FROM THE EDITOR I received the invite a little late, so I wasn’t able to make the 114th anniversary meeting of the A.C. Woman’s Club last Monday at the David B. Haight Alumni Center. But longtime member Brenda Anthony assured me that the gathering was an enjoyable one one for current members and their spouses. According to Anthony, the A.C. Woman’s Club is the secondoldest woman’s club in the state. Formed in 1902, it was organized with the purpose
“to promote sociability among its members and to maintain an interest in civic, economic, and literary subjects. “ The A.C. Woman’s Club — the A.C. stands for Agricultural College, formerly the name of Utah State University — was originally comprised of the wives of faculty members. “The group of 28 women originally met each Monday and were often transported from their homes to meetings by horse and buggy,” Anthony said. “In the early years, the club met frequently at the Bluebird. In the past decade the USU alumni house has become a favorite location for the group to meet.” About 25 years ago, the club was
opened up to members of the community, as well, and started meeting on a monthly basis for lunch and a program that usually features a guest speaker. Program subjects are varied, and range from the arts to civic groups. In addition to their interest in art, civic, economic and literary subjects, the club donates to local groups each year. “We feel that members of today share with the members of yesteryear in our desire to study, to learn, to improve ourselves and our communities,” Anthony explained. “We also share the value of friendships which become precious to us, enriching our lives.” — Jeff Hunter

Induction show almost always ends up being complicated NEW YORK (AP) — All you need is love. Love’s often in short supply at the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, however. For all the good vibes of a career’s crowning achievement, the event can be a display case for longrunning feuds, petty jealousies and business disputes. Paul Simon once jokingly suggested the hall create a special wing for musical acts that didn’t get along. This year’s ceremony, taking place Friday in Brooklyn, has a bumper crop of squabbling inductees. Current members of Deep Purple have refused to perform with Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist who wrote the signature riff to “Smoke on the Water” and probably the most identifiable person who passed through the band. He left in 1993. So Blackmore told the hall he won’t show up this week. A reunion was in the works for Chicago and its former lead singer, Peter Cetera. But something went awry, and Cetera announced that he’d be staying away, too. Things didn’t look good for Cheap Trick, whose longtime drummer Bun E. Carlos hasn’t played for them in six years. He explained to Rolling Stone last year that “me and the singer don’t get along.” After legal wrangling,

Members of Cheap Trick, from left, Robin Zander, Daxx Nielsen, Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson pose for a portrait in New York. The band will perform with former drummer Bun E. Carlos at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Friday.
Carlos is still considered a member for business purposes, but guitarist Rick Nielsen’s son Daxx now plays drums. Yet, Carlos is expected to appear Friday and perform with Cheap Trick again for one more night. Maybe love will prevail after all. CAN’T BUY ME LOVE The Beatles actually set a sour tone early. George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, appeared for the act’s induction in 1988, but Paul McCartney stayed away. McCartney cited business differences between band members and said he would “feel like a complete hypocrite waving and smiling ... at a fake reunion.”
That was a bummer, Beach Boys singer Mike Love said that same night in a memorably cranky speech where he took shots at nearly everyone in sight. At one point, he said Mick Jagger was afraid to have the Rolling Stones perform on the same bill with the Beach Boys. “I’d like to thank Mike Love for not mentioning me,” Bob Dylan deadpanned when he spoke later that night. McCartney was all smiles when inducted as a solo artist in 1999, five years after Lennon, but his designer daughter Stella didn’t hide her feelings that the honor was overdue. Printed on the shirt she wore that night was the message: “About F---ing Time.”
AWKWARD! The hall and inductees have months to prepare and smooth over unpleasantness for the ceremony. That’s not always enough to avoid awkward moments. Creedence Clearwater Revival members Doug Clifford and Stu Cook were left uncomfortably standing to the side in 1993 when leader John Fogerty stepped to the stage to play Creedence songs with Bruce Springsteen and Robbie Robertson. Fogerty had bitterly split with the other two and his late brother Tom over business issues. When Blondie re-formed in 1999, they left out members Frank Infante and Nigel See ROCK on Page 15

Director/composer Jay Richards
The American Festival Chorus and Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Craig Jessop, will present “An Evening with Jay Richards,” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. The concert will showcase the music of Cache Valley’s own Jay Richards, and features guest artist tenor George Dyer. Well known in the Utah music and theater community, Richards’ artistic reach extends far beyond the mountains of northern Utah.
He has composed for studio, film, television, radio, musical theater, dance, and the concert stage, as well as for countless commercial album releases. His orchestral works and two of his musicals, “Jane Eyre” and “Little Women,” have been performed internationally. Richards also teaches music composition at BYU-Idaho. “I am very excited about this opportunity to pay tribute to one of Cache Valley’s great talents,” Jessop
USU presents ‘New World’ Opera hits stage this weekend Utah State University students participating in USU Opera Theatre will perform Jason Robert Brown’s “Songs for a New World” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 8, and at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 9, in the Morgan Theatre at the Chase Fine Arts Center. In the musical piece, Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue through a starling array of characters ranging from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams and a soulless
said. “It will be a sheer delight for the audience to hear Jay’s music in a concert setting, and scored for full orchestra and a large choir.” “An Evening with Jay Richards” will feature a varied repertoire of Richards’ works, including sacred music arrangements, popular tunes from his musicals, and new compositions, including the premiere of two songs from his new musical See AFCO on Page 11

marriage. “‘Songs for a New World’ is considered a song cycle,” said Stefan Espinosa, the production’s director. “It’s a sequence of individual songs that are connected thematically, somewhat akin to a musi-
cal revue, except without sketches. In the case of ‘Songs for a New World,’ we have a series of 17 songs all written by one of the most prolific composers of the late 20th century and all dealing with people standing at crossroads in
their lives.” In the opening prologue of the show Brown doesn’t introduce characters or plotlines but rather prepares the audience for the ideas of the show; the moments See USU on Page 7
The Young Artist Cup Committee, in association with Mountain Crest High School’s performing arts department, will present the 17th annual Young Artist Cup Competition at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7, and Friday, April 8, at the MCHS Auditorium in Hyrum. Admission to this event is free and everyone is invited to attend. Refreshments will be served each night. The vocal and string competition is scheduled for Thursday evening, while the piano and winds/percussion competition is Friday. This annual event showcases the musical talents of Mountain Crest High School students. Competitors vie for cash prizes (which substantially increased this year due to many generous donors) and trophies in six areas: graphic arts design, female and male vocalist, strings, winds/percussion and piano. Awards will be given to first-, secondand third-place winners in each category. The logo for this year’s Young Artist Cup was selected from submissions by students in a competition earlier in the year. The design of Ivy Rich was chosen to represent the 2016 Young Artist Cup. Past Cup participants have gone on to excel in music and the performing arts.
Cache Community Connections is sponsoring a special family celebration of the various cultures which reside here in Cache Valley. “It’s a Small World, After All” will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, April 8, at the Logan Tabernacle. Various youth throughout the valley, as well as members of Utah State University cultural clubs will be participating. The event is free of charge and open to all ages. Refreshments will be served after the program at St. John’s Episcopal Church, directly north of Tabernacle Square. The celebration will feature several students from Ellis Elementary
School singing the theme song “It’s a Small World, After All” in two different languages. Also featured will be some Polynesian boys from Ellis performing the Haka dance, as well as Polynesian students from USU teaching willing volunteers from the audience the Hukilau. Native American children from a local group called “Bitter Water Dancers” will be performing a traditional Native American dance as well as singing, “Go My Son.” Two students from USU will be singing songs representing their countries of Africa and China, and a Scottish bagpiper will play his bagpipes for
his daughter and her students as they perform two Scottish dances while we learn more about our friends from the British Isles. Children and students of Shobna Garb will share dances from India, and the United State will be represented by a well-known local Western yodeler, an amazing middle schooler performing a jump rope routine and dancers from Enlight Ballroom. The program will end with a special Israeli dance holding spiritual significance to the Jewish nation. The program will be intertwined with narration and video to enhance the entire cultural experience.

‘Batman v Superman’ earnings fall to earth LOS ANGELES (AP) — Word of mouth might be kryptonite for “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” which fell a steep 68 percent in its second weekend in theaters according to comScore estimates Sunday. The superhero pic earned an estimated $52.4 million over the weekend, easily besting the modest new openers like “God’s Not Dead 2” and “Meet the Blacks.” The Zack Snyder movie cost a reported $250 million to produce and around $150 million to market, and
has earned an estimated $261.5 million to date. It’s a critical launching point for a series of interconnected movies in the DC Comics Universe from Warner Bros. that will include this year’s “Suicide Squad” and next year’s “Wonder Woman” and two “Justice League” movies, which is why its early performance — and hold — are being so intensely scrutinized. Superhero movies tend to be frontloaded with fans, and a near 60 percent fall is not uncommon for major block-
busters in weekend two. “Sometimes the bigger they are the harder they fall,” said Paul Dergarabedian, comScore’s senior media analyst. “This is often what happens when you have films that rank in the top 10 debuts of all time.” Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” for instance, fell 64.6 percent in its second weekend, and even “The Dark Knight Rises” dropped a hefty 61.4 percent. Things aren’t terribly different in

“Batman v Superman” brought in $52.4 million last week, down 68 percent from its first week.
Perry owns hits on OWN Extremely prolific director/producer has four shows on Winfrey’s network NEW YORK (AP) — When Tyler Perry began creating shows for the then-struggling OWN Network four years ago, he’d send the scripts he’d written to Oprah Winfrey for approval — and she’d wince. “I would say, ‘I think that’s too much! It’s over the top! Oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening!’” Winfrey recounts about Perry’s first OWN show, “The Haves and Have Nots,” a primetime drama fueled by connivers, sex and blackmail, now in its fourth season. Others might have acquiesced to Winfrey. But not Perry. “He would say to me, ‘I know this audience better than you do, I know what the audience wants,’” she said. “And he’d say, ‘I’m telling you it’s gonna work.’ And every time he’s been right.” Knowing the audience and what they want has been the key to Perry’s success, going back to when he was putting on plays in the chitlin circuit with a loudmouth, irascible gun-toting character that would become known as Madea. Perry describes his fans as the people working in service See PERRY on Page 13

‘Dead’ cliffhanger scores big ratings NEW YORK (AP) — A cliffhanger ending to its sixth season fascinated more than 14 million viewers of “The Walking Dead,” although AMC’s blockbuster hit continued to show some signs of erosion. During the final episode on Sunday, new villain Negan killed someone with a barbed wire bat he named Lucille. Viewers will have to wait until next season to find out who he killed, however. It was down from the 15.8 million who watched the fifth season finale on the night it aired, and didn’t approach the 17.3 million who watched the first episode of the fifth season in October 2014 — the show’s high point. It’s not unusual for hit shows to begin to fade after they have been on the air for a couple of years. A more complete barometer of the show’s performance will come in a few weeks, when the number of people who watched it via delayed viewing are counted in. In its first year on cable’s TBS on Monday night, an estimated 17.8 million people watched Villanova’s last-second victory over North Carolina for the NCAA men’s basketball championship. That’s sharply down from the 28.3 million people who saw last year’s Duke-Wisconsin game on CBS, the Nielsen company said. It shows that broadcast TV still has an advantage over cable networks although, to be fair, last year’s game was the most-watched NCAA final since 1997. CBS won the week in prime time, averaging 7.9 million viewers. For the week of March 28-April 3, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 14.24 million; “The Walking Dead,” AMC, 14.19 million; “Empire,” Fox, 12.46 million; “Dancing With the Stars,” ABC, 11.95 million; “The Voice” (Monday), NBC, 11.36 million; “Little Big Shots,” NBC, 11.33 million; “Academy of Country Music Awards,” CBS, 11.2 million; “The Voice” (Tuesday), NBC, 11.1 million; “Blue Bloods,” CBS, 10.4 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 10.38 million.

and spends five months in a white-collar resort prison. When she gets out she seemingly becomes the first criminal CEO to lose everything that she owned. As we’ve learned from “The Big Short,” this is perhaps the most unbelievable part of the entire movie. After Darnell loses everything she moves in with her ex-manager Claire (Kristen Bell). The two actresses have a decent rapport. They have a handful of chuckleworthy scenes. The funniest happens to be when Darnell is trying to fix Claire’s bra before a date, but to go into details here would be inappropriate. That’s the problem

here, though. This is a comedy that fails to maintain any sort of funny flow. It stops and starts so often that it becomes infuriating after a while. Add to this mess Peter Dinklage as rival CEO Renault. What’s done to Dinklage here is criminal. He’s reduced to being a sniveling caricature of a villain. Someone so dumb and so obtuse he belongs in the “Zoolander” universe. Imagine if, like last year’s “Spy,” that “The Boss” actually played to its actors’ strengths instead of trying to shoehorn them into a shopworn plot. The possibilities are mind-boggling. Though the reality is this R-rated comedy never really understands itself. It bumbles along, occasionally touching on funny moments — an “Anchorman”-like fight near the middle of the movie provided some good laughs — but never finding a steady rhythm. It’s a shame too, because the talent is there.

All you really need to know about “The Boss” is that it’s less “Spy” and more “Tammy.” This isn’t surprising seeing that the man behind the camera is Ben Falcone, who also directed “Tammy.” That movie was a misfire. “The Boss” makes the same mistakes and ultimately winds up at the same result: unmemorable and only slightly funny. The biggest problem with “Tammy” — and now “The Boss” — is it would seem that Falcone is unable to harness Melissa McCarthy’s comedy. The timing is all off.

etty Watson may have had a bad knee last week, but that didn’t stop the 92-year-old from dancing last Friday night at the Whittier Community Center to decades-old popular songs with a dance partner. “I sure wouldn’t get out there alone,” Watson laughed. Watson’s dance partner, dance host Randy Vahsholtz, led the woman who has danced all her life to songs like “Why Baby, Why?” and “Black Velvet” as colored lights flashed through the dark dance hall. “Betty told me while we were dancing, ‘it’s good to have places like this because it gives older people a place to go,’” Vahsholtz said. “I’m not a dancer by any stretch but I try to help them have fun.” Last week’s event was all part of an annual event put on by the Dance Factory, founded by Roxanne Quick and Sylvia Mahoney. Lee and DeAnna Foster of Preston have been dancing for years, but this was their first time dancing at the

Whittier Community Center. “It’s exhilarating, especially if the music is fast,” DeAnna said. The inspiration for the dance — held on the first Friday of every month primarily for dancers aged 46 to 101 — came after several LDS wards canceled their adult dances. “I decided I needed to dance,” Quick said, noting the Dance Factory events have attracted people from Idaho and beyond Cache Valley even though it’s only held three events. “We needed one in Logan.” Mahoney said she and her husband were dancers at the LDS events for years. When he passed away, she started dancing again, going by herself and asking men sitting on the sidelines to join her. “Many times they will thank me for asking them,” Mahoney said. “I tell them, ‘Now you’ve gotten started, keep on dancing. Ask women to dance. It’s a little uncomfortable because sometimes you are turned down.’” The “keep dancing” mentality is something Mahoney

That’s why she has a handful of men like Vahsholtz ask women to dance. “This is one thing you won’t find at any other dance,” Mahoney said. “The women are raising their selfesteem and the men are glad they are helping women to dance. We need more helpers.” David Carlson Miller, was one of those dance hosts, dressed in a white tuxedo with coat tails. He said he tries to get the older people who come to be active. “They love to dance even though it can be a challenge,” Miller said. Quick said the dances are catering toward an older crowd, but they don’t turn anyone away; people as young as 25 years old have come. Quick wants people who come to “have a place to go and have a good time.” “Just the simple touch … it makes you feel good,” Quick said of dancing. “They feel good when someone asks them. They go home and say, ‘That was great.’ They have a great time.”

‘History’ exhibit now open in Brigham City Folks that lived by the rise and set of the sun built homes, shops, churches, and a railroad depot after they arrived 165 years ago in the Box Elder Creek area, known today as Brigham City. Fifty photographs that document the pioneers’ accomplishments through 1900 are presented in the exhibit “Building History II” which will be on displays from March 30 through June 8 at the Brigham City Museum of Art and History. Like the museum’s exhibit “Building History” in 2013, most of the photos were taken by an unknown photographer. The Brigham City Museum is located at 24 N. 300 West. Admission is free. The entrance is
on the west side. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday. For further information, please call (435) 226-1439, or visit brighamcitymuseum.org. Narratives communicated in the photos show a town prospering over the years. Successful ventures were a driving factor in Brigham City’s home-building rush of the 1890s coupled with the arrival of electricity and a pressurized city water system. Images of homes in the exhibit range from simple (and sometimes unfinished) log and adobe dwellings to brick, Mansard- and Victorian-style houses. Photos of shops that transformed the boney

nos; N.C. Mortensen & Sons, harvesting machinery, plows, buggies, and saddles; R.K. Wilson &
Sons, wines and liquors; and Booth & Peirce, general merchandise. Members of the com-
munity also invested time building churches of different faiths, notably the First Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, the Brigham City Presbyterian Church, and the John Wesley Hall Methodist Church. Also pictured in the exhibit is the city’s depot for the Ogden Short Line Railroad, which was replaced by the current depot. In the spring, Museum Director Kaia Landon challenged members of the Northern Utah Camera Club to locate and then photograph the current site of each historic image. Club President Barry Parsons of Wellsville coordinated the shoot. The photos are hung side-by-side in the gallery.

Cache Valley Center for the Arts is thrilled to present the national tour of the Broadway musical “Million Dollar Quartet” at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 26, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. The international Tony Award-winning musical is set on Dec. 4, 1956, when an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together. Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon, gathered the four legendary musicians at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The resulting evening became known as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in history. “Million Dollar Quartet” brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations featuring timeless hits including “Blue Suede

United Cache concert coming up on April 28 This April, the Cache Community Wind Symphony and three Cache Valley choirs are uniting to present a musical drama of the songs that have made up the fabric and heritage of America. The concert will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 28, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Admission is $5 per person or $25 per family. Attendance is limited to guests ages 6 and up. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Ellen Eccles Theatre box office or online at cachearts.org. “Our community has had a rich tradition of music and performing groups and the historical Ellen Eccles Theatre has been at the heart of it,” says Dan Stowell, director of the Cache Community Wind Symphony. “It’s only fitting that these groups come together to celebrate what has made our community and nation what it is today.” The Cache Community Wind Symphony, which is in its 40th year, will be joined by a 125-piece choir comprised of The Men’s Imperial Glee Club (celebrating it’s 100th year), The Towne Singers (in their 49th year), and Bel
Fall Continued from Page 6 the Marvel universe either. Disney’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” tumbled 59.4 percent and Fox’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past” plunged 64.2 percent. Also, the first week “Batman v Superman” haul included the $27.7 million from Thursday night preview showings, whereas the second weekend sum does not account for those. The Friday of Easter weekend is also a holiday for many, making a straight comparison not entirely equitable. Still, 68 percent is on the steeper side for a second week fall. Last year’s much derided “Fantastic Four” reboot fell 68.2 percent and the divisive “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” dropped 69 percent in 2009. In weekend one, many wondered whether the poor reviews would kill the film out of the gates, but it ended up earning $166 million regardless.
Canto Chorus (currently in its 80th year). “This type of community production is unprecedented,” comments Warren Barton, director of the Men’s Imperial Glee Club. “That’s 270 years of community music under a single roof. This is going to be a singular performance!” That sentiment is echoed by Gary Poore and Laurel Maughan, directors of The Town Singers and Bel Canto Chorus, respectively. “This concert celebrates a long and continuing legacy of musical performance in northern Utah,” adds Maughan. “What an exciting idea this is — to bring together our community’s longstanding musical organizations to celebrate our American heritage. And the musical total should be magnificent, with the Bel Canto Chorus, The Men’s Imperial Glee Club and The Towne Singers merging into one balanced choir singing in concert with the Cache Community Wind Symphony,” Poore says. “What a musical gift to Logan and all of northern Utah.”
“This has been a poster child in illustrating the disconnect between critics and audience,” Dergarabedian said. The second weekend, however, is where word of mouth starts to come into play, and on the fence audiences must decide whether or not it’s worth their time and money. But, the near future still looks promising for “Batman v Superman,” which has the skies to itself for the next week until Disney’s “The Jungle Book” opens on April 15. It’s still doing major business internationally too, with $85.1 million in earnings this weekend, bringing its global total to $687.9 million. The weekend overall is down significantly from last year, which saw the massive opening of “Furious 7.” Disney’s “Zootopia” held on to second place with a robust $20 million, bringing its domestic total to $275.9 million. “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” took third in its second week with $11.1 million.

example, he had never written a TV drama before “The Have and Have Nots,” and there was a steep learning curve. “The first time I do anything is the first time I’ve done it, period. ... So I needed an opportunity to learn. This is what I love about my audience, they always give me the grace to learn. ... Even when I was doing live stage shows, it was always about, ‘This is nice baby, but we gonna stay with you till you get it right,’” he says, in that Madea-like voice. He also points to his own growth as an actor: Where he once confined himself to the Madea character because he didn’t think he had the skills to do more, he shed the costume in his own films and in others; his portrayal of the slick lawyer in “Gone Girl” drew high praise, and he’s due to appear in the adaption of the bestselling novel “Brain on Fire” this year, along with “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.” Of course, to his many critics — and they are vocal, ranging from film critics to Hollywood types — he hasn’t gotten it right a lot. His slapstick comedies have been
lambasted as too basic, his dramas too melodramatic, his messaging too preachy, his writing too simplistic — the list goes on. But Perry, 47, pushes back against those who look down on his work, like Madea, who will return this fall in “Boo! A Madea Halloween,” which Perry calls his funniest work to date. “I’m not trying to write ‘Revenant.’ I’m not trying to do ‘Gone Girl,’” he says. “None of those things interest me. As an artist, this is what I like to paint. If you don’t like my paintings, then they’re not for you. But because you don’t like my paintings, for you to say this work is crap, it’s horrible, it’s awful — that’s ridiculous.” SUPPORT FROM WINFREY Winfrey likened Perry’s appeal to a church revival: “That’s exactly what’s happening when you go to those plays. It’s like sitting in church. ... How dare anyone say to the people who respond to that art and say that’s not art?” Winfrey is passionate in her defense of Perry, perhaps

Continued from Page 6 jobs, the women in the church pews, the family with a crazy relative like Madea who can laugh about it. And like Perry, who was abandoned by his father, grew up in poverty and survived sexual abuse, his audience is familiar with struggle. “He’s creating an empire based on what he knows, based on what he likes, and he’s doing it himself, and he’s coming from a very challenging background,” said Viola Davis, who starred in “Madea Goes to Jail.” ‘’But I think he has a vision that is much larger. And the thing I love about him, too, is that he’s targeting an audience that is underserved.” PERRY’S EMPIRE It’s those people who have helped his 15 self-produced films gross more than $740 million at the box office worldwide, build his own 200,000-square-foot Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta and boost OWN: He’s got four shows on the network — dramas “The Have and Have Nots” and “If Loving You Is Wrong,” and the comedies “Love Thy Neighbor” and “For Better or Worse,” which started a new season on OWN this month. “You get some laughter, you get some education, you get some therapy and you get some joy and some happiness, and at the end of it, you realize you’ve learned something,” said Perry in a recent interview when describing his vision. Perry has been OWN’s savior in many ways: The network was floundering when he first came to Winfrey and proposed producing shows (he also writes, casts and directs all of them). “The Have and the Have Nots” delivered record-setting ratings for OWN, with last season’s finale scoring more than 3.7 million viewers. He allows that he hasn’t always gotten it right. For
sit up on the Truman balcony and just have great conversation, there’s this moment of pinching myself constantly, like, ‘What is going on here?’” Perry may be perplexed, but he remains unfazed — he’s just onto the next project. That includes his Atlanta production studio, which he’s continuing to expand. He’s also been tapped by TLC to write, produce and direct the political drama “Too Close to Home,” which will be its first scripted series. And he was selected to host the live television adaptation of the story of Jesus of Nazareth’s final days, “The Passion,” which recently aired on Fox to mixed reviews and success. Chief on his list of priorities, though, is his 1-year-old son Aman. When he traveled last year with his play “Madea on the Run,” he made sure Aman was with him, with his mother, Perry’s statuesque girlfriend Geilila Bekele, in tow. “(He’s) softer, gentler, kinder, more introspective, funnier, laughs more, smiles more,” said Winfrey of Perry since becoming a father. While Perry will continue doing Madea movies as long as people want them, he has loftier ambitions. The producer of “Precious” and “For Colored Girls ...” would love to find new talent to mentor and produce, and has dreams of starting his own film festival to find the next generation of filmmakers. “I’m putting myself in a position over the next 24 months so I can focus more on seeing other talent, which is something that I’ve never done before,” he said. He could also see himself having his own network someday, with more shows that fit the Perry brand. “Somehow I’ve been given a seat at the table, and with that seat at the table comes tremendous responsibility to make sure that what I’m doing, I’m doing to the best of my ability,” he said later. “And it’s not for everyone, but the whole purpose is to make sure I continue the path I am on.”

not just because they’re close friends, but because she says she’s dealt with similar criticism, most pointedly from the black community. “There is no way to be a person of color who is accomplished and not have other people try to take you out, and most importantly, your own people,” she said. “Your own people will do it because we are not accustomed to that level of success, so when you see it, surpassing anything you ever imagined, what people do is they criticize it because they don’t understand it.” But what Winfrey and Perry see as a different kind of art, others see as perpetuating stereotypes — particularly Madea. Perry partly blames the dearth of opportunities for blacks in film when he came to prominence more than 10 years ago for the backlash he’s faced. “Black people think that because you are black, you have an obligation to only tell certain sides of our color and our culture. You are not allowed to tell all of who you are. You are not allowed to show to the ‘white folks’ all that we are as black people,” he said. “Well, I’m not a kid that grew up with parents who have Ph.D.s from Harvard. I’m not a man whose parents even went to college. I am a man who grew up looking at my uncle with his ashy knees, making jokes about all kinds of things that were inappropriate. I’m a man who grew up with people who weren’t politically correct.” These days, though, he keeps rarefied company. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are friends; he was one of author Maya Angelou’s dear friends; and actor Sidney Poitier has praised him. Said Perry, “It’s amazing to me to get a call from the White House saying, ‘Michelle and I are having dinner. Only a few people are coming. Can you come up and have dinner with us?’ And to

Rock Continued from Page 3 Harrison, who sued unsuccessfully to rejoin. They lost again during the band’s 2006 induction, when Infante pleaded onstage with singer Deborah Harry to perform one last time. “Debbie, are we allowed?” Infante said. Nope. Elvis Costello still performs with two-thirds of his longtime backing band, the Attractions. But not bass player Bruce Thomas, who didn’t help relations by penning a thinly disguised novel about an autocratic band leader. When handed his rock hall trophy in 2003, Thomas said, “thanks for the memories, that’s it,” then walked offstage

Three members of the classic Guns N’ Roses lineup appeared in 2012, but frontman Axl Rose skipped the event, saying it didn’t “appear to be somewhere I’m actually wanted or respected.” Eddie Van Halen entered rehab the week before his namesake band was inducted in 2007. His drummer brother Alex also stayed away, and vocalist David Lee Roth was a last-minute pullout because of a dispute over what song he’d perform. Diana Ross stayed away

from the Supremes’ 1988 induction, two years after Mary Wilson wrote unflattering things about her in a book. Levon Helm didn’t show up in 1994; he didn’t get along with Robbie Robertson. Roger Waters’ longstanding disputes with his former Pink Floyd members kept him away from their 1996 induction. Kiss members appeared, but refused to perform, in 2014 in a dispute over which members would go into the hall. It wasn’t bitterness that kept Jerry Garcia away when the Grateful Dead were inducted in 1994, a year before he died. He didn’t believe in the hall as an institution. His fellow members did, and brought along a cardboard cutout of Garcia. Leave it to the Sex Pistols to demur most colorfully. Surviving members posted a note comparing the hall to “urine
in wine” and saying they wouldn’t come because they were “not your monkeys.” BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS Paul Simon was already a rock hall member with Art Garfunkel when he was inducted as a solo artist in 2001. A nostalgic Simon took 10 minutes to read a list of his inspirations, from the first record he bought to “those two girls from Covington, Kentucky.” When it came to Garfunkel, Simon said, “I regret the ending of our friendship, and I hope that one day before we die we will make peace with each other.” With perfect comic timing, Simon waited for the audience’s warm applause to wash over him. “No rush,” he said. GOOD TIMES It doesn’t always have to be
bad times. The hall brought Robert Plant and Jimmy Page back onstage together, joined by Neil Young, for Led Zeppelin’s 1995 induction. The Police reformed for a spirited set in 2003, and later toured together again. The Talking Heads, who dissolved in bad feelings, played their first live gig in 18 years for their 2002 induction. “I’d like to thank the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for giving this band a happy ending,” drummer Chris Frantz said at the time. Cheap Trick looked past its problems to please its fans and plan the set with Bun E. Carlos, although current drummer Daxx Nielsen joked this week that he feels like a girlfriend on a night the ex-wife is coming out. “It’s the right thing to do,” said Daxx’s dad, Rick Nielsen.
