MUSIC ICON BOB DYLAN TO PLAY AT MCLEOD BY AMIE STEFFEN | PULSE STAFF WRITER

24 OCTOBER

RE '\ODQ LV D WRXJK PDQ WR ZULWH DERXW Ä First, the folk musician/poet/’60s icon/one-time filmmaker/ would-be prophet no longer does interviews, according to his people. Ä Second, requesting publicity photos is akin to asking for an original copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls. And it’s rare these days that a news organization is allowed to photograph Dylan’s concerts. Ä But writing about the legendary Dylan, who will grace the Cedar Valley with a concert Oct. 24 at the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls, is the toughest task of all. After all, what can be said in the span of a few hundred words that could possibly encapsulate the myriad feelings fans of all ages have of the protest rocker who survived an era his musical peers didn’t and who has the remarkable talent to reinvent himself multiple times over four decades yet still stay true to himself? Maybe it’s all in the ticket sales. More than 2,500 of the 4,800 tickets available for Bob Dylan were sold after just a week, said Janelle Darst, Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center marketing director. “(Sales have) been really strong and consistent,” Darst said. “I think we’re on our way to selling out.” Diehard fans, of course, already have their seats procured. “I got my tickets right away,” said Rick Vanderwall of Cedar Falls, who has seen Dylan in concert twice. “The other two were both great shows, so I expect a lot from this one, too.” Vanderwall, a guitarist and member of the

Cedar Valley Acoustic Guitar Association, said it’s Dylan’s writing that most appeals to him. “I have my favorites I am hoping to hear, but I am open to new stuff, too. I am happy to hear whatever he wants to play,” Vanderwall wrote in an e-mail. Others don’t see what all the fuss is about. Scott Cawelti of Cedar Falls saw Dylan perform in 2004 in Stockholm, Sweden, and was unimpressed. “It was just not good; no introductions, no personability, the same tempo, the same dynamics,” he said. Cawelti said he appreciates what Dylan has done for the American music scene but noted other artists like Leonard Cohen take the time to relate to their audiences on stage, and that’s what was missing in 2004. Paul Conditt of Cedar Falls disagrees. He thinks the Cedar Falls concert will live up to his high expectations. Dylan, now 69, has been a musical legend for decades. His songs, such as “The Times They Are A-Changin’ “

and “Blowin’ in the Wind,” have been anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements, starting in the ‘60s. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed Dylan’s 1965 hit “Like A Rolling Stone” as No. 1 of the “500 Greatest Songs of all Time,” an eclectic collection of pop music spanning 50 years. “First of all, Bob is a living legend and, as a music lover, I never want to miss such a good opportunity to see a true giant,” Conditt said. “Dylan is one of the most influential songwriters for decades — and decades to come. “His concerts have an aura that is palpable. I expect to be awed, emotionally moved and inspired.” Tickets: $48 for the public and $30 for UNI students, plus fees.

Listening to the 47 original recordings on “The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964,” one can trace Bob Dylan’s dramatic growth as a songwriter from early traditionally styled songs like “Man On the Street” and “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Willie” through the social commentary of “Blowin’ in the Wind, “The Times They Are A Changin’” and “Masters of War,” and the groundbreaking lyrical genius of “Mr. Tambourine Man.” All of these songs, as well as the others on

Among the many gems found in this new release are 15 previously unreleased Dylan songs, including the plaintive “Ballad for a Friend” and the civil rights era-inspired “Long Ago, Far Away” and “The Death of Emmett Till.” The new volume also features a deluxe booklet with in-depth liner notes by noted music historian Colin Escott and rare photographs of Dylan captured during the same period as these early recordings. — www.sonymusicdigital.com

-R\IXO QRLVH Choir gives new life to African children BY SUE WILLETT | FOR PULSE MAGAZINE

n spite of the tragedy that has marred their young lives, the youngsters of the African Children’s Choir are radiant with hope, musically gifted and wonderfully entertaining. The world-renowned choir will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 27, at Trinity Bible Church in Cedar Falls. Traveling to share their music, their hope and their future, the African Children’s Choir is changing lives. “This choir is made up of some of the neediest and most vulnerable children in their countries,” said Mark Holton, Trinity Bible assistant pastor who organized the event. ”Many have lost one or both parents due to poverty or disease. Participating in the African Children’s Choir helps these children break free from the everyday cycle of hopelessness.” The choir aims to raise awareness of the needs of destitute and orphaned children in Africa and to raise funds for continued development and support of the

African Children’s Choir Programs. The group has performed at the White House and on “The Ellen Show,” “The David Letterman Show” and “Oprah.” Once choir members have completed a concert tour, they return to their homelands with the tools necessary for bettering their futures. “The children melt the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles, beautiful voices and lively African songs, dances and costumes,” said Deborah Scott, North American choir operations director. “The program features well-loved children’s songs, traditional spirituals and contemporary tunes.” Three choirs are traveling around the U.S., Canada and Europe. On average, 23 children make up each choir. The choir coming to Cedar Falls is the 40th African Children’s Choir that has formed over the past 20 years. Children selected to tour with the choir spend five months at the Choir Training Academy in Kampala, Uganda. Here the children’s personalities and talents emerge as they settle into their new routines with

He now travels with Choir 37 as an adult chaperone. Becoming a member of the choir changed his life. “I got confidence to speak to people,” he said. “My knowledge about the world greatly improved. Becoming a member of the choir opened up the world and I felt loved, like I had a bigger family.” Raising funds through concert tours allows the African Children’s Choirs to provide 8,000 children with education and school meals. The opportunity to sponsor a child will be available during the Cedar Falls event.

PULSE

•

OCT. 15-29, 2010

Anthony Bourdain’s newest book, “Medium Raw,” is a mixture of his usual ingredients — part rant, part food industry insight and part personal memoir. As usual, Bourdain, of Travel Channel’s “No Reservations” series, doesn’t hold back the snark for those he perceives as villains. He also praises a few heroes. What is most impressive about reading this book, published in June, is his prescient warning about sliding food industry standards and companies that push those standards to turn a profit at the expense of public health and food safety. In the wake of the salmonella-tainted eggs, it would have been entertaining to see Bourdain follow through on his punishment for food industry leaders who are “spinning the wheel where it is not unlikely” they serve tainted food. His suggested treatment is not fit for publication, and DeCoster Egg owner Austin “Jack” DeCoster should be thankful it would violate several U.S. and international laws. What led Bourdain to this condemnation also was an indictment of American eating habits that have created an unhealthy appetite for cheap meat. The means of keeping meat cheap and profitable include treating with ammonia scraps of meat that previously were tossed because of the likelihood of E. coli contamination. It’s old news for those who are familiar with the documented cruelties and filth of factory farms, but Bourdain’s warnings aren’t a political screed against “Big Food” and meat. They are suggestions that we don’t need to eat a pound of meat at every meal and a lament over the loss of his beloved cheap hamburger. The book has a mix of Bourdain’s personal experiences from before he found television fame, which contrasts nicely with experiences from his current life as married and a first-time father. He touches little on his ongoing television series but humbly admits he can no longer call himself a “chef,” having left the trenches to write and do other things after his first book won him fame. He has plenty of new material for the familiar fan, but first-time readers wouldn’t need to read his previous books to enjoy it, too.

bruno mars shows promise on debut album SAndy CoHen | AP ENTErTAINMENT WrITEr

Review The release of Bruno Mars’ debut album finds the singersongwriter-producer in the spotlight for both good and bad. He’s already scored hits co-writing and producing Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You” and “Billionaire” with Travie McCoy, and has a No. 1 song on his own with “Just The Way You Are.” Mars also faces a felony drug charge after he was allegedly found in possession of cocaine in a Las Vegas bathroom recently. The drug charge has temporarily overshadowed his musical success, but his album, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” should put the focus back on his sweet songs. The 24-year-old shows his range, promise, tastes and talents on the record. Working with his writingproducing team known collectively as The Smeezingtons, Mars (born Peter Hernandez in Hawaii) offers

He’s sexy with it like D’Angelo on the reggae-tinged “Our First Time,” sweet on “Just the Way You Are” and the equally poppy “Marry You,” and sassy on the groovy, guitar-heavy “Runaway Baby.” He’s also clever and silly, singing about “chillin’ in my Snuggie” on “The Lazy Song.” Damian Marley joins in on the drinking song “Liquor Store Blues,” and Mars brings his falsetto to a rocking reunion with B.o.B. and Cee Lo Green on “The Other Side.”

COMEDIAN MARGARET CHO MIXES LAUGHS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

TELEVISION

2010

argaret Cho, who broke ground with a short-lived show about an Asian-American family, has found her way back to the medium that wasn’t ready to embrace her 16 years ago. Appearing now on Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva” and recently booted from ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” the 41-year-old actress whose stand-up comedy about her Korean family led to 1994’s “All-American Girl” has returned to prime-time TV with the same tongue-in-cheek hilarity that has kept her in the spotlight for nearly 20 years. Cho also is back on the road with her “Cho Dependent Tour.” She is as serious as she is comical — famous for addressing the pressure she felt in 1994 to adjust her weight and her Asian-ness to be more palatable for network executives and audiences.

AS A LONGTIME ADVOCATE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE, HER COMEDY FORCEFULLY CONFRONTS HOMOPHOBIA, RACISM AND OTHER DISCRIMINATION WITH WITTY, BLUNT DERISION. She also talks frankly about sex with men and women, employing descriptive candor meant to make audiences squirm a bit. She promises more of the same, with new material about her family and living part time in a small town outside Atlanta where “Drop Dead Diva” is shot. On the show, she plays Teri Lee, the assistant to a young attorney who shares a body with the spirit of a dead model. But after hours, she plays Margaret, the bold advocate for gay marriage who is living in an area popular with Tea Party activists. “I guess I was put in this situation so I could write about it,” she said. Cho has found it hard to reconcile how townsfolk can be so welcoming and gracious while still displaying “real ugliness” about gay people. “There’s distrust of progressives and liberals in general,” she said. Weighty social matters have long been a part of her stand-up act. She plays on stereotypes about Asian people for laughs, but is really trying to raise consciousness about a kind of racism that she believes is less blatant than what other underrepresented minorities may face. “It’s more about non-inclusion,” she said. “Like we don’t somehow matter. I have a consciousness about race, that it is really more important to talk about it and confront invisibility. Stereotypes are preferable to invisibility.” Having a stage and a microphone to deploy her brand of defiant humor is still a dream come true for Cho. “I’m lucky and love what I do,” she said.

TIERNEY BACK ON TV AFTER CANCER FIGHT

THE WHOLE TRUTH

MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

aura Tierney likes her new pixie haircut. “It dries faster,” she said, tugging at a curl behind her ear. Mainly, though, she’s happy to have hair. After being diagnosed with breast cancer last year, Tierney, 45, had surgery and chemotherapy, dropping out of NBC’s “Parenthood” to do everything necessary to get well. But now, Tierney is back on television in ABC’s “The Whole Truth.” Lauren Graham replaced her in “Parenthood,” leaving Tierney free to take a role that was actually written for her. Tom Donaghy created the character of Kathryn Peale, the no-nonsense lead prosecutor who matches wits with friend and adversary Jimmy Brogan (Rob Morrow), with Tierney in mind. Donaghy and Tierney have known each other since college, but she was committed to “Parenthood,” so he cast Joely Richardson. Then real life intervened. While Tierney was finishing treatment and acting in a play in New York, Richardson asked to be released from “The Whole Truth.” “Joely’s life was fairly complicated,” executive producer Jonathan Littman told TV critics when ABC introduced “The Whole Truth” in August. Richardson’s mother is actress Vanessa Redgrave, and three members of that family — Joely’s sister, Natasha Richardson; her uncle, Corin Redgrave; and her aunt, Lynn Redgrave — had died within 14 months of one another. “It was the right thing to do, to let her go

and deal with that,” Littman said. “The timing worked out great, because then Maura was available and able to do it.” Tierney spent nine years as tough nurse Abby Cunningham on “ER,” leaving in 2008. “I wasn’t really thinking about doing another (TV) show,” she said. “But I really responded to the character that Tom wrote, I guess because (he) wrote it for me.” Donaghy created the role in response to “a lot of female characters on television that weren’t strong in the way that I understand how women can be strong and also feminine,” he said. “I knew Maura had the elegance, and we keep saying this word ’wit,’ so I wrote it with her talents in mind, never thinking she would be available. So it’s quite a gift that she is.” Added Tierney, “My ego’s not involved there at all. But I thought she was a really, really appealing character ... and funny. And it was interesting to find a character that had such sort of a great sense of humor, yet was so driven.”

6 & +22 / ( ' Guggenheim opens up on ‘Waiting for Superman’ MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

DAVIS GUGGENHEIM DIRECTED WHAT PROBABLY WAS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DOCUMENTARY OF THE PAST 20 YEARS — “AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH” — AND WON AN OSCAR FOR DOING IT. HIS NEW FILM, “WAITING FOR SUPERMAN,” COULD DO FOR THE AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM WHAT “TRUTH” DID FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Guggenheim has three children with actress Elisabeth Shue; all attend private school (something he’s open about in “Superman”). And they sure aren’t living off their father’s nonfiction film business. “I do a television pilot every year,” Guggenheim said, “and the pilot, which takes two months, covers 10 months of my expenses. The DAVID GUGGENHEIM documentaries, which take more than 10 months of the year, pay for two months.” His latest pilot is CBS’ “The Defenders” with Jim Belushi. He talked with John Anderson at the Toronto International Film Festival. Q. Everyone agrees that the school systems are a mess, but why did you want to open this can of worms? A. I remember, in 1968 I was a kid living in Washington, D.C., and I asked my mom, “Why am I taking a bus across the Potomac, 40 minutes into Virginia, to go to school?” And my mom said, “Because the schools in D.C. are broken.” Forty years later, I’m taking my kids to school in our minivan and driving past three public schools. Our schools are still broken. But when Participant Media and Diane Weyermann asked me to do this film, I initially said, “No, it’s too complex, it’s a quagmire, a storytelling quagmire.” And then I started seeing the schools I was passing in the corner of my eye, and thinking, “What about those kids?” Q. Since “Superman” premiered at Sundance in January, there have been several films and TV reports that cover some of the same areas as you — charter schools, alternative education, the teachers’ unions, even Harlem 26

neighborhood. So it fits: There’s this fantasy that schools are going to get better on their own.

A. No, it worried us when we were making “An Inconvenient Truth” that there were some other projects that had the same statistics that we had. But I think with this film, it’s a good sign. Education issues are in the zeitgeist. When you’re making a movie like this, you want to feel like you’re riding a wave and that maybe your movie will help the wave crest.

Q. Don’t a lot of people assume that bad neighborhoods mean bad parents mean bad students?

Q. It’s a great title. A. My producer and partner, Leslie Chilcott, came up with it, but it refers to something (Harlem Children’s Zone president) Geoffrey Canada says, that when he was a boy, the saddest day of his life was when his mom told him Superman wasn’t real, because it meant there was nobody powerful enough to come and save his

A. That question comes up at every screening — “What about the parents?” When I made my first doc (“The First Year”) I’d see these passionate teachers make such progress. And then the kid would go home and the TV was on, they didn’t do their homework, they didn’t have a good breakfast, and they’d get to school and be three steps back. And that was a real problem. What’s changed is that there is a new group of reformers who say, “That’s real, but it’s no longer an excuse.” They address the issue by having longer school days, more school days and making school the most important thing in their students’ lives.
