LETTER FROM HOME

Overdrive

Motoring fast: The Final Frontier

motored westward on I-40 toward Death Valley. My car, Thor, was loaded with gear, a funk CD compiled by DJ Don Durango, and directions to a top-secret campsite with views reputed to induce something akin to Nirvana. I was little more than an hour into my getaway when I nosed up behind a swarm of RVs living large in both lanes, chugging away at top speeds of about 45 mph. I moved into the passing lane. Chaka Khan made it all the way through “Tell Me Something Good” before the RV in front of me began to muster the octane it needed to speed up and move over. My impatience spiked. My impatience bubbled. Bill Withers encouraged me to keep on using him until I used him up, but all I wanted was to get There. When the RV eventually lurched its wide rear end outBy of Laura the passing Kelly lane, I Laura dropped a spectacularly Kelly immature leaden foot onto my accelerator, zoomed up a hill and registered a startling number onto the radar gun the stealth highway patrol officer pointed at my car. Busted. Busted for diverting petty emotional drama into my driving. Busted for velocity psychosis—the delusional idea that fast is where it’s at. Busted for zooming to a place where my aim was to go slower. A few weeks later I sat in a Seligman court beneath an Arizona state flag large enough to tent my house. Remorse, embarrassment and shame lobbed wrecking balls inside my head. After I was given an elegant lecture and the consequences I deserved, I meandered into larger thoughts: Is traffic school an oxymoron? Was my speeding ticket a cosmic indictment on the rest of my life? What kind of sham go-slow disciple am I if I drive like Wile E. Coyote jacked on meth? Like everyone I know who was 16 when I was, I bee lined to the Department of Motor Vehicles the day after my birthday. It wasn’t just a driver’s license I was after, it was status and emancipation and that rigid little plastic rectangle that conferred club membership. Driving meant I was cool. It meant freedom. 4 | flaglive.com | April 28-May 4, 2016

Photo by Mary Williams. It meant I was a symbolic step closer to adulthood, which had the allure and promise of the New World. And it mostly meant I could sneak out at night to drive to the high school party always happening near Lake Hollingsworth. I’ve been driving longer than I’ve been voting, longer than the full development of the frontal lobe of my brain, longer than I have displayed and lived into the behaviors that define maturity. Am I good driver? Not all the time. I’ve had three traffic tickets in my four decades of driving, but that math doesn’t reflect my wider reality. I’ve sped many, many times without being caught, mostly on highways, mostly in a state of distracted mindlessness. I’m not sure why I do it, especially because I don’t consider myself as someone who brings anything into my driving except a desire to go from Point A to Point B. I’m not

plagued with road rage. Speeding doesn’t feed a need for thrill seeking. I’m not Type A or in a particular hurry to get most places. I think about the rest of my life and the calibrations I’ve made to my daily speedometer. I live conscious of my consumerism (except in the area of shoes). I am a wholehearted diner in the slow food movement. I stumble through the teachings and insights of Buddhism, and I’ve edited my life to value its purpose more than its pace. Why doesn’t my driving life align with the time I am not in my car? Maybe my driving is my final frontier in my own personal slow movement. I know in my head about the dangers of speed on the highway. Part of my recent fine was completing an online defensive driving course that starred a somber narrator relaying grisly accidents caused by excessive speed. While this isn’t

the kind of approach that usually spurs me to change my behavior, it did make me think further. Kierkegaard lamented that we are prone to pursuing pleasure with such breathless haste that we rush past it. Maybe it’s not about going fast. Maybe it is about waking up and realizing that I take my life with me everywhere I go–no matter how I get there. Laura Kelly is the executive director of the Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy.

LETTERS TO DUCEY

Real value

The bad news about Clif Bars Dear Governor Ducey, It has been a short summer. I thought I’d give you and me a break from the incessant pleas to you to reconsider the devastating education budget cuts, but now that time is over. I hope you had the opportunity to take a vacation. Perhaps on said vacation you had the chance to reevaluate your position. It isn’t easy to change your mind, but it can happen, especially when you’re on break and have time to reflect. Sometimes, when Nicole you go into a situation, you Walker think you know what you should do, like when you first became governor and thought you had to Scott Walker the state. But sometimes, you do that “thought-was-the-right-thing” and then you realize you were wrong. This happened to me coming back from a vacation to Salt Lake City. My family lives in Utah, where they, too, would like to Scott Walker the place, but where I still like to visit to see my family. We head north on 89 through Page, Kanab, Orderville, Panguitch until we hit I-15 and can legally drive 82 miles per hour. We stop at Walker’s Wendy’s* in Kanab. We had quite a convivial time in Salt Lake at my sister’s wedding. So much conviviality that I thought instead of eating at Wendy’s, which is always my dream and no one else’s, since Zoe doesn’t like fast food (although I could have persuaded Max now that he likes hamburgers with everything on them), that we should eat something healthy. Even

Erik, who also doesn’t like fast food, said, “We can eat at Wendy’s, for lunch,” which is rare and persuasive. But I stuck to my healthy, Walker-guns. We enter the Walker’s Fuel Stop on the right instead of the Wendy’s on the left. But then I notice it’s no longer Walker’s Fuel Stop. It’s a 7-Eleven. We don’t have 7-Elevens in Flagstaff (maybe you can do something about that). I had promised Max and Zoe a Slurpee. They had never had one. They taste better than Icees (the flavor saturates the ice more fully) although probably not healthier—the same as Vitamin Water, I suspect, which I would have bought them if they’d asked because we’re at the Fuel Stop in Kanab and I am easily persuaded to the word “Vitamin” when on a “health kick” in Kanab, Utah, and the only provisions available are at the Fuel Stop. But after the Slurpee, that was it! No more junk food. I made them buy some nuts. Some beef jerky. It took me a long time to find the granola bars. I know not much of this is really

healthy but it’s “Fuel Stop Healthy.” Or so I thought. We checked out. $25.79. Erik said, “Wendy’s would have been cheaper.” I nodded. But worse for you. Much worse. Right? No, is the answer. Wendy’s would have been better for you. And cheaper. The saturated fat content on the granola bars (Clif Builder’s. Chocolate Mint) was 30 percent. That’s worse than a hamburger. And, the saturated fat is palm oil! The palms are the trees for which they cut down rain forests! “The industry is linked to major issues such as deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses in the countries where it is produced, as the land and forests must be cleared for the development of the oil palm plantations.” According to the World Wildlife Fund, an area the equivalent size of 300 football fields of rainforest is cleared each hour to make way for palm oil production. This large-scale deforestation is pushing many species to extinction, and findings show that if nothing changes, species like

Great work, Clif Bar & Co. As we drove away, I looked longingly at the Wendy’s sign in the rearview mirror. The Clif Bar tasted chemical and chalky.

the orangutan could become extinct in the wild within the next five to 10 years, and Sumatran tigers less than three years. Great work, Clif Bar & Co. As we drove away, I looked longingly at the Wendy’s sign in the rearview mirror. The Clif Bar tasted chemical and chalky. I know it will be hard for you to admit that funding universities at a sustainable level is healthier for the state than funding, say, prisons, which is good for the prison industry in the same way the granola bar is good for the palm oil industry. But you can see right on the packaging how spending more to keep people in jail than to educate them is a dumb idea: more expensive and not really as healthful as the hiker on the package suggests. Sometimes it just takes a little time, maybe when you’re on vacation, to see where real value lies. *This story has a lot of Walkers in it. Scott Walker. I’m a Walker. And we stopped at what once was Walker’s Fuel Stop, which also houses the Wendy’s in Kanab. Which is now a 7-Eleven.

Duty wild and free

ey, folks! We originally planned to bring you all-out coverage surrounding the Japanese rock amalgam that is Boris, but we hit a snag when we couldn’t track down a translator specializing in Japanese and English. But! But, but— all things considered (shout out to loyal reader Ari Shapiro), this band must command your attention in any way possible. Throughout their career reaching back to the mid-1990s, Boris (taking its name from a Melvins song) has woven exquisite sonic tapestries melding metal-edged guitar, ethereal vocals, synth, and a firestorm of imagination and creativity. Atsuo (drums), Wata (bass and keys) and Takeshi (guitar and vocals) have worked their magic on more than a dozen solo studio records, gaining North American acclaim in 2005 with Pink. Their heavy-handed artistry also barrels across collaboration albums with other Japanese artists, most recently with Merzbow on Gensho: a freshly pressed re-recording of Boris songs on disc one and new compositions from Merzbow on disc two, but the trick is really (if you can) play them at the same time like some Dark Side of Oz drama. And if you can’t swing that just yet, find out why when Boris stop through town with openers Obsidian and Auma at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz. 8 p.m. Tickets to this ages 16-and-over show are $12 in advance and $15 the day of the show. For more, dial 226-8669 or visit www.flagstaffgreenroom.com.

Spellers, start your cerebral cortices! Once a year, The Literacy Center lets adults in on the fun of spelling bees (hey, some of us really love spelling), and that fest is celebrating a big anniversary. The 20th annual Mountain Spelling Bee is preparing another rendition of the crazy Flag bee where the teams dress up in costume and all proceeds benefit TLC so fresh adult competitors are guaranteed to regenerate. Teams of three, with a designated speller, take on the hardest words in the English language while spectators and participants enjoy dinner, drinks, a silent auction and raffle. But what is a bee anyway? Besides an insect, the word itself, so says SpellingBee.com, is a “puzzle” unaccounted for over the ages at least in origin. It can apply to any community social gathering surrounding a single activity that helps a person or family. And so it is, Flag’s Mountain Bee follows in those helpful medieval footsteps at the High Country Conference Center, 201 W. Butler, from 5:30–10 p.m. Entrants and attendees pay $50 per person, or donors can sponsor tables. To learn more about the Bee and how to register your team, call organizer Ari Wilder or email director@thinkliteracy. org. Learn more at www.thinkliteracy.org.

TOW’R AND MIGHT‌

It’s pretty difficult to cast doubt on whether or not Tow’rs has been carving its name in the hearts of a fleet of listeners the world over (just take a peek at their Spotify listen counts), but in the last couple years, catching one of their solo shows has sported the same relative probability as a butterfly landing on your nose. But here you are, dear Tow’rs fans and new converts just the same, here is your fair warning that the five-piece folk, rock, indie, everything outfit is heading to a stage near you before a mini tour. The band is still fresh off the heels of its newest album, The Great Minimum (2015), which ditches Kyle Keller’s banjo that made a heavy appearance on their self-titled debut (2014), and instead picks up electric riffs amid Kory Miller’s jazz-style syncopation and Emma Crislip’s emotive cello. Kyle and Gretta Miller carry the vocal work in beautifully complementary harmonies while playing acoustic guitar and bass, respectively. With a band that works so well together, we only

Hot Picks hope they continue to push themselves and their listeners to further their exploration of the questions and realizations posed between the lines of music. Live it up at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz, with Architecture kicking off the night. 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. Ages 18 and over. 226-8669. www.towrsmusic.com.

After a two-year hiatus from school, Cooley decided to take an art class at Coconino Community College, which is exactly where Palette to Palate takes place, at the Lone Tree Campus, 2800 S. Lone Tree Road, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $30–$70. 527-1222. www.coconinofoundation. org.

» Saturday | 4.30‌ LET NO OCEAN DIVIDE‌

As the spring semester at Northern Arizona University winds down, a new cache of students within the School of Art are unveiling the final projects of their undergraduate careers. Multiple pieces from 10 students spread across two- and three-dimensional media, including video, at the Bachelor of Fine Arts Show: Spring 2016. Augmenting the participants’ creative strength, the spring 2016 show is the first time the students themselves entirely curated the exhibition, compiling pieces in expert flow to guide visitors from Michael Davis’ ragged bronze figures, Tolley Rippon’s conceptual ceramics and Kyrsten Pilger’s clay embodiment of depression. Oil paintings line the walls detailing the inner workings of the mind juxtaposing prints illustrating America’s National Parks. Earl Petznick’s 3-D sculptures utilize local materials like ponderosa and hand-shorn wool to convey memories amid a massive human form, and offers just one look into the evolving minds of students ready to turn to the next page in their ever-lengthening books. A community reception in the Beasley Gallery, inside NAU’s Performing Arts Building, will take place from 5–7 p.m., and the exhibition runs through Fri, May 13. To learn more, call 523-4612 or visit www.nau.edu/cal/art/galleries/basley-gallery.

students at Coconino Community College. The 14th annual Palette to Palate event is this and more as the funds raised supplement Arizona’s continued slashing of higher ed funds while providing scholarships for CCC students, studio equipment and—holler—field trips! Oh, don’t we miss those? Just because some of us don’t get regular travel through school doesn’t mean we should deprive current students of one of school life’s great pleasures. So to make all this happen, the Fine Arts Department has teamed up with more than a dozen local restaurants that will serve up their very best creations while seeking Palate of Choice Awards in the categories of the best hors d’oeuvre, dessert and presentation. After everyone’s good and full, 14 pieces of art will land on the bloc during a live auction while more than 30 other pieces will be part of a silent auction. Continuing with tradition, the coveted spot of Signature Piece goes to CCC student Rodylan Cooley for his piece, Apple.

As the semester comes to a close for college students, locals and visitors can get a taste of what some student groups have been up to all semester. Northern Arizona University professor Leah Mundell has teamed her Civic Engagement Second Year Seminar class with Professor Laura Camden’s photojournalism class to present Migrant Lives and Leadership, which opens a bi-national aperture focusing on both migrants of South Africa and the Flagstaff community. This project is a product of the partnership between graduate in the Masters of Sustainable Communities program and First Year Seminar teachers to form what is the Immigration Action Research Team. This advocacy group shines light into the interconnections of immigration, globalization, trade and Arizona. Working with a number of groups like No More Deaths, NAICL and Repeal Coalition, the team seeks to lend undergraduate students the opportunity to not only learn about the struggles that immigrants face, but to also interact with them personally and see the world through their eyes. Through interviews and photographs, students share the stories of these migrants in Cape Town and Flagstaff in an exhibition that kicks off with a community reception and discussion between visitors and exhibition participants at the Murdoch Community Center, 203 E. Brannen, from 5–7 p.m. The exhibit then moves to Firecreek Coffee Co., 22 E. Rte. 66, throughout the month of May beginning with First Friday ArtWalk on May 6. To learn more, call 523-1494.

GUEST EDITOR’S HEAD

Raining purple tears

n December 1998, I entered into a public feud regarding one of greatest musicians of the 20th century: Prince. At the office of The Journal where I worked at the time, I announced I was having a New Year’s Eve party. The theme? Prince. All Prince and Prince-inspired and affiliated music. Wear purple. Or choose a costume based on a song. Please go to a second-hand store and find a raspberry beret. Maybe even dress as a dove crying. My co-worker and the living editor at this newspaper, Holly Lux, was at first excited. It turned out she was a die-hard Prince fanatic. But she was curious as to why Prince, and I brought up that the calendar was going from 1998 to 1999. So, at midSeth night we could play the Muller song, “1999.” As in, tonight I’m going to party like it’s 1999. “Dude, that is an abomination,” I remember her saying, or something along those lines. “The song is about it turning 2000. You know, two-thousand-zero-zero party over, oops, out of time? Sorry, you’ll have to wait until next year.” I was kind of hung up on the Prince theme. And I argued that the song could be played throughout 1999. The song was called “1999,” and after 2000, it was going to be dated. So, I stuck to my guns and went looking for a purple unitard, cape and Batman facemask like any normal person would do. This, however, was not the end of it. Lux challenged me to a dueling column in the Sunday paper, in which she could take the “you cannot play ‘1999’ this New Year’s” side. I was the “sure you can play it, why not?” side. She had a deep-rooted conviction on her position that could not be explained by mere reason. But I felt I made my case that the song clearly had applicability to the whole calendar year. It’s 1999. Let’s party like it. Lux and I worked through our differences, as the one thing we shared in common was, essentially, being at least partially raised on the music of Prince Rogers Nelson—aka Prince, aka The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. It started with me at 10 years old when,

totally strung out on Kool-Aid and Little Debbie’s snack cakes, I danced around the house to “Let’s Go Crazy.” At 10, that song said it all. Despite my mom’s serious reservations even in that time before parental advisory labels, I bought the album Purple Rain with my allowance money. I fell out of the first Prince phase but he came back around in junior high with Sign O’ the Times. Another brilliant album. My ninth grade year was all about Batman, and he was there singing “Batdance.” I thought maybe Prince was nearing the end of his musical rope with that one, but Diamonds and Pearls was a big hit during my senior year in high school. The Love Symbol album was around during my freshman year in college, and I remember a house party where the song “Sexy MF” was blasted and on repeat. The night was later closed out with “7.” This all leads up to meeting my wife Jane, who, as it turned out, was also a major Prince fan and had the same phenomenon of feeling like Prince was there at every significant life turn. We both agreed that he was in the top of the top best musicians to ever record a song, period. So, when news of his death came last week, it choked us both up. And feelings both scary and beautiful shook me. They hit hardest when I read this sentence in a story about Prince’s death: “The autopsy began at 9 a.m. CDT and was completed by Dr. A. Quinn Strobl at 1 p.m. local time.” Followed by other quotes from the medical examiner’s office that kept calling him “Mr. Nelson.” It startled me to think of Prince as a flesh-and-blood human being. You know, Mr. Nelson—with a body that could be autopsied. He walked around in the same kind of body we all do, a mortal one. It is so eerie to think that Prince was, in the end, just a person. But here is what sets him apart forever. He created at the highest and deepest levels. He entered charged, ethereal spaces and returned with music no one else but him could conjure. It reshaped the world. So a veil was lifted for this brief moment with Prince’s death, where I glanced at the bright light that is the human ability to make lasting creation. Thank you, Prince.

Chuck Shepherd

That’s Entertainment!

One notably hyper-successful YouTube channel (700,000 subscribers) features Mr. Lauri Vuohensilta of Finland pulverizing various objects, such as a bowling ball, in a 100-ton hydraulic press. Said Vuohensilta, “I think it’s built into every person— the need to destroy something.” That channel is free of charge, but other entrepreneurs have created 24-hour pay-per-month websites and apps offering similarly specialized programming, e.g., “Zombie Go Boom” (actors taking chainsaws to things; $5 a month), “Hungry Monk Yoga” (posing in orange robes while teaching martial arts; $15 a month), and “Lather Fantasies” (clothed people “excessively shampooing each other’s hair”; $20 a month). An April Wall Street Journal report noted that the “lather” channel “sounds kinkier than it actually is.”

Leading Economic Indicators

New Jersey is a big state, but when just one man decided to move away, the state legislature’s budget office director warned that the loss of that man’s taxes might lead to state revenue problems. Billionaire hedge-fund manager David Tepper evidently pays a bundle, and the budget office director pointed out that the state’s reliance on personal income taxes means that even a 1 percent drop in anticipated tax could create a gap of $140 million under forecasts.

The Job of the Researcher

Researchers already knew that masked birch caterpillars “rub hairs on their rear ends against a leaf to create vibrations,” according to an April National Geographic report, but a forthcoming article by Carleton University biologists describes that “drumming” as actually part of their “sophisticated signaling repertoire” to attract others—not for mating but for assistance in spinning their protective silk cocoons. The researchers’ “laser vibrometer” detects sound likely inaudible to humans, but when the caterpillars feed, it’s clearly, said one researcher, “Chomp, chomp, chomp, anal scrape. Chomp, chomp, chomp, anal scrape.”

Undignified Deaths

A 69-year-old man was killed on March 17 while awaiting emergency care at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, N.C. He had been seriously injured in an earlier accident and was in the waiting room when a 59-year-old driver’s car crashed through the hospital doors and fatally struck him. A 55-year-old man was killed in Memphis, Tenn., on March 23 when a 15-foot trailer came loose and crashed into him on a sidewalk. The deceased, who had a lengthy criminal record for sexual assault, might have avoided the trailer if he had not been distracted by watching pornography on his phone as he walked.

NEWS OF THE

WEIRD

Least Competent Criminals

Amanda Schweickert, 28, was charged with a felony and three driving offenses in March in Springville, N.Y., when deputies noticed that her rear license plate was just a piece of cardboard painted to sort of resemble a New York plate, (but more likely suggesting the work of an elementary school art class). New York also requires a front plate, (but Schweickert had not gotten around to that yet.)

Sex ‘n’ Veggies

Emergency surgeons at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Costa Rica removed an 18-inch-long “yuca” (cassava root) from the posterior of a 55-year-old man in April after one of the two condoms encasing it ruptured inside him. A photograph in San Juan’s Diario Extra showed that the yuca had been carved into a phallic shape. Apparently, the man avoided what could have been catastrophic internal injury. Funeral directors who mix up bodies—either accidentally or, in some cases, fraudulently—are not uncommon, but Thomas Clock III of Clock Funeral Home at White Lake in Whiteside, Mich., was charged with a bit more in April. Not only did Clock allegedly fail to bury the ashes of the late Helen Anthony in Dec., interring an empty box instead, but when the family asked for a specific burial date, Clock allegedly told them that no workers were available and that the family would have to dig the cemetery plot themselves—for which Clock helpfully advised using a “post hole digger.” (And they did.)

Updates

What is believed to be the longest-running armed standoff in U.S. history came to a quiet conclusion on Jan. 6 in Trinidad, Texas, when John Joe Gray outlasted the district attorney—never having left his 47-acre ranch in the past 15 years. In 1999, Gray, carrying a pistol but without a permit, resisted arrest and bit a state trooper, retreating to his property, refusing to leave for court. The sheriff, explaining why his deputies declined to go after him, once said, “Joe Gray has been in prison out there himself (for 14 years).” Actually, the charges were dismissed in Dec. 2014, but when the district attorney left office, he failed to notify Gray or the deputies.

A News of the Weird Classic (March 2012)

Newspapers in Sweden reported in Jan. (2012) that two of the country’s most heinous murderers apparently fell in love with each other at their psychiatric institution and, following a 26-day Internet-chat “courtship,” had decided to marry. Isakin Jonsson, “the Skara Cannibal” was convicted of killing, decapitating and eating his girlfriend, and Michelle Gustafsson, “the Vampire Woman” was convicted of killing a father of four and drinking his blood. Said the love-struck Jonsson to the newspaper Expressen, “I have never met anyone like (Michelle).” The pair will almost certainly remain locked up forever, but Gustafsson wrote that she hopes they will be released, to live together and “have dogs and pursue our hobbies, piercing and tattoos.” April 28-May 4, 2016 | flaglive.com | 9

your displeasure and dramatically sweeping away. Hemsworth has more fun than in the first film, and Chastain gets an action role as another Huntsman. Her Sara can fight as well as Hemsworth’s Eric. But it is Blunt and Theron who know how to chew the scenery in an appropriate manner. Winter’s War also tries for some humor with Nick Fost and Rob Brydon as dwarves dealing with some

female dwarves played by Sheridan Smith and Alexandra Roach, which intermittently works. The Huntsman: Winter’s War tries to create an action-packed tale of manipulated lovers and crazy queens, but it all ends up a mediocre movie. Sure, the crazy queens are entertaining, but it isn’t enough. The film even tries to set up another sequel, but it can’t raise any excitement at the thought.

One of the many reasons both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul succeed is the moral ambiguities they present. We know that Jimmy and another audience favorite from Breaking Bad, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), aren’t opposed to operating on the wrong side of the law (or bar association); yet each has a definite ethical code, certain lines they won’t cross … or not without the right push, at least.

It’s great fun to see the events and people that shaped Saul Goodman (‘s all good, man!); creators/showrunners Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould use chronology jumps and familiar characters to lead us toward his first dealings with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, yet the series also stands on its own. Frasier and The Colbert Report prove that spin-offs can be great, and Better Call Saul is one of the greatest yet.

You should totally dial him up

for answering my prayers, because Better Call Saul debuted last year. Having just concluded its second season on April 18, I have two observations: first, 10 episodes is not enough. Second, I’m glad it’s been renewed for Season 3. Serving as both a spin-off and a prequel to Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul Dan Stoffel takes us back five or six years before Breaking Bad (with very once in a while a television sesome flash-forwards ries comes along that changes the Better to events after that game. AMC hit the jackpot in 2008 Call Saul series as well). Saul with creator Vince Gilligan’s brilliant is not Saul yet; he’s Breaking Bad. Over five seasons, the inCreated by still James McGill, telligent, hilarious, harrowing tale of a Vince Gilligan nicknamed “Slippin’ suburban high school teacher-turned & Peter Gould Jimmy” from his exmeth kingpin garnered kudos, awards, ploits as a con artist and an ever-growing following thanks to Rated TV-14 who bilks suckers on streaming services such as Netflix.

What about Bob? Adrienne Bischoff t’s kind of a badge of honor for Bob Odenkirk that many audiences are only now just discovering him as the titular character of AMC’s Better Call Saul. The guy has been involved in film and television for 30 years, yet his work retains an edge often associated with up-and-comers. Partly that’s because of his eclectic career: as a writer, comedian, actor, director and producer, he never wears one hat for too long. But also—as evidenced by his collaborations with talents like David Cross, Robert Smigel, Conan O’Brien, Ben Stiller, Garry Shandling, and Bryan Cranston— Odenkirk just has a knack for picking smart, offbeat projects. ‌After writing and performing sketches in high school and college, Odenkirk wrote for Saturday Night Live in the late ’80s and early ’90s, when Robert Smigel and Conan O’Brien were also on staff. In fact, during a writers strike in 1988, Smigel, O’Brien and Odenkirk—a great law firm name—wrote and performed The Happy, Happy Good Show, a live sketch show in Chicago. It’s almost hard to fathom that much talent in one room, let alone the poor reviews the show received. After brief stints writing for Get a Life, The Dana Carvey Show, The Dennis Miller Show and The Ben Stiller Show—all of which became short-lived, cult favorites— Odenkirk played talent agent Stevie Grant on The Larry Sanders Show, starring Garry Shandling. At the same time, he and fellow Stiller writer David Cross created Mr. Show, the HBO series that ran from 1995 to 1998. Mr. Show drew comparisons to Monty Python’s Flying Circus for its absurdity and intelligence. If you’re interested in knowing more about Odenkirk— or, hell, even if you’re not—you should check out a couple of seasons of this irreverent show. Aside from brief, but memorable guest appearances on many sitcoms, including Seinfeld and The Office, Odenkirk mostly stayed behind the scenes. He directed the

But in the last six years, likely influenced by his now iconic role as Saul Goodman, Odenkirk has been popping up all over the place. You can see him in the Academy Award-nominated film Nebraska (2013), the Netflix series reboot W/ Bob and David (2015), and in guest appearances on TV shows including How I Met Your Mother, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Fargo and The Birthday Boys. And now that Better Call Saul is a hit, Odenkirk’s most compelling argument seems to be that talent and intelligence never go out of style.

BREW

Masters of Brewtality Dark Sky celebrates one year and 100 beers Mike Williams his month’s Masters of Brewtality is going to be a bit of departure, but it’s only fitting in that the brewery we’re spotlighting is as unique as both their beers and business model. Dark Sky Brewing Co. is celebrating their one-year anniversary on May 6th with a hootenanny the likes of which the Flagstaff craft beer scene has never seen. Music, food and, of course, endless suds will supplement the celebration of the freakin’ insane fact that DSB has accomplished the nearly unbelievable feat of cranking out 100 different brews in their first year. In fact, we could only find online evidence suggesting one other brewery in the country, Sycamore Brewing in Charlotte, N.C., has achieved the same. ‌It was a gamble that paid off in spades, too. People have come out in droves to a brewery that seems to completely reinvent itself every week and that’s added enough change to the coffers to allow DSB to double their taproom’s size. The revamp looks amazing, with their immediately recognizable aesthetic dramatically expanded and we’re finally going to be able to drink next to the fermenters! There’s just something about having a fresh beer sitting right next to where it’s actually made that creates this deep connection to the whole experience. We sat down with owner and head brewer, Nick Irvine, and co-owner and brewer, Ryan Sandlin, to chat about the whole thing and here’s what we got.

‌T

What all do we need to know? Nick Irvine: Well, May 6th, we’re celebrating our one-year anniversary. We started on a First Friday, so we wanted to have our anniversary on a First Friday. Technically we opened on May 1st. Ryan Sandlin: Running about five days late! (Laughs.) Nick: Yup! We’re going to have music all day long. Right now, definitely two bands, but probably about three. We’re pulling in one from Albuquerque, a really kicka** band called Saint Range, and decker. here. He’s a huge fan of ours and we’re a huge fan of his, then to-be-determined from there. Drink specials, obviously. This is just a celebration of a crazy, crazy year. 12 | flaglive.com | April 28-May 4, 2016

The idea we had for a while was to run one for a while, then switch to something different, so it’d be rotating flagships, too. But there’s some we’d get in trouble for not having all the time, like the jalapeño and the Bear Jaw. Which four were you thinking about? Can you give us a sneak peek? Nick: Of course! Jalapeño Pale Ale, all grown locally by our buddy Tim, and Bear Jaw Imperial Cherry Brown. Ryan: We’ll always have one of our IPAs on a rotating tap and our Lemon Saison. Nick: Were keeping a couple light drinking ones steady so you know you can always come in and get a refreshing brewski. And the expansion is looking insane, too. Nick: We’re doubling the space and quadrupling the volume of beer we’re making. You’ve got music, food and beer. Anything else you’d want folks to know? Ryan: I think that’s about all we can do this year. We’re going to save the clowns, balloons, and go-kart racing for the next anniversary. (Laughs.) Nick: We also had our Mug Club members get together on the 27th to celebrate and get their new mugs, new T-shirts, and party. It’s always a good time to get together and celebrate with the people that really believed in us from day one. Ryan: We’re opening the bar at 2 p.m. on May 6th and will be running until whenever. Maybe 5 [a.m.] the next day, who knows. Kidding! Awesome, thanks so much guys, and congratulations!

M e m elp e h t n i ’ n Ameripolitan Man i l l a f m ’ I ashDale Watson: More than a little bit not countr y y, ju e k i l r t g n n i u k o c o o r l o f a s w ’ t o n y r t n u o c S o o t m ’ n i t u o h ’ s n i a k C a y e n r b m John ’ I , e l r e M e m p Hel h s a r o l c y e h t n e h w t i n w o n k ’ a d l u o h S t n i e g n a h c o t d n u o b e r a s g n i h T By Douglas McDaniel

o where and when did country music cross the line? Just ask Dale Watson, perhaps one of the leading critics of the genre. With his taste for fine western wear and trademark pompadour, he’s a purist, for sure. There was no evolution in Dale Watson’s music. He started out 30 years ago as an authentic, and if you want to

know what authentic is, you still listen to Dale Watson, with his bass-tenor range and brilliant phrasing of the great American twang. And then, when you ask him what he’s doing, he’ll say it’s something else, not country. Country music, he says, agreeing with Tom Petty, “has become bad rock ‘n’ roll with a fiddle.”

Oh, it’s worse. Much worse. Petty was just being polite. Watson is not polite. In fact, his first album produced a bit of an alt-country hit, “Nashville Rash,” which only goes to show that Watson has made a career out of being impolite about the whole drift of the country music game. As he sang, in 1995: Help me Merle, I’m breakin’ out in a Nashville rash It’s a-looking like I’m fallin’ in the cracks I’m too country now for country, just like Johnny Cash Help me Merle, I’m breakin’ out in a Nashville rash

Shoulda’ known it when they closed the Opry down Things are bound to change in that town You can’t grow when you rip the roots out of the ground Looks like that Nashville rash is getting ‘round

So yes, songs like “Country My Ass” indicate a gift for inspiring the rebel in anyone who prefers George Jones and Johnny Cash to the radio-ready salutes found on mainstream country radio. According to the Austin Chronicle, “country music’s a crazy, gold-diggin whore, and Dale Watson wants a divorce.” Asked if this sensationally colorful line might be included in one of his songs someday, he responded, “I kind of think I already did …” then taking a pause, saying, “It’s not a bad idea, actually.”

Watson says country music went off the rails well before he released his first record, Cheatin’ Heart Attack, in 1995. That was the beginning of his career as an outspoken outsider. Actually, he blames Dolly Parton, as well as Kenny Rogers. He blames the success of the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, which, if it had been a serious, thoughtful, sociological masterpiece, would have said a lot more about the drift of the population from the rural areas into the cities. Somewhere along the line, country plugged in, and before you knew it, Garth Brooks was leap-frogging around the stage for fully amplified shows before tens of thousands of people, like David Lee Roth with a cowboy hat. “Antler rock ‘n’ roll,” grouses Watson over the phone from his home in Austin, Texas. “It was a bunch of L.A. guys, and before you knew it, we had Hootie and the Catfish. When I came out, it wasn’t so unbalanced as it is now. There is just no reverence when you put out fake music. If there is any reverence, it’s fake. They’ll call some old guys onto the stage during the show, but it’s a fake reverence.” In order to make the artform formerly known as “country” great again, Watson has coined a new phrase, “Ameripolitan,” dedicated to the maintenance of four musical styles: “Honky-tonk, western swing, outlaw and rockabilly,” he says. “I do bits of all four. If you don’t want to be associated with country music, then hey, come up to the Museum Club show to hear some Ameripolitan music.”

If honky-tonk music is about a style of music, it’s also about a place for music. Watson says his music doesn’t translate as well before thousands of people on a big amphitheater stage as it does in the smaller Museum Club-like venue. “Ameripolitan means small cities, small communities, intimate places that exist everywhere,” he says.

Based out of Austin, Watson’s “Ameripolitan” movement even has its own rewards show, now entering its third year. Watson comes from an Ameripolitan place, Pasadena, Texas, south of Houston. He grew up poor and started sneaking into bars to hear live country music in the area at an early age. “I got to hear the good music at the age of 14, when I first started going into honkytonks,” he says. “The first show I snuck into was Willie Nelson at Gilly’s,” ironically, the same citified country bar made famous by a bull-riding John Travolta. “There was still Conway Twitty on the radio. Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard were still on the radio,” recalling it as if it were a distant dream. He considered the military as a career but an eye injury when he was 12 (since corrected) kept him from enlisting, so he worked for the Shasta Bottling Co. in Houston. At the same time, he was playing in local country bands in clubs. “I finally decided I was making more money playing music than working at that warehouse job, so I started playing music full time.”

His first group was called the Classic Country Bandin. “We did the shuffles, George Jones, we played Texas honky-tonks,” he says. “The more time that passed, the more the likes of Merle Haggard became an old-timer thing. The neighborhood changed so much. It drove people out that had a different style. It was in frustration to what country music was doing that I went back to driving trucks. I enrolled in truck-driving school, but shortly into that the record company called and said they liked the album that included ‘Nashville Rash,’ and it became the independent album of the year.” There is a little bit of Hollywood, too, in Watson, he admits. After his first record came out, he moved on to Los Angeles, at the suggestion of Rosie Flores. He teamed up with John Jorgenson of the Desert Rose Band and the burgeoning alt-country scene at Curb Records. “That was a really important learning experience,” he says. “When I got to L.A., I was able to write my own songs and sing them.”

His new record, Call Me Insane, released last year and produced by Lloyd Maines, remains true to the roots of his rural music heroes. Dedicated to George Jones, Watson says he wrote most of the songs for the album just after Jones had passed away in 2013. “I miss the presence of George Jones,” he says. “What he meant and symbolized. The roots of the music keep dying, and the roots of the country music today are being firmly planted in thin air. It’s gotten to the point that now I’m ashamed to be called country music.”

For a true Ameripolitan experience, check out Dale Watson on Tue, May 3 at the Museum Club, 3404 E. Rte. 66. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show swings into gear at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15.

STAGE

The Mockingbird in flight NAU Theatre takes on a stage version of the American classic Seth Muller or the African American actors who have taken on five different roles in the NAU Theatre production of To Kill a Mockingbird, the themes, scenes and moments within the play have resonated and impacted them in different ways. ‌The 40-plus student cast and crew are tackling a stage adaptation of one of the most important novels of the 20th century—one that tells the story of a young Scout Finch through the eyes of her older self while her father Atticus Finch is called on to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman. The story is part coming of age and part exploration of social justice. The play closes out the NAU Theatre season, with its general theme of great stories told by great storytellers. It comes at a time when To Kill a Mockingbird has made headlines both for the release of a new kind-of sequel to the book, Go Set a Watchman, last summer and the passing of author Harper Lee, who died on Feb. 19 at the age of 89. While the drama centers around the Finch family, including Scout’s older brother Jem, the NAU production’s cast includes five African American students who have thought and discussed the heavy topics of the play. Marco McKay plays Robinson; Ella Joseph plays Calpurnia, the Finches’ housekeeper; Jade Dillard is Reverend Sykes; and Nykkoya McGuire and Michaela Rodriguez play church ladies who attend the trial. “What’s so powerful about it is that this play really pertains a lot to things that are still happening today,” Dillard says. “And I think it’s important we do the play where the audience can see the segregation, such as the black people in the balcony versus the white people at the bottom [during the trial.]” Joseph echoes her sense that To Kill a Mockingbird carries certain parallels to modern issues of racism and justice. “I remember very vividly the Trayvon Martin case and then the verdict came down, and that affected me and my family—and that’s the same feeling I get when I see the courtroom scenes,” she says. “I just really hope these things echo when they watch the play and people think, ‘Wow, these things are still happening

The message is there that this does not need to keep happening.” He adds, “Atticus has a job to do and it’s to ensure justice in the courtroom, regardless of who is sitting at the chair … He’s a fair enough man that he only wants

to see the right thing done. And he doesn’t want blood on anyone’s hands that does not have to be there.” As for difficult issues to wrestle with To Kill a Mockingbird, a number of the cast members say that it was difficult getting used to the use of the “n-word” that is present throughout the play. “I think that was the first thing I noticed, that it was hard hearing everyone saying the n-word,” Dillard says. “It doesn’t matter that it’s part of a play, it’s still affective. Your friends are saying it and your director is saying it, and I don’t even say it myself.”

However, McKay says that it did not have the same impact for him. “I don’t let it affect me because it does not describe me. And if you let that word offend you, it gives that word power.” From a different perspective in the play, Dayanera Disch plays the spunky, overalls-clad Scout, who views the whole scene through a more innocent lens as she tries to understand what’s happening with her father’s trial and the small town around her. “This is actually my dream role,” Disch says. “I’m so grateful to play it so early on in my life. This book is such a classic. It’s probably up there in my top favorite books … In each of these tiny little scenes in the play, I try to find that key moment that speaks to Scout and her playfulness and her innocence. I really try to focus on that. That is the key for making that scene what it is for Scout. Really, all she wants to know is the answer.” Atticus Finch, played by Rob Barnes, creates the moral center for the play as he stands up to the rampant racism from certain members of the community in order to make sure that Robinson has his day in court. “At first it’s very intimidating to have a role that most of the population has some kind of idea who your character is,” Barnes says. “How can I appeal to everyone’s taste? Eventually you’ll find that’s not going to happen, but you do your best to bring to the role what it means to you and you find how that can really speak to other people. You use your personal experience, of course, and the people in your life that you can use to shape this character.” He adds, “It’s still a challenge. You don’t want to be too big in some areas and you don’t want to be too small in others. You kind of want to find that perfect medium where that character comes to life.” Directed by NAU Theatre professor Bob Yowell, To Kill a Mockingbird will perform in the Clifford E. White Theatre, 115 S. Knoles Drive, in the NAU Performing Arts Building for its final weekend on Thu, Fri and Sat, April 28-30 at 7:30 p.m. each night, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sun, May 1. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and NAU employees, and $8 for youth and NAU students. Learn more at www.nau. edu /cal /theatre.

Real politics Why Bernie will, should, and must stay in the race

urprisingly, this week’s prize for Stupidest Political Comment in the presidential race doesn’t go to Donnie Trump or Ted Cruz. Rather, that honor goes to the clueless cognoscenti of conventional political wisdom. They’ve made a unilateral decision that Bernie Sanders must now quit the race for the Democratic nomination. Why? Because, they say: “He can’t win.” Actually, he already has. Sanders’ vivid populist vision, unabashed ideJIM alism, and big ideas for HIGHTOWER restoring America to its own people have 1) jerked the presidential debate out of the hands of status quo corporatists, 2) revitalized the class consciousness and relevance of the Democratic Party, 3) energized millions of young people to get involved, and 4) proved that Democrats don’t have to sell out to big corporate donors to run for office. Bernie has substantively—even profoundly—changed American politics for the better, which is why he’s gaining more and more support and keeps winning delegates. From the start, he said: “This campaign is not about me”—it’s a chance

for voters who’ve been disregarded and discarded to forge a new political revolution that will continue to grow beyond this election and create a true people’s government. The keepers of the Established Order fear that, and they know that this year’s nomination is still very much up for grabs, so they’re stupidly trying to shove Sanders out before other states vote. But Bernie and the mass movement he’s fostering aren’t about to quit—they’ll organize in every primary still to come, be a major force at the Democratic convention, and keep pushing their ideals and policies in the general election … and beyond. That’s what real politics should be—not merely a vacuous campaign to elect a personality, but a momentous democratic movement fighting for the common good.

Bartender Wisdom Of soil and life

t the pub the other day I had a chance to catch up with Todd Barnell. For those who have been reading this column for some time, you’ll know that Todd is my favorite public scholar; a Flagstaff intellectual who toils incessantly with all sorts of aspects of Celtic history and culture. He shares no particular association with the academy. Rather, I work for him as a workshop lecturer in the summers at the annual Northern Arizona Celtic Festival. Todd runs the educational programs. Under the tents that mostly keep out the summer’s monsoon downpours, on white folding chairs, on the grassy fields, he hosts several dozen programs that cover histories, Celtic symbols, music, James weaving, maze making and Jay slices of Celtic life. He mentioned that this year he would concentrate the overall programming around a theme: the natural world. In the past I’d presented discussions on Irish poets: W.B. Yeats, Eavon Boland, Patrick Kavanagh, Dennis Greig. In those lectures I’d looked at the poets and poems they produced. If the natural world, as it were, walked into the poems it was occasional. Still, when presented with a new path to the waterfall (as the kids say) by Todd, I figured I should give it a shot. After all, in Flagstaff, in this eclectic and odd little mountain town, we work in, work with, play in, play with, the natural world all of the time. People in this town are outdoors year round. Two feet of snow in 24 hours doesn’t deter folks from going out. In fact, I think it encourages them. In the summer, when the monsoon strikes and floods the gutters of downtown in minutes, I see folks dashing about in the downpour laughing and hooting it up. Throughout the year, lumberjacks, firefighters, surveyors come into the pub after working in the woods— always a bit sunburned and happy. We live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet and we know it. So what Irish poet to choose for this mountain town where we work and play in the woods in the rocks in the mud of it all? The next morning I went for a walk along the Rio de Flag to sort out some answers. I walked past two men sleeping it off by a small bridge, a host of birds—finches

Various Events | Thu 4.28 mostly—filled my ears with sounds. The backs of fences in various states of falling down lined the way. Joggers trotted by. A bicyclist or two zipped past. A handful of people walked their dogs, tails wagging away. All around me the natural world and the world of humans were inseparable, woven heavily in our day-to-day comings and goings. Back at home, my fingers went right for the spot on the bookshelf where Seamus Heaney’s books reside. One of the most important poets of the second half of the 20th century, Heaney was born in County Derry, a Catholic in Protestant-run Northern Ireland. As a young adult he moved from the countryside to the urban and war-ravaged Belfast to study at Queen’s University. Heaney would write that until he made this move, he didn’t think of his more rural life back home as the subject of poetry and great literature. But with the contrast of Belfast and the experience at the university there, he said: “I learned that my local County Derry experience, which I had considered archaic and irrelevant to ‘the modern world’ was to be trusted. They taught me that trust and helped me to articulate it.” His first book, Death of a Naturalist, was published in 1966. Poems such as “Digging,” “Churning Day,” and “Blackberry-Picking” depict the ways in which the people of Ireland work with the natural landscapes. A recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, throughout his long career Heaney wrote about the Irish natural world, those living within it, and the complexities of that relationship. In Flagstaff, we daily move from our human world to the natural world. The more we do this, of course, the more we realize that this division really isn’t there at all. There are merely temporary boundaries, definitions, semantics, and fragile ideas that vanish on a hike up Mars Hills. Before summer, I’ll still have some notes to dash out, but it looks like this lecture might be best composed at a walking pace while wearing boots. We’ll see how it goes. Slainte. For more than 20 years, James Jay has worked in the bar business from dishwasher, bouncer, bartender, bar manager to pub owner. He is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry and his poems have been selected for the New Poets of the American West anthology.

Flag Live gives me purpose...

t the beginning of the month, we launched the 26th call for entries for our monthly Flag Live writing contest, The Write Now. The good words continued to pour in, and not just from local wordsmiths. As always, the contest was blind-judged by Flagstaff author Mary Sojourner, who also gave us this prompt for writers to follow: “We pulled into the overlook and climbed out of the car/truck. My friend pointed down into the valley below. ‘What the hell is that?’” This month’s selection comes in from first-time winner Mike Goldberg, who shot

We pulled into the overlook and climbed out of the car. My friend pointed down into the valley below. “What the hell is that?” I had promised Jer a rushing river complete with vast overlooks and rock-carved diving boards. In fact, it was that very promise that convinced my childhood friend to take the 11-hour car ride from Tucson in the first place. But as we both stared down into the parched and desolate valley, our vision of a flowing oasis suddenly dried up. “We drove a million miles for this?” Jer inserted. “First of all, you didn’t drive a million miles. I did. You slept most of the way!”

us this short piece after picking up a copy of the Live at Macy’s during a recent road trip that started in San Francisco. Of the winning entry Sojourner writes: “I love this image: rock-carved diving boards. Made me want to go to Firefly Gulch. The name set up another flood of imagining. And the dialogue was absolutely real.” For newcomers to The Write Now, we’ll have our next prompt next week (the first issue of every month). Submissions should be received no later 5 p.m. on May 20 for our next round. Keep the good words coming. And good luck!

I became defensive. In reality, I was just as disappointed. Firefly Gulch was supposed to be my release. A well-deserved escape from work, Caitlin, and all the s*** that comes with being rejected from nine different med schools. It didn’t seem quite fair. I had been waiting months for this, saved up just enough PTO to make the cross-country trip. I suddenly regretted convincing my companion to come along. “Well, where to now, Mike?” I took a deep and desperate breath. “Your turn to pick, Jer.” – Submitted by Mike Goldberg Our Round 26 The Write Now Winner

May sweet, sweet Carol never learn of the time Prince took me for a ride on his motorcycle along the country roads of Minnesota, with the wind whipping our hair and the rufles of our frilly shirts. When we stopped, he said I must purify myself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. I did the classic full monty Uncle Larry cannonball. Of course, only after the splash receded did Prince tell me that it There has been wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, in fact, Lake Minnetonka. so much news about that Prince fellow passing away last week. I get that he was a talented man, but he seemed a little perverse to me. Not my cup of tea at all.
