(No. 44) would rank higher.

Instead, television coverage of news events made the biggest difference in viewers’ lives.

The Super Bowl is annually the most-watched TV event, with this year’s game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots setting a record with 111 million viewers. The memories don’t seem to linger, however: the top-ranked Super Bowl Sunday event in Sony’s study came in 2004 and had nothing to do with football. It was Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction (No. 26).

Men and women agreed on the three most impactful television events — Sept. 11, Katrina and Simpson. After that, some of the interests diverged.

For example, women ranked the 1997 funeral of Princess Diana as the fourth most memorable event, while men put that at No. 23. Women ranked last year’s death of Whitney Houston at No. 5, with men judging it No. 21.

Similarly, the 2003 bombing

TV Continued from Page 2 of Baghdad at the start of the Iraq War was seen as the No. 14 most impactful moment by men, and No. 37 among women. Men were also far more struck by boxer Mike Tyson biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear.

The passage of time has also diluted some moments once thought as unforgettable, simply because succeeding generations have no personal memory of them. Man’s first moon landing in 1969 ranked No. 21.

Age also made a big difference in the survey.

JFK’s assassination was the second-most impactful TV event among people 55 and over, while for those between 18 and 34, it was the death of Osama bin Laden.

Young people also ranked Barack Obama’s Election Night speech in 2008 at No. 3, while that didn’t move older viewers quite as much (No. 24).

Simply because of their age, events like the JFK assassination, President Nixon’s resignation and the moon landing didn’t register at all among viewers 18 to 34. The oldest event to appear in their rankings was the 1980 shooting of John Lennon.

The study was based on an online questionnaire of 1,077 adults selected as a scientific sample from among Nielsen’s panel of people measured for television ratings. It was conducted Feb. 15-17 this year.

The study could be a good baseline for future looks at how television impacts viewers, said Paul Lindstrom, senior vice president for custom research at Nielsen.

“I’d like to see these done on a periodic basis going forward,” he said.

Hank Jr. storms back with new album “The great thing about Hank is ...

Hank’s still a 100 percent American original.”

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

— Fired up after laying down a new song in 45 minutes flat, Hank Williams Jr. emerges from the sound booth with a big, toothy grin wrapped around an unlit cigar.

“That’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time, cousin,” Williams says before letting go with a bellowing laugh that spreads infectiously around the room.

And it’s true.

Williams has been having a rip-roaring good time since ESPN dropped his popular “Monday Night Football” theme song nine months ago, igniting a debate over freedom of speech that brought all of Williams’ rowdy friends to his defense — plus an unlikely coterie of defenders from all over the political spectrum.

The dustup helped reinvigorate Williams creatively and the result is “Old School, New Rules,” his first new album in three years. The 12-song record features guest appearances from Merle Haggard and Brad Paisley and a healthy dose of Williams’ world view.

Buoyed by the support he’s received, Williams thinks he may have penned a classic or two.

“I remember when I had big hits of mine — you know before you get to the studio,” Williams said. “I mean you just know. Some guys told me when they go to the ballpark, they know they’re going to put one out of the park. Maybe they’ll feel good and they know who the pitcher is. And I have really fed off of the mood of the people.”

Williams found widespread support after his tiff with ESPN. It started when Williams was asked a political question while promoting one of his father’s projects on “Fox and Friends.” He used an anal-

— Eric Church, country singer

Wade Payne/Associated Press file

Singer Hank Williams Jr. performs during the CMT Disaster Relief Concert in Nashville, Tenn., May 12, 2011. Williams latest album, ‘Old School, New Rules,’ was released Tuesday and features guest appearances from Merle Haggard and Brad Paisley. ogy comparing cozy relations between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner with a hypothetical relationship between Adolf Hitler and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

He was swiftly criticized for the comments and ESPN ended up dropping Williams’ altered hit “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight” as its “MNF” theme song.

Williams claims victory in the showdown. Fans bought more than 250,000 T-shirts in support of his right to free speech, and Williams believes a drop in “MNF” ratings after the song was pulled has a little something to do with his supporters.

His reappearance in the national discussion also seemed to reinvigorate his place in the country music world. His father, the now deified Hank Williams, occupies

an important place in music history and often overshadows the accomplishments of his descendants. But Williams Jr. also occupies an extremely important role and in many ways his fingerprints are far more identifiable on the modern country sound.

Johnny Cash used to hand a young Williams his cigarette before walking out on stage and he remembers first meeting Dolly Parton when they were both 19 (“Holy bananas,” Williams still exclaims more than 40 years later). He would go on to help define country’s latter-day sound with hits like “Rowdy Friends,” “My Name is Bocephus,” “Old Habits” and “Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound,” and reaffirmed his place in popular culture every Monday night for the last 20 years when he shouted “Are you ready for some football ... !?!?”

Eric Church, whose rocking country sound owes much to Williams’ forays into Southern rock, described the singer as “a big ol’ oak tree out there who’s never going to sway.”

“The great thing about Hank is still, in a day and time when there’s a lot of homogenization and copycats and stuff out there, Hank’s still a 100 percent American original,” Church said. “Growing up, you couldn’t have a bonfire and you couldn’t drink beer where I came from unless there was Hank Jr. blastin’ out of the speakers on your truck ... That was my weekends.

That was what we did. And I owe my career to him in that regard.”

Paisley came to Williams’ defense during his rough patch with ESPN and helped bring him on stage during last year’s Country Music Association Awards, to great comedic effect. Williams gave him a necklace with his name on it that Paisley wore proudly while describing the 63-yearold singer’s importance.

“Hank was the man,” Paisley said. “He basically said, ‘I’m going to show you what you can do with country music because I have every right,’ you know what I mean? He had the keys. He was given the keys as a child. He inherited the right to take the music wherever he wanted, and boy did he.”

Williams puts his own stamp on the new album as well. Just the song titles alone give you a hint of his mood: “We Don’t Apologize for America,” “Keep the Change,” “Stock Market Blues” and “Taking Back the Country.”

He takes on his detractors in “Cow Turd Blues,” which turns President Harry S. Truman’s colorful metaphor into a vocal hook, and generally pulls no punches.

Just like you’d expect.

“People are kind of tired of some of the politically correct stuff,” Williams said. “They’re over it. Nobody’s got a job.

Nobody’s got any money.

They’re starvin’. I know people with pawn shops and they said it’s sad. It’s sad to watch carpenters come in and pawn their tools. It would be like us pawning our guitars. (These songs) are coming from the heavens.”

ZBB shows diversity on ‘Uncaged’

By Michael Mccall The Associated Press

Zac Brown Band, “Uncaged” (Southern Ground/Atlantic) The Zac Brown Band delivers a message with the title of its new album, “Uncaged” — and the songs back up that statement. Although still likely to be described as a country band, the Georgia group purposely, and admirably, avoids current Nashville conventions on their new collection.

Ten years in, the ZBB instead focus on the tight interplay the ensemble has developed through heavy touring, dwelling on instrumental chops as much as on vocals and hooks. They also cast a broad view toward material: There’s country music, for sure, in the harmony-driven “Goodbye In Her Eyes” and hoedown picking in the exhilarating “The Wind.” But, keeping to its theme, “Uncaged” takes on fierce southern rock on the title cut, gospel-tinged mountain soul on “Natural Disaster,” 1970s singersongwriter musings on “Lance’s Song,” and Caribbean-influences on “Jump Right In,” which has more in common

Altogether, “Uncaged” is a powerful artistic declaration rather than an album carefully plotted to achieve maximum radio exposure. It succeeds, too, suggesting Brown and his fellow instrumentalists and songwriters plan on gaining a reputation for musical diversity rather than

safely repeating an established formula.

DJ duet sizzles on ‘I Love You, Man’

By Ron Harris Associated Press

“I Love You, Man,” Rebecca & Fiona (Ultra) Swedish DJ duo Rebecca & Fiona is out and about with “I Love You, Man,” a light and airy dance album that feels gilded in gold. This album is more about filling the need for fun summer sounds and less about ground-breaking arrangements, because there are none.

Rebecca Svheja and Fiona Fitzpat-

rick are, at their inner artistic core, the Bananarama of electronic dance music.

Their presentation is breezy and not too aggressive on the ears.

In an age of crushing dubstep assaults on the senses, “I Love You, Man” is a welcome, if brief, respite.

“Jane Doe” gets things out of the gate nicely.

“Someone has taken your heart to far from home,” go the lyrics delivered in spoken-not-sung tones. The melody lends mystery to the words and things build to a crescendo in fine EDM fashion.

Another top track is “Bullets,” with its restless beat that refuses to subside.

There’s nothing in the song to pin it distinctly to this decade of dance music as opposed to the last. But perhaps therein lies the simplified success of Rebecca & Fiona.

If something can simultaneously be futuristic and retro, the duo has distilled that something here. “I Love You, Man” isn’t great. But it’s fine.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Turn It Down” is a bonus track from Kaskade, featuring Rebecca & Fiona. It revs up slowly, in between ghostly lyrics and some dirty deconstructed synth work. But when it gets up to speed, it hits the mark.

Plenty of chuckles drift into latest ‘Ice Age’

By Roger Moore McClatchy-Tribune News Service

There’s considerably less drift in “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” the latest in a long line of lucrative cartoons from Blue Sky Studios and their friends at Fox. It’s all sight gags and action beats, which tends to cover the shortcomings these assembly-line farces are infamous for. And at a brisk 94 minutes, it’s less reliant on charmstarved chatter among its increasingly over-stuffed voice cast.

Yes, there are even MORE big names doing the talking for the various Ice Age critters — pop stars Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez join up, with Peter Dinklage, Wanda Sykes, Joy Behar, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. But that old rule that “They only add more big names to the voice cast when they’re worried about the animation” doesn’t apply, as this is the least chatty film of this series.

The “Ice Age” movies are known for

(John Leguizamo, always funny) and Sid’s Granny (Sykes) are adrift on an iceberg, wondering how to get back to the others.

That’s when they meet the pirates. Of course there are pirates!

Captain Gutt is the primate who has figured out how to turn icebergs into buccaneer boats, and his scurvy crew of rabbits, sea lions and blood-thirsty gulls has designs on Manny & Co. Gutt, voiced by Peter Dinklage, leads his crew in a lusty pirate sea chantey.

“In a world that’s going under, you must learn to plunder,” Dinklage (“Game of their sloppy science, and this one has the Thrones”) croons. He’s helped by his own growing extended family of mammoths tiger sidekick, voiced by Ms. Lopez.

(Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and now The castaway Ice Agers plot to foil the “daughter” Keke Palmer) split up by the pirates, with the help of a gag borrowed splitting of continents. from “Open Season.” And back on dry, Yeah, Scrat, that nut-obsessed sabertoothed squirrel, had something to do with drifting land, we get a couple of life lessons in which the kid mammoth Peaches it.

Manny the mammoth (Romano), Diego (Palmer) learns that “cool kids” who want the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary), Sid, you to abandon your old friends aren’t the innocent but accident-prone sloth cool.

ice age: continental drift HH1/2 rating: PG for mild rude humor and action/ peril Running time: 1:34 Starring: Voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer, Denis Leary, Jennifer Lopez

And every so often, Scrat has another frustrating encounter with that elusive prehistoric acorn.

Sykes’ Granny may mutter “All this sweetness is gonna rot my teeth,” but it all goes by so quickly that even text-checking parents won’t mind.

The animation is better than ever (check out the photo-real water and ice here). The 3-D sight gags (jabs through the screen, and drool dropping off it) work. No, it’s not “Rio,” Blue Sky’s best effort to date.

But they’ve steadily raised the bar on the look of these films, if not the science lessons in the script.

(A brief, witty and dialogue-free “Simpsons” 3-D short film, “The Longest Daycare,” precedes this “Ice Age.” Maggie, the baby, is tormented while trying to save a butterfly from a baby bully at the internment camp where she’s deposited by her parents each day. Four minutes, five pretty big laughs. Nice.)

‘American Reunion’ fails the class

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

This week’s DVD releases include something for all ages.

“American Reunion,” Grade D: The “American Pie” gang gets back together for their high school reunion.

The concept is fine. It’s nice to catch up with Jim (Jason Biggs), Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), Stifler (Seann William Scott), Oz (Chris Klein) and the rest of the gang. There are some sweet moments with Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid) and some funny moments with the worldly Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas). But the few funny scenes get torpedoed by scenes of the guys hitting on teenage girls and fighting with teenage boys.

There is slight nostalgic fun to seeing the ups and downs of the lives of these friends since growing up and moving away. But screenwriters Adam Herz, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg keep trying to force these characters into the same mold from 13 years ago.

“Doctor Who: The Krotons,” Grade B: Those of you who may have become fans of the “Doctor Who” franchise in recent years can catch up with some of the original Doctors through DVD releases.

This adventure features Patrick Troughton, the second of the 11 actors to play the time-traveling adventurer. The Doctor, Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury) find themselves on the planet of the Gonds, a world ruled and enslaved by the Krotons. The good Doctor and his traveling companions decide to put a stop to their rule.

Art on a grand scale for AHS reunion One more time. The vivid memory of passing through the old Anniston High School arches, once more, comes into clear focus as the graduates see the huge painting at the reunions. It commands attention, making the youthful days seem like yesterday.

The 12-foot-by-16-foot canvas, to be the center of attention again this year at the school’s Grand Reunion (July 27 and 28) is the creation of Billie Hackney of Gadsden and Carlton Ward, head of the drama department at Jacksonville State University. To build it was Hackney’s dream, she said. Her husband, the late Frank Hackney, was in the Hervey AHS class of 1942. A Folsom retired elementary Artists in Action school teacher, Billie Hackney had been involved in decorations for the reunions for years. But in 1994, she was determined to create something on a grander scale; the reunion was moving from the old Downtowner Inn on Quintard Avenue to the City Auditorium on Gurnee Avenue, and a larger crowd would be coming.

The decision of exactly what to build came to her overnight during the summer of 1994. She immediately enlisted the help of Ward, who was designing sets then (and continues to do so), for the JSU productions. Her plan was ambitious: The painting was to stretch from floor to ceiling and from side to side on the auditorium stage.

To complete the realistic image, it would include the brick walls and shrubbery to the side of the doors, which were on the Leighton Avenue side of the high school.

Hackney, who earned a minor in art at JSU, was energized by the challenge of such a display.

“I’m in my element when I’m creative,” she said. “But my friends had their doubts about it really happening.”

But she had no doubts. In her mind, she could imagine the portable mural in place on stage with the floodlights on it.

The men and women would be gathering around it — and remembering their good times. She could imagine stories starting to flow, some of them true, and some of them embellished, as people gazed at the familiar sight.

“This was my dream for them,” she said. “I just wanted these graduates to feel that shining moment for their school. I

Or maybe they recall sitting and talking on the steps beneath the arches, or graduation pictures being snapped there.”

Although time was getting short for the reunion event, Ward agreed to help. The university’s summer dinner theater closed on a Sunday, he recalls, and he set to work on Monday. First, he provided the canvas, paint and glaze (for the bricks). Then he worked tirelessly, using a photo in the school yearbook to do the layout. A special technique he used is known as “trompe l’oeil”, a French term meaning “to fool the eye.” The technique is used to make the two-dimensional work seem to be threedimensional.

Ward sketched and Hackney painted for three days and three nights. They finished the piece the day before the 1994

reunion.

Then it was in the hands of an ablebodied crew that labored to install it on the stage. Finally, on the reunion night, the arch accomplished what Hackney wanted; it set an exhilarating tone for the event, and has continued to do so for every reunion since.

Faye Finney Pruett, class of 1957, admires the original arches, which now stand on Quintard Avenue in Veterans Park when she passes through town.

“Thankfully, they were saved during the demolition of the old school and now serve as a reminder of the happy and frenzied days in our past,” she wrote in the 2009 Alumni newsletter. “We didn’t give them a place of honor then. Such is youth.

But now they give us something to point to as part of our background for our children, our grandchildren, and even our greatgrandchildren.”

Heflin Dinner Theater “A Brush With Death,” a mystery comedy written by Mike Stedham will be presented at the Heflin Arts Center at 7 p.m. Aug. 3 and 4. Directed by Shane Smith, it is a project of the Heflin Arts Council. Tickets, $30 per person, must be purchased by the end of July and can be purchased at Heflin’s W.M. Grocery and the Recreation Center.

CAST’s Holiday Show “A Christmas Story” is CAST’s board of directors’ new choice for the theater’s holiday show. According to Kim Dobbs, artistic director, the theater has just been granted the rights to do the popular play after pursuing them for more than three years. The film is hugely popular, Dobbs said, and the show offers a lot of opportunities for children, especially boys. “A Christmas Story” will be offered in place of “A Christmas Carol” from Nov. 23 through Dec. 2.

‘Gold’ points out thrill of competition, agony of life “Gold” by Chris Cleave; Simon & Schuster, 2012; 327 pages; $27

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

TV producers who create those biographical segments on Olympic athletes could only wish that Chris Cleave wrote their scripts.

In “Gold,” Cleave fashions a life-anddeath story of two female cyclists, long entwined athletically and personally, competing for a single spot on Great Britain’s Olympic team.

Cleave’s earlier novels include the bestseller “Little Bee.” “Gold” feels like a marriage of “Wide World of Sports” with Lifetime television; that’s meant as a compliment. I’m no Olympic cyclist, but his exciting race scenes and coach talk feel spot-on to me.

As for the drama between frenemies Kate Argall and Zoe Castle, he has made the stakes as high as possible, and is scrupulously fair to both.

Kate, Zoe and Jack, Kate’s husband, have been linked since they arrived as teenagers for elite cycling training in Manchester. Now in their early 30s, they are training for their last chances at Olympic gold. Each, in some way, is also coming undone from stress. Kate and Jack’s daughter, Sophie, is seriously ill from leukemia and the related weakening effect of chemo; Kate and Jack’s life is now segmented into blocks of training and caregiving. As for Zoe, her athletic

success and gorgeous looks have made her a billboard star, but she’s dousing the pain of several secrets with one-night stands.

Tom Voss, who coaches both women and is the closest thing to a father figure Zoe has, breaks the news: An Olympic rule change, designed to put more finals and fewer prelims on prime-time TV, means only one of the two can go. Rather than make them agonize through three more months of training, he sets up a race-off.

Cleave gives those four, and Sophie herself, their due in viewpoint scenes past and present. Sophie, 8, takes refuge from her illness in all things “Star Wars,” endlessly replaying the movies and living the scenes in her mind. But she also knows her parents are frightened and exhausted by her illness. “This was the effect she had on people: They drove twenty percent slower, they gripped the handles of boiling saucepans twenty percent harder, they chose their words one fifth more carefully. No one was going to blow a tire and crash her, or spill a pan

and scald her, or say the word worry or die.”

In one heartbreaking scene, she vomits into a treasured keepsake in her room, rather than disturb her frazzled and preoccupied mother in the bathroom.

If medals were given for writing scenes of anguished decision-making, Cleave would have as many golds as Eric Heiden. After Kate has left for the race-off, Jack has to rush fevered Sophie to the hospital. If he calls Kate, she’ll surely leave and lose her chance at the Olympics. If he doesn’t call, Sophie may die without seeing her mother.

Even though Zoe is gorgeous and a past Olympic champion, I found it hard at times to believe that she would be such a tabloid target, especially for sexual indiscretions that broke no laws. But perhaps that’s my American point of view, seeing how little attention our media pays to female athletes. That may be easier to believe in Britain, and Cleave, a former Guardian columnist, surely knows the media landscape there.

Fairstein delivers the goods with ‘Night Watch’

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

Linda Fairstein, author of thrillers including “Silent Mercy” and “Hell Gate,” rips a headline from the front page and delivers another compelling story with her latest book, “Night Watch.”

Manhattan prosecutor Alexandra Cooper is in love with a French chef named

Luc, who becomes a suspect when a calling card from his restaurant is found on a body floating in a pond. While on vacation in France, Alexandra receives a phone call from her superiors telling her to come home immediately and tackle a case involving the head of the World Economic Bureau, who is accused of attacking a maid in a New York City hotel room.

She ends up torn between the high-profile case of sexual assault and her boyfriend’s legal woes. Luc arrives in New York and soon after, another dead body appears with one of his calling cards.

Fairstein, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney’s office, knows her stuff. Her insider knowledge brings a realistic feel to the proceedings. This time she

fictionalizes the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case.

Fans of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” will enjoy the behind-the-scenes perspective of “Night Watch.”

Fairstein’s novels typically include exotic histories of New York City, but this time, the character conflict drives the narrative, making for a more introspective reading experience.

Spider-Man is shown in a scene from ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ video game.

‘Spider-Man’ game loses to ‘Lego Batman’

By Lou Kesten Associated Press

It’s been five years since Spider-Man’s previous appearance in movie theaters, but Marvel’s webslinger has been plenty busy on video-game consoles. Since 2007, he’s headlined four games and made guest appearances in at least four more. None of them have been particularly outstanding.

Fans have been hoping that a new movie Spidey might reinvigorate the video-game franchise.

But while the Quebec-based developer Beenox has given “The Amazing Spider-Man” (Activision, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99) some new tricks, it still feels a little threadbare.

Moviegoers beware: The game takes place after the events of the latest film, and it blithely spoils

a couple of major plot points.

The upshot is that a few more human-animal hybrids (like the movie’s villain, the Lizard) have escaped from the labs of Oscorp Industries. Meanwhile, robotics whiz Alistaire Smythe has shifted Oscorp’s research focus, creating an army of mechanical behemoths to take down the mutants.

Spider-Man, being somewhat of a hybrid himself, is stuck in the middle.

Spider-Man’s duels against Smythe’s robots and familiar comic-book villains like the Rhino, the Iguana and the Scorpion provide the noisy, somewhat predictable spectacles you would expect in a superhero game.

But the main story also includes missions in which Spidey has to infiltrate various Oscorp facilities. You need to carefully plan your attacks here, taking out

Oscorp guards one-by-one so they don’t gang up on you. The gameplay is reminiscent of “Batman: Arkham Asylum,” but it’s frequently marred by awkward camera angles that make it difficult to spot your enemies before they spot you.

“The Amazing Spider-Man” becomes exciting only when you step outside its main story and take to the skies. Swinging between the skyscrapers of Manhattan is exhilarating, and the new “web rush” feature, which lets you pinpoint your next goal and zip right to it, is very handy when you’re trying to find the stray comic-book pages hidden all over town.

Spidey’s aerial acrobatics are so thrilling it’s a shame they aren’t better integrated into its story. There’s plenty to discover in “The Amazing Spider-Man,”

but it falls short of being the truly inspired adventure fans have been anticipating. Two stars out of four.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is due at the multiplex in just a few weeks, but the Christian Bale version of Batman won’t be getting a video-game doppelganger.

Instead, fans of the Caped Crusader can enjoy “Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes” (WB Games, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $49.99), a more lighthearted, family friendly romp.

The designers at the U.K.based Traveller’s Tales have hit upon a successful formula: Take Lego-ized versions of beloved characters like Harry Potter and the “Star Wars” gang. Set them loose in brightly colored versions of familiar settings where they can destroy the furniture and build new devices out of Lego

blocks. Throw in some clever but not too challenging puzzles and enough collectibles to keep the kids busy for weeks.

“Lego Batman 2” adds a few new elements, most notably some first-rate voice acting, that energizes the confrontations between Bruce Wayne and a rogue’s gallery of villains. (And other heroes, too: Batman’s surly attitude toward Superman is hilarious.) Also, the game world is more open than usual, so you can freely explore Gotham City in between story missions.

There are dozens of playable characters as well as an assortment of suits that give Batman and Robin special powers. And cooperative play is available throughout, making “Lego Batman 2” one of the best games available for parents and kids to play together. Three stars.

The Record Year begins new tour in Oxford

By Erin Williams Special to The Star

Keyton Fike and Mike Holman have been playing music together for several years now, but when it comes to their pop-punk group, The Record Year, they’re just getting started.

Fike hails from Anniston and grew up in and around music, starting out (as all great performers do) singing in his church choir. Holman, a Mobile native, was heavily influenced by his father, who played guitar “… since before I was born,” he remembers.

“I’d always play stuff like ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ on one string growing up, before I knew how to play.”

After graduating from Wellborn

in 2005, Fike began playing acoustic guitar in 2006 and touring in 2008 as “Keyton.” Once he began adding more performers to his band, however, including Holman in 2007, his musical direction began to change, and before he knew it, a new group and genre was formed.

“I didn’t set out to just make a group … the music kind of fell into place,” says Fike, who studies chemistry at Jacksonville State University.

“The music that we were writing was starting to become more energetic.

We just needed to go to the next level.”

From there, the group found itself playing less acoustic and more rock, assumed its new moniker in late 2010 and grew from one to four members,

which now includes bass player Matt Barnwell and drummer Caleb Stevens. The main songwriter and vocalist for the band, Fike’s association with pop punk dates back to his high school days, where bands such as Green Day and Blink-182 ruled the airwaves. Being a teen, the music’s themes of girls and breakups — “the general stuff that everyone goes through in high school” — really resonated with him.

The band tries not to take itself too seriously while it’s performing, and is using its platform to put the state on the map “for something else other than country [music],” Fike says. “Here in small-town Alabama, as soon as someone hears the term

‘punk,’ and the genre ‘pop punk,’ they just write it off as a bunch of hooligans screaming into the microphone … which isn’t the case at all.” He feels his music is carrying the torch for the “dying breed” of rock ‘n’ roll music.

“We’re just trying to put the word out there.”

The band released its first threesong EP, “Teaser — Hardly Know Her!,” in 2011. The plan is to drop a full-length album at the end of the year, and in the meantime, the band uploads new tracks online and shares them regularly with fans.

“As of right now, we just do it for fun,” adds Holman of indulging in their passion. “If we got some kind of attention from a label right now,

that’d be amazing, but at the same time, I’ll play music till the day I die, I’m sure.”

As they begin their 18-show tour Saturday — kicking off the Summer Concert Series at 6 p.m. at Quintard Mall — both Fike and Holman are preparing for the ups and downs of being on the road. The Record Year will also perform at The Smoking Moose July 15.

“You don’t really get to bathe as much as you’d like to,” says Holman of touring during the summer. But, he maintains, there are positive aspects.

“You get to see a lot of places you wouldn’t normally get to see. You get to take a little break from work, and

just hang out and play music.”

For Fike, the candle also burns at both ends. “It’s the most extreme set of feelings that you’ll ever have in your life. It’s the most tired you’ll ever be, it’s the most happy you’ll ever be, it’s the sweatiest you’ll ever be. You’re gonna start getting mad at the people you’re in close quarters with,” Fike says of the family-esque experience.

“But also at the same time, you wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. It’s really a feeling like no other.”

Erin Williams is a graduate of Faith Christian School and the University of Alabama. She is a performing arts aide for the Washington Post Style section.

When she was just 13 years old, Piedmont native Lindsey Hinkle wrote her first song for a class assignment.

At 15, she recorded her first demo in Nashville, which led to a tour bus driver for Fleetwood Mac hearing it. He, in turn, played the song for a manager that flew Hinkle to Ireland when she was 17 to record another demo.

“It was just about to be released when his daughter was brutally murdered, and, due to the circumstances, he just dropped the project completely,” said Hinkle, who headlines the Summer Concert Series at Quintard Mall July 21. “And I’ve just been playing shows, writing songs and doing live recordings since.”

The concert at Quintard Mall is special for the 27-year-old selftaught musician from Knightens Crossroads, a small community in Piedmont, because she gets to perform in her hometown for a crowd full of family, friends and fans who have been “a supportive community that’s been waiting for a while now to see something happen.”

Hinkle said she is working on a new album that is scheduled to be released no later than January 2013. And with a new manager, she is “excited to see people’s reactions to the new songs.”

“Honestly, I don’t try to blow lots of whistles,” she said.

“There’s not going to be fireworks or pyrotechnics at the shows. It’s just me and my guitar, and I hope for now that’s enough and people just enjoy the songs.”

Hinkle has had the oppor-

“I hope people will walk away from each concert knowing that Calhoun County has great talent...”

— Brooke McCulley, marketing director, Quintard Mall tunity to open for big musical acts such as country music duo Sugarland and Grammy awardwinning rock band Train. She credits her win at Eddie’s Attic Open Mic Shootout in Atlanta when she was 17 to the opportunity to open for those artists.

“One of the judges for that contest was actually Jennifer Nettles’ [of Sugarland] tour manager at the time and that got me the gig for opening for them,” Hinkle said. “I’m really fortunate to have opened for the very first show they ever did at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2003 when they released their first album.”

And now, the songwriter, who is influenced by pop radio and John Mayer, can add headliner to her burgeoning list of accomplishments.

Brooke McCulley, marketing director at Quintard Mall, chose Hinkle along with three other local bands to participate in this summer’s inaugural concert series that takes place this Saturday and on July 21 and 28.

“I did not realize what great talent Calhoun County had until I was searching for entertainment for this event,” McCulley said. “After speaking with some of the artists, they said they were so grateful and excited we were hosting the summer concert series to give families the opportunity to enjoy their music because they mostly play in bars or clubs where there is a minimum age to enter.”

McCulley, who is already thinking of creating a similar event in the fall for local artists to perform at Quintard Mall, added, “I wanted to host an event that the entire family — young and old — would enjoy.

Everyone loves to hear a great band, and I thought a summer concert series would be the perfect fit for Quintard Mall.”

Hinkle fits perfectly into a lineup that includes Altitudes, The Record Year and Counting the Cost. Known for her honest lyrics on her 2009 EP “Enough,” and performing backup harmonies with a guitar loop pedal that also kicks drum beats, Hinkle said audiences can expect mostly original material with a few cover songs.

“At shows like WorkPlay and Quintard, I like to play original material so if people listen to it and like it, then maybe they’ll buy the album,” she said. “I just want to play whatever makes people happy, but it’s going to take a while for people to know my material so I play stuff people can sing along to and change it up a bit to make it my own.”

“I hope people will walk away from each concert knowing that Calhoun County has great talent and they don’t have to travel for quality entertainment,” McCulley said. “The performers are working hard to make a name for themselves so I hope we can come together and support the local talent.”

‘Breaking Bad’ is back for its f ifth and f inal season

By Verne Gay Newsday

In the opening seconds of the “Breaking Bad” fifth-season opener (Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC), viewers will stare straight down into a plate of eggs. Sunny-side up. Two sallow disapproving eyes looking right up into the camera, and into the blighted soul of the blighted man who is about to eat them.

Walter White (Bryan Cranston) grabs a mound of crispy bacon, and places each piece in such a way on the plate so that the bacon spells out the numbers 5 and 2.

It is Walter’s joyless 52nd birthday, and as true-blue “Bad” fans will recall, this is almost a flashback to the opening seconds of the series four years ago, when his beloved wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn), placed a plate of eggs before him on his 50th birthday, with the bacon spelling out 50.

Much has changed over those 24 months in the life of the former highschool chemistry teacher. The fleeting pathos of next week’s opening scene is that Walter knows this, too: He has gone from loving family man to undisputed meth king of the Southwest, after dispatching rival Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) in a wildly violent explosion that blew off half of Fring’s face at the end of last season.

Yet the metamorphosis of Walter White is still very much ongoing. There are 16 episodes to go in the final season, leaving viewers to wonder how much worse can Walter get.

“There’s a new sheriff in town, is one way to put it,” said show creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan in a recent interview. “And in the absence of one drug king controlling the Southwest, and in the absence of one main meth dealer, Walt may want to fill that power vacuum. We’ve seen what it takes to win that.”

By critical if still not quite popular consent (about 3 million viewers on average have watched this series since its launch), “Breaking Bad” is one of the three or four finest U.S. television dramas of the past dozen years, standing shoulder to shoulder with “The Sopranos,” “Mad Men,” “The Wire” and — on their really good days — “Lost,” “The

Bryan Cranston portrays Walter White in a scene from ‘Breaking Bad.’ The show returns to TV for its fifth and final season Sunday at 9 p.m.

Shield,” “The Good Wife” and “The West Wing.”

Cranston’s evil Walter Mitty portrayal is one of the most celebrated in TV history: Three straight Emmy wins for best actor in a drama, a feat matched only

by Bill Cosby back in the mid-’60s for “I Spy.” What makes “Bad” so good (besides writing, acting, editing and cinematography, to cite four superlative production elements here)? One answer lies in that plate of eggs. Eggs are all about becoming — either becoming someone’s breakfast or becoming a chicken.

They are about transformation. Walter White and “Breaking Bad” are all about transformation, too.

Great series can hatch from modest starting points. What if the core character was a good family man who murdered people on the side (“The Sopranos”)? What if the cops were far worse than the criminals they were after (“The Shield”)? What if your wildest dreams came true and they made you miserable (“Mad Men”)?

Or, what if the series’ protagonist evolves into an antagonist, from very good guy to very bad guy?

Gilligan made his hero/anti-hero a chemistry teacher slogging through one whale of a midlife crisis — bereft, broke and facing a terminal illness (lung cancer, even though he had never smoked).

And even though Gilligan knew nothing about chemistry, that would be the guiding metaphor.

“Chemistry is growth, then decay, then transformation!!!” White enthusiastically told his students in the series’ opener. They sniggered, then turned away. Walter then decided the universe, and God, had sniggered and turned their backs on him, too.

There are comic as well as cosmic touches here, in a “the gods must be laughing” kind of way. But Gilligan always had a tragedy in mind, and a puzzle he didn’t have a solution to: Was Walter born bad or did he become bad through the choices he made? Gilligan and his stable of writers knew from there it was just a short hop to one of the enduring puzzles of the nature of evil.

Do people “break” bad — or are they born bad?

“I can’t ultimately tell you what the point of it all is,” says Gilligan. “But we do strive to keep him recognizable despite how dark he is. With each episode we chip a little more away at his soul. But we always try to make him human. Maybe it’s a cautionary tale, or a ‘there but for the Grace of God’ one, but he’s a character who has fascinated me from day one.”

Does even Walter White’s creator know how he will meet his end? Gilligan won’t — or can’t — say.
