Farther Along In the sunny afternoon, piano, guitar and violin fill the house with Bach and Schubert. Later in the evening, Davis Causey is picking his guitar and softly singing: “Show me the way to go home. I’m tired and I want to go to bed… “ He’s singing it for his brother, Joe, who lies dying. Joe’s son Cole picks up the violin and plays along as family and friends join in the song. They segue into “I’ll Fly Away” and several hymns and even a Beatles song or two. Joe is not conscious, but all are convinced that at some level he is aware of the love concentrated on him during this last night of his life. That love is a culmination of Joe’s being, a reflection of all he has given over the years to the people in this room: strong love, uplifting love, practical love, love that suffers long and is kind—as well as a lifetime of laughs. Now Joe has made the transition in a few months from the death sentence of inoperable cancer to acceptance and readiness to face the inevitable, as he has always addressed the tasks that need to be done. The keys to this transition are his former wife and steady friend Marianne May Causey and their son, Cole. They have brought Joe home, where they can supervise his care and allow him time to tie up the loose ends of his life, to visit with a stream of friends and family, to husband his diminishing strength, to reach the point where he can let go of the people he most loves and the life he has looked forward to living a lot longer. Now, quickly, the sunny days on the patio are over; the disease has progressed, the medicines have picked up. Hospice has stepped in, and the task is no longer to keep Joe alive but to get him out of his ruined body. And all this love that has been such a big part of Joe’s life now becomes the vehicle for easing him out of it. This night is a party, a living wake. Those in the room with Joe are talking to him, stroking his arm, smoothing his hair, massaging his feet: laughing, talking, crying. The Braves game is on, with the sound turned down. There’s pizza in the kitchen. Nobody here has ever done anything like this in this way before. These people who do not flinch from life are meeting death headon—not in the necessary sterility of a hospital room, but at home, where so much living has happened. Some stay through the night, sleeping watchfully. Cole tells Joe what is happening, talking about their life together and the life that will continue after Joe can finally let go. And just before six o’clock in the morning, he does. His last breath comes, and he is gone. They have brought him through. Love has held steady in the valley of the shadow of death. Joe has died as he has lived—on his own terms, surrounded by music and by those he loves, feeling that love rebound to him: strengthening, even as life weakens. All those left behind now have to cope with the loss of Joe’s strong and caring presence. During the past months they have staged a heroic effort for Joe; now they must do it again for themselves. They all have to figure out how to live the rest of their lives without Joe, without his steady hand on the steering wheel (even when succumbing to the hijinks of “New York Taxi”). Maybe Joe’s life—how he lived—and his death—how he died—tell us what we need to know in order to figure out how to go on without him. Work hard. Have fun. Love your friends and family, and take care of them. Be generous with your resources. Do what needs to be done. Practice. Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com A memorial service for Joseph S. Causey will be held at First Presbyterian Church downtown at 4 p.m. this Saturday, July 6.

city dope How to Make the Suburbs Cool Selig: As this issue was hitting newstands, the Athens-Clarke County Commission was voting on Selig Enterprises’ downtown development. Citizens spent the past week rallying support for delaying the project based on former commissioner Carl Jordan’s revelations in the June 26 Flagpole about a forgotten rail spur through the Armstrong & Dobbs property that could— if the commission doesn’t give it away—bypass two steep hills and provide a level connection from East Athens to campus. It looked at press time, though, like the commission would approve the development anyway. Check Flagpole.com to find out.

Atlanta Highway: When Georgia Square Mall opened in the early 1980s, downtown businesses headed for greener pastures, or at least what used to be pastures. Drawn by cheap rents, artists and musicians moved in, turning downtown into the quirky, dynamic place we know and love today. Auto-centric strip malls were the future then, and downtown main streets were the past. Ironically, now it’s the big boxes and shopping centers with acres of parking that are in danger, and downtown is in some ways a victim of its own success. Let’s be real: Atlanta Highway kind of sucks. It’s the antithesis of what we think of as Athens—sprawling and full of chain businesses. It might as well be Snellville. But its franchise restaurants and big boxes employ thousands of people and bring in millions of dollars in tax revenue to the city. We can’t afford to let it die. With a new outdoor mall in Oconee County threatening to pull in retailers from Atlanta Highway, Commissioner Mike Hamby put together a committee last year to find ways to revitalize the corridor. That committee is paying the Urban Land Institute $15,000 to brainstorm ways to fix the ailing corridor. The institute brought 14 experts to Athens Thursday and Friday to take a look at it for themselves. They advised ACC officials to come up with a strategy, build relationships with property owners, relax development standards, provide tax incentives for job creation and improve signage. It all sounded pretty rote, until Ryan Gravel spoke up. Gravel is an urban designer who came up with the idea for the Atlanta BeltLine, the transit and pedestrian loop that promises to spur sustainable development in intown neighborhoods. “Oconee County is pursuing an outdated strategy,” he said. “In my opinion, it’s a mistake to do what they’re doing.” The creative types who saved downtowns like Athens’ are now being pushed out as those downtowns gentrify and become more mainstream, Gravel said. At the same time, many

cities like Athens are also having trouble with vacant retail space in their suburban corridors. Why can’t creative people do there what they did downtown? “These can be kind of low-cost areas where people can get creative and do something interesting,” he said. “But that might require lowering your standards” to give them the freedom to do it. He cited the example of Buford Highway, another aging commercial corridor that found new life as a regional destination for ethnic food. Maybe something similar could happen on Atlanta Highway with music. What if we convinced Georgia Square Mall to tear down its outbuildings and some of its parking and replace them with

From cotton to condos. greenspace, gathering places like coffee shops and a stage where families could see concerts? What if we encouraged developers to turn the shells of big boxes into lofts, artists’ studios, offices and band rehearsal spaces, the way we do with abandoned industrial areas like the Chase Street warehouses? What if we created a semi-walkable environment and connected the strip malls along the highway so shoppers didn’t have to get back in their cars, turn left across four lanes of traffic and drive a quarter of a mile to get from Toys ‘R’ Us to the mall? “You can’t compete with the suburbs,” Atlanta transportation planner Heather Alhadeff said. “You have to recognize your uniqueness. You have to grab it. You have to celebrate it.”

Southern Mill: Speaking of redevelopment, a Watkinsvillebased developer has submitted plans to turn a century-old Boulevard mill into lofts. Millworks Holdings, a Watkinsville-based company, intends to renovate four vacant mill and warehouse buildings north of Oneta Street and west of Chase Street into what was known in a previous incarnation as Southern Mill Lofts. (An unnamed company representative said in an email that the project is now called Millworks.) Although it’s an attractive 18-acre site just blocks from the Boulevard neighborhood and the Chase Street warehouses—a similar and successful adaptive reuse project— the property has sat vacant for years. The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation owns an easement on the buildings’ facades, and the developer is applying for state and federal tax credits that will require preserving the interiors as well, ACHF Executive Director Amy Kissane said. The State Office of Historic Preservation and the National Park Service will have to sign off on the plans. “With the facade easements, they are required to preserve the exterior of the building,” Kissane said. “Going for those rehabilitation tax credits means they will be held to the highest standards in our codes, which is great news.” The Southern Manufacturing Co. built the mill in 1900 to process cotton that was shipped along the railroad running adjacent to the property. The Wilkins family bought it in 1953 and started manufacturing overalls, slacks and blue jeans and storing dog food there. But like most of Northeast Georgia’s mills, it closed and lay dormant before Atlanta-based Aderhold Properties bought it in 2000. The AthensClarke Commission approved Aderhold’s plans that year, but they never came to fruition. In an effort to generate interest in the property, the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation and the University of Georgia College of Environment and Design held a charette and symposium last year to discuss what could be done with it. Ideas participants came up with included an arts community with affordable housing and studio space, an assisted living center with live/work space for caretakers and an incubator for light industries. Millworks Holdings isn’t using any of those ideas, though. Instead, it’s using the plans already approved by the commission 13 years ago, except that it’s not proposing any new construction, ACC planner Gavin Hassemer said. The complex will now include 181 units with a total of 262 bedrooms, as well as a parking lot. “It will not be student housing,” Kissane said. “They’re doing more creative residential.” Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

America’s Promise this 4th of July Clarke Schools Shouldn’t Ban Books The timing could not have been better. In the days leading up to the Fourth of July, when we celebrate the founding of this country, we were given reminders of just what it means to be an American. The Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision last week that said persons of the same sex can marry and receive the same federal benefits that are extended to traditional married couples. Just two days after that historic decision, the U.S. Senate passed and sent to the House of Representatives a comprehensive immigration reform bill. If that measure is signed into law, then millions of undocumented immigrants residing in this country will be allowed to pursue a lengthy administrative path to eventual citizenship. Those actions are the latest developments in the long story of a nation that slowly but surely extends to all of its citizens the civil rights that originally were limited to a privileged few. There was a time not long ago when several states, including Georgia, would not allow men and women of different races to marry. The Supreme Court struck that down in 1967. Last week’s gay marriage decision is another step in that march to equal rights. Nearly 10 years ago, Georgia voters overwhelmingly passed a state constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriages. That amendment has largely been made irrelevant by the Supreme Court, and you can bet that Georgia’s gay marriage prohibition will one day be erased from the books. One of the most important rights Americans hold is the ability to cast a ballot on election day. When the Constitution was ratified more than 220 years ago, however, only white males who owned property were allowed to vote. Over the years, the right to vote has slowly been granted to all citizens regardless of race or gender. By 1856, the vote had been expanded to all white males. In 1868, former

slaves who were males were allowed to vote. In 1920, the 19th Amendment extended suffrage to all women. By 1947, the legal barriers that prevented Native Americans from voting were removed. In 1952, all people of Asian ancestry were granted the right to become citizens. In 1971, 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. There have been setbacks along the way, including last week’s Supreme Court ruling that struck down an important provision of the Voting Rights Act, but we continue to live in a country where rights are usually expanded, not restricted. Despite the concerns you often hear about the movement of immigrants into the U.S., this is a country whose entire history has seen our population bolstered by successive waves of people who came to these shores and, in time, became citizens. Over the past two centuries, discrimination has given way to assimilation. State legislators have sponsored bills in recent years that were intended to make hundreds of thousands of immigrants disappear from Georgia and go back to their countries of origin. Those measures will fail. The immigrants who have come here over the last 20 years to provide a source of cheap labor will eventually be allowed to take their place as American citizens with the full rights enjoyed by all. History has taught us that lesson many times. “America was always promises,” said the poet Archibald MacLeish. “From the first voyage and the first ship there were promises.” America’s promise has always been this: we will find a place for everyone who comes here and we will find a way, sometimes after horrendous struggle, to ensure that those who are here will have the same rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That is a promise to remember on this Fourth of July. Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

During a recent Clarke County Board of Education meeting, there was discussion about And the Earth Did Not Devour Him by Tomas Rivera, a work of literature that middle school students read, a book that won the first national award for Chicano literature in 1970 and, as Amazon.com puts it, “has become the standard text for Hispanic literature classes.” Indeed, reading several pages of links found through an Internet search—including several study guides for teachers—not a single one hinted at anything other than that this is an outstanding work of literature that should be widely read. Few would disagree that challenging students with great literature is a major component of education. The professional educators in Clarke County and elsewhere have identified this and other books that not only are recognized as great literature, but also provide a connection for our students. This particular book provides connection, inspiration and understanding across cultures. As I understand it, two parents objected to the book because of concerns about some of the language, and Superintendent Philip Lanoue told them that their children, and any others whose parents objected, would be exempt from reading the book. That seems an eminently fair and appropriate response. I understand that the parents filed an appeal, objecting that not only should their own child not read it, but that it should not be included in the reading list for other students. Their reasoning is that students are expected not to use such language, so reading a work of art in which a character uses such language is inconsistent with expectations for their own behavior. That reasoning is specious at best. Our students read of assassinations, of terrorism, of deception, of myriad other activities in which we would not want them to engage. Is anyone suggesting that we remove books containing such unacceptable acts from students’ reading lists? If we want our children to grow into adults with critical thinking skills, they cannot be deprived of literature simply because someone, for some reason, objects to it. I personally

did not like that school books my children read glorified war, in violation of my religious beliefs, but I did not ask that they not read them, let alone that others not read them. The suggestion that our students are incapable of appropriate responses to a renowned, if challenging, work of literature that is used in many middle schools reminds me of the still-too-common phenomenon of low expectations. CCSD’s numbers have shown significant improvement in recent years in large part because expectations are set high, and support is provided to meet those expectations. Let us not move backward on that, and let us not return to the days when the Board of Education moved from its role in policy and governance into interfering with the professional judgment and day-to-day work of the superintendent and curricular staff. Excluding books from the Clarke County School District based on their language means that Shakespeare, the Bible and many other books would be removed. If objections to content by any parents mean removal of a work for all students, you might as well stop teaching literature at all, or for that matter science, history or any other subject matter. Someone objects to just about everything. I do not understand why five Board of Education members have instructed the Superintendent to reconsider his decision. Under its current makeup (and those of the last several years), I have almost never disagreed in any significant way with a decision of our Board of Education. However, I strongly disagree with this one. As one who cares passionately about our schools, I fully expect the board will not further interfere if the superintendent allows the book to remain on the list. Please, board members, do not remove great works of literature from our schools’ curriculum. Do not remove And the Earth Did Not Devour Him or any other work selected by our professional educators as part of the curriculum. Tim Johnson Comment is an occasional opinion column. Send your Comment ideas to news@flagpole.com.

[Editor’s Note] The controversy over And the Earth Did Not Devour Him centers around the following passage, part of a worker’s internal monologue after the truck carrying him breaks down. “What a stupid woman! How could she be so dumb as to throw that diaper out the front of the truck. It came sliding along the canvas and good thing I had my glasses on or I would even have gotten the shit in my eyes! What a stupid woman! How could she do that? She should’ve known that crap would be blown towards all of us standing back here. Why the hell couldn’t she just wait until we got to a gas station and dump the shit there?… “This is the last fuckin’ year I come out here. As soon as we get to the farm I’m getting the hell out. I’ll go look for a job in Minneapolis. I’ll be damned if I go back to Texas.”

An Up and Down Week

LGBT Community Elated with DOMA, Disappointed in Benefits

Members and supporters of Athens Pride, UGA GLOBES and Georgia Equality pose for a group photo.

D

eeDee Kane’s week started off on a sour note. The University of Georgia professor and head of GLOBES learned Monday, June 24 that the UGA Foundation would not fund health insurance for the domestic partners of gay and lesbian UGA employees, including her own partner. Kane feared the U.S. Supreme Court would deal the LGBT community another setback the following Wednesday by upholding the Defense of Marriage Act. “This morning, for me, started out with some trepidation,” she said June 26. “Are we going to get some more bad news or some good news?” It was good news—maybe the best they’d ever heard. The Supreme Court struck down DOMA, and more than 50 people gathered that evening to celebrate at the UGA Episcopal Student Center. One activist, Ricky Roberts, even broke out into song. Kane acknowledged that many people feel frustrated and angry that they have to work so hard to win their rights. She and others, though, were optimistic that they would win in the end. “I believe in my heart we will have marriage equality in the state of Georgia,” said Melinda Sheldon, deputy director of Georgia Equality. But the UGA Foundation’s decision shows just how much work LGBT activists have ahead of them. They won a small victory in May, when University System Chancellor Hank Huckaby agreed to let UGA offer “soft” benefits, paid for by employees, such as dental and life insurance, to domestic partners. Huckaby also told UGA President Michael Adams that offering health insurance to domestic partners was fine, as long as no taxpayer funds were involved. To many, the UGA Foundation seemed the obvious source of funding, as it raises private donations. Yet June 24, the university announced the foundation’s decision not to fund the benefits, in part because the foundation is administered by state-paid employees, meaning benefits would require the indirect use of state funds. The foundation also said health care funding for the domestic partners of UGA employees lies outside of its mission. Flagpole was unable to reach foundation Chairman Bill Young for comment, and its communications director did not respond to questions. “I’m incredibly disappointed in this decision,” said Janet Frick, chairwoman of the University Council’s Human Resources Committee. “I see this as a huge missed opportunity for UGA.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 3, 2013

More than 75 percent of UGA’s peer and aspirational institutions offer full benefits to domestic partners, including several in states with same-sex marriage bans like Georgia’s. Public universities in Wyoming, Florida, Kentucky, Arizona and most recently Missouri have circumvented state legislation to offer privately-funded equal benefits without using state money. “Meanwhile, our institutional reputation will continue to be of having a lack of commitment to diversity and equity,” Frick said. “We’re in a very small minority of top universities that don’t have these benefits. And we’ll continue to stick out more and more as a place that people won’t want to come work.” Kane cited one part of the Foundation’s mission and purpose statement—“fiduciary care for the assets of the Foundation for the long-term benefit and enhancement of the University”—as her reason for hoping it would fund the benefits.

“I believe in my heart we will have marriage equality in the state of Georgia.” “In my interpretation of that, that would include quality of life for faculty and staff and issues of retention and equity,” she says. “They’re clearly not interpreting it that way. So that was disappointing.” Now, invigorated by their DOMA win, activists will turn their attention to other tasks, such as convincing state legislators to ban workplace discrimination based on sexuality and continuing to push for domestic partner benefits. There are other options, Kane said. The foundation isn’t the only possible source of funding. It was just the one that made sense. “This is far from over, because the university has not exhausted all the possible avenues for finding the money for this program,” said Roberts, a former GLOBES chairwoman. “There are just too many avenues where the money could come from for them to throw in the towel at this point.” For now, Kane said, GLOBES will continue working with the University Council and the administration to seek out other sources of funding. “The faculty and the council and the administration seem to be behind this, but it would be nice to see a little more public advocacy and personal advocacy from the president’s office,

from HR,” she said. “In the other university systems that we’ve seen this happen at, the higher administration has provided direction and leadership on this issue.” Now that DOMA has been struck down, equal rights advocates at UGA hope the school’s administration will adopt a mindset reflecting that of the nation. “I hope that UGA administrators will align with the rest of the country in feeling that equality and fair treatment should be the law of the land and the law of campus,” Roberts said. In a statement, UGA spokesman Tom Jackson said the administration is “pleased that UGA is able to provide the voluntary benefits along the same lines as Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and other institutions in the System” and would not comment further. But as Frick pointed out, these soft benefits are employee-funded and eight years late—faculty and staff first asked for them in 2005. That was a year after Georgia voters, by a margin of 77 percent to 23 percent (52-48 even in supposedly liberal Athens), passed an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage and civil unions. There was a certain amount of schadenfreude in the air at the DOMA celebration. “Remember how sick and frustrated you were in 2003, 2004?” DuBose asked the crowd. “How you cussed and kicked something? Well, this (the DOMA ruling) is retribution for that. “I think we should bring it back up for a vote,” she said, noting that the majority of Americans now accept same-sex marriage, especially young people. “I think we can beat ‘em now.” Based on Georgia Equality’s polls, Sheldon was not so sure. “It may not surprise you we don’t have as much support here as we do when you poll all Americans,” she said. “It’s still in the 30 percent (range). So the first step is education.” In the meantime, Sheldon and other experts are still trying to parse what the DOMA decision will mean for Georgians. Same-sex marriages in other states still won’t be recognized here, and partners won’t be eligible for federal tax breaks for married couples or Social Security benefits because they’re under the control of states, she said. However, Sheldon, an Army reservist, expects the military to “act really quickly” to offer benefits like health insurance to same-sex partners, and the Obama administration will make other federal benefits available in the coming weeks, she said.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week. • indicates new review 42 (PG-13) Sports biopics are largely interchangeable. Still, something about the challenges faced by Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) as he broke the color barrier in professional baseball feels so much more singular than your average true tale of successfully bucking the odds. Boseman’s performance is not a skilled mimicry like so many other portrayals of famous persons; he imbues Robinson with such strength of character and composure. AT ANY PRICE (R) The trailer sports a lot of impressive critical quotes, including one from the sorely missed Roger Ebert, but its two minute reduction of this tale of fathers and sons, farmers and race car drivers feels a bit too familiar. Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron star as a farmer and his rebellious, racing son. When a crisis threatens to take everything from this family, their bond is tested more than ever. (Ciné) BEFORE MIDNIGHT (R) Jesse and Celine (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) have come a long ways from 1995’s Before Sunrise. Still not married but with a pair of towheaded twin girls, the couple have given up some dreams in favor of love and reality. Our third glimpse into Jesse and Celine’s lives paints a realistic landscape of adult relationships founded upon love. They care deeply for each other, yet their closeness belies a growing distance. Many viewing pairs will see themselves, arguing and rearguing their own alternatingly petty and weighty complaints. Hawke and Delpy, both credited as co-writers, have grown into and as Jesse and Celine. THE BIG WEDDING (R) The Big Wedding should be celebrated as a strong candidate for worst film of the year. Justin Zackham’s Americanization of France’s Mon frère se marie—in which a long-divorced couple (Diane Keaton and Robert De Niro) must act married for their adopted son’s wedding because the grown man will not tell his devoutly Catholic birth mother (Patricia Rae) that they are divorced—is populated by offensive, meanly unfunny characters differentiated by their virginity or lack thereof. This sinking ship of a movie has nary one likable, nuanced character to grab onto like a life raft. Avoid these nuptials at all costs. • THE BLING RING (R) Sofia Coppola’s fifth feature stylishly

recounts the fascinating real-life story of a gang of privileged L.A. teens that used their Internet savvy to rob the vacant homes of celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom. Rebecca (Katie Chang), Mark (Israel Broussard), Nicki (Emma Watson), Sam (Taissa Farmiga) and Chloe (Claire Julien) steal over $3 million in clothes, jewelry, watches and cash before being caught. The Bling Ring floats a bit in the middle; Coppola has always favored a dreamy bordering on soporific tone. Considering the film’s content, she could have made a stronger statement about our celebrity culture and the state of the modern teenager (and their parenting). Instead, Coppola seems content in merely portraying conspicuous consumption gone wild. Watson has firmly separated herself from her Harry Potter persona. As an actress, she’s come a long way from Sorcerer’s Stone, and unlike the similar turns by former child stars Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers, Watson’s role in Bling Ring feels less like a stunt. She’s simply perfect in the role. This made-for-E!TV movie isn’t Coppola’s cinematic best, but the true life tale is crazy captivating. THE CROODS (PG) The Croods stands out as one of the best non-Pixar animated family films released in the last few years. A family of cavemen— dad Grug (v. Nicolas Cage), mom Ugga (v. Catherine Keener), teen daughter Eep (v. Emma Stone), dumb son Thunk (v. Clarke Duke), feral baby Sandy and grandma (v. Cloris Leachman)—are forced on a cross-country road trip after their cave is destroyed by the impending “end of the world.” Fortunately, Eep meets Guy (v. Ryan Reynolds), whose developed brain filled with “ideas” might just help them all survive. DESPICABLE ME 2 (PG) Now that Gru (v. Steve Carell) is no longer a villain, will this sequel to the surprising 2010 hit work? The former criminal mastermind has been contacted by the Anti-Villain League to assist in capturing the newest big bad. The girls— Margo, Edith and Alice—are still cute, but the Minions better not disappoint, as they have a 2014 spinoff in the works. Featuring the voices of Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Ken Jeong, Russell Brand and Steve Coogan.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 3, 2013

THE EAST (PG-13) Private investigator Sarah Moss (Brit Marling) is assigned to infiltrate an eco-terrorist group who targets large organizations. After convincing them of her sincerity, she begins to find the group’s leader (Alexander Skarsgard) and message appealing. With Ellen Page. (Ciné) FAST & FURIOUS 6 (PG-13) The unlikeliest blockbuster franchise of all-time has enough gas left in the tank for several more entries. Following the international hijinks of Fast 5, Furious 6 puts Dominic “Dom” Toretta (Vin Diesel), Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and the rest on the heels of big bad Shaw (Luke Evans), as they seek to recover Letty (Michele Rodriguez) and attain pardons all around from Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). These movies keep improving under the direction of Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan. It’s arguable that Furious 6 is the best of the high gloss bunch. If a muscle car mag filled with bikini-covered boobs and chrome was adapted into a movie,

Unlike a sillier, lesser comedy, writer Katie Dippold and Bridesmaids director Paul Feig never explain away Ashburn and Mullins’ tough, brash exteriors as shields needed to survive their male dominated profession. Ashburn’s just weird and Mullins grew up with four brothers (Michael Rapaport, Bill Burr, Nate Corddry and, yes, that is Joey McIntyre). The Heat may not be smoking, but after a barren first act, it’s pretty darn funny. KEVIN HART: LET ME EXPLAIN (R) Kevin Hart is one of the more entertaining and, more importantly, least disappointing stand-up comics turned actor. If you missed his return to the stage for the 2012 “Let Me Explain” world tour (and I did), you can now catch his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in this concert film which may or may not have been directed by the Tim Story of Fantastic Four and Barbershop fame. For a warm up to Let Me Explain, you can always check out 2010’s Laugh at My Pain.

The one thing I asked you to get at the store… horses. this flick would be it. This live action comic book sags a little in the talky, plot-driven sections, but gets back on crazy course whenever the gang gets behind the wheel for another ridiculous car chase. FRANCES HA (R) Could this be Greta Gerwig’s big, Lena Dunham-ish break? She co-wrote this comedy with director Noah Baumbach (The Squid & the Whale), and judging from the trailer, it could be an indie smash. Think “Girls” on the big screen (but no Dunham). Frances (Gerwig) works for a dance troupe, though she’s not a dancer, and goes all in for her dreams. With Mickey Sumner, Adam Driver (“Girls”) and another daughter of Meryl Streep, Grace Gummer. (Ciné) • THE HEAT (R) After taking far too long to warm up, this buddy cop comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy hits its stride when it counts. Uptight FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) needs the help of foulmouthed, unpopular Boston cop Shannon Mullins (McCarthy) to take down a dangerous drug lord. Bullock and McCarthy don’t have Fey/Pohler chemistry. The just under two hour comedy needs about 45 minutes for its actors/characters to lose enough of their flaws for the jokes to stick. McCarthy flails too wildly early, while Bullock’s too tightly wound for comedy. Nevertheless, enough cannot be said about how refreshing it is to watch a buddy cop comedy starring two women; “Cagney & Lacey” has been off the damn air since 1988, for crying out loud, and still no campy remake?

m THE LONE RANGER (PG-13) Most of my Lone Ranger memories were formed by the underwhelming The Legend of the Lone Ranger in 1981 (kid-me loved it, especially its accompanying action figures) and reruns of the classic series starring Clayton Moore. That fondness has me excited for the big budget revival of the beloved radio serial starring Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the masked man and Johnny Depp as his partner, Tonto. Gore Verbinski, Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean director, is behind the camera. The trailers show promise. MAN OF STEEL (PG-13) Superman returns (again) with Christopher Nolan tasked to give Supes his Dark(ened) Knight treatment. Then Nolan, writer David S. Goyer and director Zack Snyder realized Superman is an alien and nearly impossible to ground in the real world. Their solution: Treat the material like serious science fiction. The extended time spent with Superman’s birth parents (Russell Crowe rules as father Jor-El) on dying Krypton is the film’s strongest, most original segment. The middle chunk, retelling Kal-El’s transformation from a hunky Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) into Superman, intriguingly tweaks a wellknown origin with the benefit of fatherly wisdom from Kevin Costner’s Jonathan Kent. Despite some well-executed set pieces pitting Superman against fellow Kryptonian General Zod (cast standout Michael Shannon) and his alien army, the final act never fully takes flight. Instead, the blockbuster soars in fits and starts, seeming most confident in

its final frames than the previous hour and a half of repetitive conflict. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G) Cars 2 was a clunker; Brave was good verging on really good but not close to great; and Monsters University lacks the Pixar pop of their undeniably great features (Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3). In this prequel to Monsters, Inc., we learn how Mike (v. Billy Crystal) and Sully (v. John Goodman) met. Apparently, the two scarers didn’t start as best buds. First, they were scaring rivals at Monsters University. This Revenge of the Monster Nerds doesn’t creatively bend college life for monsters as one would expect from Pixar. Fortunately, the animation, especially the creature design, is as lush and lifelike as ever. MUD (PG-13) A coming of age tale set in the disappearing wilds of the small town south, Mud aims high, as director Jeff Nichols attempts to channel Mark Twain, and hits the target square in the bull’s eye. Two teens—Ellis (Tye Sheridan, Tree of Life) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland)—discover a boat in a tree. They also discover Matthew McConaughey’s Mud, a fugitive living in the boat in the tree, while he waits to escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). Mud watches like a work of modern literature, capturing the last gasps of a dying culture as one boy becomes a man. (Ciné) NOW YOU SEE ME (PG-13) Four street magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco) are enlisted in a mysterious, magical plan to do something, but nobody is really sure what until the last reel. Hot on their heels is a dogged FBI Agent, Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), and a debunker of magicians (Morgan Freeman). Now You See Me is as entertaining as it is eye-rollingly contrived. Clash of the Titans’ Louis Leterrier keeps the illusions moving along too fast for anyone to see through the script’s tricks until the woeful reveal. OBLIVION (PG-13) The new Tom Cruise action, sci-fi spectacle is a visual/aural knockout. After fighting off an alien invasion via nuclear destruction, humanity has moved off-planet to Titan, a moon of Saturn. Two people, tech Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) and his communications liaison Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), have been left behind. Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski co-scripted Oblivion from his own graphic novel, and despite its derivative pieces, the whole narrative coheres rather well. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (R) Olympus Has Fallen feels like a relic from the bygone era of the 1980s, where audiences were satisfied by old-fashioned, bloody action movies wherein stone-faced heroes faced off against despicable bad guys without obfuscating their violent exploits with frenetic camerawork. Disgraced Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is the only person in America who can save the President (Aaron Eckhart) after North Korean terrorists take over the White House. With a franchise-worthy new hero and a wellchoreographed, well-shot focus on physical conflict, Olympus Has Fallen kicks butt better than the muscular bulk of recent action movies. OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG) Disney’s latest family blockbuster reveals the wizard’s own cyclonic entry to Oz. Carnival magician and con man

Oscar Diggs (James Franco) meets three witches—Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams)—who believe him to be the great wizard whose appearance in Oz was prophesied. Oz won’t make anyone forget the original, but it doesn’t shame its memory either. THE PURGE (R) In the future, America is a paradise of low unemployment and low crime, all thanks to the Purge instituted by the New Founding Fathers. One night every year, all laws are suspended for twelve hours. During this Purge, any citizen may empty themselves of all the pent-up rage and frustration by doing whatever violence they want. Mostly, the Purge affects the poor. Wealthy families like the Sandins (Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Buckholder and Adelaide Kane) lock themselves behind fancy security systems. But this Purge is different, as the Sandins’ young son lets in a bloody stranger, who is being hunted by a creepy pack of rich kids that want their prey returned to them. Despite the slight bait-and-switch, this flick is a fine example of how to do an exploitation-thriller right—emphasis on tension, intimidation and bloody violence. Audiences expecting more thrills and fewer scares should enjoy this summer changeup. SCARY MOVIE V (PG-13) A Paranormal Activity/Mama mashup provides the frame that is rattily covered by an hour and thirty minutes of puerile, scattershot jokes. Airplane! worked as a spoof of disaster movies that developed its own witty gags. The Scary Movies simply tosses pop culture references and cameos by celebrities who have passed their sell-by date with no real interest in spoofing the genre they allegedly came to spoof. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (PG-13) The second film in J.J. Abrams’ revamped Trek-verse, is the best Star Wars movie since 1983. Don’t think I typed that wrong. The second new Star Trek is the giant, sci-fi, matinee serial that the Star Wars prequels never were. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) leads the crew of the Starship Enterprise after a rogue Federation operative (Benedict Cumberbatch) turns terrorist. Trek has never looked better, been more thrilling or more humanly humorous. Star Trek 2 seems like the luckiest of numbers; this sequel achieves Khan-like greatness. THIS IS THE END (R) This pot-fueled “apoc-comedic” nightmare from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg is far funnier than most meta-comedies starring comic actors as themselves. On the night of James Franco’s housewarming party, the seeming Rapture occurs, leaving behind this band of famous faces (Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel) to survive on a Milky Way and little more. Turning to and on one another, Judgment Day brings out the best, worst and funniest in writers Rogen/Goldberg and their cast. These guys make the day of reckoning a fun one. THE WAY, WAY BACK (PG-13) After winning an Oscar for writing The Descendants, Jim Rash (Dean Pelton on “Community”) and Nat Faxon (the sadly cancelled “Ben and Kate”) reteamed for their directorial debut. This coming of age comedy stars Liam James as Duncan, who negotiates a summer with his mom (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend (Steve Carell) by getting a job at a local water park, where he is befriended by its odd owner (Sam Rockwell). This Sundance favorite looks appealing enough to be summer’s indie breakout hit. • WHITE HOUSE DOWN (PG-13) Much like the summer of 1998 when discussions of July’s Armageddon required mentioned of May’s Deep Impact, a critique of White House Down cannot take place without comparisons

to March’s Olympus Has Fallen. Unlike Armageddon and Deep Impact, two distinctly different movies about an asteroid on its way to Earth, White House and Olympus are nearly interchangeable. In White House, Channing Tatum stars as D.C. cop John Cale, who must protect the President (Jamie Foxx) and rescue his precocious daughter (Joey King) after terrorists take over the White House. Disaster master Roland Emmerich stages the destruction with his usual crowd-pleasing clarity, and the movie, written by The Amazing Spider-Man’s James Vanderbilt, has a sense of humor about it. C-Tates and

Foxx are the appealing duo I prefer to be thrust into the most Die Hard of Die Hard rip-offs. It is kind of hard to hate a summer blockbuster concerned with a constitutional crisis, even if its POTUS fires a rocket launcher. WORLD WAR Z (PG-13) The biggest zombie (and arguably horror) movie EVER MADE is better than expected, judging from its PG-13 rating and tortured production history. Former U.N. employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is sent around the globe to discover the source of the zombie pandemic threatening to wipe out humanity. Onetime Bond director Marc Forster and

his stable of writers (the screenplay’s credited to three writers including The Cabin in the Woods’ Drew Goddard and “Lost�’s Damon Lindelof) turn Max “Son of Mel� Brooks’ oral history of the zombie conflict into a more focused, traditional “one hero must race time to save the world,� and it works. Minor quibbles range from a lack of blood (blame the need for a PG-13 rating to recoup the massive budget) and way too fast, superstrong zombies; still, it’s way more exciting than the second season of “The Walking Dead.� Drew Wheeler

movie pick The Story of Us FRANCES HA (R) They are madly in love. The “theyâ€? being director/co-writer Noah Baumbach (Margot at the Wedding, Greenberg) and the star/co-writer of Frances Ha, the goofy yet oddly magnetic Greta Gerwig. The two first worked together on Greenberg and became a couple after the movie was finished and Baumbach’s marriage to actress Jennifer Jason Leigh was kaput. Normally, this sort of trivia would be irrelevant, but Frances Ha is an open love letter of sorts to his new muse, and the result is splendidly joyous. This is François Truffaut by way of Woody Allen, laced with plenty of mumblecore lo-fi spontaneity. In short, it’s excellent.

made their stock in trade. Gerwig, an actress who can project vulnerability, gawky physicality and kinetic intelligence within a few seconds of screen time, doesn’t really fit that definition here. The construct of the MPDG is purely a male wish-fulfillment fantasy (albeit of a more nerdy, cerebral sort), and though on the surface Frances does adhere to the definition to a large degree due to her impulsiveness, charming inarticulateness and supposed inscrutability, Frances is tellingly removed from other “quirky� versions of this type, because she is not viewed through a male lens. Frances is significantly her own person, and her deviation from other characterizations

Mickey Sumner and Greta Gerwig Baumbach’s body of work, which includes the tender yet quietly devastating The Squid and the Whale, has deftly charted the lives of intelligent though emotionally crippled adults. His work has a light touch, but his insight into his characters and their foibles is honed to a sometimes brutal, uncomfortable degree of honesty. His movies are grounded in the familiar and graced with a bruised humanity, but the humor underlying the drama frequently punctures the warmth with an acidic self-hatred that stings long after the picture is over. His latest movie, about a young woman bopping around in her post-collegiate life looking for some kind of meaning, is his lightest, yet warmly funny, picture yet. Frances Ha has the energy and flighty insouciance of a romantic comedy, though embedded in its story of 27-year-old dancer Frances (Gerwig), as she bounces along in her undirected life, is a gravity of weighted truth. Movies have long traded on the idea of the carefree female spirit, most recently (nauseatingly symbolized) as the so-called “manic pixie dream girl� that actresses such as Kirsten Dunst and Zooey Deschanel have

of this ilk does help elevate the movie to a much richer level. Ultimately, Frances Ha (the origin of the name beautifully, visually articulated in the last scene) is too quick on its feet to mire itself in weighty pronouncements. It is, delightfully so, a romance. But it’s a love story about the fade-out of a female friendship, bullied by the necessities and burdens of change. Mickey Summer, who plays Frances’ more career-directed pal Sophie, is fantastic and really energizes every minute of screen time she gets. Adam Driver (who starred on “Girls�) and Michael Zegen are also good as two of Frances’ male friends. Frances Ha belongs to Gerwig, however, and her modest actor talents are put on brilliant display here. Baumbach is clearly smitten with his star, but it’s Gerwig’s own increasing confidence in her acting and writing that really makes the critical difference. We fall in love with Frances because we’re confronting the story of us. It’s funny and touching because it’s true, regardless of gender. Derek Hill

music

5. “St. Summercamp� by Futurebirds 3. “Sunshine� by Quiet “St. Summercamp� is the sound of days where it’s too hot to function. The slow, dreamy song is perfect for lying on a float, sitting on the porch with a beer or driving aimlessly around. The tune evokes the most carefree days of your childhood, spent “happy as a pile of clams.� It exceeds eight minutes, yet it passes quickly, matching the contradictory pace of summertime. Likewise, the idyllic imagery of the lyrics paired with a somber melody express what it’s like to both experience and then look back on the best season of the year. [Jodi Murphy]

SIDE  A 1. “Summer Heat� by The Whigs

Although The Whigs may have left Athens to put down roots up the road in Nashville, the band’s “Summer Heat,� from last year’s Enjoy the Company, still works as a reminder that there’s no escaping the blazing temperatures in the South. Nevertheless, the song is an inspiration to get out there while the sun is still beaming. Featuring lyrical references to driving around with the windows down and shirtless fist-fights, the tune just doesn’t feel right played during any other season. [Dan Mistich]

2. “Better Alone� by Grass

SIDE  B 4. “Occupation (Demo)� 1. “Cozy Space Mugz� by Green Gerry by Carrie Nations If you keep waking up on the couch at noon, somehow sunburned from the light shining through the window, then let “Cozy Space Mugz� be your anthem. It’s late, you’re dazed, you look around but find “no faces.� Never fear. Play along to the plinking click track—any of the unwashed dishes in your sink will do. You’ll recover enough equilibrium to make it out the door, at least. Step outside, full of promise, Gerry’s insistent voice in your ear: “Ba da ba da ba da ba da.� It only lasts a minute, but it’s enough, and now you’ve got the rest of the day. [Marshall Yarbrough]

Giraffes

I’m not sure where I first heard “Better Alone,� but my best guess is those first chiming guitar notes hit my ears somewhere on Loop 10, because the tune is now inextricably linked in my mind with summer driving. It seems appropriate, since summer always makes me feel weirdly nostalgic for the present. It’s Eddie Whelan’s moody singing on this track that I love most, and while Steven Trimmer is still making great tunes as Glasscrafts, this version of his music seems to have flown the coop when Whelan did the same. So long, Grass Giraffes. We’ll always have summer. [Rachel Bailey]

Athens Summer Songs A Classic City Mixtape

3. “Weather Radio� by Pylon

The funky, indelible Gyrate is a classic summer-inAthens album, mostly because—and don’t tell the kids this—it’s the season when the real fun starts. The streets of downtown, free from UGGs and full of hugs, comprise a veritable townie playground in the warmer months, an open-air party market where folks are free to really let loose. In terms of total population, the Classic City in the summer may be as sparse as the playing on the instrumental “Weather Radio,� but there’s a near-constant party within the negative space. [Gabe Vodicka]

4. “Shine (in Your Mind)� by The Apples in Stereo

Hooves

It’s a weird kind of woman Julian Bozeman loves. She’s got “A heart that ticks like clicking teeth�; she’s got “Skin that bends like purple wine/ Into the rim of a golden glass.� “Sunshine� is all description: three verses, just a quatrain each, the last line pointedly unrhymed. The song plays like a skewed sonnet. Mercer West’s fall-down-the-stairs drumming leads the band into the chorus, languid and lurching all at once. There’s a twinge of violin that hints that the clouds are about to clear, and when they do, the horns pour over you like—well, you know. [MY]

The guitars are loud, the tempo is up and the playing is as sloppy as a drunk cruster: “Occupied� is the sound of a summer Athens house party to a T. For several years during the early aughts, Carrie Nations was at the heart of Athens’ DIY rock scene (they’re reuniting for a show later this month—more on that in this weeks Threats & Promises). But listening back to the group’s early demos, it’s shocking how accessible their music actually was. Like Bob Pollard and Lou Barlow before them, Carrie Nations’ sharp-edged exterior belied their pop core. Sometimes, punks just wanna have fun. [GV]

5. “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea� by Neutral Milk Hotel

Superficially, “Aeroplane� sounds like a summer day spent frolicking through a field. The acoustic guitar, resolute horns and flying-machine singing saw, combined with the lyrics of the first two verses, justify the carelessness that comes with youth. “But, for now, we are young/ Let us lay in the sun/ And count every beautiful thing we can see,� goes the second verse, an excellent suggestion for how to spend a summer day. As the lyrics take a turn for the surreal, the song reflects the season’s inevitable end. [JM]

6. “Nightswimming� by R.E.M.

Not all summer songs are about beaches and pool parties. As the Apples demonstrate on “Shine (in Your Mind),� summer can be a state of mind. Sure, frontman Robert Schneider sings about beauty all around, spotlighted by beaming sun and flourishing nature. But the sunny pop anthem also contends that “Your mind is falling from the trees� and “pouring from the sky.� That is, you can always have a bright, sunny adventure without leaving the comfort of air conditioning. [Bobby Power]

2. “Swim� by The

Glands

Every track on the The Glands’ self-titled 2000 record screams summertime, but with its lush string arrangements and bouncy keyboard lines, “Swim� is especially of the season. Singer Ross Shapiro’s voice has a bright and shining quality throughout, and if the song’s sirenlike opening lines (“I can hear the ocean and it’s calling you to come,� et al) don’t make you want to hop in the nearest body of water to cool off, I don’t know what would. [DM]

Any number of R.E.M. tunes would be fitting inclusions on this mix—�Gardening at Night� and “Cuyahoga� come to mind—but none convey the spirit of summertime in Athens better than the obvious choice. The penultimate track on Automatic For the People is, more explicitly than most of the band’s catalog, the sum of its elements: the plaintive piano, the swelling string arrangement, the repetitive vocal patterns. When Stipe invokes the past and sings “of recklessness and water,� nostalgia washes over like gentle swimming-pool waves. [GV] Hear the mixtape on Flagpole.com.

Ralph Stanley plays the Classic City American Music Fest

T

here’s almost nothing more American than fireworks on the Fourth of July. When Dr. Ralph Stanley comes to the Melting Point on the 237th anniversary of the U.S. declaring its independence from Britain, there may not be any literal explosions, but the old-timer will hit the stage with a bang. The 86-year-old bluegrass pioneer has spent the better part of six decades popularizing traditional American music. Devotees to bluegrass (or “old-time country music,” as Stanley prefers to call it) often speak in metaphysical terms, so it’s no surprise that the famed banjo player follows suit when speaking about his own music, insisting that acoustic instrumentation is a “natural sound.” When questioned about why he has held so tightly to traditional music in his career, the aphoristic Stanley nonchalantly remarks that he’s only playing music the way it’s supposed to be played. Stanley’s reputation as a father of modern bluegrass precedes him. In the late ‘70s, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN. In the new millennium, the Grand Ole Opry celebrated Stanley’s contributions to country music. But although Stanley enjoyed moderate commercial success early in his career, it wasn’t until his involvement in the soundtrack for the Cohen Brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou? that his music earned widespread cultural currency. The story of his involvement in the film sounds like a happy accident. According to Stanley, he was solicited by famed songwriter and producer T-Bone Burnett to be a part of the soundtrack recording sessions. Prior to the sessions, the two knew each other’s work, but hadn’t collaborated. Simply put, songs needed to be recorded, so Burnett hired some guns. When Burnett attempted to conduct the recording sessions with a little too much force, Stanley suggested that he do things his way: his voice a cappella, and nothing else on the track. His ensuing rendition of the traditional “O Death” spoke for itself. Stanley’s work with Burnett also greased the gears for unlikely collaborations and associations with perennial rock giants like Lou Reed and Nick Cave. For the soundtrack to the 2012 film Lawless (for which Cave penned the screenplay), Stanley sang the Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat” while Cave and his band backed him up. An unlikely

choice, maybe, but a few listens through Stanley’s take and the divisions between rock and traditional music begin to blur. While he’s proud of all the work he’s done over the years, Stanley calls his work on those films “a real honor.” When discussing the soundtrack sessions, Stanley explains that the most important thing is that the songs “got out to so many people.” He might not exactly enjoy household-name status as a result, but he’s obviously pleased that his music has become somewhat ubiquitous. Still, the man remains humble in spite of all of his accolades. Rather than reveling in the praise, he still prefers to get out in front of a crowd and play live. He is, of course, no stranger to the festival scene. (“My goodness, how many festivals?” he says with a laugh.) But although he has delighted in playing bigger events like Bonnaroo, Stanley says he prefers to play in familiar environs, like his own eponymous festival, which has taken place the past 44 years just a few miles outside of where he lives in Coburn, VA. The annual event takes place every Memorial Day weekend and features Stanley and other bluegrass giants. Stanley might be the most well-known act performing at the fifth annual Classic City Americana Festival this July 4, but a host of exciting local talent will be joining him. Altcountry outfit Adam Klein & the Wild Fires will get the show started at 4 p.m. on Thursday, and Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys take the stage at 8 p.m. Athens mainstays Packway Handle Band close out the evening with their set at 10 p.m. The Honeycutters, BlueBilly Grit, High Strung String Band, BorderHop Trio and String Theory will perform at various times in between. The full schedule is listed in this week’s Flagpole Calendar. There are many options for how to celebrate your Fourth, but if traditional American music waves your flag, there’s little doubt about where you need to spend the national holiday. Dan Mistich

We Are In Dreams Awake: Derek Almstead’s new project, Faster Circuits, made its live debut last week at Flicker Theater and Bar. The live group consists of Almstead, Emily Growden, Carlton Owens, Chris Herron and AJ Griffin, but the band’s debut album, the years-in-the-making Tunes of Glory, also includes performances by Jeff Tobias, the late Craig Lieske and Andy Gonzales. Almstead is best known for his tenures with The Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, The Glands and Circulatory System, but he’s also a crack studio and live sound engineer. The album was released digitally last week via Cloud Recordings and can be found on iTunes. All the songs were written, recorded and mixed by Almstead, but he enlisted Joel Hatstat to assist him with mastering. Oh, the tunes? A sweet assortment of psych-pop gems that get right into your head. Get on the good foot and grab yours soon. Written In Skin: Former Athens rapper and UGA Law School graduate Trav Williams is one of the subjects of a new documentary, Gideon’s Army, which was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and made its debut on HBO July 1. Williams works as a public defender in Hall County, GA, and Trav Williams is so dedicated to his vocation that he actually tattoos the names of his clients whose cases he has lost on his back. This story has been spread pretty far and wide, but what few others have reminded you of is that Williams released his first mixtape, 2007’s Reparations, at the Caledonia Lounge, that he was a founding member of Athens hip hop collective AthFactor Entertainment (along with Montu Miller, Reggie “Chief Rocka” Sykes and John Vereen) and that you can find all his music at travwilliams.bandcamp.com. Williams’ newest album, P.O.E., was released this past May. Stream it and watch the Gideon’s Army trailer on Flagpole’s music blog, Homedrone (flagpole.com/blogs/ homedrone). For more information on Gideon’s Army, see gideonsarmythefilm.com.

Dancin’ Days Are Here Again: Sometime while I was asleep in the late 1990s, the long-running Athens R&B cover act The Common People Band split into two groups: The Common People Band and The Splitz. Apparently, too many booking requests were coming in for one band to handle, and while I’m no great fan of cover/tribute bands, I’ve always had a soft spot for these guys, for some reason. At any rate, the Melting Point is hosting its second annual Motown Downtown event July 18 and 19. The Splitz play the first night, and The Common People Band plays the second. Tickets for each night, which you can get at meltingpointathens.com, are only $3. More information about the two groups is available at thesplitz.com.

Stay Spicy: Tickets are on sale now to see tunesmith Corey Smith, who will perform at the Classic Center Theatre on Sept. 6. The price points for tickets are $25 and $30, and I can pretty much guarantee you that they will all sell out. I’ve spent a whole lot of ink over the years bagging on Smith’s tunes, and I made a begrudging peace with their existence late last year, so I’m not going down that road again. But I do want to drop the tip that he has a new thumbs-up endorsement from Texas Pete Hot Sauce, which you can check out by surfing to texaspete.com/corey. For tickets, head to classiccenter.com or call 706-

Future Virgins—who release records on Carrie Nations’ former home of Plan-It-X—and Wade Boggs, the ongoing project of the Nations’ Ian McCord. It won’t hurt you a bit to catch this show, as it’s highly unlikely to happen ever again. As an aside, if anyone was taken aback by Muuy Biien’s shenanigans at the Flagpole Athens Music Awards a couple weeks back, just know that when Carrie Nations won the Punk award many years ago, the band sent a group of their friends onstage to impersonate them, because no one in the crowd had any idea what they looked like, anyway. The more things change, well, the more they just totally don’t. This-N-That: Lera Lynn’s fund raising project for her new album, The Avenues, was totally successful, and donors should be enjoying their digital downloads as we speak. The rest of you will have to wait until its speculated winter release, though. Pitch in next time… Premier B-52’s tribute band The B-53’s recently played the Deerhunter-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties at Camber Sands, UK. The three-day event also starred Steve Reich, Pere Ubu, Rhys Chatham and just enough other great artists to spike the envy of most thinking folks. Sure does pay to share a member with Deerhunter these days, doesn’t it, guys? Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com

Foxy Roulette primly appears at Go Bar. The other notion actually occurred to me last year as I heard fireworks and things that weren’t fireworks popping around my neighborhood. As we celebrate our various freedoms, including those guaranteed to us by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, I’m reminded of how responsible gun owners obey laws, not just the laws governing background checks, licenses, registration, and concealed carry but also the law of gravity. Responsible gun owners don’t fire their weapons into the air, because they of course know that what goes up must come down at terminal velocity. As I said, just a thought. Here’s the list of who will be cavorting live for your amusement in July. Wet and Wild: The Athens Showgirl Cabaret, the hardest-working drag ensemble in town, will hold their Second Annual Wet and Wild Drag Show at Go Bar on Friday, July 5. This is a fundraiser to support Atlanta Pride and will consist of the girls doing their usual cavalcade of lip-sync, dance moves, comedy and sass, plus a wet t-shirt contest for girls and a wet underwear contest for guys. I attended last year’s event (no, I didn’t enter the contest— believe me, nobody wants to see that—but I have friends who did and won by lobbying

and raising the most money for the cause), and it was a lot of fun. Doors open at 9 p.m. Admission is $3 at the door. 18+. Hot Drag: Go Bar should just about be finished cleaning up from the drag show by the next night, when Sirens of Sin and BeatmatchedHearts show up to stage the new installment of their popular fetish-electronica extravaganza Insurrection Ball v4: Impetus Rising. This time around featured performer Preya, she of the slinky dance moves and light spanking, will be joined by Atlanta burlesque performer Foxy Roulette. The DJ lineup is also expanded, as DJs Incubus, Lexus Luthor and Lisa welcome Athens’ favorite goth-spinner Trey Ehart. This should be a good night out for the kids who like to wear the black, though I wish godspeed to everyone cinching up in their leather/latex/PVC wear in July. Not being one to suffer for fashion, I’m grateful that formal attire is also acceptable at this event. Doors open at 9 p.m. Saturday, July 6. Admission is $5 at the door. 18+.

Grimm Tales: For those whose tastes run to the more traditional (or don’t—there’s room for everyone at the table), the Circle Ensemble Theatre company will present Into the Woods, the 1986 Tony Award-winning musical and perennial favorite by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, at the Morton Theatre Friday and Saturday, July 12-13. For those who don’t know this show, it’s an atmospheric and often dark mashup of various Grimms fairy tales that follows a couple, cursed with childlessness by a witch, as they quest for the magical mojo items needed to break the spell and encounter legendary characters along the way. Directed by Joelle Re Arp-Dunham, this looks to be a great show and a good excuse to get out of the house and into the Morton. Into the Woods runs at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Tickets are $15, $10 for students, and can be purchased online at www.mortontheatre.com, by phone at 706613-3771, at the box office (open MondayFriday 10 a.m.-1 p.m. and 3 p.m.-6 p.m.) or at the door one hour before the show. Group discounts are available—call for details.

BBQ BEAT: I keep a list of places I need to get to when I have time and there’s nothing more pressing on the schedule. A large percentage of them are either barbecue joints or places in adjoining counties—often both. Scott & BJ’s BBQ (4007 Danielsville Rd., 706-546-1005) has been on that list for a long time, placed on it when it was originally known as Carithers ‘N’ Scott. Doug Carithers, now retired, started the restaurant with Larry Scott, who continues to run it with his wife, Betty, out of a storefront in the Norwood community, right where Ila Road forks off from Danielsville Road. Before that, Carithers had Carithers BBQ on South Milledge. The ‘cue there wasn’t amazing, but a lot of folks had fond feelings toward it, and sometimes when you ordered a BBQ sandwich, it came with some chopped pineapple on top, which was interesting. The motto at Scott & BJ’s is, “Where the Food Speaks for Itself,” and that’s true in that there is very little else speaking for it. The place itself can look abandoned, especially when Betty Scott’s is the only car in the rugged lot. Still, it is a pleasant place, with small booths to the side and a lunch counter right in front when you walk in. Baseball caps, no doubt confiscated from gentlemen in need of a manners lesson, march in a line around the walls. Newspaper clippings about the owners are framed and hung here and there. Your best option if you want to taste as much as possible is to get the sampler, which will run you $18.75, but comes with pork, beef, chicken and ribs, plus two sides. Betty cheerfully retreats out of sight when you place your order, and the heartwarming sounds of a cleaver at work emanate from around the corner. The meat is generally chopped, as that auditory clue should suggest, but it ends up in half-inch cubes rather than the wet mess that can result from overly enthusiastic cleaving. The pork and the chicken are half-hearted efforts, kind of dry and not very exciting, but the ribs are solid: tender but with some bite and smoky, with a nice pink ring. The beef, an afterthought at most Georgia BBQ places, is actually quite good. I imagine it may be even better sliced than cubed, but it was a pleasant surprise. The sides consist of slaw (fine), baked beans, hash, potato salad, collard greens and mac and cheese (a little

undersalted), plus, per the menu, “other vegetables when available”(emphasis theirs). The tea is sweet enough to dissolve your tooth enamel. Scott & BJ’s is open Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. It does to-go orders and takes cash and checks only. HOP, SKIP AND A JUMP: Cozy Yum Yum’s recent move from 179 Jackson St. to 489 E. Clayton St. hasn’t changed things much. The interior is a little less speakeasy-esque now that you don’t have to step down into the restaurant, and has been festooned with posters promoting tourism to Thailand, paper lanterns, fabric and more. The ownership is welcoming and focused on customer service, as always. The food remains problematic. Order something light like what the menu deems “Sea Breeze,” the basic traditional seaweed salad with sesame oil and seeds, and you’ll be happy. It’s no different than what you’ll get anywhere else, apart from being served in a martini glass. The Pad Thai is unremarkable; you should probably ask for it spicy. I had hoped that the imitation chicken that can constitute the protein in almost any dish would be something like that vegetable protein once done so well at Thai of Athens, but it was dark and dank, resembling organ meats in its consistency. The restaurant has a sizable bar and makes any number of cocktails featuring sake. Indeed, the old location remains as purely a bar, although its hours of operation don’t seem to be set yet. WHAT UP?: As reported on Flagpole.com, Five Star Day Cafe has closed, with no word of what might take its space, and Farm 255 will end operations July 19, with Juan and Vanessa Molina, the folks behind Broad Street Coffee, set to take over the lease. It was big news in both cases, but at least Farm offers the opportunity to go have a last meal or two before it shuts its doors. Full Moon Farms, which supplied most of Farm’s produce, will remain, as will the CSA it operates, but not Farm Cart. Farm representative Rachel Bailey said the Molinas are working to try to hire some of Farm 255’s staff. Hillary Brown Gabe Vodicka

As July rolls up on the Classic City and we celebrate 237 years of not being British, a couple of notions spring to mind. One is that somewhere between the pitcher’s mound of potato salad (mustard, not mayonnaise-based, please) on our paper plates and our fifth PBR, we all might consider cracking open or dialing up the Declaration of Independence for a read. It really is a wonderful, radical document that not only ranks up there with “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister as a cry of defiance but also definitively refutes any and all claims that God ordains anyone to rule or claim authority over the rest of us. Pretty heady stuff, that.

It’s a Plane, It’s a Duck… : The kids from Athens Creative Theatre’s 2013 summer camp will perform this year’s production, Brian D. Taylor’s Super Duck, at the Morton on Friday, July 26. The story of a strange visitor from another planet who came to earth in an egg, hatched and grew up to defend us all from the dread machinations of Dr. Tabby Clawslice and Squishy the Worm, this looks to be a lot more fun than I hear Man of Steel was. The campers, aged 8-12, have been working hard on this production, so it should be a great night out for the family. Showtime is 7 p.m. Call 706-613-3771 for ticket information. John G. Nettles

The Athens Cowboy Choir, The Darnell Boys, The Shoal Creek Stranglers, Art Rosenbaum, Orange Twin Family Band Orange Twin Conservation Community · 5 p.m. · $10 On the outskirts of north Athens, at 255 Noketchee Creek Rd., lie 155 acres known collectively as the Orange Twin Conservation Community, a “pedestrian-based ecovillage” that’s home to a cadre (literally to a few; spiritually to many others) of artists, musicians and farmers. The land, 100 acres of which have been put aside in defense against future development, is owned by 23 “shareholders,” who all have a say in what happens to it. And once a year or so, to Athens’ delight, the bucolic site is the setting for a raucous rock show, or some sort of similarly magical happening. Last summer, folks flocked to see Jandek (!); previously, Orange Twin has hosted everyone from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy to Neil Hamburger and Vic Chesnutt and beyond.

The Shoal Creek Stranglers

For this year’s show, Carter explains, campsites are being cleared within an area that was already scheduled to host new artist studios. Showgoers can rent those campsites for an additional $10, a fee that includes breakfast on Thursday. No word on whether the Cowboys will be serving beans and bacon.

Star-Spangled Classic Bishop Park · 6 p.m. · FREE!, $2 (Kids’ Fun Zone) For a relatively small town, Athens’ parks and recreation department provides the city with a near constant variety of free family activities. Residents are especially fond of the annual Fourth of July celebration, the charming StarSpangled Classic, featuring plenty of kids’ activities and fireworks on the expansive green space and play areas of Bishop Park. Kids under 10 can win prizes for their patriotically decorated bikes in the kids’ bike parade at 6 p.m., which also welcomes strollers, wagons and scooters. The Kids’ Fun Zone lasts all night and offers bouncy inflatables, face painting and games, all at $2 per person. Food vendors, live music and, of course, the fireworks at 9:30 p.m. round out the event, a sweet and inexpensive way to celebrate with the community. [Sydney Slotkin] EVENTS | Saturday, July 6

Classic City Rollergirls vs. Dub City Derby Girls Athens Arena · 6 p.m. · $10 (adv.), $12

Richard Hamm

This summer, the concert is an impressive, all-local lineup of country- and folk-minded bands, an evening of music designed to celebrate the setting and the season. Headlining Wednesday’s show is The Athens Cowboy Choir, an all-male group of local vocalists—Nick Gould, James Huggins, Bryan Poole, Joe Rowe, JoJo Glidewell, Matt Yelton, Matt Hudgins and Davey Wrathgabar—who eschew indie rock modernity and choose instead to Classic City perform the traditional songs of the Old West. You read that right. They wear authentic cowboy gear. Some of them sport burly lumberjack beards. It sounds spurious, except these guys are actually goddamn great at it. (They look the part, too—for proof, see this week’s cover.) Art Rosenbaum, the local folk historian and an Orange Twin shareholder, will also perform Wednesday, as will trad-folk Gypsy Farm crew The Shoal Creek Stranglers, blues explorers The Darnell Boys and Orange Twin’s own nebulous Family Band. Before the official concert starts, musician Justin Manglitz will lead an “old-time pickin’ circle” starting at 5 p.m., so make sure you arrive in time to really get in the spirit. (Parking will run you $5, unless your car is full, in which case it’s free.) The infrequency of the Orange Twin shows, so hotly anticipated here in town, stems from necessity, explains Orange Twin’s Laura Carter, who also says she’d like to pick up the pace in the future. “That will be easier as we are able to build more amenities,” she says. “We all work really hard to make these shows happen, and we always focus the impact of a crowd to areas that are slated for clearing for future development, so that as we work hard to prepare for the shows, we’re also multitasking.”

Since its start in 2006, the Classic City Rollergirls team has demonstrated in addition to its good game, a dedicated commitment to the local community. There may be only five or so home bouts per season, but the ladies practice hard year-round to prepare. In the next bout, the CCRG Bad News B’s— debuting several new skaters who joined the league this past January—face off against the Dub City Derby Girls of West Palm Beach, FL. The team has had a record number of league members and skaters this year, and through a recent “SAVE OUR SKIN!” campaign, was finally able to purchase a $30,000 portable skating floor, allowing for even more hard-hitting action under safer conditions. Tickets typically sell out in advance and can be purchased online Rollergirls at www.classiccityrollergirls.com. A percentage of proceeds will benefit AIDS Athens. [Brittany Joyce]

Husband and wife duo Preya and Waylon found a piece of the downtown nightlife missing when they made the move back to Athens from Tampa—a playful, arousing, industrial piece. Once they teamed up with BeatmatchedHearts’ DJ Incubus, Lexus Luthor and DJ Lisa, the thirst was quenched and the fetish performances were back on. This particular incarnation offers electronic and dark wave music by BeatmatchedHearts and Trey Ehart of deathrock band Entertainment, as well as live performances by guest Foxy Roulette and the lovely Preya.

reality check Matters Of The Heart And Loins I have had a casual relationship with two different guys for several months now. I am in my late 20s, I have a job and I’m in a band that tours a lot, so I don’t really find being in a serious relationship realistic most of the time. Both of these guys know that they are not exclusive, but they didn’t know who the other guy was, until last weekend. I was at a party with The Drummer. It was a party for friends of mine who got engaged, and he had met them on a previous occasion, and he wasn’t busy, so it seemed obvious that he would be my date. Then, while we were there, my other casual date guy, The Librarian, showed up with another girl. It was totally hilarious to me, and I waited to see if he would acknowledge me before I introduced the guys to each other. We didn’t say anything, obviously (how would you do that anyway, right?), and the girl he was with had no idea. I was there with another guy, so she thought nothing of it, and we all chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways. I went on as if nothing was happening, and had a great time at the party. The Drummer was a little uncomfortable at first, but eventually he got over it, and everything was fine. The problem came in the next day when I got a call from The Librarian. It was all, “How could you do that?� and “What were you thinking?� He was mad and hurt and jealous and I apparently ruined his whole night. He told the girl who I was after we left, and it ruined her night, too. I told him I was sorry, and that those were my good friends and I had no idea. I also told him that it was his problem that he decided to tell his date who I was, and that I didn’t ruin his date—he did. He got really mad, and called me a bitch and hung up on me. Later, he dropped off some of my stuff (crammed it between the doors at my house in a bag) that was left at his house. Now I’m totally confused. I don’t know what to say, or if I should even say anything. Was I wrong here? I was really not trying to fuck with anyone or hurt anybody’s feelings. I felt like I handled the situation as well as anybody could. I did apologize, but like I said, how could I have known he would be there? It sounds like this guy might be more attached to you than you are to him. Of course the situation was awkward, and even if he didn’t find the humor in it, he certainly doesn’t have any reason to be pissed. In fact, it sounds like he ruined his own date over this, which is a bummer. If I were you, I would break it off with him right away. Tell him you’re sorry, that you didn’t mean to hurt

him, and walk away. There’s no way this gets better from here. I have a problem. I work with a smallish group of really nice and fun people. We are all between 25 and 35, very social, and hang out outside work a lot. Basically, it’s a small company that is very much like family. The problem is that I think my boss’s wife is hitting on me. She is great, and super hot, and if she was single, I would ask her out in a heartbeat. But obviously she isn’t, so it’s not even a question. My boss is a great guy and a good friend and mentor. He has helped me advance my career, and I can never repay him. So we were all at their house for a cookout last month. She had a few drinks, and she kind of kept brushing up against me and touching my arm when she talked to me. I never gave it a second thought, because I have known them for a couple of years and she has always been friendly. Then she came by the office a couple weeks ago to go to lunch with the boss, and she spent a lot of time with me before she even told him she was there. She bent over my desk, and because of what she was wearing I could (if I wanted to) see all the way down her shirt. She came around behind my desk to “show me� something on my computer, and then she was practically sitting in my lap. I am really nervous and uncomfortable around her now, and I don’t know what to do. I can’t really tell her to stop it, because technically, she hasn’t done anything. I even wonder if she is doing it on purpose sometimes, or if this is my imagination. What should I do? Should I say anything? She is like 10 years older than me, and I find her totally intimidating. Please help. Cornered I find it hard to believe that she isn’t aware of what she is doing. Whether or not she actually intends to do anything is another question, but either way, her flirting sounds pretty over-the-top. If you had a crush on her, I might ask you if this could be wishful thinking, but if you are this uncomfortable, it is obviously a problem. You have to be careful how you handle this, or you might ruin your relationship with your boss, or worse, lose your job. I think the best thing is to start by keeping your distance from her and acting completely oblivious. Go out of your way to avoid being alone with her, and the next time she gets behind your desk, get up and move. As long as you don’t show any reaction, she will probably get bored and move on. If not, feel free to write me back. Sorry, that’s all I’ve got. Good luck. Jyl Inov
