As the plot develops, a rigid sense of chronology is forsaken to serve the author’s purposes, and it becomes apparent that the binding element for every character is abandonment, a beautifully crafted device through which Henderson fully displays her writing talent. Henderson disguises herself cleverly within the narrative by adopting a meandering style of prose during Jude’s drug-crazed phase and subsequently progressing into a manic spurting of details as the machismo of straight edge living takes over the young man’s life. Obviously a product of extensive research, Ten Thousand Saints is told uniquely without the impassioned and easily derailed voice of a rock enthusiast. Instead, Henderson carefully lays out the action with the professionalism of a true historian/storyteller well beyond her years in ability.

‘Lists’ a mesmerizing look at U.S. history By Dinesh Ramde Associated Press
The Mindset Lists of American History: From Typewriters to Text Messages, What Ten Generations of Americans Think Is Normal (John Wiley & Sons), by Tom McBride and Ron Nief. Mindset Lists began as a simple way to help professors at a small Wisconsin college better relate to their students. Now, on a larger scale, the lists have proven to be a mesmerizing way to retell American history. College officials Tom McBride and Ron Nief developed the first Mindset List in 1998. It offered scores of oneliners describing events that happened before the incoming freshmen were born, reminding professors that ref-
erences to those events could draw blank stares. McBride and Nief made fresh lists every year, describing cultural references the entering class had — or hadn’t — grown up with. The lists of music, pop culture, technology and current events became increasingly popular, serving as lighthearted reminders of the latest generation gap. Eventually McBride and Nief realized their technique could tell a larger story about the evolution of U.S. culture. So they went back and created 10 new lists spanning the last 130 years. They envisioned how the lists would have looked for high-school students ranging from the Class of 1898 to the Class of 2009. For good measure, they developed one for the Class of
2026 as well. They compiled the results in The Mindset Lists of American History: From Typewriters to Text Messages, What Ten Generations of Americans
Think Is Normal. The book is an eminently pleasing — and often absorbing — look at life in the U.S. through the generations. Rather than simply recount what happened, the authors describe how each new generation’s view of the world evolved and diverged from that of their parents. Each chapter starts with a Mindset List and then follows with narrative that adds the full context. The authors’ writing style is especially effective. For example, instead of blandly listing the life expectancy in the year 1900, they note that the Class of 1918 rarely knew its grandparents for long, if at all. The book seems to have something for everyone.

Gadsden’s historic Ritz Theatre:
Reviving ‘the last icon of a storied past’ By Brooke Carbo bcarbo@annistonstar.com
The marquee of the Ritz Theatre in Gadsden has defined the Alabama City historical district since being erected in 1928. As a young boy growing up in the cotton mill community of Alabama City, Gadsden Councilman Johnny Cannon spent every Friday night at the theater watching cowboy movies with his dad. At Monday’s ribbon-cutting to mark the theater’s reopening, Cannon shared his memories of the neon landmark. “I knew it wasn’t time to go until the light came on,” he recalled. “From the road around the cotton mill I could see the sign and I would stand there and say, ‘come on light, turn on.’ Then I could run tell my daddy it was time to go to the picture show.” Bob Van Schaik is the president of the Theatre of Gadsden, the production company that calls the Ritz home. He told attendants of Monday’s ceremony that the

Renovations included a sprinkler system mandated by the state fire marshal, a new roof and a historically accurate restoration of the art deco interior and terrazzo floor. Two aisles were inserted into what were continuous rows of seats and five energy-efficient air-conditioning units replaced a cooling system that Van Schaik said obstructed the view from the balcony and often kicked on with a loud roar at inopportune moments of a performance. Amy Bennett, who plays Millie’s Miss Dorothy Brown, has been with TOG since auditioning for The Sound of Music in 2002. When she walked through the doors of the improved facility for the first time for a performance of Crimes of the Heart, she said she burst into tears. “It was beautiful to see it filled with music again,” she said.

Selling away
Bazaar showcases historic, sentimental objects for sale It’s a privilege to admire objects of different eras inside the Berman Museum. Historic objects are there in abundance. But at least Hervey once Folsom Artists in Action a year there are treasures in showcases there that you cannot only admire — you can pick them up and handle them and try them on for size. Buy them, and you can take them home. The “artifacts” referred to here are the varied pieces in the third annual Vintage Bazaar, scheduled for July 30–Aug. 6. Coordinated by The Berman Alliance, the consignment sale offers valued pieces (at least 30 or 40 years old) owned by museum supporters. They are treasures that these friends of the museum are willing to sell. The event often leads to a new home and new life for oil paintings, lithographs, small furniture, fine china, pieces of jewelry and more, thanks to those of you who cherish old things. Lynne Isom, chairman of the project, wants to involve everyone with the sale. Now is the time to look through your belongings and select pieces you are willing to part with for the benefit of the museum and yourself. Sellers receive 65 percent of the selling price; the Berman Museum will retain 35 percent. (Or, if you are feeling especially generous, choose the optional 50-50 percent split).

Just as the Berman’s exhibits chronicle the past, collectibles at the bazaar have their certain place in world history, too. Those who browsed through the first two years’ showcases saw a large array of costume jewelry from different time periods, rings with semi-precious stones, a handmade American Indian necklace with coral and turquoise stones, and a hand-cranked music box. Buyers have seen antique toys, a sterling silver spoon from Ireland, vintage hats, framed antique maps, and a saber. Limoges, a whiteware porcelain decorated with Victorian motifs, has graced the showcases, as well as Miriam Haskell costume jewelry. Haskell was an important American
designer whose creations were rooted in the Art Nouveau era. According to Internet sources, her jewelry and accessories were well-suited for the freewheeling Roaring Twenties and for high society. It remains popular today. It’s interesting to meet both collectors and casual buyers, Isom said, and to pinpoint their particular interests. For example, a raccoon hat attracted lots of attention. The man who bought it planned to place it in his antique store, Isom said. An oil painting reproduction from the estate of Alfred Lee, of the family of Lee Brass, caught the eye of two very serious buyers, Isom clearly recalls. “In that case, there was a bid-off,” she added. “I only wish we had had two of them.” The subject matter was a young lady musician playing the cello
— a beautiful piece from all accounts. A colorful print in a past sale that represents the social and athletic atmospheres in Scotland in the 1850s is that of “A Grand Match at St. Andrews Links.” It is now the possession of Chip Howell, who has played on the internationally known course north of Edinburgh. “This print had special meaning to me,” Howell explained. “St. Andrews is the home of golf.” Volunteers helping at the sale will be Louise Lokey, Sara Starling, Susan Waldron, Craig Waldron, Sarah Ballard, Patsy Young, Robert Smith and Linda Mann.

Shelton delivers his best on ‘Red River Blue’ By Michael Mccall Associated Press
Blake Shelton, Red River Blue (Warner Bros.) Ten years in, Blake Shelton’s up-anddown career is now skyrocketing, with no dips in sight. His current hit, “Honey Bee,” is his fourth consecutive No. 1, setting records for a male country singer in how fast it reached gold in digital sales. He is the current CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, and he starred as a coach in the popular NBC talent show, The Voice. He also married country singer Miranda Lambert earlier this year in a high-profile romance that captured the media’s attention.
Soundgarden sound is back after 15 years
But the best sign of how far he’s come can be heard on Red River Blue, his eighth album. Singing with more confidence than ever, and collecting solid songs that highlight his playful personality and his vocal talent, Shelton adds fuel to the upward trajectory with the best album of his career. The Oklahoma native at times recalls other country superstars: He mixes the soulful escapism of Kenny Chesney, the macho swagger of Trace Adkins and the tough-guy wit of Toby Keith.
But Shelton is a better singer than all of them, especially on ballads like the soaring “Over” and the sensitive title cut. But it’s the breezy, fun songs that will mark this album, from the swaying sting of “Honey Bee” and sweet groove of “Ready To Roll,” “Hey” and “Drink On It.” This is the sound of a good singer making the best of his hardearned stardom. CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: “Get Some,” with its finger-picked acoustic guitar and sliding dobro set to a jaunty rhythm, captures a back-country attitude better than any of the endless list of recent songs celebrating country life.
NEW YORK — Grunge may be so two decades ago, but Soundgarden is determined to bring the past alive. Last summer, the group played shows at Lollapalooza and in Seattle, its first since splitting up in 1997. The band — singer Chris Cornell, drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Ben Shepherd and guitarist Kim Thayil — played in other acts during its time apart, with Cornell singing in Audioslave and Cameron hooking up with Pearl Jam. But now, Soundgarden is officially recording new music and back on tour. Front man Cornell recently discussed reuniting with his old mates and what’s changed after almost 15 years apart. cornell Q. What’s it been like to work together after such a long break? A. It’s been great. It didn’t really seem like it was that big of a deal, in a way. Even though we had kind of a prolonged break, it didn’t feel like it was that long. And then we just got right back into playing music and it didn’t seem like that much time had gone by or that much had changed. It felt really good and natural. Q. Is there any pressure on the group to perform after the break or is the atmosphere more relaxed? Z. I don’t think we’d be doing it if it wasn’t relaxed. There has to be some aspect of that. That’s why we really stopped being Soundgarden — because it seemed like the business side of the band had taken on its own life. I think it’s important to look forward and to look forward in a way that’s confident and relaxed as opposed to worrying about the past. Q. How have you tried to avoid tying yourself to one kind of music or sound? A. One of the main factors, I suppose, is that everyone in the band writes songs, which isn’t always the case. Most of the time it’s not the case. Over the years, we’ve written songs as a group, sort of collaborating on one idea, and rearranging things as a group. We’ve been doing that a lot now, but we’d also all bring in separate song ideas. When you’ve got a band of four people where everyone’s bringing in their own material and different things that they think would be a Soundgarden song, it’s a lot of variety.

Def Leppard is in the midst of a lot of f irsts By Glenn Gamboa Newsday
Def Leppard is always ready for something new. Even though the veteran British rockers behind “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Photograph” are nearing 35 years in the business, this summer, they are in the midst of a whole lot of firsts. “We’re certainly not just sitting on our laurels,” says singer Joe Elliott, calling from a tour stop in Boston. The band — Elliott, guitarist Phil Collen, bassist Rick Savage and drummer Rick Allen — has just released its first live album Mirror Ball, which is also its first release on its own Bludgeon Riffola label. “We’ve always been the kind of people who are prepared to put our hands up in the air and say, ‘My bad,’ which I much prefer to do than pointing my finger and screaming at somebody for screwing up,” Elliott says of leaving the major-label world behind. “We got so fed up with people thinking they knew what was best for this band without even discussing it with us. We just said enough. We’re not going to do that anymore.” Def Leppard signed a distribution deal with Walmart and Sam’s Club for Mirror Ball and another deal to make it the only album from the band on iTunes — an arrangement that Elliott says the band finds “superb.” “People say, ‘Don’t you think it’s a bit weird that you can only buy it at Walmart?” Elliott says. “Well, record shops are closing — the numbers I see, about three to five a week. I don’t see any Walmarts closing down. At least, they’re consistently available. To appease the die-hards, we’ve also put it out on 180-gram vinyl available at independent record stores like Amoeba. “It’s a triple album on vinyl,” he says, with a laugh. “We’ve gone completely prog rock.” Elliott says the Mirror Ball set is selling well, especially on iTunes. “It’s flying at the moment,” he says, adding that the band plans to continue to keep the rest of its catalog off the site for now. “Our record company have been plain silly buggers when it comes to putting stuff up there. We’re not going to let you put it up for the amount of money you’re trying to palm us off with. You’re
July 15-July 21, 2011 Mirror Ball
This may be Def Leppard’s first live album in its three-decadesplus history, but it’s not the first live album named after the famous disco-era reflective orb. Here’s how it stacks up against Canadian songstress Sarah McLachlan’s 1999 Lillithmania live album ‘Mirrorball’:

Bassist Rick Savage and Def Leppard have just released their first live album, ‘Mirror Ball.’ insulting us. We have the right to say no and we say no until they come to the table with a decent offer. We’ll rerecord if we have to.” Of course, Def Leppard will continue recording new music for themselves as well and the three new songs on Mirror Ball, especially the ready-for-stadiums rocker “Undefeated,” show that the band’s winning streak will likely continue. “I think ‘Undefeated’ shows we’re still a current band,” Elliott says. “It started with a drum idea... and I just kept trying different chords over it until I found something that worked. I spent a month of so working on that song off and on. That’s a luxury we haven’t had since ‘Hysteria.”” The band is so happy with the way “Undefeated” turned out that they’re starting their summer concerts with it. “It’s a fantastic statement of intent,” Elliott says. “We make a big deal of the intro. And I think opening the set with a brand new song shows what we’re about ... We’re no nostalgia band.” While the current tour is in support of Mirror Ball, Elliott says the band isn’t playing the whole set on tour, switching out some songs in favor of tracks from the band’s breakthrough “High and Dry” album and other songs that weren’t singles.
Biggest Hit: “Love Bites” (No. 1, 1988) Sweet-toothed love song: “Pour Some Sugar on Me” (Telling lyric: “I’m hot, sticky sweet, from my head to my feet”) Breakup song: “Love Bites” (Telling lyric: “Love bites, love bleeds, it’s bringin’ me to my knees.”) Sing-along: There’s a bunch, but it’s hard to beat “Rock of Ages” and its chant-along chorus. Weird closer: A revved-up cover of the Sweet nugget “Action” that feels more like an opener than the finale of a veteran act.
SARAH McLACHLAN Biggest Hit:“Adia” (No. 3, 1998) Sweet-toothed love song: “Ice Cream” (Telling lyric: “Your love is better than ice cream.”) Breakup song: “The Path of Thorns” (Telling lyric: “Funny, how it seems that all I’ve tried to do seemed to make no difference to you at all.”) Sing-along:“I Will Remember You,” doo-be-dum-dum-dum. Weird closer: Sure, “Angel” may be her most recognizable song, but it kind of ends the album on a low-key note.
Gloriana to continue on despite departure Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The members of Gloriana found out like the rest of us that band mate Cheyenne Kimball was leaving the group: on Twitter. Singer Tom Gossin told The Associated Press that Kimball took off after their show on Friday without a word and didn’t respond to their emails. The next time they heard from her was a post on the group’s Twitter page Saturday, saying she was leaving the band. The tweet has since been deleted. kimball “A band is a lot like a relationship,” Gossin said. “Throughout the whole four years of this band there’s always ups and downs. It wasn’t particularly a down moment or anything like that. So, yeah, it was a big surprise.” Gloriana, formed in 2008, also includes Gossin’s brother, Mike, and Rachel Reinert. They’ve been on tour this summer and are preparing to release their second studio album this fall. Gloriana won the Academy of Country Music’s top new vocal group award last year. Their hits include “Wild at Heart” and “How Far Do You Wanna Go.”

‘Pooh’ craves sweet spot between old and new By Derrik J. Lang Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — When the filmmakers of Winnie the Pooh were tasked by the Walt Disney Co. with creating a new story about the honey-loving bear two years ago, they had no interest in computer-generating Pooh and his friends. They also wanted no part in projecting Pooh’s latest Hundred Acre Wood adventure in three dimensions or upgrading his classic bound storybook to a tablet computer. Instead, directors Stephen Anderson and Don Hall sought to faithfully return Pooh to his hand-drawn origins for a feature film reminiscent of the 1960s’ Pooh shorts, while also appealing to kids who’ve grown up with Toy Story and Cars. “After we watched the first Pooh films, we felt strongly those characters would still be funny,” said Hall. “The pacing was our challenge. We knew the pacing in those old films would not work, but we couldn’t crank it up to the level of today’s films because it would break Winnie the Pooh. We had to find a line and walk it. That took the most work.” Winnie the Pooh, debuting in the U.S. today, will be the first time the Hundred Acre Wood residents of A.A. Milne’s beloved books have marched into theaters since 2005’s Pooh’s Heffalump Movie. In recent years, Pooh and pals have strayed away from their storybook roots, appearing in directto-DVD movies and as puppets and computer-generated characters in Disney Channel series. “When a character has been around for as many incarnations as Pooh, you sometimes don’t realize when you drift away from the source material that made it resonate in the first place,” said voice actor Tom Kenny, who plays control freak Rabbit. “In the same way that I think it’s smart to reboot 007 or Bat-

Anderson, Don Hall. man, that’s basically what they did with Pooh.” Jim Cummings, who has portrayed Pooh for more than 25 years in films, TV shows and video games, returns as the voice of Pooh and Tigger, as does Travis Oates as Piglet. New actors take on the other roles, including talk show host Craig
Ferguson as know-it-all Owl and Pixar and Sesame Street animator Bud Luckey as loveably dismal donkey Eeyore. John Cleese narrates. “We asked ourselves if the characters were more defined by their voice or more defined by their personality, with the voice not mattering so much,” said Anderson. “If you don’t have the voices of Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet, people are going to go nuts. Those had to be imitations of the originals. That wasn’t so for other characters like Owl and Rabbit.” The new film’s plot is loosely based on stories from Milne’s books and follows Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo,
Owl and Eeyore as they search for both a missing Christopher Robin and a new tail for Eeyore. Along the way, the critters encounter a mysterious creature called a Backson, who was briefly mentioned in 1928’s The House at Pooh Corner. The illustrative journey was drawn by hand at the Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif. Yet this Pooh isn’t totally an old-school endeavor. Animators’ drawings were scanned into computers instead of copied, and the images, including the watercolor backdrops, were digitally painted, not filled in by actual brushes. The other new element in this edition of Pooh was the use of actress-singer Zooey Descha-
nel as the film’s musical narrator. Deschanel croons the classic opening theme, as well other ditties laced throughout the film. The cast and crew are hoping the old-fashioned touches appeal to young and old alike, as well as reinvigorate the 85-yearold franchise. “These movies last forever,” said Cummings. “Snow White was done in 1937, and you can go to your video store and watch it now. You want it to be good because it’s going to outlast me, you and all of us. There is definitely a pressure there to perform. I never leave the fight in the gym. I bring it every time. I shoot for a homerun with every line.”

‘Rango’ a perfect blend of slapstick humor and interesting characters By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers
This week’s DVD releases are a mixed bag of animation, comedy and horror. Rango, Grade A: A chameleon (voiced by Johnny Depp) comes to the rescue of a small town when he’s lost in the desert. Director Gore Verbinski’s first venture into animation is a rootin’ tootin’ good time. It combines the cheesiness of spaghetti Westerns with the offbeat attitude of “Blazing Saddles” and delivers it all in a spectacular computer generated form. You must see Rango. Verbinski finds the perfect blend of slapstick humor and interesting characters to entertain both young and old. Insidious, Grade C-: A family discovers that dark spirits have possessed their son. Patrick Wilson stars. A good way to make a horror film scary is to keep the story so grounded in what’s familiar it creates shivers, such as The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity. Insidious starts out with such an approach, but then writer Leigh Whannell and director James Wan load the film with so many horror film cliches — including a very predictable ending — the effort collapses. Arthur, Grade F: A slacker must choose between an arranged marriage or life without money. Russell Brand and Helen Mirren star. There’s not enough liquor on the planet to obliterate the memory

Rango, voiced by Johnny Depp, is shown in a scene from the feature film. of this film.

The last battle By Colin Covert Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
With its haunted vistas, clanking battles, inspired effects, heroism, treachery, fragile alliances and moral ambiguity, the blockbuster finale of the Harry Potter saga achieves a supernatural splendor. The series has sputtered here and there over the last decade, losing its focus and tempo, but this climax is a triumph of spectacle and well-earned sentiment. Potter is the anti-Transformers, high adventure with heart and soul to spare. Daniel Radcliffe has matured into a solid actor, impressive in tense scenes of deadly combat and quiet moments of subtle, shifting emotion. He puts those skills to good use in Harry’s showdown with Lord Voldemort, the snake-faced tyrant who killed Harry’s parents and aims to crush the world beneath his heel. With Hermione (Emma Watson, her iron-jawed self-confidence draining away) and Ron (Rupert Grint, whose befuddled expression suits his overwhelmed character) Harry returns to Hogwarts to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, the con-
harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2 HHHH rating: PG-13 for some sequences of intense violence, frightening images. Running time: 2:10 Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Director: David Yates tainers in which Voldemort has hidden fragments of his malignant soul. How the school has changed from the joyous theme park of old. Dementors float above the courtyard, their tattered shrouds trailing like jellyfish tentacles. Students march in prison camp formation. Overseeing it all from a high window is Voldemort’s ally, Prof. Snape (Alan Rickman, delivering each line of dialog as if savoring a plum). His expression is stoic but ... could that be a flicker of regret? The story has an epic war-movie feel, as Voldemort’s army strikes back against Harry’s student and staff rebellion. Director David Yates keeps the ebb and flow of
combat clear; for all its blitzkreig energy, the battle never feels incoherent. What distinguishes this from other summer shrapnel-fests is the way it follows individuals that we care about through the conflict. Second fiddles Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) and Prof. McGonagall (Maggie Smith) step forward to play pivotal roles. The film creates a world where heroism and deceit spring from unexpected sources. It’s one of the glories of the Potter series that it can deliver a childlike sense of wonder without requiring a childish black-and-white worldview. And what wonders are on display! The power bolts, spells and invisibility cloaks are beautifully realized, absurd yet persuasive. The brutish ogres and giant tarantulas Voldemort unleashes in the final battle inspire genuine shivers of fear. And there are witty miracles; the dragon demolition of Gringott’s goblin bank is a riotous image of a corrupt financial firm’s collapse. When Hermione transforms herself into a double of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) for a spy mission, Bonham Carter plays Watson impersonating Bellatrix to hilarious effect.
Long-time fans celebrate, mourn the final installment of the Harry Potter movies Near the climax, Harry’s mentor Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) returns in a vision to advise the young wizard that words are potent forms of enchantment, rich with the power to hurt or heal. Here the secret of the series is revealed. If the Potter franchise had been cooked up in a studio pitch meeting with storyboards and visual-effects demos, it could never become the generation-defining phenomenon that it is. It captured the imagination of an era like no cultural event since Beatlemania because it stands on a solid million-word foundation created by J.K. Rowling. She put story and character front and center, and when they’re succeeding, the Potter films do, too. For all the movies’ dazzle and flash and Hippogriffs, the characters are more vivid than the special effects. It is our emotional involvement with the three-dimensional heroes and villains, sidekicks and background players that draws us back time after time. The final chapter ends with an epilogue that puts a lump in your throat and makes you want to watch them all again from the beginning. That’s the definition of a classic.

the last, the acting a little more natural and the direction a little more artful. As much as these books and movies are a link to childhood, and more importantly a link to growing up, for the children who read and watched them, these stories represent as much to parents who read and watched them with their children. To those parents these stories provide a link to their children, a bond over a shared interest and one they can revisit with a book or a movie. I, like so many people my age, have spent so much time trying to imagine the world portrayed by Rowling into existence.

Google social network is all about preserving leadership By Barbara Ortutay Associated Press
NEW YORK — Google didn’t build its new Plus service simply to have an online hangout like Facebook. Rather, Google’s new socialnetworking endeavor is about trying to gain valuable insights into people’s lives and relationships. This could help the company do a better job of targeting ads so that advertisers would pay more and have less reason to spend their money on Facebook. If it succeeds, Plus represents
Google’s best shot yet at muscling into a market that has threatened to topple the Internet search and advertising leader, as Facebook leads the way in making the online world social. Plus is Google’s carefully scripted venture into a territory where its previous efforts have been duds. On the surface, Plus is reminiscent of Facebook — with a Google touch. It lets people share photos and status messages, chat with friends and acquaintances and follow news updates. A prominent feature called circles allows users
to organize the people they interact with into groups, such as family, close friends or fishing buddies. Users can choose to share things only among certain circles. Google Plus is still in a restricted, test phase, and invites to join are highly coveted. Time will tell if it takes off among the broader public or if it’s too little, too late to face off with Facebook and Twitter on the social front — just as Microsoft has failed to surpass Google in search with latecomer Bing. Google Inc., which reports its latest quarterly results on Thursday, has done quite well without
its own social network. Its search engine accounts for two-thirds of queries made in the U.S., and even more in parts of Europe. Its revenue is expected to surpass $36 billion this year, the bulk of it from text ads that appear alongside search results and other Web content. But online behaviors are changing. People are spending more time on Facebook and other social networks. And they are increasingly relying on their friends’ recommendations when deciding where to eat and what movies to watch.
Google has bungled past social media efforts. A sharing program called Wave was quickly killed off because users didn’t know what to make of it. Buzz, a later venture, was the center of a privacy fiasco. Google had been too aggressive about automatically creating circle of friends, which inadvertently revealed whom they’ve corresponded with on Gmail. Early response to Google Plus has been positive. But that’s no guarantee for broader success. As Google botched one social media effort after another, Facebook grew exponentially.

‘Damages’ returns with a new case on a new network By Frazier Moore Associated Press
NEW YORK — No TV drama sows intrigue while tossing viewers wicked curves like Damages. When this crafty legal thriller premiered four years ago, it installed Glenn Close as high-stakes litigator Patty Hewes, who then hired Ellen Parsons (played by Rose Byrne) as her hotshot but callow protegee. Before that initial season was over, the pair were not only pitted against fierce opposition, but at the same time, against each other. (Didn't Patty try to have Ellen whacked?) In the two seasons after that, the series never let up (while bringing Close two Emmys and a Golden Globe), even as viewers denied Damages more than a cult following. So its network, FX, pulled the plug. Then, in the sort of dizzying reversal that's standard practice for Damages, it sprang back to life with the news, a year ago, that it would move to the DirecTV satellite service, where it's now guaranteed not one but two more seasons. It returned to the air Wednesday on DirecTV's Audience Network, as wicked and addictive as ever. "I think the show is even darker than before, if it could possibly have gotten any darker," says Byrne. But as she speaks, her main concern isn't darkness but the blazing sun above. Ivory-skinned and wearing a black pantsuit, she is seated alongside Close in the protective shade of a portable canopy, killing time between camera setups at Manhattan's Battery Park. On this hot June day, they are there to shoot a scene for this season's finale. "We're dealing with really serious stuff and bad people this season," Byrne points out. "It's pretty heavy material." In the season premiere, Ellen discovers that a former high school beau and decorated soldier has suffered a traumatic ordeal while working for High Star, a private security firm hired by the U.S. government to carry out special missions in Afghanistan. Ellen wants to wage a high-profile case against High Star on her friend's behalf — and to boost her own career. She seeks help from Patty, who, uncharacteristically, warns her to leave this hornet's nest alone. It's a story line that brings the unheeding Ellen back into Patty's law-office lair after having struck out on her own last season. "I was so relieved that Rosie was back at Hewes & Associates," says Close. "It was so much more fun than last year, when I hardly saw her. I love it when we're working together. Rosie and I have such a history together."

‘China Beach,’ ‘Brooklyn Bridge’ deserve DVD releases By Rich Heldenfels Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal
Q: In the movie Angel Eyes, with Jennifer Lopez and Jim Caviezel, there is a trumpet solo played by Caviezel’s character. What is the name of the song, who plays it and is it on CD? A: The song is the jazz/pop chestnut “Nature Boy,” famous also for renditions by Nat King Cole and others. The movie uses a recording by trumpeter Jon Hassell. It is on the Angel Eyes soundtrack, which is available on CD, and on a Hassell CD called Fascinoma. You can learn more about Hassell at his website, http://www. jonhassell.com. Q: We often watch TNT and USA, which run many episodes/marathons of Bones, Law & Order and its spin-offs, and NCIS. Is there a reason we don’t see JAG on these stations? It seems like a good fit. A: JAG was repeated for many years on USA, which still indicates on its website that it has the show, although I have not seen it listed on the upcoming schedule. If you get the Sleuth channel, it has scheduled JAG replays on Thursdays. And the entire series is on DVD. Q: I remember a TV series back in the mid-’70s. It was about a guy turning into a wolf. It was called Lucan. I can’t find anything on the TV series. It might have been on for two years maybe. A: The reference Total Television says the series aired occasionally on ABC in 1977-78. Kevin Brophy played Lucan, a young man who had lived with wolves until he was 10, and who was searching for his birth parents and his real identity. The series also starred John Randolph as a researcher at the university where Lucan had been studied (and where he escaped) and Don Gordon as a bounty hunter pursuing Lucan. There are some clips from the show on YouTube. Q: I’m interested to know whether the television series China Beach is currently officially available on DVD. If not, the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the series occurs in
Kim D. Johnson/Associated Press file photo
Jim Caviezel and Jennifer Lopez star in the 2001 film ‘Angel Eyes.’ 2013, and it would be a great opportunity for Warner Home Video to release it. A: Any day would be a good one to get this series available again. But published reports over the years have indicated that the cost and difficulty of getting rights to the music used so extensively have kept the series off DVD. (The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows sounds irritated, and more than a little stuffy, in alluding to show’s “incessant 1960s rock ’n’ roll songs.”) Some series have issued home-video versions with different music substituted, but that has almost always proved disappointing, and that would especially be the case with something as carefully structured as this 1988-91 Vietnam drama. Unfortunately, it is not alone among shows that readers long to see again but have not made it to video. Q: Many years ago (about 10) there was a weekly series called Brooklyn Bridge. It was the story of a grandmother, grandfather, mar-
ried daughter, her husband and their two boys. They lived in an apartment building in Brooklyn, N.Y. (naturally). Has this series ever been reproduced on DVD? A: Based on the childhood of Family Ties creator Gary David Goldberg, Brooklyn Bridge was a lovely comedydrama that aired on CBS over two seasons from 1991 to 1993. Goldberg once said in an interview that the first or second question people ask him is whether Brooklyn Bridge will be on DVD. And in 2009-10, there were signs that it had gotten past the various clearances (music, old TV clips) to finally get a DVD release from CBS Home Entertainment. Unfortunately, that has not happened and the TV Worth Watching website — www.tvworthwatching.com — has reported at length about Goldberg’s dismay over the delays. (Goldberg’s own website, www.garydavidgolberg. com, links to the TV Worth Watching report.) As with China Beach, this is a show audiences deserve to revisit.
