He was about 6 years old when his EP )F XBT BCPVU ZFBST PME XIFO IJT parents started bringing him to their QBSFOUT TUBSUFE CSJOHJOH IJN UP UIFJS favorite country bar in Denver to hear GBWPSJUF DPVOUSZ CBS JO %FOWFS UP IFBS their favorite steel guitar player. They'd UIFJS GBWPSJUF TUFFM HVJUBS QMBZFS 5IFZ E sit him right on the bar, dressed in his TJU IJN SJHIU PO UIF CBS ESFTTFE JO IJT best Roy Rogers cowboy outfit. He took CFTU 3PZ 3PHFST DPXCPZ PVUmU )F UPPL steel guitar lessons at 6, and was playing TUFFM HVJUBS MFTTPOT BU BOE XBT QMBZJOH in clubs himself at 16.

They soon enlisted GPSN UIFJS PXO CBOE 5IFZ TPPO FOMJTUFE

"Sometimes" is a mostly sugar-sweet i4PNFUJNFTw JT B NPTUMZ TVHBS TXFFU ballad. The tonally cool chords in "The CBMMBE 5IF UPOBMMZ DPPM DIPSET JO i5IF Gift" make for a short, dreamy gem.

JUT XFMDPNF The bare elements are there on "When 5IF CBSF FMFNFOUT BSF UIFSF PO i8IFO It's Gone"; Leavitt just needs to build out *U T (POFw -FBWJUU KVTU OFFET UP CVJME PVU the layers of his work.

Meisner, who Young had known from .FJTOFS XIP :PVOH IBE LOPXO GSPN playing clubs in Denver.

QMBZJOH DMVCT JO %FOWFS The band had a different name every 5IF CBOE IBE B EJGGFSFOU OBNF FWFSZ week for a while, mostly playing at the XFFL GPS B XIJMF NPTUMZ QMBZJOH BU UIF Troubadour in Los Angeles, honing its 5SPVCBEPVS JO -PT "OHFMFT IPOJOH JUT country-rock style. Young said that before DPVOUSZ SPDL TUZMF :PVOH TBJE UIBU CFGPSF shows, the band would throw names in TIPXT UIF CBOE XPVME UISPX OBNFT JO a hat, pick one and use that name that B IBU QJDL POF BOE VTF UIBU OBNF UIBU night.

OJHIU One night, their band manager threw in 0OF OJHIU UIFJS CBOE NBOBHFS UISFX JO the name Pogo (he looked like the comic UIF OBNF 1PHP IF MPPLFE MJLF UIF DPNJD strip character of the same name). That TUSJQ DIBSBDUFS PG UIF TBNF OBNF 5IBU name stuck, and the band used it for a OBNF TUVDL BOE UIF CBOE VTFE JU GPS B while - before the comic-strip folks sued XIJMF o CFGPSF UIF DPNJD TUSJQ GPMLT TVFE them. So they changed it to Poco.

UIFN 4P UIFZ DIBOHFE JU UP 1PDP With Poco, Young continues to make 8JUI 1PDP :PVOH DPOUJOVFT UP NBLF new music and play old favorites. He says OFX NVTJD BOE QMBZ PME GBWPSJUFT )F TBZT the thing that has helped the band surUIF UIJOH UIBU IBT IFMQFE UIF CBOE TVS vive all these years is the "musicianship" WJWF BMM UIFTF ZFBST JT UIF iNVTJDJBOTIJQw of the people who have been in it.

In ‘Carnage,’ helicopter parents are out for blood

By ROGER MOORE McClatchy Newspapers

They try to keep things civil. It’s what enlightened urban bourgeoisie do. Yeah, one family’s son whacked the other family’s son in the face with a stick in the heat of an argument at a New York City park. But they’re 11. And we’ve seen the altercation under the opening credits. No sense losing one’s cool over that.

But “Carnage” is all about losing one’s cool. Two couples – four parents – meet and over 75 increasingly testy and often hilarious minutes, they charm, bicker, cajole, parse words, reason with and bait one another in this very entertaining Roman Polanski film based on a French play.

Alliances shift as characters attempt to defuse the debate.

It’s one couple versus the other couple, then one husband and the other wife against the other two, then wives team up against husbands. Yasmina Reza constructed a delicious “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” for the age of helicopter parents – hovering over their kids, obsessing over everything.

One minute, it’s the guys (John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz) shrugging, “Boys will be boys,” the next it’s the victim’s mom (Jodie Foster) shrieking “Their son is a threat to Homeland Security!”

Then the guys mix it up, the housewares seller (Reilly) pushing the buttons of the corporate lawyer (Waltz). The kids issue fades into the background as egos and value systems clash.

“I held my own, right?”

Was the one boy “armed” or just “carrying a stick?” The wording matters to the lawyer and his businesswoman wife (Kate Winslet). That’s because the other parents are insisting on their boy’s victimhood.

Michael (Reilly) tries to agree with everybody at once. His wife, Penelope (Foster), is a shrill idealist who wants to

REVIEW “CARNAGE,” starring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly. Directed by Roman Polanski.

Rated R for language. Running time: 1:20 hold the whole world accountable. Alan (Waltz) has this crisis at the office and a cellphone that won’t stop ringing. And Nancy (Winslet) would love to find common ground, get this meeting over with and have the boys shake hands.

“So many parents just take their child’s side,” she says, affecting a conciliatory and superior air. Then Penelope says something to bring things back to a boil: “I don’t understand how you can be so uninvolved!”

Foster is the most wound-up of the players, but there isn’t a bad turn in this quartet. Waltz’s imperious, crude, cruel lawyer stands out. He’s riveting as a guy who thinks of himself as some sort of macho Wall Street killer, a fellow with a gift for speaking truths that none of the other three want to hear.

“Carnage” is very close to a filmed play. But Polanski, filming this mostly in close-ups and tight, tense two-shots, plops these four into a crucible and grinds away.

And once the coffee’s been sipped and the whiskey has been uncorked, ugly truths about prejudices and pets and parenting, couples with secrets, men married to their work and women married to their causes, pour out.

There’s no literal blood, no entrails or visible battle wounds. But they titled this one right. When these parents meet, argue and part, what’s we’re left to ponder is a field littered with the dead and wounded – carnage at its most personal and emotional.

I have finally had a chance to finish the honey beers. Some UP mOJTI UIF IPOFZ CFFST 4PNF PG UIFN BSF JOUFOTF TP ZPV DBO U of them are intense, so you can't down them one after another.

EPXO UIFN POF BGUFS BOPUIFS 5IF GBWPSJUF IPOFZ CFFS BNPOH The favorite honey beer among my tasters - and they varied over NZ UBTUFST o BOE UIFZ WBSJFE PWFS UIF QBTU NPOUI GSPN B DSPXE PG the past month from a crowd of seven to just me - was Brooklyn TFWFO UP KVTU NF o XBT #SPPLMZO Local 2, a strong, dark Belgian -PDBM B TUSPOH EBSL #FMHJBO ale with 9 percent alcohol that BMF XJUI QFSDFOU BMDPIPM UIBU cost about $8.50 for a 750-milliliter DPTU BCPVU GPS B NJMMJMJUFS bottle.

CPUUMF The honey was just a background 5IF IPOFZ XBT KVTU B CBDLHSPVOE in this fruity, spicy and complex JO UIJT GSVJUZ TQJDZ BOE DPNQMFY beer with a wonderfully thick body.

CFFS XJUI B XPOEFSGVMMZ UIJDL CPEZ The Belgian dark candy sugar 5IF #FMHJBO EBSL DBOEZ TVHBS combines with the wildflower DPNCJOFT XJUI UIF XJMEnPXFS honey. Seven people tasted this IPOFZ 4FWFO QFPQMF UBTUFE UIJT one, and they all loved it.

POF BOE UIFZ BMM MPWFE JU Another favorite that only Nancy "OPUIFS GBWPSJUF UIBU POMZ /BODZ and I tasted was Midas Touch, BOE * UBTUFE XBT .JEBT 5PVDI a handcrafted ancient ale with B IBOEDSBGUFE BODJFOU BMF XJUI 9 percent alcohol from Dogfish QFSDFOU BMDPIPM GSPN %PHmTI Head made with barley, honey, )FBE NBEF XJUI CBSMFZ IPOFZ white Muscat grapes and saffron.

TBGGSPO *U XBT TMJHIUMZ DMPVEZ BOE saffron. It was slightly cloudy and had a rich, complex flavor that was IBE B SJDI DPNQMFY nBWPS UIBU XBT not overpowering.

OPU PWFSQPXFSJOH Blithering Idiot from Weyerbach#MJUIFSJOH *EJPU GSPN 8FZFSCBDI FS XBT TP TXFFU UIBU JU XBT PWFS er was so sweet that it was overpowering. The flavor was complex QPXFSJOH 5IF nBWPS XBT DPNQMFY o BOE BU QFSDFOU BMDPIPM CJH - and at 11.1 percent alcohol, big - but the sweetness overpowered o CVU UIF TXFFUOFTT PWFSQPXFSFE everything else.

FWFSZUIJOH FMTF Fuller's Organic Honey Dew Ale 'VMMFS T 0SHBOJD )POFZ %FX "MF IBT B IPOFZ nBWPS XJUIPVU CFJOH has a honey flavor without being overly sweet. It comes from EngPWFSMZ TXFFU *U DPNFT GSPN &OH land, is 5 percent alcohol, and has a MBOE JT QFSDFOU BMDPIPM BOE IBT B nice clear color and carbonation. It OJDF DMFBS DPMPS BOE DBSCPOBUJPO *U costs $4.25 for a 16.9-ounce bottle, DPTUT GPS B PVODF CPUUMF and is a beer you can just relax BOE JT B CFFS ZPV DBO KVTU SFMBY with.

XJUI We also tasted two braggots. A 8F BMTP UBTUFE UXP CSBHHPUT " braggot is an ancient Celtic drink CSBHHPU JT BO BODJFOU $FMUJD ESJOL from at least the 12th century, and GSPN BU MFBTU UIF UI DFOUVSZ BOE was mentioned in "The CanterXBT NFOUJPOFE JO i5IF $BOUFS bury Tales."

NJYUVSF PG NFBE BOE CFFS Brother Adam's Bragget Ale from #SPUIFS "EBN T #SBHHFU "MF GSPN Atlantic Brewing in Bar Harbor "UMBOUJD #SFXJOH JO #BS )BSCPS was 11.8 percent alcohol.

SFTJTUBOU UP B QBSBTJUF UIBU IBE resistant to a parasite that had EFWBTUBUFE CFF DPMPOJFT devastated bee colonies. #VU UIF IPOFZ JO UIJT CFFS XBT But the honey in this beer was TP EPNJOBOU BOE NBEF B ESJOL TP so dominant and made a drink so TXFFU UIBU FWFO XJUI B PVODF sweet that even with a 22-ounce bottle divided among seven people, CPUUMF EJWJEFE BNPOH TFWFO QFPQMF TPNF PG VT IBE USPVCMF mOJTIJOH JU some of us had trouble finishing it.

We liked Old Danish Braggot 8F MJLFE 0ME %BOJTI #SBHHPU from Dansk Mjot in Denmark betGSPN %BOTL .KPU JO %FONBSL CFU ter.

It came in a 750-milliliter bottle and cost $16.

BOE DPTU The Honey Exchange sells Honey 5IF )POFZ &YDIBOHF TFMMT )POFZ Brown, which is a beer you can buy #SPXO XIJDI JT B CFFS ZPV DBO CVZ practically anywhere, brewed by QSBDUJDBMMZ BOZXIFSF CSFXFE CZ Dundee, a company on the bor%VOEFF B DPNQBOZ PO UIF CPS derline of craft and mass-market EFSMJOF PG DSBGU BOE NBTT NBSLFU beers.

SBEJUJPOT JT POF PG UIPTF QMBDFT * WF raditions is one of those places I've ESJWFO CZ BMNPTU EBJMZ TJODF JU PQFOFE driven by almost daily since it opened ZFBST BHP CVU OFWFS TUPQQFE JO 12 years ago, but never stopped in.

5IBU DIBOHFE PO B SFDFOU BGUFSOPPO That changed on a recent afternoon XIFO * QPQQFE JO GPS B ESJOL 0G DPVSTF when I popped in for a drink. Of course, * NBEF UIF NJTUBLF PG ESPQQJOH JO SJHIU I made the mistake of dropping in right CFGPSF UIF QMBDF CSFBLT BU Q N CFGPSF before the place breaks at 3 p.m. before SFPQFOJOH BU GPS EJOOFS TP UIF QMBDF reopening at 5 for dinner, so the place XBT FNQUZ was empty.

5IF XBJUSFTT XFMDPNFE NF JO IPX The waitress welcomed me in, however, and I took a seat at the bar. She FWFS BOE * UPPL B TFBU BU UIF CBS 4IF asked what I'd like to drink, and I was BTLFE XIBU * E MJLF UP ESJOL BOE * XBT stumped for a minute. They don't have TUVNQFE GPS B NJOVUF 5IFZ EPO U IBWF a specialty menu, but can make pretty B TQFDJBMUZ NFOV CVU DBO NBLF QSFUUZ much anything you'd like -just no frozen NVDI BOZUIJOH ZPV E MJLF o KVTU OP GSP[FO concoctions.

UP TJQ BOE UBLF JO UIF TDFOFSZ Traditions is a popular Italian restau5SBEJUJPOT JT B QPQVMBS *UBMJBO SFTUBV rant in the area.

OFX DVTUPNFST UISPVHI UIFJS EPPST The small space is divided almost in 5IF TNBMM TQBDF JT EJWJEFE BMNPTU JO half between the dining room and bar IBMG CFUXFFO UIF EJOJOH SPPN BOE CBS area.

PWFSMPPLJOH 1FQQFSFMM 4RVBSF Even with the afternoon sun shining in, &WFO XJUI UIF BGUFSOPPO TVO TIJOJOH JO the place felt dark. And even with the bar UIF QMBDF GFMU EBSL "OE FWFO XJUI UIF CBS empty, it also felt cozy. It seems like an FNQUZ JU BMTP GFMU DP[Z *U TFFNT MJLF BO ideal place to gather some local friends JEFBM QMBDF UP HBUIFS TPNF MPDBM GSJFOET for a fun, relatively budget-friendly GPS B GVO SFMBUJWFMZ CVEHFU GSJFOEMZ night out.

OFXT BOE SFMBY The busiest times are Thursday, Friday 5IF CVTJFTU UJNFT BSF 5IVSTEBZ 'SJEBZ and Saturday nights.
