CAROLYN KARNES SFREPORTER.COM
RIDICULOUS AND SILLY Good story. The nonprofit designation by the state is ridiculous. Let the marketplace decide. Learn from other best practices in other states. Nonprofit has never meant you don’t make money. Nor has it meant that you’re always a softer, kinder business. For profit doesn’t mean you can’t build a patient-centric business model. These are not 501(c)(3)s. The designation is silly. KYLA THOMPSON LOS RANCHOS

What patients? The “community” aspect was bound to dissolve. Bravo to those who are still maintaining “community” as a part of their programs. I’ll stick with those folks. And to our legislators: get over yourself and your constituents and legalize this puppy to help bridge the gap of ever-fluctuating oil revenues.

SOTOMAYOR SPEAKS
NO CAMPAIGN
St. John’s College got a treat when US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gave a talk and answered questions. Why the school wanted all its official questions to come from men is another question.
State law allows candidates in uncontested races for the Public Regulation Commission to get $17K in taxpayer funds. The only thing preventing Valerie Espinoza from cashing in is that she broke early fundraising rules.
“The concern is that we just don’t have sufficient plant material to meet patient needs,” says Gentry. The letter shows that a month before Ultra Health and Natural Rx hosted a fundraiser for the veteran lawmaker, Gentry asked Ward to reconsider the department’s plant limit, because it’s only “a fraction” of the amount needed to meet patient demand. “Since the change in the plant count from 150 plants to 450 plants went into effect one year ago, the demand for plant material continues to increase,” writes Gentry. “To meet the demands of patients and to enhance the opportunity for further research, I respectfully request that you evaluate the demand for medical cannabis and if the current plant count is sufficient to meet that demand.” Kenny Vigil, an agency spokesman, tells SFR the department verbally told Gentry “that at this time we are not considering increasing plant count.” Gentry confirms that before submitting the letter, he received input from Ultra Health’s Duke Rodriguez and other producers.

LANL cleanup calls for comment The New Mexico Environment Department has opened the new draft of its plan for cleanup of legacy nuclear waste at Los Alamos National Laboratory to public review and comment. The document would replace the 2005 Consent Order between the US Department of Energy and the state that steered a decade of work, and expired in December. Public comment is open until May 16. The structure outlined depends on “milestones” set each year, with targets set for the following years, plotting the course for cleanup of hundreds of pieces of infrastructure and tracts of contaminated soil. This “campaign approach,” the state has argued, will allow work to be concentrated on geographic areas with pressing need. The town sites, upper Los Alamos Canyon and the chromium plume now found in the regional aquifer top the list. “The process is really designed to be dynamic, to revise upward or

Family Medicine downward based on funding,” Kathryn Roberts, resource protection division director for the environment department, said during a presentation to the Northern New Mexico Citizens Advisory Board on the order. “During the course of a year, if DOE needs to shift from one campaign to the next because of new risk or higher urgency, this allows for that flexibility.” Ryan Flynn, environment cabinet secretary, argues that the new document will both accelerate progress and enable congressional delegates to secure more funding. This year, the cleanup was allotted $189 million from the federal budget. The goal, Flynn says, is to get “shovels in the dirt. That’s what I think the public wants to see us actually do at the site, rather than just pushing papers back and forth.” (Elizabeth Miller)

A year after medical cannabis producers got the green light to triple the number of marijuana plants they can legally grow, Republican House Majority Leader Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque, is urging the health department to reconsider its regulatory cap. Gentry’s suggestion is outlined in a Feb. 24 letter sent to then-Health Secretary Retta Ward and obtained by SFR through a public records request. Earlier this week, New Mexico In Depth combed campaign finance reports to uncover that Gentry received donations of more than $13,500 from companies and individuals involved in the emerging cannabis industry. He tells SFR in an interview Tuesday that he’s heard from constituents and from producers around the state that medication is still being rationed.

Advocates say curbing flares and leaks from natural gas development could boost the state’s bottom line by millions BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m

riving the roads through oil and gas country at night, two kinds of illumination stand out on the desert horizon: the towers of halogen lights that shine on drill rigs while they run 24 hours a day, and the several-foottall flames of methane being burned off rather than captured. In the name of millions in lost royalties and reduced environmental impacts, the federal government has taken several stabs at recouping this wasted natural gas—lost through industry practices called flaring and venting, as well as through leaks. An analysis of the methane emissions in New Mexico indicates the state missed out on $50 million in royalties since 2010, according to a report released in March by the Western Values Project, which campaigns for balancing energy development and conservation. “Fixing these leaks will stop the waste of the federal natural gas resource that’s supposed to be produced to the benefit of the taxpayers. Keeping that in the pipeline and not in the air means more revenue for states like New Mexico that rely on that as a big source of budget revenue for state services,” says Jon Goldstein, senior policy manager for the Environmental Defense Fund. Every day, the oil and gas industry brings more than $6 million in taxes and royalties to the state of New Mexico and local governments, according to the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association. Of about $330 million in natural gas lost through flaring and leaks in the entire US in 2013, roughly $100 million of it came from New Mexico, according to an analysis that ICF International conducted for the Environmental Defense Fund. “The state is in a problematic budget environment right now,” Goldstein says. “The state Legislature is looking at cuts to schools and services and things like that, and capturing more methane would mean more revenue back to the state.” New federal rules will take a crack at reducing emissions, which have contributed to a methane cloud the size of Delaware over northwestern New Mexico. The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Bureau of Land Management have each drafted a plan for reducing those emissions, the first coming at it from the perspective of air pollution, given methane’s role as a potent greenhouse gas, and the second from the lost royalties angle, with the BLM estimating that nationwide, states, tribes and federal taxpayers lose as much as $23 million annually in royalty revenue through flaring and leaks. “I think most people would agree that we should be using our nation’s natural gas to power our econ-

Along with dozens of other applicants, she answered questions on a form: Did she have income? No. Kids? No. Had she ever traded food stamps for guns or ammunition? No. After hours—enough time for Knowlton to drop by her mother’s house for a snack and bathroom break— a Human Services Department worker called her to the front window.

Giants of Folklorico Family ties and cultural respect keep alive the unique sound of Northern New Mexico’s folk music

I: THE BASICS
“I quit having a job in 1969, and I’ve been very lucky to do what I’ve loved since then,” aural historian, radio producer and co-curator of the annual Nuestra Musica Festival, Jack Loeffler, announces gleefully over coffee. We’re coming up on the 16th iteration of Loeffler’s annual event, long a joyous occasion for folk music lovers to indulge in la musica del Rio Grande del Norte. He seems to beam at the very thought of the quintessential New Mexican artform, and his stark white beard all but announces he’s kept tabs on the music of the region forever, as if he has practically given his life to the stuff, even writing grants over the years to pursue this music in place of traditional employment. Loeffler is like a one-man Smithsonian Folkways, the label that seeks to record and distribute culturally rich folk music from around the country. Yet he’s focused with laser precision on this corner of the world. He’s written books, produced radio programs, released compilation albums and promoted live music showcases. He lives and breathes New Mexican folk music. And his enthusiasm is infectious, as is the entire musical style, really. I’m sitting in front of him because of what began as a simple phone interview with Greg Glassman, guitarist of local Hispano folk trio Lone Piñón, and spurred me on a journey to find all the information I could. How could a style of music that is so specifically located survive for so long? How had it come to be? Who is out there keeping the traditions alive, and why do I have to be such a stereotypical white person all the time? It’s easy to simply accept the things one’s town has to offer without bothering to look at the deeper histories and effects on the community, and it’s obvious that communities all over the planet boast their own kinds of music. None that come to mind, however, are so hyper-spe-

GLOSSARY With a little help from retired history professor/musician Hilario Romero, Albuquerque musician Frank McCulloch and beloved Hispano folk champion Cipriano Vigil, we’ve put together a few of the terms associated with the folk music of Northern New Mexico. With words like these, you can get out there and totally trick people into believing you’re knowledgeable, kind of like I’m doing to you with this article right now.
cific to just one locale, and now that it has become important to me as a longtime New Mexican, it’s scary to think that it might not be around forever. “Without this music,” Loeffler says, “the biggest window into Hispano culture would be closed.” The folk music of our region is a style and sound not even heard in its country of origin anymore. When the conquistadores and priests made their way to New Mexico from Spain 400-some years ago, the joining of their own musical styles with that of the Indigenous peoples and Mexican music created a wholly new sound. The development of this specific brand of folk may have been accelerated due to isolation (in some cases, it would take three years for supply carts to make their way to certain areas), but it grew and evolved during the occupation by the Spanish in 1598, throughout the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and then Coronado’s reoccupation around 1690. The music survived the European occupation of the state post-Civil War, as well as the advent of the radio, and rock ’n roll. “Even during World War 2, when there were a lot of Hispanic people fighting overseas, they kept hold of the music because there’s just something about it that makes them feel connected to their culture and roots,” Loeffler says. “It doesn’t mean that other or newer music wasn’t happening, just that the Hispano folk music is such a part of them, of who they are, that they fight to keep it going.” Folk legend Cirpiano Vigil agrees, pointing out that geography played an important role as well. “The people were isolated in these small villages and didn’t have access to other kinds of music,” he says. “Even when I was a kid, I didn’t see a TV until I was in my 20s and very few people had radios, but we had these beautiful songs and rituals that were brought here way back when and are now unique to the northern parts of New Mexico; this mix of Spanish colonial and Indigenous and Mexican, and if you go even a little further south, it’s all Mexican music …
COMPAY SEGUNDO Think of it like the second officer. It’s the job of the compay segundo to make the maestro, that’s the main guy, look good and sound good by singing backup or playing an instrument like the requinto, which is this small guitar that’s tuned up a fifth and is designed to harmonize with a regular guitar tuned standard. The compay segundo doesn’t do solos. Hilario Romero CORRIDOS It’s like a history of something, a story of life or battle. The corrido is usually about anything that has impacted society in some way. Sometimes these songs can be a little dry, but there is usually a valuable lesson of some kind. HR
DECIMAS The decima started as written poetry, and it’s usually got four stanzas and four 10-counts. It’s similar to iambic pentameter, but with a little more leeway with the count. These can be about things like dueling. HR ENTRERAS These songs were the ones that were ritualistic. Some were used for baptisms, some for weddings and others for death. They’re there for the big parts of people’s lives. Cipriano Vigil INDITAS They’re kind of like the corridos but have more of the Indigenous flavor. CV
this style doesn’t exist anywhere else.” Globally speaking, the importance of the musical heart and soul of a region cannot be understated, and it’s a lesson more valuable than ever, as mankind seemingly rushes to sacrifice the setting down of strong roots at the altar of hyper-connectivity and corporatization, or embraces the fast-paced jettisoning of our unquantifiable yet precious musical historical backgrounds. In other words, pop music ain’t going anywhere, but it’s sad that it can take away from the ancient styles as set down and carried on by everyday people. Not only is the intrinsic value of informal folk music incalculable, it is often taken for granted. Yes, as people living in New Mexico, we’ve all been someplace or another and heard the dulcet tones of the fiddle, guitar or guitarrón wafting our way, but how many among us have truly bothered to listen? If mariachi or banda music can be considered newer musical forms, which, relatively speaking, they are, the rhythmic syncopations of Hispano folk music
NUEVO CANCIONES A lot of the songs we sing and play are old and passed down forever, but there can still be and are newer ones or songs written today. HR RELACIONES It’s more important what is said rather than the musical form—it’s humor; it can be silly. Frank McCulloch ROMANCES These are love songs, and while they can definitely be happy, they can also be of tragedy. They can even be about things that were violent if you take out the blood and guts. HR
are more akin to that of the classical waltz than the fast-paced polka rhythms introduced much later and so common in more modern styles. Given New Mexican folk music’s historical placement, however, it becomes more about lyricism than its musical delivery system. Besides, the informal aspects provided songwriters of the past (as well as those of today) a modicum of freedom to play with time signatures or deconstruct any sense of rigidity. Certainly this music can be sonically difficult to define, especially when we take into account similarities between many Latin-based styles, but listening to the tales told by its storytellers can go a long way toward identifying that which is undeniably New Mexican. And, it’s another musical style and one that is tragically and slowly fading. According to Pascual Romero, a lifelong purveyor of folk music, “The world is a little different now than it was even when I was younger, and it’s harder than ever to carry on an oral tradition.” Romero is better known as a metal musiCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

cian and promoter, but as a former member of Los Folkloricos de Nuevo Mexico (an act that also featured his father, Hilario, and Cipriano Vigil), he is living proof of the familial importance of New Mexico’s folk music. It’s something he will pass down to his young son, Felix, as well, but he does have concerns as to the future of his people’s music. “We’ve begun to lose the most important aspect,” Romero laments. “And that is that the music is and should be a community thing.” Indeed, the lore of our state’s folk music exists as a sort of communal oral historical record, and like the great ancient philosophers or storytellers who passed down the history of their people, so too does Hispano folk music serve as an unofficial timeline for people of Spanish colonial descent. Obviously, the fundamental tenets of folk music are universal, and therefore, there are lessons to be learned, tragedies to process, events to absorb. And though the Rio Grande del Norte region is relatively small, there is variety based on geography—songs and

II: EL GENTE, EL JEFE
“When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I’d hear musicians where I grew up in Chamisal, New Mexico, and they were what we called ‘tent performers,’” Cipriano Vigil reminisces. “These were touring people who would set up tents and show films and have bands and dancing, and so I’d sneak out and

stories from some villages will be different from others. “It’s not all so different from Appalachia,” Albuquerque-based musician Frank McCulloch says. “There are, of course, those over-arching elements to the music, but it’s similar to how what you’d hear now in the Grand Ole Opry is not what you’re going to hear in smaller places in the mountains.” Still, for the gente of Northern New Mexico, what is seemingly most essential and what reaches out beyond boundaries is the joyful celebration and the formation of familial bonds that spiral out beyond bloodlines and span more than 400 years.

Local musician Pascual Romero says he’ll share the New Mexican folk tradition with his son Felix. Right: One of Cipriano Vigil’s cigar box guitars.
Giants of Folklorico volunteer to help them set up the tents so they’d let me in for free, because I didn’t have any money.” Vigil, who is now 70-something and lives just north of Española in El Rito, perfectly embodies what you might imagine an aging Hispano folk musician looks like, and his bushy mustache highlights a roguish look in his eye when he performs. And though he grew up poor, what he ultimately did receive from the tent performers was far more valuable than money, and thus began a lifelong love affair with New Mexican folk music. You can ask anyone even slightly involved with the New Mexican folk tradition, and they’ll tell you the same—Vigil is a living legend. And on those nights so many years ago, he’d go against his mother’s wishes and sneak out to the tent performances and dances. With notebook in hand, he slowly built his own musical cheat sheets, with notations on finger placement and rhythmic timing. According to Vigil, “There were plenty of other mentors around, my father played music, but still, I did whatever it took to learn about the music and how to play it.” For Vigil, not only was the music aesthetically enjoyable, it spoke to him as the soundtrack to his very heritage. As time went by, his reverence for the music strengthened, and he taught himself to play even more instruments. These days, Vigil focuses more on the guitar (some of which he builds himself ), but it isn’t uncommon to see him pick up a violin or singing saw from time to time. The idea of preservation quickly became just as important to Vigil as the learning of the music had been when he was a kid; he has recorded his own music and that of regional folk musicians since the 1960s, but in 1985, after applying for grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and from the National Foundation for the Arts 11 times, he was finally accepted. “I tried to let these people know that if we didn’t get some of these songs or musicians recorded, that the people were going to die, and the music was going to die with them,” Vigil says. “All this music was never written
down, it was just passed down orally, so I started to worry we were going to lose it. It just took me awhile to get the words right to make them see that it was important.” It took years, but the results were the 2014 book, New Mexican Folk Music: Treasures of a People. Along with the history of his culture’s music and the lyrics of countless songs in both English and Spanish, Vigil compiled a priceless collection of 21 CDs that feature recordings dating back to the 1960sof Northern New Mexican performers, many of whom are no longer alive. For his own part, Vigil’s music is now part of the collections at the Smithsonian. He’s been dubbed a treasure. “My whole goal was always to listen to and preserve the music,” he says, laughing. “It never occurred to me that I would be called a treasure.” And his service to his musical heritage doesn’t stop there. Vigil and his wife teach folk dancing in schools to this day, and his most recent effort, The Cigar Box Guitar Project, also finds him working with the school system to teach children how to build their own small, three or four-string guitars out of cigar boxes (with matching cigar box amplifiers to boot). He calls the project a “complete success” and a perfect introduction for kids to the world of both instruments and folk music. The kids keep the guitars they build, and even professional musicians order these one-of-akind instruments. “I myself have over 300 instruments,” Vigil says of his massive collection. “Some I made from briefcases that I call my ‘day at the office’ guitars; I have one built out of an armadillo shell. … If I find something that I think would work and that would be an interesting or unique instrument, I just have to make it.” He’s magnetic. It’s why people like Hilario Romero were drawn to him in the first place. “We met in 1983, back when I was first teaching at Northern New Mexico College and had just shown up on campus,” Romero says. “Cipriano was performing for a visit from Astrid CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Galindo, and when he started singing this one song I knew, I couldn’t help but harmonize along with him from the back, so he motioned for me to join him up there, and it turned out I was just what he was looking for in someone to play with.” Romero, a retired professor of Spanish and Native history (and Pascual Romero’s father), is currently on hiatus from music, but he was a member of Los Folkloricos de Nuevo Mexico for more than three decades. “I wanted a guitar from the day I could talk,” he says. Elsewhere, folk musicians like Frank McCulloch, Roberto Mondragon, Brenda Romero and David Garcia prepare themselves for the upcoming annual event, Nuestra Musica, at the Lensic Performing Arts Center. Co-curated by Jack Loeffler and his wife Celestia, along with University of New Mexico ethnomusicologist Enrique Lamadrid, the long-running gathering of our region’s best and brightest Hispano folk musicians is a perfectly engaging overview of Hispano folk music’s values. Vigil, for example, will have a number of family members onstage, including two of his grandchildren, ages 10 and 6. “I want them to be proud of where they come from,” Vigil says of his grandchildren. “This music … it’s very unique and beautiful, and I know they feel it; we’re trying to keep it alive so people know that it’s important and that it’s only found here.”

Let’s look at Cipriano Vigil again. He’s well known for writing (and rewriting) his own lyrics for pieces of music passed down for generations. Tales of morality and history aside, this proves that the ultimate upside of our region’s folk music is, as Pascual Romero says, community, but it’s also important on an individual basis. The most engaging part of all of this may very well be the informal nature found in how it is shared. It’s what allowed Hilario Romero to meet Vigil in 1983 and join him in making music, it’s in the passing down of oral history, it’s what allows Lone Piñón to explore the music and it’s what will help to snag new converts, too—the all-important youths. For those of any age who are willing to listen with an open mind and open heart, there is plenty to discover. Of course, we can dissect Hispano folk music on an intellectual or even a historical level, but as always, the most important part of the music is in the feelings it can create in the listener. It is music for the people and by the people, an intangible and emotionally unexplainable process that reminds us what it is to be human and confirms that the stories we create actually matter. Who doesn’t love a good story?

Dear Diary
There’s a piece of soul in that guitar stuff because I think it’s important to do that. I have so many things to say and so many things I feel that need to come out.” This is always exciting in a songwriter, like how Rivers Cuomo once lamented, “I’m tired of having sex,” or Blake Schwarzenbach announced to a former lover, “I don’t think I hate you enough to commit you to me.” Godwin aligns with this mentality perfectly, and her minimal style isn’t about “How could you do this to me?” so much as it’s “Why do I do this to myself?” There’s bravery in that and an honesty that’s not always easy to come by. Of course, this might not be exactly what one thinks when they picture an evening at Vanessie, but we’ve gotta hand it to them for taking a chance on something a little different. Still, Godwin wants potential fans to know she came up playing jazz, standards and show tunes. “Oh, I know what to play,” she muses. (Alex De Vore) JESS GODWIN: 8 pm Friday, April 15. Free.

Jess Godwin. It’s not a household name around here, but it may be soon. Actually, no—it will be soon, if we have anything to say about it. After all, the Chicago-based piano-driven singer-songwriter (who embarks on her third residency at Vanessie in as many years) has an interesting way of doing things. It’s like she takes these Rob Crow/bedroom-singer/indie-rock sensibilities and fuses them with a golden-voiced pop style and plenty of introspection. Just looking at her website (godwinanthology.com), it’s clear that Godwin is an open book. Between homemade videos shot in her apartment and in-depth, journallike analyses of her own struggles and neuroses laid bare through lyrics and blog entries, we are allowed an intimate look into what makes her tick and how she assembles her sounds. It’s only borderline voyeuristic and quite an important look into her process—like living liner notes that contain the stories that went on to become the songs. “I think that the best thing I can do is to be transparent,” Godwin tells SFR. “I’m leaning more into the scary

ROB DeWALT 1967-2016
Dear Rob,
CO UR TE SY
Even when I was scared to write what I actually thought about a band or when I felt so beaten down by a sea of people who weren’t shy about telling me they hated me, I always kind of knew that at least I wasn’t the only one who felt what it was like to deal with small-town culture criticism. You were there first, and you affected so much more than just music. See, we all knew you had something special going on even a million years ago, from the minute you walked through the door at Warehouse 21 and told teenaged me and my idiot teenaged friends, “Hey, I’m Rob! I’m the new music writer for Pasatiempo, and I think what you’re doing here is really freaking cool, so can we talk about it?” I’ll never forget that.
We’d fought with your predecessor over never paying us attention, and the fact that you reached out before we even knew who the hell you were meant everything. Yeah, it was validation, but it also felt like we finally had an ally who understood that it was actually a big deal that kids were doing anything at all. It was a level of support that didn’t go unnoticed. I talked to your brother Scott about this just this morning. “He was a champion for musicians,” he told me. “He found the bands he believed in and really pushed them to do better.”
We all knew you cared. Everyone knew. When Max Friedenberg from High Mayhem died, we put together a fundraiser show for his daughter, and you volunteered your services as a chef before we even put out a call for donations. Or there was the night you just happened to hear I was broke and hungry downtown and sent homemade spanakopita for me with your husband, Jason. Who’s that good, Rob? Not a lot of people. You brother told me, “Rob was my rock.” And it’s been tough. All week people have been asking what happened to you, and I don’t know what to tell them. You weren’t secretive about your struggles with depression, especially with the videos you made and things you wrote during the It Gets Better campaign a few years back. Even though I think a lot of us knew you were in a great deal of pain, both physical and emotional, I’m pretty sure none of us thought it would come to this.
M ILY De WALT FA
There is no me without you. I don’t think I ever told you that, but I should have. I mean, you were the guy who this 20-something idiot writer had to look up to. You probably knew that already (you were a genius), but I guess everyone does that futile thing when a friend dies, where they think about what they should’ve done or said. And even though I won’t pretend I knew you as well as some, I knew you, and we saw eye-to-eye.
I don’t think it was just bands. At least for me, you pushed me to be better without even trying—I wanted to be on your level so badly, so I tried harder. I still push myself to be like you, because how could a writer or music fan ever be as cool as Rob DeWalt? Your “Soundwaves” column taught me (and probably countless other locals) that we could make art, be art, dedicate our lives to art without worrying about the results, so long as we were fucking doing it.
Even years after you unknowingly set me down a path that allowed me to be involved with music on a professional level, you were still that friendly guy who seemed so interested in the art and people around him. After I somehow lucked my way into this job and would get overwhelmed, I knew I could ask you for help or bitch about the particulars. You had this incredible way of commiserating and uplifting—who does that? Most people to whom you complain brush it off, but you knew better than anyone what it was like, and you knew how to make me see it differently, like we were the luckiest people on earth to get paid to write. We really are.
And we can leave it at that, because I would rather not dwell on misery. I believe it’s more important to think about the good you did for the community or the people who loved you so much they can barely begin to process that you’re gone. Mikey Baker was just telling me that he’d burned you a copy of Van Halen Live after you had to cancel a trip to see them in Phoenix recently. He said, “I’m still looking at this CD sitting here, and it’s just such an intense reminder. … What would I tell him besides, ‘Thank you?’ … Probably that I wish we’d gotten it together to have that lunch.” There are countless others I could’ve spoken to about you, and you probably wouldn’t believe how many people are hurting right now. Even if you did, you’d probably just try to make sure we were all OK before you worried about yourelf. Regardless, I think I can ultimately sum up how many of us are feeling in the words of Spock (which I know you’d just love): “I have been, and always shall be, your friend.” We miss you terribly and love you very much. Your idiot friend, Alex De Vore

Rising Sun Local Japanese-Americans share their culture BY BEN KENDALL c u l t u r e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
J
apan is already here. Steve Jobs’ aesthetic for ubiquitous Apple gadgets was greatly inspired by minimalistic Zen design. The remains of the Japanese economic boom of the ’80s surround us on the road and in our living rooms under the names Toyota and Casio and Hitachi. Indeed, the cultural caché of that small island nation has influenced the entire world. We come into contact with Japan every day in some way. When you speak about Japanese entertainment, people might conjure the notions of animation, The Karate Kid or any number of the ninja movies that came out in the ’80s. For Santa Fe’s Japanese Intercultural Network, they’re happy to share all of the aspects of Japan— and a smattering of other Eastern cultures—at the Japanese Cultural Festival. Beyond the martial arts, there’s a huge range of disciplines that have traveled across the sea to America that have their origin in the Land of the Rising Sun: flower arrangement, bonsai, sumi-e painting, tea, sushi, Kabuki theater, and, for Santa Fe resident and Japanese immigrant Chizuko Matsumoto, dance. At 82 years of age, Matsumoto contains a quiet agility that you wouldn’t discern at first blush. As she shuffles across a room, there’s a litheness that’s barely perceptible. At any moment, she can break out in dance, and when she does, it is with expert timing and grace. Matsumoto is a master, and she began her journey to mastery at the tender age of 52. “When I was young, I wanted to learn traditional Japanese dance, I wanted to learn the samisen [a banjo-like stringed instrument],” she says. “But during that time, my father wanted me to learn piano or take ballet. It wasn’t considered appropriate for me
to learn those things.” Indeed, it wasn’t a rarity what Chizuko experienced. After the Meiji Restoration period of Japan, when the government began to mandate that culture at large shun traditional arts for new Western arts and technology, it may have been considered better for young people to learn Western ways of doing things. “People who learned traditional dance back then were trying to sell things. … When they played the samisen, it was like they were low-class. They were trying to sell you something,” she says. Matsumoto traveled to the US at age 30 and married an American-born Japanese man, and it wasn’t until after her children were

out of the house that she began to learn traditional dance in Houston. After a few years, she later pursued her dance instruction under a strict teacher in California. The training was grueling. The day would begin with 100 squats to strengthen the legs, which need to be constantly bent during performance. It takes three years to learn proper head and neck movement alone. “I thought my [instruction] was hard. My teacher showed me her legs and there were scars from being struck with the bachi [a large pick with which the samisen is played],” Matsumoto says. She would later perform regularly for NASA as well as for schools and other organizations wearing one of her 250 handmade kimonos. “It makes me feel like, Okay, this is my business.” Matsumoto has been dancing in Santa Fe for the Japanese festival for the past five years, but she’s un-
able to lend her talents this year’s show. “It’s too bad, because I’m getting older,” she says. “I can’t dance for very long, like I used to.” Still, she’s remaining active with the Japanese Intercultural Network by serving as their creative director for this year’s Matsuri (festival). The festival’s come a long way since 12 years ago, when a group of Japanese-Americans pooled together $20 each, bought some T-shirts and threw together a small event with great success. “Around that time, a lot of young moms had children. We wanted our children to remember and experience something Japanese growing up. Because when we think about Japan, that’s what we remember: the sounds of drums, flutes, the smell of food,” says Satori Murata, president of the festival. Now, visitors can find 30 vendors from around the local area and stage acts from all around the world, performing kabuki; martial arts demonstrations such as karate, aikido and iaido (the art of sword drawing); kyogen (which is called the root of Japanese theater); taiko drumming; and more.

THE CALENDAR
I’m a 49-year-old gay man. I’ve become friends with a 21-year-old straight guy. He’s really hot. He’s had to drop out of college and return home. I know he needs money, as he hasn’t found a job yet and has resorted to selling off old music equipment. I would love to have some sweaty clothes of his, namely his underwear, but I’d settle for a sweaty tank top. Is it legal to buy someone’s underwear? He’s a sweet guy, and I don’t want to freak him out by asking something so personal. How do I broach the subject? -Lustfully Obsessed Stink Seeker It’s perfectly legal to buy and sell used underwear, LOSS, so there’s no legal risk. But you risk losing this guy as a friend if you broach the subject. You can approach it indirectly by saying something like “So sorry to hear you’re selling off your music equipment. You’re young and hot—you could probably make more money selling used underwear or sweaty tanks.” Then follow his lead: If he’s disgusted by the suggestion, drop it. If he’s into the idea, offer to be his first customer. I’m a 52-year-old straight guy from Australia, 29 years married. About eight years ago, I met a lady through work and we became friends, with our friendship continuing after she moved on to a different job. We meet up for coffee occasionally, and we share a love of cycling and kayaking, which we also do together on occasion. Both of us are in longterm, committed monogamous relationships. Our friendship is strictly platonic, sharing our love of riding and paddling. Neither of our partners shares our interest in these outdoor pursuits. My friend does not feel safe doing these activities alone, so often depends on my company for safety as well. The problem is that my wife gets jealous of the time we spend together and wants me to cut off contact with my friend. My wife does not trust my friend not to “take advantage” of our friendship. My relationship with my wife is the most important one in my life, so I am prepared to say good-bye to my friend. How do I say good-bye in a respectful, caring, and loving way? If she asks why we cannot be friends, I don’t want to tell her, “Because my wife doesn’t trust you not to try to get inside my pants (or cycling shorts),” as that would be hurtful. I don’t want to lie, but telling the truth would be damaging to my friend. -Paddling And Riding Terminates Your friend is going to waste a lot of time wondering what she did wrong, PART, if you don’t tell her the real reason you can’t hang out with her anymore. And guess what? This not knowing will cause her more hurt than the truth could. So tell your friend the real reason she’s out of your life: You’re terminating your friendship because your wife is an insecure bag of slop who regards her as a threat. Your friend has a right to know she’s as blameless as you are spineless. Forgive me for being harsh, PART, but I think standing up to your wife, not dropping your friend, is the best approach to this situation. Before I got married, I asked husband repeatedly about fantasies and kinks, so that we had full disclosure going in. It led to some fun stuff in the bedroom, but we’re both pretty low-grade kinksters. Now I realize that I do something that I have never told him about: It’s the way that I masturbate. I started when I was 5 or 6, because it felt good. Got chided by parents and teachers for doing it in public and learned to keep it hidden. And so ever since, it’s been my secret thing. I think it has helped me orgasm in that I knew how early

on, but it has also made it more difficult to come in positions that don’t mimic the masturbating position. Husband likes the idea of me coming in different positions, and I’ve managed now and again, but he doesn’t know why I’m set in my ways. We’ve been together for 10 years, but I have never shared this. Should I tell him? Part of me is afraid that he will think I’m weird. But more than likely, he’ll just want to watch me do it. Still, it’s kind of nice having this one thing that belongs only to me. -Secret Masturbator Obligated Over Spanking Hotness? You could hold this back, SMOOSH, and keep it all for yourself. But I don’t see why you would want to. As sexy secrets go, “There’s one particular position I like to masturbate in” is pretty boring. Unless you need to be positioned on top of a cadaver or under your dad or beside a life-size Ted Cruz sex doll to get off when you masturbate, there’s really no reason to keep this secret. I am totally with your German friend, who wouldn’t do Nazi role-play “in six million years.” I’ve been in a similar position—not quite Holocaust level, but not far off. I’m a white British guy. A while back, while living in the UK, I was dating a woman from Bangalore. She revealed—after her face lit up when I dressed in a way that made me “look like a colonialist” (her words)—that her deepest fantasy was to be an Indian slave girl raped by an English imperialist. And then, living in the US a few years later, I was dating a black woman. We got to talking about the kinks of exes. I told her about this one, and she revealed that her own fantasy was to be the slave on a 19th-century plantation, raped by her white owner. How about some advice for the human fetish objects in these scenarios, Dan? I didn’t want to stigmatize these women for their sexual desires, and I wanted to be GGG, but it was, frankly, hard (or not, as it were). Being asked to act out roles I feel guilty about, and to use the kind of racial epithets I make every effort to avoid… the guilt is a boner-killer. Any tips on how a GGG partner can get past this kind of mental block and at least act the role enthusiastically enough to fulfill the fantasy? Or was a subsequent girlfriend’s outrage about my willingness to indulge such socially regressive fantasies justified? -I Might Play Every Role I’m Asked Less Ideologically-Scrupulous Motives Actors play Nazis in hit movies, British colonialists for prestigious BBC miniseries, and serial killers on long-running television shows. I don’t see why playing monsters in entertainments devised for millions wins Oscars (Christoph Waltz for playing a Nazi in Inglourious Basterds), BAFTAs (Tim Pigott-Smith for playing a brutal colonialist in The Jewel in the Crown), and Golden Globes (Michael C. Hall for playing a sociopathic serial killer in Dexter), but playing a monster for an audience of one should outrage “subsequent girlfriends” or anyone else. My advice for people asked to play monsters in the bedroom mirrors my advice to a gay guy attracted to degrading “antigay” gay porn: “A person can safely explore degrading fantasies—even fantasies rooted in ‘hate ideologies’—so long as he/she is capable of compartmentalizing this stuff. Basically, you have to build a fire wall between your fantasies and your self-esteem. (And between your fantasies and your politics.)” If you can build a fire wall between their fantasies and your politics and beliefs, IMPERIALISM, go for it. If you can’t, don’t.

Sharon Sato has been Taiko drumming since the ‘80s. It’s a dynamic artform, and when you listen to it, it’s sure to get your blood pumping. You can catch Sato drumming on stage with others at the Japanese Cultural Festival on Saturday, April 16 (12:30 pm, Santa Fe Community Convention Center, 201 W Marcy St.). The festival starts at 9:30 am and goes till 5 pm. (Ben Kendall)
STARRING LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS AND ESAI MORALES
What is Taiko drumming? It was actually an alarm for the small villages in Japan, if it were not a festival. If something was happening, you’d beat the drums. All the festivals would have these songs that would be played at matsuris (that means festival), and we’ll be playing some of them at the festival. However, it wasn’t a staged performance—it was just normal people. But when it came to the US, it became more of a theatrical experience. For the hippie generation, with a lot of people trying to stand out, it really started to get popular in California. How did you get started? We were totally impressed during the Olympics in Los Angeles performance of Kodo. They were just these big sexy guys, and they hung the drums from the ceiling. It was a lot like Cirque du Soleil. And when we (myself and a girlfriend) signed up and told the teacher why we signed up, that was shocking to the more conservative members, who were taking it as more traditional Japanese Taiko. We had a wonderful life of Taiko, since [we were studying with] the people who brought Taiko to the US. They were very generous in teaching What’s difficult for beginners in this drumming style? Other than you should have rhythm—and you’d be surprised how many people that sign up don’t have that. It’s also very physical. Many people can’t bend down low and strike the drum or have the coordination to follow the choreography. It’s also a challenge to your brain because you have to remember the sequence.

Get out of the city for classic culinary rewards in Chimayó
BY BEN KENDALL c u l t u r e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
JOB FAIR
here’s more than one pilgrimage destination in Chimayó. Just down the road from El Santuario de Chimayó, where people come from hundreds of miles on foot to sample the miraculous healing soil, another rehabilitative substance can be found that is perhaps just as divine: burritos. The restaurant, Rancho de Chimayó (300 Juan Medina Road, Chimayó, 9842100), is a historic hacienda dating back to the 19th century. The rural Rancho has been open for just about 50 years, founded in 1965 by Florence Jaramillo and her husband—and Florence still owns and operates it. Even after a short closing due to a fire allegedly set by a disgruntled ex-employee back in 2008, it continues to be a regional favorite. In fact, the restaurant was recently a nominee for the 2016 America’s Classics Award from the James Beard Foundation, and for good reason. There isn’t anything that isn’t a gastronomic delight within these walls. The décor is less traditional hacienda and more “whatever I like.” Two dour and mustachioed gentleman stare blankly from a sketch inside the vestibule to the left of the door, burning the back of your head with their gazes. On an inside hallway is an artistic recreation of what looks like somebody’s “glamour shot” photograph. Conversely, all of the waitresses are dressed in brightly colored skirts and billowing white blouses—creating an old Mexico feel in a New Mexican restaurant. The wait staff, the prospect and the food are familiar and yet anything but typical. I’m led out to a large covered dining area drenched in the remains of the late afternoon sunlight. Small pots of fresh honey (covered with protective cling
When you see a burrito like this, all you can say is, “Dude. Dude.”
wrap) sit upon the table beside slightly worn, but still colorful, silk flowers. It was before the dinner rush, but still busy, with pockets of vacationers and a few older locals huddled over their meals, languid after one or more of the house margaritas ($7.50). I ordered one, too. The Sauza brand tequila was in perfect proportion to the mix and not too sweet. Even one, was sufficiently potent, providing just the right amount of before-repast squiffiness. Chips and salsa arrived at the table before long, accompanied by some of the finest guacamole ($6.75) that I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant (without having to make it myself ). It was simple and rich, without any strange tastes that you might experience from a canned variety found in a restaurant pressed for time or expertise. I was assured that it was handmade every day from only ripe avocados, some salt, pepper and, apparently, love. The main course was a carne adovada burrito ($13.50)— pork marinated in a spicy red chile caribe sauce and wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with more adovada sauce and cheese, flanked by what appeared to be housemade refried beans and that Spanish rice. The meat was moist and drenched in sauce. With every bite, the savory/sweet tastes of the pork and chile combined to make a seraphic sensation that lingered in my mouth long after the meal was over.
One huge, puffy sopaipilla accompanied the dinner plate; when combined with the burrito, some guac and a blob of honey, they provided a flavor that goes beyond merely satisfying. For dessert, I ordered piñón mocha mousse ($5.10). I couldn’t finish it, but it was out of this world. The texture was thick and had the requisite amount of bitter chocolate flavor on the back end that balances out the sweet, plus tiny chunks of soft piñón that almost snuck past my tongue. The service deserves mention. Going against the rule, at least in comparison to Santa Fe, Rancho de Chimayó’s wait staff are prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and altogether accommodating. My server was always on hand to refill water or offer suggestions; he was remarkably friendly and proficient.

What a more perfect way to welcome spring blossoms than with blooming cocktails? You can make your own floral infusions, and if you’re familiar with my garden-to-glass mixology (and book), you already know I love making my own. The following are a few great options to sip your way through April (snow) showers and right into May flowers.

Koval Distillery, located in Chicago, makes a line of organic spirits and liqueurs. Their products are lovely, but I have to say that my favorite of them all is the Chrysanthemum & Honey liqueur. It is rich yet delicate and tastes like a kiss of sunshine. It holds up to dark spirits and brings life to light ones.
GRAPE VINE FLOWERS
June Liqueur is made in Cognac, France. The base spirit is distilled ugni blanc wine, which is then macerated with merlot, cabernet and ugni blanc flowers. It is sweetened, but not too much. It also has a slightly higher alcohol content than most liqueurs, making it very flexible to use as the base of a cocktail. Flower flavors can very easily taste artificial, reminiscent of licking soap or spraying perfume into your mouth. So I fell in love with Bitter Truth Violet liqueur, because it does not taste like that but rather imparts the elegant whisper of violets often used in vintage recipes, including the classic Aviation cocktail: gin, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur and a soupcon of violet liqueur.
ROSE
If you’re planning a bridal shower this spring, then rose liqueur and Champagne makes for a lovely celebratory toast. Combier infuses petals picked in the Loire Valley in sugar beet-based spirit and then sweetens it, resulting in a truly romantic Liqueur de Rose. C’est magnifique!

Another grape-based (hence “gluten free”) spirit is the base for the lavender vodka from Heritage Distilling. It is slightly sweetened but not quite enough to fall into the liqueur category. So, if you’re handy at balancing sweet, tart and bitter, this is a fun base for a flowery cocktail.
ORCHID
Again, from France, the land of flowers and sweet nothings, 1883 Maison Routin’s Orchid syrup is a sensual experience for both cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks. Add a little to boozy libations, or simply transform tea, club soda or even food recipes into an exotic delight.
THE LIQUID MUSE LAVENDER SYRUP
Okay, you talked me into it: Here is my recipe for lavender syrup, which I use in everything from lemonade to Lemon Drops. ¼ cup dried lavender buds 2 cups sugar 1¾ cup water Bring to boil on stovetop. Lower heat and simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Let cool. Strain and bottle. Refrigerate up to about three weeks.

I’m Sweet Enough The way to the heart is through the stomach by ben kendall
culture@sfreporter.com Everyone searches for meaning. It’s a quest that consumes us all, from the time that we start wondering why we’re here or what we’re doing with our lives. Day in and day out, there’s a gentle undercurrent to our existence that yearns for a sliver of understanding amid the chaos. There comes a time when you’re surrounded by the broken dreams and the consequences and the nearly desperate journey for escape that follows— a way to grasp the threads of the future left open to you. This is the unifying theme for the principal characters in Naomi Kawase’s Sweet Bean.
Dorayaki chef Sentaro (Masatoshi Nagase) toils away in the shop where he makes the sweet bean confection, which is basically like a Japanese moon pie. And he’s drowning in the din of teenage schoolgirl complaints about his poor attempts at pastry-making. By his own admission, he doesn’t have a sweet tooth. The bean paste (called “an” in Japan) comes from a giant can that he orders each day. He soon meets an elderly woman named Tokue (played expertly by Kirin Kiki) who asks to work at the shop but is rebuffed several times. Tokue convinces Sentaro to allow her to try her hand at the business after she gives him a sample of her bean paste, which Sentaro remarks is
SCORE CARD
The seasons of the year play a prominent role in the film, almost appearing as characters themselves. When the film first opens, spring is in full bloom, and it’s the season in which the lion’s share of Wakana’s story arc takes place. Sentaro’s story is in the summer, and at the end of the third act, Tokue’s character development is finally revealed, in the autumn. It’s almost elegant, as the seasons also correspond to the relative ages of the characters and their relationships to the world and themselves. As with all foreign films, the pacing to Sweet Bean is different from most mainstream films. It’s slow and meticulous, and it has to be. Each shot is carefully crafted to convey visual meaning and purpose. There are no throwaway scenes in this film. Taken as a whole, it’s difficult not to feel something from this film, and if you stick it out until the end, there’s a concrete heartstrings payoff. Despite being semi-mired in a foreign culture’s unspoken folkways, Sweet Bean is worth it. If nothing else, this film reminds “all of us that we want to live in a society where the sun shines.”

“rarely this good.” She soon reveals that she’s been making bean paste by hand for 50 years and is appalled that he’s using a canned substitute. Of course, not all is at it seems, and Tokue’s gnarled hands and charming way of looking at life are the result of an illness that’s rarely talked about, but which we all are familiar with. Unfortunately, Wakana (Kyara Uchida), the third character of the protagonist trifecta, isn’t as well enough developed to provide ample connection to the audience. Her relationship to her mother (who appears in just one scene, so we can only assume she is somewhat of an absentee parent) makes her feel trapped. But we don’t discover this until after percolating on the visual juxtaposition between her and her pet canary Marvy. Her motivations are obscure, and her reasons for cultivating a relationship with Sentaro and Tokue are nebulous. In film, showing rather than telling is typically the rule, but in this case, a great deal is lost in translation. Culture plays a quiet role in why the characters feel the way they do, but viewers lacking a familiarity with modern Japanese culture will no doubt experience a slight disconnect in regards to motivation. There’s a bunch of storytelling here that’s only visual in nature, and you really have to be paying attention to catch all of what is being said without being said.
ZOOTOPIA “there is an actual feeling that the city lives and breathes”
THE BOSS Oh boy, here comes The Boss, yet another pointless outing in a long line of movies wherein Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) says a bunch of awkward things, acts like a childish asshole to everyone and falls down all the time. But guess what? It’s getting old, man. McCarthy plays Michelle Darnell, a gazillionaire businesswoman who struck it rich through … huh. Hmmm. Y’know, they actually never really say how she made her fortune, outside of “business.” Anyway, since we’re shown that her childhood fully sucked in an opening montage that finds her repeatedly returned to a Catholic orphanage, I guess we’re supposed to feel bad for her (or at least try understand why she is so self-centered). The thing is, though, we just don’t. This is why we don’t much care when she is imprisoned for insider trading, or when she is released and realizes the only person she can turn to is her former assistant Claire, played to epically wooden proportions by Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell, who she mistreated. There are a bunch of scenes where McCarthy does gross things, ignores simple social cues or whispers foul-mouthed nonsense to Claire’s oh-sounique daughter, but it isn’t long before she schemes to make her way back to her billions by forming a for-profit Girl
Scouts alternative (here called Dandelions, presumably to avoid lawsuits) with nothing more than Claire’s apparently excellent brownie recipe and a can-do spirit. Of course, we all know a movie needs a third act (even when we wish it didn’t), so Michelle does the shitty things we knew she’d do, which kind of creates conflict and ultimately produces redemption, only who the hell cares at this point? The audience is left to wonder why they bothered to even show up for this thing, other than they heard the new Batman movie sucked. Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage does turn in an absurdly enjoyable performance as the Japan-obsessed villain, Renault, and The Boss scores points for giving Bell a pudgy, bearded love interest (though liking that might just be my own weirdness). But you definitely have to wonder if McCarthy is ever going to try anything different or if America will continue to abide by her onetrick-pony acting style. Wait to rent this. Actually, don’t even do that. Forget this exists entirely. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal R, 99 min.
CITY OF GOLD Los Angeles is home to about 20 million people. Its greater metropolitan area stretches in all directions for around 500 square miles. When people think of Los Angeles, they think of horrible traffic,
gangster rap, urban sprawl, Hollywood, Disneyland and maybe the beach. But what they might not think about is the full range of gastronomical options that are available to the average foodie. City of Gold shows us that LA is one hell of a place for food, and nobody else can take us on that journey so well as food critic Jonathan Gold. Written and directed by Laura Gabbert, the filmmaking style tends to be remarkably raw at times, with a verite feel of mildly shaky handheld camera (obviously shot on pro-sumer level cameras, with only a few interviews shot on a more technically impressive camcorder), and some shots are soft or poorly framed. That’s hardly noticeable unless you’re a filmmaker yourself, and it really doesn’t matter anyway. Gold, an LA native, has been doing some form of journalism or another since 1982 and has a preternatural talent to find the tiny hole-in-the-wall eateries that have been the mainstay of his career. In every segment, we’re given entree into the life of a so-called celebrity food reviewer, but if you had only a passing familiarity with his writing, the persona of the man himself is somewhat different from what you might expect—rotund, aging, urbane—and altogether a human being. We’re frequently shown how he frustrates himself and his editors by having the “attention span of a CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

barf This device helps my lipstick to stay applied even after vomiting, in The Boss. gnat,” with columns coming in late or otherwise exasperating his bosses; it’s a breath of fresh air to watch somebody so successful in his field fall prey to the same pitfalls that plague all journalists at one time or another. This isn’t schadenfreude, but a feeling more akin to commiseration, regardless of your profession. In a sea of people and asphalt, there’s a laser-like focus on the immigrants and restaurateurs who make up the culinary scene in LA. There’s real heart and soul behind every morsel they create, and it is through this medium that we can touch just a small portion of who they are as people. And yet, through this connection, we get the sense of what it is to live in such a large city and the very real and ironic personal isolation of being one drop in a vast ocean of people. “In this neighborhood, most of us are just passing through, transients on our way to more permanent homes, in Long Beach or Huntington Park,” Gold says. “We are all citizens of the world. We are all strangers together. The landlords keep to themselves. And so do I. I often wish that they’d invite me over to dinner.” (Ben Kendall) CCA, Violet Crown, R, 96 min.
BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a poorly constructed pastiche of disparate scripts slapped together with the thinnest of pretense and has more guest stars than an episode of The Simpsons. And it was bad. There, we said it. What at first seemed like an ill-advised expedition into film mistakes that held the distant possibility of an improbable success has revealed itself to be what everyone thought it would end up to be. This film is like your screwup cousin who decided to go to college and everybody was really hoping he’d pull his shit together after that (commuted) arson charge, but then drops out of college before the end of the first month and is now awaiting trial for an unrelated crime. And for some reason, despite all the “I don’t like Ben Affleck” hoo-haa that was the main complaint from fans, the performances are not the issue (aside from Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor). Zack Snyder and the writers seem to have little understanding about the characters, how they would act or how they’re interrelated, and the evidence behind this is the God-awful, “throw a few major DC Comics universe events at the page and hope that something sticks” method.

Overall, this movie is a bunch of missed opportunities wrapped in desperation, driven by a studio that by all indications has no idea what it’s doing with these franchises in the context of motion pictures. It’s evident that they wanted to catch Marvel and begin to have a competitive chance at deposing them from their superhero-movie throne. That’s not going to happen in the foreseeable future. You see, they forgot to add the elements that made the Marvel movies so successful: heart and story. (BK) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 151 min.
EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT
The bloody history of rubber exploitation and colonization in the Amazon is brought into stark relief in writer/director Ciro Guerra’s new film, Embrace of the Serpent. During this era, the rubber boom was in full effect and (with modern eyes) a large-scale humanitarian and ecological disaster. Western Europe spared no perversion in stripping the land of rubber, gold and other resources. Period explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett (who would disappear with his son and his friend in the Amazon in 1925) referred to the South and Central American jungle as “a green hell.” It was a lawless time, rife with abuses and atrocities of nearly every flavor; man was just as dangerous as the suffocating canopy. The plot has a nonlinear focus, moving between a time near 1907 and an undefined point in the future (somewhere around WWII), through the experiences of two explorers who seek cures to their respective ailments. One is terminally ill, and the other cannot dream; juxtaposed against the younger Karamakate’s anger at his tribe’s destruction by Europeans and the elder Karamakate’s inability to remember his cultural identity, the primary character’s motivations mirror each other. Embrace of the Serpent proceeds at a sedentary pace. But even the timing serves the theme of the narrative, as it slowly cooks the story in such a way that you almost feel yourself lost in it, in a sense, becoming your own chullachaqui. Yet this film does not disappoint. Serpent has collected a bunch of accolades from all over the world, including Sundance and Cannes, and there’s a good reason for that. (BK) CCA, Unrated, 125 min.
ZOOTOPIA
Not everyone is enamored with the saccharinesweet films from the admittedly fine folks at Pixar, and not everyone loves CGI-produced animated films the way they love good oldfashioned cell animation. Still, it would be hard to deny that the field has come light-years since
MOVIES
yay! See, even Jonathan Gold gets writers block in City of Gold. Toy Story unleashed its truly terrifying concept on the world, and every so often a sincerely special animated movie comes along. Zootopia is one of those. A genuinely clever take on very adult topics like race relations, sexism, strained relationships and the corrupting nature of power, the newest outing from Walt Disney Animation Studios is not only a triumph in terms of storytelling for kids and parents simultaneously (which is actually much harder than you might think), but a wise step from a company that has traditionally/unfortunately often told little girls all over the world to just take it easy already, because a man is on the way to fix everything. Zootopia, by the way, is cool as hell and looks beautiful the first time we see the city through Judy’s eyes, via brief aerial shots of dizzying rainforest treetop canopies, scorching deserts, miniature rodent neighborhoods and so on. The attention to detail is staggering, and unlike most Pixar films, there is an actual feeling that the city lives and breathes.
Judy, a rabbit, has plans to join the police force. No one takes Judy seriously, though, and she winds up working as a mere meter maid. Still, she does her job well, and through a series of right place, right time moments, she is thrust into the midst of a clandestine plot alongside Nick, a slick con artist fox (played amazingly by Jason Bateman) with a tragic past, and the pair must fight the odds to find the bad guys and return order to their city. Allowing the legitimately funny moments to eclipse whatever paint-by-numbers plot points one would expect from a kid’s movie is the way to go here, and the important lesson we’re helped to relearn is that you should never judge a book by its cover (unless that book is about sloths). If nothing else, we can all be reminded that we may need help from time to time, regardless of age, even when we truly do believe in ourselves. (ADV) Violet Crown and Regal Cinemas, PG, 108 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT
Rob Brezsny
Week of April 13th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free,” said novelist Ralph Ellison. Would you consider making that a paramount theme in the coming weeks? Will you keep it in the forefront of your mind, and be vigilant for juicy clues that might show up in the experiences headed your way? In suggesting that you do, I’m not guaranteeing that you will gather numerous extravagant insights about your true identity and thereby achieve a blissful eruption of total liberation. But I suspect that at the very least you will understand previously hidden mysteries about your primal nature. And as they come into focus, you will indeed be led in the direction of cathartic emancipation.
“Whatever you resist you become,” he says. “If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering. If you resist confusion, you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.” Can you wrap your imagination around Adyashanti’s counsel, Libra? I hope so, because the key to dissipating at least some of the dicey stuff that has been tweaking you lately is to STOP RESISTING IT!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) During every election season, media pundits exult in criticizing candidates who have altered their opinions about important issues. This puzzles me. In my understanding, an intelligent human TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “We never know the wine we are becoming while we are being crushed like grapes,” is always learning new information about how the world said author Henri Nouwen. I don’t think that’s true in your works, and is therefore constantly evolving his or her case, Taurus. Any minute now, you could get a clear intu- beliefs and ideas. I don’t trust people who stubbornly cling to all of their musty dogmas. I bring this to your ition about what wine you will ultimately turn into once the grape-crushing stage ends. So my advice is to expect attention, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an especially ripe time for you to change your mind about a that clear intuition. Once you’re in possession of it, I bet few things, some of them rather important. Be alert for the crushing will begin to feel more like a massage— the cues and clues that will activate dormant aspects of maybe even a series of strong but tender caresses. your wisdom. Be eager to see further and deeper. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your sustaining mantra for SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Friedrich Nietzsche pubthe coming weeks comes from Swedish poet Tomas lished his first book, The Birth of Tragedy, in 1872, when he Tranströmer: “I am not empty; I am open.” Say that was 28 years old. In 1886, he put out a revised edition that aloud whenever you’re inclined to feel lonely or lost. “I am not empty; I am open.” Whisper it to yourself as you included a preface entitled “An Attempt at Self-Criticism.” In this unprecedented essay, he said that he now found his wonder about the things that used to be important but text “clumsy and embarrassing, its images frenzied and no longer are. “I am not empty; I am open.” Allow it to confused, sentimental, uneven in pace, so sure of its conloop through your imagination like a catchy song lyric whenever you’re tempted to feel melancholy about van- victions that it is above any need for proof.” And yet he also ished certainties or unavailable stabilizers or missing fill- glorified The Birth of Tragedy, praising it for its powerful impact on the world, for its “strange knack of seeking out ers. “I am not empty; I am open.” its fellow-revelers and enticing them on to new secret CANCER (June 21-July 22) According to my analysis of paths and dancing-places.” In accordance with the astrothe astrological omens, you are close to tapping into logical omens, Sagittarius, I invite you to engage in an hidden powers, dormant talents, and future knowledge. equally brave and celebratory re-evaluation of some of Truths that have been off-limits are on the verge of your earlier life and work. catching your attention and revealing themselves. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “Go back to where Secrets you have been concealing from yourself are ready to be plucked and transformed. And now I will tell you started and learn to love it more.” So advised you a trick you can use that will enable you to fully cash Thaddeus Golas in his book The Lazy Man’s Guide to in on these pregnant possibilities: Don’t adopt a passive Enlightenment. I think that’s exactly what you should do right now, Capricorn. To undertake such a quest wait-and-see attitude. Don’t expect everything to hapwould reap long-lasting benefits. Here’s what I propen on its own. Instead, be a willful magician who pose: First, identify three dreams that are important aggressively collects and activates the potential gifts. for your future. Next, brainstorm about how you LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) This would be a perfect moment could return to the roots of your relationships with to give yourself a new nickname like “Sugar Pepper” or them. Finally, reinvigorate your love for those dreams. “Honey Chili” or “Itchy Sweet.” It’s also a favorable time Supercharge your excitement about them. to explore the joys of running in slow motion or getting a AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “What am I doing here in tattoo of a fierce howling bunny or having gentle sex mid-air?” asks Ted Hughes in his poem “Wodwo.” Right standing up. This phase of your cycle is most likely to about now you might have an urge to wonder that yourunfold with maximum effectiveness if you play along with its complicated, sometimes paradoxical twists and self. The challenging part of your situation is that you’re turns. The more willing you are to celebrate life’s riddles unanchored, unable to find a firm footing. The fun part is that you have an unusual amount of leeway to improvise as blessings in disguise, the more likely you’ll be to use and experiment. Here’s a suggestion: Why not focus on the riddles to your advantage. the fun part for now? You just may find that doing so VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Right about now you might will minimize the unsettled feelings. I suspect that as a be feeling a bit extreme, maybe even zealous or meloresult you will also be able to accomplish some interestdramatic. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were tempted to ing and unexpected work. make outlandish expostulations similar to those that the poet Arthur Rimbaud articulated in one of his histrionic PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) How many fireflies would you have to gather together in order to create a light as poems: “What beast must I worship? What sacred bright as the sun? Entomologist Cole Gilbert estimates images should I destroy? What hearts shall I break? What lies am I supposed to believe?” I encourage you to the number to be 14,286,000,000. That’s probably beyond your ability to accomplish, Pisces, so I don’t recarticulate salty sentiments like these in the coming ommend you attempt it. But I bet you could pull off a days—with the understanding that by venting your more modest feat with a similar theme: accumulating a intensity you won’t need to actually act it all out in real lot of small influences that add up to a big effect. Now is life. In other words, allow your fantasy life and creative an excellent time to capitalize on the power of gradual, artistry to be boisterous outlets for emotions that shouldn’t necessarily get translated into literal behavior. incremental progress. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Adyashanti is my favorite mind-scrambling philosopher. One of his doses of crazy wisdom is just what you need to hear right now.
