receptionists, interns and runners (two of whom are the organizers of this event). They deserve a heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcome, and I am proud to be among the throng there to cheer them home. Bob Ray Saratoga
Tearing Up Gary Singh did an amazing job of capturing the essence of the Earthquakesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history in this article. Kudos also to the Metro for giving him the space to do the job right. As a fan of the Earthquakes from their inception, his article brought tears to my eyes as so many memories were described. Al Stitt Manteca

Heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welcome Thirty-ďŹ ve years ago seems like another dimensionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;certainly a lifetime or two in the rearview mirrorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yet Gary Singhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderfully written article on the San Jose Earthquakesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 35-Year reunion (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goal Oriented,â&#x20AC;? Cover Story, July 29) brings those days back in focus as if they were yesterday. The Earthquakes were the foundation of San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity as a major city. The team brought

national attention to a city that, up to then, was primarily known as the poor step-child of Tony Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metro to the north and the punch line for Dianne Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocal of a Burt Bacharach song lyric. The truth was most people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;know the way to San Jose,â&#x20AC;? and the Earthquakes blazed a path that others would follow. In addition to my stadium announcer years and several game broadcast appearances with the team, I was a DJ on local rock &
roll radio station KLIV, where we also fought for a identity among competing signals from the north. The electricity, the visceral excitement and pride reverberating throughout San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Spartan Stadium consistently sold-out with 20,000 rabid soccer fans! Those were magic years; a picture masterfully painted by Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article. This reunion is a special weekend for everyone associated with the Earthquakesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not only the players but front-office staff from GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to
If even half of this is true, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s despicable and perhaps even illegal (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team Chavez, Revealed,â&#x20AC;? The Fly, July 29). San Jose politics has always been clean and polite. That changed about a decade ago with Amy Dean taking over local labor. She handed the baton (ax?) to Phaedra [EllisLamkins] and Cindy [Chavez], who play politics differently. San Jose Revealed was a perfect reďŹ&#x201A;ection
of their win-at-all-costs mentality. They were willing to put people and families in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way because of personal vendettas. Could someone tell Cindy the 2006 campaign is over? And could someone tell labor that dirty underhanded politics is not the San Jose way? And could someone tell me if this is worth a Grand Jury investigation? Question Man San Jose
So What? Who cares who Revealed is? Competing blogs are important so we can get both sides and differing viewpoints on a certain topic. Christian San Jose
Stepping on Toes Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dolores Carr in all this? Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t she subpoena the server records to see who was working with Eric Hernandez? And how can she let Revealed get away with publishing a map to the home of one of her prosecutors? Is she getting too close to South Bay Labor Council and Coyote money to want to step on their toes?

J!Tbxzpv Suicidal Blackberry What you did to me the other night was completely selďŹ sh. You left me there, at the Bank in Saratoga, alone, with no one to call. I turned around and saw that you had disappeared, and my heart sank. I had just saved you from the sewage, minutes before our last goodbye. I was quick enough to catch you between my thigh and that porcelain seat. How easily you slipped out of my back pocket, like you had this planned! What? Ohhhh, I am sorry. So I dropped you a few times before, but in my defense, I was two bottles of champagne deep crossing the street in 5-inch heels. I get it, so it is because of me; I had hurt you so many times. Did you even think about my feelings, my life? I stopped you right before you were about to dive into that toilet in the bar. It was me who put you safely into the warm clutches of my Louis Vuitton. But that was not good enough. You leaped from my bag into that shit hole. Well, screw you then. I need a phone that is more stable, that thinks about me and my needs! You were always a few apps shy of actually fulďŹ lling my technological desires anyway! R.I.P. Why, hello iPhone. Let us never be apart.

One Step for a Reunion
R
EUNIONS ARE in the air these days. Last November and January respectively saw reunions for two legendary San Jose alternative-music clubs—F/X and Marsugi’s—so now it only makes sense that another slice of that same countercultural circle of folks has emerged to get together for a worthy cause. The Sacred Leaf benefit will take place over two nights, Aug. 21–22, at Smoke Tiki Lounge in downtown San Jose. Several dynamics are at play in this one. “A reunion of club kids from the ’80s, ’90s and today” are joining forces to raise money for the George Mark Children’s House, a facility that treats kids with terminal illnesses. The event is taking place in memory of Franco Louis Bastoni, who at age 4 was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor that affects only 250 children per year. With so few cases of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (a.k.a. DIPG), it receives little funding for research and remains a mystery with no known cause and no cure. Bastoni passed away last October. The George Mark Children’s House is the only facility of its kind in the United States that provides palliative care for children with lifespan-limiting conditions, as well as their families, and is the place where Franco stayed for his end-of-life care. The facility, in order to ensure its care remains sustainable for a long period of time, is currently going through a period of restructuring. It came to the conclusion that a budget reduction of 35 percent was necessary, and as a result, several other benefit concerts have already taken place. All of this dovetailed nicely with an idea already in the works. Throughout much of last year, several folks were already conspiring to someday find a way to stage a reunion for the legendary club One Step Beyond (OSB), which raged primarily in the last half of the ’80s but was reborn in the early ’90s. OSB was an all-ages venue that catered to many alternative types: punks, goth kids, ’80s New Wavers, mods, metalheads or anyone beyond the pale of mainstream. One Step Beyond was where many of us habitually went to see shows as teenagers, back in the days when city governments and regulatory institutions weren’t pathologically hostile toward the concept of kids watching bands in the same building as adults drinking alcohol. As a result, bands such as the Ramones, Motörhead and Fishbone played there almost every single year during the last half of the ’80s, always for cheap. Many nowfamous groups—the Replacements, Jane’s Addiction, Faith No More, Ministry, the Red Hot Chili Peppers Throughout much of and countless others—played at One last year, several folks Step before they were huge. Located were already conspiring at 1400 Martin Ave in the industrial warehouse part of Santa Clara, OSB to someday find a way hosted many legendary dance nights to stage a reunion for in addition to the gigs, and the club the legendary club remains a defining part of many One Step Beyond people’s youth. The boy’s mother, Corrina Bettencourt, was a regular at OSB 20 years ago, so one thing led to another, and people started talking. Over the weekend of Aug. 21–22, several local DJs and bands who were a part of that scene, many of whom are still in contact with each other, will appear at Smoke Tiki for two nights of fundraising revelry—all to benefit the George Mark Children’s House. Here are just a few of the folks performing: DJs Harry Who and M3 (Manny Alferez) will spin, along with Belladonna from KFJC 89.7 FM. Also on board will be Astronout, which is the pseudonym of ’90s Emu sampler tech-support hero Mark Camp, brother of Greg from Smash Mouth. Resident One Step Beyond DJ, Sean Denton, who also helps organize the annual Strangers BBQ & Car Show at Kelley Park, will work the turntables. Local musician and songstress Lisa Dewey will play, as will a reunited version of the ’80s San Jose goth band Crimson Ivy, which regularly gigged at One Step Beyond. Each and every person involved is making the entire gig solely to support a one-of-kind facility for children.

HuffPo’s Dangerous Quacks, Hacks and Cultists Salon has a great post by a doctor BEYOND POLITICS!!Bsjboob! about medical quackery at the Ivgß!ohupo!boe!ifs!hvsv-!Kpio!Sphfs-! ibwf!jodjufe!uif!xbdlpt!po!IvggQptu/ Huffington Post, where a columnist recently suggested colon cleansing could treat swine flu. This is the downside of HuffPo’s open, unpaid model—and culty recruiter. Arianna Huffington doesn’t pay the vast majority of her contributors; they must make the work pay elsewhere, and this is where HuffPo gets itself into trouble. Kim Evans, who wrote about treating swine flu with enemas, happens to be the author of Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse. Huffington a disciple of the culty Movement for Spiritual Inner Awareness and its worshipped leader John-Roger. According to Life 102, a memoir by disaffected ex MSIA member Peter McWilliams, John-Roger discouraged traditional medical treatments, often “healing” people with his own spiritual powers. –- RYAN TATE, VALLEYWAG.GAWKER.COM Ndj lVccV `cdl l]d i]Z gZVa fjVX`h VgZ4 I]Z YdXidgh l]d VgZ Xdbb^iiZY id bV`^c\ ndj h^X` l^i] Vggd\VcXZ ^c eaVXZ d[ hX^ZcXZ# "" 8VXn ;dg\Zc^Z Ndj VgZ V XdbeaZiZ VcY jiiZg [ ^c\ gZiVgY# HZg^djhan# I]ZgZ ^h cd di]Zg ldgY id YZhXg^WZ ndj# Ndj ldjaY ]Vee^an hZZ eZdeaZ Y^Z id [jgi]Zg ndjg l]VX`ZY V\ZcYV# ;dgijcViZan hX^ZcXZ VcY bZY^X^cZ ^h YdcZ Wn eZdeaZ l]d VgZ cdi gZiVgYZY X h a^`Z ndj# Ä C^X`Za B9 6]!

Follow the Money Is San Jose’s secretive, poison-pen political blog illegally funded by tax-exempt charitable donations? AST WEEK, Metro named South Bay Labor Council insider Phil Bump as the character assassin orchestrating San Jose Revealed, a blog that has spent more than two years anonymously smearing SBLC’s critics. The paid political operative failed to return phone calls or categorically deny the reports. He did, however, offer several alibis on his personal blog to suggest that there had to be, at minimum, co-conspirators. “From June 17th to 23rd of 2008, the blog they say I run posted eight times. What was I doing during this period? I was on my honeymoon,” Bump wrote on July 24. “In fact, I was bopping around upstate New York in an RV with no internet
access. Then, there’s January of this year, when I was in Switzerland and France, sledding and what-not.” Huffington Post contributor Bump held the title of “political director” at the Labor Council—the same position Cindy Chavez occupied before voters elected her to the San Jose City Council. Chavez, who lost the 2006 mayor’s race to Chuck Reed, today heads the Labor Council, which paid Bump up until recently. In addition to working for the Labor Council, Bump has worked directly for Working Partnerships USA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is largely funded by charitable foundations. SBLC and WPUSA share offices and staff, including a
501(c)(3) IRS code that

common executive director: Cindy Chavez. On Jan. 7, 2003, Bump posted to his personal website: “alright. i got a job. start tomorrow. about g.d. time. i am now the communications (and tech) person for working partnerships. step one—redesign the website.” Chavez has been silent throughout the controversy over Bump and San Jose Revealed, in which her husband has been named as a suspected collaborator. Mercury News columnist Scott Herhold last week published a detailed comparison of Bump’s writing with the posts on San Jose Revealed. Citing the common tendency of both Bump and
$171, 767
Total “administrative support “received by South Bay Labor Council from Working Partnerships USA (2002)
Revealed to punctuate sentences with clichéd exclamations like “ouch” and to begin sentences with “Long story short” among other signature phrases, Herhold concluded that Bump is the writer. Herhold also called on Chavez to “speak up and explain labor’s ties with the New York consultant.” Echoing the story that appeared in Metro and on San Jose Inside a day earlier, he concluded : “[I]n many ways, Revealed resembles a welldone political hit piece with no one’s name at the bottom. We finally have a very good clue about who the sponsors are.”
Big Sister Organization The ambiguous financial relationship among the entities related to San Jose Revealed may violate federal law. The Labor Council is joined at the hip with Working Partnerships USA. Much wealthier than SBLC, Working Partnerships is a funding source for some of the union group’s activities. In 2003, WPUSA had $2.75 million in revenues, while the Labor Council’s budget that year was only $717,743, according to an internal document obtained by Metro’s Silicon Valley Newsroom. The budget document reveals that 35 percent of the union group’s anticipated revenue was to be paid by tax-exempt Working Partnerships in the form of salary reimbursements, administrative support and rent. (See document on next page.) Under IRS code, 501(c)(3) organizations “that are exempt from federal income tax are prohibited from participating or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate for public office.” Working Partnerships executives— Chavez, Bob Brownstein and Steve Preminger—are all active in local political campaigns though &'

The Labor Council has also received funds from the local Democratic Party and the United Way, according to a monthly financial report to the Executive Board of SBLC obtained by Metro. Working Partnerships receives funding from foundations such as the Packard Foundation ($50,000 in 2008), the Hewlett Foundation ($125,000 in 2005) and the Irvine Foundation, which on March 9, 2009 announced a $450,000 grant to enable WPUSA “to facilitate participation of diverse residents in decision making on local and state budget issues and governance reform topics.” WPUSA has also sought local tax dollars. In 2002, Working Partnerships asked the County Board of Supervisors for $500,000 from the general fund to assist Union Community Resources, a social services organization affiliated with Working Partnerships and the United Way.
Partisan Fights, Paid For by Taxpayers? The letter came from Steve Preminger, Working Partnerships’ Director of the Union Community Resources Program who also serves as chair of the Santa Clara County Democratic Party. Preminger’s salary was paid at one point by the United Way at the request of labor leaders. County officials issued a memorandum recommending denial of the request. (On April 28, 2009, the Dalai Lama named Preminger one of the world’s 49 “Unsung Heroes of Compassion.” Working Partnerships executive director Chavez commented on the honor. “This recognition
is well deserved. Steve has touched the lives of hundreds and hundreds of families in need,” she said.) Preminger came in as runner-up in a poll by the Mission City Lantern blog as a key figure involved with San Jose Revealed. While not scientific or conclusive, the poll indicates that at least some people think the Democratic Party chair and compassionate hero is involved with a blog that slings nasty epithets at its political adversaries and publishes maps to their homes. Because SBLC and WPUSA won’t open their books for scrutiny, it’s impossible to know definitively whether SBLC lobbying and campaign activities are illegally benefiting from WPUSA’s tax exempt fundraising activities. When journalists from Metro and San Jose Inside have raised questions about SBLC/WPUSA funding sources, they have been subjected to vicious, repetitive, anonymous personal attacks from the blog site that has become SBLC’s de facto political voice. Santa Clara County District Attorney George Kennedy looked at SBLC financials after a 2004 piece but declined to investigate and instead passed the information on to the California Department of Corporations, after which nothing was heard. Given the reluctance of current Santa Clara County District Attorney Dolores Carr and California Attorney General Jerry Brown to pursue political investigations and prosecutions, the commingling of funds, personnel, office space and monetary transfers between the charity-funded, tax-free WPUSA and the SBLC lobbying and campaign teams is likely to continue. So the question remains: Did funds from charities fund WPUSA, which paid the Labor Council and Bump, indirectly fund San Jose Revealed’s attacks on Chavez’s enemies list after she lost the 2006 mayoral race? If that’s the case, then taxpayers contributed as well, since a tax-exempt nonprofit is, in effect, publicly-subsidized. By Silicon Valley Newsroom

Big names and new talents overflow downtown for annual AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival
METRO’S PICKS FOR THE REST OF THE BEST OF THE FEST DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER
Tvoebz-!5qn-!Nbjo!Tubhf
Sort of like Eartha Kitt without the purring, Dee Dee Bridgewater has followed jazz music around the world. Her last three albums covered the music of Mali, France and Kurt Weill—if there’s a country or composer she hasn’t paid tribute to in song, please sit tight and she will get to you. And yet, Bridgewater is perhaps best known for her Broadway work, especially as Glinda the Good Witch in ‘The Wiz’ and as the first African American woman to play Sally Bowles in ‘Cabaret.’ But her unofficial position as ambassador of jazz is clearly job one.
ALLEN TOUSSAINT
Rolling Stones, the Who and dozens of others. Recently, he collaborated on a post-Katrina album with Elvis Costello.
has never heard a sitar or a sarangi sound like this before. They will perform with New York’s Karsh Kale, who’s also found fame mixing traditional Indian music with electronica.
SUPERTASTER
Tbuvsebz-!21qn-!Kb{{!Cfzpoe!Tubhf San Francisco’s Jazz Mafia collective is like a factory for fresh ideas. Supertaster is the newest group to come out of it. The incarnation for the festival features Adam Theis on bass, brass and electronics, Joe Bagale on drums and Karyn Paige on vocals. Their two-part Jay-Z medley is incredible, but they’re currently working on an album of all-original songs.
MIDIVAL PUNDITZ

Jazz has a lot of niches, but there’s nothing this weekend quite like the MIDIval PunditZ, who play Indian electronic music. Chances are their audience at the Jazz Beyond stage
THE BAY AREA LATIN ALL-STARS
Tvoebz-!7qn-!Mbujo!Kb{{!Tubhf
The festival offers lots of options for lovers of Latin jazz, and it would be morally wrong not to give Pete Escovedo (Saturday, 4pm, Main Stage) a mention. But one of Escovedo’s own favorites is tromponist Wayne Wallace, who will perform solo (Saturday, 6pm, Latin Jazz Stage) as well as with the Bay Area Latin AllStars, a group of top players like flutist John Calloway, percussionist and vocalist Jesus Diaz and pianist Murray Low. They blend their expertise in everything from Afro-Caribbean to salsa to timba and more.

Finally Soul’d Out Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings bring their brand of authentic funk and soul to San Jose By David Ma HIS FRIDAY, Sharon Jones & the DapKings will play a rare set at this year’s AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival. And while South Bay residents aren’t too tuned in to retro-soul, they’ll get a sharp introduction once the stage is lighted, cymbals crash and horns blare. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are a funk soul troupe from Brooklyn, New York, though most of their time is spent touring. Ms. Jones’ stage energy—dancing and singing with ridiculous vibrancy—has been as equally heralded as her killer vocals. Her band, the DapKings, consists of go-to studio musicians who famously backed Amy Winehouse on her acclaimed album Back to Black. The group’s 2007 album, 100 Days 100 Nights, sold more than 100,000 units, a huge feat for a band without major-label funding. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are currently perhaps the largest, most authentic funk and soul group in the country. In a New York Times interview, Sharon Jones said she was deemed “too short, too fat, too black” and, after turning 25, “too old” to be in the music industry. Yet Jones, now 53, is at her busiest ever. Here’s a quick talk I had with Jones as she and the mighty DapKings were en route to San Jose.
T
METRO: What is it about funk and soul that’s grabbing people’s attention again?
SHARON JONES: Well, it’s real music. It’s none of this digital or synthesized stuff you hear all over the radio. You can hear the grit in the singers’ voices as they’re singing in key to real musicians and live instruments. I think that has a lot to do with it. Nowadays, not everyone wants to go out and sing soul music—but many can’t even if they wanted to. Pure soul music is hard to do.

Your live show doesn’t seem easy either, working your butts off onstage every night. How do you maintain that energy level?
I don’t sit and think about what I’m gonna do, that’s probably why I’m still able to do it.
We don’t have routines planned out like everyone thinks we do. We just go out and do songs. We know which songs allow room for certain segments of the show, but that’s about it. I feed off the audience, but other than that, when I bring people onstage, I’m just having a good time. Has bringing people onstage ever gone wrong?
Oh, I’ve had some incidents [laughs]. I’ve had guys be too drunk and fall off stage. I’ve had women who I’ve invited onstage turn around and call all their friends up! Then I have to be like, ‘Hold on, did I invite you up here?’ The stage is like my home for the time I’m up there, so it’ll be like if I just walk up in your home and invited my friends. So, I guess the worst thing is when I have to kick people off stage ’cause I don’t like doing that. What’s the hardest part about performing day in and day out, especially doing all those big music festivals you guys do?
The traveling and not getting enough sleep is the most difficult part. Some of these festivals we play at only have Port-a-Pottys, which is terrible. Others don’t have proper dressing rooms; I’m usually stuck in small rooms where curtains are hitting my head. Other than that, I look forward to it. A lot of these Dap-Kings are younger, so their perspective might be different. But for me, I’m 53 years old and don’t know how many more years I have of running around and jumping on stages around the world. You had time to act too? How was being in that Denzel Washington movie, ‘The Great Debaters’?
It was just a short little part. I played a singer named “Lila.” I had some music on the soundtrack too. Denzel was so nice, and it looks good on my resume [laughs]. I’d like to act some more, it was a fun experience. Real quick—who are some of your personal favorite soul singers? What about them struck you?
Basically, I’m a fan of anyone who was on Stax or Motown. Everyone from James Brown to Otis [Redding], Aretha [Franklin], Patti [LaBelle], I could just go on. Back in the ’60s, I was just 10 years old, but I remember liking it back then. That music is just natural and good—that’s why we call ’em classics. 16

SAN JOSE JAZZ FESTIVAL 15 Speaking of icons, what were you doing when you found out about Michael [Jackson]?
My god, I was walking onstage to do a sound check for that evening’s show. Someone texted me, and I ran off stage and told the rest of the guys. The last few shows, I made the guys do “I Want You Back.” I think when you look at Michael, we should remember the talent—at least I do.
What can San Jose expect from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings?
Expect to see a band really enjoying what they’re doing. I’d rather get paid less money and have a good time onstage than get paid a ton and hate it up there. A lot of people say we take them back in time too. What can I say? Be prepared [laughs]. M
Meet Black Joe
Black Joe Lewis is on a mission to make the blues cool again. Just relax about his name. By Steve Palopoli
BLACK JOE LEWIS qfsgpsnt!Tbuvsebz!)Bvh/!9*!bu!3qn!po!uif!Nbjo!Tubhf-!!
Qmb{b!ef!Dftbs!Dibwf{!Qbsl-!Tbo!Kptf/!!
LACK JOE LEWIS just wants everybody to tell him what his name is. But despite the supposed Obama Effect, in which all of America is suddenly, magically cool talking about race, his white fans often get a little uncomfortable with the fact that Black Joe Lewis is, in fact, black. “A lot of people think it’s a racial thing, they’re scared to say it,” says Lewis, from his home in Austin. “It’s pretty funny.” So what is the name, really? A joke. And one conceived by the same friend who wrote the Black Joe Lewis fan favorite “Bitch, I Love You,” which says a lot. All of Lewis’ band members, with whom he’s just released his second album, Tell Em What Your Name Is!, have similarly meaningless monikers: Sugarfoot Watkins, Big Show Varley, Wild Bill, Rooster Andrews, Slyder,
B
McKnight the Night Train and Sleepy Ramirez. But even though it may be meant as comic relief—“We used to do all this comedy stuff,” says Lewis—the name Black Joe Lewis is fitting, too. It harks back to a vanished era of great blues nicknames for legendary players like Howlin’ Wolf and Lightnin’ Hopkins, who were big influences on him. Half of this guy’s Top 8 MySpace friends are in fact dead bluesmen with great nicknames: Wolf, Hopkins, Slim Harpo and Bunker Hill (OK, no one is sure if Bunker Hill is actually dead, but that’s another story). With one foot in the blues, the other in driving rock & roll, and hips firmly in funk, it might be fair to wonder what makes Lewis’ band a good match for the San Jose Jazz Festival, or any jazz festival. 18

SAN JOSE JAZZ FESTIVAL 16 He shrugs—such distinctions have little to do with the reality of festivals any longer. “I think they just call festivals ‘jazz’ sometimes,” Lewis deadpans. “It’s just a word to make it sound cool.” But there is a side to Lewis’ music that fits in the jazz camp—his ensemble is clearly influenced by the masters of rhythm and improvisation who surrounded James Brown. Lewis has no doubt why his band gets so many comparisons to Brown’s. “Because we were trying to copy them,” he admits. It took him a long time to get his musical style on the good foot, as J.B. would say. Growing up in a small Texas town, Lewis heard some blues and soul, but he was almost old enough to drink before he even picked up a guitar. Even then, it was out of idle curiosity; he worked in a pawn shop frequented by musicians putting their six-strings in hock. Eventually, he started fooling around with them. His first band was straight blues, and he admits it was mostly just a chance to learn how to play. “My first shows were so bad. I’m surprised they let me come back,” he says. “We never practiced, and we played the same songs every Sunday night for two years. It was ridiculous.” It did, however, bring him together with guitarist Zach Ernst, who asked Lewis to open for Little Richard. Sensing he was destined for bigger and better things, Ernst pretty much stole him away to be the frontman for Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, who hit the stage just a month later and continue in nearly the same form today. “We had our first practice,” says Lewis, “and almost everybody [from it] is still there.” Over time, he developed his distinctive singing voice. When he started out, he says, it was more like a nervous mumble. Now, it’s a roar that recalls his blues idols, although he realizes that most of his fans probably haven’t heard of Lightnin’ Hopkins. “That’s why I gotta bring him back,” he says. It’s part of his mission, along the lines of what the Rolling Stones did for Howlin’ Wolf. “If it weren’t for them, the blues wouldn’t have been rediscovered in America. Sometimes you need a fresher version of something to get people to remember it’s actually cool.” Surrounded by top-notch players and now signed to a major label, Lewis is suddenly cool himself. The new album is a short, sharp rave-up that draws on stacks and stacks of Stax, a little R.L. Burnside, Brown and plenty of excellently nicknamed greats. “We’ve been getting a lot of attention lately. We went to Europe, and there were people coming out left and right,” he says. “It’s ’cause all they got is that electronic crap.” M

Harlem Calling After a lifetime of music, Oscar Hernandez and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra are taking salsa worldwide EZiZg BV^YZc

away from the star-studded threshold of Los Angeles lies the place closest to Hernandez’s heart: Spanish Harlem, or simply El Barrio. Spanish Harlem was once the epicenter of a Latino culture populated primarily by emigrants or descendents of emigrants from the Caribbean isles of Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Although waves of new immigration and the constant changes that characterize contemporary American society have since eroded much of what was once considered one of the most artistically vibrant neighborhoods on earth, the nearly mythical wonders of Spanish Harlem still dwell in the souls of people like Oscar Hernandez. “Spanish Harlem is as important to Latino culture as black Harlem is to black people,” Hernandez says. “These are places where people came together to develop cultural identities through art and especially music. I grew up in the Bronx, but I spent so much of my time [in Spanish Harlem], going shopping, visiting family, going to social events—everything 21

HE 47th Grammy Awards were good to Oscar Hernandez. Held at Los Angeles’ Staples Center in February 2005, it wasn’t the first time Hernandez found himself strolling the red carpet, but it was his most memorable. Compared to his inaugural campaign in 2002, which yielded a nomination for Best Salsa Album, the 2005 Grammys represented an unparalleled career milestone. That evening, the bandleader and pianist for the Spanish Harlem Orchestra was handed popular music’s highest honor: a Grammy Award for the group’s 2004 album, Across 110th Street. “To finally get that recognition after 30 years of living my life through music was an incredible experience,” Hernandez reflects. “I’ve been paying my dues as a musician in all aspects of life, persevering through the good times and the bad times. Now I’m able to have success traveling the world, playing the music I want to play with the musicians I want to play with. It’s really a blessing.” Three decades ago and a continent

SAN JOSE JAZZ FESTIVAL 19 took place there. I think El Barrio became a microcosm for Latinos in New York City.” Surrounded by the music of greats like Latin jazz player Tito Puente, bandleader Tito Rodriguez and salsa icon Willie Colon, Hernandez quickly found himself drawn to music with astonishing force. At every turn, it seemed the pulsating rhythms of El Barrio beckoned him closer. “I would hear [Latin music] constantly— from every house window, every club. I realized that there was a certain richness and beauty in the music that, to this day, makes me think that [Latin music] is the best music in the world.” In 1966, Hernandez began playing trumpet in the local Boys Club before switching to piano two years later. Aside from a few pointers given to him by friends and local musicians, Hernandez learned the instrument on his own accord, developing enough precision and flair to earn a spot in several local bands, including Joey Pastrana’s La Conquistadora. The group went on to record an album, and in 1972, the vocalist and composer Ismael Miranda recruited Hernandez to play in his band, which catered to the growing trend in Latin Boogaloo. From Miranda’s group, Hernandez moved on to Ray Barretto’s jazz band, where he was introduced to the music of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, both of whom would continue to influence Hernandez throughout his career. After six years with Barretto, Hernandez hooked up with salsa singer Ruben Blades and joined his group Seis Del Solar. While playing in Blades’ band, Hernandez enrolled in the City University of New York, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Music a few years later. For the next two decades, Hernandez embarked on a music career that branched from pianist to composer, and eventually to arranger and producer. As his demand as an instrumentalist and producer grew, Hernandez found himself working with a veritable who’s who of Latin stars, from the Queen of Salsa Celia Cruz to pop star Julio Iglesias. But at the turn of the millennium, Hernandez began to crave the childhood passion that had become his lifelong love: salsa. In 2000, Hernandez set out to put together a group that only a wellconnected member of the Latin music community could hope to assemble. The resulting 13 members of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra are among the most talented musicians ever to play the clubs of Spanish Harlem, and the band’s 2002 debut album, Un Gran Dia en el Barrio, launched them toward greatness. The goal
was straightforward: buck the pop-salsa trend and revive the classic sound of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. In other words, bring salsa back to its roots. Led by vocalists Frankie Vasquez, Herman Olivera and Ray de la Paz, the debut captivated a worldwide audience and earned Hernandez his first Grammy nomination. The group’s 2004 follow-up, Across 110th Street, once again delivered a batch of irresistible throw-back salsa tunes, spiked with a contemporary flair that earned the Spanish Harlem Orchestra a Grammy Award. On the heels of their newly gained superstardom, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra toured the globe incessantly, playing shows all across Europe, Australia, and even places as unobvious as Israel and Ireland. The band’s latest release, 2007’s United We Swing, explores new territory while still remaining firmly entrenched in the rhythm and melody of classic salsa. A handful of contributors found their way onto the disc, none more intriguing than Paul Simon. Hernandez and Simon, who became friends while working together on a Broadway musical in the late ’90s, collaborate on a rendition of Simon’s “Late in the Evening.” “I was talking to Paul one day, and I asked him if he’d like to get in on a record I was putting together, not really expecting that he’d have much interest,” recalls Hernandez. “He said, ‘Absolutely, what do you have in mind?’ We wrote the arrangement two weeks later. The beauty of the song is that it not only represents him, but it manages to represent the Spanish Harlem Orchestra at the same time.” In between work on a new and as yet unnamed album, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra will embark on a U.S. tour, beginning at the San Jose Jazz Festival. No stranger to the Bay Area, Hernandez says that he has played at a number of local venues, though never the San Jose Jazz Festival. “Some of our biggest fans are in the Bay Area,” he says, “and it’s always a great place for us to play. I love the area in general; it’s similar to New York in that there’s a lot of culture and art, and just a lot of energy.” Asked if audience members should remember to wear dancing shoes, Hernandez showed the seriousness in his devotion to salsa: “You know, a lot of people think of salsa as purely dance music, but it’s so much more than that. We played a venue once where the crowd wasn’t allowed to dance, and they got upset and started complaining. I had to tell them that it’s OK to sit down and listen— you can still appreciate it.” Of course, nobody will blame you for wanting to jump up and dance at Sunday’s show—least of all Hernandez. M

HE MOVIE Clueless has become an across the board cult favorite for 20-something women these days, and a fundamental part of that popularity is the clothes. As silly as it sounds, seeing Clueless in the sixth grade was a pivotal part of my personal style development. The film presented a carefree, pre-9/11 universe where a makeover could turn a hapless new loser into a miniskirted foxy hipster, and where getting one’s Alaïa dirty was just as bad as getting mugged. The film was also my first real introduction to couture and how much fun fashion could be. Even today, watching the irrepressible Cher (Alicia Silverstone) bounce around the screen in her knee socks, chunky Mary Jane’s and crop tops still makes me yearn for the grungy 1990s of my youth. I’m not alone, and perhaps this is precisely why ’90s–tinged styles have seen a resurgence this summer, from flannel to ripped jeans to the bravest trend of the bunch: the bare midriff. When I first heard that the crop top was back in business, I was skeptical if it would ever find a place off the runway and into reality. Though designers like 6A:M6C9:G L6C<! 8=:6E BDC96N! L>A9;DM 8DJIJG: and even EG696 are hawking crop tops for summer 2009, the trend does have an inherent degree of difficulty. Considering the all-too-common sighting of the muffin top lately, I viewed the breaking out of belly shirts with doubt and a bit of apprehension. However, I found myself won over when a walk along Paseo de San Antonio during a heat wave last month turned into a stroll down 1990s memory lane. As I headed out of Philz Coffee, I passed two different young women sporting bare bellies. One in a pair of highwaisted jean shorts, gladiator sandals and flowing peasant top that hit right under her bra line, and another with a flannel button-down tied to reveal her navel and a long skirt. Seeing this trend in person again brought me back to that pivotal makeover montage in Clueless, where a barefaced Tai (Brittany Murphy) has her first experience with “the challenging world of bare midriffs.” As Tai shakes her head in apprehension, Cher whips out a pair of scissors and precedes to chop off the bottom half of the teenager’s T-shirt to reveal the ultimate in ’90s hotness: the crop top. They both gaze into a mirror and smile. To my surprise, the look that those two young women were going for in downtown San Jose didn’t leave me with a trashy impression. On the contrary, being young, petite and fit, they looked surprisingly cool, causal and hipster chic. As such, I have conceded to the fact that the bare midriff is back, and it can be done right. I’m sure Cher Horowitz would be proud. Jessica Fromm

Chinese Light Touch ;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

HEN IT comes to Chinese food, I tread carefully. Silicon Valley, like the rest of the planet, is awash in Chinese restaurants, but you have to wade through a lot of General Tsoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chicken and greasy fried rice to ďŹ nd the good stuff. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good stuff ? For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cater to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet and grease tooth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food that skips Americanized dishes like the aforementioned General Tsoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chicken and mall food court standards, such as Chinese chicken salad and honey-walnut prawns, in favor of regional food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food that comforts, surprises and satisďŹ es. So when I discovered Cupertinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Rice Cafe, I was skeptical. The 100-plus-item menu reads like a tour of the usual suspects of Chinese-American food. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to report that while many of the dishes are ordinary, the execution of said dishes surprised me with their reďŹ nement and light touch. The hard-to-ďŹ nd restaurant occupies a space formerly held by Jade Tree Chinese Restaurant. The trick to locating it is entering the
parking lot on the corner of Wolfe Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard and looking for the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orange sherbetâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;colored façade. My dining companionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhone steered him totally wrong. The restaurant is next to Kitsho Sushi and opposite the House of Falafel, if that helps. Inside, the restaurant is an air-conditioned oasis of serenity. The brick-red walls are hung with framed works of art. Tables are covered with white linen tablecloths and topped with little wooden boxes that you slide open to reveal sets of chopsticks. The only odd touch is the looping soundtrack of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s pop-song piano instrumentals. Chef Cheng Wei Zhang comes from the city of Shanhaiguan in northeast China, yet the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuisine is variously called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chinese private cuisineâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taiwanese.â&#x20AC;? Chinese private cuisine is a hybrid of styles that came together in the private, aristocratic kitchens of imperial China. Rice Cafe says it simply means the food comes from Zhangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal (or private) recipes. Taiwanese food is similar to Chinese food, yet different. But
donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about the confusing nomenclature. Just eat. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve no doubt had pot stickers 1,000 times, but here, the housemade fried dumplings ($5.95) are ďŹ lled with ginger and green onionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;ďŹ&#x201A;ecked slow-braised beef and enough savory broth so that the chewy little packages burst in the mouth. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wonderful. Less common is the Chinese cucumber salad ($6.95), a refreshing, onion-spiked blend of shredded cucumbers, bell peppers and cilantro awash in a spicy, sweetish dressing. For something really off the beaten path, look for the four-item Mandarin menu posted on the table. From the small list of appetizers (which the friendly waitresses in Hawaiianprint shirts will translate for you), I picked two winners: the chilled, sliced beef shank in red chile oil ($6.95) and the spicy bean curd noodles ($4.95). But most dishes are more familiar and uncommonly good. The hot and sour soup ($6.95) has a lighter touch than most versions of the soup and tickles the back of the throat with white pepper heat. The dry-fried green
beans ($7.95) are wok-withered, but snappy and fresh. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dried garlic tossed with the vegetables that makes them so good. Kung pao shrimp ($9.95) is a solid take on the classic, and I liked the mildly numbing effects of the Sichuan peppers in the mapo tofu ($7.95). Most versions of the spicy-saucy standard have ground pork on top, but this one is meat free. For something unabashedly spicy and delicious, check out the beef with roasted chiles in clay pot ($8.95), a fearsome-looking pot of thinly sliced beef simmering in a deep and rich sauce studded with wok-tossed chiles and Sichuan peppers. The one real clunker I encountered was the lemon chicken ($8.95), fried pieces of chicken entombed in a syrupy, sweet glaze. This is the kind of Chinese food I run from, but which is thankfully in short supply here. Rice Cafe may be hard to ďŹ nd, but its familiar menu is easy to like.

METRO: Why did you decide to pursue a career in wine?
SUZANNE CHOWLA: I developed an appreciation for wine and winemaking when I lived in Lausanne, Switzerland. The shores of Lac Leman [Lake Geneva] are covered with beautiful, steeply sloped vineyards. I learned about Swiss vineyards, winemakers and wine, and some of the wines from the rest of Europe while living in there.

Ask the Sommelier
Many years after returning to the United States, sommelier Robert Williams was the ďŹ rst to suggest that I consider becoming a sommelier, because he felt that I have a knack for pairing wine with food. He told me about the sommelier program at the Professional Culinary Institute (PCI) and referred me to speak with his friend, Master Sommelier David Glancy, who is the director of sommelier education at PCI. I visited PCI and was immediately impressed with what the sommelier program had to offer. I decided to go for it, completed the program, became a Court of Master Sommeliers certiďŹ ed sommelier and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back since. I am having the time of my life working as the sommelier at Chez TJ.

George Aviet has owned Chez TJ since it opened in 1982. George has a great appreciation of wine and has created a cellar ďŹ lled with wonderful wines, many of which he wisely chose many years ago and has cellared. Our wine list prices represent great values for our guests, especially on those extra-special wines. Additionally, I actively seek out exceptional wines for our wine list from some extraordinary winemakers, both domestic and foreign, who produce small quantities of especially beautifully crafted wines. I am continuously expanding the variety of wines and winemaking regions represented on Chez TJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine list. What wine or wines are you passionate about right now?
Right now, I am passionate about Austrian wines. Austrian wines are not well known in this country, so I am having fun introducing our guests to how glorious they can be. Among the broad diversity of grape varietals that are common in Austria, I love gruner veltliner (made into both still and sparkling wine), blaufränkisch, welschriesling, bouvier and blauer zweigelt. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also really enjoying sharing the wide range of fantastic Austrian dessert wines with our guests as part of our wine pairings. What are some of the best wine values now?
I am seeing many excellent wine values coming out of the Mendoza region of Argentina and from many wine-growing regions in Chile. The quality of the wines just keeps getting better and better, and the values on some wines are so good itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe. What is your go-to wine for everyday, casual drinking?
The 2008 Susana Balbo Crios torrontĂŠs is a delicious, well-made aromatic white wine Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been keeping in my refrigerator lately for when guests drop by. I made a surprise discovery recently that it pairs amazingly well with homemade sour cherry pie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also really enjoying the 2006 Domaine Ruet Brouilly Vieilles Vignes Cru Beaujolais. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a subtle, elegant wine for under $20.

Incrementalism
R
ECENTLY, I had a conference call with some green bloggers and the subject of incrementalism came up. OK, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;incrementalism,â&#x20AC;? but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we were talking about. You know, should you laud a company for taking baby steps to improve the eco-friendliness of a product thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially not that eco-friendly at its essence. For example: Do you praise a company for improving packaging or materials used or manufacturing processes or distribution channels . . . for a disposable razor? Sure, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lowering the impact, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the whole idea of the disposable razor the antithesis of green? This reminds me very much of the vegetarian vs. vegan or animal welfare vs. animal rights arguments. It goes something like this: Making conditions more humane for animals destined to be slaughtered just lets people feel all warm and fuzzy about something that is still, essentially, inhumane. It may, in fact, deter real, lasting, permanent change for the better because it makes us feel like taking those incremental steps is â&#x20AC;&#x153;good enough.â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading this column for any length of time, you probably already know where I stand: Baby steps are better than no steps. Sure, lots of steps, fullon big, huge steps are better than baby steps, but when you ďŹ nd the person who actually achieves perfection, the person who is taking every step there is to take to be humane, ethical, green, etc., when that person emerges to prove it can be done, then I might start raising my standards higher. But as long as passionate green bloggers are still, inexplicably, meat-eatersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite all the evidence that not eating meat (and dairy and eggs) is one of the most powerful individual steps we all can control to be more eco-friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I will continue to be grateful for the good work they do. And I look forward to the day they do more. (And to the day when I do more, too, no doubt about it.) Whether you call it pragmatic or defeatist, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think people or companies will change overnight. So I see tremendous value in reducing our respective footprints, our negative impact. Whether you call it pragmatic or defeatist, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we will eliminate, be it practices, products or services, until we reduce. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, even though I went ďŹ rst vegetarian, and then vegan, overnight in each case, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for incrementalism. What about you?

Donato Enoteca
A
FTER BEGINNING his cooking career in his native Italy, chef Donato Scotti worked at Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; famed Valentino. He then joined Il Fornaio in Walnut Creek and Palo Alto. From there, he opened La Strada in Palo Alto in 2004. His latest venture, the Italian restaurant Donato Enoteca in Redwood City, opened barely two months ago in a prime spot near City Hall. The restaurant offers three distinct dining rooms, outdoor sitting, a full bar and an open kitchen presided over by the affable Scotti. Although there are a few standards, like pizza, panini and tiramisu, the bulk of the menu is a fresh breeze of lesser-known dishes that stray from the well-worn ItalianAmerican path. When the kitchen is on target, Donato Enoteca scores with rustic but elegant preparations of pan-Italian cuisine. Instead of breading and frying calamari like everyone else, Donato grills fresh and meaty Monterey Bay squid ($8) and pairs them with fat bianchi di spagna beans and mache. Donatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wood-ďŹ red pizzas are textbook perfect, with a thin, barely there crust that offers just enough structure to support the judiciously applied toppings. For a new restaurant, service is quite smooth and professional. The staff knows the menu and appears to coordinate well with the kitchen. As you might expect, the wine list is heavy on Italian wines and contains some reasonably priced bottles. Desserts are mixed. The tiramisu ($9) is as good as it getsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;layers of gooey chocolate and espresso-soaked cake capped with thick and creamy mascarpone cheese. While not particularly original, the molten chocolate hazelnut cake with vanilla gelato ($9) is easy to love, too. Stett Holbrook

TV Icons Rebrushed
Artist Isabel Samaras cleverly combines art history with pop celebrities in a new book of her paintings By Richard von Busack
A MAN AND MONKEY Jtbcfm!Tbnbsbt! dpncjoft!npe!dfmfct! xjui!ijtupsjdbm!tuzmft/
GAINST the full Wagnerian opera of the death of Michael Jackson, Bay Area artist Isabel Samaras provides a little commentary. Her new book, On Tender Hooks, includes Samaras’ takeover of the 1594 painting Gabrielle d’Estées et une de ses soeurs— better known as the portrait of King Henry of Navarre’s mistress getting her nipple pinched. (Everyone who goes to the Louvre loves to bring it back on a postcard.) Samaras shifts the conceit to a shirtless Jackson being literally titillated by Bubbles the Chimp. This tweaking of a masterpiece is part of Samaras’ beautifully stylized and funny punk-rock aesthetic. Some introductory photos include a portrait of the artist as a young punkette, looking stern and impressive. The arc of Samaras’ work shows more than just a gift for punkish mischief. When you’re through laughing, you keep looking. There’s awe here—a serious love of myths, from ancient ones to moviebuilt lore to the hypnotic world of 1960s TV.
It’s hard to describe the shocking effect LBJ-era television had on mesmerized kids. Suddenly, there occurred in one’s living room a polymorphously perverse array of sexy monsters, masked men and learned pigs. In a glowing portrait, Samaras depicts Arnold Ziffel (fondly referenced by Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction) in the arms of Eva Gabor; the porker looks as vital and tangible as a George Stubbs thoroughbred. Samaras’ earliest works, done on thriftshop TV trays and kids’ lunchboxes, were, she writes, “the most fun painting I’d ever done.” She rendered the hidden sex lives of TV characters. The Gilligan’s Island castaways pose as the sufferers on Gericault’s Raft of the Medusa; later, they live an afterlife as a polyamorous commune. It would be easy to dismiss them as adult Mad magazine cartoons, and yet one can’t draw away easily from Samaras’ regular subject: the erotic side of Adam West’s Batman and Burt Ward’s Robin. The heroes share a velvety French kiss or tangle with the succulence that was Julie
Newmar’s Catwoman. It all seems so possible. Who knows what men of mystery do? The book contains a very ornate inside joke: The Judgment of Batman after Rubens. The Dynamic Duo decide who will get the golden apple among a costumed trio of Lee Meriwether, Newmar and the late Eartha Kitt. Samaras departs from TV after some toasted marshmallow-colored nudes; they resemble Mel Ramos’ work, but they are less pneumatic, less ironic and more ardent. The reclining Elizabeth Montgomery as the witchy Samantha Stevens is titled I Put a Spell on You. It rather does. The richness of the Renaissance oil painting strikes a strange harmony with the utter paganism of late1960s TV. But the style also works well to depict cinema. Samaras paints a quartet of full-length portraits of the Famous Monsters of Filmland; they’re iconic, like Catholic saints, and they hold the instruments of their martyrdom. Frankenstein’s monster carries a daisy in one hand. In the other is a small model of the windmill where he met his fate. Or
at least one of his fates. The artist is currently in the thrall of the Brothers Grimm and with pastiches of English portraiture such as Jane Austen–era European colonialists marked with Maori tattoos, one of which appears on the book’s cover. On Tender Hooks features a portrait of the artist in the mantle of Red Riding Hood—inscrutable but curious, gazing past us into the woods. In Embrace, the red-clad girl is caught in the grasp of a standing golden-eyed wolf. One seated portrait, Baby Bear, has the creature wearing some bling and a diamond-encrusted ring. The bear-fancying Goldilocks, nude and tattooed, has her back turned to us at a riverside bathing amid her trio. “If there is a beast in man, it meets its match in women,” wrote Angela Carter in her story “The Company of Wolves.” On Tender Hooks charts Samaras’ journey from a young girl satirizing myths to a woman making her own. ON TENDER HOOKS: THE ART OF ISABEL SAMARAS; Chronicle Books; 160 pages; $35 hardback.

First Fridays VERY BUSY weekend is shaping up for downtowners as San Jose hosts the annual Jazz Festival and the monthly art happening known as First Friday. All along South First Street, just a marimba’s toss away from the jazz stage in Plaza de Cesar Chavez, galleries and museum will open their doors for receptions, music and mingling. As a bonus, the Jazz Festival will place its Jazz Beyond stage in the middle of the DIY Street Market outside Anno Domini Gallery, with performances by Midival Punditz (8pm) and Panthelion (10pm). Serious collectors will also want to check out the vinyl record swap and sale—proof that there’s more to life than MP3 files. For First Friday, Anno Domini opens Walking the White, a show by Brazilian artist and graffitist PJOTA, who has fashioned some oversized canvases about his trek from South America to California. Minimalists Shudder will provide a live soundtrack for the reception. Nearby, Caffé Trieste hosts a reception for Fables, Stories and Far-off Place, featuring paintings and prints by Woody Miller. Down the street, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles celebrates two new shows—Fabric Tattoos: The Spirit of the Mola and The World According to Joyce Gross. Christopher Agostino will be on hand at the museum to paint visitors’ faces. Slave Labor Graphics presents pieces by cartoon and comics artists saluting the Jazz Festival; Slab Yard will perform. In keeping with the theme, South First Billiards will offer a jazz jam and live-art event. And don’t forget to stop by the Metro lobby at 550 S. First St., for a show of local photographers, with music at 7pm by Suicidal Barfly.

Flipper Ripper
‘The Cove’: So long, and thanks for all the fish. By Richard von Busack
E
SSENTIALLY, the only difference between Louie Psihoyos’ documentary The Cove and the TV show Mission: Impossible is the Lalo Schifrin music. The Cove stirs up an ongoing scandal covered up by both small-town police and a major world government. The outrage happens annually at a Wakayama Prefecture site—ostensibly a Japanese national park—hidden from public view by security guards and concertina wire. The incident is investigated by a clandestine team of nocturnal volunteers, whose collective skills make one think of Jim Phelps and his associates. The trouble began, says interviewee Richard O’Barry some 40 years ago. O’Barry, ex-dolphin trainer of the Miami Seaquarium, is the current head of the Dolphin Project, an organization dedicated to studying the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. He was a staffer on the Flipper TV show (1964–67). The Atlantic bottlenose dolphin hero was Lassie with fins, easily the smartest character on 1960s television. Flipper was played by a bevy of five dolphins trained by O’Barry. The show’s popularity contributed to the worldwide rise of dolphinariums. There’s nothing a punter on vacation likes to see more than a dolphin balancing a ball on its nose. Unfortunately, aquariums burn through a lot of dolphins, and the more Third World the aquarium, the rougher it is for the dolphins.
O’Barry’s claim—and rebuttals for it must be found elsewhere—is that confinement causes terrific stress for an animal that usually swims 40 miles a day. He claims that aquariumized dolphins get ulcers and are dosed with Maalox. In a sad sequence, O’Barry recalls how Cathy, leading lady of the quintet of dolphins who played Flipper, committed suicide out of misery. What does a dolphin know about suicide, one asks? That’s immaterial, since the less ambiguous parts of the story in The Cove are what matter. No worldwide body protects small cetaceans, even though their intelligence is a matter of scientific proof and ancient lore. O’Barry is now a pariah in the international community for trying to free dolphins, even if it means breaking the law. O’Barry discovered that the dolphins are being herded into a certain bay to be purchased by talent scouts for aquariums. The dolphins that fail the audition are driven out of public sight. In a coastal corral, they are butchered and rendered into school lunches and prisoner chow. Japanese arguments for the “cultural importance” of whale and dolphin eating turn out to be as self-serving as an oil company exec’s proof that global warming is a hoax. Maybe only Matthew Barney believes that jive about culture. As we learn in The Cove, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) is a mostly toothless group, even if it recognized
by the U.N.; it’s being repeatedly lobbied by Japan to put whale back on the menu. In The Cove, regular Japanese fisheries spokesman Joji Morishita is seen trying to wheedle the IWC into lifting whaling restrictions. He makes his usual argument that whales are like cows. Just because cows are sacred in India, Indians can’t tell Americans not to eat hamburger. The argument would be more sensible in a world where cows were endangered and had to hide from Japanese whalers off the coast of Antarctica. Psihoyos teases out the hidden agenda behind the cetacean slaughter, as well as the political manipulation of poor island nations. And we learn the real reason the ostensibly poor traditional fisherman won’t take a payoff bigger than the $600 a cadaver they make from spearing dolphins. Those who get some comfort from revenge will be happy to hear that dolphin eating is not only immoral but also bad for you. The dolphins are full of mercury (22,000 parts per million) thanks to their tuna-rich diet. “Swimming toxic waste dumps,” is how one biologist describes them. Psihoyos refreshes the public memory about the mercury poisoning of Minamata, immortalized in the photos of William Eugene Smith and the song “Kepone Factory” by the Dead Kennedys. Minimata, too, was a matter the Japanese government tried to deep-six. Although he is stonewalled and intimidated by the police, the director
doesn’t stir up racism. He and the crew visit a splendid Buddhist shrine where locals gaze in meditation at boulders in a sand garden. Go find Americans who have the spirituality to do this, he notes, before inspiration strikes: “We were watching a rock. What if the rock could watch us?” Word is sent to Marin to get Industrial Light & Magic to make an authentic-looking rubber boulder with a camera hidden in it. This gadget goes on the roster with the rest of the gang’s equipment: night vision goggles that are legally not supposed to leave the United States, check. A team of climbers, check, lookouts, check, decoys for the police, check. A pair of physically beautiful and graceful Canadian free-divers to rig the underwater sound system, check. And Cinnamon to seduce the guards and put knockout drops in their coffee… OK, made that last part up. One needs a little fantasy to master the disgust of seeing these lovely creatures killed for a quick buck and political capital. We sometimes forget that the camera can be such a weapon. This outraging and thrilling (and sometimes unbearable to watch) film is guaranteed to stir worldwide indignation. It ends with a “What you can do” section. I guarantee that The Cove will make you want to do something. THE COVE (PG-13; 92 min.), a documentary by Louie Psihoyos, opens Aug. 7 at selected theaters.

Reviews by Michael S. Gant, Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack.
New The Cove (PG-13; 92 min.) See review on page 51. G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra (PG-13; 120 min.) Behind-the-scenes moments to look for when this DVD comes out: Sean Penn is passed over for a role on the G.I. Joe team after he fails to demonstrate proper â&#x20AC;&#x153;kung-fu gripâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;eagle-eye visionâ&#x20AC;? in audition; producers screen Todd Haynesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1987 underground ďŹ lm Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, which was acted out with Barbies, and brieďŹ&#x201A;y consider casting actual G.I. Joe dolls;
writers somehow remain blissfully ignorant to the fact that their plot point about the bad guys trying to destroy the Eiffel Tower was used in Team America: World Police, as a parody of how bad the plots for movies like this are; project stalls when everyone involved realizes a live-action movie based on plastic action ďŹ gures is a really stupid idea, revived when Transformers becomes one of the most successful movie franchises in history. (Opens Aug 7.) (SP) Julie & Julia (PG-13; 123 min.) Meryl Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her facility with accents, her plasticity and that uncompromising quality every really lasting actress has to haveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been used to portray the limits of human suffering. In Julie & Julia, Streep gets to kick up her heels. She has such fun with the part of the cookbook writer Julia Child that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistently intoxicating to watch. Streep continues at full sail through the ďŹ lm, elevated a bit on a high heels and
trotting with the happy clunkiness of a Clydesdale. Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the whoop of surprise, the trill and warble when she talkedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the ďŹ lm enthralling. But there had to be some way to hold the ďŹ lm together, and sure enough disaster befalls. Half of this ďŹ lm is based on the hustled-into-print book version of a blog by Julie Powell about replicating all of Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recipes. Amy Adams, the most charming young actress alive, plays Julie, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a horror. Director Nora Ephron tries for frankness in her script by having Julie Powell call herself a bitch. That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to rehab her. (Opens Aug 7; read a full-length review at metroactive.com.) (RvB) La Rondine The Puccini opera recorded at Teatro la Fenice in Venice. (Screens Aug 9 at 11am and Aug 12 at 7pm at Camera 7 in Campbell.) Lornaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silence (R; 105 m in.) See review on page 55. Paper Heart (PG-13) Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera star in a country-spanning romantic comedy masquerading as a documentary. (Opens Aug 7.) A Perfect Getaway (R; 98 min.) Island tourists discover theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being hunted by a psychopath in what appears to be (despite a lack of credit) yet another version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Most Dangerous Game,â&#x20AC;? the 1924 short story which has been adapted and ripped off more times than maybe any other piece of genre ďŹ ction. Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich star. (Opens Aug 7.) (SP)
Revivals Iron Man (2008) Rousing adaptation of the Marvel comic. The heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scarlet and gold armor (designed by the late Stan Winston) is gorgeous, like a wrathful Art Deco statue come to life. As Errol Flynn did, Robert Downey Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tony Stark sometimes reďŹ&#x201A;ects scroungy misdeeds offscreen; the black-dyed beard and mustache recall past-their-prime swashbucklers. The idea conveyed is of great speed, exhilaration and purpose renewing a heartless man jaded by everything. (Plays Aug 6 at sunset in Redwood City at old Courthouse square; free; bring lawn chairs or blankets.) (RvB) The Black Pirate (1926) See story on page 57. (Plays Aug 7 at 7pm in San Jose at the California Theatre.) Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) King Arthur is played by Graham Chapman as soft and rather dumb, a constitutional monarch in the bloody Middle Ages. Even God, animated by codirector Terry Gilliam, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that keen on him. John Cleese is impressively gruff as a bellicose knight who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let quadruple amputation dull his ďŹ ghting spirit; he is also an extravagantly ridiculous French knight. Eric Idle is brave, brave Sir Robin, his shield bearing the emblem of the ferocious Chicken of Bristol. And Michael Palin and Terry Jones (in drag) are the moral centers of the ďŹ lm, the razzing voices of the working class. The ruling class in England derives some of its power from the myths wrapped around it. The Pythons never forgot that power when it came time to roast the tales of Arthur. The screening includes contests and free ticket giveaway to the upcoming local run of Spamalot. (Plays Aug 12 at sundown in San Jose at San Pedro Square; bring blankets or lawn chairs; free.) (RvB) My Fair Lady (1964) The ďŹ lm of the beloved stage musical is oversized, but it boasts Rex Harrison as the snide elocutionist Prof. Henry Higgins, who transforms a cockney ďŹ&#x201A;ower peddler into a society lady. Audrey Hepburn, no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of a mudlark, co-stars as Eliza. There are some terriďŹ c songs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Street Where You Liveâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rain in Spain.â&#x20AC;? (Plays Aug 7-10 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)
M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y AUGUST 5-11, 2009 FILM A Night at the Opera/The Merry Widow (1935/1934) The ineffable Marx brothers take on the world of classical music. However, they’re saddled with a squarepleasing “love interest” of Allan Jones and Kitty Carlisle, which makes for popcorn breaks, anyway. Home of the famous and endlessly imitated “stateroom scene” and the symphony orchestra chumped into playing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” BILLED WITH The Merry Widow. The spicy story retold in post-Code times, heavy on the MGM gingerbread. The confectionary plot is mostly familiar in its parody form (in the Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup). Prince Danilo (Maurice Chevalier) is required by patriotism to marry the country’s richest widow, but Danilo hexes the job by mistaking one of the floozies at Maxim’s for said heiress. Not director Ernst Lubitsch’s finest hour, despite some pleasant touches throughout. (Plays Aug 11-13 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Niles Film Museum Regular programs of silent films. Aug 8: Fritz Lang’s Spies (1928). Agent 326 vs. a mysterious international organization: in other words, the blueprint of the modern spy film as designed by its master architect. And Oranges and Lemons (1923) with Stan Laurel; in which Laurel, medflylike, singlehandedly destroys the California citrus industry, despite the hindrance of his boss (“If ya work hard, I won’t kill ya till quitting time.”) Plus Our Daredevil Chief (1915). Judy Rosenberg at the piano. (Plays Aug 8 at 7:30 in Fremont at the Edison Theater, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB) The Wicked Lady/Madonna of the Seven Moons (Both 1945) James Mason stars against Margaret Lockwood—a born-in-Karachi beauty. Lockwood plays a titled lady of the 1700s who becomes a highway robber for the fun of it. Mason plays the dashing bandit she meets along the way. BILLED WITH Madonna of the Seven Moons with Stewart Granger in a romance of past-life regression. (Plays Aug 5-6 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)
Reviews Aliens in the Attic (PG; 86 min.) A family comedy about kids and visitors from beyond. The Collector (R; 88 min.) Mardeline Zima, Andrea Roth and Josh Stewart star in a crime drama about an ex-con trying to steal his way out of trouble. Not to be confused with the 1965 thriller of the same name, starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar, directed by William Wyler and based on the John Fowles novel. (500) Days of Summer (PG-13; 95 min.) Tom (Joseph GordonLevitt), a greeting-card writer, has his heart broken by a girl he knew for about two years. She was called Summer (Zooey Deschanel). As Tom recalls this tale in random-accessed moments, we begin to see the bigger picture. (500) Days of Summer is allegedly an anti-romantic film, but the result is yet another alterna-date movie—a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes don’t go on so long that they wear out their welcome. And yet it’s so full of negative space—places where jokes could have been planted, places where the characters could have been deepened. If only director Marc Webb had spent as much time thinking how to fill in the blanks as he spent murmuring, “It’s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.” (RvB) Food, Inc. (PG; 94 min.) The outrages of corporate food production are exposed in this fast and infuriating documentary by Robert Kenner. Defying the lawyers, one corporate chicken farmer shows us her wretched, antibiotic-packed birds. Drooling packed-in steers are fattened with cheap Iowa corn; it breeds E. coli in their guts. (RvB)
Funny People (R; 146 min.) As Jonathan Schell described the late Robert McNamara, “emotional without being introspective.” Judd Apatow’s flop doesn’t range far from below the belt: it’s his most serious film and yet his worst. Seth Rogen plays Ira, a budding L.A. comedian who hooks up with George (Adam Sandler), an A-list comedian with a string of profitable high-concept films—and a case of Hollywood Movie Disease. George mentors Ira; Ira mensches George. The title is a misnomer; in Apatow’s world, it’s only men who are funny. Which is strange, since 45 hilarious seconds of Sarah Silverman talking about her junk beats the more than two hours of cock humor here. To those who have always felt that Sandler was an
aggressive, cold figure, it’s hard to celebrate his showing an uglier side than usual. The visuals aren’t worth mentioning; Apatow’s still essentially a TV director in love with the easy setup and the interior shot. (RvB) G-Force (PG; 88 min.) Guinea pig humor dressed up in military fatigues. The Hangover (R; 100 min.) A satisfyingly low comedy with a sturdy plot and the wit to realize that the Three Stooges format is solid gold. Stick with it, since the first third is hit and miss; later, director Todd Phillips solidly builds the situations, thinking up strategies to bolster the risky comedy. (RvB)

*(
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (PG; 153 min.) Hogwarts’ decay is showing, against lowering weather that looks like January in Iceland. The new potions professor, Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), holds in his memory a key conversation with the young Tom Riddle, later to become the Hitler of the world of magic. Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the magic-world’s Churchill, needs to know what Slughorn knows, but the world’s greatest wizard is starting to decay. Young Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is now comfy enough with being called the Chosen One that he can joke about it (even if Emma Watson’s Hermione gives him an whack on the head when he does). Rupert Grint is show-stealing in his perennial role as ginger-nut comedy relief. (RvB) The Hurt Locker (R; 131 min.) The soldiers of Bravo Company are stationed in Baghdad for the 2004 fighting. Central to the film is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James (Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert. James’ risktaking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). Director Kathryn Bigelow does what Howard
Hawks would do: she finds the cooperation between men of great competence in a killing trade, rather than pumping up rivalry. (RvB)
wrong. The film comes down to Rockwell acting by himself, when history has proven that Rockwell is at his best as a sidekick. (RvB)
In the Loop (Unrated; 106 min.) Armando Iannucci, a well-known figure in British television comedy, does a scathing sort-of version of the dawn of the Iraq invasion. James Gandolfini’s Lt. Gen. George Miller is a more wrathful version of Colin Powell. Mimi Kennedy plays Miller’s best ally, Karen Clarke, a career State Department diplomat with dandruffy hair and teeth that seem to be disintegrating during the middle of a crisis. Gandolfini and Kennedy’s characters are the film’s moral center—the two people operating with goodwill. We want to follow them through this sonata of collapsing spines and raving, swearing political careerists. But too often Iannucci just won’t let us. The fierce verbiage pours forth like a gusher, but the smartness outsmarts itself. (RvB)
Orphan (R; 123 min.) A horror thriller about an adopted child with serious issues. Stars Vera Farmiga, Isabelle Fuhrman and Peter Sarsgaard.
Moon (R; 97 min.) Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is a miner on the dark side of the moon. His only companion is a living computer named GERTY, with an emoticon face and measured, ambiguous voice by Kevin Spacey. Sam is counting the days until he gets to go home, but matters start to go
The Proposal (PG-13; 107 min.) Sandra Bullock returns in a romantic comedy with Ryan Reynolds. Plus (check your demographics tables here) Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Betty White. Public Enemies (R; 140 min.) Previous takes on the life of John Dillinger had themes like “Crime doesn’t pay” or “Society is to blame.” Michael Mann’s is “It was only a movie.” Mann carries out this study of Dillinger’s career from its middle to its end in darting, little-cam movements. If it weren’t for the music—1940s jazz in a 1930s world—the film would look Dogmetized. The photography often uses high-def synthetic light: yellowish-white flares of gun bursts and gritty magenta torches burning. Surfaces come to mind—that’s what this skin-deep film gives you when you can’t hear the dialogue or can’t tell who the new characters are supposed to
M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y AUGUST 5-11, 2009 FILM
Shrink (R; 110 min.) Jonas Pate’s tag-team, onlyconnect, only-in-L.A. drama. It begins solidly with a world-weary psychiatrist, Dr. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey), Once he was a psychiatrist to the stars; now he is a physician who needs to heal himself. The doctor has a roster of clients, a real workload: Kate (Saffron Burrows) and Evan (Joel Gretsch), a famous movie star/ rock-star couple. Shamus (Jack Huston, John’s grandson) is supposed to be Colin Farrell. Robin Williams plays Jack Holden (why not William Nicholson?), an aging superstar with satyriasis. Want more? Too bad, here they come: Dallas Roberts as neurotic motion picture executive; striving screenwriter Jeremy (Mark Webber) and working-class African-American girl Jemma (Keke Palmer) Spacey’s look of groggy melancholy is a reliable getter of laughs, and one short scene of Burrows sitting and eating ice cream makes up for a lot of heavy life affirmation in this tangled, tangled web Pate weaves. (RvB) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PG-13; 150 min.) Off to college goes young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) trying to forget the trauma of watching the robots destroy L.A. The government covered it up. Sadly, a chip of the spark cube stuck to Sam’s shirt, and that starts the whole mess over again: indistinguishable robot-clobber with warlike threats. Manly Air Force officers in camouflage strut in slo-mo amid more cargo planes than one would see in an “Army of One” commercial. (RvB) The Ugly Truth (R; 101 min.) A rom-com with Katherine Heigel and Gerard Butler acting sorta antagonistic but really falling for each other.

Love for Sale In ‘Lorna’s Silence,’ a foreigner gets caught between dangerous men and her own feelings.
L
ORNA (Arta Dobroshi), the heroine of Lorna’s Silence, seems to be an average poor young girl in urban Belgium, a part-time employee at a dry cleaning plant. But Lorna is Albanian, not actually Belgian, and she has married a citizen for money. She has been sponsored in this citizenship racket by dangerous Russians. They have further plans for her. Lorna’s husband is a shambling addict named Claudy (Jérémie Renier)—a perennially junk-sick blond scarecrow, unable to clean up. She treats Claudy like a messy and disliked child. The marriage is in the final days, since her citizenship will be official soon. Complicating matters further, Lorna has a boyfriend waiting in line for her marital life to end. Once she has her citizenship, Lorna decides the best way out of the marriage is to get an automatic divorce under a law that grants one to a battered wife. But if Claudy can’t control his habit, he’s also not violent; he can’t bring himself to hit her, even if she tells him to do it. He cares for Lorna, his wife in name only. And reacting to his emotional turmoil, Lorna makes an impulsive gesture. She tries everything she knows to save Claudy from his drugs, at the risk of dooming herself. The state of the summer’s movies being what they are, I’d love to announce that the new Dardenne Brothers offering is a major film, but it’s just a good— sometimes damned good—story, based on an authentic-sounding criminal scam that hasn’t made it into the movies before. Telling it, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne violate their previous furtiveness and subtlety—those qualities that made them, by miles, the most interesting filmmakers alive when charting the troubling demands of a Christian ethos. In an interview, codirector Luc says that Lorna’s Silence is about “a religious believer of sorts, even if God is dead.” That the theme can be made just this explicit is the problem. People who say this kind of thing don’t believe God is dead. And they don’t throw much of a bone to those who never thought God was alive in the first place. One wonders if the Dardennes are taken by the Romanian New Wave, or if Lorna’s Silence might be an answer movie to 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Dobroshi does a terrific job; she’s just remote—and silent—enough to make us almost believe Lorna’s turnaround. Ideally, we’d like to have it both ways. The Christian viewers could feel that they were seeing a miraculous softening of a hard heart. Worldly viewers could feel that they were watching a tale of how kindness is a virtue only the well-fed can afford. It’s always best never be able to tell whether a person is holy or crazy. One way to see Lorna’s Silence is this: It’s about a girl who cracks under the strain of a dangerous scam and manifests this crack-up by acts of compassion. But the film teeters into behavior we have to take on faith because it’s absurd: a sudden sacrifice, a sudden conversion to belief in the sanctity of all life (even unborn life). It’s a sharp turn this movie can’t quite execute, and it means that for the first time the Dardennes can be accused of melodrama. Richard von Busack LORNA’S SILENCE (R; 105 min.), directed and written by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, photographed Alain Marcoen and starring Arta Dobroshi and Jérémie Renier, opens Aug. 7 at Camera 12 in San Jose.

be. In numberless close-ups, Johnny Depp emphasizes surface, too. Spilling out the capsulized details of his life in three or four lines, Dillinger asks his girl Billie (Marion Cotillard) “What else do you want to know about me?” That’s meant to keep us satisfied, too. Who am I? I’m the guy playing Dillinger, that’s who. The movie makes the master bank robber a gent, a showman, an ardent monogamous lover; when he takes hostages, it’s to relieve them of the humdrumness of their lives. But Public Enemies never takes us hostage; it never establishes that link it reaches for, the link between those hard times and ours. (RvB)

The Sounds of Silents Organist Dennis James adds swashbuckling sounds to a special screening of Douglas Fairbanks’‘The Black Pirate’ By Richard von Busack

ERTAINLY, we are always looking for those experiences we can tell our grandchildren about. There is one this very Friday that costs only $5. Dennis James appears at the California Theatre’s Wurlitzer organ in downtown San Jose, accompanying the first great pirate movie: Douglas Fairbanks in 1926’s The Black Pirate. Fairbanks was the premier action star of the 1920s, the image of the suave adventurer, the avatar of James Bond and Jackie Chan. In this family-friendly tale of disguise and revenge, Fairbanks plays the duke of Arnoldo, avenging his father’s murder by infiltrating a band of cutthroats. “Pirates demand color,” Fairbanks said at the time. “Stories of modern life, war stories, even romances like Robin Hood and The Thief of Baghdad might be told in black-and-white, but what pirates needed was something more vivid. It was impossible to imagine them without color.” The Black Pirate is in two-strip Technicolor, with burnished antique tones meant to recall the oil paintings of the 1700s.
An anonymous, misguided IMDb fan of The Black Pirate notes that here is “about as good a pirate movie as you can make without sound.” Silent is one thing this movie won’t be, when James works the Wurlitzer. James has restored the original full orchestra score of The Black Pirate by Mortimer Wilson. He notes, via email, “I’ll be incorporating several of the Wilson themes in my own solo-organ compilation score . . . adding generic silent-film music published compositions to make up the rest for the San Jose performance next week.” After some 40 years, James is secure in his reputation as the No. 1 silent-film organist in the world. The praise for James goes far and wide. He has taken on monumental silent films: Abel Gance’s Napoleon and Fritz Lang’s Dr. Mabuse trilogy and Nibelungen epics, grueling four- and five-hour marathons. But James is also an expert in the delicate touches necessary for tragedy. The silent star Lillian Gish once said that James’ playing of the score for King Vidor’s La Boheme,
a story of love and loss, “brought tears to my eyes . . . his score was just what we intended it to be when we made the film.” James “is without doubt the greatest practitioner of the art of solo silent-film accompaniment,” wrote the expert Stephen Salmons of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Among James’ accomplishments is being the house organist at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theater. Even with a touring schedule that takes him from Australia to Oklahoma, James has a side interest—the sonorities of eclectic glass instruments like Ben Franklin’s armonica and the cristal de bachet. But it is on the Wurlitzer—a church organ on steroids, with ranks of pipes and powerful electric lungs—that James is most popular. In its day, there were some 2,000 of these Wurlitzers used to accompany the images in movie theaters. These massive organs contained many sound effects. Mary K. Miller in Smithsonian magazine catalogued them: “Train and boat whistles, car horns and bird whistles. . . . Some could even simulate pistol shots,
ringing phones, the sound of surf, horses’ hooves, smashing pottery, thunder and rain.” The music itself whispers and screams. It ranges from breathy airs to the spine-rattling crescendos necessary for the biggest moments in silent cinema: images of unmasking, of romantic declaration, of death. Think of Fairbanks’ Zorro revealing himself to be the man least suspected, Don Diego; the Phantom of the Opera unveiling his disfigurement, or a locomotive’s plunge into the river in The General. Now think of the sounds that go with them. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the difference between a silent movie with live Wurlitzer accompaniment and one without is like the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. THE BLACK PIRATE (1926), silent with organ accompaniment by Dennis James, screens Friday (Aug. 7) at 7pm, with the Laurel and Hardy short ‘Two Tars’ before the feature, at the California Theatre, 345 S. First St., San Jose. Admission is $5. (408.792.4194).

How amazing that the guy doesn’t seem to know how you feel when you’ve been sending signals for an entire year—telling him you’re as hot for him as you are for the elderly receptionist and the paunchy Polish janitor with the exposed butt crack. Yes, who knew, “Take me right here and now on this desk!” can also be phrased “Bye, Mr. Raszewski, have a great weekend!” Although you’re utterly overwhelmed by the prospect of rejection, you seem to think it’s easy for guys, that they just say to themselves, “Oh, look! It’s human and wearing a bra. I think I’ll ask it out!” Unless you’re stunning—in which case, all you have to do is exist in a guy’s eyeline. You need to let him know you’re open for business; specifically, his. But, you don’t just march up and blurt out “I like you. Do you like me?”—which is about as alluring as “Drop by some afternoon so I can give you genital herpes.” Asking a guy out is another lousy idea. Men will tell you they’re fine with it—just as they’re subconsciously knocking you from an 8 to a 3.6 for doing it. Because sex is more costly for a woman—potentially leading to nine months of pregnancy, then a kid to drag around—women evolved to be the choosier sex and men evolved to value choosy women, and to apply to be chosen. This isn’t to say all the work should
be left to men. It’s your job to flirt with a guy, signaling that if he asked you out, you wouldn’t scream “Rape!”, fall on the floor laughing or report him to Human Resources and have him demoted to crossing guard. Instead of spending a year chewing on your lip, you could’ve spent a week or two smiling at the guy, making eye contact and looking away, playing with your hair, toying with objects around you and touching his arm (female flirting moves recognized across cultures). Then it would’ve been his turn, perhaps to drop mention that he, too, is looking for a boyfriend. If only you’d signaled your interest, even inaction on his part would’ve been progress—telling you to move on. Then again, maybe he would’ve asked you out, and maybe you would’ve found he’s mean to the waitress and twirls his nose hair at the table. Yes, for all you know, you don’t even like the guy—the real guy, not the one you’ve turned into a rock star in your head. While you could finally give flirting with him a whirl, with the way you’ve built him up, your best bet is probably meeting new guys and practicing your body language—those little pronunciation tricks that make the difference between “Ask me out” and “Ask me if I’m often constipated.”

Wji ]Z hZZh i]Vi Vh V [dgZWdY^c\ h^\c# Å:nZWV\h Some people count sheep; your boyfriend chases them around the barn trying to wrestle them to the ground. While there are mattresses with individual “sleep numbers,” you two could use one divided down the middle by one of those Plexiglas windows they have at the bank. What does it mean when a couple can’t be unconscious together? Perhaps that one of them has a serious medical issue—something a doctor should check out. Other than that, not a whole lot.
Unfortunately, your boyfriend seems to be equating your need to avoid falling asleep behind the wheel with all that negative stuff you see on TV about the guy being deported to the couch. You can put a futon on the floor or sleep in another room and crawl into bed with him in the morning, then thrash around together while awake. The guy just needs to face the facts: He sleeps like a baby ... great white shark trying to break into Jacques Cousteau’s sharkproof cage.

GREEN CARDS
will soon stumble upon a key secret to your next masterpiece. And I’ll be surprised if you don’t discover a healing agent that will be effective in correcting an old mistake. In fact, Aries, I prophesy that in the coming week, you will have a sense that you’re doing the smart thing at least 90 percent of the time. Sorry: I’m afraid to say that I have no sad, bad or mad news to deliver. If you’re the type of person who thrives on cynicism, your immediate future may be pretty boring. If you’re on the fence about the question of whether life is a gorgeous feast or a chaotic mess, your ability to deal with outbreaks of goodness will be supremely tested.
IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): In Salman Rushdie’s story “The Prophet’s Hair,” a greedy man intentionally cripples his four sons when they’re young, hoping to turn them into beggars who elicit profound sympathy and large cash donations. The plan is successful. His sons earn him a good income. Later, however, he comes into possession of a potent talisman—a strand of hair from the prophet Mohammed—and it magically heals the sons’ ailments. They’re no longer able to pull in big bucks, and grief descends upon the family. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I think there’s a variation on these themes at work in your own life. A “magic charm” is available that could reverse or at least neutralize an old handicap. Do you have the pluck to surrender the questionable rewards your impairment has brought you? <Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): It should be an excellent week for potato chip breakfasts, rapid mood shifts and short-duration flirtations. The abundance of superficial exchanges that will be available to you could actually add up into something resembling meaningful breakthroughs. You will have the chance to explore the art of the five-minute epic conversation, as well as the science of giving a single look that speaks a million words. You cannot possibly plumb the bottomless depths of casual, frivolous, lightweight diversions, but you should try anyway. 8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): On one hand, you may find yourself unable to flow as freely as you’d like to in the coming week. I foresee the possibility that your streaming currents will get dammed up in places, or else shunted into narrow conduits that constrict your natural surge. On the other hand, this could compel you to make more practical use of your emotional assets. The applicable metaphor is the harnessing of a turbulent river to produce massive amounts of hydroelectric power. AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): If you really knew how
much you were loved, you would never cry again. A sublime relaxation would flood your nervous system, freeing you to see the beautiful secrets your chronic fear has hidden from you. If you knew how much the world longs for your genius to bloom, the peace that filled you would ensure you could not fail. You’d face every trial with eager equanimity. You would always know exactly what to do because your intuition would tell you in a myriad of subtle ways. And get this, Leo: A glimpse of this glory will soon be available to you.
K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): First of all, my friend, you don’t need any secondhand anything, let alone secondhand love. Second of all, dearest, you are hereby ordered not to hang around any third-rate situations where you feel like a fifth wheel. You understand? Thirdly, wonderful one, keep in mind that any eight ball you may fantasize that you’re behind is just a figment of your own delusions. Fourthly, lover, I assure you that your sixth sense can now lead you—if you cleanse it of its superstition—to a place that is, if you have a good imagination, a suburb of seventh heaven. A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): I got an interesting spam
message today. A company that said it was very proud of its high-quality work offered to sell me phony credentials that are impossible to distinguish from the real thing. What caught my attention the most were the degrees from Harvard and Stanford. I wouldn’t mind having one of those up on my wall. But in the end, I decided that instead of paying the company $230 for one of its excellent fakes, I’d simply make one myself. And instead of creating a degree from Harvard, I would have it be from a place where I have actually matriculated, namely the Raving Maniac Academy of Crazy Wisdom, which is the unruly school where I often
find myself during my lucid dreams. I bring this up, Libra, because it would be an excellent time for you to make yourself a fancy fake diploma from whatever your equivalent is to my academy—you know, the source that has been providing you with so much great teaching, even though it’s not an official institution of higher education.
HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): A Slovenian adventurer named Martin Strel swam the length of the Amazon River in Brazil. It took him over nine weeks to travel more than 3,000 miles. Previously, he had breast-stroked his way down the entire Yangtze River in China, a distance of almost 2,500 miles. He scoffed at the idea of conquering the River Nile in Egypt, however. “It’s long, but not challenging enough,” he said. “It is just a small creek.” That’s the spirit I hope you will summon in yourself during the coming weeks, Scorpio: a determination to take on only the most invigorating tests that require heroic levels of resourcefulness. Skip the lesser trials.
HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Ideally, you
wouldn’t even be reading this. You’d be whitewater rafting along the Franklin River in Tasmania, or riding on “the train at the end of the world” in Tierra del Fuego, or observing Golden Bamboo lemurs in the rainforest of southeastern Madagascar. Ideally, Sagittarius, you’d be far away from any newspaper that carries my column. In fact, you’d be out of touch with all media, period. But since you are reading this, you must not be doing the ideal thing. So please do the next best thing: Flee as far as possible from your usual haunts, your habitual influences and your customary comforts.
8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Make sure that no
one except you will be able to tear asunder what you join together in the coming days. Tie knots that will never slip. Build bridges that can’t be burned. Send emails that cement new alliances, and plug yourself into networks that are crackling with high-energy connections. Stock up on safety pins, staples, nails, tape and glue. Be sticky, Capricorn! Just one caution: Do not marry your fortunes to people unless they are willing to be your devoted, synergistic warrior as much as you are their devoted, synergistic warrior.
6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Don’t whine and
complain just because your guardian angel seems to be driving hard bargains lately. You’re actually on better speaking terms now than you’ve been in some time. Before the sweeter talk can begin, though, the two of you still have to work out kinks left over from previous miscommunications. Besides, there’s a method in your guardian angel’s madness, a reason why she or he is driving hard bargains: She or he is testing you to see if you’re willing and able to stretch your imagination to accommodate the rowdier blessings you’ll soon be tempted with.
E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): Underdogs are on an
upsurge. Topdogs are on a downswing. The rebels have something resembling God on their side. The masters merely have money and propaganda. It’ll be an excellent week to launch strikes, boycotts and protests. It’ll be prime time to say no to smiling manipulators. The best efforts, whether coming from you or the people you want to be close to, will always have at least a tinge of cheekiness. So now that you’ve read my spiel, please answer me this: Are you going to sit there passively and grin as some feel-good tyrant tries to break off a chunk of your soul?

I’d certainly think twice about tangling with the no-iron shirt industry if I suspected you were on its legal team. The simple answer to your question is that noiron shirts are indeed made by soaking them in formaldehyde—or more precisely, formaldehydecontaining resins. Although we think of it mainly in connection with embalmed cadavers and fetal pigs in jars, formaldehyde is widely used commercially to make plastics, particle board and plywood, and a variety of other common products. When resins containing formaldehyde are added to cotton fabric, they form cross-links between the fibers like rungs on a ladder, giving the fabric added strength and increasing its resistance to wrinkling. Formaldehyde also has some drawbacks. In small doses, it can cause respiratory problems and eye and skin irritation. It’s likely a carcinogen, and breathing too much of it can be fatal. If you wear no-iron clothing, you can inhale formaldehyde vapors from the fabric or absorb it through your skin. Individual sensitivity to formaldehyde varies—and in some cases it’s not clear whether formaldehyde is the culprit. Recent lawsuits have alleged that wearing certain Victoria’s Secret bras led to hives, rashes and even scars; the suits claimed that the bras had tested positive for formaldehyde, but VS denied using formaldehyde in making the garments. On the cancer front, research has yielded mixed results. A study of 11,000 U.S. garment workers who used formaldehyde to make wrinkle-free clothes found a moderate increase for developing leukemia, but scientists looking at 7,700 Australian textile workers saw no significant link between formaldehyde and cancer risk. If you’re worried, washing your clothes before wearing them for the first time greatly reduces your exposure. Formaldehyde isn’t the only problematic chemical found in clothes. One common drycleaning agent is perchloroethylene (PERC), a solvent also used in stain removers, paint cleaner and ink. Short-term exposure to high doses can cause dizziness, decreased motor skills and vision trouble. You don’t have to live above a dry cleaner to be at risk—PERC levels in a sealed car containing freshly dry-cleaned clothes have tested at more than eight times the recommended limit. True, cutting-edge dry cleaning technology uses
little or no PERC, but who knows what chemical perils will turn up tomorrow? Then again, Mr. or Ms. Concerned Attorney, if the world contained no risks, nobody would need to hire you.

Earth’s magnetic field protects us from charged particles in the solar wind that could cause bad things, from interfering with electronics to stripping away our atmosphere. The magnetic field isn’t uniform—since 1958 we’ve known about a weak spot (not a hole) centered near Rio de Janeiro. Called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), it results in the magnetic field dipping to an altitude of 100 to 120 miles, instead of its normal 500 miles or more. Because it lets in more solar radiation, the SAA is a hazard to space flight. Satellites have had their circuits temporarily scrambled while passing through it. Astronauts passing through the SAA see flashes of light when they close their eyes, caused by charged particles striking their retinas. Coincidentally, the SAA lies right over part of the flight path of Air France flight 447, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1. The cause of the crash hasn’t been established, but I had my assistant, Una, dig around for reports of unusual aircraft equipment failures near the SAA. She learned about solar activity blacking out aircraft radio over the poles, but nothing near the SAA. She also checked the space weather archives, and even though earthbound weather was terrible that night, things were calm from a solar radiation standpoint. So despite online claims, I doubt the SAA was a factor in the crash.
