SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Up all nightie

TUE. OCT. 24 | New Orleans trumpeter Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah has developed his “stretch music” ethos, expanding jazz beyond its self-imposed boundaries. His massive Centennial trilogy (Ruler Rebel, Diaspora, The Emancipation Procrastination, all out this year) is his examination of 100 years of jazz, where it came from and where it’s going. NPR’s Jazz Night in America presents the show at 7:30 p.m. at the New Orleans Jazz Market.

Actress, comedian and lingerie designer Rhonda Shear releases her autobiography

TAUK

BY WILL COVIELLO

FRI. OCT. 27 | Texas trio Khruangbin drugs Thai-inspired funk and soul into a blissful midcentury-lounge subconsciousness, wherein the 40-minute “continuous mix” that closes 2015 LP The Universe Smiles Upon You (Late Night Tales) becomes its own disorienting beginning and end. The Shacks open at 10 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

WED. OCT. 25 | The New York quartet fuses progressive rock, jazz, funk and hip-hop in spacey explorations that have made all-instrumental albums such as 2016’s Sir Nebula popular with jam band fans. Dynamo opens at 9 p.m. at Republic.

AFTER DECADES ON TV,

posing in Playboy four times, being pursued by former Gov. Edwin Edwards and now releasing an autobiography in which she calls herself an “accidental feminist,” Rhonda Shear has some insights into sexual harassment in Hollywood. She recently was asked about it by Bubba the Love Sponge (aka Todd Clem) on his syndicated radio show. “He thought he was going to shock me,” Shear says from her home in St. Petersburg, Florida. “He said, ‘I know why you didn’t get hit on and why that didn’t happen to you. You’re too yappy.’ “’You’re right,’ I said. The minute a guy was starting to get turned on, I started talking and telling jokes.” The radio exchange led to her latest opportunity. “He made me his in-house cougar,” Shear says. “I am going to be on the show once a month. I said, ‘I’ll teach you all the tricks.’” This week, Shear is in her hometown of New Orleans to celebrate the release of her autobiography and advice book, Up All Night: From Hollywood Bombshell to Lingerie Mogul, Life Lessons from an Accidental Feminist. It chronicles her teenage years as a pageant winner (including winning three Miss Louisiana titles), her long association with Playboy, stints on TV including hosting 450 installments of the cable TV show Up All Night and beginning her lingerie business, which topped $100 million in sales in 2012. Some New Orleanians may remember her 1978 campaign for Register of Conveyances. “I ran in the same election as Dutch Morial’s campaign for mayor,” she says. “He endorsed me.” Shear may be the most famous person to have run for Register of

Caroline, or Change

Conveyances. It started as a feisty payback for being denied the title of Queen of the Floral Trail after she appeared — clothed — in Playboy. When she realized that the person who delivered the decision, Gaspar Schiro, was running for the office, she threw her hat in the ring. She lost by 135 votes (Schiro served until the office was dissolved in 2008). Though she had come up with a plan to modernize the office, once denied, Shear simply moved on. Though admitted to Loyola University’s law school, she decided to go to Los Angeles for the summer and tried to break into TV. She played Fonzie’s (Henry Winkler) girlfriend on a few episodes of Happy Days. Over the years, she appeared on dozens of shows including Dallas, CHiPs, The Dukes of Hazzard, The Gong Show and many more. Though usually typecast as a blonde bombshell, Shear wanted to be a comedian. She couldn’t break typecasting in TV, and eventually used the image as a joke on Up All Night. As the host of the lowend cable show, she dressed and sometimes acted like a ditzy blonde while introducing B-movies and censored sexploitation flicks. The more the network cut out of the

films, the more time she had to fill in with her own commentary and bits. She also had fun secretly teasing foot fetishist fans who wrote to her, as she details in the book. Filming meant she often spent many hours in lingerie and tiny outfits, which later spawned another career. Her quest to find comfortable underwear for a curvy body led her to launch a lingerie line with her husband in 2003. Being a natural on TV helped. The line took off with the help of an infomercial and her time on Home Shopping Network. At first she tried telling underwear jokes, but that wasn’t what worked best. “You have to tell a story,” Shear says.

FRI.-SUN. OCT. 27-NOV. 5 | Troi Bechet stars in Lake Charles native Tony Kushner’s (Angels in America) musical about the friendship between Caroline, a struggling single mother who works as a maid, and Noah, a boy in the family that employs her. (Kushner speaks at Loyola University at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2.) The musical is at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Westwego Performing Arts Theatre.

City of Caterpillar, Majority Rule and pg. 99 MON. OCT. 30 | A holy trinity of hardcore punk bands from the fertile valley of Sterling, Virginia descends on its sister city New Orleans to relive the heyday of late-’90s and early 2000s punk and all its emotional, sweaty chaos. Louisiana’s Thou joins the bill at 7 p.m. at Zeitgeist MultiDisciplinary Arts Center.

Joyce Manor with Wavves MON. OCT. 30 | This co-headlining tour pairs polar-opposite Californian pop/punk outfits Joyce Manor and Wavves, each promoting its most streamlined record yet: for Joyce Manor, 2016’s Cody (Epitaph); for Wavves, the May release You’re Welcome (Ghost Ramp). Culture Abuse opens at 8 p.m. at the Joy Theater.

Comment

On bestofneworleans.com, we asked if New Orleans audiences are more prone to talking through concerts than audiences in other cities: “I have to agree that you tend to get this more at bigger shows (stadiums/ arenas) simply because you get more casual music fans at those kinds of shows. People with whom a concert is “just another thing to do”. Whereas smaller shows, you tend to get more cult-ish bands/artists, and therefore get more people who are more seriously into music and see it as less of a social event.” — Mark Sanford

CHARBONNET, CANTRELL SET RUNOFF DEBATES District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell, who is facing off against former Municipal Court Judge Desiree Charbonnet in the mayoral runoff election, last week challenged Charbonnet to three live debates before the Nov. 18 general election. She cited low election turnout as part of the reason, saying in a statement, “I feel it’s up to us to give the people a reason to vote. … Our people deserve this, and they need to see the candidates sticking to the issues without negativity, but with an eye for creating a better and safer city for all.” Two debates will be held this week. Both Charbonnet and Cantrell have confirmed attendance at a debate at Tulane University, which will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Oct. 24 in the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life. That debate is sponsored by the Isaiah Institute of New Orleans. The following night a debate titled “Flood Risk and Adapting to Coastal and Environmental Change” will take place in Lupin Hall on the campus of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The debate is being hosted by the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the Urban Conservancy and the Greater New Orleans Foundation. It’s open to the public and will be broadcast on WYES-TV at 10 p.m. Oct. 26.

“We PROUDLY SERVE Popeyes’ spicy tenders — the best fried chicken anywhere and from New Orleans — which are delivered twice a day.” — Kim Sanchez, owner of the Sweet Dixie Kitchen in Long Beach, California, after a Yelp reviewer called out the restaurant for using Popeyes in its chicken-and-waffles dish. “I tried Costco chicken, I tried Restaurant Depot chicken, and then I went to dinner at Popeyes and knew this was the chicken we had to use for the store,” Sanchez told Fox News. The cost of Sweet Dixie’s version? $13.

Incumbent District C Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey requested a recount of absentee ballots after losing her seat to challenger Kristin Gisleson Palmer by only 112 votes in the Oct. 14 election. That recount took place Oct. 19, and officials found only one error, ultimately giving Palmer a 111-vote lead in a race where more than 13,000 ballots had been cast. Palmer, who represented District C from 2010 to 2014, decided not to run for reelection at the end of her first term, setting up a race between former District

14 after her father’s election night party. In a statement, Bagneris family spokeswoman Cheron Brylski said, “Late Saturday night, after attending an election night event for her father, Tulane Professor Mia Bagneris was getting out of her car as she returned home. At that time, a drunken driver hit her causing serious, life-threatening injuries. Her stabilization is the focus of Michael and his family. We ask you to keep them all in your prayers.” Devin Johnson, who works with Brylski, told Gambit there would be no further comment at this time. According to the Tulane University website, Mia Kearney-Bagneris is an assistant professor in the art history department, specializing in “African American/Diaspora art history and studies of race in Western Art.” A GoFundMe account to help the family pay hospital expenses had raised more than $29,000 as of Oct. 20.

C Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson and Ramsey. Ramsey won that contest, then Palmer said she decided to run again this year. She came out swinging, labeling Ramsey “No-Show Nadine.” Ramsey answered that Palmer was a “quitter.” The new council members will take office on Inauguration Day, May 7, 2018.

Bagneris’ daughter severely injured by drunk driver on Election Night Tulane University professor Mia Kearney-Bagneris, the daughter of mayoral candidate Michael Bagneris, was struck by a drunk driver Oct.

Tony — a 17-year-old Siberian Bengal tiger — has died, after living his life as a Grosse Tete truck stop attraction at the center of a controversial legal battle over his captivity in Louisiana. According to a statement from the Tiger Truck Stop website, Tony was euthanized Oct. 16 after exhibiting “typical signs that death was imminent.” The website said the animal was euthanized to “prevent Tony from suffering” and that Tony will be “preserved through taxidermy” following an autopsy. Tony had lived at the truck stop since January 2001, when the tiger was six months old. The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) — an animal welfare organization that led several legal challenges to move Tony to a sanctuary — says the group is “deeply saddened” by Tony’s death. In July, the group filed Freedom of Information Act requests from the U.S. Department of Agriculture related to the tiger’s health and wellbeing. The group is “frustrated and angered” Tony remained at the truck stop despite a 2012 judgment prohibiting the state from issuing permits allowing Tony’s captivity. Tony’s owner Michael Sandlin argued in a 2012 lawsuit that the state’s

ban on private ownership of big cats is unconstitutional. In 2014, the Louisiana Legislature and then-Gov. Bobby Jindal passed a law exempting Tiger Truck Stop from that ban on captive big cats, going against the previous court ruling.

In new plan, NOPD to carry naloxone to combat opioid deaths The U.S. Department of Justice has awarded the New Orleans Health Department $298,706 to combat a recent spike in opioid use and to support prevention efforts. As part of a plan to address the opioid epidemic, Mayor Mitch Landrieu and city officials also revealed Oct. 18 that New Orleans Police Department officers will carry naloxone, the life-saving drug that can prevent overdose deaths. A 2016 Gambit cover story found that no Louisiana law enforcement agency carried naloxone — and that locally it had only been previously carried by EMS and New Orleans Fire Department first responders, despite a 2014 statewide law encouraging law enforcement to carry it. More than 200 people in New Orleans died from drug-related causes in 2016, more than double the number of similar deaths from 2015. Of last year’s drug-related deaths, 166 involved opiates, and 48 people died with the synthetic opioid fentanyl in their system. City Hall also has issued a request for proposals from Louisiana law firms regarding the role that pharmaceutical companies and distributors may have played in contributing to the opioid crisis.

ACLU files suit against Cannizzaro The ACLU of Louisiana filed a lawsuit last week against Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro and 10 assistant district attorneys. The suit alleges the DA oversaw an “illegal scheme of fabricating subpoenas” that forced victims and witnesses to submit to interrogations and that his office presented “fraudulent” documents to get judges to issue arrest warrants. The use of “fake subpoenas” was first uncovered by New Orleans online news organization The Lens earlier this year and has

8. Service industry workers turn out for union rally

At an Oct. 19 rally that was part of nationwide demonstrations held by the UNITE HERE hospitality workers union, New Orleans and Biloxi hotel, convention center and casino employees called for local service industry workers to organize and spoke out in praise of the union. About 75 people, a few still in chef coats and pants, gathered Oct. 19 at the corner of Convention Center Boulevard and Canal Street to chant and hear speakers who are members of Local 2262, UNITE HERE’s area chapter. “When hospitality jobs are unionized, they become middle-class jobs,” Marlene Patrick-Cooper, UNITE HERE organizing director, said. “It’s the best answer for fighting poverty in the United States.” Two City Council candidates who attended the rally already had pledged their support. James Gray, the incumbent District E councilman currently in a Nov. 18 runoff election against opponent Cyndi Nguyen, donned a red UNITE HERE shirt and vowed to assist to the union in contract negotiations if he is re-elected. Jay Banks, who faces Seth Bloom in a runoff for the District B City Council seat, also spoke,

saying he would be “a friend” to unions if elected. “Making sure that families can work and afford to live is crucial to the survival of this city,” he said. The rally was just one of a series of recent events which indicate new momentum in efforts to organize the city’s hospitality industry, which employs more than 80,000 people. Last month, the newly formed New Orleans Hospitality Workers Committee marched through the French Quarter to call for more equitable treatment. Earlier this year, 500 workers at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel voted to unionize with UNITE HERE, joining workers at the Loews New Orleans Hotel, Harrah’s New Orleans Hotel and Casino and some departments at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

9. Fortunato to

challenge Lopinto for Jeff Parish sheriff

John Fortunato, longtime public information officer for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department, resigned last month in what many took to be a sign he would challenge interim Sheriff Joe Lopinto. Fortunato made it official last week with a campaign kickoff in Metairie. “Leading this department and protecting this parish against crime has been a lifelong dream. I just don’t believe that we have to accept a politician’s handpicked candidate to serve as sheriff,” Fortunato said in his retirement announcement — a swipe at former Sheriff Newell Normand, who now works as a talk show host on WWL-AM and who appointed Lopinto as his successor. Fortunato also has hired veteran Jefferson Parish political consultant Greg Buisson to steer his campaign. The Jefferson Parish sheriff’s election will be held March 24, 2018, with a runoff (if necessary) April 28, 2018.

gained significant national exposure. The ACLU and Civil Rights Corps filed the lawsuit on behalf of six people who were either jailed as witnesses or had received “fake” subpoenas to testify. “Louisiana is ground zero for the fight against mass incarceration, but we know we are not unique when it comes to top prosecutors who seek punishment at any costs instead of building trust with their communities to achieve justice,” said Marjorie Esman, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana. Following coverage by The Lens, Cannizzaro announced the office had ended the practice of sending those subpoenas. In a statement following the lawsuit’s filing, Cannizzaro said, “No individual who alleges that they were aggrieved by my office’s policies and practices has contacted me. I look forward to addressing these allegations in federal court before a fair and impartial tribunal. I look forward to litigating these issues in a venue where naked allegations must be supported by substantive proof.” The Orleans Public Defenders Office issued a statement saying it is “not surprised by the allegations in the lawsuit.” “We repeatedly witness this District Attorney’s willingness to try to win at all costs — ignoring law, ethics and the best interests of the community,” the statement said.

COMMENTARY

Every vote really does count AS ELECTION DAY DAWNED OCT. 14, many worried —

and Secretary of State Tom Schedler predicted — that turnout would be abysmally low. Schedler even offered to eat crow, literally, if statewide turnout hit just 15 percent. It didn’t, though it did reach nearly 32 percent in New Orleans, where the ballot included hotly contested races for mayor, all seven City Council seats and two judgeships. Statewide, the main attraction was a low-key contest for state treasurer. As Jeremy Alford of LaPoliticsNow put it, the low turnout “basically means that 400,000 voters collectively called the shots for Louisiana’s entire electorate, which numbers around 2.9 million voters.” While the rest of the state may not have been fired up about the treasurer’s race,

New Orleanians had no excuse for not voting in larger numbers. The mayoral and council races had forums galore, offering voters many opportunities to see and hear the candidates. Locally, voters have a chance to do better on Nov. 18, when they will choose a new mayor and settle two still-undecided City Council elections. There’s also a statewide runoff for treasurer. Much has been said about voters’ lack of enthusiasm about the 2017 crop of candidates, but the simple truth is that either District B City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell or former Municipal Court Judge Desiree Charbonnet will become New Orleans’ next mayor on May 7, 2018. The winner will lead New Orleans’ tricentennial celebration and face some of the most daunting challenges in our city’s history.

Speaking of history, this election will give New Orleans its first woman mayor. The two candidates’ positions on the issues are more matters of degree than fundamental governing philosophy. Each is supported — and opposed — by well-known big-money donors. Cantrell has a council voting record on which she can be judged; Charbonnet has a long history on the bench and in the Recorder of Mortgages office.

PH OTO BY K E VI N ALLMAN

Their campaign styles differ significantly. Charbonnet is a traditional “establishment” candidate who is backed by a horde of city contractors and some well-known political operatives. Her campaign raised almost as much as her two closest rivals combined. Cantrell is cut from the “populist” mold, having started as a neighborhood association leader and

community activist. Her campaign relied more on volunteers, yet she led the 18-candidate field by more than 8 percentage points on Election Day. Other races to be decided on Nov. 18 include the District B City Council seat, where Jay Banks and Seth Bloom offer contrasting choices; and in District E, where incumbent Councilman James Gray will defend his seat against community activist Cyndi Nguyen. If you want proof that every vote really does count, consider the just-concluded District C City Council race in which former Councilmember Kristin Gisleson Palmer beat incumbent Nadine Ramsey by a mere 111 votes — fewer than 1 percent of the total votes cast. New Orleans’ next mayor will make history for reasons far more important than gender. Along with the new City Council, she will chart our city’s first steps into its fourth century. If you live in New Orleans, your vote will determine the direction those steps take.

Attacking? Best not miss WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICAL ATTACKS, the rule of thumb

was succinctly stated by the character Omar Little in the hit TV drama The Wire: “You come at the king, you best not miss.” In politics, an attack must be relevant, accurate and artfully delivered. A volley that misses the mark invites a devastating counterpunch. Similarly, those that are ham-fisted, tasteless, or just plain overkill cross an invisible line that voters inherently recognize — and they punish candidates who cross it. In the New Orleans mayoral primary, I saw a lot of misses and a bit of overkill. The most glaring example of both was the series of attack mailers sent out against early frontrunner Desiree Charbonnet by a political action committee (PAC) calling itself Not For Sale

NOLA. The PAC was funded by seven high-profile New Orleans business folks and Baton Rouge businessman Lane Grigsby. The mailers purported to expose Charbonnet’s corruption and cronyism via “The Desiree Charbonnet Tales,” as told in three cartooned “chapters” plus a final installment that arrived in the closing days of the primary. If the PAC’s aim was to knock Charbonnet out of the running, it failed. She lost her frontrunner status, trailing LaToya Cantrell by more than 8 percentage points in the Oct. 14 primary, but she easily beat Uptown favorite Michael Bagneris. And she is very much alive in the runoff. The PAC’s anti-Charbonnet campaign suffered from several miscalculations. First, its members all were white big shots who funded polit-

If the PAC’s aim was to knock Charbonnet out of the running, it failed. She lost her frontrunner status, trailing LaToya Cantrell by more than 8 percentage points in the Oct. 14 primary, but she easily beat Uptown favorite Michael Bagneris. ical shots at a black woman candidate for mayor. The optics of that were horrible in a racially divided city. Second, the message of each “chapter” was basically the same: guilt by association. The attacks claimed Charbonnet (who never has been accused of wrongdoing) could not be trusted because several allegedly nefarious characters — all of them black — were supporting her candidacy. The third problem was the sum of the first two: the attacks missed the mark. There was no smoking gun,

though two mailers put a cartoon gun literally in Charbonnet’s hand. Ironically, Charbonnet’s counterattack was almost as weak. She took after Leslie Jacobs, the PAC’s reputed leader, who, despite her service on local and state school boards, is hardly a household name. That brings to mind another rule of thumb: If you’re going to attack someone who’s not a candidate, make sure it’s someone whom everyone knows and just about everyone dislikes. Jacobs is neither.

Ultimately, many voters — particularly black voters — saw the greatest weakness of the PAC’s strategy on their own: The same so-called bad guys who are backing Charbonnet also backed Mitch Landrieu for mayor and state Rep. Helena Moreno in the just-ended at-large City Council election. If those guys are so evil and their influence so deleterious to good government, why didn’t Not For Sale NOLA attack Landrieu eight years ago — or Moreno eight weeks ago? Cantrell, who finds herself now in the unfamiliar position of frontrunner, has called for a runoff free of attacks. Given the stakes, that’s probably wishful thinking. But, if candidates and voters have to endure more attacks, they best be relevant, accurate, not ham-fisted — and not miss.

Hey Blake, I am reading the book Lace Curtain by author Mary Lou Widmer. What can you tell me about the author and the publishing company listed as Little Woods Publishing Company? —FAY

Dear Fay, Like her dozen or so published books, the name that author Mary Lou Widmer chose when she self-published the romantic historical novel Lace Curtain reflects her love for her hometown. She borrowed the name Little Woods from the lakefront community in New Orleans East where she and her husband lived at the time she wrote her first books. Widmer is a New Orleans native and former teacher who began writing professionally in the mid-1970s. Her first historical novel, Night Jasmine, was published in 1980. The Cinderella story focuses on the main

character Katie, the daughter of Italian immigrants and kitchen maid who rises to the top of New Orleans society. Widmer said she based the character in part on her mother-inlaw. A second historical novel, Lace Curtain, followed in 1985. Set in the 1830s, it tells the story of three members of an Irish family who come to New Orleans to work as diggers during the creation of the New Basin Canal. She followed Lace Curtain with a sequel, Twin Oaks. Two books that Widmer and co-author Joan Garvey wrote on the history of the city and state are still used as textbooks in local schools and tour guide classes. The pair wrote and published Beautiful Crescent: A History of New Orleans in 1983. They later collaborated on Louisiana: The First 300 Years. In 1989, Widmer began a popular series of books sharing photos and memories of life in New Orleans throughout the 20th century. The first was New Orleans in the Thirties. It was followed by books chronicling the city in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1920s and the period from 1900 to 1920. The books still are in print and available from Pelican Publishing Company.

THE PREP FOOTBALL SEASON IS IN FULL SWING AROUND TOWN , which got

us to thinking about some of the names on local stadiums. They are named for gridiron greats, but most of the young athletes who play there probably know very little about their namesakes. The most prominent one is Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park. Opened in 1937 as City Park Stadium, in 1965 it was renamed for Francis Thomas “Tad” Gormley, the park’s longtime athletic director. Harold “Hoss” Memtsas Stadium in Harvey bears the name of the legendary former coach at West Jefferson High School. In 2016, the playing field was named in honor of Ray Latoof, an assistant coach who guided the team to the state championship after Memtsas’ sudden death in 1970. Joe Yenni Stadium at East Jefferson High School is named after the former Jefferson Parish President and Kenner mayor, who was also a coach at E.J. and earlier in his career led the Kenner High School football team to a state championship. The namesake of a Kenner stadium, Anthony J. “Muss” Bertolino, entered Kenner politics in the 1960s as an alderman and later City Council president. A playground and stadium were named for him after his death in 1975. In Chalmette, Bobby Nuss Stadium is named after the former head coach at Chalmette High School, who led the Owls to the football playoffs in 1967 and 1968.

SOMETIMES CHANGE CAN BE HARD TO SWALLOW, but at

Ben’s Burgers (2008 Clearview Parkway, Metairie, 504-8892837; www.eatatbens. com), the bite is tasty. Ben Collier took ownership of the Metairie Bud’s Broiler location in 2012 and left the franchise in 2016, then renamed the restaurant. Collier has put his mark on the eatery since then. “We upgraded the whole menu,” Collier says. “We have better quality meats, doubled the size of the chicken sandwich and we expanded the menu to include hot sausage patties.” Collier created his own hickory smoke sauce, as well as fry dipping sauce that can be added to any sandwich. He’s also created a new signature sandwich called the Big Ben, which offers double beef, bacon and french fry sauce topped with chili cheese fries. The restaurant has been a part of Collier’s life since he was a freshman in high school. His sister opened the restaurant as part of the Bud’s Broiler franchise in 2001, and his first job there was toasting the buns. “I was 14 going on 15 and I could barely see over the counter,” Collier says. He later was given responsibility for fries and drinks, and next he learned to work the grill and make sandwiches. Eventually he worked the register. “After five or six years, I went to the back office to help my sister,” he says. “I learned the paperwork and the money side.” Having worked in all aspects of the restaurant, Collier was well prepared to take over the Bud’s Broiler and then to rebrand as Ben’s Burgers. “Being here so long, you get to know a lot of the customers,” he says. “We have some regulars that have been coming since I was a kid. They are like extended family. It’s also nice to get to know new faces.” Although there have been changes, there are constants between Bud’s Broiler and Ben’s Burgers.

“We 100 percent have always been charcoal-grilled since conception,” Collier says. The restaurant remains open 24 hours daily and features the same humorous cow decor it has had since 2001. “[I], my dad and my sister all painted this stuff,” Collier says. “Everything is pretty much exactly the same. … We changed the name and changed the menu around a little bit.” Above the drink station is a picture of Collier dressed as Cyborg Saint, Collier’s New Orleans Saints “Superfan” persona. “People knew the costume and the Superfan, but they didn’t know that I owned [Ben’s Burgers],” he says. “I tried to tie the two together. … It gave people a reason to come try us.” Collier says that initially there was some resistance to the new ownership. “People were used to going to Bud’s [Broiler] and were used to this being a Bud’s [Broiler],” he says. “When they found out that we were the same people who have been here for the last 15 years, they gave us a shot. It was about going out on our own and making a name for ourselves. It’s been a positive change.”

Public Service is open inside the NOPSI Hotel BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund IT’S HARD NOT TO BE IMPRESSED by

the size and scale of the operation at Public Service, which opened inside the new NOPSI Hotel earlier this year. The yawning space inside the historic New Orleans Public Service building has chandeliers hanging from its high ceilings and the open kitchen anchors a massive dining room with plush booths, exposed brick walls and beige and natural accents. There is no arguing this is a largescale hotel operation, and dining here can feel like a metropolitan affair in any number of larger cities. The space does little to imbue any sense of New Orleans, despite the building’s history. Local references come in the form of food, and the menu tips its hat to New Orleans and the Gulf South in several instances. Those dishes also find the most success. Tasso hushpuppies made with sweet corn and pimiento cheese arrive with a syrupy sheen of honey cane syrup, a sweet and savory snack that makes for good drinking fodder. A deliciously crispy chicken-fried soft-shell crab arrives on a bed of arugula sidling chunks of juicy watermelon and blistered serrano peppers drizzled with cool watermelon ranch dressing. A blue crab and spinach dip made with Abita Amber beer was on the salty side on one visit, but otherwise an indulgent treat, served alongside sea-salt flecked crackers. There were a few instances when the kitchen used too heavy a hand with the salt, and a couple dishes would benefit from restraint. Flavors of tarragon and roasted garlic were

lost in an anchovy-topped flatbread. The menu is hit-or-miss. The “baguette” accompanying the bone marrow ordered on one evening consisted of two stale pieces of po-boy bread. Black bean hummus topped with roasted red peppers was served on a shallow plate that seemed an odd serving vessel for a dip, but more important, the small amount of cilantro gremolata was the most flavorful part of the dish. There’s a loose Southern theme with the smaller plates, but it is hard to find a connecting thread with the larger dishes. Fortunately, most of the entrees fare well. A juicy rib-eye steak was cooked to a beautiful medium rare with a flavorful crust and char. The steak is topped with a Stilton blue cheese butter that melts into the meat while a bracingly crispy arugula salad with pickled onions cut through some of the richer parts of the dish. Also good is a plate of tagliatelle cloaked in

2015 Poizin Zinfandel California Retail $10-$16

ARMIDA WINERY’S OWNERS, brothers Steve and Bruce

Cousins, are having fun with Poizin, which they describe as a “wine to die for.” On their seven-acre estate in Sonoma, California, they craft several types of Poizin, and the winery offers a wooden case shaped like a coffin. (The winery also makes a pinot grigio called Antidote.) A blend of more than 98 percent zinfandel, a small amount of petit syrah and a touch of black malvasia grapes were sourced from Sonoma and Lodi vineyards. The fruit was destemmed, and the varietals fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenters. After blending, the wine was racked into a mix of new and used American oak barrels and Hungarian casks. In the glass, the wine exhibits aromatics of black plum, anise, cranberry, a touch of oak and black pepper. On the palate, taste spice, herbal tones, black tea, black cherry, blackberry and firm tannins. Decant 15 minutes before serving. Drink it with barbecue, rare steaks, chili, pizza, burgers, grilled or roasted meats and sausages. Buy it at: Cost Plus World Market, Acquistapace’s Wine & Cheese, Saia’s Super Meat Market and Rouses on Highway 22 in Mandeville.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Michelle Mashon CULINARY TOUR GUIDE THROUGH HER COMPANY Bon Moment (www.bonmomentnola. com), Michelle Mashon leads culinary tours in neighborhoods outside the French Quarter. On her next tour on Nov. 8, participants will visit restaurants in the Carrollton and Riverbend neighborhoods, sample dishes at each and meet the chefs. Mashon spoke with Gambit about the tours.

How did you start your culinary tour company? MASHON: A few years ago I was working at Dishcrawl, which was similar. I’m a foodie, and I’m a natural organizer and loved showing around 30 strangers. I quit because I basically realized that I could do it on my own, which I’ve been doing for almost two years now. My goal is to do five or six (tours) a year. Working with restaurants has been really great. I do two kinds of tours: I’ll do small groups — for people that might be coming from out of town, maybe six to eight friends, or a couple of couples who are visiting New Orleans and want to get out of the French Quarter. I also do larger group tours, and those are mostly for locals and open to the public. With those, it will be people getting together who don’t really know each other, but after the first cocktail, they’re all friends. It’s a way for New Orleanians to get into neighborhoods that maybe they haven’t visited in a while. We have older New Orleanians who have been around but maybe haven’t been out in a while, and then we have a lot of couples that are new to the city and couples that might want to do something special with friends. It’s people in their 20s through 60s.

What neighborhoods do you go to? M: None of my tours are in the French Quarter unless (customers) specifically ask for that. Part of my ethos is that there is enough going on in the French Quarter and I feel like we have a wealth of amazing restaurants across the city. I want

Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

to show off some of the cultural institutions that people miss when they only see the Quarter. We did one on Oretha Castle Haley (Boulevard), and there’s one coming up in Carrollton. I’ve done one on St. Claude (Avenue). It’s more than show up, stuff your face and go home. You meet the chef; you meet the restaurant staff. It’s more immersive and about honoring their work and learning through these experiences about the city. It can be a complicated thing — finding places that are all in walking distance of each other. I figure if I wouldn’t want to walk somewhere, someone else wouldn’t either. It can be difficult finding places that can handle a crowd, so I only do tours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I do it on the slow nights so that we don’t interrupt the restaurants’ regular service, and (restaurants’) regular diners don’t feel like they’re being crushed.

How are the tours structured? M: The one on Nov. 8 is going to be in Carrollton, so we’ll visit Dante’s Kitchen, Carrollton Market, La Casita Taqueria, Boucherie and Bourree. Then there is always a secret surprise stop. I like to keep a little surprise in my pocket. So for the tickets, there is an all-food and all-food-and-drink option. They get a few tastings at each stop and half or a full cocktail per place. Basically, at the end of the tour they’re set. I’ve never had anybody go hungry, and they’ve walked a bit so they’ve digested a bit. You’re never walking more than a quarter mile at any given time. — HELEN FREUND

JARED PELLERIN MADE A SEEMINGLY OUT-OFNOWHERE SPLASH in 2014 with Floating While

Dreaming, a fully realized full-length vision from the New Orleans-born rapper. In 2015, he told Gambit he had “a lot more stories to tell” — he released LIMBO later that year, exploring isolation, fame, relationships and identity, all wrapped and warped in brooding electronic scores. In 2017, he’s trickling out singles and videos preparing for an EP release later this year. “I’m back to music every day,” he says from Los Angeles. “I wake up, I just bought myself a guitar — I want to learn musical instruments over again. There was a period where I was really experimenting, but as the industry goes you don’t have a lot of time, you have so many hats, you don’t give it the attention it needs, other than, ‘I’m gonna write these fire 16. I’m gonna write these fire bars. They’re gonna catch these bars.’ That’s easy for me at this point. I just want to make sure I’m giving it all I can and also challenging myself.” On Floating While Dreaming, the rapper weaves his stream-of-consciousness self-examinations through dreamy textures and psychedelic soul. “A lot of those songs are from the heart, but because of that they weren’t really channeling any specific emotions or anything,” he says. “I love that. It fits in with the name. It’s in the title. But at the same time I had to graduate and deeply examine what I wanted to talk about and make it a bit more timeless.” LIMBO plants Pell’s feet on the ground with a return to storytelling while his head stays in the clouds, with dense production (from TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek) propelling his inner monologues. Pell still begins his writing sessions with in-studio freestyle, finding the mantra he’ll repeat to inspire the song. On LIMBO’s “Queso,” he found his way from a call-and-response chorus about “money and cheese” to reveal a story about a relationship’s collapse around material obsessions. “Sometimes the first take is the first verse. We’ll arrange that, but it’s Russian roulette,” he

says. “You get that raw energy from your first inspiration on the track.” Pell’s ascent over the last few years also has reconnected him to his hometown and its growing scene of genre-crossing artists. Pell evacuated to Mississippi with his mother following Hurricane Katrina and shared a two-bedroom house with 10 people. “A lot of times there’s a need for artists to have a clique, a unit, a city, a label to vouch for them, to represent wherever they go,” he says. “A community is starting to build around these separated movements, that create and consolidate around something someone can tangibly see as ‘New Orleans.’ ... There’s no musician or group of musicians who can do it without a village. New Orleans is our village. We need to take care of it and nurture one another when it counts. We’re starting to do that because we’re starting to see how alike we are even though we may see so different in the city.” A recent music video for 2017 single “Patience” stars the rapper dancing among pastel parasols and brass brands under the I-10 overpass, dodging winds from Tropical Storm Cindy and second-lining into neighboring streets. It’s that image and his effervescent raps and production that often put him in the same breath as Chance the Rapper and D.R.A.M., whose buoyancy has galvanized a gospel-like quality in hip-hop while

reflecting difficult truths. Pell says that’s always been the case for New Orleans. “We’ve always had a chip on our shoulder,” he says. “There’s always been certain divisions and adversities we always talk about in our music, and we’re always trying to lift people up in our music. … There’s a lot of little struggles along the way [that] we constantly talk about in our music because we confront them on a daily basis. As an artist it’s always your job to reflect and represent what’s going on in your community, whether it’s good or bad, to shed some light on it and potentially get a positive outcome. … There hasn’t been a new resurgence of it — it’s always been this undercurrent, but now that it’s ‘in,’ there could actually be a movement to come from it, where people are paying attention to the lyricism a bit more.” Pell’s live band features two musical directors — New Orleans jazz guitarist Dominic Minix and versatile percussionist Billy Delulles (Shlohmo, Chrome Sparks) — with Pell in the driver’s seat. “I want to tell you where I’m from, why I’m here and where I’m headed,” he says. “You have these different genres on stage — jazz, hip-hop, electronic influence, R&B at times. … I want to be able to speak to anybody. … I want to make sure I can do that in real time as quickly as possible. I’m trying to speak in as many languages as possible. I’m trying to be the Rosetta Stone.”

CHICANO BATMAN BY NATHAN MATTISE

GENRE-BENDING LOS ANGELESBASED QUARTET Chicano Batman

played Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in 2012. But ask frontman Bardo Martinez, and it sounds like a different act entirely. “I remember we played and took so long,” Martinez says. “That was right in the middle of our development, and we were taking like three minutes to set up for the next song. We were that band — taking forever. I’m looking forward to showing folks what we’ve got now.” Chicano Batman’s music has resonated with many kinds of fans — on college radio and Latin rock stations, in small clubs and on the massive stages of the Coachella and Sasquatch! music festivals. The group, often dressed in matching formalwear, transports audiences to whatever carefree location they can imagine through a smooth blend of surf and psychedelic rock, tropicalia and cumbia. And on the band’s latest album, 2017’s Freedom Is Free, it turned up the volume on some of its previously subtler influences: soul and R&B. “We were always influenced by that, but we threw everything in the pot and let it simmer this time,” Martinez says, noting that lately he can’t get enough of Barbara Lewis’ “Baby I’m Yours.” For Freedom, the band worked with producer Leon Michels, who’s worked with The Black Keys, Raekwon and the late Sharon Jones. Michels helped the band tease out and emphasize its funk influences. Freedom Is Free has bass lines that’ll remind listeners of vintage James Brown (“Angel Child”) and unfussy percussion lines that leave plenty of room for sample-ready passages (“Jealousy”). “When you put too many elements in, you take away from the dynamics of a song,” Martinez says. “Instead,

you (should) hold back so you can emphasize certain sections. We definitely took that approach for this album.” Since its release in March, Freedom Is Free has earned accolades for its message as much as its music. Though written before the 2016 presidential election, Freedom Is Free touches on many themes that now resonate strongly. A Spanishlanguage ballad called “La Jura” details the police shooting of a 19-year-old in the neighborhood of bassist Eduardo Arenas 15 years ago. A tidy bass- and drum-line introduces the title track, which ponders maintaining hope in the face of dangerous or oppressive forces. The band’s new video for the song portrays all four members being interrogated via water torture, increasing the juxtaposition of sound and message. “The Taker Story” is the band’s take on classic soul, as Martinez does his best to convey a Gil Scott-Heron-type of spokenword activism. It all points to a much different Chicano Batman performance at Voodoo this year. But if the band’s shows in the meantime are any indication, audiences have embraced the evolution. “People are singing our songs throughout the country,” Martinez says. “It feels great. But there are other songs now, for example ‘The Taker Story,’ (where) I feel like I’m delivering the sermon. I’ll sit down for the first few phrases and then pace slowly across the stage, really trying to connect with everybody. It’s a completely different dynamic. We’re always working on our visual presentation. ... With our shows, people can really feel what we’re about, more than with our album really. We bring it with everything we got.”

BENJAMIN BOOKER CHANGE OFTEN COMES QUICKLY

for Benjamin Booker. He moved to New Orleans in 2012 to work for a nonprofit, while playing music in barrooms and bouncing back and forth to his former home in Gainesville, Florida, to record a foursong EP. By the end of summer 2014, he had signed with ATO Records,

released an eponymous full-length album capturing his fusion of punk and blues-driven guitar rock and raspy vocals, and went on tour opening for Jack White. In February 2016, disturbed by events that led to the Black Lives Matter movement and inspired by James Baldwin (explained in an essay Booker

published), he left his home in New Orleans for Mexico. He was there for just one month before he realized that violence and civil rights issues were everywhere. His experiences inspired his June release, Witness. Mavis Staples contributes to the title track, and though there are rocking tunes reminiscent of the raw sound on his first album, it’s also got smoother and gospel-inspired vocals and a focus on social justice. — WILL COVIELLO

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM

THE BREAK-UP OF LCD SOUNDSYSTEM was one of those

music-world tragedies too terrible to be true. Its thrilling sonic textures — hailed by critics and fans alike as a thinking-person’s dance music, some sort of hybrid between

Radiohead and Daft Punk — caused an instant sensation when the band formed in Brooklyn in 2002. The group became rock royalty with the stellar This Is Happening in 2010. The pitfalls of success soon came crashing down, and a reportedly

amicable breakup was celebrated with a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in April 2011. (Online conspiracy theories abound that the break-up was a stunt to sell out the Garden, which the band denies.) Yet recent interviews suggest frontman James Murphy, a selfprofessed control freak, came to loathe hits such as “All My Friends” as contrived and poppy and it was his decision to pull the plug on LCD Soundsystem. But reportedly, sage advice from the late David Bowie caused Murphy to think again, and LCD Soundsystem took the stage a few times in 2016 to headline major music festivals including Bonnaroo and Coachella. LCD Soundsystem arrives in New Orleans triumphant upon rave reviews of its September release, American Dream, and with a patented atmospheric, euphoric live show sure to delight fans old and new alike. LCD Soundsystem also performs at the Orpheum Theater at 11 p.m. Saturday. — FRANK ETHERIDGE

KENDRICK LAMAR CONSIDERING THAT MICHAEL JACKSON forever will be the King

of Pop, can we just go ahead and coronate Kendrick Lamar as the King of Hip-Hop? In seven years, the kid from Compton built a buzz on his deft blend of thought-provoking lyrics, pitch-perfect flow and sweet beats, and crafted a series of albums that have propelled him to megastardom — enabling him to hobnob with former President Barack Obama and Jay-Z. No matter the Grammy

Awards collected, Lamar’s jazzy, genre-bending To Pimp a Butterfly was the album of 2015. He dropped the follow-up in April with the fierce DAMN.. Fans shouldn’t worry about his creative well running dry any time soon — last month, Lamar dropped “New Freezer,” a collaboration with Rich the Kid. Beyond all of his studio mastery, on stage, Lamar puts on a jaw-dropping, hip-shaking show that pushes his talent over the top. — FRANK ETHERIDGE

RL GRIME

ELECTRONIC DANCE ARTIST RL GRIME has teased only a few songs from his upcoming album NOVA, his first full-length release following his buzz-building 2014 debut Void, mirroring the dramatic tension and release on his gritty, cinematic tracks. Henry Alfred Steinway’s alien visions are full of goosebump textures and mammoth beat drops, embracing drum and bass, deep club and house music, all warped by his sci-fi palette. NOVA single “Era” barks a distorted horn riff through its chorus before it twists into a frenzied house track, and “Reims” is a dramatic military march poured into a cosmic funnel. R&B artist Miguel (who also performs at Voodoo this year) adds necessary human drama and raw vocal power to “Stay For It,” with the singer competing with RL Grime’s thunderous, planet-crashing keystrokes. — ALEX WOODWARD

WHITNEY MADE A BIG SPLASH in 2016 with its debut Light on the Lake

(Secretly Canadian), an album marked by drummer Julien Ehrlich’s soul-tinged falsetto vocals over a sometimes melancholy, lilting indie folk vibe on songs like “No Woman” and “Polly.” There also are violin flourishes and energized jolts when the whole septet kicks in. Ehrlich (formerly of Unknown Mortal Orchestra) and guitarist Max Kakacek had written much of the material during a hard winter in Chicago, after their previous band, Smith Westerns, broke up in 2014. After touring heavily in support of Light on the Lake, the band is going back to the well. On Nov. 10, it releases an album comprised of the early demo recordings for Light along with a cover of “Southern Nights,” by one of their favorites, Allen Toussaint. —WILL COVIELLO

He’s appeared on The Muppets for a drum-off with Animal. Yet the dude abides. Grohl has lent his voice

As the opener for Hurray for the Riff Raff in May, Gallo showcased the MC5 urgency and full-body exorcisms on 2017’s Heavy Meta, which follows his work with roots-rock outfit Toy Soldiers, sounding docile in comparison to the frenetic garage punk and grimy street poetry on his version of a “Dylan goes electric” or a 21st-century PHOTO BY TOM BEJGOWICZ John Cooper Clarke.

ON HIS 2017 DEBUT Good For You, XXL

Freshman MC Adam Daniel (hailing from hip-hop cornerstone … Portland, Oregon) alternates from sleepy slurs to excitable bursts of earnest energy, sometimes in the same breath. As Aminé, Daniel uses his charming, self-aware sense of humor to wrestle with his thoughts — a goofy line showing love for his partner (“great scenes might be great but I love your bloopers” on megahit “Caroline”), a diss disguised as a toast (“This is dedicated to my ex-lovers / Hope that you hear this / never find another” over a Rugratsinspired sample on “Wedding Crashers”). Album centerpiece “Sundays” is the after-party crash, dragged through a woozy snare hit and blurry piano riff, but he can’t help firing off a few one-liners with a wink through his pain (and yes, this rhymes): “F—k a Monday / I love my Sundays / I head to Costco and get a smoothie.” — ALEX WOODWARD

THE KILLERS DO THE KILLERS have something to prove at their set closing Voodoo? The core of the Las Vegasbred quartet formed in 2001 and hit an early peak with the 2006 release Sam’s Town,, an album full of pop-rock singalongs that enjoyed a 42-week run on Billboard’s Top 200 chart. The band had enough material (including fan favorites “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me”) to merit a greatest-hits release, Direct Hits (2013), just a decade into the band’s career. Yet The Killers’ set at Lollapalooza this summer was widely panned as a snore-fest, with particular disdain aimed at “The Man,” (deemed “flaccid” by Consequence of Sound), the new single from the band’s fifth studio album, Wonderful Wonderful. The band stands by its September release, calling the effort “the closest thing we’ve done to Sam’s Town” in multiple interviews. Yet, how this plays out live will be a curious sight to see, as The Killers arrive at Voodoo at half-staff: both bassist Mark Stoermer and guitarist Dave Keuning have announced breaks from touring with the band (both contributed to Wonderful Wonderful). Frontman Brandon Flowers and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. will be joined by hired guns Ted Sablay (guitar) and Jake Blanton (bass).

MIGUEL

MIGUEL’S ACCLAIMED 2015 ALBUM Wildheart

— nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album, with single “Coffee” getting a nomination for Best R&B Song — feels especially relevant in 2017, from the opening sirens warning of “police in pursuit” through its reflection of Hollywood shams and sex as both pleasure and pain through sharp, wiry rock guitar and bedroom-tested R&B. Its exploration of sex and sexuality (and consent) is romantic, celebratory, and, often, tragic, either as unfulfilled desires realized as mere wishes or a source of judgment. But Miguel frames it explicitly after those sirens ring out: “Don’t ever sell yourself short for acceptance / Accept the new, don’t linger on the past / Believe yourself, trust your intuition / You’re here for a reason, you know.” — ALEX WOODWARD

REVIEW

The Florida Project

THOUGH PAST 40 AND ON HIS FOURTH FEATURE FILM AT THE TIME, • Opens Oct. 27 director Sean Baker seemed to burst • Directed by Sean Baker onto the indie scene in 2015 with his vividly imagined Tangerine. It quickly • Starring Willem Dafoe, became known as “the iPhone movie” Brooklynn Kimberly Prince because it was the first major film shot entirely on that device. and Bria Vinaite Tangerine’s raucous tale of transgender prostitutes on the mean streets COURTESY A24 of Hollywood struck a chord with audiences, but not for its technical achievements. The heightened reality of the film’s visuals served to frame well-drawn characters and a series of authentic, affecting performances from first-time actors. For all its successes, Tangerine now seems a warmup for Baker’s far more accomplished The Florida Project. The director once again tells a story from the margins of society, where resilient characters confront epic struggles one day at a time. But The Florida Project transforms what might have seemed too-familiar territory by telling its story from the perspective of a precocious and uniquely spirited 6-year-old girl. That premise has already invited comparison to Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, but unlike Zeitlin’s film, The Florida Project is no fable. Grounded in the harsh realities endured by real-life “hidden homeless,” The Florida Project’s main characters are frozen out of the rental housing market and live week to week in cheap motels along Highway 192. The terrible irony at the heart of the film is that these candy-colored, mid-century motels exist in the shadow of Disney World, a global focus of childhood fantasies but a distant dream for the impoverished, motel-bound kids of The Florida Project. That description might make Baker’s film sound like a lecture on social justice in a world still reeling from the financial crisis of 2008, but nothing could be further from the truth. The kids depicted in The Florida Project perceive their seedy surroundings as an endless source of wonder, mystery and fun, in sharp contrast to the daily struggles of their mostly single parents. The tension between these two worlds drives The Florida Project and gives it a magic all its own. At the center of the story is Moonee (Brooklynn Kimberly Prince) and her pals Jancey (Valeria Cotto) and Scooty (Christopher Rivera), rambunctious kids spending their summer scamming ice cream cones from tourists, making fun of topless sunbathers and exploring abandoned condo developments. Moonee’s defiant mom Halley (Bria Vinaite) is an unemployed exotic dancer finding increasingly dangerous ways to support her child. Motel manager Bobby (Willem Dafoe) does his best to keep the ever-growing chaos at bay. Making all of this work is Baker’s knack for mixing first-time actors with seasoned professionals to extraordinary effect. As the pint-sized Mooney, Prince is nothing short of astounding — it would not be surprising if she became the youngest Oscar nominee of all time (a designation currently held by Beasts’ Quvenzhane Wallis). First-time actor Vinaite (whom Baker found on Instagram) keeps up with Prince every step of the way. As Bobby, Dafoe (Platoon, Wild at Heart) delivers a career-topping performance and reveals the simple power of decency and compassion when circumstances are most dire. Remarkably, the lack of a traditional story arc only seems to benefit Baker’s impressionistic film. The director traded his iPhone for a 35mm film camera, but the results are not so different — a rare glimpse of a largely unseen world and an artful reflection of our own. — KEN KORMAN

“speak a language that only my dog understands.” Later, exasperated by her literary exertions, she said “... all that’s left for me is to bark at God.” Today, many people caught between their cellphones and the histrionic 24-hour media cycle feel equally exasperated by the tsunami of verbal and visual noise erupting around them. For celebrated photographer and longtime French Quarter resident Josephine Sacabo, a recent rash of graffiti on the historic district’s walls posed a disruptive contrast to the serene streets around her other home, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where traditional religious images called retablos set the tone. She wondered if, and how, those contrasting modes of urban expression — one ephemeral, the other eternal — could be reconciled. This elaborate photogravure montage series, Barking at God, is the result of her investigation.

I have no final judgment to make on the subjects. Each expression is presented with its consolations and its cruelties. They are what they are and I hope the viewer finds something in them that speaks to what they themselves may have experienced, needed or felt.” — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT
