As a cascade of local suburbs falls under the sway of far-right groups, the battle for control of the Fort Worth school district looms. B Y

S T A T I C

“I’ve been caught up in other people’s agendas,” reads a pinned message on James Whitfield’s Twitter page. “My only agenda is serving kids and making sure that every student walking those halls has access to a great education.” Grapevine-Colleyville’s school board recently voted to not renew Whitfield’s contract, a decision that effectively means termination. Whitfield’s supporters believe that the board’s vote signifies tacit support for a national right-wing effort to push back on racial equity work within public school systems. Last year, Whitfield, who was the high school’s first Black principal, penned an open letter to the Grapevine-Colleyville

Static When Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election, the press told her to go away. When Donald Trump lost reelection last year, the mainstream media scrambled to keep his name alive, breathlessly reporting on every press release to come from his hive of bloodsucking bootlickers based in the country’s flaccid dong, Florida. Reminder: Trump cannot tweet because all he did on Twitter was feed misinformation to his followers/ cultists, who now count among their sordid number nearly every Republican politician in our great republic in addition to steadfast true believer and unrepentant buzzkill Gov. Greg Abbott. Now Texas’ fearful leader is being dragged into supporting the Big Lie, that the former guy “won” the 2020 presidential election but was denied the White House through some sort of elder magic despite zero supporting evidence. Though I honestly don’t care enough to check — so many omphaloskeptic novels to read, so little time — I can only imagine the stories being bought and sold by and from conservatives to answer the question “How can something be true when

school community. Across the country, emotions were high following the murder of George Floyd that May. “Education is the key to stomping out ignorance, hate, and systemic racism,” Whitfield wrote at the time. “It’s a necessary conduit to get ‘liberty and justice for all.’ ” The letter was well received by the community at the time, Whitfield recently told the Texas Tribune. The principal was blindsided this summer when parents began trying to discredit him by using the letter and false narratives about Critical Race Theory (CRT), the academic framework for understanding the role of racism in American society and government. Reporting by the Texas Tribune, Daily Beast, and other publications found the accusations against Whitfield to be baseless. The fake controversy surrounding CRT, according to New York Times writer and noted author Wajahat Ali, is “pure projection” by a white supremacist movement that is emboldened by Donald Trump’s presidency and the slew of Republican leaders who have embraced lies about the “stolen” 2020 presidential election and other false narratives as a means of clinging to power. you can’t see, touch, taste, smell, or feel it?” Unless you’re talking about faith, the answer is, “It can’t, you dumb dummy!” Voter fraud!, the Repubs howl. The truth? “Voter fraud” is so minimal it doesn’t even statistically matter. Faulty machines!, they roar. Again, even Republican voting agents examined every unit and came up with nada. Jewish space lasers changing votes! I mean, it would be funny if it weren’t actually something the former guy would tweet. I mean, something he would “press release.” Good lord, such a loser. There’s no getting through to them in much the same way Greg Abbott will continue Greg Abbotting, and if there’s one thing Greg Abbott loves more than making excuses for the Houston Asterisks or not fixing power grids, it’s kissing Donald Trump’s pasty-white satchel-ass. Last week, Greg received an open letter from the twice-impeached, one-term likely rapist, saying, “Let’s get to the bottom of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam!” Without a whiff of evidence, Trump went on to say that “Texans know voting fraud occurred in some of their counties.” Abbott has not replied publicly, but like a mongrel staring up at the last French fry in your greasy mitt, the Secretary of State’s office, which oversees Texas elections, immediately announced a “full and comprehensive forensic audit” in four

The Southlake Playbook

METROPOLIS An attendee of the recent Rally for a New FWISD Superintendent holds a poster that calls for Kent Scribner’s ouster.

“Projection is an unconscious selfdefense mechanism in which people attribute their worst motives and inclinations to others,” Ali wrote for Daily Beast. “It allows the person to avoid responsibility as of the state’s most populous counties: red-leaning Tarrant and Collin and solidly blue Dallas and Harris. President Joe Biden won Dallas and Harris easily and even took Tarrant (no shit) by two-tenths of a percent. Collin went for the former guy by a lot. Isn’t there a church on every corner in Collin County? Have any of their parishioners ever even read the Bible? I’m sure there’s something in there about attacking women and sinking casinos and being an overall shit-heel. Anyway, the big question derived from the Big Lie is why the former guy is forcing Abbott, and Texas, to pay for and go through the laborious process of recounting a vote that the orange snowflake won by over 5%? And in a state whose election was smooth and, like every other election in all 49 other states, convincingly fraud-free? When I think of remaining relevant, my mind first turns to my family. What can I do to serve them better? I also think about my job and my friends and extended family. How can I matter to them? When the former guy thinks about remaining relevant, it’s only for political points — political points, mind you, that he can translate into more profits for his brand. That’s all he cares about. He couldn’t care less about policy or you and me. Money. Becoming richer. That’s it. And grifting is easy when the entire mainstream media

well as feelings of guilt and wrongdoing.” As egregious as Whitefield’s mistreatment was, no North Texas school district has seen the level of sophisticated attacks on racial equity work that Southlake has. Many of the tactics used by powerbrokers in the tony suburb in Northeast Tarrant County are beginning to surface in Fort Worth, one current Fort Worth school district employee told us. Last year, Carroll school district’s seven board members, who govern Southlake’s public school system, were preparing to review and potentially implement the district’s Cultural Competence Action Plan (CCAP), which is effectively a road map for addressing lingering racism in the school district. Multiple viral videos of Southlake high school students chanting the n-word in 2018 and 2019 put Southlake in the national spotlight. Reactionary and affluent Southlake parents were able to effectively halt the implementation of CCAP by targeting alleged violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act, the state law that dictates how boards discuss matters of public interest, by school board members. After pooling

Pretty weird that anyone would have interest in a credibly accused rapist, proven racist, and compromised mushroomdicked Russian asset who, when not lusting after his own daughter, bankrupted a casino (don’t those things essentially print money?), sprung 5,000 Taliban soldiers from prison, and spent 9/11 announcing a boxing match. So weird, right? It’s like we have no idea how human nature works or where water comes from. It’s like we have no idea how the mainstream media works and how desperate The New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, and others are to remain relevant. Do better. Dig deeper, hacks, and just ignore the squeaky orange wheel.

On the day of the Women’s March for abortion, it threatened to rain down on everyone. Luckily, the storm clouds dissipated, and the remaining humidity didn’t slow down the thousands of Texans flocking to the Tarrant County Courthouse. So many people of different ages, races, and backgrounds really came together for one mission: to spread the message that abortion is basic health care and women should be in control of their own bodies. It was shown through the way people dressed, made signs, and chanted, “My body, my choice!” together. The rally had a diverse group of speakers that represented the political and personal sides of abortion. Many protesters met their speeches with understanding, enthusiasm, and cheers. Even the small group of naysayers couldn’t stop the real power and community which were present at the Women’s March for abortion. The huge participation of so many Texans was proof that many do not support Texas’ SB 8 antiabortion bill and are ready to vote out the old male politicians who cre-

Texans’ Boots Are Made for Marching

[perceived successes] in the suburbs made them rise up.” Speaking to one of our reporters in July, longtime educator Shawn Lassiter echoed much of what the school district employee told us. After several years of work as a Fort Worth school district administrator, Lassiter was hired by Leadership ISD in 2019 as the nonprofit’s chief of equity and innovation. Leadership ISD trains school leaders on effective equity practices and has worked with several current Fort Worth schools. “We have been preparing for this type of backlash for a long time,” she said. “If anything, Texas loves to lead the way in stuff like this. We are continuing to build our coalition. We continue to do our work. We are in it for the long haul. I don’t know if the other group is. I think that the [uproar over CRT] will fade away, but it will shape up in another way. It’s about racism. It’s about separating people. It’s about not wanting to tell the truth about history.” l

ate these anti-choice laws. The hundreds of thousands of Americans who marched throughout the entire country in solidarity made the day even more special. These politicians finally need to recognize that real change happens when we all come together. It was so good to see that in person as I marched myself. While I walked alongside this varied group of people, I noticed the older women walking with canes, carrying signs stating they have been fighting for abortion rights for decades. I saw men walking with their wives with signs saying, “I stand with her.” Entire families of different generations walking together to stand up for abortion. Lots of teenagers filled with righteous anger talking about the world that they are inheriting and that they will do the most to change that. Many women carrying babies on their hips as they marched for the right to choose for every woman. As we all got to the end, there was a collective reminder that there are many Texans who value the freedom of choices regarding abortion. I felt the Women’s March represented the best of our state’s fabled independence and citizens using their voices to speak up for the countless women who really need us to fight for them. That day I was proud of Texas in a way I have not been in a very long time.

on Carroll school district’s CCAP. Photos from the event show attendees holding posters that read, “It’s time for change. Fire Scribner.” Fort Worth’s school board recently voted to renew the superintendent’s contract. The school district employee said the upcoming Nov. 2 school bond election offers further ammunition for proponents of CRT misinformation to attack the Fort Wort school district. The $1.49 billion bond package includes four separate propositions that are focused on updating the district’s middle schools. Information about the bond can be found at FWISD. org/Bond. Discrediting the Fort Worth school district paves the way for flipping board seats in favor of elected officials who are willing to push back against racial equity and pro-LGBTQ+ school policies, the employee said. Currently, he continued, only board members Roxanne Martinez, Quinton Phillips, and Jacinto Ramos understand the ideological battle that Fort Worth’s public schools will face in the coming months and years. “You have people with lots of money who don’t like the progressive turn of the last five, six years with regards to equity and gender issues,” he said. “I think the

superintendent and the district’s lackluster academic ratings, the employee alleges. The district currently has an overall grade of “C,” according to state accountability ratings. Indeed, public comments by parents at school board meetings frequently weave accusations that CRT is taught in school with criticisms of local public school performance. Around 40 parents rallied in late August to rebuke Superintendent Kent Scribner’s performance. “The biggest problem that the [district] is facing is failing student performance,” said Carlos Turcios, one of the event’s organizers, during the August meeting. A cursory glance at Turcios’ Facebook page showed that he attended a recent “Rally for a New FWISD Superintendent!” The post does not mention the exact location and date of the event, but it does list O’Hare as one of the speakers. O’Hare’s press releases are a trove of lies about his opponent, former Mayor Betsy Price, who is widely expected to trounce O’Hare in the upcoming March Republican primary (“Splitting Hares,” Aug 11). One former Southlake elected official described O’Hare as the mastermind behind the successful effort to halt progress

funds through Southlake Families PAC, which was founded by current county commissioner Tim O’Hare, a tight-knit and well-connected cohort of Republicans filed a lawsuit against Carroll school district that resulted in an ongoing restraining order that prohibits the school board from discussing CCAP and race-related topics (“Right-Wing Extremists Taking Over Carroll School District?” Sep. 15). “Three years ago, [the radicalized right] would not have thought they could be that vocal against” the racial equity work Fort Worth school district is also conducting, the employee told us on condition of anonymity. “After Southlake, that all changed.” Since 2016, the Fort Worth school district has made significant strides in drafting and implementing racial equity language in school policy. The school district’s Racial Equity Committee has actively provided advice to the school board for the past five years. In 2020, the board unanimously passed a resolution that stated that the school district “has the power and the duty to be part of the solution to dismantle institutional racism on behalf of the children we serve and the community in which we all live.” Rather than openly attack those initiatives, critics of equity and inclusion are going after Fort Worth school district’s

I watched Jordan Peele’s Candyman the other night, and it freaked me out. Especially as a Texan. Can acts of injustice curse a place? Can acts of monstrosity — as Peele et al. suggest — stain a community? A quasi-sequel to the 1992 film of the same name, Candyman explores the affirmative answer to these questions. And that’s what scares me. Over the last several years, I’ve researched and written about numerous acts of injustice and monstrosity in Texas. And, no, “monstrosity” is not too strong a word. In 2014, The History Press published my second book. The 1910 Slocum Massacre: An Act of Genocide in East Texas explored the history behind a wholesale slaughter of African Americans that occurred just south of Palestine, Texas, in the early 20th century. The number of casualties far exceeded those of the Rosewood Massacre in Florida in 1923 and rivaled those of the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921. And hardly anyone in Texas had ever even heard of it. In 2015, I followed up the Slocum Massacre book with Black Holocaust: The Paris Horror and a Legacy of Texas Terror, released by Eakin Press. The term “holocaust” was too strong for my first publisher, and probably too controversial in general, but I felt I owed it to the subject matter. Between 1861 and 1933, more than 40 Black men were burned at the stake in Texas. And not like the witches who were burned at the stake in Salem, Massachusetts — because that never happened — but like real, living, breathing human beings — and fellow Texans — burned at the stake, often in front of cheering white folks. Cheering. White. Folks. Four black men were burned at the stake in the Paris area, three in Sulphur Springs, three in Kirven, two in Waco, at least two in in Tyler, one in Rockwall, one in Hillsboro, one in Temple, one in Belton, one in Conroe, one in Sherman, one in Texarkana, one in Corsicana, one in Greenville, and so on. And some of these cases involved levels of evil and depravity that make the Candyman plotlines pale (pardon the pun) in comparison. In Paris in 1893, a mob of thousands watched on as Henry Smith — a Black man suspected of raping and killing a white toddler — was tortured with red hot iron pokers for 45 minutes (by the infant’s father and older brother) before being gruesomely burned to a crisp. They peeled away the skin on his arms, legs, back, and abdomen by rolling the searing pokers on contact, reheating them as necessary, and then used them to boil away his eyeballs and burn out his tongue. The white crowd cheered the vicious cruelty and raucously jeered the Black suspect’s moans of pain and suffering. The Paris mayor even canceled school for the day so the community’s children could view the spectacle with their parents. In 1895, the citizens of Tyler denied Henry Hillard — a Black man suspected of raping and killing a white woman — due

Say Their Names

process and burned him at the stake in front a mob of thousands, partially extinguishing and then reviving the flames so as to extend the effect and general excruciation of the torture to entertain and appease white onlookers. After futilely begging his tormentors to put him out of his misery, Hillard began attempting to bash his own brains out by slamming the back of his head against the iron rail he was affixed to. In 1915, the citizens of Waco witnessed the ghastly burning at the stake of Jesse Washington, a mentally handicapped Black man suspected of killing a white woman, in full view of the mayor and the local police. The perpetrating mob castrated Washington on the way to the stake and also cut off his fingers. Then, after several times being raised and lowered into the flames for the greatest effect as he was burned alive, Washington began trying to escape his hellish fate by climbing the chain with fingerless hands. And these are just a fraction of the dozens of macabre atrocities that make the origins of Candyman seem tame. Texans, our forebears, committed atrocities in front of cheering white neighbors. And then creating lynching postcards and stereographic viewing sets to celebrate and commemorate these horrific events, which — don’t kid yourself — many of our greatgreat-great grandads and kinfolk jovially referred to as “roasts” and “barbecues.” Mr. Peele and his associates, and their predecessors, touch on something fundamentally raw here, something largely unheralded and involving injuries long concealed and clearly unhealed. I’d urge fellow Texans to refrain from the namesake character’s game, because the facts in Texas are darker than the fiction in Candyman. That’s why conservatives don’t want the truth taught in schools. — E.R. Bills E.R.

but he looks good when healthy. You’d hate to see him put it all together for another team, especially during another rebuilding year. Outfielder D.J. Peters showed flashes of why he’s been hailed as the next Nelson Cruz — a late bloomer with mutant power. Second baseman Justin Solak didn’t blossom the way fans hoped, but was also one of the club’s steadiest, if dullest, performers. He may be relegated to a bench role going forward, but at least manager Chris Woodward knows he won’t embarrass the team. One-time super prospect Leody Taveras showed glimpses of why he was so highly touted. He brandishes the best glove on the team. If he can find consistency at the plate, he’ll be a weapon. Pitchers Jonathan Hernandez, John King, Brett Martin, Josh Sborz, and Nick Snyder will all have a decent opportunity at bullpen spots. Hernandez was a stud until injuries robbed him of his 2021 campaign. Starter A.J. Alexy cooled down after a sensational start, but he still flashed enough stuff to get major league hitters out. One-time top prospect Spencer Howard regained his fastball velocity after an injury, and he’ll be given a chance to make the mid-season trade that brought him to Arlington look like the steal many of us thought it was at the time. Despite my misgivings, the front office has promised to be active in free agency this offseason. Whether or not they can convince top-tier talent to

come be part of a rebuild will likely define the offseason and the team’s record next year. If you want to be optimistic about this franchise, just focus your gaze on the farm. Third baseman Josh Jung was only just promoted to AAA, and he looks to be every bit a star. He’ll have to burn an orphanage or lose a leg not to be given the nod at the hot corner next season. Pitching ace Cole Winn is also coming fast. He’s cleaning up in AAA at age 21, and he’ll likely have a taste of camp life next year. Catcher Sam Huff and second baseman Justin Foscue have very little left to prove in the minors. They’ll see Arlington by year’s end. General manager Chris Young and president John Daniels have set themselves up for an intense game of 40-man roster Tetris, with what looks to be about 12 players vying for roughly five or six spots. Some wellknown names — at least to us nerds who follow the minors and prospect rankings — will likely be out of the organization. That’s a good thing, to paraphrase Martha Stewart. All of that is to say, next season’s team should look dramatically different from the one that just lost 102 games. Will they suck? Probably. But, for now, the goal is progress. And if we’re lucky, the team will rise to the level of sweet, comfortable mediocrity again. At least then, we’ll know how to feel. l

OCTOBER 6-12, 2021

To say the Rangers’ season ended with a whimper might be overstating the team’s emotional investment in their 6-0 loss at the hands of the Cleveland Indians/ Guardians. That finale felt more like a bored preteen scrolling to the next TikTok video than a group of allegedly elite athletes fighting ’til the bitter end. This year was always going to be rough, especially after the front office officially embraced the R word. As North Texas sports fans, we’ve grown accustomed to mediocrity — mostly because the Rangers and Cowboys have traditionally refused to undertake a full-on rebuild — but we’re not used to this level of septic toilet water from our teams. It’s tough to know how to feel about what we as baseball fans just lived through. Watching your sports heroes lose 102 games hurts. Hoping individual players develop into competent bigleaguers — instead of rooting for a win — is a strange way to watch a game. Knowing the team has sucked, currently sucks, and will almost certainly suck again requires a level of trust and patience from fans that no local organization outside of the Dallas Stars has earned. And yet here we are. What do the Rangers have to give us fans some hope? A lot, actually. The team is still at least two years away from being competitive, but even the most cynical fan has to acknowledge the slivers of light peeking through the closed vault. A few players emerged, and the once floundering farm system appears to be producing highlevel talent. This season cemented the fates of position players Adolis Garcia, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Nathaniel Lowe as good players. On the pitching side, bullpen ace Joe Barlow and starters Dane Dunning and Taylor Hearn established themselves as at least decent, with a chance to be pretty good. All six players belong in the show, and they are locks to be on the 25-man roster next season — barring injury, of course. Other guys have earned a shot to stick around.

The Amon Carter’s new show plumbs the Gentlings’ many interests, including birds. K R I S T I A N

L I N

When you’re not a North Texas native, you hear the name “Gentling” with a hard initial “g” bandied around the art scene without it meaning very much. Most of the major exhibitions of Scott Gentling (1942-2011) and Stuart Gentling (1942-2006) took place decades ago. I knew the fraternal twin brothers as the artists behind their mammoth Of Birds and Texas series, stemming from a selfpublished book in 1986. Now, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art offers the retrospective Imagined Realism that shows the brothers to be far more than that. Where other artists pick a specialty and stick to it, I’m fascinated by artists like these who advance in all directions at once.

Among Audubon did. However, there’s enough their Texas landscapes, Scott’s “Cathedral” here to show the artists evolving over from 2002 shows then-President George time. The 1997 painting of a snowy owl

against a black background has a vividness not seen in the earlier paintings. You feel like it might turn its head to look at you. Besides birds, the Gentlings also painted insects, organizing them on the paper like specimens pinned to a collection board. Many of the portraits here (like the one of Bush) were commissioned by wealthy and notable individuals and accepted so the Gentlings could earn their living. Sometimes individual elements pop out, like the electric blue blouse in the 1985 portrait of Kit Moncrief, the philanthropist and wife of the oilman and former mayor Mike Moncrief. A deeper achievement is the 1976 portrait of Brent Hyder, which captures the serenity of the long-haired, bearded young man with his arms casually crossed. (The doorway behind him and the room beyond containing a helmet were added 10 years later.) However, not all the portraits here were done for money. The twins’ early paintings like “Rain Crows” and “Eddy” are pictures of Eddy and Clemmie McGary, poor sharecroppers from East Texas, that were done with the same attention to physical detail and character. The show also has student works such as Scott’s 1965 self-portrait, an abortive foray into oil painting, as well as a colored pencil portrait of William Faulkner, an author whom the brothers had been obsessed continued on page 12

primatologist visited North Texas in 1990. The brothers begged her to sit for the unorthodox painting, where she’s placed off center on the left side of the composition and facing away from the viewer. After she had departed, the artists filled in the right side with a chimpanzee skull placed on a table, a touch that delighted Goodall when she saw the finished work. The exhibit also boasts some imposing pencil portraits of fellow artists who shared the Gentlings’ hobbies. Andrew Wyeth, like the Gentlings, collected historical outfits, and the museum’s own collection yields Scott’s drawing of Wyeth dressed in a tri-corner hat and a long waistcoat, where the pencil even captures the delicate lacework around the coat buttons. Some of these garments are on display as well, clothes made fragile by time and showing how small and thin their wearers were. A painting of red coats from French and British military units makes for an intriguing study of color. Ed Ruscha, another painter with a national profile who befriended the brothers, contributes a foreword to the book of the exhibit and also appears as the subject of a pencil portrait, wearing an ornate green velvet coat and a bicorne hat like Napoleon’s. The other big pencil portrait is one of Ludwig van Beethoven, which Scott claimed came from a dream in which the great composer sat for him. The sketch captures the man’s stormy personality

and pockmarked skin, and it’s a better picture of the man than the Gentlings’ 1960 painting of him in the museum’s collection, which is not in the exhibit. If you don’t know about the Gentlings’ work for Bass Hall, you might not guess that they were avid fans of classical music who learned to play instruments later in life. The show contains a selection of their miniature portraits of Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Copland, and others, which they made for their own amusement. More impressive are the largescale still-life paintings of stringed instruments. Without oil paint, it’s hard to capture the particular sheen given off by

who can be interviewed), the Gentlings’ imaginations were kindled by the splendor of the great empire to the south. In particular, they wanted to evoke the Aztec cities, which so dazzled the Spanish conquistadors that they thought

they were hallucinating. The people they regarded as savages had built sprawling, clean metropolises of gleaming white stone buildings trimmed with cochineal red, a pigment made of crushed insects that produced a color more vivid than any red

dye in Europe at the time. That’s not the only red that shows up in the Gentlings’ paintings and models, as they depict the pyramids to the Aztec gods as stained with the blood of human sacrifices. The vistas of “The Great Sacred Square of Tenochtitlán” and “Distant View of Tlatelolco” (with its irrigation canals cutting across the city) are eye-catching, and they’re accompanied by models built by Scott as studies for the paintings. Still, don’t overlook the interiors of temples that the Gentlings depicted using their knowledge and acquisition of Aztec artifacts. Where their information was lacking, the artists substituted their own imagination. Inevitably, subsequent research proved some of their assumptions wrong while others held up. Even so, these paintings’ vibrant colors help depict the magnificence of this culture before it was destroyed by the Spaniards. All this goes to prove that the Gentlings were multifarious creatures. While some of their works could fairly be called “realist,” they rejected that label for themselves, and if they were Texas artists, their subjects ranged well beyond the state’s borders or even the American Southwest. Ignoring the modernist and postmodernist trends that washed over the larger art world in their time, Scott and Stuart Gentling followed their own creative star, and Imagined Realism gives us an overview of where it took them during a long and prolific career. l

the varnished wood of violins and cellos, but the Gentlings’ watercolors render it quite well. The Bass family selected the Gentlings to paint the trompe l’œil domed ceiling of Bass Hall depicting the open sky. The exhibit contains a study for that ceiling. If only we could see some of the brothers’ mural designs for the concert hall’s walls, which went unused. (What can I say? In a big civic architectural project, work done by contracted artisans will always go by the boards.) The most revelatory part of the show relates to the Gentlings’ work with Aztec culture, which was fired when Stuart saw the collection of Aztec art and artifacts at Tulane. (Even before that, the Gentlings were enthralled by Henry King’s 1947 film Captain from Castile, which was presented in color and shot on location in Michoacán, both unusual for Hollywood movies of that time.) Stuart became absorbed enough in the ancient culture to learn their language, Nahuatl. The Gentlings made several trips to Mexico to conduct research at the site and painted “Eagle and Cactus,” a striking portrait of a golden eagle holding a rattlesnake in its talon, much like the one in the center of Mexico’s flag. They intended their work to become a project as massive as Of Birds and Texas, but it never came to fruition during their lifetimes. While most self-described Western artists focus on tribes that are native to their own area (and have surviving members

came with only cheese and meat. The sourdough bread was thick and toasted and had a nice crunch. Large portions of tender, stringy beef made the sandwich both pleasing and filling. The soup was lighter in texture than I imagined a beerinfused cheese soup would be. The fluffy texture, rich cheddar flavor, mild heat from the sriracha, and bits of veggies made the dish a winner. The main attraction came last. I split my pizza 50-50 between the Little Piggy and Brown Sugar. The high heat of the wood-fired oven left a nice char on the dough without overcooking it. Each bite of the Brown Sugar was a delight. The scamorza cheese, which has a light texture and mozzarella-like flavor, was covered with pepperoni, spicy Tuscan peppers, chunks of tart pineapple, and chopped basil. The mild cheese put the peppers and pineapple front and center. This was my third trip to Bankhead Brewing and admittedly my third time to order the Little Piggy. It may be the reduced balsamic vinegar, sweet bits of fig, generous cuts of pork, or the thick bed of cheese, but the Little Piggy is one of the best pizzas in town. I snagged a crowler of beer to go and cracked open the Mile Marker 13 later that evening. The 6.1% ABV New England IPA was hazy with a medium body and mild tangerine notes. Bankhead Brewing doesn’t beat you over the head with its beer selection. The lunch and dinner options are well-executed and delicious — with or without the craft brews. l

brewing equipment and custom pizza oven intact, the locked-up building waited a full year for its next tenant. Newcomer Bankhead Brewing Co. has made great use of the restaurant’s spacious layout while completely reinventing the menu, beer selection, and overall experience. The central bar still welcomes hopheads who want to enjoy a frothy pint of ale while catching a game or gabbing with friends. While Funkytown Fermatorium pushed beer, Bankhead Brewing offers a more well-rounded drinking experience with original cocktails and ample vino offerings. The menu boasts rotating specials like ribeye steaks and a vast selection of shareable plates, pizzas, burgers, entrees, and salads. On a recent visit, the stuffed avocados were firm and flavorful. Each large wedge was filled with an avocado seed-sized “brisket ball” that had a decent amount of meat and the consistency of a hush puppy. The light lingering heat left by the chipotle aioli was cooled by drizzles of cilantro sour cream and a medley of fresh pico de gallo. The salt and pepper calamari were perfectly cooked. I’m typically a fan of lightly battered seafood that doesn’t obscure the meat, but the hearty morsels were filling and (as advertised) heavily peppered. In lieu of the typical obligatory side of marinara was a tomato marmalade that was mildly sweet — the perfect side for the peppery cuts of squid. Bankhead Brewing offers several hamburgers, but I sprung for a half serving of the grilled cheese and brisket sandwich, which I ordered with a half serving of beer sriracha cheese soup.

With the release of her debut EP, the singersongwriter looks back on where she was and how far she’s come.

Owens: “Singing on TV and singing live are two very different things.”

the ideal vehicle to channel the emotions Owens is working through in her songs. “I think that lots of people struggle with different things that make them sad,” she said. “Everybody goes through heartbreak. Everybody goes through mental health issues. Everybody struggles, and I wanted to make music that made people feel they had something to relate to, that they weren’t just crazy and on their own.” However, the self-described “very happy person that sometimes has very sad thoughts” doesn’t dwell on the pain that inspired some of the writing on Time. Instead, she said, she sees those feelings as a sort of road marker along her path of personal development. “I still totally resonate with what I’m singing about and what I’m saying,” she said of the material, “but I’m also really proud of myself that I’m not in those places anymore. I see it as evidence of how I continue to grow physically, and personally, and to be able to do these things to be healthy and happy.” One might say Owens was destined to be a performer. As a child, she was a regular cast member on the children’s

Personal growth seems to be a theme lately for Hannah Owens. The last few years have brought about a lot of change, to say the least. The stresses we’ve collectively shared over the last 18 months alone are enough to put anyone into a fugue state. Add in the complications of relationships and changing homes, the challenges can seem to pile on pretty thickly, and all the emotions that accompany such difficulties can weigh heavily. Luckily for Owens, she’s found an outlet to help exorcise some of those feelings to avoid being buried by them. “I had just gone through a breakup, and I was alone and had this empty apartment,” the singer-songwriter explained, “I wrote [the song] ‘Two Spoons’ about some of those feelings. It came from such a vulnerable and, honestly, a very sad place. When I was done with the song, I was still feeling the things that the song was about, but I had also kind of released them. That felt great. I wanted to keep doing that.” So she did keep doing it, and a few of those songs she’s written as a form of personal therapy make up her debut EP. Time Between was released last week. Through the EP’s six sweeping tracks — including the aforementioned “Two Spoons” — Owens offers a unique and graceful sound, blending her everso-slightly country-tinged vocal delivery over minor blues electric guitar and an immersive, dramatic, almost dream pop production. Owens’ full and confident voice still manages to convey a sincere vulnerability, delivered with unashamed directness. With her elegant tone nestled in producer Ryan Tharp’s shimmering musical accompaniment, the outcome is

MUSIC The Growth show Barney and Friends, an experience that she admits, as a working child, probably forced her to grow up a bit faster than she would have wanted but that also is one she’s forever grateful for. In a roundabout way, it also helped prepare her for her career as a musician. “Singing on TV and singing live are two very different things,” she said. “Not to mention, now I’m writing about my own feelings and singing about them in front of people, which can be terrifying,” she added with a laugh. After a short stint in Los Angeles pursuing an acting career as a young adult, Owens returned home to Fort Worth and discovered the city’s burgeoning music community and found a new home within it. After performing as a vocalist in local bluegrass outfit Wandering Daisy in the mid-teens, Owens learned to play guitar and began writing her own material, some of which found its way onto the album. Coincidentally, a disdain for her time in L.A. helped forge a bond between her and Tharp, who has his own gripes about Tinseltown, as he spends his time between there and Texas for his own music career. It seemed fitting that the Tharp-composed track “L.A.,” with its refrain of “I don’t want to live in L.A.,” would be included on the EP as well. With a delayed release of more than a year and a half (Owens received her initial masters just three days before COVID changed the world forever), the singersongwriter is excited to finally have the album heard. It appears listeners are resonating with the same emotion that Owens tried to work through in the songs. “I have felt the most loved,” she said of the EP’s response. “I think the response to the record has been more than I could have hoped for. I knew I was really proud of it, and it’s really dramatic and profound, and those are the things people seem to be getting out of it. I’ve gotten a lot of love, and that’s great because I put a lot of love and heartache and time into making it.” l

I had always considered myself a firm cardcarrying member of Team Paul until I was asked to name my Top 5 Beatles tunes by my brother-in-law. This was a few months ago. The two of us had been drinking, as bro-bros are wont to do, but while we had put to bed many super-important issues on this night, it’s not like we had totally run out of stuff to talk about. Alien? Better special effects than The Thing, which came out after it — how is that possible? Poor NFL officiating? Maybe if the refs got paid more, they wouldn’t suck as badly. Top 5 Beatles songs? You’ll have to gimme a minute, brah.

George’s rigid riffs or a particularly slippyskippy Ringo fill, but the question came to me, and after easily ticking off “Let It Be” and “Get Back,” the other three were all John. My brother-in-law agreed. “Paul wrote little ditties,” he said flatly. “John wrote real songs.” Not to start a fight, well, at least not a big one, but isn’t catchiness as worthy an attribute in a pop song as strong lyrical content? If not worthier? Are we counting solo stuff, too? Clearly, Paul wins there, but what about “Instant Karma”? It’s a better tune than most of what Paul/Wings put out, including “Maybe I’m Amazed”? Aggh! So confused. Beer me. The good news, and there’s always good news in this column, is that we can love them all, and if you’re as silly with the Fab Four as much as I am, I can tell you what you’ll be doing 6pm-10:30pm Wed, Oct 6.

From 8pm to 10pm Thu, The Post at River East (2925 Race St, 817-945-8890) presents an evening with Chris Pierce. The singer-songwriter is a pretty big deal, probably best known for his cowrite “We Can Always Come Back to This” from the great NBC drama This Is Us and his acoustic version of “No One” from ABC’s A Million Little Things. One of his collaborations with Sunny War, “Amen,” was also featured on World Cafe and has notched more than 2 million spins on Spotify. Pierce has a new album out, American Silence, and it’s received good press from Rolling Stone and NPR Music, among others. Seating to his Post show is “very” limited, the venue says. Without any tables sold at the door, you’ve got to buy them in advance. Tickets, at Eventbrite, are $20-80.
