BY TOM TOMORROW Buddhist aversion to violence vaporizes pictures of a bloody and beaten-up and black Christ?

Will we honor a Muslim ban on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberation? Even if we ban things that Christians ďŹ nd offensive, Pegram should not be the loudest voice. He is not gay enough and is creepy thinking that parents, like me, want strange vigilantes peeping over my kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulders looking for porn.

Keep Your Church Out of My State Tony Nguyen San Jose

Splitting Heads As an infrequent patron, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m offended by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;head-splitting musicâ&#x20AC;? comment (The White Russians Are Coming,â&#x20AC;? The Fly, Aug. 26).

Screen Shot Thank God, there are no Christian mullahs issuing fatwas in the United States. Having failed twice at City Hall to install censors on the San Jose public library computers, Larry Pegram is now taking the crusade into the streets (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Figment of an Obscene Imagination?,â&#x20AC;? The Fly, Aug. 26).

The expensive software â&#x20AC;&#x153;solvesâ&#x20AC;? a nonexistent porn problem. The

$40,000 the Values Advocacy Group pledged only pays for half of the start-up costs, and nothing for the $9,000 yearly upkeep fee or the city legal defense against First Amendment lawsuits.

People will sue when the blacklist expands from banning porn to also include gambling, alcohol, tobacco, gays and lesbian, gamer or drug sites. Use the money to keep the libraries open and stocked with books.

Pegramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crusade for Internet censorship blurs the lines between church and state, politicizes the library and perverts the librarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission of â&#x20AC;&#x153;providing free and equal access to information, knowledge, independent lifelong learning.â&#x20AC;? If we allow one religious group to use the state to impose their agenda in the name of values, then be prepared for all religious groups to do the same.

Will Pegram be so sanguine when

Downtown may need an injection but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a blank slate. I was just a kid when the last great era or downtown was wiped clean by failed gentriďŹ cation (which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only read about), and I lament it happening again.

Expand, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contract. Diversify, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t homogenize. We live in a fairly civilized place in which many different venues can coexist, or at least I hope so.

Nam Turk San Jose

Part-Timers San Jose should make the City Council positions part time, and cut the salaries and extravagant beneďŹ ts the council and their respective staff receive. This should also be done at the state level, saving hundreds of millions of dollars each year. This is what most other cities and states do currently and they are all in better shape than California.

Steve From SanJoseInside.com

Negative Effect The city should really consider relocating/incorporating Zanottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into the San Pedro Square area.

The new Market by Safeway at the 88 looks awesome! But it may have the negative effect of draining business from Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Time will tell.

Tony D. From SanJoseInside.com

J!Tbxzpv Fake Sweepers To the people who manage the street-sweeping areas: Where are the sweepers? I am required to move my car every week to either side of the street so the sweepers can clean the streets.

Not once, and I mean once, have I heard or seen a sweeper. The garbage is still there in the same place each week. I even sat in my car overnight waiting for one to come by. The reason you ask?

I have received three tickets on my car for parking on the street during designated sweeping times.

KFJC Celebrates 50 years

N

EXT MONTH, KFJC-FM (89.7), that rabble-rousing station at Foothill College, celebrates its golden anniversary. At 8pm on Oct. 20, 1959, station manager Bob Ballou uttered the first words ever on that station, broadcasting from a broom closet at the old Foothill campus on El Camino Real in Mountain View. There exists no recording of what he originally said, but Mr. Ballou will be back on the air on Oct. 20 to mark the 50th anniversary.

The station has staged celebratory endeavors all year long. DJs from 30 years ago are returning for special fill-in shifts.

Listeners are donating vintage fliers, stickers, program guides, posters, recordings and news articles for the archives. The fandom comes to an apex this Friday, when an art show, “Blowing Minds Since 1959: A Retrospective of the Art and Culture of KFJC,” opens at the Kaleid Gallery in downtown San Jose (88 S. Fourth St.). A 50th anniversary art and logo contest took place earlier this year, and the winners will be on display, as will many other pieces of memorabilia from the station’s sordid history.

I’ve been a KFJC listener for more than 20 years, because in my opinion the entire purpose of college radio is to play anything the commercial stations wouldn’t possibly touch, and in KFJC’s case, they’ve disregarded all standard procedures for decades now. In 1978, four student managers pretty much overthrew the general manager due to his belligerent, unwavering emphasis on mainstream album-rock formatting.

The station then subsequently went on to bring the entire punk/New Wave explosion to the South Bay. Even today, by the grace of God, Satan, Loki, Isis or whoever, you never know what to expect from that station. One day, it’ll be Japanese surf music followed by master musicians from Morocco followed by 30 minutes of doom metal. The next day, you’ll hear avant-garde jazz, ambient electronica, obscure psychedelic rock and then children’s records deliberately played at the wrong speed.

That’s right—live human beings actually decide what music is played and those same human beings are allowed to play whatever they want, as long as a quarter of it comes from material added to the station’s collection in the last few months. In addition, KFJC features a tremendous amount of “live mics,” with independent touring bands showing up on a regular basis to jam in the studio. The station has even broadcast live from England, New Zealand and Japan, where it showcased up-and-coming bands from each of those places. All in all, listeners get a pretty decent peek into the eclectic tastes of each DJ and don’t get subjected to the same nauseating “classic” hits, cyclically bludgeoned to death on commercial stations for the last quarter-century.

But I digress. For the KFJC art and logo competition, 20 submissions were received, all of which were submitted by KFJC fans rather than established artists. Andrew Goldfarb took home first place. “The submission form asked, ‘How did you hear about the contest?’ and every single one was from a listener,” said Leticia Domingo, the station’s publicity director.

“We even had submissions from New Zealand and Australia. I didn’t expect that.”

Kaleid Gallery, an extension of the Phantom Gallery project, in which artists display their work in empty downtown San Jose storefronts, occupies a city-owned building just north of the Flames Restaurant on Fourth Street. After the previous tenant, an art supply shop, couldn’t make ends meet, the city allowed Kaleid to have the space for an indefinite amount of time. Now, the gallery features heavily in the First Friday art events, and the KFJC show invades the place for a month, beginning this Friday.

“It’s not that everyone’s going to like what we do,” says Domingo, “but we’re doing what no other noncommercial, nonprofit college radio station is doing. And we’ve been doing that for a long time.”

I replied that, honestly, I wouldn’t be the twisted creep I am today if it wasn’t for KFJC. “I wouldn’t either,” she said.

Schmidt. There were no rules, and the whole interview was on the record. I started the interview with a simple question: What is Google?

“I think of Google as a set of overlapping things. It’s a consumer platform, consumer phenomenon of which search is its fundamental activity, but there are many other things you can do than search.

“I think of Google as an advertising company who services the broader advertising industry in the ways that you know. And the first and the second are inter-related.

“The third is I think of us as a network of partners and infrastructure. I don’t know how many billions of dollars we hand to everybody. But by the time you look at the publishers, the use of AdSense and so forth, it’s literally billions of dollars going through Google and to other people which we hope fund additional software, additional web applications, additional content and so forth and we care a lot about that.

“And then I also think of Google as a cultural phenomenon in and of itself, you know, the lava lamps and the way in which Google is run and so forth. That’s how I like to think about it.

“Larry and Sergey and I had a strategy meeting five years ago. . . .

I said, OK, well, let’s write down our strategy. We never really had a strategy. And so Sergey basically got up and said, ‘Our job is to do things that matter to the world at scale and it should just boom, boom, boom like that.’ And that became our strategy.”

Store Wars Safeway’s shiny new ‘Market’ is being touted as a boon to downtown—just blocks from San Jose’s own Zanotto’s

By Jessica Fromm 50-PERSON queue snakes through the buzzing aisles of The Market in downtown San Jose. It’s the brandnew grocery store’s opening night, and a huge crowd of businessmen in button-downs, college kids in flipflops and a few seniors have turned out to investigate Safeway’s new flagship urban grocery store.

Wandering the aisles with eyes open wide, toting bags full of halfpriced pasta and bananas or pushing carts filled with rotisserie chicken and artisan bread, a mob has packed the 24,000-square-foot store.

“Oh. My. God. They have

everything here. I don’t have to go to Target anymore,” exclaims one pony-tailed college-age woman in jean shorts and a strappy tank. She is flanked by three nearly identical friends, each sipping a tall Tully’s bellaccino as they loll around the highly polished concrete floors, grabbing up a plethora of markeddown goods.

Located on the ground floor of The 88, a new high-rise condominium building at the corner of San Fernando and Second streets, this is not the Safeway of sprawling white linoleum, blinding fluorescent lighting and rows upon

Instead, organic produce sits on marked kiosks next to maps showing exactly where the fruit or veggie was picked. Recessed and natural lighting illuminates the store’s large food court–style cafe area, which includes oven-fired pizza, a yogurt bar, a sandwich station, a Tully’s coffeehouse, fresh meat counter, deli, bakery and an impressive wine section.

Pushing an industrial-size broom around the store’s well-worn linoleum, Lindsey Doneilo, Zanotto’s front-of-store manager, watches the aisles carefully. She explains that she’s making sure that Safeway employees are not spying on the 13-year-old family grocer’s ideas.

“They’ve been coming in all day,” she says. “They’re dressed really nice, they write stuff down and don’t buy anything,” says the exasperated young woman, who at first mistook this reporter for an agent of the competition.

Zanotto’s employees are worried about The Market opening up less than a block away. At one time, the small family-run grocery bragged that big-box supermarkets like Safeway could never lure away their health- and environmentally aware core customers. They are now finding themselves eating their words.

When Zanotto’s first arrived in downtown San Jose in 1996, it was welcomed with the kind of zeal now being shown for its new corporate competition. Based in San Jose, Zanotto’s helped pioneer the market-style grocery store, offering its customers higher-quality produce, fine wines, a range of imported and gourmet items and a well-stocked deli.

“I used to be able to sit back and say, ‘Well, those big guys will never do what we do,’” says Troy Tibbils, owner of Zanotto’s Downtown Market since it opened. “I think we said too much, because somewhere along the line they realized that people just want to be able to run up to the corner sometimes, rather then going to a 50,000-square-foot facility. &'

“That was our biggest competitive edge, and clearly they are seeing that as something that is attractive to them now.”

In fact, The Market is just the beginning of Safeway’s campaign to transform its image and expand into cities that have been so far untapped by mainstream chain food retailers.

Independent grocers like Zanotto’s have long had an upper hand on the food shopping of urbanites because they could occupy smaller stores and provide more specialized, ready-togo service.

Now, Safeway Inc. is rebranding its new city locations as “The Market.” If its San Jose prototype store is a success, the Fortune 50 company has plans to roll out several more concept urban-marketplaces around the country.

Tibbils says that since The Market project was announced, he’s seen Safeway employees in and out of his store looking for ideas and pricing. “They’ve spent a considerable amount of hours in our store in different stages,” he says. “I don’t think by any means they developed their concept based exactly on what we are doing. But, I think they probably figure we have a very large part of the market share, so they want to find out whatever they have to do to have a competitive edge.”

Susan Houghton, director of Public and Government Affairs for Safeway Inc., said that she was not aware of any Safeway employees taking ideas or pricing cues from Zanotto’s.

“Our pricing is set at a national level, so there would really be no reason for us to go over there and take a look at them,” she says.

It’s not a coincidence that the $44 billion Pleasanton-based company is opening its second flagship store in a plum spot at the bottom of San Jose’s swankest new residential tower (the first Market opened late last year in Long Beach).

Seth Bland, a principal for The 88’s developer Wilson Meany Sullivan, says his company spearheaded the effort to bring The Market to San Jose because they believed a new grocery store would be a key to the city’s downtown renaissance.

He says the company rejected the idea of bringing a restaurant into the retail space on the ground floor of The 88. “It would have been easier,” Bland says, “but that’s not our perspective in the long run. We’re not here for the path of least resistance.”

Bland says that he first saw the potential of an urban Safeway at the company’s mixeduse condo complex The Beacon, across the street from AT&T Park in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood. There, Wilson Meany Sullivan brought in a small-scale, higher-end Safeway that proved to be such a big success that Bland says it ultimately prompted Safeway Inc. to develop “The Market” concept store.

“We do try to take a longer view, and the grocery [in San Jose] was certainly a challenge because of the integration necessary with the parking garage,” says Bland, referring to The 88’s 330-space underground parking complex.

“But this was the right thing to do to benefit the entire downtown.” (The city of San Jose spent $1.85 million to install elevators in the garage.)

Residents began moving into The 88 last May. As the housing market continues to slowly recover, the tower has been averaging around four sales a week of its 197 luxury condo units.

On the afternoon of Aug. 27, Mayor Chuck Reed, downtown Councilmember Sam Liccardo and other city leaders celebrated The Market’s official ribbon cutting. Bland said that the speeches hadn’t even come to a close when customers started pushing grocery carts into the store.

Longtime downtown grocer Tibbils worries that as the city enthusiastically welcomes big chains with deep pockets, it is are overlooking home-grown independent businesses.

“Look around,” Tibbils says. “We’re getting a new Ross, but Black Sea [Gallery] is moving out. We get a new Billy Berk’s, but A.P. Stump’s closes. We are getting a new Safeway, but does that mean Zanotto’s won’t be here anymore?”

Now that the city is finally banking on a future that includes a critical mass of San Jose urban dwellers, Tibbils feels that he and his compatriots are getting left in the redevelopment dust.

“Its terribly sad if those pioneers, if you will, who were the cornerstones to this bigger [redevelopment] picture, get trampled in the process, which is potentially what could happen to us,” he says.

Since We’re Neighbors . . .

Houghton says that Safeway is counting on there being enough business to support both Zanotto’s and The Market. “Our goal is to provide different types of things in The Market that you can’t necessarily get at other stores. So, I think they fill different voids,” she says.

Bland agrees. “We still think that there is room for everybody. Downtown San Jose is not a small environment, and there will be people who have preferences in terms of their shopping experiences,” he says.

Customer loyalty is a fickle thing in the current economy, and Tibbils is unsure if Zanotto’s can split its business in the long run with The Market.

“The problem is that about half of what we do is almost exactly the same as what they do,” he says. “How long can we afford to split that half with a company that has a lot more resources and frankly seem to be coming at us?”

But for the time being Zanotto’s is focusing on figuring out what its role will be in the future in the new downtown grocery landscape.

“This is a big challenge in a market that is not already overwhelming, so we’re just going to have to wait and see what happens,” Tibbils says. “We’re never going to be able to go toe to toe and sell Tide for less then them, or Coke for less then them. But, the things we’ve done that are different and unique, that has always been enough.” M

On the

Ledg

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy’s rock primitivism made him a hero to everyone from David Bowie to the Clash to the Cramps. Can a new push to document the career of the man known as the Ledge restore Silicon Valley’s most intriguing cult music figure to his rightful place in rock history? By Steve Palopoli May 2003 KLAUS FLOURIDE has learned to expect anything from the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, San Jose’s best-kept cult-music secret. Most famous as a founding member of revered Bay Area punk band the Dead Kennedys, Flouride has been playing bass since 1997 for the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, or “The Ledge,” as he’s known to most of his friends and acquaintances.

Along with guitarist Jay Rosen and drummer Joey Meyers, Flouride is one of the Altamont Boys—not just the Legendary Stardust Cowboy band but also an inner circle of the Cult of Ledge. It is not a place for the weak of heart.

“We were playing at the Blank Club a few years back, and we were about two-thirds of the way through the set,” remembers Flouride.

“Ledge does this thing sometimes where he’ll leave the stage, and Joey and Jay and I will jam for a while waiting for him to come back. Then we’ll probably do a couple more songs. But this time at the Blank Club, he left out the front, and we’re playing for a minute or two, and then we’re playing for five minutes waiting for him. When’s he going to come back?

And the door guy comes up and says ‘You know, the dude just got in his car and drove off.’”

December 1971 DAVID BOWIE goes into Trident Studios in London’s Soho District to record “Ziggy Stardust,” the title track for what will be his first hit album. Ziggy Stardust is not just the main character of the concept album, but the first and most lasting of many stage personas that seem almost inseparable from Bowie himself.

The character’s first name is a play on “Iggy,” as in Iggy Pop, and “zipper.” The last name he takes from the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Bowie had first discovered the Legendary Stardust Cowboy just a couple of years earlier, when he 17

signed to Mercury Records for his U.S. distribution. A rep for the label gave him a box of Mercury-released 45s, which included three by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy: “Paralyzed,” along with “Kiss and Run” and “I Took a Trip (in a Gemini Spaceship).”

“He took ’em back home to London and listened to them, and he flipped out,” the Ledge says. “He became a huge fan.”

In 2002, Bowie releases the album Heathen, which contains three covers: “Cactus,” originally by the Pixies, Neil Young’s “I’ve Been Waiting for You” and “I Took a Trip (in a Gemini Spaceship).”

“I like the musical background with brass instruments,” the Ledge says of Bowie’s cover. “I like his version better than mine. On mine, that was T-Bone Burnett playing the xylophone and the organ and some other instruments. I recorded with a dobro, singing it, and he played the instruments one at a time at Delta Recording Studio in Fort Worth.”

Bowie and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy finally meet in June of 2002, at a festival; the moment is captured by filmmaker Tony Philputt, director of the as-yet-unfinished Legendary Stardust Cowboy documentary, Cotton Pickin’ Smash.

Worth, where he recorded his lasting legacy as rock music’s most extreme wild man: the absolutely insane 1968 hit “Paralyzed.” He has lived in San Jose since 1989.

He hands me the newest issue of Cowboy and Indian magazine; inside is an obituary for Texas music luminary and longtime Kris Kristofferson guitarist Stephen Bruton, who died on May 9 at age 60, after a battle with throat cancer.

“Read the whole thing,” he says. “Then I’ll talk.”

I do. The obit calls Bruton “the soul of Texas music.” It’s a well-written tribute. I naturally think it is also a lead-in to a story about Bruton, but I don’t yet know the Ledge.

The first thing I notice about him, though, is his incredible memory for dates.

Every story he tells is anchored securely to a month and year. The second thing I notice is that his two favorite words are “but anyway,” which is his way of jumping quickly through any number of topics that seem random at first, but generally seem to come back around to the original topic.

I am fast discovering that one doesn’t exactly have a conversation with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Will Sprott of the Mumlers will later tell me, “It’s always sort of like letting him wash over you.”

After I’ve finished reading the article, he launches into what will be an hour and a half of sun-drenched, nearly uninterrupted free association. “The last time I saw

The heat does not, however, bother the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, perhaps because he grew up in Lubbock in West Texas, a region that practically has a lock on oppressive heat. It is 269 miles away from Fort

Stephen Bruton was August of ’84, in Vegas, because I lived in Vegas for a while,” he begins. “But anyway . . .”

October 1968 The Legendary Stardust Cowboy’s story about Stephen Bruton turns out to be the story of his first record, “Paralyzed.” The legend—in this rare case the same as the true story—goes like this: The Legendary Stardust Cowboy leaves Lubbock to find stardom, but only gets as far as Fort Worth.

However, two vacuum cleaner salesmen discover him playing on top of his car.

Impressed by his outrageous style, they take him the very next day into a recording studio. The studio just happens to be run

by T-Bone Burnett, who will soon go on to fame as a performer, Texas music producer and supervising genius behind soundtracks such as O Brother, Where Art Thou? Both the Ledge and Burnett are only 21 years old when Burnett records him, playing drums on “Paralyzed” and various instruments on other songs.

“Steve Bruton’s father played drums in a jazz band six nights a week in various places around Fort Worth for years and years and years before he passed away,” says the Ledge.

“His mother’s still living, and his older brother’s still living. But anyway, Frank Henderson, the recording engineer, used to work in a Hollywood recording studio, and he used to record Sonny and Cher and a long list of people. And he said when Elvis came around, he had everybody out

of there and security guards on the outside of the building. Nobody around for a long way. That’s what he wanted.

“But anyway, with T-Bone Burnett I recorded 54 songs in one days, that were slowly peeled away over the years and put on other recordings. A couple months after June Carter Cash died, Johnny Cash went in the studio and he recorded 50 songs in one day. I’ve got him beat by a few more songs.

“I played the dobro, Frank Henderson’s dobro, ’cause I busted my guitar back in Lubbock. And boy, T-Bone Burnett was just hog wild. He was orbiting the moon.

“Frank Henderson told me that he had kept telling T-Bone Burnett, ‘Some day, somebody’s going to walk in here and blow this place away with an exciting song.’ And I was the one. I had written

Norman Carl Odam is born in Lubbock.

As a child, he is captivated by two things above all else: The Old West and the promise of space travel. He quickly discovers he is not like other kids and gets in touch with a hyperactive nature that will fuel his crazed performances for decades.

“I’ve got ADHD. I’ve had it all my life.

That’s why I’ve got the energy for what I do onstage,” he says. “You’ve got to have energy in show business. I was born hyperactive.

It used to drive my parents crazy. I’d be in the kitchen wham-wham-wham, slamming the doors. I felt great! The louder the better.

I was all pumped up. I don’t have to take caffeine or drugs, it’s just natural. It’s hard to control, it really is.”

After taking guitar lessons at 16, and mastering the bugle, the kazoo and the rub board, as well, he became known for playing everywhere around town—on the school steps every morning, at the drive-in.

He learned to yodel listening to Jimmie Rodgers, and perfected the rebel yell and Indian calls that would explode into his songs. He officially became the first space cowboy when he picked his now-famous stage name.

“I thought I was a legend in my own time,” he says of coming up with the name.

“I was thinking of cowboys and space, and I put the two together. I wrote a musical when I was 19, a 19-song musical to be put into a two-hour animated film, like Walt Disney would do, about what the Legendary Stardust Cowboy is about. He flies on Pegasus, his horse, and he’s got a talking four-leaf clover on his lapel. He shoots stardust from his gun, he travels through outer space, to Mars and Earth and what have you, on Pegasus. The name of the movie is There’s Stardust in Your Hair.”

Down the side of his car, a 1961 Chevy Biscayne, he wrote “Three hundred million miles from Mars. NASA presents the Legendary Stardust Cowboy” in red spray paint. He hung out with Joe Ely, a highschool buddy who would go on to fame in the Flatlanders and in his solo career.

“We were hippies,” Ledge recalls.

“Hippies, you know, back in the hippie movement. I had long hair. Joe Ely looked like an Indian, with his dark black hair and buckskin pants. I had a buckskin coat with fringe, he did, too. This is before we hit the big time. We had no idea what was going to happen. We’d just jump out there and do it. I’d jump out in the street.”

THE LEDGE 18

February 2008 The San Jose band the Mumlers release their debut album, Thickets and Stitches, which features a guest performance by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

“Just growing up in San Jose, I heard little stories here and there about this guy, and I sought him out,” says the band’s frontman, Will Sprott. “I went and got his CD at Streetlight. When you hear that there’s somebody like that in San Jose, I’m fascinated and I want to know everything I can about him. I felt like there was this jewel I discovered. I think he’s one of those people where you either love it or you hate it. I definitely loved it. I just said, ‘Holy shit, this is incredible.’”

Two vacuum cleaner salesmen discover him playing on top of his car. Impressed by his outrageous style, they take him the very next day into a recording studio.

The studio just happens to be run by T-Bone Burnett.

Sprott found that the more he looked into it, the deeper the legend became. “I started meeting all the people who know him. Like Andrew Pejack, who’s just a really interesting guy. And Joey Meyers, he’s a character, too. I felt like I was unearthing this whole secret side of music in San Jose. Then I met the man himself, and he’s definitely not somebody who blows it when you meet him. When you meet him, it just gets better.”

The band hoped to capture a few bugle blasts from the Ledge, and Pejack— another member of the Ledge inner circle who runs his official fan site on Myspace—advised Sprott that the best way to approach him was to write a fan letter.

Which he did.

“The first time I met him, he talked almost exclusively in rhyme,” says Sprott.

“We were recording him at my friend’s

house and he says, “Will Kill! You wrote me a letter!” He just walked in, and we pretty much got straight down to business.

That’s why I believe that he easily recorded 54 songs in one day. He walked in never having heard one of our songs and had lyrics for five songs straightaway, from beginning to end. I came in to try to get him to record bugle, and he would alternate between bugle and his own lyrics sung right over our songs. He’s just an endless stream, he can keep going and going. We did five songs, and he was ready to do 10 more.”

In the end, the Mumlers were able to use roughly five seconds of what the Ledge had recorded. “We wanted to use more,” says Sprott, “but we couldn’t use any of his words, ’cause they went right over the words in the songs. I guess the honest answer is none of it went with anything we were recording.”

Pejack was at that session, as well.

“Will told me, ‘This could be an entire album on its own.’ They just wanted a couple of bugle blasts, but he would start rapping into the mic,” he says. “Just to listen to Norman improvise like that for 90 minutes was amazing. It was a really magical recording session. You could feel the energy.”

October 1989 Big Beat Records releases the compilation Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease, featuring nearly the entire pantheon of rock wild men, from Hasil Adkins to the Trashmen to the Sonics to Jimmy Dickinson.

A few years later, I stumble upon this album while doing my habitual college-era combing of record-store bins, and it gives me my introduction to the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. The version of “Paralyzed” on the record isn’t even the original, but it still sounds crazier and more dangerous—yet more primal and liberating—than anything else on the track list, even among this psycho bunch.

However, it’s really the original version of “Paralyzed” that makes it clear what all the fuss was about. On the 1968 single, the Stardust Cowboy delivers what has got to be considered the most harrowing vocal in the history of rock music.

The opening verse is said to be something like “I’ve got a gal/ Way across town/ She won’t come to see me/ ’Til I pull my shades down.” What it sounds like, as hollered by the Ledge, is better described as “AYYYAAAAAGGGAAAA! WAAAAHASSHHHA! ILSHABOOSHYA!” At certain points, he squawks roughly to the beat like an eagle on PCP. The instruments fall all over themselves in the two-minute race to the finish. And there 22

THE LEDGE 21 is that famous bugle solo. There has never been anything like it, before or since.

However, a deeper listen to the Ledge’s catalog (he didn’t release a proper album until 1984’s Rock-It to Stardom) reveals a fascinating body of work that goes much deeper than the “novelty” tag he has often been saddled with would suggest.

“To me, ‘Paralyzed’ isn’t his best song, it’s just the most well-known,” says Pejack.

“I maintain that the all-time best rock & roll scream is Norman on the song ‘Linda.’

And if you listen to his primal howls on ‘Dynamite,’ it blows away anything Roger Daltrey ever did.”

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy claims to have written more space songs than anyone else, and he may be right (although Sun Ra fans might disagree). He calls them “spacedelic music,” which is actually rather fitting when you listen to something like “I Took a Trip (in a Gemini Spaceship)”, my personal Ledge favorite. Chilly and hushed, almost spooky, it’s a completely different side of the Ledge than “Paralyzed.”

By the way, the Ledge remembers that compilation well.

“There was a band on there that was trying to get me on, the Cramps,” he says.

“The Cramps were big fans of mine, and they were instrumental in getting me on that.”

The best new way to meet singles!

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy makes his television debut on Laugh-In, the No. 1 show in the country at the time—watched by 20 million people.

“Welcome the discovery of the week, I want you to meet him,” Dan Rowan tells Dick Martin on the air. They walk over to the Ledge, who’s wearing a giant white cowboy hat, buckskin jacket and bright yellow pants. “Dick, this is the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Legendary Stardust Cowboy, this is Dick.”

Within seconds, the Ledge is yelling the lyrics to “Paralyzed,” high-stepping and dragging his boots and spurs around the stage. There are several cuts to Martin, looking perplexed as he watches.

“That’s quite a number,” Martin says afterward. “You never heard anything like that, did you?” asks Rowan. “I’m not sure I heard that one,” Martin replies.

By the time he breaks into “Who’s Knocking on My Door?” Martin is dancing; in fact, the whole cast storms the stage. At the end, the Ledge runs off. There’s been much debate over the years about whether Rowan and Martin really “got it,” but the Ledge remembers that appearance now as a highlight of his career.

“I saw Liberace tape his show before I taped mine,” he says. “He stuck around to see me tape my show. And he told my drummer, who at that time was dressed up like an Indian—called himself Chief

Sitting Bull—Liberace says, ‘I know where the Legendary Stardust Cowboy is coming from. He’s got a million-dollar act.’”

What the Ledge says next offers a rare insight into his normally inscrutable approach to his act. He’s often described as “outsider music,” and lumped in with Daniel Johnston or Wild Man Fischer. But people often forget that the Ledge is also a trained actor, and while Norman Odam may be separated from the Ledge by only a few degrees of personality, it’s criminal to overlook the craft he has put into one of the most memorable personas in rock history.

‘I felt like I was unearthing this whole secret side of music in San Jose. Then I met the man himself, and he’s definitely not somebody who blows it when you meet him. When you meet him, it just gets better.’

—WILL SPROTT OF THE MUMLERS

“All these different novelties and stuff you throw in to get people’s attention,” he says.

“And then you hit ’em with the real thing.”

June 2009 Andrew Pejack’s band Beachkreig—which is best described as “Imperial Germany meets surf tiki Hawaii” and has a very Ledge-like theatrical stage show—shares the stage with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy at the Blank Club, and for Pejack it’s a true honor.

He’s known the man for several years, ever since KFJC DJ Mike Destiny, who knew Pejack was an able mechanic, asked him to give the Ledge’s car a look.

[24] COVER STORY

THE LEDGE 23

(EALDæ3TUDENT

“Norman came over in a beat-up old ’80s car, and I worked on it in the driveway,” he says. “After that, whenever he’d hear a noise, he’d come over and say, ‘What do you think about this noise under the hood?’ He’s kind of paranoid when it comes to his car.”

The two bonded, and the Ledge now calls him his “right-hand man.”

Endearingly, he’s also the only member of the inner circle who always calls him “Norman.”

At certain points, he squawks roughly to the beat like an eagle on PCP. The instruments fall all over themselves in the two-minute race to the finish.

And there is that famous bugle solo.

There has never been anything like it, before or since.

“We just got to be friends, more as Norman than the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. He’s just a lot of fun to be around,” says Pejack.

Pejack marvels at his unique approach to life and music. “I see him as the Rain Man of rock,” he says. “The way his brain works, to me that’s the most amazing thing about Norman. He can instantly pun and rhyme.

Even his phone messages are so hilarious, they’re like works of art. I’m like, ‘I can’t erase this!’ Sometimes I don’t answer the phones just so he’ll leave a message, then I call him back.”

Pejack isn’t shy about his belief that the Ledge has never gotten his due for his contribution to rock & roll: “He’s a living national treasure. There’s nothing like him.

At first, it’s like ‘This is crazy.’ But if you stick with it long enough, you realize the brilliance.”

Pejack was impressed by the 2005 documentary about Wild Man Fischer, Derailroaded, and he wants the Stardust Cowboy to have a tribute of that caliber, too.

“He’s way more interesting than Wild Man Fischer, and more important as a musical influence. The Ramones were fans, the Clash. He jammed with Camper Van Beethoven.”

Klaus Flouride agrees the Ledge hasn’t gotten a fair shake.

“It was bad management, a lot of it,” says Flouride. “His goals are ‘What we have to do is get on network television, we have to get on The Tonight Show. When he was first saying that to me in the ’90s, it was like, ‘That’s not a realistic goal.’ But since then, it’s changed. There is a possibility, with Conan O’Brien and Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel. Especially Ferguson, I know he’s an old punker himself, so he’s probably got the Kennedys’ records.

And he may very well, because he’s so crazy, know about the Ledge. To get on something like that might not be that much of a stretch.”

More importantly, Flouride and other members of the Ledge’s circle have made a push to get a Legendary Stardust Cowboy career retrospective released. They’ve been working with Cherry Red Records in the U.K., who have negotiated with Universal Music and others for the rights to rerelease the songs.

“When Bowie met Ledge at the festival, Bowie said to Joey, ‘Whatever I can do for you guys,” Flouride says.

The Ledge believes he could be rediscovered at any minute, and his friends agree.

“We want to keep him going,” says Flouride. “We want more and more people to find out about him. We want him to be able to do it as long as he wants to. There’s always people who want to see him. We’d like to get him to record more stuff. And we’re trying to get this compilation thing together. We’re his fans. The thing that’s cool is that he likes this band, and he considers us all friends.”

July 2009 After an hour and a half in the sun, I’m feeling a little woozy. The Ledge is drinking a Red Bull. Suddenly, he leans into my tape recorder: “Is it still rolling? How to win a date with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

Send your letters to the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, P.O. Box 730742, San Jose, CA 95173. I will read all your letters, and send a picture of yourself, too. I’ll pick out the one I would like to have a date with. You will be the winner. Men need not apply.”

Then he smiles as he turns to walk away: “That’s it. That’s a wrap.” M

Row Show

HIC WINTER WEAR will be front and center at H6CI6C6 GDL next week, when the residential shopping complex throws its ďŹ fth annual ;6AA ;6H=>DC >C I=: E6G@ runway show on Sept. 11â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12. Crowds looking to indulge in some high-end retail therapy this fall will see professional models strut down the catwalk, ďŹ&#x201A;aunting the best of the upcoming autumn seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold-weather collections. Row retailers = B! 9DC6A9 EA>C:G! D6@A:N! 7DJI>FJ: =6G6?J@J and the 7AJ:H ?:6C 76G will all have lines shown.

The event will beneďŹ t several South Bay nonproďŹ ts, including Breathe California, Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley and Junior League of San Jose, as well as the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce.

New to Fall Fashion in the Park this year will be sporty hipster boutique N"(, which opened up its doors in the retail neighborhood on Stevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek last July. A collaboration between German athletic brand Adidas and Japanese haute couture designer Yohji Yamamoto, Y-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter 2009 line features a unique mix of East and West. A favorite of celebrities like Kanye West, Y-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s styles incorporate origamilike draping and high-end fabrics into traditional sportswear basics, like sweatpants and zip hoodies, all accented by hints of the Adidas classic triple stripe. Though Y-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-tops are coveted worldwide by sneakerholics, their womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wear collection is particularly dernier cri this season, focusing on slim, body-hugging bottoms accented with oversize baggy sweaters and outerwear. The garments at Y-3 are a unique interpretation of classy urban wear that shoppers should look forward to seeing on the runway. Oakley, another sportscentric Row brand, will send several outďŹ ts down the catwalk that highlight the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new approach to color this winter, with menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wear featuring bright pops of electric blues, neon greens and mind-bending 3-D prints.

Boutique Harajuku will show a more avant-garde sensibility at the show, putting a spotlight on some of the major trends for fall 2009, including big â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s shoulders, supertight leatherlook pants, tuxedo jackets and oversize chunky rings and accessories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jean-leggings,â&#x20AC;? the term for the new trend of ultraďŹ tted denim, will be front and center in the show by the Rowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Blues Jean Bar. As with last year, mouth-watering designer heels and handbags will be supplied by ;DDI 86C9N and couture eyewear by HJC<A6HH DC I=: GDL. Jessica Fromm FALL FASHION IN THE PARK shows take place Friday (Sept. 11) at noon and 6pm and Sunday (Sept. 12) at 2 and 6pm at Santana Row Park (in front of Left Bank Brasserie), Winchester and Stevens Creek boulevards, San Jose. Tickets are $40â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$60, visit Santanarow.com or call the Concierge Center at 408.551.4611 for more information.

With upscale comfort food, Roland Passot turns Tanglewood into LB Steak

S

ANTANA ROWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Tanglewood restaurant has morphed into LB Steak. Both past and present establishments are the work of Roland Passot, the French-born chef behind the Bay Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three successful Left Bank restaurants (LBâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Left Bank.

Get it?). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure why Tanglewood folded, but somehow, the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on seasonal American fare made from local ingredients didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resonate.

I liked the place, and I liked it better than its replacement. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a sucker for shoutouts to local farms and seasonally hinged menus, because I think they encourage us to think about the source and rationale for the food on the plate.

As Passot tweaked the concept for the restaurant, he stripped away those seasonal and more interesting elements, kept some of the American standards (iceberg lettuce salad, lobster roll, grilled salmon), upped the number of steaks and burgers, applied a thin veneer of Frenchiness and added a few pasta dishes to make sure all the bases were covered. The result is yet another purveyor of upscale comfort food, something Silicon Valley already has in large supply. While the new venture has its attractions, the effort to appeal to a wider audience has dulled LB Steak down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good, but pretty forgettable, too.

A few changes to the visual landscape were made. The chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

table was moved to the sidewalk side, and the lobby is more loungelike.

Chandeliers were hung. The darkwood interior is still handsome. The outdoor patio and cozy bar tucked into one corner are just as appealing as before, while the contrast of the stainless-steel kitchen and cooks dressed in starched whites emits a bright glow at the back of the restaurant. The kitchen entrance still has those automatic sliding glass doors, minus the stripes. I imagine they burst open with a Star Trek â&#x20AC;&#x153;shushkâ&#x20AC;? every time someone approaches. The doors allow the restaurant to have both an open kitchen and an open front that would otherwise be prohibited under health codes.

Starters are a mixed bag. The escargot ($15) packed into the shaft of a beef-shank bone with plenty of fatty marrow goodness and laced with Pernod-accented garlic butter is a creative take on the French bistro standard. Standing upright on the plate, it looked cool, too. The plump and wonderfully fresh seared scallops ($14.95) were expertly crisped outside and juicy inside. The dribble of chanterelle mushroom butter sauce played off the savory richness perfectly.

The strangely pale, salty-savory French onion soup ($6.95) is winner, too.

The iceberg wedge salad ($8.50) is topped with thick bacon, sliced red tomatoes and a creamy dressing made

from Pt. Reyes blue cheese. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good enough but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand apart from similar versions available elsewhere.

The heirloom-tomato salad ($9.50) was good, with a purĂŠe of avocado hiding underneath piquant arugula.

Dijon mustardâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;braised pork belly with smoked tomato jus ($9.95) sounded good on paper but ended up tasting like a hulking piece of pork with a sweetish barbecue sauce.

While LB Steak aims to be a Francotinged steakhouse, there were ďŹ ve seafood choices on the dinner menu when I visited. The slow-roasted sea bass ($26.75) served with an appealing jumble of squash and tomatoes and a dollop of pistou (the French version of pesto) is a simple what-you-see-is-whatyou-get dish. That means it was good and well prepared, but I forgot about it the minute it was gone. I was glad to see the lobster roll ($19.50) is still on the lunch menu. It was a standout at Tanglewood, and while the mayo was applied a little too heavily, the roll still makes a satisfying sandwich.

Beef comprises half of the menu.

The prime-cut steaks come with a choice of sauce (green peppercorn, red wine, horseradish cream, etc.). The 12-ounce rib eye ($29.50) was cooked to my specs and ďŹ&#x201A;avorful and juicy and all that, but after a few bites became just another steak, the likes of which you can get at a half-dozen places within 15 minutes of LB Steak.

I liked the 8-ounce skirt steak ($23) better. Not only is it cheaper, but I think the thinner, equally tender cut of beef produces a richer, beeďŹ er ďŹ&#x201A;avor.

LB Steak serves a number of fancy burgers with premium ingredients. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind paying more for a wellcrafted burger, and my â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rivieraâ&#x20AC;? burger ($12.75) was just that. Topped with pancetta, arugula, a thick slice of tomato and a swipe of pistou and served on a well-toasted bun, it was certainly gussied up but was still an honest and thoroughly satisfying burger. Both the shatteringly crisp yet somehow greaseless onions rings ($3.75) and slender, golden pommes frites scored as well.

In contrast with the mixed quality of the food, service at both my visits was top-notch. I had the same waiter both times, and he knew the menu well, paced the meal perfectly and seemed to glide to the table just when we needed him.

Desserts are ďŹ ne but nothing special. I liked the buttery chocolate ĂŠclair ($7) best. The berry cobbler with vanilla gelato and raspberry Madeleine (both $7) will satisfy a sweet tooth in a pinch. Sometimes, a satisfactory, not bad, perfectly ďŹ ne meal is OK. But when I spend $25 or more on an entree, I want something more, and at LB Steak not bad isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough.

Pinot on A Leash

INE TASTING is a social pursuitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in theory, anyway. In reality, tastings are often very private affairs, with couples and small groups that stick mostly to themselves. Even a fair amount of imbibing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guaranteed to bring together the cliques in a room packed with wine lovers.

The BDJCI6>C L>C:GN in Saratoga has come up with a novel way to break the ice.

People love dogs. Dogs love each other. People love to talk about how their dogs love each other. One is likely to see more instant friendships in a dog park than at a wine bar. So, they reasoned, why not bring the dog park to the wine bar? Or in this case, to the wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hilltop grounds. Mountain Winery held its ďŹ rst E:IH 6C9 E>CDI event last month, and got enough of a turnout (and positive feedback) that two more have already been planned: Sunday, Sept. 13, 11:30amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;3:30pm, and Sunday, Oct. 11, noonâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;5pm.

The idea is simple: wine lovers who bring their pets get a free pour of pinot (which is where the event name comes from, in case anyone was worried that Baron von Schnauzerface is getting liquored up against his will). Other than that, the wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal tasting fees apply: $8.50 for the reserve series (cab, chardonnay, merlot, oldvine zin) and $12 for estate wines (chardonnay and pinot).

This mixing of fur and ďŹ&#x201A;ights is the ďŹ rst such event Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of, but Mountain Wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager ?D6C A:B6=>:J says the idea just came up in a staff brainstorming session and seemed like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fun experiment.â&#x20AC;? For the ďŹ rst event, Los Gatosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 7DL LDLO:GH made up doggie bags for visiting pets, including dog treats shaped like wine bottles. Next time, says LeMahieu, the Bay Area dog club HD8>:IN 9D< will be bringing 40 or so of their members along, as well. And though so far the event has been the exclusive turf of dogs, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;petsâ&#x20AC;? part really is an open invitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people want to bring their parrot, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just ďŹ ne,â&#x20AC;? says LeMahieu.

ELCOME to Dining Debuts, a new monthly feature that will spotlight new and soon-to-open Silicon Valley restaurants.

8NEGJH 7>HIGD 6C9 86;: replaces Good Tastes wine bar and serves an appealing menu of Mediterranean food and a beyond-typical wine list that features several organic and vegan wines. A vegan wine, by the way, is one that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t not have egg whitesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some winemakers use egg white to clarify their wines.

Down the street from Cyprus is 8=68=DĂ&#x2030;H I6FJ:G>6, a new low-priced Mexican restaurant conveniently located next to the Cardiff Lounge that brings tacos, burritos and other taqueria standards to downtown Campbell. Chacoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, you might remember, used to be located in downtown San Jose, but has now moved.

CHEF SPOTLIGHT

Tuyen Chung

T

UYEN CHUNG came to the United States from Vietnam as a teenager, by way of mainland China and Hong Kong. He started cooking in his mother’s restaurant more than 25 years ago, honing his technique until he was ready to open his own restaurant, Fu Kee, a small selfservice Asian Pacific Rim spot, in 1997, soon after getting married. He then opened the first <>C<:G 86;: in Gilroy (8657 San Ysidro Ave.) in 2004, seeking to push his food and creativity to another level. He followed on the success of the first Ginger Cafe, which still thrives today, with a second outpost in Sunnyvale in February of 2007.

Chung’s unique approach involves ingredients and flavors from Southeast Asia. This delicious and complex style stems from history, where migration brought Chinese food into new places, where it mingled with local ingredients and tastes that resulting in new twists on traditional dishes. While Ginger Cafe’s menu is rooted in Chinese cuisine, it is broadened, flavored and inspired by Chung’s travels through Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore. Today, the hybrid food found at Ginger Cafe is a reflection of the Chung and his team’s creativity and attention to local palates; it is also the result of team work from front of the house staffs and his kitchen crews.

Stett Holbrook Chef Spotlight is a regularly occurring feature leading up to Silicon Valley Restaurant Week, Oct. 14–21.

Each week, I will profile a chef involved in SVRW. For more information about the event, please go to www.siliconvalleyrestaurantweek.com.

MACLA’s 20th anniversary fete leads the way on a busy night of art and happenings for South First Fridays

HIS MONTH’S South First Fridays event is also a birthday party for one of the mainstays of the SoFA District arts scene. In 1989, the euphoniously named Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana, a.k.a. MACLA, was founded—by Maribel Alvarez, Rick Sajor and Eva Terrazas—after concentrated advocacy by activists who wanted San Jose’s urban renewal plans to include a commitment to multicultural arts.

A physical space on the 500 block of South First Street followed, dedicated to showcasing Latino visual artists, poets and performing groups.

Over the years, MACLA has become a fertile seed bank for both local and international artists. A memorable show in the 1990s, for instance, featured the remarkable painted pâpier-maché figures and skulls of the Linares family, master folk artists from Mexico. More recently, MACLA started its “Chicana/ o Biennial,” a group show exposing the ideas and visions of young and midcareer Chicano artists.

MACLA puts on about 50 programs annually, among them youth-slam poetry workshops; theatrical residencies by visiting

troupes like L.A. dyke performance artists Butchlalis; plays (including a natural collaboration with Teatro Visión); cultural exchanges between artists and writers; a memorable Cholo Film series; a Latino poetry conference known as the Floricanto Festival; and a Spic Core Festival for Spanish-language punk rockers.

A good example of how far out of the box MACLA likes to think came in 2005, when the group helped spruce up the nondescript Laundromat at the corner of Second and William streets and screened movies there. As MACLA’s thendirector Tamara Alvarado told Metro’s Gary Singh: “We started doing focus groups in the neighborhood, and said, ‘What d’ya all wanna see in your neighborhood?’ and how can we serve as a connector between the different types of residents that live [here] now as opposed to 10 years ago?”

MACLA’s shows have always aimed to be provocative, frequently dealing with the flash points of the U.S./Mexican border, the immigration debate and identity politics. Two of the edgier artists to show at MACLA are the glass-blowing de la Torre brothers, whose shows

in the ’90s did a lot to establish their burgeoning reputations. This Friday sees the opening of their latest exhibit, “La Reconquista,” for which MACLA commissioned a mixed-media installation that tackles on many fronts the whole idea of what it means to conquer and be conquered, starting with Cortes and the Aztecs and moving right on up to globalization.

This busy night for MACLA starts at 6pm and includes a performance by the L.A. Chicano-rock band Quetzal, hands-on activities, the Aztec dancers Movimiento Cosmico, martial arts with Vo Vi Nam and the African drumming of Jaliya.

The rest of First Fridays promises to keep South First Street hopping.

Anno Domini holds a reception for Sam3, the Spanish artist known for fashioning huge silhouettes on the sides of buildings. For “Exsitu Insitu,” he will create a one-of-a-kind installation on the walls of the gallery.

On the street, Anno Domini hosts the Street Mrkt, a.k.a. D.I.Y. Urban Fair, with music by San Jose’s Corpus Callosum (7:30pm), Ferocious Few (8:45pm) and LINKS (10am).

For its part, Caffé Trieste welcomes the figurative female portraits of

Susan Babbel with vocal selections by members of Opera San José. South First Billiards Club & Lounge mixes up rock, live painting and roller girls.

Slave Labor Graphics keeps up the spirit of the walking dead begun at last’s week’s zombie walk with a show called “The Art of the Zombie Apocalypse.” Why? Well, because when they finally slake their thirst for blood, the zombies will make some art; Quasimodal provides some jazz accompaniment for the group exhibit.

South First Fridays also provides a chance to check out the new Art Class Center of San Jose (465 S. First St.) and the yoga art at Downtown Yoga Shala (450 S. First St.) And of course, all the usual suspects—WORKS/San Jose, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles and Space47—will participate, along with honorary SoFA District gallery Kaleid (88 S. Fourth St.), which salutes KFJC’s 50th anniversary (see story on page 8).

SOUTH FIRST FRIDAYS takes place Friday (Sept. 4), all evening along South First Street in San Jose. See www.southfirstfridays.com for details.

Identity Drama

Playwright David Henry Hwang explores Chinese-American roles in TheatreWorks’ ‘Yellow Face’ EALITY OR FICTION? Asian or Caucasian? Drama or comedy?

Stereotype or racial truth? Yellow Face is a rousing backstage look at theater GENERATION GAP!!E/I/I/!)Qvo!Cboeiv-!mfgu*! kpvtut!xjui!ijt!gbuifs!)Gsbodjt!Kvf*!jo!ÕZfmmpx!Gbdf/Ö culture and politics that asks deep questions about all of these issues. This powerful new TheatreWorks production uses scathing narrative to explore playwright David Henry Hwang’s own personal struggles with his Chinese-American heritage, and where, if anywhere, race fits into contemporary culture. Though the material is too topsy-turvy at points under its own witty, rapid-fire delivery, overall this fact-based lampoon of cultural and national identity has heart, and thankfully never plays it safe theatrically.

The play picks up as angst-ridden D.H.H. (Pun Bandhu), author of that late-’80s Tony Award–winning M Butterfly, searches for a new project to fulfill himself artistically.

After learning that white Welsh actor Jonathan Pryce has been cast as a Eurasian in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon, he spearheads an uproar over the decision, accusing the theater community of “yellow face.” But as D.H.H. starts casting his own new stage offering, he finds that tracking down a masculine male Asian lead is harder then he imagined. At the last minute, he brings in non-Asian actor Marcus Dohlman (Thomas Azar) to fill the role while under the mistaken assumption that the young man has Asian ancestry. All the while, D.H.H.’s Rat Pack–obsessed banker father (Francis Jue) chimes in over the phone and in person, hinting that D.H.H. should leave theater behind for the financial world and the American dream.

Yellow Face hits its high-speed stride as D.H.H. scrambles to conceal the truth of his leading man’s bloodline, labeling Dohlman a Jewish Siberian to cover his own miscasting. Later, Marcus carves out a name for himself as an “Asian” actor, and to Hwang’s horror, plays the lead in a hit “authentic” production of The King and I. However, when D.H.H.’s father is accused of spying for Red China, and a journalist with his own agenda comes calling, both men must discover where their true identities lie.

The father/son relationship is truly the heart of this play, and it’s no wonder that Broadway-famed actor Jue has won an Obie Award for this stirring role. As the cast took their bows to the tune of Coldplay’s “Yellow” on opening night, the crowd roared and applauded for Jue especially. Still, though the play confronts racial stereotypes, actor B.D. Wong (who had the starring role of Song Liling in M. Butterfly) is portrayed with a disconcerting degree of limp-wristedness by Jue. This is a satire though, and Hwang is willing to mock his own hypocrisy, too. In one sequence D.H.H. is ripping on the hardships and subconscious racism that the Chinese community faces; the next, he’s in a guffaw-inducing scene being recognized while renting Asian porn.

The small cast in Yellow Face play an astonishing number of roles each. They include Bay Area theater veterans Howard Swain, Robert Ernst and Amy Resnick, along with newcomer Tina Chilip. Under the masterful hand of founding artistic director Robert Kelley, they switch races, sexes and voices with the flash of spotlights on the simple, tasteful multilevel stage.

Labor Day

HE END OF SUMMER brings the consolation of a three-day weekend full of outdoor activities. The big dog for the end of the dog days is San Jose’s Tapestry Arts Festival, whose roots go all the way back to 1976. The three-day affair shifts its footprint a bit this year, moving eastward into Plaza de Cesar Chavez.

The family-friendly event features music on the Plaza Stage, plenty of arts-related fun stuff for kids, and food and crafts booths.

On Saturday, the South Bay Guitar Society will fill the KGO Stage with classical guitarists, starting at 10:30am. Monday’s San Jose Rocks/KFOX presentation starts early (10:15am) with Black Pearl and ends midafternoon with the Groove Kinds. Some of other standout performers are Nitecry (Sunday at 1:45pm), Wally’s Swing World (Monday at 12:35pm) and singer Jamie O’Neal (Saturday at 2:15pm). One unusual addition this year is the Trash Art Fashion Show. Local youth have contributed fashion ideas using recycled and discarded materials. The winners will be unveiled on Sunday at 12:45pm.

TAPESTRY ARTS FESTIVAL takes place Sept. 5–6, 10am–6pm, and Sept. 7, 10am–5pm, in downtown San Jose. Admission is free. (408.494.3590 or www.tapestryarts.org)

Vocal Quartet

Cheryl Bennett-Scales brings four famous singers to life

A

SPIRITUAL, metaphysical love letter to strong black women, Mirror, Mirror of My Soul offers a mystical reďŹ&#x201A;ection of four legendary songstresses. Actress and jazz vocalist Cheryl Bennett-Scales channeled the charismatic and often tragic energies of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Eartha Kitt and Miriam Makeba last weekend at the Theater on San Pedro Square.

Presented by the San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild and the Tabia African American Theatre Ensemble, the solo performance was a surrealistic meditation on these womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compelling lives and works, with a distinctive orphic touch.

Surprisingly, Bennett-Scales, who created, wrote and performed the piece, did not attempt to impersonate the four renowned singers literally in her show. Instead, she used video, dance, lighting and song to bring the divas to life. Though a talented singer and entertainer, Bennett-Scales does not possess the vocal strength of Nina Simone. As such, she chose to recite the words of the High Priestess of Soul, along with a projected video of Simoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knockout set of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Got No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Got Lifeâ&#x20AC;? at the 1969 Harlem Festival.

She also approached the subject of Miriam Makeba nontraditionally, showing a video of the South African singer and civil rights activist singing her hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pata Pata,â&#x20AC;? and then going into character as a little girl who idolizes the singer. Bennett-Scales was most powerful in her portrayal of Lady Day, whom she brought to the stage with the help of candles, masks, a stand-alone looking glass frame and a smoke machine.

The actress has played Holiday several times in the small-scale bio-show Lady Day at Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar and Grill. Though physically Bennett-Scales looks more like Diana Ross, she successfully conjured up the seminal jazz singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality and heartbreaking style.

Showing Holiday both shooting up and in a teetering smack-induced haze, BennettScales was unafraid to gloss over these dynamic womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

Lone Wolf

The hero of ‘Tetro,’ just like director Francis Coppola, feels spurned by muses and critics alike

By Richard von Busack

T

HE SUMPTUOUS but very strange self-made film Tetro is at times an unsuccessful wine pairing: a sophisticated rich Coppola served with an inferior Gallo. Francis Ford Coppola’s new work is set in Buenos Aires. Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich), a young and virginal sailor—a waiter on a cruise ship— descends on his long-lost half-brother (Vincent Gallo), who abandoned him in New York. Their mutual father is a renowned and much-married orchestra conductor (Klaus Maria Brandauer). In rejection, the older brother has changed his name to Tetro.

This broken-legged lone wolf winds his way through a series of cafes, having written off the writing life.

His adoring wife, Miranda (Maribel Verdú), tries to smooth the roughness between the brothers, but Bennie’s own ambition to become a writer inflames matters. Decrypting the film’s coded, hidden stash of notes for an open-ended modernist novel—the characters have algebraic names— Bennie discovers the true history of his family.

Tetro’s expertly synthesized blackand-white surfaces are more than alluring. Is the title a kind of anagram for “Retro”? The surfaces were also fascinating in Coppola’s gorgeous but crazy 2007 Youth Without Youth.

There are just as many oddities here. A cabaret scene doesn’t rhyme with the plot. The story is of a transvestite Mephistopheles in Faust,

but the devil isn’t buying the souls of avant-garde writers these days—he’s not in the market.

We learn that Miranda met Tetro at a place called “Califata,” which seems to be both an open-mic circle and an open-air group therapy session. He was broken and weary, and she healed him. She’s the muse figure, but later there are weirdly crass displays of flesh that recall the awkward sex scenes in the director’s cut of Apocalypse Now. And if Tetro weren’t wobbly enough, it gets wobblier. Coppola introduces a critic known to the world as “Alone” (Carmen Maura).

Dressed like Louella Parsons, she’s a social lion; she is given the demigoddess treatment at the cabaret when she walks in on the play. And she’s a villainess. Having once built up Tetro, she cut him down again, robbing him of his ability to work.

(If Tetro lost respect for this critic, why does he give his brother a copy of Alone’s book? Just to remind us that the critic exists for the film’s final scenes, likely.)

After plagiarizing Tetro’s scrawlings, Bennie hooks up with the shinier figures in the Buenos Aires avantgarde and becomes a literary star.

At last, the two brothers have a confrontation at an arts festival in Patagonia, where Bennie and his plagiarized play compete at the “Parracidos Award.”

Coppola calls Tetro his most personal film. Why? Odd that the much-betrayed Tetro is also

abandoned by a lost love named “Naomi White,” seeing how former San Francisco film critic Naomi Wise co-wrote a Coppola biography.

Killing the father with their parasitic parricide awards—is that what the critics did?

Let’s revisit the record. We stuck with Coppola as long as we could through forgettable commercial projects and gorgeous but vapid technological experiments like One From the Heart. Rather than a lowdown gritty cafe writer, he was at one time the highest-paid director in film history. Critics listened respectfully when, as Pauline Kael said, Coppola was a Wizard of Oz telling people not to look at anything but the man behind the curtain. A man who enjoyed success in other fields, as well as a still golden reputation for 1970s cinema, shouldn’t be grinding axes.

Despite its technology, Tetro has the same twin limitations of so much of Coppola’s work. He still seems unsure of how to shape his material and where to cut it.

Inside this discursive film is a twisted melodrama, which audiences have to dig out for themselves. The lead actor is a major obstacle in this dig. Gallo seems to have been hired for metareasons. He must be the Gallo who is the derided indie director (of The Brown Bunny) rather than Gallo the actor—the hectoring, monotonous actor, a gaunt chestjabber, a humorless, dour version of Christopher Walken.

And yet there’s so much that’s

worth looking past Gallo to see. Tetro is an eyeful: ballet sequences in an emulated Technicolor are a tribute to the Olympia episode in Michael Powell’s 1951 Tales of Hoffman, which is helpfully excerpted. That same Offenbach ballet is reprised in a Coppola style, and there are two other color dance interludes: a startling image of a seashore lapping at the edge of a polished ballet stage, and one of an automobile accident, with the scarlet-gowned victim spiraling to heaven. It’s an aestheticized calamity that surpasses the equally strange car crash in Ken Russell’s sequence in Aria.

The Buenos Aires nightscapes are malignantly fascinating, despite the fact that not much happens in them.

This nighttown is luridly lit as if by prison guard towers, with cryptic banners and indecipherable graffiti.

A drive through the countryside notes the dazzling highlights off the ice-covered Andes; Coppola makes a virtue out of digital cinema’s flaredout whites and hot yellow.

When it comes down to it, Tetro has only two problems.

Technically startling but dramatically underwhelming cinema is already choking mainstream film. And cinematic beauty without narrative purpose might as well be a perfume commercial.

TETRO (Unrated; 127 min.), directed and written by Francis Ford Coppola, photographed by Mihai Malaimare Jr. and starring Vincent Gallo and Maribel Verdú, opens Sept. 4 at Camera 3 in San Jose.

Fatherhood Robin Williams nurses his weird kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy in Bob Goldthwaitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greatest Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

A

NY CLASS CLOWN had the unworthy thought that Anne Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good qualities were probably exaggerated by her grieving father. But it shows some real skill to turn that idea into a crafty, ruefully funny movie. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what director Bobcat Goldthwait has done in Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greatest Dad. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bracing comedy of taboos. The main character is a mean and thoroughly creepy teen, Kyle (Daryl Sabara), whose most cherished thoughts are of anal sex and auto-erotic asphyxiation. His beaten-down, sensitive father, Lance (Robin Williams), is a failed writer and a high school teacher in the suburbs of Seattle, trying hopelessly to instill a sense of the better life in his handful of squirrelly, plagiarism-crazed students. And Lance is also in a clandestine and unconsummatable thing with a fellow teacher, Claire (Alexie Gilmore, who has one of those wide ambiguous mouths, turning in both directions at once; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smiling or sneering).

Lanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeless demands for affection from Kyle are thwarted, right up to the point when he ďŹ nds the boy dead from his own decadence. Weeping, Lance tries to disguise his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death as the suicide of a sensitive outcast.

The plan works alarmingly well. Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shocked fellow students had never realized how deep the boy was, and they urge Lance to ďŹ nd more of the late Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writings, which Lance quickly fabricates, making both father and son a hero. Only Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Andrew (Evan Martin, excellent) suspects that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something wrong with this picture: Surely Lanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diary would be full of his usual XXX adult porno ďŹ xations?

Goldthwait is a brave nonconformist, directing with the assurance this deep-black comedy will ďŹ nd people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love it. The rapid skewering of John Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Breakfast Club will be solace to those who had to repeatedly hear all about the generation-deďŹ ning brilliance of Hughes. But Goldthwait is shakier on building an environment. The references to crap cinema donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be part of Lanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. Is he a literary man or a failed screenwriter? The cinephilia angle of Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greatest Dad, as always, is a way to make a morally dubious character like Lance likable to movie watchers.

But when Lance starts out going to a mall movie and ends up at an art house showing a double bill of His Girl Friday and Freaks, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence of Goldthwait not making the best use of a suffocating suburban atmosphere.

Williams has a chance to do some of the most integral, gentle and praiseworthy acting of his career. Sabara, the veteran of three of Robert Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candy-coated Spy Kids movies, does manful, hilarious acting. Kyle was accidentally caught in a weirdly sensitive pose in a photo; the camera returns to this photo, which keeps getting funnier with each new viewing. The photo is also a rebuke to those who see troubled teenagers in just one way.

Similarly, Goldthwait wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just another comedian of the 1980s. People who justiďŹ ably recall the wonderfulness of Pee-wee Herman ought to similarly remember Goldthwaitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own persona, a Southern California Raskolnikov, trembling with some brain fever. He was the real thing as a comedian, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real thing as a director.

Richard von Busack WORLDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GREATEST DAD ( R; 99 min.), directed and written by Bobcat Goldthwait, photographed by Horacio MarquĂ­nez and starring Robin Williams, opens Sept. 4.

FILM REVIEW

Ă&#x;mn sfwjfxt

Reviews by Michael S. Gant, Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack.

New All About Steve (PG-13) No one is doing what Sandra Bullock does, walking the line between glamour and girl-next-door, producing her own comedies and getting mileage out of being a New Jersey girl in a Fifth Avenue body, a quick fast lady in world too slow for her. But All About Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;despite a sturdy screwball comedy scriptâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;shows that Bullock may have to move on to a new stage. Bullock plays Mary Magdalene Horowitz, a Sacramento crossword puzzle composer still living at home with her parents, who is set up on a blind date with Steve (Bradley Cooper), a cameraman from â&#x20AC;&#x153;CCN News.â&#x20AC;? Mary falls madly in love at ďŹ rst sight and starts chasing Steve around the country. Bullockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bleached hair and skimpy outďŹ t shows that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking young, but she may have too much integrity to be right for a yakkety

ditz like Mary. Fortunately, Thomas Haden Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as a straight-faced, splendidly conceited newsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;takes up some of the slack as Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-worker, who mischievously encourages Mary in her pursuit. (Steve calls him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iagoâ&#x20AC;? for this, evidence that the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing is on a higher plain than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect.) The news stories covered have some wit to themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a moving story of a three-legged baby in Oklahoma, whose separated parents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree whether to amputate the extra limb or not, causing large vigils, sign-carriers and candle-holding outside the hospital.

Bullock is most likable acting on her honest desire to pounce on Steve; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no girlish coyness in a line like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to eat you like a mountain lion.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about ready to play some ďŹ ne cougars, hunting down some younger man and making him like it.

(Opens Sep 4.) (RvB) The Final Destination (R; 82 min.) A 60 Minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style exposĂŠ on Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crumbling infrastructure, cast with characters for whom one feels about as much empathy as one would if they were crash-test dummies. Certainly, they ask for it, going to a race track at the beginning (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell me again why we came here instead of going to a movieâ&#x20AC;?). When the premonition-wracked Nick (Bobby Campo)

saves his friends from ďŹ&#x201A;ying engine blocks and race car wheels, a frustrated Death goes after them all in more baroque ways. I admired the scene of a mother at a beauty parlor being tended by a pair of beauticians acting like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in Sartreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Maids, among a riot of malfunctioning machinery.

Then, also, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a swastika-tattooed tow-truck driver immolated in the middle of trying to organize a cross-burning.

The ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one character worth sparing is George (Mykelti Williams), a security guard who tries to kill himself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to give God what I think he wants.â&#x20AC;?

That God hates us and wants us all dead is the underscored message of this unusually unpretentious and honestly misanthropic snuff ďŹ lm; the elation-producing death mechanisms in 3-D are worthy of the Coyote and the Roadrunner. The demise of the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total macho butthole Hunt (Nick Zano), staged at the swimming pool of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forest Lawn Country Club,â&#x20AC;? is pretty ingenious even by the standards of the franchise. Director David R. Ellis ďŹ lms in a composite of Florida and Quebec, creating one blandsville semi-Midwestern nowhere, where death is clearly a release. (Plays valleywide.) (RvB) Extract (R; 91 min.) See review on page 55.

Gamer (R; 95 min.) A future-set thriller about a dangerous contest. With Gerard Butler, Kyra Sedgwick and Michael C. Hall. (Opens Sep 4.)

Tetro (Unrated; 127 min.) See review on page 51.

Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greatest Dad (R; 99 min.) See review at left.

Revivals The Lady Vanishes/Young and Innocent (Both 1938) Alfred Hitchcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international breakthrough ďŹ lm, The Lady Vanishes, is an entertainment with a moral about the coming war. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about a nice old lady named Miss Froy (Dame May Whitty), who disappears during the course of a train ride back to England from the Balkans. As a folk-music student (Michael Redgrave) and a tourist (Margaret Lockwood) search for her, they work their way down a list of their fellow travelersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe, literal Fellow Travelers with an unnamed foreign threat. They include a too-chipper brain surgeon (Paul Lukas), a heavily accented baroness (Mary Clare) and a paciďŹ st (Cecil Parker). Because Orson Welles claimed to have seen this 11 times, The Lady Vanishes had its mark on The Third Man and elsewhere. BILLED WITH Young and Innocent. On some slight circumstantial evidence, Robert Tisdall (Derrick De Marney) is accused of a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strangulation and heads for Cornwall to ďŹ nd the real killer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped in his pursuit by the suitably young and innocent Nova Pilbeam.

After car chases and a mine cave-in comes the real climax: a famous 145-foot shot across the top of a dance hall during the midst of a crowded tea dance. (Plays Sep 2-3 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) The 39 Steps/Secret Agent (1935/1936) The fountainhead of the modern spy ďŹ lm, in which cool and murderous elements are balanced. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the earliest and perhaps the purest version of a recurrent Hitchcock theme: an innocent man pursued by both the police and a shadowy mob of spies. Robert Donat plays a ďŹ&#x201A;ippant Canadian. Not the sort of person to get tangled up in all this cloak-and-dagger stuff, Donat ends up the prime suspect in a murder, committed by the 39 Steps, a group of espionage artists. With Madeleine Carroll as the unwilling girl dragged across Scotland with Donat, Godfrey Tearle as the Professor (Moriarity, no doubt), the young Peggy Ashcroft in the poignant episode about the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and Wylie Watson appropriately unforgettable as the ill-fated

M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y SEPTEMBER 2-8, 2009 FILM but dutiful Mr. Memory. BILLED WITH The Secret Agent. John Gielgud stars as the reluctant gentleman spy “Ashenden,” in an adventure taken from two of Somerset Maugham’s perhaps autobiographical accounts of espionage in Switzerland, 1916.

As in the 1934 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much, the stuffy British heroes are overshadowed by Peter Lorre, who here plays a Mexican professional assassin.

“Childlike, beautiful and unfathomably wicked,” the critic Otis Ferguson. (Plays Sep 8-10 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

(RvB) Vertigo/Rear Window (1958/1954) Alfred Hitchcock’s emotionally powerful story of a man’s last love affair before the grave. Jimmy Stewart plays a retired San Francisco police detective hooked by a married woman who is apparently haunted by a dead ancestor.

As the deadly imago, Kim Novak leads a vertigo-struck Stewart to more and more dizzying heights. Stewart, most certainly not a nice guy here, is demanding and duplicitous, but he was never better, never so much at cross purposes with that sometimes tiresomely folksy exterior.

BILLED WITH Rear Window. Photographer L.B. Jefferies (Stewart) is laid up in a wheelchair in his studio apartment. One day, he sees evidence in a neighboring apartment that a husband has murdered his wife. All a trifle—or it would be in the hands of any director less troubling than Hitchcock. This gorgeous thriller boasts a strong subplot about a man who has had one leg in a trap for weeks and is anxious not to get the other one caught. He’s under pressure to marry his affluent girlfriend, Lisa (Grace Kelly). Raymond Burr was never better than he was as hulking Lars Thorwald—no diabolical killer but a shabby, depressed man with gold-rimmed spectacles. And the older you get, the better Hitchcock’s films look. What dignity Hitchcock gives middle-aged angst—here, and in Vertigo, which begins where Rear Window ends. (Plays Sep 4-7 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

Reviews Adam (PG; 99 min.) Hugh Dancy stars as Adam, a New Yorker with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning autistic with empathy disorders. Rose Byrne is Beth, his upstairs neighbor; except for a few melancholy jokes this gloomy-looking date movie for very, very shy people doesn’t go farther than boy meets girl. Director Max Mayer stays on topic; Adam’s love of outer-space exploration and the galaxies mirrors his own alienlike responses (it’s as if Mayer is telling us, “What’s the matter, don’t you like Mr. Spock?”); the reference to the children’s tale about the emperor’s new clothes is also supposed to celebrate Adam’s pitilessly honest responses to the world around him.

Comic bits by Jeff Hiller as a supercilious waiter and Mark Linn-Bale as a fauxfriendly boss help this out. The subplotting of Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving as Beth’s parents is just filler. Byrne’s channeling of the young Diane Keaton is more uncanny than anything Max does. (RvB) Bandslam (PG; 111 min.) Todd Graff (Camp) directs an alterna-kids movie about a group of misfits getting a rock band together.

Vanessa Hudgens and Lisa Kudrow co-star.

District 9 (R; 112 min.) Humans and alien refugees live in close and uncomfortable proximity in Johannesburg in dystopian sci-fi thriller by Neill Blomkamp. The story is told documentary style, as we follow the mysterious disappearance of Wikus (Sharito Copley), a human employee of Multi-National United. Included in this mix of images is also some kind of private footage, heavily digitally watermarked, that a secretive company like MNU wouldn’t want aired. During a raid on the alien camp,

Wikus is sprayed with some alien fluid.

After this incident, we can cut and paste in much of David Cronenberg’s version of The Fly, as the smarmy Wikus begins to mutate, losing his fingernails and teeth. The massive corporation he works for makes him a wanted man, and he’s forced to get the help of one of the prawns. Producer Peter Jackson’s hand is visible in the flawless animation of the bug creatures. All of the most interesting parts of this story—about the otherness of the aliens—are kept offcamera. (RvB) (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) Flame & Citron (Unrated; 130 min.) Ole Christian Madseon directs a drama about Danish resistance fighters during World War II. G-Force (PG; 88 min.) Guinea pig humor dressed up in military fatigues.

OPENS WIDE IN THEATERS ON

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11

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. (SP) The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (R; 90 min.) A comedy about a used-car salesman, starring Jeremy Piven, Ed Helms and Ving Rhames.

Halloween II (R; 101 min.) Rob Zombie reprises more adventures of fun-looking Michael Myers.

A cool supporting cast helps: Malcolm McDowell, Brad Dourif, Howard Hesseman and Margot Kidder.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (PG; 153 min.) Hogwartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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-worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Churchill,

needs to know what Slughorn knows, but the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 ďŹ ghting. Central to the ďŹ lm is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James (Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; risk-taking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). Director Kathryn Bigelow does what Howard Hawks would do: she ďŹ nds the cooperation between men of great competence in a killing trade, rather than pumping up rivalry. (RvB) In the Loop (Unrated; 106 min.) Armando Iannucci, a well-known ďŹ gure in British television comedy, does a scathing sort-of version of the dawn of the Iraq invasion. James GandolďŹ niâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lt. Gen. George Miller is a more wrathful version of Colin Powell.

Mimi Kennedy plays Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. GandolďŹ ni and Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characters are the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moral centerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let us. The ďŹ erce verbiage pours forth like a gusher, but the smartness outsmarts itself. (RvB)

Inglourious Basterds (R; 153 min.) Hilarious but gripping World War II movie to end all World War movies. In ďŹ ve chapters: the untold story of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operation Kinoâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a cinephileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantasy of using the power of movies to destroy Der FĂźhrer and his gang. Key in the plot: a roaming band of Jewish psychos led by war atrocity fancier Lt. Aldo Rayne (Brad Pitt, irresistible), a Dietrich-like siren (Diane Kruger) and an urbane British ďŹ lm critic (Michael Fassbinder). All are opposed by a sardonic yet seemingly polite Nazi swinehunde, the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standout: Christoph Walz, as lovably loathsome as von Stroheim, only with Jason Robardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own air of creepy good cheer. Quentin Tarantino phrases the war as a conďŹ&#x201A;ict between honest brutality and masked sadism; in doing so, he pulls the rug out from under traditionof-quality movies about the war (Saving Private Ryan comes to mind) and gives us what we secretly wanted to see all along. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juicy, ebullient and insanely self-conďŹ dent ďŹ lmmaking. (RvB) It Might Get Loud (Unrated; 97 min.) The trio of Jack White, the Edge and Jimmy Page got together for a summit meeting in a studio for It Might Get Loud. Davis Guggenheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne documentary paean to the electric guitar.

What happens is not really more than a sum of its parts, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gratifying to see three such ďŹ rst-rate guitarists stumbling over the tricky chords of the Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Weightâ&#x20AC;? just like all of us campďŹ re jammers.

(RvB) 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. (RvB) 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 wrong. The ďŹ lm comes down to Rockwell acting by himself, when history has proven that Rockwell is at his best as a sidekick.

(RvB) Ponyo (G; 100 min.) The wizardly Hiyao Miyazakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful, gentle animated entertainment for children. On a Japanese beach of today, 5-year-old Sosuke (voiced

by Frankie Jonas) ďŹ nds a magic talking goldďŹ sh with a human head. Ponyo (Noah Lindsey Cyrus) is happy to live in a bucket, but she sickens in captivity. A mystical rogue wave takes her back home. We learn that Ponyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father is a weary undersea wizard, Fujimoto (Liam Neeson). This former human seeks to heal the oceans with magic. Fujimoto was once the lover (or husband) of the colossal sea goddess Gran Mamare (Cate Blanchett). Ozuworthy moments of enchantment appear

T

PUZZLER Tboesb!Cvmmpdl!qmbzt!b!dspttxpse!xpslfs!xip!gbmmt!jo!mpwf!! xjui!Csbemfz!DppqfsÖt!sfqpsufs!jo!ÕBmm!Bcpvu!Tufwf-Ö!pqfojoh!Gsjebz/ throughout. Avoiding clear stories of good and evil, Miyazaki is both Buddhist and animist, telling of the opposition of creative and destructive forces. (RvB) Post Grad (PG-13; 89 min.) Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls) is like a composite of Zooey Deschanel and Emily Blunt, but Bledel’s part, Ryden Malby, isn’t one that can be easily played. The script by Kelly Fremon has a timely idea about “boomerang kids”: college graduates who end up living at home, dealing with diminished expectations. Ryden was snaked out of her dream job by her rival Jessica (Catherine Reitman). The heroine is forced to move back home with her eccentric suburban family. Adam (Gilford), the boy next door has had a crush on Ryden since she was young, but she’s always thought of him as a friend. Director Vicki Jenson comes out of a background of animation. Sight gags aren’t really Jenson’s skill, and it’s strange how unsprung and shapeless Post Grad is. The film consists of a string of subplots. Michael Keaton and Carol Burnett steal the movie as the quirky parents. (RvB) Shorts (PG; 89 min.) Family fun from Robert Rodriguez about a magic rock.

Taking Woodstock (R; 110 min.) Ang Lee and James Schamus bring their customary historical density to this view of the three-day-long music festival in upstate New York, August 1969.

There are no significant anachronisms to throw you back into 2009, and the slightly faded colors and the split-screen honor our traditional view of the festival, learned from the documentary Woodstock. Based on Elliot Tiber’s memoir, the film tells the story of Elliot (Demetri Martin) trying his best to keep the family’s decaying Catskills motel open in the summer of 1969. After hearing that a nearby community is going to cancel a huge rock concert because of fear of rampaging hippies, Elliot has the inspiration to contact the local dairy farmer Max Yasgur (Eugene Levy) to see about renting his pastures for a concert. Lee keeps the big event mostly offscreen. The

festival’s chaos helps Elliot take the cork out of his bottled-up sexuality. It’s not easy to make a good movie about this event; the younger the viewer, the sicker they are of hearing about it. Taking Woodstock’s serene appreciation for a passing time makes this one of the best fictional movies about the 1960s. It’s the history lover in Schamus and Lee that appreciates Woodstock’s uniqueness, and its ultimately transitory nature. (RvB) Thirst (R; 133 min.) Sensitive priest Sang-hyun (Song Kang-ho) gets a blood transfusion that turns him into a vampire; the still unwell protagonist is taken in by a family who knew him when he was a boy. Tae-ju (Kim Ok-vin), the daughter-in-law, is a sick-looking bird herself, but when Tae-ju

gets to know the sensitive priest something carnal awakes in her. Kim Ok-vin, playing Tae-ju the adulteress (turned, inevitably to murderess), is a phenomenal lewdling. The little ideas that director Park Chan-wook throws out are all winners; for example, a vampire briskly patting a victim’s neck, like a phlebotomist trying to raise up a vein.

The Korean director is now an all-around entertainer with a ghastly, boundlessly pervy sense of humor and a devotion to sophisticated camera work. (RvB) The Time Traveler’s Wife (PG-13; 107 min.) Eric Bana plays a man who can’t keep to the present; things don’t go well for those around him when he keeps zooming off chronologically. Also stars Rachel McAdams.

HE TITLE of Extract is as much a verb as it is a noun. Mike Judge’s new film is a comedy of cuckoldry and castration. Self-made businessman Joel (Jason Bateman) runs a small flavor-extract company and deals with the headaches that go along with it. His wife, Suzie (Kristen Wiig), is on a long-term and inexplicable sex strike. At Joel’s workplace, there’s nothing but chaos; the employees’ prejudices make for squabbles. Enter a hot little grifter named Cindy (Mila Kunis), who catches Joel’s eye. Hoping for a fair shot at her, Joel takes the worthless advice of his old pal and bartender Dean (Ben Affleck). Joel hires an imbecilic pool cleaner named Brad to seduce Suzie so that he, Joel, will be an outraged husband entitled to an affair. Unfortunately, the no-good Cindy is harder to get than she looks; she has a master plan to glom onto the settlement of one of Joel’s workers, maimed in an industrial accident on Joel’s assembly line.

Some good laughs and quotable bits here, particularly a running joke about Suzie’s sweatpants, fastened with the security of a chastity belt. There’s a very good pot-smoking scene in which the local dealer gets addressed as “a shaman,” possibly because he has a 5-foot bong. But just as Judge’s last two comedies, Office Space and Idiocracy, made it as cult items, it seems Extract will have its best days on home screens. The visuals aren’t thought out much—the TV-size stagings are almost as flat as painted backgrounds. On the one hand, this is Judge’s way of honoring the dull surroundings most workers live with.

Office Space was at its best depicting the crushing monotony of the light industrial park; it’s the best movie about Sunnyvale not shot in Sunnyvale. At this point, though, does Judge even notice the backgrounds in his films? It’s as if he thinks that this is the way normal things look, and he doesn’t have to make any gags off of them.

Another matter is the relentless centrism of Judge’s humor. On King of the Hill, each episode is about arch-conservatives and wacky liberals trying to push good old Hank Hill out of his comfort zone. The Simpsons gets deeper because Homer does as he’s done to: Springfield is a real entity, a virtual city, because the rot goes from the bottom to the top, from Cletus the hillbilly to Montgomery Burns. By contrast, Judge’s Arlen, Texas, is a place that would be orderly if extremists didn’t keep rattling it. And thus Extract, with its shirking assembly lines with workers too small-minded and addled to agitate for their rights. It’s the Capra view of a mob of workers needing a wiser boss.

Extract is a funny movie; Bateman’s perplexity recalls the dissatisfied male businessmen of late-’50s and early-’60s comedies. Wiig is a fine comedian, very subtle and desirable; the part of Suzie has life of its own. But there’s a patronizing streak in this film that’s going to be left as an aftertaste after the froth of it dissolves.

DVD REVIEW

action-packed Japanese crime dramas

I

N THE LATE ’50s, Nikkatsu, Japan’s oldest film studio, jolted audiences with punchy, brash, hip-looking gangster films that borrowed equally from American film noir and French existential crime dramas. This set from Criterion contains five prime examples that illustrate a progression from kitchen-sink noir to increasingly baroque urban shoot-’em-ups.

They are all in black-and-white, boast propulsive, Western-jazz soundtracks and rely heavily on familiar underworld visual tropes like pork-pie hats, trench coats and rain-soaked alleys.

In both I Am Waiting (1957) and Rusty Knife (1958), Yujiro Ishihara plays a tough guy trying to escape a brutal past, but they keep pulling him back in.

I Am Waiting takes place in a small waterfront diner where Ishihara’s character takes pity on a lonely, desperate girl (Mie Kitahara) who has run away from some petty mobsters who force her to work as a . . . chanteuse. The setup and the slowly dawning romantic dynamic borrows a lot from Moontide with Jean Gabin and Ida Lupino. Ishihara plays an ex-hood in Rusty Knife. He witnessed a murder and must negotiate between the perpetrators and the police—a task complicated by the seductive daughter (Kitahara again) of the victim.

Take Aim at the Police Van (1960) starts to veer off into Sam Fuller territory with the story of a prison guard who loses his job in the wake of an ambush and sets out to avenge the crime. The plot defies parsing, and some of the characters’ motivations gyrate wildly as Mr. Tamon (Michitaro Mizushima) uncovers a slave-ring/smuggling operation. How a half-naked geisha ends up skewered with an arrow shot through a paper curtain is never explained—but really, would it make any difference? The film scoots along and climaxes with a great night-time showdown in a rail yard full of steam trains.

Joe Shishido stars in Cruel Gun Story (1964), which cranks up the level of self-awareness to almost Bondian (or at least Mission Impossible) levels with plenty of absurd gun battles in which legions of attackers succumb while being unable to even wing our looming antihero. Shishido (Branded to Kill— the Japanese had a gift for titles, or translation) is identifiable immediately thanks to his surgically enlarged puffy cheeks (he couldn’t just stuff them with cotton balls like Brando?). The result is faintly ridiculous to my eyes (just about every critic falls back on the adjective “chipmunklike”), but the change made Shishido a star.

Here he plays a very cool crook enlisted in an armed-car robbery that goes terribly wrong. With his sunglasses, slicked-back hair and intense squint, he’s like Craig Stevens’ Peter Gunn. Shishido manifests some deep doubts about his life of crime (“There’s nothing left inside . . . those bastards played me and won”) and then goes out and guns down some more faceless enemies.

The film boasts some nifty accoutrements—an MG convertible, a serpentine bar, a chase through a sewer—and doesn’t take itself too seriously. In the best moment, Shishido, possibly gutshot, lies on the floor, his cigarette still rakishly clenched between his lips. A Colt Is My Passport (1967) again showcases Shishido in an inexplicable story of a Yakuza assassin dodging between two underworld outfits. The editing and wide-angle shots are ramped up to shockcut level, and the film is best enjoyed as an exercise in style. This set offers a lot of high-voltage entertainment, with nothing lost in translation. No extras.

Iggy and the Stooges’ James Williamson comes out of retirement to play his classic songs with the Careless Hearts

By Steve Palopoli ERE’S A musician’s nightmare: What if you got your dream gig, playing with a true legend from one of the most revered bands in rock history—and no one believed you?

That’s kind of what’s happening right now to the Careless Hearts, who are set to play with James Williamson at the Blank Club on Saturday. Williamson is best known as the guitarist in the second incarnation of Iggy Pop’s ’70s band the Stooges. As a member of the rechristened “Iggy and the Stooges,” taking over for original guitarist Ron Asheton, Williamson wrote all the music for and played guitar on the third Stooges album, Raw Power.

While not a commercial success when it was released in 1973, Raw Power was later cited as a huge influence by punk bands like the Sex Pistols and is now held up as perhaps the most important record of its era. Kurt Cobain called it his favorite album of all time, and so did Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.

Its role in shaping rock & roll over the last 35 years is immeasurable.

So, it follows, is Williamson’s.

Maybe that’s why Careless Hearts drummer Eric Powers is finding that so many people have trouble believing that they’ll be spending Saturday night onstage with Williamson, playing Stooges songs.

“Everyone that I talk to, no one has really gotten it,” says Powers.

“They’re like, ‘So, what, you guys are opening up for him?’ ‘No, no, no, I’m playing Stooges songs with James from the Stooges.’

And they’re just like, “So—you’re opening up for him?’ People can’t even wrap their head around it.”

Maybe it’s because few people even realize that Williamson lives in Silicon Valley. He gave up music completely three decades ago to work in electronics, for Sony. And he says he had barely played guitar since, until he got a call from Iggy Pop earlier this year. The original lineup of the Stooges had reformed in 2003, but Asheton died of a heart attack on Jan. 9 of this year, at age 60. Iggy asked Williamson to join the band again, and he accepted. But that means a lot of catching up for the gigs in 2010, and this show with his friends in

the Careless Hearts is part of that.

It will be Williamson’s first time on stage in more than 30 years.

Perhaps another reason people have trouble believing Powers’ dream gig is that they don’t suspect that lurking inside the Careless Hearts is a big, loud Stooges cover band. But while the band’s vocalist Paul Kimball won’t be augmenting his Iggy impersonation by smearing peanut butter on himself or cutting his chest with glass, Powers says doubters are in for a shock.

“Careless Hearts as Careless Hearts is its own thing,” he says.

“We’re kind of a low-key, kind of country & western, Americana, mellow band. But everybody who plays in Careless Hearts was in a punk band, or 10, and has toured in the shitty van and slept on floors. So it’s not even Careless Hearts at all when it’s this thing.

It’s very loud guitars, loud amps, Paul’s screaming his head off. We knew what we’re doing.”

Williamson took time from prepping for his return to the stage to talk about the upcoming gig, Raw Power, and his time with Iggy.

METRO: How did you originally meet the Careless Hearts?

JAMES WILLIAMSON: I went into Gryphon Music [in Palo Alto] to buy a guitar one day. They didn’t have the guitar that I was looking for, a certain type of Martin guitar, and I told the guy who was helping me, ‘Well, if this guitar comes in, give me a call.’ So he started taking my information, and when he got my name, he goes ‘Whoa, you’re James Williamson?’ I told him he was too young to know who I was.

That was [Careless Hearts guitarist] Derek See. Sure enough, I did buy a guitar from them, and we got to know each other through various discussions over the course of a couple years. When I let him know that I was going to be joining the Stooges again, he offered his band to help me rehearse. Because I hadn’t played in 35 years with a band, and I didn’t know what to expect, really. So having a drummer and everything was a big deal to me. In between, [bassist] Brian Michael, who is also in this band, he’s a luthier, and he restored my old Les Paul and a whole bunch of +&

different stuff. So I knew a couple of these guys pretty well by then. Then I got to meet the rest of the band. As part of the bargain, I kind of felt like I owed them something, so I said, ‘OK, you know, I tell you what, I’ll sit in with you guys at a gig for a couple of songs or whatever. And then all of a sudden it became a whole gig.

One guest musician at this show will be Steve McKay, who played sax on the Stooges’ ‘Funhouse’ record. What do you remember about playing with him?

The only time I ever played with Steve was a weird deal one night when we had a gig that we desperately needed the money from at a place called the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. Our drummer had gone with the road crew in the truck, and he was driving. He neglected to notice that the bridge clearance was lower than the top of the truck. He took the top right off, and threw everybody out of the truck, because nobody wore seat belts in those days. He was OK more or less, but he wasn’t playing the gig that night. So we were without a drummer, and we needed the gig. So we said OK, Steve McKay, he can probably play drums, right? He had never heard any of these songs before, nothing. He didn’t actually play drums, he’s a sax player. You got to give him credit, he sat back there and did the best he could. It was god awful— really, really, really bad. But we got paid.

Iggy Pop is as famous for his unpredictable performances as he is for his music. What’s it like holding up the musical end when he lets loose?

We all go back so far, we know how Jim—Iggy—is. That’s his thing, he goes and does his thing. Our job is to make the band sound good. We didn’t worry about that stuff. If Iggy was cutting himself up, hey, the show goes on. The only time the show stopped was the one gig at the Rock and Roll Farm where we got booked into a biker club, and Iggy went out and did his confrontational shit to a biker—who just cold-cocked him. That was a tough one, because that was the first time where the tables had been turned. Because in those days, no performer actually got into the audience and started getting in your face, people didn’t know how to react. So he was never challenged, and all of a sudden he got challenged. It was pretty scary night, actually. We were happy to get out of there alive.

The thing about ‘Raw Power’ is that there’s no other album that sounds like it, not even the other Stooges records. Did you have any sense of how unorthodox your playing was, or how extreme the songs were sounding?

I had no idea, because that was my first record ever. I had nothing to compare it to. That was one of the problems, really, with that record. We were left alone to do our own thing, because everybody was focused on Bowie, ’cause that’s when he

was breaking, right then. That was the good news. The bad news was we didn’t know what we were doing, so we made a lot of mistakes. There are a lot of technical mistakes on the album that made it difficult to mix. When Iggy remixed it, I don’t know what he had to work with. He said it wasn’t much. So I don’t know what the masters are like.

In the past you’ve said you don’t really like David Bowie’s original mix of the album, or the mix that Iggy did in 1997.

Well, I’ve grown to like the Bowie mix better. That is the mix that everybody who knows the album knows. The guitars are way up front on that album, but you can’t hardly hear the bass, and the drums are not up as far as they should be. But it is what it is, and you’re right, it doesn’t sound like anything else. I’ve been talking to Sony Music, who own the record now. I’ve offered to remix it myself, but I don’t know if it’s in the cards or not. It might be better just to leave it the way it is, just re-release the original mix and be done with it. That’s what people know, and maybe that’s the way it should be.

When it came out, it was a disappointment commercially. Then within a few years, punkers and other musicians were calling it the best album of all time. Were you surprised when it suddenly had such this incredible reputation?

In our active time as a band, we had no success at all. We were hand to mouth, and it was a really, really tough deal. So yeah, it’s odd to see where it’s gone from there.

By that point and time, I had moved on.

It became flattering after a while, because there were so many references. But nothing like today. I was down at a benefit in L.A. that the Chili Peppers were getting honored at. Iggy played there, and I went down to check it out, and we were talking about some things. Just the reverence of the kids to him was like “What? You’ve got to be kidding me.”

What’s it like playing these songs again?

It’s been a lot of fun, and [the Careless Hearts] have helped me a lot. I was down in L.A. a couple of weeks ago playing with the real Stooges, just rehearsing, and that was a lot of fun, too. We’re not doing shows until next year. We’ve got several rehearsals lined up before that. In the meantime, this is a lot of fun, and I get to play a live show for the first time in a long time. My son can come see me—he hasn’t ever seen me play!

These guys, most of the band wasn’t even born the last time I played live.

Some of the logic I hear from Internet daters is seriously puzzling: “I won’t give you my number, but I’d be happy to meet you in a darkened canyon, late at night, next to a shallow grave.” And, sure enough, at the appointed time and place, they see old HillsideStrangler27 waiting for them, and wonder aloud, “Do you always accessorize with a shovel?”

If you’re like many people, you see a serial killer behind every Internet dating profile, but you’ll trust a guy you sometimes see at the coffee shop or around the neighborhood. Well, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer were people’s neighbors, too. (Everybody has to live somewhere.) On the Internet or off, you protect yourself by paying attention to any troubling things a guy says or does instead of focusing on who you want him to be. As for what Internet dating guidelines actually say, it’s generally that you shouldn’t put identifying information in your profile (real name, address, and the best time to rob you).

Other precautionary tactics include creating a special email address, vetting people by phone before meeting, and calling from

Skype.com or a blocked number—ideally, when you say you will, so a guy isn’t sitting by the phone like the only 16-year-old girl who has yet to be asked to prom.

So, this man had to have the last word, the last word, and the last word. If he keeps emailing, yeah, that’s a problem. But, what did you expect? You strung him along just long enough to dump him. He actually should’ve been wary of you from the start, considering how you came on like a mean schoolmarm, reprimanding him for failing to commit to memory every detail you ever emailed him. My guess is, he’s right—that the last thing you want is to get close to anybody. If that’s the truth, work on changing it—don’t seek a relationship then sabotage any chance of it by making your interactions about as fun as a staged reading of a wireless phone contract. If you continue Internet dating, you should recognize that a guy you meet for drinks actually doesn’t need your phone number; he’ll just break in through your back window, tie you up, and talk to you for as long as he pleases after he follows you home from the bar.

Can’t you make do with sharing “the same goofy sense of humor” on lunch breaks? Or, is your actual goal getting your “friendship” out in the open so you’ll feel less guilt about nurturing something

a little friendlier? You have to know that bringing this chickie home will hurt your wife. I mean, come on. Oh, the great mysteries of our world: Stonehenge, Loch Ness, cold fusion, and how ever will your wife react to “Honey, that pretty woman half your age wants to know what she can bring to dinner. I mean, besides her hot self.”

to get angry in the most unique, brilliant and constructive way possible. Merely being annoyed and muttering generic curses will definitely not be sufficient. Nor will it work for you to get consumed in knee-jerk rage or to be peeved about the same old boring targets that everyone reacts to. What the cosmos needs from you this week, Aries, is a controlled explosion of liberated, compassionate, laser-sharp fury that will fuel your ingenious drive to change everything for the better.

IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): Are you having intense cravings for candy? Do you find yourself leaning in the direction of sappy emotions and syrupy words?

That’s what my astrological projections suggest.

And if that’s indeed the case, I’d like to steer you in a different direction. It’s not that an extravagant involvement in chocolate and sentimentality is wrong or bad. But what you truly need, in my opinion, is a more muscular, provocative sweetness.

A wilder, more vibrant sweetness. A sweetness that can smash obstacles and incite high magic. <Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): I won’t protest if you try to conceal yourself from bullies or gossips or critics or narcissists. You have cosmic permission to hunker down and keep a low profile. But please don’t hide from yourself. In fact, I encourage you to make yourself extra available to yourself. Listen respectfully to the questions and comments that your shadow murmurs in your inner ear. Be eager to tune in to the messages your body is longing to tell you. These communications might sometimes be a minor pain in the ego, but the long-term benefits to your soul could be substantial.

8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): I have tuned in to your yearning for resolution, O Seeker. I know that your heart fervently wants the riddles to run their course, the mysteries to be revealed, the uncertainties to be quelled. And I have ransacked my imagination in search of what consolation I might provide to appease your quest for neat, simple truths. But what I have concluded, O In-Between One, is that any solutions I might try to offer you would not only be fake, but also counterproductive. What you actually need, I suspect, are not answers to your urgent questions, but rather, better questions; more precisely formulated questions; more ruthlessly honest questions. Dig deeper, please. Open wider. Think fatter.

AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): No one knew there was coal in the United States until 1790. A hunter who was wandering near Pennsylvania’s Broad Mountain stumbled upon it accidentally when his campfire lit up an outcropping of pure anthracite. That discovery was both a blessing and a curse; since then, the mining of coal has yielded abundant energy but also environmental degradation. I predict a metaphorically similar event for you in the coming days, Leo. You will inadvertently find a potentially enormous source of valuable fuel that will, like coal, present you with both rich opportunities and knotty dilemmas.

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): I dare you to say yes to a possibility you’ve said no to in the past. I double dare you to try an impossible thing before lunch each day. I triple dare you to imagine you’re a genius at inspiring people to like you and help you.

I quadruple dare you to drive overly stable people crazy for all the right reasons. I quintuple dare you to fantasize that your so-called delusions of grandeur have begun to contain more than a few grains of truth.

A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): I know a 19-year-old woman who has been going through an especially vivid phase of living on the edge between yes and no. She told me that yesterday morning she woke up with the feeling that in the next 12 hours she could either commit suicide or else perform some epic deed in which she surpassed all of her previous limits. She chose the latter path, completing an 18mile bike ride that tested her endurance and drove her into the heights of exhilaration. As she pedaled, she drove herself onward with the throbbing thought that this was a perfect way to silence the self-destructive voice within her. I offer her victory to you, Libra, as being worthy of imitation.

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Let’s take inventory of your harvest, Scorpio. What blossomed for

you these past months? Which of the seeds you planted last March and April sprouted into ripe, succulent blossoms? Which seeds grew into hard, spiky clumps? And what about weeds, pests and predators? Were you tireless about keeping them away from your beauties? Finally, what did you learn about growing things that could give you a green thumb when you cultivate your seeds in the next cycle?

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Before she became a rock goddess, Gwen Stefani cleaned the floors at an ice cream parlor. Prior to ascending to stardom, Ellen DeGeneres was an oyster shucker, Keanu Reeves worked as a janitor and Brad Pitt performed as a giant chicken mascot. As for me, my gig as an internationally syndicated astrologer was not my first. Among many other things, I washed enough pots and pans in cheap restaurants to fulfill my dishwashing karma for my next five incarnations. I hope these examples serve to inspire you, Sagittarius. Even during the down economy, the next six months will provide you with ripe astrological conditions for upgrading your job. And the coming weeks will be prime time to brainstorm about how to go about it.

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): I know some brave

pioneers who make responsible use of psychotropic drugs as they map out the borderlands of consciousness. I’m glad they’re doing that work, but my path is different. I don’t indulge in marijuana, LSD, ayahuasca or psilocybin. However, my many years of doing meditation, dream work and various spiritual practices have nevertheless transformed me into a radical mystic with some of the same knowledge that the psychedelic experimenters have. Keep that disclaimer in mind as you ruminate on my advice for you, which is this: Blow your own mind, baby. Raise your expectations, supercharge your fantasy life and make forays out into the frontiers. Get high in ways that are appropriate to your ethical code.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): I love the new

neighborhood I just moved to. It’s insanely eclectic. Modern suburbanlike homes with impeccable emerald-green lawns stand right next door to bedraggled 1950s-style ranch houses with unfinished plywood for garage doors and high brown weeds blanketing the front yards. A rusty mustard-yellow 1977 Cadillac Seville sporting a McCain-Palin bumper sticker is parked on the street next to a shiny 2007 Volvo with a sticker that advises, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Aging rednecks with fishing gear scattered in the driveway live next door to hipster musicians who blast psychedelic folk songs from their garage rehearsal space. I urge you to hang out in places like this in the coming weeks: where diversity rules, where the pigeonholes are exploded, where variety is not just the spice of life but the main course.

E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): The month of August

brought you some peculiar advances. You got a reward that didn’t mean as much to you as it might have had you received it earlier. You outgrew an enigma that had puzzled and frustrated you forever. And you finally wriggled free of a shadowy game that you had been attached to long after it lost its power to educate you. As curious as these wistful breakthroughs have been, they are prologue to what’s headed your way. Get ready to solve a problem you didn’t even know you loved.

You may say: This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But read some Straight Dope mail, and you’ll realize dumbest-thing-ever is a pretty high bar. More to the point, earlobe creases shouldn’t be dismissed lightly, as they fall into the surprisingly large category of weird signs possibly indicative of heart disease. If you doubt it, have a seat while we inventory your personal issues, as it were. You might think you’ve got problems now, but in reality things may be oh so much worse.

Earlobe crease (ELC), i.e., a line running diagonally from the bottom of the ear opening to the ear’s lower tip. I first discussed this in 1997, observing that, based on research then available, if you had hairy ears with creased lobes, you were basically a heart attack waiting to happen. The jury’s still out on the hairy part, but ELC’s status as portent of doom has been abundantly confirmed: • A Swedish study of 520 autopsies found ELC had a “positive predictive value” for coronary artery disease of 68 percent–80 percent in those under 40.

• A Turkish study found ELC was a higher risk factor for heart disease than diabetes, family history of cardiovascular trouble, or smoking.

• Of 340 patients admitted to the Montreal Heart Institute, 91 percent of those with ELC had heart disease versus only 61 percent of those without.

• An Irish study of 247 patients found ELC had a predictive value of 71 percent for heart disease, showing what statisticians call low sensitivity but high specificity. Translated: if you don’t have ELC, that doesn’t necessarily mean you donít have heart disease, but if you do have ELC, it’s a pretty good bet you do.

Why a connection between ELC and heart disease? Nobody knows. The most plausible theory I’ve heard is that ELC indicates premature aging.

You don’t have creased lobes? You’re not off the hook yet. We continue with our checklist of heart disease signs: Retinopathy. This is a catchall term for several types of retina disorder often found in diabetics.

If you’re a nondiabetic with one of these conditions, you have a 33 percent greater chance

of experiencing coronary heart disease.

Ring-finger length. According to Liverpool University researchers, a short ring finger in males = lower level of testosterone = higher risk of heart attack early in life. How do we define short? Typically a guy’s ring finger is slightly longer than his index finger. So divide your index finger length by your ring finger length. If the resulting ratio is greater than 1.0, you’re at greater risk for early heart attack. If it’s less than 0.9, your risk of early heart attack is low.

Male-pattern baldness. The largest study to date, which looked at more than 22,000 male doctors over 11 years, found men with frontal baldness were about 9 percent more likely to have heart disease than their nonbalding peers, while those with baldness at the crown (top) of their heads were 23 to 36 percent more likely—and the balder you are, the higher the risk. On the plus side, while a 2007 study at the University of Tucson confirmed that baldness = higher heart disease risk, it also concluded baldness wasn’t a reliable indicator all by itself.

Bad breath—specifically, bad breath due to gum disease. Some studies claim people with lots of antibodies due to bum gums have a 50 to 100 percent greater chance of heart disease.

One study found treating gum disease could reduce thickening of the carotid arteries.

Acne, absence of. A study of 11,000 U.K. males found that men who had acne as teenagers had a 30 percent lower chance of dying from cardiovascular or heart disease later in life.

Unfortunately, they also had twice the risk of dying from prostate cancer.

Green snot. An upcoming paper in Biochemical Journal reportedly shows a connection between heart disease and green snot, which is caused by an enzyme called myeloperoxidase. The enzyme fights bacteria by producing hypochlorous acid, which can also damage your body’s tissues and lead to asthma, arthritis, and atherosclerosis.
