by William Lescaze and George Howe, the 36-story building is an undisputed masterpiece in the history of American architecture.

Many original details that still exist today, such as, the Cartier clocks (still in operation), the bank vault doors, safe and safety deposit boxes.

The PSFS sign on the roof was the first of its kind. The red neon letters, 27 feet tall, were integrated into the buildings design and lit 24-hours a day. To this day, the sign remains lit and serves as a beacon in the Philadelphia skyline.

Feedback Hot Listing

Regarding last week’s summer guide: I don’t know how familiar you are with skateboarding, but it is illegal in most places in Philadelphia (including every location except for FDR that you mentioned on your list). Since your article came out, the ledges at Love Park have been knobbed (big pieces of metal fused to concrete so you can’t grind or slide on them). I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple other spots you mentioned on your list get skate-stopped in the near future.

In the past, there were small windows of time when you could enjoy these spots; it was just a matter of knowing what the best time was to go. Now that the entire city of Philadelphia knows about these spots, these windows of time are long gone and will never return. I wanted to warn you that the next time you publish something about a controversial topic such as skateboarding in Philadelphia, please perform extensive research before printing anything. One of the main reasons I decided to go to school in Philadelphia was to skate Love Park, and now that is gone forever.

Please tread more carefully next time.

Douche Life

Regarding Bill Chenevert’s recent column ranking bars on Third Street: I’ve witnessed the martini bar/velvet rope upscaling of Old City, the hipster overthrow of South Street/NoLibs and the Penn/Drexel fratdude diaspora in West Philly. And I’m not even going to discuss NE Philly! The douchebag bar factor has been an incurable, creeping virus in this town for many years. Great places for the “other people” like myself and my friends were always eventually overrun by the “other-other people.”

Bars are like those cherished, underthe-radar bands that suddenly start making hit records and become mainstream ... when everybody else gets into them, much is lost.

JIM RUSSO

South St. Congratulations you’ve proven to be the expert in the douchebag field. In what area of expertise do you have any idea of a good night out? The fact you compose this article is a statement in itself, that you can’t go out to bars to have fun but to do a job. Thanks for the great feedback on what its like to go to a bar as a douchebag. Have a good one.

Your self-professed list craziness was amusing, but I’m unsure why you want to avoid conversation with your fellow Temple alumni so much that you’d make it one of your themes. Get over yourself, because it’s not that deep. Engaging in a coincidental chat on the train or in a checkout line doesn’t necessitate us becoming each other’s bridesmaids, kidney donors, investors, dog sitters or happy hour play dates. Also, given the recent spike in unemployment claims, there are still many people who would appreciate a serendipitous job lead, regardless of the connection.

Periscopin’

Going Soft on Sexual Abuse Political correctness and a different kind of no-snitch code.

By Tara Murtha tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com On the website for University of Pennsylvania’s Jerry Lee Center of Criminology (founded in 2000 with Lee’s initial $5 million gift), the accolades and achievements listed include a nomination by the president and subsequent Senate confirmation as a member of the National Board of Education Sciences, which governs the “research arm” of the U.S. Department of Education.

He is also the founder of the Jerry Lee Foundation, a philanthropy dedicated to “reducing crime and enhancing education through research on what works to achieve these goals.”

Howard and Lee were unavailable for comment, but a press rep from B101 sent a statement released in response to PCAR’s statement urging listeners to contact the station to protest their decision.

B101’s statement begins with a clarification that the ad centers on “an extremely important topic,” and that B101 offered to pay the cost of reworking the ad minus the offending words.

“The reality is there is language that parents tell us they feel isn’t appropriate for their pre and elementary school aged

children to hear. “‘Mommy what’s that mean?’” is a phrase that makes them feel that we as a radio station have let them down.”

“B101 has a long-standing history of going above and beyond to help our community,” it continues. “In fact, the owner of our company has done more for children in this area than any other broadcasting company in Philadelphia.”

Of course Jerry Lee cares about crime and kids; he has the resume to prove it and has put some of his significant fortune—the station reportedly generates $30 million a year in revenue—behind it. He became arguably one of the most successful indie radio operators in the country by knowing exactly what people do and don’t want to hear.

He knows, quite accurately, that regular, nice paper-pushing moms, like the kind on their commercials, don’t want to even hear about something as crude as childhood sexual abuse tarnishing the groovy soft-rock that helps them get through the day. But keeping such manners doesn’t do much for the kids who need help getting through the night when the dark and hidden figures appear. n

The radio ad says: “I want to talk to you about a subject many people try to ignore—child sexual abuse. Each year in Pennsylvania thousands of children are sexually abused and most cases are never reported. Without help these children may have a lifetime of mental health issues. But there is hope—you.

If you believe a child is being sexually abused, please visit heroproject.org or call 1.877.874.HERO.” The spots began running June 1 on CNN, Discovery Channel, Fox News and Lifetime among other stations.

But popular local radio station 101.1FM “B101” (slogan: Makes you feel good!) refuses to air the campaign unless the words “sexual” and “rape” are deleted. (The word “rape” is said in the context of “sponsored by Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape.”)

B101 is known for its bumblebee mascot and commercials featuring pleasant mom-types sitting at desks claiming B101’s soft rock helps them get through the day. Broadcasting since 1963, B101 is the only independently owned radio station in the local market and is a topranking station with more than 200,000 listeners.

According to PCAR Executive Director Delilah Rumburg, station manager Blaise Howard told her the station doesn’t take “explicit ads” because WBEB is a “straight-laced” company.

The station offered to run the ad if the words were removed, so mention of plain old childhood abuse is OK, but not when it’s sexualized.

Rumburg says: “Our statewide HERO campaign urges adults to ‘Be a hero.

Step in. Stop abuse.’ by reporting suspected child sexual abuse … This message was in no way sexually provocative, but it also did not shy away from the issue at hand. Child sexual abuse is happening in our communities at an alarming rate. And pushing it ‘under the carpet,’ or off the airwaves is not helping to stop it.” Current estimates say 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused by the time they are 18 years old.

She adds: “If WBEB thinks our message is too scary for an adult to hear about child sexual abuse, imagine how difficult it is for a child to experience.”

What makes the irony too rich for my blood is that B101 is owned by Jerry Lee, a world-renowned supporter in criminology and social-science education.

Our June 9 cover girl, Kathryn Battle, a Philadelphia police officer in the Homicide Unit, says that though the ‘nosnitch’ mentality hinders many of the PPD’s investigations, people break down and talk when a crime is particularly heinous. (Or when a handsome financial reward is offered.)

No-snitch came up time and again the last few weeks as the brutal details of three sexual assaults, one of which ended in murder, dominated local headlines.

It’s easy for people not living in the context of the code of the streets, sitting on what feels like the outside of so much senseless violence, to wonder how communities can simultaneously complain about unsolved crime and reserve details that may lead to an arrest.

But no-snitch isn’t just for thugs. It’s for PTA moms, teachers and, apparently, it’s also for the most middle-class of softrock enthusiasts. Instead of applying to crimes in the street, this broader brand of no-snitch applies to crimes in the home, and especially childhood sexual abuse. Instead of hiding behind physical threat (“snitches get stitches”) this kind of no-snitch cowers behind a polite rubric. It says to mind your own business, not to be nosy. But this socially mandated silence functions the same way the street version does, enabling crimes to become commonplace.

Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR) estimates that 22,000 kids in Pennsylvania are sexually assaulted every year, though rape and sexual abuse data are always estimates because sexual assaults of all kinds are notoriously underreported. In industry lingo, the data is compromised by “dark and hidden figures.”

This polite, pinkies-out type of nosnitch is such a pervasive problem that a new strategy in the campaign against childhood sexual abuse targets adults.

With the help of a $250,000 grant from Sen. Robert Casey, PCAR designed the HERO Project campaign. The message is that adults have a responsibility to speak up when they suspect a child is being sexually abused. The TV commercial shows a little boy playing on railroad tracks.

The train rumbles louder and louder then a voiceover asks, “If you thought a child was in danger, if you thought a child could be hurt, wounded, scarred for life, would you just turn away?”

The Weakest Link

The Sheriff’s Office takes heat over inefficiencies in handling tax delinquents.

By Randy LoBasso feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

P

In spite of criticism, there is a job to be done—just not by a sheriff. The Committee of Seventy suggests that the Police Department take over warrant and civil-process services since City Code authorizes it to do so. Prisoner transportation, too, “could be parceled out to the court system or to the Police Department,” since the police, um, already take care of that. The report also cites New York City’s Finance Department as an example of a city agency that is

voted on in May 2011. Still, he’s got the Democratic machine, endorsed candidate State Rep. Jewell Williams and, as John McNesby, president of the FOP told the Inquirer, “the wrath of 6,000 police and 14,000 FOP members” against him.

Luckily, there’s still a fourth piece in the puzzle: John Kromer’s idea to surpass Council bureaucracy—if you let him.

Kromer, a faculty member of the University of Pennsylvania Fels Institute of Government and a former director of

Phia Co un t y

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

If the city is still on this “eliminate unnecessary offices and positions” kick, we suspect the Sheriff’s Office could be next on the chopping block.

Held by John Green since 1987, the position has been voted on every four years since 1838, but if the Committee of Seventy, the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA), Councilman Frank DiCicco and potential 2012 sheriff candidate John Kromer get their way, there won’t be a Sheriff’s Office to vote on. In a 2009 report titled “NEEDLESS JOBS: Why Six Elected City Positions Should Die,” the Committee details recommendations for the elimination of the office, saying “the fiscal crisis gives us a rare opportunity to significantly restructure the government.”

The Sheriff’s Office is responsible for several law-enforcement roles, including serving warrants and civil complaints, processing subpoenas, transporting prisoners and conducting sheriff’s sales on foreclosed, seized and tax-delinquent properties. Green collects a salary of $112,233 and leads a department of 242 employees. The office is not overseen by the mayor.

PICA says their recommendations could amount to $13 million to $15 million in savings. (Funny, that’s about how much the city says it needs to cut from the Police Department). Further, PICA tells us the city’s costs associated with the Sheriff’s Office (its budget stands at about $15 million) is 23 percent higher, per capita, than the median of Pennsylvania counties’ equivalent offices.

If that isn’t enough for you, City Controller Alan Butkovitz found, in a 2008 auditor’s report, “poor internal controls over the payroll, personnel and other expenditure operations in the Sheriff’s Office.”

Green plans on retiring before his term ends in 2012, partly because of his enrollment in DROP, at which time he’ll receive a lump sum of $331,744 and then a pension of $8,464 per month, according to a recent report by the Inquirer.

He rarely speaks to press, “refused to cooperate” with the Committee of Seventy, according to the cited report, and his office responded to PW ’s requests for comment only to mention the sheriff had no comment.

Eliminating a position isn’t easy, and not just because of the bureaucracy associated with the people in charge.

equipped to take care of sheriff’s sales.

Last Thursday, Councilman Frank DiCicco introduced a proposed amendment to the City Charter that would eliminate the Sheriff’s Office if Philadelphia’s voters approved the referendum.

The Sheriff’s Office has always been about the ruling party; Since most residents aren’t sure of what the office does, they often vote the party line. Because DiCicco made his announcement on City Council’s final day before summer vacation, he’s set a goal of having this

Gr ee n

the Office of Housing and Community Development, tells us a run for the sheriff’s position is an “intriguing idea, no question about it.” Kromer says the city needs to get tougher on tax delinquents.

And the only way to do that is to eliminate the office and have the housing role replaced with, possibly, a new agency.

At the time of this writing, however, he hasn’t made a decision on whether to run against State Rep. Jewell Williams, the candidate endorsed by Green.

The idea of getting elected to a position

you want eliminated may sound a little Jihady, but Kromer’s got his reasons.

“The city really needs a credible threat to use,” he says. “That is, they need to say, ‘If you don’t pay taxes, we’ll take your property.’” To do this, “the city needs a good working relationship between four agencies: the Department of Licenses and Inspections, the Revenue Department, which collects taxes, the Law Department and the Sheriff’s Department.” The Sheriff’s Office, claims Kromer, is the weakest link between these four agencies and has proven it doesn’t have the capability to handle tax collection in a higher volume than it already does.

He recently told the Inquirer the solution to this problem would be for the sheriff to design a new sheriff-free system that would acquire all tax-delinquent properties in the city and turn them over to responsible developers. To do this, he says, the sheriff should directly oversee the transfer of these responsibilities and then work with City Council to pass a proposed amendment to the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter for submission for approval by the voters of Philadelphia.

What about the duties being fulfilled by the Sheriff’s Office pertaining to tax delinquents and housing?

“Flint, Michigan organized a Land Bank Authority which, at the beginning of every fiscal year, takes over all the tax-delinquent properties for tax collection in sale,” he says, speaking of the Genessee County Michigan Land Bank, which, since 2002 has been responsible for what it calls keeping tax-delinquent properties out of “legal limbo,” taking them over for development and sale.

Kromer calls Genesee County’s authority “the gold standard.”

Studies would have to be conducted first, Kromer says, to determine whether duplicating the Midwest program would be the right fit for Philly.

“No one’s addressed these problems before in Philadelphia and it’s never been a campaign issue,” he says. “The sheriff has been elected every four years based on other considerations. There’s an opportunity here because property neglect is so widespread and you can’t find too many examples of the city addressing those problems … I think campaigning on that basis is productive and could educate people on how to solve this issue.

It could be a great campaign promise.” n

Tyree "TopDollar" Dumas

a streetwise entrepreneur makes major moves with inner-city youth.

By Aaron Kase akase@phladelphiaweekly.com

O

n March 20, text messages filled Philadelphia’s airwaves, inviting kids from all over the city to meet up on South Street. Within hours, several thousand mostly black kids were on the scene, milling around or dancing in the street.

“It was kind of craziness,” says Cassie Sims, who got unexpectedly caught up in the rush. “Everyone was running in every direction.”

When Tyree Dumas got word of the event, the 21-year-old immediately started sending out texts of his own encouraging members of his crew to

“There’s a lot of groups beefing with each other,” Top says. “They start staring each other down the wrong way, they walk by and bump one another ... any way to initiate a fight. From there, it’s like a virus. You start fighting and it just catches on.”

riding the momentum of Philly’s urban dance and party scene, starting to draw regional and even national attention. TopDollar started the dance group in 2005 with just 20 or 30 of his cousins. They’ve since grown to more than 5,000 official members in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware. People in every state have signed up to be DollarBoyz through social media sites like Facebook and MySpace. The group is open to kids of any race, though current membership is almost entirely African-American. In the first six months of 2010, their website, dollarboyz.com, has received between

17,000 and 27,000 hits per month.

A number of labels could apply to the DollarBoyz: Dance team, party promoters, community activists, musicians, filmmakers. However you categorize the group, please don’t call them a flash mob.

“If you are not a flash mob, what are you?” Top asks his kids in a promotional video. “DollarBoyz!” they shout back. “All positive, man. All positive,” a kid adds.

Throughout their varied activities— dance, film, music and community outreach—the DollarBoyz strive to send a message of positivity. The Boyz serve as a messenger for efforts to combat not only pervasive inner-city violence but also the racial stereotypes and unkind media portrayals that accompany it.

Most importantly, the group provides a fun, safe environment for kids to hang out off the streets and away from negative influences.

“My whole goal is to give the kids a safe haven, keep them out of trouble,” says Top, the one-man engine behind it all, serving as mentor, organizer, promoter, camp counselor, agent and friend to the kids.

He says the tone of the messages sounded innocent enough: “Come out, chill, ain’t no parties tonight, come down South Street … just have fun walking around.”

But still, he wanted nothing to do with it. “I seen how well-promoted it was,” he says, referring to the volume of texts going around. “Too many people in one place, something is bound to go wrong.”

He was right. The event turned ugly when fights erupted among groups of teens. The violence quickly intensified, with kids jumping on cars and spilling onto neighboring streets.

Bystanders and shopkeepers were assaulted, punched repeatedly in the face by laughing teenagers.

Hordes of people hurried through the streets seeking refuge from the menacing teens, hiding in bars and other establishments, as police tried in vain to disperse the crowds and control the mini-riot. Later on, eyewitnesses described the scene as a “stampede” or “tsunami.” From 8 p.m. until almost 1 a.m., outof-control kids ruled the street.

Top stresses that most dance groups, like the DollarBoyz, are just looking for fun, competition and to build a name for themselves.

“Dancing is the number one thing right now,” he says. “That’s what put us out there.”

“There” being the position to create change.

DollarKids and DollarBabies for the very youngest members.

Every afternoon, anywhere from 30 to 100 kids show up from all over the city to dance and hang out at Cookman United Methodist Church in the heart of North Philadelphia. The church has stood on the corner of 12th and Lehigh in some form since a chapel was first built in 1881. After a fire destroyed all the church buildings in 1926, the cornerstone for the current structure was laid on April 10, 1927. Upstairs are a congregation area and community meeting places. The downstairs basement is the DollarBoyz’s domain.

Party music pumps out of an old stereo set up on the peeling linoleum floor. All around the large, mostly open area, kids sit in groups, in restaurant-style booths and old armchairs set up around the edges of the room. In the middle of the floor, in a space divided by red pillars running floor to ceiling, a few boys show off, dancing, strutting, breakin’ to the music. The room is superficially clean but dingy from age.

A few broken windows peer into an old kitchen along one wall, just above an aged pool table.

Top sits in the small office behind the common room, crowded with tables, chairs, some computers and a mini-fridge.

He’s wearing warm-up pants and the official DollarBoyz T-shirt, black with silver “Db” letters across the front. An inch of beard sticks off his chin, but he keeps his hair otherwise trimmed short. In between joking around and busting on his kids, he

Though Their origins

lie in dance, the DollarBoyz stand for much more than just partying. TopDollar tries to provide opportunities for education, employment and development activities.

So far, 350 kids have asked him for help getting jobs this summer, he says, and 135 already received work through the Philadelphia Youth Network WorkReady program, which offers interview and skills training and connects kids to job possibilities.

“They get hands-on training and exploration in different job fields,” says Top, listing retail, movie theaters, camps, banks and nonprofits. He’s even working on opening a virtual school for entrepreneurship through YNOT, a nonprofit startup associated with DollarBoyz.

And there’s a new record label to promote music created by members, called HitMakers Records. He calls his musicians the Dollar Family. “I didn’t want to make it seem like it’s just boys,” Top says.

“Basically, we a family.” He rattles off the different categories, divided by age and sex: DollarBoyz, DollarGirlz, DollarBoyJrs,

struggles to define why he is so motivated to work with youth.

“I don’t know. I just wanted to keep the kids off the street,” he says. “A lot of them get wrongly motivated to do dumb stuff.

Little stuff that they don’t see the bigger picture of it as being actual crimes.”

Top grew up in North Philly and knows the pressure of inner-city life. His parents separated when he was younger, and he spent most of his youth at his grandmother’s house not far from Cookman Church, where he still lives.

His mother held a steady job at

The stereotypes extend to the party world, too. Although no one ever came out and said it, parties like those thrown by the DollarBoyz fit the description of the real targets of the promoter bill that passed through City Council this spring.

“Over-promoted” was the phrase Councilman William Greenlee used repeatedly to describe the impetus for the bill, which requires promoters to register with the city and alert the police two weeks in advance if they plan to take over a venue and supply their own security. Officials testified about parties “heavily promoted via posters and electronic media.” Police were concerned about events that attract more people than can fit in a venue, and at times break out into violence.

Top insists that he’s “never had any big fights,” while in the promoter business.

Nevertheless, the negativity surrounding black youth has limited the DollarBoyz’s access to party venues. A March 26 event scheduled and heavily promoted—via videos and MySpace—for Temple’s Liacouras Center was canceled at the last minute.

“It just got too big,” Top says. While it didn’t help that the South Street riots had occurred the previous Saturday, Top believes that Liacouras General Manager Fran Rodowicz pulled the plug fearing kids would overrun the venue. Rodowicz did not respond to requests for comment.

The Legendary Blue Horizon, another popular African-American venue near Broad and Master, was closed this month

by L&I for operating without a license.

Another DollarBoyz haunt, a club at Broad and Susquehana, was also shut down. The group is now limited to using Cookman Church and the fire halls in Mantua and Belmar, both in South Jersey.

marketing campaigns, given his group’s experience with promotion, flier design and its reach within inner-city neighborhoods. “I see all the possibilities that can come out of this,” he says.

While the DollarBoyz

strive to create opportunities, they find that not everyone is receptive to their presence. Young black males traveling in large groups—the Boyz often move in a crew of 20 or more—attract the eye of law enforcement, and the group has felt the effects of increased police scrutiny since the rash of flash mobs a few months back.

Top says that a crew of six is enough to attract negative attention.

“We walk to the store … as a big, large group, the cops will show up. They come out of their cars with their batons out, saying ‘Get the F out of here,’” he says.

“I tell the cops, ‘Yo, we a positive youth group,’” says Top, adding that the police generally back off until the next time they try to walk down the street.

kids like Moises “Moey” Rivera, a 16-yearold DollarBoy from Kensington. Moey helps the group with graphic design, photography and videography for their fliers and website.

“It’s positive, you can make money without selling drugs or nothing,” Moey says.

Always on his grind, Top also works as a program coordinator at the YMCA and has an account with AT&T to resell devices on Ebay. He stresses entrepreneurship to the kids and has set up the DollarBoyz as a corporation with himself as CEO, though their business activities are only just getting off the ground. The group sells T-shirts and hoodies and hopes to start making money through the record label. Additionally, they are sometimes contracted to dance at parties.

Top recently attended the Pennsylvania Association of Public Service Agencies business expo on June 2 to hone his business skills and learn how to win contracts with the city. He says the DollarBoyz can be competitive for things like SEPTA

attention and lack of venues, Top continues to use social media and word of mouth to spread the DollarBoyz name and attract kids.

“They’re just famous,” shrugs Nasha Lester of New Jersey when asked how she heard about the group. She says her mom drives her in twice a week so she can hang out.

“They known around the city because of the YouTube account and videos and the website,” says Tamir Harris, 13. He’s been with the group for three years now, since it was just a handful of people.

When traveling as a group or when at a party, members often chant their name to gain publicity: “Dollar Boyyyyz, Dollar Boyyyyz.”

“They were screaming their name out at a party,” says Darius McLaughlin on how he learned about the group. McLaughlin, 17, also comes in from South Jersey for meetings. “He [TopDollar] does stuff for kids to get us off the street,” he says.

McLaughlin rattles off reasons why the DollarBoyz are so attractive to kids: “Dancing, positivity, sports ... something to do so you aren’t sitting around getting in trouble.”

Kraft Nabisco so Top says he didn’t have the same financial concerns as some of his peers. “I didn’t have money issues so I would give, give, give as much as I could,” he says.

The budding entrepreneur says he stayed out of trouble growing up, and describes himself as a good kid who hung around with bad kids. “I always was the person that everyone looked up to,” he says. “If I would say something, people would be real receptive and listen.”

“A couple years ago, catch and wreck was the biggest thing out there,” he says, referring to the practice of one group of kids attacking another, unprovoked. “I would be in the larger group, I would talk them out of initiating it.”

While Top didn’t share the economic plight of most of his friends, he did have one thing in common with them: It was hard focusing on education. He bounced between three high schools—distracted by dancing, promoting and his work with youth. “I get sidetracked real easily,” he says. Top hopes to finish the online courses he’s taking at the Pennsylvania Academy of Leadership Charter School next year.

But unlike many of his peers, lack of progress in school never stopped the streetwise entrepreneur. His father gave him the nickname TopDollar when he was a kid.

“He used to play with money when he was little,” says Top’s father, Gabrielle “Troy” Dumas. “He would play store with his little sister.” The elder Dumas says he’s proud of the work his son does with kids. “It’s good what he’s doing now … I guess it’s a gift.”

Top’s entrepreneurial swagger was evident even back in elementary school where he hustled everything from Oriental trading books, cookies and pens out of his locker.

“I’ve always had an independent business mind,” he says.

At 12 years old, Top got his first job at the E3 Power Center on Germantown Avenue, starting as an office aid and quickly moving up to assist with video production.

By the time he was 16, Top moved on to party promotion, saying he got into the business because that’s what attracted kids. “Whatever they [the kids] like doing, I promote it,” he says. He charges about $10 to get in the door at parties that he throws once a month or so, more often during the summer. He says at least 500 kids show up to every event, and claims he could make between $30,000 and $60,0000 a month but instead frequently loses money because he doesn’t strictly enforce the door fee.

“If kids come to me with a dollar or three dollars, I let them in. I’m not necessarily in it for the money,” he says. “It’s just something for kids to do.”

What money he does makes, Top says “goes right back to the kids,” through trips to McDonalds and the movies and rewards for doing well in school. He also pays for assistance promoting parties, to

Videographer Jon Kaufman

Youth of all Kinds have found

refuge with Top and the DollarBoyz.

Rhonda Sanders, 18, moved to Philadelphia last winter from Atlanta to visit her mother. In March, she had a baby, who she calls the newest DollarBaby. She was just hanging around outside the church when the DollarBoyz walked up, chanting their name, and she’s been coming to meetings ever since. “I don’t know nobody,” she says about her recent arrival in the city. “They get me out of the house.”

“I been on board, it’s related to my goal,” Sanders says. “I want to open my own dance studio.”

First, she hopes to attend Temple or Drexel to study business administration and dance.

She was a subject in Kaufman’s documentary, and also participated by interviewing others on their views about teen motherhood.

“It’ll be a milestone when my son turns one,” she says.

Trevor Scott, 17, goes by the name “Tech.” “I’m good with computers, and work in the IT field,” he says.

He will be a senior at Swenson Arts and Technology High School, earning certificates in IT essentials, Cisco networking and other software programs. He plans on attending a four-year college and continuing in the IT field.

Tech is also a musician. “It’s my dream,” he says. “But it doesn’t always happen for everybody,” explaining his dedication to education.

He’s been rapping for five years, but recently decided to explicitly pursue a more positive tone. He shows an old video he

made on YouTube, touching on standard hip-hop themes of drugs, violence and women.

“Tech, I thought you said you was being positive,” someone jokes.

“I heard some kids repeating things that I said and it wasn’t good,” he says about his choice to change direction, leaving behind videos like the one he just played for a more productive message.

Currently he’s contemplating a rock track focusing on the importance of education.

“Kids don’t think logically, they just think of today,” he says.

Tech has been with the DollarBoyz for about a year after discovering them through Internet videos. “It’s a family. It brings in kids that get less attention at home,” he says.

Donna Jones, the reverend at Cookman, says the church welcomes the DollarBoyz with open arms. Jones smiles when she thinks about the church’s basement, previously underutilized, filling up with people every day. “Just a lot of life. A lot of kids.” She adds: “Wherever [the DollarBoyz] go there’s music. They attract a lot of young people.”

Jones says she appreciates the DollarBoyz’s efforts to promote education and nonviolence as a more positive approach to problems in vulnerable neighborhoods.

“We need a cultural overhaul around violence and poverty,” she says. “The criminal system tears families apart. If all you get is blame there’s no opportunity to remediate the situation. It’s just a vicious cycle.”

Jones laments the lack of city funding for soft programs—libraries, rec centers, teen centers and art—which are the first to see cuts in hard times. “As money gets tight the city’s hands are tied,” she says.

“Who picks up the slack?”

Top agrees that there’s little for kids to do. He complains about all the money spent on police and prisons instead of reaching out to help at-risk youths before they get in trouble.

“It’s jail, right away,” he says. “Michael Nutter—what reason does he have to spend billions on police and prisons and taking other things away like parks and rec centers? Just work with the youth instead of locking them away,” he says.

If the city won’t step up, Top sees it as his job to fill the void.

in addition to

the programming at the church, the DollarBoyz are making their presence felt at events all over Philly. A group of 20 attended the Hands Off African Youth Conference at the New Freedom Theater on Broad Street in May. The conference, hosted by International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement, was held in reaction to the arrest of 29 African-American children after the South Street incident.

Organizer Diop Olugbala railed against the mayor for spending more money on police and prisons than on youth programming, but the real highlights were the performances: First a show by

simulate mourners.

“Where we gonna get a coffin from?”

TopDollar asks.

They decide to just have the corpse covered by a sheet.

“Better to get a younger kid to be the victim,” someone else muses. “It’s more tragic that way.”

“What’s the shooting over?” They debate over a girl, a basketball game and money before settling on a simple jostling between two people in the street.

Kaufman explains the logistics of setting up a scene. “When you walk into the room, what’s the first thing you see?” he asks. “What do you see out on the block?”

They decide to create atmosphere by showing little girls jumping rope and people sitting on the step braiding hair in the background.

In the middle of the planning, Saul bursts into the office from the common area where he had been dancing. “Guess what ya’ll, I did a flare!” he yells excitedly.

He drops to execute the move, hands on

the floor while kicking his legs out behind, and falls to the ground in laughter.

“Saul, you need to stop dancing and start studying,” his friends joke.

encourages another mode of creative expression among the group, teaching a video class to the kids three days a week.

Kaufman came to the DollarBoyz two months ago from the Arts and Spirituality Center at 38th and Chestnut, a nonprofit dedicated to serving vulnerable communities with artistic outreach programs.

He helped the DollarBoyz create a documentary about how kids use creative outlets and performance when growing up in a violent society. Impressed with the group, he stuck around to work on other projects.

“There’s a lot of talent in this room,” Kaufman says, adding that he wants to expose as many kids as possible to videography. “I’m trying to show [them] if you stick with it you can make videos on a professional level.”

The Boyz plan on using their video skills to kick off a North Philly News Network this summer through their YNOT nonprofit to make videos on local events for their website and YouTube, and possibly for public-access cable channels as well.

The group is also working on a new documentary, which Kaufman hopes will be aired on MTV. “It’s an art, and a technical skill,” he says. “There’s a message behind the videos but also a message in making them.”

“I do my best to teach them technical things, but it’s more exposure than anything else. There’s always a few that will take it further,” says Kaufman.

One of the participants is Saul Miller, 12, who lives nearby.

“I come every day,” he says. Like most of the kids, he was attracted to the DollarBoyz by the parties and dancing.

Kaufman lets Saul shoot the intro for a new documentary.

“Come on Saul, get up to eye level, what I told you,” he instructs.

Shawayne Tavares and Johnnay Bradford, both 15, speak while Saul holds the camera steady.

“They say our voice doesn’t count ...

They say if you want something known, you have to spread the word. Well, this is the youth speaking on our view of the violence in Philadelphia,” the girls read out, after a few retakes provoked by uncontrollable giggling.

“It’s basically showing a positive side of Philadelphia youth,” Bradford says about the documentary. “Everyone around us

views us as ‘bad.’”

At a later meeting, the video class works on a sketch to show at an upcoming rally against straw purchasing, when a legal buyer acquires a gun and transfers it to a felon or other party barred by law from owning a firearm. The event is sponsored by Heeding God’s Call, the group behind last year’s protests at Colosimo’s, a Spring Garden gun shop that was shut down in September for facilitating straw purchases.

The DollarBoyz sketch moves backward in time, from a funeral to an argument prompting the killing, back to how the gun was bought in a store before being sold to another customer in the street.

They discuss how to shoot the funeral and the logistics of getting enough DollarBoyz to show up wearing black to

But dancing seems to reign supreme.

“Dancing freezes my mind from everything,” McLaughlin says. “It puts me in a good mood. Makes you feel free.”

Top’s cousin, 16-year-old Damir Scarbrough, has been with the DollarBoyz since the beginning. “I feel as though we’re one of the most positive things in the community right now,” says the Parkway High student, who also loves the dancing. “It’s exercise, stress relieving and a good way to express yourself.”

youth fashion group Fire Clothing, then the DollarBoyz. Members Jrock and D-Wav took the stage and performed “Jus Gotta,” an R&B/hip-hop take on growing up in the city.

“Love and peace we bringin’ it back/ Putting our city on the map/Don’t know if we’ll make it day to day/But this is the streets of Philly PA,” Da-Me Harris sings.

“I speak the truth/I spit it for the youth/Because the city’s so ruthless/Young brother it don’t matter where you from/What matters is the path that you’re choosin’. Time to get that education/Standing on this corner precious time you wastin’.”

The Boyz also flexed social muscle at a “Be Yourself Love Yourself (BYLY)” Youth Pep Rally at MLK High June 4. BYLY works to encourage youth empowerment through “focusing on youth assets and strengths, civic engagement,” to “engage, empower, and educate our youth to become self-motivated, socially-responsible, academically and civically engaged.” The group was there to create a video of the event.

On Friday afternoon, the DollarBoyz descended on the Wissahickon Boys and Girls Club in Germantown to celebrate the grand opening block party for the new Villa Teen Center. Villa is an urban apparel company committed to engaging in the community through volunteer service, economic investment and education opportunities.

“We offer targeted programming around college or career planning,” says Erin Trent, Villa’s community director.

“During the height of the ‘flash mobs’, we started spending more time with teens to find out why they were exhibiting such behavior,” she says. “There are tons of things kids could be doing.”

Villa works with the DollarBoyz to market their programming. “They are organizing street teens and promoting other teens to get them to come to the center,” says Trent. “We learned from the work they were doing, galvanizing teens and reversing negative perceptions.”

The Boyz are starting to gain national attention as well. They filmed a short promo for MTV for Philly Day on May 2 and were recently featured by BET. Network reporter Samson Styles met Top while filming news clips investigating the flash mob incidents. In one news short, the DollarBoyz are shown dancing in several sequences while Styles interviews others about the violence that went down on South Street in March.

In a different clip, he talks to Top and D&G, another promoter, about their use of social media to get the word out about parties.

“I think the way the media portrays a group of young black men is to get together to do something negative. [The DollarBoyz’s] role is completely the opposite,” Styles says. “Maybe young blacks will be less stereotyped if people see the work Top and his crew are doing.”

“What captures my interest about the DollarBoyz is really Top, being that he’s only 20,” Styles says. “He’s taking on this

father role. He’s making a daily commitment to make a change and that’s real inspiring to me.”

Styles says he wants to do a longer documentary on the DollarBoyz for BET, although the network hasn’t given him the go-ahead yet.

Since the So-called “flash mobs,”

the city has been paying more attentions to city kids. The Philadelphia Youth Commission, which was created though a ballot vote in 2007 and works with City Council to give a youthful perspective on legislation, has taken a more active role in promoting positive youth activities.

“When given options to do the right thing, many of our young people will,” says Jordan Harris, the agency’s executive director.

“There are so many youth groups out there that are doing the right thing and many times we don’t hear those names.”

Last month, the Youth Commission sponsored a summer opportunities fair.

“Our mission was to provide parents and young people with an opportunity to see all of the options that are present during the summer months,” Harris says. They also convinced the mayor to put a large banner link to a listing of youth programs front and center on the city’s website. The page highlights summer learning programs, employment opportunities, sports, arts and leadership activities.

Top acknowledges the monumental challenges facing inner city youth. “Kids don’t have nobody to look up to,” he says.

“Fathers locked up, older brothers in jail or dead. Or dealing drugs. And who they do, they want to use them and make money off them with drugs.”

“They’re ignorant and misguided,” Top says, referring to the perpetrators of neighborhood crime. “They givin’ us a bad look.

When one person do something, they look at all African-Americans.”

Violence in urban neighborhoods is “the outcry of kids looking for an outlet to let their voice be heard,” says Youth Commission Chairwoman Jamira Burley. “Too often youth don’t realize the impact those actions can have on their future.”

Top is trying to change that.

a Junior dollarBoy wanderS

into the back office at the church during an interview and Top scolds him for getting suspended for fighting at school.

“Don’t let that happen again,” he warns.

“I see a lot of potential in you.” He adds: “I’m very high on the kids getting good grades in school.”

When his kids get in trouble at school or for shoplifting, Top tries to help, speaking with teachers, parents and police on their behalf.

“Some members smoked or sold drugs, but they stopped to join DollarBoyz,” Top says. “They sell drugs because there’s no jobs, so we try to give them jobs.”

And more.

“I like getting at-risk kids,” Top says.

“They are more responsive to me than their own parents.” n

In addition to releasing fantastic albums like Omar Souleyman’s Jazeera Nights and Night Recordings From Bali , Sublime Frequencies also visually document their adventures.

aurel Hill Cemetery, the national historic landmark off Kelly Drive, will be celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2011. That’s almost 175 years worth of our deceased being put to rest in the hills of East Falls. There are over 33,000 monuments and over 11,000 family lots in the 78 acres that cover the cemetery. That’s a shit-ton of dead people. This landmark is more than just a place to stash the departed; it is seen by many as a ‘sculpture garden,’ with huge, towering obelisks, life-sized marble angels and ornate vaults ten times the size of your studio apartment.

Sunday, Laurel Hill will be giving a tour exploring the symbols found on grave markers, and how those intricate pieces of artwork tell the stories of the people who lie beneath them. See the final resting places of nationally renowned war heroes, public figures, and of course, famous Philadelphians.

Meanwhile, we’ll be tucking into Calypso chef Claudette Campbell’s muchpraised Trinidadian specialty fare.

After the band called it quits circa 2001, the three musicians played together under various monikers before landing on the Fractals. This spring saw the release of their debut LP Heavy Rotation, a collection of nine Hanson-penned tunes that run a gamut of moods from consciously ridiculous (“Priscilla the Killa”) to light pop melodrama (“Isn’t It Remarkable”).

The album’s opener is the jaunty “Take Your Clothes off Please,” whose airy guitar melody reminisces the good-timey playfulness of the La’s “There She Goes.” KEVIN BROSKY

Toy Soldiers Toy Soldiers, the latest band to come out of Drexel University’s MAD Dragon imprint, feed unhinged country blues through damaged amps in boot stomping, piano rolling, old-time mayhem. Begun as a stripped down duo of Ron Gallo and Mike Baurer, the band picked up a ragtag roots orchestra for its debut album Whisper Down the Lane. Baurer has left the band, but others have remained, including gospel-countrysoul diva Kate Foust, inflammatory bluesguitarist Dan King and jack-of-all trades Noah Skaroff, who can play anything from saxophone to lap steel. Up in front, Gallo has the gaudiness of a backwoods vaudevillian, blowing out the big climaxes with a showman-like vibrato and leading good-time choruses with sturdy cheer.

Soul of a People In the 1930s, the Federal Writers’ Project, commonly called the “largest cultural experiment” in American history, assembled a collection of 300,000 first-person narratives, graphs and literary portraits of American life during the Depression. The project enabled professional writers to earn a living while capturing what it meant to live in America at a time when it seemed the nation was teetering over a dark precipice. David A. Taylor, a journalist who teaches workshops in Bethesda, Md., wrote the 2009 book Soul of a People, an award-winning book that profiles some of the WPA writers who bloomed into fame after contributing literary portraits, field recordings and oral histories to the landmark project. Taylor’s book and subsequent documentary, which will be screened at the Free Library with the writer on hand for a discussion afterward, capture how the writers, both famous (Nelson Algren, Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, Jim Thompson, John Cheever, and Richard Wright, to name a few) and relatively obscure (like 1920s screenwriter Anzia Yezierska, nicknamed “Cinderella of the Tenements”) related to one another and to the work itself.

Was it God’s self-immolation, perhaps a protest against the Hustler store down the street (which remained unscathed—make of that what you will)? Or was it merely a freak act of nature? In related news, terrifying Rhode Island drums/bass noise-rock duo Lightning Bolt kicks off its first U.S. tour in four years in Philly tonight. They’re definitely a freak act of nature, will likely put the fear of God in you, and will probably strike you down where you stand. M.a.G. 7pm. $10.

Earlier this month I decided to have a go at Batona Hiking Club’s annual “Manayunk Steps Hike,” which promised a unique look at the riverside neighborhood from various, constantly changing elevations.

The brochure was clear in its warning (“We will climb many sets of steps”), but tempted reluctant participants with the offer of a debriefing afterward at the Dawson Street Pub, one of the better places to drink a beer up in the Northwest hinterland of the city.

At 7 p.m., about 20 hikers met in the Wissahickon R6 station parking lot, people of questionable sanity eager to climb more than a thousand stairs in what was still nearly 90-degree heat even at this late hour.

The hike started with a descent along Ridge Avenue into Fairmount Park, along Wissahickon Creek just before it discharges into the Schuylkill River. Barely had we reached the bottom when we started back up on our first climb, the iconic “100 Steps,” a set made of solid granite leading back out of the park into the neighborhoods. I didn’t bother counting to verify the accuracy of the name, but I will say they were the sturdiest set of stairs we would climb that night.

Batona is open to anybody, but the average age of hiker that night was somewhere well north of 50. As we climbed, we passed many confused Yunkers who were no doubt wondering if there had been a mass escape from the senior center. Persistent discussion of sore limbs and “what the kids are up to” aside, there was ample opportunity for the youth to seek ancient wisdom and hear stories of the neighborhood from when it was a blue-collar union town, before its transformation to a post-collegiate utopia of inebriation and public urination.

We snakes-and-laddered our way through the Wissahickon neighborhood, full of old manor houses formerly belonging to the bosses who lorded over the canal workers who lived down in the relative slums of Manayunk. The neighborhood is built on a hill, home of the infamous wall on Levering Street that bedevils riders in the annual bike race. Parallel streets running along the hill often have stairs connecting them in places too steep to sustain a road. Everyone agreed there are at least a dozen but fewer than 20 such staircases, although no one was able to settle on a precise figure.

The hike was supposed to hit all of them, but, again, no one counted. We moved north in a journey that covered only a mile and a half or so as the crow flies, but with a substantial distance added by the constant zigzagging up and down the stairs.

Daunted by the elevation changes and

stifling temperatures, a few wise members dropped out early to wait for us at the bar.

The physical orientation necessitated by ascending narrow metal staircases made for a distressing amount of time staring at other hikers’ rear ends, but thanks to all that climbing, damned if they weren’t the nicest group of 50-year-old butts I'd ever seen.

Eventually, after we had all dropped approximately 15 pounds in sweat weight, we arrived at the the Manayunk Canal, a brown, stagnant, funny-smelling waterway prone to emitting strange bubblings, but pleasant in its own urban way. Its charms are enhanced in the evening, when croaking bullfrogs contribute to the soundscape.

Plus, the hyperaggressive Canadian geese had bedded down for the night, so passage is considerably safer.

We followed the towpath south to the end of the Main Street commercial district, then climbed up one last set of steps over the train tracks. These stairs came complete with rust holes, but we all made it and, finally, our destination was in sight.

Dawson Street manages to combine the best elements of a dive bar with a beer bar. The selection is impressive, with 15 brews on tap and another 70 or so bottles to choose from. They feature three handpumps for those of you who prefer your beer with the softer mouth-feel achieved by getting the beer out of the keg with gravity instead of compressed gases. And it’s just far enough from Main Street to not attract much of the less desirable element of the Manayunk bar scene (you know who you are).

It took quite a few beers to rehydrate, but then I was off to find a full-length mirror and admire how much more toned and shapely my own butt had become. Thanks, stair hike! n

Several years back, L.A. foursome Silversun Pickups got the great idea to ram the throbbing basslines and guitar-fueled melodrama of Smashing Pumpkins into woozy My Bloody Valentine-ish textures. And voila! Radio hits galore! Frontman Brian Aubert sings like a girl, so he’s often confused with the actual girl in the band—bassist (and sometimes vocalist) Nikki Monninger. That androgyny/mystery/ whathaveyou has served SSPU well: Their second album Swoon continues to spawn smash singles (the latest being “The Royal We”) more than a year after its release. As fine as the Pickups can be live, be sure to get there early because any one of the excellent opening acts could wind up stealing the show. MIChaEL

Art Black Pearl No Curse Sizeable Sample Song and authenticity at heart of Adrienne production.

By J. Cooper Robb jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com

The vision of gallery owner Bridgette Mayer.

By Roberta Fallon rfallon@philadelphiaweekly.com

Take away this ball and chain: C. Kelly Wright (left) and Catharine Slusar in Black Pearl Sings.

Why is now a good time? We’re in a recession.

Galleries are conservative and slowing down, and I’m expansionist. I want to keep expanding the programming. The artists I’ve been talking with would like to show in Philadelphia what they show in New York. Having a big space is one way to attract artists—and clients.

You’re not from here. Do you feel like you’re accepted?

Sometimes people ask me if I’m from Philadelphia and I say no and they turn away and talk with someone else. I don’t want to get caught up in people’s politics.

My values are hard work. I came from nothing. I was born into poverty, was adopted and taken out of that and had a great life and education.

There’s an idea that people don’t buy art here.

Most of my clients are Philadelphians— 60 percent. There are art buyers here.

My challenge is to find people who want to invest more—they run to New York.

How did you build your business up?

Ads and marketing are huge. We take out an ad in Art in America once a year; now we take out an ad in Modern Painters.

How you present yourself on your website is important. A website should be easy to navigate, clean and everything up front. I did mine in-house, and I update it a couple times a day.

Do you ever think of doing something else?

What else would I be doing? I can’t imagine. n Group show to benefit Ready, Willing & Able Through July 2. Bridgette Mayer Gallery, 709 Walnut St. 215.413.8893. bridgettemayergallery.com

What’s your formula for success?

Write a business plan, have a great mission statement, spend the time saving and planning so you can do it well and have a vision of what you want to show. If

what you’re doing is unique to the market, there is more opportunity. The best galleries are run by passionate people. I was shy seeking advice; but in the end, people here are supportive, friendly and accessible.

Black Pearl Sings Through June 27. $25-$29. The adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. 215.568.8079. interacttheatre.org

BM: I’m looking at several spaces—all are in Center City, two are in [Washington Square West]. I like this area, I feel like I’m in the center of things. On First Friday, we’re on the circuit between Old City and Locks, but we outgrew the space three years ago. Now is a good time to move.

script (the audience of New Yorkers in Rozin’s production are played by us theatergoers, making us unwitting conspirators).

As the women grow closer, Susannah exerts more control over nearly every aspect of Pearl’s life. She instructs her how to behave like a proper lady for the white audience, chooses her clothes and at one point tries to convince Pearl to wear her prison stripes onstage for shock value.

Wright has considerable musical-theater experience belied by the singing style she uses in her performance as Pearl. Sounding like a woman who needs to sing rather than a woman trained to sing, Wright’s vocals are soulful, painful, joyful and spiritual.

The costumes by Loyce Arthur aren’t intended to be historically accurate (they’re a few years ahead of their time), instead chosen to evoke the state of Susannah and Pearl’s relationship. Dressed in genderneutral prisonwear (complete with an actual ball and chain), Pearl’s prison clothes rob her of identity, and when she is first freed from prison, she wears a plain, matronly dress clearly chosen by Susannah.

Only when Pearl begins to assert herself does she appear in a stylish purple dress with white trim that (like Pearl herself ) is both bold and appealing.

The costuming choices, sound design and high caliber of acting are reflective of the care given to all elements of Rozin’s meticulously mounted production. In a play that could be one-sided (the role of Pearl clearly being the meatier and flashier of the two leads) this is an evenhanded affair that leaves us questioning whether an outsider can ever “present” another culture accurately and with empathy. n

Shepherding a commercial gallery into adulthood requires the faith of Job and a will of steel. Bridgette Mayer Gallery on Washington Square North, 9 years old this year, is about to catapult itself to adult status with a move early in 2011 to a much larger space and expanded exhibition programming that includes museum-quality shows, panel discussions for artists and collectors and one-off solo exhibitions of international artists along the lines of Kara Walker and Yayoi Kusama.

Mayer, 36, was trained as a painter and art historian at Bucknell. She decided she didn’t have what it took to succeed as a painter in 1998, and embraced the business side of art, an area where there are no shortcuts but hard work, persistence and passion. She’s grown her client list from two to more than 300, and the gallery has been profitable for the last five years. Philadelphia Weekly caught up with Mayer in her gallery.

T i M M c fa r l a n e

Ownership of culture is at the heart of Frank Higgins’ Black Pearl Sings, a compelling drama in a thoughtful production from InterAct Theater Company. Higgins’ play, inspired by the real-life association between musicologist John Lomax and singer/guitarist Leadbelly, focuses on the relationship between two disparate women in Depression-era America.

Susannah (Catharine K. Slusar), a white woman collecting songs for the Library of Congress, has come to a Texas prison to meet Alberta “Pearl” Johnson (C. Kelly Wright), an African-American woman who committed a gruesome murder. (“I cut off his private parts to make the world a better place,” Pearl explains.) Susannah has been searching for old songs Pearl is reported to know; songs that, if not recorded, are at risk of being lost.

Initially wary, Pearl agrees to sing some of the spirituals passed down from her enslaved ancestors in exchange for what Susannah brings to the table: a pardon from the governor. Susannah plans to show Pearl off to New York academics, hoping the notoriety she’ll get from the stunt will turn into a teaching position at a prestigious institution.

Susannah is likeable but naive, at one point announcing that she is an “expert in oppressed people.” While she’s clearly not a bigot, questions of whether she’s particularly qualified to be a curator of AfricanAmerican culture lie close to the heart of the play.

With her stiff posture and determined stare, Slusar’s Susannah is outwardly confident, but worried about Pearl’s possible loose-cannon effect on her academic status. Even though Susannah winces at the idea that she’s become Pearl’s “keeper” after her release from prison, she’s visibly irritated when Pearl shows some independence and deviates from the exhibition’s

Music Remembering Swells

A year after his death, we remember the man and his words.

By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

It’s the winter of ’08 and heatseeking music scribe Steven Wells is thrilled to learn that a band he loves (in theory) is coming to Philly. They’re called the Muslims, and he loves their name. His glee is short-lived, however, as he learns they’ll be changing their name to the much less shit-stirring “the Soft Pack.”

“The Soft Pack? Why not just call your band ‘Beige.’ Jesus Christ, how FUCKING BORING,” Steven yells to no one in particular.

On Los Campesinos!

“Twee is a frequently reoccurring herpes virus under the foreskin of the popcock and Los Campesinos are the weeping sore. I myself will be breaking into the homes of all eight members while they are away on tour and urinating in their empty beds.”

On rock stars living longer “The Police, Genesis and Yes reunions were all made possible by airbags, seatbelts, Viagra and rehab. Death has been robbed of an entire generation of rockers who’ve refused to do the decent thing and die while they’re still vaguely attractive. With catastrophic results for the wider culture. Like Paul McCartney’s last album.”

On Belle & Sebastian “No-talents celebrating their own inadequacy with music so white it’s translucent.”

On Dylan “Dylan actually died of shame in 1964, shortly after he stopped pissing on warmongers’ graves and became a sort of reverseanachronistic John Cooper Clarke clone without the jokes.

What people think of as ‘Bob

Steven Wells: Terribly missed.

Dylan’ today is really a persona acted out by half a dozen octogenarian lesbian drag kings.”

On Dylan’s fans “An obese army of Mojo-reading male menopausal Peter Pans with biscuit crumbs in their spliff-yellowed beards, all just a few more years of nightly real-ale binges away from being permanently colostomy-bagged.”

On Elvis Costello “The fact that Costello’s career continued past 1979’s Armed Forces is proof that capitalism doesn’t work.”

On Green Day “The stench of fetid cock meat.”

On Cheesesteaks “Dog food on a bun.”

On Nine Inch Nails “Mr Trent Reznor, I’m sure you’re a wonderful guy. I bet you love children and dogs and are a warm lover. But onstage you are about as much fun as Christmas in a genital cancer ward. An evening watching your band is almost as pleasurable as three-way sex with Mr. and Mrs Himmler.”

On personal threats received after slagging bands “I will fight any musician or fan, so long as they are more cowardly, smaller and less physically competent than I am. And I can get an article out of it. For I am music journalism—hear me roar.” n

27

On Philly Band Kill You In the Face “Now just a quick message to newish Philly band Kill You In the Face. Lads, you have a fantastic name. So fantastic, in fact, that I expected your music to sound like an air raid on a zoo. Alas it doesn’t. I checked out your MySpace page and your songs all suck. Which is why I am now officially taking your

name away and giving it to a band that rocks. But do not despair. I’ve spent several minutes thinking up names that sum up the sickly, emo-ish priggy-prog drivel you produce. Please feel free to use one: Wank. Drivel.

Insipid. Sweeney’s Children.

Old Enough to Grow Beards.

Squealer. Lime Green Tibetan Hippy Twat. Hat With Ear Flaps.

Two Of Us Wear Glasses. And You Shall Know Us By The Trail Of Tissues. Mouse Cock. Fussy Eaters.”

On Coldplay “I write this in the middle of a sensory storm of alternating devilish pain and angelic fluffy euphoria. On my left shoulder sits the mother of all urinary

Tom Waits “One day Waits will fess up that he only started the drunk-atthe-piano act as a joke. And was stunned when people took it seriously. And by the time he became sick of pretending to be pissed all the time, it was too late, he was trapped.”

On Zeppelin “You’re much better off with Slade, who were basically Zep with decent tunes and cool gear.

Or AC/DC, who were Zep without the dreadful sludgy bits. And a bonus crazy schoolboy.”

tract infections. On the right is an awesome and probably illegal cocktail of all the painkillers I’ve got lying around. Now you might expect the cosy, warm, supernice drugs to be whispering, ‘Oh Coldplay are alright really.’ And you might expect the urinary tract infection to be screaming die die die! atop hordes of Coldplay fans being crushed under a huge, pink, lank-barreled I HATE COLDPLAY tank driven by my aching uretha. But you’d be wrong. Both drugs and cock are agreed that Coldplay are the arthritic and rickets-rotted knees of the world’s shittest bee. Me? I say a pox on both their houses.

For while it’s true that Coldplay are an abomination, stating this in print is like dropping atom bombs into a bucket of already dead fish.”

An opportunity to interview the Soft Pack arises. Steven hops on it. His first question: “WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME???” The man on the other end of the line, presumably, begins an explanation Steven finds unsatisfactory, something about how, in a post9/11 climate, the band name took away focus from the music they were making.

“Who cares about your music?”

Steven asks, befuddled.

The young man is aghast.

“Have you ever even heard any of our songs?” he asks, incredulously.

“No,” Steven replies bluntly, before ramping up his own incredulity. “Have you ever read any of my articles??”

From anyone else, the question might have been absurd. But Steven Wells was a force of nature: a blustery fire-brand who pinged around our office with boundless energy. He was opinionated.

Fearless. Combative. Prolific.

Unyielding.

Last year, on June 24, the ground shook underneath PW when we lost our friend and colleague to cancer. We still think about him often, and not just

because awards for the last few stories he penned for us keep pouring in.

He was a giant. Here, we’ve collected some bits he wrote for us and other outlets. Before you start feeling too sad about the people on the other side of Steven’s rifle scope, remember the words of one of Steven’s favorite targets, Gareth Campesinos, of Los Campesinos!: “There have been a few things that have stood out above others in Los Campesinos! short history that have made me think ‘shit, we’re really doing this,’ and one of them was the first time I read Steven Wells ranting against us. That we were on his radar, and that he deemed us worthy of his bile, was an honor.”

Superstar RADvice: Passion Pit

I’m in a band that got a decent amount of attention on the blogosphere a few years ago, but we just can’t take it to the next level. In fact, we’ve kind of regressed and now people are ignoring us.

What are we supposed to do? – J. Grier P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

I hate to say it, but it’s probably too late for you. Once you piss away your opportunity, forget it. But for any aspiring bands reading this, I will say this: Having a couple songs people like is kinda important, but you gotta have a story to go along with it. Your whole thing can’t just be that you sound like some old Pixies albums. Take me, for example: I told everyone that I wrote the songs that ended up on the first Passion Pit EP as a Valentine’s Day gift to my then-girlfriend as a kind of sonic apology letter, a way to save our relationship that was falling apart.

Is it true? It doesn’t matter! People eat that shit up. Especially chicks. They’re all,

of them—and just jam ’em into that hole and plug it up. It’s a win for everyone: You get to fix your fuck-up, I get to retire, and no one will have to worry about a ton of Manners CDs laying around once the backlash kicks in and everyone hates us. Also, I’d like a $100 million consulting fee for this advice, if you don’t mind.

For more than 40 years, I’ve been trying to get my singing voice as high as it can possibly go. Do you have any special techniques you can recommend? – Geddy L. like, “Awwwww, that’s soooooooooooo romantic!” Then they put down their Twilight book, Twitter about you, and the next thing you know, you’re booked on Jimmy Fallon, selling out big amphitheaters, and swimming in pussy backstage. That’s how you get to the next level, son!

I’m the CEO of a large energy corporation, and we had a little accident with one of our deep-sea oil wells a couple months back. Now we can’t seem to stop the oil from gushing into the ocean. Any suggestions? – T. Hayward

June 23-29, 2010

mmm, that’s a tricky one. My suggesH tion is that you buy up (at full retail price) all the existing copies of our latest CD, Manners—I think my label probably manufactured a couple million

Odds and Ends

By Michael Alan Goldberg feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com elcome to the latest installment of W “Superstar RADvice,” our advice column written by a superstar. In just two short years, Passion Pit has risen from a dinky one-man college recording project by falsetto-voiced keyboardist Michael Angelakos to a full-fledged band and indie-synth-pop sensation capable of headlining a large venue like the Mann Center. In our eyes, that makes Angelakos a superstar worthy of taking your questions!

DeGrassi alum’s muchanticipated is a superproduced monster (Swizz Beats, Kanye, Timbaland) of hip-hop; computery and voice-effect.

Free ASSoCiAtion: Big name guests do not equal a good hip-hop record.

For FAnS oF: Jeezy, Lil’ Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye, Alicia Keys.

ude, I’ve tried everything you can D imagine. I wore the tightest underwear I could squeeze into. I swam with dolphins and studied their mating calls. I sucked on so many helium balloons I almost flew away. I had a séance and tried to summon the ghost of the Bee Gees’ Maurice Gibb to possess my vocal chords. Then I just had my friend kick me super-hard in the balls before every take, and that did the trick. Sometimes you gotta suffer for your art, you know? Now I just have my tour manager drop kick my nutsack right before I go onstage—works pretty well, and it more or less wears off by the time the groupies show up. n Sun., June 27, 7:30pm. $26.50. With Tokyo Police Club + Brahms. Mann Center for the Performing Arts, 52nd St. and Parkside Ave. 215.893.1999. manncenter.org

id you know June is Black Music Month?

D It is. And you’ve got Dyana Williams to thank. Williams, ex-wife of Kenny Gamble of the legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famers Gamble and Huff, co-wrote House Concurrent Bill 509 with Chaka Fattah to get the month on the books, which was made official in ‘02 by then-president George W. Bush (take that, Kanye!). Next Wednesday, June 30, Williams will be honored with a lifetimeachievement award at an event held in the Bonnell Auditorium (Community College of Philadelphia) called “The Comeback— Eve Philly Style,” which will feature performances of music by Philly artists you’ve heard of (Jill Scott, Boys II Men, Eve, Bilal)

by Philly artists you haven’t (J-Mal, Alexis Joi, Rosie Bonds). Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan, Beanie Siegel and others will also be on hand to honor Williams. Admission is $20, event starts at 7pm. >> For the last few weeks we’ve been playing Jill Scott Houston’s Young Mammals new LP Carrots on constant rotation (really). The fearsome foursome lay down their blissfully catchy pop tunes at Danger Danger Gallery (5013 Baltimore Ave.) this Thursday, June 24, at 8 p.m. We’re told they’ll be playing a special set inspired by Black Young Mammals Music Month (not really.)

At Terrain’s Edenic cafe, lunch with a side of gardener’s envy.

By Adam Erace aerace@philadelphiaweekly.com

In an antique greenhouse on a languid spring afternoon, a child was trying to ruin my lunch.

His mom blissfully munched petals of heirloom lettuce while her darling splashed in the greenhouse’s cascading fountain. He bounced around the chartreuse, teal and gunmetal-green lawn chairs like a pinball. He deployed earsplitting shrieks that would render dogs unconscious. When he took a spill onto the unforgiving flagstone floor, the shrieks turned to wails. Later, I felt bad for tripping him, but living in the city, we’ve got to seize our slices of tranquility where and when we can get them.

Few places do tranquility like the Greenhouse Cafe out in Glen Mills at Terrain at Styer’s, the enchanting garden center and latest offering from the retail

wizards behind Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. For urban gardeners restricted to blacktop roofs and backyard cement, browsing Terrain’s maze of blooming oxcarts is simultaneously exhilarating and melancholic. I counted half a dozen species of basil and at least as many mints before channeling Veruca Salt: I want a golden gooseberry bush! And a Japanese elm. And a few more tomato plants because, really, nine just isn’t enough. And then my partner in this suburban adventure reminded me that I do not live on a farm. By the end of an hour here, I was ready to rectify that, move to the ’burbs and raise a couple terrors of my own.

Back inside Terrain’s Greenhouse Cafe, the brats had bailed and quiet presided, interrupted only by the gurgle of the fountain and the clatter of spoons twirled

with the same care accorded Smithsonian artifacts. Terrain can make you contemplate purchasing an 18th-century wrought-iron patio set for the patio you do not own, and the men’s room is nicer than most studio apartments.

Back to lunch, the lush caper-studded chicken salad and roasted-tomato Caprese sandwiches on Metropolitan ciabatta needed salt. According to Rudolf, he’s still trying to find the balance between gently salted (for Terrain’s, ahem, water-retentive clientele) and underseasoned. Cop out?

Maybe. Not that it matters; both sandwiches, recipes from the previous chef, have already been banished. Replacements include roast pork-and-Provy tartine, grass-fed steak frites and a crab cake sandwich with sorrel aioli I’ve got to try.

The lemon tart hasn’t gone anywhere, fortunately for citrus lovers. A finely crimped pastry shell holds a fine curd, glossy and yellow, with a proper balance between sweet and sour. Where there once was a dollop of creme fraiche, there’s now vanilla whipped cream. I savored the last forkful in immaculate silence. n

Not that kind of cheese log: Greenhouse Cafe’s cheese plate and flowerpot of bread.

through tall glasses of blushing rosehip lemonade. Biscuity bread came baked in a flowerpot. Butter wore a boutonniere of Hidcote Blue lavender and a drizzle of Linvilla Orchards honey. So good together, who cares if they arrived halfway through lunch?

“Just baked,” the waiter informed. Sitting here, in this impossibly picturesque setting, I felt like I was, too.

Before the bread, newly installed chef Keith Rudolf charmed with a cool, crunchy salad of raw and blanched seasonal veggies and chopped hazelnuts. Asparagus, snow peas, slender carrots and English peas like green marbles all came from local farms, natch. The mint and cilantro in the pesto came from Terrain’s own turf. The salad, a mosaic of yellows and greens, feels perfect for the setting, one that isn’t lost on Rudolf.

“My wife brought me to Terrain for lunch three years ago. It was so beautiful. She looked and me and said, ‘You need to be the chef here.’” He submitted a resume. And heard nothing. Her suggestion wouldn’t come true until earlier this spring, when a Craigslist post prompted Rudolf, a Supper vet, to try again.

He got the gig, and change is already afoot. The biggest? Dinner service, beginning in July, served to a chorus of enthralled suburbanites. The lunch menu is almost totally new; the generous cheese plate presented on a crosscut tree-trunk tray dripping with honeycomb is the only holdover from the previous regime. It’s a smart one, starring the peerless Shellbark Sharp from the goat farm Shellbark Hollow just down the road in West Chester.

Like the tray? It’s for sale in one of Terrain’s light-filled open-air hangars, where everything from Italian soaps to manuals on DIY pickling is displayed, seemingly

SIX PACK Six Films with EnglishSpeakers Speaking Other Languages

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Breathless (1960): Conversing comfortably in another language is tricky.

Actors don’t want to look like they’re too distracted by the basics of language. Most actors acting in foreign fare allow themselves to be dubbed, often by people who sound nothing like them. So kudos to Jean Seberg.

After a disastrous debut in Saint Joan, in which she was famously chosen by Otto Preminger from thousands of wannabe starlets, she actually spoke French, albeit with a thick American accent, in the film that made her iconic (if not, alas, a star).

Incubus (1965): Only a handful of films have been filmed in the constructed language Esperanto, and only one of those stars a pre-Trek William Shatner. Directed by Outer Limits creator Leslie Stevens, this sci-fi exacerbates the feeling of alienation with its off-beat vernacular, although Esperanto speakers complained that the cast’s pronunciations left something to be desired.

The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967): Gene Kelly spent his autumn years in the likes of Viva Knievel! and Xanadu.

But his true farewell film found him in France, as part of the vast ensemble of Jacques Demy’s air-light, melancholy musical.

sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

Helloooo, nurse! Omar Metwally and Charlotte Gainsbourg in City of Your Final Destination .

comes off as exhausted, bone-weary and ready to die throughout Final Destination’s running time. His resignation is oddly endearing.

Better, though, is Laura Linney, her face hardened into granite and shirt collars pulled up Dracula-style as the late, philandering author’s humiliated widow. A mini-masterpiece of disdain, Linney’s performance is pulled back tighter than her hairdo, all verbal shivs and “accidental” insults. She’s fantastically miserable, swiftly cutting through our dopey protaginist’s doe-eyed optimism with remarks that are only supposed to sound off-hand.

And then there’s Charlotte Gainsbourg, playing not just the dead writer’s scandalous baby mama, but also some sort of idealized figure Ivory can’t quite get his head around. There’s a great movie to be made about some rich guy’s wife and mistress being forced to live together after his demise, but this ain’t it.

Doing her best to strike sparks with the terminally recessive Omar, Gainsbourg wears thigh-high black hooker boots beneath her summer sundresses. But as this is a James Ivory film—and he’s never expressed himself better as an auteur

than during the muted, quasi-chaste nonattraction in The Remains of the Day—Gainsbourg’s weirdo carnality is just another untapped resource.

All Merchant-Ivory productions are beautifully shot, and The City of Your Final Destination is no exception. Ivory constantly breaks up the frame to isolate characters within mirrors and/or dwarf them behind exotic landscapes—he knows what he’s doing as a director.

Still, the movie feels wheezy and exhausted. Metwally’s spineless Omar is one of the dullest leading characters we’ve encountered in quite some time. (Particularly when surrounded by such pros, the actor is dreadfully unappealing.) Ivory’s trademark fussy neat-freak tendencies asphyxiate any excitement.

It’s more suited for a museum than a multiplex. n

Grade: C Director: James Ivory Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Omar Metwally, Laura Linney Running time: 118 minutes

39

Hey, remember the 1990s?

Once upon a time, producing-directing team Ismail Merchant and James Ivory hit the art-house jackpot on an annual basis with their thuddingly obvious and overwrought literary adaptations that subbed as furniture porn, full of glorious period production design, choked-back emotion and helpful monologues that spelled out the themes of some fairly tricky novels. Anthony Hopkins was in there somewhere a good percentage of the time, too.

Alas, the times, they are a changin’.

Merchant died five years ago, and The City of Your Final Destination has been languishing without a distributor for something like three of those. Now finally released, the movie has nostalgia on its side. In a time when Ellen Page and Zooey Deschanel have become the new hipster voices of Fox Searchlight’s faux-indie pseudo-blockbusters, with their cutesy music cues, the Merchant-Ivory stamp feels quaint, dull and adult-ish. This film is an endearing dinosaur.

Based on a book by Peter Cameron, The City of Your Final Destination stars Omar Metwally as an aspiring young scribe (helpfully named Omar) seeking to write a biography of his literary hero, a long-forgotten Wonder Boy who died as an expatriate in Uruguay after penning a one-and-done Great American Novel. In the kind of flourish that only MerchantIvory could throw in—but never dare to dramatize—our lackadaisical young fellow was spurred into action on his pet project after stepping in quicksand. (Yes, literal quicksand.)

Goaded along by his castrating, miserable girlfriend (Youth Without Youth’s Alexandra Maria Lara, way less adorable when she’s not screaming ancient Sumerian) Omar turns up on the doorstep of an estate owned by the late, legendary Jules Gund. Seeking “authorization” for his biography, our poor writer is tossed into a hornet’s nest of dysfunctional family dynamics, old resentments ricocheting off each other somewhere deep in the jungle— their isolation within this giant manse only exaggerating the seething hatred.

Hopkins headlines, albeit in a supporting role, as the deceased’s gay brother.

Prone to protracted monologues about his collection of cravats (“I believe I bought this yellow one in 1966,”) he minces about with a Japanese boy-toy tending to household matters. Such theatrical trappings aside, it’s still an uncharacteristically subtle performance from Hopkins, who

I Am Love (2009): Tilda Swinton was dubbed—with predictably distracting results—in Hungarian in Bela Tarr’s The Man From London. But she went and learned both Italian and Russian for this bombastic bourgeois drama. Which only means more roles for Tilda! n

By Sean Burns

June 23-29, 2010

The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009): Washington-born Jim Caviezel spoke Aramaic as J.C., and he also spoke Farsi in this questionable Iranian expose. Is there nothing he can’t do? (A. Well, sorta.)

After a long delay, dusty City of Your Final Destination isn’t worth the wait.

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

I’ve Loved You So Long (2008): Roles tend to dry up for middle-aged actresses; not, apparently, in France. The absurdly talented Kristin Scott Thomas has always had a second career in France, having learned the language and its specific pronunciations so well she now regularly turns up in the nation’s cinematic output.

I grow so weary of lodging this complaint: Documentaries that are purely expository are a waste of the medium. Books are the most thorough way to convey hard facts; documentaries that merely offer information are essentially heavily abridged books for people too lazy to read.

But I’ve said this too many times before.

So let me cry uncle: Stonewall Uprising— which credits itself as an adaptation of David Carter’s book Stonewall: The Riots that

Davis and Heilbroner try to stir up a lather once they get to the riots, but the film really needed a stylist like Brett Morgen, whose Chicago 10 is one of the few docs to put cinema over mere storytelling.

Uprising is more fascinating in the buildup, anyway, presenting a pre-gay rights world of such thorough ostracization it seems like science-fiction. The subjects keep offering small and sometimes darkly amusing tidbits: police ambushing people in public bathrooms; people would fuck in meat trucks after hours, amidst foul stenches; and gay bars wound up funded, largely, by the mafia, who’d charge steep prices for stolen hooch. Uprising could stand to be deeper; it never goes into today’s gay rights, and it too briefly touches on the pros and cons of violent protest.

But for a film that’s mostly surface-level, there’s a lot on the surface.

symptomatic of the film’s creative vacuum.

Repartnered with the man with whom she shared a freaky, Monkees-backed sex scene in Vanilla Sky, Cameron Diaz plays a babeish auto mechanic who catches the eye of Cruise’s mysterious rogue. The two share some uninspired chit-chat on an underpopulated plane ride; when she goes to the bathroom, he kills everyone on board, pilots included. Eccentric psychopath who may leap on couches, or superspy nobly defending a newfangled mega-battery invented by a possibly autistic boy genius (Paul Dano)?

Either way, he drags a perpetually whinnying Diaz on a massive globetrot that’s part Bond film, part Grosse Pointe Blank, part Mr. and Mrs. Smith, all derivative.

Knight and Day can boast this, at least: It’s not Killers, the month’s other wildly overbudgeted gun-toting rom-com. What it lacks in inspiration it makes up for in a consistently light tone. No one’s trying very hard, and in the case of goodie-whomay-really-be-a-baddie Peter Sarsgaard, they’re not trying at all. (Cruise, meanwhile, spends the entire film smiling.)

The copious twists and action scenes are reliably goofy, even if they feel more like some exec’s idea of wackiness. (Ooh, a car chase during a running of the bulls!)

Every now and then traces of true wit pop up. In one sequence, Cruise drugs Diaz, and she keeps fading in and out, awake long enough to see that they’re in a dangerous situation but not long enough to see the death-defying way Cruise gets them out of it. It’s a clever idea, reminiscent of the hilarious missing reels in Grindhouse . But why is it only theoretically funny and not viscerally funny? It could be timing, which is always slightly off in Knight and Day. But it’s also the writing, which is never more than pedestrian and whose dialogue never approaches sparkling or memorable. A $95 million budget and they couldn’t afford a dialogue punchup by Bruce Vilanch? n

Stonewall Uprising

BETTYE LANE

James Cameron is referred to, often pejoratively, as a “maximalist.” But the art house has its maximalists, too. They may not make films full of explosions and rugged Smurfs, but they’re similarly drunk on what movies can do, or what they can do with movies. Historically, they’ve been directors like Fellini and Resnais, styleover-substance types who make art that could only be done as cinema. Today, it’s the likes of Arnaud Desplechin (Kings and Queen), who stuffs his films silly with characters, references and striking stylistic gambits; and Patrice Chéreau, who, when he isn’t making bombastic bugfucks like Gabrielle, directs opera. These filmmakers restlessly, and often recklessly, play with the language of cinema, creating new tricks as transportive, in their own way, as Cameron’s 3-D. Luca Guadagnino clearly wishes he was one of them.

The Italian filmmaker stages his earthquaking breakthrough with I Am Love, and the title’s only the fifth or so most overheated aspect of it. Tilda Swinton, a Guadagnino regular, headlines as the sartorially perfect Russian wife of the son of a wealthy Italian industrialist. Neglected and empowered by her daughter’s recent coming-out, she gives herself over to Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini), the strapping chef friend of her son. His dish of prawns and ratatouille—much like the meal served to Peter O’Toole’s ossified food critic in Ratatouille—rocks her palate and world. Soon, in the great outdoors of sun-drenched Sanremo, the two are mak-

ing the beast with two backs, so in tune with nature that the wind picks up right as the two near climax.

Guadagnino wears his influences on his sleeve: He’s Douglas Sirk meets Luchino Visconti, with stray bits lifted from Desplechin. (The driving score by minimalist composer John Adams completes the film’s self-conscious self-image of all-caps ART.) But the appropriations are skindeep. However baroque their tear-jerkers, Sirk and Visconti deftly sneaked in true insight and even satire. The story of I Am Love, though, is dime-store melodrama, its excoriation of the upper class superficial to nonexistent.

What’s more, its most nakedly cinematic passages are less full-tilt boogie delirium than derivative kitsch (see: aforementioned grassy fuckfest). Honestly, I Am Love only cooks in fits and starts and only hits the rafters at its most calm: Swinton takes a long, quiet stroll, sensually caressing foliage, an otherworldly walk that ends in a left-field, out-of-focus embrace. This sequence—plus Swinton doing beautifully in a rare recognizably human role—are strong; the rest isn’t nearly insane enough.

we know as Miller (Tom Cruise) is really named Knight. Besides, who doesn’t love a teeth-grindingly awful pun? Still, better a bad joke than the shrug-worthy titles it’s gone under (All New Enemies, Trouble Man, Wichita, Untitled Joint Comeback Vehicle for Two Fading Megastars). Not to make too much out of a mere title snafu, but the inability to come up with a coherent name is

Sparked the Gay Revolution—is a first-rate example of this noxious kind of documentary. You could always read Carter’s book and learn far more than you do from Kate Davis and David Heilbroner’s film. But if a superficial understanding is all you desire, then you likely can’t do better than Stonewall Uprising.

The story, often told: In the wee hours of a summer night in 1969, patrons of the Village’s Stonewall Inn, a well-known gay bar, finally had had it up to here with the all-too-common raids on homosexual nightspots, and on homosexual activity in general. Spurred on by the civil rights movement, they fought back, causing several nights’ worth of mayhem and turning the gay rights movement into something concrete and monstrously effective.

There have been plenty of docs (and books and fiction movies, etc.) about the riots, though few as comprehensive as Stonewall Uprising. The collection of talking heads is culled from all angles, including one of the NYPD’s “morals officers,” who was shitting his pants the first night of the riots. Aesthetically, the filmmaking is close to modern-day PBS (where the film

Savage Love

M

y friend is a gay-identified FTM. He’s hot, he’s cute, and above the waist, you would never guess what he’s got down below. We love to kiss and cuddle, and from my end, his blowjobs are great. The problem is that I have no idea how to reciprocate. He isn’t into anal (why would he be, without a prostate?), there’s no cock for me to suck, and what he does have down below doesn’t interest either of us.

Do you have any ideas on how I could turn him on and get him off? It’s starting to frustrate me.

Getting bottom work done is a long way off with the current finances.

SenT FroM THe SavaGe Love app For IpHone

“Your FTM partner has to become comfortable with his own body before you can attempt to satisfy him sexually,” says Buck Angel, transsexual FTM porn star, aka “the man with a pussy.”

“Your partner will need to share with you what his needs are,” says Buck. “Nobody should be expected to guess at what his partner wants.

Communication is important, regardless of gender or sexuality.”

I agree 100 percent with Buck—what he said, as they say—but rereading your letter, SFTSLAFI, I’m thinking there’s a chance your FTM partner is comfortable with his body but he’s painfully aware that you are not. Up to a certain point, that’s understandable: You’re a gay guy, not a bi guy, pussy isn’t your thing, etc.

But there’s a point at which your aversion to pussy—his pussy—becomes unacceptable.

And you know what? If you’re accepting regular blowjobs from this guy, SFTSLAFI, then you’re well past that point.

Maybe it would help if you didn’t think of his pussy as pussy. All fetuses start out as girls—you were a girl once, SFTSLAFI—until the process of sex differentiation kicks in and “masculinizing hormones,” if they’re present, turn little girl fetuses into little boy fetuses, and little fetal pussies into little fetal cocks. So you know what your FTM boyfriend has down there? Pretty much all the same stuff you do.

His clit is analogous to the head of your cock, and his clit has a shaft just like your cock does.

He has ovaries for balls and a clitoral hood for a foreskin, and he’s got a piss slit down there somewhere, too.

Think of his pussy as a cock that’s still in the box it came in. It’s like a cock you got at Ikea— there’s some assembly required, SFTSLAFI, but you can assemble it only in your imagination.

Back to Buck: “Maybe you two should start playing with that part of his body together,” says Buck. “Perhaps you can try out some fun sex toys. Or maybe he can masturbate for you, and you will find that hot and want to jump in.”

What’s really important, though, is convincing your FTM boyfriend that you’re not going to freak out when you see him or touch him.

“That fear is why so many FTM guys have a problem dealing with their genitals,” says Buck.

“They are afraid of what other people will think or how they’ll react. Once you make him feel safe, then I would almost bet that your sex life will explode.

“Also, just because he doesn’t have a prostate, that isn’t the reason he doesn’t like anal,” continues Buck. “I know lots of FTM guys and women who love anal sex. In fact, many FTMs are into anal and don’t even want vaginal sex.”

You can check out Buck—you can check out all of Buck—at buckangel.com, where you can also order his porn, which you might find helpful, SFTSLAFI. “These guys should watch a Buck Angel film while having sex,” says Buck. “It’ll show him the way some FTMs like to get off and might make him see how hot having sex with an FTM is!”

I

’m a straight girl who hates all the slang terms for vagina. Cunt, twat, pussy—first’s too vulgar, second’s too awful, third’s too cute. and vajayjay? Too stupid. all the best sex-organ slang is reserved for men. It makes me sad.

SenT FroM My IpoD

Let’s just call ’em all cock then, shall we?

Your pussy, SFTSLAFI’s boyfriend’s pussy, Buck’s pussy—they’re all cocks in the boxes they came in.

I

’m a 26-year-old FTM who is interested in seeing what sex with gay men is like. although I have identified as heterosexual in the past, I do find something appealing in the idea of being appreciated sexually as a man by men who like men. I’m attractive, fit, over average height for a man, and passable— although I am quite slim and look like I’m about 17. I know that gay men find me attractive.

I’m often cruised, and men have told me that I am good-looking and have expressed interest in me. I’ve never had sex with a man. I don’t know what would be expected of me with the anatomy I’ve got. I’m worried that those interested in me would see me as a bottom, which simply isn’t the case. another worry is appearing so young. I take myself seriously intellectually—presently, I am thriving in medical school—and would like others to do the same. and all these worries presuppose that there are decent men out there who’d even be interested in my body in a respectful way.

Can you, as a gay man, tell me anything about the gay male community? I’d be grateful.

CurIouS abouT Gay enCounTerS, yep

The gay male community in a nutshell: There are some good guys out there, some OK guys, and lots and lots of assholes— pretty much the same as any other community—and there are definitely gay guys out there willing to go there with a cute FTM. (See the first letter in today’s column; also, see all the guys who’ve banged Buck in his movies.) To separate the good gays from the bad gays, CAGEY, you’ll have to use your best judgment, the same common sense and bullshit detectors you use with anyone else; to separate the gay guys who would be up for sleeping with a trans man, all you have to do is be upfront about who you are and what you’re after with the men who cruise you.

As for your youthful appearance: There will be some “good” guys who’ll cruise you and feel terrible about it—meaning, they’ll find you attractive and think, “No, no, no.

He’s way too young.” These guys will be hugely relieved when they learn you’re actually a 26-year-old med student.

Finally, CAGEY, don’t concern yourself with expectations. Just be open and honest about what you’ve got, equipment-wise, and what you’re interested in exploring, gay-wise. Not a bottom? Just say so. It’ll scare off the guys who want to top you, of course, but you don’t want to sleep with them anyway. I promise you that some of the gay guys who cruise you will be psyched to bottom for you—I’m assuming that you, a hetero-identified man up to now, already own at least one strap-on, right?—because it’ll be easier for them to deal with what you’ve got down there if you’re strapping on something they’re used to.
