Air Supply likes challenge of music Graham Russell says he loves to write songs

Air Supply concert When: 7:30 p.m.

Friday, June 14 Where: Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts, 1028 Georgia Road, Franklin, N.C. Tickets: $30, $35, $40 Contact: great mountainmusic.com

From staff reports Question: After more than 38 years as a band, how have you managed to stay together and produce more songs?

Answer: We are not competitive. Russell (Hitchcock) is lead singer, and I have no desire to be the lead singer. My role is to be the songwriter and he has no desire to write songs. In a lot of bands, they have trouble and break up because they want to do a lot of things.

People should do what they are good at. I’m really good songwriting and Russell is a great singer. In fact, we’ve never had an argument in our entire career. We just don’t. It’s a great thing, because in our lives we have arguments with wives and family.

But we’ve never raised our voices with each other. It’s a great working relationship.

Q: How is touring different now than when you first started? And what do you do to pass the time when traveling from city to city?

A: The thing is we do a lot of overseas shows.

More than 50 percent of our shows are overseas and are very far away in China, India and South America. And you get into rhythm when traveling.

I actually love touring overseas, because I look forward to the long flights.

I can get a lot done

without any interruptions.

I’m a voracious reader and when you are on your own you can do whatever you want.

When we are doing dates in U.S. and we get to city, I like to go for a walk and find a yoga studio and just work out and get kinks out. Then Russell and I will have a nice dinner. Then next day is show day. Russell and I have might have lunch together. Then I will be in my room and play guitar and think about what songs I want to play and may change up the show a little bit.

Q: Now that you have experienced more in life, has your songwriting process changed? How do you come up with new

ideas for songs?

A: My songs are very simple. I never write complicated songs. It’s simple and endless.

I just sit down with guitar and piano and it’s always there. I don’t have to think in advance. I sit down and it’s there and it just starts flowing out.

Sometimes it’s two or three songs at once. I will sit down and start on one and then something else will come out and it will be a completely different song. I like bouncing from one to another. It’s a challenge.

And I love writing songs. I can’t think of anything I love to do more. Consequently, it’s easy for me.

Q: With more than three decades under

your belts in the music business, how would you say the industry has changed? Is it better or worse?

A: It’s certainly changed. Touring has changed. It’s more expensive to tour.

And not a lot of bands tour because it is so expensive with the gas, freight and buses. You get into it and adapt to it.

Record companies are a thing of the past because of the Internet and YouTube. And that’s a good thing. Record companies made all the money and artists would only get a small percentage.

It also pushes artists to do it themselves.

They must promote themselves and do as

many shows as they can. It’s a challenge but a great a challenge. We need to have challenges because if it is easy, it’s not fun.

Q: What kind of advice would you give someone trying to break into the music business?

A: First of all they have to have a good product.

A lot of people think with so many shows — like talent shows like American Idol — think they will get on there and be an instant rock ’n’ roll star. That’s not going to happen. How many of them from those shows do we remember now?

So you’ve got to be good and have great product and have a great songs. You can’t have a career on bad songs. You can make a great song sound amazing, but you can’t make a bad song good. You’ve got to have great songs.

And you’ve got to have one thing people don’t have and that is you’ve got to believe in yourself.

You have to have the passion. If you don’t have that you might not even start. It’s like they say ‘Many are called, few are chosen.’

New hiking guide maps Race local sheriff in 5K to out 22 trails in North Ga. Proceeds benefit at-risk From staff reports Volunteers with the Yahoola Trails Conservancy have helped the Dahlonega-Lumpkin County Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center launch a complete and accurate new guide to “Hiking Trails in the Dahlonega Area: 22 Trails in the North Georgia Mountains within 32 miles of Dahlonega.”

The new guide has directions to start each trail from the downtown Dahlonega-Lumpkin Visitors Center. The user-friendly guide key includes each trail’s name, length, loop or one-way and trail’s managing agency.

Trails include close to town options such as

the Lake Zwerner Trail (Dahlonega Reservoir) Loop, the Yahoola Creek Park Trail System, and Jake & Bull Mountain Trail System. It also goes as far out as Helton Creek Falls, the Sosebee Cove Scenic Area and trails at Cooper Creek Recreation Area.

The information includes a 32-mile radius of hiking opportunities from portions of the Appalachian Trail and U.S. Forest Service areas, and scenic selections from Lumpkin County and Georgia state park areas.

“One of our goals was to provide the outdoor adventure seeker interest market with readily available, up-to-date and accurate recreation information for hiking the Dahlonega area,” said

Jay Markwalter with the chamber tourism office.

“A guide to hiking trails is one of the top 10 walkin visitor inquiries at our downtown Dahlonega regional Visitors Center.

We needed an updated resource guide and map for hiking enthusiasts.

Thanks to the YTC volunteers Tom Lamb, Murray Lamb and Robert Fuller, we now have a nine-page hiking guide to enjoy our beautiful mountain terrain for a day, long weekend, vacation or repeat visitor challenge to return and complete the full 22-trail list.”

The “Hiking Trails” guide is available at the visitors center and for download at Dahlonega. org under “What To Do: Hiking & Backpacking.”

REVIEWS, 10-11

Welcome to the summer doldrums.

“The Purge” seeks to follow in the footsteps of 1970s science fiction, but then becomes predictable and boring.

Like classic sci-fi movies, “The Purge” offers plenty of social commentary, but it’s all very broad and delivered with a blunt, incessant blow to the head.

“The Internship” brings Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson back together trying to grow up again, this time as interns with Google. Beyond being a disposable comedy that inspires almost no feelings, good or bad, it becomes highly offensive by glossing over a generation’s economic angst with lame pep talks.

Duo attempts to grow up, falls short ‘The Internship’ Starring: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne, John Goodman Rated: PG-13, for sexuality, some crude humor, partying and language Runtime: 1 hour, 59 minutes Bottom line: Stay home and watch YouTube videos instead

JEFF MARKER jeffmarker@rocketmail.com

Film Review Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are back in theaters trying to grow up again, and the result is about as good as the previous 10 times they’ve attempted it.

Vaughn and Wilson play salesmen Billy and Nick, who lose their jobs and try to reinvent themselves via an internship program with Google. They and three other interns are assigned to a team led by a junior Google employee. The teams compete at various challenges, and the members of the team with the most points at the end of the summer will get permanent jobs at Google.

All of the characters fit a broad stereotype: trying to be cool by citing pop references Lile (Josh Brener); detached loner Stuart (Dylan O’Brien); latent sex kitten Neha (Tiya Sircar); and achievementobsessed Asian Yo-Yo (Tobit Owen Wilson, left, and Vince Vaughn in a scene from “The Internship.”

With one lame pep talk after another, most of them from the increasingly hard to tolerate Vaughn. The whole motormouth thing has grown so thin at this point, and in this context it’s condescending.

The real problem doesn’t lie with the filmmakers’ class politics, though. The movie’s vapid treatment of its own themes is just a symptom of the script’s lack of development.

This movie is so starved for ideas that we are treated to a very long Quidditch match (yes, really) and an even longer scene in a strip club.

The other offensive thing here is “The Internship” plays like a two-hour corporate video for Google. Much of the movie was shot in and around the Google campus. Their logo is visible in almost every scene of the second and third acts, we see and hear the names of all their products multiple times, and the company is portrayed as the best place to work in America — and we know it has been labeled as such because the movie tells us.

Product placement is a fact of Hollywood filmmaking, but this is an egregious sales pitch for a company that does not need help raising its profile.

Ironically, though, the movie also stereotypes anyone who works in the technology industry as a backward geek. The characterizations aren’t even as round as the characters on “The Big Bang Theory,” which, by the way, is much funnier than this movie.

“The Internship” is a frustrating viewing experience. It occasionally hits a sweet note, but then immediately becomes painfully unfunny again. It’s a massive waste of talent and the time of anyone who goes to see it.

‘Purge’ fails to deliver on promises

go o movies

JEFF MARKER jeffmarker@rocketmail.com

Film Review “The Purge” suffers from an identity crisis.

For a while, it wants to be the grandchild of 1970s science fiction, an era of one-note concepts played out in thoughtprovoking, although usually schlocky, ways.

The setup is intriguing and, like its sci-fi forebears, pushes contemporary social buttons.

In 2022, America lives under a new Constitution (the movie repeatedly refers to the “new Founding Fathers”) that establishes an annual purge.

home invasion horror movie that’s nowhere near as interesting as “Funny Games,” “Straw Dogs” or even “The Strangers.”

Most of the scenes play out like this. A member of the Sandin family is attacked by one of the purgers (I guess that’s what we call them). The purger has the Sandin pinned to the floor and raises a big blade.

Just before the purger kills the Sandin, some other character shoots the purger from behind.

This happens so many times that I lost count. It quickly becomes redundant and boring.

The movie recovers a bit in the end by throwing in a twist and returning to the questions it initially raises. Just don’t expect anything insightful or terribly intelligent.

Like classic sci-fi movies, “The Purge” offers plenty of social commentary, but it’s all very broad and delivered with a blunt, incessant blow to the

head.

“The Purge” is a decent B-movie that will satisfy those who like to purge their violent tendencies with an occasional horror movie. But it ultimately fails to deliver on its promises.

Does ‘After Earth’ end reign of Mr. Box Office?

LOS ANGELES — It used to be that if a summer flick starred Will Smith, it was a guaranteed moneymaker: First place at the box office, maybe a franchise in the making.

But the 44-year-old actor’s latest film opened with a thud.

“After Earth,” a futuristic action-adventure co-starring Smith’s 14-year-old son, Jaden, debuted in third place, collecting a disappointing $27.5 million during the weekend.

“It’s tough because we’re very proud of the film,” said Sony’s president of worldwide distribution, Rory Bruer.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood. com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included: 1. “Fast & Furious 6,” Universal, $35,164,440, 3,686 locations, $9,540 average, $171,003,965, two weeks.

2. “Now You See Me,” Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment, $29,254,674, 2,925 locations, $10,002 average, $29,254,674, one week.
