Ensuring Care

S.C. midwives push for increased collaboration with health centers despite state regulation BY HEATH ELLISON

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

Some South Carolina midwives believe their patients could be in danger, and they made it known at a small rally at the Statehouse as lawmakers reconvened in Columbia on Thurs. Jan. 16.

Lori Gibson, the S.C. chairwoman of the found that poor coordination of care has been Midwifery Advisory Council to the state associated with adverse maternal-newborn Department of Health and Environmental outcomes and suggests that integrating midControl (DHEC), says the group is asking for wives into regional health systems will yield equal access to hospitals and higher-level care positive results. for patients.

As it is written, it specifically states that they may not accept outborn babies.” Infant mortality rates in the U.S. have

dropped from 7.1 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2005 to 5.8 deaths in 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control. South Carolina had an infant mortality rate of 6.5 deaths per 1,000 in 2017, corresponding to 371 infant deaths before their first birthdays. The CDC found a racial disparity in infant mortalities in the same study. In 2016, black infants faced higher mortality rates, with 11.4 deaths per 1,000 live births. The rates at which Hispanic (5), white (4.9), and Asian (3.6) children died in infancy were less than half that rate.

Three Questions With Presidential Candidate …

P ete Buttigieg Until the S.C. Democratic Party primary on Sat. Feb. 29, we will publish candidate responses to three questions on issues facing local voters along with a brief analysis of each from two CofC professors. For more, visit charlestoncitypaper.com/threequestions 1. What would you do now and in the future to address climate change’s impact, particularly for poor and rural residents of coastal communities? We must rally our nation together to meet the climate crisis with the urgency it demands. This impacts not only our coasts, but also farmers, small businesses, and homes across South Carolina. My administration will work toward a net-zero emissions society by 2050. We will enact a price on carbon and use the revenue to send rebates directly to Americans. We will modernize transit through the expansion of accessible rural public transportation. My administration would ban future offshore drilling and develop an emergency response system that prioritizes minority communities when major climate events come on shore. 2. How would you deal with enduring, stark racial inequalities in places like South Carolina? We must invest in communities of color and the institutions that promote economic mobility. It’s why I am committed to investing $50 billion into our nation’s HBCUs, seven of which call South Carolina home. HBCUs have played an extraordinary role in educating Black students, developing remarkable leaders, and helping build the African-American middle class. When Black Americans experience economic justice, we all benefit. My proposal will triple the number of entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds. My administration will award 25% of federal contracting dollars to minority businesses and inject $10 billion in funds to support entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds. 3. Why should South Carolina voters support you Feb. 29? Like so many other veterans and their families who call South Carolina home, my personal commitment is one rooted in service. It’s why I came home to lead the turn around of a city many had written off. In order to lead, it’s going to take a lot more than the political warfare we’ve come to accept from Washington. I will be the president to bring the country back together to get health care costs down, tackle climate change, and end gun violence. In my presidency, the American experience will be defined not by exclusion, but by belonging.

Pete Buttigieg is a compelling candidate. At 38 years old, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., is the youngest Democrat in the field. He is also a Harvard graduate and studied as a Rhodes Scholar before entering the U.S. Navy Reserve and serving in Afghanistan. Given his background and Midwestern roots, it is no surprise that Buttigieg is poised to do well in the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3. He is currently polling third in Iowa with support from 19 percent of likely voters according to the most recent Real Clear Politics (RCP) polling average. Buttigieg will almost certainly finish in the top group, with a good chance at victory in the Hawkeye State. Buttigieg’s prospects in South Carolina look much less promising, however. According to research in our book on the South Carolina primary, a Democratic candidate’s performance in Iowa does not aid them in the Palmetto State. In fact, there is a slight negative relationship between a candidate’s performances in the two states. Outcomes in these two states have a weak connection because Democratic voters in Iowa and South Carolina are very different — South Carolina’s Democratic primary electorate is more conservative, less educated, more religious, and has a much larger black population. Polling data support this conclusion. Buttigieg has the support of just 6 percent of South Carolina’s Democratic primary voters based on the RCP polling average. Biden has a commanding lead, at 32 percent, with Sanders and Warren at 15 percent and 14 percent, respectively. What can Buttigieg do to improve his showing in South Carolina? He has done well in recent debates and has an opportunity to gain support in the Feb. 25 debate in Charleston. He is also one of the few candidates airing ads in South Carolina, indicating that he recognizes the importance of the state’s “First in the South” status. Perhaps most importantly, his recent ads have tried to appeal to the state’s black voters — a vitally important constituency in Democratic primaries, one Buttigieg must gain the support of over the next few weeks. Another key for Buttigieg is to win the support from moderates. Buttigieg’s moderate platform (at least compared to Sanders and Warren) could resonate with South Carolina voters on economic issues. However, the openly gay mayor may struggle with more socially conservative Democrats.

POOR PEOPLE’S CAMPAIGN STOPS IN NORTH CHARLESTON AHEAD OF D.C. RALLY THIS JUNE

The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival’s National We Must Do More Tour finished up a three-day visit to Charleston on Mon. Jan. 13. The tour, which is stopping in 25 states, aims to raise awareness of the issues facing struggling low-income people in the U.S. On Monday, after canvassing and making other stops in the area over the weekend, community members, advocates, and faith leaders were among those who organized a Moral Monday March from Fresh Future Farm up Rivers Avenue to Cherokee Place United Methodist Church for a mass meeting and rally. The tour’s stop in Charleston is part of a road trip leading up to the Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington slated for June 20. There, thousands more will gather in the nation’s capital to “demonstrate their power” and call for the implementation of the campaign’s Moral Agenda. The group’s agenda draws inspiration from social justice leaders of the past who persevered through adversity, asking leaders in the federal government to acknowledge the short end of the stick poor people have been given and make demands. “These prophetic justice leaders remind us that movements don’t just curse the darkness,” says campaign co-chair Rev. Liz Theoharis. “We don’t just awake the nation with what is wrong, but we come together in power with demands. We are rising up to demand justice.” The list of demands given by the Poor People’s Campaign breaks down just some of the issues facing marginalized populations in the U.S. Priorities range from ending systemic racism and ecological devastation, to valuing peace over war and a national morality. The Moral Monday event in North Charleston served as a platform for residents to speak about firsthand experiences to

Source: The Post and Courier

rally support for the march in Washington. After speeches, applause was punctuated with words by Rev. William J. Barber II, who leads the group with Theoharis. “When we get to D.C., we don’t want people clapping at people’s stories — we want them crying,” he tells the crowd. “We want to break this nation’s heart. We want to say, ‘Don’t be acting like they’re so heroic.’ We say, ‘Somebody’s hurting our brothers and our sisters, and it’s gone on far too long, and we won’t be silent anymore.’” Barber has served as one of the South’s most prominent activists over the past decade, organizing Moral Monday protests in his home state of North Carolina. The Poor People’s Campaign, founded in 2017, takes its name from the 1960s-era civil rights group that rallied for overlooked communities as the nation grappled with the impact of generations of segregation. This summer’s march in Washington will be an even-larger platform to address national leaders, but the event will serve as a call to action for people to take part in moral civic engagement that cares about poor and low-wealth people, the sick, immigrants, workers, the environment, and peace over war. “This event is so important because people need to know what it’s like to not have a home and the simple things — like a place to take a shower, a bathroom, and a place to sit down and rest,” said Christine Riccio, a member of the Poor People’s Campaign in S.C., in a press release before the event last week. “They need to know the taste of peanut butter and bread and water when that’s your only dinner option. This Poor People’s Campaign is long overdue in South Carolina.” Learn more about the campaign and the June 2020 march at poorpeoplescampaign.org. —Skyler Baldwin

The S.C. House of Representatives appears ready to weigh in on banning offshore drilling. Two competing bills — one that would kill the industry before it could begin, and the other that would prohibit local governments from banning it — have been placed on the contested calendar for second reading. Debate could happen as early as next week. But depending on House temperaments, it could be a while, too. In the first three days of session, the anti-offshore drilling bill, H. 3087 championed by House Judiciary Chair Peter McCoy (R-Charleston) gained 28 additional co-sponsors. The bipartisan bill already had 41 co-sponsors by the tail end of the first year of the two-year 20192020 session. That means 70 members — more than 56 percent of the House — are now sponsoring the bill. Lancaster Democratic Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell said she has been behind the early push to add sponsors. “I probably have 10 more people who want to cosponsor it who haven’t gotten onto the sheet,” she said Thursday. “Everyone seems to be on the same page.” In May, the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee voted to put the bill and its competitor, H. 3471, to the floor of the House. Agriculture Committee Chair David Hiott (R-Pickens) was one of the House members that voted for debate on Wednesday. “As we gathered the information and started talking about it (in committee), it was thought best we brought them both out of committee and got them on the calendar and let everybody have their say,” Hiott said. “Let’s just have the debate.” But being on the contested calendar doesn’t necessarily mean House members will begin debating the bills next week or in the coming weeks. They could vote to table the debate, or recommit the bills into committee. Hiott told Statehouse Report, City Paper’s sister publication, he would be surprised if the House debated the bills before a decision was made on the future of Santee Cooper or the budget was hashed out. “I don’t think there’s an urgency about it anymore,” he said, citing how the Trump administration has backed off of offshore drilling in the Atlantic and the 2019-2020 budget proviso that prohibits issuing permits for the industry. “(It’s) something that is going to take up a lot of time.” Aiken Republican Rep. Bill Hixon, a co-sponsor of the pro-offshore drilling bill, said he also doesn’t see the bills going anywhere this session. But Pickens Republican Rep. Gary Clary, an early co-sponsor of the anti-offshore drilling bill, said he expects movement on the floor. “We’ll be doing something,” he said. “I anticipate it will pass because there’s a real swell of support.” House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford of Columbia said a delay in the Department of Administration’s report on bids for public utility Santee Cooper could open the door for House members willing to wade into this debate. “We have got to make it clear that offshore drilling is not welcome off the shore of South Carolina,” he said. “Hopefully that will not be something we have a problem with.” Gov. Henry McMaster has repeatedly voiced opposition to offshore drilling in South Carolina waters. It’s anticipated that he would sign any bill that would prohibit the industry — as he did with the budget proviso last year. “The governor will do everything in his power to make sure there is no seismic or offshore drilling,” McMaster spokesman Brian Symmes said. —Lindsay Street

A woman was cited for having an open container after officers saw her drinking from a small box of wine outside of a downtown Baptist church. I bet they didn’t even consider that it could have been full of water before she approached the church.

The Blotter is taken from Charleston Police Department reports. We’ve added a cartoon and a little commentary. We’ve added a little humor, too. No one has been found guilty. This is not a court of law. Police responded to an injured party on Monday after a man reportedly stabbed himself in the leg with a kitchen knife, “just to see if it would hurt.” Officers made it a point to note that the man started drinking around 4 p.m. that day. A man was observed trespassing on the property of a downtown grocery store. Security footage showed him entering the store, standing in the pharmacy for a brief moment, and then leaving. The store manager told police that the suspect applied for a job at some point, but failed the drug test. Listen, he didn’t steal from the pharmacy. He was probably trying to prove that he doesn’t have a drug problem. A man at a downtown gas station was cited for trespassing after he was caught asking patrons if he could pump gas for them for a few extra dollars. You say trespasser, we say entrepreneur.

Two sets of golf clubs were stolen from two different vehicles parked in the driveways of two different residences. Coincidence? Maybe, but we think something bigger is going on. Three iPhones were stolen from a vehicle in West Ashley last weekend: an iPhone 4 (valued at $20), an iPhone 5 (valued at $50), and an iPhone 7 (valued at $100). Just like cars and Hollywood actors, iPhones drastically lose their value as they get older. Police reported to a downtown residence in response to a possible fraud/identity theft. The victim says that she received a letter indicating that an unauthorized student loan was taken out in her name and she owed close to $9,000. Student loans continue to rob people of their future. A woman reported that her car was broken into by four or five teenage boys. The only thing she confirmed as having been stolen was a tea kettle. Ah yes, the Teapot Boys. Classic.

On a popular downtown street, a man was observed driving a moped on the sidewalk. When police approached the suspect, they conducted a breathalyzer test, which showed him to be over two times the legal limit. Nobody told this guy that mopeds are what you drive after you get a DUI, seems like. Police responded to a West Ashley hotel, where a complainant claimed there was an odor of marijuana and chemicals coming from a room. Officers searched the room, but could not find any evidence of marijuana. The report says that the most likely explanation is that the subjects were “manufacturing fake marijuana in order to sell.” Is it criminal to make fake weed? Asking for a friend. Three handguns were stolen from vehicles and two were stolen from houses in the past couple weeks. Tune in next week when we find out if our giant new brick structure on wheels is classified as a house or a car.

Along with a unified Charleston council comes a time for transformational change

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

tanding in front of City Hall last Monday, Jan. 13 to mark the swearing in of the mayor and city council, Charleston poet laureate Marcus Amaker called for local elected leaders to embrace the city for its diversity. With big issues looming for our leaders, Amaker is right: Steering big change in Charleston must take into account all residents of the Holy City. As a new crop of younger, forward-looking decision-makers take their seats on Charleston City Council, its members have a renewed opportunity to work together to steer change. Not only did voters demand it in the results of the 2019 elections, but working together is the responsible way to change course. Realizing the vision for a unified city will not be easy. Charleston residents come from diverse backgrounds with varied economic interests, frames of historical reference, and personal preferences. But true leadership will require the mayor and city council to see past anecdotes, history, and personalities. After all, sea level rise pays no mind to the developer with a permit to slash and build, or the neighbor whose yard will flood long after the model homes close. The water is still rising. Regardless of momentum and public support for change by council, the window for opportunity is small. District lines will change by the next mayoral election in 2023 as lawmakers make updates statewide to reflect demographic shifts over the last decade. Areas of Johns Island, where some precincts have

seen the number of registered voters double as more people move onto the island, may very well be redistricted, affecting newly elected Councilman Karl Brady. Councilman Mike Seekings told the City Paper in November that he expected his downtown district to shift, possibly looping in new constituents west of the Ashley. New council members Jason Sakran and Marie Delcioppo, whose districts span areas on and off the peninsula, could also feel effects from redistricting. If members squander the city’s unique chance to make change now before more potentially partisan maps are drawn, voters may not get another chance for some time. As leaders tackle long-standing challenges faced by city residents, they must also look ahead and find innovative approaches to make our city a better place to live for everyone along the socio-economic spectrum. In his inaugural address this month, Mayor John Tecklenburg called for state-level changes that would let the city use tourism tax money to “help save the city” by funding much-needed flooding projects. The mayor’s sentiment rings true as tourism-related growth is straining our city, making it more expensive for people to live here. Let’s not concede that tourism is a runaway force. Let’s manage it — just like we must manage rising seas. “She may be old, but her best days are ahead,” Amaker said of Charleston, which marks its 350th anniversary in 2020. “Whatever challenges await, we will face them together because she hears us, people of change.”

GUEST COLUMN | BY COLLEEN CONDON

Listen Carefully With the nation’s eyes upon us, Charleston Democrats are poised to win in 2020 South Carolina will have the First in the South Presidential Primary on Feb. 29. S.C. sets the tone for how candidates can do in Southern and other racially diverse states. In both 2008 and 2016, South Carolina was the first state where the eventual nominee broke 50 percent. So this is our time to help choose the next president. Charleston has had visits from all of the Democrats on the S.C. ballot for president. We have become a state of voters expecting to shake the hand or take a selfie with presidential candidates before we choose our candidate. You will have the chance to see each of them in person again before Feb. 29, and I urge you to do so. Charleston will also host a debate with the Congressional Black Caucus. Sorry, I do not have access to debate tickets. Believe me, my wife is asking me and I cannot even tell her yes! I can, however, invite you to a watch party and other events surrounding the debate. This momentum will continue. Democrats care about good health care, a living wage, sending our kids to college, and addressing climate change. Those messages are resonating with voters. The Charleston Democrats have opened a year-round volunteer office to answer questions and facilitate our work for candidates. Charleston is represented by two terrific members of

Congress, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham. Joe’s frequent town halls and brewery stops are well attended. They will likely be joined this year by Jaime Harrison in the U.S. Senate. Jaime is a first-time candidate, but very experienced. He’s ready to secure good schools, clean water, and jobs that support families. And his campaign is getting attention, raising more than $3.5 million this last quarter, more than any S.C. candidate has ever raised in one quarter! He is going to have the resources to beat U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and will be a wonderful senator. In March, there will be more Democratic candidates filing for office than any time in 30 years — a number of candidates have already announced and I talk with more folks everyday who are considering running. Charleston County and many local districts that used to vote Republican now have a pattern of voting for Democrats. Many Democrats have won countywide elections in recent years. We are proud of Register of Deeds Michael Miller and Treasurer Mary Tinkler offering new programs to ease the tax burden, as well as Auditor Peter Tecklenburg. This year, Ben Pogue is running for solicitor, sharing how our criminal prosecution system should intersect with our community and our schools.

First-time S.C. Reps. Krystle Matthews and JA Moore have stood up for the people in North Charleston. Air Force veteran Ed Sutton is storming House 114. Two passionate women have announced runs for House District 115, and one will likely be successful with voting for Democrats becoming the norm on James Island. We have at least one Democrat running for several local state senate seats. Richard Hricik is running for in District 43, which stretches along the coast. Kathryn Whittaker is knocking on doors in Charleston and Berkeley to take District 37. Sam Skardon is convincing voters across District 41 that he is ready to serve. If four new Democrats win statewide, the State Senate will have an even number of Democrats and Republicans. Gridlock would lessen and we would see more progress in the legislature. And we will have S.C. Sen. Marlon Kimpson as chair of the county legislative delegation. You deserve candidates that share your values! Even if you have voted for Republicans in the past, listen to candidates’ priorities and I bet you will find some Democrats compelling. Colleen Condon is chair of the Charleston County Democratic Party.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

y days as the Charleston City Paper staff photographer can be long, crazy, and unpredictable, but one thing never changes: Every Wednesday morning you will find me in a local coffee shop or business running in and grabbing the newest issue. Over the following few minutes is when I see which pictures were chosen by the editorial and art departments to go to print. Most of the time, I quickly look through and nod my head, agreeing with the pictures I see. However, there are times when I see that my favorite images didn’t make it and I sigh, wondering if it was the composition, the crop, or the orientation that made the team go with a different shot. Working at City Paper is by far the most exciting and challenging thing I have ever been a part of and I absolutely love to be “in the know” and meet the coolest people in Charleston. I was a fan of CP for years before I started working here and I remember seeing previous photographer Jonathan Boncek’s annual “Images that didn’t make the cut” feature, so when I was given the opportunity to do the same, I could not wait to go back through my photos and share them with readers. Cheers, everyone. Here are a handful that didn’t make the cut in 2019. —Ruta Smith

Ruta S m it

About the cover photo: Timesha Moody was one of the easiest people I’ve ever photographed. We were walking around the CofC campus, shooting photos for a fitness story and these random things became props. She was doing cartwheels, jumping, and doing the splits — she did it all.

Everyone loves donuts so I was ecstatic to get my assignment to photograph local donut shops. Fractured Prune makes every kid’s dream come true.

4 I was very interested to hear the angle of this story involving local chefs working on fishing boats. I’d previously photographed chef Emily Hahn in restaurants and farmers markets, and when I saw her on the dock at Miss Paula’s, she looked truly happy. You could see it in her eyes. She didn’t pose for any photos, but even in this picture she’s smiling.

When I got assigned this story about cold brew coffee, I thought, “Easy, peasy. Shooting coffee ... Everyone does it on their phones.” Two shoots in, I was very frustrated! I had to do more research and learn how the temperature of the coffee and the consistency of the milk interacted. This picture is an example of what I wanted to achieve: Great light and the perfect moment of the cream hitting the cold brew.

When I was taking this picture, I thought to myself, “This is going to be the cover: The light, composition, and colors are amazing.” I was amazed to find out it didn’t even make it into the paper. This view is what I thought represented the story: an architecturally dynamic neighbhorhood in downtown Charleston.

Dashi in North Charleston has some of the best light to photograph anything. With restaurant shoots during business hours, I don’t have much time to play with light and composition, but it was a lovely winter afternoon and the light was hitting at just the right angle.

As I wandered through the greenhouse at Meeting Green waiting to photograph owner Kendal Leonard for a story about local plant shops, I saw this lizard and snapped a quick picture. TIP: Check your plants for mating lizards when you shop at Meeting Green.

Showing up to an empty restaurant to meet a chef never gets old. If you are a fan of O-Ku, then you know at any given time during service you are lucky to get a table. The day I met Chef Junior, I immediately knew I would want to photograph him preparing sushi behind the bar.

How the hell did this picture from Butcher & Bee not run? It captured the perfect moment, the perfect setup — what the perfect bite should look like. This shot of an oyster farmer wouldn’t normally run — he is facing away and you can’t really tell he’s just playing around. But it was just too much fun watching him, biting our nails hoping he wouldn’t fall! I grew up in a small town and my grandma’s neighbors had cows. I would spend so much time with the cows that I would smell like cow shit and my mom wouldn’t let me back into the house. Spending my day with the cows at Lowcountry Creamery brought me back to being younger. Farm shoots are definitely my favorite thing. I love bringing awareness to local farmers and chefs working together.

COULTER FUSSELL’S QUILTS MAY NOT BE FUNCTIONAL AS, WELL, QUILTS, BUT THEY ARE GORGEOUS WORKS OF ART

Art and Craft Coulter Fussell’s new exhibition at the Halsey Institute brings quilt-making to the artistic fore

CULTIVATE BRINGS ART AND SCIENCE TOGETHER FOR SCIART HAPPY HOUR

BY VINCENT HARRIS Coulter Fussell: The Raw Materials of Escape

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

Jan. 17-Feb. 29 Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art College of Charleston 161 Calhoun St. Downtown halsey.cofc.edu

It’s interesting how there’s always an “and” between “arts” and “crafts.” It suggests that they are, while related, separate from one another. But in the work of artist Coulter Fussell, whose new exhibition The Raw Materials of Escape is now open at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, the two become one. Fussell began her artistic endeavors as a painter, but after her first child was born, she followed in her mother Cathy’s footsteps and began making quilts. But she never quite left painting behind. Unlike the classic quilt designs we’re used to seeing, Fussell’s quilts are deliberately imperfect. Rather than using set patterns, she combines textures, patterns and colors instinctively, when they feel right to her. She lays her squares of material and bolts of fabric on her studio floor and layers them until she feels they’re complete. The quilts she has on display as part The Raw Materials of Escape are at once bold and muted, haphazard and conscious, art and craft. “You have the wholeness of a quilt,” Fussell says, “with this repetitive pattern all over it. And in painting you have depth and perspective and progressions of light. So I try to merge

FUSSELL SAYS THAT WHEN WORKING IN A CRAFT TRADITION, “HALF THE WORK IS ALREADY DONE FOR YOU”

those two design methods into one in my pieces. I try to have a piece be like no more of a painting than it is a quilt, and no more of a quilt than it is a painting. I want it to all be born at the same time from the same place.” Fussell says she was drawn to quilt-making because inside of its limitations, she found artistic freedom. “One of the reasons that there are so many strict rules is that it has to function,” she says. “It has to do something. It has a physical

Last week the North Charleston Performing Arts Center announced that legendary stand-up comedian Dave Chappelle will perform there at 7 p.m. on Thurs. Jan. 30. Chappelle will also perform in Columbia the night before at Township Auditorium. Chappelle comes to South Carolina just a few weeks before the state’s Democratic primary election on Feb. 29. In a campaign press release shortly after the show was announced, Chappelle announced his endorsement of presidential candidate Andrew Yang, the tech entrepreneur who has campaigned on universal basic income. Shows in North Charleston and Columbia will benefit Yang’s presidential run, the campaign says. Limited tickets to the show are available at https://chscp.co/36iNYI1 Chappelle’s reputation precedes him, from his critically acclaimed Chappelle’s Show to two Emmy Awards and two Grammy Awards.

purpose, and if you don’t adhere to those rules, it’ll fall apart on you. It won’t keep you warm. So a lot of those rules have to do with it actually mattering.” Within the rules of being functional, Fussell says the space for variation is far bigger than one might expect. “I really like having those sets of rules because they sort of give you a jumping off continued on page 23

Tues. Jan. 28 will commence the fifth and fullest season of Cultivate SciArt happy hour, presented by Cultivate, a grassroots Charleston organization dedicated to starting discussions about science and art. This season is made up of a brilliantly diverse range of educators who want to share their research with all of Charleston. The Tues. Jan. 28 event, “Soil Saviors: Using Plants to Pull Pollutants Out of Our Land,” is hosted at Rutledge Cab Co. from 6-8 p.m. You can buy tickets ($15/general, $10/ educators, Free/students) online. This first event will spotlight South Carolina State University Plant Physiologist and Environmental Biologist, Dr. Florence Anoruo, as she discusses the use of plants to pull pollutants from the ground. Anoruo has just returned from the UN climate change conference so she’ll have plenty of ideas to share about cleaning up our backyards. Cultivate’s art director Marielena Martinez will introduce attendees to the art of Ebru, floating paints in water and wicking pictures onto paper. Experts like Dr. Melissa Hughes, Dr. David Parisi, and Martinez will spearhead this season’s events as they cover topics relating to biology, art, and emerging media. Martinez notes, “Science, like art, pushes boundaries — the two combined give us a sense of freedom to explore truthfully, understand thoroughly, and find our own individualism.” —Shannon Murray For daily updates from Charleston’s art world, check out the Arts+Movies section at charlestoncitypaper.com.

Greed is God Woolfe Street brings the teetering financial world of the ’80s to the stage with Junk BY CONNELLY HARDAWAY Courtesy Woolfe Street Playhouse

Junk Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. $28+ Woolfe Street Playhouse 34 Woolfe St. Downtown woolfestreetplayhouse.com

“It’s very much a historical thriller — and I’m a major sucker for those.” Keely Enright, producing director of Village Repertory Company, brings Junk to Woolfe Street Playhouse starting this weekend, offering Charleston theater-goers a look at what she calls a “transformative time in American finance.” Written by Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar in 2016, Junk is set in 1985 and follows Robert Merkin, an investor who proclaims that “debt is an asset.” The character of Merkin is based on real life financier Michael

Milken, a “junk bond king,” best known for developing the market for high-yield bonds (and later, for serving a prison sentence for securities and reporting violations). “We know this precipitated so much financial destruction later on,” says Enright of Junk. “It’s interesting to look at it through the lens of time.” Enright compares the play to the 2015 film The Big Short, which, while about a different period of finanical crisis — the 2008 housing bubble — also examines the effect of a few big financial players on the entire country’s economy. Junk also draws comparisons to the 1987 film, Wall Street, starring Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, and Daryl Hannah. In that film Douglas’ character, Gordon Gekko (also based loosely on Michael Milken) declares that “greed is good.” In Junk, says Enright, Robert Merkin believes that greed is god. But

YOU DON’T NEED A HISTORY LESSON TO GET INTO THE NITTY GRITTY OF THE WORLD OF 1980S JUNK BOND KINGS

the play isn’t heavy-handed. Junk isn’t trying to teach us any lessons, says Enright: “It’s not a morality tale. It’s a very dry eye at a time that became crucial.” As one can imagine, most of the cast members in Junk — and it’s a large cast, at over 20 actors — were either not alive or not old enough to understand what was happening with junk bonds in the 1980s. A little background research is helpful but Enright says it’s not necessary to get on board with what’s happening in the show. While Junk is set almost four decades in the past, Enright insists that the story is very much “right now.” “It’s affecting every single person right this minute,” she says. “In the times we’re

Engaged?

in, money is all that matters to so many Americans. The thought is, ‘If Wall Street’s good, I guess I’m good.’” In a 2018 interview Junk’s author, Akhtar, talked about what the play’s central plot element might look like today: “There is no way to tell this story today without it seeming an even more foregone conclusion. In a sense, the ’80s was really the last moment when the outcome could be contestable. Today, the forces of finance are — for the time being — beyond anyone’s ability to resist.” Akhtar, says Enright, does a great job of giving the audience information without bogging continued on page 23

Conspiracy Theory The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson movie is as gross as you’d think

I’m a dumbass. This week, I chose to give into my worst instincts and watch the VOD equivalent of an online troll. That movie was The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson. The movie has been a lightning rod for criticism the past few months and I was curious what all the fuss was about. The director, Daniel Farrands, did a few horror movie documentaries I liked, and he wrote a Halloween movie (granted it was a jumbled mess called Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers.) He also recently directed two reviled true crime-meetshorror films that I’ve yet to see, 2019’s The Amityville Murders and the notorious The Haunting of Sharon Tate. Both films posit theories or alternate universe type stuff around tragic events. This may be Farrands’ wheelhouse because The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson posits a theory that she and Ron Goldman may not have been killed by her former NFL superstar husband, O.J. Simpson. Farrands suggests that even if O.J. had anything to do with it, he had help in the form of real-life serial killer Glen Rogers, aka The Casanova Killer. We begin at a birthday party for Nicole (played by one-time Charleston resident Mena Suvari). After a thoughtful, maybe 10-second shot of her laughing and smiling, I was thinking, “Maybe this is a case of people losing their shit for no reason. Maybe this will be a loving, nuanced take on a life cut short.” Any pretense of that vanishes quickly in favor of blunt, on-the-nose foreshadowing of This movie has the the cold reality of Nicole’s fate. visual aesthetic of a Not 10 minutes in, we see her stare at a cable TV movie loaded white Bronco and later say something to the with stock music that effect of, “I’m worried one day he’s going to kill me and get away with it.” reduces a real-life One minute later, Nicole’s friend, Kris Kardashian (played by Agnes Bruckner), tragedy to a cheap says her husband Bruce couldn’t make it Lifetime thriller with to the party because of a fundraiser he’s slasher tendencies. attending. Another friend, Faye Resnick (Taryn Manning in what I’m assuming is a wig) replies, “What a drag!” In between jogs with fellow future victim, Ron Goldman (Drew Roy), and therapy visits, Nicole meets Glen Rogers (Nick Stahl) and ultimately hires him to paint her house. Not long after shunning the advances of Resnick (the film suggests an affair between the two), she has sex with Rogers. Later, a post-coital Rogers is naked, seemingly talking to “Charlie.” He tries to kill Nicole, then leaves. From there on, Nicole Brown Simpson is stalked in a sparsely attended outlet mall and makes a couple more eye-roll worthy comments about being dead while Rogers murders someone else. Then, out of nowhere, in a dream sequence, Nicole is being attacked and dragged across the ceiling. Why Farrands, who also directed the Nightmare on Elm Street series documentary Never Sleep Again, wanted to reference an iconic scene from the first Nightmare film I’ll never understand. It’s a pointless reference. Normally I’m pretty adamant about not spoiling movies out of severe respect for the experience but since this movie didn’t seem to have much respect for its audience and even less for the subjects, screw it. The last 40 minutes play out like an extended death march. The murders occur in graphic detail. Then we’re treated

to footage from 1994 including the chase, the trial, and most tastefully, the crime scene. Then we’re shown footage from Glen Rogers’ arrest. That’s followed by footage of O.J. mentioning a guy named Charlie ... and, then we cut back to footage of Stahl’s Rogers being questioned by detectives on a leftover Law & Order: SVU set. The film ends with credits scored by the very real 911 phone calls from the very real Nicole Brown Simpson reporting her husband. The end. This movie has the visual aesthetic of a cable TV movie loaded with stock music that reduces a real-life tragedy to a cheap Lifetime thriller with slasher tendencies. It’s a shame that Stahl’s return to movies after a six-year absence is on a movie like this. Speaking of actors, Suvari is listed in the movie as executive producer but, interestingly, not on IMDB. I’m genuinely curious what the draw was for her. Are she and Farrands actually Glen Rogers truthers? Was this a passion project? Or was this something more cynical than that? I don’t know which is better, a stupid movie that thinks it’s saying something important or an empty troll hellbent on provocation disguised as a movie. Either way, it’s not particularly good. The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson — Rated R. Directed by Daniel Farrands. Starring Mena Suvari, Nick Stahl, Taryn Manning, Agnes Bruckner, and Bianca Bree.

continued from page 18 point,” she says, “a place to start. And that also gives you a place to move past. It puts a linear progression to the expansive idea that you’re trying to get across when you’re working within strict limitations like that.” Fussell says that her artwork has generations of craftsmanship behind it, which makes her job easier. “Half the work is already done for you if you work within a craft tradition,” she says. “All the things that other artists might have to think of, all the women before me have already done that. They’ve already figured out the structure. They’ve figured out where this goes or that goes, so what I get to do is expand on that in a lot of ways. When you work within a craft tradition, it really feels like in some way you’re work-

ing as part of a group effort. Even if you spend hours and hours alone in your studio, there’s so many other artists that have put into what you’re actually doing there.” Of course, some sacrifices do have to be made in order for Fussell to pursue her artistic instincts. “I’ve really never made functional quilts,” she says with a laugh. “The first one I ever made was made out of carpet from the floorboard of a car. So from very beginning, you probably didn’t really want to use it to keep warm.” The Raw Materials of Escape exhibition, the name of which was inspired by a quote from author William Burroughs, is a collection of all newly made quilts. It’s also the culmination of a longtime admiration that the Halsey Institute has for what Coulter Fussell does. “This is something that’s really exciting on the Halsey side because we’ve been fans

of Coulter’s work for a while,” says exhibition curator Katie McCampbell Hirsch. “We wanted Coulter to make all new work and to use this exhibition as an opportunity to do something she’d been wanting to do.” What both Fussell and Hirsch want to do is let people know that the quilt making is just as vivid an art form as it is a craft. “I want people to realize that they don’t have to categorize works of art when they look at them,” Hirsch says. “I mean, these are quilts, but they’re everything else. They’re paintings, sculptures, collages, and many other things.” “I’d like people to know that quilts are sort of wild already,” Fussell says. “Yes, I’ve presented them in this way that’s non-traditional and not typical, but the craziest part of these pieces are the scraps that came to me, these really wild bold designs in bright colors. They were wild, innovative pieces before I touched them.”

Greed continued from page 20 anyone down. Junk, while dealing with some dense financial material, is fast-paced and full of interesting characters — no heroes, per se, but real humans drawn to that ever enticing duo: money and power. “It’s such a fun, fascinating look at how we live,” says Enright. Set in 1985, Junk is not full of “god awful ‘80s costuming.” While Enright loves the ‘80s aesthetics, she says that Akhtar doesn’t want this play to be an homage to a certain time period’s style. “This play is not about just the period, it’s not looking back at old, dusty history,” says Enright. The set and the clothing won’t take you out of the play. They’ll gently guide you into the story. From there you can decide if, as Akhtar says, the forces of finance are beyond your ability to resist.

REVIEW

Raw Bar Royalty Seven years in, The Ordinary proves it’s still anything but BY VANESSA WOLF The Ordinary

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

Seafood Entrees:$18-$65 Serving: Dinner (Tues.-Sun.) 544 King St. Downtown

In December 2012, a historic King Street bank building found new life as an upscale oyster hall. The Ordinary — second child of Adam Nemirow and chef Mike Lata — opened with soaring 22-foot ceilings, the promise of locally sourced seafood, and lots of buzz. Today such concepts are a dime a dozen (on the half-shell, please). Thanks to folks like Lata and farmers like Clammer Dave Belanger, one of The Ordinary’s first steady purveyors, the demand for pristine shellfish and sustainable fruits de mer has skyrocketed. There’s Darling Oyster Bar down the street, Nico Oysters + Seafood across the river, Rappahannock on upper East Bay, and Neighborhood Dining Group’s latest stunner Delaney Oyster House, set up in a single house on Calhoun Street. But The Ordinary was the first of its kind,

and, I would argue, still the best. The restaurant was apparently named for old-school English taverns that serve a daily, fixed-price meal at a particular time. While that isn’t really a thing at this particular namesake, the menu is reliably seasonal, local, and seafood-heavy. So, after seven years and three chefs de cuisine, how is The Ordinary holding up? Seven year itch, be damned. If this were a drinking game, it would revolve around how many times I wanted — but resisted — using the word “extraordinary.” As always, the space itself is flawless. Airy and elegant, Nine Inch Nails playing overhead keeps things from feeling too froufrou. While regularly packed and filled with an upbeat ambiance, the high ceilings diffuse the jovial noise to a pleasant buzz. Filled with wood features, natural marble, and green leather seats, the earthy elements lend a grounded feel to the lofty space. Service is equally impeccable, with relaxed, one-dishat-a-time pacing rarely seen in today’s turnand-burn restaurants. Each new plate seems to arrive just as you begin to wish for it. Along with six daily varieties of raw

oysters on the half-shell, the house-smoked oysters ($18) are not to be missed. Presented in an oil and vinegar-filled preserve jar and spiked with slices of crisp pickled celery, the six oysters are so gently smoked that they are still raw. As a result, each is tender and juicy, the delicate hint of ocean flavor touched with woodsy smoke. Served with fancied-up saltines (brushed with butter and Old Bay), rich, cold creme fraiche, and vibrant hot sauce, the combination is outstanding: cool, crisp, and smoky all at once. “I just want to eat these, and nothing but these, for the rest of my life,” sighed my dining companion. Prepared as a crudo, the five slices of wahoo ($18) are firm and sweet. Topped with tart ponzu, crisp Asian pear, and cilantro-infused oil, the mild, firm fish contrasts with the crunch of flaky salt crystals and nutty toasted sesame seeds. Fresh, light, impeccably balanced, these are the sorts of dishes that exemplify The Ordinary’s notable strengths. Less so the broccolini ($12). While its continued on page 26

You can find chef Mally Racks’ garlic crabs at T-Mobile’s North Charleston office building. But not every day. And not at the same time, either, says owner Ben Flowers (aka Mally Racks) — there’s no set schedule for when the fire-engine-red truck will roll up with Flowers’ addictive seasoned crustaceans. That’s because Flowers doesn’t need to set a time. He posts his food truck schedule on Facebook and Instagram and within the hour, customers are lined up. Within a few hours, he’s sold out. Flowers has built up his fan base since April 2017 and, after almost three years of moving around, he’s ready to park his truck on his own property. The Square on Meeting is set to be the area’s newest food truck park/village/ rodeo. Located in the “heart of North Charleston” in an empty lot at the corner of Meeting and Dorchester, the square will be run by Flowers. “It’s going to be a hub for the culinary scene,” says Flowers. “I wanted to create a platform for other food trucks and vendors — I remember how hard it was in the beginning for me to find locations daily.” Flowers plans to emulate concepts like Meeting Street Eats with bistro lights and a concrete platform for dining. He also wants to have a stage for live music, a sound system, and a two-story shipping container with a rooftop, a space where food truck patrons can actually hang out. “It will be a cool amenity for North Charleston,” he says. “It’s a block away from Restaurant Depot, it’s a route all the food trucks already use and are familiar with — if you run out of supplies there’s a major wholesale supplier right there.” With plenty of car traffic nearby, the busy location seems prime for a flock of food trucks, and it’s only a few minutes from downtown and a couple blocks from I-26. Flowers hopes that once he has a number of trucks on board, the customer base will build organically, “people will want to see what’s going on.” Flowers thinks it will be appealing for tourists, too. He says he’s going to offer the taste of Charleston in one spot — seafood and soul food and breakfast. “I want to get a lot of the major people who you think of around Charleston — Bertha’s and Martha Lou and maybe do a ‘soul food Sunday,’” he says. You will be able to snag your garlic crabs and jumbo shrimp from the vacant lot at 3517 Meeting Street Road starting next month. Flowers says he’ll set up shop first, laying the groundwork for other trucks to follow. Racks’ garlic crabs will also be available at this weekend’s Food Truck Festival — Flowers hopes he can use the event to spread the word about his new project. Trucks interested in joining the square can email thesquareonmeeting@gmail.com. —Mary Scott Hardaway

unimaginable tenderness implies acts of wizardry, the magic is lost in the seasoning. Overwhelmed by a powerfully tart, lemonheavy bagna cauda, the flavor of the four beautifully cooked stalks couldn’t be discerned over the staggeringly citrusy sauce. The crispy oyster slider ($6 each) does exactly what it says on the tin. Part banh mi, part po boy, all the deliciousness, the star is a pillowy soft, made-in-house Hawaiian roll. Inside, the hot fried oysters are topped with fresh cilantro and shredded carrots, with house-made Sriracha adding a touch of fire to the finish. The baked stuffed lobster ($38), the regular Friday night special, has strong Betty Crocker vibes. Straight out of the 1950s, the mix of shrimp, scallops, and presumably lobster is stuffed back into the shell and topped with buttery breadcrumbs. While not terrible, it’s pedestrian and, well, ordinary. In contrast, the roasted wreckfish ($34) is delightful. Well seasoned, with a crisp, buttery sear, the inner flesh is moist and tender. Paired with creamy mushroom polenta and snappy cauliflower florets, it’s the kind of plate that has made The Ordinary a popular draw over the years. Yes, it’s pricey and the portions can border on precious. Your billfold will rumble from hunger upon exit. There’s talk of a

All Star Special Charleston Wine + Food chefs train at Waffle House in advance of fest’s Smackdown

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

BY MARY SCOTT HARDAWAY

It’s 1:35 p.m. on an unseasonably warm Wednesday in January. A handful of aproned employees are finishing up the first shift of the day at the Waffle House in West Ashley, mopping floors, refilling salt shakers, running the dishwasher for the upteempth time. There are still customers trickling in, dashing out — Waffle House never closes, even in inclement weather. Well, until the lights go out. Two grinning, slightly bewildered folks look out of place — aprons and all — in front of the grill. There’s Kia Damon, culinary director of biannual indie magazine Cherry Bombe and Joe Nierstedt, the chef behind Johns Island’s KinFolk. Charleston-area Waffle House operator Brandon Rogers calmly talks the top chefs through the eight ways to make eggs as employees deftly work the grill around them: “Mark chicken and eggs triple scramble over light, wheat!” “Pull two orders bacon, drop three hashbrowns scattered, diced, chunked!” At Waffle House, there are no printed tickets, no finicky computer systems or grumbling line cooks quibbling over nonsenical mods. There’s the Waffle House way: pull, drop, mark. It’s a vocabulary that employees live by, even if they question the tried-and-true wisdom at first. “We’ve had grill operators come in and say to the server, ‘No, don’t call the ticket just hand it to me,’” says Rogers. “And they’ll say, ‘Line them up,’ and tickets are lined up on the board and they’re looking down at them — it’s the slowest way to do it.” Damon cheers as she masters flipping the over-medium egg in the oiled aluminum pan. “Boom!” Rogers looks over at Nierstedt’s progress — he’s broken the yolk. “So yeah that would be more medium well...” The chefs are only here for an hour, and they have a take-home manual outlining the WH way. But most new employees train for six-toeight weeks before they even have a quarter of it down, notes Rogers. Trial by scattered and smothered fire indeed. As you may know, many Waffle House diners visit in the late hours, vision blurred and speech slurred, hoping for a hot meal served fast. They may not notice the intricate dance playing out feet from their spot at the counter. Rogers offers the chefs a Cliff’s Notes version of this complex marking: If you memorize the marks, you know exactly what to cook. In theory. “Instead of looking at a ticket you’re looking at a plate,” analogizes Rogers. The largest vertical plate serves as a compass of sorts — a jelly packet on the bottom signifies

scrambled eggs. An over light egg is marked to the left side of the plate, over medium in the middle, over well on the right side. If the packet is vertical it means eggs, horizontal means omelettes. Mustard packet is three eggs. “M for mustard, M means more,” offers one of the employees, as Damon and Nierstedt stare, slack-jawed. The chefs will compete in Wine + Food’s sold-out Waffle House Smackdown, a beloved tradition the fest is bringing back in honor of their 15th anniversary. The newbies will face off against two Smackdown vets, working the line for the chance to battle in the final showdown. Will they have to scramble eggs, fry bacon, chop cheesesteak? Rogers has trained Smackdown chefs before, and he offers as many tips as he can. “They’ll definitely call sandwiches, that is one egg over well, one egg is a ‘single.’ An order of eggs is two eggs, triple is three eggs.” It’s a lot to take in, but the employees at 2229 Savannah Hwy. don’t blink. There’s Russell, the manager at the temporarily closed location just over the bridge on Savannah Highway (don’t worry, Rogers says renovations should wrap up in March).

He’s helping out while they complete the remodel. “He’s seen it all,” says Rogers. “He’s been at Waffle House since the ‘96 Olympics in Atlanta. Every restaurant has folks who have been here eight, 12, 15 years, which is kind of how we do it.” There are servers and grill operators who are cross-trained — some servers will take it upon themselves to take an order, make the order, and deliver the order to their table. “A lot of folks think they’ll get better tips that way,” says Rogers. And then there are servers like Mary, who has just clocked in for the day’s second shift. “You’ll never see me doing that,” Mary promises. Rogers laughs, “She won’t even make a grilled cheese!” At Waffle House there is no smoke and mirrors, no hidden kitchens or front of house drama. There’s just a server, a notepad, an open kitchen, a grill master prepped and ready. An order called out with confidence. Pull, drop, mark. Waffle House Smackdown takes place 8:3010:30 a.m. Sat. March 17 in the Culinary Village. Visit the Ticket Exchange to find tickets to the sold out event.

Sorghum & Salt Situated in the space that once held the beloved Two Boroughs Larder, Chef Tres Jackson’s Sorghum & Salt has more than enough chops to fill those shoes. Tenaciously fresh and unapologetically creative, Jackson’s cuisine offers a mix of familiar and foreign in ways that are fresh and unexpected. The menu is as continually in flux as the ever-shifting Lowcountry weather, but don’t miss a chance to try the superlative salt-roasted beets or sweet, yet savory Ambrose Farms radishes. The desserts are equally flamboyant, yet delicate, with the notable standout of an airy beet cremeux. A group effort and an obvious labor of love, anticipate thoughtful, provocative food prepared and served by people who are clearly proud of it. —Vanessa Wolf Dinner (Tues.-Sun.).

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.22.2020

Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) declared that English writer Lord Byron (1788–1824) was the greatest genius of the 19th century. Here’s an interesting coincidence: Byron regarded Goethe as the greatest genius of the 19th century. I bring this to your attention, Aries, in the hope that it will inspire you to create a similar dynamic in your own life during the coming months. As much as possible, surround yourself with people whom you think are wonderful and interesting and enlivening — and who think you are wonderful and interesting and enlivening. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus-born Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) was a renowned German composer who lived most of his life is Germany and Austria. He became so famous and well-respected that England’s Cambridge University offered him an honorary degree if he would visit the campus. But Brahms was too timid to risk crossing the English Channel by boat. (There were no airplanes and Chunnel in those days.) He declined the award. I beg you not to do anything even remotely like that in the coming weeks, Taurus. Please summon the gumption necessary to claim and gather in all you deserve. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be one of those rare times when you can safely engage with influences that might normally rattle you. You’ll be protected as you wander into the unknown and explore edgy mysteries. Your intuition will be highly reliable if you make bold attempts to solve dilemmas that have previously confounded and frustrated you. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to get a bit wild and exploratory, this is it. CANCER (June 21-July 22): J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) is regarded as one of England’s greatest painters. He’s best known for his luminous and imaginative landscapes. His experimental use of light and color influenced the Impressionist painters who came after him. But the weird thing is that after his death, many of his works were lost for decades. In 1939, a famed art historian found over a hundred of them rolled up like tarpaulins in the basement of an art museum. Let’s apply this event as a metaphor for what’s ahead in your life, Cancerian. I suspect that buried or lost elements of your past will soon be rediscovered and restored. I bet it will be fun and illuminating! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my early adult life, I lived below the poverty line for many years. How did that impact me? Here’s one example: I didn’t own a mattress from ages 23 to 39, but rather slept on a two-inch thick foam pad that lay directly on the floor. I’m doing better now, thank you. But my early experiences ensured that I would forever have profound empathy for people who don’t have much money. I hope this will serve as inspiration for you, Leo. The next seven weeks will be the Empathy Building Season for you. The cosmos will reward you if you build your ability to appreciate and understand the pains and joys of other humans. Your compassion will be tonic for both your mental and physical health. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ancient Greek author Theophrastus was a scientist before the concept of “scientist” existed. His writings on botany were influential for hundreds of years after his death. But some of his ideas would be considered unscientific today. For example, he believed that flute music could heal sciatica and epilepsy. No modern research suggests that the charms of the flute can literally cure physical ailments like those. But there is a great deal of evidence that music can help relieve pain, reduce anxiety, reduce the side effects of drugs, assist in physical therapy, and even make you smarter. And my reading of the current astrological omens suggests that the therapeutic effects of music will be especially dramatic for you during the next three weeks. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Learning to love is difficult, and we pay dearly for it,” wrote the serious and somber author Fyodor Dostoevsky. “It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship,” he added. All that’s true, I think. To hone our ability to express

NOTICE OF SALE Docket No. 2019-CP-10-2589

By Rob Brezsny

tenderness and warmth, even when we’re not at our best, is the most demanding task on earth. It requires more courage than that of a soldier in the frenzy of battle, as much imagination as a poet, and diligence equal to that of an architect supervising the construction of a massive suspension bridge. And yet on the other hand — contrary to what Dostoevsky believed — sometimes love is mostly fun and inspiring and entertaining and educational. I suspect that the coming weeks will be one of those phases for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How well do you nurture yourself, dear Scorpio? How diligent are you in providing yourself with the sustenance that ensures your body, mind, and soul will thrive? Are you imaginative in the ways that you keep yourself excited about life? Do you take strong measures to avoid getting attached to mediocre pleasures, even as you consistently hone your focus on the desires that lead you to joy and deep satisfaction? The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to meditate on these questions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Seven books of the Bible’s Old Testament refer to a magical place called Ophir. It was a source of exotic finery and soulful treasures like gold, peacocks, jewels, frankincense, and precious sandalwood. One problem: No one, not even a Biblical scholar, has ever figured out where it was. Zimbabwe? India? Tunisia? Its location is still unknown. I am bringing this to your attention because I suspect that in 2020 there’ll be a good chance you’ll discover and gain access to your own metaphorical Ophir: a fount of interesting, evocative resources. For best results, be primed and eager to offer your own skills and riches in exchange for what this fount can provide to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn filmmaker Steven Soderbergh says it’s crucial for us to have a well-developed story about who we are and what we’re doing with our lives. It’s so important, he feels, that it should be the trigger that flings us out of bed every morning. We’ve got to make our story so vivid and interesting that it continually motivates us in every little thing we do. Soderbergh’s counsel is always good to keep in mind, of course, but it will be even more so for you in the coming months. Why? Because your story will be expanding and deepening, and you’ll need to make the necessary adjustments in how you tell your story to yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m a big fan of self-editing. For example, every horoscope I write evolves over the course of at least three drafts. For each book I’ve published, I have written but then thrown away hundreds of pages that I ultimately deemed weren’t good enough to be a part of the finished text. And yet now and then, I have created a poem or song in one rapid swoop. My artistic artifact is exactly right the first time it flows out of me, with no further tinkering needed. I suspect you’re now entering a phase like that, Aquarius. I’m reminded of poet Allen Ginsberg’s operative principle: “first thought, best thought.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Who don’t you want to be, Pisces? Where don’t you want to go? What experiences are not necessary in your drive to become the person you were born to be? I encourage you to ask yourself questions like those in the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase when you can create long-term good fortune for yourself by knowing what you don’t like and don’t need and don’t require. Explore the positive effects of refusal. Wield the power of saying NO so as to liberate yourself from all that’s irrelevant, uninteresting, trivial, and unhealthy. Homework: I’ve gathered all of the long-term, bigpicture horoscopes I wrote for you in the past few weeks, and bundled them in one place: https://bit.ly/2020BigPicture

pulse JUSTIN OSBORNE GOING “ROGUE” IN FEBRUARY SOLO ACOUSTIC SHOW

An EightTrack Mind

Justin Osborne, singer and songwriter for alternative folk band SUSTO, will perform a solo acoustic show at the Royal American on Fri. Feb. 7. The show, titled Rogue Acoustic, will be recorded for a live album. “When I started touring as SUSTO, it was primarily as a solo artist, just me and my guitar,” Osborne said in a press release. “There was something about the connection I felt with the audience during these shows; it’s different when it’s just you and them. A dialogue starts to develop, and the whole experience takes on the feeling of a good, extensive conversation. To me that’s always been a very special sort of performance, and my goal with Rogue Acoustic is to return to that and capture this type of connection in the best way possible.” Mel Washington and Fleur Geurl will open the show. Tickets are on sale now and will be sold through citypapertickets.com. According to a press release, Osborne will perform songs from all three SUSTO albums (2014’s SUSTO, 2017’s & I’m Fine Today, and 2019’s Ever Since I Lost My Mind) and he will play several new songs. —Heath Ellison

BUNNELL (RIGHT) AND BECKLEY WROTE A STRING OF HITS IN THE ’70S, INCLUDING “A HORSE WITH NO NAME” AND “VENTURA HIGHWAY”

“We were leaning toward keeping ‘A Horse with No Name’ from being used in Grand Theft Auto until Gerry’s youngest son protested.” —Dewey Bunnell

films, and even video games. “It’s always flattering, but sometimes I am taken aback. We were leaning toward keeping ‘A Horse with No Name’ from being used in Grand Theft Auto until Gerry’s youngest son protested,” Bunnell says. It was the strength of the group’s original material that afforded America the opportunity to utilize some of the most interesting people in the business behind the scenes, which in turn led to more and more artistic growth for the band. Working with legendary Los Angeles drummer and band leader Hal Blaine, Bunnell recalls, was one example of an impactful collaboration, albeit one that happened through happenstance. “Our managers at the time were David Geffen and Elliot Roberts and

they set it up. We didn’t even know who the Wrecking Crew were at that age and at that stage of our career. We were oblivious to the world of session musicians. So, that was all part of our ongoing education.” The double-team of producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick, who famously functioned as the Beatles’ two-man hit factory, were also along for the ride at one point. “We had a long, beautiful relationship with them — something like seven projects in all, five which were studio albums of original material, one of remixes created for our initial greatest hits package, plus a live release.” Later on, there were even some noteworthy sessions with James Iha, of Smashing Pumpkins, at the helm. “It was nice to find out that there were a lot of younger musicians who wanted to get involved with us. I was actually coaxed into recording a version of ‘Golden,’ which was written by Jim James from My Morning Jacket. That experience forced me to go outside my comfort zone,” Bunnell says. In his words, the band has seen its share of “peaks and valleys” including the departure of Dan Peek in 1977. Yet things seemed to continued on page 41

Charleston punk band Drunk Couples are back in action with a new record. “Hell Street,” the acoustic first single from new album No Rest, is a sea change for Drunk Couples, a band that’s spent most of their career keeping it loud and fast. According to drummer Andrew Barnes, it’s the mood for the entire EP. Guitarist CJ DeLuca, the primary songwriter for Drunk Couples, composed the tracks for the new EP in 2018. “CJ had a bunch of these dark ballad goth-y folk songs he’s been writing in his spare time, so we took three of them and gave them the ‘full band’ treatment,” Barnes says. The Royal Tinfoil helped put “some extra layers” on the songs shortly before the album was finished. No Rest comes two years after Drunk Couples’ last EP, Way Gone. In that time, band members Andrew Barnes and CJ DeLuca threw themselves into post-hardcore group Florida Man, whose 2019 LP Tropical Depression won praise from several South Carolina publications, including the City Paper. —HE

Amazingly, that’s how long it’s been since folk rock band America’s original members — Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, and Dan Peek — first assembled in ... Great Britain. As Bunnell explains, “The name America came from a lot of little things, but it was mainly to reflect the fact that we were American kids in England, which we felt gave us an edge over some of the British upstarts we were competing against.” The late 1960s and early 1970s were strange days to be teenagers on the loose in London, according to Bunnell. “Being young and out of our element, we really clung to each other over there and we were always running around taking in all kinds of great music together including Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones.” According to Bunnell, it wasn’t long before everything clicked and the trio was sharing the stage with some of those larger than life figures. “We actually opened for Pink Floyd, Elton John, the Who, Traffic, Rod Stewart and the Faces, and Cat Stevens, which was a real learning experience for us. “It’s fair to say that we had to pay some dues along the way, but you couldn’t have asked for any more success than what we had with our first album and single. From there we were able to just continue doing what we do best.” Though he’s had a hand in writing some of the soft rock era’s most enduring songs, including “A Horse with No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” and “Tin Man,” Bunnell remains modest about where these tunes came from. “A lot of my lyrical imagery comes from spending so much time outdoors, but there must be some kind of magical thing that happens, because if there was a formula, everyone who owns a guitar would be following it and writing popular music.” Still, he does find it a bit surreal to hear the band’s classic cuts featured in TV shows,

TALES FROM THE DOOR SIDE | BY REX STICKEL

How to Speak “Don’t Wanna Pay” Plus 10 new year’s resolutions to make Stickel’s life easier Concert goers live in a world they believe to be loud and free. But there is, unheard by most, an outer world, a barrier between in and out, just as loud but not as free as they thought — the world outside a venue, where the door guy simply wants you to pay the cover charge. Welcome to a few nights in the life of Tin Roof’s door dude, Rex Stickel. FRIDAY 9:20 P.M.

A guy is talking to his group of friends that just paid the cover. Guy: “Yeah, so this is one of those chain bars, like the other Tin Roofs.” Me: “Actually, no, it isn’t.” Guy: “Yeah it is, they got one in Columbia, and...” Me: “Not this one.” Guy: “You sure?” 9:40 P.M.

Two guys walk up. Me: “Hello, we have a show tonight. The cover is $7.” Guy: “We have to pay to get in?” Me: “Yes sir … there’s a show tonight … and the $7 cover pays the bands.” Guy: “Well, how do we get in there?” [Points to the patio.] Me: “Easy! It’s a $7 cover.”

THURSDAY 8:07 P.M.

Guy walks up to me and another guest. Me: “You’re with the band tonight, right?” Band Guy: “Yes sir.” Me: “Right on.” Band Guy walks into the venue. Guy: “How’d you know he’s in the band?” Me: “Nobody wears pants that tight on purpose and isn’t in a band.”

FRI, JAN 24 REMEDY 58

9:06 P.M.

Me: “Hello, gentlemen. It’s $5 for the show, and you guys got IDs on you?” Guy: “Really? Me?” Me: “‘Everybody,’ is what my boss tells me to say.” Guy: “I’m just teasing. Because I’m old as fuck.” Me: “We’re all on our way.”

I promise to look slightly up and to the left at the marquee to see which bands are playing and won’t throw a fit when the doorman can’t recite them from memory. 6. I promise to adhere to the NO PARKING signs as opposed to explaining to me you’ve “parked there before” or “I didn’t think that meant me.” 7. I promise not to heckle comedians because if I really thought I was that funny I should have signed up to get on stage. 8. I promise not to sign up for open mic comedy if my “set” includes the phrase “on the recent Joe Rogan podcast.” 9. I promise no matter how enticing it may seem, I will not ask for verification if you actually work here, despite every other person showing you ID and paying you the cover. 10. Eat more vegetables.

INDIE SPACE-ROCK | SESH

w/ Charlie Farren Wed. Jan. 22 8 p.m. $55 - $79.50 Charleston Music Hall

Whether by accident or design, singer/guitarist Justin Sardinha of the Greenville band SESH has thematically divided up the material on the group’s first three EPs, all of which have been released in the space of a year. The first, Anomie, was recorded by Sardinha alone, and so almost by definition, it’s stripped-down and largely acoustic. The second EP, somewhat confusingly called I, is the first full-band release, bringing in drummer Brandon Gallagher and bassist/keyboardist Andre Van Parys. It mixes heavy, distorted riffs with atmospheric production (courtesy of Van Parys) and Gallagher’s balls-to-the-wall drumming. Their new EP, II, takes the tight song structures of their previous release and adds a little space-rock to the mix. “This one is a little more psychedelic,” Sardinha says. “It gets pretty spacey. That’s the kind of music that was always what I’ve listened to.” Sardinha is quick to point out, however, that there’s a difference between space-rock and jam-rock. “We’re not super jammy,” he says, “but we like to get a little out there.” What’s interesting about the evolution of Sardinha’s songs is that they were all written around the same time, and Gallagher’s drum tracks were recorded at the same time. The only difference is in what the trio added on afterwards. “Brandon and I have worked together a lot,” Sardinha says, “and we give each other feedback and go back and forth, so he helps me tweak things a good bit, and Andre adds some polish to it all. He typically adds something and I’m like, ‘Oh, shit, that’s perfect.’ ” —Vincent Harris FRIDAY

Founding Three Dog Night vocalist and songwriter Danny Hutton always had a knack for finding great material from other not yet widely known writers like Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, and Hoyt Axton. He credits this to “good instincts” about the business. For example, he told the City Paper that he became a Fab Four aficionado early on in their career. “Kim Fowley actually brought Jack Nietzsche — Phil Spector’s arranger — and Jackie DeShannon up to my house to learn about the Beatles,” Hutton recalls. That sort of savvy paid off in a big way when Three Dog Night launched a few years later. During its heyday in the late ’60s and early ’70s, the group enjoyed a long string of Top 40 hits including “Joy to the World,” “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” and “One.” Incredibly, after 50-plus years of hitting the road, each night of performing is still special to Hutton. “That’s what it’s all about,” he says, adding that, “we want to serve the audience and give them an amazing experience every time.” In Hutton’s view, the band sounds better than ever playing the fan favorites, of which there are many. “We did just finish a brand new album, so after that’s released we may put in a new song or two if it seems right,” but for this week’s Charleston show, you can count on hearing all the classics. —Kevin Wilson WEDNESDAY

HIP-HOP | Tazz Majesty As the venue has done many times before, the Royal American is bringing a new artist to one of Charleston’s most popular musical stages. Columbia native and College of Charleston graduate Tazz Majesty was recently signed to Real South Records and kicked off 2020 by dropping one of the Holy City’s most energized rap songs in recent memory. The show at the Royal American is technically a single release show for “Movin’ Too Fast,” but after a couple of weeks the single already needs no introduction. It’s a club-ready, confident track that leaves a lot of room for excitement for what Majesty will do in her career. After listening, it’s hard to believe that this is her debut. If the hype from “Movin’ Too Fast” wasn’t enough to convince hip-hop fans to flock to Royal, Majesty is bringing Walter Brown and Abstract that Rapper with her. That veteran support is sure to be exciting and fun as always, but the night is going to be all about the most exciting new face in Charleston hip-hop. —Alex Peeples THURSDAY

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK | Ian Ferguson Ian Ferguson is doing music his own way, although it took him many roads to get here. Growing up in a small town west of Nashville, he and his friends succeeded with their band the Kingston Springs, named after their hometown. But, after being offered and then turning down a major record label, the band members decided to go their own ways — and Ferguson’s way led him to a unique solo career. Last year was a big one for the psychedelic, melodic rock musician. He debuted his first solo album, State of Gold, whose release marked the beginning of a highly anticipated solo journey. The album has beautiful lyrics, relatable emotion, and distinct melodies with each individual song. There is a certain grittiness to the album, which could be a product of the way Ferguson put it together. Rather than relying on a recording studio and a producer, he found inspiration in solitude — and in a basement. Ferguson did all the recording, mixing, and instrumentation himself, producing an album solely from his own personality and skill. His story mimics many garage bands, while sounding more inspired by the Beatles or Bob Dylan. Sometimes the best creations come out when you let yourself do things your own way and in your own time. —Abrie Richison FRIDAY
