HE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL celebrate its 234th birthday on Sunday, July 4. It is a time for celebration for all of its citizens and visitors.

We have the good fortune of living in a great nation that offers so much to so many. Without a doubt, it is the most diverse country in the world, and we have benefited from this diversity. Just think what Americans have discovered and invented to make this world a better place in which to live. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had our problems and unfortunately will continue to have problems. However, in most instances we seek to resolve our problems, and for those that continue to plague us, we will eventually find a solution.

Too many of us take for granted the way we live. Look around at the rest of the world and see how fortunate we are. I thank my dear departed parents every day for having the fortitude to escape a pogrom in Lithuania and coming to the United States where they gave birth to my brother Tevis and me.

The common ground for the celebration of this joyous occasion is in family picnics and fireworks displays. Over the past several years there have been various fireworks displays in Atlantic City and its surrounding communities. We have enjoyed all of them, but the ones fired from the beach with the background of the ocean were the most exciting.

Unfortunately, sparks from a firework once fell onto a child on the Boardwalk. This curtailed fireworks on the Atlantic City beach.

It was then decided to put them on barges that were pulled out into the ocean. This lasted a few years until a barge was set on fire by some errant fireworks. For the next several years there were fireworks displays, but nothing like we had seen in previous years. The Borgata decided to become the presenter of an exciting fireworks display from their roof. Just a couple years later, Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resort became a co-sponsor for this marvelous annual display.

This year, there will be two 25-minute mammoth fireworks displays. Don Marrandino, who earlier this year became the Eastern Division president of the Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s properties, questioned why there were no fireworks displays on the Boardwalk front. He was told of the previous experiences and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was then and this is now.â&#x20AC;?

Marrandino went to work and called several business people and casino operators throughout the community to raise the necessary funds to once again have a fireworks display from a barge in the ocean. It was decided to hold this display on Friday, July 2, at 9:30pm. The Borgata and Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will present their fireworks display on Sunday, July 4 at 9:30pm from Borgataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roof. Thus, Atlantic City will have two wonderful displays of fireworks to celebrate this nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anniversary. It will be a gala weekend. (See p.

74 for details) There will also be fireworks displays on July 4 in several other communities throughout South Jersey (See p. 74).

Wherever you are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be within a short distance of enjoying the way America celebrates its birthday. While you are doing it, take a moment, look up to the heavens and thank the good Lord for overseeing the development of this country that we revere so much.

Boardwalk Billboard Update

A few weeks ago we told you that the Boardwalk Committee was concerned about the blank billboards around the city. One, at Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and the Boardwalk, was particularly disturbing and its owners, Pinnacle Entertainment and Abe and Bob Shiff, agreed to permit the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA) to put two public-announcement vinyls on those signs. Upon investigation, it was determined that they were in disrepair and unfit for the men that would put up the signs.

To show their determination to improve unsightly billboards, the Schiff brothers made available the large billboard on Central Pier. They also stated they would pay for putting the signs up on that board. This was a magnanimous gesture on their part. If you look at that billboard today, you will see one vinyl promoting people having a good time in A.C. and one informing them of the fireworks displays coming up this weekend. The fireworks vinyl will be taken down next week and replaced with a new vinyl denoting forthcoming events in A.C. Hopefully there will be other billboard owners whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make their boards available when they are not rented for a long period of time. Our thanks and congratulations to Pinnacle, the Shiff Brothers and the ACCVA for getting involved in helping to improve the look of Atlantic City.

Notes of Interest

The former post office building on Pacific Avenue has been demolished and its remains are being removed. Here is an excellent suggestion made by a listener of my radio show.

He recommended the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA), the current owners of that site, make a cut-in for a jitney stop on the corner of Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Pacific Avenue. At one time, when Jim Kennedy was the executive director of the CRDA, it was determined there should be cut-ins along Pacific Avenue for the jitneys to allow for traffic to continue in the right lane while they pulled in for their patrons to disembark. There are currently two cut-ins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one at Caesars and one at the Tropicana. When the jitneys use them, traffic continues to move. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once again time to look at adding more cut-ins, as Pacific Avenue is going to remain two-way for the foreseeable future.

Our congratulations to the Atlantic City Solstice Committee for their parade on the Boardwalk this past Saturday. It was put together within a three-month period. Hopefully next year, with more time, they will put on another outstanding parade and continue each year to celebrate the beginning of the summer season. The participants had fun and are looking forward to doing it again next year. n

Stacey Q, a pop-music icon whose poster image adorned the walls of many a young man back in the 1980s, will appear at Resortsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retro nightclub Boogie Nights on Saturday, July 3, starting at 11pm. She will perform new songs as well as old favorites, including her chart-topper â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two of Heartsâ&#x20AC;? from the 1986 Better Than Heaven album. A meet-and-greet will follow the performance, which is part of the Stars, Stripes and Boogie Nights Independence Day party. All those with military ID enter free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn on MTV in 1986 without seeing that [â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Two of Heartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;] video, and every guy got turned on by it,â&#x20AC;? says Boogie Nights cocreator Dave Pena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was Madonna, Stevie Nicks and Stacey Q that were always popping up on the screen back then. This summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be all about bringing back the faces and sounds from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s that might not ordinarily come to mind, but will rekindle fond memories when you hear them again. We put together a wish list of the icons we grew up with and, at least for me, Stacey Q was one of those people I remember hearing at every dance club, every pool party, on every pop radio station and in every music scene. A lot of her fans are also huge fans of Lady Gaga [performing at Boardwalk Hall July 4], so the timing for this is perfect.â&#x20AC;?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little Fourth of July action without some baseball, or for that matter sports in general, thrown in? And for good measure, how about some Marvel and DC action for comic book lovers with a collection of vintage action figures as well? For holiday revelers in Wildwood, along with the beach, fireworks and Boardwalk, comes the free yearly Sports Card, Toys, Comic Books and Collectibles Show from Friday, July 2, to Sunday, July 4, at the Wildwoods Convention Center, 4501 Boardwalk. The show will feature collectibles, memorabilia and guest star appearances and autograph signings by former New York Mets and Yankees pitcher Dwight â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? Gooden and Philadelphia Eagles Macho Harris and A.Q. Shipley. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tickle your fancy, a Boardwalk Craft Show featuring all hand-made items will be held on the Wildwood Boardwalk from 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday at Rio Grande Avenue. Expo hours are 3pm-9pm on Friday, 10am-9pm on Saturday and 10am-5pm on Sunday. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run it down. There will be sports memorabilia, toys, vintage comic books, crafts and autograph signings all weekend along the boards in Wildwood. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find something you like, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably not trying. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

The latest album from the Vancouver indie band â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its fifth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is sublime power pop.

Featuring the vocals of Neko Case along with a supergroup of Canadian rockers, the band is a blast to listen to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in the vinyl format.

Dweezil Zappa played the music of his late father Frank Zappa at the House of Blues in Atlantic City Sunday, June 27.

Q: How was the show?

Anthony Wagner Northfield, N.J. A: Amazing show. I grew up on this thanks to my dad and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a big influence on my playing music.

Paul Wagner Northfield, N.J. A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen his father Frank Zappa play many times and Dweezil is just as good!

Dane DeFeo Northfield, N.J. A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Frank Zappa four or five times through the years. Whenever I see Dweezil play, it always feels like his father is present.

URING A RECENT VISIT TO NEW YORK CITY I took a step back and thought about something a single friend of mine told me about the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that although there are many people out and about, it is also one of the loneliest cities.

Who would think that the city that never sleeps would be such a lonely place? But I have to say, as an outsider looking in, I can see that being true. I bet this is pretty on point for most major cities including Philadelphia and even Atlantic City. When there are so many people and so many choices sometimes it can be hard to meet â&#x20AC;&#x153;The One.â&#x20AC;? Especially in N.Y.C., where you constantly see so many people walking the streets with a sharp focus on wherever they are off to.

No smiling, no inviting body language. Basically hard core, rapid movement to and from destinations.

Even on the A.C. Boardwalk and in the casinos, people are a little more laid back, but still they usually stay to themselves. The amount of people who are single or maybe new to the area and looking for a friend is astonishing. But you would never know. We should realize that people are just people. We tend to navigate towards the ones who are approachable and we are open to meeting people and helping someone out, but we are also afraid of rejection. Even with something as simple as stopping to ask the time or for directions, we get nervous. We wait until we see a person with a smile or someone who is giving us subliminal positive vibes.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comfort factor.

If you take time to stop and smell the roses, as they say, then you are likely to see that there is so much more to life. You can take notice of the people around you and your aura will shine. With a simple smile, you will be amazed at the attention that can get you.

Also, look someone in the eye, show them that they Join us on Facebook:

exist. With all the negativity that surrounds us in our everyday life, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to know someone else cares enough to smile.

In recent weeks, I talked to many single people from big cities and small towns, who are desperately looking for love, but just seem to be striking out on the dates they are going on. Some of these girls are already in their late 20s early 30s and they feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inevitable they will be lonely forever. They go to parties, singles mixers, various events, and still have no luck. I asked a few of them about what they are looking for, and depending on how long they have been in the dating game, the answers were varied. A person new to the game is usually very strict on the type of person they are looking for. Answers were very specific with regard to age and looks, both being at the top of the lists. Then there were the people who have been in the dating game for awhile; their answers were more open minded.

They just want someone who will love them, who wants to have a serious relationship and who is emotionally supportive. Both types agreed that they like someone who is ambitious, self sufficient, and good hearted.

Sometimes it is difficult to meet potential suitors because we are all different on many levels. However, you could be looking for qualities in someone that they are looking for in you. It is always good to be yourself, but a relationship is based on two people and sometimes you have to compromise your wants for things that you need. Think deeply about what really matters and what is important to your heart and mind. Give someone a second chance, learn about your personality and how to become more approachable. Remember to look someone in the eye and smile.

And most importantly be open minded and open hearted to meeting someone new. â&#x2013; see more online @

You can also join our mobile list by texting ACWDRINK to 47201. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something different,â&#x20AC;? Reilly adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not stuffy, you can come as you are, have a couple drinks at reasonable prices, enjoy a free buffet and often live music [Don Ellsworth performed solo at Sofia; at Hibiscus the five-piece band Cresson Avenue performed]. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun and you meet some really nice people.â&#x20AC;? n

INCE ITS FOUNDING 36 YEARS ago, Atlantic City Weekly has not only served as a sort of vanguard to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various dining and entertainment options, but also as a medium for interaction in helping businesses and individuals expand their social spheres and economic horizons.

In keeping with that mission, and in recognizing the success of a similar series launched by sister paper Philadelphia Weekly (hey, not all the great ideas come from here), the Atlantic City Weekly

The happy hours include $3 beer and wine specials, $5 Red Bull drinks and a lightfare buffet.

Happy Hour Club was launched last month at Sofia restaurant in Margate. A second event took place last Thursday, June 24, at Hibiscus Island Bar & Grill in Somers Point, and five more are currently scheduled with more anticipated to be announced as the summer progresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atlantic City Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently launched happy-hour series is an effective and fun way to both reinforce our brand in the market, while supporting the local business community in driving traffic to area

Atlantic City Weekly Happy Hour Club 5:30-7:30pm Thursdays venues on nights which otherwise might be slow,â&#x20AC;? says George Troyano, president and COO of Review Publishing, Atlantic City Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As AC Weekly continues to evolve as a prominent multi-media provider in this region, we will regularly launch new initiatives, often times non-traditional in approach, to better serve our readers and advertisers. Look for the happy-hour series to grow in popularity and frequency, with new twists in format being integrated from time to time.â&#x20AC;?

The Atlantic City Weekly Happy Hour Club series is scheduled from 5:30-7:30pm

on certain Thursdays, the next being July 8 at Trinity Irish Pub & Carvery in The Pier Shops at Caesars in Atlantic City.

They include $3 beer and wine specials, $5 Red Bull drinks and a complimentary light-fare buffet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a pretty good turnout considering we just started it, and it should continue to grow as word gets out,â&#x20AC;? says Lauren Reilly, Review Publishingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve since partnered with UpcomingEvents.com, [95.1 FM] WAYV radio, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re promoting it with airplane banners on the beaches on Thursdays and on the [AC Weekly]

CURTAIN CALL

Peer Laughter

By David J. Spatz

F

ORGET ALL THE COMEDY showcases where he won standing ovations and lengthy howls of laughter from a rowdy crowd.

Jim Norton knew he’d arrived in stand-up comedy the first time he looked out from the stage and saw one of his colleagues doubled over with laughter.

“Once comedians started ... laughing at my shows and laughing at my material and complimenting me, then I realized that, wow, I may actually be able to do something with this,” Norton says of a pivotal moment in his young career.

“That’s basically what it was, other comedians validating me.”

Comedians, it seems, make for the toughest crowds when other comics are on stage. That’s why peer acceptance is so important in the funny business.

“Comedians are the toughest ones to make laugh,” he adds during a phone call from Chicago, where he was taping a TBS special. “So when they like you, you know you’re funny. To me, the greatest feeling in the world was being able to make the hardest people in the world laugh.”

Norton, a New Jersey native who broke in the comedy business nearly 20 years ago, has two distinct public personas, both of them fueled by his dark, slightly perverted and brutally honest humor that’s often a cross between self-deprecating and self-loathing.

A journeyman comic who got his big break from comedian Jim Florentine, Norton, who headlines Friday and Saturday in the Music Box at Borgata, grew his audience beginning in 1999, when he started appearing frequently on the irreverent morning radio program The Opie and Anthony Show.

Norton’s comedic rants became so popular that he quickly became known as “the third mike” on the show and now appears regularly on the broadcast three days a week.

Norton never intended to become a radio personality. His success in that medium has been strictly a happy accident, but it’s also led to the comedian hosting his own comedy show on Sirius/ XM’s Raw Dog channel and landing a hard rock music show on the satellite Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

radio system’s Boneyard channel.

“I never aspired to have my own show because I loved being on Opie and Anthony, and I didn’t want to leave O and A,” Norton, 41, says. “That’s my main gig and I love it. But it’s been fun to branch out and do my own thing [on radio].”

Norton started out with Opie and Anthony when the show was still broadcast on WNEW radio in New York. But now that he’s spent the last several years in the free and wide-open spaces of satellite radio, Norton says he’d never consider working in terrestrial radio again. And not just because of the language restrictions, either.

“There’s some really great people in terrestrial [radio], but it’s just not fun any more,” says Norton. “It’s not a fun medium anymore, because they emasculate you on things that have nothing to do with the FCC, but are special interest group issues.

So I have very little respect for most [terrestrial] radio. Some of it’s still really good, but most of it sucks.”

Other than a fleeting thought about a career in law after seeing Al Pacino’s 1979 flick And Justice For All, Norton has never wanted to be anything but a comedian.

Norton’s humor wasn’t always as dark and sexually charged as it became over the years. Like most comics starting out, he was fairly conventional with his material and delivery.

“I mean, I tried the nice guy crap for a little while, but it was boring and not very satisfying,” he explains. “I think I’ve always enjoyed just being free on stage. One of the great things about stand-up is doing what you want to do. Like you’re being aggressive, or you’re being nasty or you’re being nice. It’s whatever you want to be.”

Norton is looking forward to his Borgata shows this weekend (July 2 & 3) because he’s back on home turf. “That’s my kind of audience, it’s like a very South JerseyPhilly kind of aggressive audience that I’m very comfortable in front of,” he says. “They’re just great crowds. They get everything. I don’t have to dumb it down for them or make it nice, which are both things I won’t do if I can avoid it.” n

ALOHA SUMMER DINNER & A SHOW EVERY MONDAY

HE WORLD SERIES OF POKER may be a Las Vegas event, but it’s also a pretty good showcase for talent that first made its mark in Atlantic City and other East Coast gambling spots. In fact, Atlantic City’s casinos have arguably churned out some of the best poker players in the country.

Which, of course, brings us to Phil Ivey, largely thought of as the best poker pro in the game right now. Ivey grew up in southern New Jersey and is famous for obtaining a fake ID to learn his trade at Atlantic City casinos.

Ivey last week won his eighth WSOP bracelet when he took first in a $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. event. It’s Ivey’s third bracelet in two years and ties him for fifth on the all-time bracelet list with Eric Seidel.

He’s still behind Phil Hellmuth (11), Doyle Brunson (10), Johnny Chan (10), and Johnny Moss (nine), though he seems likely to catch all of them in the next few years the way he’s playing.

In fact, Ivey feels he can get 30 before he’s done, saying, “It’s within reach as long as people keep betting me on these bracelet bets. I’m sure I can reach it one day if I keep playing and stay healthy. I think I can reach it.”

Ivey’s win also generated headlines due to a reported prop bet he has with pro Howard Lederer. Though details are sketchy, Lederer has supposedly bet Ivey he can’t win two bracelets in this year’s and next year’s WSOP combined. Ivey is now half way home.

The bet is also for $5 million. Compare that to the $329,840 Ivey won for the H.O.R.S.E. event, and you can see what Ivey’s incentive is. Of course, nothing is automatic as Ivey learned when he was one of the first players knocked out of the WSOP Tournament of Champions over the weekend.

Another poker pro making a splash at the WSOP is Gavin Smith, who also cut his poker teeth in A.C. Smith, sometimes affectionately called “Birdguts,” is an East Coast pro who started his career playing major events in Atlantic City and at Foxwoods. In fact, he had an eighth-place finish at The East Coast Championship at the Borgata Spring Open in April (about a $19,500 cash).

With more than $5 million in career earnings, he had been considered the facebook.com/ACWeekly

best pro to have never won a WSOP bracelet. That changed Saturday (June 26) when he won a $2,500 Mixed Hold’em championship to earn $268,238 and his first bracelet. That ended a string of near misses at the WSOP, many of which were self-inflicted.

“I’ve been in this game a long, long, long, long time,” Smith said after the win. “Basically, a while ago, I used to go on tilt. Now, I try to think of the goal. Anything worth having is worth also going through a few adversities.

You are always going to have peaks and valleys. Some people do not always do well dealing with the valleys and the people that don’t — don’t win. I tried to learn from that.”

Finally, one of the area’s newest pros, Dwyte Pilgrim, has made a name for himself in WSOP circuit events, many of which are played at Caesars and other Harrah’s properties in Atlantic City.

Pilgrim has 20 circuit cashes and about $425,000 in winnings at circuit events; his total tournament winnings is at $689,000.

Originally from Brooklyn, Pilgrim moved to Atlantic City a couple of years ago to sharpen his game at the Taj Mahal’s cash tables.

“Basically, I saw that a lot of money could be made,” Pilgrim told Cardplayer. com about his time at the Taj. “That was when I saw that it was a game I could play for the next 50 years, and if I got good at it I could make a lot of money. I was also drawn to the competitive aspect of it.”

His first tournament was the 2008 Borgata Winter Open followed by cashes at six WSOP circuit events in A.C. He then started following circuit events on the road, to obvious success.

This is his first WSOP. “I think you will see the full package,” he says. “I have worked the past two years to get my game to where it is right now.

I’m doing what I do without the support behind me that a lot of players have and I’m competing with them.”

So the next time you sit down at an Atlantic City poker table, take a look around.

You may be playing with a future star.

Geator, do you know if Kay Starr is still alive?

— M.S. I’m happy to say that Kay, who as you know had two tremendous hits in the ’50s with “Wheel of Fortune” and “Rock and Roll Waltz,” will be celebrating her 88th birthday on July 21. She lives in California and still makes occasional appearances. And did you know that she was born on a reservation in Oklahoma and her father was a fullblooded Iroquois Indian?

I’m a 61-year-old grandma and need a refresher course on the Wagner Walk. I’ve tried everywhere to find it. Is it somewhere online?

— Carmen Because of the many requests we get about the dance steps, we’ve put a separate page about it on our site. No, the dance steps are not there, but over the years we’ve compiled a number of suggestions for all the people who’ve written in with similar questions.

Now let’s ask the Geator.

CBS airs It’s Your Call with Lynn Doyle.

It’s all about the Geator’s 50 years on radio and TV. All these specials are posted on our calendar at geator.net.

Back at the Jersey shore, last weekend saw the return of the ever popular Chuckie Wiener, minus Virginia Hill but with one of my all-time favorite guys, Ron Donatucci, Philly’s registrar of wills, along with his lovely wife, Steffi. Also in attendance, my pal Harvey Spears, who looks like he’s 24 and danced like he was 19. Harvey is the man to see if you’re looking for a parking job. And my pal Butchie Buchanico of the Eagles took to the dance floor along with the ever popular Donna the prima donna.

Time for your questions – but first here’s a trivia question for you. Last week we mentioned that “Close to You” originally was recorded in 1963, way before

Answer to trivia question: Richard Chamberlain, TV’s Dr. Kildare, did the original recording of “(They Long to Be) Close to You” in 1963. Dusty Springfield also had an early recording of “Close to You” in 1964, but the song did not become a hit, as you know, until the Carpenters’ version in 1970. n

THE CITY BEAT

Sex, HBO, Charity And the New Disco

By Raymond Tyler

A

N AUTHOR WHO GOES SOLELY by the name of Zane is a pioneer of contemporary fiction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; period.

She just happens to be black and female.

Writer and creator of The Sex Chronicles, Zane has been opening doors for new young writers for more than 10 years.

Her impact has been felt across genres, color lines and genders. Currently sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoyed being the mind behind two hot seasons of the soft-core adult series hit The Sex Chronicles on Cinemax. Where the HBO series from a while back, Tell Me You Love Me, never clearly stated just how hot or sexy it wanted to be, Zaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sex Chronicles has thrived on being as sexy and graphic as Cinemax allows.

What Zane has brought to the screen is a series that shows the world that black people can be successful and sensual.

Zaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sex Chronicles is not for the easily offended, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 18 and up and want some 18-and-up fun, you may enjoy the show.

Zane was on hand Saturday, June 26, at Borders in Mays Landing to discuss her books, her brand, and of course her hit series. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always great speaking with Zane and she is a good friend of my Breakfast Club radio show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and my listeners love when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on.

This weekend The Disco is set to open at Trump Marina. The Disco is being marketed as the best music and nightlife of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. I believe I can hear a steady stream of curse words coming from around the Boardwalk and North Carolina Avenue part of town. As someone who likes to spend â&#x20AC;&#x153;nightsâ&#x20AC;? doing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;boogie,â&#x20AC;? this is very interesting.

More Than TV

This September, Boardwalk Empire premieres on HBO. I have been a devoted HBO fan for more than 10 years.

However, after The Wire and Treme, I would have loved to see the producers of those HBO shows tackle Atlantic City as opposed to the producers of The Sopranos. However, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just my opinion, and I will still be watching! And constantly wondering why no cameo for me? (Maybe next season; I guess I better start my Facebook campaign!)

Twit Wit

DOCTOR’S ORDERS

Raising More Than Money BP oil disaster inspires July 2 benefit concert featuring Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone and live auction in Somers Point

By Jeff Schwachter

JMUOL Y e kWly N T1H, 2 001 , 02 0/ 1 A0 C /W Ae C E E. C K LOYM .COM

EST ORANGE, N.J. NATIVE and New Orleans harmonica and accordion player Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone will be back in his home state for two special and very timely appearances on the subsequent Fridays of July 2 and July 9.

Originally slated to appear at the 18th annual Concerts on the Beach series in Somers Point on July 9 with the Hawkins Road All-Star Band, Sansone, a staple on the New Orleans music scene and one of the Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars, is going to be appearing at Sandi Pointe (formerly Mac’s) in Somers Point on July 2 at 9:30pm, following the free beach concert featuring the Bob Campanell Band and Danny Eyer. (What a night of music in Somers Point!)

Originally the beach concert after party, dubbed “Tony Mart’s After the Beach Rock ‘n Roll R&B Dance Party,” was going to be your typically fantastic Somers Point rock ‘n’ roll event presented

by Tony Mart’s. But now, months after the BP oil disaster, the party has a purpose and a tinge of sadness to it.

“There is an obvious and poignant urgency to the message of environmental protection that Johnny Sansone brings to his two Somers Point appearances ... during his upcoming ‘mini tour’ of the Northeast,” says Carmen Marotta, one of the organizers of both events.

“This message is clear: Those of us enjoying our beautiful early summer here at the Jersey Shore need to be more aware of the staggering devastation and awesome impact caused to the people of the

Gulf coast. Once again, as it was after Katrina, the word from our friends down there is tragic. In personal conversations, they say it is ‘much worse than you’re hearing there’ [and that] ‘the people are suffering terrible losses.’”

On July 2, along with performing songs from his critically acclaimed blues-rock albums, and accompanied by local guitar wizard Eyer, Sansone will be answering questions about the state of the Gulf region following the April “environmental catastrophe,” as New Orleans music legend Dr. John puts it (see more at right), and providing information about the aftermath of the BP oil catastrophe and contact information to help those suffering in the aftermath.

Additionally, Sansone will explain the efforts by his fellow Voice of the Wetlands musicians to help “Save the Wetlands,” a project that Sansone, along with other New Orleans musicians such as Tab Benoit, Dr. John and George Porter, has been working on prior to even the devastation of Katrina.

Atlantic City resident and long-time Dr. John friend Sandy Warren is in charge of the auction part of the July 2 event at Sandi Pointe.

“We have some great stuff to be auctioned off,” says Warren, who has been in contact with Dr. John about donating auction items even though he is on tour in the United Kingdom.

“People are going to be very surprised and interested in what we will be auctioning off.”

Warren says that Dr. John’s involve-

ment in the July 2 event, aside from assisting with securing auction items, will be very apparent that night.

“He [may be] in London, but his heart and soul will be with us Friday night,” says Warren, who adds that money isn’t the only thing organizers of the event want to raise.

“We’re going to raise awareness as much as money,” says Warren. “The national media hasn’t told us how much the people are suffering. I’ve had conversations with Mac [Dr. John] where we don’t talk about anything personal, but just how people are suffering down there and the bull that BP is putting out.

“Then you get off the phone and cry for a while,” adds Warren, “but then you get up off your ass and do something about it. It’s great that Sansone will be there to tell people first hand the depth of the suffering down there. [And] to bring the message up here. Again, it’s not just money, it’s the whole thing.”

Additionally, Sansone will be available to sign CDs, answer questions and provide information about the aftermath of the BP oil disaster during the intermission break of his scheduled free July 9 performance on the Somers Point beach.

Atlantic County locals Carmen Marotta (as well as his wife Nancy) and Sandy Warren are putting a lot of effort into organizing the July 2 event at Sandi Pointe to raise funds and awareness regarding the aftermath of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf region of the United States. Both Marotta and Warren faxed over a copy of the recently issued “The Doctor’s Orders From Dr. John, Re: Gulf Catastrophe,” to the Atlantic City Weekly office. It reads in full: Doctor’s Orders From Dr. John Re: Gulf Catastrophe Greetings on the freakin’ [65th] day of the worst economic and environmental catastrophe in the history of our planet. I’m talkin’ at you from Great Britain, yeah, that’s right, home of BP. Ya all know what that stands for — BIGGEST POLLUTER. Here’s what you can do to help in the recovery effort: • Don’t call this an oil spill. A spill is something you do on the carpet and wipe it up.

This horrific damage to our people and planet can never be wiped clean.

• Stay informed: Read, listen, observe, question … You can’t educate others if you’re not informed.

• Speak the truth about this preventable tragedy to everybody you talk to everywhere you go everyday. Don’t assume people know how serious and long-lasting this calamity is and how it affects all of us and generations yet to come.

• Keep the pressure on our government.

Write, e-mail, phone, and visit lawmakers at every level. Don’t let up.

• Be an example and set the bar high for your own conduct. Practice what you preach.

Treat Mother Earth, her creatures, and her people with kindness and respect.

• Donate your own time and money. Inform others where to donate so their money will go to where it’s needed [and] not into the pocket of some executive. If you didn’t make it to the Gulf Aid Concert in New Orleans, you still can donate.

There, you got it — DOCTOR’S ORDERS, from me, Dr. John, in peace and love.

Truly Epic Cuisine

Open since Memorial Day weekend, the Tropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FIN is a seafood loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradse.

By Frank Gabriel PHOTOS BY DON B. KRAVITZ

F

IN, ACCORDING TO WEBSTERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary, is deFINed as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;an external membranous process of an aquatic animal [as in fish] used in propelling or guiding the body.â&#x20AC;?

In Atlantic City however, FIN now more accurately refers to a beguiling new seafood facility at the Tropicana.

Open quietly since Memorial Day weekend, FIN has ironed out any first-month jitters rather rapidly. Our recent meal, on a Wednesday night, was unquestionably the best experience weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in a new restaurant anywhere in well over a year.

The first sign that this place is hot came in the form of other diners, patiently waiting, hoping to obtain a coveted table at the casino floor-level restaurant.

Peering at the chic, circular sushi bar, between that crowded entrance and main dining space, one instantly notices what a cool place this must be to hang out, graze and enjoy a refreshing beverage.

Once seated, we observed how the transition from the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous occupant, Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, has been accomplished.

The dĂŠcor, erring brilliantly on the side of caution, is reFINed and understated.

Soft tones of pale ocean blue reinforce the oceanic theme, menu and atmosphere.

Did we mention the view? Virtually every table at FIN gazes out directly onto a stunning beachfront/Atlantic Ocean vista.

In harmony with those surroundings, food began with two items on their extensive sushi and raw bar bill of fare.

My half-dozen oysters were a sampler plate from among four different types the

FINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor dining and sushi chefs, Pang and Kelvin, holding a FIN almond tempura roll. restaurant stocked. We were particularly fond of a Pacific varietal, Fanny Bay, from British Columbia.

All bivalves were cleanly shucked, icy cold, faultlessly fresh.

Horseradish, traditional cocktail sauce, plus a kicky, memorable green tomato-based take on cocktail, rode in a separate sidecar.

A King Crab California roll was executed precisely and presented artfully.

Sliced into six ideal, mouth sized cuts, the pristine crab blended beautifully with avocado.

We consider Margateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perennial favorite Tomatoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to offer the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preeminent sushi. Judging from this admittedly-small sampling, they now have a new challenger for that title.

As apps, we opted for FINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on a traditional New England favorite plus a wildly creative original.

The lobster and blue crab roll â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Maine specialty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was loaded with succulent chunks of pale white claw meat from two precious crustaceans. Stuffed into what could be best described as an upscale hot dog bun, the blend was mostly lobster, seasoned well and presented with flair on an oversized plate.

Plum tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers and avocado added a pleasant textural note to the soft, yielding seafood.

The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unique creation, grilled stuffed shrimp, brought a pair of gargantuan, probably U-7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (under seven a pound) enrobed in puff pastry shells.

The real fun began with cutting through those buttery casks. Within, coiled about the shrimp was chorizo and Manchego cheese. Together, these elements coalesced into a sweet, soft textural delight that was both tasty on the palate and appealing to the eye.

RESTAURANT SPORTS BAR

EntrĂŠes began with a local delicacy, seared Cape May scallops. Five magnificent day boat mollusks were positioned at corners and center of the plate. Beneath each was a base of creamy white cheddar grits. Finishing the plate, a functional garnish of applewood smoked bacon, avocado salsa and black truffle butter combined to showcase and highlight the delicate, innate flavor of scallop.

My selection, grilled Block Island swordfish brought a thick, square fillet perched atop a construct of Mediterranean vegs: sautĂŠed spinach, grilled Portobello mushroom and halved artichokes.

The protein was delivered with skillful grill marks, yet remained juicy and full of hearty steak fish essence. A Grecian inspired yogurt cucumber sauce offered a cool, herbal compliment to the potent swordfish.

Which makes sense, as it reflects the heritage of FIN executive chef Demetrious Haronis. A Jersey shore native and longtime Trop employee, Haronis is also a graduate of Mays Landingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy of Culinary Arts.

To say that Haronis is making the most of his initial opportunity at running a high-profile operation would be a ridiculous understatement.

Desserts were great closers for a memorable meal. Both we tried, a chocolate pyramid featuring mascarpone and a banana chocolate torte, demonstrated that at every station in its kitchen FIN creates truly epic cuisine. n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

Where: Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City When: Friday, July 2, 9pm & Sat. July 3, 8pm How Much: $99.50 and $55.50

After his wildly successful, but often gut-wrenchingly personal Isolated Incident Tour, the comedian comes back to Atlantic City a happier man.

By Michael Pritchard

D

J U LY 1 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

ANE COOK IS STEPPING BACK from the dark side.

Cook spent nearly 14 months on the road with his Isolated Incident Global Thermal Comedy Tour, which hit Atlantic City on Labor Day 2009, and often laid himself bare for audiences. He talked openly about losing his parents and other personal tragedies.

But when he rolls into The Trump Taj Mahal July 2 and 3, he won’t be making that journey again. Audiences can expect a new, happier Cook.

“Especially compared to where I was a year ago, which I feel was some of my darkest stuff coming out,” Cook tells Atlantic City Weekly in a phone interview from his L.A. home. “When the tour ended, I felt I was really ready to let go.

I had talked about so many of these dark intricate moments — talking about cancer, or losing my folks or things in my personal life that had taken a foul turn.

It was almost like, ‘All right, therapy is over.’ And I knew that what came next would be lot lighter.

“So I think that’s what people are going to see and I’m hoping that the maturity is now meeting the lightness.

You know just having light in my life,” he says. “And not being afraid to get back to being a bit sillier and with the observational stuff, just lighter. So it’s great to just be going out there and saying, ‘You know what? I’m balanced in my life and I’m happy and I’m in better shape than ever.’”

So when you’re about to come out with a new show that’s drastically different than your last mega-successful tour, where do you go to test it out? Cook isn’t currently touring and has booked only a couple of gigs this year.

But it turns out that Atlantic City is exactly the place Cook wants to be.

“For a few months after the tour, it was really about getting rest after 14 months and about 80 arenas,” he says. “So when I started putting this new hour together, a few months back, it was really my wanting to reach back out and go to a couple of the spots which I felt were absolutely embracing some of the new direction that I was taking with my comedy. It’s very important to feel like your fans want

to grow with you. I mean sometimes they don’t want you to change and sometimes they want to jump in a new way.

“But I felt like there were a few spots on my tour that I was just really free to go in and play,” says Cook. “And in A.C., everybody close to home could go, [Cook is originally from New England], but it wasn’t like a hometown show. I was getting people from all walks of life, which is similar to my early New York shows where it’s just like a nice blending of all different people. Atlantic City is a great

‘Atlantic City is a great central place and an exciting place.

It was just a great room and it was the first one I wanted to go back to.’ central place and an exciting place. It was just a great room and it was the first one I wanted to go back to.”

So a comedian who has brought back the arena comedy tour, playing some of the largest in the country, has found intimacy in the smaller rooms of Atlantic City. And the reward for fans is a chance to see Cook and his new act at its rawest.

“It’s really exciting when what is essentially just a bucket of jokes or stories and bits starts to have a point of view,” he says. “It’s like surfing, you know, you catch that wave and ride it all the way through. And in the last month I’ve really felt that this new hour is starting to reveal itself in a new exciting way.”

But however light Cook may take his comedy, there will always be a strong sense of getting to the real Cook underneath. Even Cook’s earliest comedic influences — Jackie Gleason, Johnny Carson, Steve Martin — touched him with their openness.

“I remember watching The Honeymooners with my pop and there was something about Jackie Gleason ... even as a young kid I was like, ‘OK, this guy’s funny and silly and he makes me laugh.’ But there

was also vulnerability and even darkness.

I was always attracted to people like that, even [with] Steve Martin I think early on I sensed there was a lot of Steve Martin that was rebelling against everything that he had built. Or even like a Johnny Carson, as I learned as I got older, that Johnny would tank things on purpose, just to get to the ‘What the hell just happened to me?’ moment.

“I always liked the realness that came with the performance, when they would step away from the act and almost be com-

menting on themselves or the moment.

And I started doing that quite a bit in my own comedy, because I appreciated it so much. And I thought it made them more approachable and real ... so let the style be in something else and let the comedy be just as raw and ragtag as possible with a lot of me in it.”

That approachability, and also Cook’s constant attention to marketing himself, has turned him into the kind of success that many of his old-school heroes experienced.

Cook is seen as a master of using the Internet, Web pages and comedy recordings to brand himself and make himself a comedy superstar.

“I’m all about passion and I also love promotion,” he says. “I’ve always loved the business and the promotional side of, well, anything I’ve been involved in, but especially my early comedy years. I loved making the posters, You know, I designed all my early posters. I loved finding a new font or creating a new font on my computer. So I just started putting a lot more emphasis on branding and I think people latched onto that. I capitalized at a time when not a lot of people were confident in that outlet. I was the first one to cannonball into the pool as far as comedians ... and now it’s really the template. You sort of have to do it.”

Still, there can be some unintended consequences, such as when his fans can recite word for word his routines from his comedy albums, a medium that he has reinvigorated with hits such as Retaliation and Harmful if Swallowed.

“What was funny at first was I was never a person that did my routine verbatim,” he says. “I was not that guy. I’d have certain bullet points where I knew there would be laughs, but the way I would get in and out of routines was so unique to that night. I would throw in a little improv. So what was funny when people started reciting it back to me, when I went on tour I had to listen to my own albums and learn the lines and the certain cadences that people liked.”

But that won’t happen this time through Atlantic City. Fans who turn out this holiday will see a part of Cook they’ve never seen before. ■

HERE’S A TIME AND PLACE to relax with family and friends around a charcoal grill and a cooler full of cold drinks, but it’s not at nighttime during one of the summer’s most action-packed weekends. That’s when it’s time to get out and enjoy the merriment among the masses. And there’s lots going on, party-wise, this Independence Day weekend.

Starting with the three Trump properties, the Casbah nightclub at the Taj Mahal will kick off its epic weekend celebration Friday, July 2, with a party hosted by DJ NYSE. On July 3, “StarSpangled Saturday” will feature a live performance by singer/songwriter Chris Willis, a major player on the club circuit who blends an R&B/gospel sound with the house/dance/electroica genres.

On Sunday, July 4, DJ Danny Tenaglia will host the “Be Yourself Party” at the Casbah along with resident DJ Yan and special guest Michael Myers on the main state. Outside at the StarBar — the city’s only outdoor, oceanfront nightlife venue that offers bottle service — special guests Tom Colontonio and John Creamer of Creamer and K will spin the crowd into a frenzy. Typically more than 2,000 people circulate through the Casbah on July 4 weekend.

In coordination with Lady Gaga’s appearance at Boardwalk Hall, Trump Plaza Beach Bar is having a mini Monster Ball after the show with the Canadian act called Poker Face — The Lady Gaga Tribute Show. The show encapsulates “the look, voice, costumes, intrigue and more” according to a release. It will start around 10pm (or shortly after the concert lets out). A cover charge may apply. At Trump Plaza’s Liquid Bar, singer Teddi Fusco will appear for a special July 4 performance starting 9pm.

The Deck at Trump Marina has a jam-packed weekend of live entertainment, dancing, food and drink specials this Independence Day weekend. There will be a chance to win $10,000 in the Corona Lime Toss on July 3 — a contest pitting people against one other to toss a little slice of lime into a cup. Also at Trump Marina, starting Friday night, July 2, The Disco will be open every Friday

Max-imum Art Exhibit Editor’s Choice Iconic artist Peter Max has brought his art exhibits to Ocean Galleries in Stone Harbor so many times, it just might qualify as his summer home. He will be back this July 4 weekend with his latest explosion of color, called “Summer to the Max” at the gallery on Saturday, July 3, and Sunday, July 4.

In celebration of Independence Day, the “Summer to the Max” exhibition will feature many of the artist’s classic renditions of American icons, such as the Statue of Liberty and American flag. Additionally, the collection will include new original beach-themed paintings created specifically for the Stone Harbor show.

In an interview with Atlantic City Weekly, the 72-year-old artist talked about his exhibition and his mutual admiration for one of his latest subjects, singer Taylor Swift (see picture).

Max explains that he has been bringing his art to Ocean Galleries since 2000 because, “I met the owners [Josh and Kim Miller] and I really liked them. When one of my associates suggested I do a show there I said, yes. I love those people and I love the area.”

In talking about the pieces he is bringing to the exhibit, he explains, “It will have a lot of iconic pieces that people [will recognize] and a lot of brand new stuff.”

Max has a bond with the South Jersey seaside. Besides his Stone Harbor shows, he also vacationed in Atlantic City as a teenager. “Atlantic City was always a beautiful place and it’s close to New York [where he now lives],” Max says. “I’ve lived in Shanghai, I’ve lived in Tibet, I’ve lived in India, Israel, Paris ... I was really a globetrotter as a child. It gave me a very interesting outlook on the people in the world. The people in the world are all very similar. Sometimes governments try to differentiate from each other, but people are people, children are children.

We all have the same love and cares for our families.”

While reading a magazine interview with Taylor Swift, Max found out that she admired his work. As a child she summered in Stone Harbor, and saw his work at Ocean Galleries. Max was asked to do a cover for a different magazine article and was delighted to do it. “I love Taylor Swift. She started to scream she was so excited [when she learned I would do the cover].

When she played at the Nassau Coliseum I brought her the other works I had done, I painted a group of four. She spent a half hour with me, talking about art and color and I told her how much I loved her music. She is [a] charming girl.”

Max will be on hand to meet guests and personalize artwork purchases during two receptions at Ocean Galleries taking place Saturday, July 3 and Sunday, July 4 from 7-10pm.

Max has painted for six U.S. presidents, and created the official artwork and poster for the Clinton Inauguration. His Flag With Heart impressionistic paintings of the American flag are permanent installations in the Carter, Reagan and Bush presidential libraries in addition to his Statue of Liberty paintings, which have become an annual painting tradition since America’s Bicentennial in 1976, and led to Max playing a lead role in the renovation of the Statue of Liberty.

“Summer to the Max” is free and opened to the public at Ocean Galleries, 9618 Third Ave., Stone Harbor. Any remaining art after the weekend exhibition will be on display at Ocean — Lori Hoffman Galleries through Monday, July 19.

Still Crazy After All These Years

Three decades on and the Flaming Lips are on top of their often surreal yet spectacular game

By Jeff Schwachter

I

N THE RECENT ISSUE OF Rolling Stone, the one which included the controversial Michael Hastings article that would eventually lead to President Obama’s dismissal of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, there is a big picture of the Flaming Lips shot during the band’s recent performance at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee. Reportedly, the veteran Oklahoma indie-rockers concluded their set with a cover of Pink Floyd’s 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. (The Lips released an album version earlier this year of its take on the Pink Floyd classic.)

In the RS re-cap of Bonnaroo, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, who appears with his band at the House of Blues at Showboat in Atlantic City on July 4, explained why the covers of Dark Side’s songs were important to him.

“People say, ‘Why are you doing Dark Side of the Moon? It seems dark and cynical,’ but I don’t believe it is,” Coyne tells Rolling Stone. “I think it’s a great, simple mantra, this idea of ‘all that you touch and all that you see and all that you taste’ — the idea that your experiences are your life. ... Life is not what you dream, it’s what you live.”

For the Flaming Lips, living over the past few decades has meant recording a very unique style of music, putting out exceptional albums, making videos and putting on carnival-esque stage shows.

Back in April, Coyne, 49, spoke with Atlantic City Weekly right before the start of the band’s current tour. Here are excerpts from that interview. (Read much more from this interview at acweekly.com)

I’ve been trying to think for the last hour or so what we could predict will have happened in the world between now and your Atlantic City show.

What earthquakes could have hit, what the stock market would have done; I see.

It looks like [our Atlantic City show is] way in the future, but it’s not that far off.

You watch endless episodes of America’s Next Top Model and before you know it, it’s July. It’s always like that.

How did you decide to, out of all the albums out there, re-record Dark Side of the Moon?

Well, I wish I had a more artistic and compassionate, committed answer, [but] the answer is we were getting ready to put out the Embryonic album, you know, the dou-

Coyne and crew.

ble album that came out in October [2009], and we were in New York in September and as you get ready for albums to come out — it came out in mid-October — you start to build up these things for the release date.

And I was talking with iTunes about some exclusive tracks. You know, more and more they want exclusive tracks all the time and you know you want iTunes to feature you, and I told them I don’t really have any spare tracks; we didn’t really have that much stuff even left over from the Embryonic sessions.

[So], in a kind of a panic, not in a bad panic, just in a sense to push the conversation forward, I said what if we do Dark Side of the Moon? [So] I suggested it, not having given it any thought at all.

It came out great though.

It did. That was one of the first ones that we set ourselves up for. If we could do that one then some of the others ones would be a pure joy. ... I think [we] took the bluesiness and the sarcasm and the cynicalness out of it. I think The Dark Side of the Moon gets tagged as being this slap-in-theface, this cynical kind of take on the world, but you know I never considered that and I have to say once we started to do it and really delved into what the lyrics mean — sometimes you can sing along with some lyrics and never really consider what they mean — and once we did, I didn’t really feel that way at all. I felt like it was very [much about exploring yourself]. To me it felt like it was a lot of empathy. This idea that “all that you touch and all that you see is all that your life will ever be,” it’s a warning, not just to other people, but to yourself. It’s that your life is going by and you’re not — the horizon that you keep

During the past three decades the Flaming Lips have certainly done some off-the-wall stuff, and Embryonic, I think, is definitely out there. Wouldn’t you agree?

Well, yeah. I don’t think we thought, ‘Oh let’s do something that’s out there.’

I do think there are times when you’re just moving along and suddenly you start making music and you’re like, ‘Hey! What is that? I like this.’ I think we knew about halfway through it, you know, we started to compile this stuff that seemed — it did not seem like any other record we had done. ... The best parts of all of our records are these little surprises that happen when you think you’re doing something else [and] this other thing happened and you walking towards isn’t when it begins ... get these moments and you think, ‘Well, [and] your life is already going by, you’re did we just not care about this and move already becoming who you think you’re on from what we thought we were gonna going to be, you’re not waiting in line do? Or is this the music that we’re making to get your turn, you know? And I think now?’ And I think about halfway through some of that is a great energized, ‘Hey, [recording Embryonic] we had stumbled wake up!’ kind of message and I don’t upon a few of these weird things and we know if it comes across as cynical. started to think, ‘Oh, I want to try and make a record like this.’

And the album’s one of the highest selling of all time or has been the longest on the charts What does the July 4 holiday symbolize for or something? you?

Yeah, it’s definitely one of the top [albums]. For me, the second I smell those fireworks I don’t know if it outsold Michael Jackson’s I’m just thrown back to our childhood Thriller, but yeah. And I mean I think that when we would have bottle-rocket fights. too plays into why everyone thinks, ‘Oh, We’d all go and get 200 bottle rockets and it’s so popular it must not be very good.’ we’d literally throw them at each other That’s always a major reaction people and think this was the greatest thrill ever, have and I point that out all the time. I and you know, how lucky are we that we mean some of the most popular records of didn’t poke our eye out or burn ourselves all time are some of the best records of all up or burn our house down? But there is time [because they’re just] a motherfucker. something that opens up in your mind People who love music love that stuff, that you’re doing this thing that is so and people that don’t love music love it much fun, but so dangerous and bizarre, because it’s popular. You know, populari- and even though I haven’t done that in 40 ty sometimes can put a dent in something years, the minute you smell that stuff, all that otherwise is just phenomenal. People this stuff erupts in your mind again. So, I will point to obscure things and think, would say to anybody that I have used my ‘Oh, those things must be great because freedom as an American. I hope they can the public doesn’t understand it.’ No, no, see my life and not think that I’ve wasted that’s not right! a minute of it. I think I’m one of the luckiest ...

At a recent event held at their newly opened Active Adult community, Woods Landing at Historic Mays Landing, Fernmoor Homes created much excitement among future homebuyers with their “Roll To Win And Move In” New Home Giveaway. Any contestant who rolled the six dice to spell out the words “Move In” would win a brand new home in this incredible new community by Fernmoor Homes located in Mays Landing. As the day progressed and contestants took their turns, the excitement was building with each roll of the dice. At the end of the day the secondary prize, a $500.00 gift card was awarded to Katrina Mobley who rolled four out of the six letters required to win the house. According to Sales Manager, Carol Smith-Gephart, “this event was an amazing way for potential new home buyers to learn about the incredible home values at Woods Landing by Fernmoor Homes. In addition, the existing homeowners were ecstatic to join in the fun and we even had existing resident ambassadors to show the new visitors around this terrific community and share why they chose Woods Landing to call Home!”

J U L Y 1 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W eekly . C O M

The event was held in the under-construction clubhouse, which is in the framing stage. There were tours of the model homes and the clubhouse facility and a live broadcast on four radio stations from the event by Millenium Radio’s SoJo 104.9 South Jersey’s Own Radio Station. Lynn Schalhoub, Marketing Manager adds to Carol’s enthusiasm, “In order for Fernmoor Homes to show those interested in purchasing a new Active Adult home what a special and unique neighborhood Woods Landing is, we needed to get the word out in a big way. As a result, we had over a hundred visitors to the event who registered to roll the dice and win. At the end of the day everyone was a winner because they were able to experience a small taste of what life will be like in this friendly, chic community.”

In addition to the distinctive exterior architectural designs of the homes at Woods Landing, the homes feature 1,502 sq.ft., up to 2300 sq.ft., with such highlights as hardwood floors, upgraded kitchens and even finished lofts per plan. There are several Quick Delivery Homes which offer loads of options and over 2600 sq.ft., priced from $239,900 for those buyers who wish to spend their summer in a new home at the Jersey Shore. Homeowners at Woods Landing will also enjoy countless hours of fun and recreation, as well as friendship and community at the clubhouse, which is slated to be complete later this year and will feature “The Club”, a casual elegance Sports Bar and Billiards Pub, state-of-the-art fitness center and outdoor pool, among other amenities.

Another benefit to those homebuyers comparing communities and home buying values, Fernmoor Homes has created a unique program that provides buyers with “MOOR” reasons to take another look at their neighborhoods before making their final decision. According to Smith-Gephart, “The Get Moor Program is about families, and providing them with what they need and want in a new home for a price that makes sense. It’s about utilizing building products in the construction of the homes that are efficient and environmentally friendly. Offering choices and flexibility, innovation and smart designs for today’s families is what sets Fernmoor Homes apart from any other builder. Our buyers have peace of mind in knowing that they have made the correct choice in a home, a neighborhood and a builder. Fernmoor Homes provides all that and MOOR for their homebuyers.”

Knight & Day

Spy vs. Spy

Tom Cruise goes comedy commando in enjoyable ‘Knight and Day’

By Lori Hoffman

I

F THERE IS ONE THING THAT Tom Cruise understands it is how to be a movie star. He has been doing it successfully since he helped make subway travel so sexy in his breakout hit Risky Business (1983).

Cruise still has his boyish grin working at age 48 and puts it to good use in Knight and Day, a movie that engages us with comedic spy vs. spy antics that provide the skill and panache that the summer’s previous spy comedy, Killers, with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, failed at miserably.

The improvement comes with a director, James Mangold (Walk the Line) who knows how to balance action and character development, a script that gives him a solid blueprint (by Patrick O’Neill) to do just that and the aforementioned star power of Tomcat, with a valuable assist from Cameron Diaz. She also knows a Knight & Day ★★★★ Directed by James Mangold; Rated PG-13

★★★★ Grown Ups Directed by Dennis Dugan; Rated PG-13

thing or two about when to flash her killer grin. Cruise and Diaz vs. Kutcher and Heigl is no contest.

Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) is a spy on a mission who bumps into likable June (Cameron Diaz) at the airport. This encounter puts her under suspicion as an accomplice by the two bad guys, an arms dealer and a rogue American agent respectively, who want what Roy has, the ultimate power source. As Alfred Hitchcock would remind us, this is the MacGuffin, the classic movie gambit. It is the object of desire, a movie device that allows us to fall in love with our hero and heroine on the run as they protect it from those that would use it for evil.

This particular story also involves a human MacGuffin, the socially inept nerd inventor Simon Feck (Paul Dano), who loves the music of Hall & Oates. Roy needs to protect him and his balance-ofpower altering invention.

What makes this summer popcorn fling feel like a real movie is the anchor of its characters. They might be flying around on an impossible mission in various exotic locations across the globe, but in the quiet moments we learn about them and

why they are worth caring about. Those quiet moments are placed perfectly, like emotional depth charges that explode and energize the enjoyment factor.

Mangold and his screenwriter have provided just the right amount of character insight to engage us, but not too much to slow down the action. That is a balancing act that has been missing from too many movies of late. The other element that makes Knight and Day stand out is that the action scenes, while big and bold and loaded with CGI effects, do not have the horrible choppiness that smacks of video game inspiration. They might be CGI effects as bulls are chasing a car in the streets of a Spanish town, but we can feel the rush; we are willing to suspend our disbelief to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Knight and Day has enough butter on the popcorn to make this summer movie flavorful and fun.

Whiz Kids

Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider, is a tired and ultimately insipid take on the cookie cutter premise of

grown men who wish they were still boys and express that desire when they get together for a funeral. If the filmmakers, including director Dennis Dugan, had bothered to come up with something new, it might have worked. Instead they lean on all the typical clichés about bodily functions, including five grown men peeing in a water park pool where the water turns dark blue, a farting grandma/blamethe-dog joke, and other lame attempts at comedy. Tell me, do the wives always have to be the sensible, responsible ones?

Naturally the movie tries to tie the premise up nicely by telling us the guys learned about what it takes to be a responsible adult. The audience will find no such lessons — and very few laughs — from this brain dead movie. ■ 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/
