Every school child around here used to learn that World War I poem, written by a Canadian medical officer in Belgium, just before he succumbed to pneumonia during the war. They also knew that red poppies were the symbol of remembrance for veterans and that Moina Michael was the “Poppy Lady,� who pushed the sale of paper poppies into a world-class fundraiser for disabled veterans. Now, even in Athens, where she went to school at Lucy Cobb Institute and the University of Georgia— where she also taught—Moina Michael is no more remembered than those who sleep in Flanders Fields.

This collective memory loss astounds Stephen Mulqueen, a prolific and energetic New Zealand sculptor who recently visited Athens on a Fulbright Fellowship. He is researching the international movement that has made the poppy into a worldwide symbol, with significant monuments in Belgium, Ireland, England, Canada and other countries. Mulqueen cannot believe that nothing in Athens commemorates Michael, who was born in nearby Good Hope and is buried in a Monroe cemetery. (It’s true that we used to have Moina Michael Auditorium, where Heyward Allen Motors is, and the road to Monroe is named the Moina Michael Highway, but nobody knows why.)

More than a decade ago, on a visit to a cemetery Mulqueen in his temporary studio. outside Ypres, Belgium, where New Zealander soldiers were massacred during a World War I battle, Mulqueen noticed the poppies growing and began fashioning brass poppies from WW I and II shell casings. That “epiphany� began his passionate pursuit of the origins of the poppy as a reminder of war and led to his sojourn here in Athens, where the art department lent him a studio while he attempted to re-awaken in our community some understanding of what our once-famous forebear accomplished.

Since the centennial of World War I runs from 2014–2018, Mulqueen believes this is a particularly auspicious time for Athens to rediscover the Poppy Lady and provide an appropriate commemoration that will restore to her the recognition she deserves and also include Athens among the focal points in the internaMulqueen fashions poppy brooches tional remembrance of The from shell casings.

War to End All Wars. “On my recent travels to Ireland, UK, Belgium and Canada‌ the questions I have faced again and again, as I have presented and talked about my practice and research, about the brass cartridge poppies and my homage to the memory of Michael, is, ‘What has happened to her memory? Where is Moina Belle Michael?’â€?

While here, Mulqueen worked to contact people in Athens who may be able to jumpstart locally a renewed interest in our once-famous citizen of the world, perhaps eventuating in an appropriate memorial. “My feeling is that the international community will come and engage with great curiosity, with inquiry about her life and contribution,� Mulqueen says. “They will come to her native landscape in ways not seen before.�

CED will compile a final report in the coming months and turn it over to City Hall, Cassity said. Then the question becomes, where will we find the money?

Firehall Furor: Is another fight over the Classic Center brewing? The Athens Convention and Visitors Bureau is planning on converting the first floor of the old firehall—saved entrance off Hawthorne Avenue, redesigned by historic preservationists in the early basketball courts, workout stations and a new 1990s, when city officials were considering a multipurpose field in the park’s northwest monstrous, modernist design for the Classic corner, while retaining the present ball fields.

Bishop Park: Bishop Park is popular. But like the jock who just wants to dance, man, it’s having an identity crisis.

UGA College of Environment and Design students took input from 1,200 people, both online and in person, for a master plan for Bishop Park. What they found is a somewhat schizophrenic group of patrons— �overwhelmingly� women who drive to the park, with a smaller set of people who live within one mile and walk or bike. Some go for “passive� activities like shopping at the farmers’ market; others for “active� things like organized softball. “We knew we were looking at two groups of people,� Pratt Cassity, director of public service and outreach for the CED, said at a recent public forum.

The data shows that Bishop Park “lacks a unified identity,� Cassity said. “We really thought about the process of branding and giving the park an identity,� he said.

What should that identity be? The CED team prepared three options. The “passive� option, focusing on individuals and small groups, would include new trails on the park’s southern end, swings and hammocks for adults, a labyrinth garden and additional greenspace. The “active� option, focusing on team sports, would include a new vehicular

Normaltown Parking: There’s been some confusion about a Tuesday, Nov. 4 ACC Commission vote regarding adding about 30 Normaltown and Five Points streets to AthensClarke County’s residential parking program.

(It appeared at press time that the measure would pass easily.)

Under the residential parking program, residents on streets where high numbers of University of Georgia students park to avoid on-campus fees can obtain hang tags for their cars, and others are not allowed to park there between 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Commissioners want to expand the program, because some residents near the Health Sciences Campus are complaining that students have started taking up curbside parking in Normaltown.

An Athens Banner-Herald article gave the impression that approval means that residents of those streets would need to buy hang tags. They don’t. They’re merely eligible for the program, and 65 percent of homeowners must agree to it before a street can enter the program.

capitol impact A Foregone Conclusion There were many predictions being made by pundits, analysts and journalists in the weeks before election day. Even before a single vote was counted, I could make at least one prediction that would be accurate no matter what happened at the ballot box: Republicans would retain control of Georgia’s General Assembly and congressional delegation. That was as sure a bet as you could make.

Republicans were certain to win 92 seats in the state House for the simple reason that no Democratic candidates qualified in any of those districts. That gave the GOP a majority of the 180 House seats right there. There were 54 House seats held by Democrats where no Republican candidates qualified to run, so those winners were also known in advance.

Let’s stop and think about the ramifications of those numbers. We knew the winners of 146 House seats months before election day because only one party bothered to put up a candidate. In just over 81 percent of the House districts, the voters didn’t have to bother with making a decision about who their lawmaker would be.

The situation was similar in the Georgia Senate. There were 26 Senate districts where no Democrat was running against the GOP and 15 seats held by Democrats where no Republican qualified to run. In more than 73 percent of the Senate’s 56 districts, the winner was known well before election day. Unless there was an upset more astonishing than Florida’s victory over Georgia in football, the Senate lineup would continue to be 38 Republicans and 18 Democrats.

It was the same story in the races for the U.S. House, where you knew who the winners in 13 of the 14 districts would be prior to Nov. 4. The only contest with any suspense was the 12th District battle between Rep. John Barrow and Rick Allen.

This lack of competition happened largely because of the redistricting conducted by the

Legislature in 2011. Republicans controlled the process and redrew the lines to pack as many Democrats as possible into as few districts as possible, while drawing the maximum number of districts with safe GOP majorities.

That is how the redistricting game is played, of course, regardless of which party has control. But it means that the outcomes of most legislative and congressional elections were known far in advance of Nov. 4.

I’ve made the point in this space before, but it’s worth making again: Georgia’s voters and taxpayers would be better served if there was true competition between the two parties for more elective offices. When only one candidate is on the ballot, voters are shut off from the consideration of any new ideas on the important issues. There is nothing up for debate, because the candidates know they’re going to win no matter what.

What you hear is the same tired rhetoric every election cycle.

A competitive, two-party system also helps keep elected politicians honest. If an officeholder knows that he or she is going to have vigorous opposition at the next election, they are less inclined to put their hands in the public till.

It’s not a foolproof guarantee, of course. Human nature being what it is, some politicians will give in to the temptation to enrich themselves at the public expense. If you have a competitive political system, however, there is at least a chance that the opposition will expose this misbehavior.

Competition also makes an election more entertaining. It would have been amusing, for example, if someone had run against U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson in the general election and forced him to explain just why he thinks the island of Guam would tip over if one more American soldier were stationed there. With no competition, we’ll never find out.

Push for a Plastic Bag Fee Picks Up I

bags, because our customers and our employees are dedicated to saving the environment.�

This isn’t the first time a bag fee has been proposed; various commissioners have been bringing it up for years. In 2009, a solid waste task force led by commissioners Doug Lowry and Kelly Girtz suggested a fee of 10 cents, with three cents going to the retailer and seven to county waste-reduction projects. But logistical challenges meant that nothing came to fruition. The city would have to decide how many bags to include in the ordinance. Most proponents are willing to limit the fee to just grocery bags, but there is also the question of film plastics found at dry cleaners and the mall.

If Athens passes an ordinance, it will be the first county in Georgia to do so. But while some foresee a simple-to-implement fee, there is uncertainty about how it would be treated under state law. “It’s obviously a tax,� Lowry says. “We can’t just put taxes on things anytime we like. That all has to be approved by the state. So I don’t know where that’s gonna really end up.�

Another consideration is how a bag fee might affect Athens-Clarke County’s relations with businesses in Oconee County. “Some of the logistical challenges are trying to figure out the degree to which we would need to coordinate with surrounding counties,� Girtz says.

And no one wants the measure to be onerous for financially disadvantaged Athenians—the reason Mayor Nancy Denson gave when she objected to Tim Denson’s idea for a bag fee during the May mayoral race. An exception could be provided for EBT (food stamp) recipients or the WIC nutrition program for mothers and babies, but that might not be the most realistic soluThe retailers themselves may not even mind folks tion. “We might consider waiving the fee for them, but using fewer plastic bags; it’s not like they’re making that would be quite an administrative burden for everybody,� Commissioner Jerry NeSmith says. money from them now. In fact, says Bell’s Food Store general manager Jenny Smith, the customers would Girtz says it might be easiest for the government to supply reusable bags ahead of time, preparing everyone probably care more than the grocery stores. A lot of John Epps fills a shopping cart full of groceries in plastic bags at Bell’s Food Store on them already use reusable bags, though. for the change. He suggests using schools as a conduit Hawthorne Avenue.

Decreasing plastic waste “would definitely be a good for waste-reduction education and bag distribution. “Getting lots of bags into the hands of people in advance is thing,� Smith says. “I think that it would also create a lot of Earth Fare, says store manager Philip McWhirter, only offers complaints from customers, but I think they would eventually paper bags and reused boxes to its patrons, and has never going to be critical,� he says.

two or three buggies—that would be a lot of reusable grocery bags. So I’m sure that they won’t be too happy about it.�

David Schick

t’s no secret that plastic bags are, well, terrible. They’re made from nonrenewable petroleum; they’re non-biodegradable, and they take up valuable space in landfills. They kill sea turtles, clog drains and fly off garbage trucks to settle in tree canopies and water sources for eternity.

In fact, the little buggers are so sinister that Bangladesh banned them in 2002 after they were the main drain-clogging culprit in its massive 1988 and 1998 floods. Italy, Rwanda, Hong Kong and Mexico City all have similar bans, and so do a myriad of American cities, including Chicago, Portland, OR, Seattle and Boulder, CO. In fact, in September, California passed the first statewide ban in the U.S. But while effective, bans are difficult to implement. So, concerned citizens are discussing something a little more feasible for Athens: a legally mandated plastic bag fee. Basically, grocery shoppers would pay a few cents for each disposable plastic bag they used at checkout. The idea is to encourage patrons to bring their own reusable bags and thus reduce film plastic waste on the part of shoppers and retailers. “Those bags cost the retail establishment money to supply them to customers,� says Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Jared Bailey. “So if there’s a way to limit their use, it would be good for the environment but also would save money for these retailers and also save oil. We could be utilizing that oil for another purpose, or just using less oil in the United States.�

support. In fact, an entire organization now exists to combat bag-shaped plastic waste. Bag the Bag UGA has been fighting this fight since 2012, installing bag recycling bins on campus, offering educational programming, hosting community cleanups and advocating for legislative change.

Bag the Bag members attended the Oct. 8 Mayor and Commission meeting to present their ideas on plastic bag waste reduction, and legislative head Landon Bubb says their presence will continue in the coming months. The group spent time in work session meetings last semester and says it hopes to finally see some action in the spring, once the commission has reset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep going, at least have one or two people speak at each meeting and encourage the commissioners,â&#x20AC;?

Bubb says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really pushing toward collecting petition signatures and business support by January.â&#x20AC;?

Bag the Bag has based its legislation proposals on the fee passed in Washington, D.C. in 2010. The capital city charges five cents per bag, with a portion going to the business and the rest to community projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first six months saw a 60 percent reduction of plastic bag use,â&#x20AC;? Bubb says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So even five cents, people just start bringing the reusable bags.â&#x20AC;?

Whatever the commission doesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;decide, changes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much more extended timeline on some of these activities than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to see,â&#x20AC;? Girtz says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly a proponent of having a clear timeline with a strong education in bag reuse or a reusable bag distribution program prior to implementation of the fee. So I could imagine something like a year in which we make an enormous push, get bags into the hands of everybody possible and then implement the fee.â&#x20AC;?

But some are confident that in the face of mounting pollution, greater social awareness and increased community pressure, somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to give. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of whether local governments should put measures in place to discourage use of plastic bags, but a question of when they will do so,â&#x20AC;? NeSmith says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to see if Athens has the courage to be the first.â&#x20AC;?

Reduce, Reuseâ&#x20AC;Ś Recycle?

For now, ecologically minded shoppers can reduce their waste by recycling film plastic in the proper places (the designated bins at your chosen grocer), and by shopping with their own reusable bags. Sturdy options are available for a buck or two in the checkout line, and ACC Recycling gives them away for free.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that the bags arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recyclable; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just difficult to recycle. Disposable grocery bags are made of film plastic, which forms everything from Ziploc bags to toilet paper packaging and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t processable in ordinary recycling facilities. So, although these bags can be recycled if you put them in the right bins, they cause a lot of trouble when well-intentioned people toss them into the wrong ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made to stretch,â&#x20AC;? says Suki Janssen, waste reduction administrator for the ACC Solid Waste Department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can wrap around conveyor belts and screens. They probably cost less than a penny to make, and they can break a piece of equipment that costs thousands of dollars to fix.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, the company that buys bags from the recycling facility is more particular about the crinkly carriers than a typical plastics-buyer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want really clean film plastic,â&#x20AC;?

Janssen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for us to sell bags, they have to be pretty pristine, they have to come in separately, and they have to be free of water, food and other debris. So we do recycle bags, but unfortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as convenient as recycling other materials.â&#x20AC;?

Bag issues aside, Athens recycles a lot. Since switching to single-stream recycling in 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the reason people no longer have to separate plastics, metal and glass from paperâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the volume has already surpassed the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for 40-percent waste diversion by 2015, with only a 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8 percent contamination rate at the recycling facility.

Future goals include a 75 percent waste-diversion rate, county-wide composting initiatives and construction waste cleanup. But right now, Janssen says, we need to do a better job of recycling the right way. That means no food, no soggy cardboardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and no bags. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the work revolves around getting organics out of the waste stream and getting people to recycle better,â&#x20AC;?

Janssen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are doing overall a great job of recycling in Athens, but they tend to do things like put things that are incorrectâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like bagsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;into the recycling stream, which only hurts us and not helps us.â&#x20AC;?

How I Survived the 13.1 Mile Road Run

W

ell, it’s finally over. I have trained for and completed my first half marathon. What a long, often grueling and occasionally rewarding 10 weeks.

The exciting news is that I finished way faster than I predicted—two hours and 26 minutes, to be exact—and I actually enjoyed the race, which I only “half” expected to. I anticipated my finish time being about three hours, considering that my longest run of 9.17 miles took me about two hours and fifteen minutes, but that race-day adrenaline is no joke.

Now that it’s over, let me tell you a little bit about what’s happened since my article was published [Oct. 15] and explain how race day went down. The last couple weeks of training were really rough, and I’m not exaggerating. I think I was running maybe twice a week. There were days where I just didn’t feel like running, so I didn’t; I was sick of it and ready for this to be over. A couple times when I did run, I had some really bad performances that made me nervous for the big race. I felt resigned to whatever fate that day would hold.

At the Expo the day before the race, I got a little panicky. I overheard people talking about times they wanted to beat, and everyone just seemed to have it together, when I so clearly did not. I had planned to do all of these things to prepare (advanced things, like drinking water), but didn’t do any of them and just stayed in bed all day watching “Twin Peaks.” I was also really nervous about what to wear, because I knew the morning was going to be cold, and I don’t have drawers full of all-weather running gear. So after asking some employees and receiving mostly vague, minimally helpful advice, I decided on a dry-fit short-sleeve shirt. I also bought some running sleeves and a new iPhone armband, too, so my anxiety translated to my spending $60 in last-minute preparation. It was worth it, though—I was very pleased with my outfit during the race.

When I drove into town the morning of the AthFest half marathon, my first thought was, “I can’t believe that this many people willingly signed up to do this.” It was packed.

Fairly soon after, the reason started to reveal itself. The atmosphere was electric: Everyone was jittery with excitement, warming up with running buddies next to their corrals, and “Super Bass” was playing. Just being there was fun. Although I definitely would not have waked up for that if I wasn’t running. No way.

So early. You people are crazy.

Here’s a sampling of my thoughts during the race:

8

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 5, 2014

“It’s amazing to me that people can think about this as an actual race. For me, it’s a lot more like a test of how much I hate myself.”

“Damn, she runs like a fucking gazelle.”

“Ew, did he just spit over there? Yup.” “Such cute children and dogs. Thanks for standing here to watch me run. It really helps.

And yes I will gladly touch your poster for more power. Thanks for the power.”

“I really nailed the outfit. Good job me.”

“Why so much spitting?”

“Wow, it’s been seven miles, and I haven’t walked yet. Maybe I can do this whole thing without walking! YEAH!!”

“Wait, no.”

“Dat ass.”

“Definitely wanna beat this girl with the super flashy leggings.”

“How does anyone ever run more than a half marathon? I do not understand.”

“No, no, no, no. Was that a farmer’s blow?

Let’s go back to spitting.”

“Bless you, man dressed like bacon.”

“Man my legs are so heavy. New goal, try not to trip over self.”

Yeah, no deep thoughts or anything during the race. In other exciting news, I ran about eight and a half miles before I walked at all, and I’m really proud of myself for that. This happened mostly because I was scared that if I stopped I wouldn’t be able to start again.

The last three miles were truly hell. HELL. I was in a lot of pain by that point. The playlist my boyfriend helped me make the night before was key during this time, because I was picturing myself dancing at Little Kings to escape my aching legs. But I ran the whole last mile, and the final bit being around Sanford Stadium was really special. Got to be on the Jumbotron, no biggie.

I was bedridden the rest of the day. So much pain. No way this amount of pain is normal, but I’m afraid to look it up.

All in all, the race was a good experience, and I am definitely considering doing it again in the future when I have a bit more time to dedicate to training. I really Half-Athed it there at the end. I feel it was a sentimental and empowering way to round out my time in Athens, and when I move to NYC next month, I will definitely remember with fondness running around this beautiful city. Thanks everyone who supported me on the race day and throughout the process, and thanks for letting me tell you about it.

Now, nobody talk to me about running for at least a year.

Half-Athed

theater roundup Gatsby, Frankenstein, Dracula and Ballyhoo!

There’s an unexpected part of the production of The Great Gatsby that brings the audience from the Twenties into the present in a surprising and risky way: The back half of the audience is not just allowed but invited to keep their cell phones on (but silent) during the performance to receive C. Adron Farris III

The Great Gatsby University Theatre’s production of The Great Gatsby is Nick Carraway’s memory of time spent socializing above his means, but not above his pedigree, among the rich and lively on Long Island during the Roaring Twenties. Gil Eplan Frankel, who has demonstrated a great combination of intellect and presence onstage, is a great choice for Carraway.

His neighbor is the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, host of the best parties in town. Jeofry Wages sacrificed his long, flowing locks for the role and instantly looked the perfect Gatsby—with that hint of vulnerability to augment the character’s charm. Gatsby is pining for Carraway’s aristocratic—and already married—cousin Daisy, played by Emerald Toller, who played a delightful Elizabeth Bennett in the hit Pride and Prejudice last November. She has a look that seems to belong in another time or in a famous portrait in a museum—but she also has the solid acting chops to prove she’s not just another pretty face. Add Brooke Owens’ witty charm as friend Jordan Baker, Amy Levin’s amazing versatility as Meyer Wolfshiem and Sean Smith’s ability to add dimension to the boorish jock, Tom Buchanan, plus new talent Brooke Pulaski as Myrtle Wilson and Marquee Ivory as George Wilson, along with a strong ensemble, and you have a group of characters you can’t wait to meet.

You might also be excited about the costumes and set, since this show and the space (the big, historic, Fine Arts Theatre) call for over-the-top design. Director/professor T. Anthony Marotta is excited about the stage adaptation by Simon Levy. “It’s a very theatricalized telling of a large novel,” he says, “really adapted to the medium we’re telling it in.”

He also has a lot of praise of his design team for rising to the challenge: Michelle Gersten (set), Jordan Jaked (costumes), Sean Saari (lights) and John Kundert-Gibbs (sound). The costumes, which move from misty shades to vivid color as Carraway’s memories become more vibrant, are backed up with meticulous research on the time period. The set includes a grand staircase that lights up; Marotta notes with enthusiasm: “It’s very Follies—the stairs light up individually!” He adds, “This production is as close as you can get to a musical, without it’s being a musical: grand costumes and set, with four big dance scenes.” The cast has had particular fun working on those dance scenes, he says, and, “You see them dance, and you want to get up there and dance with them.”

The audience for the Friday, Nov. 7 performance will have the opportunity to do just that at a free “Party With Gatsby” after the show: You get a live jazz combo and vocal group, dancing (the UGA Ballroom Performance Group will show off on the dance floor) and hors d’oeuvres by Speakeasy. Perno’s Formalwear has a Gatsby tux rental special for the night; attendees are encouraged to wear formal or cocktail attire.

Jeofry Wages as Jay Gatsby and Emerald Toller as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. occasional supplemental material via text and tweet. However, those who abhor the very idea are promised a technologyfree seating area in the first several rows. At the very least, everyone should check out the at-times hilarious @GatsbyUGA tweets leading up to the show. “It’s part of the glitz,” Marotta says. He expresses hopes that this will not be an annoyance for those who hate phones in theaters, since this will be going on

Fright Night: Dracula and Frankenstein UGA theater majors must never sleep. Fresh out of performing in Hedda Gabler, theater majors Ali Olhausen and Thaddeus Abbot are directing the Thalian Blackfriars production Fright Night: Dracula and Frankenstein in the Cellar Theatre Nov. 10–11 during the UGA Spotlight on the Arts Festival.

Working on a shoestring budget with an all-UGA student team, they hope to bring these potentially tech-heavy horror tales to the stage through inventive designers. Angel Borden (set), brings her scenic painting skills and is also using reclaimed materials to build the set, which, according to Olhausen, “is great, because part of our concept is the natural overtaking the man-made.” Kayla Edwards is doing makeup, working closely with Arleshea Wright on costumes and Amy Levin, who the directors call their “mistress of gore and sound.” They’re fortunate also to have Will Pieper, the mastermind behind the amazing lighting design of Town and Gown Players’ Rent. Olhausen says, “He’s come up a lot of ways to create depth and illusions with light that also saves money on paint.”

It’s not a scary thriller play, however, Olhausen warns. “It doesn’t cause that kind of pop-up scare. It’s more about the ideas behind these stories and the questions about humanity: What makes a man a monster? What is salvation, who deserves it, can you earn it.” Abbott adds, “It’s more about the monsters we create in our heads.”

Fright Night: Bram Stoker’s Dracula, adapted by Don Fleming, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, adapted by R.N. Sandberg— Cellar Theatre November 10–11 at 8 p.m. Tickets $5 at the door.

The Last Night of Ballyhoo UGA Department of Theatre and Film Studies is presenting a staged reading of The Last Night of Ballyhoo, by Tony/Academy/Pulitzer-winning playwright Alfred Uhry at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, in the auditorium of the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries during Spotlight on the Arts. Best known for Driving Miss Daisy, Uhry is being inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame and will participate in a panel discussion after the reading.

The cast includes UGA Theatre and Film Studies professors George Contini and Kristin Kundert-Gibbs, PhD theatre student (and producing artistic director of Circle Ensemble Theatre) Joelle Re’ Arp-Dunham and UGA theatre majors Amy Levin, Gil Eplan-Frankel, Julianne Whitehead and Sean Smith.

The Last Night of Ballyhoo (reading), by Alfred Uhry, Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries auditorium, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. Free, but registration is requested at gail.uga.edu/ events/libs/gwhof-2014, lnessel@uga.edu or 706-542-3879.

NIGHTCRAWLER (R) Nightcrawler reminded me why I like to go to the movies. A throwback to the sleazy cinema of William Friedkin and Brian De Palma, Nightcrawler follows Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal), a very strange dude searching for a career.

After witnessing a couple of guys (led by a brah-tastic Bill Paxton) filming a car accident, Lou, as everyone calls him despite his preference for Louis, buys a camera and starts searching Los Angeles for the kind of bloody criminal activity a low-rated television news channel will buy. Lou isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite a people-person, but he does forge a strange relationship with KWLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graveyard-shift news director, Nina Romina (Rene Russo), through his penchant for getting the ungettable shot that also happens to be immoral and probably illegal. The film is exhilaratingly dirty as Lou crawls from carjacking to car accident, while the line between observer and participant blurs.

The Bourne Legacy writer Dan Gilroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directorial debut recalls Michael Mann at his best, only missing the blue-lit nights. And a good car chase always brings The French Connection and Friedkin to mind. Too bad Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tabloidish Nightcrawler wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the awards love that his brother Tony got for Michael Collins; at best, Gyllenhaal will be a buzzed-about dark horse (though in a perfect world, Paxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tiny gem of dudishness would not go unrewarded).

Gyllenhaal plays an excellent weirdo, and Lou Bloom has the potential to join the all-time creep list. The actor adopts a noticeably odd walking postureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his arms hanging stiff at his sidesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and a too-intense grin. But in spite of his physical eccentricity, sociopath Louâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most off-putting characteristic is his frightening lack of empathy for the unfortunate victims he films. He sees dollar signs, not people. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a darkly cool film if you see Nightcrawler.

[Drew Wheeler] ST. VINCENT (PG-13) Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing in St. Vincent that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in movies or television numerous times before. Old, grouchy bastard named Vincent, this time around played by Bill Murray, spends his days and nights mostly boozing, gambling, chainsmoking and attempting to hide from loan sharks. He also likes to while away the time with a pregnant Russian prostitute (Naomi Watts), who genuinely seems to care for him.

But Vincentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life takes a dramatic turn when single mom Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her 12-year-old son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move in next door. Vincent and Oliver become friends. The grizzled old man teaches the wide-eyed boy about alcohol, gambling, strippers and standing up for yourself. The boy teaches the old guy about trust and responsibility.

First-time writer/director Theodore Melfi is not interested in overturning clichĂŠs or undermining stereotypes. But St. Vincent does have something very special going for it: Bill Murray. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been years since Murray has made a full-on comedy, so his return is great to watch. The deadpan delivery, wise eyes and bad attitude are on full display throughout the movie. But what Murray also brings to the role is his old sense of silliness. He has been better in much better movies (Lost in Translation, Broken Flowers, Groundhog Day), but he delivers the goods here.

McCarthy, downplaying her over-the-top screen persona in movies such as Bridesmaids and Tammy, is refreshing, though underwhelming. The completely thankless role, however, unfortunately goes to Watts. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good in it (check out that accent!), but her character is

a clichĂŠd one, proof that Hollywood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clue what to do with actresses in their 40s and older. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame. Young Lieberher and the always dependable Irish comedic actor Chris Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dowd (who plays a helpful, kindhearted priest) fare much better.

St. Vincent lacks originality. But it is reliably funny and entertaining in its unambitious way. Sometimes, especially if Bill Murray is involved, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough. [Derek Hill]

The Conjuring director James Wan need not be ashamed of his first movie, even if Saw IIâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;IV helmer Darren Lynn Bousman deserves most of the credit for the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability.

Wan whiffs on a few shots one has to believe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d film differentlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and more artfullyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as a 10-year vet, and what looked stylish in 2004â&#x20AC;&#x201D;remember those fast cuts during the trap sequencesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;looks aged in 2014. Still, Wan fearlessly went for it, though one might be surprised to find Saw is more grotesque than gory; the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Vincent gornographic reputation is informed more by its sequels.

As a franchise, Sawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lasting legacy can be attributed to the most recognizable horror actor since Robert Englund. Large and strange looking (think Tom Noonan), Tobin Bell imbues Jigsaw with intelligence and morality, yet not quite insanity (though Jiggy is beyond crazy). Most slashers lack any sort of relatability, a trait John Kramer has in spades. Not Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be your Uber driver. that anyone knew that in the original; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubtful even screenwriter SAW (10th Anniversary) (R) The most sucWhannel knew.

UGA Arts Council

Presents Nine-Day Fest

R

anging from art tours, theater productions, author readings, dance recitals, film screenings and live music performances, the third annual Spotlight on the Arts festival presents over 60 events sponsored by the UGA Arts Council, in addition to another two dozen student-organized events.

Scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 6–Friday, Nov. 14, the nine-day festival showcases the magnitude and quality of arts programming on the UGA campus. In addition to the performances found in Theatre Roundup on p. 9 and the Slingshot Concert on College Square featuring an orchestrated performance of Big Star’s Third album, presented by the UGA Willson Center for Humanties and Arts and UGA Music Business Program (see p. 12), here are a handful of the festival’s highlights.

Hansel & Gretel: As part of the 2nd Thursday Scholarship Series, the UGA Opera Theatre performs Hansel and Gretel, the best-known work of 19th century composer Engelbert Humperdinck. Popularized by the Brothers Grimm, the timeless German fairy tale follows a brother and sister who are abandoned in a foreboding forest and must outwit a cannibalistic witch who has lured them into her gingerbread house. Under the direction of Frederick Burchinal, the opera will be sung in English, using a unique libretto that draws upon several translations. Truly a collaborative effort, the production also features the Georgia Children’s Chorus, UGA Ballet Ensemble and UGA Symphony Orchestra. Hansel and Gretel will be performed Wednesday, Nov. 5–Friday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Hodgson Concert Hall. Tickets are $5 for students and $18 for the general public.

Iron Horse: For the anniversary of one of UGA’s most iconic sculptures, “Abbott Pattison: Celebrating 60 Years of the of the Iron Horse” honors the 10-foot-high, two-ton modernist horse with a documentary screening and reception. The stylized horse was originally installed in front of Reed Hall in 1954; however students rioted over its placement after hearing that Pattison had made disparaging remarks about UGA. The horse was vandalized—spray-painted, covered in manure, even burned by a bonfire—and was removed by officials the next day. After several years at a secret storage site, the horse was set to private pasture on a farm off Highway 15. Atlanta filmmaker Bill VanDerKloot’s 1980 documentary, Iron Horse, recounts the riot and removal through interviews with alumni who were involved. The award-winning film will be screened on Friday, Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. at the

Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries and will be followed by a discussion and reception with VanDerKloot.

Red Priest: Known for theatrical performances that incorporate props, costumes and dramatic lighting, British Baroque quartet Red Priest performs a program called “Viva Baroque,” featuring selections by Bach, Handel and Vivaldi.

Founded in ’97, Red Priest has performed all over the world and is the only early-music group to be compared to the likes of Spike Jones, Cirque du Soleil and the Marx Brothers.

The group will perform on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Hodgson Concert Hall, and tickets are $25–35. A free pre-concert lecture will be held at 7:15 p.m., and the concert will be recorded for national broadcast on American Public Media’s “Performance Today.”

Harun Farocki: 4 Approaches: German avant-garde filmmaker Harun Farocki, widely considered to be one of the most distinctive and “best-known unknown” video artists, created over 100 films, the vast majority of them short experimental documentaries. He used a myriad of approaches to explore sociopolitical issues like war, technology, industry and capitalism. The Dodd Galleries, UGA Slavic & Germanic Studies Department and the UGA Department of Film Studies co-present four short works reflecting four approaches: reenactments, direct cinema, surveillance and computer-generated imagery. Inextinguishable Fire, a series of re-enactments of a Dow Chemical promotional film, gives a brutal perspective on the production of napalm. In An Image, Farocki uses a direct cinema approach to strip the glamour and allure from Playboy centerfolds by documenting each step of a photo shoot. I Thought I Was Seeing Convicts juxtaposes surveillance footage of a guard breaking up a fight in a maximum-security prison with footage tracking shoppers as they move through a supermarket’s aisles. Parallel II, part of Farocki’s final work, moves through the history of computer games, focusing on the violence quotient as games become more sophisticated. Chicago artist Mary Scherer will introduce the program, giving a brief overview of the career of Farocki, who passed away this summer. The event will be held Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Ciné, and entry is free with a UGA ID or $5.

Mitch Easter, Mike Mills and Ken Stringfellow

Mike Mills on Big Star, Baseball and the Music Biz R.E.M.

bid farewell in 2011, but bassist Mike Mills has not slowed down. In addition to touring as a member of singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur’s backing band, he contributes writing and guitar duties to The Baseball Project (alongside former bandmate Peter Buck), and is currently working on a “violin rock band concerto” with an unnamed collaborator in Athens. “It’s busy times,” says Mills with a chuckle. “In some ways, it’s more busy. R.E.M. would take a year or two off, and I haven’t taken a year off in a while.”

Mills returns to Athens Saturday, Nov. 8, when a supergroup celebrating the power-pop band Big Star’s enigmatic Third/Sister Lovers plays as part of the Slingshot Festival and UGA Spotlight on the Arts’ free outdoor concert on College Square. (For more on the concert, see the box below, and read Blake Aued’s Big Star essay on p. 13.) Flagpole caught up with Mills on a grey day over a cup of tea.

Flagpole: Do you remember when and where you first heard Big Star?

Mike Mills: At the Church, when Peter [Buck] and Michael [Stipe] and Bill [Berry] were living there, and I was more or less living there. Peter was showing us his record collection, and there was all this stuff I hadn’t heard. And there was Big Star. I didn’t like Third right away. It takes a bit of listening to appreciate what’s going on there. But it’s pretty powerful stuff.

FP: Do you think of them as an influence on R.E.M.?

MM: They’re an influence in the sense that—we never tried to make a song that sounded like any of theirs, we never tried to write like them at all. Simply in the sense of trying to create a record, to make an album that was as strong, top to bottom, as the first or second Big Star records. It wasn’t like we sat around and thought about that in the

Spotlight + Slingshot Part of this year’s Spotlight on the Arts festival, the UGA Arts Council’s annual arts and culture celebration (see p. 11), Saturday’s College Square concert is the latest of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts’ attempts to bridge the cultural and economic gaps that separate Athens and the university while encouraging innovation on both fronts, says Willson Center director Nicholas Allen.

“I was looking around for ways that the university and city could best combine to do things that might give us a competitive advantage over other places of learning and creativity,” says Allen. “The world is becoming a more interconnected place. It’s obvious in places like Austin, [TX], the transformative effect these kinds of events have had.”

True to that spirit, this weekend’s event is a bona fide town-and-gown collaboration.

For this year’s Spotlight centerpiece, the Willson Center partnered with the Slingshot Festival, the emerging multimedia happening whose primary goal is to transform Athens into a global arts destination. Connections made through the event’s co-sponsor, UGA’s Music Business program, as well as support from the Athens Downtown Development Authority, helped make the outdoor concert a reality.

“Like Slingshot,” Allen says, “we want to create events [throughout] the year, where people around the world will think, ‘I’d love to be in Athens tonight’… You might not have thought of this at Harvard [or] Yale. But you can absolutely do it at the University of Georgia.” [Gabe Vodicka]

studio, but somewhere in the back of our minds, it was, “It sure would be nice to make a record that good.” There were a lot of bands we were listening to and enjoying, but we weren’t trying to sound like anybody. But just in terms of knowing what we could accomplish as a four-piece band—that’s a pretty good bar to go after.

FP: How did the tribute come together?

MM: Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer had been playing with Alex [Chilton] and Jody [Stephens] as the Posies for some time, and they were gonna do a show at South by Southwest, and I was going to that show anyway. A week before that, Alex died. So Jody called me and said, “Will you come to what is now a memorial show?” and I said, “Of course.” Right about that time, Chris Stamey had relocated the charts to the strings for Third, and he was planning on doing something with Alex, anyway…

It’s not exactly a tribute; it’s not exactly a reproduction. I guess “tribute” is as close as anything. But it’s a celebration, really… It’s music we love, and it’s a way for us to share music we love with other people who love it, or other people who might not have had the chance to discover it. This way, we can bring it to people and let them see if they like it.

Because it’s not a known record. Big Star in general deserves a better hearing than they got. The third record’s not for everybody. It’s a difficult record, in many ways. But it’s very rewarding when you get to it. And to see that the beauty of it stands up in being played by all these other people—it lets you know there’s a lot of quality there.

FP: What’s it like for you, after such a long career playing your own music, to do something like the Big Star band? Is it freeing?

MM: Oh, yeah. The music is the center of attention in this band. It’s easy to stay in the back and have fun and relax. Certainly you wanna do it right, but it’s not the pressure of going out and playing your own songs to 50,000 people. It’s a lot more relaxed. I get

wound up—we wanna do this right, and we work really hard at it—but yeah, as a labor of love rather than a labor of work; it’s easier to relax and have fun.

Plus, the music’s really fun to play. You wouldn’t think that, listening to some of the songs on Third, but even the sad stuff—all the people that sing with us interpret the music extremely well. For me, as a bass player, I get to sit in the back and watch. It’s very enjoyable.

FP: You’ve got the REMTV box set coming out later this month. What stands out to you watching those performances now?

MM: I don’t really do that [laughs]. I’m sure I’ll see more as time goes on. But I can’t imagine sitting down and watching all six [DVDs]. It’s curious and interesting when I watch it, but it doesn’t draw me in. Those were kids. They were me, but they were different mes.

FP: So you feel detached from it?

MM: Kind of, in the sense that any record that’s more than a couple years old is over and done. You’ve moved on and done other things. It exists as a curiosity for me. For a fan, it’s really fun and exciting to listen to.

For me, I don’t listen to my own stuff for fun, anyway. So it’s not really fun to go back and watch an entire concert of it. It was nice when we did the Jim McKay retrospective here, and they played Tourfilm. I went to see it, and I enjoyed it. It’s fun; it brings back a lot of memories. In that sense, it’s really cool. It reminds you of the people you got to play with and the people you knew back then, some of whom are no longer around. Sure, as a historical piece, it’s great fun. But it’s not something I’m gonna spend much time on.

FP: Do you think R.E.M. could exist in 2014 as a new band?

MM: I wouldn’t do it. There’s too much competition now. There are still plenty of rabid fans for contemporary bands, but I don’t think it’s as all-consuming in people’s lives as

FP: What’s your take on streaming services like Spotify?

MM: Part of me thinks it’s ridiculous that they pay so little to musicians, but part of me thinks, well, they pay what they have to. They’re gonna pay what they can get away with. Aesthetically, it’s offensive.

Pragmatically, you take what you can get.

Guys like David Lowery are out there fighting the good fight, but they’re up against practical economic reality. I wish them all the best.

Then you’ve got somebody like Dave Allen [from] Gang of Four, who has decided to buy in rather than fight it. He works with bands to try to help them maximize their potential in the current economic climate. That involves doing things that were anathema to us. Getting your music on commercials and TV. That’s something we never did, and we won’t, but a lot of people see it as the way to get known and make money. Then again, that changes the idea of music as close to people’s hearts, because it is disposable now, and it is the soundtrack to a car commercial, or whatever, and as a result it’s not quite the life preserver for people it used to be.

FP: Switching gears totally, you’ve been vocal about the Atlanta Braves’ move.

MM: I’ve learned some things I didn’t know. There are two sides to every story. I still think it’s wrong. I think baseball belongs in the downtown part of the city, and that’s where it should always be. There are extenuating circumstances to this move, but I’m still not in favor of it. It’s just insane to move [the stadium] up there to Cobb County. To a really crappy place. The stadium will be beautiful, but the area’s terrible.

FP: Are you in favor of keeping Fredi Gonzalez on as manager?

MM: I think Fredi deserves another year, absolutely. He can’t make ‘em hit the ball.

It’s possible that the black holes created by [Dan] Uggla and B.J. Upton are too much to overcome. Chris Johnson’s too erratic; Jason Heyward hasn’t quite [reached] his potential yet. B.J. Upton will not be the starting centerfielder next year. I’m 99 percent sure of that.

I don’t know who’s gonna play second base.

We’ll have to find somebody.

Who Is Big Star?

O

ne of the pleasures (and frustrations) of being a music fan in the pre-Napster/ YouTube/Spotify/Pandora era was finding new stuff by following your favorite artists down the rabbit hole. For me, growing up in the 1990s, Pearl Jam led to the Singles soundtrack, which included two solo Paul Westerberg songs, which led to the Replacements’ Pleased to Meet Me, which made me wonder, “Who’s this Alex Chilton guy Westerberg’s singing about?”

Chilton and his most “famous” band, Big Star—named for a local chain of grocery stores in their native Memphis—were and remain an enigma. They pretty much invented power-pop; without them, there’d be no Replacements, and no New Pornographers or Weezer, either, to name just a few of the dozens of bigger bands that owe Big Star a debt.

Part of the mystique that made them so cool was that they were so obscure. That’s changing, thanks to the publicity surrounding Chilton’s 2010 death, the fascinating 2013 documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me and the efforts of more famous brethren like R.E.M.’s Mike Mills to champion these nearly-forgotten masters.

How did this happen? How could one of the best rock bands in history, hands down, almost end up in the dustbin? (“In the Street” was the group’s only song to ever see real success, and that was only when Cheap Trick covered it as the theme song to “That ‘70s Show.”) The title of Big Star’s debut, #1 Record, was only somewhat tongue-in-cheek, after all. The band knew they were good and, child star Chilton’s natural cynicism aside, they really did halfway expect to be big stars.

Nothing Can Hurt Me lays the blame mostly on Stax Records’ distribution troubles and poor marketing. The frustration led Chris Bell, Chilton’s underrated songwriting partner, to quit in 1972. When Chilton, bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens headed into the studio to record Radio City, the title was firmly sarcastic. But it was even better than #1 Record, from the funky first track “O My Soul” to the perfect wistful pop gem “September Gurls” to the confessional closer “I’m in Love with a Girl.”

Though now considered classics, both records combined sold fewer than 40,000 copies at the time. Thanks to the Internet, they could never be buried that way today. By the time I caught on to the band, a CD version including the first two albums was fairly readily available. (Both were recently reissued separately on CD and LP.) It took me years, though, to track down Third, aka Sister Lovers—the one Mills and company’s supergroup will be covering in its entirety Saturday, Nov. 8 on College Square.

Recorded by Mississippi blues and rock and roll legend Jim Dickinson in 1974 sans Hummel, no one even bothered to release Third until 1978. Smothered in Dickinson’s trademark echo, with Chilton’s once-rumbling voice higher and frailer than ever, it’s the sound of Chilton cracking up, trying to sabotage himself before anyone else gets the chance. He covers “Femme Fatale” here, and the stark, beautiful Velvet Underground & Nico is as good a touchstone as any. Where Big Star had once celebrated driving in the All-American tradition, “Big Black Car” recasts it as suicide. The ballad “Nightime” is the claustrophobic nightmare to “I’m in Love with a Girl”’s dream come true. “Holocaust” is as harrowing as any of Lou Reed’s heroin tales.

This is Big Star, though—Chilton couldn’t write a non-catchy tune if he tried. Songs like “Kizza Me,” with its woozy piano, “O, Dana” and “You Can’t Have Me” are bizarro versions of the band’s earlier straightforward power-pop. “Kangaroo” is shoegaze 10 years ahead of its time. There are strings and organs and saxophones and backup singers, even a cowbell (!), but it’s all just a bit off-kilter.

All of this means that Third isn’t always as much fun to listen to as #1 Record or Radio City. But it’s more interesting and, in the context of today, more relevant, too. Let’s face it: Guitar-pop is played out. No one’s done anything new with the genre in 20 years. But Third’s shambling, shimmering dark night of the soul is influencing indie stalwarts like Yo La Tengo, Girls and The War on Drugs as we speak.

Unfortunately, there was no Fourth. Bell died in a car crash in 1978. Chilton went on to have an eccentric career as a cult figure, dabbling in the New York and New Orleans punk scenes and forming a blue-eyed soul band that recalled The Boxtops, his teenage combo that had a couple of hits in the late ‘60s. In 2004, Chilton reunited with Stephens and, along with two acolytes, the Posies’ Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow, recorded an OK album and went on tour. (I saw them in Atlanta in 2006. They were pretty good!) Finally, 30 years too late, children by the thousands, if not the millions, sang for Alex Chilton.

FP: But it doesn’t translate into success.

MM: It depends how you define success.

You can make a living, absolutely. It’s much easier to get to the point where you can establish a career and make a living. But it’s much more difficult to be huge. In rock music, it’s almost impossible. If you wanna be huge, it’s either pop music or country music, which is almost pop music, or hip hop. And even then, it’s not as easy. Radio is not the force it used to be. You can go viral on YouTube, but that’s not necessarily gonna translate into anything.

Sunday, November 9 3:00 p.m. �

In

late summer 2014, as America faced questions of inequality following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires were touring behind Dereconstructed, a fireball of a Southern rock record with its sights set squarely on racism’s shameful legacy in the South. Released in May, Dereconstructed, the band’s debut on its new label, Sub Pop, unpacks a lifetime of righteous indignation, questions the Southern identity and rejects hate born out of a youth spent in a state that was once a center of racial hatred, Alabama.

“I think part of the reason I felt so strongly about writing the songs was that I knew those tensions were only going to boil over,” songwriter Bains says. “When I started writing the record in 2011, the Arab Spring was going on, and the Occupy protests. Those were sort of uncovering some of those latent issues that I had been thinking about. So, I wanted to bring those issues and those tensions to bear on my own experience in the South.”

Boil over those tensions did, making Dereconstructed—which features indictments of everything from the tactics of Bull Connor, the Birmingham police chief responsible for the use of fire hoses and attack dogs against civil rights protesters in 1963, to modern bombings of abortion clinics—particularly timely.

“I think that having this record out and playing in St. Louis a couple of weeks after Mike Brown was murdered is a sort of grim vindication of the motives behind these songs and what I was trying to do,” says Bains.

Dereconstructed is sometimes puzzling; the choice to deliver Bains’ thoughtful, intelligent, compassionate sentiments through the medium of what Pitchfork called “bloozy rawk” is an interesting one. Then again, the record is about roots, and Bains’ are entangled with those of his previous group, the fiery Dexateens, as well as bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, who play no small role in the lives of many young men growing up in the former Confederacy.

It’s no wonder that Bains often gets mixed up with the party-rockin’ side of Southern music. “I certainly don’t identify with the shit-kickin’ or whiskey-swillin’ qualifiers that are sometimes thrown around,” he says.

Still, the Glory Fires’ music, often driven

by righteous anger and colored with Biblical language, is an impassioned good time, regardless of how you feel about the topics underlying the lyrics. But as Bains points out, the progenitors of Southern rock often took on the social issues of their time in subtle ways.

“I think that Lynyrd Skynyrd and some of those bands did a lot to challenge the notions of young white people who had gone to school in segregated schools. I think that they probably challenged some of their standing ideas about the war in Vietnam, and they did that on their own terms, within the communities and the culture where these kids lived. I find that to be pretty inspiring.”

Bains also bucks Southern-rock stereotypes by penning dense, at times verbose lyrics like “Senior year, you could go deaf from all the talk of terrorists and Muslim fundamentalists/ And I thought it strange in a town where so-called believers blew up women’s clinics we had the gall to act so offended.”

Dereconstructed’s hardcore pacing and art-rock literacy find a way to cram it all in, but it seems a shame that those carefully written words speed by in such a hurry.

When all’s said and done, Bains is simply trying to suss out the complicated issue of what it means—to him—to be a Southerner.

“If you want to know what the South is, you’re going to have to ask every Southerner, because they are all going to have a different answer. [My goal] was to reclaim my Southernness and to do so on my own terms,” he says.

That this reclamation wound up dovetailing with a growing national conversation about our past—and our future—regarding issues like race relations, wage inequality and women’s rights, makes the Glory Fires particularly interesting to engage with now.

If that’s all too heady for your tastes, don’t worry. Dereconstructed may not have been fueled by whiskey-swillin’, but it’s still damn fine music to sip a Southern Comfort to.

about 2004. His new album, appropriately titled Fashionably Late, comes out Nov. 7, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a release show happening that same night at Max. Also on the bill this night are Sohi, Lil Redd, The Swank, Dictator, Blacknerdninja, Billy D. Brell and Tee-Roy 300. Special guests include 3 Feet, Chrismis, Elite, LG the HOTC and Duddy Ken. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all being presented by AthFactor Entertainment and Kalikoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Liberty Entertainment. For previews and background, see youtube.com/ itskaliko.

Kaliko plus visual artists creating work onstage. The current format features one live band and one visual artist, after which the stage opens as a jam space for audience members, visitors, etc. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t written in stone, however, and artists and performers are encouraged to collaborate, explore and figure out creative ways of artistic convergence if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so inclined.

The series takes place on Tuesdays but will take a break during December to dig into the planning for 2015. Upcoming Myriad events for 2014 are Nov. 4 with Saturn Valley and live art by Michelle Hutchings and Nov. 18 with Castaway and art by Thomas herself.

Organizing things like this is largely a thankless task that occurs primarily behind the scenes, so hats off to Thomas for taking the reins and running with her idea. For more information, see facebook.com/myriadathens.

Back to the Front: Athens rapper Kaliko is coming back on the scene after a 10-year period of dormancy. Originally from Philadelphia, where he performed under the name Killa K, he was quite active in the Athens scene from the mid-1990s until

m

well spent. On the same YouTube channel, you can find a whole bunch of footage from the 1984 Human Rights Festival. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all over at youtube.com/logrun9.

Bring Back Marmite: Eureka California is one group threatening to quietly break out of the Athens scene via a steady diet of touring, recording, staying dedicatedly on task, never playing the stupid local-rock-star game and, basically, doing everything right.

The undeniably catchy, guitar-driven indie group has already done a few domestic tours this year and takes off this week for the UK. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play Nova Scotia first before making the puddle jump, but then will hit Liverpool, Scarborough, Cardiff, Manchester, London, Brighton and Nottingham. Interspersed on this jaunt are three separate radio sessions, which arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly the easiest thing to come by. Their tour begins Nov. 6 and runs through Nov. 15.

John Cleaveland

Farmington Depot Gallery · 6–9 p.m. · FREE! “Farmington Skies,” an exhibit of 26 oil paintings, captures the fleeting moments of day when the sun hits the clouds and land just right. Cleaveland, who has been a landscape painter for nearly 30 years, earned his BFA from UGA and held a graduate assistantship in the studies abroad program in Cortona, Italy, when he began transitioning from color-focused abstract paintings to photorealistic landscapes. Finding endless subject matter near his home in Farmington, he is pulled into places by their unique lighting.

Seemingly ordinary settings are beautified through the warm shades of a setting of sun or the soft glow of a rising moon.

A hand-drawn map in the gallery will reveal the locations that inspired each scene. [Jessica Smith]

Wrenn

Nuçi’s Space · 7 p.m. · $5 Despite Flagpole columnist Gordon Lamb’s assertion in last week’s Threats & Promises that Wrenn’s debut album, Hi, “makes no real artistic statement at all,” local musician Erin Notarthomas deserves to be high-fived for creating something unlike anything in Athens music. Granted, the record, with its perplexing hodgepodge of pop, jazz and vaudevillian showmanship misses as often as it hits (if anything, there are too many statements going on), but Notarthomas’ songwriting and generally badass boldness all but make up for the more questionable bits. Check it out at Friday’s record-release show, which also features an eccentric, town-and-gown set of supporting performances, including classical piano and a breakdancing battle. [Gabe Vodicka]

Cloverleaf Farm · 12 p.m. · $48 The second installment of the Wildwood Revival, a new and semi-annual event at the bucolic Cloverleaf Farm just outside Athens in Arnoldsville, features a solid lineup of Americana heavyweights headlined by Pennsylvania alt-country favorite Langhorne Slim. Supporters include New Orleans swampcountry outfit The Deslondes, Nashville songwriter Joshua Black Wilkins, Ohio-based bluesrocker Patrick Sweany and locals T. Hardy Morris and Grassland String Band, among others.

Hearty, farm-to-table lunch and dinner meals, courtesy of caterers A Divine Event, are available for an additional cost, as are teepee rentals and tent and RV campsites. (Check wildwoodrevival.com for details.) Getting back to the land never sounded so good. [GV]

Bloom Community Space · 6–10 p.m. · FREE! Local illustrator and tattoo artist David Hale presents a one-night gallery show of largescale ink drawings mounted to panel and limited-edition screen prints. Titled “Simple Gifts” after a Shaker song by the same name, the body of work is intended to honor Mystical Folk lineages. “I feel indebted to folk lineages, particularly of this continent, because they have provided the foundation to my manner of working and my visual influences,” says Hale. “I want to do my best to honor these traditions, to make art that comes from the heart: the voice of the “folk,” the people. To me this is inherently a mystical path, because the heart is the source of divine energy, and that which is spoken from this place is mystical in its very nature.” [JS]

Ciné · 5:30 p.m. · $10 Taste of Athens may have been a victim of its own success. The event, which features dozens of local eateries, draws thousands to the Classic Center, but the sheer size made it increasingly difficult for restaurants to participate. Next year, Community Connection, the nonprofit that benefits from the funds raised, is refocusing TOA into a more intimate, chef-driven event that can draw national attention to the Athens food scene. First up is a screening of American Winter, an HBO documentary about struggling families in Portland, OR, who’ve been helped by their Community Connections’ 211 referral hotline. Our Community Connection hopes the film will help the public make the, well, connection between 211 and Taste of Athens. [Blake Aued]

Shaving Cream

My girlfriend has suddenly decided, several years into our relationship, that she no longer wants to shave her legs or armpits. I’m trying not to be shallow, but this really gets to me.

What should I do?

Bothered I hear that you’re trying to be sensitive but are really bothered by this, and that’s understandable. Fortunately, I think this is an issue you and/or time can resolve.

Step 1: Do not say a single word about this to your girlfriend right now. Nothing you say will be received well at this point. She will either start shaving again (but be hurt), or dig in her heels.

Step 2: Give yourself four to six weeks to get used to it. The only reason (and it really is the only reason) this bothers you is because it’s unusual. You’re not accustomed to seeing women with unshaven legs. I think you’ll find it bothers you a lot less as time goes

Determined Former Tenant You may remember that Determined Former Tenant was trying to get back a security deposit from a former landlord. A reader made the following suggestion: If DFT’s letter to the landlord gets no results, (s)he can try one other approach before deciding whether to go the small claims route.

DFT can warn (more matter-of-factly than threateningly) that (s)he is going to notify the Better Business Bureau (in Atlanta—there’s not one here). If that attempt does not get results, DFT should send each a letter and include a copy of the letter sent to the landlord and a copy of the Flagpole letter and response from you.

I wish her success. DFT seems to be a very conscientious and thoughtful citizen with a legitimate complaint.
