signatures of some of the movie industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous personalities.

The next day we visited Universal Studios and although it was crowded, the lines for their attractions move quickly. We spent Wednesday at Disneyland and it reminded me of the picture you often see in our newspapers and magazines showing the 300,000 people who, on Easter Sunday, walked on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in the 1930s. In all of my past visits to Disneyland, I have never seen so many people. We waited in line for two hours to go on the Indiana Jones ride of four minutes. People were 25 deep standing in line to buy a pretzel or a hot dog.

The marvelous display of fireworks were accompanied not only by music, but by a storyline involving every area of Disneyland. It was truly an amazing show.

Our week ended with a surprise party that my family put together, which included several of the former Atlantic City residents we know who now work in California. Among those in attendance was Mike Grozier, who opened the House of Blues and Foundation Room in the Showboat Casino Hotel. Mike is now an executive VP of Live Nation, responsible for entertainment in theaters and clubs around the country. Chris Polk, a former noted local photographer who is now one of Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful photographers was also there. The familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chefs joined together to provide an outstanding repast. Janet made her spinach pie; Jeff and Greg showed their talent by providing us with a scrumptious barbecue of fillet and pork loin and Julianne made her famous brownies. Not a scrap was left of any food item on the buffet table.

Julianne put together pictures of the family and a message from each member relating their experiences with a couple that was married 50 years ago and are responsible for the Kravitz clan being in existence.

It was quite a week and one we will never forget.

Every night when I go to bed, I thank the good Lord for allowing me to be here the number of days Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been privileged to be in this great world of ours. Hopefully, we will be around to enjoy more wonderful celebrations and be able to continue to do the things that I love and enjoy so much, such as writing this column, broadcasting daily on the radio and my television show. I would also like to express my appreciation to all of you who have helped me to continue to do what I do. n

Celebrity Sweepstakes

Casinos are regularly bringing in TV personalities and others in the public eye to interact with guests

Management reserves the right to change or cancel this event at any time without notice.

HE LINE “ACT LIKE WHEREVER you are, that’s the place to be,” is from the coming-of-age flick Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and it’s easy to achieve when celebrities are in your midst. Highprofile people sharing your space tends to make anywhere feel like it’s the place to be.

Atlantic City’s casinos are increasingly cashing in on the drawing power of celebrities, especially, it would appear, with the popularity of “reality” TV shows. More and more often stars are materializing at nightclubs on weekends or lending their faces to special casino functions.

“Guests love to come into a club and have something special to talk about afterward,” says Howard Weiss, director of The Pool and nightlife operations at Harrah’s Resort. “What we’re working on really closely is doing [headline] events at [Showboat’s] House of Blues, then throwing the after-party at The Pool. It is helping to take us to the global level from a marketing perspective. For example I took the ‘Pool After Dark’ concept to South Beach in Miami for the winter music conference, and several people outside of New Jersey were familiar with us.”

Borgata public relations manager Noel Stevenson says the popularity of bottle service and DJs who are celebrities in their own right often help draw entertainers/TV personalities toward scheduled or impromptu appearances at nightclubs.

“Our culture has always been fascinated by celebrity, but over the last few years reality TV and social media have really connected the average person and their favorite stars,” says Stevenson. “Today, via Twitter and Facebook, people know what their favorite celebrities are doing, where they are hanging out, what they’re thinking, eating for dinner, etc., and they are more accessible to them than ever. People want to party where the stars are so they feel a little bit like a rock star themselves, even if it’s just for the night.”

This Saturday (10pm), The Pool will host Kate, Lexie and Flo from the reality show Bad Girls Club, and reality-show star Kim Kardashian will appear May 29.

“Part of the reason we do [celebrity] events for a fee is to kind of get that buzz out there and get that domino effect, but on the flip side of that more and more [celebrities] are just showing after a performance or on their own because they’ve heard what an exciting nightlife experi-

ence it can be,” says Weiss.

“Most of today’s reality shows have a higher rating than many drama shows, and viewers are intrigued with their celebrities,” says Diane Spiers, executive director of media services for the Trop. “With that said, we want [Trop] guests to experience what a cast or celebrity experienced ...

Although I can’t say it necessarily extends a guest’s stay, it does drive a visit, creates excitement and makes a memorable experience for the customer.”

“The bottom line is that celebrities surely do bring people to a venue,” says Tony Penza of VIP in Atlantic City. “When the Casbah [at Taj Mahal] hosted the Jersey Shore cast the place was packed, and Dusk has surely emerged as a powerhouse with a very high frequency of celebrity guests.”

Last Saturday, April 10, Dusk hosted a celebrity-studded after party for the Caesars Tennis Classic, and has Rob Kardashian (of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, April 17), Justin Bobby (The Hills, April 24), and world-renowned models Jayde Nicole (April 27) and Noot Seear (May 1) scheduled to appear. In fact, there seems to be a celeb guest at Dusk nearly every weekend.

Resorts Atlantic City has had several special guests or Superstar Theater headline performers emerge unannounced at Boogie Nights, but the nightclub itself has never paid a celebrity to appear.

“Actually we have yet to hire a celebrity just for Boogie Nights,” says Brian Cahill, executive director of media relations at Resorts. “For celebrities performing at the theater or doing special events, we might say something like, ‘We’ve got a great nightclub here, would you like to check it out and I’ll be happy to bring you in?’

“We can’t advertise that someone’s going to be there because it’s not a paid appearance, but often [guests] will see pictures in the paper and they’ll show up anticipating [celebrity] arrivals, but we don’t sell it that way. When it happens, though, it’s a memory that stays with you forever.”

Such was the case with Boogie Nights’ promoter Dave Pena when Lynda Carter showed up at the club unannounced.

“When she walked in the door his jaw dropped, his face lit up, and he couldn’t believe that Wonder Woman was at the club,” says Cahill. “I made sure that, no matter what, she wasn’t leaving without a picture,” adds Pena.

TRUTH IN TRAVEL

H E N LOUIS CLARK T A K E S the stage of an Atlantic City casino showroom this weekend, the memory of his first visit to the Boardwalk won’t be too far from his mind.

Clark, the keyboardist and chief arranger for The Orchestra — a combination of players from the Electric Light Orchestra and ELO II — certainly won’t be feeling the pressure and terror that accompanied him during his Atlantic City debut nearly 30 years ago.

Clark made his American debut as an orchestra conductor before 100,000 people packed onto the beach on July 4, 1982.

Prior to his Independence Day gig, his only other time conducting in public was a program of Queen music with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London’s fabled Royal Albert Hall six months earlier.

Although he’d been conducting bands in recording studios for years and was a roadtested rock musician in the 1960s, Clark was a novice when it came to waving the baton in public.

“When they led me from my hotel room out to the stage, I told my wife I felt like I was being led to the gallows,” he says with a laugh. “It was very scary for me.”

In retrospect, Clark should have relished the opportunity instead of being frightened by it. Although he wasn’t exactly a household name, his music certainly was.

Clark, who had already made a name for himself as one of the arrangers for ELO, was back in the Top 10 in ’82 as the arranger and conductor of the Hooked On Classics series of albums. On Hooked On Classics, Clark took segments from well-known classical pieces like, Rossini’s “William Tell Overture,” George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” and gave them a modern beat — sometimes disco — that linked the segments together.

The Hooked On Classics albums — four in all — captured the ears of the American listening public and hit the Top 10 on the Billboard charts, which is why one Atlantic City casino invited Clark and the 60-piece American Symphony Orchestra to America’s birthday celebration.

Clark, who performs with The Orchestra at Resorts Atlantic City on Saturday (April 17), doesn’t know why he was so nervous when he took the stage that first time in Atlantic City. Between the Hooked On Classics albums and his collaborations with ELO, his past work already spoke for itself.

Clark, 63, was a self-taught musician who

as a child was enchanted by classical music.

But in the early 1960s, the young British guitarist heard a band called The Beatles, and it lured him into a career in music.

“The moment I heard the Beatles, I fell in love with their music and made up my mind that’s what I wanted to do,” he recalls during a phone call from his home in Ohio.

“I wanted to play in a band.”

So he joined the Raymond Froggatt Band, a rock group in Birmingham, England and began experimenting with infusing traditional rock with classical elements.

During the mid-1960s, his band even did some concert dates with orchestras, several years before popular bands like the Moody Blues and Deep Purple did the same thing. “As far as I know, we were the first [rock band] to work with an orchestra. But we sounded bloody horrible,” Clark recalls with a laugh.

At 24, Clark realized he needed to add to his self-taught music skills, so he enrolled in Leeds College of Music in England and earned his degree three years later. He became a session player working in various studios and also spent several years working in house bands in small cabarets.

At the same time, Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood were getting ELO off the ground and seemed to have similar musical sensibilities as Clark. Lynne heard Clark playing in a studio one day, was impressed with Clark’s use of classical elements and the way he weaved a small choir in his music, and asked him if he’d like to contribute to ELO. Clark eventually hooked up with ELO on their fourth album, Eldorado, left the group to do Hooked On Classics and has returned periodically over the years to be part of ELO II and, eventually, the Orchestra, which can’t legally use the ELO name.

The Orchestra continues to tour England and eastern Europe periodically, and Clark says he’s hoping to build momentum from a series of one-off American concerts dates this spring so the group can mount a minitour of the United States this summer. n

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A CLASSIC CASE OF LOCAL BOY makes good as Weiwan Liang of Galloway Township hit a major payout at the Borgata Spring Open Tuesday.

Liang won $127,060 in the openâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first event, a $560 entry Deep Stack No Limit Holdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;em tournament that attracted more than 1,200 players. The prize pool for the event was $607,000.

Liangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory came pretty fast when he was left heads-up with player Joe Grico of Westchester Pa., and he was certainly lucky that nobody raised pre-flop on the final hand. Liang was holding a relatively weak two and three of spades to Gricoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s queen of hearts, three of diamonds. The flop came out all spades at queen, eight, seven. Liang bet strong with his flush, but Grico, with top pair, called his $1 million. The turn was a five of hearts. Liang bet $4 million and Grico went all in. The king of spades river card just sweetened Liangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flush and gave him the tournament.

Liang has three previous cashes, according to pokerpages.com, including a 72nd place finish at the Borgata Open in September and a 608th place finish at the 2008 World Series of Poker.

Pros in attendance for the first event included Farzad Rouhani, Mike Sica and Robert Varkonyi, winner of the 2002 WSOP Main Event. Varkonyi, you may recall, won the main event as an amateur the year before Chris Moneymaker won, but missed out on Moneymakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fame because the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lipstickâ&#x20AC;? cam, which changed poker television broadcasts, hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been introduced yet. The cam allowed viewers to see playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hole cards, and the poker explosion was on.

Tuesday also was the start of the most expensive event at the Open, the $7,200 +$300, guaranteed $500,000 prize pool East Coast Championship. The high price tag clearly took a toll and the event attracted only 62 players, though a fair amount of pros were involved. Still, the buy-ins did not cover the guarantee. First place will cash for $170,000. Going into Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, the chip leader was a pretty well-known poker star, Gavin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birdgutsâ&#x20AC;? Smith, with $128,625. Smith was the World Poker Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player of the year in 2006 and has more than $5 million in cashes.

Fit in and Stand Out

HE PATH TO SUCCESS ISN’T always easy. We can define success in so many ways, but recently I heard the following definition at an E-women Network Women’s Success Imperative meeting from the group’s founder and CEO, Sandra Yancey.

“There is a very fine line with success,” she said. “You have to find a place where you can fit in and stand out.” It’s so true, isn’t it? We all need to figure out how to fit in when we are promoting our respective fields and then learn how to make ourselves stand out. Business owners, in what ways are you unique? What advantage do you have over your competitors?

Ask yourself these questions and re-evaluate your strategies.

At many of the business-group meetings I attend, we are asked to go around the room and introduce ourselves. Many people talk about how their business gives great customer service and that they add a personal touch to every transaction. That is all fine and good, but who doesn’t want to give great customer service? I know you’re thinking, there are many places where the employees are horrible, or you can’t get through to the right person, or there is lack of communication, etc. However, for the most part, every business owner will say that they are excellent with their own customer service. Try to think of something more specific to say such as, “After every closing I bring my customers a [special gift] and I get them a subscription to [such and such magazine].” Or maybe you could say, “I handle everything from start to finish, my customers have all the say and I execute it for them.” Something along those lines. We are all in different professions, so there are many examples, but think of creative ways you can make you and your business stand out.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world, as the saying goes, and there will always be people trying to squash you and trying to hinder your ability to stand out, but don’t let that happen.

You can’t be naive. Be aware of what is going on around you and work around it.

You still have to have an edge because if you don’t then, unfortunately, someone else will. You do not have to be conniving, sneaky or ruthless. You can succeed by being honest, true to yourself, and

reliable. But you still have to be proactive and get yourself out there. When I worked in the mortgage industry, I was a top producer many months in a row and all by doing things the right way by my customers. Granted, there were people in other branches who probably weren’t so honest and yes they got to the top, too, but I had the repeat business and I had the referrals. I had customers for life and you can too.

Whether you work in the corporate world or have your own business, people are just people and your success depends on your ability to network yourself efficiently and to make a name for yourself. This won’t happen overnight and it will take a lot of trial and error, but it can be done.

Know who you are and know what you offer and then find a way to make yourself stand out. Think about all of the people you recently utilized for a business deal. What made them stand out?

Why did you use one real estate agent over another? Why did you pick one printer over another? You get my drift?

Everybody’s definition of success is different, but in the scheme of things we all need to fit in and stand out.

Speaking of standing out, I have to give a shout out to 120, a fabulous local singing group. The group performed last Wednesday on BET’s 106 & Park, which is the channel’s highest-rated music series of all time. 120 was kind enough to invite me backstage and it was an incredible experience. They were fabulous out there on live national TV — real pros! I wish them the best of luck in all of their endeavors. You can check out more at myspace.com/120world. n

rom the time Carol Speirs, owner of Animations Salon in Ventnor, was a 13-year-old in Montgomery County, Pa., she knew she wanted to be a hairdresser. After moving to the Jersey Shore in 1983 and working in various salons, Carol decided, in 1996, to open Animations. The salon’s motto is: “Where we bring beauty to life.”

Wanting to create a friendly atmosphere, Carol brought along talented professionals, some of them friends, to work at Animations.

All of her stylists attend continuing education classes in order to satisfy the salon’s traditional and trend-seeking customers.

This year, Animations added an esthetician who previously worked in a highly regarded, nationally-known day spa. Animations now offers facials, make-up, waxing, ear candling & sunless tanning, in addition to the salon’s regular services of cuts and styling, coloring, perms, hair relaxing, manicures, pedicures and nail extensions.

Exceptional services provided in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere — what more can one ask for?

agnificent Mediterranean cuisine, majestic décor and top-notch service are just a few of the ways Sofia in Margate has created its own dining niche in southern New Jersey. Sofia Papastamelos and Angela Diamantis, both experienced restaurateurs, opened the restaurant in 2006.

Sofia’s spacious, yet cozy interior provides the ideal setting for dinner or your special event. The outside verandas, flagstone terrace, fireplaces, deck and cozy dining niches put Sofia’s a notch above the rest.

Sofia and Angela invite you to celebrate life with a cuisine that is good for your heart, body and soul. Sofia is also a hot spot for Happy Hour (4-7pm), 1/2 priced appetizers at the bar from 4-6pm with entertainment Wednesday through Saturday and Social Scene Wednesdays with DJ music from 10pm to close. Join us for our Wine Tastings the first Tuesday of every month.

Ten flat screen plasma TVs provide a panoramic view for all your favorite sporting events.

An experienced and professional staff will create the perfect menu or theme party. For your special events, Sofia’s unsurpassed ambience and supreme cuisine will create a perfect memory.

ince my childhood I have always had a great love for the earth and its bountiful richness. I grew up in West Viginia and my gardening business started when I was five years old. I made one penny for every weed I uprooted from the ground in my Grandmother’s yard. As a teenager I had a grass cutting business for several of my neighbors. I would cut, trim, rake and sweep their yards on a weekly basis. I have always enjoyed playing in the dirt and have always been a community volunteer. I have enhanced the beauty of my community by planting flowers in common areas and pulling as many weeds as I could along the way. I have scattered flower seeds across the United States of America. It is my goal to increase the beauty of my community one weed at a time.

ventura’s greenhouse

I

n November 1984, Louis Ventura decided to purchase a little green pub with a deck that neighbored the famous Lucy the Elephant in Margate.

Since then, Ventura’s Greenhouse has transformed into a two-story restaurant encompassing three kitchen areas, two huge decks right off the beach, a café, and a Zagat-rated fine dining room.

From lunch to snacks to gourmet entrees, Ventura’s Greenhouse offers something for everyone. The café features daily specials and a menu full of local favorites like the roast pork sandwich and the mouthwatering mussels. The upstairs fine dining room is said to be the best kept secret in Margate. With gourmet foods ranging from specialty salads to pasta, seafood and steak, once you go upstairs you will want to go back.

As a family owned and operated restaurant, Ventura’s Greenhouse makes their customers feel at home. Customer service is very important to the owner and manager and after one meal at the restaurant you will feel like part of the family with the friendly and accommodating staff.

Ventura’s Greenhouse is a Jersey Shore landmark for locals and visitors alike. Come join the fun and enjoy all of the specials that keep customers coming back year after year.

tongue without a moment’s hesitation.

The DeFuscos later went on to establish other businesses, including several pizzerias in the Philly suburbs.

But the local saga began in 1973. A friend had bought the original seashore nightclub called The Gables, at the spot now housing Margate’s Tomatoe’s restaurant.

Another neighbor, operating a successful breakfast and lunch restaurant next door, wanted out for family and medical reasons.

These were the halcyon days of Margate’s Barbary Coast party empire. With a legal drinking age of only 18, Margate’s bars were packed each and every night, many offering some of the best bands on the East Coast as entertainment.

N A TOWN FILLED WITH pie-makers, Ocean City-based Lou DeFusco’s All Natural (Award Winning) Pizza stands alone as the product of a tradition stretching back more than a century to the Old World.

Born near Caserta, in the southern Italian region called Campania, DeFusco has worked the industry, in one capacity or another, since prior to his fifth birthday. Mom Antoinetta taught him the basics of the craft, allowing her youngest son access to dough from the time he was old enough to walk.

His late father, Domenico, brought the family to America when Lou was only seven years old. Initially settling outside Pittsburgh in Williamsburg, Pa., the family didn’t last there too long.

“My father said he couldn’t get a good slice of Italian bread,” he says, which led to them moving to the Philadelphia suburb of Conshohocken. Where, it just so happened, a pair of traditional Italian bakeries existed within close proximity.

Domenico, originally a wheat miller, and later a shoemaker by trade, instilled a classic set of immigrant values upon his son.

“My father’s business motto was, ‘There is no substitute for quality,’” says DeFusco.

“He also thought that ‘free’ was the most powerful word in the English language.”

The family’s first food venture was in 1968 — April 20 to be exact — in Conshohocken. That sort of specificity is a hallmark of the proprietor’s delightfully quirky persona. Dates, names and places from decades ago smoothly roll off his

The still youthful DeFusco catered to those late-night pub crawlers, enduring their drunken antics for the possibility of selling them two slices of pizza and coke for a dollar.

Yes, two slices and a coke for a buck.

Oddly, it wasn’t pizza for which their triangular-shaped building was first known, but sandwiches. Running out of rolls one night became a turning point in the business’ evolution, as it forced customers to opt instead for pizza.

DeFusco also vividly recalls meeting aspiring Whoot! publisher Lew Steiner — himself a Stockton State college student at the time — and taking out adverts in the initial editions of what would eventually become this newspaper.

During peak times, the little shop would come to turn out truly epic quantities of pizza, up to 30 pies or more an hour, most vended as slices.

With Domenico having taken ill in 1990, the DeFuscos sold that flagship location.

After running a tavern in Cumberland County and founding Tuckahoe’s first pizzeria, Lou returned to the barrier islands, opening on the Ocean City Boardwalk in 2000.

Four years later, he moved to present digs, on the fringes of the town’s Asbury Avenue business district.

When asked about what makes his products special, DeFusco eagerly engages in a spirited dialogue. “It’s the same dough my family has been making since the 1860s.”

Continuing, he adds, “I use less yeast in a year than most pizza shops use in a month.” For DeFusco, the name phrase “all natural” isn’t a tricky piece of marketing puffery, it’s a way of doing things.

No sugar, shortening or oil has ever found its way into his pizza and never will.

Ditto for any preservatives. By his own admission, like organic produce, the shelf life of his pies might not be that of his competitors. But we’re not talking museum artifacts here, pizza is made to be eaten piping hot straight from the oven.

Accolades DeFusco has received over the years are too numerous to mention in this limited space. Most recently, famously critical New York chef Tom Colicchio — of Bravo’s Top Chef — selected his sauce as the best at the 2009 Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival. n see more online @

T’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT’S almost been 20 years since G. Love & Special Sauce formed.

“I’m with you on that,” G. Love, aka Garrett Dutton, says. “Time flies.”

G. Love & Special Sauce came together in Philadelphia in 1992. Within two years, the act cracked MTV with the catchy, funky and spirited song “Cold Beverage.”

The act was off and running, but unlike some of its peers, the band decided to stay on the East Coast. The group continues to call Philly home, which isn’t far from Dutton’s favorite hang, the Jersey shore, where he often spends time in Avalon.

“I could have moved to New York or Los Angeles and lived with the rock star B.S., but I love Philadelphia,” Dutton tells Atlantic City Weekly. “I enjoy the Jersey shore. That’s where I grew up and that’s what I like. It’s gritty. It’s real on the East Coast. It keeps my feet on the ground. It’s a soulful place. There’s something in the Philly water that makes the music extra funky. That’s why I’m here.”

G. Love and Special Sauce, which will perform Friday (April 16) at the Borgata (as well as the following night at the same venue opening for the Fray), is out behind its exceptional live album, Long Way Down, which dropped in September.

It makes perfect sense for the act to put out a live document, since much like another notable Philly based act, The

assion and unpredictably are some of the reasons to catch G. Love & Special Sauce under th Roots, the Dutton-led band is a monster when it hits the stage. Energy, passion and unpredictably are some of the reasons to catch G. Love & Special Sauce under the lights.

“It’s always a blast when we get up on stage,” Dutton says. “We have more fun up there than anywhere.”

But G. Love & Special Sauce isn’t just a live entity. The group has been very impressive in the studio as well.

The group’s latest studio release, 2008’s Superhero Brother, is the act’s best album since 1995’s Coast to Coast Motel.

Dutton and company went back to the basics with Superhero Brother. Beforehand, Dutton had been working solo and doing a lot of collaborations with other artists. But he said goodbye to guests making appearances, which marked his last three albums, for the latest studio record.

Dutton says he is pleased to be delivering playful bluesy rock once again with Special Sauce.

“After doing all of these collaborations, I finally realized that I can’t keep doing this crap,” says Dutton. “It was fun working with all of these different artists, but I

need to do the band thing. That’s what’s most important to me.”

His band thing now includes newcomer and longtime Dutton pal, keyboardist Mark Boyce, who is part of Special Sauce, along with bassist Timo Shanko and drummer Jeffrey Clemens.

“I get a spark just playing with these guys,” says Dutton. “I’ll admit that we were kind of stagnating as a trio. Outside people were needed to get the creativity going, but I needed to get back with these guys. It was [the right] time after working with some incredible players.”

The Philadelphia native and resident toiled with such luminaries as Ben Harper, Marc Broussard and ex-girlfriend Tristan Prettyman.

“I think all the people I worked with were great, but it was time to get back to where I’m from,” says Dutton. “It’s like Philly, I had to get back to my roots.

That’s the way I work best. It’s just how I do things. I think I got a spark going another way for awhile, but sometimes it’s just time to go home.”

Dutton and Special Sauce deliver catchy blues (“Superhero Brother”), stur-

dy rock (“Communication”), some irresistible funk (“City Livin’”) and some tender ballads on the latest record.

“I think [Superhero Brother] is all pretty well rounded,” Dutton says. “We’ve touched a number of bases with that album. I needed to be eclectic.”

The collection of tunes is arguably the deepest set of tracks Dutton has crafted.

“I’m just growing as a writer,” he says. “There’s room for fun songs like ‘Cold Beverage,’ but with [Superhero Brother] I think I turned a page as a writer.

When I wrote ‘Peace, Love and Happiness,’ I realized that this works on some different levels. It’s an upbeat song, but it’s more than a party tune. I don’t think I could have written a song like that when I was writing ‘Cold Beverage.’”

Expect Dutton and his crew to alter their tracks live at the Borgata, a venue they have played several times over the past few years.

“It’s fun to mix it up when you’re onstage,” Dutton says. “I love playing live. The studio is fine, but it’s a controlled environment. You could have the perfect arrangement, the perfect guitar solo, but that all goes out the window when you play live. Things happen when you get up there onstage. There is all of that energy. It’s an exciting thing, particularly when you’re out with bandmates you’ve known forever.”

Dutton likens his relationship with Special Sauce to that of a significant other.

“Being in a band is like having an extra girlfriend,” Dutton says. “You have to work at it to make it work. I’m just so glad we got this thing back together because it’s an important relationship to me. It’s something that my music and I [both] need.”

G. Love will also host the party at Borgata’s MIXX Saturday, April 17, at 10pm. n S

ERENCE WINTER IS BEST known as one of the writers of the hit HBO show The Sopranos.

This September he comes back to New Jersey as the creator of Boardwalk Empire, a new HBO series based on Atlantic City in the era of prohibition and starring Steve Buscemi. The series is adapted from the book Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City by Nelson Johnson. Martin Scorsese is executive producer. We caught up with Winter at the Atlantic City Hotel and Lodging Association spring gala April 9. (The following are excerpts from the interview; see full interview at acweekly.com) Through the ’20s to the ’50s, however, you had that gangster element and I did start You’ve come from The Sopranos and moved to think, ‘You know this is a little like the to Boardwalk Empire. Obviously there’s a big show I’ve been writing for 10 years.’ But difference between modern North Jersey and that’s really kind of a coincidence. To me 1920s Atlantic City, but really, what’s with all it was more about the ’20s and prohibithe New Jersey love? tion and the era that appealed to me. It What can I say, interesting shit happens in was a great era for fashion and music; just New Jersey. But really the New Jersey factor really exciting and fun. And it’s an era that is almost incidental. This is about Atlantic hasn’t been explored that much. There are City and a specific era in A.C. — the ’20s, a few things out there, such as The Roaring which was just a really cool time and ’20s with James Cagney and there’s been place to be. I’ve always been fascinated by things on Capone and Lucky Luciano, but Atlantic City and came down here a lot not that much. It really was a very wide when I was a kid. Nelson’s book covers open era that was driven by the young. the whole history of Atlantic City from It was after World War I and before the when it was marsh and seashore to pres- Depression. It was very hopeful and excitent day. While I was reviewing the book I ing. There was a feeling of opportunity and was thinking about all the different eras in prosperity and also a very youthful feeling Atlantic City, and they were all fascinating. in the country.

The real life Nucky Johnson has been changed to Nucky Thompson and other aspects have been fictionalized. Why not just portray the actual historical figures?

Because I feel that pins you down. I was a very big fan of the show Deadwood. It was a great show and I loved what David Milch (the show’s creator) did with it. And I realized that all these characters were based on actual historical figures, so that was interesting and I Googled them. And that wrecked it for me. Now, whenever Al Swearengen got into trouble on the show, I knew that he had survived into the early 20th century. There was no sense of jeopardy. With Nucky Johnson, people know how he ended up, but Nucky Thompson can do anything. I don’t know if Nucky Johnson ever killed anyone, but Nucky Thompson may be faced with that.

Why did you choose to film on a set in Brooklyn rather than here in Atlantic City?

Basically, Atlantic City just doesn’t look like it did in the ’20s. We came down and scouted a lot of locations and you could count on one hand the spots we found that still looked the same. You have that same problem trying to film in Manhattan. The look of the era just isn’t there anymore.

The Brooklyn site gave us a great opportunity to build a great Boardwalk set and to create the buildings that made Atlantic City great back then. Plus around the set, the buildings in that area are correct. They

look right architecturally and they give you the right feel. I think you’ll get a more realistic feel of the city at the time on this wonderful set than you would if we had actually filmed here. And of course, there may be some scenes in the future where we come down.

Speaking of authenticity, “The Pine Barrens,” which you wrote, is one of the greatest episodes of The Sopranos ever. But anyone from South Jersey sat there just thinking, ‘that is sooo not the Pine Barrens.”

I know, [laughing], and the big problem was that there wasn’t one damn pine tree in the whole episode. It really just was a budget thing. It just would have been too expensive.

You are working with some amazing people on this project such as Martin Scorsese and Steve Buscemi. What has that been like?

It really has been a dream come true for me. Martin Scorcese is the reason I became a writer. I hadn’t really thought about being a writer and then I saw the movie Taxi Driver. I had never seen any movie like that. The look of the movie and the feel and the way the characters and elements were integrated.

Everything about that movie stayed with me and inspired me. So to be told that I would be meeting him and discussing doing a project with him, well, I was just stunned. n see more online @

The day you pay your tax is when the Geator gives you the facts. But that’s cool, because every year comes this day when it’s time to pay. So let’s move on with happier times. Whether you realize it or not, the big show at the Kimmel is right around the corner, then Memories in Margate — and, of course, before that, the Malt Shop Memories cruise just weeks away. And now, time for you to ask the Boss with the Hot Sauce, the Geator. Here we go.

to the demos and rated them just like on Bandstand. I still remember every word of “I Ran All the Way Home” by the Impalas.

— Amy Maxin Heitzer

As president of MGM records, Arnold Maxin bought the master of “Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home)” by the Impalas and released it on the subsidiary Cub label of MGM, which is interesting because MGM was the lion, and this label was the cub.

Amy, your dad was one of the true innovators in the early days of this industry, and was respected and revered by everyone in the business. I go back with him What a rush it was hearing you refer to and guys like George Goldner, Morty my dad, Arnold Maxin, on your “one-hit Kraft, the Beanstalk brothers, Ahmet and wonders” show in February. I smiled at Nesuhi Ertegun, Jerry Wexler, et al., all the mention of his name and accomplish- of whom held your dad in high esteem, ments. Growing up in the ’60s, the daughter as I did. He truly was a record man, and of a record producer, was the best. I was I don’t forget the contributions that he the test case at home, the one who listened made to our industry and to the music.

After 50 years of playing this music — and buying the music before I was on radio — it’s almost impossible for me to accurately give you my top 10 because it can change from radio show to radio show. But off the top of my head here are some of my favorites: “Earth Angel,” I was hoping you could help me identify a “Since I Don’t Have You,” “Why Do ’60s/early ’70s Motown or Sound of Philly Fools Fall in Love,” “You Cheated, You song. It sounds like the singer for the Four Lied” — plus I love everything that Tops. The song has heavy string orchestrathe Paragons, the Jesters, the Spaniels, tion and a fast beat. In the background the Heartbeats, and the Harptones have the chorus sings, “Mandee, Mandee” or done. And I can assure you I’m omitting “Randi, Randi.” There’s also a part that many more. n goes, “Why don’t you let me love you?”

— George Scott

The chorus is actually singing the words “There Is” — and that’s the name of the song. It’s not by the Four Tops but by the Dells. You are right about the era — “There Is” was released in 1967. Not only did it reach No. 1 on the R&B charts, it was the first time the Dells broke the Top 20 on the pop charts.

What are your all-time Top 10 doo-wop songs? Are they still available on 45?

on the verge of breaking out himself.

Though he lost the decision to Williams, almost universally the boxing world thought Martinez in fact won. He comes to town on a high.

“The preparation has been excellent; I feel it’s been the best training camp of my career and it’ll show on April 17,” Martinez told fightnews.com. “With the preparation I’ve had I don’t think Pavlik will be able to keep up. I feel great.”

Pavlik says he has a lot of respect for Martinez, but notes that he too saw the Williams fight.

“I thought he won the fight too, to be honest with you,” Pavlik says. “I had him by a round or two and if he had finished strong it might have been a different decision. I was impressed, but at the same time I wasn’t impressed. He got hit — took a lot of punches. If Williams had a little more pop, that would have been a different fight.”

Many fight insiders feel that Martinez is a better mover than Pavlik, a weakness Hopkins exploited in defeating Pavlik.

“He does a lot of good and a lot of bad,” Pavlik says of his opponent. “The thing is that his good can also be his bad. What I mean is that he’s awkward and punches from a lot of different angles. That sometime helps him, but sometimes that can leave him wide open or get him caught coming in. Still he’s definitely someone you’ve got to respect and you just can’t go face first trying to hit him.”

He also feels that judging him on the Hopkins fight is a mistake. “Sure [Martinez’s

REMEMBERING GATTI

Pavlik back in training

old Pavlik will be back at Boardwalk Hall.

“I’ve probably never seen Kelly looking so good,” Loew says. “We’re really excited to get in there. We know what’s in front of us.

This is a very serious fight for us. And I think people are finally going to see the best Kelly Pavlik that they’ve seen in a long time.

For Pavlik, however, it’s a chance to put the infection behind him, which started as a small cut on the knuckles after the Rubio fight. While playing basketball, he noticed the cut was oozing pus.

Pavlik went on antibiotics and was even bedridden, he says.

“It wasn’t really a question of whether I would ever be able to fight again, because an infection will eventually heal,” he says.

“But it was a frustrating 2009 because there just wasn’t much we could do about it.”

But Pavlik says the infection is beaten now and so, he hopes, is the speculation of ducking good fighters.

“It was kind of frustrating, not so much what people were saying, because I could care less what people who didn’t know what was going on were saying. Overall, the whole thing was I wanted to fight Williams. But it is what it is — the staph infection; people saying I was lying; having to get doctors to prove I wasn’t lying — and we couldn’t make the fight happen. So the next best fight out there was Martinez, who a lot of people think beat Paul Williams. That’s the biggest name right now in the division and the biggest fight for me to take.”

In Martinez, he may be fighting a fighter

Kelly Pavlik vs. Sergio Martinez

Middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik will put a lot more on the line against Sergio Martinez than his championship belts ELLY “THE GHOST” PAVLIK knows he had a bad 2009. And the end of 2008 wasn’t so hot either.

So for his first fight in 2010, Saturday (April 17) at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City against Sergio Martinez, there’s more on the line than his middleweight championship belts. For Pavlik the fight is about redemption, respect and, most importantly, his future as a fighter.

“This is a dangerous fight for us,” Pavlik said in a conference call with the media last week. “And it’s proving to people and myself that I’m taking the dangerous fight.

I never shied away from the big fight. Not when I’m 100 percent healthy.”

It’s a statement that a fighter like Pavlik, who rocketed up the fighting ranks and to boxing stardom after knocking out Jermain Taylor, would never have had to say three years ago. But then things started to spin on Pavlik.

First came a loss to Bernard Hopkins in a 12-round decision in October 2008, which he fought at light heavyweight. Then came some not well-respected defenses against middleweights such as Marco Antonio Rubio and Miguel Angel Espino, even though they were the highest ranked contenders for his WBC/WBO titles.

That was followed by a serious staph infection to his hand that sidelined him for months. Cancelled fights against Paul Williams and Sergio Mora early this year left many wondering if he was exaggerating the extent of the infection and ducking serious challengers.

Pavlik saw boxing fans turn on him, and turn quickly.

But Pavlik and his camp say that will change when he steps into the ring against Martinez, who is reigning junior middleweight champ and coming off an impressive showing, albeit a loss, against Williams.

“I think this fight is going to be one of the most important middleweight championship fights in a long time,” says promoter Bob Arum. “I think people saw Martinez’s last fight with Paul Williams and I think a lot of people thought he won the fight.

In any event, he gave a hell of accounting of himself. Kelly has his hands full with Martinez, but it should be a tremendous, tremendous fight.”

Jack Loew, Pavlik’s trainer, also says the

On Friday (April 16), one day before Kelly Pavlik faces off with Sergio Martinez, Atlantic City will pause for a moment and remember another fighter, Arturo Gatti, on what would have been the day after his birthday. The city will proclaim Friday Arturo Gatti day.

A special ceremony will be held at 4pm in front of Boardwalk Hall.

Gatti, who died last July, became Atlantic City’s own and is credited by many as keeping Atlantic City alive in the big fight game.

Gatti fought in Atlantic City 23 times including his last nine years before retiring. Fans would pack his fights and chant his name.

He became Atlantic City’s favorite fighter and he embraced it, saying he never wanted to fight anywhere else.

It might seem hard to replace Gatti, but Kelly Pavlik may certainly be following him.

Though Pavlik has fought in Atlantic City only a few times, his biggest win (his title winning knockout of Jermain Taylor) and his biggest loss (to Bernard Hopkins) have come at Boardwalk Hall. A tough knockout fighter that brings big matches to the resort, Pavlik has begun to get a loyal following in Atlantic City.

Pavlik says he’s honored to follow Gatti as A.C.’s favorite fighter.

“First, it’s great to find a fan base this close to home,” Pavlik, of Youngstown Ohio says. “People thought Gatti was a great fighter — a blood and guts fighter. To me it’s an honor to be thought of as the guy who’s going to fill his spot. It’s a great thing to be put in that spot, but it is a lot for me to try and live up to.

“But it’s great being in Boardwalk Hall,” he says. “The fan support I get here, and of course winning the title here. It’s just a great atmosphere and a great fight city. I love it a lot.”

speed] is something we’ve worked on,” he says. “But not so much because of the Hopkins fight. That was just a bad fight.

And it wasn’t even really that Hopkins had speed. I was just so lethargic in that fight that he didn’t have to move.”

Pavlik admits he was a little worried about how his hand would hold up during training and Loew acknowledged that his fighter was carrying a little more weight than usual. But the weight is coming off on schedule and Pavlik says he feels the best he has entering a fight in a long time.

Arum says he expects his star to be reborn. “I am convinced we’re going to see the old Kelly Pavlik against Martinez,” says Arum. “And when the public sees that, he’ll be right back on top and people will be clamoring for his next fight.” n see more online @

Date Night

Blind ‘Date’

Comedy team of Carell, Fey needed a better script.

By Lori Hoffman

I

T HAS BECOME A RITUAL OF comedy films in the modern era to use either designed footage or outtakes to run with the closing credits.

The Hangover used the end credits hilariously as the audience finally saw what the bachelor party boys did that they couldn’t remember.

Date Night, the comedy teaming TV icons Steve Carell and Tina Fey, delivers some of the movie’s biggest laughs with outtakes as the credits role. In this case, those laughs only emphasize that, unfortunately, despite the game efforts of two brilliant comic actors, a bland genre comedy is limited when the script fails to give them enough to do.

There are isolated moments of hilarity in Date Night, in particular when the Fosters, the couple caught up in a mistaken identity pickle, are forced to work the pole in a strip club. Fey and Carell are untethered from the by-the-book script Date Night HHHH Directed by Shawn Levy; rated PG-13

HHHH The Runaways Directed by Floria Sigismondi; rated R

in that moment and soar with an improvisational zest that the rest of the movie can’t begin to match.

Here is the set-up that ultimately limits their comedic chops. Phil and Claire Foster, a staid married couple from New Jersey, are worried that their marriage is headed for trouble when they learn their friends (cameo roles for Kristen Wiig and Mark Ruffalo) are getting divorced.

They go into New York City for a meal at a trendy restaurant without a reservation; you can imagine the snobbery that ensues. Desperate to keep the date night afloat, Phil and Claire poach a reservation, pretending to be the no-show Tripplehorns. This move triggers a visit from a pair of gun-toting bad guys who want an incriminating flash drive from the Tripplehorns. The Fosters escape and now are caught up in a chase that is half The Out-of-Towners and half True Lies.

As the night continues, the Fosters get little help from the original flash drive thieves (the semi-amusing James Franco and Mila Kunis). A useful contact is Claire’s former real estate client and a retired secret agent, a relentlessly shirtless Mark Wahlberg. And before they wind up in the strip club, the Fosters have a

ridiculous and endless car chase in the streets of Manhattan.

It was particularly distressing to see Ray Liotta going through the motions as a hood who has the D.A. (William Fichtner) in his pocket. These two are the ones most concerned about the contents of the flash drive, although when it comes down to it, the MacGuffin (Alfred Hitchcock’s term for the item everyone is searching for in a thriller) is as silly as the rest of the movie.

Date Night has stretches of mostly unimaginative set-ups punctuated with an occasional influx of big laughs generated by Carell and Fey, followed by more dry spots — and we are not talking dry wit. Director Shawn Levy (Cheaper By The Dozen, both Night at the Museum films) loves the big-ticket car chases, but he has no feel for the smaller moments.

Carell and Fey worked well as a team, despite the limitation of the vehicle.

Hopefully they will hook up again, but with a better script and a better director.

Cherry Bomb

The bio-pic The Runaways, about the brief career of the ’70s all-girl band of the title, hits all the classic-rock bio notes: sex; drugs; an overbearing, manipulative manager (Michael Shannon); dissension within the group and the ultimate break-up due to everything noted above. Angelic Dakota Fanning is obviously hoping to graduate completely to adult roles as lead singer Cherie Currie, but she isn’t very convincing as either a sexed-up, David Bowie-obsessed teen or a drug addict. Kristen Stewart is more effective as Joan Jett, but a little too low-key. Shannon, however, is a delightfully over-the-top, sleazy force of nature as the music insider who knew his teenage jail-bait concept would get the band noticed. n To read more about movies and other topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman visit the ‘Atlantic City Central’ blog at http://blog.acweekly.com/
