SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Roky returns

The Courtneys THU. OCT. 5 | Riding on the trebly twang of jangly post-punk predecessors, Vancouver trio The Courtneys — the first non-New Zealand band on the influential Flying Nun Records label — unleashes waves of droning melodies and addictive sweet-sour power-pop on 2017 album The Courtneys II. Vile Bodies opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Roky Erickson performs the songs of 13th Floor Elevators at 2017’s Ponderosa Stomp

Book of Saints FRI.-SUN. OCT. 6-8 | The Marigny Opera Ballet opens its season with the premiere of a full-length ballet about the lives of three saints — St. Teresa of Avila, St. Sebastian and St. Francis — performed to an original score for a chamber orchestra by Tucker Fuller. At 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday at Marigny Opera House.

BY ALEX WOODWARD @ALEXWOODWARD “WE HAVE A CLEAR SIGNAL!”

Roky Erickson beams over the phone from his home in Austin, Texas, where he recently celebrated his 70th birthday. Everyone was invited. “We did have a good time,” he says. A July concert at the American Legion Charles Johnson House honored Erickson, widely revered in his hometown as a rock ’n’ roll hero, a living legend to whom countless bands are indebted for his 13th Floor Elevators — propelled by wavy, trebly riffs, chugging bass lines, an electric jug and Erickson’s unmistakable howl. A phone call with Erickson is a brief, cheerful ramble through the psychedelic rock progenitor’s faded memories, and a gentle but excited window into his quiet life away from the stage: reading, sending mail, drawing in notebooks. He doesn’t want to dwell on darkness, which shrouds a great deal of his story — his time at Rusk State Hospital, where he was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy, his battles with schizophrenia and mental health issues, and his long road to recovery and gradual return to the stage, captured in the 2005 documentary You’re Gonna Miss Me, named for the Elevators’ signature hit. Erickson performs Elevators material at the 2017 Ponderosa Stomp Oct. 6, part of a weekend of concerts starring cult heroes of rock ’n’ roll at the Orpheum Theater. His Friday performance is part of a showcase including The Gories, Archie Bell, Barbara Lynn, Roy Head and others. The Saturday concert features The Mummies, Gary U.S.

Art for Art’s Sake

Bonds, Don Bryant and The Bo-Keys, a Texas honky tonk revue and more. There’s also a record show and music conference at the Ace Hotel. At the Orpheum, Erickson will be backed by The Hounds of Baskerville, featuring his son, Jegar Erickson. “All I had to do was learn one song at a time for each gig and be comfortable and have it under my belt by the time it got there,” Erickson says. “I’m real pleased with my voice. I like to sing to my [Amazon] Echo. Jegar gave me an Echo, and I get to listen to all the songs on it and everything. I haven’t learned how to work it completely, but, you know.” Erickson was inspired to sing as a kid listening to early rock ’n’ roll screamers on the radio. “All the people I listened to late at night on the radio, like Little Richard Penniman, you know, Elvis Presley,

James Brown, people like that,” he says. “They played the same song every time.

# The Count

57%

Does New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton give a damn any more?

39%

The percentage of Louisianans who think NFL ‘take a knee’ protesters should be fined or fired. A ROBOCALL SURVEY OF 525 REGISTERED VOTERS CONDUCTED SEPT. 26 found 30 percent thought NFL players who took a knee during the playing of the national anthem should be fired, while 27 percent thought the players should pay a fine. The kneeling, which began with Colin Kaepernick as a silent statement against police brutality, spread through the league last week after President Donald Trump said team owners who saw players kneeling should “get that son of a bitch off the field.” The robopoll also asked respondents about Trump’s job performance, of which 49 percent approved and 45 percent disapproved. Trump received 58 percent of the vote in Louisiana. The margin of error on the poll was 4.28 percent, with pollsters noting that landline-only polls can result in coverage error due to “the growing trend of minority and younger households without landlines.” — KEVIN ALLMAN SOURCE: UNO SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down VH1 Save the Music Foundation gave a $60,000

State Rep. Valarie Hodges,

R-Denham Springs, criticized NFL players who took a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality. That’s her right, but her statement “I have to wonder, if they will not pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, who is their allegiance to?” missed the point of their protest when she suggested they were not truly Americans.

Mike Yenni,

the beleaguered president of Jefferson Parish, took another hit last week when WWL-TV’s David Hammer revealed that Yenni had spent at least $170,000 in public funds redecorating the parish’s executive offices. Yenni insisted the redo of his own office — a replica of former President George W. Bush’s Oval Office — was done on his own dime. If that’s true, why did Yenni take months to answer a citizen’s public records request about the expenses last year? And what do the expenses say about Yenni’s priorities as parish president?

Comment

In response to our story “Jimmy Kimmel: ‘Bill Cassidy just lied right to my face’”: Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel, for exposing this swamp critter for what he is. My apologies to the lovely beasts who inhabit our swamps far removed from DC. — Deirdre McCarthy Casserleigh

TAKE A KNEE, TAKE AWAY TAX BREAKS? “Get that son of a bitch off the field,” President Donald Trump said of NFL players who take a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality against people of color, and on Sept. 24 some players defied him to make a point — including several members of the New Orleans Saints. That was enough to get some Louisiana legislators grumbling about the team’s millions of dollars in state tax breaks. State Rep. Kenny Havard, R-St. Francisville, told the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins, “Why in the world should we allow state-subsidized sporting events, for people who are ultimately ending up with that money, to use it for a political platform?” State Rep. Valarie Hodges, R-Denham Springs, sent a formal request for the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget to review the Saints’ tax breaks during its next meeting, which is set for next month. But Gov. John Bel Edwards, while distancing himself from the protests, insisted the state would fulfill its contractual obligations to the team. Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser (pictured), who was in Europe promoting Louisiana tourism, said he would not attend the Saints’ Oct. 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in London’s Wembley Stadium and would not attend any more games as long as the protests continued. The most colorful reaction came from State Rep. Ted James, D-Baton Rouge, who has watchdogged what he’s seen as police overreach since the 2016 death of Baton Rouge resident Alton Sterling at the hands of two Baton Rouge police officers. James posted on Instagram, “Y’all worried about Trump, I’m worried about my colleagues who believe as he believes. I can’t wait to get my hands on this damn bill!!!!! Not surprised we will have the discussion. Damn, I wish we were in session now.” P H O T O B Y G AG E S K I D M O R E /C R E AT I V E C O M M O N S

2. Quote of the week “It’s kind of like [Hurricane] Katrina: ‘We got it. We got it. Oh, shit, send in the cavalry.’ This is a hit on White House decision making.” — Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, talking with Bloomberg about President Donald Trump’s response to the damage in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands following Hurricane Maria, which decimated much of the islands’ infrastructure. Electricity, potable water and food are in short supply in much of Puerto Rico. Trump told the press the area has been “devastated, absolutely devastated by Hurricane Maria, and we’re doing everything in our power.” On Friday, the president tweeted, “The fact is that Puerto Rico has been destroyed by two hurricanes. Big decisions will have to be made as to the cost of its rebuilding!”

A ‘voice of the people’ mayoral debate goes sideways In the hours before the “Voice of the People” televised mayoral debate last week — set up by Sidney Torres’ Voice of the People PAC — two journalists who were scheduled to be on the panel backed out, and mayoral candidate Desiree Charbonnet followed suit, earning the wrath of Torres. Sources at WDSU-TV and WVUE-TV confirmed their stations originally were set to send questioners to the panel, which included Charbonnet, LaToya Cantrell, Troy Henry and Michael Bagneris. The stations ended up reversing that decision. (Two sources at WWL-TV, which is a news partner of Gambit, said that station never committed to participating, despite rumors to PAGE 9

the contrary.) The sole TV journalist who appeared was Jacqueline Mazur, a weekend anchor and reporter at WGNO-TV, while the remainder of the panel consisted of retired newsmen Bruce Nolan and Joe Duke, freelance reporter Allen Johnson Jr. and Torres himself. Oddly, the moderator was Alice Stewart, a CNN political commentator with no particular tie to New Orleans, whose pre-CNN resume includes communications duties for a number of GOP presidential candidates, including Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee. Just before the debate began, Charbonnet issued a statement saying, “The last-minute withdrawal of respected New Orleans journalists from participation in the Voice PAC forum, and other mainstream outlets’ refusal to participate, has raised such serious concerns as to the nature of the event that Desiree Charbonnet has withdrawn her participation as well.” Torres immediately fired back, saying Charbonnet “decided to snub the voters” and adding, “What Ms. Charbonnet failed to say in her statement regarding her decision not to attend is that the panelists were replaced with two prominent New Orleans journalists, one of whom earned a Pulitzer Prize and another who led New Orleans’ number one television news operation for almost a decade.” Much of the debate trod well-worn ground with wellworn answers about the city’s crime problem and the state of the Sewerage & Water Board, but it was two questions from Torres that got the most attention. He asked if candidates would expand the use of his French Quarter crimefighting smartphone app, and in the debate’s final question, he invited the candidates to weigh in on Charbonnet’s refusal to appear. The following day, the NotForSaleNOLA PAC, which has sent out fancy mailers attacking Charbonnet while not supporting any particular candidate, issued a statement saying the cancellation “caps a week of embarrassing evasions and attempts at explanation regarding her corrupt krewe of cronies and

her history of patronage and sweetheart public contracts.” Charbonnet countered with a list of dozens of appearances and interviews she’s made in the last few months.

4. Carville: Adieu to Tulane, hello LSU

Political consultant and manabout-town James Carville, who has taught a series of popular classes at Tulane University for seven years, will be hanging his academic shingle at LSU’s Manship School of Mass Communication starting in January, the university announced last week. Carville is an LSU graduate and was the Manship School’s commencement speaker in 2015. Last year, he and his wife, political strategist and writer Mary Matalin, entertained a crowd at Loyola University with their thoughts on the 2016 presidential race.

Housing advocates release data on shortterm rentals Following legalization and an enforcement rollout for short-term rentals (STRs) earlier this year, New Orleans housing equity advocates say STR laws have merely created a permit system that provides a legal framework to inflate housing prices and displace residents. At a meeting held by the Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative on Sept. 27, program manager Breonne DeDecker stressed that STR policy is a housing issue, despite assurance from officials and proponents that STRs have no bearing on housing affordability. According to data pulled by the group, as of June 2017 more than 5,300 listings appeared on Airbnb (nearly 4,000 are whole homes), at an average cost of $229 a night. Most listings are available for 196 nights a year. According to data scraped from the city, there are only 3,156 listings with permits. DeDecker says enforcement is unable to keep up with the prevalence of fraud, and it’s “impossible” to match anonymous data among platforms — people with a “temporary” STR permit can list beyond a 90-day limit by switching to

another platform. Exterior demand for tourist housing perpetuates high housing costs without having to adjust to the local real estate market, according to DeDecker, as residents must manage their property taxes assessed at inflated values because of neighboring STRs. Listings also reveal that STRs are expanding in gentrified and gentrifying areas, where there’s increased access to health care, transit and “things our residents actually need,” DeDecker said. After the commercially designated CBD, Central City is the second-highest number of whole-home rentals, followed by the 7th Ward, Marigny, 6th Ward and Mid-City. STR enforcement becomes “an issue of who gets to access our housing and under what circumstances,” she said. Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative has called on the city and incoming administrations to adopt a “single host, single listing” policy, a ban on full-time, whole-home rentals, limits on the number of permits and number of listings per block face, and removing anonymity from data sharing.

6. Sewerage & Water Board: Sorry about double billing you

The interim director of New Orleans’ Sewerage & Water Board said residents “deserve better” following a recent round of erroneously double billing customers, amounting to bills that were in some cases inaccurately billed at hundreds of dollars more than a typical bill. Robert Miller, who temporarily heads the beleaguered office following Cedric Grant’s retirement, told the New Orleans City Council Sept. 26 the agency has begun to remedy the issue, which affected roughly 4,600 accounts. Miller attributed the issue to poor communications between the agency’s billing department and meter readers, often leading to using estimates in customers’ bills for accounts without meter readings for that billing period. For those 4,600

7. City Hall organizes

neighborhood catch basin cleaning events

As New Orleans City Hall moves forward with a new contractor tasked with cleaning New Orleans’ 15,000 catch basins in 120 days, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s Office of Neighborhood Engagement is calling on volunteers to assist in neighborhood catch basin cleaning events. Kenner-based company RAMJ Construction was dropped by the city last month following concerns from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, and a new contract was arranged with Compliance EnviroSystems. New Orleans’ Department of Public Works (DPW) is budgeted for $22 million to clear and repair catch basins following Landrieu’s budget shuffling in the wake of the August flooding and shakeups at the Sewerage & Water Board and DPW leadership. Neighborhood groups also will lead catch basin cleaning days from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Saturday in October. Visit www.nola. gov/neighborhood-engagement for details.

8. Louisiana: Deadly for women

Louisiana remains one of the deadliest states for women, with the nation’s third-highest rate of murders in which the victims were women. In its 2017 report analyzing murder rates among women using the most recent FBI data from 2015, the Violence Policy Center found more than 1,680 women were killed by men in the U.S. that year. Over the last 20 years, the rate of women murdered by men in single-victim and single-offender incidents dropped 29 percent, from 1.57 per 100,000 women in 1996 to 1.12 per 100,000 women in 2015 — but the rate in Louisiana remains 2.22 women per 100,000. That’s double the national average. The center’s 20th annual report adds that “Louisiana has failed to make the progress seen in the rest of the nation.” Mariah Wineski, executive director of the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, says inadequate funding for domestic violence

programs and not preventing abusers from accessing firearms are among the many factors that keep the homicide rate among women high in Louisiana.

Scalise returns to Capitol, appears on 60 Minutes In his first public appearance since being shot during a practice for a charity congressional baseball game in June, U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., received a standing ovation Sept. 28 when he returned to the House of Representatives on crutches. His office issued a statement saying, “Starting today, Whip Scalise will be resuming his work at the Capitol, while also completing an extended period of out-patient rehabilitation over the coming months.” The Washington Post reported Scalise sat on the GOP side of the chamber, but his best friend in Congress, U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., sat behind him in a gesture of support. Scalise and his wife Jennifer completed an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, scheduled to air Oct. 1, which recounted the shooting, his numerous operations and his subsequent rehabilitation.

10. Governor’s office organizes relief effort for Puerto Rico

The Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) is organizing a donation drive to help the people of Puerto Rico, who are recovering from Category 4 Hurricane Maria, which knocked out primary infrastructure. The only donations being accepted are diapers, nonperishable baby formula, baby wipes, baby bottles and nipples and feminine hygiene products. In Orleans Parish, donations can be made at 2118 Elysian Fields Ave., 5403 Read Blvd. and 2000 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. In Jefferson Parish, donations can be made at 920 David Drive in Metairie and 5001 Westbank Expressway in Marrero. There are dropoff locations in every parish. A complete list of collection sites can be found at www.gov.louisiana.gov/page/ PuertoRico. The drive runs through Oct. 11 and may be extended.

COMMENTARY

To Sen. Cassidy: Physician, heal thyself AS THE LATEST RUSHED ATTEMPT TO END THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA)

collapsed last week, it took with it another casualty: U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy’s reputation. Cassidy, a mild-mannered physician, had insisted for months that he would hold President Donald Trump to his campaign promise that any health care replacement would have to be affordable, cover pre-existing conditions and insure more people. None of that made it into the GOP’s latest repeal effort. The “Graham-Cassidy plan,” sponsored by Cassidy and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, was widely agreed to be the worst repeal bill of all. It was slammed by major medical organizations, some health insurance giants, physicians’ groups and hospitals for its plan to turn over responsibility and most funding

to the states while phasing out Medicaid dollars entirely. This was the bill that Cassidy and Graham sought to push through Congress in little more than a week. Worse for them, the Graham-Cassidy plan was highly unpopular among voters. Only 20 percent of Americans approved of it, according to a CBS News poll. Not even half of Republicans thought it was a good idea. While 87 percent of respondents in the CBS News poll thought insurance companies should be required to cover pre-existing conditions (as did a whopping 79 percent of Republicans), Graham-Cassidy offered little protection; insurance companies would have been free to raise premiums to the point where they would be unaffordable to the majority of Americans. Yet Cassidy felt comfortable enough to put his name

and reputation on the line to defend it. Earlier this year, he appeared with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and declared that any legislation would have to pass a “Jimmy Kimmel test,” named for Kimmel’s advocacy for insurance that includes pre-existing conditions following the birth of his son, who has heart problems. When Kimmel noted that Graham-Cassidy met none of Cassidy’s benchmarks, Cassidy claimed Kimmel didn’t understand the measure. Other Republicans

After seven years of touting ‘repeal and replace,’ congressional Republicans delivered neither.

grumbled about Hollywood injecting itself into the dialogue — except it was Cassidy who happily appeared on Kimmel’s show months before and appropriated Kimmel’s name to promote the bill. Even more brazen was the argument that the bill failed because Democrats didn’t want to work on it in a bipartisan fashion. The GOP has vowed to undo the ACA since 2010 and has had seven years to come up with a workable replacement. That never happened, even as Republicans control both houses of

Congress and have a president seemingly eager to undo the ACA no matter the details. After seven years of touting “repeal and replace,” congressional Republicans delivered neither. The ultimate irony: Cassidy’s home state of Louisiana would have fared among the worst under his signature bill. Gov. John Bel Edwards and Health Secretary Rebekah Gee both wrote to Cassidy, outlining the gains the state has made since accepting Medicaid funds, including hundreds of thousands of newly insured citizens in one of the least healthy states in the nation. “First, do no harm” often is cited as a fundamental tenet of medical practice. Graham-Cassidy would have done a great deal of harm to Americans had it passed. Instead, its only harm has been to Cassidy’s reputation. Going forward, the admonition should perhaps be, “Physician, heal thyself.”

For once, history is no guide NEW ORLEANS VOTERS ARE ON THE VERGE OF MAKING HISTORY. We’ll likely elect

our first woman mayor or, for the first time in more than a century, our first new mayor over the age of 65. In fact, we haven’t elected a new mayor over the age of 50 since Andrew McShane won the office in 1920. No, I didn’t cover that race. I had to look it up online. As the week of early voting opened for the Oct. 14 primary, all eyes were on early front-runner Desiree Charbonnet, who resigned her judgeship at Municipal Court to seek the mayor’s job. Many are wondering if Charbonnet lost her early momentum in the past week or two in the wake of quasi-anonymous attack fliers mailed mostly to white households. Dubbed “The Desiree Charbonnet Tales” and published by a PAC calling itself

“notforsalenola.com,” the fliers blast Charbonnet for allegedly being “the queen of patronage” who indulges in “cronyism, corruption and sweetheart deals.” Mostly, the fliers focus on some of Charbonnet’s top political backers: Congressman Cedric Richmond; attorney Ike Spears, a veteran political player in New Orleans with close ties to Richmond; bail bondsman Blair Boutte, another Richmond ally who works closely with Spears; and Charbonnet’s brother Bernard “Bunny” Charbonnet, also an attorney. This is just my opinion, but I doubt that any of the fliers, by themselves, did much damage to Charbonnet. None of them exposed a smoking gun — despite the suggestive headlines — and other than Richmond, none of the players listed in the fliers is a household name

in New Orleans, though all are well-known in political circles. Collectively, however, they may create just enough doubts about Charbonnet to weaken her even if she lands a runoff spot. Ironically, if Charbonnet falters at all in the closing days, it may be the result of a self-inflicted wound. She bailed last week on a televised candidate forum hosted by businessman Sidney Torres’ political action committee, Voice of the People, hours before the event. She attributed her decision not to participate to the fact that two local television journalists backed out at the last minute for “ethical reasons” — but she never articulated why appearing at a PAC-sponsored forum posed an ethical dilemma for candidates. Truth is, candidates appear before political action committees all the

time seeking endorsements and support — and Torres’ PAC isn’t even endorsing any candidates. Her absence was noted several times during the debate.

Worse for Charbonnet, the popular businessman posted a scathing rebuke of her on his Facebook page, saying she “decided to snub the voters of New Orleans” and alleging that “members of her campaign team were aggressively lobbying other campaigns to withdraw” at the last minute. “Her decision is disappointing but mostly alarming,” Torres concluded. “The next mayor of New Orleans will face tough challenges, if a candidate can’t face tough questions why should we believe they can handle a tough assignment ahead?” It will be interesting to see if Torres’ broadside scores a more direct hit than the “notforsalenola” bombardments. For all we know, the attacks might even backfire. It’s been a strange election cycle, and history does not appear to offer any hint of what’s to come.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, In going through some of my deceased uncle’s possessions, I found a photo that has created much discussion in the family. We know it is from the 1940s when my uncle was in the service but can’t seem to recall anything about The Puppy House. Can you enlighten us? —JACKIE

Dear Jackie, The Puppy House was the name of a bar and nightclub at 228 Bourbon St. It did indeed operate in the 1940s, when your uncle would have visited and had his picture taken. Like many other clubs of that time, The Puppy House featured burlesque and striptease acts as well as live music. According to a 1975 column by Howard Jacobs in The Times-Picayune, The Puppy House actually was the second name for the club located at that spot. Owner Frank Ferrara opened a club there called The Circus in 1938. The name change must have come soon after, because a 1940 story in The New Orleans Item called it The Puppy House. By 1948, Ferrara had changed the name of the club to the Sho-Bar. He retired in 1958 and sold the Sho-Bar, though it remained a fixture on Bourbon Street for decades. Among performers who took the stage there were Cupcake and Candy Barr, Sally Rand with her “world

famous fan dance,” Lili St. Cyr and Rita Alexander, the striptease artist known as “the Champagne girl.” The biggest star of all, Blaze Starr, even drew the attention of Louisiana Gov. Earl K. Long. In his book Bourbon Street: A History, Richard Campanella points out that Long’s limousine could be seen parked outside the club several nights a week beginning in 1959. “That’s where he fell head over heels in lust with the buxom Appalachian girl who went by the stage name Blaze Starr,” Campanella writes. “The sensational story of the 63-yearold governor and the 23-year-old dancer helped make Long, Starr, Bourbon Street and Louisiana all the more delectably notorious to the national consciousness.” In the 1980s, the Sho-Bar moved to the 300 block of Bourbon but has since closed. As for the original club in the 200 block, it was Deja Vu Showgirls for many years but is now Hunk Oasis, a club featuring male dancers.

BLAKEVIEW BEGINNING THIS WEEKEND, YOU’LL FIND LOTS OF BEER AND BRATWURST and hear the sounds of oompah bands and the chicken dance on Bayou St. John as Deutsches Haus presents its annual Oktoberfest. The group was founded in 1928 as a benevolent and social organization for local Germans. It evolved from other benevolent groups that provided support for German immigrants dating back to the mid-19th century. In 1928, Deutsches Haus dedicated its new clubhouse in a former telephone exchange building at 200 S. Galvez St. The anti-German sentiment of World War II curtailed the club’s activities for several years, but it returned in 1947 with a spring Volksfest festival. Oktoberfest also became a favorite at that location for many years. The building was severely damaged in flooding following the 2005 levee failures, but Oktoberfest returned in 2006. In 2011, the building was demolished by the state to make way for the University Medical Center and Veterans Medical Center complex. Deutsches Haus is temporarily located in Metairie but hopes to move into its new building next fall. This year’s Oktoberfest will be held at the new building site at 1700 Moss St. each weekend through Oct. 21.

WHAT’S IN STORE

BY PADMINI PARTHASARATHY HAIR SALONS AND BARBERSHOPS ABOUND IN NEW ORLEANS, but Glenn

Michael Salon (1623 Metairie Road, Metairie, 504-8286848; www.glennmichaelsalon.com) is one of the few with a focus on women with fine, thinning hair. Owner Glenn Michael Milliet describes the salon as “upscale, but not uptight.” Milliet, a musician, decided to open a salon, not a barbershop, when he changed careers years ago. He remembers preferring the salon experience to getting his hair cut at a traditional barbershop. “For whatever reason, I remembered being younger and switching over from a barbershop to a salon,” he says. “I remembered liking the atmosphere better. There were lots of younger people and it seemed more contemporary.” He went to school to learn how to cut and process hair. Since Milliet opened his salon in 1976, he has relocated and expanded several times. He attributes his success to communicating and empathizing with his clients. “You can be great at something technically,” he says, “but if you can’t communicate, you won’t have the opportunity to succeed at what you’re good at.” In 2011, Milliet realized many of his clients were women looking for a way to revitalize their hair. He researched a new hair treatment called the Evolve Volumizer (by Evolve Hair Solutions), specifically designed for women with fine and thinning hair. Today, the salon specializes in this procedure. “What makes the Volumizer different is that first of all, there’s no glue or adhesive, there’s no braiding, there’s no sewing, there are no chemicals or heat of any kind,” Milliet says. “There is zero damage to the existing hair. For a woman with fine, thinning hair, every hair on that head is important.” Milliet emphasizes the comfort and versatility of the hair system. It is designed for women who are experiencing hair loss on the crowns

of their heads. The product has a poly-mesh, hypoallergenic, ventilated base, which is essential for coping with Louisiana heat. “The system starts at the top of the head,” Milliet says. “It is all human hair, which means you can cut it, color it, lowlight it, brush it, tuck it behind your ear, or put it up in a chignon. Most anything I can do with (a client’s natural hair), I can do with a volumizer client.” Each client considering the Evolve Volumizer first schedules a 30-minute consultation. For Milliet, a client’s reason for coming to Glenn Michael Salon is a crucial part of the discussion. “When a new client is coming to me, that means someone else is losing them,” he says. He asks clients to explain what they would like to change about their hair and look. Once he assesses their concerns, he can suggest products and procedures to address the root of the problem. “I think what makes me the most happy about my job is working with clients with fine and thinning hair,” Milliet says. “A woman who was depressed might walk out the door feeling 10 feet tall. Hearing things like, ‘I can’t wait to go out tonight,’ (or) changing a person’s mind is what makes (the experience) so powerful.”

Refreshed NOLA

‘Mexicajun’

ONE OF THE THINGS that made dining casually at chef Emeril Lagasse’s NOLA (534 St. Louis St., 504-5226652; www.emerilsrestaurants.com/ nola-restaurant) difficult was the size of the bar: It was tiny. That’s no longer the case now that the celebrity chef’s French Quarter restaurant has reopened following a massive, two-month renovation to the three-story space in anticipation of the restaurant’s 25th anniversary this month.

Baja Nola combines Mexican and Cajun influences BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund THERE ARE TACOS, CRUNCHY FLAUTAS, sizzling fajitas, guacamole and

velvety queso. One glance at the menu will confirm that yes, this is a Mexican restaurant. But the story of Baja Nola, which opened in Metairie in July, is best told through its oysters. Here, Gulf Coast oysters arrive with a Latin twist, hot from the grill, topped with a rich mix of melted Mexican cheeses: Oaxaca, Chihuahua and asadero. Instead of butter or garlic, pico de gallo tops the bivalves. Instead of French bread, the oysters are served with warm corn tortillas, perfect for swaddling the cheesy mix into mini quesadillas. Like many other Latin-owned restaurants in the city, the owners’ diverse cultural backgrounds influence the dishes that exit the kitchen. Ricky Bermudez is from Guatemala, but he grew up in Texas. His wife Jazmin is from Honduras. The food, while unquestionably Mexican, carries a hint of their chosen home, New Orleans. That spirit is felt in creative riffs on dishes such as fried oyster empanada poppers, or “Mexicajun” corn, a cob boiled in Cajun spices and topped with butter, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese and salty-sweet Tajin seasoning. The spirit extends beyond the food menu. A mural of the Superdome greets customers as they walk in the door, and bottles of Crystal hot sauce sit on the tables. On one visit, a New Orleans Saints game was on TV while reggaeton beats provided background music. Though the owners are new to the business, many of the dishes here

WHERE

2325 N. Hullen St., Metairie; (504) 533-9920; www.bajanola.com

are emblematic of a family with a longer history with food. Ricky Bermudez’s mother once ran the restaurant Taqueria Jalisco on the West Bank, and she now owns the Latin grocery La Placita in Kenner. That lineage and culinary history find their way onto plates in several instances, such as the chicharron, or cracklings, cooked in a fiery red sauce — made with a recipe passed down from Bermudez’s grandmother. The fatty knobs of pork rind are stewed for hours in a sauce heavy with ancho chilies, guajillo peppers and chile de arbol so the rinds turn soft and gelatinous and practically melt in your mouth. Bright crimson chorizo — made using Bermudez’s mother’s recipe — is cooked with a mix of poblano, jalapeno and serrano peppers with an end result that packs a deliciously warm, tingling heat. Tacos arrive on warm flour or corn tortillas dotted with chopped onions and cilantro and garnished with limes. These are tacos of a humble breed — where the straightforward fillings do not want for frill or fuss and are simply pleasing. Some fare

better than others, however. Carne asada was tough on one visit, but barbacoa, a slow-roasted beef medley, arrived juicy and flavorful, an earthy and warm mix. Gulf seafood is featured heavily on the menu, and the ceviche of mahi mahi, shrimp and crabmeat is one of the best and freshest-tasting versions of the dish I’ve had recently. The fish is marinated for 24 hours and served in the juicy elixir of lime, cucumbers and pico de gallo, topped with thick avocado wedges and served with blistering hot, crunchy tostadas. Baja Nola is a little off the beaten path, tucked off the I-10 Service Road in a nondescript residential area, but the quirky twists on Mexican comfort fare are well worth the excursion.

Mexican standbys get a New Orleans twist at a Metairie restaurant

The restaurant reopened Sept. 22, and the ground-floor area has been transformed into a more casual bar area, with a long bar, ample banquette and high-top seating and a chef’s table overlooking the open kitchen. The new look also is brighter and bolder than before, featuring exposed brick walls and neon accents. Philip Buccieri, who began working with Lagasse’s restaurant group in 2011 and most recently was the sous chef at NOLA, is now the chef de cuisine. When Lagasse’s most recent New Orleans restaurant, Meril, debuted, the casual, shared-plates format proved a quick hit, and the revamped menu at NOLA feels like it might have taken a few hints. The selection of small plates includes charred Gulf tuna escabeche with skillet-cooked vegetables and olivade, oyster and brie pot pie with roasted marrow and parsley salad, and a crunchy mirliton salad with cashew-bacon praline and nuoc cham. Old standbys like Saint Paul’s Gumbo and Miss Hay’s stuffed chicken wings remain on the menu. A long list of appetizers in the “social” section of the menu includes alligator sausage bao with housemade hoisin and kimchi, “hot” frog legs with bread-and-butter pickles

Tuennermans resign roles in Tales of the Cocktail

Hurricane aid for restaurant workers ONE MEAL, ONE NIGHT, ONE NATION

was created to raise funds to support hospitality industry workers affected by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. A portion of participating restaurants’ proceeds Oct. 2 will go toward individual grants to restaurant and hotel workers affected by the storms, as well as to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign and local school partners in the greater Houston and Florida Gulf communities. Local restaurants including Cafe Adelaide, Commander’s Palace (pictured), Palace Cafe, Emeril’s, Galatoire’s 33 Bar & Steak, Press Street Station, SoBou and all Zea Rotisserie & Bar locations in the area joined the nationwide effort. A news release from the Commander’s Palace family of restaurants expressed gratitude to Alex Brennan-Martin and the Houston community for their support in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. “After Hurricane Katrina, the hospitality community was there for New Orleans, and we’ll never forget it,” Ti Adelaide Martin said in the statement. “Alex Brennan-Martin started the New Orleans Hospitality Workers Disaster Relief Fund, and with a National Dine Out Day as well as additional fundraising, raised and gave away over a million dollars in small grants to help individuals in New Orleans. Today, we are returning the favor.” People can make tax-deductible donations through Golden Rule’s Indiegogo page for One Meal, One Night, One Nation or by mailing a check to the Greater New Orleans

TALES OF THE COCKTAIL (TOTC) founder Ann Tuennerman and her husband Paul have stepped down from their leadership roles at the organization. The announcement was made Sept. 23 on the TOTC website (www. talesofthecocktail.com). According to the statement, both Tuennermans are “transitioning away from their roles in producing the world’s renowned cocktail event, Tales of the Cocktail, effective immediately.” Tales was launched 15 years ago and initially offered tours and seminars to the public and cocktail industry people. It evolved into one of the largest annual alcohol industry events for bartenders. The multi-day conference, held each summer in New Orleans, draws bartenders and beverage industry professionals from all over the world for a series of seminars, tastings, product debuts and networking events. The announcement came a day after the beverage industry website

OF WINE THE WEEK

Neatpour.com reported Ann’s decision to reinstate her husband to his TOTC position, from which he had resigned seven months prior. This past Carnival, the couple drew criticism following a widely publicized social media post of their participation in the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club parade. Ann was criticized by some for wearing blackface, which traditionally is worn by riders both black and white in the parade, and Paul was criticized for a comment he made that many deemed racially insensitive. In an open letter to the TOTC community, Ann apologized for the social media post afterwards, and called the action “naive and inconsiderate.” The recent announcement said the company that runs Tales of the Cocktail, MOJO 911, will be helmed by Melissa Young, who has overseen the event as director of operations for the past nine years. The release said: “We have devoted our professional careers to the hospitality industry even before the formation of Tales of the Cocktail and the New Orleans Culinary and Cultural Preservation Society. Our goal has always been to create something lasting that can benefit the industry and the people of New Orleans well beyond our years. This allows that to continue.” — HELEN FREUND

2014 Michele Chiarlo Barbera d’Asti Le Orme Piedmont, Italy Retail $13 A FOURTH-GENERATION PIEDMONT WINEMAKER , Michele Chiarlo makes high-end barolos, barbarescos and other premium wines, but his winery’s Barbera d’Asti wines garner just as much acclaim in their bargain price range. The Piedmont region’s most-planted grape and Italy’s third most-planted grape, barbera, is high in acid. Chiarlo sources fruit from select vineyards in Piedmont’s Asti region and La Court in Nizza, where the highest quality barbera grapes are grown. For this wine, grapes were pressed and the wine transferred to temperature-controlled vats for maceration and fermentation on the skins. The wine was aged in French oak casks for eight months and matured in the bottle for eight months. In the glass, the wine exhibits a slightly rustic character with aromas of raspberry, blackberry and dried herbs. On the palate, taste cherry, red berries, plum, some earthiness, a hint of espresso, spice notes and well-integrated tannins. Aerate the wine for 15 minutes before serving. Drink it with lasagna, veal parmigiana, pasta dishes with tomato sauce, meatballs and many hearty Italian dishes. Buy it at: Lakeview Grocery and some Rouses.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Kathryn K. Fontenot PROFESSOR/AUTHOR/GARDEN EXPERT KATHRYN K. FONTENOT, an assistant professor at LSU AgCenter’s School of Plant, Environmental and Soil Sciences, is an avid gardener and works with farmers’ markets and home, community and school gardeners. Her new book The Louisiana Urban Gardener (LSU Press) offers guidance to new and beginning home gardeners. Fontenot spoke with Gambit about what vegetables to plant now and mistakes to avoid.

: What about Louisiana’s climate makes it challenging for home gardeners? FONTENOT: Because we’re semitropical, we can grow things yearround. We can always plant something, always harvest something in the garden. But with that, we never really get cold enough to kill off that insect population, and it never gets cold enough to kill any (plant) diseases so, there are challenges. We have really humid weather, and we obviously have a lot of rain — sometimes we get too much at one time and not enough at other times. All of that is really challenging for the Louisiana gardener.

: What can people plant right now? F: Now that we’re in early October, you can plant all of your cabbage, broccoli, lettuces, kales, mustard greens, Swiss chard, collard greens, turnips, radishes, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower — anything that’s leafy and green. What’s really great about Louisiana is that we don’t have to worry about covering things, as long as we don’t get a freeze. Now is also the time for strawberries, which people don’t usually think about this time of year, because you eat them in the spring. You’ll see them on the roadsides right after Thanksgiving and then again in the beginning of the year. Those are truly Louisiana-grown strawberries. Our farmers are planting more mature plants than a home gardener would, but a home gardener could plant what we call “bare-root” plants, meaning there’s no soil around the root. You put them in the ground, and as long as you keep them really well-watered, they’ll start multiplying and you’ll be eating strawberries in the spring. Strawberries are pretty tough to grow in the ground, so I always recommend to home growers to put them in a pot or a basket.

PH OTO BY COLLIN RICHIE

Another great thing to plant right now is artichokes. They’re planted now and then they have time to get really big over winter. Then in spring, they send out their shoots, and you’ve got great artichokes. Really, to get a big, healthy plant with about 10-15 artichokes, you’ve got to plant them early in fall.

: What are some of the most common mistakes novice gardeners make? F: Under fertilizing. If you’re using organic or synthetic fertilizers, it doesn’t matter — you just have to put something in the ground. I often see people drop plants and then they don’t fertilize them, and (the plants) start looking yellow and weak. It’s especially important if you’re growing in a raised bed or a container. ... The other thing is fertilizing at the wrong time. You usually fertilize the garden before you plant anything — wait a week and then put your plants in. As the plants start to grow, you want to wait about three weeks and then fertilize, and then wait another three weeks and fertilize again. It’s important to space your plants appropriately. Once a garden starts crowding in any kind of plants, no matter what kind of vegetable it is, you’re setting yourself up for failure with insect populations that grow there — transporting from one plant to another. Weeds harbor insects. So if you grow everything wild and messy, you’ll actually have worse insect problems. We talk about it holistically. The goal is: You don’t want to apply pesticides if possible, just because it costs more money, (but) also, what’s the point? You’re probably growing your vegetables at home because you want to know how they were grown. I talk about this in the book, too: there are a lot of good gardening practices that will soften the blow if and when insects and disease set in. — HELEN FREUND

the last five decades, “a bunch of songs I had been wanting to record, and we did.” He keeps his songwriting ideas — often inspired by classic horror films and novels, particularly on early ’80s albums I Think of Demons and The Evil One, as Roky Erickson and the Aliens — in notebooks along with his drawings. “I love to paint,” he says. “I draw little pictures and everything in my sketchbooks and things, I write and everything. I love to do that. Mostly cartoons and things like that, pictures of people I’m with.” He watches horror films on HBO, Chiller and Fearnet (though his favorites remain Universal Pictures monsters like Dracula and the Werewolf), and he’s currently reading F. Paul Wilson’s World War II-based horror novel The Keep. “I enjoy reading, getting ideas throughout books and everything,” he says. “I’m reading one right here in front of me called Is It All in Your Head? by Dr. O’Sullivan: True Stories of Imaginary Illnesses. She loves to tell you that people have these things and he knows they really don’t, you know. She’s diagnosed them as well.” Erickson also keeps up with a mail obsession by writing to classified ads placed in Shore to Shore magazine and other mailorder magazines. “You can find out if they have things they can barter with you for certain prices, like an auction, you know, like contests.” His manager Darren Hill (formerly of New Orleans band the Red Rockers) recently sent him a fire and police scanner radio. But Erickson’s excited to be performing again, though he admits he’s more careful onstage these days. “They’ve been real good to me, letting me sit in a chair, you know, and just taking it easy,” he says. “I just take it a lot easier, because I have a real heavy guitar, made by Gibson, and I really prefer it. The other guitars, you really need someone to be with you while you play them, to kind of influence you on it, and help you with it. A Fender is custom-made, or what you call it, a profile guitar. It’s made for your figure. So it has the curves on it, the smooth lines, whereas the Gibson has the square heel, like Bo Diddley.” His voice is bright and buoyant before he disconnects, repeating his assurance that he’s feeling well and eager to sing. “I’ve been feeling real good,” he says. “Taking it easy and everything, feeling real normal. … We’re all experiencing a lot of excitement here.”

Thundercat

BY THE TIME THUNDERCAT HAS YOU in his • Oct. 6 claws, it’s too late — you already got got. Nom de plume (of smoke) of stoned-silly bass ace • 10 p.m. Friday Stephen Bruner, the animated ’80s reference is • Tipitina’s, 501 Napoleon all the warning necessary for the redlining ridiculousness on his third album Drunk (BrainfeedAve., (504) 895-8477; er), a wacky, jingly ride that makes predecessors www.tipitinas.com The Golden Age of Apocalypse and Apocalypse sound like sobriety tests (and mind, the latter features a straight-faced love song sung to Bruner’s real-life Thundercat, Turbo Tron). With 23 tracks — more of which fall under two minutes (nine) than stumble over three (six) — Drunk spins its dials like roulette wheels but always ends up on the same low-end Slip ’N Slide, whether snoring, farting, meowing (yes, there’s a “Tron Song Suite II”) or shouting out Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins, who actually appear in smooth overload on “Show You the Way,” prefaced (“Tell ’em how you feel, Kenny”) by Bruner’s equally creamy falsetto. Other A-list guests include Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell Williams, Kamasi Washington and Kendrick Lamar — the latter returning Thundercat’s multiple favors on To Pimp a Butterfly by turning Drunk on its axis at midpoint “Walk on By”: “Nine times out of 10, young n—s are nine or 10 when that line becomes thin / Be a killer or fireman.” It’s easy to miss the tonal shift, especially when Bruner sings things like “I’m safe on my block / Except for the cops / Will they attack? / Will it be ’cause I’m black?” with the same helium-filled cheer as shoulder-dusting disses like this, from “Friend Zone”: “I’d rather play ‘Mortal Kombat’ anyway / I’m all about my Johnny Cage / If you’re not bringing tacos, I suggest you start to walk away.” Saco & Uno and PBDY open.

Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story

MUSIC IS A UNIQUELY COLLABORATIVE art form, and the history of rock ’n’ roll, in particular, makes clear that even the most • Thru Oct. 5 accomplished solo artists require talented sidemen and producers to achieve artistic • 9:30 p.m. daily success and connect with audiences. The • Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts right collaborator at the right time can Center, 1618 Oretha Castle Haley make all the difference to a burgeoning career. Giving one such collaborative artist Blvd., (504) 352-1150; long-overdue recognition is the purpose www.zeitgeistnola.org of director Jon Brewer’s Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story. A guitarist of rare originality and style, Ronson is anything but obscure to David Bowie fans. Ronson contributed substantially to all five of Bowie’s classic, career-making albums released between 1970 and 1973: The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars, Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups. As a member of Bowie’s live band, the Spiders from Mars, Ronson helped make Bowie a huge star via the British and U.S. tours that followed Ziggy Stardust, Bowie’s creative and commercial breakthrough. On stage, Bowie and Ronson had chemistry to match that of The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards — or any other iconic duo in rock history. You have to look closely at the credits of those Bowie albums to see that the classically trained Ronson (who died of liver cancer in 1993 at age 46) often receives an “arranged by” credit, either alone or paired with Bowie. Arranging encompasses instrumentation, orchestration — everything beyond the bare bones of a song, and it’s something not often associated with rock ’n’ roll or credited on rock albums. Those credits are Bowie’s acknowledgement of Ronson, his true creative partner on those wildly original and influential early recordings. The chronological Beside Bowie traces Ronson and Bowie’s colorful shared history as well as Ronson’s solo work and stints as sideman or producer for Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Ian Hunter, Morrissey and many others. Musical colleagues, friends and family virtually line up for filmed interviews and voiceover narration to extol Ronson for his creative talent and his kind and humble nature. Rare photos and archival footage bring his early career with Bowie back to life on screen. Ronson and the other Spiders were working-class kids from the northern port city of Hull, and their introduction to swinging London — and the young Bowie’s gender-fluid world — provide some of the film’s lightest moments. By all accounts, Ronson and his band mates initially were taken aback by the makeup and androgynous clothing of the glam-rock era, at least until they discovered how much the band’s female fans liked it. An early manager of Bowie and director of a dozen music documentaries in recent years, the 67-year-old Brewer has the kind of insider’s access to key figures required to make Beside Bowie work. The director’s straightforward, no-nonsense approach (obviously trying to make the most of a limited budget) won’t earn him any awards, but it does reflect Ronson’s own work methods and personality. What Beside Bowie doesn’t have is full-length examples of the transcendent music described by nearly everyone in the film, presumably due to licensing fees that are prohibitive for a modest film like this. In their place are scenes such as one in which the late Reed sits in a modern studio, quietly marveling at the isolated orchestral score Ronson wrote for Reed’s “Perfect Day” from his album Transformer, which Ronson and Bowie produced in 1972. Fortunately for listeners, the music lives on even when those who made it are gone. — KEN KORMAN

PREVIEW NEW ORLEANS EAST NATIVE LORNA WILLIAMS’ assemblage sculptures at 5

Lo.cus • Through Nov. 11

Press Gallery are intriguing but also kind of • Lo.cus: New mixed-media eerie. Her mixing of industrial odds and ends works by Lorna Williams with bones, teeth, animal parts and plant specimens may elicit first impressions like • 5 Press Gallery, 5 Press St., “Creole steampunk” or “techno Voodoo,” (504) 249-5624; but what makes them eerie is their paradoxical blend of personal and cultural references www.5pressgallery.com that hark to the roots of this city and the diverse people who made it. New Orleans usually is defined by its joyous music, food and visual culture, but the real reason for its existence was commerce and industry, colonizers and slaves — in a location where waves of European and Caribbean immigrants came together to create its uniquely Creole culture. Williams’ ruggedly complex works ultimately reflect the mysterious psychic and spiritual undercurrents that define this city’s complicated history. Educated at top art schools, Williams scored solo shows at trendy New York galleries while in her mid-twenties, yet her rugged-looking concoctions of derelict mechanical and biological objects appear to reflect a deeply personal quest for meaning rather than being just another calculated “art career.” For instance, Sprung (pictured) is a constellation of crescents and triangles fashioned from derelict wood, metal and other objects including plaster teeth and an alligator claw. Configured like a veve, or Voodoo spirit diagram, it resonates like a techno-pagan altar, or perhaps a schematic reliquary salvaged from the rubbish bins of Crescent City history. Many other works reference the body. Cleave(d) — a humanoid head cobbled from machine parts with plaster teeth and a turtle shell skull cap — evokes a mechanical Voodoo zombie, or maybe an underworld spirit from the days when Warehouse District buildings housed infernal, sooty foundries and machine shops for the shipping industry. Onus, a worn, torsolike tree trunk studded with shiny copper nails, brings to mind a post-industrial tree fetish, a memorial totem to all the travails, tears and tortuous journeys undertaken by so many who collectively created America’s most celebrational city. — D.

REVIEW

Once on This Island

IT WAS IRONIC THAT WHILE A VIOLENT STORM ravaged a Caribbean island in the opening scene of Once on This Island, Hurricane Maria was battering PHOTO BY JOEY MORO Puerto Rico in real life. Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre presented the Afro-Caribbean musical, and its scenery in the wake of the story’s storm was much more uplifting than scenes in Puerto Rico, as islanders in the play emerged wearing vibrantly colored costumes amid a profusion of tropical vegetation framed against a cobalt sky. The original Broadway show, with book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty, was nominated for eight Tony Awards. The show is an adaptation of Rosa Guy’s novel, My Love, My Love: or, The Peasant Girl, and based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. The moral of the fable is essentially that love between social classes ultimately will fail. Andersen revised his dismal ending to be more hopeful, but in 1837, even divine intervention could not alter the social order. Paris Robertson plays the young Ti Moune (“little orphan”), who is rescued after the storm and adopted by Mama Euralie (Idella Johnson) and Tonton Julian (Robert Diago DoQui). Several years later, Daniel Beauxhomme (Luke Halpern), a gentleman from the wealthy landowners’ side of the island, crashes his car near their village. Ti Moune (Shangobunmi Durotimi) nurses him back to health and falls in love with him. Warned by her parents that Beauxhomme will never propose marriage, the girl clings to the impossibility that true love will prevail. The relationship between Ti Moune and Beauxhomme appears pleasant and sincere, but he wants her to become his mistress. “Some girls you marry; some you hold,” he sings. Flaherty’s rhythmic calypso music is formulaic and not particularly French or Caribbean, though Ahrens’ poetic lyrics elevate his score. Nevertheless, this production’s singers, dancers and musicians threw themselves into the mythical tale with wild abandon and sang their hearts out. Dynamic sister singers Jessica and Whitney Mixon gave high-voltage performances while Johnson and DoQui played Ti Moune’s loving, protective parents. Polanco Jones Jr. boosted the show’s energy with African-inspired choreography. Kathleen Moore, who recently played a singing dinosaur in Triassic Parq, portrayed Andrea Devereaux, Beauxhomme’s intended bride, as mean instead of merely entitled. In truth, an elegant Creole lady never would have been in competition with a pretty peasant. The gods — Erzulie (Taylor E. James), “Goddess of Love”; Agwe (Kebron Woodfin), “God of Water”; and Asaka (Jessica Mixon), “Mother of the Earth” — propelled the show. Inventive costumes by Julie Winn spiked the Caribbean punch. Papa Ge, “Demon of Death,” who tries to convince the desperate Ti Mourne to end her own life, was quirky in tails and a top hat covered with feathers and a skull. Once on This Island fails to make a serious statement about the class divide, getting lost in romantic fantasy, but the audience was so well-entertained, it seemed not to matter. — MARY RICKARD

REVIEW

Mr. Burns: a post electric play

IN THE “CAPE FEARE” episode of The Simpsons, Sideshow Bob gets out of jail and tries to kill Bart. The episode originally aired in 1993 in the series’ fifth season. With The Simpsons’ more than 600 episodes in reruns on TV, its world seems timeless • Oct. 5-7 if not ubiquitous. • 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat. Sitting around a campfire with a small group of friends, Matt (Rahim Glaspy) recounts the “Cape • Art Klub, 1941 Arts St.; Feare” episode scene-by-scene in the opening act www.artklub.org of Mr. Burns: a post electric play, currently running at Art Klub’s rough-hewn space in St. Roch. He • Tickets $15-$18 even explains how the cartoon mimicked the camera angles in the 1962 thriller Cape Fear (starPHOTO BY KATE ADAIR ring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum), upon which the episode is based. The others chime in to repeat lines of Simpsons dialogue and correct plot points: Lisa had a pen pal. It all goes well until a stranger approaches and panic takes over the circle. They’re not just passing time. They’re living in a post-catastrophe world with no electricity. One of the few things that’s certain is that the nation’s electrical grid went down. Director Jon Greene, co-producer of The Radical Buffoon(s), manages the difficult balance between the joyous recounting of the finer points of Simpsons lore with the upheaval that creeps from the edges of darkness toward the center of the stage. Mahalia Abeo Tibbs delivers a powerful, emotionally fraught account of the moment a friend succumbed to the spreading chaos while in line at a convenience store after the disaster. But no matter how uncertain their world is, there’s an easy comfort and humor provided by the pop culture they remember. Matt Reed, artistic director of co-producer Rockfire Theatre, is compellingly nervous as Gibson, the frazzled newcomer and entertaining in Gibson’s impersonation of Sideshow Bob. As the survivors adjust to their strange new world, which is somewhere in south Louisiana, they form a drama troupe and eke out a living performing Simpsons episodes for others. A music video montage is hilarious for its no-electricity production values, and though the “Hotline Bling” and Beyonce references are great, it goes on too long. The reverence for The Simpsons builds as their world struggles to find some form of normalcy. The narrative leap to the final act is a big one, and it’s initially brilliant with an entertaining Simpsons-inspired rap. There’s also a change of performance space, and while the minimalist set of the first part is appropriate, Julian Wellisz and Max Skelton’s relatively lavish Act 3 set is inspired. Playwright Anne Washburn’s Act 3 is only 35 minutes, but it would have a much stronger impact at half that. Some elements are clever and surprising, but despite the cast’s energy, the drama loses momentum. There are a couple of drawn-out scenes, but Washburn’s play is an entertaining and quirkily satisfying exploration of living on the edge of disaster. It appropriates popular culture without getting lost in it. Art Klub is an appropriately bare-bones venue for the context of the show. The cast is strong, and the production is polished in its vision and refreshingly scrappy in its low-budget execution. — WILL COVIELLO
