8 The Haunting of

Henderson House

Did I give you a fright? No? I didn’t think so. So lately, I’ve been watching a lot of ABC’s Revenge on Netflix. Like, spending (wasting) a massive amount of time shamelessly watching main character Emily Thorne plot and carry out her next revenge-y scheme. It’s embarrassing. I’m not even a fan of thriller-murderdrama television. It scares me. Threatens to give me bad dreams. Yet I cannot stop. This is well-written television. It will suck you in and spit you back out and you’ll have nothing to show for your time but dry eyes from obsessively staring at the screen. I even considered cancelling my Netflix subscription in order to use my time more wisely. But I didn’t because I had to find out how it ultimately ends. I have no control. And you know what I fear? Loss of control, especially over the things I can control. It punches productivity and quality of life in the face. On the other side of that lies the fear of letting go. But relaxing and realizing that not every aspect of life can be contained and controlled solely by you is a key fact of life, amiright? It’s a see-saw of emotion to find that balance between appropriate amounts of discipline and crippling amounts of rigid control. Fear, is just that, an emotion. It’s just as much mental as physical. Most express fear in various ways. If it’s heights that frighten one, they might shake or sweat profusely at the top of a mountain. Arachnophobia and all it’s creepycrawly legs might elicit a momentary paralysis that lasts until someone else demolishes the little monster (or big, depending on location) Scary moments and thoughts might even provoke the concerned to come off as angry or shy Fears such as change, death, letting go, rejection, etc., etc., are much more abstract, but elicit the same reactions. But did you know? Fear itself could be contagious. According to an article by James

Randerson in The Guardian, scientists have discovered that the smell of fear is real. “People can unconsciously detect whether someone is stressed is or scared,” Randerson wrote, “by smelling a chemical pheromone released in their sweat, according to researchers who have investigated the underarm secretions of petrified skydivers.” Randerson continued on to write that many researchers will disagree that humans can detect pheromones. But there is a definite difference when it comes to the sweat produced by terror. “In one study in 2002, for example, 60 women were asked to distinguish between sweat pads worm by women who had watched the horror film Candyman or a documentary. They rated the sweat from the scary film watchers as stronger, less pleasant and smelling more ‘like aggression’”. 2014 research done by the University of Michigan Health System would agree. As stated in the news release, “Learning the smell of fear: Mothers teach babies their own fears via odor, U-M research finds” “Babies can learn what to fear in the first days of life just by smelling the odor of their distressed mothers… And not just ‘natural’ fears: If a mother experienced something before pregnancy that made her fear something specific, her baby will quickly learn to fear it too—through the odor she gives off when she feels fear.” So it would appear the banal phrase, the smell of fear, has some truth to it. Think about it. Plenty of humans have rational fears of flying, terrorism, and/ or war. If one passenger starts expressing fear over a flight going down, others are going to start thinking about that chance too, whether or not they were worried about it beforehand. The thought starts to float in their mind, just waiting for the chance to be entertained. And if that happens, fear happens. Even if just for a fleeting second. As Napoleon Hill once said “Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.” With that, I wish to all a happy fall. Face your fears.

Confessions of a

fantasy

MIND

Paul Charchian

football junkie

Hi.

My name is Rich, and I play fantasy football. Judge me if you must. Actually, that’s a misnomer. I don’t play fantasy football. I obsess over fantasy football. I agonize over fantasy football. When I lose at fantasy football I sulk, I scowl, I hide in the man cave. When I win I raise my arms and cackle in triumph and glee like a mad king who has just vanquished his enemy, relishing the blood at his feet. Fantasy football brings out the absolute worst in me. It wasn’t always this way, although even before I ever joined a league, I suspected that this was where I would end up. I resisted fantasy football for years. This is a common thing, by the way, most intelligent people who have never been involved with fantasy football usually say no when they are invited to join a league. You see and hear other people talking about fantasy, and it’s like they’re talking a completely different language. There’s no way they could be talking about the same game you watch. But that’s the thing - if you’re a football fan, fantasy will change the way you watch a game. You stop rooting for teams; you root for individual players instead. In fact regular readers of this column know that I am a baseball fan first. I refuse to play fantasy baseball because I do not want the way I enjoy that game to change. For example, there have been years when I had Adrian Peterson on my roster. I would watch a Vikings game and grumble that he wasn’t given the ball on every single down. There was another year when I had Randy Moss on my team. It was a Monday night game and the rest of my roster had not done well that weekend. In order to win that particular week, I needed Moss to go for something like 180 yards and three touchdowns. I had tickets for that game, and

was in the stands when Moss actually did catch the ball for exactly 180 yards and scored three touchdowns. The things is the Vikings lost that game and, try as I might, I didn’t care. Moss had won the game for my team. That was what mattered. I don’t feel good about that. I feel unclean. However, I’m too far down the road to go back now. I am unable to rehab myself. I’ve been involved in this stupid for fifteen years now. I look at a football stat line, and immediately translate it to a fantasy score, whether I have that player on my team or not. The NFL season hasn’t even started yet, and I can already tell you

which teams have a bye week on any given Sunday. Two nights ago, my league held our draft for the upcoming season. When it was over, I got into a passionate debate – you could even call it an argument – with one of my

not the people write your paycheck. That means average draft position). We debate the prospects of auctions vs. “snake” drafts. We have our own Matthew Berry culture of celebrities. If you know who Matthew Berry and Paul Charchian are, then you’re a fantasy person. If league mates over why he should trade me you don’t, don’t worry about it. You’re norNelson Agholor for Martavis Bryant. mal. Now, think about that for a second. I’ve Berry, who writes for ESPN, writes a colknown this guy for close to thirty years. He is umn every year during the NFL pre-season one of my closest friends, yet there we were, that he calls his “Draft Day Manifesto,” in screaming at each other over the mythical which he lays out all the rules and guiderights to two second tier wide receivers. lines – as he sees them – for the upcoming How many of you out there even know year. Frequently he will discuss what he calls who these two guys are? If you do know who they are, chances are the First Commandment of Fantasy, which is “Thou shalt not talk about your fantasy team.” It is the best piece of advice any fantasy football enthusiast can receive, and it is also the most ignored. To you normal, non-fantasy playing people out there, know this: we know exactly how stupid we sound when we get so passionate about our teams. We know it. But we can’t help ourselves. There is something that happens within a league. Even if you don’t know the other people you’re playing with very well, a bond forms between you, almost like a sibling thing. And in every walk of like, there is no other person that a human being will be more competitive with than your brother or sister. You don’t want to win your league, you want to rule it. And you will do anything you can to gain an upper hand. If there was a way to cheat in fantasy football and somehow affect the performance of a specific player, Congress would have to pass laws against it, because – I’m telling you – it would be rampant. I know how all this sounds. If you’re not into this, I sound like a moron. If you are, you’re a fantasy football person then you get it. That’s another thing about fantasy. It’s Anyway, thanks for listening. Now if like a secret society. There are certain code you’ll excuse me I need to go check my words we use to identify each other.

SARAH OSTERBAUER Sarah Osterbauer is a die-hard music lover. When she does her budget each month, food comes after concert tickets. Find her on twitter @SarahOwrites.

#NowPlaying Irene Diaz - Understated, beautiful confessions of love, usually backed solely by ukelele. What’s not to love about that? Her voice is sweet and strong, with soft elements of Natalie Merchant vibes.

Can you love the art, but not the artist?

Andra Day - Adele’s new joint may be dropping in November (rumor has it - pun intended), but til then sink your musical teeth into this girl. She’s 1 part Rihanna, 2 parts Winehouse, shaken not stirred. She’s overflowing with soul, she can take it to church and her cover of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” is not too shabby either.

eople take creative jobs because staff. It does not include, simply being odd or eccenthey’re passionate about their tric, because as we all know, most musical geniuses work. And while making art your are one or the other or both. It’s the crazy, the out of job is a privilege not many can the ordinary that often makes them great. Someafford, the cost of having the times, those characteristics combined with fame profession is exposing one’s self to criticism of your personal life. The criticism comes regardless of whether or not your personal life choices affect/ reflect the art. Take Chris Brown for example, being a jackass/violent aggressor doesn’t make his voice sound better or worse, or affect his overall singing and dancing technique. Hitting girls doesn’t affect his ability to hit high notes or change his breathing capacity. It does however change the way you hear his music. Or at least the way I hear his music, even though the music itself didn’t change. Because every time I hear “Forever” on the radio I change it. When I hear it and all I see are the photos of a bruised and beaten Rihanna. There’s a quote by a well known self-help book author and spiritual leader that says: “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” - Dr. Wayne Dyer The original intention of the quote being, if you change your perspective on things in your life, then you can change your destiny. It also works for our purposes to express the truth that is, once you see an artist differently, the way you see their Tom Crusie work follows suit. The argument can be made that medium makes a difference. Take an actor for instance. The very nature of their profession is to be someone that they are not. So when Tom Cruise decides to jump off couches and become a follower of Scientology, it’s possible for people who disagree with his actions to still enjoy Mission Impossible 100. Because in Mission Impossible, he isn’t Tom Cruise. He’s a guy doing cool stunts. But in music we want people to be authentic. We want the art to reflect who they are as a person. If you’re a gangsta rapper, or a country crooner or a punk rocker, we want your real life to reflect that music. Admittedly, sometimes bad behavior helps an artist build Zooey Daschanel street cred or legitimacy within genres but it’s when an and fortune can artist takes act as gateway things too far drugs into higher beyond the forays of bad confines of human behavior. drug/alcohol When Lostprophaddiction, ets Ian Watkins or just plain was convicted being a huge of sexual crimes dick that against children, fans start to and when Chris waiver.

just as easily turn people as well. Our own back page columnist, Kevin Krein has had a tumultuous fan relationship with the ever polarizing and grumpy Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon). Zooey Deschanel turned some Mpls concert goers

Kevin Garrett - Not to be confused with MN’s beloved Kevin GarNett, this guy could be the nerdy little brother of James Blake. He delivers thick, unadulterated slow jams (sans the internal organ shaking of Blake) in flawless fashion. His falsetto is so smooth it would make Maxwell jealous. He’s so good you can forgive him for reinventing the chord progression of “Won’t Back Down”/”Stay With Me” on his jam, “Coloring”.

Go See Four Letter Lie - Reunited and it feels SO good! At least for one night for Emiliana and Take Cover. 4LL (former band of SoMinn friend Kevin Skaff) have been in effect - however this will be their first First Ave Mainroom appearance and it should be an event to remember. Be there or be square Oct 2, also featuring By the Thousands and In Search of Solace. Doomtree - Everyone’s favorite hip hop collective promised that their last BLOWOUT would not be the last of their shenanigans and indeed is it not. On Oct 3 they will be headlining what they are calling Doomtree Zoo. Per usual they are rolling out a red carpet of TC hip-hop royalty to accompany them. No word on if it’ll turn into an annual thing but either way, any respectable member of the Bangarang gang would not miss it. Festival Palomino Canterbury Park hosts its final music festival of the season Sept 19. This is the second annual Festival Palomino and with over 10K fans that attended last year, this year is bound to be bigger and better. With big names on the bill like Father John Misty and Dr Dog, as well as lesser known (but very stellar) acts like Laura Marling and Shakey Graves, it should be a pretty awesome day for music.

This Happened Ian Watkins

when she whined all night at a First Ave mainroom show about the crimes being committed against her by using flash photography. Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes) has stated publically that he refuses to interact with fans and feels no remorse about it. As a fan, when you know someone is a jerk, it does make you question why you would support a person like that. Whether it’s something as serious as murder or as mundane as an in-person brush off, an artist’s off stage behavior can affect the way you hear their music. Maybe you stop going to shows, or you stop buying music, or you can’t even bear to hear them on the radio. Based on scope and severity, we adjust our listening to accommodate our feelings. No matter how much it seems like we should be able to disassociate the artist from the art, in music for the masses, it’s impossible to do.

Straight Outta Compton - The much anticipated N.W.A biopic dropped and was welcomed by the pockets of critic and fans alike to the tune of $100 mil (as of Aug 28). Prince - The Purple One has joined the Tidal wave, so to speak. He got together with Jay Z and co. and decided to release his new album HitNRun exclusively on Tidal. He also pulled his catalog off all other streaming services. 1989 - I love (/ hate) T. Swizz and I love LOVE Ryan Adams so imagine the sheer joy that resulted when Ryan announced that he would be recording a cover album of T’s 1989 (aka the most addicting album of 2015).

f you drive down Hwy 19 and cruise through Henderson, Minnesota, you’ll eventually come to a turnoff that leads up a winding hill to the Henderson House. This two-story brick mansion, built in 1875, exudes an aura of old-fashioned splendor, from its flawless front façade to its charming interior: four-poster canopy beds, oak floors, glossy stairwells. It’s no wonder that guests come from around the world visit the bed and breakfast run within these walls. But sometimes… guests get a little more than they anticipated. Sometimes… unexplainable things happen. Sometimes… guests aren’t alone. Henderson House was built in 1875 by business owner Charles Hartman. According to current property manager Jeff Hayden,

Hartman only lived in the house for two years before selling it to Charles Comnick. Two generations of Comnicks lived in the house before it was sold to another owner, then another, then another. Hayden got involved with the house in 2005. A Minnesota native, he worked in Indianapolis for several years before getting a call from his sister that would change his life. She said she had just been in Henderson and noticed a lovely old house that was for sale—and she asked if he’d be willing to manage it if she turned it into a bed and breakfast. “I flew up here and just fell in love with the town,” he said. “Henderson’s like a living, breathing Normal Rockwell portrait. The house could have been a doublewide trailer and I would have said okay.” While it was quite a career change for Hayden, he said he loves his job. Business has stayed steady over the past 10 years, with Hayden often hosting a full house for several weekends in a row. Summer and early fall are his “busy” seasons, though people come all throughout the year. “You meet a lot of interesting people,” he said, mentioning guests who visited from as far as Saudi Arabia, Tasmania and China. But even those guests aren’t as interesting as his three regulars—the three spirits who live in the house with him. “I feel like I’m renting this house from them,” he said with a laugh. Hayden first discovered the spirits when his son was sleeping in the bedroom attic and awoke to see the apparition of a tall

8 W W W. S O U T H E R N M I N N SCENE. C O M | O C T O B E R 2 0 1 5

uniform-clad man standing at the foot of his bed. Hayden said he has always guessed that the spirit is Walter Comnick, who was tall and played in the town band, which had uniforms. As for the other two spirits, Hayden isn’t so sure about them— though he has some ideas. He was once visited by an author researching paranormal activity in Minnesota, and she told him that he had three spirits in the house: a male and two females. She also said that one of the female spirits was taking care of the male spirit. Because of this, Hayden guesses that one of the spirits is Walter Comnick’s sister. The two Comnick siblings never married, instead living at the house together until Walter died from cancer. The female spirit could be Walter’s sister, still caring for him like she cared for him during her life. After that first meeting, it wasn’t too long before Hayden started noticing more evidence of his paranormal visitors—and he wasn’t the only one. One guest said she heard a baby crying, while another heard piano music—though the house has no piano. Several people have heard footsteps coming from unoccupied rooms. The interactions were never menacing, but they piqued Hayden’s curiosity, so he turned to a friend of his, Brent Spurling. Spurling’s hobby is paranormal activity, and he leads a crew of other spirit-world investigators. The team came to Henderson House with special tools like an ovilus (which supposedly allows spirits to speak words through it), a meter to register energy levels and a multi-spectrum camera. “[Brent] was trying to communicate with the other side, and he finally picked up a candy dish and asked, ‘Spirit in the house,

ADD YOUR EVENT FOR FREE TO THE TIMELINE CALENDAR. GO TO W W W. S O U T H E R N M I N N . C O M / S C E N E / C A L E N D A R & C L I C K + A D D A N E V E N T

Kitchen what am I holding?’” Hayden recalled. “And right away, the ovilus clearly said, ‘Candy.’ It kind of gives you goose bumps.” Then there are the pictures. Snapshots taken by the investigative team show orbs of light traveling around the room—light that wasn’t visible to human eyes in real life. These orbs also show up in pictures taken by other people, from Hayden to guests. But the most attention-grabbing picture has to be one that the investigative team snapped of Hayden himself sitting in his chair—and a faceless woman looking over his shoulder. While it’s enough to give someone the shivers, Hayden said he actually enjoys his ghostly roommates. “I try to respect them,” he said. “It is what it is. I’ve not had any issues.” No serious issues, anyway—though he has found his shoes in the dishwasher and his bathroom rearranged. But he laughs that off as harmless fun. Hayden said anyone hoping to get a glimpse of the other side is welcome to book a room at his establishment, but Ouija boards are strictly prohibited.

“I’ve watched too many bad movies about Ouija boards,” he explained. Henderson native Michelle Malecha is one of Hayden’s guests who got to “meet” the spirits when she was staying over one evening. Malecha had known Hayden for years and been at the house several times, but this was the first time she slept over in one of the upstairs bedrooms. She and her friend came over for a special “girls’ night,” and both of them discovered there was more to the Henderson House that met the eye. “That night, we were laying in bed when I heard very distinct footsteps directly ahead, above our bed,” Malecha recalled. “They sounded like wooden or leather soled shoes against a hard wood floor—that’s how distinct they were. We didn’t think much about it until breakfast, when we asked Jeff if he had been upstairs the night before. But he said he hadn’t. When we went to the attic to look around, we saw the floor was covered in thick carpet. Even when I jumped on it while my friend listened downstairs, she couldn’t hear any footsteps. That was when the shivers truly set in.”

Malecha would recommend Henderson House for anyone who wants to visit, even if they just want to stay at a lovely bed and breakfast. “The Henderson House is well worth a stay for its charm alone, if not for the thrill seeker’s hope for a bump in the night,” she said. If you do want to come check out one of the most charming haunted houses in the Midwest, you’d better act fast; Hayden said it has been up for sale since last year. He plans on moving out as soon as it sells to travel the country.

ome is where my mood for the day is almost predetermined by the mug I drink my coffee from in the morning. Inspirational quotes? Why yes, I will be fearless today. The mug with a crack? Obviously no one did the dishes the night before. Home is where there are 10 blankets in the living room at any given time because, really, you can never have enough blankets. Home is where I find a plastic shark in my coat pocket and diaper crème in my computer bag. Home is a concept that isn’t always just a place—it is a feeling. For Adam Young of Owl City, it is both. A brief recap: Six years ago Young’s synth-pop song “Fireflies,” exploded and reached No. 1 in 26 different countries. It was absolutely ridiculous, in the good sense of the word. And Adam is from Owatonna— most of us know this already. He has been introduced in countless interviews as the small-town star that records music in his underwear—one can only assume—in a basement. Some newscasters facetiously introduce his native land as “Minnesooota” because those people clearly aren’t aware of the musicians that come out of this state. If only it were socially acceptable to punch someone in the face. It may have been surprising for outsiders to discover where he is from but it wasn’t the least bit shocking for those who grew up around him. Back when the ‘M’ in MTV actually stood for Music, Owatonna had a music scene that stood for passion and unity. Music is just something you did if you didn’t do anything else. Jake Vanderwaal grew up playing shows around Owatonna in well remembered bands like Soul Awakening, legendary for performances at local venues and at the Steele County Battle of the Bands (itself a legendary institution that even Adam Young has performed in. “Looking at our friends who have made successful careers in music, we all had the same friends,” said Vanderwaal. “We were all close with the same bands. Everyone knew everyone. That whole music scene growing up was like a huge family. That’s why we loved it so much, I think. That’s why I loved it. We were one giant musical family. It didn’t matter who was playing that night. If there was a show, everyone was there.” Young wasn’t very outgoing nor was he popular in the school setting. He was shy and introverted according to his friend, Andy Johnson, also of Owatonna. Young and Johnson met when Johnson was in fifth grade and Young was in seventh. Their friendship went from skateboards and

Nintendo to producing some pretty terrible music, in the beginning. “We started playing music together when I was in sixth grade. We were really bad. I played drums, my older brother, Tony, played bass and Adam played guitar,” said Andy. “Adam got in to music right around seventh grade. He had been playing for a few months. I owned a drum set and my dad had this old bass, so along with my brother we started a band for fun called Lambs & Flowers. We recorded directly to cassette and those songs are buried deep in the archive. We later changed our band name to Left Lane [laughs]. We recorded a bunch of songs on a $5 PC microphone and sold CDs to kids at school.” In 2002, when Adam was in his sophomore year of high school, he and the Johnson brothers started the band Windsor Airlift that began as a pop-punk project. They booked their first show months in advance at Bethel Church in Owatonna. Both Andy and Adam are deep in to their faith and continue to use their musical talent to express that. Andy is the Children’s Ministry Lead Associate at Valley Church and one of Adam’s hit singles off his newest album “Mobile Orchestra” is titled “My Everything” and is a representation of his Christian faith. Their band began performing at more shows and churning out multiple albums and extended plays. The genre eventually moved from poppunk to math rock and finally ambient post-rock, the genre Tony and Andy still perform under today. The three began weaving in and out of small projects, some they performed together and others Adam did solo, many that only had a couple songs to go with the name. Like a project where Young synthesized his voice to sound like a grizzly bear which was unsurprisingly called, you guessed it, The Grizzly. One of those many projects was Owl City, something that began as an escape from Young’s struggle with insomnia. Despite his shy demeanor, going so far as to seclude himself to his parent’s basement, his talent did not go unnoticed. “I always knew he was good. During 2006 and 2007, he was pumping out an innumerable amount of music, most of which has never been heard by more than a handful of people. It was all instrumental music, a lot of trance and electronica. My brother and I were telling him to record an EP of some of the electronic ‘Postal Service’ style he was doing, but with vocals,” said Andy. “Some time went by and he emailed us a link to a new MySpace page with like four songs he recorded over the weekend. The first song I heard was ‘Hello Seattle.’ The project was Owl City. My brother and I knew immediately it was good, and there really wasn’t anything else being produced at the time that sounded quite like it. He uploaded the songs to CD Baby, made some homemade CDs and the rest is pretty much history.” His songs on MySpace and iTunes began to sell and after a few musical

But Adam continued to remember his roots, and the music family that grew up around him still recognizes him for his modesty and the fact that you can’t really put a label on the guy. “He was the kind of kid who would talk with you

just because you needed some friendly conversation, or maybe you happened to be sitting on the same bench as him,” said Wes Johnson, another local who was at the heart of music in the prime of Owatonna’s music scene. Wes first played in Minor Attributes and when things started to get heavy, was a founding member of Soul Awakening with Vanderwaal.

From 11 Owatonna may not be known for too much, but musicians from the area will always remember their “glory days,” as Wes called it and locals will remember the talent and hunger these kids had for delicious licks. But Adam stood out. “He’s a musical genius,” said Jake. “I wasn’t surprised at all by him making it where he has. His first show wasn’t even in Minnesota, it was in Chicago and he sold it out. That’s insane.” When I moved to Owatonna in high school, it became abundantly clear that I would struggle to make friends. Lines were set. Everyone seemed to have their friends they grew up with; friends they killed animals with; friends they drank an obscene amount of Mountain Dew with. But the night I found myself at the Morehouse Chalet, watching Wes gallivanting around in white skinny jeans and the eyeliner on his face beginning to smear from his hard-earned sweat, I knew I wanted to befriend these people, the musical family of Owatonna. The comradery and strength-of-will is what solidified that music scene. It’s really what a music scene is all about, accord-

ing to Wes. And even though everyone has gone their separate ways, that fellowship is still there. One does not simply walk out of the music scene. At least, that’s what Boromir would say. “There were just so many artists and musicians that it was easy to get inspired at a young age. All of us were so fortunate to grow up in a town where music has always been important and leaves a big print. Whether you are talking the SCFF band stand, or the public stage downtown, music flows through the veins of that city,” Johnson said. “So I think that for most of us, we just grew into it. Some kids grow up and aspire to be their big brother, the football player. Some of us grew up and decided ‘Yes, I want to start a band and play shows.’ Many of us did. And some of us made it big.” Adam Young continues to come back and record his music, even though there probably isn’t anything special about our basements. Some people may not think of O-town as inspirational, but Wes says it has a fire that he hopes never dies. I hope so too. Autumn Van Ravenhorst is a staff writer for SouthernMinn Scene.

The 2015 Caravan du Nord preview By SARAH OSTERBAUER editor@southernminnscene.com

he Caravan Du Nord, now in its fifth year, is a tradition of the Minnesota Music Coalition. It is a unique bragging right that we’re fortunate to have in the MN music scene. Each fall, they assemble a who’s who of local musicians, big names with up and comers, to visit the outskirts of the state. For the 2015 tour, they will be hitting Northfield, Austin, Faribault, Detroit Lakes and Red Wing. Each tour stop includes free music workshops during the day, meet and greets with the artists followed up with an all ages show. The MMC, which serves the music scene through appreciation and education, works hard to make the tour enriching for both artists and audiences. The music workshops serve a couple different purposes. They give musicians that are local to the tour stop a chance to network with other Twin Cities musicians, to learn about booking shows, how manage their own marketing, and how to make a living as a musician. The MMC reaches out to the community to see what the needs are for the musicians in that town and customizes the workshop to reflect their needs. It’s an awesome opportunity for artists to meet each other, learn from each other and possibly open doors for future collaborations. This also helps to enrich the trip for those traveling a significant distance. This way they are able to maximize their time spent in the community, meeting old and potential new fans, playing a show for a whole new audience, building a fan base that extends beyond the city lights. The MMC receives grants from the state arts board to fund the Caravan. Preparation for the CDN starts a year ahead of time. It involves brainstorming headliners, reaching out to venues, choosing the cities. Now that the tour is five years running, it’s much easier to find willing venues, and sometimes the venues come to them. Some Caravan veteran venues include the Paramount Theatre (Austin), Holmes Theatre (Detroit Lakes), Sheldon Theatre (Red Wing). Each year the MMC tries to incorporate at least one new stop into the tour to further expand their reach across the state. The brightest spot and the thing that’s so cool about the Caravan is that it brings bigger names to towns they might

It gives the bands an opportunity to expand their fan base, and gives folks a reason to venture into the big city in the future. It’s perpetuating the cycle of the MN music scene by growing fans for local artists, increasing interest, reach and influence. Minnesotans have a long standing reputation of being proud of their roots and what better way to showcase that part of our local culture than to support the people making local music. We’re fortunate in that we have the talent in the area to

make up such a vibrant and diverse scene. The Caravan does not discriminate based on genre. They include everything from folk, to bluegrass to jazz and hip hop. There is definitely something for everyone to enjoy. One new thing artists and tour stops can look forward to this year, are school programs catered to the youngest fans. Artists will visit schools to perform and do a Q&A with the kids. This will give school age kids a chance to see bands in a safe encouraging environment among their peers. Aspiring young musicians can get real life questions answered from local road warriors. They’ll get to experience the music for free, up close and personal. Being able to interact with the artists that closely will foster an understanding

of what life is like as a touring musician and give them a higher appreciation for the music. This also sets up local kids to become lifelong music fans. When I sat down with The Ericksons not too long ago, we talked about the uniqueness of the MN scene that lured them from the star power of NYC many years ago. We’re different not only because of the wealth of great talent but the status quo between artists and the surrounding community is to support each other. You could call it an effect of MN Nice, or attribute it to the incestuous nature of the bands (as many big names in the community play in multiple bands or belong to “collectives”) where the natural instinct is to support everyone’s projects. It’s

not unusual to go see Charlie Parr play and see Dave Simonett (of Trampled by Turtles) in the audience or to a Farewell Circuit show and The Ericksons chilling side stage as fans. The feedback from bands and venues alike is overwhelmingly positive. The small town venues get to bring in bigger names that they would not have otherwise been able to book and bands get to bring their music to all new audiences. This year’s Faribault headliners Farewell Milwaukee, who are Caravan newcomers, are really looking forward to the experience. They have ventured out of the cities before and love the welcoming nature of the rural Minnesota audiences. Lead singer Ben Lubeck had this to say about his past experience with audiences in the outskirts “They

Barbara Jean will perform on the Minnesota Music Coalition’s Caravan du Nord this fall.

From 15 seem to really enjoy having Twin Cities bands in their town and are incredibly warm and welcoming. They often listen intently to the music and are excited to chat after the show. We’ve made great friends in towns like Wabasha, Winona, and Northfield. We’re looking forward to Faribault and hoping it will be a similar experience.” The audience at the Faribault show is in for a special treat as Farewell has been in the studio working on new tunes and Ben has alluded to trying a couple out at the show. Previous Caravans have included the talents of Jeremy Messersmith, Sims, Mayda, Southwire, Charlie Parr, Rogue Valley, Fort Wilson Riot, Mason Jennings, Caroline Smith (who is also on this year’s tour), Honeydogs, The Pines, 4onthefloor, The Cactus Blossoms and many others. With tour alumni like that, it’s an easy sell to convince new bands to jump on board. The quality of performers does not falter in 2015. This years lineup includes: Solid Gold, Caroline Smith, Black Diet, Farewell Milwaukee, Barbara Jean, Har Mar Superstar, Keri Noble and Molly Dean (of Moon & Pollution) among others. The Caravan is sponsored in part by 89.3 The Current and their DJs come along on the tour to MC the shows,

as well as offering their industry expertise. The shows are all ages, which affords everyone the opportunity to make it a family affair. This speaks to the main point of it all which is community. It’s fostering the Minnesota music community, at the same time strengthening the communities that they play in. Beyond the talent, the MMC tries to find out-of-the-box venues for the artists to play in, old theaters and schools versus solely relying on bars and restaurants or more traditional concert venues. This season the venues include: the Carleton College Concert Hall in Northfield, TB Sheldon Theater in Red Wing, Newhall Auditorium in Faribault, Paramount Theatre in Austin and the Historic Holmes Theater in Detroit Lakes. For the Caravan it makes sense to pair up with local colleges as education plays a large role in the service that the MMC provides. Also, it helps them to get the word out about the show to local college students. For the artists, playing an unconventional venue can change the feel of the show, making for a rare performance experience. Within the local music community, the importance of programs like the Caravan Du Nord cannot be overstated. We are fortunate to call this place our home. This place where our cup runneth over with musical talent, where artists see the value in supporting each

other and putting in face time with small communities outside of the Twin Cities. We’re lucky to have organizations like the Minnesota Music Coalition out there laying the groundwork to grow new music fans and to keep the ones we have constantly hungry for something new. As the old Arthur O’Shaughnessy poem goes, “we are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams” and in that spirit we need to be out here supporting the makers and the dreamers. No one understands that better than the MMC. The Caravan has five tour stops, four of which are in the SoMinn area. Every stop features a first rate headliner and and A list supporting acts. Do yourself a favor and bring the family out to support some stellar local music. This is especially important to other local musicians. This is your chance to network and be inspired by like-minded people. Music is the thing that can be a constant between generations, between racial and socioeconomic divides. It can be the thing that brings a community closer together. If you’re not sure what this all means, check out a Caravan show to find out. You will not regret it.

Big doings in the

MSU Theater Department

W By AMANDA DYSLIN editor@southernminnscene.com

hen the curtain goes up for “Titanic,” the audience won’t be able to miss the ship – a massive, hand-painted background that replicates a side view of the mighty and infamous British passenger liner. And the magnificent scope of the set is far from the only substantial component to “Titanic,” the 2015-16 Mainstage Season opener, which also boasts a large cast, period-accurate costuming, and moving musical numbers. In fact, “massive” is a word bandied about quite a bit regarding the Department of Theatre and Dance at Minnesota State University, Mankato, with this season serving as a prime example. “This is our third year in a row with three Mainstage musicals,” said Paul J. Hustoles, department chair. “Nationally, that’s unique. I know of no other college that does three Mainstage musicals a year.” No other college does “Titanic” either, Hustoles said. Everyone is plenty familiar with the film of the same name starring Leonardo DiCaprio, but few have heard of the stage version. “That’s because it’s almost impossible to do,” Hustoles said. “Nobody does it, except for MSU. We’re famous for doing shows nobody does because we can. It’s hard to do shows like ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘Titanic’ because technically they’re so much more difficult, and it’s expensive to do them. But because our audience is so supportive of us, we can meet those expectations.” “Titanic” is not just a musical about a sinking ship. It’s a complex and intriguing story about people who happen to be on a sinking ship, Hustoles said. “A lot of people have been very excited about the title, but they really don’t know how exciting the show truly is,” he said. Besides “Titanic” being a premiere at MSU, the department’s audience will have plenty of other new theater experiences this season as well. Five out of six Mainstage shows are new to the department, including “Mary Poppins,” as rights were just released to colleges and universities. (“The Miracle Worker” is the only show that the department has done before.) All four Studio Season shows also are premieres at MSU.

“One of the things I get excited about is doing shows we’ve never done at MSU and exposing our audiences to new things and exposing our students to things we’ve never done. That’s thrilling to me,” said Hustoles, who has directed more than 200 shows and celebrated his 30th anniversary at MSU this summer. “I’m at a point now where I need to do new things.” The other thing Hustoles loves is being eclectic – filling a season with theater as serious as Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy “Antigone” and as fun and nostalgic as “A Christmas Story: The Musical.” “We have always strived to cover a wide range, for both the education of our students and for the entertainment of our audience,” Hustoles said. Individual tickets to any 2015-16 season show went on sale Sept. 14. Season tickets are also on sale by mail order only until Oct. 11 for $100, which includes all six Mainstage shows. (Due to cost-prohibiting service charges, season tickets can’t be purchased online.)

Here is a bit more about the upcoming shows this season. ‘Titanic’ (Mainstage musical)

‘The Miracle Worker’ (Mainstage) TIMES: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15-17 & 21-24; 2 p.m. Oct. 18, 24 & 25, 2015 TICKETS: $16 regular, $14 for senior citizens, youth 16 and under and groups of 15 or more, $11 for current Minnesota State students. “The Miracle Worker” dramatizes the volatile relationship between lonely teacher Annie Sullivan and her charge, Helen Keller. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence.

TIMES: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1-3 & 8-10; 2 p.m. Oct. 10 & 11, 2015

‘A Christmas Story: The Musical’

TICKETS: $22 regular, $19 for senior citizens, youth 16 and under and groups of 15 or more, $15 for current Minnesota State students.

TIMES: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5-7 & 12-14; 2 p.m. Nov. 7, 8, 14 & 15, 2015

Sponsored by Consolidated Communications Community Fund through the Mankato Area Foundation, “Titanic” is the story of an “unsinkable” ship lost during its maiden voyage. The sinking of the Titanic in the early hours of April 15, 1912, remains the quintessential disaster of the 20th century. “Titanic” examines the causes, the conditions and the characters involved in this ever-fascinating drama.

A college student, Carol, drops by her professor’s office in an effort to gain his help to do better in class.

AMY’S TV CRUSH

AMY MERRITT Amy Merritt could be teaching pop culture and television criticism at any school in the country. Instead she writes this column for you. So she can watch the damn Muppets if she wants to.

Say ‘Yes’ to the New Shows

(At Least Some of them. Stay away from some, too.)

hich new fall television shows are worth watchingFall is the best time of year. I’m not talking about leaves and apple picking and candy corn. Those things are obviously just signs of impending doom. I’m talking about Fall TV premiers! And this year there are a gazillion, so I thought I’d help you out. Here are the brand new shows I’m most excited about, and a few I’m definitely going to skip.

has a unique and intriguing premise. If the writing is good, this promises to be an excellent nighttime soap the likes of which I haven’t seen in a long time.

young (perhaps emotionally disturbed?) ballerina entering the cutthroat professional world. Frankly, that wasn’t what intrigued me. WATCH IT BECAUSE: By all accounts it is described as a dark drama, though more real than the ephemeral Black Swan. I will watch because Moira Walley-Beckett is the executive producer. Her credits include not only producing Breaking Bad, but writing the best episode of television, maybe ever (Breaking Bad’s Emmy winning Ozymandias). I will also watch because STARZ is making all 8 episodes available at once. A dark and disturbing weekend of binge-watching seems just right for November.

Ash Vs. Evil Dead on Halloween, STARZ

Say “Yes” to:

WHAT IS IT: It’s 30 years after Army of Darkness and Ash faces a new threat.

The Muppets on Tuesday Sept 22, ABC

WATCH IT BECAUSE: Bruce Campbell and his Boomstick. That’s enough for me. (Sam Raimi directs, so hopefully this one is for the fans).

WHAT IS IT: It’s a contemporary mockumentarystyle sitcom where we find the Muppets producing a late-night talk show with Miss Piggy as the host. CHECK IT OUT BECAUSE: This will not ruin your childhood. In fact, the show promises to be true to Jim Henson’s original vision for the characters, decidedly adult and living in the real world. The show-within-a-show format means tons of celebrity cameos, backstage drama, and hilarious cut away interviews. I think this one will push all of the nostalgia buttons, but it hasn’t left the gang in the past. Will Gonzo have success online dating? Has Kermit found a new pig after he and Miss Piggy called it splitsville? Don’t worry, the show is family friendly, so it won’t ruin your kids’ childhood either.

Scream Queens on Sept 22, FOX WHAT IS IT: It is the show found on every single “must-watch” list for Fall. Think American Horror Story, but more (intentionally) comedic. A serial killer is terrorizing a sorority house. Ha Ha? Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on Oct 12, CW WHAT IS IT: A successful Manhattan lawyer gives up everything to pursue her ex-boyfriend in California. WATCH IT BECAUSE: I personally don’t find the idea of a “crazy” ex-girlfriend inherently funny. However, a crazy ex-girlfriend “with musical interludes” is a whole other thing. I’m hoping it’s witty and edgy (think the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), with the fun of Glee minus the after-school-special themes.

WATCH IT BECAUSE: You like American Horror Story, but you feel like it’s too serious and M. Night Shayamalan-y. You liked the Scream movie franchise because it was genuinely scary but also self-aware. You like to see a ton of celebrities who aren’t afraid to die.

Say “Maybe” to:

Blood and Oil on Sunday Sept 27, ABC WHAT IS IT: The backdrop for the show is the very real oil boom in North Dakota that began in 2006. The main storyline centers around a young entrepreneurial couple hoping to make it big, pitted against a ruthless oil tycoon. WATCH IT BECAUSE: Don Johnson looks awesome and villainous, but also because this series

show great. A group of FBI rookies discovers that one of their own has carried out the largest terror attack on US soil since 9/11. It is intriguing mostly because the flashforward/flashback format makes for great clue-seeking. Everyone is a suspect!

BECAUSE: Both of these sitcoms look a little predictable, but…a Rob Lowe/Fred Savage match-up might be fun I never knew I wanted, and John Stamos is real pretty.

thursday, october 1st • 9pm-10:30Pm

Jivin’ Ivan

Into the Badlands on Nov 15, AMC Life in Pieces on Sept 21, CBS BECAUSE: I’m totally suspicious of sitcoms, especially on the major networks. However, the cast includes Dianne Wiest, James Brolin, Betsy Brandt and Colin Hanks. This family comedy looks quirky and fun. I think.

OPEN ON SUNDAYS FOR THE GAME!

thursday, october 17th 7:30-11:30pm

BECAUSE: This is kind of an odd choice, even for me. But I’ve come to trust AMC and this is probably the most original show making its debut this Fall. This is a martial arts drama about a warrior and a young sidekick seeking enlightenment and finding danger. Definitely seems like yet another risk for AMC that just might pay off.

DRINK & FOOD SPECIALS DURING GAMES.

Acoustic Andy Tackett Guitar Friday, october 9th • 9pm-12am

I’m saying “No” to:

saturday, october 31st • 9:30pm-12:30pm

Angel from Hell (I like you Jane Lynch, but this is almost too Jane Lynch-y). Chicago Med (from the folks who brought us such original dramas as Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.). Code Black (It’s ER, only these emergencies are apparently really BIG emergencies). Limitless and Minority Report (because a bad movie and an OK movie don’t make awesome television).

odies

Supergirl (I’m sorry, I’m just done).

The Grinder and Grandfathered (both on Sept 29, FOX)

Keep in mind, Fall TV is kind of like Christmas. Sometimes, the anticipation is way better than the real deal. This year I’m extremely hopeful, but I know one of those pretty packages might just be a six pack of tube socks or an executive desk set. Please don’t email me to let me know I let you down. Those tube socks let me down too.

Written by Woody Allen and premiered on Broadway on November 17, 1966, playing 598 performances at three different Broadway theaters, Dont Drink the Water is a cascade of comedy. This affair takes place inside an American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist, a caterer by trade, and his wife and daughter rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of

spying and picture taking. It’s not much of a refuge, for the ambassador is absent and his son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen countries and the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they carefully and frantically plot their escape, and the ambassador’s son and the caterer’s daughter even have time to fall in love.

Those travels are paired with many of Guthries most beloved songs. The production is directed by Tod Petersen who joined the Commonweal ensemble last season and served as director for the highly popular Arsenic and Old Lace. Woody Guthrie’s American Song, says Petersen, is such an exciting project for the Commonweal to undertake. The cast of fiveall of them singing, playing instruments, story-telling, even dancing a little have thrown themselves into the music and life of Woody Guthrie with the positive, life-affirming energy that Guthrie represents.

Farmamerica’s Haunted Corn Maze and Mill

Friday, Oct. 16 & 23 / Saturday, Oct. 17 & 24 6:30-9:30 p.m. Farmamerica, Waseca

I will not be going to this. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t. I just watched “Children of the Corn” when I was way too young to watch it and of course I haven’t re-watched it to prove that it isn’t as scary as I remember it being. Therefor, it is still scary as hell to me. Along with all the other movies that tell the story of someone being stranded, lost and chased by a deranged psychopath with a knife. Or a chainsaw. Or whatever else that could lacerate any one of your extremities. That is what makes this Halloween-y event different from say, Trail of Terror. It is not a trail where you will inevitably reach the end within a given time frame. There isn’t a cute couple in front of you, holding hands, giggling after each shriek. Those shrieks which prepare you, the next person in line, for what is coming up around the corner. You are in a maze so you gotta fend for yourself. You are in the dark. You don’t know where the hell you are going. You could look at the map, but again, you’re in the dark. So, good luck with that. Bring your flashlight. Minnesota has a lot of corn and a lot of mazes but CBS Minnesota dubbed this event as one of the best fall occasions in the state. Hot drinks and refreshments are provided. And consider leaving your kids at home—there are other ways to keep your children away from power tools. – – Autumn Van Ravenhorst, editor@southernminnscene.com

Outside Mullingar

Every Thursday & Saturday at 7:30 p.m. / Sundays at 1:30 p.m. Commonweal Theatre, Lanesboro

I am Scottish but that does not mean I do not appreciate what Ireland has to offer, which is a lot, specifically picturesque landscapes. I am proud of my heritage so I want to say the fact that I want to move to a far away land, have a farm with way too many animals and drink beer is presumably because of that heritage. Ha, who am I kidding? That is everyone’s dream. Wait, what was that? There are actually people who don’t want that? Pfft. I am going to skip the formalities of describing the Commonweal Theatre because I have done that in the past and if you do not know anything about it yet that is because you either haven’t been there or you haven’t been looking at our calendar, both of which you should feel ashamed. Nearing the end of their 2015 season, the Commonweal will present “Outside Mullingar,” a Tony Award nominated play by John Patrick Shanley. It tells the story of two single, middle-aged loners, Anthony and Rosemary, in rural Ireland. They have been neighbors for life, but only come acquainted when Rosemary gets caught up in Anthony’s family foibles. “Outside Mullingar” is a revel of rural life, unconquerable spirit of the Irish with a dash of love. I pretty much stay away from romantic comedies but this play might just break that trend. Commonwealtheatre.org artists, bird watchers, and early risers the chance to experience the History Center of Olmsted County in a different light, when we are not open to the public.

A Streetcar Named Desire

Oct. 2-4, 9-11 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Northfield Arts Guild

It’s like Kevin Costner was at the table of friends who had the idea of an arts center in Northfield. A group of mixed artists were like, “Hey, wouldn’t it be super neat if we all had a place to hang and display our awesomeness?” and then Costner closed the session by uttering, “If you build it, they will come.” Then with a church and a clothesline, the Guild was formed. Yeah yeah, I left out some details but I have word restraints, okay. The Northfield Arts Guild presents hundreds of students with classes and thousands of people pass through their doors annually. This year, they are presenting one of the most famed plays in history, right up there with “Death of a Salesman.” Tony Award winning “A Streetcar Named Desire” is a 1948 drama by Tennessee Williams. It is a story I see as tragic, but the complexity of this production might argue that statement. The original production starred Marlon Brando, who played the not-so-nice personality. In the writing, Brando’s role was actually a vicious older man, but by casting a younger actor it makes it difficult to see the cruelty in his actions. Since its debut, the play has been revived, won numerous awards and starred big names like Alec Baldwin, Amy Ryan and Frances McDormand. It will be interesting to see what this cast does with a play that revolutionized American acting. – – Autumn Van Ravenhorst, editor@southernminnscene.com

Smaczne Jablka

Noon-4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 4 Polish Museum, Winona

I sometimes spew seemingly useless trivia—key word there is “seemingly” because every bit of information ultimately serves some purpose. Today’s fun and completely relevant fact is Winona has the largest population of Kashubians making it the Kashubian Capital of America. Hard workers, Kashubians come from north-central Poland. To maintain the Kashubian Polish traditions of the area through events and other initiatives is the Polish Cultural Institute in Winona, created in 1977. The organization opens its doors to the public for their famous Smaczne Jablka, which means “Tasty Apple” in Polish. For Apple Day, they display arts and crafts and have activities ranging from pumpkin decorating and sidewalk art to apple squeezing and a silent auction. There will be a farmers market, Polish music and cuisine as well as educational tours through their museum. Given the season, Brzadowo zupa and Czernina could both be served. One is made with apples, the other with goose blood. You’re gonna want to research that. – – Autumn Van Ravenhorst, editor@southernminnscene.com

WEEK OF September 27October 3: Northfield Humanist Roundtable: 27-Sep, 10:30 AM, Just Foods, 156 S. Water St., Northfield, Free. The Northfield Humanist Roundtable is a new discussion group which addresses the history, philosophy, and practical application of secular humanism. The discussion format uses a brief introduction followed by questions which each participant may respond to in turn. For our first meeting, we will attempt to clarify the meaning of humanism. Most secular humanists agree that the physical universe is the whole of existence; we will try to go beyond this general agreement to define more specifically what humanism entails. We’ll consider such questions as: Is reason the only means by which we understand the world? Do we embrace diversity of thought, or are some ideas unacceptable to us? When is it legitimate to infer the existence of something? Please come join the discussion. There is no charge, and everyone is welcome.

Buxtehudes Praeludium in F Major represents a new change in the North German Style. Tunders chorale prelude should be in G minor according to the hymn tune, but his setting is anything else but minor. Bachs chorale partita represents his learning and expanding the North German Style with his teacher.

49th Annual Festival of the Arts

Saturday, Oct. 10 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. / Sunday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Red Wing

Reviewing all of these communities takes away sleep, sustenance (completely serious, I forget to eat) and every month I tell my family we are moving. Red Wing has caused me to do that several times. But I digress, because I do not want to lose my appreciation for these neighborhoods so I just admire from afar. But I definitely need to make a visit. Fall is a prime time because it is when chlorophyll stops being an asshole, the cool weather brings about the aurora borealis and the stores are flooded with fleece. And, it is when Red Wing hosts their Festival of the Arts. It is a juried event that brings 100 artists, approximately 10,000 visitors and Meatheads Meats, which is quite possibly the best name for a meat market/deli I have ever seen. Downtown guests can see everything from clay and pottery to leather and photography. Joining Meatheads is 4 Reasons Kettlecorn, Red Wing Confectionary, Tastee Treatz, Orange Treet, Fiesta Mexicana and Taste of Greece. There will also be live entertainment and activities for kids. Red Wing is more than boots—their fall festival is a perfect time to visit this center for exceptional artists. But they do make some great boots.

Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant” 50th Anniversary Tour 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24

The Sheldon Theatre, Red Wing Son of American’s most beloved folk-writers, Woody Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie is probably the only man who was saved from the Vietnam War by a bag of trash. Literally. One day, at a church his friend, Alice, in Massachusetts had bought and called home, he decided to simply take out the trash. But alas, the dump was closed. So he took the bag of garbage and threw it over a cliff, because ya know, that’s what everyone else was doing. This small act got him arrested, leaving a mark on his record and barring him from the draft. That wasn’t luck—it was fate. An event that would lead him to produce his most unforgettable song, “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre,” that exploded his career and legacy in to what it is today. Arlo grew up surrounded by musicians and inevitably took the route of his father by singing songs of protest and emboldening activism among his listeners. This particular song, an 18-minute monologue, is filled with fingerpicking progressions and people get pretty upset when Guthrie doesn’t play it at shows. And he doesn’t, most of the time. This is an anniversary tour and he has reserved these occasions as pretty much the only time he will perform the song live. Like the grandiose fog that fills the Grand Canyon, these anniversary tours only happen every 10 years. “To have what happened to me actually happen and not be a work of fiction still remains amazing,” Guthrie said. Pretty amazing, indeed. Come see the effect a seemingly random happenstance can just have.

Oktoberfest

Oct 2, 3, 9 and 10 New Ulm

It seems like there is an Oktoberfest happening everywhere come fall season and to be honest, as I usually am, I had no idea what they were. I remember hearing about them before I was (legally) able to drink, the ‘k’ threw me off and then I saw one happening at a church. I later heard about people getting completely plastered at another. So, here I am to set the record straight. Not really. Oktoberfest is, in fact, a celebration that involves copious amounts of beer and of course, merrymaking. The original Oktoberfest happens in Munich, Germany and is the largest fair in the world. The event opens every year with the Mayor tapping a keg of beer—now that is a political figure everyone can love. Replace the Ferris wheel of Munich with a 45-foot Musical Glockenspiel and you will have New Ulm’s version of Oktoberfest. The festival happens the first two Saturday’s of October at several locations throughout New Ulm. One can expect German food, music, horse-drawn trolley rides and dancing. The first Saturday will feature a Germanic-American Day Parade and the start of Taste of New Ulm. Live entertainment will be included on both days and Schell’s Brewery will be truckin’ around in a Beer Wagon. And if you missed out on cheese curds from the county fairs over the summer, this is your chance before it gets more than a tid bit nipply outside. – – Autumn Van Ravenhorst, editor@southernminnscene.com

Denim & Diamonds Artbash 6-9 p.m., Friday, Oct. 23 Rochester Art Center

Casual elegance—now that’s what I’m talking about. This isn’t at all similar to when you start a new job and they tell you the dress code is ambiguously defined “business casual” and you’re like “Great.” The dress code where everything is wrong. Dress up too much and you get comical stares; don’t dress up enough and you are in the boss’s office. No, this is one of those things where everything is right. Not just food, but delectable food; not just décor, but dazzling décor. That is how the Rochester Arts Center describes the amenities of this event. This is their annual fundraiser to gain support for all of the wonderful exhibitions, educational programs and public partnerships for the year. It’s a party—for art. The Rochester Art Center has been brewing up all sorts of great happenings and it will be exciting to see what they do for this year’s bash. Enjoy the live entertainment and ponder the art displays. And hey, if you see something you “don’t get,” hit up Susannah Magers, their new Curator. She is a gifted woman with bluntbangs and a Mona Lisa smile. She is hard to miss. She’ll tell you what’s up . . . with that crazy abstraction on the wall. – – Autumn Van Ravenhorst, editor@southernminnscene.com

Art tours/exhibits/festivals, whatever you want to call them, can often be intimidating. There is this artist, just standing there, as you walk by and look at their work. Sometimes I am unsure how to approach a conversation because I don’t want to be the 348th person to say, “wow” or “how do you do that?” even though that should be expected. Sometimes I don’t know who the artist is because there is a group standing in silence in this small space. It is all very impersonal to me. In its eleventh year, the StudioArTour spans across Faribault and Northfield allowing art enthusiasts to enter the work space of the artists, making it less mechanical and more intimate. Forty-six artists will showcase their work and 19 studios will be open. Ten of those studios will demonstrate technique and seven of them will be open for early preview and shopping. The event is free, unless of course you decide to purchase something which is always encouraged—buy some damn art. You will have the opportunity to meet local artists of all creative practices including jewelry, ceramics, pottery, photography, wood carving and metalwork. I can’t imagine a better place to see local artwork than in their very own “office” where most of my awkward questions can be answered just by observing my surroundings. Plus it is fall. Plus-plus you can grab a bagel if you get hungry or any other delicacy from the preserved downtowns of Faribault and Northfield. – – Autumn Van Ravenhorst, editor@southernminnscene.com

Tributefest: A Tribute to The King, Elvis Presley 7 p.m., October 10

Paradise Center for the Arts, Faribault A couple years ago, the Paradise started this annual event as a fundraiser for building maintenance. It was the tenth anniversary of Johnny Cash’s passing, so the powers at The Paradise decided a tribute to the Man in Black was in order. Local bands were recruited to put their own spin on Cash’s classics and, to the surprise of every single person involved, the show sold out. Thinking they were onto something, the same people recruited a new body of local musicians and bands to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The British Invasion. Headlined by Minnesota Music hall of Famer, and noted expert on the era Gary Rue, the show was again a rousing success. So, now in year three, the Paradise has made Tributefest an annual tradition, and are giving the royal tribute to the King. 38 years after his passing, Elvis Presley has maintained his popularity and place in American culture. Sure, sometimes that place can be a little cartoonish, fueling a billion dollar industry of Elvis impersonators and constantly giving The National Enquirer grainy photos of what might be an Elvis sighting at a Burger King in Moline, IL., but that only speaks to the fact that Elvis himself was larger than life. Thankfully more than just the image of him in a white jumpsuit on a stage in Las Vegas has endured. His music continues to inspire romance, passion, and the lust for adventure, some 60 years after he first cut “That’s Alright” in Memphis’ Sun Studios. Among the musicians playing their favorite Elvis songs this year are Chad Johnson & The 8th Street Band, Matthew Griswold, Carey Langer and Barb Piper, whose beautiful, elegant voice should lend nuance and subtlety to some of those songs that has been heretofore unheard. It’s going to be a great night in Memph, er, Faribault.

Lightning vs. The Blackhawks.

Like the sun, sports do not stop F or most of the human race, or better yet the people that I have been running into lately, when you all have heard that preseason football (the football where you throw the good ol’ pigskin around, oink oink) has started you all go: “Uhhh...wait. Didn’t football JUST end!?” and heres my answer; NO it didn’t. Do you realize that in baseball they play 162 games in 6 months, then tag on another month for Post Season/World Series? Or hockey. Oh. My. God. Hockey. The last hockey game was JUNE 15th* and preseason starts on Sept 20th and as for their playoffs, it never ends. But my point here is that this is the time of the year when its FULL ON, 100% ALL DAY EVERY DAMN DAY SPORTSING. September (and sometimes October, when ya know, if the Twins decide to be a legitimate sports team and make it to the Post Season) is the month where you can watch literally every single freaking sports team in one day, if you count preseason games like I do because THOSE (don’t) MATTER. It’s like Christmas Day for me, I act like a hyperactive child who’s had too much ovaltine and snuck some of dads coffee when he wasn’t looking. Its a damn beautiful thing.

I have always dreamt of the day I would be at a sports event, and it would last for what seemed like forever. Imagine if you were at the Isner-Mahut Tennis match in 2010. It spanned three days (since it was at Wimbledon and they could only play with the natural light that was provided by the lovely sun) and went for a total of 11 hours and 5 minutes, the last set was 8 hours and 11 minutes which was longer than the previous longest Tennis match. My word, imagine the chafing that was going on, especially in those tiny man shorts they usually wear. Ouch, man. Better yet, imagine if you were at the Minor League Baseball game between the Pawtucket Red Sox (Booo!!) and Rochester Red Wings (The current MN Twins AAA affiliate, yayy!) April 18th, 1981. This Behemoth of a game lasted 33 innings. The game began at 7:00 pm and lasted until 4:07 am in which I assume some hero stood up and said “What in the fresh hell are we doing? I haven’t been home in so long I forgot the faces of my children, I have sat here and literally watched the grass grow, I now have bed sores from sitting on this bench for the past 8 hours. The last time I did that was when I binge watched all of my VHS tapes of Dallas I recorded right before the season finale. Lets finish this later!”

And they did, two months later and it only took one inning to close out the worlds longest baseball game. Fun fact, Cal Ripken Jr and Wade Boggs were lucky enough to have gone through that

marathon of a game. Later on they became really good baseball players, from what I’ve heard. *Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning are still currently playing game 6 of the 2015 Stanley Cup, in their 2,304th overtime period.

Isner Mahut.

CD REVIEWS By RICH LARSON editor@southernminnscene.com

Hank and Rita are the best of The Frye

ountry music is all about heartbreak, right? That’s the assumption of noncountry fans. Country is all “She broke my heart, frowned at my mama, jumped in my truck and left with my dog.” Yes, just as in life, heartbreak is a big deal in country music. But also as in life, it’s more complicated than that. That’s the simple message of the new project put together by the Southern Minnesota duo known as The Frye. The two have invented a country husband and wife team at the end of a very long road and have written an entire stage show around them called The Best of Hank and Rita. Just so everything is straight here – The Frye are Joe Tougas and Ann Rosenquist Fee, who have been playing music together so well for so long that they are commonly mistaken for a married couple. A couple years ago they decided to put that chemistry to the test and create a music based theatrical performance, or as they call it, a Barroom Operetta, portraying an onstage break-up. Thus was born the ill-fated couple, Hank and Rita. The story goes that Hank and Rita had found some success on the country charts in the mid-1970’s, but slowly that success had become cheaper shows in lower rent venues. By the time we catch up with them in 1986, Rita has had enough. She pens a letter to her husband telling him that she is leaving and sets it in the dress-

ing room for Hank to find after what he doesn’t realize will be their final show. Tougas and Rosenquist Fee have been performing this show for the last couple months in Mankato, New Ulm and Minneapolis, with more shows scheduled for Duluth and Northfield. Based on the music alone, I must recommend that you find some way to attend one of these events. The Best of Hank and Rita is a brilliant song cycle that nearly plays like a novel. As a “career spanning overview,” Tougas and Rosenquist Fee use the songs to flesh out their characters, showing us all the highs and lows of a showbiz relationship. The opener is H&R’s biggest hit “The First Time,” a snapshot retelling of the couple’s happy salad days. Yet even in the joy of a bright, wide open future Tougas and Rosenquist Fee set the stage for questions and crack in their foundation. The story continues, jumping from nostalgia (“Without A Home” and “Long, Long Road to Goodbye”), to resigned sentiment (“No Mistake”) to brooding contemplation (“Between Us”). While the two main characters in The Best of Hank and Rita may not fare very well throughout the album, Tougas and Rosenquist Fee shine. As a songwriter, Tougas has taken on an incredibly challenging project – create an entire relationship, beginning to end, in ten songs. Concept albums almost always collapse under the weight of their own self-importance, but Tougas succeeds where egos go to fail. The story told through the music is even handed, and at times left open ended,

leaving the listener to wonder what exactly is going on at certain points in the show, but eagerly anticipating the next song/installment in the story. Rosenquist Fee is given the difficult job of conveying Rita’s complicated nature through her singing. To be sure, Tougas’ lyrics are quality tools, but even the best tools can’t work without someone who knows how to use them. Rosenquist Fee proves to be an excellent actress, conveying joy, anger, frustration, despair, optimism and surprise at different turns. Her voice is the emotional engine that drives the story. Tougas and Rosenquist Fee also have an excellent grasp of the period in which they’ve chosen to work. The late 70’s and early 80’s aren’t exactly remembered as a golden age for country music (unless your name was Willie, Waylon or John Travolta), but they pump life into a lifeless era. Rosenquist Fee’s vocals bring back vivid memories of Barbara Mandrell and Crystal Gayle. Tougas brings real beauty out of an era when country wasn’t cool. How the show plays out is a mystery, even to me (I haven’t yet been able to see the stage production). Will Rita really walk away from Hank? Do we want her to? Will Hank care? Honestly, I have no idea. All I can say is Hank and Rita have brought the best out of The Frye. Rich Larson is the publisher and editor of SouthernMinn Scene.

Northfield to Nashville is Chad Johnson’s meditation on family and making it big

had Johnson is a familiar name in Southern Minnesota, particularly in Rice County, where he has played in Faribault and Northfield since he was a teenager. As the front man for the 8th Street Band, as a solo performer, and sometimes as half a duo with Jason Paulson, Johnson has been a ubiquitous player in bars, fairs and festivals playing the kind of classic rock and country covers that we all love to hear in social settings. The problem with playing covers and being a “bar band” is it’s easy to get pegged as that guy who plays all those songs you love. Or, put another way, you become just another guy playing all of those same songs. This is the musician’s equivalent of being in the “Friend Zone.” Sure you get to hang out with that really awesome girl, but you’re never going to get anywhere if you don’t take a few chances and bare your soul a little bit. With Northfield to Nashville, Johnson does just that. Everybody’s favorite singer of John Mellencamp, Marshall Tucker Band and Merle Haggard shows that he’s learned a thing or two from playing all those masterfully crafted, timeless songs. Johnson shows a deft songwriter’s touch as he explores his duel life of family man and bar singer. Backed by a crew of Nashville professionals, Johnson presents a brutally honest, beautifully crafted collection of songs that can stand with anything on his

Dr. Dre goes out blazing on his third and final album

he N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton” surprised Hollywood when it debuted on an opening box office of $60.2 Million Dollars. Similarly, Dr. Dre caught the music listening public off guard when he dropped his autobiographical “Compton” album on iTunes as a companion piece to the movie. Before diving into Dre’s new work, a revisit of the seminal classic N.W.A. album the movie was named after was important. With production now dated by comparison (did they really include a sample the Beastie Boys “Fight For Your Right”?), the album remains one of the better, if not more disturbing, snapshots of a time and place in Rap history. It deserves every accolade it has received. On “Compton,” beat master Andre “Dr. Dre” Young delivers his own look back with a minimum of contemplation. He simply tells what he sees in his mind’s eye. The album begins with a sampled Bill Kurtis narrative describing a Compton that once was the “Black American Dream” but is now one of the most dangerous places in the country, a dream torn up by violence and death. New discovery King Mez positively ignites the opening track “Talk About It” boasting that he isn’t “about the glocks, but is all about Fort Knox.” Describing himself as both the Black Eminem and the humbler 50, King Mez is a ferocious talent. By the time Dr. Dre comes in, intoning that even though he bought California, he still has “Eminem checks he hasn’t opened yet.” You get the feeling that regardless of past struggles, Dre is more than just alright. His recent sale of Beats to Apple for $500 Million may have something to do with it. One thing that Dr. Dre does extremely

set list. The seven song EP begins with a honky tonk riff driven bit of wisdom called “Fire and Steel.” It’s a classic handing down of blue collar values from generation to generation: never turn your back on a true friend, there’s honor and value in a hard day’s work, nothing is more important than integrity. Valuable sentiments , to be sure, but nothing we haven’t heard from people like George Jones, George Strait and Johnny Cash for decades. What saves “Fire and Steel” from becoming a cliché is the music itself. The easy rhythm and strum of Johnson’s guitar is a nod to the familiarity – even comfort - of the lessons. It is Johnson’s best vocal work on the album, bolstered by the chorus of backup singers and offset by a slide guitar that slices through, bringing some grit and reality to the age old sermon. This is followed by a part-confession/ part-repudiation/part-resignation of Johnson’s inability to follow his own advice. In “Neon Lights,” he wrestles with his responsibilities to his family and his responsibilities to his music. “I know I should go home and go to bed/But I think I’ll just stay here instead, in the neon lights,” he says defiantly in one verse, then feels the guilt of a devoted husband in the next. Likewise on “The Man I Like,” Johnson sorts through the frustration of artistry vs. entertainment. “I love my kids and I love my wife/I still can follow their dream and reach for the sky/waiting for sympathetic angels and lightning to strike/it’s time I

look in the mirror and see the man I like.” It’s interesting that Johnson should choose these themes of guilt and frustration at a time when his career has hit an uptick. Northfield to Nashville was largely recorded in Nashville itself, produced by veteran country music pro Gary Sadker. The polish put to Johnson’s music helps his skills shine through as both a songwriter and a vocalist. Despite his hard-earned anxieties, Johnson’s confidence in himself is utterly apparent. This is most apparent on “Ride Along,” a Southern Minnesota small town anthem, dripping in love, pride, respect and authenticity, where he pays tribute to the music upon which he grew up (I was taken in by the Gear Daddies shout out). There’s an unbridled joy in this song that is inspiring. In the end, of course, Johnson returns to Southern Minnesota, his roots, his family and the bars and festivals that have shaped him. The great thing about Northfield to Nashville is the rejuvenation that can be heard in Johnson’s music. Yes, he still dream of hearing his music played on “every jukebox from here to Georgetown,” but grounded by the love he has for and from his family and community, Johnson sounds like a man who knows his dreams have already come true.

well is identify new talent. After shepherding Snoop Dogg, Eminem and more recently, Kendrick Lamar to success, he seems to have found another rocket in King Mez who features prominently throughout “Compton.” His sense of rhyme, phrasing and fervent vocal attack reveal an artist that we will hear much more of in the future. One problem of “Compton” is that Dr. Dre is not a rapper. He is a studio master, crafting beats and soundscapes to rival those of Phil Spector, Brian Wilson and George Martin. While he is gifted in sound, he must rely on others to write his rhymes. That is especially difficult with an album attempting to be autobiographically reflective. His delivery suffers in comparison with the flow of his more agile guests like Jon Connor who flutters across the beat on “For The Love of Money” with the deftness of a skipping stone. Ice Cube makes a welcome appearance on “Issues” delivering a verse that ends with a sly reference to a previous solo hit. Even though his focus has been on movies more than music, this small piece verifies that he hasn’t lost his singular and smart voice. While sonically superior to “Straight Outta Compton,” this album suffers when it tries to recapture the same content of the N.W.A. classic. Tracks like “Loose Cannons” that feature Dre, Cold 187um, Xzibit and Sly Pyper boasting about their gangsta prowess before dissolving into a graphically descriptive and senseless murder that leaves the four trying to figure out how to bury the body ring false. It feels like the 50-year old Dre is just trying to shock here. For someone who has built a career based on observational honesty, this sounds detached and phony. Dre works best when he keeps it real on tracks like “It’s All On Me.” It is easy to

believe him when he raps about the pressures of the “company asking me when I’m gonna release” and the responsibilities put on him by his homies helping them get off the street even though they “never gave him a call back in the day.” His remembrances of DJing parties in his neighborhood, and then having his hits “now up in the club” feels real and not forced. It is at these moments that the album becomes breathtaking. It’s not about the shock, it’s about the truth. “Satisfiction” is pure fun, going after all the poseurs in their business. King Mez suggests that “you leased your car, leased your house, leased your spouse. Know she leavin’ if you run outta paper.” Wise old “Uncle” Snoop Dogg steps in advising Dre to continue to keep it real or else the house they built will be torn down. As long as someone out there is delivering lines as well thought out and executed as this, the foundation of that house will always be strong. Ghosts of his former N.W.A. collegues, especially the late Eric “Eazy-E” Wright, weigh heavily on this album. It is filled with multiple references including a brief sample of Eazy on “Darkside/Gone.” Dre’s time with N.W.A. becomes the most prominent in the album closing “Talking To My Diary” recounting both the wins and losses before noting that he has “no ink in the pen, no lines on the paper,” a clear sign that his time playing at least this part of the game is over, giving his third and final album a proper conclusion. “Until the next episode…” Bottom Line: At times uncomfortably forced, Dr. Dre succeeds when he stays honest.

CD REVIEWS By SARAH OSTERBAUER editor@southernminnscene.com

Peter Wolf Crier’s indy pleasing Plum Slump

lum Slump is Peter Wolf Crier’s third album, but the first one that they’ve put out independently, funding crowd sourced via Pledge Music. The duo of Peter Pisano and Brian Moen (Shouting Matches, Laarks, Amateur Love) recorded the album in Minnesota, just north of the the Twin Cities at Brian’s parents’ cabin. Despite living in different countries (Peter teaches in Toronto, while Brian lives in Oakland,CA), the two managed to hammer out Plum Slump whenever Peter was on a break from teaching. In an interview with Jason Nagle of Go96.3, the two affectionately recount the recording process as a lot of all-nighters filled with Crunch Berries and Boca burgers. The final product coming out as a solid, no frills, everything you love about rock, rock album. As a guitar and drums duo, it makes sense that those shine the most on the album. However they don’t rely on them exclusively. Synths, keyboards and other elements make appearances but the feel is very garage rock. On their Pledge Music page (important to note they did reach their goal), they talk at length about their goals for album creation and their writing process. This approach was influenced in part by the fact that in an interview with the Star Tribune following the tour

for their second album, they expressed that the tour became work. PWC did not want this third album to feel like work.To remedy that feeling, they put it together over a series of jam sessions where a fire was always lit during recording and the goal was to play what felt good without overthinking. That vibe comes across right from the gate with “Big Fads” featuring big drums and distorted guitar welcoming the listener to their indie rock jam sesh. One of the great things about Peter Wolf Crier is that they do not limit themselves vocally. On “Hedgehog” there are definite JIm James vibes on the waxy high notes. Then taking a whole different turn, “We Became Kids Again”, feels raw, almost timid and broken. It’s comparable to M. Ward, but without that muted element that he has. And when you finally get used to the high voice, low rock grumble and broken raw emo thing they switch between, “Don’t Leave” comes along as something different. Higher register smoothness easing you into the tail end of the album. It’s reminiscent of Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack. Stylewise, Plum Slump grabs onto all the great rock elements. On “Monight” we get that classic rock vibe, heavy drums and guitar picking moving in sync creating that thick rock beat. “When Did I Decide” is that sea breezy Cali rock with the echoy vocals. At the tail end the Bon Iver-esque

spastic guitars remind you that Brian hails from the Eau Claire musician camp. “Model” has that slow moody Radiohead thing going. “Don’t Leave” is easily my favorite track on the album. The light airy electric guitar melody gives it a nostalgic 90’s teen movie feel (ala Can’t Hardly Wait). The line “when we were young, we held our breaths under water for as long as it took to hear our hearts pound. It was comforting not to be rescued so don’t rescue me.” The drums are softer and there’s some sugary twinkling going on in the background. Plum Slump is everything you want in an indie rock album. It’s distorted and whirring guitars, distinctive big personality drums, echo-y emotive vocals breathing life into old visuals and no rules melodies. It’s that post rock show windows down drive on an empty freeway. It’s a drunken stumble in a well-lit alley laughing with your best friend. It’s cigarette smoke and candy; that whole balance between being a grown up but still prone to a sugar high. Listen to it whenever you’re up past your bedtime eating cereal and donuts cause life is short. And because donuts. Sarah Osterbauer is the SouthernMinn Scene music columnist.

Dick, but it isn’t—it’s an actual response I received from Facebook after I declined their offer to share a photo I had posted three years prior, and had been kindly reminded that I had done so. Kevin, we care about you and the memories you share here. You posted this photo exactly three years ago. We thought you’d like to look back on it today. But why, Facebook? Why did you think that? For all your algorithms and targeted marketing, based on what you presume my interests and habits to be, it turns out that you really just don’t know me at all. You see, Facebook has a problem—a problem with nostalgia. We all do, really. But Facebook seems to be the easiest to identify as far as the root cause for perpetuating the nostalgia we long for within our own lives, and the narcissism that makes us believe anything we do is a) meaningful at all, and more importantly, b) worth sharing with a somewhat captive audience on the Internet. What was it about this photo that made Facebook think I’d want to look back on it, three years later? There is nothing remarkable about it. It’s a close up of my stupid face in a poorly lit restaurant—red eye from the flash of my phone’s camera—holding a bottle of Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar.

Of course, the joke with the photo is that the cartoon man on the front of the beer bottle looks exactly like me. This memory, like many, is fleeting. It was just something that provided a small laugh in a noisy restaurant on a Saturday evening. And it’s a memory, or a moment, or whatever, that I hadn’t given much thought to for the last three years, simply because it was nothing special. But how do we even determine what moment from our lives is worth remembering regularly, or only occasionally, or completely forgetting until a social media network reminds us that it happened? Or is it no longer up to us to make important decisions like that—is it up to

witness? a higher power (Mark Zuckerberg and the staff of Facebook) to make those calls? A growing concern over the last couple of years is one of the “fear of missing out,” or FOMO as it can be called. And it seems propagated by sharing and over-sharing every moment of your existence on social media. This is why we all do what everyone hates, but everyone does anyway— when we’re in a social situation, rather than conversing with the people we are with, we pull out our phones, and scroll through Facebook because we are worried that we are missing out on a good time someone is having without us. With that comes the belief that whatever it is we are doing is also incredibly important, and worth sharing, to lead people to believe that they are missing out on all the fun that we are having. Nostalgia is dangerous. It seems harmless at first—with your Buzzfeed lists of things only kids who grew up in the 90s will remember, or with sharing your old, blurry family photos, showing off your unfortunate hairstyles from decades long gone for “Throwback Thursdays” on social media. But then you start to get attached to a specific time in your life, or specific moments, that you can never get back. There’s some kind of service called Timehop, which will retrieve your social media status updates for the same day from different years, and then it re-shares them for you, with space to make a pithy or “look at how much fun I was having” kind of comment. But why do you need to know what you were doing on the very same day, only a year or two in the past? There’s the rub with social media. It walks this horrible line between both living in the now—the fear of missing out on something fun that you weren’t included in, and longing for the past— needing to know what you were doing at a specific time within recent years, but

what do you gain from that knowledge? What did I gain from Facebook showing me a photo of myself, taken three years ago? I mean, aside from fodder for another one of these columns? Nothing. What does someone gain from Facebook when it reminds them of the “anniversary” of how long they’ve been Face Friends with a person they have actually known for much, much longer? “I have lived, but in my fever I have not even been conscious of the process of life itself. Would you believe it, I don’t remember a single spring, I never noticed how my wife loved me, how my children were born. What more can I tell you? I have been a misfortune to all who have loved me...” -Anton Chekhov It seems worth mentioning at this point that the fear of missing out extends beyond the confines of social media, and the anxiety that someone, somewhere, is having more fun than you are—it extends into just how we are living our lives—or, really, the lacking actual living that we have now fallen victim to. Take, for example, the amount of mobile phone screens you see held up in a crowd during a concert. Yes, when I was capable of leaving the house and going to a concert, I was guilty of taking a few photos during the first two or three songs, but then I’d put my phone away and try to enjoy the show.

Mill City Museum, and despite the “no photography or video recording” signs posted, a woman who was also on the tour had her mobile device out the entire time. We can no longer be content with just making a new memory; an experience has to be stored as bits of code and end in a file extension for it to mean anything. We’re sorry we showed you a memory you didn’t want to see. Another large, but obviously more personal problem is, of course, that all this nostalgia and FOMO can bring up memories you would rather not be reminded of. With your own actual brain, and your own actual memories, I suppose it takes a certain amount of work to suppress things you’d rather not think about—therapy, prescription medications, excessive amounts of alcohol. With social media though, all it takes is the wrong day that you have some kind of emotional connection to, being paired with being “shown a memory you didn’t want to see”—like say it’s your father’s birthday, and you are shown something from the past relating to that. It seems harmless, but what if your father passed away less than a year ago? Is this something you really want to suddenly have to process while staring down your newsfeed? Or say it’s the end of the year, and Facebook continues offering to show people your “Year in Review” that it somehow compiled from your posts and updates. But what if the photo it chooses to put at the beginning of this is of your best friend who died three years ago, and the grief associated with that is something that you are still trying to, and failing at, working through. Thanks Facebook. Thanks a lot, Zuckerberg, you insensitive little prick. In her song “Digital Witness,” Annie Clark, AKA St. Vincent, takes on FOMO culture and sums it up brilliantly with one line in the refrain—“If I can’t show it, you can’t see it—what’s the point in doing anything?” That’s a really good question: what is the point in doing anything? But while she is taking a sardonic look at FOMO culture, I am looking at it from an existential nihilistic viewpoint. For me, there is really not a point to much; however, I too am guilty of checking social media outlets on my phone when I am in situations where it is impolite to be doing so. But I have removed so many of my Face Friends from my newsfeed, so I have the fear of missing out…on pictures of adorable

How often do you watch the shaky video footage you’ve recorded from your vantage point? Recently my wife took a tour of the

animals. Because updates from shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, and people who have made pages for their pets are all I see.

An Evening with Mark Twain featuring Don Shelby Thurs, October 15, 2015

Last year, when the choral group VocalEssence presented their “River Songs” program, former WCCO news anchor and author Don Shelby appeared in the role of Mark Twain. His portrayal was so well-received, that this year he was invited to return to the Newhall stage with his full length, one-man dramatic presentation. Mark Twain is best know of his novels “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” (1876) and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1885). Twain worked as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the Civil War and wrote the travel book/memoir “Life on the Mississippi” in 1883. Don Shelby’s presentation promises to be a wonderful evening filled with Twain’s story-telling, wit, and home spun humor. Adults $22 • Students $12
