New Orleans’ week in Twitter C. Ray Nagin @RayNagin
Throughout his long and distinguished career, Maginnis had a gift for writing about the intricacies of Louisiana politics in terms that professionals and amateurs alike could understand and appreciate. Above all, he never lost sight of the fact that politics is a human exercise. His columns always focused on the human side of the story — often with a humorous twist that complemented the facts without overshadowing them. National media often dwell on the “colorful” side of Louisiana politics to the point of losing their focus or distorting the facts. Maginnis wove political personalities into his columns as a way of adding context without sacrificing accuracy. I first met Maginnis during the 1979 governor’s race. I was working then for The Times-Picayune and he for Gris-Gris. We met one day while shadowing then-Public Service Commissioner Louis Lambert in his runoff campaign against then-Congressman Dave Treen. From the start, Maginnis impressed me with his insight and humor. On the evening of the day we met, a mutual friend at the Baton Rouge Morning Advocate hosted what turned into an all-night party, and I wound up crashing on the friend’s living room sofa. The next morning, Maginnis came by to pick me up. He remembered that my car was still in Gonzales, and he offered to give me a lift. I knew then that I had made a friend for life. Over the years, I had the great fortune to spend many occasions with Maginnis at the state Capitol, on the campaign trail or on panels discussing our state’s unique political culture. Even the shortest encounter with him was a learning experience. To friend and stranger alike, Maginnis generously shared his vast knowledge and matchless take on Louisiana politics. PAGE 9

ll who follow Louisiana politics lost a great friend May 25 with the death in New Orleans of John Maginnis, the veteran political columnist and publisher of LaPolitics Weekly, at the age of 66. For four decades, Maginnis had no peer when it came to dissecting, analyzing and explaining Louisiana politics. His columns and speeches combined equal measures of humor, insight and accuracy. If Maginnis printed it or said it, you could count it as gospel, yet he never boasted or put on airs. In recent months Maginnis battled a form of leukemia, said friend and business partner Jeremy Alford, also a Baton Rouge-based political columnist, LaPolitics editor and Gambit contributor. Last week, Alford officially succeeded Maginnis as publisher of LaPolitics. Maginnis suffered a mild heart attack several years ago and endured his most recent illness privately, Alford told Gambit. Despite his illness, Alford said, Maginnis’ death caught everyone by surprise. “You always think there’s more time,” Alford said. To me, Maginnis was the Tim Russert of Louisiana — his comments were always the most authoritative and the most respected by journalists and politicians alike. He consistently approached his subject and those who played the game with respect, humility and objectivity. Alford noted in a LaPolitics statement announcing Maginnis’ death that whenever someone complimented Maginnis’ work, he would respond, “I owe it all to the material.” To that, Alford added, “Those who knew him best, however, knew better.” Maginnis wrote three books about Louisiana politics — The Last Hayride, which chronicled Edwin Edwards’ victory over incumbent Gov. Dave Treen in 1983; Cross To Bear, about Edwards’ win over former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in 1991; and The Politics of Reform, a history of the first 50 years of the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana (PAR) in 2000. His syndicated political columns appeared in 21 newspapers across Louisiana. The LaPolitics statement noted that Maginnis’ long career in journalism began as a paper boy for his hometown Baton Rouge’s afternoon newspaper, The State-Times. He graduated from LSU with a degree in journalism and in 2000 was inducted into the LSU Manship School of Mass Communications’ Hall of Fame. He joined the U.S. Navy after college, and upon his return to Baton Rouge in 1972 he and friends co-founded Gris-Gris, a weekly tabloid that featured his hallmark political columns. Years later he founded The Louisiana Political Review, which evolved into the digital LaPolitics Weekly.

informed discussion of the colorful events, players and shenanigans that make up Louisiana politics. In his clear and authoritative trademark style, John uplifted us with gifted writing and a sophisticated understanding of Louisiana’s complicated and confounding political and legislative scene. He understood the vital importance of both personality and policy in Louisiana politics, and he did it all with a warm and infectious sense of humor.” Louisiana politicians likewise expressed sadness at John’s passing and admiration for his work. Edwards, who was probably Maginnis’ most frequent (and favorite) subject, told The Times-Picayune that Maginnis “treated all politicians the same. He didn’t play favorites with elected officials. We were antagonists from the beginning. In spite of all the things he said about me, he said them well.” State Senate President John Alario likewise told The T-P that Maginnis’ death was “a terrible loss for the state. … He had lots of sources because people trusted him.” Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a statement that Maginnis “had an incredible gift that enabled him to uncover stories and narratives that no one was talking about, but would ultimately drive the debate.” Jindal added that Maginnis “will be greatly missed but never forgotten.” U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu said in a statement, “Louisiana has lost its premier political commentator today. John was largely responsible for making politics Louisiana’s second-favorite pastime, just after football.” Congressman Steve Scalise said in a statement, “While he often seemed to have an abundance of material to work with, John Maginnis had a unique talent for telling a story in a way that made it come to life for his readers.” Alford, who began working at LaPolitics with Maginnis several years ago, noted that Maginnis had a wit to match those of some of the politicians he covered. Alford recalled the time a national media reporter asked him about U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s involvement in a prostitution scandal. Maginnis wryly (and accurately) told the reporter, “In Louisiana, it takes more than one sex scandal to sink a politician.” “Another thing that set Maginnis apart is he never hesitated to test what he thought he knew or had heard from a reliable source,” Donze said. “He would often call me to run local stuff by me. What he had was usually right on the money, but he wanted that next level of assurance before he went with it. He was ‘Old School’ all the way. He never succumbed to the get-it-first-I-can-always-get-it-right-later philosophy that has infected Internet reporting.” So long, old friend. Thanks for the great ride and the many great tales.

For the past decade or so, former Times-Picayune City Hall reporter Frank Donze and I appeared with Maginnis once a year before the class of the Loyola Institute of Politics for an evening of no-holds-barred, off-the-record observations about local and state politics. I always left those discussions feeling I learned as much from Maginnis as did the students. “John made the discussion of the blood sport that is political campaigning and the riddle that is the legislative process easy to chew and even easier to digest,” Donze said. “Whether he was writing it in a book, on his website, or talking about it before a group of wannabe politicians, John was always engaging, thoughtful and, most importantly, entertaining. He was like a good teacher: he made learning fun. Louisiana has lost one of its best chroniclers of the here and now, of the things that we as citizens all should be more tuned in to but often are not. His legacy as a journalist is what everyone in our profession strives for: He was accurate; he was fair; and he was informative. He will be sorely missed.” Veteran Democratic strategist and frequent network TV commentator James Carville knew Maginnis from their days at LSU. Carville said of Maginnis: “Louisiana just lost its most experienced and best political commentator. For 30plus years, he was the undisputed gold standard in Louisiana political reporting. Historians will find his books and writings to be invaluable, and people like me who have done this for a long time have lost a really good friend. “I don’t know of another state that has or has had a political journalist who had as long and as influential a career as John. I can’t think of anybody anywhere else like him.” Veteran political observer and blogger C.B. Forgotston likewise knew Maginnis from LSU. “John’s passing was a real shock,” Forgotston said in an email. “John was a younger (DKE) fraternity brother at LSU, so I knew him for almost 50 years. John was the consummate professional even when we disagreed on issues, which we did often.” Forgotston said Maginnis’ first book, The Last Hayride, showcased his knack for getting his subjects to trust him. “That book provided an extremely rare view of the inside of an Edwin Edwards gubernatorial campaign,” Forgotston said. “John managed to make EWE so comfortable that apparently EWE and his aides forgot he was in the room as they plotted. It was that type of insight into Louisiana politics that will be greatly missed by those of us who knew John and his writings.” Robert T. Scott, president of PAR and a former Capitol correspondent for The Times-Picayune, remembers Maginnis as “the perfect professional in his field. … He was a living forum for the fair and

“Well, I’m kind of a strange fella.” — Former Gov. Edwin Edwards to Paul Lewis of The Guardian, who attempted to explain both Edwards and Louisiana politics to the paper’s British readership. Asked if there was anything he regrets, the 86-year-old Edwards told Lewis, “ Ah, you’re acting like a goddamn reporter now.”

Thanks but no thanks in Ruston, Jindal joins Dynasty
Louisiana Tech University in Ruston inducted Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson into its Hall of Distinguished Alumni during its spring commencement May 24. Though Robertson didn’t attend, KNOETV in Monroe reported “several” people walked out of the ceremony. Afterward, a group of students and professors began a petition calling for the revocation of the honor, citing “deeply hateful remarks Mr. Robertson has made about women, African Americans and LGBTQ people.” In a statement, the university said, “The right to express and debate differences in opinions, ideologies and values is at the core of a university community, and Louisiana Tech certainly supports its faculty in this exercise of free expression.” Robertson, a favorite of evangelical voters, did speak at the opening of the Republican Leadership Conference at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside May 29 — the same night Gov. Bobby Jindal addressed the gathering. Robertson got an ovation from the crowd for his views on Christianity and what he described as “evil” federal policy. For his part, Jindal blasted the Common Core educational standards, saying it was the result of “bureaucrats from Washington D.C.” who “think they know best and don’t have to listen to parents.” In PAGE 12

Former Mayor Ray Nagin will have a (slightly) happier birthday when he turns 58 on June 11. Last week, U.S. District Judge Helen Ginger Berrigan granted a request from Nagin lawyer Robert Jenkins to move Nagin’s sentencing date from June 11 to July 2. But that was the only good news for the former mayor. Earlier in the week, Berrigan had ordered Nagin to forfeit $501,201 to the federal government. Earlier last month, Nagin’s wife Seletha filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Texas, where the family lives, in an apparent attempt to keep the Nagins’ home and other assets from being seized by creditors. In February, a federal jury found Nagin guilty of conspiracy, money laundering, nine counts of wire fraud, six counts of bribery, and filing false tax returns from 2005-2007. He has been on home confinement since his conviction. The former mayor’s conviction on 20 felony counts has led to widespread speculation about the prison term Berrigan will give him, with most expecting a sentence of at least 17 years. Nagin hasn’t spoken publicly since the trial but continues to tweet, mostly inspirational and religious messages. In the days before the sentencing postponement, he quoted Bishop T.D. Jakes (“Prayer empowers you to find your own way through life without simply reacting to whatever the devil may throw at you”) and the Rev. Joel Osteen (“When life gets tough & things don’t look like they’ll work out, you can live by faith knowing God has already written the final chapter”). He also posted an R.I.P. message for poet Maya Angelou, who died May 28, and quoted her: “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” — KEVIN ALLMAN
on May 27 to oppose a bill they feel would have adversely calculated workers’ compensation for athletes. House Bill 1069 by state Rep. Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, was pulled off the floor after Brees took the stand. “It shows how important workers’ comp is to us, especially as it pertains to Louisiana workers,” Brees told the House. “Just know how much pride we take in playing in the state of Louisiana representing our community.” The bill — which had the support of Saints owner Tom Benson — would have calculated earnings for workers comp at the rate of current earnings rather than future wages, e.g., players in training camp vs. players entering the full season. If a player was injured in the off- or pre-season, he would be excluded from “regular season” compensation benefits.

Tiger to stay at truck stop
House votes 67-26 to allow animal to remain roadside attraction
GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JUNE 3 > 2014
In the annual legislative session that concludes this week, state lawmakers spent hours debating the fate of Tony, the Bengal tiger and roadside attraction that lives in a cage at Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete. Senate Bill 250 from state Sen. Rick Ward, R-Port Allen, attempts to make an exemption for Tony and his owner, Michael Sandlin, from a state law prohibiting exotic big cat ownership. The bill passed the House Natural Resources committee May 28 by a 10-6 vote. After failing to convince his fellow
12
senators to pass the measure in April, Ward resurrected the bill and passed it in May. Following a favorable vote in the House committee, the bill went to the full House where it received final approval and will now go to Gov. Bobby Jindal for his signature. In 2010, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) sued the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) for unlawfully issuing Sandlin a permit to keep Tony. In April 2013, the state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal held that Sandlin is ineligible to hold a permit to keep the tiger. In October 2013, the Louisiana Supreme Court rejected Sandlin’s petition to review the adverse ruling. SB 250 would exempt Sandlin from the LDWF rules for ownership by authorizing under “previous ownership”— which currently is allowed by universities (read: LSU’s Mike the tiger), zoos and sanctuaries — “persons who obtained their animal by lawful means and continuously possessed their animal since August 15, 2006.” The Legislature passed a bill in 2006 limiting exotic pet ownership. (In a May editorial in The New Orleans Advocate, former State Rep. Warren Triche, who sponsored and helped pass that
legislation, called the bill a “back door approach through the legislative process to undo what the courts have decided.”) Proponents warned that current law, if not amended, could open the door to banning hunting dogs and mascots. They also blamed ALDF and “outsiders” for “coming in and telling Louisiana” how to run businesses. Committee members discussed Tony’s health (and love life, or lack thereof), economic impact, and whether he’d be safer at an animal sanctuary. “I can tell you none of these places can afford the care where Tony is at,” Sandlin said. “One-onone attention, the best veterinary care and diet money can buy.” “We’re here because the law was set in 2006. This issue was put to bed … by both houses,” said Carter Dillard, ALDF’s director of litigation. “The options now are to let the courts decide, let the law run its course” or “waste taxpayer dollars” and let Tony “die in a parking lot.” On May 30, the bill passed the House 67-26. Before introducing the measure, state Rep. Jeff Arnold, D-Algiers, played Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” on the House floor. — ALEX WOODWARD

COMMENTARY
thinking out loud
A tenuous balance he freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights are among our most cherished liberties, but they are not always in perfect balance. Sometimes, in fact, they conflict with one another in troubling ways. Such was the case last week when U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman of New Orleans had to balance the constitutional guarantee of a fair trial for defendants charged with major felonies and the First Amendment rights of journalists seeking to protect the identities of their confidential sources — all against the backdrop of federal rules shrouding grand jury matters in secrecy. In the end, Feldman made the right call, but getting there was not easy. The case involves alleged local crime lord Telly Hankton and his extended family of accused hit men, drug dealers and money launderers. Hankton, who is already in jail for murder, and a dozen co-defendants were indicted in October 2012 on 22 felony counts, including racketeering and murder. Four days before that indictment came down, Hankton and five of his co-defendants were featured in a front-page story in The TimesPicayune. The story predicted their imminent indictment on racketeering charges and cited various unnamed sources. Not long after the story ran, attorneys
for Hankton and five of his co-defendants filed motions to dismiss the indictment. The motions alleged that FBI agents Richard “Chip” Hardgrave and Keith Burriss improperly prejudiced the grand jury by discussing the newspaper’s forthcoming story with several T-P reporters days before the story ran. Reporter John Simerman and then-city editor Gordon Russell (who both now work for the New Orleans Advocate) testified that they showed the agents a “draft” of a graphic that accompanied their story (but not a draft of the story itself) in hopes of getting more information. The agents testified that they met with the newsmen mainly because they were concerned the story might jeopardize the safety of agents about to arrest dangerous criminals. Hardgrave and Burriss also testified that they were concerned about possible “leaks” as a basis for the story. The motions put Feldman in the difficult position of having to balance the conflicting constitutional rights of the reporters and the defendants. Reporters are loath to testify about their stories because doing so exposes them to potential jail time if they refuse to give up confidential sources. In this case, agents Hardgrave and
Burriss admitted they met with Simerman and Russell, but two days of testimony painted a picture of reporters and federal agents fishing for information from each other, to little avail. “We asked a number of questions about the indictment and didn’t get a lot of answers,” Russell testified. For their part, the agents said the meeting assuaged their concerns about improper leaks and protecting potential witnesses who were still on the street. None of those witnesses were named in the story or depicted in the accompanying graphic, the agents testified. Hours after the evidentiary hearing ended, Feldman denied the defense motions. His ruling noted that the government “admits that FBI agents disclosed information” that appeared in the T-P’s story, but he concluded that such disclosures constituted “minor lapses” and that the defendants “failed to show any prejudice” as required under controlling case law. “There is simply no indication, beyond speculation, that the agents’ statements substantially influenced the grand jury’s decisions to indict those defendants mentioned in the article,” Feldman wrote. Turns out that was the easy part. The difficult part was keeping loquacious
defense attorney Arthur “Buddy” Lemann from trying to force Simerman and Russell to identify other unnamed sources from the witness stand. Lemann repeatedly tried to ask the reporters to identify, either specifically or in general terms, other unnamed sources. Each time, T-P attorney Lori Mince objected, and each time Feldman sustained her objection — often adding a stern warning to Lemann to steer clear of such questions. On several occasions, Feldman lamented the difficulty of maintaining “this very serious and tenuous balance” — and more than once he confessed he was “not a big fan of the First Amendment.” The judge also noted that his job required him to “apply the law as it is, not as I would like it to be.” He did exactly that, protecting Simerman and Russell at every turn from inquiries that threatened exposure of their confidential sources. Moreover, the judge noted several times that the newspaper’s lengthy story reflected “good reporting and lots of shoe leather.” His written ruling made no mention of the First Amendment, but from the bench Feldman struck a balance that protected the conflicting constitutional interests as well as possible.

Dear Phyllis,
Hey Blake,
I heard that Truman Capote lived in New Orleans. What did he do here and where did he hang out? New to town
Dear New,
Truman Capote, a celebrated screenwriter, playwright and author of several books, including In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, was born in New Orleans in 1924. His version of his childhood is bleak, with him recalling his mother’s neglect and sometimes being locked in his suite at the Hotel Monteleone, his first residence. The

hotel later named a suite in his honor. Capote also told of being lost at Mardi Gras when he was 5 years old and spending the night at the police station. At a young age, Capote was sent to live with his aunts in Monroeville, Alabama, where he met Harper Lee, who later wrote To Kill a Mockingbird. During the summers and holidays of his youth, Capote returned to New Orleans. In the 1930s, he joined his mother and new stepfather in New York City. Capote began to publish stories in the early 1940s, and returned to New Orleans in 1945. He rented an apartment at 811 Royal St., where he wrote parts of his first novel Other Voices, Other Rooms, which was published in 1948. Capote later visited New Orleans as a retreat from the pressures of fame, prompted by Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the success of its Hollywood film starring Audrey Hepburn. In a 1981 interview with People magazine, he said, “I get seized by a mood and I go. I stay a few weeks and I read and write and walk around. It’s like a hometown to me.” During this interview, Capote mentioned favorite spots including St. Louis Cathedral, the Caribbean Room at the Pontchartrain Hotel, a local cemetery and the Bourbon Street burlesque club Gunga Den. In his essay “New Orleans 1946,” included in the essay collection Portraits and Observations (2007), Capote called New Orleans “a secret place” and described characters and scenes from the French Quarter he knew in his early 20s. Capote died in Los Angeles on Aug. 25, 1984.

New Orleans City Park lost approximately 2,000 trees after Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures, but the Dueling Oak still stands where Dueling Oaks Drive meets Dreyfous Drive between the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden and the New Orleans Museum of Art. At one point, there was a placard that explained the tree’s historical significance, but it’s no longer there. Originally, there were two “dueling oaks,” but one was lost in a hurricane in 1949. In the 1800s, men would defend their pride and honor by dueling each other under the oaks at what is now City Park but then was a normally quiet spot secluded from the rest of the city. Some of the city’s most notable figures who participated in duels in City Park include U.S. Congressman Emile LaSere and Bernard de Marigny, a nobleman and president of the Louisiana Senate in 1822-23. Many of the disputes between parties were either reconciled before the duel or after one party sustained a minor injury. Dueling deaths were reported, however. In 1805, Micajah Green Lewis, Gov. William C.C. Claiborne’s private secretary and brother-in-law, was killed by Robert Sterry, a Claiborne opponent. By 1890, dueling was outlawed.

ohn Lydon — also known as Johnny Rotten, the lead singer of the legendary British rock band the Sex Pistols — is aware of his reputation. He has begun work on a second autobiography to offer the world another account of his version of the fast and furious rise and fall of the Sex Pistols. “I never quite understood what they meant by controversy,” Lydon says via phone from his California home. “All I have ever done is speak my mind as accurately as possible. I am opinionated, with a great deal of knowledge and content — rather than just opinions. I have never done anything just for scandal’s
sake. But for some odd reason that always seems to be firmly attached to me.” Whatever the new book (tentatively titled Anger is an Energy) reveals about his childhood and his years with the Sex Pistols, it will be hard for him to change people’s view of the iconic face he gave to Britain’s punk movement when he penned the band’s version of “God Save the Queen” (“God save the Queen/ the fascist regime … She ain’t no human being/ There is no future/ in England’s dreaming”) on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee. Before the pageantry of the Jubilee, the Sex Pistols threw a party on a boat on the Thames River and
played the song. British authorities boarded the boat and ended the concert, but Lydon slipped away in the confusion while manager Malcolm McLaren was roughed up by officers. Lydon was later assaulted and slashed in the streets by outraged citizens. Some record stores refused to carry the single, but overall, it sold well. The record label A&M dropped the Sex Pistols, but Virgin Records signed the group. Nearly 40 years later, Lydon’s reputation is still pungent enough to draw attention on a marquee. That’s one of the reasons he was cast in the U.S. arena tour production of Jesus Christ Superstar, which launches its 51-date summer schedule June 9 at the UNO Lakefront Arena. The North American tour ranges from Los Angeles’ Staples Center to New York’s Madison Square Garden, with a couple of dates in Canada. The production also features Brandon Boyd of the rock band Incubus as Judas Iscariot, Destiny’s Child’s Michelle Williams (who has refocused her career in gospel music in the last decade) as Mary Magdalene and ’N Sync’s JC Chasez as Pontius Pilate. Lydon says he’s excited to play King Herod, the ruler of Judea, who in the musical has the choice to spare or condemn Jesus. Lydon has some insight into the show’s original concept of treating Jesus as a rock star-like figure who draws a cult following even though there are conflicting views of whether he is a prophet or a phony. “I look at my life and it’s kind of an irony really,” Lydon says. “All I’ve ever really tried to do is communicate honestly to my fellow other

human beings. My songs are usually self-analysis and finding out faults in myself and sharing those with others — and attacking social systems that create inequality and victimize the human race. And now as Herod, I am the spiritual leader of all things bad for me. I am playing my own worst enemy. That’s got to be thrilling.” For two weeks before traveling to New Orleans to begin rehearsals, Lydon practiced “King Herod’s Song” and studied the script. This will be the largest production with which he’s toured. It’s an arena rock show, not a touring Broadway musical. The cast tops 60, including the cast of characters, live band and dancers, and the over-the-top staging features live large-scale video projections, massive props and frequent costume changes. “There’s the camera director, the stage director, the musical director,” Lydon says. “I am going to be following a lot of orders all at once. That’s not me. I am used to controlling my own helm. I have to be very open-minded here. I have to prove to myself and everybody else that I am capable of it.” Lydon has hosted documentary shows in which he swam with great white sharks off the coast of South Africa, searched for gorillas in central Africa and explored the world of creepy crawly things (leeches, tarantulas, deadly spiders) for Discovery Channel. But this is the first time he’s not playing himself. Much about the style of the show is new to him. “Hilariously, of all things, there are chorus dancers,” he says. “How am I going to cope with that? I have been laughing at Jay-Z and the rest of them for years. And now I am up here with me Jesus Christs.”

to British and Australian arena tours, both grandly organized by the show’s original creators Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Superstar was the second musical the two created about biblical characters. They launched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 1968. Their idea for Superstar was to create a rock opera about the final week of Jesus’ life, without getting into the issue of resurrection. It was the story of Jesus, but set in modern times, capable of being set against any array of contemporary unrest or technology. In the title song “Superstar,” Judas sings, “Why’d you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?/ If you’d come today you would have reached a whole nation/ Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication.” Webber and Rice were unable to put together the show in Britain, and they opted instead to release the songs as an album, which featured
Deep Purple’s lead singer Ian Gillian, Murray Head (of the 1984 oddball hit “One Night in Bangkok” from the musical Chess) and a host of wellknown musicians. It didn’t fare well in Britain, but it took off in the U.S., becoming Billboard’s best-selling album of 1971, ahead of the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers and John Lennon’s Imagine and Led Zeppelin IV. The album helped Webber and Rice launch the musical at the Mark Hellinger Theater in New York. Ted Neeley starred as Jesus and Ben Vereen (Roots) played Judas. Andy Warhol, David Frost, actress Sylvia Miles (Midnight Cowboy) and other celebrities attended the gala opening. The show ran on Broadway for two years, drawing some protests and mixed critical reviews. Some Christian groups objected to the depiction of Jesus as human, his possible interest in sex and the show’s sympathetic treatment of Judas. Some Jewish groups feared that it blamed a Jewish

The run spanned the brief existence of the Sex Pistols (1975-1978). “I can remember it was always there,” Lydon says. “When we started the Sex Pistols, we used to rehearse around the corner from Soho where the play was. It was always there. It was a permanent fixture.” Does he remember any feelings about it? “It probably would have been negative, because it was part of the establishment,” Lydon says. “I don’t think [Webber] had me in mind when he put pen to paper all those years ago.”

mob for the death of Jesus. Others lamented that it showed how political movements of the 1960s failed because charismatic leaders were a distraction from creating systemic change. In an interview with The New York Times, Webber and Rice said they had intended to tackle a big subject to help call attention to their work but that they weren’t merely seeking controversy. Webber also noted that he didn’t agree with the director treating Herod as a drag queen, and for Jesus, he had more of a rock star in mind. “My personal image of Jesus was somebody like Mick Jagger,” Webber told the Times. There was enough interest in the musical to spawn a film, which was shot primarily in Israel — again drawing protests about the irony of the location for a film linking Jews to the death of Christ.

of the show somewhere on the globe. A Japanese version opened in 1973. A concert tour drew more than a million viewers in Australia in 1992. In 2000, an Italian production gained the Vatican’s approval. It’s been produced everywhere from Greece to South Africa to South Korea. In 2010, raunch rocker Peaches did a onewoman version called Peaches Christ Superstar. In 2012, a Broadway revival was mounted. Also in 2012, Webber created Superstar on Britain’s ITV1. The Britain’s Got Talent-style reality TV competition was designed to cast the role of Jesus for an arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar. It was won by Ben Forster, who had starred in West End productions of La Cava, Grease and Thriller Live. Forster starred in the updated Superstar arena show that debuted in Britain and toured Australia, grossing a combined $32 million. The British production also starred Melanie Chisholm, aka Sporty Spice, as Mary Magdalene and Australian-born comedian Tim Minchin. The show uses massive video projections and incorporates social media. Some of the groups in Judea were presented as members of the Occupy movement, with social unrest relating to the failure of financial systems. Herod, played by a radio DJ wearing a red velvet suit, was presented as a TV talent competition host who doesn’t think Jesus is ready for prime time. Lydon has been enlisted by a couple of TV shows to deliver sour and scathing commentary on current events, including Rotten TV (2000) on VH1 and The Belzer Connection (2003) with Richard Belzer. Neither show lasted long. But Lydon’s very serious about his role in Superstar. “You’d always have to convince me to take a role like this,” Lydon says. “It could be seen as flippant and glib, but it’s not. It’s something I really have to put my mind into. It’s a lot of work. And it’s a gamble — a huge one. A big huge risk both sides are taking. That’s the unity and
the bond that will make it work.” In spite of the fame Lydon gained from the Sex Pistols, which released several singles and one album, he’s spent far more time with his subsequent band Public Image Limited, of which he’s the sole long-term member. The group was very productive, releasing eight studio albums from 1978 through 1993, when it disbanded. Lydon flirted with Sex Pistols reunions beginning in the mid-1990s, and the band rerecorded “Anarchy in the UK” for the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock in 2007. Lydon revived Public Image in 2009, and to finance a new album (choosing to work without a label), he famously starred in a British TV ad for Country Life butter. For that, some criticized him for selling out. “I don’t care for naysayers,” Lydon says. “All these times in my life when I really needed help and support, where the hell have they been? The record labels didn’t drop me easily. They kept me on, but no money. A Catch-22 situation. It almost drove me out of making music completely.” He sees Superstar as an opportunity to move forward with multiple projects, including a new Public Image album to be recorded in England in the fall, the autobiography and a documentary. “These are the only people that are offering me any help, in an industry I have done so much for,” he says. “I am Johnny. I think I have opened a lot of doors and a lot of people’s minds to how music could and should and would be made and produced and the possibilities. The industry managed to close all those doors in my face. And sign up people imitating me, and very badly at that. There it is, I live in a world full of mimics, and they’re judging me. Don’t judge me. Stop it, you load of Herods.” While Lydon jokes about the role, he immersed himself in the story prior to beginning rehearsals in New Orleans. “Herod’s character, from my estimation, is one jealous king who won’t give it up. He’s challenged by the mere
presence of a character, which is called Jesus, who he absolutely despises. That makes [Herod] despisable. “I think I would have done the same thing at the time. You can’t take anyone on their word these days. And I think not then either. Everything is to be challenged. There’s an element of spite in this Herod, while at the same time, he has a groveling smile to try to appease everyone.” In the musical, everyone from Judas and Magdalene to Pilate and Herod tries to size up Jesus and how and whether they want to be associated with him. The drama is frequently seen through Judas’ eyes, and he is leery of Jesus’ cultlike popularity. Pilate is less concerned with Jesus’ identity than his own responsibility in quashing his appeal. Lydon was a Catholic altar boy when he was young, and he’s always been critical of organized religion. But he’s sympathetic to Jesus’ plight here. “There is an acknowledgement in there that anyone who stands up for anything that is good or offers hope is the one that gets the worst kind of chastisement, and that’s a great shame about the human race,” Lydon says. The drama of a misunderstood superstar is a burden Lydon seems destined to play out over and over, even in his real life. The last time he visited New Orleans, he was filming an episode of Johnny Lydon’s Mega Bugs. It featured a segment on termites eating up French Quarter buildings. Lydon likes New Orleans, but this was his strongest memory of the city. “There’s an autograph shop in the French Quarter,” he says. “I went in there and they had a fake Johnny Rotten autograph on Never Mind the Bollocks. I told them so. They were furious; they asked me to leave. “I said, ‘Look, I think I am the expert on this one.’ I was more than prepared to give them a proper one, but they weren’t prepared to go out and buy the record. “It’s hilarious. They’d rather sell the fake one then deal with the reality. That kind of sums up the world for me.”

Ng says the restaurant’s theatrical approach to Japanese fare and its large dining area keep customers coming back. “It is very spacious, not crowded, and it is a pretty open space here,” Ng says. “[Chefs and servers] try to meet customer expectations and provide a unique dining experience for everybody to remember.”

ccording to Amy Ng, manager of Miyako Japanese Hibachi and Sushi Bar (1403 St. Charles Ave., 504-410-9997; www.miyakonola. com), miyako means “metropolitan” or “capital” in Japanese. With its view of streetcars trundling up and down St. Charles Avenue, the name seems to reflect the location — but this is just a happy accident. The restaurant opened in Metairie more than 10 years ago and moved to St. Charles Avenue in 2003, where the staff serves traditional Japanese fare, steaks and sushi made from locally sourced fresh fish. Dinner can come with a show, Ng says. Many items are cooked hibachi style on a special iron grill surrounded by diners. “[Chefs] prepare the meal like a show, playing with the spatula, making an onion volcano, throwing eggs and entertaining [customers] while they’re eating,” Ng says. This spectacle has a benefit in addition to its entertainment value: “[Customers] don’t have to worry about when their food will be ready or if it will be cold,” Ng says. The show also makes for a familyfriendly dining experience. “Hibachi is good for all ages,” says Ng, who once hosted 50 members of a senior home at the restaurant. “They had never heard of [hibachi] before,” she says. There’s also a children’s menu. Hibachi options range from steak and lobster to shrimp and chicken — or vegetarians can request vegetables only.

Wots up
Ethiopian food spices up the Lower Garden District. By Sarah Baird
W
whole fish is another gentle toe-dip into Ethiopian cuisine, with a lightly battered, flash-fried exterior and intact (eyeball included) presentation that’s visually arresting. The fish is airy, flaky and unburdened by heavy spice, but the task of picking out fish bones is an unfortunate necessity. For those ready to take the plunge into the deep end of Ethiopian food, kitfo and gored gored are delicious dishes for the hungry and brave. The difference between the two is a fine line, but they share a bold commonality: both feature raw beef. The kitfo is expertly executed, featuring finely minced beef marinated in a blend of mitmita (a tangerine-hued spice mix featuring cloves and African birds-eye chili peppers) and niter kibbeh, a clarified butter similar in flavor and texture to ghee. A chalky, dry cottage cheese and sauteed greens mixture makes it a trifecta of decadent flavors and complementary textures when scooped up in one bite with a swath of injera. (The beef can be prepared semi-rare on request.) Gored gored is cubed raw beef combined with the potent red pepper paste awazem but largely unmarinated. The chunkier texture ensures that the beef has more pronounced flavor, while each spicedrenched bite packs a serious punch of chewy, satisfying heat. Nile offers a colorful and ample vegetarian plate featuring a rainbow of vegetable purees and chutneys, from creamy yellow split peas to spicy Ethiopian-style collard greens. Because of the way platters arrive with injera bread, Ethiopian dining is a social experience, and there’s no better place than Nile to dine with an exploratory group. If you’re looking for a novel experience, grab a couple of bottles of wine (a $5 corkage fee applies), a few friends and push your taste buds to a new level.

New Orleans’ best bet for authentic Ethiopian food and adventurous dining
If you’re out drinking this week, make it a Negroni. Dozens of local bars will donate at least $1 for each Negroni sold to the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation (NOMAF). A global campaign sponsored by Imbibe magazine and Campari, Negroni Week (June 2-8; www. negroniweek.com) is designed to give back to local causes by way of the summery classic of equal parts gin, ruby Campari and vermouth. Bartender Becca June Conklin (pictured), secretary of the local chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild who works at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel’s (717 Orleans Ave., 504-523-2222; www. bourbonorleans.com) Bourbon “O” Bar, is spearheading the local effort, with help from Tales of the Cocktail staff and bartenders Pailinn Petthong (Bourbon “O” Bar) and Carrie Dumaine of Grand Isle PAGE 26

hat registers as an exotic or unusual dining experience is largely dependent on one’s personal tastes and history. Some folks are happy to field dress and cook their own wild game, and others don’t venture far beyond childhood favorites. It’s indisputable, though, that in New Orleans an Ethiopian meal is an outside-the-box treat, and an opportunity to push one’s palate in new directions. Nile Ethiopian Restaurant offers the opportunity to eat adventurously in safe environs, and explore the rich, complex flavors of Ethiopia. Located in an unassuming white storefront near the corner of Magazine Street and Jackson Avenue, Nile’s decor is unassuming and simple, with a smattering of colorful Ethiopian artwork, teacups, and baskets serving as the only bright, eye-catching pieces. Rather than making the space seem barren, the dining room’s simplicity and ample natural light create tranquility that can be difficult for a restaurant to achieve. (It’s not hard to imagine the space moonlighting as a yoga studio.) A back patio shaded by thick banana leaves is being renovated and will eventually be a draw for al fresco diners. Nile originally arrived on the scene in July 2012, but a fire shuttered the business for several months in 2013, and the restaurant quietly reopened last August. The quality — and ample quantity — of food hasn’t wavered since the fire, and neither have the spirits of the restaurant’s owner Tesfaye Mengesha and staff, who are among some of the most convivial and welcoming hosts in the city. Don’t be surprised at the lack of flatware at Nile, and be prepared to eat with your hands. The foundation of all Ethiopian dining is injera, a dense, spongy, dimpled, sourdough flatbread that pulls double-duty as a serving vessel for dishes and an edible utensil. A small bowl of rolled up injera — which looks very similar to rolled up tan wash cloths — arrives with your meal, ready to be unfurled and used to scoop up spicy stews and chunks of meat. Learning some basic terminology can help diners navigate the menu. Wots are rich Ethiopian stews that use slow-cooked onion as a thickening agent and can include any number of meat additions, from beef to lamb. Tibs are sauteed chunks of meat and vegetables in a preparation similar to a stir fry, but using traditional Ethiopian spices: cardamom, coriander and berbere, a chili powder that’s Ethiopia’s signature, heat-inducing national spice. Nile is very receptive to individual heat-level preferences, but be prepared for a noticeable back-of-the-throat tinge if you eat many of the dishes in their traditional form. A solid jumping off point for Ethiopian first-timers is kikil, a mild, oxblood-colored stew that has a tangy, ginger flavor and could rival some of the city’s best barbecue dishes. The lamb is served in thick gravy both cubed and bone-in, with the meat’s earthiness offset by ample garlic and cardamom. The fried
If you’ve been searching for a little bit of the bayou in the city, Mosquito Supper Club (www.mosquitosupperclub. com) — the brainchild of former Cafe Hope chef Melissa Martin — has arrived. Quirky, one-off dinners are becoming more common in New Orleans, but Mosquito Supper Club looks to be a game changer by creating dining experiences that are both rustic and elegant, staying more in line with the socialclub-meets-dinner-party atmosphere of an old-fashioned supper club than a fly-by-night pop-up. The dinners, which will be held at The Tigermen Den (3113 Royal St.; www. thetigermenden.com) in Bywater, have limited seating, and the menu showcases Louisiana ingredients. For the dinner on June 29, the menu features deviled eggs with lump crabmeat and cucumber and tomato salad with Steen’s vinegar. Martin also will serve bouillie pies — a classic Cajun sweet dough pie with a custard filling, unavailable anywhere else in New Orleans — from her family recipe. On June 8, Mosquito Supper Club hosts a kid-friendly “fais do do” brunch at The Tigermen Den, complete with live zydeco music, boudin and “pop rouge” ice cream.

Re-bar
Bar Redux, a neighborhood bar serving up traditional comfort food and creative Caribbean fare, has opened in the former location of barbecue stalwart The Joint (801 Poland Ave., 504-592-7083). While many wondered about the fate of the unassuming building when The Joint relocated to larger digs last year, Bar Redux has made the space a unique standout with a colorful, Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test-style paint job and vintage neon “BAR” sign. The menu is small but growing, with a number of quirky twists on comfort food staples from chef Kevin Querant including a ribeye cheesesteak and a Cuban sandwich anchored by garlic-infused roasted pork. The Jamaican jerk cheesesteak nachos (off-menu for now, but always available) have become a popular dish for late-night bar patrons. The menu also offers up a fine number of vegetarian options, including stuffed portabello mushrooms and a surprisingly delicious avocado salad featuring well-spiced chickpeas, corn, onion, and avocado served as a kind of chunky guacamole inside half an avocado. Redux only has one signature cocktail thus far — a combination of Malibu rum, Midori (a melon liqueur), cucumber, and pineapple known as “The Pussycat” — but is looking to expand their roster quickly with other frothy, tiki-inspired drinks. — SARAH BAIRD

Chile reception
26
I recently visited the Tabasco factory on Avery Island in search of the McIlhenny family’s latest novelty hot sauce creation. Among the raspberry chipotle ice cream and Tabasco cola was a hybrid that is spicing up the competition in the hot sauce market: Tabasco sriracha. The sauce was released for a test run three weeks ago and is only available through the Tabasco Country Store. Food writers nationwide (from New York Magazine to TIME) were thrilled to learn that this rara avis — which is marketed as combining the sweet, garlicky heat of sriracha with the lip-searing kick of Tabasco — exists in the wild. But what does it actually taste like? Color: Tabasco sriracha is a darker, smokier color than traditional sriracha sauces, closer to a deep maroon than sriracha’s signature scarlet. Texture: The smooth, pureed texture (think homemade ketchup) of Tabasco sriracha adds to its appeal, making the globby consistency of traditional sriracha seem a little unappetizing. It’s almost thick enough to spread on crackers as a standalone condiment, and would give Tabasco a run for its money atop raw oysters. Spice: Tabasco sriracha combined the best elements of Tabasco and sriracha into one sauce, with sriracha’s sweet chile slow burn offset by the vinegar-heavy aftertaste of Tabasco. It’s saltier than either of the condiments on its own, but its saltiness enhances the nuanced flavors of ginger and garlic. Packaging: While it’s not quite as portable as Tabasco, the conical shape of the bottle, clean white brand and whimsical, Thai-inspired gold leafing is the most aesthetically pleasing of hot sauce bottles. Price: This new kid on the block is expensive ($4.99 for 15 ounces) when compared to traditional sriracha and Tabasco, at almost double the price of a similar sized bottle of sriracha. Verdict? Louisiana revolutionized spicy condiments with Tabasco in 1868 and is poised to do it again if Tabasco sriracha reaches shelves worldwide. — SARAH BAIRD

3-COURSE interview
Sarah Mauthe DAIRY FARMER
Sarah Mauthe (pictured in black) is a farmer and the next generation of Mauthe’s Progress Milk Barn (www. mauthefarms. blogspot.com; www. facebook.com/mauthesprogressmilkbarn), a small dairy operation in Progress, Mississippi, just 100 miles outside of New Orleans. Along with her sister Katie and mother Jamie, the Mauthe women are self-described “milk ladies” and create cheeses, milk, butter and cheesecakes. Sarah spoke with Gambit about growing up on the farm and their business.
What is the daily schedule like on the farm?
Mauthe: Our farm is a small dairy operation located just outside of Progress, Mississippi, on about 40 acres 3 miles from the Louisiana line. My sister and I are fourth-generation farmers, my dad Kenny is a third-generation farmer and we’re all family here on the farm. We start in the morning milking our 42 Jersey-Holstein cross cows. After that, we pasteurize our milk and bottle it. Our milk is unique in that it’s a pasteurized, non-homogenized milk where the cream rises to the top. We offer quite a few additional dairy products: yogurt, cream, buttermilk, soft cheeses, a farmhouse cheddar and a Creole cream cheese, which we also use to make our cheesecakes. The cheesecakes came about because we were selling the Creole cream cheese at the farmers market in New Orleans and we had a customer who came up to us and asked if we had ever made a cheesecake with the cream cheese. So, from there, my mom started doing it. They’ve been very popular.
What’s the best part of working on a dairy farm?
M: My favorite time is in the morning when the sun is rising and it’s a new day on the farm and I’m out there milking. My dad, sister and I take turns rotating mornings and milking, but I just love it. There’s more beauty in it than I could ever explain without really seeing it with your own eyes. It’s a promise of the new day. I feel refreshed and excited about what we’re going to do for the new day. It’s where my heart is, and it’s what I love to do the most. — SARAH BAIRD
GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JUNE 3 > 2014
What role have farmers markets played in your development?
M: The farmers market where we originally started out was the Crescent City Farmers Market in New Orleans. Once a month now we go to that market on Tuesdays, and on Thursdays we’re in McComb at our local farmers market, and Saturdays we’re at the Jackson (Mississippi) market and in Covington on the Northshore. Farmers markets have been really wonderful to us. We’ve built a huge following and have so many loyal customers who we see every week and who have become good friends. The New Orleans market hasn’t been doing as well for us lately, but we’ve been able to pick up some of the same customers through Good Eggs and Hollygrove Market. We’re really thankful for them. We also work very hard to keep a green mindset. We don’t use any chemical fertilizers on our grass. We use our own whey that we derive from the cheese to spray back on our fields. All of our practices are very green and focused on being environmentally friendly. It’s so nice at the end of the week, after working 16-hour days on the farm, to go to the farmers market and hear how people are enjoying the milk and cheeses. It just makes it all worthwhile.

BEER buzz Standing in the Place d’Armes, NOLA Beer Tours (www.nolabeertours. com) guide Eric Stockwell recited New Orleans’ Regal Brewery’s catchphrase from its heyday in the mid-1900s: “Red beans and rice, and Regal on ice.” He paused, then said, “That stuff sold like crack, you guys.” NOLA Beer Tours was founded in 2013 and aims to combine the history of beer in New Orleans with a tour of the French Quarter and highlighting local beers at a variety Eric Stockwell of NOLA Beer Tours of bars. Stockwell says that for the most gives a little history at the bar part, the tours are made up of people inside Tujague’s. with a genuine interest in craft beer. My tour group had a diverse mix of folks from P H O T O B Y N O R A M C G U N N I G L E Slidell, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Texas and Oklahoma. The tour I went on earlier this month met at Tujague’s for the first stop. Although I was initially skeptical of the location, the restaurant’s historic significance combined with two iconic Louisiana beers on tap — NOLA Blonde and Abita Amber — and a snack of its house specialty brisket changed my mind. Stockwell reviewed the history of both NOLA Brewing and Abita as we sipped beer. Then the group moved to Jackson Square before heading to Crescent City Brewhouse. Guided by Stockwell, we tried several of the house-brewed offerings there. After that, it was off to Evangeline on Decatur Street, where we were permitted to sample two local beers from the many the bar has on tap. Heading up to Bourbon Street, I couldn’t imagine any place there that would be worthy of a beer tour. However, we went to Beer Fest, which is under new management and has a nice selection of beer and a bartender who seems to know her stuff. I enjoyed my LA-31 Biere Noire and Tin Roof’s Perfect Tin while drinking in the excitement of my fellow beer tourists. They loved learning about beer in the context of New Orleans’ history, and I did too. — NORA McGUNNIGLE

WINE of the week 2011 El Portillo Malbec MENDOZA, ARGENTINA RETAIL $10-$12
Argentina’s signature grape is the Mendoza region’s malbec, which yields stylish, supple, rounded red wines from entry-level bargains to high-priced, high-quality wines. Located 65 miles southwest of the city of Mendoza, Portillo’s winery and vineyards are situated on more than 1,000 acres in the high-altitude Uco Valley in the foothills of the Andes mountains. Vines are rooted in alluvial soils atop gravel beds to encourage good drainage, and they thrive in the warm, dry climate at elevations ranging from 3,500 feet to 5,500 feet above sea level. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, and the fruit is destemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks for cold maceration. Fermentation occurs over 10 to 15 days, followed by racking in Portillo’s state-of-the-art gravity-flow system. In the glass, the wine offers intense aromas of red berries, black cherry and spice notes. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine has flavors of plum, red currants, blackberry, earthy nuances and velvety tannins. Decant 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with rare steak, rack of lamb, roast beef and burgers. Buy it at: Breaux Mart on Magazine Street, Dorignac’s, some Rouses Markets, Acquistapace’s Covington Supermarket and Artigue’s Abita Market. Drink it at: The Melting Pot and Frankie and Johnny’s. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

Unmasked Art and photography shows explore racism and multiculturalism at the Loving Festival. By Will Coviello
M
siana State Penitentiary at Angola. He also continues to work on the Klan project. He is trying to revisit the 3-year-old learning how to hold a torch. “The child is 16 now,” Bates says. “He lives in Mississippi. He’s a fifth generation Klansman on both sides of his family. I want to go back and see what his beliefs and his mindset are.” Bates’ interest in the project stems from growing up in McComb, Mississippi, and being aware of racism in his family and community. “In McComb, there were 37 fire-bombings of black homes and churches in 1964,” he says. “My father was a city councilman. I campaigned with him in black communities. I also experienced racism in my family. When I was 18 or 19, I tried to invite a black friend to go to church with us, but my family did not receive that well at all. I have always said that I would have received forgiveness sooner if I had burnt down the church.” Bates tries to use his work to start conversations about racism in people’s own lives. “I have a desire to understand why racism exists,” he says. “It’s a worldwide problem; it’s not a black and white problem. The Klan is just a small, very visible piece of it.” Bates will attend the opening reception for the show Mixed Messages.4: Race, Racism and the Multiracial Experience at Press Street’s Antenna Gallery (5 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday; 3718 St. Claude Ave.). The show also includes work by Janet Boyd, Bottletree,

There is a reception June 12 at the gallery for a show featuring portraits of multiracial families. It includes an ice cream social from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. As a part of the festival, Indivisible, a collection of portraits of multiracial women by Samantha Wall opens at Stella Jones Gallery (6 p.m.-9 p.m. Friday; Place St. Charles, 201 St. Charles Ave., suite 132). Wall lives in Oregon, but she spent a month-long residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, where she interviewed and photographed subjects for her work. Press Street hosts a reading featuring five women of color addressing growing up in the South from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. June 11. It features Addie Citchens, whose work has appeared in the Oxford American and Callaloo; Jeri Hilt, who teaches in New Orleans; Ambata Kazi-Nance, who writes about being Muslim and living in the South; J.R. Ramakrishnan, whose work has been published in Harper’s Bazaar, Chicago Tribune, Grazia and Style.com; and Kristina K. Robinson, who has taught at Dillard University.

any of James Edward Bates’ photos of Ku Klux Klan members and their activities are straightforward and stark. There are photos of hooded Klansmen lighting giant crosses in rural fields at night. Some photos include unmasked members, their faces illuminated by torches. Other photos show masked Klansmen marching in cities and the main streets of small Southern towns. There also are photos of more banal moments and daily life for Klanspeople. A seamstress to Klan groups is captured with a room full of robes and an order form complete with a checklist of available robe embellishments. A Klansman with his mask pushed aside makes a purchase at a convenience store during a rally in a small Mississippi town. A father shows his 3-year-old son how to hold a torch at a cross burning. Bates started photographing Klan events in 1998, and over the years, he’s been drawn to the perpetuation of racism and more nuanced elements of the lives of Klan members. “There are a lot of people who join up and don’t stay for very long,” Bates says. “It’s a mixture of people. I don’t think they all have the same beliefs. There are people who join for white pride. There are a lot of people who are racist, who don’t like any other race. You have some Klan groups that associate closely with neo-Nazis. And you have people who stay away from them because they think that they’re violent. “Most of them are everyday people. You could find many of these people serving as your mailman, the guy who works in the photo lab at Walmart, your auto mechanic. You may not know who they are. I think the numbers are way down. There was some increase after 9-11, but I think that’s subsided. And some groups (he initially photographed) don’t exist anymore, and some groups have gone underground.” A small selection of his photos (many are posted on his website, www.kkkproject.org), are part of the Mixed Messages.4 show at the fourth annual New Orleans Loving Festival. The festival is named for the couple (Mildred and Richard Loving) behind a lawsuit and Supreme Court decision that nullified state laws barring interracial marriage in 1967. The festival includes art shows, literary readings and discussions about prejudice and multiculturalism. Bates worked as a newspaper photographer until two years ago, but he still pursues photojournalistic projects, especially those relating to Southern culture. He has photographed cockfights and is working on a series about moonshine and life inside the Loui-

Jack White
Jack White
JUNE If the blues is the ultimate obses8 p.m. Tuesday sive-compulsive disorder — the Saenger Theatre, 1111 Canal St. strict four-bar repetitions, the relentless self-examination and (504) 525-1052 devilish wallowing — then Jack www.saengernola.com White, with his precise period costumes, fidgety handiness and systematic two-color chromotherapy, is some kind of case study. Except for one thing: White, who would have been an upholsterer if he hadn’t struck a Faustian rock ’n’ roll bargain with ex-wife Meg in the White Stripes, isn’t out to fix his music; he’s out to push it, stretch it, flex it until it breaks. Blunderbuss, his first solo outing after steadily increasing his numbers with the pop-centric Raconteurs and wicked witchery of the hard-rocking Dead Weather, bleeds blue but features the widest spectrum of all his releases, incorporating saturated guitar stutters and watery piano hues, gussied-up harmonized standards and lowdown jitterbug ditties. This stop — number five on a 30-date, summer-spanning world tour, which commenced in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last week and wraps Aug. 31 in Calgary — comes exactly one week in advance of Lazaretto (Columbia/Third Man), a sequel to Blunderbuss in sequence only, if early tracks are any indication. First single “High Ball Stepper” is a warped, wordless six-string/88-key seance; “Just One Drink” sneers and veers into honky-tonk Rolling Stones territory, and the aggro-funk title track (named for a leper quarantine) is pitched between Rage Against the Machine and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, dissolving into a smeared violin meltdown. It’s blues set to a whole new rhythm. Tickets $70.65-$92.35 (includes fees). — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

THRU JUNE
Cold in July (R) 9:30 p.m. daily Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center 1618 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. (504) 352-1150 www.zeitgeistinc.net
With recent movies like Killer Joe, Mud and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, it seems we have arrived quietly at a golden age for Southern Gothic cinema. Cold in July probably ranks below those exceptional films, but that doesn’t stop this sinister thriller from wearing its black heart on its blood-soaked sleeve. Based on Joe R. Lansdale’s crime novel and set in late-1980s East Texas (the recent Southern Gothics have successfully annexed Texas, thankfully preventing the rise of Southwestern Gothic), Cold in July’s twists and turns ultimately arrive at a place completely unimaginable based on the events of the film’s first 30 minutes. Some very hokey dialogue undermines a few scenes, but not enough to break the spell. It’s amazing how effective a little unpredictability can be. Co-writer and director Jim Mickle previously has made indie horror movies including Mulberry Street and Stake Land, and there are early signs that Cold in July may go down that road. But Mickle intentionally mixes up genres, from detective fiction to buddy movies. Sharing in the mischief is Michael C. Hall (TV’s Dexter) as a mild-mannered businessman with a mullet who sets things in motion by accidentally shooting an intruder in his home. But the movie really belongs to two aging stars ready to bare their souls on screen: Sam Shepard and none other than Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame. As flamboyant private detective Jim Bob Luke, Johnson rolls into the movie driving a 1970s Dakota-red Cadillac Eldorado convertible and proceeds to chew whatever scenery is at hand. Nothing succeeds quite like success. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW
Palo Alto
It seems the life of a suburban teenager hasn’t changed much in recent decades, at least according to writer/director Gia Coppola’s Palo Alto. A third-generation filmmaker — 27-year-old granddaughter of Francis Coppola (who makes an off-screen cameo by providing the voice of a juvenile judge) and niece of Sofia — Gia Coppola captures all the familiar aimlessness and intensity of teenage life with her first feature film. She adapted the Palo Alto screenplay from the book Palo Alto (R) THRU Palo Alto: Stories at the request of JUNE 7:30 p.m. daily author James Franco (who appears in the film). The results are impresZeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary sionistic and driven by the kind of Arts Center finely drawn characters seldom 1618 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. seen in teen-centered films. Apart from Emma Roberts, who (504) 352-1150 stars as high school good-girl April www.zeitgeistinc.net in her most affecting performance yet, the ensemble cast consists mostly of actual teenagers who talk and dress like the real thing — not the mid-20s professional-actor types so often cast in these types of roles. Their muddled responses to casually predatory adults (such as Franco’s smooth-talking girls’ soccer coach Mr. B) and their own weed–smoking parents (Palo Alto is set in the medical marijuana-infused present) consistently ring true. Those in need of an epic story should look elsewhere, but there’s a subtlety of feeling in Palo Alto that gives it the air of a promising debut. — KEN KORMAN

More than 800 years ago, a sprouting Douglas fir tree pushed its way through the cool, moist soil of the Pacific Northwest. It grew tall and mighty before dying decades ago, but remained standing until it was finally felled. Cross sections of it now appear in Joseph Rossano’s Whitewashed expo. Visually minimal yet elaborate in scope, Whitewashed probes the mysteries of life, death and extinction. For instance, The Basking Shark (pictured) is an ancient vegetarian shark that can grow as big as a yacht. Slaughtered for their fins — for soup — the sharks face the destruction that wiped out the great auk and other extinct species. Like most Rossano creatures, the shark is rendered in tar and juxtaposed with a cross section of the fir tree, whose rings are nature’s time markers. Both are whitewashed, but the tar bleeds through like a dark, viscous afterimage: even whited-out species leave an imprint. A drawer on the side holds a color graph like a minimalist composition that is actually the shark’s DNA code. Rossano avoids sentimentality, so these works are stark reminders of what people have done and that we can only wonder what further mortal implications those deeds portend. The Siberian tiger, like most large mammals in Asia and Africa, faces extinction because humans value its body parts as collectibles. Like the other wall sculptures, Rossano’s piece of the same name has drawers and cellphone QR links with additional information, and the show features video explorations of color DNA codes as well as television’s history of depicting nature as a sentimental commodity. It was those mute creatures facing, or lost to, extinction that made me realize how closely connected our lives are to the faraway Polar Bear, whose icy habitat is rapidly melting. Like them, we live in a place that is washing away beneath us because of destructive industrial activities, and we are only slowly realizing that the same bell that tolls for them increasingly tolls for south Louisiana as well. — D.

New Fangled Festival of Opera 8 p.m. Thursday-Sunday Marigny Opera House 725 St. Ferdinand St., (504) 948-9998 www.marignyoperahouse.com or www.newfangledopera.org
Composer Chris Burton and singer Shelley Burton, who earned her masters degree in music from Loyola University, founded New Fangled Opera to feature young artists in new operas. The couple moved to Kansas in August 2013, but return to present the third New Fangled Festival of Opera. The program of micro-operas (10-30 minute productions accompanied by piano and minimal props) includes four one-act operas, with three new works and Mozart’s comic short piece, The Impresario, about an opera company’s rival divas (pictured). More than 70 works were submitted to the festival, and the three chosen include “Transition 1,” a scene from Alex in Transition, in which a transgender woman visits her therapist to discuss a failed love encounter. The Box Office is a short modern opera about clueless customers and customer service. In Rapture, a mother and daughter await the end of the world and prepare to deal with the aftermath. The pieces feature young professional singers and directors from across the country. — WILL COVIELLO

My name is Steve Guidry & I’m a former Disability Determinations Examiner for the State of LA. I’ll act as you or your child’s representative while you are applying for disability benefits, and, at this time, for a fee of 15% of your awarded back benefits instead of the standard 25%. I can start working for you at any point in the process prior to your claim being approved, including during an appeal after an initial denial. I will only take on a client if I believe they have a reasonable claim, which can depend on age, education, and work experience as much as the severity of the disability for an adult. Also, your ability to perform certain types of work can be just as important as the work you’ve done in the past, if you are not found disabled based on your physical, mental or emotional impairment alone. I like working directly with my clients, and will always do my best to help get deserving claims approved. I will handle all claims personally, including contacting your Disability Determinations Examiner to introduce myself and diplomatically share my thoughts on the merit of your claim. I am willing to help you fill out your on-line application for a new claim, and to break down the process for you in terms that a non-government employee can easily understand. There is no fee unless your claim is approved.
