FROM THE EDITOR I was in Music City last week when it really dawned on me how much the music industry has changed and continues to change.

I served an LDS mission to Tennessee more than 20 years ago, and one of my areas was downtown Nashville. Within my jurisdiction, there was vaunted Music Row, where dozens of music companies and studios were located, as well as numerous little restaurants, clubs and bars where young, aspiring musicians used to play in the hopes of being discovered.

The bars and cafes are still there, and musicians still perform just about around the clock, even though the hope of success is now very dim. And Music Row still exists, although it definitely seems quieter

and less significant.

There’s simply not as much money to be made anymore. The Internet, iTunes, MP3s and pirated music have all but killed the incentive for the record companies that remain to encourage their artists to put out entire albums.

Strangely enough, as I was wandering around Tennessee last week, I actually wondered what happened to U2’s new album, which was supposed to come out in late spring or early summer.

Working in conjunction with Bank of America, the band broadcast a commercial during the Super Bowl in February that promised a free download of their new single, “Invisible” on iTunes. Those downloads raised more than $3 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, but the promised album never appeared.

While I like U2 and wouldn’t dispute the group’s non-official status as “The

Biggest Band in the World,” I clearly haven’t been trolling every website and blog in search of information about the new album.

Good thing, too, because it would have been a huge waste of time.

It turns out that U2 — much like David Bowie in 2013 — quietly dropped “Songs of Innocence” on the world Tuesday via iTunes. While that was certainly a surprise, even more stunning was the fact that U2 announced that the entire album (which actually doesn’t include “Invisible” among its 11 tracks) is available to download for free for all iTunes users through Oct. 13.

That means roughly a half-billion now have “Songs of Innocence” at their disposal, which just makes it even more obvious that, for better and worse, the music industry of 2014 is nothing like the music industry 1994.

ALL MIXED UP

Quotable

“American Avocets” by Richard Jolley

Logan Fine Art Gallery owner Gene Needham hopes to make the Salon d’Autome an annual event for years to come, bringing together great artists and

collectors.

“Our hope is to make Logan a destination art collectors can come to find their favorite artists while they take in the unique

beauty of the surrounding valley and mountains that inspire so many artists’ paintings,” says Logan Fine Art gallery director Julie LeFevre.

Logan Film Festival set for Sept. 25-27 Previously held in the spring, the Logan Film Festival will be making its fall debut Sept. 25-27.

The LFF is a celebration of independent films that focuses on artistic expression and alternative views instead of big Hollywood names and budgets.

The selected films were submitted from around the world, and out of the 43 films that will be screened, 7 of them were made locally in Cache Valley, 12 in Utah, 13 in the United States and 11 internationally. The films have various run times and are both narrative and documentary.

The festival team is especially

excited to be screening “20,000 Days on Earth.” The documentary feature was premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and received two awards for editing and directing.

In regards to the film, the Sundance jury said: “We award this film for being arguably the most exciting film in competition…. This is documentary storytelling at its most visionary and mindblowing.”

“20,000 Days on Earth” will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre at 43 S. Main St. The festival team is also pleased to be screening an AFI thesis film

that was directed by Cache Valley native Kevin Lacy. His film, “Young Americans,” has won seven awards at various film festivals and took second place at the College Emmy Awards in the drama category.

The LFF not only screens films, but has filmmaker panels, Q&As and an awards ceremony. The festival acts as a gathering of real-life independent film makers that travel in from around the country. It’s as educational and inspiring as it is entertaining.

Pet: Honcho From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: Honcho is a super sweet 2- to 3-year-old retriever mix, is our best guess.

Honcho is great with kids and other dogs. He is, however, a superduper fence jumper, so he will need to go to a home that is willing to put him on a tie-out that is out of hazard’s way. He also has some mild separation anxiety. Honcho’s adoption fee is $125, which includes the spay or neuter surgery and vaccinations (rabies and parvo/distemper).

If you would like to meet Honcho, please call and leave a message with Lisa (director of Four Paws Rescue) at 752-3534 or email us at scfourpaws@hotmail.com.

Kray Van Kirk to play Crumb Brothers

Alaskan singer/songwriter set to perform on Sept. 20 The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a concert with Alaskan singer-songwriter Kray Van Kirk at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 20, at Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread, 291 S. 300 West.

Tickets are $13 and are available via PayPal at bridgerfolk.org, by calling 757-3468 or you can take your chances at the door.

Seating is limited; advance purchase is recommended.

The concert is cosponsored by Import Auto.

Van Kirk is an Alaskan singer-songwriter, delivering strong, compelling performances that the Borderline Folk Club in New York called “...what every singer-songwriter should aspire to.” His

warm and intimate concerts on six- and 12-string guitar have received critical praise and enthusiastic receptions from the house concert circuit to festivals and larger stages.

His songs are rich tapestries of myth (“The Queen of Elfland” and “Three Days to England”), passionate echoes of the world (“A Chorus of Stones” and “Dust”) and a pure expression of the American singer-songwriter (“A Medicine for Melancholy” and “Walk With Me”).

At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where many shows receive only a handful of audience members due to the sheer volume of available performances, his room was sold out, leaving some

folks sitting on the stairs and a Fringe reviewer to write “the Alaskan singer-songwriter, in his

Edinburgh debut, was not the reason I arrived early, but certainly why I stayed late.”

Living without road access in Alaska might not seem the best way to be a touring musi-

cian, but that’s where he makes his home with his daughter, one cat and far too many books to fit into one room (along with the occasional bear sitting in the front seat of his car).

Van Kirk supports his touring through proceeds from live shows only, as he no longer sells CDs or charges money for his songs; all of them wait patiently on his website, ready to march their way across the world like little digital penguins, leaving no footprints in the snow.

The Steveston Folk Guild in British Columbia said, “Kray Van Kirk writes great songs, sings them masterfully and entertains tirelessly throughout his show. His guitar playing is second to none — I swear he has 10 fingers on each hand.”

‘Tale 2’ a warmly immersive adventure LOS ANGELES (AP) — Containing all the elements that made the 2011 original boy and his dolphin story a hit with audiences and critics, Charles Martin Smith’s “Dolphin Tale 2” is another engaging film inspired by the real-life inhabitants of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Bringing together the original cast, headed

by Harry Connick Jr., and, of course, Winter, the remarkable dolphin outfitted with a groundbreaking prosthetic tail who put the CMA on the map, the sequel again eschews cloying dramatics in favor of a straight-ahead, more docudrama feel.

The nonetheless rousing results should

make a splash with family audiences who were responsible for “Dolphin Tale’s” tidy $72.3 million domestic haul.

This time around, Smith also dons a screenwriter’s cap in recounting the subsequent rescue and rehabilitation of injured marine animals brought to the actual Florida Gulf Coast facility.

It has been several years since the film’s young Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble) first bonded with the dolphin who had lost her tail after becoming ensnared in a crab trap, but the death of Panama, an elderly dolphin who was both companion and surrogate mother to Winter, has left the younger dolphin despondent and uncooperative.

The clock is ticking for

AP Photo/Warner Bros. Pictures

Cozi Zuehlsdorff and Harry Connick Jr. share a scene in “Dolphin Tale 2.”

CMA’s Dr. Clay Haskett (Connick, Jr.) to abide by USDA regulations and find a female companion suitable for pairing with Winter or see the inspira-

tional creature moved to another aquatic facility.

Their best bet would seem to be Mandy, a recent rescue who had been found beached

and severely sunburned, but keeping her at the aquarium with Winter would mean not letting her go back to her natural habitat.

That would go against Haskett’s rescue/rehabilitate/release mission.

Hope ultimately arrives in the form of a dolphin calf stray (discovered, in real life, on the night of the first film’s wrap party), but there’s no guarantee the infant will bond with the tail-less Winter.

Even more so than last time out, Smith focuses a great deal of attention on the details — the day-to-day minutiae of the facility’s rescue and rehab work that elevate what could have otherwise been another wellintentioned but soggy fish-out-of-water yarn.

Those specifics are efficiently navigated by Connick, Jr., who blends See TALE on Page 13

Attempting to distance himself from any controversy, Bob focuses on the abused pup he just found and the stranger, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), who is unexpectedly helping him care for it.

‘Guardians’ continues to rule the box office

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Guardians of the Galaxy” continues to rule the box office universe.

The cosmic Marvel adventure arrived in first place at the box office for a fourth weekend with $10.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The domestic haul for “Guardians,” which features Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana as intergalactic do-gooders, now

stands at $294.6 million after six weeks of release.

“Guardians” furthered cemented itself as the top grossing film of the year in North America, eclipsing the $259.8 million earned by fellow Marvel movie “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” The sci-fi romp earned an additional $11.5 million internationally, bringing See RULE on Page 13

selves. Its weakest spot is Nadia, who despite a little detail exists mainly as a gift from God for Bob that Deeds will try to take away. There’s a way in which knowing so little about her is appropriate — Bob, who can serve people beer all night without confiding in anyone, can hardly get her phone number, much less grow intimate with her over these few nervous days. But it’s telling that Lehane’s between-the-lines work is much more suggestive when it comes to Weeks, a more peripheral character.

As for Bob, neither the screenplay nor the actor is eager to pin him down. He was part of “a crew” in his youth, we know; today, he cares enough about a stray dog to stand up to serious intimidation for its sake. Is he a dormant man of violence; a reformed softie; a loyal but socially awkward lonelyheart? He might be all three. But wondering how he’s going to handle the mess Marv is creating makes “The Drop” worthwhile.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The kind of solid, honest-feeling, mean-streets movie you might think they only make in Boston these days, Michael R. Roskam’s “The Drop” was, in fact, set there before filmmakers decided to shake things up by moving it to Brooklyn.

The anthology “Boston Noir” is the source of Dennis Lehane’s short story “Animal Rescue,” in which a tender-hearted man with a past gets into trouble after finding a pitbull puppy in a garbage can.

Brooklyn isn’t the star of the film, nor is Lehane’s excellent dialogue, and neither is Roskam, here making a surefooted jump to America after his Belgian debut “Bullhead.” The picture belongs to Tom Hardy, whose astonishingly sensitive performance even the great James Gandolfini steps gently around. As he helped do in “Warrior,” Hardy takes an already fine genre film and adds ballast, making you forget how many times you’ve heard the tale. The picture should play equally well at multiplexes and with

HOUSE to HOUSE Annual Cache Valley Historic Home Tour draws hundreds of curious visitors to Logan

S

everal hundred people walked the halls and gardens of six homes, admiring everything from furniture to doorknobs, at Saturday’s Cache Valley Historic Home Tour.

The yearly tour gives people a chance to get what many described as a longawaited opportunity to peek inside historic houses they’ve admired from a distance.

“I love historic homes,” Logan resident Amelia Christopherson said as she toured a home on Center Street. “Just the history behind them and everything they have.”

Christopherson said she would love to own such a home as the 1894 Victorian she was touring, but acknowledged they can be a lot to handle, especially the expense.

The tour started wherever attendees liked; it was mostly self-guided. Five of the six homes are owned by families, and the George W. Thatcher mansion at 169 E. Center St. is owned by the Anniversary Inn. A special display was set up at the Whittier Community Center, 290 N. 400 East, with Cache Valley historical artifacts, a quilt display and book display of the valley’s

past.

Owners were often onhand during the tour to answer questions about the houses’ histories and to discuss the renovation or modernization efforts they undertook when they bought the structures. Each home showed evidence of how the owners modified it in some way, yet they all showed an attempt at keeping the historic design integrity intact.

Bryan Spykerman, who owns the Victorian home at 470 W. Center St. with his

wife, Pam Riley, said they kept the front parlor decorated to match the period in which it was built. The front room features a 1905

upright piano Spykerman bought in South Dakota, a Turkish rug and furniture that matches the style of the Victorian era.

In the corner is a fireplace and hardwood mantle built with the house. When Spykerman and Riley moved into the house, the mantle was covered in layers of paint that they had stripped off, eventually using small tools to clean out the remaining bits from the woodcarvings.

As nice as the home is, a few changes needed to be made when the couple, who both taught at Utah State University, moved into the house in the late 1970s.

Since the walls are adobe, there is not much in the way of insulation.

“The first week I lived here, the water was freezing on the nightstand,” Spykerman said.

Spykerman installed insulation in the ceiling and wherever else he could, but the original half of the house is still quite cold in the winter. The back of the home was built in the 1980s with the help of an architect who was a member of the Cache Valley Historical Society, Riley explained See TOUR on Page 13

Brodie easily navigates Asian culture and understands it, having lived in Tokyo until he was about 17. Lancet sculpts Brodie as a man of action who also has a fine eye for art, which can be a thing of beauty and a political statement. He also is the devoted single father of his 6-year-old daughter, Jenny, and he juggles concern for her with the danger that can accompany his private detective investigations.

Lancet hit the ground running last year with his superb debut, “Japantown,” and continues that winning streak with “Tokyo Kill.”

PBS’ ‘Roosevelts’ portrays an epic trio talking heads (among them Doris Kearns Goodwin, George Will and Ward himself); sonorous narration (by Peter Coyote); the words of its major figures recited, in character, by notable actors (Meryl Streep voices Eleanor).

The stately Burns formula is as predictable as the tides, perhaps too much so by now. But its robust ritual serves the Roosevelts well.

By contrast, FDR, after a promising start in public service, was robbed of the ability to outrun his demons: He was stricken with polio at age 39 and then compelled to face and defy this affliction which he did with a public smile of confidence, as told in Part Four, perhaps the series’ most affecting episode.

the White House as the 32nd president; and TR’s niece, Eleanor Roosevelt, who wed FDR, and, even beyond the unique partnership they forged with marriage, lived a life of activism and moral leadership that extended nearly two decades after his death.

“The Roosevelts” thus spans a century, from TR’s birth in 1858 through Eleanor’s passing in 1962, at age 78.

Not only are these three lives intertwined but, as Burns’ rich portrayal demonstrates, they are inseparable from the history of the early 1900s, notably World War I, the Great Depression and

Spot Continued from Page 10 Ace Atkins, the veteran crime novelist selected to continue the Spenser series, has responded with three fine novels written in a style that closely resembles Parker’s.

But until now, Parker’s other characters have suffered under new authorship. Robert Knott’s two Hitch and Cole novels have not been well reviewed. And three Jesse Stone novels by Michael Brandman suffered from a weak writing style.

Now, the publisher has put Jesse Stone in good hands, replacing Brandman with Reed Farrel Coleman, a three-

time Edgar Award finalist.

Unlike Atkins, Coleman hasn’t attempted to mimic Parker. Instead, Coleman is continuing the Stone saga in his own crisp prose style. For one thing, Coleman says, he doubts that he could reproduce Parker’s distinctive voice. For another, Spenser is the late author’s most iconic character; Parker wrote only nine Stone novels. That, Coleman says, gives him the freedom to continue the series in his own style — and room to explore fresh aspects of the character.

Given the excellent prose and plotting of “Blind Spot,” Jesse Stone fans will be eager to discover where Coleman takes this compelling series next.

Echoing that unadorned, matter-of-fact approach is the crisp cinematography and graceful score by “Dolphin Tale” newcomers, Daryn Okada and Rachel Portman, respectively.

——— “Dolphin Tale 2,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some mild thematic elements.” Running time: 107 minutes.
