A convention of “bronies” — adult male fans of My Little Pony — comes to New Orleans this week. Meet the men who love Rainbow Dash, Applejack and all the colorful ponies of the magical world of Equestria.

DVR My Little Pony and bring Brendan Moore, a New up the latest episode over a Orleans brony, shows off beer with a random friend some of his art inspired later in the week, and then by his fandom of My Little move on with your life until the Pony. “I used to kind of keep my fandom hidden, until next episode. probably 2013,” he says.

To be a brony means “Before it [became] more dressing up as a brony. It mainstream … I didn’t want means scouring the Internet anyone to know.” for trivia about the show. It P H OTO BY J E A NIE RIE S S means joining online groups and in-person groups and connecting with other bronies and discussing the show’s themes and singing the show’s songs. It means writing songs about the show. It means drawing and painting pictures from the show. It means contributing in whatever small way you can to making an animated television series real, to bring to life the world of Equestria, where the ponies live and sing and play and learn.

A fan-written song, “A Long Way from Equestria,” written and performed by “MandoPony” and “AcousticBrony,” deals with the complex issue of how far our reality is from the fantasy world of friendship, caring and kindness represented on the show. The video has 117,920 views on YouTube.

Many people assume the portmanteau “brony” refers to a “bro” who likes ponies. But the name actually refers to the /b/ board of the website 4chan, where brony culture originated. According to Moore, 4chan, an image hosting website, used to be completely unregulated, so people would put up all sorts of hateful things.

N.O. COMMENT What you had to say on BestofNewOrleans.com this week

My next door neighbor is a Falcons fan and also a voodoo priestess.

Her idol is Marie Laveau. She said that the name Saints is blasphemy and needs to be changed and that the dome was built on ancient burial grounds.

The Saints overall record after 40+ years is less than 50% wins. She then burnt some kind of candle and promised me a Saints loss. Should I go bust her in the mouth?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 16 > 2014

According to Brendan Moore, a New Orleans brony who moved here from Ohio to pursue a Ph.D in philosophy at Tulane University, there are about 56 My Little Pony (MLP) conventions across the U.S. each year. BronyCon, one of the biggest MLP conventions, is held in Baltimore. More than 10,000 people attended this year.

DerpyCon, the New Orleans convention, will feature discussions with Nilson. There also will be panels with artists who sketch the show’s characters, and there will be a marketplace for fans to sell the artwork that’s the result of the show’s inspiration.

Moore runs the local New Orleans brony Meetup group, which has 31 active members. When he talks about that number, he says “only,” and when I say that 31 seems like a lot, he replies that most brony Meetups, such as the one he was in when he lived in Cincinnati, have between 1,000 and 2,000 members.

Moore has degrees in philosophy, psychology and pre-law, and he has the equivalent of two masters in philosophy. He teaches at Ohio University online. “Sixty-five or 70 percent of bronies are college graduates, or are just about to graduate,” he says.

What’s Trending Online

knowledge is power

Brony-ing up

ngrid Nilson, the voice of the My Little Pony character Maud Pie, is going to be at DerpyCon South this year.

That sentence may not mean much to you — in fact, it even may not make sense — but for an entire subculture of geekdom, those words are as magical as Rainbow Dash, Applejack and all the other ponies living in the fantasy world of Equestria.

Next weekend, New Orleans will host its second annual DerpyCon South, a convention dedicated to fans of the children’s cartoon show My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (the franchise’s fourth generation, often abbreviated simply as MLP). The fans, though, won’t be little girls in pink tutus and pigtails.

They will be men, possibly dressed in pink tutus (though more likely dressed as their favorite animated horses), talking about the show’s themes, the art it inspires and other grownup topics centered on a subject many will ridicule them for having any interest in at all.

They call themselves bronies.

saying nice things,” Moore explains. “And then it ended up being banned because they were really spamming it. And it just sort of caught on as a meme.” So, /b/ + ponies = bronies.

Moore says MLP got him to start painting, and when I met him at a coffee shop in Mid-City, he brought a portfolio of his work. Every painting is a pony from the show, but rendered in creative ways, alluding to computer games, anime and other cultural outlets of so-called “geekdom.” Moore also brought an envelope of pony broadsides printed on high-quality paper and a 3D printed sculpture of one of the My Little Pony villains. He wore a MLP t-shirt. And half an hour later, after he went home to pick up a MLP DVD, he arrived at Gambit’s offices wearing a different MLP T-shirt.

When I tell Moore that I have seen the show (when I was babysitting a few months ago), his immediate question is, “Which episode?” I tell him that the one I watched centered on a birthday party, and he quickly responds: “It’s episode 25, season one, ‘Party Horse,’ Pinkie Pie’s birthday. I used to pride myself on knowing, like, ‘Oh, the song comes in at the five-minute mark.’”

Moore likes the show for a lot of reasons. “Applejack, her parents are dead,” he says. “So she’s like running the farm.

She’s an orphan character. So they deal with orphans, themes of loss, change.

The characters actually change over the seasons.”

Moore also appreciates how high the stakes are in MLP, compared with a more mainstream show like Breaking Bad. “It’s like, oh, Walter’s self-conscious,” he says of the main character of Breaking Bad. “He has to lie because he’s going through this internal struggle.

Part of me is like, I don’t care about Walter’s problems. If Walter died, nothing would happen. It isn’t like the world is going to explode. In [MLP], there’s like genocide happening.”

Troy Smith, a New Orleans brony, says discovering the show helped bring him through a bout of real depression. Like Moore, he’s well-educated, but at the time he was between jobs and couldn’t muster up the self-confidence he felt he needed.

“It was at a point where I was feeling so bad I needed to vent my rage at something,” Smith says. “I wanted to know where all these things were coming from. So I researched it. And then I decided to watch the show, because it looked OK. And then two hours later I was halfway through the season.”

For Smith, it’s the morality of the show that carried him through his tough time. “It was the simple fact of the joy that they preach of friendship,” he says.

“It got me self-confident again. Bad things will happen, but it’ll come back around. If you have friends to take you along, the bad times will eventually go away, and you’ll be where I am today,

actually.” Smith is working again as a computer programmer.

Preaching the values of love and friendship isn’t a new concept, but Smith says MLP stands out, in part because it’s wrapped in a package of the old-style cartoons he grew up watching.

That’s no surprise, since the show is produced by Lauren Faust, the same animator who created the 1990s show Powerpuff Girls.

Smith says the Louisiana Brony Facebook group only has 300 people on it. There are an estimated 12 million MLP fans in the U.S., according to the 2014 documentary A Brony Tale, so the lack of interest in New Orleans is striking.

Smith, a native of south Louisiana, says it’s because the city is more diverse than a place like Ohio. “The fans tend to sink away in their own universe, only speaking to other people that know,” he explains. “I truly think it’s because of how diverse New Orleans is. It’s such a melting pot, people generally keep to themselves or their own clique.”

Moore suggests that the stigma of a bunch of grown men who like a show targeted for preteen girls also might have something to do with it. “The thing is, I used to kind of keep my fandom hidden, until probably 2013,” he says.

“Before it [became] more mainstream … all someone knows is that you’re a fan of a children’s show targeted for girls.

It’s just a stigma as a male doing that. I didn’t want anyone to know.”

As for sexual or fetishistic interest in the colorful ponies, Moore says it’s a very small percentage of bronies, and not a big enough number to be representative of the group.

Smith says his parents weren’t exactly thrilled to learn that their son was into the show, but they’ve come around in the years since he’s been a fan, and he says they support his interest.

Moore has also become much more comfortable with his affection for ponies, with many T-shirts and other outward displays of fandom. He will talk to anyone about MLP, and he’ll even laugh at the very notion of it himself.

“It’d be like a man who was obsessed with like Barbie, that’d be sort of weird,” he jokes.

“But then again, Barbie doesn’t teleport and fight crime with a whole group of friends.”

Newsweek quoted Honore as taking a shot at a BP flack who had spoken before him; the flack defended BP’s track record and criticized “opportunistic” environmentalists. “Regardless of what that kemosabe told you, that dolphin took a hit,” Honore told the journalists.

More homeless evicted

Councilmember Gray criticizes ordinance, calls it ‘an attack’

Following last month’s clearing of a “tent city” under the Pontchartrain Expressway overpass and the Sept. 4 passage of an ordinance to ban tents and sofas from streets and rights of way, New Orleans Health Department staff handed out “vacate” notices to people living under yet another encampment — under the overpass at Camp and Calliope streets.

On Sept. 10, several homeless people had organized a brief press conference to protest the passage of a New

c’est

Orleans City Council ordinance that further banned obstructions from public rights of way (including intersections, neutral grounds, sidewalks and streets) by specifically defining those obstructions as sofas, tents and other belongings. A few hours later, those same homeless folks were ordered to leave within 72 hours.

In August, a much larger “tent city” under the expressway near the Union Passenger Terminal was broken up by the Health Department, which cited sanitation and public safety issues. City officials said it found shelter for 84 people living there, while several other people moved more than a dozen tents to the Camp and Calliope overpass.

Others say they have been turned away from shelters because of lack of space, and they say the city has not offered support to those left behind.

The ordinance had the support of the homeless outreach organization Unity of Greater New Orleans, which wrote in a Sept. 3 statement that encampments “jeopardize public health,” often become a “cover” for drug dealers and render some people vulnerable to sexual assaults.

Activist Elizabeth Cook, who has helped organize meetings and press announcements about the encampment, said in a Sept. 11 statement, “The tent encampments are a symptom of the problem, and reflection of a crisis in housing here in New Orleans, and the Mayor’s and the City Council’s answer, with the exception of two dissenting City Council votes, is simply to evict the encampments.”

Juston Winfield, a homeless man living at the encampment since early this year, said the city and service organizations such as Unity of Greater New Orleans have not reached out to people living there. “We haven’t had any reliable assistance in any way,” he said, adding that he and others are worried that homeless people will become targets for NOPD for loitering or trespassing under the new ordinance. “We already don’t have anywhere to go, the shelters are full. ... There aren’t many jobs in the city hiring. … Without tents, really I have no idea. It seems it’d be illegal for me to be on the sidewalk.”

In a Sept. 11 statement to Gambit, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s communications director Garnesha Crawford said, “Last night, the City began to actively notify the public of the PAGE 10

new laws that allow for the removal of tents, furniture and other items in order to keep public spaces clean, safe and accessible. … The City will continue to inform the public that all identified obstructions must be removed from public rights-of-way within 72 hours of notice and to transition those who are camped in areas across the city into clean and safe shelter.” City officials also want to link homeless people with the 60 service providers working with the city.

At the Sept. 4 City Council meeting, which passed the “obstruction” ordinance introduced by District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell, there were two opposing votes — District C Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey and District E Councilman James Gray.

Gray called the ordinance “an attack on the homeless.” Proponents of the measure admitted it’s an imperfect plan and promised to review how best to enforce rules and regulations.

Last week, Gray told Gambit, “If you’re going to put together a plan to deal with the problem, you need to look at the plan as one unit. You can’t make a good decision with the left half of the plan until you’ve looked at that right half.”

Gray also expressed concern about the city’s seizure of homeless property. “Do we really want a storage somewhere where we’re holding blankets and tents of homeless people?” he said. “Do we really want to seize a sleeping bag on a cold winter night?

Since we haven’t gotten to those details, we haven’t given thought to them, and once we do, we might need to take a much harder look at this.

Right now it’s not cold outside, but the Constitution still applies.”

Endorsements rolling in

Senate and House candidates get nods as election nears

With Election Day less than two months away, candidates are seeking — and getting — early endorsements from some major organizations. In the U.S. Senate race, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy touted his endorsement from the National Rifle Association, while the incumbent, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, announced her endorsement by the Louisiana Association of Educators as well as more than 500 local elected officials — Democrats and Republicans — from parishes large and small across the state.

The Louisiana Democratic Party endorsed former Gov. Edwin Edwards in

the 6th Congressional District race, a move that was predictably denounced by conservatives. Quin Hillyer, in the National Review, called it “an action of gobsmocking [sic] amorality,” while Scott McKay of the Baton Rouge website The Hayride pointed out, accurately, “They just endorsed a man who spent eight years in federal prison on public corruption charges.”

Meanwhile, Robert Mann — the reliably liberal columnist for The Times-Picayune — said the endorsement was enough to get him to change party affiliation to Republican after 30 years as a Democrat, and that he’d be voting for a Republican this fall. (Edwards tweeted a cheery goodbye message to Mann. The former governor later deleted the tweet.)

The 6th Congressional District race has no shortage of conservative candidates, but it was state Rep. Lenar Whitney who last week received the endorsement of the Tea Party of Louisiana. In recent days, Whitney told a Baton Rouge audience that her first bit of legislation in Congress would be the introduction of a bill to repeal the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v.

Wade. She also has advocated abolishing the U.S. Departments of Energy and Education.

Over in the 5th Congressional District race, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed Zach Dasher (a relative of the Duck Dynasty Robertson family) over incumbent Vance McAllister. Palin, who said she met Dasher at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans earlier this year, wrote, “Zach Dasher understands what our Founders meant by the ‘blessings of liberty’ and will be a happy, happy, happy warrior in Washington to restore them!” Palin already had endorsed Rob Maness, the tea party-favored candidate, in the Senate race led by Landrieu and Cassidy.

Locally, the Republican Party of Jefferson Parish announced its slate of endorsed candidates in the Nov. 4 elections. On the federal level, the parish GOP had earlier decided to support Cassidy for U.S. Senate, and last week the group voted to endorse incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise for re-election in the 1st Congressional District and incumbent Public Service Commissioner Eric Skrmetta in PSC District 1. Scalise was elected House Majority Whip in June.

Expect more endorsements in the next two weeks as various government groups hold candidate forums and issue their recommendations.

The audit recommends the department refund the overpayments and modify its worksheet calculation.

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

Louisiana’s clout at risk f this year’s U.S. Senate race in Louisiana seems particularly antagonistic, there’s a reason beyond the obvious: If incumbent Mary Landrieu loses to either of her Republican challengers — U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy or political newcomer Rob Maness — it may be enough to tilt the Senate from blue to red. The Senate currently has 53 Democrats and 45 Republicans. (Maine’s Angus King and Vermont’s Bernie Sanders are both independents but caucus with the Democrats.) This year, 20 Democratic incumbents are up for re-election compared to only 13 Republican senators, and a significant number of Democrats are considered vulnerable — none more so than Landrieu.

All of Landrieu’s races have been tough, but this — her fourth Senate campaign — may be her toughest. Cassidy, a physician and the mainstream Republican in the race, has been hammering her over her support of the Af-

The article noted that Cassidy himself has homes in Baton Rouge and Washington, and Maness asked the district attorneys of four parishes to investigate.

It’s a lame argument on several levels, not the least of which is the federal constitutional requirement that a senator merely live in his or her home state on Election Day, which this year is Nov. 4. Baton Rouge state Judge Wilson Fields threw out Hollis’ lawsuit earlier this month, pointing out the Election Day stipulation. (Landrieu spokesman Fabien Levy later issued a statement saying, “The judge was clear — Sen. Landrieu resides in Louisiana and is qualified to run for the Senate,” which is not at all what Fields ruled.) While hyperbole abounds in politics, the lawsuit underscored both Cassidy and Maness’ claim that Landrieu is a Washington “insider” who is out of touch with the people of Louisiana.

The notion that someone has become too comfortable in Washington has

There’s a downside to tossing out long-term incumbents. Washington runs on seniority. great appeal these days, but there’s a downside to tossing out long-term incumbents. Washington runs on seniority, which means that freshmen congressmen and senators wield the least amount of influence — and can deliver the least for their constituents. No amount of campaign rhetoric will change that. Consider this scenario: If Landrieu is defeated and U.S. Sen. David Vitter wins the governor’s race next year (he’s already running), Louisiana will have two rookie senators on Capitol Hill in 2016.

While Maness talks about “draining the swamp,” the fact that Landrieu has been in the Senate since 1997 and Vitter since 2005 — coupled with U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise’s recent election as House Majority Whip — means Louisiana has finally recaptured some of the considerable clout it once had on Capitol Hill.

Landrieu chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and Vitter is the GOP’s ranking member on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Both are critical positions for Louisiana.

Landrieu likely will never be loved by the progressive wing of the Democratic party, and Vitter will never be loved by many of his fellow Republicans. But if they both “return home” in 2015, it’s a sure bet that Louisiana will miss their clout if we are hit by another major hurricane, levee failure or coastal oil disaster.

fordable Care Act (and President Barack Obama in general). Maness, who enjoys the backing of the GOP’s tea party wing, has been bashing Landrieu and Cassidy for being part of the Beltway crowd too long. He promises to “drain the swamp” in Washington.

Lately the candidates have focused more on posturing than policy, starting with a brouhaha over Landrieu’s status as a Louisiana resident. This is nothing new. In 2008, as she was running for her third term, cellphone photos of Landrieu shopping at a Capitol Hill supermarket were proffered as evidence she lived in D.C. and not Louisiana — as if any member of Congress couldn’t be found at one time or another shopping in the nation’s capitol. Newsflash: U.S. senators and congressmen work in Washington. They have to live there most of the year.

That didn’t stop state Rep. Paul Hollis, R-Covington (who dropped out of the race earlier this year), from filing a lawsuit last month claiming that Landrieu doesn’t live in Louisiana and is therefore ineligible to run. Landrieu lists her childhood home in New Orleans’ Broadmoor neighborhood as her official residence.

The house in fact is owned by a partnership of Landrieu, her mother and her siblings, all of whom own equal shares.

Landrieu says she stays there on her trips back home.

In The Washington Post article that “broke” the story, Cassidy was quoted as saying, “She doesn’t live in New Orleans.”

of whatever race. But the magnitude of the problem may not nullify the principle.

And that principle is that we are, all of us, freeborn Americans, with a right to make our way, unfettered by sanctions imposed by man because of the work of God.” In 1962, President John F. Kennedy appointed Wright to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — an appointment that got him and his family safely out of hostile New Orleans.

Despite the harsh treatment he received here, he never lost his affection for his hometown. Wright died in Washington in 1988.

Next month, Wright’s law school alma mater will honor his legacy by establishing the J. Skelly Wright Memorial Fund. Loyola has commissioned local sculptor Thomas Bruno to create a bronze bust of Wright to be placed at the law school’s entrance, and the memorial will fund a scholarship to the law school.

The bust will be unveiled on Oct. 24 after a daylong symposium honoring Wright and his contributions to civil rights and law.

Loyola is seeking contributions to the Memorial Fund. Hopefully, the local legal and business communities that shunned Wright during his lifetime will see fit to honor him now.

Skelly Wright Memorial Fund may be sent to Loyola’s College of Law, 7214 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118 — or via the school’s website at giving.loyno. edu (specify it’s for the J.

ifty years ago, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Act guaranteed voting rights and access to public accommodations to black Americans, and Congress strengthened it several times to enable its effective enforcement. The anniversary of its passage has been observed in many ways across our nation and in New Orleans.

Years before President Lyndon Johnson signed the Act, federal courts began striking down segregationist laws. Civil rights advocates recognized early on that legislative bodies moved too slowly and too imprecisely to achieve the aim of equal rights. They turned instead to the courts for relief.

The civil rights movement has many heroes, but few of them held public office in the South during the 1950s. One of them was Judge J. Skelly Wright.

Wright was part of a three-judge federal panel that ordered the integration of LSU Law School in 1950 — four years before the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

Wright had been appointed to the federal bench only a year earlier by President Harry Truman.

A New Orleans native who graduated from Loyola Law School’s evening program, Wright wrote the court’s opinion in the LSU Law School case. A year later, a young black student named Ernest N. Morial enrolled at LSU Law School. Morial, of course, went on to become New Orleans’ first black mayor in 1978.

Wright went on to pen many civil rights opinions, including one in 1956 that ordered the integration of New Orleans public schools. He also ordered the desegregation of City Park’s swimming pools in 1957, local streetcars and buses in 1958, public sporting events in 1958 and the public schools of East Baton Rouge and St. Helena parishes in 1960.

He likewise barred Washington Parish from purging blacks from voter registration rolls.

Wright’s rulings in civil rights cases put him at odds with many of his white peers. His family was ostracized socially and became the frequent target of threats — including a cross burning on his front lawn.

He did not back down. In fact, his opinion in the New Orleans public schools case contained one of the most eloquent and oft-quoted moral imperatives of civil rights jurisprudence: “The problem of changing a people’s mores, particularly those with an emotional overlay, is not to be taken lightly.

It is a problem which will require the utmost patience, understanding, generosity and forbearance from all of us,

“Magdalena” blends several styles, beginning as a funky track with a snaky melody, ultimately ending in what you’d expect to hear coming from the corner of a smoky New Orleans bar. Watkins, who plays saxophone and a handful of other instruments and also sings on the album, is partial to the jazz funeral number, aptly titled “In Your Mind,” which carefully balances structure with improvisation, complete with all the fanfare of a hot New Orleans day but with nods to the influence of New Orleans musicians of days gone by, namely James Booker and King.

it ran its course. “I never really went for it,” he says. “When I saw that band break up I was like, ‘I need to do something.’” With Cardinal Sons, John pens bright, three-partharmony power pop, which earned them a chance to record with veteran producer Charlie Sexton.

On the resulting The Echo Choir EP, the band carves out Spoon-like grooves on “Casanova” and “Blood” and opens

up confident, piano-driven rock on tracks like the addictive single “Days of Summer.”

While Shirley is grateful for the studio-polished gift that seemingly fell into the band’s lap, “I don’t want to play acoustic guitar anymore on record,” he says, laughing. “I want to rock out a lot more on record.” Cardinal Sons’ full-length album will be the band’s first brush with album

concepts, looking to Arcade Fire and Beck — artists who’ve moved nimbly from concept album to concept album. “Otherwise we don’t really have anything you can sink your teeth into,” Shirley says. “We’re just three white dudes playing rock ’n’ roll.”

Though Ouroboros (Louisiana Red Hot Records) is the third album from the New Orleans Suspects, CR Gruver, who’s on keyboards, electric kazoo, drums and vocals, says it’s really more like the band’s first.

“It’s our first all-original studio (album), so we’re kind of putting it out there, making a statement as to who we are as a band and who we are, musically,” he says. “There were a lot of misconceptions about who we were in the beginning, people thought we were just a supergroup, just a collection of people from other bands. We felt like we were more than that, more of an actual band.”

Jake Eckert and Jeff Watkins both helped write and produce the album, out Oct. 14. Eckert, who’s on strings, drums and vocals, says the album attempts to walk listeners through various styles of New Orleans music, track by track. “From New Orleans

THE HONORABLE SOUTH

WHO WHAT ELECTRIC- AND SOUL-DRIVEN ROCK

Taylor sings soulfully and lapses into more fast-paced hip-hop flow over jangling guitars, 808 drumbeats and production by rap producer and guitarist Danny Kartel. April release Faithful, Brave & Honest features slain New Orleans rapper Soulja Slim.

Taylor grew up in St. Louis listening to Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone and Ike and Tina Turner. A commitment to social justice brought her to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and she’s transformed from a socially conscious poet and activist (and teacher) to singer/

songwriter.

In 2008, she met guitarist Matthew Rosenbeck at a spoken word event, and the two formed the basis of Honorable South.

Rosenbeck is a guitarist with interests in rock and metal, and he moved to New Orleans from Connecticut 13 years ago.

Taylor and Rosenbeck enlisted drummer Jamal Batiste (who appears in the James Brown biopic Get On Up) to play on an EP (Dirty in the Light) in 2009. The band grew to include Lumar and Kartel on the 2012 release I Love My Tribe. In April, the band performed at its first New Orleans Jazz

& Heritage Festival as it released Faithful, Brave & Honest. The recent album shows the band coalescing as a group and more comfortably blending electronic, soul, rock and folk sounds.

“We wanted a more succinct end result.

But we didn’t want to take out the 808, or the deep trap, or the high intensity electric chords.

When Charm Taylor first experimented with putting a band together in 2007 at Covington’s Green Room, she used different group names for the shows, including You Do It. “I just couldn’t contain all the energy that builds in me when I start to tell a story,” Taylor says. “I would have tambourine and bass and my voice and this little body and try to figure out how to do it all at once, and then I’d say, ‘If you think this is easy, you do it.’”

Winslow-King and his band recently returned from extensive touring throughout the U.S. and Europe, and the upcoming year will feature the usual road-heavy schedule. But the majority of the band’s gigs are in New Orleans through October. Winslow-King says while touring in support of Everlasting Arms will come eventually, he’s going to enjoy his time back in New Orleans for now.

Orleans are a certain breed of dog,” she says.

“I was in a dark place, but a beautiful dark place. … I spent a year walking that line.”

Koerner moved to New Orleans after connecting with artists like Shaw, Kristin Diable and Andrew Duhon.

Her band — featuring Chris Lippincott, Devin Kerrigan, Jesse Smith and Joe and David Shirley — fleshed out Neutral Ground’s compositions, powered

by Koerner’s gospel choir-sized voice, a force of nature she reigns in and rides as it whips thundering highs and lows. “My bones had to be in New Orleans,” she says.

Following a fall tour, Koerner plans to devote

time to studio-focused songs co-written with artists whose work she admires, including songwriter and producer Jim McCormick and Texas songwriter Shakey Graves.

EE “Put my hand 5 PA G E 1 in as many baskets as possible,” she says.

“It’s such an idiotic thing that I’m going to make these better songs by myself. But I want to come at it from a studio standpoint, not as a bleeding heart drunk.”

Hudleston’s soaring horns.

“It took me many years to grow into what I was looking for,” says McKee, who played the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with Little Maker in 2014. “It turned out all I was looking for was being

THE NEW ORLEANS DUO RETURNS WITH ITS FOURTH ALBUM, ALIX. New Orleans’ preeminent pop songwriters Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer, the duo behind Generationals, release their fourth album, Alix, Sept. 16. It’s their second release for Polyvinyl Records, and first under the helm of producer and songwriter Richard Swift, who has produced albums for simpatico pop outfits The Shins and Foxygen, among others.

Joyner and Widmer anticipated Swift starting from scratch and filtering Generationals’ computerpowered pop through his decidedly traditionalist technique and vintage vibe. “We didn’t know how radically [the songs would] be changed when we brought them to Swift,” Joyner says. “We thought of them as demos.”

“Instead, he was like, ‘No, I’ve been listening to these songs and I think they should be as they are,’” Widmer says. “We were like, ‘OK, I guess we’ll do that? That’s cool, this guy we love and has great taste thinks what we did is good enough that it’s almost done. Is he being lazy?’

We’d definitely go home at the end of the sessions, thinking, ‘Is he trying to get out of doing a more involved PALLBEARER, TOMBS

session?’ We definitely pressed him on that, that this was the right production for this record, and we felt convinced.”

The album’s first singles, album opener “Black Lemon” and “Gold Silver Diamond,” pulse with bubbling synths and sticky-sweet chimes bouncing along drum machines, all given a warm glow under Swift’s direction. The album also branches ’80s funk and falsetto dance-pop, Prince-like hooks and the kind of confident power pop Joyner and Widmer have been waiting to achieve, tinkering in their New Orleans homes and sharing bits and pieces.

“Writing mode, recording mode, rehearsing mode, and tour mode, then it kind of starts over again,” Joyner says. “Each time we get back from that tour, when it’s time for another record, it’s the most exciting time for me. The anxiety of, ‘Holy shit, do we have another record in us?’ It’s scary, you’re starting from scratch each time, but it’s also our moment to repaint the picture with where we are and the kinds of songs we want to make.” — ALEX WOODWARD HOUSE OF BLUES

Roll out the Louisiana Craft Brewer Week celebrates the state’s breweries.

he second annual Louisiana Craft Brewer Week (LaCBW), Sept. 22-28, focuses on collaboration and creativity.

Gnarly Barley Brewing Company in Hammond and Chafunkta Brewing Company in Mandeville collaborated on a black IPA called Black Tooth Grin, to be exclusively released during LaCBW. Gnarly Barley co-founder Cari Caramonta says they’re proud to be a part of the first production brewery collaboration in the state.

“Zac [Caramonta, of Gnarly Barley] and Josh [Erickson, of Chafunkta] met through their homebrew club, Mystic Krewe of Brew, and this is a tip of the hat to their roots.”

They brewed six slim kegs of the beer that will only be available at the six LaCBW events listed on the schedule.

Baton Rouge beer blogger and writer Jay Ducote of Bite & Booze (www.biteandbooze. com) hosts the Louisiana Brewers Bash at The Irish House, an event that will feature two beers from every Louisiana brewery available in the market.

“Most brewers are showcasing a specialty brew or cask as well as a seasonal or flagship,” Ducote says. “Damian Sheridan, the manager at The Irish House, suggested that we team up on an event for Louisiana Craft Brewer Week, and I loved the idea. We started working everything out with the brewers about a month ago and quickly got so much interest that we decided to feature two beers from all nine available breweries.”

Jeremy “Beer Buddha” Labadie has been blogging about Louisiana craft beer for years and is the co-author of New Orleans

Beer: A Hoppy History of Big Easy Brewing, released earlier this year. This year he helped organize two events with local breweries at local businesses: Redneck Romp at Squeal BBQ with Chafunkta Brewing and a beer and chicken wings pairing at Barrel Proof with Black Label Barbecue (details TBA).

The beer styles offered at this year’s LaCBW are a far cry from what was available in past years. This year there are several wild/sour ales, spontaneously fermented with lactobacillus and brettanomyces, which creates sour, funky flavors that evolving palates in the Louisiana craft beer scene are beginning to appreciate.

“Can you believe it?” asks Polly Watts, owner of The Avenue Pub, which hosts several events. “Three breweries doing some kind of sour this year, barrel-aged beers are all over the place and (there is) a single hop series. How far we have come!”

The menu features a number of “tapas themed” meatballs as well as cocktails to celebrate the opening of the back bar at Oxalis.

Nuevo Latino

Mayas (2027 Magazine St., 504309-3401; www.mojitoland.com) — the Lower Garden District spot for nuevo Latino cuisine — reopened last week for lunch and dinner after remodeling.

The new space is painted a sultry red, with bejeweled lamps dripping from the ceiling and a variety of holdover sculptures (lizards, wooden masks) decorating the walls. The space also boasts additional seating options and a greatly expanded bar area.

The menu still focuses on pan-Latin favorites, including corn crab fingers with red peppers, scallions and a yuca puff, carnitas pibil with thick slivers of queso fresco and sweetened honey plantains flambeed for dramatic flair. The building’s exterior (which was repainted in shades of yellow, blue and red for a spell this summer) has returned to its more sophisticated roots with a glossy black paint job. — SARAH BAIRD PAGE 24

hile many restaurants describe themselves as a “neighborhood spot,” it’s a title that has to be earned. If budding restaurateurs need inspiration for how to build their own local haunt, they can look to Old Arabi Eats. The restaurant boasts a diverse, joyous mix of clientele, serving burgers to international college students and hanger steaks to longtime Arabi families. Old Arabi’s fusion of new and old, familiar and unexpected both on and off the menu creates a memorable dining experience.

The charmingly informal decor at Old Arabi Eats is a quirky fusion of Green Acres and the New York Public Library, creating an ambience that’s relaxed without being sloppy and erudite without being uppity. Booth seating resembles the slatted wood park benches often found in country diners, and knickknacks — from nutcrackers to Scrabble boards — are charmingly eclectic. A shelf running along the bar is stocked with books suited for literary epicures, with John Updike novels and James Beard’s American Cookery standing side-by-side. The mix of music playing in the dining room is eclectic in the best possible way — with Nina Simone deep cuts, Big Star and lost tracks from Mermaid Avenue.

Some may say its small menu — offering a handful of appetizers and a smattering of entrees — is too limited, but Old Arabi Eats subscribes to an approach new restaurateurs should embrace: serving a few phenomenal dishes is far preferable to serving a smorgasbord of mediocre ones.

In an area with an ever-raging battle over who makes the best gumbo, it’s refreshing to find a spot that serves its cousin: chili. Clusters of ground beef and earthy black beans are enveloped in a thick, charcoal-colored cloud of peppery spice, littered with emerald slivers of jalapeno and a dusting of Cotija cheese. If you’ve spurned chili in the past, Old Arabi Eats’ version is worthy of a new chance. The Caesar salad — a dish often reduced to salad cream dumped over a bowl of romaine — tastes appropriately piscine, with the dressing’s anchovy flavor serving as a briny foil to freshly sheared Parmesan. The food is often bold in its simplicity, solid in flavor without any newfangled bells and whistles.

The pork chop is a mainstay on a menu of consistently rotating items, and for good reason. Calling the chop “thick cut” doesn’t do justice to its behemoth size, but the meat retains its juiciness from a long

Get ready, New York, Cajun cuisine is headed your way.

Cochon’s (930 Tchoupitoulas St., 504 588-2123; www.cochonrestaurant.com) Chef de Cuisine Matt Woodall will lead the charge as Cochon takes over Momofuku Ssam (207 Second Ave., New York, 212-254-3500; www.momofuku. com/new-york/ssam-bar) as part of its late night dining series (which typically starts at 11:45 p.m.). Momofuku Ssam is one of New York chef David Chang’s eateries, known for pork dishes, noodle bars and not particularly vegetarian-friendly menus. Details are still in flux, but the event is scheduled to take place on Oct. 7, and tickets go on sale Sept. 16.

Whether or not Momofuku Ssam will reciprocate the road trip is still up in the air, but one would hope it will bring its pork buns to New Orleans. Momofuku has a history of reciprocity, traveling to Chicago for a night at The Publican (www.thepublicanrestaurant. com) and Philadelphia to Zahav (www.zahavrestaurant.com) after those restaurants sent chefs to the East Village space.

3-COURSE interview

Cierra Varnado Student

811 Conti St. • 504.522.3573

Cierra Varnado is a senior in the culinary arts program at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA). She and three of her classmates will be the first class to complete the program when they graduate this spring.

Varnado spoke with Gambit about her favorite food memories, career plans and how to keep organized in the kitchen.

erinrosebar.com WAKE UP & LIVE SPECIALS! 10AM-2PM

What inspired you to pursue cooking as a career?

What do you want to do once you graduate?

V: Over time, my career plans have really changed. At the end of [9th grade], I decided I didn’t want a TV show but I wanted to own my own catering company. Catering seems to be more organized than running a restaurant, and I’m very organized. I’m also into meeting new people and establishing relationships, and you can’t really do that when you’re in the kitchen, in the back.

Right now I’m working with chef [Frank] Brigtsen at his restaurant once a week on Saturday nights, and he’s my mentor.

My favorite kind of foods I’m interested in are cured meats and sausages — things you would find on a charcuterie board. I also really like to caramelize things, and my teachers say I’m good at it.

Have you been able to combine the culinary arts program with any of your other classes?

V: Yes, definitely! In science, we’re doing bioengineering, so the kitchen is being used to grow herbs that are hybrids and learn more about GMO testing.

In my humanities class, when we were talking about racism and Cuvier’s theory of race, I made cake balls to represent the different races according to his theory. They all tasted different, but I made them all red to show that we’re all the same on the inside. — SARAH BAIRD

Varnado: I remember being really small and watching the Food Network and Travel Channel and seeing people like Anthony Bourdain traveling around and cooking and talking with people. I wanted my own show like that, since I love food and love traveling and want to do more of it.

One of my teachers when I was in 8th grade at [Andrew H.] Wilson Charter School told me about the culinary program, and it just felt like destiny, because I was going into 9th grade and NOCCA was starting their new culinary program beginning with 9th graders.

BEER buzz Pizza and beer is a classic combination, and New Orleans pizza restaurants have embraced craft beer as half of the equation.

Crescent Pie & Sausage Company (www.crescentpieandsausage.com), which closed its Banks Street location and will reopen on Tulane Avenue on the former site of Pizzicare, was a pioneer, being among the first restaurants to support the emerging craft beer market. Derek Domingue, Bayou Teche Brewing’s (www. bayoutechebrewing.com) director of sales, Pizza Domenica serves says Crescent Pie & Sausage was its first New craft beer and pizza baked Orleans draft account in 2009. in a wood-burning oven.

Pizza Domenica’s (4933 Magazine St., 504301-4978; www.pizzadomenica.com) dedication to craft beer goes back to General Manager Stephen Jeffcoat’s stint at Domenica.

Domenica has had a consistently diverse, high-quality bottle list, and Pizza Domenica goes one step further with a 12-tap draft system that focuses on regional and Italian craft beer to pair with wood-fired pizza.

Ancora (4508 Freret St., 504-324-1636; www.ancorapizza.com), the farm-to-table Neapolitan restaurant, has one of the most interesting draft beer selections in the city. Chef Jeff Talbot and General Manager Bryn Thompson always make sure Louisiana beers — currently Parish Brewing’s (www.parishbeer.com) South Coast amber ale — are represented as well as American craft breweries such as Green Flash (www.greenflashbrew.com) and Lagunitas Brewing Company (www.lagunitas.com). Midway Pizza (4725 Freret St., 504-322-2815; www.midwaypizzanola.com) also boasts an impressive selection of craft brew taps.

At Pizza Delicious (617 Piety St., 504-676-8482; www.pizzadelicious.com), owners Mike Friedman and Greg Augarten wanted a great beer list to pair with New Yorkstyle pies. Brooklyn Brewing’s Brewer’s Select special release beer is always available on draft, and there are brews from NOLA Brewing, Ommegang and Founders.

Dolce Vita (1205 St. Charles Ave., 504-324-7674; www.dolcevitanola.com) offers a small selection, but it’s locally focused with beers from Tin Roof, NOLA, Parish and Abita. — NORA McGUNNIGLE Email Nora McGunnigle at nora@nolabeerblog.com

WINE of the week 2012 Casa Silva Carmenere C OLCH AGUA VA L L E Y, CHIL E RETAIL $17

One of Chile’s most vibrant viticultural areas, Colchagua Valley, produces some of its finest wines. Located 110 miles south of Santiago, the valley is situated in the southernmost part of the larger Rapel Valley. The Silva family pioneered winemaking in the valley more than 120 years ago. The vineyards bask in summer sunlight and the Pacific Ocean’s chilly breezes cool the vines, and red grapes thrive in these fluctuating temperatures. At an elevation of 1,500 feet, 14-year-old carmenere vines are planted in alluvial clay, sand and decomposed granite soils. Following harvest, the grapes were destemmed and cold soaked in stainless steel tanks for eight days followed by another eight days of fermentation. Eighty percent of the wine was aged in oak for 12-18 months before blending. The wine offers aromas of ripened wild berries, wood, spice notes and cassis. On the palate, taste blackberry, plum, cherry and hints of black pepper with fine-grained tannins on the lingering finish. Decant 20 minutes before serving. Drink it with meatballs, rack of lamb, veal cheeks, pork loin and steak. Buy it at: Second Vine Wine and Martin Wine Cellar in Metairie and Mandeville. Drink it at: Emeril’s New Orleans. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

what to know before you go

Adult Swim team Tim and Eric perform at Civic Theatre.

By Charles Bramesco

T

“It’s fun for us to get that immediate reaction [from the audience],” Heidecker says. “When we do the TV show, we’re in our editing room and we’re removed from the public. So it’s fun to go out there, do something physical and get an immediate laugh.”

Tim and Eric’s upcoming brainchild returned them to the editing room. Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories airs on Adult Swim this fall, and it’s a departure from the frenetic sketch comedy of Awesome Show. Bedtime Stories takes the shape of a suspense series (think Twilight Zone on peyote). Heidecker says the anthology format brings a clean slate every week, affording a great degree of freedom.

“The original idea was that every week, we’d do whatever we wanted to do with that time,” Heidecker says. “As we started making it, we started drifting towards a darker tone. We felt it suited the style of the show better, but there are lighter episodes as well. Our intention was to bring a new thing every week. Some will be sillier, some will be about getting buried alive.”

Between the gross-out gags and experimental transgressions, both Awesome Show and Bedtime Stories have a way of rankling viewers.

“We want our work to be visceral and to create reactions from people, not be a passive experience that you can disengage from,” Heidecker says. It should be something that surrounds you and shakes you up.

I think that’s what all great art Tim and Eric star in the Adult should do.”

Swim show Bedtime Stories.

As busy as the two are, P H OTO C O U R T E S Y A D U LT S W IM Heidecker has managed to fit other projects into his schedule.

He appeares in the upcoming Tim and Eric SEPT Merry Friggin’ Christmas, one 8 p.m. Friday of the final films to feature Civic Theatre Robin Williams, who died Aug. 11. Heidecker regularly hosts On 510 O’Keefe Ave. Cinema, a podcast parody lam(504) 272-0865 pooning windbag film critics. In Rick Alverson’s film The Comedy, www.civicnola.com Heidecker starred as a remorselessly self-centered Brooklynite who takes sick glee in all sorts of edgy humor — racial, scatological or sexual — until he’s faced with the death of his father. It is a surprisingly nuanced performance in comparison to the over-the-top mania of Awesome Show. Heidecker has no current plans to return to such weighty fare, but would explore his options if the right script came along, he says.

And he’s always working up ideas for Tim and Eric, such as a follow-up to 2012’s Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie.

“We go to Africa to watch a version of Saturday Night Live there.”

im Heidecker and Eric Wareheim rose to fame through a surreally silly comic sensibility, but the pair’s work ethic is deadly serious. The alt-comedy duo, known by their cultlike fanbase simply as Tim and Eric, has spent the last year juggling a bizarro musical tour, a new TV program and a string of live comedy shows, the latest of which comes to the Civic Theatre Friday. The tour is the pair’s latest project, though the diversity of Tim and Eric’s past work makes it difficult to guess what the show will entail.

“It’s multimedia, for sure,” Heidecker says. “We combine live performance with an audiovisual component to emulate the TV stuff. It’s sort of a traveling Tim and Eric off-Broadway idiotic spectacle, a nonsense-driven stupidity.”

Those unfamiliar with the pair’s past work may be confused — and possibly revolted — by the show. The duo’s greatest claim to fame, Adult Swim’s Tim And Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, combined public access TV aesthetics, Dadaist tangents and poop jokes to the point it seemed like an assault on the senses more than a comedy sketch show. In a fairly typical sketch, a commercial for the Lazy Horse Mattress Store, Will Forte plays a salesman who settles down for a nap and enters a traumatizing hellscape of night terrors. In the lunatic world of Tim and Eric, the merely odd takes a hard turn into the realm of confusion or terror. Heidecker says his sense of humor might not be for everyone.

“We see a fair amount of horrified, perplexed faces out there in the crowd, but we don’t get too many complaints,” Heidecker says. “We must be doing something right.”

The Civic show will open with the musical stylings of Los Angeles’ DJ Douggpound and also will feature a guest appearance from John C. Reilly as Awesome Show mainstay Dr. Steve Brule, who also stars in the Adult Swim spinoff Check it Out! with Dr. Steve Brule.

Tim and Eric came through New Orleans with a decidedly different supporting cast in June. The duo’s swamp rock musical outfit Pusswhip Banggang delivered a memorable show at The Howlin’ Wolf. Clad in a variety of wigs and gloriously tacky outfits, Tim and Eric delivered a set that half-celebrated, half-satirized the blistering banjo pickings and extended solos of Southern rock. Midway through the show, Wareheim took a hefty rip from an instrument/pipe called a “saxabong” and then played it to the uproarious approval of the crowd.

MUSIC LISTINGS PREVIEW

Earth and The Afghan Whigs

It’s nitpicking, but the rock gods got the order of this preternatural, purgatorial double feature wrong: In heaven, as it is on Ani DiFranco albums, the hedonistic reveling of an Afghan Whigs (pictured) reunion comes before the inevitable reckoning of Earth, not after. Or maybe Earth, 8 p.m. Thursday SEPT God passed altogether on One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse St. this match made in hell, Greg (504) 569-8361 Dulli’s twilight sinners having their long-awaited come-towww.oneeyedjacks.net Satan at the sludgy cracks of Dylan Carlson’s Judgement The Afghan Whigs, 9 p.m. Saturday Day gavel. How fitting, then, SEPT that when a bailiff rises all on Civic Theatre, 510 O’Keefe Ave. “There is a Serpent Coming” (504) 272-0865 — the second song on the practically eponymous Primwww.civicnola.com itive and Deadly (Southern Lord), and the first vocals to grace an Earth record in 18 years — it’s none other than Mark Lanegan, Dulli’s shadow in the Twilight Singers and dark side personified on the Gutter Twins’ post-Hurricane Katrina curfew break, Saturnalia.

“I see a beast is coming,” Lanegan intones, in his stone-faced baritone, on “Serpent,” staring down Carlson’s six-string Medusa. Is that a wink at his longtime friend, whose 16-year Afghan Whigs hiatus ended with the April release Do to the Beast (Sub Pop)? Airs of conspiracy and confession choke Dulli, too, as he wavers between his heaviest and lightest impulses, the metallic attack of opener “Parked Outside” and strange-brew decay of “Algiers.” “Let it be light, baby/ Where there’s none,” he sings on “The Lottery,” reversing it for the second verse: “Let it be night, lady/ Watch them run.” In Dulli’s heaven, as it is on Earth albums, he is both angel of darkness and demon of light. King Dude opens for Earth. Tickets $14. Joseph Arthur and King James and the Special Men open for The Afghan Whigs. Tickets $30.

REVIEW

Dennis Lehane knows how to tell a crime story. His best-selling novels include Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, both of which found bigger audiences and won multiple awards in their feature film adaptations. Lehane The Drop earned awards for his work on David Directed by Michael R. Roskam Simon’s HBO series The Wire, but he Starring James Gandolfini, had never written a screenplay until Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and The Drop. Adapted from Lehane’s short story Animal Rescue, The Drop has all Matthias Schoenaerts the author’s signature elements: It’s Limited release a streetwise, tough-as-nails story of working class people in marginal neighborhoods as they face life-or-death situations. It’s a bit light on plot but rich and subtle as a character study, as if Lehane had finally found the broad canvas he needed to bring his literary characters to life. Belgian director Michael R. Roskam (the Oscar-nominated director of Bullhead) assembled an ideal cast, including James Gandolfini in his final performance.

Though almost all of Lehane’s stories come from the Boston streets where he grew up, The Drop finds its place in outer-borough Brooklyn, among neighborhoods still unchanged by gentrification. Old-school bar Cousin Marv’s is owned by the Chechen mafia and randomly serves as a “drop” for the day’s illicit proceeds.

Marv (Gandolfini) runs the bar, but he remembers better times — before the mob muscled in — when he ran his own small-time crew and had the neighborhood’s respect. Lonely and soft-spoken Bob (Tom Hardy) tends the bar. His life begins to change when he finds a beaten dog in a trash can outside the home of the mysterious Nadia (Noomi Rapace). Neighborhood tensions escalate when masked gunmen rob Cousin Marv’s, initiating a series of events that force the characters to confront past demons and attempt to repair broken lives. There’s always an unspoken shot at redemption for the people in Lehane’s world, especially those most forgotten or seemingly unworthy.

Director Roskam and cinematographer Nicolas Karakatsanis even used the paintings of early 20th century American-urban realist George Wesley Bellows as inspiration. As effective as it is, this setting mainly provides a backdrop for Lehane’s flesh-and-blood characters. Rapace (the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone) — who plays Eric Deeds, the neighborhood sociopath — work wonders with spare dialogue. But the movie evolves into a tour-de-force for English actor Hardy. From featured roles in movies like Inception and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to his turn as the villain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, Hardy has quietly become one of filmmakings’ finest actors.

The story moves away from Gandolfini’s Marv, but that only allows the actor to do what he did best: work solely for the greater good of whatever project he took on. He brings a deep humanity to the troubled Marv. It’s hard to imagine a more fitting swan song for James Gandolfini than The Drop. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

Segregation Story

At first glance, many of these photographs of Alabama in 1956 suggest the mellow, nostalgic visions of traditional American life that we associate with Norman Rockwell’s illustrations or Ronald Reagan’s speeches. Look again, and many of the people in these pictures appear clustered near signs announcing “White” or “Colored” that imposed race-based restrictions on their freedom.

Scenes that appeal to Segregation Story: Photographs of our nostalgia for a more THRU “innocent” time turn out to SEPT mid-1950s Alabama by Gordon Parks be more like South Africa’s Arthur Roger Gallery, 434 Julia St. sinister apartheid era.

(504) 522-1999 They are the work of the late Gordon Parks, whose www.arthurrogergallery.com dramatic photo essays for LIFE magazine presaged his later career as a filmmaker, and the cinematic contrast of blatant racism appearing in otherwise innocent-looking places underscores this paradoxical and strangely misanthropic twist in our history.

In Department Store, Mobile Alabama, 1956 (pictured), a primly dressed woman and her daughter stand on the sidewalk below a sign spelling out “Colored Entrance” in big red neon letters in a scene that in purely visual terms resonates nostalgia, which only makes its symbolism all the more chilling. At an old time Dairy Freeze, signs advertising shakes and sundaes share space with others announcing “White” and “Colored” service windows. Parks’ photos of Alabama black folks at home evoke a sense of old-time Americana worthy of Grant Wood, and although he was later better known for images of tumultuous civil rights protests, it is hard to imagine pictures that convey the sheer freakishness of the racist past more effectively than these Segregation Story photographs. Lost for decades, they turned up in 2012, and will soon appear in a book and a major exhibit at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art. They also provide a context for Ti-Rock Moore’s recent civil rights-inspired works at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and Gallery Twenty-One Fourteen, where a neon sign candidly spells out “White Privilege” among other works reminding us that vestiges of white supremacy linger on, and we can only wonder how historians will view this period a half century from now. — D.

THEATER

In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, criminal Randle Patrick McMurphy fakes being a sociopath so he can serve his sentence at a mental institution instead of a labor farm. In the hospital, he meets eight men suffering from mental illness. They bond over card games, cigarettes and, eventually, rebellion against the controlling Nurse Ratched.

One Flew Over SEPT Produced by The NOLA Project, the Cuckoo’s Nest Cuckoo takes the audience on 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. an emotional journey through the dark corners of the characNOCCA, Nims Black Box ters’ minds.

Theatre, 2800 Chartres St. In Dale Wasserman’s adapta(504) 302-9117 tion of Ken Kesey’s novel, the show examines mental illness www.nolaproject.com and treatment in the 1960s.

Electric shock treatments are used and also seem to be used as punishment.

Threat of lobotomy looms and there are endless group therapy meetings.

The NOLA Project transforms NOCCA’s Nims Black Box Theatre into a gray, institutional setting. Rows of chairs are set up on three sides. Nurse Ratched (Amy Alvarez) barks orders (“Take your pills”) from a glassed-in enclave.

The story follows the charismatic McMurphy (Alex Martinez Wallace). He’s loud, aggressive and willing to say anything to stay in the asylum. Wallace seems born for the role of the brash McMurphy, and he imbues the character with manic energy. He goes from frantic (when he realizes what “committed” actually means) to surprisingly sympathetic, offering friendship to the skittish patient Dale Harding (A.J. Allegra). He also bonds with Billy Bibbit (Levi Hood) whose overwhelming need for his mother’s approval has saddled him with extreme anxiety. When he’s nervous, Billy stutters. Hood embodies this character physically, at times seeming to shrink himself, and emotionally, breaking down in one of the show’s most affecting moments.

Nurse Ratched says one of the patients, Chief Bromden (Michael Aaron Santos), is “deaf and dumb.” At first, Chief does little more than chew gum and push a broom in endless circles. There are moments when he is alone and talks to his deceased father. Chief’s backstory concerns his father, who was caught between his tribe and the U.S. government’s actions to claim their land. A sense of powerlessness frames his state of mind, but Santos plays Chief with dignity, and his arc is one of the most satisfying.

An avid gambler, McMurphy bets the other patients he can get the “controlling monster” Nurse Ratched to crack. The interactions between Wallace and Alvarez pop with intensity and build to a breathtaking confrontation.

Cuckoo marks the beginning of The NOLA Project’s 10th year. The show is an ambitious choice, especially because of the shadow cast over it by Milos Forman’s film version, which starred Jack Nicholson and swept the Academy Awards. It’s an excellent start to the season. — TYLER GILLESPIE
