Trouble for ARMC’s New Owner?

Plus, the Discrimination Ordinance, AIDS Athens, Daily Groceries and More Local News

By Blake Aued, Rebecca McCarthy and Martha Michael news@flagpole.com

Athens Regional. As part of the deal—which was finalized The investment rating firm Moody’s isn’t optimistic about Oct. 1—Piedmont agreed to take on ARMC’s $195 million Piedmont Healthcare’s future after it acquired the hospital in debt and spend $375 million on capital improvements formerly known as Athens Regional Medical Center. over the next seven years. Piedmont is also selling bonds to Ratings firms said last week that $406 million in bonds expand its hospitals in Atlanta and Fayetteville.

Gove said. [Blake Aued] raising more questions about ARMC’s decision to become a Piedmont subsidiary. While hospitals across the country are consolidating to become more efficient and gain leverage in reimbursement negotiations with health insurance companies—and Piedmont has been gobbling up hospitals successfully for years—Moody’s thinks Piedmont may have gone too far. “Management has demonstrated a core competency in integrating smaller, distressed hospitals into the system as it expands its footprint through mergers,� analysts wrote. “The revision of the outlook to negative reflects a material increase in debt associated with this issuance that will weaken debt service coverage and leverage metrics. Furthermore, the newly merged entity, Athens Regional Medical Center, only shows a recent history of stable operations and represents a sizable addition to Piedmont. Athens is not located in the Atlanta metro area, presenting additional challenges to successfully integrate operations and gain synergies.�

RIP Rev. Killian: The Rev. Archibald “A.R.� Killian, one of Athens’ first black police officers and an outspoken local civil rights leader for decades, died Oct. 25 at age 83.

Killian was born in Athens and served as a military policeman during the Korean War, where like many African-American soldiers he got a taste of life without Jim Crow. After leaving the Air Force, he nearly took a job as a police officer in Los Angeles but returned to Athens instead.

When Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter integrated the University of Georgia in 1961, Killian let Holmes live in his house and protected him from white mobs.

In 1962, he and his cousin Donald Moon—who was murdered a year later—were hired as Athens’ first AfricanAmerican police officers. Killian turned in his badge a few times rather than arrest black civil-rights protesters, and he quit the force for good in 1966.

After his law enforcement career ended, Killian was a mailman, owned a nightclub and had a talk-radio show on WXAG 1470 AM. For 20 years he was the pastor of St. Mark AME Church, which was at the center of protests against police after a white officer killed Edward Wright, an unarmed black man, in 1995.

Flagpole ran a profile of Killian in 2013, when the Baxter Street police substation was named after him and Moon, which we have reposted on flagpole.com. [BA] Businesses That Don’t Discriminate: As a Nov. 1 Athens-Clarke County Commission vote on a proposed anti-discrimination ordinance loomed, the Athens AntiDiscrimination Movement visited 75 local businesses and convinced more than 30 of them to place stickers in their windows pledging not to discriminate.

As of Oct. 20, those businesses were: Wing Zone, CPR, Native America Gallery, Barberitos, Eddie’s Calzones, Pitaya, Sister Louisa’s, Five Bar, Atomic, Hot Breath, Shokitini, the Pub at Gameday, Hookah Hookup, Little Kings, The National, Dawg Gone Good BBQ, ARTini’s, Taste of India, Pouch, Mother Pho, Agora, Taco Stand, Jittery Joe’s, CinÊ, Agua Linda, Hi-Lo Lounge, Journey Juice, Normal Bar, Daily Groceries Co-op, Go Bar, Hendershot’s and The Grit.

In addition, employees at some chains have expressed interest but said they need corporate approval, Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement co-founder Mokah Jasmine Johnson said.

In related news, at press time Athens for Everyone had received commitments from four of 10 ACC commissioners—Jared Bailey, Kelly Girtz, Melissa Link and Jerry

NeSmith—to vote in favor of a civil rights committee to collect data on discrimination, reach out to minority communities and recommend policies to the Mayor and Commission. [BA] AIDS Athens Rebrands: AIDS Athens hosted its annual AIDS Walk Oct. 8, but the donations continue to pour in and are expected to total over $25,000, according to interim Executive Director Cassandra Bray.

“Seeing so many diverse participants out there, seeing how many people are still enthused about our efforts and want to make a difference, even though we still have a lot to do” was the best part of the event, Bray said.

This event, its largest of the year, gave AIDS Athens the platform it needed to announce an official rebranding of the organization, which will now be called Live Forward. The name was inspired by patients and clients of AIDS Athens who said that “by being a part of the services there, they felt like they could live forward and live a quality life,” Bray said.

The organization will continue serving the same 10 Northeast Georgia counties that AIDS Athens serves now.

Live Forward’s mission statement advocates for “Housing, Independence, Voice.” With affordable and safe housing, families can achieve better well-being and health for the families, especially since stably housed patients are more likely to properly take their HIV treatment, Bray said.

As a result of stable housing, individuals and families will have greater independence, and have a stronger “voice for change and… educate the community about discrimination and stigma” surrounding HIV, according to the newly redesigned aidsathens.org. AIDS Athens/Live Forward will also be hosting several more fundraising events in the next couple months, including a percentage night at The National and an event with George’s Lowcountry Table in November.

[Martha Michael] Bigger, Better Daily Groceries: A bigger selection of local items, lower prices, a deli, a seating area and maybe even a community space are just some of the ideas the ownermembers of Daily Groceries Co-op are discussing for a possible move down the street into the 100 Prince development on the former St. Joseph Catholic Church property.

Designated for a grocery anchor, the 13,000-square-foot space in the development is 10 times larger than Daily’s current home a couple of blocks down Prince Avenue. The co-op has been housed in different facilities on Prince since 1992—it was initially next to the Grit before moving to the corner of Pope and Prince in 1997. If things go as the board wishes, Daily Groceries will be ringing up cash registers in a new facility sometime in 2018.

“I talk with a lot of people who shop in our store, and they tell me they love the size, the space and the charm of our building,” General Manager Lisa Merva said. “They’re afraid we’re going to lose some of our flavor and uniqueness if we move to a bigger place. But we think we’re going to gain a lot.”

In a few months, probably in late January and early February, Daily will undertake a capital campaign, said Delene Porter, head of the co-op’s board of directors. “We’ll try to increase the number of owner-members” who now number about 1,200, she said. “We’ll ask customers to come in, shop, buy a share, make an investment.”

In hand already is a $900,000 pledge; the goal is to amass another $1.5 million from owner-members, “as loans, as investments they’ll get back,” Porter said. At the end of a two-to-three-week pledge period, the board of directors will know if the project is going forward. At last week’s annual meeting of Daily’s owner-members, people were asked to say what they like about the current facility and what they’d like to see in a new one.

Porter and Merva said they thought about improving and expanding their current space or even moving upstairs, but doing so just wasn’t feasible because of so many built-in inefficiencies. Porter hopes the numbers add up and Daily can move into the 100 Prince complex, but if not, the co-op will continue trying to find a larger, more suitable space.

It needs one. In the last five years, the store has seen a 60 percent growth in sales. In 2015, it had $1.34 million in sales, and 30 percent of its product purchases were for local goods.

“Daily is really bursting, but we can’t thrive in this location,” Merva said. “We can’t keep enough stuff on the shelves.” [Rebecca McCarthy] f

How Is Sen. Isakson’s Health?

His Parkinson’s Is the Elephant in the Room

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 2, 2016

There’s not much suspense about who will win Georgia’s senate race. Johnny Isakson has been ahead of his Democratic challenger, Jim Barksdale, by 10 points or more in recent polls. Libertarian Allen Buckley may peel off enough votes to force a runoff, but that’s not very likely.

If you’re a betting person, your money should be on the senator to win a third term in office. The question is whether you will see another person finish out that sixyear term.

That’s the real issue that hasn’t been discussed much in this campaign—Isakson’s health. The senator had serious medical problems the last time he ran in 2010, when he was hospitalized twice and spent time in an intensive care unit because of an irregular heartbeat and a blood infection.

When I talked to him a few weeks after that election, he acknowledged, “I almost bought the farm.�

Isakson, who will be 72 in December, has a medical issue in this campaign as well, having been diagnosed in 2013 with Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that damages a person’s motor skills. The disease gets progressively worse and in its later stages can cause depression, hallucinations, delusions and paranoia.

One of the rumors that’s been making the rounds is whether Isakson would serve his entire senate term or resign after several months to allow Gov. Nathan Deal to appoint a replacement, perhaps former congressman Jack Kingston.

Isakson’s longtime strategist and confidant, Heath Garrett, says the senator intends to serve the term. “He verified as soon as the diagnosis was finalized that he would serve the entire six years,� Garrett said. “He was unequivocal about that.�

Regardless of Isakson’s good intentions, the senator has a serious disease that could keep him from serving the full term. It’s a question that should have been asked by his opponents, but they’ve been too timid to talk about it until recently.

In a debate on Georgia Public Television, Buckley finally went where Barksdale, for some reason, won’t go. “I don’t mean to be mean,� Buckley said. “But the best thing for Johnny, his family, our state and our country would be if he were not running right now. I’ve talked to a lot of his friends who will tell me that confidentially.�

Isakson replied, “I think that’s a veiled reference to the fact that I disclosed a year and a half ago that I had Parkinson’s, which was the hardest thing that I ever did, and also the best thing that I ever did. “The only way you play things like Parkinson’s is to be open and forthright about them,� Isakson said. “I tell everybody I intend to win that battle and I will win that battle.� “I’ve got the energy to go up there [to Washington] and put in the fight,� Buckley said. “No offense, I’m younger than you.� “I’m not going to hold your immaturity and your inexperience against you,� Isakson replied.

Barksdale stood silent during this exchange before meekly saying: “I do think it’s appropriate that we ask a commitment to serve out the full six-year term. But I’m not going to question why he’s here.�

That debate exchange illustrates why Barksdale is losing whatever chance he might have had to win this race. If your opponent is having medical problems that could interfere with carrying out the duties of office, then it’s certainly valid to raise that as an issue. Barksdale has been too gentlemanly to do it. f

by Cy Brown news@flagpole.com If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already know Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season is a lost cause, the loss on Saturday told you. The Bulldogs fell to the Florida Gators 24-10 at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Partyâ&#x20AC;? and dropped to 4-4 this season. With just four games left, a bowl appearance this season is looking less and less likely, and as many as three more losses could be coming Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way.

The season was a lost cause from the first snap of spring practice, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the offense Kirby Smart wants to run.

He brought in offensive coordinator Jim Chaney to install a power run game. The problem is, the way the offenseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more specifically the offensive lineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he inherited is built, there was always very little chance that it would be effective this season, even with all the talented tailbacks at Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disposal.

the principles of the offense he wants to run and drill them into his playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be prepared when Georgia is in a position to compete for an SEC title.

The offensive line will get bigger through recruiting, and Eason will get more accustomed to this system with time and reps. So far everything makes sense, even if it makes for a season destined to end in Biloxi at the Advanced Auto Parts Truck Nuts Bowl.

FLAGPOLE.COM â&#x2C6;&#x2122; NOVEMBER 2, 2016

Unfortunately for Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, his linemen are smaller than Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands.

Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line is just too small right now. Mark Richtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system used smaller lineman to pull and move around to break runners outside. Chaney wants his OL to bang and bully opponents to set up runs between the tackles, and to do that you need five big bodies. Unfortunately, Georgia has one of the smallest offensive lines in the SEC, bless their hearts.

On top of that, freshman quarterback Jacob Eason ran the spread in high school.

Before he came to Athens in the spring, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never played a pro-style offense, and probably took very few snaps from under center.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big learning curve, even for a quarterback as talented as he is. If Smart wanted this offense to click more this season, he shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve installed more spread packages to give both Eason and the offensive line some plays theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable with.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable why he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that, however. Smart seems dedicated to the power run system, just like his former boss at Alabama, Nick Saban. And he, unlike many fans, understood that this was likely to be a lost season. Barring scandal, no coach is fired in their first season. So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using his honeymoon period to instill

over the past four years has been to spread it out and pass it around. If you run at Alabama, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking for a loss. Does Smart want to be Saban or beat Saban?

Maybe he has some secret to beating the Alabama defense from his years spent coaching it. Maybe he thinks he can beat Saban at his own game. Maybe, since he was at Bama for so long, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only offense he really knows.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Chaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play-calling, so hopefully Smart will find a better coordinator in the next few seasons. But I really hope Smart will do an about face and commit to the spread. (Dabo Swinney switched to the spread after his first year at Clemson, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how that turned out, so, hey, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible.) With the athletes in the state of Georgia, and the defenses in the rest of the conference, it would be a big success.

But, because of the dedication Smart has shown to this power run system, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see drastic improvement in the offense next season. But, then, as long as Alabama is still Alabama, the best-case scenario is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fighting for second place every year.

The worst-case scenario isâ&#x20AC;Ś well, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching it this season. f

Fresh Food on the Go

NIGHTLY

Produce, not Cans, at the Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry

By Lauren Baggett news@flagpole.com Last Wednesday by 3:55 p.m., the tables were arranged and ready to go at Alps Road Elementary. In a few minutes, select students and their families would arrive to peruse rows of produce—eight varieties in all, including potatoes, turnips, radishes and blackberries. As each family arrived, they grabbed a box and, like so many Athenians who meander through the tables at the Athens Farmers Market each Saturday, began to shop.

produce. Beyond that, Canfield wants to involve as many local sources for produce as possible. “My personal goal is to get two local items into each pantry,” she says.

In 2015, the Athens Land Trust’s West Broad Market Garden donated produce for each school pantry, and this year the CSA Collective Harvest has jumped on board, donating up to 50 pounds—about 10 pounds from each farm—a week over the summer. Plus, a little extra: If you’re one

The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia’s mobile pantry visits Alps Road Elementary School.

You might never guess that this school event, with table after table replete with fresh and often local produce, was in fact a mobile food pantry. And that’s the point.

The market-style setup is new approach to food distribution. Most school feeding programs give out prepared boxes. Beegee Elder, child nutrition manager at the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, thinks offering a shopping experience returns autonomy to the families they serve. “They feel a part of the selection process, like ‘I get to choose what I’m going to bring home to my family,’” Elder says. “It’s not some handout.”

The October school pantry was the second one held at Alps Road Elementary and the fourth fresh-food-focused school pantry the food bank has put on since December 2015. Childhood Nutrition Coordinator Molly Canfield estimates that around 65 families are served at each pantry.

With the help of grant funds, Elder and her team were able to round out their pantry with cooking demonstrations and nutrition education. “It’s a bigger project this year than it was last year,” says Elder. “It’s more holistic.”

Offering fresh food is expensive, and Elder’s team recognized that grant dollars could only cover so much. Canfield spearheaded several successful fundraising efforts this summer. “Thankfully, people are starting to understand the importance of providing fresh produce to families in need,” she says.

Canfield receives regular donations from big-box stores like Publix and Walmart, which often drop off good-quality, seasonal

of the folks who forgets a pickup now and again, your food is likely making its way to the food bank.

Food banks and feeding programs across the country have been challenging themselves to offer more fresh foods because they’re healthier for the families. A fresh, raw tomato is healthier than its stewed, canned cousin. But the canned item has always been a staple of food banks. Though these types of foods are high in sodium, sugars and fats, families gravitate to these kinds of foods, says Elder, because they tend to be cheaper, and they keep. That’s important for someone who doesn’t know where the next paycheck is coming from.

“Food insecurity and shelf-stable food go hand in hand,” she says.

One-fifth of Clarke County residents have limited access to healthy foods. School pantry programs have a history of leveraging the school campus to connect families to community resources. For one mother Canfield met at a previous pantry, local organic kale was an unexpected and welcome sight. “She said, ‘I can’t believe you have that. I love kale, and it’s hard to get.’

That was a cool thing,” Canfield says.

Elder says they try to offer produce the families want, and they’ll send recipe cards home with suggestions for how to cook unfamiliar items. Still, not all attempts are successful. “It’s funny, because some families will come back and say, ‘My kids hated the recipe.’ Others love it.” The feedback is important, says Elder, because the Food Bank’s aim is to help these families for the immediate and long-term future. f

Friends Remember Jeremy Ayers Keith Strickland (The B-52s) It’s a heartbreaking loss. We met at 16 and had a long friendship. He was part of that Athens scene in the mid ’70s—poets and artists—that the B-52s came out of. He was a big inspiration and became a mentor to Ricky [Wilson] and me. He was gentle, generous, kind-hearted and truly engaged—always with a sparkle in his eyes. He touched so many people over the years, yet remained who he was the whole time.

Kai Riedl (Slingshot Festival) Jeremy and I considered ourselves best friends for the last 20 years. He was an artist of friendships and was always present with who he was with. He greatly respected his family, his father’s work and his mother’s spirit. His father was very proud of him and gave him the groundwork to be an outspoken free thinker. Jeremy embraced death as a friend, as part of the cycle of life. He had acknowledged the fragility of life for a long time. Without his singular spirit, Athens wouldn’t be what it is.

Daniel Nelson (Ayers’ partner and performer, writer, director, designer, producer) Jeremy was beloved in New York, but Athens was a perfect world for him to work in all his different areas. We met in 2005 through Cal Clements, who was studying Richard Foreman’s theater. Jeremy was an amazing collaborator who gave me the best feedback imaginable; he taught me to see the work non-judgmentally. Jeremy embodied compassion and embraced self-exploration—creating for its own sake. He was one of the few people who found a way to express unconditional love, and he practiced it.

That’s very rare. He really touched people and was memorable.

Jill Carnes (artist and Elephant 6 musician) Jeremy was a kind and thoughtful person, extremely imaginative with a wry sense of humor. To me, he was a combination of father figure, brother and wacky uncle. He was mentor to a lot of local artists, including me, and never really understood how people could say they were bored, because there was so much out there. We were pals for 33 years, and I love him dearly.

Blair Dorminey (Cobbham neighbor, lawyer, arts advocate) Jeremy was the quintessential Athens bohemian.

He excelled in everything he did and was artistic in every way—his house, his garden, even the way he dressed. I called his everyday style “gothic romanticism.” I was especially impressed with how many others he influenced. He was unrelentingly positive in the face of the world’s adversity. He showed us another way of being and was foundational for the Athens arts scene. He was always in the mix.

Cal Clements (Rubber Soul Yoga owner, clown school teacher, avant-garde theater director) Jeremy loved complexity but also appreciated ambiguity. He was a disciplined artist, yet playful. Jeremy loved to photograph outsider characters and tell their stories. He was also a collector, and his house is full of the work of local artists, books, symbols and artifacts with a personal backstory. He was an original who defied classification.

Roy Bell (Cobbham neighbor, Athens home-builder) I met Jeremy in high school and recognized that he was a worldly, thinking individual. He taught us about theater, music, art and fashion, but mostly he taught us about being who we were and who we wanted to be. I remember when Jeremy went to New York and became Sylva Thinn, and I saw a picture of him with Andy Warhol and was blown away. I thought he was destined for stardom, but he always came back to Athens. He is part of the reason Athens is such a cool little place to live with a thriving artist community.

Join the Party Amid Darkness and Division, Andrew W.K. Preaches Positivity

By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

It

Nina Ottolino

has been just over 14 years since rock and roll innovator and popular media personality Andrew W.K. last performed at the 40 Watt Club, but he still hasn’t forgotten that night.

“I remember that night very well for a variety of reasons,” he says. “It was the one-year anniversary of 9/11. It was extraordinarily hot, and I was really exerting myself. As soon as I got off stage I vomited. It actually felt really good. Most people are familiar with this—your body only vomits when it needs to feel better. It was kind of a euphoric feeling.”

On Saturday, W.K. returns to the 40 Watt on his “Power of Partying” speaking tour. Though W.K. is primarily known for his rambunctious punk songs and frequent TV appearances, he has spent the last 10 years giving lectures about his unique, positive outlook on life. This specific tour comes on the heels of the creation of the Party Party, W.K.’s somewhat tongue-incheek attempt to enter the 2016 political process with a platform that centers around bringing communities from all across America together—to party.

But what does it mean to party? To W.K., the word has a deep, almost primal origin.

“The best way to describe it is that all of my efforts in life are to conjure up a kind of raw energy,” he says, before admitting, “It is a bit indescribable. How do you describe the feeling music gives you when you like a song? How do you describe the feeling you get going down a rollercoaster? Is it happiness? Sure, but this goes beyond a mood. There’s something physical about it. It involves nearly every aspect of your being.

“I thought maybe the best way to describe that situation was as a life force, a sort of vitality,” he continues. “This feeling of not only being alive but being glad that you’re alive. My whole goal is to just try and immerse myself in that feeling personally. It helps me feel better about life and all its struggles. That’s partying.”

While some labeled the Party Party as a joke, W.K. says it came from a place of genuine desire to help people. “The Party Party was just another attempt to conjure up that energy I described, but in the political realm. I’m not a politician. I don’t have much to offer to politics, but I always have something to offer to partying.”

Unfortunately, the Party Party didn’t make it to the voting booths this year, but the basic spirit of bringing America together has transferred over to this speaking

tour, for which W.K. is hitting all 50 states in just three months, a goal he says he’s always wanted to achieve.

“I believe I’ve performed in every state in some capacity, but I’ve never done one tour where I hit every state back to back,” he says. “There’s always that basic feeling of not wanting to leave anybody out. Nobody’s left out of the party. Also, for my own sake, I wanted to feel this connection to the entire nation. To be bonded and to travel through the whole realm. The spirit of embracing the entire United States is important to me.”

W.K.’s lectures are not typically pre-prepared and feature no visual aids or notes for him to read from. Similar to how he writes his music, he’s speaking solely from the heart and mind. It’s because of that, he says, that his performances—musical or otherwise—always have the same result.

“I’ve talked to so many different people who don’t like my music, or even rock music in general, who were able to get a shred of a positive feeling through either an interview they read or hearing me speak on the radio or reading something I wrote,” he says.

“So I wanted to be able party with those people too. I wanted to use any means or mode of partying that I could to connect with people and to connect with that feeling myself.

“I’m not ashamed to say that a lot of what I do is for my own good. Being happy about life has not come easily to me for as long as I can remember. So a lot of my efforts are to cheer myself up. Sometimes I feel like my life depends on being able to do this. Fortunately, if that kind of thing works for one person, it usually works for other people too.”

While he does plan to have a new album out “relatively soon,” until the end of this year W.K. is focused on traveling across the country and preaching the power of partying—something that, when looking back on it, he’s been doing for his entire career.

“I’ve tried to become more skilled and efficient at reaching a point of clarity,” he explains. “Each song I write is an attempt to do that. Each concert I perform is an attempt to do that. Each lecture is an attempt to do that. Partying is an elusive state of mind. You can get there, but it can slip away again. It’s not like when you reach that state of ecstatic truth you can stay there forever. So if anything has changed about me over the years, it’s that I’ve tried to get better at getting myself to that point, and taking other people there with me.” f

mid the carefree abandon of New Year’s Eve, the night typically provides an opportunity for reflection.

It may present itself early on in the evening before meeting up with friends, or it may sneak up suddenly, as the midnight countdown approaches.

Whatever the case, one takes stock of the past year and begins to develop plans for moving forward. What didn’t work out? Where does one go from here?

As those thoughts began to seep into the minds of countless individuals across the world last Dec. 31, Muuy Biien was already putting its plan into action.

The punk group, whose members call both Athens and Atlanta home, took the 40 Watt stage an hour before Times Square’s televised ball drop. Anyone familiar with the group’s signature hardcore sound had no clue what was going on. The lights were dim and cold, the air was thick with fog, and the music itself provided a newfound sonic atmosphere touched on previously only by the band’s ambient instrumental recordings. The songs were a little slower, a little funkier, even, and—wait, was that John Fernandes on violin?

“The hardcore thing, that’s basic knowledge,” says singer Josh Evans about the drastic change in sound. “Fundamentals,” clarifies guitarist Robbie Rapp.

“Rudimentary,” drummer Jacob Lake adds.

“Naturally, that was kind of how I saw

helping shape the sound of the record.

Yet underneath the slinking groove of Miller’s bass lines and Lake’s accented snare pops, there’s also a noticeable change in the music from a lyrical standpoint. Though still uniquely Muuy Biien in tone, Evans says Age of Uncertainty is “not as personal.”

“D.Y.I. was a lot of inward thinking and a lot of paranoid shit,” he says. “Ridiculous stuff.” This time around, he chose to write from a more thoughtful and observant place, taking on morality and public shaming in one fell swoop. The title, then, characterizes both how the band viewed its future at the time of writing and recording as well as the broader cultural climate.

“I think with time… it’ll make more sense later, but that doesn’t make it bad or unapproachable now,” says Evans of the album. “I don’t know if old fans are going to dislike this record as much as [say], ‘Oh, that’s catchy, I like this,’” says Rapp. “It’s not watered down at all. It’s not a cop out. We didn’t go pop or anything,” he adds. “I feel like it’ll just have a broader appeal.”

Indeed, it does put the band in a strange position—releasing a record it’s proud of, showcasing a sound it’s been building upon and moving forward with for over a year, while the public’s reception and reaction remains up in the air. Even so, Muuy Biien continues to move forward, and with every step growing a little bit surer of where it’s going. f

A Bar Divided Talking Politics on Karaoke Night

By Adam Clair music@flagpole.com

It’s

karaoke night at Go Bar, like it has been every Thursday for more than a decade. Dots of light reflecting off the disco ball perforate the blue tint cast over the bar, though most of tonight’s patrons are watching from outside. The performers’ talent levels range from pitch perfect to, let’s say, imperfect, and their selections are as varied.

Thomas Hedger, a Go Bar co-owner, is behind the bar, where he is almost every night. Dr. Fred, the pseudonymous MC (who actually does have a PhD), is in his familiar spot behind a laptop, where he’s run more than 400 of these shows. A plurality of songs tonight have been David Bowie, but even folks singing They Might Be Giants or Johnny Cash seem to attempt a Bowie impersonation. Eventually, it’s Dr. Fred’s turn. He shuffles to the stage in slacks and a grey golf shirt and continues the theme with an early ’80s Bowie track.

Maybe it’s easier to be yourself when you can be someone else for a song or two, but Fred seems comfortable despite being an outcast, politically speaking. Athens is a blue oasis in a desert of Georgia red, and Go Bar tends to draw a particularly leftof-center crowd. Fred, though, is a lifelong Republican and a Donald Trump supporter.

“It’s not very easy to find Republicans who are into the music scene in Athens,” he says.

That’s true of this year especially. A recent Monmouth University poll found 70 percent of respondents saying this election has brought out the worst in people. Seven percent said it has cost them a friendship.

Fred’s relationship with Hedger, an outspoken Hillary Clinton stan, is holding strong. They’ve been friends since Fred started performing karaoke at Go Bar in 2004, and more so when he began hosting four years later. Though their banter can get heated—both are prone to gloating when a poll puts one’s candidate in a good light or a gaffe puts the other candidate in a bad one, and neither can resist engaging when the other brings it up—the arguments are mostly quarantined to Facebook threads, and never seem to spill over into real life.

The similarity of the two men’s senses of humor—both see electoral politics as mostly absurd—is a firewall for that compartmentalization, and they concede more common ground than their partisanship typically connotes.

“I don’t think Dr. Fred is one of the deplorables,” Hedger says. “I think he’s fiscally conservative and more socially liberal than he likes to let on. At least he’s a Trump

supporter who acknowledges the Earth is more than 6,000 years old.”

“There’s much more agreement on what the problems are than most people would like to admit,” Fred says. “I see the same problems that Democrats see. I just don’t see their solutions as being solutions.”

Go Bar has a reputation for being LGBTQ-friendly and inclusive of any community in need of a safe space. Hedger does not believe Fred compromises that status, even if he supports a candidate who, if taken at his word, will from his first day in office work to obliterate the freedom and basic humanity of the sorts of folks who need those safe spaces in the first place.

“We want a diverse clientele with diverse opinions,” Hedger says. “It makes it more interesting. We don’t want to be preaching

to the choir every day and night. No one is excluded, even if they’re a Trump supporter. We just laugh at them.”

You’ve no doubt heard people brand this election as the most important ever, but while its ramifications are many and deep, that same apocalyptic rhetoric seems to pop up every four years. For some people, singing “Let’s Dance” to a couple dozen people on a Thursday night is a higher priority.

“We’re here for the music,” Fred says. f

threats & promises

Squalle Has Something to Say Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com

Jeffrey Welbon

GOOD MORNING: With the release of his newest album, Black Picassoul, Squalle has set himself up as a proper heir to 1990s backpack rap. The record is true to that blend of lyrics that are clearly audible with beats that recall classic R&B with an array of jazz flavors, mostly pulling from fusion and easy listening. Squalle worked with several producers for this record, including Scarecrow Beats, Theo, Tunes, Paul Cabbin, Da Architekz Collective and Mykal Riley. Although the tradition of its style is generally one of positivity, selfimprovement and respect, an awakened mind and sense of community are its pillars. So while it may be tempting to get comfy in the the lyrics of “Shine” (“Shine bright/ Live life/ Even when it’s dark all around me/ I gotta shine”), it’s important to not ignore what Squalle says on “Proclamation”: “America don’t care about our murdered friends/ America don’t care about our stolen dreams.” All things considered, it’s a solid and welcome album that has arrived just on time. Check it out at dakid squalle.bandcamp.com.

Squalle SAKI TO ME: Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Lily Herne and her band spent most of September touring out West before returning to Athens and releasing their new album, Lady Murasaki, a couple of weeks ago. The record is centered on a Japanese aesthetic, from its name to its cover art, but succeeds musically in this direction most successfully on opening track “Taka.” Critically, the record hits bright peaks (“Mistress of the Setting Sun,” “Sugar From the Palace”), and although the songs don’t generally have the strength to support their length—everything is between five and 13 minutes—there’s a passable amount of solid, bar-rock psychedelia to make it listenable. For her part, Herne’s vocals are best when she’s direct and forceful (“O Tomodache”), but she has a tendency to devolve into a childish, singsongy, breathless area that is less charming than I’m sure is intended. For more information, see lilyherne.com.

FOUR FOR FIGHTING: It’s been a whole year since any new music came out from Athens rapper Louie Larceny, but he’s just released a fine new EP titled Abduction Sounds.

Larceny stands apart from much of his Athens rap brethren in that he composes his own beats. The sole exception on this new record is “White Magik,” for which old-school Athens talent Duddy Ken wrote what Larceny calls the “backbone” of the track and Larceny and engineer Joel Hatstat added embellishments. For the uninitiated, Larceny has one of the most solid and hard-hitting vocal flows in town, and thematically, he says this record focuses on “love and fear.” I need to give this a few more spins to totally absorb, but with lines like “Know that I’m a beast”—the main hook from “Blood Hunger”—I’m inclined to believe him. Check it out at louielarceny.bandcamp.com.

Larceny also has a feature on the track “Lush Lands,” from spaced-out Atlanta group Stockham Syndrome’s new album The Hammond Progression, and you can listen over at stockham syndrome.bandcamp.com.

COMING BACK TO TOWN TO HELP US PARTY DOWN: Tickets are on sale for the Drive-By Truckers’ annual run of 40 Watt shows. This homecoming series is dubbed the “HeAthens” shows, and will happen Feb. 16–18. The opening acts this time around, one for each date in order of appearance, are Thayer Sarrano; the Camp Amped Band and Trae Crowder (aka The Liberal Redneck); and The Hernies. For those traveling into town to catch these, the band has held a block of rooms at Hotel Indigo, and you can snag one for $149 per night if you use the code “DBT.” As is tradition, proceeds from these shows are donated to Nuçi’s Space. For tickets, see 40watt.com.

SNAP, CRACKLE: Indie-pop band Scooterbabe, which is starting to lean toward a mid-1990s emo-pop sound, will celebrate the release of its new album in a WUOG 90.5 FM-presented show at the Caledonia Lounge Friday, Nov. 4. Also on the bill are Dead Neighbors and Pansy. Most recently, Scooterbabe released the single “Sick Spine” from the new record, The Sorrow You’ve Been Toting Around. (See our review on this page.)

WINNER

VOTED ATHENS’ FAVORITE TATTOO STUDIO

record review Scooterbabe: The Sorrow You’ve Been Toting Around (Jigsaw/Perfect Attendance) Athens emo band Scooterbabe has long been on-again, offagain. Luckily, after a few hiatuses and member switches, the group is back, and its first official full-length, The Sorrow You’ve Been Toting Around, is set for release Nov. 4.

If you were a fan of Scooterbabe’s EPs—the self-titled effort and scooterbabe2@gmail.com (not an actual email address, btw)—Sorrow will hit you like an emotional train. With homages to previous songs and characters in nearly every track, Sorrow is a masterfully crafted story that draws on the failures of broken relationships and the importance of memories and moving forward.

With Sorrow, Scooterbabe has evolved in every sense. There’s maturity in the album’s lyrical direction and sound; it touches on serious topics while retaining the engaging, C86-esque twee vibe that first defined the band. The guitars are notable for their rhythmically smooth and refreshing flow (think Topshelf Records riffs), while creating melodies that often change mid-song into something completely different but equally as powerful. There are unexpected elements, too, including a violin part and guest backing vocals from singer-songwriter Jianna Justice.

Overall, Sorrow is a formidable addition to the Scooterbabe catalog that reminds one of the main thing Athens music has been missing: an honest look in the mirror. The record is the sonic accumulation of Scooterbabe’s heart and soul over the past year, and man, is it good. [Maria Lewczyk]

6 POOL TABLES 2 DART BOARDS â&#x20AC;˘ 5 TVs THE SOUTHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BEST JUKEBOX

INFERNO (PG-13) The first two movies in the Da Vinci Code/Robert Langdon/Dan Brown series (obviously, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to call it) have pretty much strayed from memory. Now the third book hits theaters.

All the talk about the first movie revolved around whether or not the bestseller was â&#x20AC;&#x153;adaptableâ&#x20AC;? and how bad Tom Hanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hair was (it was awful); now all I remember is the hair and Paul Bettany. I remember even less from its literary prequel/movie sequel.

What was Angels & Demons even about? I do recall that the Vatican was involved somehow, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that obvious?

Langdon is back in the Brown book that excited me most. (Danteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Divine Comedy is my favorite work of literature, bar none.)

Though I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care about the population-quelling conspiracy Langdon has to solve, the novel is the typically breathtaking, globe-trotting Brown thriller. Nothing particularly noteworthy, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint, either.

So, how is the movie version? Eh. Ron Howard directs Inferno with a workmanlike diligence, but the only memorable piece is the wild score by Hans Zimmer, which would not sound out of place had Dario

240 N. LUMPKIN ST. / 706-546-4742

the action, which just does not thrill. Even the chase amongst the rafters of the Palazzo Vecchio fails to ignite the thrills.

Inferno feels as if it is nothing more than a paycheck for all creative parties involved.

Unfortunately, Ben Foster has only minor involvement as billionaire geneticist Bertrand Zobrist, who plots to release a new Black Death that will cull a large chunk of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population. The movie could also have used a lot more of Irrfan Khan as the mysterious CEO of the private security company known as The Consortium.

So long as Brown keeps writing Langdon novels, I guess we can count on adaptations. Hopefully, they can be put in the hands of filmmakers with more creativity.

David Koeppâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s script is fine, but Howard directs this with all the zip of a TV movie.

He might as well have cast Noah Wyle and premiered it Sunday night on TNT. It is about time to retire Hanks as well; Langdon could use some fresh blood Ă la Jack Ryan (minus the age-shaving). Then again, Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor third Langdon novel, The Lost Symbol, is just sitting there waiting to be adapted. If it ever is, I hope it has more cinematic pep than the tired Inferno.

Argento directed a batshit crazy version of the novel. (That actually sounds like a lot of fun. He could cast Asia as the female lead and some C-lister like Michael Pare as a new Robert Langdon. But I digress.)

Instead, we get a steady Hollywood thriller with Hanks reprising his not-quiteright version of the Harvard professor and symbologist. Why have we hamstrung two dynamic literary heroesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Langdon and Jack Reacherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with the wrong Hollywood superstars? But Hanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ill casting does not ruin Inferno any more than it did its two predecessors; it merely weakens it.

Something feels off and cheap about Inferno, though; it could be the $75 million budget, which is half of what was spent on Angels & Demons. But these adaptations should not be about effects or spectacle.

They need to find a more intriguing, subjective way to portray Langdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superpower: his mind. Inferno rushes through Langdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most significant discoveriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Faraday device, the Dante Death Maskâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in favor of

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES (PG-13) A normal-ish Zach Galifianakis headlines this comedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quartetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he is joined by Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm and Gal Gadotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about a suburban couple suspicious that their beautiful new neighbors may be up to no good.

They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but Tim and Natalie Jones (Hamm and Gadot) are spies, a plot device that redeems Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Karen Gaffney from merely being a delusionally bad neighbor.

Sadly, the movie is only mildly amusing at its best, which is during the comic action, not the tired suburban satire. The staid Gaffneys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too far removed from the Fosters of Date Night. Director Greg Mottola got a lot more out of previous features Superbad, Adventureland and Paul, but those scriptsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg; Mottola himself; and Simon Pegg and Nick Frostâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;were leagues better than this one by Michael LeSieur. The cast is game; the script is lame. Who thought a full-on comedic adaptation of Mr. and Mrs. Smith would work? f

Georgia Theatre · 7 p.m. · $25 Cowboy Junkies have spent 30 years putting forth a blend of plaintive folk, classic country, acoustic blues and psychedelic rock, releasing more than a dozen records along the way.

The group’s placid music is often lumped in with the slowcore sound of the 1990s, though it’s more earnest Americana than detached gloom. The Junkies’ most recent release is the Notes Falling Slow box set, which collects the band’s first three albums of the 2000s, plus a bonus disc of unreleased material from the era. At the Theatre, they’ll play tunes from 1996’s Lay It Down, plus a set of songs

by Athens’ late Vic Chesnutt, with whom the group collaborated in the past and fêted with the Demons cover album in 2011. [Gabe Vodicka]

RSVP for Location · 3–5 p.m. · $10–15 WUGA’s final Artists in Residence event of the season visits the home of popular potter Maria Dondero. Soon after receiving her MFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art in 2008, she began operating a home studio called Marmalade Pottery. This January, she renovated an old heating and air manufacturer building into a gallery and work space she shares with several other ceramicists. Located nearby at 180 Cleveland Ave., Southern Star Studio will be open to tour in addition to her home. Potter Ron Meyers will speak about Dondero’s work at 3:30 p.m., and an in-studio interview with her will be broadcast prior to the event. RSVP by calling 706-542-9842 or emailing thaxtona@uga.edu.

Caledonia Lounge · 9 p.m. · $7–9 Since releasing his 1979 solo debut, Alchemy, Richard Lloyd’s no-frills rock arrangements have illustrated the former Television guitarist’s balance of spiritual and cerebral tunefulness. Songs such as “Number Nine,” from Alchemy, and “Only Friend,” from 2007’s Radiant Monkey, remain imaginative while challenging the expectations that come with being a chief architect of Television’s avant-garde style. These days, Lloyd calls Chattanooga, TN home. When he isn’t painting, he fronts a band featuring Athens guitarist Jason NeSmith (Casper & the Cookies), and Chattanoogans Terry Clouse and Jeff Brakebill.

After releasing a new album, Rosedale, the group plays Caledonia on Saturday. [Chad Radford]

close to you watch you unravel.

I’m medicated, and I also do talk therapy when I can afford it, and it’s made a huge difference in my relationships, self-image and quality of life. Your husband’s stuck in some kind of rut that he feels powerless to change, and unfortunately, he seems to be taking out his anger and frustrations on you. I mean, what else do you call it when he tells you to buzz off for asking him to help himself?

He probably does care about you to some degree, but it sounds like he’s in a place where he can’t care about much at all. The money/job issue is a huge red flag here. It sounds like he probably hates his job, and that hatred is exacerbated by the fact that it’s not paying him enough. Add to that an inability to find new work or get promoted, and you’ve got one angry man who feels weak and exploited. If money’s so tight

sion. He’s unhappy, but he’s comfortable with his bad job and joyless marriage. He needs a reminder that you have a right to happiness and love, too, and he’s not helping you feel either of those things.

Happiness doesn’t fall in our laps.

Sometimes we have to make it for ourselves, and that includes loving ourselves so we can better love others. Go on Craigslist and get a sublet, or find a fun homegirl to crash with. Make your return to the home conditional (for example, you’ll come back when he shows you his Fluoxetine prescription). I believe your marriage has a future, but your husband needs to take his health seriously in order to keep it intact. Don’t back down. f Need advice?
