news & Opinion Editor’s Note

by Jim Morekis

jim@connectsavannah.com

IN ALL the discussion of race in local politics, one fact that usually goes unmentioned is that our current Mayor and City Council majority largely represent the first generation of African American leadership in Savannah. While our first black City Alderman was elected in the ‘70s, we didn’t see black political power really coalesce here until long after many other Southern cities. In keeping with our perennial behindthe-curve nature, Savannah was over

Whatever happens this November, this dynamic new perspective signals a determined break with the status quo—a status quo whose main “achievement” thus far has been retaining the same stunningly high poverty rate for the last 30 or so years. It also signals a welcome break from another tired old dynamic: The apparent need for every local election to boil down to black vs. white. In a solidly majority African American city, the healthiest development is for the black community to foster and nurture young leaders able and willing to step up and challenge not only the white establishment, but the black establishment as well. With City Council challengers like Det-

by Pastor Clarence “Teddy” Williams. Lo and behold, pastor and “consultant” Williams endorses every single City Council incumbent. He even uses the official City of Savannah government logo on his printed material! The only non-incumbent Williams’s group endorses is Brian Foster, who’s running for the open Alderman at Large seat vacated by Tom Bordeaux. Significantly, however, Mr. Foster is closely associated with the Chamber of Commerce and the Savannah Economic Development Authority—two organizations most allied with Savannah’s oldguard white business establishment.

This is the first time Savannah is seeing a new generation of young African American candidates and activists aggressively challenge older black leadership. 20 years behind Atlanta in getting our own first African American mayor, Floyd Adams Jr. in 1995. Every black Savannah mayor—Adams, Otis Johnson, and incumbent Edna Jackson—represents the older generation which fought the original battles for civil rights back in the day. But time has passed. Most of the young men now being shot dead on the streets of Savannah—such as 19-year-old Javon Wilson and Asim Simmons, murdered this past Saturday on the Westside—were born during the Adams administration. First-generation black elected officials like Mayor Jackson grew up seeing segregation up close and personal. New young black leaders grew up with a different kind of trauma: Friends and family members gunned down in the streets, in their own often drug-ravaged neighborhoods. While certainly no one is suggesting that segregated water fountains are preferable to the challenges of life on the street today, the most significant development of this year’s City elections is this is the first time Savannah is seeing a new generation of African American candidates and activists aggressively challenge older black leadership. They both respect the accomplishments of their elders while at the same time saying to them…. maybe it’s time for you to step aside. Maybe long past time.

ric Leggett, taking on Osborne in District 2, and Shaundra Smith McKeithen, taking on Estella Shabazz in District 5, we are seeing this new look take shape in real time. (Making the generational divide even more stark: Mrs. Shabazz is married to an honest to goodness Black Panther, County Commissioner Yusuf Shabazz. Talk about outdated old-school rhetoric from the past.) Key to the challenge from these new black leaders—and I simply cannot stress enough what a huge development this is —they are now calling out the age-old corruption involving local black pastors selling political influence. The involvement of black churches in politics is not a new story by any means, nor is it one exclusive to Savannah. But it usually seems a bit distasteful and not a little hypocritical for white people to point it out. As the recent case of the homophobic gay marriage-denying Kim Davis in Kentucky shows, white people are in no position to point fingers about situations where church and state collide. Both Leggett and McKeithen point out particularly egregious, longstanding practices such as local black pastors accepting “contributions”—contributions which in turn seem to translate into political endorsements to their congregations. McKeithen posted on her Facebook page an endorsement slate from a consulting firm called the Trigon Group, which is run

In other words, these allegedly pay-toplay endorsements—in effect, laundered through holding companies so as not to jeopardize the church’s tax-exempt status —seem to have the primary purpose of maintaining the status quo above all. We have a word for that: Corruption. To be fair, many disenfranchised groups throughout history have vectored politics through the church because often that’s the only available avenue. For example, my own Greek heritage shows me that during the centuries-long Turkish occupation of Greece – during which Greek citizens had little to no voice in their own country– the Greek Orthodox Church became the de facto power in the Greek community, with priests being politicians in all but name. (Greeks today often joke that nothing has changed in that regard.) So this is not to point the finger at churches, nor at African Americans. It’s pointing the finger at corruption. Selling endorsements is the very definition of corruption, and it’s never wrong to point that out. And it’s never too late to try and change things for the better. cs The deciding factor, as always, is will people show up to vote for change? A new generation is betting that you will. In any case, their time is here. cs

Keep on (food) truckin’ By Jessica Leigh Lebos

jll@connectsavannah.com

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

It is the stuff drooling dreams are made of: Sriracha-soaked barbecue on a stick. Lobster rolls dripping in butter. Mexican Korean short rib tacos so delicious they have more Twitter followers than certain Kardashians. Such culinary creativity, so many tantalizing possibilities, served fast and hot and handed out a window on wheels. And we can dispense with all that napkin-on-thelap nonsense, ‘cause we’re gonna scarf it all down standing up. Then there are the punny names: Basic

Kneads Pizza (Denver), Truck U BBQ (Las Vegas), and my personal favorite, Ms. Cheezious Grilled Cheese (Miami). Oh, dear gourmet gods, how we love food trucks. Or at least the idea of them, anyway. While cities like Portland and Philly have seen up to a 200 percent increase in rolling restaurants in the last two years, Savannah has been thus far deprived of this travelling gastronomic goodness. That could change very soon: Last week the City of Savannah rolled out a draft of a new mobile food service ordinance that establishes parameters for operating food trucks, including permitting, licensing and possible locations. But don’t stock up on heartburn meds just yet. The ordinance is very much still in dough form; the ingredients are there, but it ain’t even half baked. Drawing from regulations in Austin, Raleigh and other foodie-friendly towns, city staffers have prepared a raw doc that allows food trucks to operate in certain areas on private property as long as they’re at least 200 feet from a residential dwelling or a brick-andmortar restaurant. There’s a tentative map floating around that excludes almost the entire historic district, and the amount of food trucks

would be limited to two per acre and max of four per location. It’s a recipe that admittedly needs a lot of testing. “We had to start somewhere,” reminds Citizen Office Director Susan Broker. “We haven’t written a perfect ordinance. We’re looking for input.” To help beef up—or water down—some of the proposed rules and allowed locales, Broker and reps from the city’s zoning, revenue and health departments are hosting a series of forums on what’s appears to be the season’s spiciest topic. (Can anyone else recall another issue that warranted NINE public meetings? Maybe if someone were to drive a burrito truck over to the Eastside, the folks getting their neighborhoods shot up might get some attention?) No doubt, food trucks are serious business: The $1.2 billion industry is expanding like an overstuffed shwarma, and pop-up events like the Savannah Food Truck Festival have locals salivating for more. They also present a nuisance to established restaurants, which must abide by regulations more stringent than the proposed mobile ordinance and pay property taxes that far exceed the $150 city license fee. The competition adds to the stress of high rents and the proposed minimum wage increase.

“No restaurant owner wants to wake up and find a food truck parked outside their brick-and-mortar,” explains Mike Vaquer, representing the Georgia Restaurant Association and the Savannah Restaurant Owners Group. “The proposed $150 fee is woefully inadequate. We just want a level playing field.” (Dang, if he’d said “leavened” we could keep the tasty puns going!) Vaquer also warns that anything passed by the City of Savannah must conform to the extremely complex state rules: “Ultimately, the Georgia Food Code is the driver.” Local grub mogul Brian Huskey, whose Gaslight Group empire includes B. Matthews, the 5 Spot, Abe’s on Lincoln and Blowin’ Smoke, isn’t opposed to food trucks, but he’s felt the dent in business on St. Patrick’s Day, when vendors often set up hot dog and coffee stands nearby. “I’d hate to have something like that happen every day,” says Huskey. “But if this goes through, I’ll definitely consider buying one.” He’d like to see food trucks corralled to a specific area like the old Sears parking lot or the roundabout at Daffin Park and perhaps move around around throughout the month, though he

admonishes the profit-skewering dangers of overregulation. Others scoff that a field of unmoving food trucks is essentially a restaurant trailer park and continue to root for some kind of food truck presence in the alreadycrowded downtown corridor. Ellis Square was redesigned to accommodate a farmers market and vendor stalls, though the late night tinderbox of a bunch of drunk, hangry people waiting on a gawdamn fancy taco is a concern. And who really wants to slurp an oyster po’ boy with a carriage horse’s flank six inches from their face? Like most good ideas around here, this crowdsourced ordinance will probably be beaten with a wet soba noodle until almost no one is happy. But it should, at the very least, give entrepreneurs like SFTF director Ryan Giannoni a piece of the quiche. (Omg, sorry, I can’t stop.) Giannoni owns three food trucks under the umbrella company Savannah Street Eats that he keeps cookin’ for catering gigs and special events, with a fourth on the way. He’s happy that he’d be able to vend in some of the food-deserted neighborhoods on the proposed map, though he’d like to have an opportunity to park downtown for a spell. “When you look at cities where food trucks thrive, they do best in high foot traffic areas,” says the gourmet burger/taco/

grilled cheese peddler. “But we’ll take what we can get. The city is putting a lot of time and effort into this, and we just want to put these trucks to work.” He’s not alone: There are an estimated 4,000 food trucks operating in the U.S. and they’re touted as the hippest, hottest way for entrepreneurs to get in on the food service game with a relatively low investment and overhead. Turns out that’s a bit of spun sugar. Every food truck must be tied to a “base of operations,” a licensed and approved commissary kitchen where food and materials are cleaned and kept, which adds expense and red tape. There’s also the matter of whether there’s enough demand for your pressed Portobello paninis. “People saw the movie Chef and have these starry-eyed notions of making a million dollars with a truck and a Twitter feed,” chuckles one local restaurant consultant. “The reality is that there’s barely enough lunchtime business downtown to keep established restaurants afloat.” But that won’t stop the dreamers from firing up the steamers. Maybe when it’s all fried and done, Savannah’s new food truck ordinance will protect our existing businesses while carving out a new economic sector on the food scene. Can’t we have the whole empañada and eat it, too? cs

Savannah Soundings all set for its first broadcast this month by jessica leigh lebos

It’s been almost a year since Savannah Soundings received its FCC license, and community radio station WCUU is ready to launch. Forms have been completed. Funds have been raised. The mixing board and the microphones are in place. All that’s left is the small matter of installing the antenna on the shared tower on the western edge of town, a task that will take another $15,000 to complete. Once the riggers match the wires, WCUU will begin broadcasting its mix of talk and music at 107.5 on the FM dial. Savannah Soundings’ eager sponsors have already kicked in another few thou, and the group hopes to garner the last bit of capital at an open house telethon this Sunday, Sept. 20. “It could go as quickly as a month, but definitely by the end of the year,” assures (L. to R.)

College Sex: What you want to know A Straight Dope classic

In a debate about monogamy, I observed that college students, and young people in general, tended to be more promiscuous early in life and settled down later. My comrade said that was a myth popularized by the media and cited a source to the effect that college people were quite monogamous. So which is it? - Mike Thorne, Intercourse, Alabama IF YOU merely mean that people in their carefree twenties have more sex partners and for that matter more sex (i.e., any) than they do after acquiring spouses and mortgages, the answer is: of course, what else would you expect? On the other hand, perhaps your comrade has been browsing in the Oxford English Dictionary, which defines promiscuous as “undiscriminating in sexual relations . . . characterized by frequent changes of sexual partner.” In short, he thinks the question isn’t whether college students get laid

somewhat more often than their elders, but whether they’ll screw anything with a pulse. Generally speaking the answer seems to be no, but with an asterisk. Let’s look at the general population age 20-24, whose sexual habits have been studied with devotion by the Centers for Disease Control. Within this group, 12 percent of women have never had oppositesex sexual contact; 5 percent have, but not in the last year; 58 percent have had one sexual partner in that time; 14 percent have had two; and 10 percent have had three or more. Men’s responses break down similarly, which is surprising given the male propensity to lie: 14 percent have never had heterosexual sex; 6 percent have but not recently; 50 percent have had one partner in the last year; 12 percent have had two; and 16 percent three or more. Other interesting tidbits for your voyeuristic pleasure: nearly one in three women have had anal sex and one in six a same-sex encounter by the time they’re 24. Men report about the same number in the hetero anal sex department, but far fewer acknowledge same-sex experiences-just 6 percent. Conclusion #1: Even as kids, most of us lead sedate sexual lives, with only a minority getting a lot of action. Hardly

the impression you get from our salivating media, which leads us to conclusion #2: Sex-at least of the rambunctious variety-is largely a spectator sport. But you asked about college students. Turning to this subset we find: • The 2008 National College Health Assessment found 13 percent of women and 18 percent of men having three or more sexual partners, same- or oppositesex, in the previous year, in line with the CDC’s general-population figures. However, only 24 percent of male and 19 percent of female college students had had anal sex, rates significantly lower than the CDC found. What does this tell us? Beats me. • Going way back, the New England Journal of Medicine tracked the sexual lives of women students 1975-1989 and found the number who’d had one or fewer sexual partners in the previous year ranged from 58-63 percent, with little change over time. But partner quantity increased significantly-the number of college women who’d had only one sexual partner decreased by half, while the number who’d had two to five partners increased by 29 percent. • A 2004 University of Pennsylvania study of a collegiate crowd found men on average had had a little over four partners

of either sex, while women had under three, about the same numbers as in the general population. Given these unimpressive numbers, one may ask whence comes the belief that college life is a nonstop orgy. Hollywood bears much of the blame, but another factor may be the collegiate phenomenon known as a hookup-a casual sexual encounter not necessarily ending in intercourse, which has replaced that obsolete ritual the date. A survey of 555 northeastern college students found 78 percent had had at least one hookup, although only 30 percent led to intercourse. Less than one in eight had a hookup evolve into a long-term relationship. Another study of 382 college students found 37 percent had most recently hooked up for sex with a stranger or someone they hardly knew, and one in five was cheating on a current partner. So promiscuitywise, we relics can take comfort in knowing that while college students may not be outdoing us in terms of quantity, what sex they do have, by and large, is just as cheap. cs

Investigators seek to locate Emile Randolph, 32, and Shawn Rhinehart, 20, in reference to the shooting that occurred on the 1400 block of Barnes Drive. Javon Wilson, 19, and Asim Simmons, 19, “were waiting to sell a cellular phone outside of a nearby apartment building. The two men were approached at gunpoint by at least two subjects. Shots rang out, hitting both victims, as they attempted to defend themselves,” police say. Wilson and a third shooting victim identified as Jayquan Turner, 24, were pronounced dead at the scene. Simmons was transported by ambulance to Memorial University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

“The public’s help is requested in locating Randolph and Rhinehart. Randolph is a black male who stands 6-6 and weighs 225 pounds. He may be driving a burgundy Pontiac Grand Prix with Indiana license plate number 116LBN. Rhinehart is a black male who stands 5-11 and weighs 155 pounds. Both are known to frequent west Savannah,” police say.

news & Opinion News of the weird A Paper Drone

The Federal Aviation Administration recently granted (likely for the first time ever) an application to fly a paper airplane. Prominent drone advocate Peter Sachs had applied to conduct commercial aerial photography with his “aircraft” (a Tailor Toys model with a tiny propeller and maximum range of 180 feet), and the agency, concerned with air traffic safety, accommodated by treating the request (unironically?) under the rules for manned flights (that, among other restrictions, Sachs must not exceed 100 mph and must engage a licensed airplane pilot to fly it). “With this grant,” said the “victorious” Sachs, “the FAA has abandoned all logic and sensibility.”

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

-- Because temperatures were in the high 90s the last weekend in August, tourists visiting the historical Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland were greeted by the outdoor sprinkler system dousing them near the gates. It was intended as relief, said operators, to keep guests from fainting, but, as one Israeli visitor said, “It was a punch to the gut” -- too reminiscent of Auschwitz’s gas chamber. (Jewish prisoners had been marched calmly to their deaths under the pretense that they were only being taken for showers.) -- DIY dentistry seemed off-limits -until amateur orthodontia got a boost from a 2012 YouTube video in which Shalom DeSota, now 17, praised rubber bands for teeth-straightening. DeSota’s family lacked dental insurance at the time, so the would-be actress experimented by looping rubber bands around two front teeth she wanted to draw together. Many painful days later, she succeeded. The American Association of Orthodontists expressed alarm in August at the video’s recent popularity. So much could go wrong -- infection, gum-tearing, detachment between tooth and gums -- that DeSota, the organization said, had simply been lucky.

A thief grabbed the purse of an elderly woman shopping with her husband at a Fred Meyer store in Spokane, Washington, on July 23 and fled through a parking lot. They had no chance to catch the man, but he happened to run right by hospital nurse Heidi Muat, 42, who surmised the situation and started after him. The thief quickly saw that Muat could outrun him, and he gave up the purse, which Muat returned to the couple.

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

The city’s bustling with college students’ return, there’s a briskness in the night air, and, as you stroll downtown, the sounds of trombones, guitars, and drums waft on that gentle and so desperately anticipated evening breeze. It’s the annual Jazz Festival, marking that wonderful time of year cozied between summer and hectic October, launching “festival season” as we know it here in the Lowcountry. For absolutely free, any and everyone can head to Forsyth Park with a blanket, lawn chair, and picnic basket to experience first-rate jazz, blues, and fusion live and in person. With its democratic, communal nature, it’s one of Savannah’s best-loved cultural events, a tradition for many locals and a boon to the tourism industry. “You go out and look at the crowd, the Jazz Festival cuts across all demographic lines,” observes Skip Jennings, Coastal Jazz Association (CJA) board member. “From Hitch Village to The Landings, people love the Jazz Festival! Walk through the crowd, and you’ll see a very diverse group of people.” This year’s roster is as varied and delightful as ever, with six full days of entertainment for the whole family. Fans of the Hammond B3 organ sound will want to check out Tony Monaco’s performance. “Tony Monaco’s about the hottest thing out there on the Hammond B3 organ,” Jennings praises. This year’s guest of honor is undoubtedly Fred Wesley, an American legend best known for his work with James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic. “He’s like, the funk trombonist, and that’s what he’s really known for,” explains Jennings. “He’s done mostly funk stuff, played with Dr. John and other people… he’s also a hell of a jazz payer, too. Just a capital guy, too, nice as he could be—just a really warm, nice human being, and a music legend, too.” Young blues king Jarekus Singleton, undoubtedly one of the most exciting performers at this year’s Savannah Music Festival, returns for another great show; his spirited riffs are dance-ready and contagiously fun. Despite a fresh roster of talent, 2015’s festival brings some changes. “It’s usually three nights in the park, and we’re cutting it down from being in the park to being in the Mansion,” Jennings 16 says.

“We’d usually be doing four acts, starting at 6—this year, we’re only doing three acts, starting at 7. Same thing Friday—Friday Night Jazz in the Park, we’re doing four acts this year instead of three.” Every year, the City of Savannah grants the Coastal Jazz Association $5,000 for the outdoor performances; the organization has to match it. This year, they didn’t make it. “We’re trying to put on a happy face,” says Jennings. “The problem is, we’ve just had trouble getting enough funding within the community.” “It’s a bit smaller, but a whole lot less expensive,” he says, looking on the bright side. “When you start adding up all these costs—we say this every year—it’s free to come, but takes a lot of money to put on the festival.” Major changes in Savannah, both culturally and economically, have impacted the festival’s ability to match the City’s donation. “There’s not as much money coming from industry,” Jennings explains, “because there’s not much local in terms of industry as there used to be.” The loss of bassist Ben Tucker, killed in a traffic collision in 2013, has drastically changed things, as well. CJA wouldn’t exist without Tucker—the Association was actually conceived after Tom and Connie Glasser, Judy Lancaster, Isadore Karpf, Randy Reese, Bruce Spradley and trombonist Teddy Adams attended a jazz appreciation course taught by the legendary local. “It’s been two and a half years since Ben died,” Jennings says. “He had a lot of connections, and everyone loved him. He was able to raise money. We’re not able to replace Ben.” Jennings encourages businesses and

individuals to support year-round programming and the 2016 Jazz Festival. “If you own a business, we would love to have you be a part of the Jazz Festival,” he says. “Sponsor the festival, sponsor an act, buy an ad in the program.” Members of the Coastal Jazz Association are granted free entry to concerts throughout the year. At $50 a year for individuals and $75 a year for couples, that’s a great deal to catch twelve months of worldclass jazz performances. “We would love to see more businesses step up and get involved with us, supporting us,” Jennings says. “This whole event promotes good feelings among everyone in Savannah in a way that very few other things do.” cs

Savannah Children’s Choir’s decade of diversity

Vienna Boys Choir, Night at the Opera events are part of tenth anniversary celebration

by jim morekis

jim@connectsavannah.com

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

OVER THE last ten years, the Savannah Children’s Choir has quietly become one of the most effective nonprofits in the area. In a time when more people are finally waking up to the need to mentor schoolchildren so they choose a positive path in life, the Choir has a solid record of doing just that for a decade—while also making beautiful music for appreciative crowds. They celebrate their tenth anniversary season with a series of marquee events this fall, including the return of the Vienna Boys Choir in an October performance. Founded in 2005 by Roger Moss and Cuffy Sullivan, the Children’s Choir is in many ways the model for a lean, outcomefocused cultural organization neither overly dependent on big corporate sponsors nor heavy taxpayer subsidy. “What initially started as providing music education has become music education as a means to teach life lessons,” Moss says. “We are intentionally diverse—that’s a 18 phrase I like to use a lot. Because of that,

we’ve been able to provide opportunities for a variety of Savannah’s children.” Moss says one impetus for the expanded scope came from their experience attending children’s choir conferences across the U.S. “What we’re seeing across the country is children’s choirs are similar to traveling soccer teams—almost all white and affluent. We didn’t fully realize that until we started going to conferences.” The Savannah Children’s Choir today features singers from a wide variety of backgrounds and all income levels—“rich to poor and everything in between,” Moss says. While those with greater needs are specifically welcomed, the Choir bucks liberal orthodoxy in that the group isn’t purely needs-based—there is a strict academic requirement both to enter and to stay in. The kids have to maintain a B average in school to stay in the Choir. For its part, the organization provides free tutoring. “Our track record with getting kids into Savannah Arts Academy is 100 percent. Everyone who has auditioned has gotten in. Our college admission rate is 98 percent,” Moss says.

“The hook is if ‘I want to stay in choir this is what I have to do.’ And it works.” Another huge accomplishment over the last decade for the Savannah Children’s Choir is that “we’ve operated in the black for ten years straight!” Moss says with one of his trademark infectious booming laughs.

Both naturally gregarious, optimistic, and funny, Moss and Sullivan have proven to be an extremely effective duo, reinforcing each other’s strengths. “I’m sort of the face of the organization, and Cuffy is basically the most organized person in the world,” Moss jokes.

The conversation with parents is about the end result. “We’ll give them a self-assured, creative, responsible kid,” Moss says. “I mean, I didn’t go to Europe in the sixth grade!” The teachers are as diverse as the children. “This past summer we had one Hispanic intern and five main teachers, two of whom were African-American,” says Moss. “You really have to work at the whole intentional diversity thing. What you find about groups is they’re usually one of two things: They’re either intentionally diverse or unintentionally exclusive,” Moss says. “What that means for a choir is we can’t wait for a variety of kids and parents to come to us. We have to come to them. We are going into schools and handing out vouchers.” The other challenge is attracting boys to sing in the Choir. “That’s a whole different language,” Moss jokes. In part to help attract boys, the Choir has an ongoing relationship with bass/ baritone opera singer Keith Miller, who before he became a rising star performing at The Met was starting fullback at the University of Colorado and later a professional arena football player. “It takes things to a new level for the boys when they see this incredible athlete who is able to sing like that,” Moss says. cs

Besides singing and good grades, another key component of a child’s experience in the Choir is travel. “We travel a lot, and when we do overseas travel our kids get exposure to wherever we’re doing. When we went to Italy we taught them some basic Italian. We went to Prague and had a local student come teach them some basic Czech phrases,” he says. “It builds confidence. It gives a worldview that’s outside Savannah, Ga.” Moss cites the example of a recent Choir trip to Atlanta, where they had a side trip to the new Center for Civil and Human Rights in Centennial Olympic Park. The children took turns sitting at one of the Center’s most notable and controversial offerings: a facsimile of a lunch counter in the ‘60s, where you can sit, put on headphones, and hear the verbal abuse sit-in protestors experienced while trying to integrate eating establishments. “What was so powerful is we told the children one of the reasons we’re here is we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. I told them, ‘My parents couldn’t vote.’ The look on the children’s faces was like, what? What do you mean they couldn’t vote?” Moss says. “And the kids started asking questions. It was great.” The choir’s “life lessons” also drill down into areas as specific as fundraising. “We don’t sell candy,” Moss laughs. “They sell ads in our program book. They receive sales training. They’re killing it this year! They’re actually making appointments and selling. A few even made promotional videos. These kids take it very seriously.” The typical audition process for Savannah Children’s Choir actually takes place during its annual summer camp. “The summer camp is our audition,” says Moss. “There’s a culture we establish at summer camp. It is a culture of excellence. Not just well, I’ll get by.” Sullivan conducts the audition work at the boot camp, where “they not only learn to sight read, they learn how to walk into a room and how to interview, down to what they’re going to wear,” Moss says.

#StattsFest2015

Music community gathers to support one of their own Jason Statts: Same as always—I like skulls, making up weird creatures, things like that. Aliens, weird stuff. I paint pretty pictures, but I don’t really care about being an artiste or anything—I like to make things I like to look at.

by anna chandler

anna@connectsavannah.com

On June 28, 2008, Jason Statts and Dave Williams were shot in an armed robbery while unloading gear after their band, sürt {the destroyer}, played their first show. Statts was shot in the neck; Williams in the throat. Bassist Statts was paralyzed from the chest down immediately, and Williams has one paralyzed vocal cord. Statts has told the story many times; seven years later, he’s done rehashing that night. It’s well-documented by everyone from local publications to Decibel magazine, the heavy music Bible that published Statts’ story in his own words two years ago. Though unable to work, Statts is a gifted visual artist and writes album reviews for About Entertainment. Time alters memories, particularly painful ones, but medical bills tower, despite government assistance. That’s why, once a year, the beloved Statts gets his own holiday: Statts Fest, a celebration of rock ‘n’ roll, art, community, and the man himself. All funds raised by Friends of Statts, an organization formed shortly after the shooting, go directly toward his medical and living expenses. We spoke with Statts about the fest, metal, and his darkly beautiful visual art. He only gets out of the house once in a while, but he’s excited to be at The Jinx on Saturday, catching up with friends and enjoying an incredible lineup. Statts Fest tends to come at the end of a violent summer—often, your story is told in that context. Is it taxing, living that over and over? Jason Statts: Yeah. At this point it’s been seven years, so I just want to stop telling the story, basically. If people want, they go can go back and find it. The more I tell it, the less descriptive it is…I don’t know, it changes over time. It’s become convoluted.

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

Decibel ran your story in 2013 and it blew up. What kind of opportunities did that create?

Jason Statts: I met a lot of new people in the metal community. People that read the piece were just really nice and understanding. A lot of people wrote me and told me their stories and stuff like that; it was really cool. Is that around when you started reviewing for About’s metal site?

How long does it take to complete a painting, working on the tablet? Your work is very detailed. Jason Statts: It’s definitely a lot of pointing and clicking. I think the thing I’m working on now…it’s probably been about 20 hours. I’m spending way too much time on it! It’s about five by seven inches. A shot from one of the first StattsFests, with Jason at center. Photo geoff L. Johnson

What is your favorite aspect of Statts Fest?

Jason Statts: Yeah, that all came about right at the same time after [the Decibel piece] was published.

Jason Statts: I guess just the support of everyone and seeing everyone all in one day all together—that’s really cool. And it’s still unbelievable that people are still doing it, it’s so far after the event, you know? I don’t like to say accident, because it wasn’t really an accident.

changing; it’s more psych rock now than metal. I like that.

How’d that happen?

What kind of art have you been working on lately?

Jason Statts: I think I just wrote to About, to Chad Bowar, the editor. I said I’d like to write him some stuff, and he said okay. I sent some old reviews from when I worked for The Chronicle at SCAD; he liked some of those and let me go ahead, so that’s cool.

Jason Statts: It was my first day recently, and I just got a tablet, a new Wacom, and I’ve been painting digitally again, and that’s been really fun. I just feel more inspired now—it’s just fun again instead of just making marks with an iPad. I can go in and really paint.

Have you reviewed anything recently that’s really stuck out to you?

What programs are you using?

Jason Statts: There’s so many that come through; one thing I’ve been listening to a lot is called Zebras. They’re really good— it’s kind of like Slayer mixed with punk rock. And they don’t have a bass player, they have a girl playing, like, ambient, weird noises for the bass parts and it works out really well. It’s really neat. What records do you think every fan of heavy music have in their collection? Jason Statts: There’s so much. As far as the regular things, Reign in Blood, of course. That’s a hard question for me! I like so many different, weird things. Some metal people might not think I actually mean metal; I have such eclectic, weird taste, that’s really hard for me. But definitely Slayer and some Metallica—old Metallica. Recommendations for 2015 releases? Jason Statts: I’m not sure when Kylesa’s last record came out, but the new one’s about to come out. I like how they’re

What does the Friends of Statts organization mean to you, personally?

Jason Statts: Mainly Photoshop; sometimes I’ll use Illustrator to bring in certain things, if I need something to be precise. I don’t have a lot of hand control still.

Jason Statts: It’s really crazy—it came about pretty much right after I got shot. I think there was one benefit that I didn’t make it to, and that was the first one, and it was kind of unofficial. Then after that, the second year, that’s when they came together and started Friends of Statts. It’s just mind-blowing that people would even care.

Is your process different, working digitally?

What acts are you looking forward to this year at the event?

Jason Statts: Not really—I’m pretty old school. I still use collage type of stuff and repaint over that, or whatever I need to do. But coming from the iPad, it’s been easy on the tablet, and I had one before I got shot, and I used it a lot. It’s relatively easy. I have a little trouble holding the pen in my hand, but I found a way, and I can actually do it with enough pressure. It’s worked out well—technology has been good.

Jason Statts: Always the headliner—this year is Black Tusk, and that’s cool, I love those guys. Just all day, I’m looking forward to everything and everyone. cs

Yeah, it’s wild how far things have come just in a few years for digital art.

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

Last year’s Lunchtime Series at Trinity United Methodist Church was one of the freshest musical ideas Savannah’s seen in a while. Borrowing a page from European tradition, the church opens its doors to the music lovers every fall Thursday at noon: cut out for your lunch break, grab a spot in a pew, catch a riveting half-hour performance, grab a coffee or lemonade, and head back to the office with time to spare. This year, Trinity’s Music Director Jared Hall and Andrew Jay Ripley are introducing a new take on lunchtime performances. By pairing up unlikely Savannah musicians and asking them to create a half-hour set together, lunchtime just got far more interesting. First up in the series is Adam Intrator (Triathalon, Hawaiin Boi) and legendary bassist Eric “Big E” Moore (Voodoo Soup, Fellowship of Love, and more). With Intrator’s soulful, R&B-inspired solo work and Big E’s incredible chops, this special kickoff show isn’t to be missed. “As an extension of our Trinity Sanctuary Concerts and Thursday Night Opry, this Lunchtime Concert Series hopes to support and foster the development of arts in downtown Savannah, while not only providing music and arts in this historic downtown church sanctuary, but also supporting working musicians and artists with opportunities to perform,” Hall says. “This series also gives artists a platform to experiment with new ideas and collaborations with other musicians and colleagues. We hope it will help enhance music listening opportunities for members of the Savannah community and visitors.” Thursday, September 17, 12 p.m.

Diarrhea Planet

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

Diarrhea Planet @The Jinx

Hands down, Diarrhea Planet’s Stopover gig was one of the festival’s alltime best. Upgraded from their 2013 Taco Abajo fest gig to The Jinx headlining stage, the room was packed as packed as the stage itself, as the Nashville band’s six members and army of guitars rocked in unison and thrilled the house. The stage upgrade was a necessity, seeing as how the band’s gained a ferocious following in the past couple of years: it’s a notoriously joyous live show, appealing to fans of classic rock, metal, power-pop, punk, and folks who just love good, solid entertainment. Diarrhea Planet had such a good time at Stopover, they’re heading back to The Jinx on their massive fall tour. Athens punk scorchers Burns Like Fire join the bill. Get there early—this one’s guaranteed to sell out. Thursday, September 17, doors at 9 p.m., bands at 10 p.m., $10

David Liebe Hart @The Wormhole

Comedian/writer/puppeteer David Liebe Hart became a recognizable face from his time singing bizarre songs and puppeteering on Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Good Job!, but his stint on the absurdist Adult Swim hit show is a mere chapter in his storied life. Hart moved to L.A. in 1976 to pursue a career in acting and music. As a child, he was surrounded by puppet shows; a Christian Scientist, Hart got his start on Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson Show was born on public access; in the early ‘90s, he even appeared on Golden Girls and Wings. Hart is touring in support of his latest album, Astronaut. Once again, he’s teamed up with collaborator Jonah Mociun as a backing musician, creating electronic adaptations of Hart’s old work and sharing new songs, as well. Hart advises that there will be even more puppetry this time, plenty of songs about life, love, aliens, and eating your veggies. “We’re going to have a wonderful show,” he says. “Comedy, puppeteering, music, filled with a lot of laughter, joy, enthusiasm, and fun.” When we spoke on the phone, Hart was excited to announce that, after this tour, he’s teaming back up with old Tim & Eric collaborator John C. Reilly, a.k.a. Dr. Steve Brule, and Abso Lutely Productions (Tim & Eric, Comedy Bang! Bang!, The Birthday Boys) for something new—stay tuned. Thursday, September 17, 9 p.m.

Art on Tap: Jepson Unplugged @Jepson Center for the Arts

If you haven’t seen “Come As You Are: Art of the 1990s” at the Jepson, it’s your final chance. An ambitious, well-rounded exhibition with a strong focus on themes of globalization and gender and identity politics, it’s a must-see. Whether you were born in the ‘90s or came of age in the Clinton era, “Come As You Are” is a fascinating look at a pivotal period in the fine art world. To bid the traveling exhibit farewell, the Jepson Center is transforming into a coffeehouse, complete with a tapas-style menu, cash bar with wine and beer, and live entertainment. Coy Campbell of Savannah folk/ Americana band Nightingale News will perform acoustic interpretations of iconic ‘90s hits as guests chill in the lounge. Campbell got a chance to take in the exhibition at the opening celebration. “I missed a lot of the ‘90s in regards to visual art—I was very much consumed in studying music,” says Campbell. “I missed all the names of the people that are in that exhibit, so that’s been very revelatory and fantastic.” The full set of cover songs, handpicked by Campbell, range from Nirvana to Pixies to R.E.M. to Neutral Milk Hotel. “I’m excited to work with these songs and get behind the lens of these songwriters,” he says. “I don’t know what other art form allows that. Who gets to remake their favorite movie without going to great extents?” Friday, September 18, 8 p.m., $12 for members, $15 for non-members

To celebrate ten years, Dope Sandwich is having a family reunion of sorts, with opportunities for kids, grown folks, early birds and nightlifers alike to catch a show. At the center of a packed and impressive bill is Union of Sacred Monsters, a collaborative effort that produced one of the label’s best releases in 2010— members are flying in from all corners of the U.S. just to get in on this one. Label mainstays Dope KNife, Basik Lee, and Miggs Son Daddy will perform solo sets; KNife and Miggs’ duo project, Happy Thoughts, have a set of their own. Spoken word artist Valore will perform with Obamabo (Oisin Daly). Daly uses his Obamabo project to explore beats and sound, creating innovative remixes of local music including Street Clothes, Miggs ft. Mothabug, and Xuluprophet. Dope Sandwich artists Cult Cyph, Bassdrum Bloodlust, $uper Toine, Mafamadix, Solo, Black Ceaser, Spitfire Poetry Group and Re2se are all slated to appear, along with DJ Valis and DJ Word Life. Atlanta’s The Difference Machine makes a hypnotizing kind of textural, noise and psychedelic-influenced hip-hop. They’re slated to perform the new, Atlanta edition of Afropunk Fest after their Savannah shows—catch them while you can, you’ll be hearing their name outside the Southeast soon enough. Friday, September 18: Blowin’ Smoke, 12 p.m., all ages & The Jinx, 9 p.m.

Fall is the season for beauty

A closer look at this autumn’s visual arts exhibits By Lauren Flotte

artrisesavannah.org

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

IN SAVANNAH the onset of fall may not be heralded by copper hued trees as it is up North, but a growing calendar of must-see art exhibitions is a clear indicator the dog days of summer have passed. With the arrival of Impressionist masters, art workshops and stunning new works by local favorites, this fall is poised to be one of Savannah’s best. Perhaps the most intriguing fall show, “Rocks’ Trains” is currently up at Indigo Sky Gallery until October 4. Richard (Rock) Nitsche, born with PPD on the autism spectrum, channels his intense focus into trains, resulting in highly organized, detailed drawings of long trains— lines of locomotives pulling cars spanning rows and rows on the page. Two September highlights invite all ages to discover new artistic techniques and concepts by offering special workshops related to the exhibitions. At the Cultural Arts Gallery through September 25, “Savannah Clay: 2015” showcases the imaginative work of 8 local ceramicists. Diverse functional and aesthetic ideas are explored in the collection, which includes teapots, figurative sculptures and installation pieces. Accompanying the exhibition are gallery talks by John Jensen on September 17 and Jessica Broad on September 19, plus a workshop “Parent & Child: Beasts and Creatures in Fables, Oh My!” on Saturday, September 19, 10am-12pm, with Broad and Mitzi Davis. At Sulfur Studios from September 30-October 4, “Double Vision” displays collaborative work by Becca Cook and Woody Cornwell and will open minds to the world of abstract Surrealism. The duo embraces concepts like free association and improvisation to co-create drawings, designs and fashion. In workshops on September 30 and October 1 participants will experience an 28 Exquisite Corpse game—a collaborative

drawing exercise played by Surrealist and Dada artists. These absurdist creations will be displayed at Sulfur on October 4. Further into October, Savannah will see continued exultations of the influence and techniques of artistic masters. Telfair Museums will bring the iconic works of French Impressionist Claude Monet to Savannah for the first time as part of the exhibition “Monet and American Impressionism” from October 16, 2015-January 24, 2016 at the Jepson Center. Four of Monet’s paintings will hang beside over 50 works by leading American Impressionists influenced by his revolutionary approaches. In celebration of Monet’s arrival, Telfair will host a three-part lectures series for the exhibition and the Monet Soirée, an opening reception on October 15. Art Rise Savannah will pay homage to pop-art sensation Andy Warhol for their annual fundraiser. At Non Fiction Gallery on October 16 is a free “Make your own Warhol” demonstration led by former Warhol master printer, Michael Enns. Then that evening, step back in time to 1970’s New York City at Art Rise Savannah’s Warhol Factory Party fundraiser, featuring the House of Gunt and the Twisty Cats as the Velvet Underground. October 5-11 visit Kobo Gallery for “The Industry: Curating Art for Public and Private Spaces.” This exhibition will feature large-scale works by Kobo’s members. The monumental works are geared towards collectors and designers, although the pieces will impress all. On October 22 the Hospice Savannah Gallery will present wood sculptures by

Galerie 124 will present “Morse Code” featuring photographs by Josh Jalbert on December 4.

Edward Richard Jones and paintings by Daniel E. Smith. In contrast to Kobo, Daniel—who normally works large—will unveil smaller oil paintings created for this exhibition, making his dreamy marsh scenes more accessible. Daniel and Jones work in different mediums, but both craft thoughtful meditations on nature. Another complimentary duo is Sally Clark and Marilyn Smith at the Jewish Educational Alliance November 1-30. “Brush and Needle” pairs Clark’s multimedia acrylic collages with Marilyn’s contemporary quilt designs. Clark’s paintings are a patchwork of color, texture and line, mirroring the traditional quilting techniques influencing Marilyn’s cloth compositions.

In November at Gallery Espresso, explore the culture of Cuba through C.J. Mellor’s photographic journal of the island. Mellor’s images capture Cuban scenes yet un-tampered by the newly open borders and lament the country’s impending loss of its distinctness. Later that month, Non Fiction Gallery will present “Between Movement and Stillness” photographs by Sara Fields on November 20. Fields soft, gentle style captures life’s nuances and subtleties in alluring images. Similarly ethereal are Josh Jalbert’s photographs to be displayed at Galerie 124. Opening December 4, “Morse Code” uses multiple methods to trace the movement of light, exposing the photographic recording process. Closing out the season are annual popup shops, small work, and trunk shows in time for the gift-giving season. Sulfur Studios’ “Shop Local Saturday Holiday Bazaar” on November 28 showcases local makers’ handmade goods. On December 3 catch Roots Up Gallery and Meryl Truett and Friend’s “Holiday Open House” for unique gift selections and the Cultural Arts Gallery’s “3rd Annual Student, Instructor and Staff Exhibit and Art Sale.” Then, December 4 the annual Non Fiction “Holiday Pop Up Shop” will open and the Grand Bohemian Gallery will host the “European Jewelry by Coeur de Lion Trunk Show.” While fall in Savannah may not include nature’s symphony of colors, the art scene provides a true feast of visual delights. Toss on a sweater and dig into the cultural offerings this season. cs

5ive questions:

The 24 Hour Play Festival

A talk with Gabe Reynolds about all the ‘seat-ofthe-pants’ fun

3. How are the plays cast? Gabe Reynolds: Casting the plays is basically part of the same process. There’s a meet-and-greet time for the directors to talk to the actors.

4. Do the actors really have enough time to memorize lines?

by jim morekis

Gabe Reynolds: There are shows where we’ll probably wing it a little bit. The writers are given some guidelines. For example, monologues are usually a no-no. We do want to keep it simple. Nine times out of ten everybody’s got their lines figured out. Then from 8 in morning until 7 at night there’s constant practice.

jim@connectsavannah.com

1. So give us the quick elevator pitch:

Safe to say these are mostly comedies?

Above, a cast from a previous edition of the 24 Hour Play Festival.

Gabe Reynolds: It’s about 50/50 actually. We’ve had some really funny comedies and also had some deeper subjects. cs

written, or even never acted before. It’s really neat watching the whole experience of people who have never done these things before really throwing themselves into it.

What is the 24-Hour Play Festival?

2. Is all this as stressful as it sounds?

Gabe Reynolds: This is an event where creative people come together and put on six seat-of-their-pants shows. The writers are given a topic and they have until 6 am to write the piece. Then the directors come in and figure out which play they want to do. It’s especially a great opportunity for people who’ve never directed, never

Gabe Reynolds: It’s more stressful leading up to the event, honestly. Making sure everybody’s in place. The day of the event it’s not that bad— it’s more exciting than stressful. I like it because there are so many creative people in Savannah and this is a great chance for so many different people to come together and do something a little bit

This is the fourth such event produced by Gabe Reynolds, known to local rock ‘n’ roll fans as “Kotter” on Rock 106.1 FM radio. We had a chat with Gabe, who is busy getting everything together for another epic edition.

The World of Nerdcraft

The force is wide awake at Guild Con

By Jessica Leigh Lebos

jll@connectsavannah.com

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

When you’re waiting on the release of a long-anticipated prequel, it’s always best to have company. Star Wars: The Force Awakens doesn’t drop until mid-December, but sci-fi sycophants are already hunkering down together to lambast the spoilers on 4Chan and parse the rise of Han Solo. And not just in the thousands virtual chat rooms or on Reddit threads, either: Across the country, a new local meet-up or conference crops up every week, allowing fans to continue the conversation live and in person. Those who once dwelled on the fringe now inhabit the palace, and there are more chances that ever to explore the theory that Bobo Fett killed Luke Skywalker’s aunt and uncle. This weekend, the Jedi army joins squads of gamers and legions of dungeon masters at Guild Con, converging on the Guild Hall compound Sept. 18-20. The second annual “celebration of all things nerdy and geeky” was conceived last year to coincide with the launch of the Guild Hall, the nexus of nerdery on Montgomery that offers everything from swordforging classes to Magic: the Gathering tournaments. While the first Guild Con was only meant to be a gambol on the century’s proliferation of “cons” (see Dragon Con, Comic Con and Savannah’s own Gnome Con), the event—like some rogue avatar— took on a life of its own. “It was supposed to be a cheeky way of saying ‘grand opening,’” explains cofounder Clegg Ivey. “We were shocked at how many people showed up and came to play.” With the paint on the walls barely dry, over 600 eager dweebers rolled through the grounds for 72 straight hours of roleplaying gamery, videoscreen domination and good old-fashioned communion. “We didn’t lock the doors for three days,” says general manager Adam Parker. “It was pretty epic.” The weekend fomented the Guild Hall’s member base and established a local community that crosses the lines between squirtles and wizards and unifies stormtroopers with settlers of Catan—an intersectionality of nerdcraft, if you will. The benevolent leaders promise to reprise the comradery at Guild Con II, with a verrrrry serious Mario Kart 8 tournament, a cosplay costume contest and 36 drinking games at the Guild Hall’s sister

Gamers and geeks of all stripes come together at Guild Con to show their allegiance to the Force, roll the dice and learn from masters like Dungeons & Dragons designer Robert J. Schwalb (bottom left). Photos courtesy of the guild Hall

eating establishment, The Chromatic Dragon. Death metal video game cover band Artificial Fear returns, and sexy beast Mary Contrary performs her signature bawdy burlesque. But Guild Con is far more than couchbound amusement or an excuse to wear the Wookiee suit out of the house. While the Arena’s gaming consoles will surely be filled, idle hands can find occupation with the saws and hammers of the Forge, the Guild Hall’s formidable makerspace, or at the new Miskatronic Labs (formerly the Atrium), where a green screen, sound booth, 3-D printer and laser cutter are waiting for imaginations gone wild. “We’ve separated out the wood shop from the digital design elements,” says Ivey of the morphing spaces. “We want everyone to be able to access the resources.”

Guild Con attendees can up their skills with intro to coding and film classes or pimp their toys with NERF gun modification and light saber workshops. The biggest draw for fantasy fans and RPG aficionados is a game design study hall with Robert J. Schwalb, one of the lead designers on the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons and overall gaming rock star. Fresh off his D&D triumphs and the success of A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying, Schwalb launched a Kickstarter in 2014 to fund his own independent venture. Schwalb Entertainment’s dystopian tabletop epic The Shadow of the Demon Lord releases this fall. Preview reports indicate that it’s character-driven and utilizes 20-sided and 6-sided dice. “We have a lot of players who are into game design as well,” says Ivey.

“I think a legend like Robert is going to have a lot of wisdom to impart.” Ivey emphasizes the incubatory atmosphere of the Guild Hall, where members often share hobbies and collaborate on projects in addition to discussing the possible implications of C-3PO’s red arm. “It’s like a con every day around here,” laughs the former Silicon Valley tech lawyer-turned-benevolent dictator. While Guild Con offers all manner of nerdy togetherness, Ivey assures that the weekend’s gaming is paramount. “Oh, we’re gonna play. It’s on.” cs

The Carters, The Cashes, & Americana

Muse hosts Southeast premiere of award-winning music documentary by jim morekis

jim@connectsavannah.com

HERE’S HOW influential the Carter family was—and still is—to American music: In Beth Harrington’s The Winding Stream: The Carters, The Cashes, and the Course of Country Music, in an on-camera interview with the great Johnny Cash, the subtitle under his name simply reads, “Maybelle’s son-in-law.” That amazing interview with Cash, one of the last before his death, is just one part of a fascinating look at one family’s experience at the heart of what we now call country music, but which was then called “old time music.”

The Carter family’s influence is felt to the present day. If you went to his past weekend’s Revival Fest, for example, literally every single band on the bill owes a musical debt to them, and you could hear an echo of the Carter’s work in every song. In the 1920s, A.P. Carter, his wife Sara, and Sara’s cousin Maybelle (future mother to June Carter Cash) set about collecting folk, gospel, and old time songs in the oldtime tradition from all across the South and recording them on what was then state-of-the-art equipment. Their work was broadcast worldwide by so-called “Border Stations”—pirate radio stations over the Mexican border with such high wattage that people could literally pick up the music on their bedsprings.

The Psychotronic Film Society brings the Southeast premiere of this SXSWacclaimed documentary to Muse Arts Warehouse this Sunday in two screenings. We spoke to director/producer Beth Harrington about her film, which in addition to Johnny Cash includes segments with Roseanne Cash, George Jones, John Prine, and Kris Kristofferson. How did you, a non-Southerner, become so captivated with this one Southern family and the roots of country music? Beth Harrington: I didn’t grow up with country music, but I did grow up in a really rich environment for art and music and painting and dance. I grew up in that world

and became a musician myself. I forget which jazz great said it, but he said there’s only two kinds of music: Good music and bad music (laughs.) I grew up with a lot of rock ‘n’ roll—that’s my love. But it all comes from somewhere, and I’m always interested in the antecedents of the music I love so much. I worked on a film called Welcome to the Club: The Women of Rockabilly. It was a look at the roots of rock ‘n’ roll though the eyes of women. A lot of the women I interviewed grew up with the Carter family, and a lot played with Johnny Cash in those package shows that used to go on back then. I was aware of the Carter family and all they did in the 1970s, but I started to realize not a lot of people today understood the connection, about how far back Cash’s interest went, about how connected he was to that foundation family of country music. I thought it would be cool to make a film to connect all those dots. Your remarkably relaxed and entertaining interview with Johnny Cash happened only a few weeks before his death in 2003. Tell us how that came about and what he was like.

SEPT 16-SEPT 22, 2015

Beth Harrington: Johnny Cash was incredible to meet and interview. He was kind and patient and gracious and funny. We were initially scheduled to interview him on a Wednesday and I flew to Nashville with my crew to do just that. Upon arrival we learned he was in the hospital. Roseanne Cash was there doing a recording session and she was the one who told me. But she said if we could cool our heels for a few days perhaps he would be out before the weekend. On Friday morning John Carter Cash called and told me his father was out of the hospital and was willing to see us. I was stunned. I thought for sure they’d just tell us to go home. I believe he granted the interview because he wanted to talk about two women he loved so much—his wife June and her mother Maybelle. And that trumped his not feeling well.

Why does Johnny Cash have such appeal to the rock and punk world, so much more than other country icons?

Beth Harrington: Some of it has to do with how he himself moved about in the music world. As much as he came from a certain place, he was cognizant of the roots

continued from previous page

of different things and interested in people pushing parameters in music. His relationships with other musicians always indicated that. He experimented with things, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. He was always trying to find his own voice in what he was doing. So that made him more accessible to people not just rooted in country music. And that’s what the Carters were about: looking for good music. They collected stuff, refashioned it and rearranged it, A.P. in particular. All the best stuff of that era: Tin Pan Alley music, African-American gospel, old folk songs from the hollers. I didn’t realize the Carters were so innovative, that far back. Beth Harrington: In the Carters’ early sessions in Bristol, Va., they used what was then portable equipment, and the first kind of Western Electric microphone that could do what it did. That made picking up all the instrumentation much clearer. But beyond that, the Carters were innovators in what they did together. They weren’t hampered by an attitude that, well this is this kind of song and we can’t do it. They always made it sound like their own thing. That was mostly Maybelle’s contribution. They didn’t have a full band, and she invented the now-famous “Carter scratch,” which was really an effort to play lead and rhythm guitar at the same time. She did it out of necessity to sort of flesh the whole sound out. That came from her banjo playing when younger. You say Maybelle was responsible for making the guitar a premier instrument in country music. Beth Harrington: Yes, up until then the big instruments in old time music were the fiddle and the banjo. People didn’t play guitar as a lead instrument. They played it mostly like a percussion instrument, a rhythmic wash. Maybelle kind of put the guitar in the foreground, because A.P. wasn’t playing a lot and Sarah was playing autoharp. This project took quite awhile to finish! What did you learn along the way? Beth Harrington: The film took forever to make! I began it over a dozen years ago. When I started I sort of had a rule of thumb that still holds true, which is: Distribution drives format. It’s nice to think you can make a three hour film and everyone will love it, but you really have to be conscious of what’s going to happen when it’s done. Filmmaking is commerce-driven, much to my chagrin, but that’s the truth of it.

I assumed at first it would eventually be a public TV show. So when I started working on it, I did certain kinds of interviews that would work in that format. But as I went along I realized nobody was stepping forward from the public TV realm to pay for the film. Other funders were not coming forward. Now I see that time was the beginning of a total paradigm shift in how films are made and how they’re paid for. And fortunately there’s been a big resurgence in art houses, which frankly a few years ago wasn’t the case. They are roaring back. Art houses are showing indie films again. I’m delighted to see what a great response there has been to it. Once I realized I wasn’t beholden to public TV, I took more creative chances with things, like animation in film, and some of the ways we told the story. As a Southern writer, I still see a lot of prejudice against the South and against Southerners. Would you agree with that, based on your experience making this film? Beth Harrington: I sympathize and recognize the truth of that feeling. That’s sort of the last bastion where you can make fun of certain people. There is that stereotype of the backward Southerner. I think it’s tragic we’re still clinging to it. Frankly I did see that attitude come into play as I talked about the film with certain people. They’d go, “Oh really, why would you want to make a movie about someone like that?” But the people in the film are the foundation not just of country music but folk music, any kind of regional roots music, Americana. Whatever you want to call it, the Carters had a huge impact. A lot of people dismiss it as hick music. And it started to piss me off! I can’t imagine if I were from the South how much it would piss me off. I find it really offensive, and I don’t think you’re wrong in perceiving it that way. There’s a piece of me that wanted the film to succeed just to show those people how wrong they are. cs

Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel star in The End of The Tour

THE END OF THE TOUR

ooo It’s 1996 and author David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel of How I Met Your Mother fame) is riding high on the release of his well received book, Infinite Jest. As his tour for the book winds down, Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg), an awestruck fan, is sent to interview Wallace. What follows, as Lipsky tags along with Wallace, alternating between observing and interviewing, is a look at a troubled, sensitive and highly perceptive man trying to deal with the unwanted attention that comes from writing a critically acclaimed book. It doesn’t help that Lipsky, a much less famous author, follows Wallace like a angry puppy, jealous of the attention that he longs for. But it does make for a fascinating look at two people who see a kindred spirit in each other, even as they see things they dislike. Lipsky has the lesser talent, but he’s more well adjusted to modern life, a feat that Wallace, despite his vast intellgience, hasn’t managed. It’s no secret that Wallace suffered from depression and eventually took his own life in 2008. You can see signs of that ongoing struggle in Segel’s excellent performance of Wallace. At 6+ feet, Segel is a large man, but the body he projects as Wallace is that of a seemingly smaller man, who constantly wears bandannas almost like a shield against a world he perceives as full of mental and emotional poision. Yet within that, there’s still a towering intelligence that loved people and life, as he struggled with all his mental difficulties.

It’s to Segel’s credit that neatly manages the delicate balance between all of Wallace’s emotional sides. Eisenberg is lesser light, working more in his traditional character mode as an arrogant jerk. But it works here for the character of Lipsky, who actually is a slightly arrogant jerk. James Ponsoldt’s understated direction works wonders, taking the time to focus on the two main characters and their budding, yet fractured, friendship. It’s a difficult, and sometimes tedious, journey but well worth the travel.-Brandon Blatcher

NO ESCAPE

ooo Maybe it’s because of personal experience that I’ve always been a sucker for political thrillers set in foreign lands. During my childhood, my family left Argentina at the start of the so-named “Dirty War” (when the government assassinated thousands of citizens who didn’t share its philosophies) and arrived in Kenya mere days after a failed coup (a mandated early curfew meant evenings were spent watching military vehicles patrol the empty streets from the safety of our hotel room). Even the interim years in Portugal found my father, a Firestone plant manager, held hostage for several days at his place of employment. These memories were brought to the surface during my viewing of No Escape, a harrowing drama set in an unidentified Asian country. Make no mistake: This new film isn’t nearly as complex as its predecessors in this subgenre, superb ‘80s films like The Killing Fields, Under Fire, and Missing.

And with its admittedly paranoid view of living abroad—the takeaway from the film is that Americans should never leave the U.S. but instead be content munching on Big Macs and watching Modern Family—it’s easy to understand why this movie is getting hammered in many quarters as offensive agitprop (a critic at the perennially reactionary Slant website predictably but hilariously opined that “The only way that this film could be any more racist is if the Dwyer family holed up with Lillian Gish and waited for the Klan to save them”). But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that No Escape works on a gut level—I haven’t seen a more intense motion picture during all of 2015. Owen Wilson delivers a fine performance as Jack Dwyer, who arrives in this anonymous country (filming took place in Thailand) to help improve its waterworks situation. With him are his wife Annie (Lake Bell), who didn’t want to relocate in the first place, and their daughters Lucy (Sterling Jerins) and Beeze (Claire Geare), who don’t care where they are as long as there’s a swimming pool nearby. The Dwyers are barely settled into their hotel when a coup breaks out, with the revolutionaries gleefully slaughtering all opposition. Their greatest hatred, however, is reserved for foreigners—especially Americans—and they descend upon the hotel with the same determination as the Mexican troops attacking the Alamo. The Dwyers spend the remainder of the movie always trying to, as Jack puts it, remain 10 steps ahead of their pursuers. Director John Erick Dowdle, who co-wrote the script with his brother Drew Dowdle,

continued from previous page

films all of their ensuing struggles with brute force, rarely shying away from the violence. Exploitative? Maybe. Effective? Definitely. The Dowdles try to stage this in a realistic fashion, doing their best to perpetually paint Jack as an ordinary guy who’s in over his head but uses it to get out of difficult situations—it’s a welcome change from the norm, which finds an Everyman suddenly turning into Superman at the drop of a hat. The sibling filmmakers do offer a concession to the established template through the character of Hammond (an effective Pierce Brosnan), a British ex-pat who turns out to be much more than just a boozy womanizer. Hammond demonstrates his actionhero chops at an early point, and we mark time until he returns in deus ex machina fashion at the critical moment when he’s most needed. No Escape suffers from the usual decree that the problems of a few little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world—unless, of course, the little people are white and the crazy world is comprised of darker skinned individuals. Indeed, the vast majority of the Asians are depicted as either soulless killers or

complacent citizens, with not much in between (the major exception is Hammond’s best friend, winningly played by Sahajak Boonthanakit). But at least the Dowdles acknowledge the reason for the discontent: As Hammond points out, the locals are outraged that an American corporation, in true fascist fashion, has through shady means been able to secure and control the nation’s water supply. Xenophobic twits like Donald Trump will bristle at this anti-capitalist message, but more intelligent folks will once again realize that the United States’ claim of Manifest Destiny didn’t end with the acquisition of the West Coast.

AMERICAN ULTRA OO

HITMAN: AGENT 47

O It’s a terrific year to be a secret agent— cinematically speaking, of course. The spy game got off to a rousing start this past spring with the sleeper hit Kingsman: The Secret Service and continued into the summer with the rousing trio of Spy, Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The trend continues this fall with the Spielberg-Hanks-Coens collaboration Bridge of Spies and culminates

where it must, with the release of the latest James Bond effort Spectre. For the moment, though, we’ll have to make do with the late-summer entries American Ultra and Hitman: Agent 47, both facing their own missions impossible in their attempts to register as anything more than genre also-rans. Of the pair, American Ultra is by far the more noteworthy picture, a lightweight but likable piece that basically finds Jason Bourne reborn as a slacker. Jesse Eisenberg plays Mike Howell, a stoner leading a dead-end life in a puny West Virginia burg. His only source of joy is his girlfriend Phoebe (Kristen Stewart, Eisenberg’s Adventureland co-star), who’s supportive even when his frequent panic attacks prevent them from ever leaving their tiny town for vacation. Unbeknownst to Mike, though, is the fact that he’s really a highly skilled government agent whose mind has been wiped clean—a situation that’s reversed when a supercilious CIA yuppie (Topher Grace) orders him terminated. Activated by his former agency handler (Connie Britton), Mike is as surprised as anyone when he finds himself able to take down trained assassins with his bare hands or, in one amusing sequence, a deftly tossed frying pan.

The notion of a Cheech & Chong burnout as a 007 knockoff is an amusing one, and Eisenberg plays the part perfectly. Equally impressive is Stewart, who continues to demonstrate that she will easily outpace the fanboy detractors—even a late-inning revelation concerning her character doesn’t take away from the warmth and empathy she brings to the role. What does detract is the decision of director Nima Nourizadeh to tackle each kill with overkill. Nourizadeh feels that one coat of crimson won’t suffice when another three layers can be added, and while this gore should prove too cartoonish to offend many people, it does grow tiresome and occasionally takes us out of otherwise soundly choreographed action sequences. On balance, American Ultra won’t be mistaken as the ne plus ultra of secret agent capers, but it mostly handles its assignment with ease. That’s not the case with Hitman: Agent 47, which doesn’t even get off one shot before its relative wretchedness comes into focus. The second movie based on the popular video game Hitman—the first, starring Timothy Olyphant, arrived back in 2007—this one finds Rupert Friend taking over as the ruthless government

assassin with the tarnished heart of gold (6 carat, at best). Hannah Ware is Katia, whom he must protect from all manner of evildoers. Thomas Kretschmann plays the evil syndicate head Le Clerq, whose moniker makes me think of Justin Timberlake as Le Coq in The Love Guru. And Zachary Quinto, Spock in the Star Trek reboot, co-stars as John Smith, a mysterious figure who starts out like Kyle Reese before morphing into a T-800. Speaking of Spock, while he has the ability to live long and prosper, the same may or may not be said of the career of debuting director Aleksander Bach, whose movie exhibits all the uniqueness and individuality of a Krispy Kreme doughnut rolling off the conveyor belt (and, hey, at least the pastry has flavor). Hitman: Agent 47 takes such pleasure in reveling in its own banality that it often feels like Bach and scripters Skip Woods (who also wrote the previous Hitman flick, as well as the atrocious A Good Day to Die Hard) and Michael Finch pilfered $35 million from studio coffers merely to proudly state that they punk’d everyone who actually wastes money to see this. Devoid of any distinguishing features in any department, this ultimately feels like a placeholder banner ad, marking time up there on the screen until an actual movie starts.

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

OOO With a pair of bland pretty-boy leads, the hyperactive Guy Ritchie in the director’s seat, and a trailer that didn’t exactly inspire hope, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. promised to be the sort of late-summer miss that would leave me crying uncle before the halfway mark. Instead, it turns

out to be an unassuming, undemanding surprise. It’s based, of course, on the hit TV series from the 1960s, the sort of effort that arrived fast and furious in the wake of James Bond’s phenomenal success at the box office. The titular man was Napoleon Solo, played by Robert Vaughn with the right mix of suavity and insouciance. As the Russian Illya Kuryakin, Solo’s friend and co-worker at the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, David McCallum became the series’ breakout star. On the series, Solo and Kuryakin were fellow agents from the start, which makes this new picture operate as an origin story of sorts. The Cold War rages on, and when we first meet Solo (Henry Cavill) and Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) in 1963, they’re rival agents (Solo for the CIA, Kuryakin for the KGB) attempting to kill each other near the renowned Checkpoint Charlie. Solo is attempting to smuggle an important asset named Gaby Teller (Alicia Vikander, Ex Machina’s Ava) out of East Berlin while Kuryakin is trying to stop him. It’s not long after, however, that the men’s respective organizations order them to team up in an effort to stop the usual coterie of global villains (including an exNazi played with lip-smacking zeal by Sylvester Groth) from getting their hands on nuclear warheads. There are at least two dozen actors who would have made a better Napoleon Solo than Cavill. The real delight here is Hammer. So memorable as the Winklevii in The Social Network,it’s nice to see him as an engaging presence again, and his Illya Kuryakin proves to be the film’s most interesting character as well as its primary wellspring of low-simmer humor. Incidentally, the theme music for the

series was created by the late, great Jerry Goldsmith, who nearly rivaled John Williams in crafting magnificent, majestic scores (countless credits include Chinatown, and The Omen, winning his only Oscar for the last-named). Goldsmith’s original U.N.C.L.E. score is one of his best, and I fully expected the film to pay it tribute. Instead, the employed snippet has been rendered unrecognizable with its idiotic changes in tempo and instrumentation. Fortunately, this aural atrocity marks one of the very few times that this handsome big-screen version is hopelessly out of tune.

SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE

OOO Shaun the Sheep Movie lacks the go-forbroke genius of the Wallace and Gromit works, but that’s not so say it isn’t consistently inventive and entertaining, centering on the misadventures that greet Shaun, his fellow sheep and Bitzer the dog as they head to The Big City (as all the signs call it) to locate the farmer who looks after them. Said farmer, after all, has taken a blow to the noggin and now suffers from amnesia, so it’s up to the animals to locate him, jog his memory, and return him home. But that proves to be quite the challenge, more so since they’re being dogged by a particularly nasty animal-containment employee. This toon tale takes its time getting started, but once the gang descends upon the city, matters become increasingly frenzied and funny, with a pair of standout setpieces unfolding in a restaurant and inside a kennel. Despite being a silent film in that no one speaks dialogue, its references span the decades, from the silent masterpiece Modern Times (when Shaun’s characters do speak, it’s in unintelligible gibberish clearly inspired by the Chaplin film) to The

Silence of the Lambs (with a cat amusingly aping Hannibal Lecter pondering fava beans and a nice Chianti). With Pixar’s marvelous Inside Out winding down in theaters, it’s still not too late for parents to save Shaun from getting clipped by loading the kids into the minivan and taking them this weekend.

FANTASTIC FOUR

O Honestly, is there a more cursed franchise in Hollywood than this one? One of the genuinely classic comics from the storied history of Marvel, it’s mind-boggling that no one has been able to make a decent movie out of this material. It brings to mind Jim Gordon’s line about Batman at the conclusion of The Dark Knight: “He’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now.” Is the same principle applying here? Are these the heroes America deserves, as punishment for our slavish devotion to all films Marvel? A grim assessment, indeed. So while it may be true that this Fantastic Four is an improvement over the 2005 version (and perhaps its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), that’s really not saying a damn thing. This take finds our fab four much younger than in previous incarnations: there’s brainy Reed Richards (Miles Teller) and cocky Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), and there’s Sue Storm (Kate Mara) and Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell). After nearly an hour of sluggish exposition, the quartet finally are exposed to the mysterious green glop that looks as if it could power a thousand Green Lanterns but instead turns these meddling kids into something more than human. cs

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

We humans need nourishing stories almost as much as we require healthy food, clean air, pure water, and authentic love. And yet many of us get far less than our minimum daily requirement of nourishing stories. Instead, we are barraged with nihilistic narratives that wallow in misery and woe. If we want a break from that onslaught, our main other choices are sentimental fantasies and emptyhearted trivia. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news: Now is a favorable time for you to seek remedies for this problem. That’s why I’m urging you to hunt down redemptive chronicles that furnish your soul with gritty delight. Find parables and sagas and tales that fire up your creative imagination and embolden your lust for life.

influential artist whose early work prefigured surrealism. In 1917, he submitted an unusual piece to a group exhibition in New York. It was a plain old porcelain urinal, but he titled it *Fountain,* and insisted it was a genuine work of art. In that spirit, I am putting my seal of approval on the messy melodrama you are in the process of managing. Henceforth, this melodrama shall also be known as a work of art, and its title will be “Purification.” (Or would you prefer “Expurgation” or “Redemption”?) If you finish the job with the panache you have at your disposal, it will forevermore qualify as a soul-jiggling masterpiece.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

by Rob brezsny

I won’t go so far as to say that you are surrounded by unhinged maniacs whose incoherence is matched only by their self-delusion. That would probably be too extreme. But I do suspect that at least some of the characters in the game you’re playing are not operating at their full potential. For now, it’s best not to confront them and demand that they act with more grace. The wiser strategy might be to avoid being swept up in their agitation as you take good care of yourself. If you are patient and stay centered, I bet you will eventually get a chance to work your magic. Many of the heroes in fairy tales survive and thrive because of the magical gifts they are given. Benefactors show up, often unexpectedly, to provide them with marvels -- a spinning wheel that can weave a cloak of invisibility, perhaps, or winged shoes that give them the power of flight, or a charmed cauldron that brews a healing potion. But there is an important caveat. The heroes rarely receive their boons out of sheer luck. They have previously performed kind deeds or unselfish acts in order to earn the right to be blessed. According to my analysis, Taurus, the coming weeks will be prime time for you to make yourself worthy of gifts you will need later on.

Now is an excellent time to close the gap between the Real You and the image of yourself that you display to the world. I know of two ways to accomplish this. You can tinker with the Real You so that it’s more like the image you display. Or else you can change the image you display so that it is a more accurate rendition of the Real You. Both strategies may be effective. However you go about it, Cancerian, I suggest you make it your goal to shrink the amount of pretending you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Born under the sign of Leo, Marcel Duchamp was an

Some people express pride in gross ways. When you hear their overbearing brags, you know it’s a sign that they are not really confident in themselves. They overdo the vanity because they’re trying to compensate for their feelings of inadequacy. In the coming weeks, I expect you to express a more lovable kind of self-glorification. It won’t be inflated or arrogant, but will instead be measured and reasonable. If you swagger a bit, you will do it with humor and style, not narcissism and superiority. Thank you in advance for your service to humanity. The world needs more of this benign kind of egotism.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The rooster is your power animal. Be like him. Scrutinize the horizon for the metaphorical dawn that is coming, and be ready to herald its appearance with a triumphant wake-up call. On the other hand, the rooster is also your affliction animal. Don’t be like him. I would hate for you to imitate the way he handles himself in a fight, which is to keep fussing and squabbling far beyond the point when he should let it all go. In conclusion, Libra, act like a rooster but also don’t act like a rooster. Give up the protracted struggle so you can devote yourself to the more pertinent task, which is to celebrate the return of the primal heat and light.

Since you seem to enjoy making life so complicated and intense for yourself, you may be glad to learn that the current astrological omens favor that development. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you’re about to dive deep into rich mysteries that could drive you half-crazy. I suspect that you will be agitated and animated by your encounters with ecstatic torment and difficult bliss. Bon voyage! Have fun! Soon I expect to see miniature violet bonfires gleaming in your bedroom eyes, and unnamable emotions rippling through your unfathomable face, and unprecedented words of wild wisdom

spilling from your smart mouth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

The Adamites were devotees of an ancient Christian sect that practiced sacred nudism. One of their central premises: How could anyone possibly know God while wearing clothes? I am not necessarily recommending that you make their practice a permanent part of your spiritual repertoire, but I think you might find value in it during the coming weeks. Your erotic and transcendent yearnings will be rising to a crescendo at the same time. You will have the chance to explore states where horniness and holiness overlap. Lusty prayers? Reverent sex? Ecstatic illumination?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

One of your key themes in the coming weeks is “grace.” I suggest that you cultivate it, seek it out, expect it, and treasure it. To prepare for this fun work, study all of the meanings of “grace” below. At least two of them, and possibly all, should and can be an active part of your life. 1. Elegance or beauty of form, movement, or proportion; seemingly effortless charm or fluidity. 2. Favor or goodwill; a disposition to be generous or helpful. 3. Mercy, forgiveness, charity. 4. A temporary exemption or immunity; a reprieve. 5. A sense of fitness or propriety. 6. A prayer of blessing or thanks said before a meal. 7. An unmerited divine gift offered out of love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Be good, but not necessarily well-behaved. Be extra exuberant and free, but not irresponsible. Be lavish and ardent and even rowdy, but not decadent. Why? What’s the occasion? Well, you have more-or-less finished paying off one of your karmic debts. You have conquered or at least outwitted a twist from your past that had been sapping your mojo. As a reward for doing your duty with such diligence, you have earned a respite from some of the more boring aspects of reality. And so now you have a mandate to gather up the intelligent pleasure you missed when you were acting like a beast of burden.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

“I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.” That’s the mantra that Frank O’Hara intoned in his poem “Meditations in an Emergency,” and now I’m inviting you to adopt a modified version of it. Here’s how I would change it for your use in the coming months: “I am the least difficult of passion artists. All I want is to give and receive boundless, healthy, interesting love.” To be frank, I don’t think O’Hara’s simple and innocent declaration will work for you. You really do need to add my recommended nuances in order to ripen your soul’s code and be aligned with cosmic rhythms.

Look around, see only friends By Your Pal Erin

psychicyourpalerin@gmail.com www.yourpalerin.com

WHEN I was a little girl, the imminent threat of nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union reigned supreme. It pervaded the nightly news; insinuated itself in sci-fi films like “War Games” and in bend-over-andkiss-your-ass-goodbye miniseries like “Testament” and “The Morning After.” On a Very Special Episode of “Silver Spoons,” Ricky Schroeder even had a nightmare that he was POTUS and had to decide whether or not to use the nefarious Red Button against Russia. This was a TV show about a little boy whose man-child father drove around their mansion in a life-sized toy train, for chrissakes. No place was safe. In November 1982 Yuri Andropov succeeded Brezhnev as the head of the Soviet Union and the world waited with baited breath to see how this development would affect the arms race. Taking matters into her own hands, ten yearold Samantha Smith of Augusta Maine wrote him the following letter: Dear Mr. Andropov, My name is Samantha Smith. I am ten years old. Congratulations on your new job. I have been worrying about Russia and the United States getting into a nuclear war. Are you going to vote to have a war or not? If you aren’t please tell me how you are going to help to not have a war. This question you do not have to answer, but I would like to know why you want to conquer the world or at least our country. God made the world for us to live together in peace and not to fight. Sincerely, Samantha Smith After learning that her letter had

Crossword Answers

been excerpted in the Soviet newspaper Pravda (meaning “Truth”), she wrote him again asking whether he intended to personally respond. On April 26, 1983 she received a letter from Andropov, inviting her to spend 10 days in the Soviet Union as his personal guest, to “see for yourself: in the Soviet Union, everyone is for peace and friendship among peoples.” Journalist from around the world accompanied Samantha on her visit, giving everyone a glimpse at life behind the Iron Curtain. Our national dialogue was redirected from fear of the enemy to finding common ground. Last Wednesday, as I attended the monthly Downtown Neighborhood Association meeting introducing the 2nd District Aldermen candidates, I was reminded of Samantha Smith. All were in concurrence that Savannah’s two most pressing problems are poverty and gun violence. Each candidate presented his or her platform for solutions, including: increased funding for East Savannah, more officers assigned to work neighborhood beats, improved community dialogue, stricter gun control laws. While I agree with every idea proposed, the simplest solution just might be one presented by Samantha Smith 32 years ago. On December 26, 1983 Samantha addressed the Children’s Symposium on the Year 2001 in Kobe, Japan. In her speech, titled “Look Around And See Only Friends,” she proposed the International Granddaughter Exchange, an ambassadorship program in which the grandchildren of world leaders would stay in the homes of leaders in opposing countries. Samantha believed that no one would ever want to bomb a country where his or her grandchildren were living. Ergo, if leaders were to have immediately implemented this program, by the year 2001 it might have expanded to the point where all nations on the planet could have accomplished world peace. It’s a simple notion, if not the most practical. But think about it: when we invite people into our homes, we are more likely to form common bonds. So how could Samantha’s utopic vision be practically applied to our city? In a word: Airbnb. As an Airbnb owner/operator, knowing that I can live anywhere in the world, earn a livable wage and have a nice home gives me a sense of self-sufficiency, pride and confidence that I never had as

someone’s hourly employee. How many of your friends and loved ones find themselves struggling to make ends meet? Imagine how much better their lives would be if they could confidently say that they could always have a roof over their heads and money in their pockets, just by opening their homes to others? Welcoming hundreds of strangers annually not only makes me one of Savannah’s unofficial ambassadors; it makes me a more compassionate human being. Each visitor is not just my guest, but a teacher who expands my world view. Even on those rare occasions when we experience conflict, we most often create cooperative solutions. Admittedly, I have the privilege of living in the Downtown Historic District where tourism is flourishing; with the city’s support, our West Savannah neighbors could enjoy the benefits of tourism, too. According to the candidates, Savannah is operating in the black and its coffers are full of money that’s available to its districts, by way of the Slosh and ESlosh programs. (My apologies, Jim, if I got these names wrong. I tried to look the programs up online and couldn’t find any info.) Imagine how West Savannah could thrive if the city offered grants or low-interest loans to help its current residents —not people who relocate there to gentrify the neighborhood— renovate their homes to accommodate short-term vacation rentals, and build shops and restaurants to serve the community and its visitors? What if the city were to also offer lowinterest loans to help residents buy newer cars that would qualify them as Uber drivers, providing affordable, shared transportation to the community? Wouldn’t Savannah have an even richer history to share with its visitors if West Savannah’s story were included in its narrative? Wouldn’t everyone be better served if our West Savannah neighbors received the same police protection as Downtown tourists? By expanding Airbnb and Uber opportunities to all of Savannah’s citizens, those affected hardest by poverty and violence would not only have the means to create financial solutions, they’d benefit from a community built on thriving friendships.
