Honestly, I’m still not certain why I did it. But I’m glad I did. Especially today. During my brief stint as the editor of Houseboat Magazine in 2001, I found myself in northern Georgia, doing a story on a group of houseboaters who would regularly motor to a secluded cove on Allatoona Lake, tie their boats together and then fire up a huge karaoke machine on the top deck of one boat. It was a fun day and a fun story to write and photograph. However, I didn’t exactly leave a great last impression by finally surrendering to peer pressure and getting up to sing a song myself.
And it wasn’t just due to my lack of singing ability. It was my song selection. Giving the opportunity to choose from hundreds of songs, I passed on singing something from the extensive classic rock catalog and requested that the karaoke boat owner put on “When the Doves Cry.” “Are you sure?” he asked. “Yeah,” I weakly clarified. “I think so.” So, in front of about six dozen intoxicated Southern rednecks — who had been belting out Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers tunes for several hours — I chose a classic Prince song that includes the lyrics: Touch if you will my stomach/ Feel how it trembles inside. Needless to say, my performance was not the highlight of the day for those folks at Allatonna Lake. But I certainly had a good time, and I was more than com-
fortable singing one of the songs from “Purple Rain” that used to play practically non-stop as my young journalism friends and I put together our high school newspaper on late deadline nights. So yeah, I was one of those people that was stunned and saddened to hear about the passing of His Royal Badness on Thursday, literally just minutes before I was going to start writing this column. Back in the ’80s, “1999” and “Purple Rain” was about as good as pop music got, and while Prince was certainly eccentric, the man was an unbelievable musician. There’s little doubt that pound for pound, the 5-foot-2 Minnesota native was one of rock’s biggest stars ever. And today, all that “Purple Rain” has turned black. — Jeff Hunter

“Dogfight,” a musical with music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, takes stage at the Caine Lyric Theatre in Logan April 19-22 at 7:30 p.m. and April 23 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. The musical is based on the 1991 movie of the same title. It is presented by Utah State Theatre, the production program in USU’s Department of Theatre Arts. The musical follows a group of Marines in the 1960s who stage a “dogfight,” a competition on their
last night stateside to see who can find the ugliest date the night before they go to war, which also happens to be the eve of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. One of the soldiers, Corporal Eddie Birdlace, meets a girl named Rose who he sets his sights on for a date to the dogfight. It backfires, as Rose breaks through Eddie’s tough exterior and causes him to rethink his stance on the competition. “The play has themes of forgive-

ness and camaraderie,” director Jason Spelbring said. “People often vilify the Marines without looking at the whole picture and realizing that we’re taking men who are trained for war and placing them in an urban setting. It’s their last night stateside before they ship out to Vietnam.” Spelbring calls Rose the moral compass of the play. See LYRIC on Page 11
USU to present ‘Earth Songs’ choral concert Multiple choirs from Utah State University’s choral music program present the spring concert “Earth Songs,” an evening of choral music from around the globe. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 22, in the Caine Performance Hall. Admission is $10 adults, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty/staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information, visit the CCA Box Office in room L101 of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu. “This concert will be alive with the sounds of great singing, intense percussion, lilting folk melodies and even bagpipes,” said Cory Evans, director of the choral program and professor in the Caine College of the Arts. The concert features the USU Chamber Singers, USU Chorale and USU Women’s Choir directed by Evans and Luke Shepherd, respectively. The University Chorale will perform “Gloria” from “Missa Criolla,” a set of songs from the British Isles, and a sultry setting of Loreena McKennit’s “Tango to Evora.” The USU Chamber Singers will perform an arrangement of “He Lives In You” from Broadway’s “The Lion King,” as well as rarely heard pieces from early America. The Women’s Choir will feature music of Karl Jenkins and Sergei Rachmaninoff. “It will be an eclectic evening of great choral music,” Evans said. “Don’t miss it.”
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 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 long-standing 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.”

Linton at Why Sound
Earth Day is Friday, April 22, and Robert Linton is inviting fans to a special CD release and benefit party that will help Stokes Nature Center sustain and grow its preschool program. The event will begin at 7 p.m. at Why Sound at 30 Federal Ave. Joining Linton that evening will be local artists Lyndi Perry and Curtis Wardle. The Stokes Nature Center Nature Preschool is growing, and offers a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel free to explore the natural world around them. This kind of environment has proven health and educational benefits, setting children up with the skills they need to be lifelong learners and nature explorers. Linton, a local Utah artist who is well known for his relaxing, nature-themed guitar compositions, will be celebrating the Nature Preschool by donating a portion of the door money and album sales for the evening. His new album, “Beyond the Clearing,” invites listeners to experience a moment in nature through music, connecting the imagery and tension of a gathering storm with the calm peace of the sky as it clears. Guest artists are prominently featured on the album, contributing such unique instrumentation as flugelhorn and EBow guitar, among many others. For this special benefit show, Linton will be creating visual representations of his songs to be presented as he plays his compositions live, engaging the audience’s senses and facilitating an interactive experience.

eo Tolstoy penned an essay in 1904, exploring the definition of art. In it, he said art is not pleasure, nor an expression of man’s emotions — not even the creation of beautiful objects. “It is a means of union among men ... and indispensable for the life and progress toward well-being of individuals and of humanity,” Tolstoy wrote in “What is Art?” A U.S. Army soldier and combat veteran, 28-year-old Bryce Anderson of Preston agrees that photography has has become a vital part of his own wellbeing in the aftermath of war and chaos. Anderson said he enlisted “later in life” at the ripe old age of 22. Serving his country was always something he had always wanted to do, but he put it off for a while. He described basic training at Fort Benning in Georgia, and Army life as a

people that I know and I didn’t know who was alive and who was dead — and that kid, a young life.” Even now, Anderson relives that day over and over, particularly the thunderous sound of the Air Force flying low over the compound the next day in a show of force. Those memories come with anxiety and depression, and nightmares when he doesn’t take his medication. But photography gives him an escape — somewhere else to go in his mind and something else to focus his attention on. Some of his photos include a glimpses of his time in Europe, but most of it his art features rural Cache Valley and other landmarks nearby, including Logan Canyon. He has an eye for composition, capturing both the beauty and naturally occurring art in the environment around him.
Most of his photography is just an exercise in getting away from the world and capturing what he sees around him, but some of his photos have special meaning to him, as well. One of his earliest photos features an angel crafted into the bridge outside the Berlin Cathedral. While Berlin quickly became his favorite place, this photo to him is one of the first pieces to be a work of art, not merely a snapshot in time. However, the one photo that has the most meaning to him is a simple blackand-white photo of five solitary pine trees backed by Cache Valley farmland. In one photo, he depicts the solidarity of some of the key people in his life: his mom, who was the center of his life before her death; his maternal grandparents, who never spent more than an hour apart and passed away within five days of one another; his paternal
grandfather, who was his inspiration to join the Army and was a great source of support to him; and Staff Sgt. Jesse Williams, who was killed in a helicopter crash in December 2013. Anderson said he only met Williams a couple times at social gatherings in Germany so he didn’t know him well, but he admired the man’s devotion to his family. “He left a family back home — he was just a normal guy and he made the ultimate sacrifice,” Anderson said. After his tour of duty in Afghanistan, Anderson chose to continue his service in the U.S. Army Reserve. He is presently a student at Utah State University where he is studying journalism, inspired by the photojournalists he encountered during his deployment.

‘Jungle Book’ opens big ‘Dancing’ tops the New Disney film brings in $103.6 million Nielsen TV ratings
NEW YORK (AP) — The Walt Disney Co.’s “The Jungle Book” opened with $103.6 million in North America, making it one of the biggest April debuts ever at the box office and continuing the studio’s streak of unearthing live-action riches buried in its animated classics. Jon Favreau’s update of Disney’s 1967 animated version of Rudyard Kipling’s book tells the tale of Mowgli with computergenerated imagery and bigscreen bombast. A sizable 42 percent of the film’s domestic sales came from 3-D and premium-format screens. “The Jungle Book” is just the latest of Disney’s string of live-action remakes of classic cartoons (“Cinder-
ella,” ‘’Alice in Wonderland,” ‘’Maleficent”), most of which have fared well at the box office. More plundering of the Disney library is in the works: “Cruella De Ville” and “Peter Pan” are in development; “Beauty and the Beast” is scheduled for next March. “There’s some consistency that’s happened here in the last few years as we’ve really made this a priority and a strategy from a company perspective,” said Disney distribution head Dave Hollis, who credited production president Sean Bailey with overseeing the live-action adaptations. “He’s been able to do it in a way that really makes them contemporary and, certainly in this case, fully utilizes available technology.
“We’ve got a lot more of these stories to tell.” “The Jungle Book,” made for about $175 million, was propelled by glowing reviews from critics. It ranks as the second biggest April opening ever, behind only “Furious 7’s” $147.2 million debut. Opening in second place was Ice Cube’s “Barbershop: The Next Cut” with $20.2 million. The Kevin Costner action thriller “Criminal,” however, opened with a mere $5.9 million for Lionsgate. It cost around $30 million to make. The Melissa McCarthy comedy “The Boss,” the number 1 film last weekend, dropped steeply. It slid 57 percent with $10.2 million in its second week.
NEW YORK (AP) — A night of Disney tunes led ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” to the largest audience of its current season and to the top of the television rankings. The Nielsen company said an estimated 12.5 million people watched “Dancing,” which featured the contestants showing their steps to songs made famous by ABC’s parent company. Light fare dominated the top of Nielsen’s charts, with NBC’s “The Voice” and “Little Big Shots” also scoring well. Some of CBS’ most popular series — “NCIS,” ‘’The Big Bang Theory” and “NCIS: New Orleans” — showed repeat episodes, shuffling the rankings. Still, CBS’ bench strength enabled it to win the week, averaging 7.5 million viewers in prime time. NBC had 5.7 million and ABC had 5.4 million, while winning

the fraught relationship between Freya and Ravenna. Usually, we’re used to a conflict existing between good and evil and the narrative playing out until good finally triumphs. Yet, Ravenna and Freya are both villains, and their conflict is at the core. Their interactions drive the story. The storyline of Eric and Sara is satisfying, but the bubbling cauldron of torment that exists between Freya and Ravenna is where the meat is at. “Winter’s War” is “Lord of the Rings”lite. A group of characters must destroy the most evil thing in the land — in this case the mirror — before it falls into the wrong hands. They traverse a world where magic rules and goblins exist. While it doesn’t reach the heights of “Lord of the Rings,” it’s nevertheless quite a satisfying ride.

The curious marketing of “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” pushes this story as what happened before the story of Snow White. This is true and untrue, simultaneously. Surprisingly “Winter’s War” offers up a prologue as a prequel of sorts, and then continues on where “Snow White and the Huntsman” left of as a sequel of sorts. I say, “of sorts,” because the character of Snow White has been almost completely written out of the story. She’s an afterthought, which remarkably, doesn’t affect the narrative much at all. “Winter’s War” sticks to the foundational darker interpretation of the Snow White fairy tale. A foundation that buoyed “Snow White and the Huntsman.” The challenge with going dark is not to appear too desperate. The Grimmstyle fairy tale structure worked then, and it still works — for the most part — here. Setting the expectedly gritty tone, Liam Neeson offers a fairly heavy-handed narration that, frankly, isn’t necessary. The story is simple. We don’t need a narrator pointing out the obvious. That’s exactly what this narration does. Snow White’s character has been cast aside

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 27, in the Morgan Theatre at the Chase Fine Arts Center. “‘Scheherazade’ is an exquisite, highly evocative score,” said Sergio Bernal, music director of the USU Symphony Orchestra. “Rimsky-Korsakov based the music of his symphonic suite on the Arabian Nights sto-
ries, with the orchestra depicting moods and representing characters from the tales.” Amanda Marshall, the USU Symphony Orchestra concertmaster, will perform a violin solo that embodies Scheherazade, the storyteller in the “Arabian Nights.” “Like the violin solos, many other of the orchestral parts [in Scheherazade] are very colorful and they bring interesting challenges to the players in the orchestra,” said Bernal. “I am very proud and impressed by how well

Boland and Berenstein [characters in the show] are one perspective, while Rose is the other, and Birdlace begins to fall in the middle of the spectrum.” There are two numbers in the musical where the characters

In the walking scenes, the six panels slide back and forth to create the illusion of movement.” “Dogfight” is the movie equivalent of an R rating. Due to adult content, children under the age of 12 will not be admitted. “We are producing the play that was written,” Spelbring said. “We are not adjusting it for our audiences. It is real, it is raw and it is also extremely touching and moving.” A six-piece live orchestra

Los Angeles community icon TAIKOPROJECT is fueled by the high-octane enthusiasm of its young, emerging Taiko drummers, who founded the company in 2000. They were seeking to create a truly American style of Taiko, blending the traditional forms in which they were raised, with an innovative and fresh approach to the Japanese drum. The result is an explosive performance that “ain’t your mama’s taiko, but
