After a three-year hiatus the Jewel Heart Benefit is back. In the early 1990s, Jewel Heart members Philip Glass and the late Allen Ginsberg began a tradition of gathering musicians and poets for Jewel Heart benefits in Ann Arbor. Past artists who have donated their time to the benefits included Patti Smith, Michael Stipe, Natalie Merchant, Paula Cole and Ziggy Marley. The tradition continues this year with yet another eclectic blend of musicians, including Shawn Colvin, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Daniel Roumain, Califone, and The Paybacks. The benefit will begin at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Michigan Theatre, Ann Arbor. Tickets are $15 to $50, available through www.ticketmaster.com.
Come in costume and experience some eerie sights and sounds of Halloween, 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 29 at Wildwood Preserve Metropark’s Manor House. Children ages 4 to 12 will gobble up spooky refreshments, create ghoulish crafts and participate in ghastly activities. Tickets $5 children, $2.50 adults.

JEWEL HEART RETURNS Trick or treat. Perhaps a little bit from column A and a little bit from column B. Since we won’t be treated to a full moon this beggars’ night, I thought I’d whip one up for you. Take one shot of an old graveyard and sprinkle it with a touch of fog and mist. Drop in an extra large moon and garnish with some cloud cover.

Tearing my hair out
I
cut my hair last week. Thanks to my hatred for photos, you’ve been seeing a three-year-old picture of me every week in this space. Meanwhile, I’d grown my hair well past my shoulders. I was forced to start wearing a ponytail, which made me feel like some 1980s ex-preppie, or let hair fall in my face, get in my food and obscure my vision. Practicality won out over my rock ‘n’ roll scruples, and it’s gone now. I look a lot more like this photo now, which hopefully means I can avoid having another one taken until my next grand follicular experiment. If the males in my family are any indication, I’ll keep the hair I didn’t chop until I’m old, but I can look forward to it graying any day now. Especially if I keep getting e-mails from people who read an entire column and pick out only the pieces they agree with to actually digest. Several fellow palefaces seemed to think that when I said “those few destructive rioting people, many of whom happened to be black, suck” last week, I meant “all black people are awful, brick-throwing ne’er-do-wells.” If you got that impression yourself, there are some wonderful remedial reading courses at our local community colleges. You might wanna try one. It’s America — you’re free to hate if you want to. But don’t assume I want anything to do with the sad little bucket of bile you call your life, just because we more-or-less match when we’re naked. Thanks to the people who e-mailed or stopped me on the street who did get it. You guys give me hope that this might all work out someday.
Get off the couch
Let’s talk about some rock, shall we? Friday night, the Underground hosts the Twistin’ Tarantulas, a band whose jumpblues rockabilly gumbo has had them touring full time for something like a decade, stopping only to record three albums of original material and place some songs in movies and MTV shows. The world is sorely lacking bands who can, and will, cover Tom Waits and Motorhead in the same night. Get out and support this one. Saturday, head to Mickey Finn’s at 5 p.m. for their Halloween party/art and music expo. There are a buttload of bands and prizes for the best costume. If you don’t stay there for the duration, head back to the Underground for Koufax — for once, they’re not playing in Bowling Green, and we can soak up their throughbeing-cool early ’80s pop angst without leaving the county. Bonus points if you attend this show dressed as a) someone from “Pretty In Pink,” b) a Goonie or c) Elvis Costello.
