In Honor of Movember, Here Are 5 Philly Mustaches

t was free professional razor shaves during Frankford Hall’s happy hour last Thursday. (“Shave the date,” the invite read.) And if you were a little nervous about all that, well, liter drafts were only $10—grow some beer muscles. But why the occasion? Movember, of course. For the entire month of November, men grow mustaches for a cause: prostate cancer. You know, the cancer that can cause erectile dysfunction, among other embarrassing symptoms that guys don’t really like to think about. “Mo Bros commit to growing a moustache for the 30 days of Movember, and in doing so become walking and talking billboards for the cause. The moustache is our ribbon, the symbol by which we generate conversations, awareness and raise funds for men’s health,” reads the official Movember website. We like causes. Especially when said causes don’t require too much effort. (Don’t shave = not too much effort.) So in honor of Movember—and a break from election coverage—here are five great Philly mustaches.

1. MIKE SCHMIDT, FORMER PHILLIE No list of sports, Philly sports, mustaches or Philly mustaches would be complete without a mention of Mike Schmidt (at right). I mean, you’ve seen those “Schmidt Happens” T-shirts, right? Dude played his first full season with the Phillies in 1973 (though he was brought up in ’72), and would stay with the team until 1989. In that time, he was a 12-time all-star, eight-time home-run champion, 10-time Gold Glove winner and three-time MVP. Since his retirement, he’s stayed around in baseball, working with the Phillies here and there, getting elected to the Hall of Fame in 1991 and later coaching a minor league Phillies affiliate. Now, apparently, he’s really into golf. Though not as full (or brown), he still sports the same upper-lip hair he began sporting in the mid’70s. 2. FRAN DUNPHY, TEMPLE BASKETBALL COACH When Dunphy shaved his mustache last December, it was very public and he was very proud. See, he’d made a deal with former Temple player Dionte Christmas: If the guy graduated, Dunphy would shave. He did, and he did. “It’s not a story about me,” Dunphy told the Inquirer at the time. “I’m just proud to be part of these guys’ lives. I’d do it once a year, by the way. I got a text from a former player who said, ‘I’m sure you hope he doesn’t go to grad school. Then what would you have to get rid of?’” 3. J. HAMPTON MOORE, FORMER PHILADELPHIA MAYOR In the 1920s, people weren’t just really worried about being on the verge of losing all their money; they also saw mustaches as incredibly masculine. Just take a look at any

old-timey movie. So, of course, it made sense that Philadelphia decided to elect Republican J. Hampton Moore as mayor in 1920. His facial hair aside, the dude had worked as a reporter for the Philadelphia Public Ledger and the Court Combination from 1881 to 1894, then had multiple jobs within city government thereafter. He would serve as mayor in a second nonconsecutive term, from 1932-1935, during the heart of the Depression. And if you can’t tell from the photo (below; Moore in center), taken at a homeless shelter, dude was quite the humanitarian. 4. THE GUYS FROM MUSTACHES FOR KIDS The aptly named Mustaches for Kids’ Philadelphia chapter (note: not the name of a child porn Internet ring taken from a Law & Order: SVU episode) has raised more than $1 million since its founding in 1999 for children’s charities. They grow mustaches for DonorsChoose. org, Make a Wish, San Francisco Legal Services for Children and the Children’s Hospiral of New Orleans. Taking place between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the growers collect money and hold a pageant for kids at the end. 5. ZACK STALBERG, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY Since coming on the job in 2005, Stalberg has become one of the most quoted personalities in Philly media, leading the charge against things like the city’s DROP pension debacle and Voter ID. When applicable, Seventy has led information campaigns on election ballot questions and has provided tools and resources on figuring the basics and complications of the local political arena. Dude’s got a ’stache we must salute. (Randy LoBasso)

Visiting My N.J. Hometown in the Wake of Sandy

8 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 7 - 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

Text and photos by Tara Murtha // tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com NION BEACH, N.J. — Union Beach sits on the edge of Raritan Bay in Monmouth County. On a clear day, you can look across the water and see the pale blue outline of New York. The town’s so small—not even 2 square miles—that it doesn’t have its own high school. It’s the kind of town where you can get a large original pie from Jerzee Boyz pizza shop for $7.99. When I grew up here, I knew everyone who sold you strawberry licorice laces and Big League Chew at Little League games. Parents didn’t worry about their kids riding their bikes alone to Carmen’s deli to buy hand-packed brown bags of Swedish fish. Friends’ parents were truck drivers, police dispatchers and bank tellers. Before Hurricane Sandy, the town consisted of approximately 2,700 houses. Since Hurricane Sandy, at least 100 homes are already completely gone—punched into smithereens by a wall of water that surged out of the bay—and many more will need to be demolished. Almost every home in the town is damaged. But attention is largely focused on New York and smashed-boardwalk Jersey tourist towns to the south—not small working-class communities like Union Beach. Michael Harriott, 62, emergency management coordinator for Union Beach, has lived here all of his life. He snorts when asked if the rumors are true that the president and governor will be here today. “We haven’t had the governor here,” he says. “They all fly over and then they take off.” The other rampant rumor is of missing people and deaths. Everyone has a number they’ve heard—“15 dead, 22 missing”—but no one has names. “We have no loss of life in Union Beach,” says Harriott. The police officials say the same, though a cop on the street told me that he heard about six deaths. Harriott says there were, however, many close calls. “We had people … going up into their attics to hide. You can imagine if we didn’t get there… there’s nowhere to go from there.” The town’s grade school was damaged so badly that students will be heading back to class at Holy Family School, the recently closed Catholic grammar school across the highway in Hazlet. A teacher who didn’t want to be identified said she heard that it could be three to six months before the school building re-opens. Harriott wonders how many families will even stick around.

“They said [the new school] might be set up in two weeks, but in two weeks you might not have people living in town,” says senior deputy of emergency management John Harriott, 57, who is Michael’s brother-in-law. “So how are you setting up school if you don’t have the kids living here?” Traffic lights are out for miles, stores are empty and the line for gas can be up to four hours long. People are waiting in line at Romeo’s pizza to buy hot meals—cash only— and shopping in Target for clothes and boots by flashlight. The top two-thirds of a small blue house that was ripped off its foundation sits in the weeds behind Scholer Park. On the other side of the park, the remnants of another house that used to be somewhere else lies in a crumpled heap; the roof rests like a paperback book on top of the pile of splintered boards. A house sits in the middle of Union Avenue. Water scraped the bricks off the facade of the Veterans Association building. The damage is worse closer to the shore. On these houses, spray-paint slashes means authorities have already searched for bodies. A red sticker means the house is condemned. Sets of concrete steps leading to nowhere mean the house has been tossed to another part of town or was washed out in the bay. The Harriotts are driving around trying to make sure that people don’t try to re-enter homes to salvage belongings without an official escort. They just caught a guy trying to reenter what’s left of a home on Brook Avenue, one of the worst hit. “If that collapses on him and nobody knows he’s in there, then what?” asks Harriott, before yelling out the window at the man, who told him he wanted to pick his microwave up from the curb before making a break for the house. The Harriotts have been working for four days on little sleep. They’ve been coordinating Red Cross meals coming in, and pulling shredded American flags from out of the rubble and storing them in the back of the truck so they can dispose of them “respectfully.” Between tasks, they drive around town checking in on friends and acquaintances. Bob and Maryann live just west of Florence Avenue, about four blocks from the water. “It was unreal. Remember in 1963?” says Bob. “That was Hurricane Donna. It was bad but still not as bad as this.” Bob and Maryann say they have no idea where to begin assessing the damage to their house. John Harriott says

Assessing the damage: Before Hurricane Sandy, Union Beach, N.J., consisted of about 2,700 houses. Now, at least 100 homes are completely gone, and many more will need to be demolished.

the town doesn’t know where to begin, either. “I have [taken] damage assessment [classes] for FEMA and the Red Cross,” says John. “I’ve been to school for it, and I [don’t] know where to start.” Over on Lorillard Avenue, Pat Klich is waiting for a FEMA representative. While she waits, she pulls the filthy wet remains of her belongings out of her house and makes a pile on the curb. Huge mounds of rugs, furniture and appliances spill into every street all over town. The garbage pile is almost bigger than the house. Despite being lifted off the foundation, the small house still has a poster of Justin Bieber’s face hanging on the front, a reminder of her three grand-daughters who used to live with her along with her husband and their daughter. Since the storm, the children have been staying with relatives in Pennsylvania. The Klich family has been here for 22 years. “This is my life,” Pat says through tears, gesturing at the pile of water-logged garbage. Her husband defied the township’s evacuation orders and stayed behind in the house. He ran upstairs when the seawater burst through the door, but then realized that he didn’t shut the gas off. “By the time I came back,” he says, “the rip tide was crazy.” The tide

yanked him out the door and threw him into a telephone pole across the street. “My back is killing me,” he says. “The water just came up. It was so fast.” Like many other residents, the Kliches heard that President Obama was here, or is coming. They say they haven’t seen a politician, a newspaper reporter or a disaster relief representative from the outside. The National Guard is there to deter looters. “Nothing’s being said about this town,” says Stacey Klich, 23, one of the Kliches’ daughters. “I know it’s a small town, but its good people.” “They’re only talking about the areas that bring in money,” says her sister, Jen. “I want to say something,” says Pat. “The cops in this town and the first responders in this town, are the bomb … they’re being kind to us, and not nasty. I just wanted to say that in case no one else does.” “We have more than some people, and we’re going to rebuild,” she adds. “Just someplace else. n

in philly ere’s what we love about food in Philadelphia: everything. No, seriously. From the street vendor’s commonest cheesesteak to the most subtly spiced French-Asian hybrid delicacy, it’s all good. But some of it? Some of it is awesome. So here are 50 suggestions for dishes, ranging from sophisticated to speedy, that you’ve just got to try—whether you’re in town for the day or here for keeps. by Brian Freedman, Nina Hoffmann, Sheena Lester, Anastasia Barbalios, Randy LoBasso, Tara Murtha & Stephen H. Segal

50 THINGS you must EAT in philly MEAT & FISH FRIED CHICKEN AT FEDERAL DONUTS

1219 S. Second St. 267.687.8258. federaldonuts.com Why it’s great: It’s a gusty move indeed to try to bring the heretofore niche glories of Korean fried chicken ($9–$17) to the masses, but that’s exactly what Federal Donuts has done here, and with gusto. Shattering skin, incomprehensibly moist flesh, and a use of spice unrivaled anywhere. What to have with it: Doughnuts, of course ($1.25–$2 each). OK, not with them, but afterward. And it doesn’t matter what kind, either: Indian cinnamon, Creamsicle, vanilla-lavender and more. They’re all hot, unexpectedly complex miracles.

BEER-BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS AT DANDELION

ROAST PORK AND ROAST DUCK NOODLE SOUP AT SANG KEE

238 N. 9th St. 215.925.7532. sangkeechinatown.com Why it’s great: The hangover remedy of choice for a generation of Philadelphians is as good today as it’s ever been. The honeysweet pork, the funky cuts of duck, the fat globules glistening atop the broth: It’s a better remedy for a rough night out or a cold winter afternoon than any over-thecounter medication. Cheaper, too. ($7.25) What to have with it: Hair of the dog: Beer. An ice-cold Tsingtao alongside this is perfect. So, too, is an accompanying dish of fried wontons.

TACOS AT TAQUERIA LA VERACRUZANA

908 Washington Ave. 215.465.1440. Why it’s great: It’s hard to find a better way to spend $6 than on these three soft-shell beauties. My go-to selection includes al pastor (with pineapple), casing-less chorizo

PIG’S HEAD AT ALLA SPINA

1410 Mt. Vernon St. 215.600.0017. allaspinaphilly.com Why it’s great: Because it’s a whole pig’s head, that’s why. Because all the little succulent bits and pieces that you usually don’t get a chance to chow on—the nubs behind the mandible, the tongue like a piece of candy, the pillowy, almost gamy eyeballs. And because with its glistening, taut skin, it’s a pork-lover’s fantasy come to life. What to have with it: Beer. Or lambrusco. Just make sure there are bubbles and enough acid or bitterness to slice through all that succulence.

CHEESESTEAK PRETZEL AT PHILLY PRETZEL FACTORY

1532 Sansom St., 215.569.3988, phillysoftpretzelfactory.com Why it’s great: If we were recommending, in and of themselves, those archetypal Philly street foods, the cheesesteak or pretzel—and we will soon—we’d send you elsewhere. But what if you want the sublime experience of having a hot, gooey Philly cheesesteak baked right goddamn inside your pretzel? Here’s a hint: You do. ($3.50) What to have with it: The Factory’s just a take-out counter, so pop a few doors down the block and pick up one of the city’s best milkshakes at 500 Degrees. Recommended: chocolate banana ($5.75) or dulche ($5.50).

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AT SBRAGA

440 S. Broad St. 215.735.1913. sbraga.com Why it’s great: Part of the new “breakfast at dinner” menu at Sbraga, this is reason enough to skip your real breakfast and hold out the 12 hours until dinnertime. The chicken itself is majestic—textbook crust, generous meat—but laid atop the waffle and dragged through the foie gras butter, it’s astounding. What to have with it: Spirits magician Anwar Morgan mixed up, tableside, a maple-bacon rye manhattan that echoed even more flavors of the breakfast table, and re-imagined one of the great cocktails in a wholly new, thoroughly exciting way.

LARDO PIZZA AT BARBUZZO

110 S. 13th St. 215.546.9300.

barbuzzo.com/barbuzzo Why it’s great: Anything with “lardo” in the name is OK by me, but this pie sails even beyond the majestically succulent heights its name implies. And while the combination of hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, taleggio, rosemary and artichoke is near perfect, it’s the lardo cured in-house that blasts it all into the stratosphere. ($14) What to have with it: A brightly acidic red wine or, perhaps even better, a hoppy beer to cut through those pieces of lardo.

BONE MARROW AT BIBOU

1009 S. 8th St. 215.965.8290. biboubyob.com Why it’s great: Sauteed with homemade breadcrumbs, a gorgeous selection of mushrooms that changes regularly, shallots, garlic, parsley and heaping portion of love, this bone-canoe plating is toe-curlingly delicious. If there’s one dish in the city worth demolishing your cholesterol count for, this is it. ($24) What to have with it: Wine, wine and more wine. (Bibou is a BYOB.) There are a number of directions you could go with this dish: A crisp white to cut through the food’s richness, an earthy red to pair with it, or a glass of Champagne, which to me seems just about the perfect choice.

ANY BURGER AT PUB & KITCHEN

1946 Lombard St. 215.545.0350. thepubandkitchen.com Why they’re great: The burgers here are reliably among the best in the city. And unlike so many others, these are all about the quality of the beef, not necessarily the baroque-ness of the toppings. What to have with them: It’s a tough call here, but you can’t go wrong with a perfectly poured beer from their always interesting selection, or—and I’m generally not really a big proponent of cocktails with dinner—a barrel-aged manhattan, which really is that spectacular.

CRABFRIES AT CHICKIE’S & PETE’S

Various locations. chickiesandpetes.com Why it’s great: French fries with a chokeworthy helping of Old Bay seasoning can be found masquerading as Crabfries® on many menus around town, but the trademarked original lives at Chickie’s & Pete’s. Each basket of crispy-yet-soft deepfried potatoes is bathed in a secret blend of delicious spices that stick to every nook and cranny of the crinkly-cut fries. Once it was served with only one measly cup of their pour-it-all-over-anything-you-order white

cheese sauce, but the owners have finally come to their senses and doubled up the helping with each order. You’re welcome. What to have with it: Who cares? TWO servings of cheese sauce!

EL RANCHERO AT SAZON

941 Spring Garden St. 215.763.2500. sazonrestaurant.com Why it’s great: It’s not just that this Mexican-style scramble is appealing to carnivores and veggie lovers alike, loaded with spicy chorizo, red and green peppers, jalapeños, onions and tomatoes. The real draw at this delightful Venezuelen BYOB is the quality of the ingredients. Chef Judith Suzarra-Campbell cooks exclusively with olive oil, locally raised free-range eggs, local dairy and produce, and has an extensive corn-based gluten-free menu. ($11.) What to have with it: A mug of drinking chocolate made by Judy’s husband Bob, the “chocolate alchemist.” Try the Clasico (with five different cacao beans) or El Orgasmo (come to me, peanut butter, Kahlua and fresh banana). (Prices vary.)

CHARBROILED PORK BANH MI AT PHO CALI

1000 Arch St. 215.629.1888. Why it’s great: The price of these forearmlong sandwiches recently went up ... to still less than $5. For that almost inconceivably low number, you get a generous helping of sweet-smoky pork, crisp pickled vegetables, and a bun toasted so perfectly that the crumb is still moist inside the wafer-thin warmth of the crust. What to have with it: Sriracha. Not too much, of course, but a generous squiggle will set up the other flavors nicely.

BRAISED CHICKEN AND BISCUITS WITH HERBS AT THE MILDRED

824 S. Eighth St. 267.687.1600. the-mildred.com Why it’s great: For $8, what you get is a filling, hearty cast-iron skillet of poultry love, replete with biscuits of greater soulfulness than most ever achieve. More, please! What to have with it: A beer would be great, but a glass of amontillado or oloroso sherry, or even a slightly oxidized-tasting white, would be perfect. (Note: Brian Freedman consulted on the beverage program at The Mildred.) And make sure you get a basket of homemade bread to sop up all the wonderful leftovers sticking to the bottom of the dish.

THE CATALAN EXPRESS LUNCH AT AMADA

217-219 Chestnut St. 215.625.2450. amadarestaurant.com

p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m I N o v e m b e r 7 - 1 3 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y 1 1

124 S. 18th St. 215.558.2500. thedandelionpub.com Why it’s great: In a world where so many versions of this English classic are flaccid and vaguely depressing, Dandelion’s Chatham cod is meaty and perfectly crunchy, and the fries—well, they are what all potatoes wish to become when they die. ($19.50) What to have with it: A beer, preferably one of the hand-pumped casks here. Cellartemperature ale with a great plate of fish and chips is one of the top pairings in the world.

with its oil glistening at the surface, and jalapeño rellenos, whose queso fresco filling is almost—but not quite—enough to balance out the heat of that pepper. What to have with it: Jarritos Tamarindo soda, and an order of the silky guacamole with just-oily-enough tortilla chips.

50 THINGS you must EAT in philly Why it’s great: Not only is the price right—$14.50 for soup and either a sandwich or salad, plus an iced tea or soda—but the options are more than generous. I love the skirt steak pepito sandwich with Cabrales cheese and gorgeously caramelized onions preceded by caldo gallego, a Galician stew of ham and beans. What to have with it: It may not be included, but since you’re saving so much money on the lunch itself, spring for a class of wine, preferably something crisp and refreshing, to wash it all down. Just because it’s midday doesn’t mean a drink is verboten.

HONEY DEAN SAUSAGE AT HONEY’S SIT ‘N EAT

800 N. 4th St. 215.925.1150. honeyssitneat.com Why it’s great: There’s no shortage of great ground-meat products in this city, but this one ($3) is consistently one of the best. It’s an innocent-looking patty that packs a serious punch, the honey sweetness balanced out by a gentle spicy tingle. Dragged through a fried egg’s yolk at breakfast, it’s possibly the simplest, most heartfelt forkful you’ll eat all day. What to have with it: The potato latke ($2.50), a fried wedge of crispety-crunchety carbolicious goodness.

1 2 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 7 - 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

CHINESE FIVE SPICED PEKING DUCK BREAST AT BISTRO 7

7 N. 3rd St. 215.931.1560. bistro7restaurant.com Why it’s great: There’s a reason that Chef Michael O’Halloran’s Old City standout has been around for so long: Because it’s so consistently, remarkably good. And this dish embodies much of what makes it so: Generous seasoning, perfect cooking temps and the kind of complex flavor that keep you coming back for far more bites than you probably really need. ($32) What to have with it: Find a bottle of good Pinot Noir, or a Bordeaux with a couple of years of age to it, pop the corks, and don’t get up till your plate is clean and the bottle is empty.

BEER BRINED PORK LOIN AT PROHIBITION TAPROOM

501 N. 13th St. 215.238.1818. theprohibitiontaproom.com Why it’s great: If there was a zombie aporkalypse—we know, the thought of a post-bacon world is just too much to bear—you’d better damn well try to find this sammich before it’s too late. The combination of the serrano chili spread (yes, it’s spicy, go with it), caramelized onions,

aged cheddar and a side of jus makes this, in our opinion, the best, most creative and most filling sandwich in town. ($11) What to have with it: One of the many interesting and delicious beers on Prohibition’s ever-rotating tap.

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIB AT R2L

50 S. 16th St. 215.564.5337. r2lrestaurant.com Why it’s great: Chef Daniel Stern’s smart twists on classic dishes result in some of the most lusty, delicious meat courses in town. This one is as rib-sticking and soulsatisfying as any of them. ($32) What to have with it: A glass of rich red wine, preferably at sunset—the restaurant, on the 37th floor of Two Liberty Place, offers some of the most stunning views in Philadelphia.

ANY PLATTER AT LITTLE DELICIOUS

4821 Woodland Ave. 215.729.4911 Why it’s great: ’Cause, dammit, any time you can get this much sure-to-satisfy Jamaican food, you eat, not ask questions. The chicken—either jerk, curry or stew—is fall-off-the-bone tender, the goat and oxtail so succulent, you’ll cry; all of it with sauce for days, enough to nicely coat your rice and peas and spicily flavor whatever other sides you were wise enough to choose. A large platter ($10 to $12) will feed two people, unless one of you’s extra greedy. What to have with it: Ice-cold ginger beer, of course, or one of their specialty punches, like peanut, pineapple or sorrel.

SHRIMP PIL PIL AT DMITRI’S

795 S. Third St. / 2227 Pine St. / 944 N. Second St. dmitrisrestaurant.com Why it’s great: I transform into that crazy old man at the corner diner when I enter Dmitri’s, ordering the same exact dishes every time, taking note if anything has changed. Sauteed crisp with just enough spice to cool down with a chunk of feta or pita, the shrimp pil pil means warm cozy homey-ness on a chilly night in Philly. ($12) What to have with it: Greek salad with greens ($8.50), octopus ($12), hummus ($7.50).

FOIE GRAS AT LE BEC FIN

1523 Walnut St. 215.567.1000. lebecfin.com Why it’s great: The preparation changes, but the kitchen’s aptitude with this most maligned ingredient is second to none. I recently enjoyed it seared, and its tightrope walk between sweet and earthy, between snappy and unctuous, was worthy of the Cirque du Soleil. Amazing, really. (Part of the

prix fixe menu) What to have with it: Wine, preferably sweet, preferably French. And if you have the chance to enjoy it with a Sauternes, jump at it.

BONCHON KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN AT CAFE SOHO

468 W. Cheltenham Ave. 215.224.6800. Why it’s great: Few things in life justify a long car ride with more payoff than great fried chicken. Cafe SoHo is no different. It’s about a 20-minute ride from Old City and 25 from Center City, and worth every gallon of gas it takes. The skin is a marvel of delicacy, and the garlic soy version will rock your world like Axl Rose did back in 1992. What to have with it: More chicken. I’m reluctant to recommend eating anything else here, because it’ll take up valuable chicken room in your stomach. And that would be a crime.

SPICY RUB TUNA AT VERDAD

818 West Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr. 610.520.9100. verdadrestaurant.com Why it’s great: Forty-nine of the items on this list are from within Philadelphia’s city limits. We’re cheating this one because, Bryn Mawr or not, Verdad’s tapas are just that good. The spicy tuna rub is a perfect example, with avocado, tomato and red onion lending not just flavor but aesthetic beauty. What to have with it: Kobe beef tacos, featuring ground wagyu, queso, figs, jalapeño and pico, are out of this world ($10).

FRIED RICE WITH KING CRAB MEAT AT CHABAA THAI

4371 Main St. 215.483.1979. chabaathai.com Why it’s great: Jasmine rice, fresh cucumbers and cilantro bring a sparkling lightness to one of Chef Moon Krapugthong’s signature seafood dishes. Manayunk might be more popularly known as a weekend beerdrinking ‘hood, but Chabaa Thai’s elegant dining room is a quiet treasure. ($18) What to have with it: Go classic: crispy vegetable spring rolls ($5) and a Thai iced tea.

CHEESESTEAK AT PHILIP’S STEAKS

2234 West Passyunk Ave. 215.755.4820 Why it’s great: Any tourists reading? OK, so here’s what you ought to know: We don’t go to Pat’s or Geno’s. Not regularly, anyway— those are the designated out-of-towner magnets. There are lots of great local cheesesteak joints, and frankly, the $5 offerings by the street cart vendors are among the most reliable—but if we’re to pick a steakmonger with real South Philly cred, it’s Philip’s: soft Italian roll, foot-long, terrific sliced ribeye.

What to have with it: A root beer and this week’s new Spider-Man comics. Or maybe that’s just us.

VEGGIE ETC. SPICY CRISPY CUCUMBER AT HAN DYNASTY 108 Chestnut St. 215.922.1888. handynasty.net Why it’s great: After all the (literal) fireworks of the spice heat from so much of the rest of the menu, these red-glistening cucumbers find the perfect balance between hot and soothing. They serve as respite and focal point in equal measure— not bad for $6.95. What to have with it: My personal go-to is the dry pepper chicken ($13.95)—crispy, crunchy, and studded with ginger and garlic—but the pickled vegetable and pork soup ($6.95) also works beautifully. Mainly, though, have it with a beer—crisp, bright and not too high in alcohol.

MALAI KOFTA AT TIFFIN 710 W. Girard Ave. 215.922.1297. tiffin.com Why it’s great: Not every Indian menu features these sweet dumplings, made from vegetable dough, nuts and raisins. Tiffin serves them in a heavenly, creamy cashew sauce, abundant enough that you can also dip your naan aplenty while wondering if you’re eating dinner or dessert. ($12.) What to have with it: If you’re eating the malai kofta as your main course, pair it with a less-rich appetizer, such as the onion bhaji (onions/potato/spinach fritters, $3.50). Or, if you need some meat in your meal, share the malai kofta as a side dish to your mirchi tikka (spicy BBQ chicken cubes with green chilies, $14).

TOASTS AT VERNICK FOOD & DRINK 2031 Walnut St. 267.639.6644. vernickphilly.com Why they’re great: What seem so simple on paper become little tours de forces of flavor and technical accomplishment. There are half a dozen options to choose from, but the veg-friendly ones, like fromage blanc with pickled cherries, or charred spinach and leeks, are just remarkable. ($6–$14) What to have with them: Use these as starter courses while you’re perusing the rest of the fantastically appealing menu. From sea to land, this is a restaurant whose already delicious-sounding menu is actually even more impressive once you start eating.

50 THINGS you must EAT in philly VEGETARIAN CHEESESTEAK WRAP AT SOY CAFÉ

630 N. 2nd St. 215-922-1003 Why it’s great: You know what the worst part about being a vegetarian is? All the fake meat. Everyone says their meat tastes like authentic cheesesteak, and they’re. All. LIARS. Except the Soy Café. They’ve got a meat-free cheesesteak wrap—on your choice of wheat, veggie or sun-dried tomato flavor wrap, packed with veggies and a tangy, spicy soy-based mayonnaise— which drips with grease and tastes like it’s really bad for you. ($7.50) What to have with it: Vitamin Water. Both make you feel like you’re doing something healthy when you’re not.

1 4 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 7 - 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

THE CHEESE PLATES AT TALULA’S GARDEN

210 W. Washington Sq. 215.592.7787. talulasgarden.com What makes it great: Aimee Olexy is justifiably renowned for her knowledge of and passion for cheese. At her Washington Square restaurant, an ever-changing rotation of cheese plates includes selections both familiar and exotic. ($5 each or $16–$20 for plates) What to have with it: The cheesemongers at the Garden are some of the best in town, and their selection of house-crafted accompaniments—candied nuts, jams and chutneys—accomplish the impossible: making great cheese taste even better than it already does. (Accompaniments included.)

INDIAN RED LOPEZ GUACAMOLE AT EL VEZ

121 S. 13th St. 215.928.9800. elvezrestaurant.com Why it’s great: Do you think the chefs at El Vez look at avocados and say, “Man, the things I’d do to you …”? Because, seriously, this place clearly respects and loves guacamole. For one, it offers seven different preparations. The traditional El Vez ($13) easily impresses, but the Red Lopez takes guac lovers to places they’ve never been. First of all, and actually second of all, it’s got spicy crab in it. Fresh pieces of lump crab. OMG. ($17.) What to have with it: Either the Macho Nachos (with steak, $11.5) or the Nacho Mamma (no meat, $9). Wash it all down with a frozen blood orange margarita. Yeah, yeah, winter’s coming, but watch how fast this thing warms you up. ($9 for a glass; $36 for a pitcher.)

ALOO AUR PAPRI CHAT AT EKTA

250 E. Girard Ave. 215.426.2277. ektaindianrestaurant.com

What it’s great: I don’t know how they do it, but even a delivery aloo aur papri chat from Ekta keeps its composure: The lentil wafers stay crunchy, the tamarind and yogurt fail to soggify everything else, and the potato cubes and chickpeas remain cool and toothsome. ($4.99.) As for the flavor, it’s a tangy-sweet-and-sour wonder, a perfect app for two, and a great partner to an IPA. What to have with it: Follow up this chaat with an order of creamy, dusk-colored butter chicken ($13.99) or an unexpectedly spicy version of saag aur paneer ($11.99).

BAKED BEANS AT BLUE BELLY BBQ

600 Catherine St. 215.238.0615. bluebellybbq.com Why it’s great: Unlike the one-note sweetness of the beans at so many BBQ joints, these are complicated by an ethereal swirl of smoke and studded with fennel seeds for perfume. ($4) What to have with it: The St. Louis-style ribs ($16), their dry rub charred at the edges from the flame of the grill. Or any of the sandwiches on the menu. Also a side of red slaw. Followed by Maalox and a nap ... just like all great BBQ requires.

PICKLES AT STATESIDE

1536 E. Passyunk Ave. 215.551.2500. statesidephilly.com Why they’re great: Philly is a city that’s really embraced with whole artisanal pickle thing, and few restaurants have done so with more vinegary gusto than Stateside, whose selection ranges from beets to carrots and beyond. Each is a perfect little example of creatively spiced snack heaven. ($4) What to have with them: The foie gras terrine ($15) wraps its richness around the pickles’ high-toned vinegar like a Snuggie, but the Amish chicken breast ($21) is also a nice option, a great example of the heights that comfort food can achieve.

BLACK BEAN TACOS AT CANTINA DOS SEGUNDOS

931 N. 2nd St. 215-629-0500. cantinadossegundos.com Why it’s great: Dos Segundos’ daily menu features 11 options for tacos, burritos or chimichangas, three of which—black bean, vegan beef and vegetable—are great for vegetarians. The black beans slipped between the small double-stacked corn tortillas have only a slight Mexican flavor, if any. But the toppings take it home: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, jalepenos, sour cream, guacamole and whatever hot sauce

the wait staff stuck on your table. ($8 plus toppings) What to have with it: A Kenzinger. Tacos and beer go pretty well together. Might as well make it a good one.

SHEEP’S MILK RICOTTA AT PIZZERIA STELLA

420 S. 2nd St. 215.320.8000. starr-restaurant.com/stella Why it’s great: It arrives looking simple enough: A snowy mound of cheese and a plate of innocent flatbreads. But then you dip the chewy, rosemary-perfumed bread into that ricotta, itself as light and delicate as cheese gets. The creaminess wraps around your tongue. The rosemary lingers. You’re addicted: Don’t bother fighting it. ($10) What to have with it: A glass of Verdicchio ($8) and an hour of time to enjoy this at a sidewalk table.

HUMMUS AT ZAHAV

237 St. James Place. 215.625.8800. zahavrestaurant.com Why it’s great: Because the selection of hummus here ($8 or $12) will forever make you rethink the supposedly humble chickpea. Try them all: With warm favas, with tehina, with garlic and butter. You’ll never be able to go back to the storebought stuff again. What to have with it: The hummus here is a great start to any meal, no matter what it consists of. Personally, I love to follow it up with something on the meaty end of the spectrum, like merguez with shallots, figs and cilantro ($12).

VEGGIE BURGER AT NATIONAL MECHANICS

22 S. Third St. 215.701.4883. nationalmechanics.com Why it’s great: National Mechanics doesn’t slip you weak-ass faux meat—they serve up a burger that’s proud to be made of julienned veggies. It’s solid, it’s robust, it’s freaking tasty, and it comes alongside a heap of steak fries. ($9) What to have with it: The hummus plate ($8) and a Guinness, or whatever rotating craft beer on tap comes recommended.

TONNARELLI CACIO E PEPE AT AMIS

412 S. 13th St. 215.732.2647. amisphilly.com Why it’s great: Classic Italian cooking is predicated on simplicity and great ingredients. This pasta dish ($14) embodies that impeccably. And while it really is as straightforward as the name implies—pasta with pecorino and pepper—the interaction

of each with the others lifts this seemingly humble plate of noodles to levels of flavor that even most steaks rarely achieve. What to have with it: Ask your waiter or sommelier to pair a wine that you’ve never heard of before, from a grape variety that means nothing to you and from a region that may as well be on the moon. The combination and sense of discovery will be phenomenal.

RADICCHIO PIE AT PITRUCO PIZZA

33rd & Arch or 10th & Fitzwater (check Twitter @pitrucopizza for locations). 484.602.5454. pitrucopizza.com Why it’s great: It takes guts to rig up a pizza oven to the back of a truck. Even more to try to turn out great pies (which Pitruco does). But to serve up one with braised radicchio, reduced balsamic, wild mushrooms and a perfect hit of parmesan and mozzarella, and have it be one of the top pies in town? That’s little short of alchemy. ($9) What to have with it: Your beverage choices are fairly limited here, but Pitruco sells one of my favorite carbonated ones around: San Pellegrino Chinotto, a bitter, citrusy drink that more Philadelphians should be enjoying.

DESSERT CHEESECAKE AT VEDGE

1221 Locust St. 215.320.7500. vedgerestaurant.com Why it’s great: So many reasons. It’s dense and light and not too sweet. Its crust informs the flavor of each bite without overwhelming it. And it’s vegan, which both boggles the mind and reaffirms our collective faith, like so much else at this remarkable restaurant, that vegan food can be truly game-changing. ($9) What to have with it: A cup of coffee, followed by an after-dinner drink from the excellent selection that’s been assembled here. Because believe it or not, you’ll be full and satisfied at the end of your meal here, and a sip to settle it all down is a good idea.

JEAN’S ROAD TRIP CUPCAKE AT BROWN BETTY DESSERT BOUTIQUE

Various locations. brownbettydesserts.com Why it’s great: The cupcake craze doesn’t seem to be slowing down. And yet so many red velvets we’ve tried in this town—we won’t name names—have just been too dry. Obviously, Brown Betty has a secret recipe

with all the right ingredients. First, crack. No, no, the Road Trip is simpler than that: a moist red velvet base with a cream cheese buttercream frosting. Key word: moist.

237 St. James Place. 215.625.8800. zahavrestaurant.com Why it’s great: Halva, like most Middle Eastern and Indian desserts, isn’t necessarily a widely appreciated sweettooth satiation. Chickpeas, too, probably wouldn’t come to mind for an after-dinner treat. Yet these are the two ingredients that make this dessert sing. Normally dense and pasty, halva is transformed here into a light and airy mousse, complemented by delicate chickpea pralines. Served in a glass like a parfait, the result is an incredible layering of flavors and textures that will leave you wondering what America’s fascination with chocolate is all about. ($8) What to have with it: A New Year’s Jerusalem Cocktail, with apple cider, walnut and sparkling wine. ($10.)

s’Mores Deluxe Cookie at insoMnia Cookies

Various locations. 877.632.6654. insomniacookies.com Why it’s great: Here’s the thing about cookies: The traditional chocolate chip is as dull as the newfangled flavors are ridiculous. (Bacon cookies? Really? Is it still 2006?) Insomia Cookies finds the sweet spot: The S’mores Deluxe is a warm, gooey chocolate disc with hunks of chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallow—crispy on the outside but perfectly underdone in the center. Bonus: Insomnia delivers all across town till 3 a.m. ($2.50) What to have with it: A huge scoop of Basset’s vanilla ice cream and a container of milk ($2.25).

sweet potato pie at lawrenCe Bakery

423 W. Girard Ave. 215.232.0638 Why it’s great: It’s sweet potato pie, for crissakes. But better than that, it’s the kind of buttery, vanilla- and cinnamon-laden treat that, if you’re lucky, Big Mama makes by the half-dozen during the holidays. Lawrence not only sells ’em by the pie— and boy, do they go quickly—but also by the quarter, the perfect slice to chase off the munchies. What to have with it: Coffee you picked up on the way. It isn’t a sit-and-eat kind of spot.

CHoColate MalteD pot De CrèMe at Bistro 7

A Portion of the Proceeds go to City of Hope and Philabundance

Want to be a vendor at Taste? Please call 215-599-7644.

7 N. Third St. 215.931.1560. bistro7restaurant.com

Why it’s great: It’s the crème de la crème of pot de crèmes in this town and a menu staple ever since the doors first opened. The key is in the combination of bittersweet chocolate and slightly nutty malt sweetener, coaxed into silky smoothness over three hours in a stovetop water bath. Confection perfection. ($8) What to have with it: Stopped in just for a romantic dessert? Have your s.o. share the Pierre Robert: French triple cream with ginger-plum jam, pine nut brittle and local honeycomb ($15).

Dark CHoColate CHip Cookie DougH panCakes at MaratHon grill

16th & Sansom sts. / 19th & Market sts. /19th & Spruce sts. / eatmarathon.com Why it’s great: Three fluffy, buttery pancakes the size of your face are stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough and topped with powdered sugar and whipped cream. Each dense bite creates a chocolate explosion in your mouth. ($8.50) What to have with it: Two slices of crispy Applewood bacon ($2.75) create the perfect combination of salty and sweet.

stoCk Market CrunCH sunDae at Franklin Fountain

116 Market St. 215.627.1899. franklinfountain.com Why it’s great: I’ve yet to have a non-great sundae at this Old City stalwart, but this is my go-to: Rocky road ice cream, pretzel bits, PB sauce, and as much love as you can enjoy with a spoon. What to have with it: Absolutely nothing: Everything is already there.

aDult MilksHakes at trolley Car Diner

FOUR HOT MEN AND AN OLD LADY

SHARP Dance Company will debut two nights of new material in Four Hot Men and an Old Lady. While Diane Sharp-Nachsin, SHARP’s artistic director, is hardly old, the four men in question are definitely hot. Steven Vaughn (Parsons Dance Company); Charles Tyson (Underground Danceworks); Kevin Ferguson (Doug Elkins Dance Company); and Joe Cotler (Koresh Dance Company) have choreographed new works for this home season performance. SharpNachsin will debut a piece called White Rabbit, which will be part of Aquarian Exposition: A Trip Back to the Original Woodstock in this spring’s Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts. Eight dancers will bring these unique pieces to life at the beloved Painted Bride. This is a showcase that is not to be missed, if not for the dance, then definitely for the hot men.

Kicking off a month-long comedy extravaganza, the Philly Improv Festival returns for its eighth year, hosting five consecutive nights of shows featuring a mix of Philly’s best improvisational talents, as well as several out-of-town acts from some of the most distinguished comedy institutions in the country. Split between two shows, tonight’s lineup includes Philly Improv Theater house teams Hot Dish and Davenger, along with local indie troupes Rintersplit, Neilson and Beauty School Dropouts, a female trio from Toronto. You’ll also get to sit in on a hilariously awkward first date, compliments of local group Chaperone. Should you like what you see, you’ll have plenty of chances to see more of it. Headlining the festival on Saturday is Austin-based troupe Live Nude Improv, which incorporates a bit of bare flesh into its spur-of-the-moment storytelling. NICOLE FINKBINER 7:30pm and 9pm.

MS. LAURYN HILL + NAS

Is she just eccentric or way ahead of her time? Call Ms. Lauryn Hill both. As the rapper/singer/actress heads to Philadelphia—her first appearance since ripping the Parkway as the best surprise on the Roots’ “Welcome America” stage on Independence Day—it’s hard to predict just which one you’ll get. The multiple Grammy winner parlayed success with the Fugees into international superstardom, then disappeared to raise her six children. Since then, her career track and public appearances have been erratic, but, as proven by her July 4th set, the magic that made 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is still strong. As for Nasir Jones, the rap star was in fine form at his recent Philly show on the Heineken Red Star Access tour, running through throwbacks and new joints with equal verve. From youngest in charge to mature elder statesman, Nas continues to move into hip-hop history with Life Is Good, one of the standout releases in a standout career. Expect a rare live duet from this dynamic duo on their 1996 hit collab “If I Ruled The World.” TONYA PENDLETON 8:30pm. $59.50-63. With Jhene Aiko. Electric Factory, 421 N.

TAME IMPALA

Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, the wonderfully named Tame Impala are a band on a mission, seemingly hell-bent on recreating a slice of the late ‘60s where speaker blowing, mind expanding, sun-kissed psyche-rock is the order of the day, and all is impossibly groovy with the world. Theirs is an internal universe where everything sounds better with a head full of hallucinogens, drums are looped and phased into infinity, and vast armies of guitars surge back and forth and sideways to agreeably disorientating effect. Of course, those of a more jaded disposition would be well within their rights to dismiss all of this tripped-out tomfoolery as little more than beautifully executed pastiche, but there’s so much raw, unbridled enthusiasm and saucer-eyed love contained within, that you’d be a cold hearted, utterly joyless cynic to remain immune to Tame Impala’s undeniable charms.

If he did nothing else, Chick Corea’s time playing with Miles Davis would forever cement his role in jazz history.

Having already used his Latin-based stylings to experiment with the avant-garde as a sideman and leader—including his excellent 1968 solo record Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, Corea spent the ‘70s continuing to journey into these new sounds with his crossover fusion group, Return To Forever. In 1972, he teamed up with vibraphonist Gary Burton for Crystal Silence, beginning decades of collaboration between the two. Their latest album is Hot House, featuring interpretations of songs by Dave Brubeck, Kurt Weill and the Beatles.

sleeper hit. Charming without being overly sentimental, Finn’s insightful and humorous score captures the determination and courage of the Spelling Bee’s awkward pre-pubescent competitors, and the outrageous behavior of the infantile adult judges who are forced to come to terms with the tragic realization that their best years are behind them. Director Bill Fennelly (who previously served as the resident director for the national tour of The Lion King) says the production benefits from having a relatively young cast. Whereas professional productions often cast adult actors in the show’s major roles, Fennelly feels that the Drexel cast’s youth is a big advantage both in terms of portraying the adolescent “spellers” and giving the production the sense of exuberance and optimism that Finn intends.

Unplug your Nooks and Kindles, check your coats and wash your hands, because today you’ll be handling rare vintage books at the Rosenbach museum’s “Besotted: Wine and Words” tour. Curator Patrick Rodgers will use the books you’re holding as platforms highlighting the multiple roles wine has played throughout history. Manuscripts dating back to 1732 will be ripe for the plucking off the Rosenbach’s mahogany shelves. Wine-stained pages of a 19th-century American haggadah are uncorked and given room to breathe. This versatile beverage appears in Shakespeare’s Henry IV as Falstaff ’s cup of sack; turns Keat’s mouth purple; makes him forget in Ode to a Nightingale; and doubles as both hero and villain in the scrapbook of satirist-turned-prohibitionist illustrator George Cruikshank.

ROBERT RANDOLPH AND THE FAMILY BAND

When the Orange, N.J.-born steel guitar virtuoso Robert Randolph brings his soul-stirred, swang/ twang sound to the Keswick Theatre, he’ll prove that you can take boy out of the South, but you can’t take the South out of the boy. At first blush, it seems odd: a northern brother playing that Grand Ole Opry-fied steel guitar, the kind of Dixie instrument you heard on Hee-Haw or on a NASCAR commercial. But if the banjo made the trip from Mother Africa to Appalachia, it should be no surprise to find a black man on the steel guitar. In Randolph’s case, his love affair with the instrument began when he played it as a teen in his church. Further inspired by the Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randolph transported the sonic citizenship of the instrument from below the Mason-Dixie Line to the north, where it speaks rock, soul, gospel, R&B and hip-hop with a syncopated southern accent. While amassing a number of genre-crossing, critically acclaimed CDs— including Colorblind, Unclassified and We Walk This Road—Randolph also enjoyed success opening for Eric Clapton and the Dave Matthews Band and as a sideman with Elton John, Ringo Starr and the jamband Soulive. When he and his Family Band do their thing, don’t be confused if the gig feels like a simultaneous juke joint and a Sunday morning

SHEPARD/BECKETT

InVersion Theatre opens its sophomore season with a quadruple header consisting of two short plays each from Samuel Beckett and Sam Shepard. At first glance, it may seem like an odd pairing putting the works of the rebellious rock ‘n’ roll scribe Shepard alongside Beckett, the leading experimental dramatist of the 20th century. InVersion artistic director William Steinberger, however, sees a number of similarities in the plays of the two pioneering playwrights. “Despite writing in such different milieus, both writers more than know their way around a joke,” says Steinberger. Simply titled Shepard/ Beckett, the evening of one-acts includes Shepard’s early plays Red Cross and Killers Head alongside Beckett’s Catastrophe and Footfalls. All four plays focus on characters trying to find some semblance of purpose in a bleak and often inexplicable world. Featuring a four-member ensemble playing multiple roles, the homegrown cast includes Will Thompson, Brian Ratcliffe, Lizzie Spellman and the excellent Hannah Gold. J. COOPER ROBB 8pm. $15.

ANI DIFRANCO

Though no re-creator, Ani Difranco is, clearly, well aware of the Guthrie-Seeger-Baez-Ochs tradition of politically engaged folk and blues that precedes

her. And in fact, it was a duet with Bruce Cockburn, a rendition of Pete Seeger’s famous “Which Side Are You On?” at the folk legend’s 90th birthday party, that led to the centerpiece (and title) of DiFranco’s latest album. Her fiery, updated-to-theminute version exoriates Reaganomics, predatory lenders and anti-feminists. “J” considers environmental catastrophe from a porch stoop with a view of the damage from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. All that said, though, the artist with the honeyed voice and stinging guitar is ultimately hopeful, positive and life-affirming. Her shows have the welcoming aura of revival meetings, with fans calling out favorite titles and asserting their love for the singer. Choosing sides? I’d stick with whatever one DiFranco’s on.

DIRTIEST SKETCH IN PHILADELPHIA COMPETITION

From bestiality to bodily fluids, nothing is off limits as the best sketch comics in town compete once again to deliver the sickest/funniest material they can conceive. Expect local troupes ManiPedi, Secret Pants and Camp Woods to really up the ick factor this year in hopes of unseating reigning champs, Billy Bob Thompson and Christian Alsis (aka The Feeko Brothers), who have now taken home the trophy two years in a row. Last year, the duo set a new bar for awesomely distasteful comedy with a sketch that entailed deep throating a variety of lollipops (in a few different positions) and a spit jar that was passed through the audience. So, if you have a weak stomach, this may or may not be one show you want to skip.

SIX PACK Six Unusual Tidbits About James Bond By Matt Prigge // mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Director Terence Young’s odd latter career: Historically, the job of directing Bond went not to crappy auteurs like Marc Foster and Sam Mendes, but to workhorses who stuck with the franchise and did little else of note. Young, who helmed Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Thunderball, has a terrific post-Bond credit in Wait Until Dark. His most insane is a toss-up: It’s either Inchon, the notorious, barely seen General MacArthur war picture funded by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, or Long Days, a 1980 biopic that celebrated the life of Saddam Hussein, on which he served as supervising editor.

George Lazenby wasn’t terrible: The Australian model, discovered by producer Albert Broccoli in a barber shop, only lasted one film, and it’s assumed because he stunk. In fact, Lazenby quit the role before the film’s release, citing Bond as a “brute” and the producers as idiots. Time has been kind to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, arguably the series’ pinnacle. Ditto Lazenby who, while a touch too laddish, has the vigor Sean Connery had but then lost. And he nails the final scene.

>> On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

Crispin Glover’s dad was a Bond villain: Bruce Glover, who sired George McFly, is an actor, too—most famously in Diamonds Are Forever as Mr. Wint, the quippy, not-soambiguously gay assassin alongside Mr. Kidd, played by jazz bassist Putter Smith. Bond was nearly played by Michael Billington: I know, right? Who? Though never a household name, this dashing TV vet was Broccoli’s first choice (after Roger Moore), and between 1973 and 1983, he was thrice screen-tested. Eventually. he was given a tiny role in The Spy Who Loved Me, one of his few film appearances. The 1954 Live and Let Die novel is grotesquely old-school racist: It includes a chapter titled “Nigger Paradise.” The 1973 film drops Ian Fleming’s persistent use of the word “negro,” but still generally fears a black planet. Sean Connery is three years younger than Roger Moore: In 1983, competing Bonds emerged: Octopussy and Never Say Never Again, the latter from independent producers who forked out a sum for Connery. In the latter, Connery, 53, plays an aging 007 called back into the field. Meanwhile, in Octopussy, it was business as usual, with a 56-year old Moore. He still had one more to go. n

James Bond Doesn’t Get His Day in Sam Mendes’ Skyfall Daniel Craig is an awesome 007, but the director can’t decide if he’s shooting a chilly noir or a Roger Moore camp classic. By Sean Burns // sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com ere we go again. Ian Fleming’s 007 was retrofitted and re-booted in 2006’s Casino Royale, going back to the beginning and reconfiguring the secret agent as a cutthroat rookie in over his head with the girl of his dreams. Bad things happened, and I don’t feel like I gave enough credit to the picture at the time, but it wears extremely well over repeat viewings— which is largely the pleasure of James Bond movies. Look, none of these films is particularly great, but the formula works like comfort food. Indeed, when the new Daniel Craig administration deviated from it in 2008’s Quantum of Solace—depicting Bond as a rogue psychopath out to avenge the events of Casino Royale—audiences revolted. I still maintain that it’s a more interesting film than most. Despite being hobbled by the writers strike and a terrible director, Quantum dealt out real-world consequences for the young 007, laid the groundwork for a super-terrorist organization that would presumably pay off in sequels, and built to an ending in which Craig had come of age and could at last step into that iconic gun-barrel opening we used to see at the start of every Bond movie. Skyfall scraps all that, beginning with the notion that James Bond is an overthe-hill, prehistoric relic from a distant era. (This strikes me as odd, since we’ve seen Craig assigned to exactly two missions thus far, and he looks a little youngish for all these jokes about how old he is.) Ditching all the breadcrumbs left behind in Quantum and even abandoning beloved supporting characters (We miss you, Felix Leiter!), the movie begins with a pulse-pounding, genuinely amazing action sequence that Skyfall never tops, and the opening credits kick off with Bond left for dead by Her Majesty’s Secret Service. He spends a lot of his free time drinking and outwitting scorpions, only to come back to England months later when M is threatened by a mysterious terrorist played by Javier Bardem. Judi Dench’s off-handedly maternal rapport with 007 has been such a highlight of

This Bond’s a bad-ass: Daniel Craig is once again phenomenal as secret agent 007 in Skyfall.

these past couple pictures, so of course Skyfall has to go and fucking blow it by explaining everything. (Yes, this is exactly what we needed: expository monologues about James Bond’s sad childhood.) It takes about an hour to get to the point, when Bardem finally appears in an ostentatious long-shot, once again boasting an absurdly comic haircut. He minces and insinuates, shoots women in the head and even strokes Bond’s cock while he’s got him tied to a chair. It’s a deliriously over-the-top turn, perhaps the most outlandish Bond villain since Michael Lonsdale in Moonraker. So what’s it doing in this movie? Don’t ask director Sam Mendes. He can’t decide if he’s shooting a chilly noir or a Roger Moore camp classic. Ostentatiously bearing the load of 007’s 50th big-screen anniversary, Skyfall is chockablock with references to previous Bond pictures, constantly interrupting the action so aficionados can pat themselves on the back and say, “I recognize that from a movie I saw before!” Fan service is familiarity that breeds contempt, so when an otherwise compelling scene is interrupted just so Bond can fight Goldfinger’s Odd-Job in a kooky CGI lizard pit while reprising action beats from Live and Let

Die, I began to feel like I was on a theme park ride. Daniel Craig is still a phenomenal 007, lethal and brusque in ways Pierce Brosnan could only dream. There’s also a terrific supporting turn here by Ralph Fiennes, who manages to make his receding hairline look menacing. And attention must be paid to the gobsmacking digital photography by the legendary Roger Deakins. Skyfall might be the most gorgeously shot movie I have seen all year, and I say this as somebody who hates digital. But Skyfall’s problems are the same that riddled The Dark Knight Rises. Much like the interminable amount of time spent waiting for Batman to become Batman again, we have already spent two movies wanting to see Daniel Craig finally become James Bond—and before the opening credits, they’ve knocked him out of commission. And then we have to start all over again. ■

Structurally abominable, it’s a hodgepodge of too many characters working at cross-purposes to such a point where the movie has reportedly been salvaged from a four-hour cut by producers Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, utilizing a patch-job narration (half-assedly intoned by the star/filmmaker himself ) and some mystifying edits obviously laid on in post-production. That said, it’s still kind of fun, but in a seriously shitty way. Unlike Tarantino’s and Roth’s labored homages to the grindhouse movies of their childhood, you never get the sense here that RZA is slumming. He believes in this picture, so much so that he even plays the title character though he can’t act his way out of a paper bag. The Man with the Iron Fists is a crazed vanity project, allowing the filmmaker to goof around with expensive toys and finally become the star of all those junky movies he grew up with. And in that respect, it’s pretty much adorable. Warring clans and lifelong grudges all find their way to Jungle Village, where exploitation legends like Gordon Liu and Pam Grier make cameos, and Lucy Liu presides over a cut-throat whorehouse called The Pink Blossom. There isn’t enough space in this entire newspaper to make room for so many convoluted backstories, or explanations of characters like the twin Gemini killers, or that guy named Brass Body who can turn his skin into metal. All that matters here are cockamamie anachronistic music cues, low-rent filmmaking and one spectacularly hammy turn from Russell Crowe, lording over the action as an opium-smoking, perpetually horny man of mystery. The porcine Oscar-winner cavorts around a whorehouse toting a startling variety of sex toys, channeling Ol’ Dirty Bastard by way of Oliver Reed. It’s unfathomable that Crowe would ever stoop to being in a picture like this, and even weirder that it looks like the most fun he’s had in years. ■

Paolo Sorrentino, of the athletic Italian biopic Il Divo, is far from the first international director to make a road trip picture through America. He is, however, the first to make one in which a two-time Oscar-winner, dolled up to look like the Cure’s Robert Smith, hunts down Nazis. There are several layers of silliness to This Must Be the Place, which stars Sean Penn as John “Cheyenne” Smith, a former pop god who still wears his hair big, as though it was blow dried in a tornado, and dons enough makeup to look like a dead drag queen. His general demeanor is akin to a tranquilized zombie, his voice a nasal whimper, reminiscent of Kids in the Hall teen pop queen Tammy. When he giggles, he sounds like a schoolgirl. Place shares with Il Divo a reliably static grotesque for a protagonist, although Penn’s rocker is far more amusing: His disengaged quips, jazzily deployed by a rarely funnier Penn, are worth filling up a notebook. (“Do you know about the Holocaust?”“In a general sort of way.”) Sorrentino’s direction is staid compared with Il Divo, where the camera swooped and charged and did somersaults, as if to distract viewers from the single, lone thing it had to say about its subject. Place features a subtly developing protagonist, who ultimately undergoes a symbolic lookectomy—a move that’s traditionally a cliché but is, as wielded by Sorrentino, rather startling. And it has a plot: Spurred by the looming death of his errant father, John goes from Ireland to America, soon hopping from NYC to New Mexico to Utah and elsewhere to find an Auschwitz guard. Even with the heavy subject matter, the goal is never important, even sucking into its orbit Judd Hirsch as a longtime Nazi hunter. Journey trumps destination, with pit stops that range from the absurd to the strangely moving, including a boy who does a boffo rendition of the Talking Heads title song. The quirky-sad tone is a problem, although there’s still no film I can think of that looks or feels quite like this one. Sorrentino has few grand things to say about America—Obama and Palin are spied on background hotel TVs, but that’s about it—and hopefully we can agree that’s a good thing. ■

Mirah and the Cold, Cold Water The hometown heroine is prepping a new tour that starts right here at Johnny Brenda’s. By Jennifer Kelly // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

BEN VAUGHN QUINTET

at the Tin Angel

Twenty years ago, when Serrano owners Rich Machlin and Jude Erwin decided to open their second floor as an acoustic performance space, Old City was a different place. The Khyber Pass Pub—as it was known—hosted acts like the Bats and Surgery; hungry denizens ate at Café Einsteinand Equator, and WDRE was in its very first week of existence. And on Fri., Nov. 13, 1992, local legend Ben Vaughn inaugurated the Tin Angel stage. Tickets were $8. So it’s fitting that now, 20 years later, he returns to Old City for the venerable venue’s big birthday. Vaughn kicked off the first weekend of music there, along with Essra Mohawk and Joseph Parsons on Saturday night. (Where art thou now, opener Les Lokey?) The first month’s bookings established the blend that the Tin Angel still boasts today—local favorites (Vaughn, Robert Hazard, Kenn Kweder) and national headliners (John Hammond, David Massengill, the Persuasions) sharing the same stage. “Playing in Philly is a big deal for me,” he said in a PW interview before the 2010 XPoNential Music Fest, where he reunited with old bandmates. “I get a lot of emails asking when I’m going to come back, and the time has never felt more right to be playing with these guys there.” He’s since hit local venues such as the Sellersville Theater and a VFW hall in Radnor, Pa. One thing less predictable this time around, though, is what kind of Ben Vaughn show you’ll see. In the intervening decades, he’s become a genre-spanning music scholar and can mix in long, jazzy improvisations with his flawless, three-minute pop ditties. “The guys I play with, I’ve been with for 20 years now,” he said. “We’re able to shift and go together really well, so whatever the occasion calls for will happen.” (Jeffrey Barg) Tues., Nov. 13, 8pm. $16.

t’s quite windy, gusty winds, but it’s not like a downpour,” says Mirah by phone from Brooklyn, late in the afternoon of Oct. 29 just hours before Hurricane Sandy made landfall southwest of Atlantic City. “I just was on a little walk to a friend’s house a couple of blocks away. I was inside of his house, and every time the wind started shaking the windows, I was like, ‘Maybe I should go home.’” Mirah recently moved back to the East Coast for the first time in 20 years, just in time for epic bad weather, and is now plotting a brief welcome home tour that hits Johnny Brenda’s next week. The K Records mainstay—more often associated with Olympia, Wash., and Portland, Ore., and, now, San Francisco—was born Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn in Mt. Airy, and she lived from age 5 to 17 in Bala Cynwyd. Her family owns a farm in northeastern Pennsylvania, where her mother grew up and where she visits from time to time to recharge and reconnect with her roots. That’s a common theme right now in Mirah’s life, as she returns to old East Coast haunts and revisits older material in preparation for the tour, which will lean on old favorites, she says. A new album, the first to follow 2009’s (a)spera, has been delayed by the dislocations and logistical challenges of her move, but she hopes to get back into the studio in early 2013. “The tour is not in support of a new album,” she says. “But for us musicians, the reason why we play music is not just to promote a product. It’s because we love playing, and that’s what our life is. The tour is in support of being alive and loving to play music for people.” Mirah says she may be unveiling some new songs, but only a few. “I think most touring musicians would also probably agree that there’s a never-ending, sort of insatiable desire by your audience to hear you play the classics,” she says. “People like to hear stuff that they’re familiar with.” That means you can damned near count on a rendition of “Cold, Cold Water,” a crowd favorite from her second album Advisory Committee, and perhaps one or two tracks from 2000’s You Think It’s Like This But Really It’s Like This. “I was a baby when I wrote those,” says Mirah, “but people still seem to really want to hear them.” Her band is full of vets as well. Arriving in

Here she comes again: “The tour is not in support of a new album,” says Mirah. “The tour is in support of being alive and loving to play music for people.”

New York this fall, she knew she didn’t have time to put together an all-new ensemble before an early-November tour launch, so she flew in some long-time collaborators from the West Coast to fill out her sound. Cellist Lori Goldston, also of Black Cat Orchestra, is making the trip, as is violinist/violist Alex Guy of Led to Sea. The sole new face is Andrew McGuire, a San Francisco-based percussionist and vibraphone player. Mirah’s show at JB’s falls roughly a week after the presidential election, too late to urge people to vote, as she has been doing for weeks on her Twitter feed, but not too late to share her thoughts on who she hoped would win: “The Republican party—and specifically Romney and Ryan—have shown a real lack of support on women’s issues, women’s health issues, gay rights and marriage equality and environmental issues. It just seems like bad things could happen.” Still, she says, listeners from all parts of the political spectrum are welcome, and she encourages even the most

conservative of her fans to join the dialogue. “I don’t mean to only be communicating with people who feel as I do. One of the unfortunate things that has happened, especially within the left, is people end up communing amongst themselves and preaching to the choir. It really is useful for people to have a chance to talk to each other, not in a combative way or at the polls or through referendums, to actually try to connect with each other.” It is, ironically, just about then, as we chat about dialogue and open lines of communications that—at Sandy’s wicked hand—my power cuts out and the wind howls, lashing at the windows with the icy rain. And Mirah— her warm, knowing voice made specifically for times like these—wishes me luck in the storm. n Tues., Nov. 13, 8pm. $14. With Mount Moriah. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N.

ON THE RECORD

ON THE IDIOT BOX

ON THE GUEST LIST

Kendrick Lamar

Henri David Halloween Ball

good kid. m.A.A.d city (Aftermath) Sounds like: The Compton boy and homie to ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock’s label debut is a flawless mix of beats, lyrics, storytelling and mind-blowing flow. Free association: Easily one of 2012 hip-hop’s most impressive pieces of work. For fans of: Dre x Drake, Das Racist/Frank Ocean/MellowHype, rags to riches. (Bill Chenevert)

Wed., Oct. 31, Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel Overall vibe: Fabulously flamboyant. Besides being the most extravagant Halloween bash in town, now in its 44th year, the annual costume ball is also the longest-running event of its kind. Most memorable moment: The midnight costume contest rewarding the most imaginative, humorous and elaborate get-ups in several different categories. With the exception of only a handful of folks, everyone in attendance proved a decent contender. Scene stealer: Mr. David’s crew of super-hunks who, donning nothing more than thongs and neckties, flaunted and flopped their assets around all night long. (Nicole Finkbiner)

Black Moth Super Rainbow

Cobra Juicy (Rad Cult) Sounds like: Pa.’s own secretive supergroup of tripped-out electronic freaks does us proud with a drugged-out, dreamy batch of weird pop on their fifth collection. Free association: If Air and Beck had an unruly teenage son who loves mushrooms. And not the store-bought kind. For fans of: Tobacco x Broadcast, Starfucker + Empire of the Sun, Pittsburgh stoners. (B.C.)

Quintessence Theatre Group presents “Othello”

Diamond Rings

Free Dimensional (Astralwerks) Sounds like: The gender-bending, glam 27-year-old from Toronto’s synth-heavy electropop gets a little more sophisticated and serious on his solid sophomore. Free association: Unfortunately, this takes his weirdness down too many notches. For fans of: Lovers/Dom x Bowie/Grace Jones, Robyn + Owen Pallett, rainbow makeup. (B.C.)

3 4 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 7 - 1 3 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! (Constellation) Sounds like: Wordless, post-punk chamber goth from Montreal, their fourth and first in 10 years is a characteristically powerful dark sonic landscape. Free association: Just imagine the emotionally twisted men you’ll meet at this show. For fans of: Pelican/Tortoise x Explosions in the Sky + Low, barren metal hearts. (B.C.)

Cody ChesnuTT

Landing On A Hundred (Red Eye Label) Sounds like: It’s been 10 years since his twodisc Headphone Masterpiece; the 44-year-old soul singer’s back with a beautiful blend of blues, hip-hop and funk. Free association: “I used to smoke crack back in the day” has never been so charming. For fans of: The Roots x CeeLo, D’Angelo/ Maxwell/Raphael Saadiq, veterans. (B.C.)

Mac DeMarco

2 (Captured Tracks) Sounds like: The sleazeglamball from Toronto’s proper LP debut is a more mature progression from his party-vibed EP, with a subtle, smart batch of tracks. Free association: “Rock and Roll Nightclub” caught us in the spring, and we’re still sold. For fans of: Hunx (sans Punx) + Ariel Pink x Liz Phair, morning cigarette glamour. (B.C.)

>> Andre Braugher in Last Resort

Last Resort

Thursdays, 8pm, ABC Captive audience: Crimson Tide fans, people who love seeing Andre Braugher in bad-ass mode. Moment of truth: My pick for the season’s most awesomely addictive new show that everyone should be watching is this weekly thriller, co-created by Shawn Ryan (The Shield). The unlikely yet electric duo of Andre Braugher (Homicide, Men of a Certain Age) and Scott Speedman (Felicity) star as the head officers of a U.S. ballistic submarine that goes rogue once it gets hit by a U.S. missile after they question a command to launch a missile at Pakistan. As the crew dodges everything from enemy subs to island warlords, this show will definitely keep you watching to see how it all goes down. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (Craig D. Lindsay)

The Houstons: On Our Own

Wednesdays, 9pm, Lifetime Captive audience: Whitney Houston fans, people who are still waiting for Being Bobby Brown to drop on DVD. Moment of truth: What better way for the family of a recently deceased pop superstar to mourn than to put all their business in the damn street? That’s exactly what happens on this reality show, which takes trifling shamelessness to a whole ‘nutha level. The show follows around Whitney Houston’s manager/ sister-in-law Pat and her family as they pick up the pieces after Whitney’s untimely death. They also take on the responsibility of looking after niece (and Whitney’s gap-toothed pride and joy) Bobbi Kristina. Yeah, I gave up on this embarrassing-ass mess in the middle of the second episode. Emmy or phlegmmy: Oh, hell to the naw! Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)

Wedding Band

Premiering Saturday, 10pm, TBS Captive audience: Wedding Crashers fans, middle-aged rock-star wannabes who think they still got it. Moment of truth: Finally, a show that reminds all those past-their-prime musicians that just because they never made it doesn’t mean they can’t rock. This hour-long comedy—yeah, you heard me—is centered around a coverband quartet (whose members include Beverly Hills, 90210’s Brian Austin Green and Lost’s Harold Perrineau) and their rowdy experiences as they play weddings, bachelor parties, sci-fi conventions, etc. Let’s just say if the lame (and therefore quite accurate) musical numbers don’t keep you away, the show’s tired, tawdry attempts at making you laugh for an hour will. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlemmy. (C.D.L.)

Through Nov. 11, The Sedgewick Theater. quintessence.org Overall vibe: The Sedgwick Theater, a Roaring Twenties movie palace stripped bare of all its art deco opulence, still majestic, like this Shakespeare play on its vacant runway stage. Most memorable moment: You forget to breathe when, in this all-guy production, Othello says, “Here comes the lady, let her witness it.” Blue light floods the stage, electronic crunchy beats of Philadelphia’s own Mad Decent spills out of the speakers, and Ross Bennett Hurwitz enters in spotlight as the gentle lady, Desdemona. Scene stealer: Director Alex Burns, who left the actors barefooted, bare chested, on a bare black stage, the audience surrounding them, with only the Bard’s words holding them up. (Jessica Foley)

ON THE PAGE Skagboys

By Irvine Welsh (W.W Norton & Company) In summary: This prequel to Trainspotting shows Rent boy and the Edinburgh all-stars in their innocent younger days. Don’t worry, though: It only takes 52 pages for them to find their stride and slowly but surely become the lads we love to hate. Akin to: Visiting Scotland. After penetrating Welsh’s thick use of dialect, try even mentally deciding on dinner without a Scots accent. Author fun fact: Welsh appeared in two films based on his novels: Trainspotting in 1996 and The Acid House two years later. (Anthony Trivelli)

Into the Wilderness

By David Ebenbach (Washington Writers’ Publishing House) In summary: A collection of 14 stories about parenthood—including wanting babies, having babies, dealing with children of divorce and helping kids through heartbreak—that whisper truths and raise questions instead of preach. Akin to: The stories you don’t hear from parents because they’d rather not admit they ever thought they were unfit to raise kids. Author fun fact: Ebenbach, born and raised in Philly, now lives with his wife in Washington, D.C., where he teaches at Georgetown. (Rosella Eleanor LaFevre)

By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net DEAR READERS: I’m writing this week’s column in a drug-induced coma. Well, not quite a coma, but close. I was fighting a cold for two weeks, and the cold won: It morphed into an insanely painful sinus infection—you know it’s bad when your doctor urges you to err on the side of too much Vicodin, not too little. So a warning to everyone whose letter appears in this week’s column: My reliably sucky advice is probably going to be suckier than usual.

STUDY BREAK!!!!

This probably falls into the category of a sowhat’s-the-problem problem: I’m a bearish 44-year-old who can’t get a hot Latin 18-year-old guy to stop sucking my dick. Craigslist was involved initially. But now he comes by for weekly sessions of mutual head and leaves immediately afterward. He’s a sweet kid but deeply closeted; given what little I know of his Dominican family and group of friends, he’s years away from coming out. I’m under no illusion that I’m what he’s looking for, but I am an available sexual outlet. The trouble for me is he won’t kiss and won’t do anything social with me, and the novelty of getting naked with an 18-year-old has worn off. I could stop seeing him, I guess, but saying, “You give great head, but you bore me” is rude. I’m mindful of your rule about treating younger partners like campsites: Leave them in better shape than you found them. I’m doing that, by treating him respectfully and showing him that it’s possible to be openly gay and have support from family and friends, but I don’t know where to go next. Not Wild About the Boy Don’t sell yourself short, NWATB: It’s possible that this 18-year-old is into you. He could be one of those younger guys who prefer older men, and bearish older guys could be his type. But the eat-and-run routine makes it somewhat likelier that you’re not, in fact, what he’s looking for, but all he feels he can safely get. You’re far enough away geographically, and far enough removed socially, that there’s no risk of exposure. He’s not going to run into you on the street when he’s walking around with his friends, and the odds that you know someone in common are nonexistent. Anyway, here’s what you do: Tell him that he’s hot, tell him that he’s a good little cocksucker, but that’s not enough for you to sustain your interest. You’re not asking to meet his friends or family—you’re not asking him to risk exposure—but if he wants to keep blowing you, well, there’s going to be some getting to know you. He’ll have to risk a conversation now and then, maybe even watching a movie together sometime at your apartment. Tell him you can’t be friends-with-benefits with someone who isn’t a friend. A lot of desperate-to-stay-closeted cases convince themselves that they won’t ever have to come out if they can get their sexual needs met in one place and their emotional needs met in another. By showing him that a healthy gay person successfully integrates his sexual and emotional needs—which you’ll have done whether he keeps coming over or not—you’ll be honoring the campsite rule. I’m a man who just got out of a two-year relationship with a great girl. She was always a little controlling, and I felt like I had to tiptoe around her all the time, so I’m glad to be out of the relationship. But I was still providing her with a lot of emotional support. This was fine until she started bothering me for advice on what to do about her rebound relationship. This seemed beyond the call of duty, and I suggested to her that we needed to reevaluate our boundaries. She flipped out and has threatened to force all our mutual friends to pick her over me. I’m also

worried that she will tell everyone we know about my pegging kink. I’m comfortable with that aspect of myself, but other people don’t need to know. Do I stick up for kinks or deny it and blame a vengeful ex? Kink-outing Is Not Kind Denying it won’t work if your vengeful ex has photos or video that she’s willing to deploy. So if there’s documentary evidence, KINK, prepare yourself to own your kink and laugh it off. Assholes and vengeful exes can only use the details of your turnons against you if you’re ashamed of them. If you don’t care who knows, KINK, or you can fake it, the people who know won’t care that they know, you know? Shrug off the reveal, laugh along with any good-natured ribbing and look on the bright side: You could have mutual female friends who are interested in pegging and, after they hear the news, interested in you. I know you were raised Catholic but are now an atheist. I’m curious if you might still believe in God if you took the time to expose yourself to other faith traditions that are more accepting of gay people. Have you looked at Buddhism or Hinduism? There is a great deal of evidence for reincarnation, and what better way to say “it gets better” than by saying you get to do it again and again until you get it right? Born Again And Again The Catholic Church’s stance on homosexuality gave me a big sad when I was an adolescent, it’s true, but I didn’t come to the conclusion that there is no God based solely on that big sad. My sexuality prompted me to question not just the faith in which I was raised, BAAA, but all faiths. And none, in my semi-informed opinion, stood up to scrutiny. I simply don’t know how any reasonable person can look at all world religions, living and dead, and come to the conclusion that one particular tribe or prophet or science-fiction writer got it right and every other tribe, prophet and science-fiction writer got it wrong. But if I was gonna pick a faith based on gayness alone, I would go with Antinous. He was the big gay lover of the big gay second-century Roman emperor Hadrian, the dude who built the wall that kept Mary Queen of Scots from sneaking into Roman Britain and stealing the scones of stones or something. Hadrian, a bearish guy in his 40s, was hopelessly in love with Antinous, a Bithynian teenager. Hadrian’s Bithynian, like the NWATB’s Dominican, must have given amazing head because after Antinous died— he drowned while swimming in the Nile—Hadrian had him declared a god. Take it away, Wikipedia: “The grief of the emperor knew no bounds, causing the most extravagant veneration to be paid to Antinous’ memory. Cities were founded in his name, medals struck with his likeness, and cities throughout the east commissioned godlike images of the dead youth for their shrines and sanctuaries … As a result, Antinous is one of the best-preserved faces from the ancient world.” My husband Terry looks like Antinous—it’s true— so, yeah, I’d hit and/or worship that. As for reincarnation, well, have you seen Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? I wouldn’t mind coming back as that magical pair of pants—only, instead of being passed between best friends Lena, Tibby, Bridget and Carmen, I’d like to be passed between Broadway stars Cheyenne, Andrew, Nick and Kyle. And instead of being a pair of magical blue jeans, I’d like to be a magical dance belt. If there’s a religion that could make that happen for me, BAAA, sign my ass up. n
