WHY INDIANA BANNED SYRIAN REFUGEES B
oth the United States and Indiana have proud traditions of welcoming individuals and families who seek the safety and refuge that all Americans find within our borders. I believe we have a responsibility as the beacon of freedom in the world to welcome those into our communities who seek asylum in the land of opportunity. In September, President Obama announced plans to increase by 10,000 the number of refugees entering the United States from Syria. As we consider admitting additional refugees from Syria into Indiana, my highest duty and first responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of the people of our state.
GOV. MIKE PENCE EDITORS@NUVO.NET Mike Pence is governor of Indiana.
Indiana is not alone in making this decision. A bipartisan majority of governors from around the country have made a similar decision. The House of Representatives passed, on a strong bipartisan basis, legislation that would ensure Syrian refugees are properly screened. Hoosiers are rightfully concerned about their safety and security, and I encourage the Senate to move swiftly on this legislation. In the meantime, lawmakers would be wise to follow our own Sen.

SURRENDERING TO FEAR ITSELF N
ow we know. I’ve always wondered about shameful moments in American history, such as the internment of JapaneseAmerican citizens during World War II. We imprisoned people without trials simply on the basis of who their ancestors were. We betrayed not just basic principles of our law but the very core of the American Revolution, the bedrock belief that government cannot exercise arbitrary, unchecked authority. Why did we – we Americans who vow to defend freedom – do this? Because we were scared. And that fear prompted us to deny what Abraham Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature.” We’re in a similar panic now, so frightened by the attacks in Paris that we once again are willing to suspend our commitments to both compassion and the rule of law by banning refugees from horror-plagued Syria. That is why the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump, says he would force all Muslims in the United States to carry special identification cards. Trump is either unaware or doesn’t care that his proposal echoes the Nazis’ approach to German Jews in the 1930s.

He suggested that there also ought to be a Profile in Cowardice award – and he nominated Pence as the first recipient. “Pence is the Republican governor of Indiana,” Cohen wrote. “He was born in Columbus, Indiana, on June 7, 1959, apparently without a spine.” Cohen correctly noted that the United States is scheduled to accept fewer than 200 Syrian refugees this year – most of them women and children and all of whom have been vetted and investigated for years. Pence has responded to the criticism with another inarticulate national television appearance – this time on CNN – and a strange op-ed column in which he asserts that Indiana will continue to offer refuge to those people who really don’t need refuge and help to those souls who really don’t need help. The Trumps, the Christies and the Pences love to speak pieties about freedom but their real measure is much more basic: Be afraid. Be very afraid. Be so afraid that you stop thinking.

PENCE BEING... PENCE ACLU files lawsuit against Pence When Gov. Mike Pence joined 26 other governors in prohibiting the resettlement of Syrian refugees in Indiana and other states, several people made noise about the statement and questioned whether or not governors have the legal authority to take such action. Less than a week later, it actually happened. A Syrian family — a shopkeeper, his wife and their five-year-old son — were destined to arrive in Indianapolis, but instead were sent to Connecticut. The “Constitution State” took the family in with open arms. The World Church Service and its agencies located within the states actually work on the process of resettlement. The state — through the Office of Refugee Programs within the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) — provides healthcare, SNAP benefits (food stamps), job training, and other services to help refugee families get their lives started. Knowing the Syrian family would be denied those services prompted Exodus Refugee Immigration to work with another WCS agency in another state. On Monday Exodus announced the agency would resume placing Syrian refugee families as planned despite the written request from FSSA to halt all activity. “The actions taken by Governor Pence to block Syrian refugees from entering the State of Indiana are not in line with Hoosier or American values,” said Carleen F. Miller, Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc. executive director. “Indiana is a welcoming state known for our hospitality. History will judge us in this moment — whether we take the moral stand for victims of war and persecution in their time of need or reject our core principles by giving in to fear and terror.” The ACLU of Indiana followed that announcement with one of its own — a lawsuit was filed in federal court claiming Pence and the FSSA are violating the U.S. Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs receiving financial aid from the federal government. The state’s Office of Refugee Programs, which provides funding to agencies like Exodus, is supported in part by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The suit seeks an injunction to stop the governor from taking any actions to suspend, block or withhold aid from refugees or from Exodus. The organization is expecting up to 19 Syrian refugees in Indiana over the next few weeks and months. — AMBER STEARNS

LeRoy Malaterre receives honors from the state and his people
BY L O RI L O V EL Y ED I T O R S @ N U V O . N E T
n front of his family and friends, clad in his best beaded regalia, LeRoy Malaterre, the self-proclaimed “King of the Badlands” was bestowed with several honors on November 14, including one of the state’s highest distinctions, the Sagamore of the Wabash. He is the first Native American in Indiana to receive it. With characteristic humility, Malaterre cut short his acceptance speech, joking that the audience was lucky he was at a loss for words. But before the ceremony, he expressed his gratitude. “I’m overwhelmed; I don’t know how this came about. There are so many who deserve it; I don’t know if I do. It’s very much an honor; now I have to live up to it.” He says that this day of acknowledgement, which included the presentation of a Pendleton blanket and an eagle feather by the Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission, is special because “my peers and the people I love and respect are promoting this.” Elders have always played an important role in Native American culture and are deservedly honored for it. Elder is a term of respect bestowed upon someone by others in the community regardless of gender or age. “Age is not important,” states Sally Tuttle, a Choctaw originally from Oklahoma who played a pivotal role in establishing the NAIAC. “It’s more important to leave a good footprint behind for the younger generation, to live by example. Children are the most important part of our culture. LeRoy always makes sure children are included.” Known as people who have gained knowledge throughout their lives and taken careful note of traditions and ceremonies, elders share their wisdom and teach their culture and traditional way of life to younger generations. “An elder shares knowledge,” Malaterre emphasizes. “An elder must be kind, courteous and patient, and should lead by example to teach people and encourage them.”

NATIVE AMERICAN ELDER
and a Vietnam veteran. Now retired from Allison Transmission, he has been an advocate for Native American issues in Indiana for more than 40 years. As one of the most respected elders in the state, he is well known for promoting Native American heritage, racial tolerance and education, and has travelled to neighboring states to deliver cultural speeches. He continues to volunteer more than 500 hours a year for Native American organizations. He’s been a board member of the American Indian Center of Indiana, Inc. since its inception in 1992, is co-founder of the American Indian
Council in Lebanon and has been a Native American culture and heritage instructor for the Indiana Department of Correction as well as other civic and senior citizens organizations. He advises two school boards and the State Department of Education. He also sponsors a toy and clothing drive for the children on the Reservation where he grew up, which he visits a couple times a year. “Everything the Commission does is because he set it up,” Tuttle says. “He is always there to help.” He helps by playing a very visual role in serving as master of ceremonies for powwows and gatherings, carrying an eagle staff for opening ceremonies at the International Festival and cutting the ribbon for the opening of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. In addition to enjoying the music and dancing, Malaterre attends powwows in order to “share our culture for better understanding. There’s a lot of prejudice. People are skeptical of Indians.” “LeRoy has been instrumental in shaping the Native American community in Indiana,” stated Diego Morales, special assistant to the governor. “I am pleased to offer this special recognition to a man who has contributed so much to our Hoosier heritage.”
Honoring elders His contributions are why the Commission decided to honor Malaterre with an eagle feather and Pendleton blanket. Eagles are a symbol of leadership, their feathers considered sacred. To receive one is a great honor. The giving of a Pendleton blanket is a traditional blessing that demonstrates honor, admiration and respect for a person’s generosity and accomplishments. Placing a blanket on a person symbolizes wrapping the community’s respect and admiration around him. Receiving a blanket is believed to bring good dreams and prosperity. The Sagamore of the Wabash award is given only to those distinguished by humanity in living, loyalty in friendship, wisdom in council and inspiration in leadership. Sagamore was a term used by Native American tribes in Indiana to denote a great man whom the leaders consulted for wisdom and advice: an elder. n

What are YOU saying about Governor Mike Pence’s denial of Syrian refugees resettling in Indiana? Social media has since been flooded with comments and opinions both for and against Syrian refugee resettlement. “There are real dangers associated with accepting Muslim refugees. I know this because some years ago I had a close relationship with an Iraqi who fled Saddam’s regime. Some of the issues are easy to overcome, such as trying food that is so delicious that you never want to eat American food again. However, some issues are far more sinister. You may decide that our culture is not the only, or best option for your happiness. You might attempt to change your friend’s or family’s political ideology so they accept your newfound friend. You can lose sight of the things our culture says are important, such as consumer goods or the newest technology, because you have heard of the many trials and tribulations of your fellow humans who have lived without these things and survived unscathed in their absence. But the scariest, and perhaps most dangerous consequence of accepting refugees, is that you may find yourself in love, considering one of these refugees a viable choice for a life partner. In short, Americans must carefully consider whether we should allow Syrian refugees into our country, because they can change our lives.”

ccording to Jose Evans, one of the founders of the Black & Latino Policy Institute of Indianapolis, between the years of 1990 and 2000 the Indianapolis Public School system was the dropout capital of the United States. All five of the IPS high schools were considered “dropout factories.” But the high mobility rate in urban school districts can make it difficult to track students, creating dismal graduation rates for IPS and other urban schools. With students leaving for private and charter schools or otherwise unaccounted for, public school systems lose money, affecting the student population they serve. “I think it’s really time to start reclaiming them (from charter schools),” said Dr. Edward M. Olivos, associate professor at the University of Oregon. Olivos spoke with parents, teachers, students and community members about bicultural parental involvement and engagement in their children’s educational experiences. His appearance was sponsored by the Black & Latino Policy Institute of Indianapolis. The students who are staying in the urban public school systems are the bicultural children. Eighty percent of the IPS students were minority students in last year’s enrollment according to the Indiana Department of Education data. Olivos taught first grade in San Diego, Calif. for 10 years before pursuing his doctorate, claiming that a ban against bilingual education in California prompted him to further his education. Stating that he is far from an expert but rather versed in this area due to his 10 years in the classroom, Olivos said that parental involvement is important because it helps students get better grades, have better attendance, social skills, and behavior during school. But why does Olivos focus specifically on the bicultural parent community? “Bicultural students are the majority in a lot of school districts, particularly in urban schools,” Olivos said. “The socalled ‘crisis’ is in that community.” According to Olivos, teachers put assumptions on parents and why they aren’t involved, rather than working with the parent to help them become more engaged.
Understanding “bicultural” parents to help improve urban schools
Why aren’t bicultural parents involved? According to Olivos, they’re apathetic, they don’t place as high of a value on education because the value is entirely different compared to the way the U.S. views it, and they aren’t entirely confident in how the educational system functions. Translated into English, “educado” means “educated.” In the United States, to be educated means there’s a higher level of schooling with degrees to prove the education. According to Olivos, for Spanishspeaking Latino families, to be educated means to be “well behaved, respectful courteous people.” Simply blaming low-economic standing and a lack of parental involvement and education for academic underachievement is just a correlation, according to Olivos, and not the overall cause. “Social economic status is not the cause of academic underachievement,” Olivos said. “If that were the case, no poor kid would ever do well in school.” Instead of just preaching parental involvement, Olivos sets out to educate

citizens in the fullest sense — change agents who can transform urban schools and neighborhoods.” Parental engagement can be a very political process by sizing up the parents based on their own education and work. Olivos admitted that even he as teacher had bias. He said that every teacher has bias, that it’s only natural, but that these biases need to be addressed. “Social economic status is not the Olivos said that there cause of academic under-achievement. needs be a paradigm shift about how teachers If that were the case, no poor kid think about their relationships with parents would ever do well in school.” and how they interact — EDWARD OLIVOS with them as well. “I’m not saying that we need to overturn and overrun schools and kick out different school districts and communi- capitalism,” Olivos said. “I’m talking about ties about parental engagement rather a paradigm shift about how we think about than involvement. parents, how we think about schools, how “Parent involvement ... is what we we think of our engagement.” call ‘prescribed’ or ‘sanctioned’ activiOlivos also added that in order to be ties,” Olivos said. on equal footing with the administraDennis Shirley wrote in his book tion, it is critical to be informed.

CHARITY
Can you imagine you and a small group of friends hanging out with penguins while they walk through paint and on a blank canvas? How about a walrus using its mustacial vibrissae (more commonly referred to as whiskers) or Emily’s favorite, an elephant holding a paintbrush with its trunk? You can actually do that at the Indianapolis Zoo with Animal Art Adventures! And your fee simply goes back into the education and conservation programming the zoo provides and supports. Choose your friends, animal, paint and have a great time while supporting a great non-profit treasure in the city.

Quincy Owens has been putting a dash of color all over Indy: Mostly through his outdoor light sculptures. If you went to a show at the Lawn at White River at all this summer, you likely walked right by his glowing towers of neon color on your way out. Owens makes smaller versions that are safe for

Kyle Ragsdale’s yearly solo show just wrapped up at The Harrison Center for the Arts. This new line of work focuses on placing period costumes in modern settings and a year of loss, sadness and hope. Though this painting is not from that collection, it shows off Ragsdale’s intrinsic knowledge of color theory. 5. “Black dress pink skies:” $800 kyleragsdale.com When Jerry Atwood started to sew about ten years ago, western costumes made by Nudie, Nathan
Turk and Rodeo Ben were the things that captured his attention. His chain stitching has been used on everything from western jackets to these pullover sweatshirts. Also keep a look out for his denim and vintage workwear. 6. Hanging sweatshirts: $120 Pattern, see above

Indy Reads was kind enough to pick a few local authors and titles you should embrace for the winter. We are particularly excited to crack open Barbra Shoup’s Looking for Jack Kerouac ($13). The mix of stories and heavy hitting literary names in Indy Writes is always a safe bet.

Ed goes hurling
Want to rediscover your Gaelic heritage? How about trying hurling? (The athletic version, not the too-many-Guinnesses kind.) It’s a bit like field hockey; fast-paced and maybe just a mite dangerous. The good folks at the Good Earth in Broad Ripple can help you out with gear and advice. The “hurley” is the stick, the “sliotar” is the ball and the glove comes in handy for keeping your knuckles intact. You’ll need a helmet (not shown) — and the hockey jersey ain’t for sale, bub.

Brian and Amber go disc golfing
Disc golfers will tell you that their version is superior to regular ol’ golf for three big reasons: It’s cheap, it’s easy to learn and you can play in nearly any weather. The discs themselves are available from a local supplier by the name of Matt Boals at Griffin Disc Golf, and a three-disc starter pack — a “driver,” “fairway” disc and “putter” — plus a marker disc, towel and the tote bag can be yours for $40. (Compare that to the fees for just one round on a club-and-ball course. Get it?) The big basket shown is a different story: that’s an actual disc golf target. Boals and Indy disc-golf course designer Dennis Byrne (along with the Indy Parks Foundation) are rehabbing the “holes” at Sahm Park, and your company can sponsor one. Your business’s logo will be enshrined next to a hole on the course for the next two decades. 6.

VISUAL EVENTS Indiana arts, culture organizations awarded $100 million grant Indy’s art just got a little bit brighter. Tuesday morning Lilly Endowment Inc. announced its approval of a $100 million grant for 14 Indiana arts and community organizations. Most notable from the grant is the $10 million checks to the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO) and the Indianapolis Zoo. According to a release from the ISO the grant is one of the largest gifts in the organization’s 85-year history. “Lilly Endowment’s support comes at a critical point in time for the ISO,” said Vince Caponi, the chair of the board of directors of the ISO, in the same release. “This transformational grant will enable the ISO to expand its reach beyond the walls of our concert hall, will help fulfill an important commitment to our extraordinary musicians, and will help secure the future of the institution.” Likewise this was the largest gift in the IRT’s 44-year history. “These organizations have a long history of providing enlightening and educational experiences to the Indianapolis community and to the people of Indiana,” said Ace Yakey, the Endowment’s vice president for community development. “Their creative and energizing programs, exhibits, concerts and strong audience and community engagement have a significant economic impact on the city and around the state and on their national and international reputation. “Indiana marks its bicentennial in 2016 and Indianapolis celebrates its bicentennial in 2021. The Endowment hopes that these grants enable recipients to cross these milestones in a stronger position to sustain and build on their contributions to the cultural vitality of the city and state.” Here is a complete list of the organizations that have been awarded: • Children’s Museum: $10 million. • Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: $10 million. • Indianapolis Museum of Art: $10 million. • Indianapolis Zoo: $10 million. • Conner Prairie: $7.5 million. • Indiana Repertory Theatre: $7.5 million. • Indiana Landmarks: $7.5 million • Eiteljorg Museum: $7.5 million. • American Pianists Association: $5 million. • Dance Kaleidoscope: $5 million. • Heartland Film: $5 million. • Indiana Humanities Council: $5 million. • International Center: $5 million. • Josef Gingold Fund for the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis: $5 million. — EMILY TAYLOR

fter every flight back from Kenya, Rachel Christine Vreeman cannot stop talking about one thing to her friends and family — the age. Twelve to fourteen years old. It’s the age when many of children with HIV start to get really sick. She can see the warning signs. After all it’s her job. Vreeman is the Director of Research for the Indiana University Center for Global Health and specializes in longterm care of children with HIV in lowincome settings. Right now she is caring for 15,000 children and counting. Vreeman spends six months of the year working in one of 65 Kenyan clinics that Indiana University, Moi University and AMPATH created. In between seeing patients and making sure the medical care runs as smoothly as possible, Vreeman is using fashion to raise money for them. That is why she and Ice Miller attorney Dominique Price started The Pocket Square Project — an initiative to help

raise funds for Kenyan children who have been diagnosed with HIV. Fashion was actually the obvious choice for Price and Vreeman. They have been friends for several years and both have a keen interest in the industry. Vreeman will often have clothes made of the traditional kitenge fabric when she is in Kenya. Before a trip, Price asked her to bring him back some pocket squares. Because they were so small and could be made with leftover fabric she brought him nearly 40. He had the idea to sell them and give the profits to her to hire counselors to help the HIV positive kids during that pivotal time. “When they hit adolescence they start to
have a really difficult time,” says Vreeman. She explains that early teens is usually when they’re finding out for the first time that they have HIV. Even though they have been taking medicine their wholes lives, many haven’t been told that they have it due to the social stigma. “The whole family might be seriously discriminated against,” says Vreeman. “People lose jobs, they are forced out of their homes. There is a a lot of really terrible stuff that happens. And HIV is still really seen as a death sentence. Although that’s not true. That’s how everyone still sees it. “All they want is what any normal teenage wants,” says Vreeman, speaking about how the kids often feel. “They want to be like their friends, they don’t want to be different. They think of course that they are pretty invincible — like all teenagers do. A lot of things come together where they don’t want to take their medicines anymore, they don’t want to come to clinic. Unfortunately a lot of our kids are pretty fragile clinically during that time. So S E E , F A SHION, O N PA GE 2 0

THE ARTISTS BEHIND YOUR HOLIDAY T-SHIRT A look at local clothing companies’ design process

BY SETH JOH NSO N ARTS@NUV O . N ET
hen Graham Brown first conceptualized his eye-catching Indianainspired flag design, the young artist had no idea what he’d be getting himself into. “I started a rap group called Anderson’s Most Wanted [while living in Anderson], and all the lyrics were basically just a big “fuck you” to anything except for Anderson,” says the 27-year-old, Brown. “As I was getting ready for our last show I ordered some stickers. And while I was doing that, I just happened to come up with what is now the United State of Indiana flag — the vertical stripes with Indiana [where the stars would be on the U.S. flag].” At the concert, Brown’s merch idea was quite a hit, eventually leading him to start a business around the emblem. “I just kind of realized, ‘That design works really well. Maybe I should run with it a little bit.’ So the name United State of Indiana just popped into my mind,” says Brown. “It made a lot of sense to match that icon.” Since coming to this conclusion in 2011, the entrepreneur has seen his flag design take off, while also creating several other Indiana-centric t-shirts, sweatshirts, handbags, koozies and more. Due to this success, Brown has also managed to team up with many other local businesses and organizations, including everyone from Indiana City Brewing Co. to the Indiana State Museum. In keeping with this same collaborative spirit, Brown’s apparel will also be featured in the locally driven OUTPOST pop-up shop at Circle Centre mall this holiday season. Although he admittedly has no formal arts education, Brown has been an active designer since his teenage years. For example, in seventh grade he remembers illegally downloading Adobe Photoshop.

“My approach has always been more to design a product that makes sense for myself and then find a way to communicate why it makes sense to people who don’t get it right off the bat,” says Brown. “So if the vertical flag with the state of Indiana on it doesn’t immediately make sense, that’s okay. Give me six months, and I’ll build something around it that hopefully does let you relate.” This approach is similar to that of Daniel Jewett, who works as the designer with the Indy-based clothing and apparel company Vardagen. With a permanent shop located on 116th Street in Fishers, Vardagen (which means everyday in Swedish) t-shirts often reflect midwestern themes due to Jewett’s approach to his design work. He explains, “A lot of it is kind of just inspired by what I run into daily. So I’ll see something that piques my interest, and then I think about how that can be communicated in apparel form.” Similarly to Brown, Jewett eventually finetunes a simple sketch of an idea, before it’s sent off to be screen-printed. “It’s all pretty much sketched in pencil,” Jewett says of the concept-to-t-shirt process.

if they stop taking their HIV medicines they can get sick really really fast.” While their program provides free medical care, they haven’t been able to lock down the funding for extra programs like counseling and support groups — things that have been proven to keep kids on track with their treatment. So this time last year, Price and Vreeman decided to see what they could do to fix it. Vreeman started going to the markets to buy fabric for more squares. Then she found out that the Tumaini innovation center (a place that provides support for street kids in Kenya) wanted a simple source of income. They began a partnership where she pays them to make the squares then brings them back to the U.S. to be sold. Volunteers who work with Vreeman bring back cases full of the fashion accessories every time they fly home. So far the pocket squares
tures as part of fashion lines,” says Price. “Like I think Ralph Lauren used kind of Native American motifs in one of his lines. I thought that was interesting and people like that kind of thing, but what are you giving back? You are taking something from a culture but what are you giving back? I think the idea that we are using this Kitenge fabric that’s an important part of the Kenyan culture and the proceeds are going back to Kenya. It’s threading awareness, knowledge and raises funds all together and brings attention to these issues.” The cultural appropriation is something “I love being able to take those that The Pocket Square counters head on, beautiful traditional fabrics and bring Project and it’s a focus for both Price and Vreenman. them here in a way that connects “I love being able to take people.” — RACHEL CHRISTINE VREEMAN those beautiful traditional fabrics and bring them here in a way that conhave paid for things like a traveling psynects people, even far away, with those chiatrist to be able to meet with children stories,” says Vreeman. “I think the pocket and a 15-team soccer tournament that is squares — because they are made from coming up on World AIDS Day in Kenya. these bright, vibrant usual patterns of These kinds of benefits are the heart fabric — they’re real conversation starters. and soul of the project, but the susteThat way it’s like taking the story about our nance is still the designs themselves. kids in Kenya and kids who are growing up That’s where Price comes into the picture. with HIV and what we want to do for them He helps merchandise and select designs. and what we want to change their stories. “From the fashion perspective I saw a lot Literally putting that story in your pocket of people and designers using different cul- in a way that people ask about.” n

“Then, I just hand draw it digitally for making film off of, and then we print it. It’s pretty manual and analog to an extent.” In doing all of this though, he also, like Brown, makes sure that the design makes sense for both himself and for customers of Vardagen. “A lot of time and effort goes into creating each of these pieces so that they’re significant to the person who wears them,” says Jewett, who does a lot of drawing on the side of Vardagen, but mostly for himself. “It’s not about trends, and it’s not stuck on whatever culture is obsessed with at the moment.

In lieu of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, United State of Indiana will have a huge online sale appropriately called Hoosier Tuesday (Dec. 1), which Brown says is usually the company’s biggest online selling day of the year.

JAKE JOHANNSEN: Well, I did that special and it’s called “Pictures of My Dinner.” Currently it’s available for download on my website or you can buy the dvd package. The TV show I did with my friend we were not able to sell, but I think you can watch the pilot… it’s onward and upward as far as that goes. I’ve had another idea.

that got written about me: You know when someone will say something super nice and flattering about us, and in your mind you don’t really tell people that. When I read that Gary Larson thing, I was like, “Oh, they can read my mind! They know what they want me to say.” NUVO: What is your best memory of being on Letterman?
JOHANNSEN: So many. I mean you talk about great stages — that Ed Sullivan Theater. I can’t believe that I didn’t mention that one sooner. I mean, The Beatles, Elvis Presley performed there. My favorite memory there: I was on the show one time with Sean Connery, he came down from the ceiling on a jet pack. That was a pretty awesome night. And my last appearance was great for me because I wanted to do a good set. Which my comedy set went well, and I also wanted to tell Dave — you want to have kind of a heartfelt sentiment and tell someone your true feelings then you want to make jokes. That was a big night for me. NUVO: What’s the pinnacle of comedy for you? Is it the hour special? JOHANNSEN: I think the answer that I like to give about that is — I think almost every comedian would agree with but not many people say out loud — the best day in comedy is the day you quit your day job. And really everything else is gravy after that. NUVO: What do you think of Donald Trump? JOHANNSEN: Oh, boy. You know I keep thinking I am going to watch one of these Republican debates then I don’t get to watch it on the night because I am busy doing something. Then I’m going to go watch it on the internet. Then they have another one and I think, “Well, I’m not going to watch the first one, I’ll watch the second one because I have already heard about the first.” So I haven’t actually watched the debate yet. But I am finding the little nuggets that I am getting from Donald Trump are … I think he is a better entertainer than he would be as president. If he gets elected president … I vote, and I absolutely don’t think I am going to be voting for Donald Trump, but if he got elected it would be a kooky ride. So that would be kind of fun. I don’t know. I can’t figure out how anything works anymore. n
Printing Partners Pops Series: Program Three r Nov 20. The night was a sterling concert for the ISO. The regular roster of ISO players and guest backup combo artists (not named in program) with vocalists Josh Turner, N’Kenge, Jim Hogan, Ron Remke and Melissa Schott delivered good music with a joyful attitude. If you haven’t been following 2015 Butler guitar major graduate Josh Turner, you should. At Butler, he performed with the Chorale and Out of the Dawg House. I’m not sure when he started posting on YouTube, where he gained a following, especially attracting attention for a June 2014 rendition of Paul Simon’s “Graceland.” Over 433,000 views landed him an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America open mic segment and that led to a gig at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Turner performed with the ISO on Nov. 20, making his debut with Jack Everly at the ISO POPS ‘70s and ’80s decades program. He seemed totally at ease with a foursome of other seasoned performers, each gaining star turns and all working in unison for fine harmony. Throughout, arrangements by Fred Barton, ISO POPS arranger for the past decade, lent fresh approaches to Elton John “Tiny Dancer/Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” Paul Simon “The Sound of Silence,” Marvin Hamlisch “The Way We Were,” Neil Diamond “Sweet Caroline” and particularly a show-stopping homage to Frank Sinatra for his 100th birthday remembrance, a conversational medley of “My Way/I Gotta Be Me” with Jim Hogan and Ron Remke in separate spheres on stage coming into unity at the close. ISO players especially got their moment in Everly’s delightful Chicago Medley arrangement. Yes, four numbers down into the program Turner gifted with his take on Graceland, a low-key homage that’s just right. — RITA KOHN Up next: IPL Yuletide Celebration Dec. 4, 8 p.m. Sandi Patty and Jack Everly host with a cast of Broadway’s best singers and dancers to celebrate 30 years.

As a human raised by elves, Will Ferrell is an endearing, wide-eyed embodiment of innocence. As corny and clichéd as this sounds, Elf really is fun for the whole family.

How a young woman must navigate the immigrant experience
Miracle on 34th Street Nov. 29, 7 p.m. Described in its debut trailer as “a film that has it all,” this holiday classic follows a trial to prove that a department store Santa Claus is the real deal. Released in 1947, the film stars Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle and a young Natalie Wood as a sweet but skeptical secondgrader who befriends him during his quest to confirm his identity.

et in 1952, Brooklyn follows a young Irish woman as she leaves her small town and heads for America to begin a new life. The superbly crafted film presents the immigrant experience romantically, while feeling realistic enough to pass muster. Late in the film, when the lead character must make a major life decision, both choices are laid out so well that it is not immediately clear what her decision will be. Impressive stuff. Director John Crowley (Boy A, Intermission) teams with screenwriter Nick Hornby (author of High Fidelity and About a Boy) for the adaptation of Colm Toibin's bestseller. The production is broken into three parts: Getting Ready to Leave Color-Desaturated Ireland, Life and Love in Sunny Brooklyn, and Back to a Much Brighter Ireland and a Decision. There are some flat moments scattered throughout the movie, and a third-act plot contrivance is a bit annoying, but most of the film is sweet, sad, stirring, and smart – sometimes simultaneously. There are plenty of laughs, too. Credit the director, writer and the fine cast, particularly lead Saoirse Ronan, for making Brooklyn shine. Eilis Lacey (Ronan) is a soft-spoken young woman who works for a foul shopkeeper (Brid Brennan) and lives in the shadow of her charming older sister Rose (Fiona Glascott).

The film recalls the gritty look and mood that makes Rocky seem so raw and real. Last but certainly not least, it’s an absolute joy to watch Sylvester Stallone slip back into the role of Rocky. He towers over the film like a gentle giant, delivering a tough yet tender performance. Few scenes this year are more moving than the moment in which Rocky limps up the stone steps leading to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, slowly but surely recreating the scene from the first film that turned Stallone into a star. Creed may turn Coogler and Jordan into bigger stars as well. Like Rocky, this is hardly an edgy, earth-shattering film. But like every underdog story, its strength rests in its modesty. The biggest surprise of this sports story is how it manages to move you even when you know exactly how it will play out.

Creed defies expectations with Donny’s love interest though. Bianca (Tessa Thompson) transcends the typical worried girlfriend role we see often in this kind of film. Despite her progressive hearing loss, she continues her singing career — just like Donny keeps fighting with the odds stacked against him. Even as she grows concerned about him, you can sense that Bianca sees herself in Donny and therefore can’t help but sympathize with his perseverance. It’s a subtle, engaging love story. Coogler creates an equally evocative atmosphere. Like he did in his powerful directorial debut Fruitvale Station, he immerses you in the urban setting. You’ll practically feel the Philadelphia wind whipping against your face and the rust of the city scraping beneath your fingers.

pride), and remind them that this is an opportunity to show who is the “bigger” person, then keep serving that person food so they can stay sober and maintain the high ground. Have the second-loneliest person at the party take the other person outside for a good ol’ fashion pep talk and remind her, Gloria Gaynor-style, that they will survive.
isten, we know that the holidays can cause some tricky social situations, whether it’s an overserved party guest or a party that is serving exactly zero fun vibes. Don’t worry. We know how to handle any situation, from the office to the home.
Scenario: Someone brought a not-well-behaved kid What to do: First of all, print, in large letters, “Adults only, please” on your invite/e-vite. If you don’t do that, the kids that show up are now part of the party and you have to entertain them. Assuming you don’t have a padded room with a tv mounted more than six feet off of the ground, settle instead for a little iPad/iPhone time (the kid’s parents’, not yours) in a room with a closing door. Whenever you throw a party and you invite people with small kids, you should grab at least one bag of kid-friendly frozen food around, like pizza rolls or chicken nuggets. If the friend who brought the kid(s) asks if they’re organic, you’re allowed to throw molten pizza projectiles until all those people leave your home. Despite the grousing of my fellow childless friends, I do think that it’s a good idea to keep some kid stuff around (cheap toys and games that you don’t mind breaking and some old blankets you can throw over your furniture to protect from spills) when you get to the age that kids might show up in your home.
Scenario: Your boss is drunk at the office holiday party What to do: The “what” of this problem is largely dependent on what kind of boss he or she is. If your boss is the kind that likes to think of everyone in the office as a “big family,” it’s time to treat them like the matriarch or patriarch of a large family: ask them to tell a hilarious story. Yes, you’ll have to endure a few minutes of drunken storytelling, but after some dramatic arm gestures and light shouting, they’ll be all worn out and awash in an attention glow. If they’re the kind of boss that “doesn’t see the problem” with asking their people to put in 15 extra hours a week during the holidays, just walk him over to some steep stairs and let physics do its thing. Scenario: You are drunk at your holiday party What to do: Uh-oh, buddy. You let the tide of yule wash all over you, and now you look like a sailor walking on hard ground for the first time in months. If you’re trying to keep this from your coworkers or boss, quietly call an Uber and Irish Goodbye it the hell out of there. However, if this is not a job you’d like to keep, feel free to use the liquid motivation to give the greatest, drunkest, “I quit” speech ever given in any office. Scenario: Your boss is drunk and flirting with you What to do: Oh shit, it’s happening, and you can’t just walk away or talk about your fake significant other. Instead, do what nursing home orderlies have been doing for years: turn this one-sided sexual tension into a big friendly joke about how you’re in a deep, committed relationship. Also, making a joke out of it is a way for you to send a very clear signal about the likelihood of a hookup.

Your Thanksgiving meal may start like this, but get a second life as a burrito or quiche.

Scenario: You got a gift that you absolutely do not want at a White Elephant exchange What to do: Find a way to make it precipitously worse. If someone wants to be “that person” who brings the sex toys or generally awkward items to the White Elephant, that’s fine, but you have the right to serve your comeuppance in the form of really going into detail about everything you’re going to do with it. “Oh, a back massager made entirely out of plastic dicks! I can’t wait to get home after a long day of dealing with all your dicks and press it deep, deeeeeeeeeep into my back. Oh thank God the dickhead massage points are so rounded!” The lower you can drop your voice when you’re describing what you’re going to do with it, the more skeeved out everyone will be and that will be the end of dick gifts at the White Elephant.
Scenario: Someone said something racist at dinner
Scenario: You invited two exes to your holiday party who do not get along and a storm is brewing
What to do: Usually, we’d chalk this up to an older person forgetting their manners in changing times, but these days you can’t really tell for sure. Ideally, you wouldn’t invite any racists, but they get harder to weed out as this new brand of shameless, overt racism seeps into all levels of our society. This is one instance where we support leaving the table and eating in front of the TV as an act of defiance. After all, if you’re going to listen to garbage all during your dinner, at least have it be garbage you choose.
What to do: You big dumb bear. You invited two exes who don’t get along to the same holiday party? That first part is on you, so you have to fix the second part because technically, you created it. While it shouldn’t be your problem that your grown-ass friends can’t get along at social functions like adults, now you have to salvage the mood of the party before the whole thing crashes out. Here’s what you do: take the more rational of the two of them (or the one with the most
Scenario: One person is significantly drunker than everyone else What to do: Ok, so one of your friends came to the party after going to a couple of other parties. If they’re pretty drunk but otherwise cool and they didn’t drive themselves, just get some food in them and encourage them to have some seltzer and some laughs. If they show up and are belligerent, destructive or messing with the fun vibe, don’t feel bad for a second about calling your friend a cab and tossing them the hell out of there. You’re obligated to cut your friends with young kids some slack; you’re not obligated to babysit your adult friends who don’t know when to cut themselves off. Scenario: Your holiday party has no groove What to do: So you cleaned all day and now you want everyone to observe your hard work, so you’ve turned all the lights on to show off every gleaming surface. The problem is, now your vibe is all gone. The solution for a low-vibe party is always simple: turn off about half of the lights, put on Al Green’s greatest hits at mid-volume and let nature take its course. Good party vibes have a positive feel, music that even the most Caucasian among your guests can dance to, and soft lighting. n

Thomas England, chef: Don’t use the pop up temperature thing that is in some turkeys when you buy them. They go off when the turkey is overcooked and dry. Use an in-oven thermometer in the breast and pull the turkey out of the oven at 155. You never need to open the oven that way. Every time the oven is opened the heat drops and has to come back up. This means it takes longer to cook. And, the heat bouncing will also dry the meat out. Frank Felice, Italian, Butler professor, composer: Cook some things (like a pan of stuffing and breads) the day before and then reheat the day of — your outside gas grill (on low) is a great warming oven. Cooking turkey in a bag is a great quicker way to do a moist turkey. Edna Harp, small-business owner, grandmother, Thanksgiving veteran: I always cook my turkey in a cooking bag and it’s never dry.

After the tepid reception of Codes and Keys, Death Cab for Cutie’s seventh studio album, the foursome decided some things needed changing. And change they did: founding member Chris Walla excused himself from the group in the middle of the production of eighth album Kintsugi, although he finished the recording process as a contributor. Outside of the studio, tabloids covered frontman Ben Gibbard’s divorce from indie superstar Zooey Deschanel, and Kintsugi’s singles mine that territory well (“Was I in your way / When the cameras turned to face you? / No room in frame / For two,” Gibbard sings in “No Room in Frame,” breaking my heart every time.) This unflinching honesty in the face of great change for the band was intentional, says bassist Nick Harmer, who we reached by phone on Tuesday. “Codes and Keys was a fairly transitional time for a lot of us in our personal lives. That record had a lot of guardedness and a lot of protection in it, not only from a production standpoint, but also from a lyrical standpoint. There was a level of putting of some separation, I felt like. “When we started with Kintsugi, and given again where everyone was with their personal lives, things that had happened to us and were happening to us, and people around us and things like that. What really became important to us, especially when we were listening to the demos that Ben was turning in, was to really try and preserve a sense of immediacy and honesty in the music and in our impulses creatively. Sometimes in the past we would talk ourselves out of making musical decisions because we felt like, ‘Oh, maybe we’ve done that before.’ But that still felt like the most honest expression, but we felt like maybe we were repeating ourselves, so let’s not do that again, let’s go in a different direction just because. “[Producer] Rich Costley -- I’ll give him a lot of credit as a producer for helping us – really just allowed us to be honest about our musical impulses, our lyrical choices, our feelings, all of the things we were doing in the studio. When we would start to ask ourselves maybe the more heady questions of, ‘Where does this stack up? Is this something we’ve done before?’ He was just like, ‘Don’t worry about that stuff, just play what comes out of you. Be honest with your impulses and your instincts. I think that comes through. There’s an emotional immediacy in this album. Certainly lyrically. Hopefully there’s a lot of performances and musical choices and textures and atmospheres that support those choices and really fill the album out that way. — KATHERINE COPLEN See full show listing in Soundcheck

MARGOT MEMORIES
B Y RI CH A RD ED W A RD S MU S I C @ N U V O . N E T
EDITOR'S NOTE: In celebration of the five-LP collection of Margot and The Nuclear So and So's rarities – called The Bride On The Boxcar; out December 4 on Joyful Noise Recordings – we reached out to Margot's Richard Edwards for thoughts, memories and secrets about the recording period for each of the five albums. The Bride of The Boxcar includes 58 B-sides, unreleased tracks, alternate versions and other various recordings coinciding with each released album. The release is accompanied by an extensive bound LP book chronicling the band's 10 years. It's an expansive and intimate look at the Indy band. On to Richard! THE DUST OF RETREAT (2004-2007) What do I remember about the Dust years… Hmmm. Lots of all night recording. I worked and went to school, so there were a lot of completely sleepless nights. I quit both in short order. But it was so exciting to be making a ”real” record that was going to travel outside of our little social world. We were sure of it. The band was absurdly ambitious — no doubt obnoxiously so. We’d play anywhere that would have us. Pick up and drive to Minnesota for a show on a whim. We never slept. We really worked that record. I think there’s an impression that that one sort of took off (relatively) quickly, but we burned the candle for that thing for over a year before anything started to
CD RELEASE
Richard Edwards recounts the quiet moments behind each of his band’s five albums
THE BRIDE ON THE BOXCAR
RELEASE DATE: DEC. 4 INFO: JOYFUL NOISE RECORDINGS, JOYFULNOISERECORDINGS.COM go right. Even then, the response was so mixed. It was either LOVED or LOATHED hard. There didn’t seem to be any in between. I’ve gotten used to that. We also had the lovely luck of being beaten by a goddamn month or two (or something) by that Arcade Fire record, which sealed our fate of being lumped in with whatever the hell is going on there. Everyone was kind of annoyed by that. It took press outlets about three records to realize the only similarities were that the bands were too big. By that point we were old news, anyway. The songs on this rarities disc are full of naive youthful passion. I find it hard to listen to, but goddamn if I don’t miss feeling the way I did then. Like there was no door that couldn’t be knocked down if we just kicked it hard enough.
ANIMAL!/NOT ANIMAL (2007-2008) Oh lord. Where to start. There were many disagreements within the band on whether we should sign to Sony. Certain financial realities for a couple bandmates ended up dictating it to some extent. We spent 3 and 1/2 months in the studio making it. They didn’t want to put it out, but we had already booked the tour for it (since they had initially given us a release date). So we played a national tour without the album to promote. I talked them in to the stupid Animal!/Not Animal compromise [Editor’s note: The band released two albums: a label-approved and ordered version, and their own],
and we went on another tour to the exact same cities we’d just hit. That didn’t go so well. No one liked the record(s). We practically gave them away and now they get sold on eBay for hundreds of dollars and famous people tell me how much they meant to them. It was a complete disaster, and it took a huge toll on all of our relationships. There were already divides happening, but the Animal! fiasco expedited the collapse. I personally wanted to get as far away from it as possible. Felt humiliated and heartbroken. We got so much backlash and it was really hard for me to figure out why at the time. I thought we’d get some manner of respect for taking a major label’s money and making something as bat shit as Animal! It was dumb to assume that. I’m glad it caught on years later, I guess. In retrospect, it was a good thing it happened the way it did. It allowed me to crawl inside my head and write only what I wanted to write from then on.
BUZZARD (2009-2011) Getting loaded and making music that was meant to appeal only to us. Why not? Figured our goose was cooked anyway. The best songs I had written to that point were on Buzzard. We just recorded it how we wanted and had a pretty beautiful time doing it. Brian [Deck] basically did it for free because we were broke and he felt bad about how Animal! went down. He asked Tim Rutilli to come in and play slide, and he did, and was so kind about the songs. He refused money, but I caught Brian force him to take some of his own as he walked him out. I’ll never forget that. I was starting to have musicians reach out about their affection for the Animal records, so I started to slowly get over being bummed out about it. Greg Dulli asked us to open for them on their Twilight Singers tour,

ANNOUNCING BIG DAMN ADVICE WITH REVEREND PEYTON SUBMITTED PHOTO
The Bride On The Boxcar
and he and that band were so amazing to us, and cared about our shit so much, that it pretty much shocked our systems into gear to make another one right away. We wanted to get right back to work on a record that would be even more violent than Buzzard.
ROT GUT, DOMESTIC (2012) My girlfriend and I had (well, she had) given birth to a little girl, so the day-to-day was getting slightly less rock and roll. I was living in the Ukranian Village in Chicago, and playing with my Chicago friends. I heard that John Congleton would be interested in making a Margot record, so I whipped together a batch of songs real quick. We blazed through ‘em with Devon Ashley on drums, and Vess Ruhtenberg on guitar. We did basics at Electrical Audio in Chicago, since John was a student of Albini. Ate hot dogs everyday. Albini was nice. Wrote in his food blog (seemed like) most of the day. Finished the album at Queensize Twin Aire (RIP) in Indy. I slept in the studio; John basically got assaulted at a crack house motel he booked. I give him a lot of credit for dealing with such scary situations to make the record. He has a Grammy. Doesn’t need to put up with that. The tour for that record was the best we’d ever done. Everyone felt good, we were playing great. That record also got mixed reactions from fans, especially the ones who were put off by the turn we made with Buzzard, but I dig it and the songs were fun to play live. Those tours were the shit. We were worth the price of admission that year.
SLING SHOT TO HEAVEN (2013-2014) We got priced out of my beloved Ukrainian Village, so we came home to Indy and moved into a little house. I was a mess. My stomach pain had gotten worse. [Edwards has suffered from health issues that forced the cancellation of a tour in the last few years.] Could hardly stand up straight a lot of days. I was also dissatisfied with all sorts of other things. Started to feel like my life/career were falling apart. Spent a lonely winter writing these songs in a little bedroom. Was having dreams about past lives, all sorts of far out stuff. The songs kept coming out and they all felt part of the same world. I played them on my couch with my friend Kenny [Childers] and the way the two of us sounded doing that informed a lot of the vibe for the album. We threw all the computers out of the studio ‘cuz Tyler [Watkins] didn’t want to look at screens while recording anymore. It was a beautiful experience recording that album. We also shot a film on 16mm [Tell Me More About Evil] that captures the period pretty well. I hope I make better records than this, but if I don’t, I hope future people find this one in thrift stores and reclaim it. There’s something about this album that feels kind of important to me. It is “close to my heart.” Or maybe it sucks. Haven’t heard it in awhile. n

've been dying to interview the Indianapolis-born jazz legend James Spaulding for years. When I saw Mr. Spaulding's name listed among the honorees for this year's Indianapolis Jazz Hall of Fame induction, I jumped at the chance to speak with the maestro. With a career stretching into seven decades of performance and recording, I knew any single conversation with the 78-year-old alto saxophonist and flautist would be incomplete. But I covered as much ground as possible during our 90-minute talk. I spoke with Mr. Spaulding via phone from his home in New York City. NUVO: You grew up around the legendary music scene of Indiana Avenue. Aside from Walker Theatre, there's virtually nothing left from the glory days of the Avenue. I don't think a lot of younger folks understand how vibrant and important the Avenue was. Can you share a few memories of what the music scene was like on the Avenue when you were a young man? SPAULDING: I used to go out to the jam sessions at the Cotton Club on Saturday afternoons. There was another place I used to go called George's Bar. And there were other clubs on the street that would feature great music. Oh man, Jimmy Coe was one of my favorite saxophone players at the time and I'd go listen to him at George's Bar. Melvin Rhyne would sometimes work with him on organ. The scene was exciting. There were restaurants up and down the street. You could have dinner and then go to the clubs and hear the music. But it's gone now man. Last time I was in Indianapolis I went down to Indiana Avenue and I couldn't believe it. It was like it had disappeared. It was a very supernatural feeling.
A CULTURAL MANIFESTO WITH KYLE LONG KLONG@NUVO.NET
morning. I went down there and I was jamming. I met two of the musicians who were with Sun Ra. I met John Gilmore and Pat Patrick. They approached me and said "listen man, would you like to make a rehearsal with Sun Ra?" I said, "Oh wow, yeah! Who is Sun Ra?" (laughs) He was sitting in the back listening to the jam session. He was a very quiet individual. They told me the time to be at the rehearsal. I thanked Pat and John and the next day I went to the address they gave me. Sure enough they were all there. It was so amazing to see Sun Ra writing out the parts to all the different instruments. He'd write the parts out without using the piano. That's the thing that amazed me about him. He passed out the music and gave everybody their part. He gave me my alto part. We kicked it off and played this piece. I got through it okay, but then he told me to get up and play a solo. I said, ‘I don't see any chord changes.’ John Gilmore saw I was having some trouble, so he nudged me and said, ‘play. Just play what you feel."
Kyle Long’s music, which features off-the-radar rhythms from around the world, has brought an international flavor to the local dance music scene.
we rehearsed for a day and then went out to Ven Gelder Studio in New Jersey and recorded. After that my phone was ringing quite a bit. Duke Pearson would call me in for this or that record date. In fact I think I played on three of Duke's own albums. The Right Touch, you remember that one? We'd have two rehearsals before the recording date and they'd give you ten dollars apiece for transportation or to get a little sandwich or whatever. The third day you'd go out to Van Gelder's studio to record. We'd ride in taxis unless somebody had a car they wanted to drive. We'd go out there and it was a beautiful place the way he had it set up. Recording was wonderful with me being chosen for so many Blue Note dates and then later at Atlantic Records when Freddie went over there. traveling on
It felt like we were all this journey together and trying to make the world a better place, as Michael Jackson sang. That was my first experience with Sun Ra's band and I began to understand what he was doing. I was awestruck by the stories he'd tell us about the music, the planets and the universe. It was quite exciting to visualize these things with him. I'll always remember that experience.
NUVO: I know you went to Chicago in the late '50s. You made a big splash as a musician when you got to Chicago. You joined an early incarnation of Sun Ra's Arkestra which went on to become one of the most infamous and notorious and ultimately celebrated groups in jazz history. What do you remember about meeting Sun Ra?
NUVO: To skip ahead a few years later, you left Sun Ra and Chicago for New York City under the guidance of Freddie Hubbard. You developed a good relationship with the legendary Blue Note Records label and you played on so many classic Blue Note albums — it's almost unbelievable to me when I review the list of Blue Note albums you contributed to.
SPAULDING: That was quite an experience. I met him at a jam session in Chicago at the Pershing Hotel. They used to have what they called breakfast jam sessions. They started early in the morning when the musicians got off their gigs. They'd come down there and have breakfast and they'd jam afterwards until ten in the
SPAULDING: Oh yeah man, Freddie Hubbard brought me into the Blue Note stable as they called it. If the A&R man liked you they'd keep calling you. Duke Pearson was the A&R man at the time and he liked my sound. When Freddie brought me in for his first date, which was Hub-Tones in 1962,
NUVO: Starting with your time in Sun Ra's band you've performed and recorded with some of the most profound and revolutionary avant-garde musicians in jazz history. We're talking about names like Archie Shepp, Sam Rivers, Charles Tolliver, Pharaoh Sanders, David Murray and others. Some of this music was very advanced for its time and it still sounds advanced today. How did you feel as a musician approaching the more experimental and avant-garde sessions you were playing on? SPAULDING: It felt like we were all traveling on this journey together and trying to make the world a better place as Michael Jackson sang. All of us musicians like Oliver Lake or David Murray, for us it was almost like we were on a mission. We were obsessed with trying to make things better for ourselves and on this planet. Having dreams beyond this physical existence, reaching for the stars and the planets. n

EXCERPTS FROM OUR ONLINE COLUMN “ASK THE SEXDoDOC” ofus W
e try not to trouble Debby with too many non-clinical, research-based questions. This week, we’re having the civilian half of our sex column take a swing at some questions solo.
One is silver and the other bold I want to ask a guy out that used to date a somewhat close friend of mine. I didn’t know her back when they were dating (2+ years ago), and all signs say it wasn’t a devastating breakup at all, but still… Am I doing anything wrong?

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL SARAH: Ask any lesbian woman how often her sexuality — and I would guess even more so than straight female sexuality — is objectified and intruded upon by speculation, and you might understand why this is such tragic behavior. Every lesbian woman I know has told a man she’s going home with a woman as a means to get them the fuck away only to be asked, “Can I watch? Huh huh huh huh.” The fact that your friend has demoted himself to “basic dumb fuckboy” is disappointing on several levels, because I’m sure you feel like you’ve lost a friend and an ally in a world that’s still openly hostile to the LGBT community.
Life is too short to waste it on people who shit inches from where they eat.
SARAH: Probably not, but you’re a stranger on the internet who gave me a handful of characters to work with, so here goes. This is where language becomes more important than in a blindfolded orgy: did she say they “dated” or were they “together.” I know it may not sound like much but if she says she was “with” him, you might be dealing with a bigger deal. If your friend just dated this dude as we all do when sorting the human pile of partners in our 20s, I’d say don’t sweat it at all. My personal philosophy is that people break up for valid reasons, usually, and if they’re not together now, they probably won’t wake up one day and realize they’re meant to be — regardless of the length of the coupling. If you’re still worried, the easiest way to cut through this social fog is to just ask your friend. Who knows? She might have some insider info of note that you might want to know. Better that than worry anymore over something that could be easily resolved with one conversation.
Intruder in the Isle of Lesbos I have a male friend who is usually really progressive, feminist, and a genuinely good guy who has never made me feel weird or unsafe around him. Recently, I shared that my female partner (I am also a woman) had never had sex with a man but had always had a lingering curiosity about how different it would feel, although she doesn’t really have any interest in seeking out a male partner. Now, disappointingly, my once-cool friend will casually hint or joke about being in a threesome with us (dude, no.) and say shit like, “I’m so feminist, I’m basically a lesbian.” (DUDE NO) Just having the presence of that joke and energy has kind of poisoned my sense of safety and friendship with this person, and I’m bummed out about it. How do I address this with him so we don’t ruin our friendship but this ickiness stops finally?
Probably the second-most infuriating thing about this is the “I’m basically a lesbian part.” Listen, I love barrel-chested lumberjack types and video bars but that doesn’t mean I’m about to ask any of my bear friends if I can squeeze into their fuck sessions because “I get it.” You should start the conversation right there, because this assertion means your friend definitely does not “get it.” The best way to go about this is just to have a really brutal, awkward conversation about it. State your position clearly and if he doesn’t get the hint, drop him like a hot, dumb potato. Life is too short to waste it on people who shit inches from where they eat. Don’t give up on cool dude friends though, because they’re a great thing to have, and you’ll find them if you look. And maybe your friend will come to a greater understanding of what you have to deal with on the daily and knock it off. Everything’s not lost quite yet.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange, wrote novelist Carson McCullers. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known. I’m guessing that these days you’re feeling that kind of homesickness, Aries. The people and places that usually comfort you don’t have their customary power. The experiences you typically seek out to strengthen your stability just aren’t having that effect. The proper response, in my opinion, is to go in quest of exotic and experimental stimuli. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, they can provide the grounding you need. They will steady your nerves and bolster your courage. Aries

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Pekingese is a breed of dog that has been around for over 2,000 years. In ancient China, it was beloved by Buddhist monks and emperors’ families. Here’s the legend of its origin: A tiny marmoset and huge lion fell in love with each other, but the contrast in their sizes made union impossible. Then the gods intervened, using magic to make them the same size. Out of the creatures’ consummated passion, the first Pekingese was born. I think this myth can serve as inspiration for you, Taurus. Amazingly, you may soon find a way to blend and even synergize two elements that are ostensibly quite different. Who knows? You may even get some divine help. Pisces

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Virginia Woolf wrote this message to a dear ally: “I sincerely hope I’ll never fathom you. You’re mystical, serene, intriguing; you enclose such charm within you. The luster of your presence bewitches me ... the whole thing is splendid and voluptuous and absurd.” I hope you will have good reason to whisper sweet things like that in the coming weeks, Gemini. You’re in the Season of Togetherness, which is a favorable time to seek and cultivate interesting kinds of intimacy. If there is no one to whom you can sincerely deliver a memo like Woolf’s, search for such a person. Pisces

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some people are so attached to wearing a favorite ring on one of their fingers that they never take it off. They love the beauty and endearment it evokes. In rare cases, years go by and their ring finger grows thicker. Blood flow is constricted. Discomfort sets in. And they can’t remove their precious jewelry with the lubrication provided by a little olive oil or soap and water. They need the assistance of a jeweler who uses a small saw and a protective sheath to cut away the ring. I suspect this may be an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life, Cancerian. Is it? Do you wonder if you should free yourself from a pretty or sentimental constriction that you have outgrown? If so, get help. Cancer

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted, wrote Leo author Aldous Huxley. That’s the bad news. The good news is that in the coming weeks you are less likely to take things for granted than you have been in a long time. Happily, it’s not because your familiar pleasures and sources of stability are in jeopardy. Rather, it’s because you have become more deeply connected to the core of your life energy. You have a vivid appreciation of what sustains you. Your assignment: Be alert for the eternal as it wells up out of the mundane. Leo

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In their quest to collect nectar, honeybees are attuned to the importance of proper timing. Even if flowering plants are abundant, the quality and quantity of the nectar that’s available vary with the weather, season, and hour of the day. For example, dandelions may offer their peak blessings at 9 a.m., cornflowers in late morning, and clover in midafternoon. I urge you to be equally sensitive to the sources where you can obtain nourishment, Virgo. Arrange your schedule so you consistently seek to gather what you need at the right time and place. Virgo

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I suspect your body has been unusually healthy and vigorous lately. Is that true? If so, figure out why. Have you been taking better care of yourself? Have there been lucky accidents or serendipitous innovations on which you’ve been capitalizing? Make these new trends a permanent part of your routine. Now I’ll make a similar observation about your psychological well-being. It also seems to have been extra strong recently. Why? Has your attitude improved in such a way as to generate more positive emotions? Have there been fluky breakthroughs that unleashed unexpected surges of hope and good cheer? Make these new trends a permanent part of your routine. Scorpio

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): From the dawn of civilization until 1995, humans cataloged about 900 comets in our solar system. But since then, we have expanded that tally by over 3,000. Most of the recent discoveries have been made not by professional astronomers, but by laypersons, including two 13-yearolds. They have used the Internet to access images from the SOHO satellite placed in orbit by NASA and the European Space Agency. After analyzing the astrological omens, I expect you Sagittarians to enjoy a similar run of amateur success. So trust your rookie instincts. Feed your innocent curiosity. Ride your raw enthusiasm.

Are you resourceful enough to keep playing at a high level even if some of the other players don’t have as much integrity and commitment as you? Do you have confidence in your ability to detect and adjust to evershifting alliances? Will the game still engage your interest if you discover that the rewards are different from what you thought they were? If you can answer yes to these questions, by all means jump all the way into the complicated fun!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Whether or not you are literally a student enrolled in school, I suspect you will soon be given a final exam. It may not happen in a classroom or require you to write responses to questions. The exam will more likely be administered by life in the course of your daily challenges. The material you’ll be tested on will mostly include the lessons you have been studying since your last birthday. But there will also be at least one section that deals with a subject you’ve been wrestling with since early in your life — and maybe even a riddle from before you were born. Since you have free will, Capricorn, you can refuse to take the exam. But I hope you won’t. The more enthusiastic you are about accepting its challenge, the more likely it is that you’ll do well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): For $70,000 per night, you can rent the entire country of Liechtenstein for your big party. The price includes the right to rename the streets while you’re there. You can also create a temporary currency with a likeness of you on the bills, have a giant rendition of your favorite image carved into the snow on a mountainside, and preside over a festive medieval-style parade. Given your current astrological omens, I suggest you consider the possibility. If that’s too extravagant, I hope you will at least gather your legion of best friends for the Blowout Bash of the Decade. It’s time, in my opinion, to explore the mysteries of vivid and vigorous conviviality. Aquarius

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you available to benefit from a thunderbolt healing? Would you consider wading into a maelstrom if you knew it was a breakthrough in disguise? Do you have enough faith to harvest an epiphany that begins as an uproar? Weirdly lucky phenomena like these are on tap if you have the courage to ask for overdue transformations. Your blind spots and sore places are being targeted by life’s fierce tenderness. All you have to do is say, “Yes, I’m ready.” Pisces
