The hard way: Do nothing now and you could face much tougher measures later. Like swift legal action. Added fines and charges. Collection agencies. And seizure of your home or business property.

Home Alone

Regarding Daniel Denvir’s recent story about homeless families living in abandoned buildings owned by the city: I was surprised to read that Cheri Honkala and KWRU are still active.

Rumor was that Honkala was hired by PHA and that quieted her down. I think what KWRU is doing is one of the solutions to getting families into affordable housing. Many families can maintain a household if the barrier of down-payment is removed.

Dainette Mintz says the City doesn’t condone this action. Just what is Mayor Nutter’s stance on all the abandoned housing in Philadelphia? I wish a reporter would corner him and ask him to provide a valid reason why so many tax-delinquent, abandoned homes sit there to rot when I feel the city should seize them and resell them for a nominal fee to someone who doesn’t already own property. And that person would have to live in the property for at least 10 years or the City would take it back. Those would be the only requirements. No credit check needed!

Philadelphia Please stop encouraging KWRU. I read this article yesterday and my first thought was: Why has KWRU released the address of this ‘safe house’? What purpose could that serve except to garner more press and attention? As I see from your update, I am correct.

This organization jeopardizes families when they are in need. They are negligent. How is a homeless family supposed to feel safe when their illegal address is in the paper, released by the same people claiming to help them?

The family is lucky they were not homeif they had been the mother could have been arrested and the children sent to DHS. Once these situations occur, KWRU will no longer help those people. I know because I saw them do this, as well as paying thousands of dollars a month for multiple houses for Honkala all over the country but continuing to house ‘the homeless’ in abandoned buildings or with slum landlords. KWRU is interested only in their own fame.

Paper Trails

Regarding Jacob Lambert's recent column about the value of journalism over sports figures: I greatly enjoyed your article. It was very thorough and well-detailed. You made an excellent point regarding knowledge of the city, which transgresses cultures as well as localities. As a journalist, I often wonder where exactly American journalism is heading and whether the signs we’re seeing now are any reason for concern.

I haven’t seen Road to Perdition, but it is certainly difficult to imagine a time when reading the paper was what everyone did, everyday.

I want to applaud your noticing of an issue in the city of Philadelphia and America as a whole that many people don’t care about.

Party Land

Regarding Jon Campisi’s recent article about the third-party voters: I find it interesting that Anthony Perella refers to the Tea Party movement as “a total grassroots effort.” In fact, the Tea Party movement is a creation of the right-wing media to exploit the tide of post-Bush dissatisfaction and protect the interests of big business. It would not exist if it were not advertised on Fox News. Most Tea Party members do not have a well-reasoned political viewpoint; they just know they are mad about something, and so they become the unwitting stooges of the capitalist machine, which is cynically using their anger and dissatisfaction to work against their own best interests. The Tea Party movement is not a populist movement; it is a corporate takeover.

Corrections

In last week’s article titled “Hip-Hop Hopes” we incorrectly spelled the name of Sokhon Touch and stated that he had spent two years in the brig. The mistakes were due to an editing error. Touch had been in the Navy for two years but in the brig for only two months. Also, the class Michael Coard teaches at Temple is called “Hip Hop: a Race, Gender and Class Perspective.” We regret the errors.

May 12-18, 2010

On April 26, the AAP released a controversial stateMrs. Goundo’s Daughter is a documentary created ment advocating the legalization of a light form of by local filmmaking team Barbara Attie and Janet FGM they call a “ritual nick.”

Goldwater. The film chronicles the plight of West The justification the AAP is offering is that a saniPhiladelphia resident Mrs. Goundo, an expatriate of Mali and one of Philly’s 50,000 African immigrants. In tized version in a clinical setting will protect girls who would otherwise be sent back to their respective the film, Goundo seeks asylum on the grounds that if homelands to endure a far more brutal version. The she is deported her 2-year-old daughter Djenebou will statement reads: “These physicians emphasize the be subject to a crude procedure called female genital significance of a ceremonial ritual in the initiation of mutilation (FGM). the girl or adolescent as a community member and In FGM, parts of babies or young girls’ genitals are sliced off. There is zero medical benefit. Severity rang- advocate only pricking or incising the clitoral skin as sufficient to satisfy cultural requirements. This is no es from cutting the tip of the clitoris to carving off everything external and sewing the vaginal opening almost completely closed. It’s done with bottles, knives or razors and without anesthesia. In Mali, about 85 percent of all girls undergo FGM. The motivation is to cut girls’ sexual desire, preserve virginity and make her less likely to cheat on a husband later on.

Mrs. Goundo’s Daughter brings home the fact that FGM doesn’t just affect other people in faraway lands. Djenebou, born here, is an American citizen. She lives in Philly. She’ll go to school with our kids.

Only a toddler when the film was shot, she’s a pudgy tumble of cuteness in a hot-pink butterfly shirt. The thought of anyone taking a knife to this grinning baby is almost too much to bear.

The film jumps between Philly and Mali.

In Mali, women wrapped in brightly patterned dresses and scarves walk with dozens of children. White string is loosely knotted around kids’ necks and waists to ward off evil spirits. But the smiling faces of their elders are the real danger. In a few minutes the kids, all girls, will be held down while a woman slices into their little bodies. Filmmakers are shooed away right before the actual procedure. The camera’s eye pans across the pained fear on the girls’ faces as they wait.

Back in a Philadelphia courthouse, Mrs. Goundo testifies that she would not be able to protect little Djenebou from this fate if they are deported to Mali. She explains that even if a girl’s mother is against FGM, extended family will hijack the girl, do it anyway and blame God’s will.

For years, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund, United Nations Population Fund and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have all issued statements denouncing FGM in all its forms.

In the United States, as with most of the Western world, any form of FGM is illegal and constitutes child abuse.

Mixed-media messages: A film made by local filmmakers shows how the brutality of Now that might change.

more of an alteration than ear piercing.”

In most human-rights circles, endorsing a “minor” version of FGM is akin to recommending U.S. pediatricians bind the feet of Chinese girls—just a little bit—at a parents’ request.

The AAP’s harm-reduction model rests on what they call “legitimate concern” that immigrant families in the U.S. want FGM for their daughters.

A local expert says that’s not the case. He says that in the West African community he knows in West Philly, parents don’t want FGM for their daughters—they fear it. “[Offering a ‘ritual nick’] is not going to help anybody,” says Moussa Traoré. “Matter of fact, all woman who have a child here in the U.S. have this kind of concern.”

Traoré, associate producer on Mrs. Goundo’s Daughter, appears throughout the film as he helps Mrs. Goundo—the wife of his friend—fight for asylum by translating documents and proceedings for her. Traoré arrived in Philadelphia from Mali in 1990, making him one of the first Malian immigrants in the U.S. and a respected elder statesman of Philly’s Malian ex-pat community.

Critics of AAP’s recommendation charge that legalizing a “ritual nick” endorses a violent, oppressive practice and thwarts substantial progress made to raise awareness and ban the practice throughout the world. The AAP concedes that the research of the effects of legalization are unclear. For example, similar legalization in Egypt, where the practice was most common in the entire world, has resulted in extending the tradition.

It’s estimated that 100 to 140 million girls are currently living with the consequences of FGM. Mrs. Goundo is one of them. But with Traoré’s help, Djenebou will not join the bloody ranks. Mrs. Goundo won her case—on grounds that FGM constituted persecution— and earned a green card.

Traoré says that since he helped Goundo win her case, 25 to 30 more local parents have asked him to help them for the same reason.

“We always have women seeking asylum based on this situation,” he says.

For women like Mrs. Goundo, FGM isn’t what they miss about home, it’s the looming threat that keeps them from everything else.

“I’ve been so far away from Africa for so long.

I miss my homeland,” Mrs. Goundo says in the film.

By the end of the film, Mrs. Goundo’s husband fell ill and the family income plummeted.

She made the painful decision to send her sons back to Mali to live with relatives. She also gave birth to another daughter. Like her body, her family is ripped apart. Though she’d like to return to Mali, she needs to stay in the United States with her daughters to prevent them from undergoing FGM. Meanwhile, if the AAP’s policy recommendation is followed, a “minor” version of that torture will be offered down the street, at the local pediatrician’s office—a modern homage to medieval brutality. n

Fan With a Plan

One man’s obsession with Philly sports turns into a weekly radio gig.

By F.H. Rubino feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY May 12-18, 2010 •

When Phil from Mount Airy first appeared on these pages two years ago, he was mocking Donovan McNabb for throwing up at the Super Bowl. He was bashing the Phillies brain trust for not locking down Ryan Howard. Generally speaking, he was agonizing over the city’s quarter-century pro-sports championship drought. He felt like Philadelphia’s most obsessed and most frustrated fan. For therapy, he routinely violated 610 WIP’s one-call-per-week-and-one-per-weekend protocol. “I have to call (more than that),” Phil told PW in February 2008. “Sometimes I just can’t take it anymore and I have to call.”

Alas, the silky-toned, street-savvy book wholesaler, known outside sports-talk radio circles as Phil Allen, has ceased calling WIP—but not because McNabb has been traded, Howard has been paid and the Phillies have been thanked enough for winning it all.

Allen’s WIP cord-cutting stems rather from rival sports-talker and ESPN affiliate The Fanatic (97.5 FM/950 AM) giving him a spot on a local show. His debut on the “Jon Marks Show with Mount Airy Phil” was on April 10, it’s a Saturday morning gig, open-forumstyle, that runs from 8 to 11 a.m., although Allen wishes he could stay on all day.

“I swear to God I do,” he gushes. “The three hours go by like that (snapping his fingers).”

Munching on a salad inside a Germantown Avenue pizza shop, the married father of five and grandfather of three concedes he’s keeping his day job for now. But he’s more than a little excited about his budding radio career, in part because he believes he’s helping to fill a void. “I’ve always felt there should be an AfricanAmerican voice (on local sports-talk radio),” he says.

“WIP hired (former Eagles) Hugh Douglas and Ike Reese, but why is it that black people can only get jobs in this business if they’re ex-players? I think that’s a slap in the face.”

Shifting back to sports on this first Saturday in May, the slight but wiry 48-year-old, who sports a saltand-pepper beard and a royal-blue Mount Airy youth baseball cap (he coaches his 9-year-old son Philip’s team), says that last Saturday’s show was supposed to feature his diatribe on why the Sixers shouldn’t rehire ex-coach Larry Brown.

“We talk about whatever’s hot, and that’s what I wanted to talk about,” he says. “Larry Brown was a great coach but he was a horrible personnel guy. I couldn’t get to it, though.

Everybody wanted to talk Eagles. So we did, and it was cool.”

Allen says he hasn’t seen any ratings yet, but he’s getting good feedback on the street, where strangers have for years “recognized” him the instant he starts talking.

“I can’t order food without somebody saying, ‘Yo, you that dude be calling up the radio all the time, right?’” he says, laughing. “I love these people.

I’m not about calling them Phil Allen morons or dopes or idiots (an

obvious reference to longtime WIP rudeboy Howard Eskin). They’re my people.”

Veteran sports-talk jock Mike Missanelli, who hosts The Fanatic’s afternoon drivetime program opposite Eskin and Reese on WIP, thinks Allen has the makings of a good jock.

“He’s not afraid,” Missanelli says. “I think that’s a real key when it comes to sports-talk radio, that you can’t be afraid. You can’t be crazy but you have to have a strong opinion that’s based in logic and facts for people to accept it. And I think he’s pretty good that way. Sometimes he gets a little carried away, but most of the time he’s pretty plugged in.”

Allen, who recalls taking up street hockey after the

Flyers thrilled the city by winning back-to-back Stanley Cups in the mid-’70s and writhing in Jacksonville while the Eagles were blowing the ’05 Super Bowl, has not-so-secretly coveted a radio job for years. And he seems a natural considering his wit, exuberant nature and wide-ranging sports knowledge. “I think it’ll be a good outlet for him,” says his wife, Valerie, who earned a doctorate in social work from Penn last week. “He has sports-trivia books all over the house because he’s one of those people who has to know everything. And we hear all of it.”

Now, anyone who cares to can hear Allen’s minutia— and his opinions. Boy, does he have the latter. Consider his take on McNabb, whom the Eagles jettisoned to the Washington Redskins on Easter Sunday: “There’s a huge disconnect between his talent and his balls,” Allen says. “He don’t have ’em. He’s a woman. He don’t have the mentality of a killer. He’d rather discuss it than just pull the trigger.”

On a positive note, Allen predicts new quarterback Kevin Kolb will surprise Eagles fans. “I think he’s gonna be a revelation, I think people are gonna be shocked by this dude. I think he’s gonna light it up.” Although a Super Bowl win has always topped Allen’s wish list, the Phillies ’08 World Series triumph delighted him.

Nonetheless, he’s miffed that they traded stud lefty Cliff Lee last winter on the same day they acquired Roy Halladay, ostensibly the best pitcher in baseball.

“We would’ve been the odds-on favorite to win the World Series if we’d kept Lee,” he says. “How could you possibly beat us four times when Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee are making four starts? The bottom line with the Phillies is still their bottom line.”

Complaints notwithstanding, Allen’s bottom line is that rooting for the home team is fun. “Having fun is what it’s all about,” he says.

“Everybody has an opinion, and I have lots of them. But I’m not about lecturing anybody. The sports fans of this city are my squad. They’re my squad, man.” n

Burning Questions

Know what’s on the ballot beforehand.

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com During primary elections on Tuesday, we will have the opportunity to answer four ballot questions that deal with certain city departments and functions.

Ballot question No. 1 would change the City Charter to “confirm” Council’s power to require contractors doing business with the city to file economic-opportunity plans. The measure is part of ongoing city efforts to increase the amount of commerce conducted with companies owned by minorities, women and the disabled.

The economic-opportunity plans would inform the city on the percentage of employees falling into various minority categories, as well as track how many are residents of Philadelphia.

The city cited a 2004 disparity study by D.J. Miller & Associates showing that between 1998 and 2003, 97 percent of city contract dollars went to businesses owned by white men. OK, that’s pretty damning, but we are making progress.

“It is tremendous progress but that number has been flat for the last few years,” says Councilman-At-Large W. Wilson Goode Jr. “The Street administration had over 20 percent going to disadvantaged businesses, so we’ve actually slipped a bit.”

All sweet and dandy, but why revise the Charter?

As it turns out, Council passed a bill in 2003 to require contractors to document minority participation, but the city’s Law Department deemed it unenforceable. The Charter change would fix that.

Our vote: No. We’re all for supporting minorityowned businesses but the Charter change isn’t necessary. The various departments in City Hall are all working to increase opportunities for minorityowned businesses and already have wide discretion to decide who gets city contracts. There’s no need to rewrite the rule book.

Question No. 2 would make the commissioner of Licenses and Inspections an alternate L&I board member. This means that L&I becomes a five-member board instead of six; only three members need to be present to hold a hearing; and the commissioner could replace any absent member to form the obligatory ménage a trois.

We’ll punt the explanation to the Committee of Seventy: “The proposed Charter change would better ensure that meetings are not postponed for lack of a quorum, which has happened on a relatively regular basis with the current six-member Zoning Board. It would also facilitate an easier and more efficient way for the Board to conduct its business.”

Our vote: Yes. Who are we to argue with the Committee of Seventy, a nonprofit, nonpartisan goodgovernment watchdog?

News & Opinion Burning Questions, from page 8 Question No. 3 calls for the dismantling of the Board of Revision of Taxes (BRT) and replacing it with two separate boards: one to assess properties, one to hear appeals.

The BRT is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with Philadelphia.

Incompetence, waste, patronage and, worst of all, abdication of any responsibility once the facts came to light.

We’ve been following the saga on our website, but if for some odd reason you haven’t been reading, we’ll give a brief

municipal buildings; $18 million for parks, recreation and museums; and $2 million for community and economic development.

It seems kind of strange to talk about borrowing more money while staring into the abyss of a $120 million to $150 million budget deficit.

However, infrastructure projects are like our own mini-stimulus plans, creating and supporting jobs that will accelerate the city’s recovery. What’s more, these projects ward off serious threats to public safety, like a roof or bridge collapse. By preventing disasters before they happen, we could actually be saving a significant amount of money.

Anyway, once massive inflation kicks in from the nearly $13 trillion federal debt, this $65 million will look like a rank bargain. Think it’s expensive to repair a bridge today? Just wait.

Our vote: Yes. We really don’t want collapsing buildings to transform the figurative idea of a crumbling city into a literal representation. n

rundown as long as you promise to make PhillyNow your homepage from now on: Last May, the Inquirer exposed the BRT as a steaming cesspool of cronyism and inaccuracy. Under-assessments are costing the city hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, while other properties are over-assessed seemingly at random, burdening owners with untenable tax burdens.

In October, the Nutter administration signed a memorandum of understanding with the BRT taking over day-today operations, with a two-year plan to sort out property values.

This April, however, the BRT let the memorandum lapse. In retaliation, Council and the mayor teamed up to slash board members’ salaries for the part-time jobs from $70,000 a year to $150 a day, with the chair still receiving $50,000. If the ballot question is accepted, the whole board will be replaced come October.

rimary elections for governor, senator, state Legislature, and party committeepeople take place on May 18. And as usual, who you elect matters. After the acrimonious health-care debate, Republicans smell blood in the water, and they are hoping for a low Philadelphia turnout in November. In Pennsylvania, politics are particularly hard to keep a handle on. We have the largest full-time Legislature (253) in the country with the biggest staff (almost 3,000), and we have 28 races taking place in Philadelphia alone. PW takes a look at some of the hotly contested seats including the contentious Senate race between Arlen Specter and Joe Sestak, the governor’s race and a few others closer to your hood.

It’s up to you which one of DEM will prevail.

nificant step of the Obama agenda (more than 95 percent of the time). That includes health care, the jobs bill and Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation after voting ‘No’ and supporting holds on many key Obama post nominees as a Republican (including when Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was up for solicitor general).

Establishment Democrats, including President Obama and Majority Leader Reid, were enthusiastic about Specter’s decision. MSNBC reported the DSCC wouldn’t run a primary candidate against Specter. And when MontCo-DelCo Rep. Joe Sestak announced his candidacy for the Democratic primary on Aug. 4, most doubted it would be of any significance.

Then 2010 began.

It’s not a great year to be a Democrat, but you wouldn’t know it by talking to Sestak. His campaign message has remained consistent, similar to his party affiliation, and he wants you to know he’s always stuck to the left. In commercials, he calls himself “Joe Sestak, the Democrat.” And with Specter having moved so far to the left, the race became not about issues (the candidates have nearly identical voting records over the past year) but party affiliation and consistency.

Sestak traveled the state and made the cable-news rounds, gaining the respect of 2006 Connecticut Democratic candidate Ned Lamont but few others within politics. Polls consistently showed Sestak down by double digits in the primary race, as well as in the possible Senate

the battle specter thought would be easy

When Arlen Specter changed parties on April 28, 2009, after 44 years of Republicanism, he claimed he was doing so because of his being “increasingly at odds with the Republican philosophy and more in line with the philosophy of the Democratic Party.” Oh, yeah, and he also admitted: “My change in party will enable me to be re-elected.”

By the time you pick up next week’s PW, we’ll all know if his transformation was worth the trouble. Because it’s coming down to the wire.

Constitutional Lawyer Glenn Greenwald put Specter’s party switch in its most blunt context when he called Pennsylvania’s senior senator “one of the worst, most soul-less, most belief-free individuals in politics.” Greenwald backed up his claim by noting where Specter has stood over the years on the Bush administration, voting for “the war on Iraq, the Military Commissions Act, Patriot Act renewal, confirmation of virtually every controversial Bush appointee, retroactive telecom immunity, warrantless eavesdropping expansions, and Bush tax cuts (several times).”

He noted of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, “[Specter] went to the floor of the Senate and said what the bill ‘seeks to do is set back basic rights by some 900 years’ and is ‘patently unconstitutional on its face.’ He then proceeded to vote YES on the bill’s passage.”

Since that time, he’s predictably voted with Democrats on almost every sig-

way of the ward: leaders fight for street cred in the 51st Not everyone sees the ward leader position in the same way. “We’ve got a lot of community workers that want to be ward leaders,” Miller says in a phone interview with PW. “You don’t have to be a ward leader to work in the community. My job is to get the vote out and that’s exactly what I do. OK?” she adds before hanging up.

In theory at least, all ward leaders have a say in party endorsements, but Benjamin doesn’t seem too interested in trying to push candidates. “We really want to educate people, and get people involved so they can begin to appreciate leadership again, because right now people have a really negative view of politics,” he says.

This was never clearer for him than when Nutter slated the nearby Kingsessing Library for closure in late 2008. Local politicians, including Miller, told him trying to change the mayor’s decision was a waste of time.

“We went out in the street and we started contacting block captains, we started contacting neighbors,” he remembers.

“We have proof of what people will do when they know they can play a significant role, so we’re going to mobilize,” he adds. (M.V.)

tives who are running unopposed in this year’s primaries: John Sabatina, Michael McGeehan, Jewell Williams and Rosita Youngblood.

“We think that it’s not as Democratic as it should be,” says Gilman.

Aside from the potential for cronyism, the wards are a party structure that could be put to use for participation at the grassroots level, which is why Benjamin has people interested.

“We’re getting down to the nitty gritty of a crisis that is ongoing,” says Jerry Jenkins, a committeeperson in the second division. He’s voting for Benjamin, and wants to make the ward a conduit for information on city programs for things like weatherization, housing or health assistance—things he says that don’t make it to the neighborhood level.

Ricky Sharp, a DJ and former cook, is running for committeeperson in the 16th division, Miller’s home turf, and he says he wants to make a difference. “I’ve seen the community decline and it’s not like it used to be,” he says.

For Benjamin, regular community meetings are key. “[They] can be useful at times other than when someone just got shot, or when people are fed up with the drug house on the block.”

May 12-18, 2010

Philadelphia is divided into 66 wards that are each broken up into a few dozen divisions spanning a handful of blocks.

Each division elects two committee people for each party in the primaries, and they elect their ward leader.

As low-level party operatives, ward leaders represent their neighborhood in the party’s City Committee. Along with committee people, they are responsible for keeping voting rolls updated, registering voters to their party and nominating election officers and clerks for local polling places.

Ward leaders also receive money from their party to spend on get-out-the-vote activities on and before election days.

But that’s not the only way money comes in. “They also get money by shaking down candidates and asking them if they will contribute to the ward, to help get out support for the candidate, and they solicit that money from every candidate, not just the one they’re going to support,” says Gloria Gilman, chair of Philadelphia Neighborhood Networks.

It gets more complicated. Mayor Nutter and Sen. Bob Brady (who is also the head of the city Democrats) are ward leaders. The list also includes four incumbent Democratic state representa-

“We understand that we’re up against the Democratic Party in a sense, even though we’re all Democrats,” says Gregory Benjamin in the living room of his Kingsessing home, before a meeting with members of the “Prepared to Lead” slate of candidates for Democratic committeeperson.

This community activist, mentalhealth worker, and sometime minister wants to be the new leader of the 51st Ward, and he plans to use the office as a platform to organize his Southwest Philadelphia neighborhood, block by block.

He’s up against ward leader Vivian Miller, who retired in March as head of the Clerk of Quarter Sessions office following intense criticism from auditors and judges for mismanagement at the agency responsible for record keeping and bail collection in the city’s criminal courts. A few weeks ago, Mayor Nutter moved to close the office, which has a $1 billion balance in unpaid bail fees.

Benjamin is relying on his experience organizing block captains with the Kingsessing 5th Division Community of Neighbors, a group he founded in 2005.

He’s expanding his reach to the entire ward, which is bounded by Baltimore and Woodland avenues, from 49th Street to 58th.

“So far, so good,” says Tim Kearney, referring to how his campaign for state representative in the Northeast’s 172nd District is going. “One of the differences between me and my opponents is that I’m a fourth-time candidate.”

Kearney, a progressive Democrat, ran against Republican John Perzel before it was a popular thing to do: in 2004, 2006 and 2008. Given former majority leader Perzel’s power, most Democrats usually didn’t bother, so Kearney won the nomination in 2004 and 2006 unopposed. Perzel is now facing indictments on 82 counts alleging that he used more than $10 million in public funds on GOP campaigns.

There’s blood in the water in this race.

Kevin Boyle, a well-connected former aide to Councilman William Greenlee and younger brother of Rep. Brendan Boyle, is running. So is Daniel Collins, a lifelong Mayfair resident and elementary school teacher.

Kearney, a former truck driver, City Council aide and Action Alliance activist, opened his Mayfair office in March.

Outside, an American flag flies above a campaign poster, a good fit in a neighborhood lousy with the red, white and blue.

Like much of the Northeast, it’s an urbansuburban hybrid, rowhouse streets bisected by big, multi-lane avenues. Lawn furniture and grills are ubiquitous on front patios; most doors sport a seasonal wreath.

Kearney is a progressive running in a bastion of white conservatism, where an endorsement from the Liberty City Gay and Lesbian Democratic Club (he was the only candidate to return a questionnaire) might not carry much weight. But Kearney is not easily dissuaded.

Inside Kearney’s office, a Gandhi quote is written on a whiteboard: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

“Then they fight you” is circled, with a note reading “We are at this stage.”

And they fight dirty.

In 2000, Democratic challenger Mark Chilutti caught Perzel unawares, losing by just 92 votes. In response to his near-loss, the 172nd emerged from redistricting as one of the city’s most gerrymandered, a choppy crescent picking off GOP blocks one-by-one. In Kearney’s first race four years later, flyers pictured him next to Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin. The Communist Party of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware's website made an endorsement, and Perzel spuriously alleged a friendship. In 2008, Kearney lost to former FOP Lodge 5 President Rich Costello 2008 (56-44 percent), who went on to lose to Perzel. Kearney says ward leaders endorsed Costello at a meeting he wasn’t invited to.

“There’s no democracy in the Democratic Party,” he says, noting that he didn’t

even have establishment support in 2004 and 2006, when he was the official candidate. “Both Boyles have told me to my face that I’m too liberal for this district.”

Kevin Boyle is a proud “moderate Democrat,” and says that Kearney “is way too left-wing for the 172nd District, which is the most conservative house district in the city of Philadelphia. He’s been quoted as calling for a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal, has been endorsed by the Communist Party, and he’s protested the U.S. Army at Franklin Mills Mall. All of those issues make him unacceptable to people of 172nd.”

Collins thinks so, too, and calls both his opponents interlopers. “Both of my opponents are opportunists in a way,” he says. “They moved in this area for their own agenda: whether their dislike of the current representative [that would be Kearney], or they saw a career move [Boyle]. I grew up in this district.”

Yet Kearney is optimistic, pointing to his support for working people’s issues, his visibility and his Irish surname in a very Irish part of town. And he has a point. Costello got 34 percent of the vote against Perzel—just four higher than Kearney won in 2006. “I’m extremely electable,” he says. “I think I’ve been around in the District long enough that the voters know me, and know that I’m a Democrat.”

Like Kearney, Boyle moved into the district to run. But like Costello, the establishment has got Boyle’s back: He secured unanimous ward leader support and an FOP endorsement.

Kearney spends most days knocking on doors and making introductions.

Timothy Mitchell, 61, identified himself as a moderate. But soon the two were in sync, talking about big business screwing the working man. “A lot of the whites here hate the handouts to the blacks in the ghettos,” Mitchell says. “But they need a chance like everyone else.”

After a lifetime working at the shipyards, Mitchell was laid off and found an airline job where he started out at minimum wage.

“On minimum wage, you can’t even afford a cup of coffee.”

Kearney even charmed Marvin Trotter, a Tea Partier. “Truck driver,” he repeated.

“You’re a good man. My father was a truck driver.”

Perhaps Mayfair is not the monolith it seems. Or perhaps it is. Either way, Kearney says that if he loses, this will be his last race.

Most everyone was polite, promising to look at the flier: For most people, politics is one small corner of very personal lives, and personality helps.

tion that he’s an outsider.

“I’ve never in my life lived more than a mile or two from this district,” says Street, adding that he’s running against Brown because she has not been an effective legislator.

“She has throughout her term said that she’s limited because she didn’t understand the process as a freshman member.

I believe you should know how to get the job done.”

The 190th is a battleground for rival West Philly political giants state Sen. Anthony Williams and Councilwoman Blackwell, who both control centers of power in the district. In some ways, this is a proxy war: Blackwell behind Street, Williams behind Brown. Watson, the councilwoman’s stepdaughter, is invisible on the campaign trail and doesn’t have her stepmom’s support.

On a Saturday in April, Brown and a five-car entourage rolled out from her campaign office on 56th and Vine streets to talk to voters across the largely poor and almost entirely African-American district, blasting “West Philly, Put Your Hands Up, North Philly, Put Your Hands Up” and remixes of “Jungle Boogie”: “Get Down With Brown.”

Brown says hello to everyone she meets walking down 29th Street near York. “Hi, I’m Vanessa Brown. The first woman to represent this district.”

She meets an older woman who complains that police busted into her apartment, guns drawn, looking for a nephew.

Brown takes her name and promises to look into it, handing her an explanation of the curfew law. “They got a curfew law?” she asks. “Oh, thank you, Jesus.”

Another woman down the street agrees: “That’s good. They need to get off the damn corner!”

Two doors down, Carolyne BooneCarmichael sits vigil on her porch. “We need help right here,” she says. “At 29 and Huntingdon, they’re shooting every day.”

Her son was killed 10 years ago. Another neighbor’s nephew was shot a few weeks back.

“It’s crazy around here,” says BooneCarmichael. “People are getting killed around here and it ain’t even hot yet.”

Brown’s and Street’s politics are pretty standard Philadelphia liberal, except that Brown, like Williams, supports privateschool vouchers. Street says that he doesn’t think the two “have different values,” but that he will ”affirmatively write legislation, not just vote on legislation written by others.”

But for this district, like many others, constituent services make the difference: Brown secured $2 million for Mill Creek’s Spectrum Health Center and Smith Playground in Fairmount Park. She says that many in her district are focused on survival. “My district is trying to make it from one day to the next,” she says. (D.D.)

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

In a city where three at-large councilmen are sons of former mayors, politics are often a family affair. That’s why the family of state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown does not take the race for the 190th District lightly: Sharif Street (son of former Mayor John) and Audrey Blackwell Watson (stepdaughter of Councilwoman Jannie and late U.S. Rep. Lucien) want to unseat the one-term incumbent.

“I have to win by a landslide so I can put this to rest,” says Brown, who believes members of the political establishment saw her as an easy target. “We have their [the community’s] support. This is a message to the Philly politicians.”

There’s no political legacy for Brown, who came to politics after she and her son landed in a domestic-violence shelter.

She later joined the Philadelphia Unemployment Project to lobby for benefits and traveled the country speaking out and protesting, and then took a job at the People’s Emergency Center. In 2004, Brown made her first run as a Republican to avoid the primary between incumbent Michael Horsey and Tommy Blackwell (stepbrother of Audrey).

“I jumped in and I didn’t know what the heck I was doing,” she recalls, saying the other candidates barely noticed.

Blackwell ousted Horsey, and Brown went largely unnoticed. While she sat out of the 2006 race, in 2008, “God sent me an angel,” she says. Blackwell failed to get his petitions in order and Brown, running in the Democratic primary, knocked him off the ballot and won. “This year I have party support. I hope,” says Brown, acknowledging that she does not command universal ward-leader support.

Gregory Spearman, leader of the 60th Ward, is supporting Street, and accuses Brown of bypassing the party establishment. “She tried to circumvent the ward leaders, by going to our committee people,” he says. “When she gave out turkeys during Thanksgiving, she went to committee people. What Sharif Street did was give me the stack of gift cards to ShopRite, which I gave to the committee people.”

But Mayor Michael Nutter, who leads the 52nd Ward, supports Brown, who has received the endorsement of the Democratic City Committee, calling her “a breath of fresh air.”

That gives Street and Brown the support of two ward leaders apiece. The other four have yet to declare their support.

Ward leaders for each major party are elected by committee people and their support can play a major role in turning out the vote for a favored candidate.

Brown began preparing for this race the day Street bought a house in the 190th.

“Everyone knows that when Sharif moves, he’s getting ready to run for something.”

In 2002, Street failed to beat incumbent Frank Oliver in the 195th and in 2007 lost a bid for an at-large seat on Council. But Street bristles at the accusa-

ASK THE INTERVENTIONIST Brought to you by Treatment Solutions Network

Q:

I am a divorced parent and share custody of my children with my ex-wife. I know for a fact that she is abusing drugs and alcohol when they are with her. The kids are too young to say anything but I know it is happening... what do I do?

A:

You are in a precarious situation and the pawns in this scenario are your children. Before you take any action, look first at your own motives. Are you going to get back at your ex by using the children? It’s a very harsh question, but be sure of yourself. If you believe your ex is using, what is your evidence? If a third party were to become involved, would there be enough evidence to convince that person that your ex is using? Assuming you still have some level of feeling for your ex, you may want to do an intervention and try to convince her to go into treatment.

When you drop the children off, or pick them up, in those moments when you see your ex, are there any physical signs of drug use? Is her speech slurred? Have there been accidents around her home? Has she or your children been injured? Before you go off and accuse your ex-spouse of drug use, have your kids said anything to you? Don’t put words in their mouth, but listen to them. Are they giving you any clues that something might be wrong? Have they said anything about mom acting funny or forgetting to pick them up at school?

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

Before you run to child social services, turn to a drug addiction professional for counsel. There is no “one size fits all” answer for this. Take what you have and allow a professional to help you sort it all out. If you are convinced that your ex is using and that action is necessary, plan that action and think it through before you begin the process to ensure that your children are shielded as much as possible. Seek professional help. You can call Treatment Solutions Network to get started along the best possible path.

Gather your facts and form a plan that will accomplish a positive end for your ex, for you and most of all for your children. This is what Treatment Solutions Network is here for so work with professionals and everyone’s best interest will be protected.

While some shows—like Meghann Williams’ “Pretty”—are held in private residences and require an RSVP (email the SoLow Festival for details), most take place in studio space at the Wolf Building on 12th Street. First up is Thomas Choinacky’s free-roaming environmental piece “The Hour,” in which the audience is invited to explore every angle of a live performance featuring music, movement and traditional art supplies.

Soft Power brings both of those sonic worlds together, and brings a whole batch of new songs this evening. The equally clamorous and catchy Parts & Labor, meanwhile, might assault you with glitchy digital noise and then suddenly slide into dance-punk or something resembling a psychedelic Hüsker Dü.

The band’s second life has been longer than the first now, with original members Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle teaming up for sporadic, well-received reunion shows since 1994 (when they opened on Nirvana’s last tour).

It’s a good time to be a park. When New York’s High Line opened less than a year ago—reviving long-dormant rail tracks and transforming them into a bustling public space and unlikely tourist attraction—cities around the world took notice. The same goes for Chicago’s Millennium Park, which opened in 2004, and has drawn unprecedented numbers of visitors to the city. Just because we don’t have any of those celebrity parks, though, doesn’t mean our parks aren’t some of the best in America.

Naturally, those in favor of DADT’s repeal will be in attendance. The real question: Will those opposed be openminded enough to drop by and hear a different perspective? Michael alan GoldberG

Book of Gazes

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY May 12-18, 2010

What makes an opera an opera? Is it the fat lady singing? The viking hats? How much can you subtract before it starts being something else? The Rhymes with Opera company tosses all of it and crams what remains—the bigness of opera—into unexpected spaces around the country. Their current work, “Book of Gazes” settles into <fidget> warehouse space. Librettist Jenny Olivia Johnson tells a story of memory and broken childhood through the music of Soul Cannon, a Baltimore-based hip-hop quartet with some big honkin’ synths. Johnson conceived it as a narrative performance, but suggests that audience members will both bring and walk away with something wholly their own. A guitar riff, whether pop or grunge, means something different to everybody. For a story about memory and coping with history, perception is the thing. Big emotion too. Viking hats aside, that’s what opera’s all about. P.F.m.

The Figgs

If you missed the Figgs’ opening/backing slot

with Graham Parker a couple of weeks ago, you’re in luck. Long one of power pop’s best kept secrets, the Figgs have been making twitchy, deliriously hooky music since the late 1980s. Their shot at major label stardom came and went more than a decade ago, but as the band once observed, “bitchin’ ’bout the kitchen never cleaned up the mess.” Instead, they’ve soldiered on, touring with Parker and ex-Replacement Tommy Stinson and recording five more addictively tuneful studio albums (plus a couple of live ones). This show, likely an orgy of amp jumps and rock-star poses, celebrates the May 11 release of The Man Who Fights Himself. J.K. 8pm. $8.

Local H At the Khyber in late 2008, veteran grungy power-rock duo Local H played exclusively new material plus a ferocious noise-jam. This prompted one irate fan to get in frontman Scott Lucas’ face afterward, screaming, “You didn’t play SHIT, motherfucker!” To which Lucas sneered, “Fuuuuuck YOU!” I was pretty certain fists and/or guns would follow, but dude just skulked away. He might wanna come back for tonight’s “6 Angry Records” show and be the one to pick from Local H’s hat— whichever of their six albums he pulls out is the one the band will play in its entirety. So if he draws 12 Angry Months instead of As Good As Dead, he only has himself to blame this time. m.A.G. 8pm. $12. With Kinch + Honah Lee. Khyber, 56 S. Second St. 215.238.5888. thekhyber.com

Recording a suite of new music for fully automated acoustic instruments was the first step. Now Metheny is schlepping his fragile gear all over Europe, the U.S. and Asia for an epic oneman show that prompts us to hear his entire oeuvre in a new way. The technology goes way back (orchestrions were something akin to early jukeboxes), but Metheny bends it to his futuristic purposes, making music that’s dizzyingly advanced, but warm and full of heart, the opposite of what you’d expect from machinegenerated sound.

Feeding Frenzy

A taco-eating contest has high stakes for one hungry participant.

By Gerry Christopher Johnson feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com Here’s a confession: My stainless-steel pots are permanently stained, mostly from failed attempts to cook rice. While my appetite knows no bounds, my proficiency at cooking stops—then bursts into flames and causes the whole building to evacuate—at Stovetop stuffing. Luckily, my roommate is a masterful cook and, for a small fee, supplies me with meals.

But when he left town for a week, I found myself deliriously checking the refrigerator, hoping a pot roast would magically appear. On the verge of reverting to my undergraduate days of Chef Boyardee, I realized it was Cinco de Mayo.

This means not only free chips and salsa, but also rituals of cultural import—like North Bowl’s taco-eating contest. I could binge for an hour and be full for a week— like an anaconda, or Kate Moss.

I forced my friend to take me to North Bowl promptly at 7 p.m., paranoid the sign-up sheet would be full. Fortunately, there were two sheets—one for beef-eaters and one for vegetarians—and both were empty. I signed the carnivorous list and spat on the other.

North Bowl’s decor was supplemented with Mexican flag-themed streamers, piñatas and balloons. While the decorations were loud, the crowd was sparse, and there were no free chips and salsa in sight.

We decided to barhop until 9, when North Bowl’s festivities would begin.

On the way out, I overheard somebody point out the mariachi band crammed in a parked van in the lot. As I passed by, I threw a seductive stare their way in case any of them were cute.

Down the street, a crowd spilled out of Cantina Dos Segundos. There was a 30-minute wait, so we stood at the bar and tried the Cinco de Mayo special: a shot of tequila and a can of Cervez Tecate, aka Mexican pee, for $5.

When we were seated, the chips and salsa proved a godsend. I ate until I finally needed to wash it down with a drink. My friend pressured me into tequila shots.

“Jose Cuervo,” he ordered for me. The tattooed waittress shot us a look of indignation. “You’re at a tequila bar. I won’t let you order Jose Cuervo.” She came back with a tequila I had never heard of, but it went down smoother than the pee.

By 9, we were on our way back to North Bowl, a few pounds heavier. The venue was full, and, unfortunately, so was I. I feared my chances of winning the contest were

shot like an innocent bystander in Tijuana.

But I never back down on a challenge, especially one that includes sour cream.

“I should make myself throw up so I have more room for tacos,” I said to my friend.

“Don’t you be wastin’ that good tequila I paid money for,” he said with a glare.

As the round started, I nervously took my seat among the other gluttons. After looking into my heart—and my extensive history of binge eating until I throw up in my mouth—I found my moxie. The commentator came by for final words, I menacingly growled into the mic, and we’re off!

I bit into my first beef taco and devoured it within seconds. I could do this all day, I thought, though I only had three minutes.

After a minute and a half, my stomach was filling up and my jaws slowing down.

While I had only eaten six, others were still going strong. Not only could I not win the contest, but with all this unfinished food, I feared I’d be hungry later in the week.

Instinctively, I took a napkin and started loading tacos into my man-bag.

“Hey, he’s cheating!” somebody shouted from the crowd. “No I ain’t!” I screamed with my mouth full of beef as I stuffed more tacos into my Ben Sherman.

“Leave the tacos on the table, cheater!” the commentator commanded. I relented and put the napkin of tacos where everybody could see it. The competition was over.

“Dude, you really sucked,” the commentator said as he passed by. I fled the table in shame—but not without taking my bundle.

After a few more drinks, I decided I had nothing to be ashamed of—I was not trying to cheat, only to survive. And while I didn’t win the grand prize—a bottle of tequila—five stolen tacos was still a win. I towed my precious cargo along with me as we bowled, played air hockey and danced the night away, beef spewing from my tortillas at every turn.

I spotted the mariachi band in the corner. I winked and showed them my trappings. They turned away.

As we drove off, we decided to end our night by going to a club. “Do you think they’ll let me bring my tacos in?” I asked.

My friend looked at me in horror. “You still have those tacos?” he asked. “I thought you threw them away!”

With that, he grabbed my greasy bundle and tossed it—and my joy—out the window.

The next night my stainless-steel pot collected another stain. n

Story Bored

Tim Eads makes you work for his art.

An Evening Without Woody Allen is dull compared to the famed scribe’s original works.

By Roberta Fallon rfallon@philadelphiaweekly.com

By J. Cooper Robb

jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com

1812 Productions concludes its season with the ambitious but ultimately disappointing new work An Evening Without Woody Allen.

Compiled and directed by 1812’s artistic director Jennifer Childs, the show adapts several of Woody Allen’s works to the stage.

In the three short stories and two essays that comprise Without, Allen presents typically fastidious, often elegant characters who find themselves out of place in a chaotic and demanding world.

Performed on a mostly bare stage by a trio of actors (Dan Hodge, Charlotte Ford and Thomas E. Shotkin), the first tale, “The Whore of Mensa,” imagines a prostitution ring of female valedictorians available to satisfy men’s intellectual desires.

Kugelmass Episode,” which focuses on an unhappily married fellow named Kugelmass. In search of female companionship, he secures the services of an elderly magician (Hodge) who transports him into the pages of the novel “Madame Bovary,” where he romances the elegant title character (Ford). It’s an inspired premise (a common trait in Allen’s writing), but while “Kugelmass” features several clever plot twists, the staging is so chaotic that we eventually lose interest.

Childs’ staging is more successful on “The Nib for Hire,” which features Hodge as an erudite novelist named Flanders Mealworm. Devoted to his craft but low on funds, Mealworm discovers an opportunity to make some quick cash when he

Some art begs to be touched.

Other pieces want to be sat on, like Vito Acconci’s publicart benches at the airport and Scott Burton’s stone seating in Battery Park City. Now, along comes Tim Eads’ viewer-powered butter churn and toast maker—public art with an incentive. You, the viewer, sit on the piece and pedal, and as a reward for your hard work you eat warm toast with fresh butter.

Part psych experiment and part Rube Goldberg machine, Eads’ “A Legitimate Waste of Time” is both humble and dictatorial. It offers homemade bliss, but you won’t get it without doing the work. At the opening, people happily took turns on the trickedout exercise bike as cream bounced up and down in the attached glass jar, and within a half hour there was butter—unsalted—and toast Toaster lovin': Tim Eads’ butter-churning art rewards viewers with a snack. to put it on.

“Lessness,” a word that comes from SamI usually object to sitting on uel Beckett’s nonsense story of the same my art, but Eads’ work transcends mere name, applies to art bereft of traditional public art and offers more: ideas about pioneers, the beauty of simple things, the joy of optimism yet full of make-do and can-do tinkering and how much fun art can be. spirit.

is approached by smarmy film producer E. Coli Biggs (Shotkin). Biggs foresees big money in the novelization business and hires the writer to adapt a book from a film starring the Three Stooges. Mealworm’s determined attempt to transform the broad physical comedy of Larry, Moe and Curly into an existential novel about the meaning of life provides the evening’s biggest laugh. Unfortunately, the abrupt conclusion (which Childs attempts to enliven with a Stooges clip) is thoroughly disappointing.

Allen’s most ardent fans will likely find 1812’s production a welcome tribute to one of America’s most enduring comic talents.

Less passionate admirers will be left with the sense that Allen’s stories are far better suited to the page than the stage. n

Ford (who plays a grad-student hooker) and Hodge (who does his best Philip Marlowe impersonation as a hardened private dick investigating the cerebral hookers) are charming, but “Mensa” never lives up to its promise and like much of Without, it is mildly amusing at best.

The show’s two essays, “A Look at Organized Crime” and “A Brief But Helpful Guide to Civil Disobedience,” are even less successful. “Crime” is a woefully thin piece of writing that puts a Jewish spin on life in the mob, while the slightly more appealing “Disobedience” is a decorous look at the history of civil unrest.

Featuring Ford as a Miss Mannersesque educator explaining different modes of civil protest (for example, sit-ins and demonstrations), “Disobedience” is more amusing than the uninspired “Crime,” but the humor is short-lived and Childs’ dramatization quickly runs out of steam.

The most imaginative of the tales (and the most challenging to stage) is “The

Music From Tusk Till Dawn The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society will perform the 75-minute double album Tusk in its entirety.

By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

After years and years of drunken talks and back-andforth emails, Patrick Berkery (drummer for Danielson, Pernice Brothers, Bigger Lovers, Mazarin, etc.) and a few of his musical soul mates (Charlie Hall, Tony Goddess, Samantha Goddess, Birdie Busch and Dave Hartley) finally decided to live the dream they’d had for a while: celebrating the mad genius of Lindsey Buckingham by performing Fleetwood Mac’s wildly artistic left turn Tusk in its entirety.

That dream becomes a reality Monday when the Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society takes the stage at Johnny Brenda’s. We talked to Berkery about Tusk, its influence, and the absence of irony in LBAS.

of the blue and said ‘Let’s do this finally.’ There are a ton of musicians who you find out are really into Mac and Lindsey and Tusk, more than the success of the record initially

cial detriment of his band in the short term, but in the long term I think it’s really shown them to be artists, whereas before they were just a successful pop band.”

Lindsey had to sell the idea of Tusk to the band too, right? Mick, especially, gave him some opposition.

“He got opposition from the whole group. I’ve had the opportunity to interview Lindsey and Mick. I talked to Mick for a story I wrote for Modern Drummer, and we talked about Tusk. He remembers it all pretty vividly. He says he and Lindsey were at Lindsey’s house on the lawn smoking a joint and Lindsey is telling Mick what he wanted to do, and Mick was half-agreeing with him and halfyessing him, like, ‘Yeah, that sounds great, but you can’t play drums on a tissue box on every song.’ Lindsey, I think by his own admission, is a bit of a spoiled brat musically. Maybe he wanted to run the show since he was still the new guy in the band, and I think it took some convincing and wheel greasing, for sure. They were all kind of opposed to it, but I think they’ve all gone on record as saying it’s their favorite of all the records they’ve made together.”

What would you say to would-be cynics who think you guys are doing this with a touch of irony or tongue-in-cheek?

“No irony. I’d tell them to open their minds. There is nothing ironic about Fleetwood Mac or our love for Fleetwood Mac. If that kind of stuff isn’t your bag, and you sort of look at it that way, then I would say that’s on you or whoever would think that. I, without hesitation, would put Fleetwood Mac up there with the Beatles and the Stones or Neil Young and all these people I worship. Not all of their records, but their golden period of the ’70s and ’80s I would put up there with Beggar’s Banquet and Exile and Rubber Soul through the white album, and those are some strong albums.”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY May 12-18, 2010 • 26

How did you discover you and your friends shared this obsession with Lindsey Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac and Tusk?

“Mostly just by talking about influences and favorite albums, the regular type of conversations musicians have with one another. But, with Tony (Goddess), I read an old interview he did when he Tusk is a 20-song double album.

High Society: (clockwise, left to right) Lindsey Buckingham, Lindsey Buckingham, Lindsey Buckingham, Lindsey was playing in Papas FriBuckingham, Lindsey Buckingham, Lindsey Buckingham.

How long is it taking you to play tas. I loved their record through all of it?

Buildings and Grounds, it “That’s the thing you realize, you set out to do this thing had a very Fleetwood Mac vibe, the sound and the would indicate. It’s had legs. I think that speaks to what then you’re like, ‘Oh shit, it’s 75 minutes.’ And, to present production, and so I read an interview with Tony somethe album represents.” it as a concert—it’s not necessarily at all how you would where where he said his idea for the band is to sound like pace a live show. It kind of starts out mellow, and then it And what does Tusk represent?

Fleetwood Mac on record and like the Replacements live. gets rockin’ then it gets mellow again. And then it ends “It represents a pretty radical left turn stylistically from I was like ‘Oh man, that’s a guy I’d like to work with.’ So mellow so that’s, honestly, I don’t know how it’s going to Rumours. There’s not a lot [on Tusk] that became hit I kept that in the back of my mind and thought maybe singles. Pretty much every song on Rumours gets played translate. It feels good playing it in my basement though. one day I’ll seek this guy out and see if he wants to make on the radio still. What the record represents to me is I’m a record or something. Four years later the band I was It feels really good to play. We’re cognizant of the fact that sort of, as much as I can be in life, creatively, I like to zig in at the time, Bigger Lovers, did some shows with Tony it may be a bit of a stretch for people to hang with it live when people expect me to zag, and Tusk is a really good while he was doing a solo thing, and we basically bonded and we don’t necessarily know how familiar with Tusk example of a guy really leading the charge of his band in the people coming to the show are. Some people might just over Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey, and Tusk in particudirection he thinks they should go in, and some great music know “Sara’” and “Tusk” and some people might come to lar. With Charlie Hall (vocalist/instrumentalist), one of came out of it that’s really stood the test of time. When you the first times we hung out we were sitting in his living the show expecting to hear “Go Your Own Way” and “The think about all the great bands back then, not a lot of them room drinking and hanging out listening to Tusk and we Chain.” It’s going to be a challenge. But we’re really happy took that kind of risk. There are some similarities between thought, ‘Oh man we’ve got to put something together with it and it’s a lot of fun to do.” n Tusk and the [Beatle’s] white album and [Radiohead’s] OK one day where we play this or record it.’ But what happens with adults is adulthood gets in the way.

There are only three of us in the band, and that makes it harder to ... “have a scapegoat, load gear and pay band-related expenses. It’s also a challenge live to pull off everything we ended up doing on the recording. That said, we all really dig bands that have a different live experience than their recordings. Also, we’d be at a disadvantage in the event of a brawl with another band. You won’t find us talking any shit to the Oh! Pears gang. They have like 27 members and would totally kick our ass.”

There are only three of us in the band, and that makes it easier to ... “make decisions.

The writing and recording process is pretty fun and easy, as each of us has a distinct part of the sound we cover. We’re not stepping on each other. And actually, there’s five of us in the band anyway, when considering Jason plays bass, keys, sings, and hopefully will start playing trumpet.”

As a vocalist, I can really achieve some high pitches and top-end registers because ... “when I started playing in bands, I had to belt it out to be heard over the other instruments. That’s the sound that came easiest. With practice, I was able to develop a full range without hurting myself or losing my voice.” n

Who would’ve expected attempts to enliven Great White’s moth-eaten glam with a few sparklers could turn out worse than Joan Rivers’ facelifts? This tragedy might’ve been averted if we’d invested in poststardom vocational training for aging hasbeens with drug dependencies. As a bonus we would’ve been spared their dispiriting cover of “Unchained,” which sounds like Thrill Kill Kult, despondent after a week in rehab. This is a band with as many greatest hits collections as studio albums. Shame’s not in their vocabulary. Little surprise their fiery showstopper “Desert Moon” has found its way back into the setlist after singer Jack Russell avowed to never play it again. Apparently their memory’s as fleeting as their fame. When you’ve been out of the spotlight as long as them, presiding over 100 deaths is just another line on your resume. (Chris Parker) n

I was in a really bad/weird place emotionally when we were writing ... “Not so much bad/weird place, but ‘Safe Vacation Destinations’ was written around the time of the Mumbai attacks. Around this same time a friend of mine was traveling abroad and was assaulted and robbed at gunpoint. This all had me feeling pretty agoraphobic and these words came out with the music to match.”

Georgia-born stoner jam icons picked up where the Dead left off in terms of making noodly, bluegrassflavored free-form hippie dance.

ou’d be surprised by how much complete Y and utter horseshit crosses our desks here at Philadelphia Weekly. If that sounds ungrateful, sorry, but some of it is just inexplicable.

Why are we on the mailing list for the Bette Midler Christmas album, for instance? Or, oh, never mind. Won’t name any more names lest feelers get hurt. Point is, when something worthwhile comes through, we celebrate. And Philly threesome Busses’ new, self-released and self-titled album is something worthwhile indeed. Gutarist/ vocalist Dave Brett, drummer Nick Apice and multi-instrumentalist Jason Bachman have written seven tightly wound gems that pack an emotional wallop. Take “House Fire,” for instance. On it, Brett’s usual high register is taken up a notch, replaced by a frenzied vibrato that would make the Darkness’ Justin Hawkins envious. The music ebbs and flows underneath him, dropping out completely after reaching a mammoth crescendo. “The dynamic drops and the fire starts,” Brett says. “It builds and builds until it’s a full-on blaze leaving nothing but embers.” Busses record release show is this Thursday at the Khyber. We started a couple sentences for Brett, and asked him to finish them. He obliged.

indie pop newcomer’s take on dreamy rock is a meandering, spacey and moody record channeling Buddy Holly and Stephen Malkmus.

Philadelphian, buying wine at the same place. I was buying baguettes and honey was a weird thrill people in most states will never understand. I promptly passed out from the novelty of the situation.

When I came to, I was sitting in the heart of Garces Trading Company. The cafe, as it’s referred to, is a grid of 70 seats at 17 tables in the valley between the wine shop and the market. This is also the heart of GTC’s business, as Garces estimates cafe sales account for 60 percent of revenue.

Calling it a cafe doesn’t make it one. During the day, that languid European vibe is most palpable, with blue-

Jose Garces has changed the way you eat. Now he wants to change the way you shop. For a trip to Garces Trading Company, the market-cafe combo he opened in old Union Gourmet in February, toss your milk-bread-and-eggs grocery list. Type up a new one that goes something like this: oil-packed conch, Picholine olives, long-stem tulips, plum membrillo, coq au vin, house-cured chorizo and indigoveined Valdeon swaddled tenderly in chestnut leaves.

At Garces Trading Company, this and more is for sale.

Oh, yeah. You can buy wine here too, in an onpremises climate-controlled bottle library run by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB). For a

bloods chasing blue pills with strong coffee and ladies who lunch lingering over French macarons in Easter Egg pastels. But at night, make no mistake, homies, this is a restaurant. One with hostesses calibrating table waits, managers in tailored suits, linen napkins, bread service, tasting menus and featherweight wine glasses for the rosé I’d just scooped up.

The prices are restaurant-grade, too. Dinner at Garces Trading Company costs as much as dinner at Distrito. Which isn’t to say it’s overpriced, just don’t delude yourself into thinking it’s cheap. Usually, the food, executed by chef Adam DeLosso, who worked the line with Garces at the Four Seasons in New York (and persuaded him to move to Philly), lives up to it, and his frequently changing tasting, at $35 a head, can be a deal. I added to the prix-fixe with made-to-order mozzarella in a sunny pond of Spanish hojiblanca olive oil (nicely warm, but a little too firm) and slabs of baconwrapped country pate (rustic, chunky and properly piggy) with killer cherry-fig mostarda. But I didn’t need them. DeLosso’s tasting spread is more than enough.

It unfolds with meat and cheese, in this case gossamer Seranno ham and tomme crayuese, its earthiness accentuated by truffle-lavender honey. Then came a cleansing salad featuring leaves of endive stacked like pale-green kayaks on a lakeside dock. They cradled bright, bitter Seville orange, ultra-creamy Boucehrondin, golden raisins and Anjou pears, all tossed in a cinnamon-spiced pear balsamic available just a feet away in the market. So is the gingered white balsamic that gives the tender, lemony artichoke hearts their sheen. And the dense date-walnut-fig cake, cut into croutons and scattered over the ’chokes.

Pasta followed, an entree-sized portion for splitting.

In a wide bowl, al dente Severino linguine mingled with cockles, crab, bacon and tons of chopped parsley, so fresh and so clean, less a garnish than an ingredient as important as the aforementioned. I dredged the bottom of the bowl with a slice of sourdough, sopping up the simple but satisfying white wine-garlic-butter sauce.

But wait, there’s more: two half-inch slabs of beautifully cooked strip steak per person. The beef hails from Maine’s Wolfe’s Neck Farm, whom you may know as the supplier for the transcendent burger at Village Whiskey. Marinated in red chilies, the steak was electrified. Green onions, garlicky romesco sauce and lardon-studded heirloom potato salad were all nice, but the steak was so intensely beefy and flavorful that the enhancers were just window dressing.

The tasting includes dessert, under the direction of Jessica Mogardo, the Garces Group’s new corporate pastry chef. The praline eclair painted with a caramel stripe might have been good were it not stale, but the tropical, cloudlike passion fruit-and-banana mousse, hovering over a column of lemon cake, was better, and washed down with a French press of locally roasted Mexican coffee. It’s one of seven joes in a Garces-branded line, and like everything else here, it’s for sale. n

Bitch, Please

Six Movies With Actors Too Old For Catherine Keener pulls off another unlikeable character for Nicole Holofcener.

Their Roles

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Song of Bernadette (1943): Classic Hollywood had a strange habit of casting adults as girls. Ingrid Bergman did Joan of Arc at 33, Norma Shearer played Juliet at 34 (opposite a 35-year-old Romeo) and Greer Garson was Elizabeth Bennett at 35. And as the 14-year-old who saw 18 visions of the Virgin Mary, there was 24-year-old Jennifer Jones, winning her Oscar.

Lord Love a Duck (1966): Adults will always none-too-convincingly play high-schoolers; currently, 90210 has 31-year-old Trevor Donovan. And while most point to 33-year-old Stockard Channing in Grease as this trend’s nadir, the record is Roddy McDowall, 38, playing a mischevious student.

Ando Noboru No Waga Tobou To Sex No Kiroku (1976): In Private Parts, Howard Stern mocked the idea of the 43-year-old shock jock playing himself in college. Even he had nothing on Noboru Ando. A yakuza in his teens, he switched careers after a prison stint and became an actor. In a series of films he made about his yakuza days, he stars as himself despite being middle-aged. In this installment, Ando relives the 35 days before his arrest, which he spent fucking everything that moved.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

The Wiz (1978): Judy Garland was, at 17, a touch old to play a pigtailed Dorothy Gale. Diane Ross was twice that age in the all-black musical version.

Sorority Boys (2002): Collegiate students have about as good a track record as high-schoolers. Dustin Hoffman was a 31-year-old Graduate (seduced by a 36-year-old Anne Bancroft). But Harland Williams, in this cross-dressing yukfest, was about to turn 40.

May 12-18, 2010 • 40

Robin Hood (2010): Aware of how ridiculous it was to have a 45-year-old Robin Hood—the same age of which Sean Connery portrayed an aging version of the bandit in 1975’s Robin and Marian—Russell Crowe went on a crash diet. But, hey, at least he has the accent. n

Table and shares: Kate (Catherine Keener, left) and her husband (Oliver Platt) buy furniture from relatives of the deceased low and sell high.

Nobody loves messy, human imperfections quite like writer-director Nicole Holofcener.

Hers is a slender body of work—a scant four features over 14 years, all starring Catherine Keener in various stages of neurotic meltdown—yet Holofcener’s movies quietly devastate, overflowing with cutting human observations and agonizingly awkward moments that most filmmakers would rather leave on the cutting-room floor.

A thousand miles from the rancid, materialist and misogynist chick flicks that tend to dominate the marketplace (he says, bracing himself for Sex and the City 2) Holofcnener’s films favor behavior over plot, working their way towards tiny epiphanies that feel grounded and true to life.

Nothing huge happens in her movies, but everything always changes.

Please Give is Holofcener’s strongest picture since her offhandedly brilliant debut Walking and Talking, and it again stars Catherine Keener in a role that shouldn’t be remotely sympathetic—but as one of the great actresses of our time, Keener conveys the depths of her character’s vulnerability even as she’s saying exactly the wrong thing at precisely the wrong-est moment.

Keener’s Kate is a vulture, earning untold wealth in Greenwich Village by buying second-hand ’50s-kitsch furniture from “the children of dead people” and marking it up for hipsters who can afford to shell out $4,000 for an ironic end table. (To illustrate, NPR’s Sarah Vowell shows up as a customer. Only in New York, kids.)

Keener’s husband and business partner, a porcine, jocular Howard Stern addict played quite wonderfully by Oliver Platt, has no qualms about their tomb-raiding, but Kate still aches inside. She overcompensates by tossing $20 bills at homeless people—or sometimes just black people.

This is much to the chagrin of her teenage daughter (the deeply moving Sarah Steele), an acne-devastated and overweight teen who wonders why Mom keeps giving money to bums but still won’t buy her those $250 jeans that make her ass look smaller.

Complicating matters is next-door neighbor Andra (played by the Dick Van Dyke Show ’s Ann Guilbert in a tour de force of casual cruelty). Kate’s family purchased the 91-year-old lady’s adjoining apartment ages ago, and they’ve got grand renovation plans—the old bag just needs to die, already, so they can get things going.

Credit Holofcener for capturing the sociopathic brutality of Manhattan real estate.

Keener’s Kate cashes in on death in every direction, from her home to her livelihood, while doing everything she can to convince herself that, in spite of it all, she’s still a decent person. Cue a flurry of rationalizations, overcompensations and random crying spells. Kate’s desperate attempts at volunteer work end in hilarious and sometimes poignant disaster, as she’s never learned the difference between compassion and pity. It’s a bruisingly honest, deeply unflattering role, and Keener is never less than captivating.

Meanwhile, there’s the matter of Andra’s

granddaughters. Rebecca (played with fetching sensitivity and very bad hair by Vicky Cristina Barcelona’s Rebecca Hall) is a dowdy wallflower, devoted to her abusive grandma. Amanda Peet’s Mary isn’t quite so sentimental, cursing and drunk with a bad orange tan.

It’s a little schematic for Holofcener to make the former a radiation technician specializing in mammograms, while the latter is a cosmetologist performing facials. We get it: The “good girl” is looking at X-rays, seeing women on the inside, while the “bad girl” is preoccupied with surfaces and skin.

Then again, there are no true “bad girls” in Holofcener films, just confused and sad ones. I dare say Amanda Peet (despite the ghastly tan) has never been this fetching or vulnerable, falling into a disastrous affair with Platt based almost entirely on disappointment and their shared appreciation of the Howard Stern Show.

Please Give is a tale of awkward compromises and miniscule moments of grace.

The final scene is vexing, a would-be gross example of conspicuous consumption that nonetheless feels like it comes from somewhere genuine and altruistic.

Charity begins at home, right? n

Grade: ADirector: Nicole Holofcener Starring: Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt Running time: 90 minutes

Harry Brown

C Review by Matt Prigge Michael Caine plays the title character, a vet pensioner wallowing in the wrong part of South London. After a fellow geriatric (David Bradley) is offed, the murderers go unpunished, thanks to movie loopholes. Incensed, Brown prowls for justice.

After plugging a drug-and-arms dealer, Brown warmly regales him with a tale from his Royal Marine days. It is one of the few times when Harry Brown approaches moral complexity.

Usually it’s fine giving off the illusion of complexity. Make no mistake: This is just another endorsement of civilians taking the law into their own hands. But star and director team up to class up Gary Young’s script. Caine makes like an elderly version of his Get Carter mobster. If the role were as well-written as it was acted this would be your typical autumnal Oscar turn. Filmmaker Daniel Barber, meanwhile, slows the film down, drawing out moments to the point of pseudo-profundity and making effective use of empty spaces.

Both Caine and Barber (plus Emily Mortimer, as a more skeptical version of the token sympatheticto-the-avenging-angel detective) treat the material as though it were bottomlessly profound. It takes till the head-slappingly boneheaded climax to officially confirm Harry Brown as less than deep. But hey, guys, not even Jodie Foster and Neil Jordan could make this vigilante bullshit work.

C Review by Matt Prigge Racist, homophobic and a megacrank, Brian Cox’s Jacques, the owner of a scummy New York bar, stops short of clubbing baby seals.

He curses at prospective buyers.

He calls a nurse a “chinky Oriental.”

And when his regulars, a troupe of freaks who wouldn’t find acceptance anywhere else, buy him a birthday cake he bans them.

Jacques’ token bright spot is shy homeless kid Lucas (Paul Dano), who’s so Jacques’ polar opposite that he’s introduced feeding a stray kitten.

As Lucas is installed in Jacques’ spare room and behind the bar, is it really so long before this curmudgeon, suffers a change of heart?

Literally: Icelandic writer/director Dagur Kári (Nói) gives Jacques a bad heart that will soon need replacement, as if his dickishness weren’t enough to hip us to his lack of decency.

Good Heart has a problem with redemption symbolism, and tries to float along on the absurdly grimy look and the misanthropy of its protagonist, which is mostly milked. But it’s a joke that can’t sustain itself, even with as talented an actor as Cox, and neither our one-note unlikable protagonist nor his thinly veiled paternal feelings for Lucas develop past the set-up.

When all else fails, Kári throws Lucas a girlfriend (Benoît Jacquot regular Isild de Besco), but she serves only to be mistreated, first

by Jacques, then by the filmmaker himself, who pulls a Cruel God prank in the final moments.

Cox so rarely scores lead that it’s tempting to recommend Good Heart solely for him. Tough call. n

May 12-18, 2010

B+ Review by Matt Prigge The common line on documentaries is they exist to convey information. The trouble is that movies are a terrible way to convey information. It’s nearly impossible to offer more than a superficial understanding of a subject. Cinema creates an experience, a different way of seeing the world.

But for some reason, docs like Lucien Castaing-Taylor’s Sweetgrass, are simple and are a rarity. Sometimes, it’s as though the less you learn, the better the documentary.

And you learn very little watching Sweetgrass.

The film opens with shots of Montana mountains—immaculately composed shots held long enough to make you notice how much time has passed. Get used to it: The film simulates for the viewer the nonpace of country life.

The sheep are heading off to the mountains for summer pasture.

But we’re denied the nature-doc staples: no music, no soothing narration by Morgan Freeman and, best yet, no anthropomorphizing.

What we learn, we learn from the images and sounds the filmmakers have decided to show us, or from chatter between farmhands.

The filmmakers and subjects never communicate; the only one to acknowledge the camera is a sheep who, just before the title card, stops eating to stare down

the lens. The structure, toggling between mega-minimalism and rough-and-tumble handheld shots, creates a transporting experience.

But even without a narrator a theme emerges. About halfway through, the filmmakers’ attention drifts from sheep to man, specifically an aging, Norwegian cowboy on what we’re later told is the last such trip. Save for a couple moments (a younger cowboy, whining to his mother mid-trip on a cell phone), the filmmakers don’t convey this idea visually.

Oddly, Sweetgrass is at its best when it’s not about anything—when it’s observing man, beast and nature in harmony, or nudging us that the old cowboy is as intelligible as his charges.

C+ Review by Sean Burns More is less in the sequel to 2008’s blockbuster. Granted, the first Iron Man wasn’t any great shakes in originality, but it coasted on star Robert Downey Jr.’s wisenheimer insouciance and director Jon Favreau’s swagger. Despite a formulaic third act, it’s a movie people remember as better than it really is, probably because the bratty attitude and sassy characterizations were a breath of fresh air in this age of somber superhero sagas.

Sadly, the second installment feels like four films crammed into one. We’ve got Tony Stark (Downey) getting carried away with his celebrity, mocking the government and making a mess of superheroism while headed for a breakdown.

Second, there’s a bitter feud with

Mickey Rourke’s tattooed badass, who teams up with Stark’s rival, Sam Rockwell’s wormy weapons designer, for some mayhem.

And since this is a franchise, we must endure 30 minutes of setup for the upcoming Avengers epic.

Did I mention that Tony Stark is dying and needs to invent a new periodic element to save himself?

But despite being structurally disastrous, Iron Man 2 is still entertaining. Favreau’s breakthrough was writing Swingers, and his 2001 directorial debut Made remains one of the most brilliant dark comedies of recent years. The man has an ear for screwball banter, and seems to take pleasure in allowing his actors to riff off one another.

You won’t find a more overqualified cast all year, as Downey, Rockwell, Gwyneth Paltrow, Garry Shandling and Don Cheadle step on each other’s lines with improvisation as Rourke glowers menacingly from the sidelines.

Then come the CGI effects, and everything becomes a yawn.

Savage Love

I

’m a mostly gay male with a boyfriend who is also mostly gay. We are into BDSM—we are both tops and sometimes play with other sub men. I say we are “mostly” gay because we do like to fuck/top submissive women once in a while. We haven’t done this a lot, and never together because we don’t have the same taste in women—until recently. One of our new neighbors, a straight female, is very shy, but she’s opened up to us about her interest in BDSM. We took her to a play party, and she was okay watching others play, but any time anyone expressed an interest in her, she clammed up and withdrew.

She stayed at our side the entire time.

We are interested in propositioning her. Our dilemma is in how to approach someone so gunshy. We want to seduce her into the experience and not make her uncomfortable. Another issue is that we think the reason she has been so open with us is because she assumes we are both 100 percent gay.

TWO GuyS AnD A GIrl TOy

She meets two guys who live together, have presumably noisy BDSM sex with each other and other men, and identify themselves as gay. I’m sure you can appreciate why, under the circumstances, your neighbor might assume you two were gay, right? And that assumption convinced her it was safe to open up to you guys about her sexual interests— interests that are clearly scaring the shit out of her for the moment—because she further assumed, entirely reasonably, that you guys didn’t wanna stick your dicks in her.

The sooner you come clean, the likelier you are to get into her pants, mouth, ass, twat, etc.

Do not attempt to be seductive. Putting the moves on her now could transform a minor and perhaps unwitting violation of her trust into a relationship-ending violation. Instead, just be, um, straight with her: “We should’ve said something sooner, [her name here], but we’re both actually bi, and we thought you should know that. And we also wanted you to know that we’re both attracted to you and, hey, if you want to explore any of this stuff that you’re curious about with us, we’d be up for that. If not, we’re happy to keep being your kinky, gay-identified, completely platonic buddies.”

I

read with interest the letter from the guy who hacked his ex-girlfriend’s email and discovered that she had been cheating on him. I am in a similar situation, if a little more messed-up. I am a single, thirtysomething female who has been having a long-term affair with a married man. We have one rule: We tell one another if and when we fool around with other people. About a year ago, I discovered another affair he was involved in. I discovered it because he left his email unattended. He was not apologetic, and I ended up being the one who begged for forgiveness for invading his privacy. He did, however, promise to end his relationship with the woman. I recently discovered that he has struck up a fresh correspondence with this same woman. I gained this knowledge by invading his privacy again—this time by outright hacking his email—but he also betrayed me, and he needs to be held accountable. you are probably wondering why I am not just cutting this guy out of my life. We have amazing sex and enjoy the same kinks. But how can I trust anything he says anymore? I really want to call him on this. He broke our rules. Do you think I am out of line in confronting him?

MISTreSS IS PISSeD

According to the “Mistress, whining about being cheated on” listing in the Association of American Advice Columnists’ Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Staggeringly SelfServing Bullshit , I’m supposed to slap the shit out of you, MIP. The DSM instructs me to

By Dan Savage

mail@savagelove.net

respond to letters like yours with something like this: “Your lover is cheating on his wife with you, you dumb piece of shit, and you’re shocked to learn that he’s cheating on you, too?” That strikes me as a little harsh. So I’ll go with this instead: You can’t expect a guy to take your rules more seriously than he takes his vows.

As for confronting him: The last time you confronted him about another other-woman, MIP, you wound up begging for his forgiveness. So let’s skip the confrontation and accept reality: Unless you’re willing to walk away from the amazing sex, unless you’re willing to dump the motherfucker, he’s going to go on cheating on you and lying to you about it, rules or no rules. He won’t disclose when he’s messing around with other other-women, MIP, because it’s not just the sex that turns him on. Sneaking around, getting away with it, deceiving you and his wife and his other other-women—all of that gives him a feeling of power and control, and those feelings are as, or more, important to him than the orgasms. Accept it or get out.

I

have a question and don’t know who else to ask: I need support under my scrotum in order to ejaculate. I am 52 years old, and this condition has gotten worse as I have gotten older. When I am having intercourse, I need a position that supports or raises my scrotum, and when I masturbate, I need to put something under it. Is this okay? Is there a solution to make coming during intercourse easier?

THIS OlD ScrOTe

Before I touch on your sack, TOS, I’d like to briefly—very briefly—touch on George Rekers’.

Rekers is a towering figure in the religious right. He’s the co-founder of the Family Research Council; a member of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality, a group that claims it can cure homosexuality; and the go-to guy for “expert” testimony about how gay people threaten and endanger children. And last week, Rekers got busted coming back from a 10-day European vacation with a 20-yearold male escort he found on Rentboy.com.

Rekers told two reporters from the Miami New Times that he “can’t lift luggage,” so what other choice did he have but to hire a 20-year-old with an eight-inch cock?

To mark the downfall of yet another crazy and hypocritical closet case, I propose that “whatever floats your boat” be immediately permanently retired in favor of “whatever lifts your luggage.” This will be George “Rentboy” Rekers’ legacy, his lexi-colonic gift to the English language. Help spread the meme.

Back to you, TOS: First, talk about this with a doc—get your sack examined and your prostate checked. If there’s nothing medically wrong, rest assured there’s nothing wrong. Some guys have large, loose sacks and sensitive balls, and the slap, slap, slap of intercourse or masturbation can be uncomfortable, and lifting your luggage spares you the slap, slap, slap. Alternately, TOS, let’s not forget that your dick, balls, sack and taint compose one big erogenous zone. Lifting your luggage may provide you with a little bit of extra ball/sack/taint stimulation, added stimulation that helps put you over the top, and naturally you rely on that zap more at 52 than you did at 32.

So instead of viewing your need for a ball lift as a problem that needs solving, why not view ball support as the solution to a problem. Or to put it another way …

Whatever lifts your luggage, TOS, whatever lifts your luggage. n
