Part II: “Angels in America” NT Live Presents Aug. 20 at The Douglass
By Larry Fennelly
Theater fans who saw Part I of “Angels in America” will undoubtedly want to see Part II, set to arrive at the Douglass Theatre on Aug. 20, thanks to the NT Live series, transmitted in HD from Britain’s National Theatre, the source of some of the world’s finest theater. Part I of this epic work (which, by the way, won the Pulitzer Prize) was titled “Millennium Approaches.” Part II, “Perestroika,” picks up only a couple of months later and follows the characters some five years into the future. While it is useful to have seen Part I first, both parts of “Angels” can be enjoyed independently. “Enjoyed,” of course, may not be the best choice of words. Although the fate of some of the characters is painful to behold, the end of Part II – like the end of Part I – can be seen as empowering and even uplifting. In Part I we were introduced to two couples, one gay and one straight. Louis Ironson, a gay Jew learns that his lover, Prior Walker, has AIDS. Working in the same law office as
Ironson is a closeted gay Mormon, Joe Pitt, who is married to Harper, a woman with multiple issues. Tying this group together is Roy Cohn, who also has AIDS, and his night nurse, Belize. When “Perestroika” (a Russian term meaning restructuring) begins, Walter has received a surprising message from God: mankind’s progress is causing problems in Heaven and thus God has abandoned Heaven. This second part is rife with angelic revelations, visions and spiritualism. All of the characters are interacting, some in denial, some with acceptance, some embroiled in violence. Cohn, the lawyer who prosecuted Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, is symbolically forgiven by Ethel Rosenberg. The Epilogue takes place at the Fountain of Bethesda, named after a healing pool in Jerusalem where Jesus performed one of his miracles. The message is clear: the progress will continue.

Sofrito: an aromatic, savory blend of herbs and spices that’s the cornerstone of many Latin dishes – it’s endlessly customizable, usually beginning with onions, garlic, oil, and peppers, and each sofrito is unique to the individual cook who prepares it. Sofrito Fusion, if you haven’t yet had the pleasure of experiencing it, is a much beloved local food truck that specializes in Southern-South American (specifically Venezuelan) fusion delights – they offer empanadas in various flavors, tequenos (cheese sticks), a Latin Dog – a bacon-wrapped hot dog with toppings such as cabbage or potato sticks – and the amazing patacon, a sandwich of shredded chicken, crunchy cabbage, homemade green sauce, and cheese, sandwiched between two fried plantains. It’s outstanding food, sold at a reasonable price by some truly kind and grateful local folks. Jada Smith grew up in the middle Georgia area, but left the area to travel awhile in her late teens/early 20s. She began a career at an insurance company in her mid-twenties, but soon found corporate America wasn’t a great fit for her – she knew she wanted to be her own boss in some capacity, but she wasn’t sure quite how – until the inspiration for Sofrito Fusion hit her. She’d seen Chino Bandido, a popular Phoenix Mexican-Chinese fusion restaurant, featured on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives, and that, combined with a Texas native-owned food truck she’d seen in Hawaii that served up Hawaiian food with a Southwest slant, kept recurring in her mind. Jada’s husband is from Venezuela, and the two of them have a deep love for one another’s cultures, so she decided that creating a foodie fusion of Southern and Venezuelan cuisine would be the perfect way to personalize her new business. Sofrito Fusion opened for business in March of 2016, and in the year-plus that they’ve been serving food, they’ve built a loyal following of customers – “We love getting to know our customers,” Jada says, “and their kids and their dogs.” Dogs eat and drink free, by the way – and it’s just that kind of 08 AUGUST 4 - 18, 2017

Sofrito Food Truck Where the South meets South America
friendly, welcoming attitude that’s helped Sofrito Fusion become as popular as it has. Well, that, plus the delicious food. So where can you get your hands on some of this goodness? Every Friday, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm, from April through October for Food Truck Fridays at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins– “This is one of our favorite spots,” Jada says. “We love the Museum and its staff, and the opportunity to feed and say thank you to our military men and women.” And just last week, Sofrito Fusion started serving lunch on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:30-1:30 at their permanent location in the International Square Shopping Center on Watson Blvd. in Warner Robins. “We wanted to give customers more opportunities to experience Sofrito,” says Jada. But don’t worry, they’re still mobile, serving up goodness at festivals, parties, and even weddings all over the midstate. The best way to keep up with where they’ll be is to follow their social media – check for them by name on Facebook, on Twitter as @SofritoFusionFT, and on Instagram as @SofritoFusion – and you can always email them at Sofritofusion@ hotmail.com with any questions. The most challenging part of owning a food truck? “It’s so much more than just food,” Jada says. “You have to be part mechanic, part engineer, and part marketing director, because there are so many moving parts – literally – in this business that you have to be prepared for anything.” If Sofrito Fusion’s stellar first year is any indication, Jada has done an impeccable job of balancing all the different areas of food truck ownership without skimping at all on the most important two – great food and great service, with a side order of thankfulness and appreciation. “We’d like to thank the community for embracing us the way they have,” says Jada. “We love sharing our cultures and our love for food with middle Georgia.”

#THAT’S SO MACON
Visiting a new city can be exhilarating. New scenery stimulates senses that may have become dormant in the repetition of daily routines. The tongue never grows tired of trying new things. The eyes open as wide as they can to see all that there is to see. The nose knows no limits—a bakery with its door propped open, an old theatre with slightly musty seats. Going on vacation has endless possibilities, but only for a week. Being a tourist is limited because going some place eventually means leaving it too. So you make an air-tight itinerary and begin marching through the city, crossing one big item off after another. In the midst of all this marching and crossing it is easy to
miss what a city is actually all about. It is possible to see a city without really seeing it at all. Being a local tourist, however, means so much more than two additional syllables. When you are an active citizen in a city that you love (and occasionally hate, roll your eyes at, or tease like the embarrassing relative it is), your heart strings tend to get wrapped up and tied to some of the strangest things. For instance, if you haven’t paused at the entrance of Lawrence Mayer Florist to pet, pat, or pose for a photo with one of the purple lions, I would question how long you have actually lived here in town. Maybe you are not into PDA with orchid-colored animal statues, but have felt a tinge of pride, or perhaps just a smirk, when passing the regal pair—well, #ThatsSoMacon of you. You might also feel a gentle tug every time you drive down Cherry Street, gliding over the pink line dividing the two lanes, and then pull into a parking space with the same. Big, pink blooms fading into the asphalt are also there to remind you of the past International Cherry Blossom Festival and future festivals to come. This annual event is also known as The Pinkest Party on Earth, and #ThatsSoMacon. Speaking of pink, there is perhaps nothing more inherently “Macon” than craving that little red hotdog with chili on top. Nu-Way Weiners might seem wrong, but it feels so right. If you are a local tourist here in Macon, then you have probably already mourned the site of the original building, which burned down a few years back. Signs promising to rebuild bring hope, taking that seared heart string and securing another knot. In fact, if you have ever stared into an empty storefront that once housed your favorite spot, shaking your fists at the sky, gritting your teeth, and wondering “Why?”—I hate to say it, but #ThatsSoMacon. If you pass by the
building on Washington Avenue, once home to Joshua Cup, you can’t help but remember the sanctuary of sofas, good company, and hot coffee. The same can be said about the absence of Treasure Vintage on Cotton Avenue. The quirky, little vintage shop was a treasure, indeed! “Tis better to have loved and lost,” Tennyson wrote, “than never to have loved at all.” Not all is lost, though. New businesses are constantly bringing something different to Macon, and a local tourist celebrates each and every one. A thrift store that supports the homeless community here in town? That’s WEAR and #ThatsSoMacon. A brewery [Macon] puns like nobody’s business, where you can hear a grown man lean over the counter and order a “Macon Love” without a hint of humor on his face? That’s Macon Beer Company and #ThatsSoMacon. And there are several old, steadfast businesses still standing on solid ground. What’s more euphoric than snagging a table at one of downtown’s most coveted outdoor patios, and then immediately ordering a Bloody Mary to add a side of salt to your smugness? That’s the Rookery and #ThatsSoMacon. Is there anywhere more sacred than the book shop with black and white checkered floors, green shelves, and feline escorts? That’s the Golden Bough and #ThatsSoMacon. Despite what every “Top Ten” list might tell you, the real beauty and brilliance of our big little city is in the details. It’s in the concrete slide on Coleman Hill; it’s in the dreamy little patio behind BJ’s Billiards; it’s in the constant noise and activity surrounding the fountain on Third Street. Macon is a one-of-kind city that is still growing and expanding every day. But here’s to hoping that some things never change!

HAPPENINGS, LOCALS & REGIONAL INSIGHTS
NATIVE/NEW Meet Jenny Lawson From Butler, GA Occupation: Stylist, Signature Salon
By Traci Burns California surfer girl, punk, beatnik, flapper, hippie – what do these have in common? They’re all easily recognizable icons of countercultural hipness, and they’ve all, at one time or another, served as muse for Jenny Lawson’s ever-evolving, always discerning personal style. Jenny had a happy, easy country childhood in the small town of Butler, Georgia, with doting parents who raised her on classic rock and Motown and an older brother who got her into grunge, but by the time she was a teenager, she knew she needed to explore outside the small-town boundaries. She lived in Warner Robins for awhile, then moved to Atlanta, but it was “expensive and busy and lonely,” says Jenny, “and I couldn’t fit into any scene.” When she came to Macon in 2010 only knowing a handful of people, she felt welcome immediately – it felt like home. She fell right in with Macon Noise, who at the time were “a hivemind unit of artists, musicians, and Macon hipsters coming to the Golden Bough on Tuesday nights” (or a house party, or an old loft, or Grant’s or Roasted) to see whatever band turned up to play. Inspired by all the new, experimental music she was hearing – “there was sludge metal, harsh noise, and everything in between” – Jenny wrote a show review for one of the zines being published, then started designing flyers for lots of the performances, then, after joining in at some impromptu jams and discovering she had a talent for keeping time, she wound up forming and playing drums in the new wave/ punk band Moontrash, along with Meghan 12 AUGUST 4 - 18, 2017
Dowlen and Esther Lee Altman. “Seven years has passed, and lots of things have changed and people come and go,” Jenny says, “but there’s still this same spirit when you go to a show at Fresh Produce Records – that scene evolved from all of us being young punks on Cotton Avenue having weekly shows during the quieter days of downtown, and it’ll always be special to me.” Music is still an integral part of her life – right now, she’s heavily into The Beatles, especially George and Paul’s solo careers – during her more punk rock days she wrote them off as overrated, but she’s making up for lost time now. Other current favorites: Kyle Craft, Father John Misty, The Lemon Twigs, and Foxygen. Love of music and involvement in the downtown Macon scene also landed Jenny a cool and unexpected accolade – Willie D., owner of Fresh Produce Records, showed his pal R. Stevie Moore, prolific and iconic lo-fi legend, some footage of Moontrash, which he dug, and he and Jenny have been friends ever since. Last year, when R. Stevie put out a limited edition re-release of his collaboration with Ariel Pink, he asked to use one of Jenny’s paintings, “Birth of Pisces,” for the cover art. “The old cover was a naked woman in a cemetery,” says Jenny, “so I guess he wanted something more friendly and bright! I was honored.” (Another serendipitous musical connection: Jenny first met her fiancé Cody Kurth, drummer for African Americana, at an Ariel Pink show.) Creativity in all available forms has always been natural and necessary for Jenny; by age 17, she knew she wanted to be a
hairstylist – it was a perfect fit, combining her love of fashion and art with the innate skills she’d honed by practicing on her own hair, DIY-style. She’s been licensed since 2008, and she’s spent the past two years at Signature Salon – she currently works at the downtown location, which just celebrated its first anniversary. Jenny’s a cutting specialist; she’s genius at fixing bad haircuts, and she loves doing pixie cuts, bobs, bangs, and men’s cuts. She’s also renowned for her skills in doing bright fashion colors. Any client who spends time in her chair will leave happy and feeling good about themselves, thanks to her talent and artistry – and that’s what makes her happiest, too. And you can count on Jenny to know what’s trending in the world of hair – right now, lots of texture is coming back in style. “Think of the shag or mullet of the 70s, but very much updated,” she says. “Low-maintenance air-dried hair is also trending, and long, soft, tapered Brigitte Bardot-inspired bangs are popular.” “The teamwork [at Signature Salon] is incredible,” Jenny says. “The system that’s in place is set up to help us succeed – we have Redken educators come in seasonally for classes, and we have monthly meetings and one-on-one checkups to keep us motivated. It’s so helpful.” And getting to spend every day in her beloved downtown Macon is just another bonus – “I’ve always lived downtown since moving here, and seeing it grow and become busy is so exciting. Our clients love people-watching through the windows,” Jenny says, “and I absolutely love seeing my friends walk by on the sidewalk and wave at me while I’m working!”
11 Things You Didn’t Know about Jenny Lawson 1. I have two webbed toes on my left foot.
2. Keith Morris of Black Flag/Circle Jerks/OFF! told me happy birthday from the Drunken Unicorn stage once.
3. I drew my own clothing designs and made little magazines from ages 8-13, based off of Delia’s catalogues I would get.
4. I was a drama kid, I loved acting workshops and my school’s 1-act plays growing up.
5. My favorite hangover food is a Whopper with cheese.
6. In first grade I slipped in the mud and had

From Jan. 1 to June 2 of this year, Bibb County patrol officers on duty have responded to 61,938 911 calls...
A rash of brazen armed robberies across Macon this summer continues to strain county resources while putting local retailers and shoppers on edge | by Stacey Norwood
Officer Dominique Williams is talking a mile a minute from behind the wheel of her county-issued patrol car. I’ve volunteered for a media “ride-along” and the Macon-Bibb deputy I’ve been paired with is on a serious roll, scarcely stopping to pause between a chirpy string of run-on sentences that are beginning to pile on top of each other like a paragraph in a Faulkner novel. We are halfway down Vineville Avenue in the thick of Friday afternoon traffic before I finally wedge my way into the deputy’s verbal onslaught. “Girl,” I tell her, “take a breath in there somewhere.” This makes her giggle and look over at me in the passenger seat, “I talk a lot when I’m nervous,” she says, smiling. “I can tell,” I respond. And just like that, the ice between us is broken, and my 3-hour tour into a day in the life of a Macon law enforcement officer truly commences. Wearing nary a stitch of make-up, with her hair pulled back into a tight twist, Officer Williams could almost pass for a teenager. But a person would be foolish to dismiss her so lightly. This “lady cop” is also a Marine-tested war veteran, a thrill-seeking motorcycle enthusiast and a designated training officer for newbies on the force. More than that, the patrolwoman is also a certified hero. In less than a week from our patrol run, Officer Williams is scheduled to be honored for helping to save a man from hanging himself at his home on Napier Avenue. With the assistance of an officer she was training, Deputy Williams hefted the man out of a self-made noose and ultimately into an ambulance. The man was over 6 feet tall and tipped the scales at 210 pounds, she tells me. She is 5’5 and weighs in at a buck-38 wringing wet. But make no mistake, Dominique Williams is down to protect and serve, and she is not afraid to tussle if a tussle is called for, she says. I have no doubt that she means it too. As an officer working out of the 3rd Precinct, located on Pio Nono Avenue, Officer Williams’ territory spans Zones B and C, which includes some of the most poverty-stricken and crime-plagued neighborhoods in the 14 AUGUST 4 - 18, 2017
city. Less than hour into our ride-along, we’ve covered countless blocks, and while still chatty, the deputy’s eyes continuously scan the perimeter, looking for a face she doesn’t recognize or anything at all out of the ordinary. A couple of times when we pass through “hot spots” Dominique loosens her seatbelt “just in case.” More than once, she’s had to jump out of the car and chase suspects navigating the well-worn pathways between abandoned lots and derelict houses that serve as makeshift escape routes for ne’er do wells making their getaways on foot. “Don’t make me chase you,” she says, laughing. “Because I can run.” On the other hand, this seasoned officer is also a newlywed with a handsome fireman husband and a beautiful little girl waiting at home for her at the end of every shift. Now that Dominique’s daughter is getting old enough to understand the dangers law enforcement officers can face, her babygirl’s occasional tears, too-tight tight hugs and pleas of “don’t go” before a shift weigh heavily on her, she confides. Now more than ever, safety is an imperative.
Long Hot Summer
Ironically, one of the hot spots we cruise through on our patrol is the off-street side entrance of a Dollar General store on Napier Avenue. Officer Williams has snagged a couple of shoplifters hightailing it across the store’s potholed parking to cross the short cutaway street running perpendicular to Napier. No fleet-of-foot candy filchers or potato chip pinchers are to be spotted on this steamy June afternoon. In exactly one month to the day, however, that will change, and the Dollar General store will become the next headline-maker in a rash of commercial armed robberies hitting Macon businesses so fast and furious, the store names and street addresses are beginning to run together. The Napier Avenue Dollar General robbery occurred the day before the
July 4th holiday, during the dayshift, at 3 in the afternoon. “It was reported that the suspect entered the store displaying a silver handgun. The suspect demanded the money from the store’s cash register. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash from the store and fled the store on foot. No one was injured during the incident,” reads a Sheriff ’s Department news release. “The suspect was described as a dark skinned, black male in his early twenties. He appeared to be 5’7 or 5’10 in height and was wearing a blue hoodie, blue jeans white shoes, black gloves and a black mask.” Those two paragraphs outlining the crime description are practically cut-and-paste similar to more than two dozen other robbery press releases issued in this memorably long hot summer in Macon. As of July 27, the Violent Crimes unit of the Macon-Bibb Sheriff ’s Department has reported a total of 26 commercial armed robberies since June 1, with 16 of them in July alone, and often happening only a day or even just hours apart. And there appears to be little rhyme or reason. According to Department Spokesman Lt. Randy Gonzalez, the robberies are fairly spread out, occurring in three of the city’s five patrol precincts. So far, only Districts 1 and 5 have been spared. Gas stations, convenience stores, retails stores, an auto supplies store and a restaurant – all have been hit, and many in broad daylight, as early as 9:30 in the morning. And it’s not just the businesses themselves that have been targeted. In one dizzying spree on Saturday, July 15, a gunman robbed a Macon woman in the Wal-Mart parking lot on Zebulon Road at 3:30 p.m. before fleeing in a red vehicle. Just 4 hours later a man matching the same description in a red car robbed a woman in the parking lot of the Kroger Shopping Center at 4321 Hartley Bridge Rd. By 8 p.m. or so – and still more than 30 minutes before the sun actually set for the day – a man believed to be the same gunman allegedly walked into Advance Auto CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Circle K robbery suspect
Suspect roaming a sporting goods gun case
General Dollar robbery suspect
at 3385 Pio Nono Ave and demanded money from the clerk before making his getaway. Armed with security camera photos from the Advance Auto robbery, investigators sought the public’s help identifying the alleged stick-up man, and by July 19th, they had made a suspect in handcuffs. “The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Antonio DeWayne Ivey Sr. of Macon, was arrested at an address on West Marion Road at around 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Ivey was found hiding in a bedroom when arrested,” reads a department news release. “He was transported to the Bibb County Sheriff ’s Criminal Investigative Division for questioning. After being questioned he was taken to the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center and booked on 3 counts of Armed Robbery and a Probation Violation.” So far, he’s the only suspect in any of the summer’s armed robbery cases behind bars, a fact that isn’t lost on local retailers. Lucky China Restaurant, located on Mercer University Drive, isn’t busy at 1 in the afternoon when I try and speak with the woman and a man who appears to be her husband who work there. The only other people in the place are their two young children, a girl and a boy, sitting at a table by the front cash register. Speaking in broken English, the woman asks me to please not mention details of the robbery that happened on July 18, just before closing at 9:30 p.m. “It bad for business,” she tells me. Next door, in a newly opened United Food convenience store, Alex Az, says after having worked in the business in a “rough section” of Atlanta for 17 years, Macon feels relative safe by comparison. Be that as it may, the first thing I see when I walk in is a security camera pointed directly at the front door, as well as the framing for a bullet-proof glass cage being installed around the cash register island to the left of the store’s entrance. The friendly manager admits the recent robbery at the neighboring business has been unsettling and, in his experience, unusual in that it occurred “so early, while a lot of people of people were out and walking around.”
on Brookhaven Road. A woman identifying herself as an assistant manager at the Dollar General on Napier Avenue stares awkwardly at the floor while being asked to discuss what happened there earlier in the month. She finally makes eye contact just long enough to tell me she’s been directed by her district manager to keep mum with the media. She is surrounded by three other employees, all stocking shelves, all intently focused on the task at hand. It’s a little before 2 p.m., and the store is full of customers filling their carts with back-to-school supplies, household sundries, and the kinds of perishable packaged foods that have caused the Dollar General chain - which operates more than 13,000 stores in 44 states - to become infamously associated with so-called “food deserts” in underserved communities across America. Across town, on Houston Avenue, I pull into the Dollar General store parking lot, which I notice is located next door to Charles Bruce Elementary School. Like the Napier Avenue store, this location was robbed at about 3 in the afternoon, in this case by a pair of bandana-wearing gunmen who were last seen running across the street towards Colonial Terrace Apartments after they forced employees to empty the cash register. A manager flatly but politely tells me “We can’t talk to no one in the media about Dollar General business. We’ve been told we will lose our jobs.” One block away, a Family Dollar employee behind the counter at the cash register immediately turns to the safe behind him and punches in some numbers the instant the word “robbery” comes out of my mouth. Though this store has not included in the sheaf of media releases flurrying across the Macon wires this summer, his eyes move upwards and to the left towards what appears to be a camera and he pointedly tells me that he can’t speak with me while he is either on the clock or the premises. Outside in the parking lot, a Mayfield Dairy delivery man whose route includes multiple discount retail stores in the Macon area says, “I’ve heard a lot of customers talking about the robberies happening in the dollar stores lately; I mean a lot. I just stand back and I can’t help but hear their conversations – people are saying they’re getting too afraid to shop.” Just a few miles away, and just before 3 p.m. – what seems to be the witching hour for local Dollar General stores this summer - a clerk agrees to talk to me on the condition I won’t use her name. She doesn’t mince words. “I’m terrified. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before it happens here in this store,” she says. “It’s a shame when you have to come to work every day and be afraid for your life just to make a paycheck.” As she rings up the few items I am purchasing while we chat, I look around the front end of the store and it’s
clear she is the only employee behind the counter. Nor had I spotted anyone stocking shelves or elsewhere in the store while in search of the candles, sugar-free sodas and dog treats I walk out with after paying. So far, calls to Dollar General’s corporate headquarters in Goodlettsville, TN for comment on the Macon robberies remain unreturned.
Another day, another dollar store
Along with the fact that the robberies are relatively spread out geographically and many of the gunmen are clearly unafraid of being spotted during daylight hours, another fact that stands out about the string of brazen robberies is how many local discount retail stores have been targeted. More than 16 local dollar store robberies have been reported this year, 13 of them over the summer. In the past 30 days, along with the Napier Avenue store, Dollar General locations on Mt. Pleasant Church Road and Houston Avenue have been robbed. A Family Dollar on Rocky Creek was also robbed, and so was a Dollar Tree 18 AUGUST 4 - 18, 2017
We Don’t Give Numbers
Unlike the throngs of Macon beachcombers making beelines for the sands of St. Simons’ this summer, violent crime and the law officers trying to put a dent in it have yet to get a vacation. Along with the blitzkrieg of armed robberies, detectives in the Violent Crimes unit also responded to a spate of aggravated assaults, shootings, and a homicide in July. Patrol officers like Dominique, who serve as their eyes and ears – and the first line of defense in crime deterrence – have been stretched equally thin. Lt. Gonzalez declines to share the department’s total number of patrol officers, saying “We don’t like to give out specific numbers because we don’t the bad guys to know exactly how many folks we have.” He conceded that the Sheriff ’s Department is “short” on patrolmen and women, adding “we have openings.” Despite the shortage, from Jan. 1 to June 2 of this year, patrol officers on duty have responded to 61,938 911 calls Deputy Williams tells me. She pulls the number from the running tally on the laptop mounted in the front of her car between the drivers’ and passenger seats. She has responded to at least two of those during our ride-along. One call is a medical emergency in a room number that doesn’t seem to exist at a run-down extended stay hotel on Riverside Drive and the other comes across the radio as a possible suicide risk for a man who “can’t stop hearing screaming in his head.” As it turns out, the head-screamer isn’t home when Dominique and several back-up officers knock on his door and the suicide threat appears to have been a sort of a shady half-truth, likely in hopes officers would arrest the guy on a parole violation. The apparent motive? There’s a CrimeStoppers reward for his incarceration and conviction. Such calls are commonplace, the deputy tells me, along with a multitude of “emergencies” from Macon citizens with snakes in their homes requesting officer assistance in removal of the offending reptiles. Should an armed robbery or other violent crime in progress take place, of course, those calls are given precedence over snakes and head-screamers. Nevertheless, every 911 call must be responded to, and law enforcement never really knows what or who will greet them once they arrive on the scene.

MULBERRY MARKET OFFERS FRESH FOR LESS The Mulberry Market, a focused initiative of Community Health Works (CHW), is pleased to introduce Georgia Fresh for Less, a new name for a program that has already incentivized thousands of Georgians to spend $2 million on local produce since the program’s inception in 2009. The successful partnership between the Mulberry Market and Wholesome Wave Georgia, has allowed shoppers to double their SNAP (food stamsp, WIC) dollars since the Mulberry Market opened. The mission of CHW to improve health outcomes for Central Georgians is put into action each week at the Mulberry Market. SNAP recipients have their benefits matched dollar for dollar, up to $50, every week. “We feel that the Georgia Fresh for Less program creates a level playing field at the market by making it affordable for all shoppers,” said Lacey Resch, market manager. “When they see how far their dollars go, and that the food is so much fresher than what they could get at the supermarket, they tell us that they are encouraged to include more produce in their diet. We believe everyone should have access to fresh, affordable food.” To participate in Georgia Fresh for Less at the Mulberry Market, shoppers who receive food assistance benefits visit the information table and swipe their EBT cards with a market staffer in exchange for tokens. Shoppers receive tokens worth twice as much as the amount of money they debited on their card. For example, a $10 swipe equals $20 in tokens to spend on market items. In partnership with Georgia Fresh for Less, the Mulberry Market helps to bring customers to the farmer’s market who may not have gone otherwise. In fact, since 2013 the market has contributed $701,800 total to the local economy, and $96,000 of that directly from the Georgia Fresh for Less program!

HOWL
HOWL, one of the newest bands in Macon, is a raw, sometimes brazenly sexual rock and roll band that gets your feet moving and your palms a little sweaty. Denny Hanson and Chris Nylund have not only created music to easily sink your fangs into, but have done so with a more simplistic approach as a two piece, crafting songs with raw emotion and alluring synchronicity. I spoke with them about their new musical project HOWL, Allen Ginsberg, and guilty pleasure songs.
You are both in other bands, what compelled you to take on another musical endeavor? Chris: It happened organically. We felt like playing one afternoon and didn’t have practice with any of the other projects, so we got in the room and the nuts and bolts of four or five songs simply fell out of the ether. At that moment we decided we needed a name and that we needed to pursue it. We both play in several other projects, but each serves its own purpose. My role in Widow Pills is different from my role in Hank Vegas, and all of those differ from the role I play in songs that I write and perform by myself. I would also argue that outside of the obvious sonic differences of each project, each one has its own unique focus when it comes to song topics and how they are interpreted. It may sound crazy to some people to have three or four projects going on, but I feel like that’s pretty normal for creative people. We all need an outlet and it’s not always the same one. Tell me about the dynamics of HOWL being a two piece as far as writing music. Denny: Usually when we write a song, somebody has a riff they bring to the table. What happens next is what I like to call transcendence. Somehow, someway, without ever saying a word, we know where the other wants to go and 2 to 6 minutes later we have a song, usually in full arrangement. Chris: The beauty is in the simplicity of our arrangement. Outside of the obvious convenience of being able to fit ourselves and our gear into a station wagon for a gig, the fact that we have drums, a single guitar and two vocals gives us a framework to work within. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed by too many choices, be it in music or trying to figure out which mustard to buy at the store, it’s quite refreshing to limit your choices in a project. Some of the best records were cut with just a few channels. Just because
you can have more and do more doesn’t mean that’s always the right answer. Less can be, and often should be, more. Does your band name have any reference to Allen Ginsberg? Denny: It does, for sure, both the poem itself and in reference to the idea of the smoke filled, jazz soaked, sexual Beat revolution we’re trying to carry on the tradition of. Also, sex. Chris: First of all, we spell it all caps because we’re fancy. It’s of course a head nod to Ginsberg and the beats and the traditions and proclivities therein. To me, it’s also about raw emotion. A howl can be celebratory, but it can also be full of pain. Any way it shakes out, a howl is full of passion; messy, uninhibited passion.
JUST TAPD
There is something wild and even quite carnal about your songs. Was the feeling something you wanted to reflect in your music initially, or something that happened organically? Denny: As it should. Music to me expresses a lot of emotion. Widow Pills and Hank Vegas are definite outlets unto themselves. The stuff I write for “nomenclature.” is typically more poetic, more metaphorical, more open to interpretation - philosophical dissonance, failed relationships, music as a form of insanity. With HOWL, I really wanted a space to express my sexual self in blunt and honest terms. The music naturally perpetuates that as well. The sound to me makes me think of a hot, sticky garage. You’re sitting on the hood of a car that’s still warm while watching the sweat gather on your crush’s brow. You can smell the salt and you begin to salivate. What is your guilty pleasure song, a song you don’t necessarily like to admit you love? Denny: I’m not sure I have any guilty pleasure songs. Like, if I love a song, I fucking love it regardless of if it’s cool or whatever. Right now, I’m loving Judy Garland’s, “The Trolley Song” from Meet Me in St. Louis, Gilbert O’Sullivan’s, “Alone Again (Naturally)” and Bob Welch’s, “Sentimental Lady” featuring Christine McVie on backup vocals. Chris: There are certainly songs that I love that the person reading this interview right now is going to judge me for. It could be, “I dig that song too! He must be great!” or “That song blows hot hairy donkey nuts. He’s an idiot!” My point: people like what they like and that’s okay.

JASON ALDEAN Originally published June 16, 2001
Aldean has had a busy year: in April he was named Entertainer of the Year for the second time in a row at the ACM Awards and has been touring extensively on his They Don’t Know Tour. Aldean got his start in the house band at the now-defunct Nashville South in Macon. This interivew was conducted in 2001 just as “Hicktown” was hitting #1. Aldean has returned to his hometown half a dozen times since striking country music platinum status, but his “Concert for the Kids” benefit on August 11th is a true testament to his character. The concert – this time featuring Aldean’s full band – benefits the Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health. Aldean raised more than half a million dollars with last year’s inaugural benefit, an acoustic solo performance. Enjoy the excerpt. Where did you graduate high school? I graduated from Windsor Academy in 1995. I read that if you weren’t going to be a professional musician, you wanted to be a baseball player. So, did you play baseball in high school? Yeah, I did. It was kinda what I always wanted to do, I thought, until I was 18-years-old, or so, and had a chance to go to college and just couldn’t hardly see going back to school for four years. And I was already in music by that time and thought that it was what I wanted to pursue. What’s your fondest memory about growing up in Macon? I guess just having my family there. Most of my family was always from Macon, so I guess the biggest thing was just having them there, all my friends, and I was born and raised there. Up until seven years ago [Macon] was all I knew, and I didn’t realize how much I was going to miss until after I was gone.
What’d you do for fun growing up here? Just stuff like most teenagers do, like went to football games and stuff. See, I was playing nightclubs in Macon when I was 14, you know, so I was playing places like the old Nashville South and places like that. I used to go to my cousin’s house a lot. He’s got a big farm in the Crawford County area, so we’d just go out there and hang out at his house, ride four-wheelers and fish, ride horses and whateve. Is Macon a “Hicktown”? No, but there are some places around there that are, that’s for sure! I think Macon’s got a few qualifications, but I don’t think I’d necessarily call it a hick town. What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far? I would say probably playing the Grand Ole Opry. I’ve gotten to do that three times now and as a country music singer, I mean it’s one of those things, it’s kinda one of those things that you hope to get do, and now that I’ve done it and been asked to come two more times, it’s just cool. There’s something about playing on that stage that is just magic, so that’s definitely one of the highlights. Now that you are on your way, what are you looking forward to the most? Hopefully just being around for a while. That’s the thing, you know, the first single just came out and it’s great and everything seems to be going the way I hoped it would, but it’s like anything, you got to keep putting out good music. If it was up to me, I’d be one of those people like George Straight or Alabama and be around for 25 years and still making music.

Marty Stuart is the keeper of all things heroic and legendary in Country music. He was essentially raised and educated by icons-Lester Flatt, Doc Watson, Vassar Clements, Johnny Cash are just a few of his teachers. Marty’s solo career began in 1985, and he shot to the top alongside Travis Tritt in the early 1990’s. Since then, Marty Stuart has become as enduring a talent as any of his mentors. He’s a historian, a producer, and leader of the greatest hillbilly combo working today: Chris Scruggs, Harry Stinson, and Kenny Vaughn-- The Fabulous Superlatives. When you talk about your music, Marty Stuart’s music-- do you still include the “and Western” at the end of Country? Well, I never have, but I guess after this last record we could. When you do a record called “Way Out West” I guess you could call it... You know, it’s a different kind of western. Sure, it could be Country & Western this go round. Well, then let’s talk about that new record. Now, I myself still have dreams and designs about bein’ a cowboy-- to slightly paraphrase... I even practice my quick-draw when nobody’s looking. Your new album, Way Out West, is described as a love letter to the American West, specifically California. Is that the Mississippi kid still dreamin’ or do you sometimes feel like the last gunfighter looking out into the expanse? Oh, a little of both. That’s a great question. A little of both... But you’re a Southern boy-- I can hear it in your voice. You know, 30 AUGUST 4 - 18, 2017

down at the bottom of the frame is a toe tag that says, “Dillinger,” that his grandpa stole from John Dillinger’s toe and just took took it away with him after they took the picture for the Tribune. So, John Dillinger’s toe tag is probably the strangest thing I have in my Country music collection. (Laughs) I never know what to do with it other than just look at it, and point, and scratch my head-but it’s there if you ever want to see it!

ROAD TRIP TO THE ‘90S
when you’re that far removed from the west... There’s probably a lot of people out west that feel the same way about the South, but when I was a kid...You know those cowboy shows? They looked mighty big to me, and they sounded romantic and the characters had that lonesome, roguish kind of quality about ‘em that I liked. So, that all looked dreamy to me. There’s a lot of that in it. There’s a lot of romance in this record and the writing. Dreamy is a good word to use with that one-- those sort of desperado characters. We play “old Mexico” and it’s just... Just so full and... Picturesque is a word I would use to describe it. Well, cinematic is the right word because if you’re gonna write about something, and you’re gonna do the right job... You know, even if you watch those old movies-- some of ‘em are just movies they made. They’re just kinda stock movies. But every now and then one’ll come along that was so beautiful, and it was shot properly, and written properly, acted properly-- and cinematic. It just takes you on a journey. And that’s I wanted this record to be. I wanna ask you about your ridiculously cool memorabilia collection. You have hand-written Hank Williams lyrics, Gene Autry’s boots, Mother Maybelle’s autoharp, Patsy Cline’s make-up case, clothes, guitars, tapes, photos, I don’t know what all... What is the strangest thing you have that you can tell us about? My buddy... Brian Downes. Brian Downes used to... Well, in the 1970’s, when I was in Lester Flatt’s band, Brian Downes was a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. He was the classic Mid-Western Irishman-- little skid-lid hat, red-faced, talks too loud after two beers and is passionate about what he believed in... So, he became my friend. He loved Bluegrass, and so he just started hangin’ around, and we became pals. But his dad was a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, his grandfather was a reporter for the Tribune, so, they had a lot of stories. So, one day he presents me with this photograph, and it’s framed... And it’s of John Dillinger layin’ on the slab in the morgue after he’d been murdered... With bullet holes all in his body and a sheet layin’ over his body... And
I didn’t have any idea what you would come up with when I asked you that question, but now I’m really glad I asked. Alright, I got another one for you now, so you have done... You’ve done a bit of film work yourself, but I wanna ask you about one particular movie-- and let me first say that I am a fan of the movie... 1997’s Fire Down Below-- you share songwriting credit with Steven Seagal. Did you acually write with Steven Seagal? Yeah. I mean... I’ve never acted in a film. I’ve passed in front of a camera a time or two, but I’m not an actor. Steven Seagal came... He was doin’ that film you’re talkin’ about, and he parked himself up in Eastern Kentucky-- which is not too far from Nashville. And it looked like a revolving door of songwriters comin’ and goin’ from Kentucky, writin’ songs for Steven Seagal, tryin’ to get a song in his film. So, I got a call from him one day, and he says, “My name is Steven Seagal,” and I’m bein’ dead honest-- he says, “Some people up here tell me I need to call you about writin’ some songs.” And he said, “I’ve never heard of you.” (Laughs) And I said, “Well, we’re even, I’ve never heard of you!” So, we go up there, you know, at his request... And we found ourselves tryin’ to write a couple of songs, I think which we did, and they made it into that film. But that’s about all there is to this story... Other than the fact that one of ‘em I remember bein’ pretty good... But I really-- if my life depended on it, I couldn’t tell you what they were. But it was an interesting experience writin’ with Steven. Well, that was a strange film. I mean, not only did you have your little cameo in there, but Mark Collie was in the movie and even Levon Helm shows up in the movie, which I thought was-Yeah, Levon! Levon, you know... Levon is actually one of my... Most musicians should never act, and most actors should never try to play music, but you know as far as Levon havin’ fun... Levon was one of those rare people. Levon I believed anytime he acted. He was wonderful. I had that exact same conversation with a fella the other day. We said that whenever Levon Helm speaks, we immediately take everything he says as the truth. Well, yeah! That’s what he wanted! Well goin’ off of that... Now-- Levon Helm, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings-- Lester Flatt, who you mentioned earlier... I’m gonna stop sayin’ names cause I could keep goin’ on and on... Who haven’t you worked with that you would want to-- past or present? Well, in the past it would’ve been nice to sit down with Jimmy Rodgers, the Father of Country Music... Or Hank Williams. But as far as the present... Strangely enough, one of the people I look at out there-- I regard what Wynton Marsalis does with a whole lot of respect. Wynton, you know, does for Jazz what me and the Superlatives pretend to do for Country music: He treats it as a culture. His shows are as much a class room as they are a performance, and I have a lot of respect for Wynton.

Tyler's aches. The voice in Purgatory wants to know when not if it's going to Hell. Kentucky's haunts and hills have issued some of the finest musicians and songwriters of all time-- Bill Monroe, Merle Travis, Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, Sam Bush, Darrell Scott, Ricky Scaggs... Appalachia and the Bluegrass State continue to inspire artists like Chris Knight, Sturgill Simpson, and Angaleena Presley. The future, uncertain though it may always be, can be heard in the music of Tyler Childers, Kelsey Waldon and Canadian expatriate Colter Wall among others. This new generation could perpetuate the legacy and not the stereotype. Oh, and that's what's going to save Country music.
CK OF RO Show Sp o or ns
The only debate hotter than the salvation of Country music is the name of the superhero who's gonna leap that particular building. Of course, it might be more apropos to say that it's actually Country music radio that's in need of a crusader. At any rate, 26 year-old Kentucky native Tyler Childers couldn't have come along at a better time. Tyler wrote “Whitehouse Road” when he was barely out of his teens. The vanguard track off his debut album, Purgatory, is a driving piece of rednexploitation-- a narration plucked from the outlaw boasts of a wildcatter he once knew. It's tongue-in-cheek but unfolds to a boot stompin' back beat produced by fellow Kentuckian Sturgill Simpson and Jack Clement protege David Ferguson. Purgatory isn't a concept album...
