Pussy galore!

A truly ‘hack’-neyed response ...

Sun readers may not be aware that, as recently as 2010, Marin County ranked 7 among the 58 counties in California in the percentage of “personal belief ” exemptions granted to families to avoid vaccination against diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough) and, despite having less than 1 percent of the state’s population, Marin accounted for 15 percent of cases of pertussis in that time frame, according to studies cited in a recent article in California, a publication of the California Alumni Association. This kind of “my name is Jenny McCarthy and I have my head way up my butt” mentality must drive the schools crazy, so I am herein suggesting a solution that will place the consequences of such exemptions where they belong, squarely in the laps of Marin’s supremely neurotic parents. All we have to do is ban coughing in class. Every child who coughs, even once, will be removed from school for the day. A side effect will be smaller class sizes for our overstressed teachers. Who could argue? So much for the pipe dream of herd immunity.

A community-based vision that maintains quality of life, respects the limitations of water and infrastructure resources, and fosters appropriate growth will likely find widespread support. Instead of being stopped dead in regionally dictated, outmoded tracks, Marin can flourish with locally grown, 21st century solutions. But sometimes we need to stop doing the wrong thing to make room for the right thing to emerge.

Giving chicken nugget gourmands a bad name!

I’m writing regarding last week’s letter about the new Chick-fil-A in Marin [“Will Novato Support Gay Rights, or Delicious Chick-nMinis ...?” July 18]. Correction: This is not Chick-fil-A’s first Marin store; they had a prominent store in Northgate Mall prior to the mall’s (poorly executed) decision to boot all their food-court tenants to the curb in advance of their remodel a few years ago. Chick-fil-A’s political aspirations have in fact overflowed the bounds of simply the owner’s personal views; they have used their considerable corporate coffers to feed into “hate” groups, and they have used their considerable brand name recognition as a platform from which these “personal views” are reaching a wide audience.

Finally, marriage politics aside, Chick-fil-A sells factory-farmed chickens who (more than likely) have been raised in battery cages with their beaks cut off. They pay fast-food wages and siphon profits out of state. There are plenty of other restaurants without all these problems that we can eat at in Novato and throughout Marin.

Wouldn’t be the first time we had hair-of-the-dog under less-thanideal circumstances ...

I am a lover of dogs. I think they are the best animals in the world and the only love money can buy. Now with that stated ... I was sitting outside of Whole Foods drinking coffee and reading a book for about 20 minutes. During that time, I watched as three separate young girls walked across the parking lot with their small dogs. As each approached the shopping carts, they picked up their dog and placed it in the cart and strolled into Whole Foods. As they left, they took their dogs and packages and replaced the carts. Shoppers beware. Your shopping carts may have dog hair, dog feces and any other dog parts. So called “service dogs” are being put in shopping carts and carts replaced without cleaning. The management at Whole Foods knows all about this and does nothing unless you tell them to clean the cart. So imagine your produce sitting on top of dog dirt. Nice. Now again, I love dogs but they are not the cleanest of beasts. Not counting any allergies that people might

have, their filthy feet were in carts that people place their exposed produce in. Upon talking with the customer service people (who were overly nice), [they all] seemed rather unconcerned about the situation. So the bottom line is that people shopping at Whole Foods (and other supermarkets as well) get to put their overpriced produce in carts with all kinds of gunk from service dogs. And let’s be clear about service dogs. Anyone can register their animal as a service animal by simply filing online. Businesses are not legally able to question people about the animals. So right now, I am in the process of registering a goat as a service animal. Once I do, I will be walking into Whole Foods with my goat. If the goat happens to leave droppings on the floor, well, that’s too bad. After all, it’s my service animal and I care not about the rest of you people. Rudeness leads to more rudeness. That’s the way our society seems to be heading. Rather than uselessly debating the issue, I will simply make use of it.

A long road home Is it time for transit-oriented development? by Pe te r Se id m an

recent Marin transportation agency survey that took the temperature of county residents yielded some unsurprising results. People don’t like getting stuck in slow traffic. That’s far from an “ah-ha” moment. But what’s less obvious is that strategies aimed at trying to tackle the complex problem of traffic and congestion continue to meet hostility from many of the same people who complain about traffic and congestion. The Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) commissioned the survey, which polled about 750 residents by telephone. The largest group of respondents, 23.3 percent, indicated that it takes them more than one hour in their vehicles to maneuver on county roads. Some of the respondents traveled on county roads to destinations outside the county. A significant amount of the frustration about slow traffic, especially during commute periods on Highway 101, comes because of the percentage of solo drivers. Frustration with slow traffic also is a hallmark on Highway 580 to and from the East Bay. Highway 37 and Sir Francis Drake Blvd. are also regularly choked with traffic. Other arterial roads in the county experience significant slowdowns during commute hours and during school pickup and dropoff periods. The survey identified 62.5 percent of the drivers polled as solo motorists. It’s a phenomenon not unknown in the rest of

the Bay Area. But the vociferous reaction to suggestions that could ameliorate congestion is at least a little unique in Marin, where, according to survey results, only 8.3 percent of residents carpool. The gains made in multimodal transportation have been significant, with 4.7 percent of residents now biking to work and school. Added to that nonvehicular element is 2.8 percent of residents walking to work or school. Those numbers show an increase in non-motorized transportation. But they would have to be much higher to make a dent in congestion. Whenever numbers and survey statistics come into play, a debate surely follows. The discussion often can become mired in minutiae obscuring the core reality. That happened recently when a debate erupted over the numbers of Marin workers who commute from outside the county. A tally of the numbers depends on which statistics conclusions are drawn. Some say 60 percent of workers in Marin commute into the county. Others say the more accurate statistics point to 40 percent. The contingent that supports the 60 percent figure stands by its conclusions based on how the raw numbers are collected. The contingent that supports the 40 percent total remains adamant. The debate also involved the places where a significant portion of motorists originate their travel. Is it from inside the county or beyond the county line? The debate devolved to the

Mort Sahl and Joyce Maynard among 2014 Milley recipients Lovers of the arts, rejoice: It’s that time of year when the citizens of Mill Valley recognize the creatives who, through their accomplishments, have brought honor to the community. The city proudly announced this week the five outstanding honorees of the 20th annual Milley Awards, its Creative Achievement Award celebration. Scott Mathews, a music producer, composer, performer and entrepreneur who has played instruments with more than 70 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and on several Grammy award- and Oscar award-winning releases, is being honored for his achievements in the musical arts. Mathews has earned 20 gold and multi-platinum awards over the course of a career that includes sales of more than 35 million records as a producer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. He’s produced names that include Jerry Garcia, Elvis Costello and Roy Orbison, and has written songs and/or recorded with a wide range of artists that include Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt and The Beach Boys. Being recognized for his achievements in the visual arts is architect Christopher Raker, who has designed projects that include the Marin Theatre Auditorium, the Corinthian Yacht Club, Larkspur Landing and the Outdoor Art Club. Raker, who focuses on both environmental and aesthetic values in conducting retrofit design, has also served two terms on the Planning Commission, two terms on the City Council and two terms as mayor. Joyce Maynard, author of seven novels and four non-fiction books, along with columns, articles and essays, is this year’s standout in literary arts achievements. Maynard, who has reported for publications that include The New York Times, Newsweek, Forbes and USA Weekly, has taught writing workshops at Book Passage, and her most recent novel, After Her, is set in Mill Valley. The longest active performing American social satirist, Mort Sahl, is being recognized for his achievements in the performing arts, which span 60 years. Beginning as a speech writer for President Kennedy, Sahl was crowned by Time magazine in 1960 as the leader of the new breed of modern comedians. Said to inspire people like Woody Allen and George Carlin, he is also the author of the best-selling book Heartland. Murphy Productions, well-known for developing unknown venues and an original style of producing community-focused musical events, is being honored for its contributions to the arts community. Under the programming of Erma Murphy and Daniel Patrick, the Falkirk became a jazz room, the Belrose became a cabaret room, The Stage Door Dance Studio became a dance palace and Sausalito’s Studio 333 became a place of avant-garde experimentation. Current and past clients of the publicity arm of Murphy Productions include Marin Open Studios, Marin Art Festival, The Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival and the Lark Theater. In addition to the five Milley honorees, Gage Schubert will be honored with the Sali Lieberman Award for his longstanding support of the arts in the community, and the O’ Hanlon Center for the Arts will be awarded the Vera Schultz Award for lasting contributions to the cultural life of the community. Schubert has inspired art, schools, environment, theatre and community organizations that include Kiddo, Slide Ranch, Marin Theater Company and the Mountain Play Association, and the O’ Hanlon Center for the Arts has provided the community with workshops, performances, classes discussions and events since its start in 1969. Mill Valley is the only city in Marin County that officially recognizes the achievements of those in the arts community. This year’s distinguished honorees will be presented with their Milley Awards at a gala dinner on Sunday, Oct. 19, at the Mill Valley Community Center. Former Milley recipient and Grammy Award winner Rita Adams, along with Abby Wasserman, co-founder of the Milley Awards and former winner of the Sal Lieberman Award, will be the program emcees.—Molly Oleson Bolinas residents answer call to arms, join border militias ...? Has Bolinas gone Tea Party? That’s what one nationally known uber-conservative seems to think—as Free Republic Founder Jim Robinson claimed recently that residents of the quirky beachfront enclave had enlisted in the ranks of the Texas border militias on the patrol for illegals. Robinson, writing on the Free Republic website last week about “defend(ing) the border” to “protest Obama’s lawless open borders policies,” name-checked the hippy-ish coastal community in his fight to protect America from, if recent headlines are any indication, thousands of desperate children fleeing poverty in the Hispanic third world. “We have independent units from the Bolinas Border Patrol (BBP) and the Central Valley Citizens militia joining forces with independent citizens militia units of Texas to defend our southern border in Texas,” boasted Robinson. Robinson, who founded the Free Republic internet forum in 1997, and has become a Tea Party muckraker of sorts, might seem a strange bedfellow to be linked with the BBP. The Bolinas Border Patrol, of course, is the tongue-in-cheek name of the residents who tear down the road signs leading to Bolinas, in a longstanding custom of warding off outsiders from the eccentrically self-aware West Marin town. “The invasion is happening now,” Robinson added. “Action must be taken NOW!!” It was unclear at press time whether Robinson intended to return the favor, and join forces with his Bolinas compatriots in next year’s Fourth of July tug-of-war against the invaders from Stinson Beach.—Jason Walsh

ping destinations remains a relatively small fraction of the population, that fraction still could make a contribution to reducing traffic congestion. Transit-oriented housing would provide Marin residents with another option. It would not, as the most paranoid of transit-oriented development critics say, contribute to the “urbanization” of Marin. Planning decisions would remain the responsibility of local design review boards, planning agencies, city councils and the Board of Supervisors— and the people. Critics point to the WinCup development as an example of what Marin would look like if the county embraces a transitoriented philosophy and why it must be opposed. But WinCup has nothing to do with the transit-oriented concept. Rather it is the child of local design review and planning, not an overarching regional or even a countywide concept. The kind of opposition aimed at the transit-oriented concept because of WinCup is misplaced. The survey that the Marin transportation agency commissioned revealed deep frustrations among motorists mired in traffic during commute hours. And that frustration often extends beyond commute hours. There are just too many vehicles on the roads. Marin voters went to the polls in 2004 and approved Measure A by a 71.2 percent margin. The measure instituted a 20-year one-half-cent hike in the sales tax to raise local funds for transportation projects and roadwork. Voters in Marin and Sonoma agreed to tax themselves to help pay for SMART, which could add a game-changing piece on the transportation board, despite naysayers’ dire predictions. According to a 2014 update of the expenditure plan for Measure A, the latest total from the tax is an estimated $460 million that will be dedicated to transportation in the 20-year life of the tax. Given the frustrations that Marin motorists report, it’s not out of the question that county voters could approve another tax measure for more improvements to local roads. But experts agree that improving roads can go only so far to reduce congestion. It’s instructive to go back to 1998, when TAM commissioned a study that looked at a 20-year “transportation vision” for the county. According to a summary of the report, “Over 90 percent of all trips originating in Marin County are made in autos on roads built to standards established decades ago. Our transportation network is being asked to do more and more all the time as our demand to travel increases. This comes as no surprise to people who live here. Over 90 percent of those responding to a recent survey agree that traffic congestion in Marin County is a moderate or major problem.” The executive summary continues by saying, “In the past, we have been able to keep up with the demand for travel 9 > M

point that the core issue was lost: There are a lot of commuters on county roads contributing to congestion. Even if supporters of multimodal transportation and transit-oriented development might agree with the critics about the 40 percent figure, that’s still a lot of commuters on county roads contributing to congestion. Real-world observation tells the story. Traffic backups in recent weeks demonstrate how fragile the transportation arteries are in the county, and how overloaded they have become. When a big-rig overturned on Highway 101 near Highway 580, the incident brought east-west traffic to a halt. When a tanker spilled gas near San Quentin, it brought traffic to a halt. In cases like those, even alternate routes become clogged. The most recent suggestions to ameliorate traffic problems, at least to the extent possible, has been the vision of creating transitoriented developments along the county’s city-center corridor. That includes Highway 101 and arteries like Sir Francis Drake Blvd. The idea has met stiff opposition from opponents who say the concept of mixed-use development along the corridor is a ruse, an excuse to promote runaway development that would result in high-rises and high densities. The heights of buildings and the densities with which they are constructed in any area in the county is the result of design boards and planning agencies and city councils and the Board of Supervisors. They—and the people of the county—have the ultimate say over planning issues. The concept of transit-oriented development is an update of the mixed-use philosophy that Marin residents seemingly accepted without rancor for decades. Using property in downtown areas for retail, office and housing made sense to many, although the perennial concerns of traffic and congestion always were part of the planning process, as they should be. But it’s the concept of mixed-use along transportation corridors that has suffered from the animus of many Marin residents. The visceral debate about below-market-rate housing and density levels has obscured the intuitive supposition that if people—of any income level, even those who are affluent— can live closer to where they work or closer to the transportation they use to get to work, school and shop, there will be less traffic. The pushback against Plan Bay Area has drawn a curtain over the concept of mixeduse along transportation corridors. Critics throw statistics at the plan that they say prove people will not walk and bike to stores and work even if they live nearby. That’s counterintuitive. The critics use current transportation patterns to prove a theoretical future. It’s a negative position that suggests nothing can change. If going to the market is a short walk away, people, given an attractive multimodal transportation alternative, just might walk. That’s a positive vision of possible future patterns. And even if the number of people who can live near their work, school and shop-

In the past week, three separate incidents involving guns resulted in the serious injury of two people, and unfortunately, the death of two more. Last Thursday morning, road rage started a confrontation between two elderly men and a .357 revolver ended it. One man ended up in surgery and the other went to jail. Early Sunday morning, Sausalito residents reported hearing six shots and police discovered a couple dead in their home. Five firearms were at the scene, including an assault rifle. Gunfire erupted again Sunday evening, this time in Marin City, where deputies located a conscious man with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and face. What’s next?

< 7 A long road home by widening roads and making better use of existing systems. However, continued widening of roadways is costly and may harm our environment and the character of our communities. Looking to the future, one thing is clear—to manage congestion, we will have to provide a richness of choices that will enable people to travel differently, creating a sustainable transportation system that promotes mobility and maintains the quality of life we enjoy in Marin County.” That summary was written well before the state’s sustainable communities strategy became law, well before Plan Bay Area made the rounds of raucous public meetings. In 1998, Marin took the lead in looking at ways to cope with traffic and congestion without adding lanes to roadways. (Traffic engineers often say that widening roads never is a solution to traffic, merely an instrument of postponement. “If you widen the road,” they say, “vehicles will fill it.”) The 1998 report was prescient: “Building on current projects to address congestion and provide more transportation choices, this document represents the next step toward making significant and lasting change in our transportation system. It represents a synthesis of over three years of study and provides a vision for a multimodal future, where all modes of transportation combine to manage and

minimize congestion in the county.” The concepts in the report are built on the original 1971 countywide plan that called for the creation of the city-centered corridor in which development would be concentrated. The intention never was to “urbanize” the county. The intention was to protect the hills and open spaces from excessive development. The current debate over density levels and percentages of commuters working in Marin obscures that original vision. No reason exists to throw out the concepts because critics oppose certain density levels. If the levels are a concern, find ways to lower them. But the concept of transitoriented development can remain a core value that protects the character of the county rather than destroys it. The 1998 report also informs the debate about percentages of trips and origination locations: “Currently, about 50 percent of the trips entering the county from the north on Highway 101 during morning peak commute are destined for jobs within Marin. Nearly 80 percent of those entering from the east on Highway 580 are also headed for Marin County destinations. While trips traveling through the county en route to other places do contribute to congestion and represent a significant amount of traffic on Highway 101 (about 20 percent of the total [morning] peakhour traffic volume), these trips nevertheless represent a relatively small share (8 percent of all [morning] peak-hour trips)

of the traffic on the entire county roadway system.” Although the overall situation since 1998 remains essentially the same (the precise numbers may have changed), the one single paradigm-shifting alternate vision for the county—transit-oriented development—remains hotly contested. Transit-oriented development shouldn’t be confused or comingled with the issue surrounding below-market-

rate housing. Few would argue that the high cost of housing in Marin leads to a paucity of homes affordable to the bank clerk, the home-health worker, the young teacher and the paramedic. But it’s a mistake to confuse that issue with transit-oriented development, which the county could encourage for a variety of income levels—even at the top end of the market. ✹ Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com.

American musical H

Ramblin’ on Ramblin’ Jack

A Marin musical legend rolls on down the road

ot so long ago, many American boys dreamed of becoming cowboys—but of course few really did. Teenager Elliott Charles Adnopoz of 1940s Brooklyn, however, made his dream come true, running away from home to live the cowboy life. While that career choice didn’t last too long, it influenced the rest of his life, as he evolved into Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, a true American musical hero—often called an icon, a living legend and a pioneer. All of which he is.

Ramblin’ Jack has lived in West Marin for well over two decades. He was born on August 1st—his birthday is next week—at least eight decades ago, but as he notes below, he is now “aging backwards.” Hearing and seeing him play his guitar and sing, one tends to believe him. He still tours consistently, but given that airports drive him “crazy,” his travels tend to be literally on the road, as he has been famed for since the 1950s. And all that traveling means that he’s had memorable encounters

You can still find Ramblin’ Jack traveling on the road and playing shows across the county. 10 PACIFIC SUN JULY 25 - JULY 31, 2014

He one person and I took it and never saw them came around many times to visit, along with again. other authors and poets.

There’s ouac and Allen Ginsberg thought you were a “missing person” sign your parents made the one who was very good at stealing other that says: “May be on a ranch. Parents not guys’ girlfriends ... opposed to him staying on ranch.” Those writers were very biased, you know. You think they wanted to get rid of me? Then you got married and moved first to

Hollywood and then to London ... We got to London in 1955 and were in and out of there for six years, with my wife Jan—I mean June—I crossed wives there; Jan’s another wife ... we had a great time traveling around Europe on a Vespa motor scooter. Anyway, back in London they had these big tabloids and I recall seeing one reading, “FILM STAR DIES,” and it was one of June’s ex-boyfriends, a cat named James Dean who was just starting out. I’d met him some and serenaded him some in his white Porsche— the first Porsche in America—and the one he died in here in California. And when you got back to New York, there was this early 60s “great folk scare” scene going on ... That’s right, but I wasn’t aware of it as such; when you are in the middle of something it’s not like it was on TV or something. And there was this other nice non-Jewish boy named Bob Zimmerman, or Dylan, around. He was a young kid who wanted to be a singer. Yeah, Bob had just hitched in from Minnesota, to see Woody as much as anything, and was only 19 years old. I was there too, so we met. In his book Chronicles, Dylan wrote, after he heard one of your records: “Damn this guy was great ... he was so confident it made me sick ... Elliott was far beyond me ... I’d have to block him out of my mind, forget this thing, tell myself I hadn’t heard him and he didn’t exist. He was overseas in Europe, anyway, in a self-imposed exile. The U.S. hadn’t been ready for him. Good. I was hoping he’d stay gone.” It sounds like you gave the young Dylan an existential crisis! I didn’t mean to—I’d never heard of him yet at that point. But later I learned his song “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” from his record, over a bottle of Cutty Sark—the one with the clipper ship on the label—stuck in a nice warm cabin in a snowstorm for three days—that was some kind of speed record for

me, as it usually takes me three to six months to learn a song. And, when it thawed out we drove my 1950 Chevy truck motorhome up to New York City where they were having an open mic with all sorts of folksingers, would-be folksingers and has-beens, with my pals Dave Van Ronk, Peter and Paul—Mary was out shopping I believe—and I thought I’d get up on stage, as the previous singer had been booed off the stage. I sang “Don’t Think Twice” and Bob was there, and it’s dark in there with only a little light sort of glinting off his halo and he said: “I relinquish it to you.” I’d never had anything relinquished to me but it’s one of my favorite songs ever since. Van Ronk wrote in his book that your parents finally came to see you play around then and your mom loudly said: “Look at those fingers—such a surgeon he could have been!” Yeah, sometimes they never let up on all that ... You kept on recording through the 60s and into the 70s, and then reunited with Dylan for his 1975 “Rolling Thunder Revue” tour, with Ginsberg, Sam Shepard, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Roger McGuinn, all sorts of people, and some of Dylan’s greatest performances. That was great fun. There was too much whiskey. And there was a filmmaker doing a modern-day fairytale—a very long one ... That was Renaldo and Clara, Dylan’s notoriously baffling four-hour flick. After that you started recording in earnest again, and things seem to have taken off for you, and you wound up with Grammys in both folk and blues ... Bob Dylan wrote me a letter of introduction to the great John Hammond Sr., who had signed Bob to Columbia Records and had practically discovered everybody from Bessie Smith to Billie Holiday to a long list, a charming man who I’d never met ... Bob wrote: “Dear John, I want to introduce Ramblin’

MARIN’S BEST EVERY WEEK

<11 Ramblin' on with Ramblin' Jack

Jack Elliott, who is my long-lost father ...” etc., full of such nonsense. Obviously I’m not old enough to be Bob’s dad; I’m only 10 years older. It was great. And John’s son played on one of my records—in fact Dylan played harp on one, too, but couldn’t use his real name so he was “Tedham Porterhouse.” That record has just been reissued on vinyl, called just Jack Elliott. I think I’ve done at least 20 LPs all total. By 1998 you were in the White House getting the Presidential Medal of the Arts from President Bill Clinton. After all your hard traveling, what was that like? How was the food? The food was very good, once we got to it. I didn’t really know what to say to him. I don’t really rehearse such things, I just kind of blurt it out, hoping that it’s gonna be true. Now, I’d had one solid bourbon in the Abraham Lincoln Room and then two glasses of red wine before the dinner came and I got a little bit carried away—I get patriotic when I’m drinking and they were playing “America the Beautiful” and I was singing along “A-MERrrrica ...” and my wife Jan was a bit embarrassed. She looked over at the presidential table where Clinton was sitting with Gregory Peck, but Clinton and he were just grinning with me. I was singing along with the United States Marine Marching Band. I don’t know if they have a recording of that one. Your latest record came out in 2009, called A Stranger Here and it is fantastic, with a wonderful band, recorded in a basement once owned by the widow of President James Garfield in Los Angeles, produced by Joe Henry with guys from Los Lobos and such, and is mostly blues-based songs. I had little to do with putting that one together, actually. I listened to about 15 of the wildest and greatest old blues songs the record company guy had recommended, only some of which I’d heard and only one of which I already knew [how] to play. I just sort of took a musical bath there and let the music flow by as I listened to them, and then when I went down to Pasadena and met the guys and [we] started playing together I just thought: “Oh, OK, this is gonna be no problem, no worries. In fact, it’s gonna be great.” And it sure was. I think Joe Henry writes in the liner notes: “How many people in the seventh

decade of their musical career are making the best music of their life?” It’s just incredible stuff. Well, I thank you. And him. I bet you’ve never counted, but how many songs do you think you know? Hmm, I did count way back once when I was a kid, and I probably knew more than 300. Woody wrote 2,000 of ’em. I only know about 25 of his now I think. But Woody once wrote a long, long ballad about The Grapes of Wrath called “Tom Joad” and he put the whole big fat book into about 14 verses of a song. He later received a letter from John Steinbeck who was very pissed off and wrote: “You little son of a bitch, it took me 600 pages to say what you did in that one song!” How did you end up living in West Marin? Well, I first came here right after I met Woody, and he told me to go across the street from the hospital, where he was sick, to meet his wife and kid. I then drove out in a car, and I’ve always loved boats ... [Here Jack launches into a long involved technical description of boats, sailing and trucks with many names and dates, more about Woody Guthrie, touring with Cat Stevens and getting his favorite guitar stolen, all of it fascinating ... but never gets back to West Marin—but does demonstrate how he got his lifelong nickname, “Ramblin’.”] OK then; we can see now why Kris Kristofferson said about you: “I never heard anyone so enchanting on subjects I didn’t give a damn about.” Well, I do sometimes get carried away on subjects and forget what I was talking about. Pete Seeger was singing me “Happy Birthday” backstage at the Newport Folk Festival and I saw the cake and it said “80” on it and I thought: “Never been there, ain’t going there”—so I double-clutched, got it into reverse, and I’m going backwards now, and I’m 78 now, goin’ on 77. It’s the best decision I ever made. And I still go out on tour just to get cat food and diesel fuel—I like trucks, and the sound of trains and trucks, horses snortin’ ... and some music. I’ll keep making it as long as they let me. And then some. Y Ramble on with Steve at letters@pacificsun.com.

Whitney, a self-described “music documentary/performance film buff,” delves into music docs every chance he gets: flying to New York last weekend he watched the newly released All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs and Voice of Gregg Allman, a new concert film featuring Allman, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Taj Mahal, John Hiatt, Jackson Browne and Dr. John, to name a few. “Great film,” Whitney reports.

Whitney plans to screen music documentaries “once per month or so.” Currently, additional upcoming screenings are scheduled for Sept. 4, Sept. 25 and Oct. 30. Admission to the screenings is free, but donations are requested and will benefit the West Marin School music program in Pt.

n a pre-show Opening Night conversa- have recreated the mansion’s Gilded Age opulence and wants to show off his handition with critics, Ross Valley Players’ work to the city’s wheelers and dealers, just director Kim Bromley admitted that as the original owner, Arnold Strauss, who as she prepared to begin rehearsals for Wendy Wasserstein’s Old Money, the final made his fortune in retail sales, did when it offering of the company’s 2013-14 season, was first built nearly a century earlier. The question facing Kim Bromley and she realized there were some special problems that she hoped would not prevent her production staff was: How do you capture requisite high-end vulgarity, then and audiences from enjoying the experience. By the end of the evening it was clear to now, on RVP’s shoestring budget? Answer: Go minimalist. Let the audience’s imaginathis reviewer that she wasn’t exaggerating. Particularly for a small community the- tion fill in what can’t be shown.

What links a black box, only more aesthetically pleasthem is that wealthy hedge fund guru Jeffrey ing. Likewise, in keeping with the style, Bernstein, its present owner, is supposed to costume changes are few and far between.

Whenever producers resort to such reductionist measures because of economic constraints or to achieve an aesthetic concept, it puts a heavy burden on the performers to make the story resonate in people’s minds. For Bromley, it meant trying to find actors in the local non-professional pool with the skills necessary to play two sets of mostly unrelated characters in two distinct eras, all capable of projecting a distinctive New York voice and manner. Further complicating matters, several of the key figures are ethnic types. That’s a tall order and (perhaps needless to say) her search was not altogther successful. For me, the most fully realized performance comes from Gillian Eichenberger, dual cast as a feisty Irish maid and the troubled daughter of a crass Hollywood film producer. Other solid contributions are made by Robyn Wiley as a sculptress whose career is fading, and Geoffrey Colton, a formidable presence as the mansion’s former and current owner. Please note that I haven’t tried to summarize Wasserstein’s plot. Truth be told, Old Money doesn’t really have one. It’s a skimpily fleshed-out portrait of stereotypic New York glitterati who the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony-winning author apparently assembled to illustrate her belief that, at least on East 58th Street and Park Ave., the more things change the more they stay the same. Old or new, money rules. RVP should not feel too bad, though. A little research reveals that even when the play was sumptuously produced at its 2000 Lincoln Center debut, the critical reception was largely negative and I can’t recall another production in the Bay Area. Having now seen it, the best I can do is give the good people at Ross Valley’s Barn full credit for trying. Y Charles can be reached at cbrousse@att.net.

The good, the bad and the Monkey King Stephen Chow’s JOURNEY TO THE WEST: CONQUERING THE DEMONS is a none-too-reverent adaptation of a classic 16th-century Chinese novel—in fact it’s hilarious slapstick mostly, a sprawling comic epic in the best tradition of Hong Kong action pix A look at how many demon hunters are required to take down a villain as and Spielbergian nailfearsome and gruesome as its name: “The Monkey King.” biters. Zhang Wen stars as the hapless demon hunter Xuan Zang, sent by his master on a series of challenges to subdue demons terrorizing the countryside—not in order to destroy their evil, but to turn them good. Saving and upstaging his butt at every turn is the beautiful and lethal Miss Duan (Qi Shu), savior of villages and vanquisher of gore-dripping fiends of every CGI stripe (great stuff here too)—but how many such feats will it take her to get the doltish Xuan Zang to fall for her? It won’t be long before both of them put the question on hold for an encounter with the dreadful Monkey King, a seething and vengeful prisoner in the wilderness who’s second only to Buddha in power; if he were to get loose, Earth would thunder off its axis with the subsequent battle scenes. Into the usual action-comedy wok pot is added the sexually-ambiguous vibe of Chinese ghost cinema and Chow’s innate sense of comedy, which has made him best in the business and this the highest-grossing Chinese-language film ever.—Richard Gould 07/26: Miles Schon Band 8pm. $15.

WHAT’S YOUR SIGN? WEEK OF JULY 25 - JULY 31, 2014

BY LEONA MOON

ARIES (March 21 - April 19) Drop down on one knee and make a trip to Goodwill, Aries! You’re getting engaged on July 24! It’s time to part with some of your bachelor pad essentials and downsize. The lava lamps were great at setting the mood while it lasted, but it’s time to trade your fixtures in for extra sets of silverware. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Whistle while you work, Taurus! It’s time to get down and dirty in your garden. A few projects around your home that you’ve been meaning to get to will take priority on July 30. You’ll find great comfort in adding a few decorative pillows to the living room or planting some succulents in your backyard. It’s your chance to make improvements! GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) The grass is usually greener on the other side, Gemini, but not on July 27! You’ll be drowning in green after you land a few new projects. The fast-flowing cash will be exciting and overwhelming—don’t let it go to your head. Saving at least $100 a week will give you a great cushion in the long run. Don’t let your flighty instincts blow all that cash on a helipad. CANCER (June 21 - July 22) Stock up on poster boards and colored markers, Cancer! It’s time to fundraise for a favorite cause. The Sun has joined Jupiter and is eager to help you feel financial security on July 25. Gather a trusted crew and bring your A-game—this fundraising with Jupiter is no joke—it’s here to make a financial impact over the next six months. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) Confidence is key, but you’ve already got the memo, Leo! The new moon in Leo on July 26 is here to help you successfully launch any passion project—from opening a summer camp for underprivileged children to opening a hostel in St. Barth. With the stars and moon aligned, anything is possible if you give it an extra dash of that charming Leo confidence. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Pack your bags, Virgo! It’s time for some much needed relaxation. Bottomless mimosas in the Hamptons never sounded better. You’ve been working your summer away and earned a few days to sleep in and indulge. Don’t listen to the haters—they’re just jealous they won’t be sipping freshly squeezed orange juice and the finest champagne. LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Clear your calendar, Libra! Come July 30, you’re the main attraction! You might find yourself hobnobbing with some of the county’s most elite. Whatever gala or event you attend, you’re sure to turn heads and impress the crowd with your down-to-earth, charming personality. Leave work behind and focus on your social agenda. It’s hard not to with an abundance of free food and booze. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) Congrats, Scorpio, you’re getting promoted! Your talent takes center stage on July 31 and all eyes are on your creative work. Hit your boss with your best shot and wait for the rewards to flood in. You’ve swam under the radar for too long, watery one. It’s time your boss puts the money where the skill is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Quit fanaticizing about faraway places with an exotic love interest, Sagittarius. Just make it happen! July 26’s celestial lineup guarantees a little travel time. No delays or extensive layovers—all things travel will go your way. And, if you’re lucky, you may just meet a special someone on the flight over to your remote destination. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) You’re getting a raise, Capricorn! You don’t necessarily have to work for it (no one doubts your work ethic), but you’re going to have to ask for it. So brush up on your PowerPoint skills and practice a lengthy oral presentation with some of your closet comrades on July 26. It’s clear a raise is nigh, but you’ve got to nail it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) It’s time to meet your match, Aquarius. Whether it’s business or pleasure, it’s time for an all-star reunion. The new moon on July 26 will align your path with a perfect partner and you may find yourself in talks for an ideal collaboration. This is more than just your average “let’s start a blog and take pictures of our food”-type of venture—be prepared to reap financial success. PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20) Duty calls on July 25, Pisces. So suck it up and enjoy your reclining seat in first class, your bottomless beers and complimentary pillow—you’re going on a business trip! Your boss has recognized the uniqueness that is your creative nature, and that you’re the only one who can do the job right. Enjoy mixing work with play!

Sandy also loves soft toys and high-value chews like bones and pigs ears, so much so that she is not willing to share. Our behavior consultants will discuss management techniques to address Sandy's possession. For this reason Sandy should live in adults only home. She is pretty indifferent to other dogs; her world is all about people and toys! If you looking for a super fun companion who will make you feel loved beyond your wildest Disney dream, meet Sandy.

My boyfriend of two years got an early birthday present from his sister and her husband: a really expensive, secondrow ticket for a major sporting event next year. The trouble is, it falls on my 30th birthday (a Saturday). He knows I usually don’t care about my birthday, and I confess that I also judge people who care about theirs. Still, I can’t help but feel that my 30th is a bit of a milestone, and I wanted to spend my birthday weekend together somewhere with my boyfriend. I understand that he doesn’t want to seem ungrateful for his sister’s gift, and he’s courteously told me about this conflict well in advance. Do I need to just get over myself? Or should I raise my concerns?—Neglected

As a child, I was not one to turn down birthday loot, but around age 8, I developed a sort of jadedness about birthdays that continues to this day. The way I see it, if you are over 12 and not a cancer patient, do we really need to throw you a party and give you prizes for surviving another year? It seems you communicated some similar thinking to your boyfriend. Bizarrely, he believed you. Yet, apparently out of love and consideration (and perhaps the suspicion men have that all women are at least a little nuts), he let you know a year in advance that hockey or auto racing or whatever’s special day coincides with your usually-notso-special day. What more was he supposed to do—well, other than travel back in time and ask your mom, “Hey, can you hold the baby in one more week? There’ll be a scheduling conflict in 30 years.” Wait ... were you expecting him to turn down the ticket? If so, what’s that really about? Maybe a recent public service announcement from your ovaries? “Hi, we’re also turning 30, as in, it won’t be long before we retire, move to the countryside, and take up scrapbooking.” You may also be looking for what evolutionary psychologists call a “costly signal”—some show of commitment requiring such a big outlay of money, effort or forgone opportunity that it’s likely to be sincere. (In the absence of a proposal and a diamond, maybe it seems the least he could do is light that ticket on fire.) If you do want more from the relationship, you may be able to get it, but expecting a man to read your thoughts is like expecting your dog to understand algebra. Tell your boyfriend you’re feeling sensitive about your birthday, your future, or whatever else, and you’ll at least find out where you stand. Assuming you get the reassurance you need, maybe you can do the loving thing and put your partner’s interests up there in importance with your own, perhaps by celebrating your birthday the weekend before the actual day. You might also try to get in the habit of using spoken-word communication—fun as it can be to surprise a man with a game of naked charades, aka “Guess what I’m thinking when I weep inconsolably during sex!”

After reading a magazine article about movie stars with “pixie cuts,” my girlfriend got her hair cut really short, and I absolutely hate it. She’s very pretty, and short hair doesn’t change that, but I love how she looks with long hair. Is it controlling to ask her to grow it back?—Worried

The good thing about bad haircuts is that they are fixable with time. (You can’t tell your girlfriend, “Hey, I’m not a big fan of your personality; can you grow it out a little?”) When you first saw her new do, you probably squeezed out something positive like “Looks great!”—while thinking, “Did your stylist go blind in the middle of cutting your hair or pretty much right when she started?” It’s good to be kind, but because staying happy with somebody takes staying attracted to them, it’s best for your relationship to be kind in a verging-on-honest way. Wait a few weeks and say, “You know, you’d be beautiful even if you shaved your head, but I love your hair long. Would you grow your hair out for me?” (You aren’t asking her to bolt on a new set of boobs; you’re just requesting more of what’s already on her head.) And yes, you do have to tell her what you need, because if you don’t, there’s a good chance you’ll get resentful and act like a jerk about things that aren’t really the thing. It might even lead to a breakup. The bottom line: You’re all for her having movie-star hair—as long as the movie star it’s modeled on isn’t Chuck Norris. Y ©Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.
