New book offers inside look at life of Somali pirates The Pirates of Somalia: Inside Their Hidden World by Jay Bahadur; Pantheon, 2011; 300 pages; $26.95

By Art Gould Special to The Star

The Maersk Alabama was hijacked several hundred kilometers off the central coast of Somalia on April 8, 2009 — the first U.S.-registered ship commandeered by pirates in 200 years.

Three days later, Navy Seal snipers from the destroyer USS Bainbridge killed three of the hijackers and detained a fourth, the gang’s leader, Abdiweli Muse.

Muse was taken to New York where he was tried, convicted of piracy and sentenced to 34 years in prison.

However, the 2009 incident of the MV Maersk Alabama did not by any means end Somalian piracy in the waters off the so-called Horn of Africa. To this day, pirates continue to waylay vessels in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

If anything, matters have grown much worse since the first recorded act of piracy in modern Somalia, including when the cargo ship MV Naviluck was taken over by pirates off the Somali province of Puntland on Jan. 12, 1991. Just this past February, pirates hijacked the private yacht Quest and executed all four Americans on board, who were on a mission to distribute Bibles worldwide.

“The current trend of ransom inflation is almost certain to continue unabated … and pirate negotiators have only just begun to realize how much ship owners are willing to pay,” journalist and freelance CBS News correspondent Jay Bahadur writes in The Pirates Of Somalia: Inside Their Hidden World, a meticulously researched, boots-on-theground account of modern buccaneers.

Since warships from the nations of the world — including the U.S. Navy — sailed into the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean after December 2008, ostensibly to protect the shipping lanes there “the absolute number of hijackings steadily rose,” Bahadur reports. In 2008, there were 49 documented hijackings, in 2009 there were 68, in 2010 there were 74, and

Crew members celebrate on the deck of the Maersk Alabama at the Mombasa port in Kenya, April 12, 2009, after their captain was released from pirates.

2011 is already on pace to exceed 2010.

“Since 2009, the economic incentive … has been steadily increasing,” Bahadur writes. The average pirate ransom in 2008 was $1.25-$1.5 million.

That grew to $2 million-$2.5 million in 2009, and $3 million$4 million in 2010. The record so far is a $9.5 million ransom paid for the release of a South Korean oil tanker in the late spring of 2011. Between 2008 and 2011, Somali pirates earned an estimated $25 million to $90 million per year.

In the future, Bahadur expects pirate gangs to be much more organized, with rival organizations “increasingly tempted to rip off successful pirate groups … Piracy might well develop into a mafia-style business complete with infighting, turf wars and mob hits.”

Bahadur clearly identifies Somali piracy’s evolutionary development: From local Somali fishermen protecting their coastal waters to invasive foreign trawlers to an extralegal, rag-tag Somali Coast Guard to unabashed piracy of merchant vessels for ransom.

“Five years ago, the Somali pirates were little more than fishermen who had traded their nets for assault rifles … Since then, they have blossomed into maritime trade professionals … that has allowed

them to strike deep in the Indian Ocean,” Bahadur writes.

Finding the root cause of piracy in Somalia is an important goal of the book, which Bahadur researched for months on the ground in Somalia, living among the pirates of coastal Puntland, the epicenter of piracy in the Horn of Africa.

For the author, Somalia today is a perfect example of a modern failed nation.

When the Somali state collapsed in 1991, the country became a land without a functioning government, with little or no governance outside the clan structure that divided the population into a collection of warring families loyal only to themselves. What followed was lawlessness, home-grown armed guards, organized criminal gangs, crumbling infrastructures, deregulation, extreme poverty, famine and the birth of modern piracy.

The Pirates Of Somalia is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding a once great nation’s tragic decline and fall.

Somalia was once one of Africa’s most productive and promising post-colonial countries. And Bahadur warns the solution to piracy in that part of the world must be found on land and not merely at sea.

Suds-Fest adds community bottle art to yearly event Just how creative can creators be? Very creative, evidently, when they are given the challenge of participating in the Tabletop Art Exhibition to be seen at the Berman Museum’s SudsFest on Sept. 17.

Community artists have at least 17 Hervey entries Folsom for this Artists in Action firsttime component of the beer-tasting and food-sampling event. The decoration themes run the gamut from simple to complex, but each decorated beer bottle is unique.

These colorful pressedwood bottle shapes will be stand-up centerpieces for tables at Suds-Fest, adding visual art for the senses along with the live music, food and drink that’s planned. At the end of the evening, the bottles will be offered in a silent auction, according to Margie Conner, marketing manager at the museum. The proceeds will benefit the museum’s collection care project. The pieces can now be seen on the gallery page on the museum’s website at www. bermanmuseum.org.

The theme of Karena Goedde’s entry is easily recognizable. Her bottle art reflects Mardi Gras, with all the trimmings, capturing the essence of merry-making. Although she’s never been in New Orleans on Fat Tuesday, Goedde visited

“I just thought of Mardi Gras and everything that goes with it,” she said. Yet, her piece is extremely eyecatching to be a work by a first-time artist. Green, gold and purple are dominant in her design on both sides of the piece, and a crown, beads, gemstones and feathers further suggest the celebration theme. A mask

contributes to the disguise and costume aura of Mardi Gras; the idea came from Saks High School’s recent senior prom, which was planned around a masquerade theme.

Another entry that truly carries the spirit (and spirits) of Suds-Fest is the beermaid in bottle art by J.C. Morgan. The artist’s style is primarily folk art, she said, with a drip technique used for blending the background colors. Morgan painted a classic beermaid

figure, “probably from Ireland” as she imagines, complete with beermaid attire. On the back of the bottle, she made abstract bubbles containing taverndrinking poems by three poets she found online.

Morgan’s works have been exhibited in Talladega’s Heritage Museum and Agora Gallery in New York City, as well as the J.C. Morgan Art Gallery in Quintard Mall, which she operated with her husband.

“I enjoy the beautiful world collection at the Berman Museum, and my family enjoys the museum’s activities,” Morgan commented. “Contributing art was the least I can do to support such a wonderful resource.”

The doors at Suds-Fest open at 6 p.m. Sept. 17.

The event, a fundraiser for the museum, provides a chance to sample imported and domestic beers plus a taste of food from area restaurants. There will also be a wine bar, and a table of water, coffee and sodas.

The Allen Crow Band will provide the music.

Attendees must be 21 or older, and all ticket holders will be asked to show a photo ID. Tickets must be purchased in advance by calling David Ford at 256237-6261. Tickets are $35 for non-museum members and $30 for members. The group rate is $25 per person for 10 or more tickets and $20 for designated driver tickets.

Gabrielle Giffords-Mark Kelly joint memoir coming out Nov. 15 NEW YORK — The joint memoir of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, is coming out Nov. 15.

The book, titled Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope, was written with The Last Lecture co-author Jeffrey Zaslow.

Scribner spokesman Brian Belfiglio said Wednesday that Giffords “has been fully engaged with the collaborative writing process of the book at every step.” An Arizona Democrat, she is still recovering from the Jan. 8 shooting when a gunman opened fire outside a Tucson-area grocery store as she met with constituents.

According to Scribner, the book will be a “deeply personal account” covering everything from Giffords’ political career to Kelly’s time on the Space Shuttle Endeavour to her recovery over the past several months. ­— Associated Press

Madonna announces new album due in spring

By Gerrick D. Kennedy team with William Orbit, Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Madonna has confirmed rumors that she is at work on her next album.

While promoting her directorial film effort, W.E., at the Venice Film Festival, the pop diva announced that she’d “started a little bit of work in the studio” on her asyet-untitled 12th album, with the first single pegged for a February or March release.

It has been speculated that Madonna would re-

who co-produced and co-wrote the majority of her hit 1998 album, Ray of Light. In an interview with Sweden’s Sveriges Television, she didn’t exactly shoot down the collaboration rumor, only saying that fans should expect “more good music.”

The disc will be her first since splitting from longtime home Warner Bros. Records and inking a 360-deal with music conglomerate Live Nation.

Her last album, 2008’s Hard Candy, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Special to The Star

Rockers Lynam to play Anniston

By Erin Williams Special to The Star

Jacob, David and Mark Lynam may never release another album, but that doesn’t mean their music will die.

The Birmingham-based group, which will perform at The Smoking Moose in Anniston Saturday, released its final album, a live compilation entitled Thank You, Good Night! in November 2010, and decided to not record any more new music.

“We told everybody we’re not gonna break up … we all want to do different things,” front man and guitarist Jacob said.

Since then, the members (who choose to be recognized by the same surname when playing) operate on a general schedule of playing Thursday through Saturday and working on separate projects Sunday through Wednesday, Jacob said. The band has no plans to slow down its live show sched-

ule, and is not short on having songs to choose from.

“We’ve got six albums worth of material,” the guitarist said.

The members support each other in their new endeavors — “We’re each other’s biggest fans,” Jacob said — and have definitely taken advantage of their time apart. Jacob recently won an Emmy for his songwriting efforts on the CW television network. “[I’m] absolutely blown away by that,” he said.

Drum player David has had his hands full as a new father — “We’re proud uncles,” Jacob said — and bass player Mark has been in Miami filming the movie version of the musical Rock of Ages, which stars Tom Cruise and Russell Brand.

“He’s having the time of his life,” Jacob said, and maintains that Mark has not let all the fame go to his head.

“He’s like a little kid in a candy store,” he said. “His energy’s a lot more positive

… we’re so proud of him.”

Jacob says it’s sometimes hard to believe that 10 years have passed since they’ve been playing together.

“When you play music … things really don’t change.

You don’t age, you don’t do anything other than just [play], and every night doesn’t seem different than the night before ’cause you’re just in your routine.”

The realization doesn’t hit until “you see people … that will come up to you and [say] ‘Hey…I was a senior in college in 2001, and I used to see you guys all the time.’”

While it may feel “like it was only two or three years ago,” Jacob said, it is quickly realized that the old fans they encounter have “lived two lifetimes since then.”

Jacob states that through all the changes, the band is held together by friendship, trust and “love for one another.” The members have been able to maintain their momentum, and

always bring high spirits to their performances.

“You can expect to see an arena rock show in a club, and have a good time,” Jacob said. And even though the members have gone their separate ways, Jacob maintains that it’s not hard to fall back into the groove of playing again whenever they get together.

“We all still talk every day. We’re like brothers — we’re like family. I guess we’re all so close, it just works,” he said. “Playing live shows … is something that we’ll always do.”

Lynam will perform at 10 p.m. Saturday at The Smoking Moose. For more information on the band, check out Lynam’s website (lynammusic.com); Facebook page (facebook.com/ lynammusic) and Twitter @ lynammusic.

Left to right: The ‘wacky’ ladies of pop, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha show off their unique style at MTV events.

Ladies of pop winning with wacky, weird tactics

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

Whether it’s being encased in an egg or wearing slabs of meat, there’s never a question of whether Lady Gaga will make a spectacle of herself at an awards show — the question is just what kind.

So when the MTV Video Music Awards came around this year, Gaga didn’t disappoint.

Though she dressed somewhat conservatively in short black hair, a dingy white t-shirt, a black blazer and pants, it was whom she embodied that made headlines — a man, whom she called Jo Calderone. The temporary gender switch marked yet another act in Gaga’s strange pop odyssey.

But what made the VMAs so noteworthy was that Gaga wasn’t the only oddity who graced the stage. In one corner there was Katy Perry, sporting pink hair and a giant yellow cube on top of her head. And then there was

Nicki Minaj, who wore a colorful surgical mask, a rainbowcolored wig, a mini-tutu made out of cubic designs, with an attached string of stuffed toys.

It wasn’t too long ago pop’s top ladies were likely to try to out-sex each other, from plunging necklines to gyrating stage performances.

But Gaga, Minaj and Perry are part of a group of contemporary pop stars who are finding success by defying the conventional definition of sexiness with oddball tactics and wacky outfits, recalling pop stars from the past, from Cyndi Lauper to Annie Lennox to Grace Jones.

“All three are emblematic of the millennial generation, who are constantly remixing and reshaping their identities,” said MTV president Stephen Friedman of Perry, Gaga and Minaj.

“It used to be all about the jocks and the beautiful women, and now the nerd is the new jock,” Friedman continued. “The currency is about being smart

and funny and different and I think that’s what they’re playing into — (it) is how can they be different than what you can expect the day before.”

Ke$ha, who was absent from this year’s VMAs, has also rebelled against the norm. She burst on the scene with her sideshow style singing about brushing her teeth with Jack Daniels; she now wears a necklace of her fans’ teeth. She wears her disheveled look with pride: At last year’s VMAs, Minaj sported a fitted dress and pink wig, Perry also sported a sexy dress with pink and purple highlights in her hair — Ke$ha rocked a trash bag.

“People are like, ‘Oh, maybe you should tone the homeless thing down?’ It’s just not going to happen,” Ke$ha said from Council Bluffs, Iowa, where she performed her “Get $leazy Tour.” “I like looking homeless sometimes. I like looking like a drunken grandma sometimes. I like looking like a tribal warrior from the future sometimes and

I’m not going to stop playing with my style for anybody.”

Being the “weird” girl has definitely enhanced these ladies’ platinum profiles. But Gaga, Minaj and Perry didn’t always appear to be oddballs.

Gaga started off with a Jersey Shore-esque tan and straight blonde extensions. The weirdest part of her look was oversized — yet trendy — sunglasses. Her music matched her style: Her debut CD, The Fame, is filled with mostly safe-sounding pop songs that are club-friendly and radio-ready.

As Gaga became edgier (her “Paparazzi” video featured her dancing in crutches), so did her music. Her follow-up disc, The Fame Monster featured songs like the “Bad Romance,” with bizarre lyrics like, “I want your ugly, I want your disease.” The photo that graces her latest album, the top-selling Born This Way, features her as a hybrid of a person and a motorcycle; on it, she sings of Judas, of being a gov-

ernment hooker, and in German.

“You look at Lady Gaga and she’s reinvented herself more times in one year than Madonna did in 20 years,” Friedman said.

Minaj evolved from an image as an oversexed street rapper to an animated R&B-pop singer and a bona fide pop star, with a penchant for Barbies and wild outfits and wigs that make her seem cartoonish, by design.

Though Perry’s first breakout hit was “I Kissed a Girl,” the singer has infused her sexuality with an often silly, farcical persona that makes her an accessible, fun pin-up.

Ke$ha says their wackiness is a reflection of their confidence and individuality.

“I feel like the way I dress and the way I speak and the way I sing and the kind of music I make — it all comes from me,” she said. “I’m connected to people because I’m not just parading around like I’m the sexiest thing on the planet, ‘cause I’m not.”

George Strait still going strong on new album

By Michael Mccall Associated Press

Associated Press

George Strait, Here for a Good Time (MCA Nashville) Thirty years after his MCA Records debut, George Strait is making the most adventurous music of his career.

He still serves up the breadwinners — western swing, honky-tonk and smooth country ballads — that have made him one of the most enduring stars of all time.

Yet, at age 59, he stretches out in his arrangements and themes in ways that challenge his remarkably pliant voice and that make statements he didn’t dare in the past.

He’s also writing more songs, a trend that started with his previous album Twang. This time, Strait contributes seven songs, nearly

doubling the number he’s written in his career.

He cowrites all of them, including the current hit — the wonderfully swinging “Here For A Good Time” — with his son Bubba Strait; six of them include assistance from Strait’s favorite writer, Dean Dillon.

The Texan assumes the role of an alcoholic on two moving ballads, “Poison” and “Drinkin’ Man”; he also takes on gospel (“Three Nails And A Cross”) and old-time rock ‘n’ roll (“Blue Marlin Blues”), and he tackles two daring covers (Delbert McClinton’s classic “Lone Star

Guetta mails in ‘Nothing But The Beat’

By Ron Harris Associated Press

David Guetta, Nothing But The Beat (Capitol) David Guetta’s new album Nothing But The Beat presents the Grammy-winning DJ and producer with a formidable task. Take good music from good artists and it infuse it

with a dance club floor-filling frenzy. If there’s anyone who can, surely it’s the urban dance-track maestro who collaborates with A-list artists.

Right?

Well, half-right.

On Nothing But The Beat, Guetta accomplishes the main mis-

sion, but it’s nothing to run out and buy a new pair of dancing shoes for. This is a fairly routine treatment at best, and Guetta doesn’t inject enough of his own style to take the music to a level that the list of featured vocalists couldn’t do on their own.

Guetta is on auto-pilot these days. He’s on top of his game, but his game currently is to deliver safe club music to the masses. There’s noth-

ing daring in his approach to production and remixing and for this result, he’s failed a bit.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: Thank you Jennifer Hudson. Even David Guetta’s soft-sell approach couldn’t ruin “Night Of Your Life.”

Hudson’s voice is perfect here, with all the right emotion in all the right places.

Minaj and Hudson saved this album from being a total loss.

Blues” and Jesse Winchester’s introspective “A Showman’s Life”).

Strait has spent his career defying music industry conventions; as he starts his fourth decade as a star, he’s proving that Nashville’s focus on youth still has to make room for an old-timer who’s making music as undeniably strong as ever.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: “I’ll Always Remember You,” written

by Strait, his son and Dillon, is the most autobiographical song the veteran has recorded. A love letter to his fans, the traditional country ballad includes a recitation reflecting on how he never expected to enjoy the career he has —and as grateful as he is, he’s not done yet.

CONTAGIONHHH rating: PG-13 for disturbing content and some language.

Running time: 1:43 Starring: Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne and Jude Law

Before you see a single frame in Contagion you listen to a cough, and by the time the movie is just a few minutes old Gwyneth Paltrow’s Beth Emhoff — the character heard hacking off-screen — suffers a fatal seizure.

MEV-1, the fictional virus with the starring role in director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns’ pandemic thriller, is nearly as deadly as 1918’s Spanish flu, but the filmmakers are less interested in mass graves than epidemiological war rooms. “Oh, my God. Should I call someone?” a coroner asks when SODERBERGH he examines Emhoff’s brain. Replies his colleague: “Call everyone.”

Constructed much like Soderbergh’s Traffic — overlapping, international narratives linked to the central plot — Contagion has far more in common with Albert Camus’ The Plague than I Am Legend or Outbreak: How does civilization react to a global health crisis? “A lot of really dangerous human behavior,” Burns said, “comes out of fear.”

Suddenly widowed, Mitch Emhoff (Matt Damon) tries to protect his daughter as the virus races worldwide, triggering quarantines, quack cures and panic.

While the mutating virus marches forward in time, Contagion’s epidemiologists and molecular biologists struggle to rewind the clock; only in discovering how and where MEV-1 originated and spread can it be understood and controlled.

The film’s heroes are the doctors and the agencies charged with preventing a real-life replica. At the World Health Organization, Dr. Leonora Orantes (Marion Cotillard) tries to trace the virus back to Patient Zero. Inside the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Ellis Cheever (Laurence Fishburne) and Dr. Erin Mears (Kate Winslet) struggle to control the virus’ spread, while Dr. Ally Hextall (Jennifer Ehle), at great personal risk, searches for a vaccine. “Our exposure to the real people like this is strictly through television sound bites,” Soderbergh said. “But that’s the smallest and least interesting part of what they do.”

Soderbergh said he was determined to avoid the usual mistakes and cliches of the genre: The science would be correct, and nameless hordes wouldn’t succumb. “When you’re making a movie about an issue this serious, inaccuracy and misinformation is not cool,” Soderbergh said.

While Contagion doesn’t minimize the mortality of its pandemic, it’s ultimately a hopeful tale of how people facing extreme peril rise to the challenge. But the filmmakers admit that they now look behind them when they hear someone cough. “It made me nervous,” Soderbergh said of making Contagion. “Like Dr. Cheever says in the movie, ‘We’re due.’”

Ferrell tops new releases with ‘Everything Must Go’

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

Three good — but very different — choices top this week’s DVD releases.

Everything Must Go, Grade B-minus: Will Ferrell plays an alcoholic who relapses and has a yard sale as a way to start over.

Ferrell again shows that under the right, tight guidance — this time by director Dan Rush — he’s a competent actor. The best evidence comes in how Ferrell plays the character as an alcoholic rather than a drunk. Instead of resorting to the falling-down slapstick that so many actors use to portray someone who drinks too much, Ferrell’s performance shows the pain and misery of addiction.

Everything Must Go isn’t perfect. Rush’s script, based on Raymond Carver’s short story Why Don’t You Dance, takes a few convenient turns that shields some of the darkness that hangs around Ferrell’s character.

Hanna, Grade B-plus: A young girl is trained to be an assassin. Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana star.

Director Joe Wright’s film at times has the excitement and visual grandeur of a big-budget action movie. Then there are moments where it takes on the emotional structure and smallness of an independent film. Under a less creative hand these cinematic styles might have clashed, but Wright blends them with such smooth transitions the movie works on both levels.

The big-budget part features the training of 16-

X-Men: First Class Grade A-minus: A look at how the team of mutants was brought together. James McAvoy stars.

The film retreats into the comic-book mythology to present the beginnings of the mutant heroes. Other films have touched on the origins, but none has offered as complete and entertaining a peek into the past.

Comic-book purists will have several points of contention with the screenplay

by Ashley Miller, Jane Goldman, Zack Stentz and Matthew Vaughn, which takes some major liberties with the X-Men history. But such liberties are OK when the final result is so impressive.

Also new on DVD this week: Scarface: The special Blu-ray comes with a digital copy of the film and a DVD of the original 1932 Scarface.

Community: The Complete Second Season: Joel McHale stars in this college-based comedy.

for writing notes on her hand, and ABC’s Claire Shipman said the biggest news in Washington was Michael Jordan giving hints he might return to the basketball court.

Out of a commercial late in the morning shows, even cutting one commercial short on CNN, suddenly came camera shots of a burning World Trade Center, ones that would dominate screens for several hours.

Newscasters were careful before the story became clear.

Matt Lauer initially called it an “accident.” Morning shows effectively used phone calls from eyewitnesses adding details beyond the faraway camera shots. “It’s mind-boggling and it’s horrifying,” one witness, Jennifer Oberstein, told Lauer.

Then came one of many unthinkable moments: a second plane darting into pictures and crashing into the second tower, exploding in a fireball and falling debris.

“We just saw another plane coming in to the other side,” Gibson said. “This looks like there is some sort of concerted effort to attack the World Trade Center that is underway.”

Later, when the towers collapsed, one after the other, it seemed so inconceivable that anchors initially couldn’t grasp what viewers had seen on the screen. NBC’s Tom Brokaw talked of structural damage so severe that the buildings would probably have to be brought down — after one of them already came down on its own.

“The whole side has collapsed,” ABC’s Peter Jennings said when the first tower came down.

“The whole building has collapsed,” ABC’s reporter on the scene, Don Dahler, corrected him.

“The whole building has collapsed?” Jennings responded.

CNN’s Aaron Brown responded with the horror most viewers no doubt felt when the second tower fell. “Good Lord,” he said.

“There are no words.”

“The landscape of New York has just been changed and you have to presume that thousands of lives have been extinguished,” Jennings said.

In those early hours, ABC’s John Miller and NBC’s Andrea Mitchell had raised the name of Osama bin Laden as possibly the man behind the attacks, even as the networks reported the false

claim of a Palestinian organization taking credit.

Also interesting are the perspectives from overseas. The BBC in London, for example, showed video of people jumping or falling from the towers — images that American networks stayed away from. In Moscow, a newscaster who broke into a program to report on the towers collapsing displayed a voice halting with emotion.

The site is easy to navigate, with timelines that direct users to specific events of the morning, such as when the second plane hit the trade center and when each tower collapsed. It can be frustrating to use, however, as the video is displayed in 30- or 40-second blocks instead of continuous streams. And there are occasional gaps; large portions of CBS’ coverage is missing, for example.

Kahle said he believed it was important to provide this resource. There are surprisingly few ways for people to go back and see television news reports, at least compared to print, he noted.

“It is so important yet it has been, up until now, quite ephemeral,” he said.

Hot Str ngs

By Deirdre Long dlong@annistonstar.com

While the weather might be cooling down, things are just getting warmed up when it comes to local bluegrass.

“In the fall and in the spring,” said Eddie Murray, the upright bass player for local bluegrass band Bent Creek . “‘Cause it’s too hot in the summer (to play bluegrass).”

Whether it’s a well-known festival such as the Foggy Hollow Bluegrass Gatherin’ in Wellington or the new Terrapin Creek Bluegrass Festival in Piedmont, over the next few weeks, bluegrass lovers will have their pick of some of the best music northeast Alabama has to offer.

Ahava Springs Bluegrass Gospel Festival Sept. 9-10, Gallant (11 miles west of Attalla) In its third year, this semi-annual festival features several family bands such as The Sparks Family of Belmont, Miss., and The Carrell Family, which hosts the festival.

“We choose bluegrass gospel and family events so people with families feel comfortable bringing their families,” said Lamilla Carrell, the mother and guitar player for the band. Her husband, David, who plays the upright bass, picks the bands because he likes “driving music, with good talent.”

The festival starts Friday, with pickin’ from 1-5 p.m. and bands performing after that. The music continues Saturday with bands from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and pickin’ from then until dark. Tent camping is available, as well as several spots for vehicle campers. Food and craft vendors will be on location, and the show goes on rain or shine. The suggested donation for Friday is $5 and $10 for Saturday, with children 16 and under attending free.

After band costs, all proceeds from the festival go to the development of Ahava Springs, a facility that teaches how to use biblical leadership in the home. For more information and directions, go to www.ahavasprings.com.

Terrapin Creek Bluegrass Festival Sept. 10, Piedmont (Highway 9 between Piedmont and Centre) While the members of Bent Creek enjoy playing at festivals such as Foggy Hollow, they wanted to share their music with folks a little closer to home.

“We needed something around here locally,” said Eddie Murray of Bent Creek. The band hosting the event, along with the Redneck Yacht Club Canoe and Kayak Rental. “It’s a good location, and we don’t play much

locally.”

The music kicks off at noon with musicians such as Albert Simpson, Valley Road and Cottonmouth Creek and continues until 5 p.m., when there will be a supper break. The bands begin again at 6 and will continue until about 11 p.m.

“After that, who knows? All the pickin’ will start,” Murray said.

Primitive RV sites and tent camping will be available, as well as concessions. Tickets are $15 and children under 12 are free. For more information and directions, go to www.bentcreekband.com.

Foggy Hollow Bluegrass Gatherin’ Sept. 23-24, Wellington (between Anniston and Gadsden on Highway 431) Now the largest and longest-running bluegrass festival in the state, the Foggy Hollow Bluegrass Gatherin’ is still going strong, despite the tornadoes that hit part of the festival grounds on April 27.

“We lost half the barn, which serves as the restrooms and showers, and lost a lot of the (RV) hook-ups,” said Glen Williams, one of the founders of the festival. “We weren’t damaged in the music part … it stopped at the concession stand.”

Williams says it’s kind of ironic, because the Gatherin’ partners decided to drop this year’s June performance out of the usual semi-annual festival to save money. But the grounds are now back to their original shape, and are ready for the hundreds of bluegrass lovers to descend on acts such as Doyle Lawson, one of bluegrass’ greatest.

“He’s one of the most popular acts in the nation,” Williams said. “I’ve been listening to Doyle Lawson forever.”

Lawson, 67, began playing music when he was young, and met Jimmy Martin, the “king of bluegrass,” when he was 14, and later moved to Nashville and played in Jimmy Martin’s band, as well as others. From there he formed Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and the band has gone on to win many International Bluegrass Music Association awards, including Vocal Group of the Year from 2001-2006.

Other musicians performing at the Gatherin’ include Little Roy & Lizzie, Kelli Johnson and Newgrass Troubadours, among others.

The shows begin at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23 for $15 and 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, for $25. Tent camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information and directions, go to www.foggyhollow.com.

‘Something they can relate to’ CAST season opener ‘more edgy’ than usual fare

By Brett Buckner Special to The Star

There have been times over the past few weeks when Angie Robinson playfully feared she might be suffering from multiple personality disorder.

But Robinson hasn’t lost her grip on reality. Rather, she is among the four actors performing in the upcoming CAST production of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. The musical comedy, which opens Thursday, Sept. 15, calls for each actor to play upward of 10 separate characters. Such Sybil-like transformations have been a fun challenge for the 33-year-old actress in her first CAST show.

“It’s been a lot of work,” said Robinson, who graduated from Jacksonville State University with a degree in drama.

“Try to grasp onto something that identifies that character to me, whether it’s an accent, a mannerism, a way they fidget — a lot of times it’s vocally. We’ve all made a concerted effort to give each character a distinct voice.”

Along with Robinson, the rest of the cast includes Steve Simmons, Cody Harrell and Heather Garlick. Working with such a small cast, with each taking on such unique — not to mention multiple — characters is a true opportunity to shine, says Kim Dobbs, who is co-directing the play alongside Eric Trainer, a drama professor at JSU. “It’s a tour de force for an actor,” Dobbs said. “This is a rare chance for them to do so much … like three or four performances all in one.”

This play will also be something of a departure for CAST audiences as well.

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change — as told through four separate vignettes — is a modern take on the ins and outs, ups and downs of love, marriage and relationships. There’s some adult language, often set to music, and content that would probably earn a PG-13 rating.

Billed as the longest-running offBroadway play, I Love You offers an honest, insightful and hilarious look at the

Thursdays are “pay what you want” night Contact: 256-820-CAST or www.castalabama.com mating game.

“It’s a bit more edgy than anything we’ve done,” Dobbs said. “For me, it was about stepping out of the saccharine and into the real world. I think our audience is going to understand and relate to this story. Part of our mission statement is to educate and enlighten as well as to entertain. We want to open the eyes of our audience to the wider world, and we aren’t going to do that by always playing it safe.”

And it’s a story everyone’s painfully familiar with, Dobbs adds.

“It’s art affecting life,” she said. “This is life that’s happening every single day right here in Anniston.”

Robinson believes I Love You is perfect for everyone. And given the myriad of characters she’s playing, she should know.

“It’s really a good gap show,” she said.

“It runs the gamut from first-kiss jitters, to one of the characters gets picked up at a funeral, and I’m in my 60s. So no matter what they’re age, anybody who’s ever been on a date will see something they can relate to.”

Given its realistic take on relationships, I Love You provides a unique opportunity for CAST to push the envelope a bit without alienating its core audience.

Walters’ ‘View’ primed for run at top of ratings

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — With Oprah Winfrey gone, daytime television is ready for a new monarch.

Barbara Walters and the show she invented 15 years ago, The View, pronounce themselves ready to step up. She may be past 80 now, but would YOU bet against her?

The show began its new season Tuesday, with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as guest. In a muddled daytime picture, The View plans to compete aggressively for displaced Winfrey viewers with a more topical feel, aggressive booking of guests and a few pages ripped from Oprah’s playbook.

“Oprah was the only other show that did some of the things that we did,” said Bill Geddie, executive producer. “Quite honestly, some of the people that we might have gotten second, we’ll be getting first now.”

The View has just as much chance as any to become the daytime talk leader. Late afternoon, where Winfrey’s show ran across most of the country, is considered a more desired time slot than the 11 a.m. home of The View. But a big mixture of personalities like Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres, Anderson Cooper and Dr. Oz will now be competing in the afternoon, some of them new to their time slots or new to the business, and none goes in with a huge advantage in the ratings, said Bill Carroll, an expert in the daytime market for Katz Media.

Meanwhile, The View is a fixture at its time of day.

“Consistency always works in your favor,” Carroll said.

Geddie noted that no 11 a.m. show has ever been the top daytime talk program, and he seems eager for the challenge of changing that.

The time slot was no real prize back in 1996. ABC had a string of failures there before asking Wal-

ABC/Associated Press

Host Barbara Walters is pictured on the new set for the daytime talkshow ‘The View.’ The show started its 15th season this week. ters to come up with an idea for a show. She thought of presenting a handful of women with diverse backgrounds and opinions, primarily an entertainment show.

Still busy at ABC News, Walters appeared only two days a week and asked Meredith Vieira to be moderator, a role now held by Whoopi Goldberg.

Only 60 percent of ABC viewers could see the show at first, and Walters remembers spending much of her first year cajoling station managers across the country to carry it. Now The View is seen virtually everywhere on ABC. The View evolved to become more topical and opinionated as the years went on, a progression that is continuing. Today’s show will feature former New

“We’re an intelligent show, we are a stable show, we like each other.”

— Barbara Walters, host, ‘The View’

York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and focus on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Former Vice President Dick Cheney and GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman are each scheduled to appear in the first month.

Such guests co-exist with the popular “hot topics” opening segment, where Goldberg, Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd kick around the day’s water-cooler subjects.

Still, Walters cautioned,

“We are not Meet the Press.” Not when Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian were booked for Wednesday. Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore and Alicia Keys are among other first-month guests.

Behar and Shepherd will talk about what it was like for each of them to get married this summer, and the show plans to candidly follow Shepherd’s effort to have another child.

“We still do loving interviews,”

Walters said. “We’re not Bill O’Reilly.”

Fox News’ O’Reilly, who’s had some memorable tangles with the ladies of The View, is also booked for the first month.

“Authors, actors, celebrities and so forth need a place to go,” she said. “And we’re a very good place to go. We’re an intelligent show, we are a stable show, we like each other. ... It’s a fun show, and I think they will feel all the more comfortable with us.”

Sound like a pitch? Walters has made a few in her day. Much of the energy she brought to finding big interview “gets” for ABC News is now focused on The View, where she usually appears three or four days a week. Firmly establishing the topical niche is a pre-emptive strike against CNN’s Cooper, who premieres his show this fall, and Walters’ ABC colleague Katie Couric. Couric, who was a guest host on The View once this summer, begins her own daytime talk show next year.

Geddie also talks about more frequently using panels of expert contributors — doctors, lawyers and such — to answer questions.

That also sounds very Oprah-like, given the satellite system of contributors she developed through the years.

The competitive approach also extends to cosmetics. Instead of slapping a fresh coat of paint on an old set, The View completed a sleek redesign. Gone is the uncomfortable couch where Walters joked some guests nearly toppled over and off the set.

“We’ve always thought of ourself as the little engine that could, and now we’re practically the railroad,” Geddie said. “The landscape is changing, and it’s not just Oprah. The soap operas are going away. At ABC, we were always the third or fourth show behind the soaps and now we’re the No. 1 show. We felt that if we were a big show, we ought to look like it and act like it.”

Who is still alive from the ‘My Three Sons’ cast?

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: I was watching reruns of My Three Sons and wondering how many of the stars were still with us like Barry and Stanley Livingston (Ernie and Chip) and Don Grady (Robbie), Tina Cole (Katie) and Dawn Lyn (Dodie) and how old are they?

A: As far as I can tell, still with us at this writing are Don Grady, 67; Tina Cole, 68; Barry Livingston, 57; older brother Stanley, 60, and Dawn Lyn, 48. By the way, Tim Considine, the original oldest son on the series, is 70.

Fred MacMurray, patriarch of the Douglas clan, died in 1991; Beverly Garland, who was MacMurray’s wife in the show’s later seasons, died in 2008. The show’s two uncles, William Frawley and William Demarest, died in 1966 and 1983 respectively.

Q: What happened to John Roberts and Kiran Chetry on CNN’s American Morning?

A: The former American Morning hosts have

Roberts, who joined CNN from CBS in 2007, was taken off American Morning in December 2010. He appeared to be in line for another job at CNN where his fiancee, Kyra Phillips, also works. (They had twins in March.) Instead, he went to Fox News Channel and could be seen recently in its Hurricane Irene coverage.

Chetry, who also joined

CNN in 2007, continued on American Morning after Roberts’ departure but announced in July she was leaving the show and CNN for new opportunities. As of Monday, her Facebook page said, “Stay tuned for Kiran Chetry’s next move.”

Q: Will one of my favorite shows be returning to TV? It’s Jersey Couture, about the family that owns the formal-dress shop.

A: So far, the show has consisted only of a single season airing on Oxygen in summer 2010. But a network rep said Oxygen may yet bring it back. “We haven’t made any final decision on it,” he said.

Q: I enjoy seeing Riverdance. Can you give me the name of the blonde female dancer who was the lead in the original

production.

A: From what I can find, the original lead dancer (and a choreographer) in the production was Jean Butler; I have seen some photographs of her as a blonde, others with darker hair. She told Ballet-Dance magazine that “when Riverdance happened but it wasn’t simply just another dancing job. It was the start of something exciting and it was great to be part of that creative team to represent the new image of Irish dancing but it was also terrifically exciting and fun.”

Q: Where can I find a VHS or DVD of the movie Easter Parade?

A: Warner Home Video has released the Fred Astaire-Judy Garland movie on DVD several times, including in a twodisc special edition and a single-disc set. There are also old VHS copies floating around. A local store selling videos should be able to order the DVD for you, if it does not have it in stock. Barring that, I have seen it for sale from online vendors including Amazon. com, Moviesunlimited.com and Deepdiscount.com.
