Leaning Slightly to the Left First, a note: While based on this week and last, it would appear that this section of the paper is quickly becoming a space for me to complain about people who contact me here at the Weekly, I’m going to have something positive to say next week. I’m relatively sure I will, at least. Now, on to the complaining. I welcome your comments, suggestions about what we can do differently, kudos, insults, whatever. Believe it or not, even the unpleasant recognition still lets me know that someone’s reading the paper or online product. However, you can spare yourself the trouble if you’re planning on telling me that the Weekly is too liberal. Yes, generally, we’re going to report on things from the perspective of left-of-center. We usually endorse Democratic candidates. I think “TS Beauty Jada” who advertises in the back voted for Obama, although most of her clients probably voted for Romney. None of this is news, really. Your complaints will not likely change anything. However, we’re not taking notes or editorial advice from local Democrats or leftist activists. In fact, they’re generally irritated with us as well. It’s sort of the nature of this business. You can’t please everyone, but if you are, you’re doing something wrong. I still believe that the Tucson Weekly is essential reading for anyone who cares about this city, regardless of party leaning. Our news items are extensively researched, which is more than can be said for the average consumable unit of right wing media. If you can spot an actual fact during an hour of the Jon Justice show, they should probably give you a prize. The Arizona Daily Independent is more like a parody of a news source than anything. Even if you ignore the first 13 pages this week, the rest is largely politics-free and full of useful information. What to do, where to eat, what to listen to; it’s all in there, past the stuff that might offend our right-wing pals. If there’s nothing there that you’re interested in, there’s not much I can do for you. Good luck being no fun at all.

hirteen things I would like to see happen in ’13: 1. I’ll get the perverse one out of the way first. I’d like Bill Maher and Ann Coulter to be on some debate panel and suddenly get the warm, trembling thighs for each other, like Frasier and Lilith did on Cheers. They could become the Bizarro version of Mary Matalin and James Carville. If you could harness the self-loathing, you could power an entire city for a year. 2. Just like every year, I’d love for the University of Arizona football team to go to the Rose Bowl. Fortunately for me, when I work out really hard in my superhot garage in mid-August, I’m able to slide into alternate universes. Anyway, in SidewaysWorld, the UA did not lose 10-9 to Oregon in 1994. And then there was the perfect season in 1998, and one of my favorites was the time that the UA students had enough collective common sense not to spill out of the stands before the end of the game in that Thursday night classic a few years back against Oregon. However, not everybody can work out really hard in my garage in mid-August, so I’d like Arizona to go to the Rose Bowl in this world. 3. I really, really hope that Iron Man 3 doesn’t suck. The original in the series is my favorite comic book movie ever, but the second one sucked a moving trailer hitch. 4. I think it would be great if somebody were to stumble across some authentic evidence that President Barack Obama was NOT born in the United States and then have nobody believe it. That would be hilarious. 5. Along those lines, how ’bout if we go an entire year without somebody from Arizona embarrassing all the rest of us on the national stage? Like maybe sheriffs could just do their damn jobs and our governor could stick her finger up her nose. 6. I’d like Adele to record 24. 7. Perhaps Steve Farley can find enough votes in the state Legislature to get a law against texting while driving passed. Currently, 39 states and the District of Columbia have total bans against the insanely selfish and dangerous practice and five other states have at least partial bans. That leaves Arizona as one of only six states still stuck in the “Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me?!” category. They had a thing on the Today show the other day that showed that even in those states that have the bans, the violations are all misdemeanors, even when they lead to a death. One teenage girl was texting and blew through a crosswalk, hitting a mother and child. The 2-year-old kid died and the driver got—are you ready?—five days in jail. Another teen girl killed a husband and father who was out for his daily

run; she got 45 days in jail. A third caused a multiple-car pileup that resulted in a death and she got probation. A mother who was interviewed said, “What if it was your (child) who made one mistake? Would you want that to ruin their entire life?” If I had even the slightest suspicion that my kids were texting while driving, they would either not have a cellphone or I would install that new app that prevents a phone from being used in a moving car (except to call 911). That’s called taking responsibility. It took America decades, during which hundreds of thousands were slaughtered on the highways, before we started treating drunk driving as the wanton felonious behavior that it is. Let’s not wait even one more year for this, and make the penalties harsh. And for all you blockheads who would jump to co-sponsor a bill to allow grenade launchers to be taken into churches but then turn around and vote against a texting-while-driving bill, claiming that there are too many laws on the books, please refer to No. 5 in this column. 8. Hey, maybe, just for fun, they could legalize marijuana nationally and change the national motto from “E Pluribus Unum” to “Oh wow, man!” 9. Have the president tell the Republicans to bite him on the debt-limit thing. We’ll see just how reckless and politically suicidal the hard-liners are. If they’re crazy enough to have the nation default on its debts just to score a couple points with the nut-bird crowd, an absolute Everest of dookie will roll down upon them. 10. Wouldn’t it be great if the new Star Trek movie would spark a renewed interest in space exploration so that America could again become a nation of people who dream and strive and reach? 11. I’d like Congress to make a serious run at immigration reform this year. There’s no way they’ll be able to do it next year, what with the seemingly endless line of Tea Party loons ready to challenge sitting Republicans in primary races. 12. Maybe the United States can go an entire day without anyone dying from gun violence. And then the NRA can take credit for it. 13. I would really like to stop procrastinating. I mean, this column should have come out the first week of January. Come to think of it, this item should have been at the top of the list …

SERRAGLIO OPINION

Our columnist won’t be getting a flu shot this (or any) season HIGHTOWER BY JIM HIGHTOWER

A BIPARTISAN RIPOFF

BY RANDY SERRAGLIO, rserraglio@tucsonweekly.com

f you believed the media hype, you’d think we’re headed for a 1918 pandemic this flu season. Breathless accounts of imminent mass death and overloaded public health agencies were accompanied by dramatic images of children wearing masks. The clarion call arose: “Vaccinate or die!” Except, not so much. (Amazing, isn’t it? This sort of morbid media hysteria has never misled us before.) More recent reports point to a “moderate” flu season that just seems worse because last year’s was so mild. I would argue that making it seem worse serves the profit margins of the various entities that do so, but that’s just a silly conspiracy theory, right? Part of my snarkitude here derives from the fact that I have the flu. Or, at least I’m pretty damn sure I do. Some of what people chalk up as the flu is really just “flulike symptoms”—a bad cold or some other greebly—which makes it impossible to determine how many people actually get—or die from—the flu.

As Will Rogers said years ago, “This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.” That’s how I felt when Congress held a rare New Year’s Day session to pass an even-rarer bipartisan agreement. I’m not one to moan about the lack of bipartisanship in Washington, because when the two parties actually agree on something, it usually involves either putting America into war But I know my own body, and I haven’t felt like this in 20 or handing out goodies to big corporations years—like, achy-shaky, head-exploding, lung-constricting, — or both. fever-and-chills, hacking-and-snorting CRAP—not since On the surface, this Congressional getthat time I passed a plastic water bottle full of cheap vodka together looked okay, for they met to pass around the back of a Cleveland-bound Greyhound on the the “American Taxpayer Relief Act,” widely way home for Christmas break. touted as a deal to benefit the middle My current condition was not nearly so well earned, but class. Indeed, there were some good gains was the result of an easily quantifiable “perfect storm” of for regular folks in the 157-page bill — but circumstances that lowered my resistance and exposed me look out, the baby had the hammer! at just the wrong moment. Infection (and crankiness), mine. Sure enough, the bipartisan deal was ridIf the vaccination zealots are to be believed, I got just dled with huge handouts to corporate interwhat I deserved, because I didn’t get a flu shot. ests that hardly need relief. Goldman Sachs I’m not the kind of person who goes in for much in the for example, one of the richest banks on way of modern health care. I can count the number of times Wall Street, got a juicy boost from Section I’ve taken ibuprofen over the past 20 years on the fingers of 328. It extends for another year the taxone hand, and antibiotics, zero. I’m of the firm philosophical exempt financing that was intended to help belief that given a clean, nutritious diet, a sensible lifestyle small businesses in New York’s “Liberty and the wide availability of sufficiently effective traditional Zone” rebuild after the devastation of the Sept. 11 crashbombings. Forget small businesses — extending the Liberty Zone tax break meant THIS MODERN WORLD By Tom Tomorrow that the massive new headquarters building that Goldman is erecting in Manhattan will get a reported $1.6 billion in tax-free financing. The corporate giveaways in this bipartisan bill will take $68 billion out of our public treasury this year alone. Some of the breaks will stay in effect for 10 years. Now that’s relief! As Sen. John McCain said of this ripoff: “It’s hard to think of anything that could feed the cynicism of the American people more than larding up must-pass emergency legislation with giveaways to special interests and campaign contributors.”

remedies, there’s no reason to contribute to the pharmaceutical industry’s fantasy of a United States of Addicts. The vaccinazis say this makes me a pariah who’s responsible for killing babies and old people. In fact, they’re aggressively attempting to make my philosophical choices untenable, if not illegal, by spending millions of dollars lobbying decision-makers to mandate flu vaccine and deny people such things as jobs and health care (how’s that for circular logic?) simply for refusing to be vaccinated. Since when is it a crime to get sick? Since it interferes with medical industry profits. Vaccines have undeniably served to advance public health rather miraculously in the past century. When it came to the ravages of diseases such as smallpox and polio, the obvious risks of injecting yourself with small amounts of deadly viruses laced with various nasty chemicals turned out to be well worth it. But there are some key differences with influenza, which is not a single disease, but an endlessly mutating strand of different diseases that will never be eradicated. More important (from Big Pharma’s perspective), unlike other vaccines, flu vaccine is administered annually on a lifelong basis, which spells many billions of dollars in potential profits. Never mind that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim only about 60 percent effectiveness at best—a vastly inflated estimate, according to some recent meta-analyses—or that the vaccine itself can make people sick. The vast majority of the CDC’s influenza Web page is devoted to promoting the vaccine, while way down at the bottom in fine print there’s one tiny link titled “Good Health Habits for Prevention.” And never mind Big Pharma’s long, sordid record of gaming regulatory processes, falsifying studies, covering up dangerous products, escaping culpability for adverse reactions and strong-arming and bribing doctors and public officials. Really, why would anyone of sound mind expect vaccines to be any safer than the rest of the poison peddled by these criminal corporations? Unfortunately, our nation is not of sound mind. We’re so conditioned to reach for a drug every time we face the slightest inconvenience—regardless of the risks or side effects—that we bend over and say, “Stick it to me!” We think it’s our imperial right to eat fast-food dog shit three times a day with no ill effects and still raise a four-hour boner on demand. I say fuck the flu shot. And fuck Pharma and its army of lobbyists and paid shills, with their guilt-tripping, bodyinvading bullshit. If I die of the flu, it’ll be one less human on this ridiculously overburdened planet. There. I feel better already.

OPINION

That’s When He’ll Reach for His Revolver

BY JOEL FEINMAN

Yet another person who knows nothing about guns writes an article (Danehy, Jan. 3), if he knew anything he would know they are used for hunting, my coworker just took a deer with his last month and as for large magazines, again if he knew anything about guns he would know, because of our bad neighbor down south our state legislature saw fit to make sure we could use them to defend ourselves while out hunting from the bad seeds who come north illegally, which leads me into another repose to a certain mayor who heads down there regularly that is asking for “real” conversation that insists guns are the main problem not mental health. On your many trips down south trying rather than heading north to build financial ties like you should, stop and talk to some of the people down there about how has gun control effected their county with the drug cartels and get back to me on their replies and last but not least, just the mention of our government using nuclear weapons on its own people, makes me to want keep my gun even closer, I know a bit futile but comforting. Paul Cragle

Someone’s Not Happy With Kozachik’s Party Switch He is a liar, a traitor and stuck all the people who voted for him in the back (“Kozachik Jumps to Democratic Party”, The Range, Jan. 11). Of coarse he is a Democrat. Steve K can no more say he jumped ship, than a man who was forced to walk the plank. He has covered up the corruption of the City Council and aided in screwing Tucson out of much needed money for Police and rebuilding our roads. After seeing him throw everyone who voted for him under the bus, how can this man’s wife trust him. Obviously he has no morals, ethics, or principles, he is 100% for himself. So happy to see him finally do his first honest thing in the last 4 years by getting out of the Repulican Party. Now the failure of the City of Tucson is 100% Democrat. Enjoy no Police, high crime, no jobs, lost business and busted roads. “Roger D. Score” TucsonWeekly.com commenter Editor’s note: These letters are presented unedited in their original format.

Introducing...

Reflecting on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision

hen Norma McCorvey, a 22-year-old woman living in Dallas County, Texas sued Henry Wade, the Dallas County District Attorney on March 3, 1970, she used the name “Jane Roe.” This is a placeholder name, a pseudonym for a woman whose given name is not the most important or relevant thing about her. Norma McCorvey’s name was not the most important thing about her lawsuit. What was more important was that she was pregnant, and Texas law severely restricted what she and every other Texas woman could and could not do with their bodies. Jane Roe was essentially every Texas woman. But Texas was not the only state that outlawed abortion in 1970. Jane Roe was also every Iowa woman, and Connecticut woman, and Arizona woman. Pre-Roe anti-abortion laws did not just limit what women could do with their bodies. In different ways, these statutes also controlled and criminalized the reproductive choices men could make as well. In 1970, a couple who was in love and committed to each other, but who felt they could not raise a family properly, could not have a practical discussion about whether they wanted to bring a child into the world. Jane Roe was not only every Texas woman. She was every man and woman in the United States who wanted to be free to communicate and decide with their partner what to do with their bodies, their futures, and their lives. We were all Jane Roe in 1970, and we were all Jane Roe three years later, on Jan. 22, 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court held in Roe v. Wade that the Fourteenth Amendment’s conception of personal liberty encompasses a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. As the Supreme Court acknowledged in Roe, the question of when life begins is an immensely complicated one, and the judiciary cannot be expected to settle a question that medicine, philosophy, and theology have been unable to answer with any consensus. The law is a blunt instrument, best suited for situations that contain little moral ambiguity. Conversely, family planning and the needs and capabilities of potential mothers and fathers are infinitely subjective, and complicated by gender, religion, race, and class. This is part of the reason the Roe Court decided that government should not insert itself into the highly personal patient-physician relationship, and decide on its own what is best for every woman’s body. The anniversary of Roe v. Wade reminds us this is as true today as it was in 1970. Sadly, forty years after Roe was decided, state legislatures continue to attack women’s access to family planning services, despite the fact that a majority of Americans support access to safe and legal abortion. National political figures claim that women who are raped should not have the option of an abortion, because pregnancy due to “legitimate rape” is a nearimpossibility, and when such pregnancies do occur they are “something that God intended.” This is the worst kind of pater-

nalism, and it voices an authoritarian sentiment — still prevalent in many state capitols — that government should monitor and control the most personal decisions we make. The effects of such government interference will not be felt uniformly. Poor, young women of color have been and continue to be the most impacted by governments’ attempts to control reproductive decision-making. But if Roe is rolled back, they will not be the only ones who will suffer. Our history shows that when the poor and the vulnerable are oppressed, the rest of us are not far behind. Jane Roe’s lawsuit stands for the proposition that all Americans, no matter their backgrounds, have an inalienable right to determine for themselves what is best for their families and their futures. That proposition endures. None of us are willing to give up control of our bodies. All of us insist on leading our own lives. Jane Roe insisted on being treated like a person, not a vessel, not an object. We are all Jane Roe.

Democrats reopen the gun debate at the Arizona Legislature

SURPRISE, SURPRISE

Limited Firepower BY JIM NINTZEL, jnintzel@tucsonweekly.com JAN

emocrats in both the state Senate and House of Representatives unveiled packages last week aimed at reducing gun violence by expanding background checks, limiting the capacity of ammo clips and increasing funding for services for the mentally ill. But with Gov. Jan Brewer opposed to new gun restrictions and Republicans controlling both chambers of the statehouse, it remains to be seen if the legislation has much chance of advancing. Sen. Linda Lopez, a Democrat who represents Tucson’s south side, introduced her package last week while standing alongside members of the group Arizonans for Gun Safety. “I think the time is ripe,” Lopez says. “After every tragedy we’ve had in the past, from Tucson to the theater in Colorado, the uproar dies down, people say, ‘Oh, this is terrible but we can’t do anything about it,’ and so on.

It’s time to capitalize on that.” Lopez’s plan includes: • A universal background check on gun sales that would require a federally licensed firearms dealer to oversee all gun sales, including sales of used guns between individuals, whether at gun shows or garage sales. • Banning ammunitions clips that could carry more than 10 rounds. • Repealing a recently passed state law that requires cities, towns and counties to sell guns that are confiscated as a result of crimes rather than destroy them. Lopez says she opposes the idea, floated by Attorney General Tom Horne, of having an armed teacher or administrator at each school. “To me, that just furthers the culture of violence,” says Lopez, who would rather see more school counselors hired. “Our counselors in the schools are so overwhelmed, it’s all they can do to just help kids get class schedules, let along try to work with kids who have issues and try to help kids head off these things or get them the services they might need,” Lopez says. Lopez concedes that Brewer has already announced her opposition to new gun restrictions, but said that she hopes that “there are some folks on the other side of the aisle who, as a result of the some of the horrific tragedies that we’ve had, have had their hearts and their minds changed about this.” While she was still crafting the legislation last week, Lopez told the Weekly that she had yet to find any Republican co-sponsors for the legislation.

Most of what Gov. Jan Brewer had to say at the State of the State speech on Monday, Jan. 14, was fairly predictable: She wants more money for the state’s troubled Child Protective Services, she wants more funding for education, she wants a simplified sales tax and she likes handguns. But the big surprise came when Brewer strayed from the prepared speech that had been handed out to the press and announced that she wanted the state to embrace a big expansion of health-care insurance coverage for Arizona’s poorest residents. Brewer called for the state to grab the federal dollars available for insuring people below 133 percent of the federal poverty level, which is a key element of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. “With this move, we will secure a federal revenue stream to cover the cost of the uninsured who already show up in our doctors’ offices and emergency rooms,” Brewer said. As the Weekly reported last week (“Unhealthy Options,” Jan. 10), the AHCCCS expansion requires a relatively low buy-in from the state to unlock a big flow of federal dollars. The Grand Canyon Institute has estimated that it will cost the state roughly $1.5 billion dollars over the next four years—but will bring in nearly $8 billion from the federal government. As of our deadline, the details remain sketchy. Brewer said she’d find the money for the expansion by using a voluntary assessment from hospitals and health providers, but is that a tax increase that requires a two-thirds vote from the Legislature? Will Republicans go along with the expansion as part of a budget deal? If not, is there a way that Brewer can go around them as via executive order? Stay tuned: The expansion is shaping up to be one of the big fights of the session.

KOZ’S BIG SWITCH Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik made the big switch last week: He gave up his membership in the Republican Party and joined the Democrats. Kozachik’s change means that there are now zero Republicans on the Tucson City Council. Given how critical Kozachik had been of the GOP in recent months, the leap wasn’t entirely unexpected. In an open letter to Tucson residents, Kozachik said that “over the past two election cycles it has become clear that the local and Arizona state Republican Party is being driven by a small, but vocal faction that has taken it far to the political right. That faction has effectively taken over the party leadership and is driving an ideological agenda that I do not believe reflects the common will of the community.” When The Skinny spoke with Kozachik over the weekend, he told us that the move had generated “an

KWFM FINALLY MAKES FORMAT TRANSITION When Alan Michaels agreed to a stint on the crazy cruise that is Hudson Communications’ radio station KWFM 1330 AM last spring, it seemed likely that a transition from progressive talk to a more musically driven format was inevitable. That format would be one that Michaels, a 30-year veteran of Tucson radio, would be familiar with, probably with a classic hits bent, featuring music that spanned the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. After months of a progressive talk format, then a month of nothing but Michael Jackson music before transitioning to a menu of holiday classics available in the public domain (perhaps to avoid having to pay licensing royalties), and months after Michaels’ short tenure came to a close, KWFM has finally transitioned to something like what was expected. The latest incarnation of 1330 launched shortly after the first of the year. It’s almost as if the station has attempted to borrow from the KMXZ MixFm 94.9 playbook: a fairly inoffensive mix of ’70s and ’80s hits. And with a bit more R&B tossed into the mix, it’s sort of a hybrid of Journal Broadcasting’s Mix and 106.3 FM The Groove. So far, the advertisers are flocking around. It sounds as though 1330 has three sponsors, and it’s entirely possible that clientele is based largely on trade. When Michaels was in the building, there were rumblings that he might attempt to localize the product, i.e. hire actual DJs for actual shifts. That obviously never materialized, so KWFM has opted for what a lot of music stations are these days anyway: what sounds like an iPod set up near a transmitter site with convenient ID sweeps tossed in on occasion.

KIIM ROLLS TO ANOTHER RATINGS WIN

m.circlekaz.com Offer valid 1/7/13-2/4/13 10 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

The winter 2012 radio ratings period turned out to be a good one for Cumulus Broadcasting, which landed two stations in the top four, according to the latest Arbitron 12-plus compilations. There were no surprises among the top three. Cumulus’ country juggernaut KIIM 99.5 FM led the way with a 10.3 share. It’s the second time in three ratings books that KIIM has bested the 10 level. Journal-owned KMXZ 94.9 FM was second with an 8.4 while top-40 format KRQQ 93.7 FM, owned by Clear Channel, registered a 7.8. Cumulus also held the No. 4 position, with once-struggling 100,000-watt KHYT 107.5 FM. KHYT has climbed steadily since transitioning from classic rock to classic hits. It has topped the 5 threshold in three of the last four books, and now consistently outperforms the market’s lone classic rocker, KLPX 96.1 FM, something it was never able to do when the two went head to head. Although KLPX rebounded with a 5.2, it wasn’t even Lotus Broadcasting’s highest-rated station. That distinction belongs to regional Mexican format KCMT 102.1 FM, which, with its 5.3 share, continues to deliver strong numbers in the Spanish-language demographic. Clear Channel’s urban hit format KOHT 98.3 FM registered a 5.3 as well for its best ratings

cycle in recent memory. Other numbers of note: Not surprisingly, political talk took a significant dip. That’s common following an election, when listeners tend to be politicked out. However, since adding an FM signal, Clear Channel’s talk format KNST 97.1 FM/790 AM has been able to again separate itself from Journal competitor KQTH 104.1 FM. KNST’s 3.7 was its worst number of the year, and lowest rating since it transitioned to FM, but it still more than doubled the 1.8 delivered by KQTH. KQTH lost nearly half of its audience from the fall to winter book. That swing may be more dramatic than actual listenership reflects—the Arbitron diary model is well short of an exact science—but the station’s share has been below 3 in three of the last five books. At its peak, KQTH surpassed KNST when KNST was only on the AM band. And KQTH was trending well in key demos against KNST. But it wasn’t able to hold the gains and the slide began before KNST finally recognized it needed to be on FM. I’m a believer in the potential of talk radio on FM. And if trends in larger markets are any indication, FM talk, most notably FM sports talk, is experiencing major gains. But so far Tucson has largely bucked the trend. On the political talk front (to call a station in this market news/talk is usually laughable because KNST’s Paul Birmingham pretty much carries the newsreporting banner alone among privately owned Tucson radio outlets), KNST seems to be the only station reaping the rewards. Jon Justice remains a popular—and polarizing—figure in the morning position on 104.1, but if KQTH continues to deliver paltry numbers, some examination may be necessary. Sports talk also continues to deliver uninspiring ratings. Journal-owned KFFN 104.9 FM/1490 AM bested KCUB 1290 AM (the station that employs me for UA football and men’s basketball pre- and postgame shows) 0.9 to 0.7. Other lackluster efforts: Clear Channel-owned KMIY 92.9 FM has floundered in the low 3s and experienced no noteworthy improvement since transitioning from its AAA format as The Mountain; modern rocker KFMA 92.1 FM (Lotus) registered a 3.2, a decline of more than a point from its fall numbers; and Cumulusowned top-40 experiment KSZR 97.5 FM has yet to take hold. It checked in with a 12-plus number of 1.5. It’s important to note that Arbitron has gotten rather pissy about how it calibrates ratings. You have to subscribe to the service to show up in the numbers. That’s why the NPR affiliate KUAZ 89.1 FM isn’t included, even though it routinely garners listenership among the top four in the market. And why numbers aren’t available for a well-run AM talker like KVOI 1030, the addition of Michael Savage notwithstanding. And why we don’t know whether a total of 33, or 36, listeners are tuning in to whatever 1330 is doing this week.

Mark Kelly talks about plans to fight against gun violence

Searching for Solutions BY JIM NINTZEL, jnintzel@tucsonweekly.com ast week, on the two-year anniversary of the shooting rampage that left six dead and 13 wounded in Tucson, Gabby Giffords and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, announced that they were launching Americans for Responsible Solutions, a political action committee designed to “encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership by communicating directly with the constituents that elect them.” The Weekly talked with Kelly about plans for the new organization.

STEVE

It was hard to walk into a house crowded with people and every time you turned around, you walked into a couple who lost their first-grader in a classroom. And there were parents, brothers and sisters of the adults who died, too. It was very sad. We certainly don’t have any answers for them about how this could happen or why it continues to happen, but I think some of them appreciated that we made the trip there. What are you and Gabby hoping to accomplish with Americans for Responsible Solutions? Ultimately, passing some common-sense gun-violence legislation—stuff like a universal background check. Right now, in most places in the country, you can go to a gun show and buy a firearm without your background being known, which makes it very easy for a criminal or the mentally ill to get a gun. We think that part of the responsibility of being a gun owner is to have a background check before you purchase a gun. I bought a gun from Walmart a few months ago. I had to fill out some paperwork and I had to stand there for about 30 minutes. If that’s what all responsible gun owners must do to prevent criminals or the mentally ill from having easy access to firearms, well, I think that’s what we need to do. There are critics who say your call for more background checks and restrictions on highcapacity magazines is an attack on the Second Amendment. Gabby and I are as strong supporters of the Second Amendment as anybody out there. I served 25 years in the military. I’ve flown in combat. I’ve been shot at. I’ve carried a gun into work. Gabby owns a gun. So do I. … I don’t think you could find two people who support the Second Amendment more than Gabby and

PK WEIS

What was it like to travel to Newtown with Gabby?

Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords. I. But this doesn’t have anything to do with the Second Amendment. High-capacity magazines are a public-safety issue, as are assault weapons, as are background checks. So I don’t buy that argument. You can go on our website—one our goals is to protect the Second Amendment. It sounds like one of the things you’ll be involved with is political campaigns and helping candidates who support the same kinds of reforms that you’re calling for. We’re going to support candidates who support common-sense solutions to gun violence. We hope to encourage members of Congress to do the right thing. For a very long time, the gun lobby has had a lot of influence on Capitol Hill. They will continue to have a tremendous amount of influence, but I think what happened in Newtown was the clarion call that we just can’t put out a statement every time one of these things happens. First of all, they’re happening too frequently. And it’s unacceptable to have 20 first-graders killed in their classrooms, along with six of their teachers and administrators, and for us as a nation to do nothing about it. That is unacceptable. Here in Arizona, we’ve seen government officials call for arming principals and teachers. Do you think that’s a viable solution? No, I don’t at all, actually. I’ve been shot at on 39

different occasions flying in combat over Iraq and Kuwait. If you haven’t had that type of experience—and most of the people who call for that kind of solution have not had that type of experience—you don’t realize how chaotic it is when somebody is trying to kill you. I’ve had multiple conversations with friends of mine who have been in Seal Team 6 and they feel that putting a security guard (in the school) or arming a teacher or principal is as inept a solution as I think it is. Because when somebody walks through the door with an assault weapon with a high-capacity magazine, who is often mentally ill, with the intent to murder a lot of people, teachers with guns are barely going to slow them down. We’ve seen that at Columbine. It has very little of an effect. On a personal note, how are you enjoying the move to Tucson? It’s great. I lived in Houston, Texas, for 16 years. I loved living in Houston. It’s a great place that has a lot to offer. But it’s great to have Gabby home in Tucson. Often, after I drop my daughter Claire off at school in the morning, I’ll go for a hike up in Sabino Canyon for an hour and half. There are not many places in this country where you can be in a city the size of Tucson and within a 15-minute drive, you can be in a place as beautiful as Sabino Canyon. I really enjoy it. Gabby really loves being back. It’s her home.

overwhelmingly” positive response. “This is nothing at all against the rank-and-file Republicans in this state who are embarrassed by this Republican Party and where they’re going,” Kozachik said. “It’s my sense that this party is going to have to start hemorrhaging some centrist members before they start to understand how detached they are from the values of this community.” Kozachik was welcomed by Democrats. New Pima County Democratic Party chairman Don Jorgensen sent out a bulletin saying that the switch “highlights the fact that the Democratic Party represents mainstream Arizona values that place common sense and the public good ahead of partisan ideology.” Many of Kozachik’s loudest critics had a different perspective. Former state lawmaker Frank Antenori, who lost his bid for reelection after redistricting put him in a central Tucson district, said that “for a moment, I thought he’d reached a period of lucidness when he announced that he’d become a Democrat. Then I read his communist manifesto announcement and realized the guy’s still just an unabashed liar and just totally in another world.” Antenori takes issue with Kozachik’s open letter announcing the switch because he says that Kozachik had assured Antenori that was a true believer in conservative principles when he first ran for office in 2009. “Everything that he says he doesn’t agree with now, he said he supported,” Antenori said. “The guy’s a liar. His liberal buddies will probably appreciate that—‘Oh, good, he lied to the Republicans.’” The switch definitely makes Kozachik’s reelection a lot easier this year. Had he remained a Republican, he would have likely faced a Republican primary in central-Tucson Ward 6 and then a Democratic opponent in a citywide general election. Now he’ll probably be able to avoid a primary fight (and even if he has one, he’ll win easy; central-city Democrats love him) and he has a significant voter-registration advantage going into the November general. Antenori told The Skinny that he’s recruiting a candidate to run against Kozachik, but the Republicans he’d been interviewing as potential challengers probably won’t work out anymore. Instead, Antenori believes he’s found an independent candidate to challenge Kozachik, although he didn’t want to tell us a name yet. “I don’t want to spoil it yet, but he’s an independent,” Antenori said. “He’s well liked by both Democrats and Republicans. If we can rally the Repbublicans and some of the Democrats and the independents behind this guy, I think we can beat (Kozachik).”

BOOK ME, DANNO EAST BENSON HIGHWAY DEC. 17, 2:57 A.M.

A man who was banging on his girlfriend’s door after 2 a.m. and claimed that he was there to give her a TV and apologize for “possibly cheating on her” called a deputy a “fucking faggot” and threatened to kick another deputy’s ass, according to a Pima County Sheriff’s Department report. Deputies responding to a call from the woman found the man sitting on the ground by her front gate. He told deputies the woman was “being a bitch” by refusing to see him. Asked if he didn’t think it unreasonable to be yelling and banging on her door around 2 a.m., the man shook his head and mentioned the TV and the cheating. Then he told a deputy, “Let’s just go to jail and get this over with because I’m tired of dealing with your ass.” While his possessions and money were being confiscated at the jail, the man told a deputy, “I don’t fucking trust you. You’re a fucking faggot. You need to count the money in front of me.” He continued to curse at deputies while being booked, telling one of them, “You’re a punk bitch. Me and you should go toe to toe and I’ll knock your fucking ass out.” Then he passed out on a jail bench. The man was booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.

GETTING HER ROCKS OFF SAN XAVIER DISTRICT DEC. 19, 12:28 P.M.

A woman claimed her newspaper carrier continued to deliver the paper after she stopped subscribing and had been harassing her by turning her vehicle around in the woman’s driveway about 3:30 a.m. every day, a PCSD report stated. The woman told deputies the carrier was disturbing the rocks in her driveway, and that the vehicle’s headlights would shine in her bedroom while the carrier turned around. The woman said she once put out a sign reading, “Do not use my driveway as a turnaround.” She said she then received a note that said, “I wish you would move your damn rocks.” The woman told deputies that the previous night, she had set up stakes in a large pile of rocks to block the driveway. But about 3:30 a.m., the woman said, she saw the carrier in the driveway “doing something” to the barrier. She later found the barrier dismantled. Deputies told the woman to call again if such incidents continued.

Much Ado About Dachshunds bout a month back, I wrote about this wacky little event going on in San Diego—a dachshund race that features participants who have earned the right to exhaust their stubby little legs by virtue of winning qualifying races held throughout the U.S. For whatever reason, the Old Pueblo happens to host one of these qualifying races, though considering that we have more Wienerschnitzel restaurants in Tucson than the entire Phoenix metropolitan area, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. In the original post, I mentioned that the winner of the Tucson qualifier, Oscar, was a Tucson dog, from a Tucson family. That was, unfortunately, incorrect. That was my mistake, and I’m completely willing to own up to it. The thing is, something odd happened—we got a number of phone calls complaining about the error. Not simply pointing out the issue, by the way; vehement, genuinely upset phone calls for erroneously naming the hometown of a house pet that was going to run a race sponsored by a fast food franchiser that has the word “wiener” in its name. This isn’t “life and death”-type stuff here, people. This is about a silly looking dog breed competing in a silly race that gives the winning family a cool thing to talk about for the rest of their lives. I get civic pride—hell, as a born-and-raised Phoenician in Tucson, I hear attacks on both areas from both sides—but the fact of the matter is, this dog winning is just plain cool for the state of Arizona as a whole. There’s no need to gripe about Tyson Rondeau and his wife Jillian, who own Oscar, for their part in participating. They’re just as proud of Oscar as Tucsonans are of their pooches. So let’s forego the “civic pride” for a while, and just bask in the happy absurdity of racing wiener dogs. That’s what Rondeau and his family are doing, now that they’re $1,000 richer. As Rondeau said to me when we spoke last week, “It’s all for fun.” — David Mendez, Web Producer dmendez@tucsonweekly.com

roles in fighting federal gun legislation, including the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act—better known as the Brady Bill—so named for President Ronald Reagan’s press secretary, who was shot in the head during a 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan. Among other things, the act established a database known as the National Instant Background Check System, which is supposed to contain the names of people who are not eligible to purchase firearms. In 1994, the state Legislature passed a law permitting residents to carry concealed weapons—as along as they were also toting a state-issued permit. In 2000, then-National Rifle Association president Charlton Heston was invited to give the legislative session’s opening invocation. More recent sessions saw the passage of bills allowing possession of concealed weapons without permits or training, designation of a state handgun—the Colt single-action Army revolver—and strengthening of the ability of people to defend their homes or vehicles with firearms. The Legislature also passed measures that block cities and towns from banning hunting within their boundaries (except in proximity to occupied structures), prohibit them from enacting gun ordinances more restrictive than state law, and ensure the right of citizens to carry guns in parks and preserves. While many local leaders consider these laws a state power grab, that power may actually may lie with gun rights lobbyists such as Todd Rathner, who works the Legislature on behalf of the NRA. Hearing Rathner describe the cascade of preemptive laws emerging from that body makes it sound as though his group simply runs the statehouse—just as many believe it does. He recalls efforts dating back to July 2000, when the Legislature passed a measure designating the state as the preeminent authority on gun laws. Since then, each time Tucson tests a loophole in the statute, the Legislature and Rathner tighten it even more. “We’ve spent the past 13 years tweaking, tuning and adjusting that amendment,” he says. “When the city wanted to ban gun shows, the NRA took them to court.” When that lawsuit failed, “we went back to tweak the law to say they can’t ban gun shows at the Tucson Convention Center.” And when the city tried to enact background checks at gun shows, “we tweaked the law and said they couldn’t do that. “We’ve been working on this for over a decade, perfecting it,” Rathner says. “And every time Tucson steps out of line, we gotta smack their hand and fix it.” That omnipotence seems to have taken a toll. Despite lots of chatter, no one appears poised to

he morning of Jan. 8 registered barely a breeze, which was rather curious given the hot air already expended about Tucson’s gun buyback, just then getting underway at a midtown police substation. In previous weeks, the guns-and-ammo crowd had worked itself into a froth over this event, threatening legal action to stop it and pledging to derail the removal of weapons from public circulation by offering cash for the good ones, in contrast to a measly $50 grocery gift card handed out by the city. Regardless, by day’s end the buyback would net some 200 assorted guns destined for the scrap heap. It was part of an effort by Ward 6 Councilman Steve Kozachik to address gun violence such as the Tucson rampage two years ago that left six people dead and wounded 13, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Or the recent massacre at a Connecticut elementary school where the shooter killed six staffers and 20 first-graders. Along with Ward 3 Councilwoman Karin Uhlich, Kozachik is also pushing to let Tucson enact what he considers no-brainer laws, such as prohibiting guns in city parks. While allowing jurisdictions to decide their own gun policies would seem to jibe with Arizona’s conservative political culture—where state lawmakers constantly decry outside meddling by the federal government—that hands-off philosophy somehow vanishes in the tough desert between Tucson and the statehouse in Phoenix. Instead, Republican legislators have steadily stymied this city’s gun regulation efforts. Nonetheless, on the same day as the buyback, Kozachik and Uhlich introduced a nonbinding council “memorial” asking the Arizona Legislature to repeal its “preemption of the local regulation of firearms.” Contacted earlier by phone, Kozachik said the memorial “sends a message to Phoenix that ‘we’re not your servants.’ We hear a different set of voices here and we want to reserve the right to draw local firearms ordinances that apply legitimate time, manner and place restrictions on where you can carry firearms, based on what we hear from our constituents.” But history doesn’t bode well for that effort. The state constitution was drafted in 1910, and Arizona has been in the vanguard of steadily expanding gun rights ever since. Even the modest controls of Arizona’s frontier towns were eventually swept away, under the stance that they violated the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. State lawmakers have also played decisive

About 200 guns were returned in a recent citywide buyback. introduce a bill restoring Tucson’s gun-restriction abilities. “And I know that if somebody did, it’s not going through this majority,” says Steve Farley, a state senator representing District 9. Such mundane matters as restricting guns from local parks “should be within the ability of someone in the local municipality to do that,” Farley says. “But sadly, our Legislature hasn’t agreed.” The same intransigence lingered among attendees of the Jan. 8 buyback, as some 30 police officers kept tabs on the crowd and processed forfeited weapons. Among those in line was Jack Allen, a retired commercial airline pilot who was surrendering his .410 gauge shotgun. “I’m getting it out of the house,” he said. “I want to be part of the program with Kozachik in getting rid of the guns.” Others felt differently, in a charged atmosphere rife with rumors. Off to one side stood Brian Sanford and his wife, Nicole, who hoisted signs protesting the buyback. “It’s a political stunt,” Brian Sanford said. “Maybe they’ve proved that by turning away a non-serialized gun, which is much more dangerous than ones that have serial numbers. One man said the cops wouldn’t let him (turn in his gun) because it doesn’t have a serial number.” When I asked a nearby officer whether that was true, he raised an eyebrow. No guns would be turned away that day, he said, whether they bore serial numbers or not. But even before the event began, such fearmongering had Councilman Kozachik shaking his head. “All the buyback does is give you the opportunity to properly dispose of your gun with TPD,” he said by phone. “Big deal.” “Despite all the crap that I’m taking from these guys, the fact that this community is so engaged in the topic just affirms to me that this is the right time to have this conversation. … Nobody is talking about disarming the citizenry. It’s a totally voluntary buyback of a firearm that you don’t want.”

Speaking of former state lawmaker Frank Antenori: He told The Skinny he is putting the final touches on creating a new non-profit, the Foundation for Responsible and Accountable Government. “We’re going to keep an eye on fraud, waste and abuse,” said Antenori. “We’re going to expose government largesse and corruption. And we’re going to go after politicians that say one thing and do another.” By using a 501(c)(6), Antenori will be able to keep the names of his donors secret. Whether he’ll be able to raise all that much money, especially now that he’s no longer in the Legislature, remains to be seen. Or not seen, given the rules of dark money in campaign finance these days. When we talked to Antenori this weekend, he was in the midst of a remodeling project on his eastside home. He tells us he’s fixing the place up so he can sell it. “The city is going down,” Antenori said. “I want to get out before my property value goes with it. I don’t want to end up like houses in Detroit, where you can’t give them away.” His long-range plan, however, is not to move to a heavily armed citadel in Idaho. Instead, he’s just going to relocate a few miles to the southeast so he’ll be in Legislative District 14, a solidly Republican district. He figures the current lawmakers in LD14— Reps. David Stevens and David Gowan and Sen. Gail Griffin—will hit their term limits in 2016, which will allow him to make his triumphant return to the Arizona Legislature. “There will be open seats out there,” Antenori said.

RUM, ROMANISM AND RESURRECTION Former state lawmaker Tom Prezelski has resurrected Rum, Romanism and Rebellion, the left-leaning blog established by his brother Ted, who gave up the writing when he went to work for Tucson City Councilman Paul Cunningham last year. “I think that there is a need to provide a more historical perspective on what is happening,” Prezelski told The Skinny. “Though there is some good stuff out there now, there is something missing in terms of real expertise and experience. I hope I can provide that.” Prezelski hopes to blog two or three times a week and expects that he’ll “be a little wonkier than Ted.” By Jim Nintzel Find early and late-breaking Skinny at The Range, our daily dispatch at daily.tucsonweekly.com

Raices Taller 222, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who. The feisty little gallery with a Latino bentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which created the pointed show How Brown Am I? in the wake of the SB 1070 anti-immigrant billâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this time around has organized an exhibition around a massive misinterpretation of Mayan cosmology. ÂĄNo PasĂł! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;It Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Happen!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is billed as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;art exhibition celebrating the world not ending.â&#x20AC;? As all of us now alive know, our Earth has soldiered on since Dec. 21, the day that Anglos, misinterpreting Mayan beliefs, identified as the day all seven billion of us passengers on Spaceship Earth would be annihilated. And right before Christmas, too. Confident that the world would continue, the prescient little gallery that could rounded up a gang of local artists whose paintings, sculptures, prints and photos rejoice in the continuation of the human race. Local painter Richard Zelens, for one, made a cheerful painting of pink posies and titled it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ode to Spring, Twenty Thirteen,â&#x20AC;? to signal his optimism that spring would indeed arrive. And a good thing, too, what with all the arts events Tucsonans have been planning so diligently for the coming months. Art lovers of the Old Pueblo can see and hear everything and everyone from Verdi to Arlo Guthrie, from the Indigo Girls to Lila Downs, from Shakespeare to Jessica Dickey (a playwright premiering a new play), and exhibitions from painter Jim Waid to photographer Joel-Peter Witkin. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gathered as many of these happeningsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; art exhibitions, concerts, plays and readingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; as I could on these few pages, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much going on that not everything can fit here. Consult Linda Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monster listings in the Weekly for every single event now set to happen in Tucson, in the absence of the Mayan Armageddon. And, as always, check out music maven Stephen Seigelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pages for all the music fit to print. MEDIA MIXES Some of the most interesting performances mix up the art forms. The big shindig this Saturday night, Jan. 19, at the Tucson Music Hall may not exactly combine mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an all-music concertâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but for sure its artists jump genres. The Indigo Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;feminist singer-songwriters Amy Ray and Emily Saliersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sing orchestral versions of their popular tunes, joining forces with the classical musicians of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. On their first national symphonic tour, the Girls sing works from the 1980s all the way up to songs from their latest CD, Beauty Queen Sister. Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Chamber Music PLUS has pioneered a new genre thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mĂŠlange of music and drama, and on Jan. 27, its Confidentially, Chaikovski adds a third element: television. Michael Learned and Richard Thomas, who played mother and son on TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Waltons,

re-unite to bring to life Tchaikovsky and his mysterious female patron. Tucson playwrightmusician Harry Clark contributes the script and cello music; his wife Sanda Schuldmann does the honors on piano. Clark promises an explanation in a preshow talk for his eccentric spelling of the great Russian composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. The first-ever Tucson Desert Song Festival brings together seven different local arts organizations for a 10-day extravaganza of classical music, lectures and master classes. (See tucsondesertsongfestival.org for all the participants.) Ballet Tucson brings dance into this heady brew in Passionately Piazzolla, a collaboration with Chamber Music PLUS and the Tucson Guitar Society. A celebration of the great tango composer Astor Piazzolla, Passionately pairs choreography by Chieko Imada and John Dahlstrand (himself a credible tango dancer) with a script by Harry Clark. Actor Robert Beltran plays the composer. Ballet Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daniel Precup, tall, lean and dark, is made for the role of the male tango dancer. Feb. 15 through 17. Art.if.Act Dance Project dances only to live music, and the Kingfisher String Quartet will play for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new narrative dance, I Wonder if My Name Is Alice. As usual, film backdrops unfurl behind the dancers. And, for the first time, muralist Joe Pagac (of Rialto Theatre fame) will paint sets live on stage while the audience watches. Inspired by Lewis Carrollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alice, the evening-long concert follows a teenage girl whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to center herself by conjuring up the adventures of Alice. March 21, 22 and 24. Music pairs with poetry when poet Nathaniel Mackey (Nod House) and jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell share the stage March 28 at Pima Community College, at an evening sponsored by the UA Poetry Center and POG, a local poetry organization. On March 26, Tucson poet Lisa Cooper leads a discussion at the center about works by Mackey, who won the National Book Award for poetry in 2006.

ART The Old Pueblo is a photography town, and the snapshot season opened with a startle last weekend at Etherton Gallery. In Surface Tension, a dwarf in a corset and nudes of a hunchback and a woman with brutally deformed arms inhabit the sacred precincts of Joel-Peter Witkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intricate photos. Holly Roberts pairs paint with her photos, reducing images of humans and animals to primitive shapes. And Alice Leora Briggs, while not a photographer, slashes into wood to create graphic black-and-white woodcuts conjuring up the violence in murderous Ciudad Juarez. Through April 13. Alejandra Platt-Torres tackles a similar subject in black-and-white photos at the Arizona State Museum. Her solo show, A World Separated by Borders, records the travails and tragedies of migrants slogging across Sonora and the Arizona desert. March 8 through Oct. 19. Desert Grasslands, opening Jan. 26 at the Tucson Museum of Art, looks at the same landscape from an ecological point of view. Part of the Desert Initiative Project, which has already seen shows this season at Pima College and the UA Museum of Art, this one exhibits 16 artists who work in photography, computer scans,

Language of the Land at the UA’s Joseph Gross Gallery, also part of the Desert Initiative Project, zeroes in on interesting new terrain: the new wave of contemporary art being created by “Indigenous Nations.” Through March 29. The Jazz Loft Project: Photographs and Tapes of W. Eugene Smith from 821 Sixth Avenue, 1957-1965 continues through March 10 at the Center for Creative Photography. Two hundred black and white prints by a pioneering photographer—and companion recordings—document an important moment in jazz. The dazzling photographer Kate Breakey, she of the luminous dead coyotes and painted birds, opens a show of new work, Surveillance, at the Temple Gallery on March 1. David F. Brown is already showing his charming but psychologically insightful paintings and drawings at the Temple, through Feb. 26. And public artist Simon Donovan, he of the Rattlesnake Bridge, pairs with David Longwell in Action/Reaction, a collaborative show there April 5 to June 4. PAINTING The painting show of the season may well be Peter Young: Capitalist Masterpieces at MOCA Tucson. A modernist who won fame in New York in the 1960s, Young has been living quietly in Bisbee for decades. His reputation revitalized by an acclaimed show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art a few years ago, he now fills MOCA with his brightly colored abstractions. Through March 31. Amy Metier, an engaging abstractionist from Colorado, has so far shown her work in Tucson only in bite-size pieces at the annual Small Works show at Davis Dominguez. She goes full size in her current exhibition, with painter David Pennington and sculptor Steve Murphy, through Feb. 9. The gallery, often a landscape stronghold, goes fully abstract with a one-woman show of paintings and works on paper by Katherine Josten from March 28 to May 4. Tucson grand master painter Jim Waid makes a rare appearance this spring, with paintings at Etherton from April 20 to June 8.

“#18,” acrylic on canvas by Peter Young, 1974 And speaking of Tucson masters, The Drawing Studio is having a monthlong celebration of the Contemporary Masters of Tucson in a pair of exhibitions, an auction and a series of talks and workshops throughout the month, including a lecture by yours truly this Friday evening, Jan. 18. Through Jan. 31. THEATER I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m still shaking from the exhilarating/horrifying Next to Normal, a rock opera about mental illness staged by Arizona Theatre Company last fall. It ranks among the finest pieces of theater I’ve ever seen. Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children, brought to us by the intrepid folks at The Rogue Theatre, has a shot at being just as hair-raising. This classic meditation on war and its aftermath—Mother Courage profits from the war that kills her children one by one—couldn’t be more timely: Our nation has now been at war for a longer time than any other period in our history. Through Jan. 27. (See the review in this issue.) Rogue doesn’t ease up, following “Bird Being Chased,” by Holly Roberts, part of Etherton Gallery’s Surface Tension.

Her Row after Row, keying in to the 100th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, is about two Civil War re-enactors at the battlefield. April 18 to May 5. Live Theatre Workshop is midway through its run of The Chosen, the theatrical adaptation of Chaim Potok’s beloved novel of Jewish life in Brooklyn in the late 1940s. Through Feb. 9. Paul Rudnick’s Regrets Only, a comedy of manners, is also set in New York, but in a Park Avenue penthouse, light years from immigrant Brooklyn. Feb. 14 to March 24. In The Cemetery Club, three widows go to a graveyard monthly to pay their respects to their late husbands. One upsets the cozy club when a butcher catches her eye. March 28 to April 27.

Since 1892, Brown Mackie College has believed education should evolve to meet the needs of students and employers. Back then, that meant delivering a quality, career-focused education via pencils and paper. Today, it means we’re embracing tablet technology in our classrooms and beyond.

up Brecht with dramatizations of Monkey and Metamorphosis by Kafka, no slouch in the social criticism department. Feb. 28 to March 17. The season ends with Shakespeare, but not with one of his comedies. The antihero of Richard III is a “charming monster [who] murders his way to the throne of England.” April 25 to May 12.

Etcetera, Live Theatre’s late-night branch, continues its experimental work in a series of performances gathered under the rubric Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theater of the World). Episode 1, Turkey, is Feb. 1 and 2. Ireland is March 8 and 9; Japan is April 5 and 6; and our hometown of Tucson gets the nod April 26 and 27. Tales, songs and beer from these farflung destinations are all on the theatrical menu. After taking on Luis Alfaro’s Chicano rendering of Oedipus el Rey a few seasons back, Borderlands presents his Bruja (Witch), as explosive contemporary version of Euripides’ Medea. She’s the spurned woman of myth who murders her children as an act of vengeance. March 28 to April 4. Beowulf Alley also finds modern lessons in ancient theater. In the perennially timely Lysistrata, the Greek comedy by Aristophanes, the women deny the men you-know-what to stop them from making war. March 8 to 24. And Tom Stoppard’s The Invention of Love is from 1997, but he uses classical Greek allusions to look at the life of poet A.E. Housman. March 29 to April 14. Before that, from Feb. 15 to 20, Craig Wright’s wistful The Pavilion from 2000 goes back to a staple of contemporary times: a small-town high-school reunion. And Three Hotels continues through this weekend. The UA student players at Arizona Repertory Theatre investigate the meaning of love—familial and otherwise—in the oddball contemporary comedy Love Song, Feb. 3 to 24. Next, they try on the Bard for size, performing Shakespeare’s lesser-known Cymbeline, a story of jealousy in the early days of Britain’s Celtic kings. Feb. 24 to

March 24. Then the ART team does a 180-turn in Nine, a musical based on Felliniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie 8Â˝, set in Italy in the swinging â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. April 7 to 28. Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, now playing at Arizona Onstage, deploys a squad of Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best actresses to play the bridesmaids in a comic wedding tale. Through Jan. 27. (See the review in this issue.) In April, on dates not yet set, the troupe delves into another female tropeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the beauty contestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the musical Pageant. Following a hiatus, The DaVinci Players of Studio Connections are back on the stage in the musical Nunsense, through this weekend. Hedwig & the Angry Inch is a musical, too, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literally cutting-edge. Hedwig is an East German rocker left with just an â&#x20AC;&#x153;angry inchâ&#x20AC;? after faulty sex-change surgery. Ouch. The production is put together by the newly formed Bastard (Theatre) and directed by the respected Christopher Johnson. Feb. 14 to 23. Look for more outrageous work at the Tucson Fringe Theater Festival, March 1 to 3 at Club Congress. The lineup of plays has not yet been released. In the mood for song-and-dance Broadway musicals? Turn to the traveling productions presented by Broadway in Tucson. Memphis, Feb. 26 to March 3, is a newish show about the country music world. The phenom Wicked sashays into town for a nearly three-week stay March 20 to April 7. Blue Man Group, April 23 to 28, deploys a trio of performance artists in blue face paint juggling comedy, technology and music. Million Dollar Quartet, May 7 to 12, goes back to a fateful day in 1956 when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins jammed together. And Chamber Music Plusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final show of the season, Sister-in-Law Beethoven, stars Margot Kidder (yes, that Margot Kidder) as the relative of the great composer. The Clark Schuldmann Duo play the music of Ludwig von live. April 7. In a rare theatrical outing, UApresents offers up FELA! a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical about the Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. The show is choreographed by the noted Bill T. Jones. April 12 and 13. Finally, the new Puppets Amongus continues staging its artful puppet plays. The Silken Thread is Feb. 2 and 3; Irish Rover steps out March 16 and 17; and Archipelago takes over April 27 and 28.

April 26, 27 and 28. Ballet Tucson, the only local pro company, beautifully keeps classical dance alive in the Old Pueblo. Following the collaborative concert Passionately Piazzolla (see Media Mixes above), the troupe stages its popular annual Dance & Dessert concert. The show will be a collage of dances by six choreographers, including the late, great Antony Tudor, followed by smorgasbord of sweets. April 5, 6, 7. The youth company BT2 dances Hansel & Gretel and the classic Les Syphides May 18 and 19. Coincidentally, the advanced teen dancers of Tucson Regional Ballet dance their version of Hansel & Gretel April 20 and 21 at the TCC Leo Rich Theatre, along with excerpts from the romantic ballet Paquita. UApresents does its part for ballet by sending the Alonzo King Lines Ballet onto the Centennial Hall stage Feb. 10. The acclaimed San Francisco troupe, known for dancing in the liminal space between ballet and modern, performs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dust and Lightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scheherazade.â&#x20AC;? Momix is next up on Feb. 24 with Botanica, a concert inspired by nature. An offshoot of Pilobolus, the popular Momix has great athletic dancers, but choreographer Moses Pendleton too often forces them into icky-cute steps and costumes. LimĂłn Dance Company evokes the exhilarating era of early modern dance. Mexican-born Jose LimĂłn, a major modern choreographer, fled with his family to Tucson when he was a child to escape the Mexican Revolution. Performing at Centennial March 24, the troupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancers alternate between classic works by the late LimĂłn and new compositions by contemporary artists. The laugh-a-minute Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings the UApresents dance season to a rollicking end on April 20. The joke is simpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the ballerinas are men, complete with hairy chestsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but the pleasure is great: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all wonderful dancers. At the UA School of Dance, the young dancers perform eight shows of Premium Blend February 14 to March 3. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dance â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jewelsâ&#x20AC;? by Balanchine, along with pieces by faculty, including the inventive Doug Nielsen. Rainbow Bound, a student spotlight, runs April 18 to 27. Spring Collection, with students performing faculty dances, runs concurrently from April 19 to 28.

The count of local modern dance troupes has been low throughout the recession, and, sadly, old standby NEW ARTiculations Dance Theatre is sitting this season out. But Art.if.act Dance Project is still going strong, fueled partially by its annual summer tours of China (see Media Mixes above for its March show). And so is ZUZI! Dance Company, which kept itself afloat by renting out its theater and teaching classes. ZUZI obliges the local dance community by putting on regular choreographersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; showcases. Lee Anne Hartley, co-director of the old FUNHOUSE movement theater, expects to be among the many choreographers showing a piece in No Frillsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Have a Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dance Happening Feb. 15 and 16.

The Arizona Friends of Chamber Music is in anniversary mode this year. The Friends, who regularly bring world-class chamber musicians to Tucson at near rock-bottom prices, is celebrating its 65th birthday, its 50th commission of a new piece of music and the 20th edition of its annual Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival. Unique among small arts groups, the Friends regularly pays composers to create new work. The 50th piece, a piano trio by Lowell Liebermann, debuts next Wednesday, Jan. 23, at a concert by the Trio Solisti. The Friends presents a half-dozen more regular concerts this season, in addition to the Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival, a weeklong extravaganza of concerts by 13 musicians, master classes and open rehearsals. The festival runs March 17 to 24. Opera means â&#x20AC;&#x153;the works,â&#x20AC;? and opera has everything: full-throttle singing, drama and live music. Arizona Opera, Tucson-born but

A Celebration on Film

PICK OF THE WEEK

Before the first annual Out in the Desert film festival wrapped in February 2012, plans were already in motion to make the second iteration an even bigger celebration of Tucson’s LGBT community, independent filmmaking and the boundary-breaking discussions they inspire. The Southwest LGBT Film Society kicks off Out in the Desert 2013 on Wednesday, Jan. 23, and festival director Joe Sprague is confident those attending will be exposed to an array of topics and storylines in an accepting environment, regardless of their sexuality. “Everybody that comes to the festival gets a real overall experience of the gay community,” said Sprague, who reviewed films with the festival staff for months in order to expand this year’s program offerings. More than 600 submissions from around the world were whittled down to the 164 official selections, which run the gamut from feature-length films to shorts only a few minutes long. according to Jacoby, by showing Out in the Desert has originality that marriage equality also includes in its favor due to its programming the potential for not-so-happy endstyle. According to Sprague, it’s the ings. only LGBT film festival in the The ability to dismiss the “candyworld organized by genre rather coated,” stereotypical storylines of that lumping films together purely gay films in years past is progress by sexuality.

OUTDOORS An Oasis of Tranquility Yume Japanese Garden Opening Saturday, Jan. 19 2130 N. Alvernon Way 445-2957; tucsonjapanesegardens.org It has been Patricia Deridder’s dream to bring Japanese culture to Tucson ever since she lived in Japan for 15 years as a young woman. Through the Yume Japanese Gardens, opening on Saturday, she has achieved her goal. “I am hoping to make as many people as possible aware of the Japanese culture as well as enjoy a very peaceful setting where someone can get in touch with themselves,” said Deridder, executive director of the gardens. According to Deridder, Yume means dream in Japanese. She thought it would be a fitting name for the gardens because not only have they always been a dream of hers, but the word also has a significant meaning in the Buddhist culture. The gardens are spread over three-quarters of an acre, and Deridder says they are the southernmost Japanese gardens in the West. “I was trying to, in this little area, express all the types of gardens you can find in Japan,” Deridder said. Yume consists of five traditional gardens, including a Zen contemplative and strolling-pond garden. There is also a modern garden and a sculpture garden, both of which complement the traditional gardens, as is now being seen in Japan, Deridder said. Deridder wants to expand the gardens and incorporate other attributes from Japanese culture. Plans call for a small house on the grounds that will feature workshops on the different cultures of Japan. She also hopes to hold yoga and meditation classes at the site. Admission to the gardens is $9 for adults; $7 for seniors; $6 for students and military; and $5 for children ages 3 to 15. — M.M.

Tuesday, Jan. 22 The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures 4455 E. Camp Lowell Drive 881-0606; theminitimemachine.org The new exhibit at the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures, Small Scale Skirmishes: Battles From Imagination and Reality, highlights how toy soldiers, other war-games figures and dioramas are used in military re-enactments. The, exhibit, which opens Tuesday, includes work from 10 Tucsonans who range from war-games enthusiasts to model builders to artists who specialize in miniatures. Lectures, demonstrations and classes related to the exhibit will also be offered. “I think it will provide an interesting perspective on the subject matter of war, and it will introduce a lot of people to wargaming,” said Lisa Hastreiter-Lamb, associate director and director of education at the museum. War-gaming came into its own after Little Wars, a set of rules for playing with toy soldiers written by H.G. Wells, was published in 1913. It sparked interest in the subject and transformed an activity for children into an adult game with strategy, rules and a referee. War-gaming has expanded since the 1970s to include both historic battles and imaginary ones. The exhibit examines both aspects of war-gaming. “We thought it would be interesting to present war-themed miniatures on both traditional historic battles and fantasythemed subjects,” Hastreiter-Lamb said. The nonprofit Museum of Miniatures began as a way for one collector to share her miniatures with the community in an interactive and educational way. The museum has more than 275 miniature houses and rooms in its permanent collection and has hosted several themed exhibits of miniatures over the years. The exhibit will be on display through Sunday, April 7. Admission is $9, with a $1 discount for seniors and military members, and $6 for children ages 4 to 17. — M.M.

If your experience with Danish culture extends only as far as the pastry occasionally paired with your morning cup of coffee, Tucson’s resident Danes want to change that. The Danish Club of Tucson is hosting Danes in the Desert, a series of lectures, exhibits and sporting events aimed at introducing attendees to the heritage of Danes and their ties to Southern Arizona. The series began to take shape after FC Tucson, a soccer team in the Premier Development League, announced that Denmark and Canada’s international soccer teams would play Jan. 26 in Kino Stadium, according to Danish Club member Mia Hansen. “It’s a celebration, so of course there’s a great pride in heritage,” said Hansen, who organized the event. One of the highlights of Danes in the Desert is an appearance by Denmark’s ambassador to the U.S., Peter Taksoe-Jensen. He will deliver the event’s keynote speech on Jan. 25 at the Viscount Suite Hotel, 4855 E. Broadway Blvd. The topic is “Denmark’s Green Agenda.” The speech will be followed by a meet-andgreet with Taksoe-Jensen, Danish athletes and other speakers. One goal of the series is to generate awareness for attendees’ cultural backgrounds, whether they’re of Danish heritage or are just “people who love Danes,” according to Hansen. Danes in the Desert will also feature a traditional, all-you-can-eat Danish smorgasbord from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Pavilions at Old Sabino, 3705 N. Old Sabino Canyon Road. Tickets are $30 and reservations can be made on the event website. Sports fans can also watch gymnastics exhibitions by the National Danish Performance Team. Hansen’s parents met on the team in 1946, and that has her excited to share the team’s expertise with fellow Tucsonans. “If it wasn’t for Danish gymnastics, I wouldn’t be here right now. ... this is a tradition I’ve known about all my life,” she said. — K.N.

Mari Herreras, mherreras@tucsonweekly.com

Tell me about this early phase of the project. We got a Learning Labs grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services and the MacArthur Foundation. We received $100,000 to plan a youth media center. There are some amazing youth media programs in other urban areas. It would be great to see one in Tucson. I think there are a lot of people who are saying the same thing in the community right now. We have a lot of support and lots of people on board to get it going. There were 12 chosen for this same grant last year and 12 this year. Between all of those people there is a lot of online support. I’m really looking forward to seeing what we develop. How did you find out about this grant? We were aware of this program that MacArthur helped start at the Chicago Public Library. In the library world it was exciting. It’s the flagship. They turned their teen library into a teen media center. Two years ago we received an $80,000 grant to start the CreateIT program. We hired professionals to teach classes at different libraries to teenagers—like graphic design, animation— during winter and summer break. The classes were all free, because every class at the library is free. But one of the lessons we really learned is that we’re not making the impact we want to make. Once the classes are over, 30 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

The equipment is great, but it’s about having access to the people. the students don’t have access to teachers anymore. We wanted them to have access to the mentor, and recognized that fundamentally it is about those relationships. The equipment is great, but it’s about having access to the people. How will this planning phase work? We would hire youth to lead … and help them by connecting them with professionals in our community and also help them facilitate their own community conversations with their peers to find out what youth would want in their own media center. The money is really to have this youth-led team, pay them a stipend to create a prototype. That phase will be coming down the line later this year. What is the age range? Youths 14 to 21. The application is online and the questions are asking about what their passion is, if they’ve had to overcome

something. Right now, we will choose 15 of them. We will be asking them to go out into the community and talk to their peers and do research—meet with different groups and adults to learn about media centers and meet with other people to find out what they want. All along, we want them to document their own process. They’ll have some media mentors to help them with that—video, recording or photos. It will be up to them. What do you think the basics of a media center will look like? I think there will media spaces downtown at the library, and then a mobile lab that will travel. And a third is online. We’ll be looking for funding along the way. How do we know the end result will be a media center? Although this is a planning grant, I know that we have full institutional support from the county. I am sure, at the end of the 18 months, with the ideas and prototypes of what they want to see, we will have the plan realized. Even by the end of eight months we will have plans and have partners all on board, and in the end getting everyone to the table regularly. We are excited about that.

PERFORMING ARTS The Rogue Theatre takes on Bertolt Brecht’s unflinching look at our dependence on war

War and Business Are Hell BY SHERILYN FORRESTER, sforrester@tucsonweekly.com ar is unkind to humans, but damn good for business. This is the truth so comically and tragically portrayed in Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children, now onstage at the Rogue Theatre. It’s an epic production of Brecht’s so-called “epic theater,” which eschews sentimentality and romanticism and unsparingly spreads before us some ugly truths about who we are and what we value. One of Brecht’s most well-known pieces, it was first performed in 1941, in Switzerland, of all the least war-inclined places. Its setting is the far-flung battlefields of Europe during the Thirty Years’ War, in particular the period from 1624 to 1636. The war pitted Catholics against Protestants, a holy war (imagine that!), one of the many ironies Brecht pounces on in his story of one of the more celebrated “single mothers” in theater history. Anna Fierling, aka Mother Courage (Cynthia Meier), both necessarily and willingly takes on the task of providing for herself and her three children by operating a traveling canteen, selling supplies to soldiers. A shrewd and committed materialist, she has great survival instincts, which include a willingness to forgo loyalty and commitment to one side or another, running a different flag up the flagpole when expedient and offering her wares in whatever camp she finds herself. She is not an ideologue, but a businesswoman. She professes care and devotion for her children and provides for them the best she can through her rolling enterprise. Yet over the course of the play, they all suffer from her attention to her business. Eilef (Christopher Johnson) is lured away to a regiment while her focus is making a deal elsewhere; Swiss Cheese (Matt Bowdren), a simple but honest lad whose

mother gets him a job as the regiment pay clerk to keep him from the front lines, loses the cashbox and is killed because his mother haggles about the price she will pay for of his release. And mute daughter Kattrin (Dylan Page), who, maternally speaking, is her mother’s opposite, longs for love and marriage and children, which she is promised by her mother when peace comes, while Courage is laying bets on the probability that peace will never come. But Kattrin is given a disfiguring facial wound by a soldier, negating her hopes of that maternal life. Even so, she acts on her desire to serve a good greater than merely making a living, putting her life at risk in an attempt to foil a surprise attack on a village—all while her mother is absent, conducting business. The Rogue offers a very respectable production of a complex play. Meier is strong as Mother Courage, who is constantly contradicting herself, rationalizing, observant of her world, but blind to herself. She is neither wholly likable nor unlikable. Her biggest failure is that she doesn’t learn. She continues her inexorable march—sans children and yoked to her now-ragged cart—toward her own dissolution, although she sees it as the necessary business of survival. The cast ably assists in the heavy lifting of the dense ideas and demanding embodiment of Brecht’s story and style, which includes much humor, particularly in his songs. But there’s a lack of storytelling momentum, which makes the production seem a little too long. And if you’re wondering about Brecht’s famous so-called “alienation” effect, worry not. Theater has become so deconstructed since Brecht’s time that nothing here seems jarring or even unusual. One of the most outstanding contributions of

the Rogue’s version of the play is the music, all composed specifically for this show by Tucsonan Tim Blevins. He and fellow musicians Dawn C. Sellers (who is also the musical director), Daniel Mendoza and Renie Sweeney offer not only accompaniment for Brecht’s outrageously wonderful lyrics, but also give the entire evening a wonderfully appealing dimension. In an interview with the Arizona Daily Star, director Joseph McGrath said he believes the play is not so much about how horrible war is, but about how we collude with the powers that be by choosing to participate in the business of war. It’s more an anti-business play than an anti-war play. Certainly that’s part of the story, and he makes it clear by the way he focuses the storytelling. But if you’re poor and struggling and there are limited opportunities for more “honorable” work, the business of war can provide a means of getting one’s needs met. Soldiers get paid and those who can provide for the needs of soldiers have steady work. War can at least stave off the wolves of homelessness and starvation. The poor have very little power and thus very little choice. But McGrath chooses not to emphasize the bitter roots of Mother Courage’s ambitions. He doesn’t allow her to play the victim, because one has even less power when one assumes that role. Mother Courage earns her name because she is determined to survive even though she finds herself caught up in the most unsavory circumstances of human exploitation. The tragedy is that she is exploited by the system at the same time she is exploiting it. As long as there is such a chasm between the haves and the have-nots, war is a practical probability. Which means, of course, that war is as inherent in our civilization as the business

of economic survival. So this is what we have to work with. Brecht posits that, within this paradigm, we must consider and claim our power as individuals, no matter how indifferent that power may seem. It might be easy enough to say this to a group of mostly educated folks with full stomachs and enough money to purchase theater tickets. But say it the Rogue does, and leaves us to think about our roles in the insufferable consequences of poverty and materialism.

PERFORMING ARTS Tucson heavyweights team up for ‘Five Women Wearing the Same Dress’ at Arizona Onstage

Super Supergroup BY LAURA C.J. OWEN, lowen@tucsonweekly.com hen musicians who are well known for other projects come together to form a new band—usually lasting only a short while—these all-star groups become known as supergroups. The same thing goes for theater. So you might say that Arizona Onstage’s briskly entertaining comedy Five Women Wearing the Same Dress is a supergroup production for Tucson. Consider its all-star power. The performance was the brainchild of two well-known actors: Carrie Hill, founder of Sacred Chicken Productions, and Amy Erbe, a mainstay of Winding Road Theater Ensemble. Both women perform in the show, playing two of the five bridesmaids, and it’s directed by Terry Erbe, a frequent Winding Road collaborator. This trio teamed up with Arizona Onstage artistic director Kevin Johnson, who provided a space and production support. And three other Tucson women were enlisted to play the other bridesmaids. OK, we’re not exactly talking fame along the lines of the Traveling Wilburys (George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison), but Five Women has a lot of prolific local theater-makers under one banner. You can see why Erbe and Hill wanted to do the play: Five Women provides meaty roles for, well, five women actors. Such a banquet of nuanced parts for women is unfortunately a rarity. The play takes place entirely in the bedroom of a sister of the bride. Though we never see the bride, the five bridesmaids make frequent trips to this cozy space. There, they can refresh their makeup, swig champagne, smoke a joint, cry over feckless men and complain about the bride. The brightly colored and meticulously detailed bedroom set was provided by Arizona

Onstage regular Michael Boyd. The room belongs to Meredith (Carley Preston), a reluctant bridesmaid in her sister’s wedding. Then we have Frances (Debbie Runge), an earnest relative who frequently exclaims “I’m a Christian!” to explain why she doesn’t participate in the activities that the others so enjoy (smoking, drinking, swearing and having sex). Runge is very funny but a little over the top; then again, this suits her broadly drawn character. Frances’ diametric opposite is world-weary “bad girl” Trisha, played with lovely, restrained charm by Hill. Trisha claims to have slept with about “a hundred” men. And, she says, “Not a single one of them has made any difference in my life.” Trisha and Georgeanne (Erbe) are longtime friends of the bride, but their memories of her are less than rosy. Georgeanne, who enters the play clutching a champagne bottle and dramatically weeping, is still carrying a torch for the unseen Lothario, Tommy Valentine, who was once engaged to the bride. Erbe’s performance has an easygoing charm. In contrast to her awkward, drunken Honey in last year’s Winding Road production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Erbe’s Georgeanne gets sillier, happier and more compelling the more she drinks. Though he’s not onstage, heartbreaker Valentine looms large: It seems he’s a compulsive womanizer, who’s had some kind of sleazy interaction with all five of the bridesmaids, even lesbian Mindy (Lori Hunt). Mindy, sister of the groom, is struggling to control her rage at her treatment by her traditional-values Southern family (her partner was not allowed to come to the rehearsal dinner, for instance), as well as her dislike of the bride.

Carrie Hill, Lori Hunt, Amy Erbe, Debbie Runge, and Carley Preston in Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. None of the bridesmaids is thrilled to be Five Women Wearing here, and their ire is outwardly directed at the the Same Dress dress they all forced to don.

A new book tells seven stories with a bar full of nostalgia as the centerpiece

A Bar in Juárez BY CHRISTINE WALD-HOPKINS, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com t one point in one of these sculpted, thoughtful stories, the point-of-view character sits in a bar waiting for his date. He’s in one of those old hotel bars, and it has a Tiffany dome. “It was so perfect and intricate,” he says, that “I felt for a moment, that I was in a church. But wasn’t that what bars were— churches for people who’d lost their faith?” Well, in the particular pews of Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club, attendance is up. It’s place for communion, for bringing folks together. A longing for completion or wholeness runs through the stories, and Juarez’s Kentucky Club bar has a cameo in each of them. In his seven-story collection, poet, novelist, and children’s and young adult author Benjamin Alire Sáenz creates a collection of people who are to some degree fractured. Whether through ethnicity—Mexican-American; the border, particularly El Paso/Juárez; age—often late adolescent; sexual orientation— some bi-sexual or gay; and parent-child relations—all of Sáenz’s characters are straining to hold together some fissures. It’s not the point-of-view character in the first story, “He Has Gone to be With the Women,” who seems to be broken. As the story opens, the middle-aged El Paso narrator is comfortable in his life of reading, writing novels, and painting. He’s jarred out of routine, however, by meeting Javier, a handsome young chauffeur from Juárez. Javier’s challenges— murdered father, disappeared mother, conflicted loyalty to his violent city—that drive the story, but his challenges inevitably open up and transform the narrator, whom, he had claimed before, “nobody knew.” This is a love story for a city and between men, and one eventually does not abide the other. Love and being “known” or understood are recurring themes in the book. In the comingof-age “Sometimes the Rain,” quiet, bookish Ernesto, a natural runner but not a natural athlete, befriends Brian, one of the jocks who harassed him off the cross-country team. Both are sons of abusive fathers, both are anxious to get out of Los Cruces, but Ernesto is puzzled that popular Brian would spend time with him. It’s hearing Brian having sex with another boy that flips on Ernesto’s light. Reserved but resourceful, hard-working, and intelligent, Ernesto will prove his worth to surprisingly unresourceful Brian (via, among other things, drinks at the Kentucky Club), but they will just

miss being “known” to each other. Google the Kentucky Club of the title, and you’ll find photos of a Juárez bar that’s unprepossessing from the outside, but richly nostalgically chic inside. It’s a 40’s/50’s period place, where American movie stars are said to have drunk, with a gleaming mahogany bar and polished glassware. For decades it was the destination for Americans crossing over to party, and it’s Sáenz’s central metaphor. He sets couples in flashback there, in crowded sophistication; he sets his contemporary characters there in lonely, rueful recognition that Juárez is now too dangerous to attract much of the old crossborder traffic. To his characters who still love the city, however, the Kentucky Club provides secular communion. And these characters need communion. They have addictions, suffer from neglect, abandonment, anger, sex, drugs. All these play a role in “Chasing the Dragon,” in which college freshman Conrad is haunted by questions about his dead parents. He and his older sister Carmen are the children of a beautiful, aloof mother who killed herself and an equally handsome, philandering, angry man. Caught up in the drama of their own lives, their parents were apparently incapable of expressing love for their children. It takes strength to break life patterns imposed by careless parents. The effect of love withheld or unexpressed is central to the work, as is a longing for it—recognized or not. Also recurring is the yen to feel alive, and not simply exist. For the sensitive men in these stories, love, books, and art (plus therapy or a good desert rain) can create that. You can feel the poet and picture-book writer (along with the UTEP Creative Writing Department chair) behind these stories; there’s art in the book design; there’s music in the language, and performance in the pacing … you can read them aloud. They’re audience-aware: men and boys get beaten; women get murdered; children get neglected; people engage in sex, but off-stage; Sáenz’s focus is on their effects on character. And he creates sympathetic, sensitive characters who, despite forces against them, can manage to find their way. And who occasionally sip bourbon in an elegant, aging Mexican bar.

CINEMA Jacques Audiard tells another beautiful story about pain

Body and Soul BY COLIN BOYD, cboyd@tucsonweekly.com

TOP TEN

fter waking to find both of his legs had been amputated, Ronald Reagan screamed, “Where’s the rest of me!” It was the centerpiece of the 1942 film King’s Row. A couple of decades later, Reagan repeated the line as the title of his autobiography, because it was apparently the best work of his film career. That scene, under not entirely different circumstances, is played much more effectively and unbearably by Marion Cotillard in Rust and Bone. Yes, believe it or not, Cotillard is a better actor than Ronald Reagan. And because digital effects didn’t exist in 1942, they just kept the future president in bed so his legs didn’t show. If you grade this kind of thing, the CGI in Rust and Bone surpasses the mere technical achievement of Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump—though great at the time—and seamlessly integrates missing legs into the film. Integrating that into the character is up to Cotillard. She plays Stéphanie, a trainer of killer whales at a French version of SeaWorld. She also performs with the animals, with the scenes explaining what you need to know about her legs. There is sadness around Stéphanie, though. Our peek into her love life reveals a tenuous relationship with her boyfriend—whom we never see again after Stéphanie wakes up in the hospital—and there doesn’t seem to be very much support from anyone else. She has one friend who pops up now and again, but mostly Stéphanie is alone and not able-bodied. The night before her accident, she had another one. At a nightclub, Stéphanie got caught in the crossfire between a bouncer and some patrons not so gently being shown the way out. Her nose bloodied and a little woozy, Stéphanie was in no shape to drive home. Enter Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts), who has come to the south of France from Belgium looking for a better life for himself and his son. He has some amateur fighting experience and has worked security, but it’s evident his past is sketchy. The same may hold true for his future. Feeling guilty about inadvertently causing her bloody nose, Ali drives Stéphanie home and in the spirit of small talk says her outfit is a little flirty. Actually, he says she’s dressed like a whore. It’s hard to tell if he means it as a compliment or a come-on. Neither works. Weeks after her tragedy, Stéphanie calls Ali, presumably because there is no one left to call. He agrees to see her, presumably because there is no one left to go see.

Jennifer Lawrence in House at the End of the Street. Marion Cotillard in Rust and Bone. The relationship is platonic for a while; Stéphanie can’t bear that kind of emotional attachment at the moment and Ali purposely avoids it. But he takes her to the ocean one day to help her overcome her grief, and it’s the first inkling that somewhere inside there, Stéphanie is still alive. It’s a wonderful moment and easily the warmest in the film. It also sets the stage for a deeper relationship, one that’s still more complex than perhaps either of them want it to be. They know, however, that a little distance suits them best. Ali begins taking part in underground bareknuckle mixed martial arts fights, and their brutality fits the raw emotion of the characters. More than anything, the fights are a metaphor for the pain life throws at both Ali and Stéphanie. Pain is something director Jacques Audiard delivers with regularity. The Beat That My Heart Skipped and Read My Lips go down some dark alleys, but nothing on the level of A Prophet, which is probably Audiard’s best film and his American breakthrough. That film has the luxury of confining its characters within a prison, so metaphors aren’t really needed, but Ali and Stéphanie seem just as trapped soaking up the sun on the French Riviera. Schoenaerts is a bull in a china shop several times in Rust and Bone; even when he develops true feelings for Stéphanie, he has no idea how to truly express them. Cotillard is, of course, one

of the great actors of her day. While it’s easy to get caught up in the fact that she’s a beautiful woman, in her best performances (here and in La Vie en Rose), that’s a significant afterthought. The magnificent digital effects help round out her struggle, but given the circumstance of Stéphanie’s life, the wrong performance—too much here, too little there—could send the entire film over a cliff. And from the moment she falls out of a hospital bed, you know you’re not just watching someone go through the motions. You’re sucked into this shared world of sadness because you want both of them to emerge from it so badly. Audiard probably goes a step too far to let the audience know what the future holds for Stéphanie and Ali, but it’s a minor offense in an otherwise well-executed and consuming movie.

FILM CLIPS Reviews by Colin Boyd, Casey Dewey and Bob Grimm.

NEWLY REVIEWED: ANY DAY NOW

Based on an agonizing true event, Any Day Now tells the story about a gay couple fighting to gain legal custody of a teenager with Down’s syndrome in the late 1970s. What should have been a compelling tale about unconditional love in the face of discrimination and a biased legal system instead feels like a Lifetime movie of the week, complete with numerous saccharine music montages and bad wigs. Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt, two of the finest actors today, try to steer their way through a clunky script with mixed results. Cumming has brilliant moments, assuming you can ignore his lousy “Noo Yawk” accent, but Dillahunt seems to be sleepwalking any time he’s not shouting out a hackneyed courtroom speech. Sadly, the message of this film is much too relevant today. So, while Any Day Now is bogged down with numerous missteps, it still manages to drive its point home. Dewey THE BIG PICTURE

Romain Duris plays Paul, a French lawyer with a disinterested wife (Marina Fois), a couple of kids, and an opportunity to take over his firm. He has success, but not happiness, and things are about to get a lot unhappier. The movie, directed by Eric Lartigau, doesn’t present much that feels original, but Duris makes the viewing worthwhile. As his character’s predicament worsens, he changes faces until being near unrecognizable by film’s end. The very ending feels like a bit of a cop-out, but the events leading up to that end are absorbing. I know, I’m being vague, but I don’t want to give too much away. Just know that it’s a film worth seeing, especially for the Duris performance. Catherine Deneuve shows up for a bit role, and it’s always good to have her around. Grimm A HAUNTED HOUSE

I hate the Paranormal Activity sequels. Maybe that’s why this Marlon Wayans spoof of PA sequels, and other found-footage horror movies, had me laughing hard at times. Perhaps I’m in the target audience

ready to laugh at the stupidity of found-footage horror. Perhaps it’s because I think farts are funny. Either way, I’d be lying if I told you this didn’t have me laughing hard at times. Wayans plays a guy who has his girlfriend (Essence Atkins) moving in, so he buys a camera and gets security cams installed as well. The girl brings a demon with her, and that demon likes to get high and sleep with both of them while the cameras are rolling. This movie works because Wayans is fully committed to the lunacy, as is Atkins. It’s no comedy classic, but it scores enough raunchy laughs to qualify it as a keeper. Grimm HYDE PARK ON HUDSON

Bill Murray plays FDR in this tonally abhorrent, stank movie about the former president’s dalliances with distant cousin Daisy (Laura Linney) around the time he was meeting Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and King George VI (Samuel West) to discuss WWII and eat hot dogs. Watching FDR get a hand job from his cousin is bad enough, but this film’s obsession with hot dogs is maddening. Olivia Williams is on hand as Eleanor Roosevelt, and she’s good enough to make you wish the movie was just about the former first lady. Murray is dull here, giving us an FDR who doesn’t seem capable of staying awake let alone running a country. Even worse is Linney, who looks and sounds lost (her voiceover narration is infuriating). Director Roger Michell doesn’t seem to know whether he is making an historical drama, a comedy or sleep fuel. It’s uneven, it’s embarrassing, and it needed to be stopped. Yet, here it is, trying to garner Oscar nominations. In case you can’t tell, I hate this movie. I hate it very much. Grimm

CONTINUING: CHASING ICE

Let’s suppose that, for you, 2012 didn’t happen. There was no Hurricane Sandy; the first half of the year was not the hottest on record in U.S. history; there weren’t 15,000 record highs in March alone. Let’s suppose that, for you, climate change or global warming is still a hoax. OK, then: Watch Chasing Ice. For the past half-decade, photographer James Balog has chronicled the receding of glaciers around the world, one picture per hour. To him, glaciers are the canaries in the coal mine of the global-warming debate. We’re not talking a couple of feet every month or year—the Columbia glacier in Alaska retreated more than 2 miles in three years. A chunk of Greenland ice the size of lower Manhattan broke off and submerged in a matter of minutes with Balog’s video cameras running. Sadly, this is all real—whether everyone believes it or not.

A family struggles to survive in Thailand after the massive 2004 tsunami that claimed more than 230,000 lives. Naomi Watts is Oscar-worthy as Maria Belon and Ewan McGregor is equally good as her husband, Henry. The two are on Christmas vacation with their children when the tsunami hits, and they become separated. Tom Holland gives one of the great breakthrough performances of 2012 as their oldest son. Amazingly, the film is based on real people and their actual experiences. Director Juan Antonio Bayona has made a respectful film about one of the worst recorded disasters in human history. It’s a testament to the people who lost their lives, and those who survived. Watts will tear your heart out, especially when she lets out her first, terrifying scream. Of all the images that stuck in my head from 2012 films, that might be the one that I remember the most. Grimm NOT FADE AWAY

Not Fade Away features the rose-colored reminisces of Sopranos creator David Chase. In the 1960s, Chase was a drummer in a rock band that never made it, and not so coincidentally, Douglas (John Magaro) plays drums in a rock band that never makes it. The central conflict, outside of the band’s uphill climb, is between Douglas and his father (James Gandolfini), who is just too stubborn to see that his son has dreams, man. For a movie that is not-so-loosely based on real events—and real events that happened to the guy who wrote and directed the movie—Not Fade Away sure seems to have a pedestrian, surface view of everything. It’s all common, predictable and sanitized. This trip down memory lane isn’t one worth taking. Boyd PROMISED LAND

Just what the hell is this film trying to say? Matt Damon plays a corporate man who goes to a small farming town to buy up their land for natural gas mining. His corporation intends to utilize fracking, a drilling method that cracks stone far beneath the Earth’s surface and releases natural gas. It’s a method with some known environmental side effects, and I think this movie is preaching against it. Or is

CINEMA ‘Gangster Squad’ was delayed, but it should have been shelved

Bang, Bang, Yawn, Yawn BY BOB GRIMM, bgrimm@tucsonwekly.com hen the release date of Gangster Squad was delayed after the Aurora, Colo., theater shootings, the reason seemed to be due to a scene depicting violence in a movie theater. That scene, which was featured in the trailer, has been removed. They should’ve scrapped the whole picture. This movie is a mess. Gangster Squad is a very, very fictional account of the Los Angeles Police Department’s “under the table” efforts to remove gangster Mickey Cohen (played here by a truly awful Sean Penn) from power. While next to nothing in this movie actually happened, I could forgive a little artistic license when it comes to a gangster pic. What I can’t forgive is cartoon caricatures, terrible performances, a misguided directorial tone and crap screenplay. Hello, January. The film is set in 1949 Los Angeles, where mobster Cohen has a firm grip on organized crime and the cops. Well-meaning LAPD Chief Parker (a typically grizzled Nick Nolte) tells brave Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) to leave his badge at home, gather a squad of badasses and disrupt Cohen’s operations. The squad includes soft-voiced Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), a slightly blasé officer who plays with his lighter a lot. There’s also the brainiac (Giovanni Ribisi), who will spend much of the movie wearing headphones and tinkering with things. There’s the knife-wielding officer Coleman Harris (Anthony Mackie), who will throw a knife at your hand in a crowded nightclub, even though he’s a cop and probably shouldn’t be doing things like that, what with lots of people standing around and all. And, finally, there’s the comic book hero (Robert Patrick) and his sidekick (Michael Pena) both great with their guns and the wisecracks. Together, they form a force that they wish was as cool as the Untouchables, but achieves a lameness factor on par with the Scooby Doo gang (Live-action Scooby, not animated. Animated Scooby was cool). Director Ruben Fleischer is shooting for an authentic late-’40s gangster film feel, but achieves something more akin to parody. It’s a bunch of usually decent actors playing dressup with their toy guns, and they all seem lost. Emma Stone wastes her time as perhaps the film’s most bizarre character. She is Cohen’s etiquette coach (rather than making her a straight-up hooker), somebody who is sleeping with a monster, and then two-timing him with Gosling’s Wooter. And, yet, we are supposed to like her.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in Gangster Squad.

Gangster Squad Rated R Starring Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Josh Brolin Directed by Ruben Fleischer Village Roadshow, 113 minutes Now playing at AMC Loews Foothills 15 (888262-4386), Century El Con 20 (800-326-3264, ext. 902), Century Park Place 20 (800-326-3264, ext. 903), Century Theatres at the Oro Valley Marketplace (800-326-3264, ext. 899), Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18 (806-4275) and Tower Theaters at Arizona Pavilions (579-0500).

Good luck trying to make that character sympathetic. They dress Stone up in heavy makeup and flashy dresses, and feed her terrible dialogue. She’s completely wrong for the role, although I would have a hard time picking somebody right for it. Penn has chewed scenery before (I Am Sam, Casualties of War). This time out, he not only chews the scenery, he’s a freaking wood chipper. His entire performance goes in his hilariously contorted face and shoots out his butt. I appreciate Penn as an actor most of the time, but sometimes—just sometimes—he can be the worst actor on the planet. This is one of those times. Regrettably, the more reliable Gosling is just as bad, perhaps worse. He decides to utilize a voice here that makes him sound like a 12-yearold kid doing a lame James Cagney impersonation. It’s bad to the point of distraction, as is his constantly flipping his lighter in a manner that I’m sure he thinks is authentic. We get it Ryan Gosling … you learned how to flip your lighter, ’40s style. Now, knock it off. Gangster Squad lacks originality, a sense of purpose, style, class, ducks (I didn’t see one damn duck in this whole movie!), Michael Keaton (although it feels like his Johnny Dangerously character could pop out any moment) and a basic overall reason for being. The problem with this film wasn’t the violent movie theater scene they had to excise. The whole damn thing stinks.

End of Watch (Blu-ray) UNIVERSAL MOVIE B+ SPECIAL FEATURES B BLU-RAY GEEK FACTOR 7 (OUT OF 10)

This riveting cop thriller features strong work from Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael PeĂąa as L.A. cops who get themselves in a lot of trouble with a drug cartel while on the job. This one was written and directed by David Ayer, who is no stranger to cop dramas. He wrote Training Day and directed Street Kings, another film about the LAPD. He also directed Christian Bale, quite well I might add, in Harsh Times. End of Watch proves to be his greatest achievement. I was a little worried this was going to be a foundfootage film (a genre I am beginning to hate) when Gyllenhaalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character starting filming stuff for some project. His footage plays into the film a little, but this is mostly a straightforward narrative without that particular gimmick. The supporting cast includes Anna Kendrick as Janet, Gyllenhaalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gal pal, while America Ferrera is good as a fellow officer. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also Frank Grillo, so good in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Grey, as another officer. Universal tried to build some Oscar buzz for Gyllenhaal and PeĂąa toward the end of last year, but failed to get them any nominations. The campaign made sense, though, because these guys elevate this beyond a decent thriller into something quite memorable. Up next for Ayer? A movie called Ten which is another drug cartel/cop thriller starring some dude named Arnold Schwarzenegger. Looks like Ayer is sticking close to home with his future topics. SPECIAL FEATURES: Ayer provides a good commentary. You get ďŹ ve behind-thescenes featurettes and some deleted scenes.

it? In the end, the film seems more concerned with salvaging the Damon character as virtuous rather than tackling the bigger questions it seems to be asking. John Krasinski, who co-wrote the screenplay with Damon, also plays a strange, strange character in the movie who serves to do nothing but puzzle the viewer. Damon was supposed to direct, but had to call upon friend Gus Van Sant to take over. The result is the second bad film in a row from Van Sant (after Restless), normally a very reliable director. Grimm SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK

As Pat, a recently institutionalized former teacher battling through his newly single life and his bipolar disorder, Bradley Cooper sends a thunderous message in Silver Linings Playbook: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legitimate, big-time dramatic actor. However, as good as Cooper is, the movie (and indeed, possibly the year) belongs to Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, whose portrayal of the unstable nymphomaniac who somewhat literally waltzes into Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is simply transcendent. The fact that both of them are executing at such high levels in a rather unconventional film is a testament as much to director David O. Russell as the actors. Russell (The Fighter) has been working for nearly 20 years to find his signature project, and here it isâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;strange, kinetic, funny, sad, totally original and surprisingly moving. Silver Linings Playbook is one of the best films of the year. Boyd SISTER

Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein) is a small-time thief. The 12-year-old hangs around the ski resort at the top of the hill, stealing equipment and picking pockets, then returning to the bottom of the hill to sell what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collected. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how he and his older, less ambitious sister (LĂŠa Seydoux) make due. Simon weaves in and out, largely unnoticed, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonetheless a rough life for a kid, who when asked about his family, tells contradictory lies. Whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to shield the truth or simply to avoid facing the truth is not clear. The boy meets Kristin (Gillian Anderson), a mother of two who takes an instant liking to him and vice versa. He feels the pangs of needing a mother, something for which his sister, in so many ways, is ill-equipped. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concise look at poverty heavily indebted to two wonderful, sad performances. Boyd

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a moment in the latest Texas Chainsaw movie where Leatherfaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;now referred to by the family name Jed Sawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;throws his trademark weapon at a police officer, who moves out of the way so the chainsaw comes hurtling toward the camera. If you see it in 3D, the chainsaw almost looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming at you. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of 3D and, apparently, the whole point of this movie. But what if you just see it in traditional 2D? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter, because the 3D is such a non-factor, anyway, and the film is irredeemable regardless of whether or not you spring for glasses. This time around, we learn of a long-lost relative (Alexandra Daddario) who moves into the Sawyer family home, unwittingly letting her homicidal cousin back into the wild. You expect bad movies in early January, and Texas Chainsaw 3D delivers. Boyd ZERO DARK THIRTY

Director Kathryn Bigelow getting snubbed by Oscar for this taut, scary, intelligent movie about the war on terror and hunt for Osama bin Laden is a travesty. Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a travesty when it comes to movies and stuff, not so much in the grand scheme of things. Still, Bigelow deserves praise for putting together a film that is both an exciting political thriller and a terrific action movie. Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain is deserving of the accolades as Maya, a composite character of CIA agents who managed to find bin Laden in Pakistan and end his life. The film contains scenes of torture, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;pro-tortureâ&#x20AC;? by any means. A great movie that will only get greater with time, and yet another reason to call Bigelow one of the best in the business. Grimm

Luxor Café Now Petra Mediterranean Grill

otel restaurants face a special challenge in that they have to provide a menu that satisfies a wide range of customers, from those in the mood for an intimate dining experience to those who are interested in having a drink and watching the game, or having a meal with the family that everyone can enjoy. Epazote Kitchen and Cocktails, in the Hilton El Conquistador, is the only dinner option at the hotel. It does a great job of satisfying the needs of both hotel guests and local residents. The restaurant has a nice, open space with a separate bar, and TVs are visible only in the bar and patio areas, which is a nice touch. I always find it annoying when I’m trying to enjoy dinner in what’s supposed to be an upscale restaurant while TVs are on everywhere. The restaurant was busy on both of our visits. Although the place seemed understaffed, our servers remained friendly and helpful, even if the drinks and food took a few extra minutes to arrive at the table. The food is outstanding, although some dishes are a bit pricey for the portion size, mostly the appetizers. Despite the “cocktails” in the restaurant name, we didn’t see a specialty cocktail menu on either visit, though there is a well-stocked bar. But the wine menu has good variety, with a nice selection of local Arizona wines. However, the Arizona wines ranged from $11 to $12.50 per glass, pricey compared with $7 to $8.75 per glass for other wines. The menu is a mix of casual dishes (green chile pork nachos appetizer ($10), for instance), and more upscale dishes, like the crab tower appetizer ($14) and the herbgrilled filet of beef ($28). The crab tower appetizer was delicious. It included a generous amount of crab mixed with a sour-cream type dressing, avocado and pico de gallo, and was served with tortilla chips. The rock shrimp ceviche ($12) was also very tasty—the jicama added a great textural contrast to the shrimp, but the portion seemed quite small for the price. The chicken tortilla soup ($8) also suffered from the high price/small portion problem, but the rich broth was fantastically flavored and had the perfect amount of spiciness. However, my bowl didn’t have much in the way of actual chicken in it. The wedge salad—with bacon, corn, cucumber, tomato, cotija cheese and chipotle ($8)—was a refreshing way to begin the meal, although the kitchen forgot to put the corn on the salad. On both visits, our entrées were absolutely

Petra Mediterranean Grill has opened in the space previously occupied by The Luxor Café at 3699 N. Campbell Ave. There’s a change in the feel of the place, but Petra’s food is similar in style to its predecessor’s. The music has been toned down to create a more relaxed atmosphere, and the new management has done away with the dance floor. It seems as though there’s been an effort to become a bit more upscale.

Ted’s beef short ribs ($21), with goat’s-milk mashed potatoes and carrots, were fall-apart tender and had a sweet yet tangy barbecue sauce. My flatiron steak ($19), with roasted fingerling potatoes and portabella mushrooms, was done a perfect medium-rare, and the spicy tomatillo sauce brought a bright, fresh flavor to the dish. For round two, Ted tried the pork tenderloin ($19) with sun-dried cherry barbecue sauce and a refreshing apple-jicama slaw. The tenderloin was beautifully prepared, retaining that juicy touch of pink in the center, and the cherry barbecue sauce wasn’t too sweet or overpowering. My Pacific sea bass ($24) was wonderfully crispy on the outside while still moist and flaky on the inside. And the marinated tomatoes exploded with juiciness and flavor, complementing the fish well. Dessert ended our meals on a great note. The El Conquistador cheesecake ($7) is served with toasted pecans, spicy brittle and a rosemary chile caramel sauce, which I initially thought sounded like an awful mix. But thankfully I was wrong. It was a unique and delicious flavor combination. The peach cobbler ($7) can only be described as amazing—it is a huge dessert (bring friends and

The folks who brought us the Sawmill Run restaurant on Mount Lemmon are at it again. They are apparently assembling a staff for a new restaurant at 5750 S.

The owners are shooting for an opening in late March or early April.

Gary Burton and Chick Corea bring 41 years of collaboration to the Fox

Decades As a Duo

By Stephen Seigel, musiced@tucsonweekly.com

Saint Maybe Chick Corea

BY GENE ARMSTRONG, garmstrong@tucsonweekly.com ibraphonist Gary Burton and keyboards player Chick Corea knew each other a little, but they had never before played together when they teamed up for an impromptu jam at a jazz festival at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. “We were both on the program, and when the organizers went around and asked the musicians who were at the festival if they would participate in a jam session for the finale of the show, only me and Chick agreed,” Burton said recently via phone from his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he has lived for the last 10 years. “We quickly rehearsed some songs we could play. One of the songs was ‘La Fiesta,’ which we still play to this day. Chick had just written it at the time. As it turned out, we had one of the best receptions of any of the performers that night. The audience loved it.” At the festival was Manfred Eicher of Munich-based ECM Records, then a relatively new and still unproven label. Eicher “asked us to make a record, and six months later, we were in the studio,” Burton said. The result was the pair’s now-classic debut, Crystal Silence. Corea and Burton are celebrating their 40th anniversary as a duo and their seventh collaborative album, Hot House, with their latest tour, which visits Tucson this Saturday for a UApresents concert at the Fox Theatre. Not only was the duo immediately compatible on stage, but they also found right away that they worked together easily in the studio. When making Crystal Silence, Burton and Corea had allotted three days for rehearsal and recording. But they only needed a fraction of that time, Burton said. “We figured we would finish two or three songs a day. We showed up in the studio, and immediately decided to try recording a song. We were done in one take. That was good, so we moved on. We finished the whole thing in three hours. I think we did two takes on ‘Señor Mouse,’ and all the others we finished in one take.” Burton and Corea have played together each year since, no matter what other projects they have participated in. Corea, now 71, began playing piano when he was 4. His career began in the early 1960s, when he played with artists such as Mongo Santamaria, Blue Mitchell, Herbie Mann, Sarah Vaughn and Stan Getz. He joined Miles Davis’ band in the late ’60s and played on such legendary albums as In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Although Corea often plays acoustic and Latin jazz, he helped pioneer jazz fusion with his groups Return to Forever and the Chick

Corea Elektric Band. He also has played with Michael Brecker, Paul Motian, Christian McBride, John McLaughlin, Kenny Garrett, Herbie Hancock and Béla Fleck. Burton, a self-taught vibes player, began playing as a teenager in the late 1950s. An early mentor was saxophonist Boots Randolph, who lived near Burton in southern Indiana. Randolph took the 17-year-old Burton to Nashville and introduced him to country guitarist Hank Garland. Burton subsequently played on Garland’s groundbreaking 1961 jazz recording, Jazz Winds From a New Direction. Around that time he also performed with such country legends as pianist Floyd Cramer and guitarist Chet Atkins. “The thing I discovered was that country music has always had a big relationship with jazz. The concept of being a hot improviser exists in country music as well as in jazz, so a lot of those country guys study jazz closely,” Burton said. He further explored that relationship on his 1966 album Tennessee Firebird, which combined jazz-rock with country and bluegrass. Burton has led many of his own groups, and has played with, to name a few, George Shearing, Pat Metheny, Stephane Grappelli, Keith Jarrett, Carla Bley, Steve Lacy and B.B. King. Originally inspired by such vibraphonists as Red Norvo, Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson, Burton is now considered one of the masters of his instrument. He also has been largely responsible for popularizing the use of four mallets, rather than the traditional two. “When I started playing, people told me it was too hard to play with four mallets, that it wasn’t worth the trouble. But I needed to have that harmony. It’s not really that hard once you get used to it. Now, I’d say two-thirds of all vibes players under 60 play with four mallets.” Corea and Burton have won more than a dozen Grammy Awards between them, including four for their work as a duo. They are nominated for three Grammies this year for their latest collaboration, Hot House, which highlights music that was happening when they both began their careers in the 1950s and ’60s. The new album includes compositions by Tadd Dameron, Thelonious Monk, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Bill Evans, as well as the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby.” The only tunes not conforming to the theme are the opening and closing tracks: the 1930s-era standard “Can’t We Be Friends” and a new tune by Corea, “Mozart Goes Dancing.” Also on Hot House is Dave Brubeck’s “Strange Meadow Lark.” Burton proudly noted

that Brubeck got a chance to hear Hot House before he died last month at 91. “We got a nice letter from Iola, his wife, that was written a week before he died. It said he had listened to the record and really liked the interpretation we did of his song, and the whole record. Now, that letter is one of my prized possessions.” Burton, who will turn 70 on Jan. 23, said working with Corea has been the most enduring and satisfying partnership in his career. When they get together to tour, they need only minutes to get up to speed. “Even if we haven’t played together for six or eight or 10 months, we’ll just allow an extralong sound check at that first concert. It takes about 10 minutes before we feel like no time has passed at all.” Their rapport is extraordinary, Burton said. “If I were to rate it on a 1to10 scale, I would say most of the musicians I have played with are a six or a seven. With Chick, it has always been a 10. And it was that way immediately.” The duo format offers a unique method of musical communication, he said. “If you’re playing alone, it’s like you’re giving a speech. And if you’re in a group, you are part of a good discussion, with lots of lively side conversations going on. But if you are in a duo, it’s like having an intimate conversation with one of your best friends. You finish each other’s sentences; you can tell what the other person is thinking; you know when to speak and when to listen.”

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s become all the rage in recent years for pop and rock bands to perform backed by symphony orchestras. Typically, bands will set up dates with the orchestras indigenous to whatever towns they’re visiting well ahead of time, giving the orchestras time to rehearse the material; and then the band shows up and performs a unique, one-time-only show in each town. The method seems to apply to popular music acts regardless of genre: Romantic gypsy band DeVotchKa’s done it. Aging British rockers like The Who and the Moody Blues have done it. When Jimmy Kimmel brought his late-night show to Brooklyn last year, his musical guest on one of the shows was the rootsy Avett Brothers backed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic. Hell, even hard rockers like Guns N’ Roses and Kiss have done it. (It may seem anathema to a genre built on rebellion, but all rules went out the window right around the time Jann Wenner thought the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a good idea. Pop and rock music has become respectable, damnit! And as a by-product, a new generation of fans is— hopefully—turned on to the symphony.) Even our own Calexico’s done it, albeit in Europe. Last summer, someone on my Facebook feed posted a link to one of those European Calexico shows as it was happening. I clicked on it and caught the end of the show; and, I have to admit, it was pretty fantastic. Calexico’s music, with its wide-open desert feel, almost seemed like it was written to be performed this way. And it got me excited for their scheduled show in Tucson this week, where they would perform with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Except that they’re not. Due to a scheduling conflict, Calexico had to cancel the collaboration. But remarkably enough, the Indigo Girls, currently out on a tour on which select dates are performed with local orchestras, were able to step in on the very same date as the originally scheduled Calexico show. (See, that’s how many bands are getting in on the act!) How the harmony-rich folk-pop duo’s music translates to widescreen remains to be seen by Tucsonans, but this isn’t the Girls’ first trip to the orchestral rodeo: They first performed with an orchestra in 2001. The arrangements for the orchestral stops on the current tour were done by seasoned veterans Sean O’Loughlin (Chris Isaak, Feist, The Decemberists, Josh Ritter) and Stephen Barber (Rosanne Cash, Alejandro Escovedo, John Legend), and the shows have been receiving fantastic reviews. Indigo Girls fans and curiosity seekers alike can find out for themselves when the Indigo Girls perform with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Tucson Music Hall, 260 S. Church Ave. Tickets are $49 and

THE CANCELLATION POLKA Speaking of scheduling snafus …. In November of 2012, it seemed like half the shows scheduled to take place in Tucson were canceled at the last minute. The Daniel Johnston show scheduled to take place at Club Congress was called off due to “scheduling conflicts.” (Pro tip: Usually, when a show is canceled the day before it’s supposed to happen due to scheduling conflicts, it ain’t scheduling conflicts.) Rick Ross’ Maybach Group Tour, scheduled for Nov. 27 at the TCC Arena, was called off on the day of the show, also due to “scheduling conflicts.” (In fact, the remainder of the tour ended up being canceled. Do a little Internet sleuthing on that one — there are some pretty frightening theories out there as to why.) And the Wovenhand show scheduled for Club Congress on the following night, Nov. 28, was canceled for a far less mysterious reason: illness. The good news, then, is that two out of those three shows have been rescheduled. The Daniel Johnston show is now set to take place at Congress on Saturday, Feb. 2. (After you read about the Rick Ross situation, you might agree that it’s probably a good thing that one hasn’t been rescheduled.) And the intense, darkly spiritual Wovenhand, led by former 16 Horsepower frontman David Eugene Edwards, is now scheduled to perform at Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St., on Tuesday, Jan. 22. Tucson’s Saint Maybe, whose 2012 debut album Things As They Are received nearly universal acclaim, will open the show at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $10 and available at hotelcongress.com/club or by calling 622-8848.

FOLK IN SAHUARITA Despite its name, the shows in the 12th Annual Javarita Coffeehouse Concert Series don’t actually take place at the Javarita Coffeehouse in Sahuarita anymore. Although these days the shows take place at the nearby Good Shepherd United Church of Christ, also in Sahuarita, the series’ mission remains the same: providing “top-notch acoustic roots music, while also educating and informing our performers about the situation and struggles of the Borderlands and the Southwest desert,” according to its website. What began as a series of jam sessions and open mic nights has evolved into a full-fledged series of roughly once-a-month shows. The current series has already featured performances by Christopher James, the Silver Thread Trio, and a Mariachi Christmas show with Azteca del Sol, and upcoming shows include Tom Russell (Friday, Feb. 15), Scott Ainslie (Friday, March 15), and Work o’ the Weavers (Friday, April 12). And this week, on Friday, Jan. 18, the series will feature a concert by Tom Chapin. Chapin is, of course, the brother of Harry Chapin, the late, beloved singer-songwriter whose songs include “W*O*L*D,” “Taxi,” and his biggest hit, “Cat’s in the Cradle.” (Harry died in a car accident in 1981.) Prior to Harry’s solo career, Harry and Tom, along with their brother Steve, released an album as a trio without much success, which led the brothers down their own individual career paths. Although Harry’s folk-pop landed him on the pop charts, Tom, along with continuing to perform his own brand of folk, also hosted the TV

Three of his albums of children’s stories have won him Grammy Awards in the category of Best Spoken Word Album for Children. This week he puts on his singer-songwriter hat (although I’m guessing there will be some storytelling and a few of Harry’s songs involved, too) for a performance at 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18, at The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ in Sahuarita, 17750 S. La Cañada Dr. Tickets are $20 at the door. For more info check out thegoodshepherducc.org or call 625-1375.

Wendy van Leuveren is an online marketing consultant, social media manager and event coordinator. When she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t organizing and promoting local art, dance or film industry events, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved by photographing them. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky, she might do a Dutch clog dance for you. Kristine Peashock, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com

What was the first concert you ever saw? Besides my friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows? Duran Duran with the Cranberries. I had to sneak out of the house in order to see them â&#x20AC;Ś and then promptly fell asleep during the headlining set. What are you listening to these days? Right now, Empire of the Sun, Sebastien Tellier, Kavinsky, Metronomy and the xx are on my playlists. What was the first album you owned? I was living in Holland at the time and was given my cool auntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand-me-downs, so I actually had four records: Blondie, Parallel Lines; Prince, Purple Rain; Fleetwood Mac, Rumours; and the single â&#x20AC;&#x153;P.S.â&#x20AC;? by the Dolly Dots (a Dutch pop band). What artist, genre or musical trend does everyone seem to love, but you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get? Music from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. Obviously, many talented artists and interesting ideas came out of that era, but, god, if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t depressing! What musical act, current or defunct, would you most like to see perform live? The Pixies. Musically speaking, what is your favorite guilty pleasure? Why feel guilty about anything I do, especially when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleasurable? What song would you like to have played at your funeral? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thinking Backâ&#x20AC;?, by Kraak & Smaak during an Irish-style wake would be nice. What band or artist changed your life, and how? Reggie and the Full Effect made me realize that music can be excellent and humorous at the same time. The lead singer has a few alternate personas; the band is composed of oft-changing members from other groups like the Get Up Kids, From Autumn to Ashes, etc.; and they put on a great live show. Figurative gun to your head, what is your favorite album of all time? Aesop Rock, Labor Days, and Deltron 3030 by Del the Funky Homosapien with DJ Kid Koala, have both stood the test of time.

WED JAN 23 LIVE MUSIC

ELLIOTT

Greg Brown

GREG BROWN RIALTO THEATRE Sunday, Jan. 13 Many musicians play sincere music, but that doesn’t necessarily make it good. In addition to possessing a performing persona that is warm, gracious and sincere, the singer-songwriter Greg Brown uses a homegrown amalgam of folk, blues and country to create great songs. Balancing traditional Midwestern ideals and ’60s hippie attitudes, Brown’s music can be humorous, charming, dark, heartwarming, sexy and spooky. He was all those things at the Rialto last Sunday night. During the course of a concert that lasted—with a brief intermission—for almost 2½ hours, he played a few songs from each of his two most recent albums, Freak Flag and Hymns to What Is Left, as well as reaching as far back as “Daughters,” from his 1981 album The Iowa Waltz. Brown has never been precious about his art, and this night was no different. He regaled the crowd with rambling intros, some as long as the songs were, and he read a poem he had written that day, in which he rhymed “saguaro” with “tomorrow” and mentioned the late Tucson music legend Rainer Ptacek, a close friend who died more than 15 years ago. He slyly reinterpreted older tunes such as “Canned Goods,” “Poor Backslider,” “The Poet Game,” “Just by Myself” and “Good Morning Coffee,” and some were arranged differently enough that they were at first tough to recognize. This was a good thing, proof that his songs are not static or frozen in time. Songs change with the years, like people do, and many of these have gotten more gritty and bluesy. Which is appropriate, in a way. Brown, at 63, has become a bit more grizzled, a little thicker in the middle and with more than a little gray in his beard. Then again, many of us who have been listening to him for decades have, too. Several recent songs referred to age and aging, such as the creaky “Bones Bones” and whimsical “Fat Boy Blues,” but that’s nothing new. Brown has addressed those subjects in song at least since the mid-1980s. And, although he is known for a chestrumbling baritone, Brown adopted an atypical falsetto for “Besham’s Bokerie,” a haunting folk-blues fever dream. The show ended with tributes to two of Brown’s heroes; he covered Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” and Bob Dylan’s “Highway 51 Blues.”

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S YOUR RUPTURE?

RCA

Everything in the short-yetbountiful career of Ty Segallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;intensity, hooks, magnificently flailing guitarsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; points to an album like Twins, but his eighth record is simply better across the board. The brash and restless Segall plays garage rock with energetic abandon, yet far from wearing him down, his quick and steady stream of albums has only served to add more chops and nuanced songwriting along with experience. Twins opens with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God for Sinners,â&#x20AC;? a heartfelt celebration of hedonism in all its tempting forms, wildly buzzing guitars pushing Segallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocals to a shout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the Doctorâ&#x20AC;? is a pummeling dose of punk rock drums that leads into the screaming guitar that drives â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Your Heart.â&#x20AC;? Without dropping the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urgency level, Segall also delivers a ghostly falsetto for the spooky blues of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Handglams,â&#x20AC;? duets with Brigid Dawson of Thee Oh Sees on the heavily psychedelic â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hill,â&#x20AC;? and leans on a brashly strummed acoustic guitar for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gold on the Shore.â&#x20AC;? Segall plays like his career has a much shorter shelf life than most would hope to witness, but his wild restlessness is a perfectly fitting way to present Twins. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable about the prolific 2012 Segall had is the lack of quality control issues: three albums with basically zero fat. He remains raw and exciting across a trio of albums, but with Twins, he actually managed to save the best for last. Eric Swedlund

This album by a young Brooklyn foursome turned out to be a pleasant surprise, a quick and explosive 15-song sprint through artistically artless pre-hardcore-era punk and catchy post-punk noise. Doubly good: It gets better with repeated listens. Apparently the band, cofronted by singers, guitarists and songwriters Andrew Savage and Austin Brown, previously issued a cassetteonly album of four-track recordings. But this is its first proper, widely available album release. Part of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal is that it recalls exceptional touchstones in popular music history: Wire, Gang of Four, Mission of Burma. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt if the listener is fond of that brief era in late-20th-century music, but the guys reconnect those dots in bracing and inventive ways, the resulting effect being that their music sounds brisk and fresh. One of the highlights is the Sonic Youth-esque â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stoned and Starving,â&#x20AC;? during which the band seems to repeatedly lose itself in feedback and distortion, then crawls back, almost gratefully, to the melody several times over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comparative epic of five minutes on an album on which most tracks clock in at less than three. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe a little Buzzcocks in the way they slip revved-up pop vocal melodies between the jagged guitars, some occasional atonality probably inspired by The Fall, Kraftwerk-style â&#x20AC;&#x153;motorikâ&#x20AC;? drumming, serpentine guitar wrestling a la Television, and droll, conversational singing like that of Jonathan Richman in many Modern Lovers tunes. These guys obviously have great record collections. And this album ought to find a home in some others. Gene Armstrong

In fact, I might have done that in the car on my way to see Django Unchained. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel guilty about it. The albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonic template has a lot in common with the recent crop of deconstructed R&B weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been enjoyingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Miguel, the Weeknd, Frank Ocean. It also recalls the noisy electro-murk of experimental indie acts like Crystal Castles and Gang Gang Dance, yet it still boasts the ferociously lyrical passages of the best rap records, such as the all-star free-for-all on â&#x20AC;&#x153;1 Trainâ&#x20AC;? that features Rocky trading verses with Danny Brown, Kendrick Lamar and others. But as trendy as Rocky acknowledges he is, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a riveting presence on Long.Live.A$AP, telling us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;call [him] Basquiat Picassoâ&#x20AC;? on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phoenixâ&#x20AC;? and then boasting â&#x20AC;&#x153;My bitch white, but my cock blackâ&#x20AC;? on â&#x20AC;&#x153;PMW (All I Really Need)â&#x20AC;? (which, by the way, stands for Pussy, Money, Weed). Rockyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crude and tough, witty and soulful, in turn. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not sure about the identity politics involved in turning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fashion Killaâ&#x20AC;? into a sing-along, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as I walked across the UA campus the other day, an SUV containing two fratty white guys drove by, windows down, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fuckinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Problemsâ&#x20AC;? blasting at full volume, backward-turned baseball caps nodding along with the beat. And it sounded great. Sean Bottai

MEDICAL MJ Surveys say that public opinion is trending toward legislation

Puff, Pass and Poll BY J.M. SMITH, jsmith@tucsonweekly.com t seems marijuana polls are all the rage these days, given the way the winds of change swept through Washington, Colorado, Connecticut and Massachusetts in November, and they pop up all over the place when you search the Internet for, say, ideas for a medical marijuana column. Just last week in Hawaii, which seems far away but is actually a neighboring state if you skip over Mexico, a group seeking legal reform released a survey (http://acluhawaii.files. wordpress.com/2013/01/ dpagmarijuanapolicyfindings.pdf) highlighting public opinion there. The Drug Policy Action Group, a pro-cannabis organization, had a research firm ask 603 locals about various aspects of cannabis law. Eighty-one percent approve of Hawaii’s current medical program, under which patients can only grow their own, and 78 percent would like to see a dispensary system. But even more encouraging was the finding that 57 percent of Hawaiians would vote for full legalization. Um, that’s enough to win, people. In fact, only 40 percent opposed legalization. In politics, a 17 percent deficit is like a shit-ton of sand poured from a dump truck onto your chest. When you are that far behind in the

polls, it’s time to roll up the banners and put away the megaphone. And these numbers are shifting toward legalization over time. The same survey in 2005 showed the opposite result—roughly 60 percent wanted cannabis illegal and 40 percent wanted it legal. So it seems it’s only a matter of time before Hawaii follows Washington and Colorado to legalization. Get out the vote, Drug Policy Action Group. Mahalo.

If you look at the trend, there has been a steady decline in the number of cannabis haters and a steady increase in the number of sensible Americans. Finally, in the past three years, more people favor legalization than not. The ages in the Gallup poll are telling. Sixty percent of respondents ages 18 to 29 said cannabis should be legal. But 61 percent in the 56-and-older group want marijuana illegal. That matters a lot, because older people vote and younger ones don’t. Advantage, old folks who don’t like cannabis. Boo, old people. Others There are other surveys showing various levels of support for loosening the marijuana law choke chain. In Indiana, 53 percent of residents

recently told Ball State University pollsters that small amounts of marijuana should be treated like a traﬃc ticket. Only 40 percent opposed that idea. In New Hampshire, a private pollster found that 68 percent of folks there want legislators to pass a pending MMJ law. Fifty-two percent said a lawmaker’s vote on the matter would sway their opinion of the lawmakers. So, there are more and more hints every day, hints from research ﬁrms and professional pollsters (we know we can trust them. They’re pollsters) and TV talking heads and news tickers, showing that America is getting closer and closer to ending prohibition. So put down your legal pads and step away from the Legislature, cannabis haters. The world is passing you by. I’m down.

The Big Picture The national picture is similar. In a lateNovember Gallup poll (http://www. gallup.com/ poll/159152/ americans-federalgov-statemarijuana-laws. aspx), a somewhatless-encouraging 48 percent want marijuana legalized. That’s not enough to win, but it’s better than the 35ish percent who wanted it legal in a 2005 Gallup poll. In 1969, the ﬁrst year Gallup asked about marijuana, just 12 percent did. That’s what I call progress. Sixty-four percent in the Gallup poll said they want the feds to back oﬀ in states where cannabis is legal. Even among people who think marijuana should be illegal, 43 percent want the feds to respect state cannabis laws.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny. Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY HOROSCOPE 1-877-873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700 $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone required. ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it,” wrote 19th-century poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. “Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of the earth.” This is good counsel for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, Aries. I suspect you will have a good, clear shot at a target you’ve been trying to get close to for a long time. Make sure you adjust your trajectory to account for the attraction of the earth. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you learn a novel idea or a crucial new lesson while you are tipsy or outright blitzed, you will probably forget it when you sober up. And it will remain forgotten as long as you abstain. But there’s a good chance you will recall the vanished information the next time you get loopy. I’m telling you this, Taurus, because even if you haven’t been inebriated lately, you have definitely been in an altered and expanded state of consciousness. I’m afraid that when you come back down to earth in a few days, you might lose some of the luminous insights you’ve been adding to your repertoire. Is there anything you can do to ensure you will retain these treasures? It would be a shame to lose track of them until the next time your mind gets thoroughly blown open. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Studying the movements of the planets is my main way of discerning the hidden currents of fate. I sometimes supplement my investigations by reading Tarot cards and the Chinese “Book of Changes,” also known as the I Ching. To arrive at your horoscope this week, I used all of the above as well as the following forms of prognostication: catoptromancy, which is divination by gazing into a mirror underwater; cyclomancy, or divination by watching a wheel that’s turning; geloscopy, divination by listening to random laughter; and margaritomancy, divination by observing bouncing pearls. Here’s what I found, Gemini: You now have the power to discern previously unfathomable patterns in a puzzling mystery you’ve been monitoring. You also have the ability to correctly surmise the covert agendas of allies and adversaries alike. Maybe best of all, you can discover certain secrets you’ve been concealing from yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “To be reborn is a constantly recurring human need,” said drama critic Henry Hewes. I agree. We all need to periodically reinvent ourselves—to allow the old ways to die so that we can resurrect ourselves in unforeseen new forms. According to my analysis, Cancerian, your next scheduled rebirth is drawing near. For best results, don’t cling to the past; don’t imitate what has always worked before. Instead, have faith that surrendering to the future will bring you the exact transformation you need. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): My readers Paul and Sophie wrote to let me know they have patched together three Latin words to invent a term for a new concept: vomfiabone. They say it means “a curse that becomes a blessing.” Here’s an example of the phenomenon at work in their lives: While driving home from work together, they experienced car trouble and had to pull over to the shoulder of the road, where they called a tow truck. Later they discovered that this annoying delay prevented them from getting caught in the middle of an accident just up ahead. Extrapolating from the current astrological omens, I’m guessing that you will experience at least one vomfiabone in the coming week, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I bet that in the next five months you will be obliged to carry more responsibility than you have in the past. You will find it hard to get away with being lazy or careless. I suspect that during this time you will also have the privilege of wielding more influence. The effect you have on people will be more pronounced and enduring. In short, Virgo, your workload will be greater than usual—and so will your rewards. To the degree that you serve the greater good, you will be a major player. As for next few weeks, you should concentrate on the work and service and responsibility part of this equation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you know what a “binky” is? It’s what a rabbit does when it gets so crazily happy that it exuberantly leaps up into the air, stretching and twisting its body as it flicks and flops its feet. I’m not sure if lexicographers would allow us to apply this term to humans. But assuming they might, I’m going to predict that you’ll soon be having some binky-inducing experiences. You’re

entering the Joy and Pleasure Season, Libra—a time when abundant levels of fun and well-being might be quite normal. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know that area on your back that you can’t quite reach if you want to scratch it? It’s called your acnestis. I propose that we make it your featured metaphor of the week. Why? Because I suspect you will have to deal with a couple of itchy situations that are just beyond your ability to relieve. Yes, this may be frustrating in the short run. But it will ultimately make you even more resourceful than you already are. By this time next week, you will have figured out alternative solutions that you haven’t even imagined yet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We need new friends,” said essayist Logan Pearsall Smith. “Some of us are cannibals who have eaten their old friends up; others must have ever-renewed audiences before whom to re-enact an ideal version of their lives.” Smith could have been talking about you Sagittarians in early 2013. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, you need some fresh

alliances. Their influence will activate certain potentials that you haven’t been able to access or fully express with the help of your current circle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A San Francisco writer named Maneesh Sethi decided he was wasting too much time on the Internet. His productivity was suffering. So he hired a woman to sit next to him as he worked and yell at him or slap his face every time his attention wandered off in the direction of Facebook or a funny video. It worked. He got a lot more done. While I would like to see you try some inventive approaches to pumping up your own efficiency, Capricorn, I don’t necessarily endorse Sethi’s rather gimmicky technique. Start brainstorming about some interesting yet practical new ways to enhance your self-discipline, please. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Ronnyjohnson618” is a guy who posts his opinions on a wide variety of Youtube videos. Many times, he claims to be an expert in the field he’s commenting on. Responding to a live music performance, he says he’s a conductor for an orchestra.

Offering his opinion about a mimosa plant, he asserts that he is a botanist. Beneath other Youtube videos, he declares he is a meteorologist, chemist, psychologist, soldier and geometry teacher. I love this guy’s blithe swagger; I’m entertained by the brazen fun he’s having. As you express yourself in the coming week, I recommend that you borrow some of his over-the-top audacity. Create a mythic persona. Imagine your life as an epic story. Play the part of a hero. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The earliest performance artist on record was the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope. In one of his notorious stunts, he wandered around Athens with a lit lantern during the daytime, claiming to be looking for an authentic human being. I recommend that you undertake a similar search in the coming days, Pisces. You don’t have to be as theatrical about it. In fact, it might be better to be quite discrete. But I think it’s important for you to locate and interact with people who are living their lives to the fullest—devoted to their brightest dreams, committed to their highest values and sworn to express their highest integrity.

¡ASK A MEXICAN! BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO, themexican@askamexican.net Dear Mexican: Can you please tell me something? How do you think it’s fair that all the people that come to our country and stay get treated far better than some of the people who have busted their butt all their lives here—tell me how is that fair?! You people take all the white man’s jobs and leave us wondering how to support our families and you people have NEVER heard of the condom because if you have noticed—I sure have—your trashy kind are taking over. And you would think that if you go to another country, you would respect the people enough to learn the language spoken which here in the United States of America is ENGLISH! Please go back where you should be and stop taking all the benefits white people deserve. You all disgust me. South Carolina Taco Eater Dear Gabacha: This is what I love about ustedes Know Nothings: your aggressive ignorance of facts. A 2012 study by the Pew Research Center revealed that the birthrate for Mexican women is falling sharply, for both Chicanas and mexicanas. And while the birthrate for those mujeres is still higher than the birthrate for gabachas, it’s expected, not so much because Mexicans are naturally fecund, but because immigrants in general tend to have more kiddies than nativeborn Americans. Don’t believe me? The Pew Research Center also revealed that the percentage of children with foreign-born mothers is as high as the turn of the 20th century, the last time trashy, non-English-speaking immigrants came to this country to save the States from native-born pendejas like yourself. I checked out of the Newport Beach Public Library a 2012 film titled For Greater Glory merely because my favorite actor (Peter O’Toole) was in it. And I was pleasantly surprised to find myself watching a well-told tale of a dramatic piece of Mexican history—La Cristiada—I’d never heard of. It seemed a pretty cut-and-dry instance of good versus evil: President Plutarco Calles in the 1920s brutally repressed Mexican Catholics from practicing their Catholicism. What surprised me was to then visit the IMDb message board for the moview and find some Mexicans who had viewed the film vehemently

taking the side of President Calles. Are Mexicans not so hyper-Catholic as I imagine?? Bewildered WASP Dear Gabacho: Just because one doesn’t side with the Cristeros doesn’t mean that one can’t be a good Catholic (and, yes, custodians of Shakespeare: I just used three negatives in a language where double-negatives are a no-no!). And, as typical of Hollywood when it comes to Mexican tales, For Greater Glory grossly simplifies the Cristeros revolt—but instead of me preaching, I’ll direct you to a withering critique offered by Rudy Acuña, the legendary godfather of Chicano studies who’s still at it in his golden years (he also just put the smackdown on the Mexican’s pal, Ruben Navarrette, and his bizarre attack at undocumented students). You can find the profe’s piece by googleando “Rudy Acuña Cristeros” but his summation is one that I agree with: Calles was enforcing the secularization mandates of the Mexican Revolution, which sought to not stop people from expressing their faith but rather take away the meddling might of the Catholic Church—you know, that whole chingadera about the separation of church and state? The Catholic Church, like today in the United States when it comes to Obamacare, took Calles’ enforcement of the Mexican Constitution as an existential attack on Mother Church, and the two sides butchered each other. Los Cristeros are still hailed as martyrs in Catholic Mexico, while historians nowadays consider Calles’ attack on Mexican Catholics as a continuation of the country’s constant conflict between the Church and its natives. But if you think Calles was a butcher, you should’ve seen what the padres did to the indigenous folks back in the days—simple facts that Cristeros fans never want to acknowledge because those priests made Calles look like Blessed John Paul II.

My name is Nancy, and I’m 19. My boyfriend’s name is Carl, we have been together for almost a year—our anniversary is actually February 14!— and we have great sex frequently! I want to do something sexy for us on our anniversary. I plan on being with Carl for years to come, and I don’t want the sex to become monotonous. For a while, I’ve wanted to go to a sex store to purchase a few things to spice things up. I found a supportive, nonjudgmental friend who wants a few kinky things for her and her boyfriend. As you can imagine, we’re both excited to go on this adventure, but there’s just one problem: I have no idea what to buy! Neither does my friend! I was hoping you had a few essentials that my friend and I should know about or consider purchasing. My boyfriend and I have never used such things, but I’m positive that with your help making the right purchases, he will be all for it! Both my friend and I are college students, so we’re on a budget. I’m hoping to stay under $100! I just want to keep our relationship going strong and keep things interesting between us sexually. Thanks, Dan!

One man’s scorching-hot sex toy is another man’s boring old roll of duct tape, NANCY. By which I mean to say… Turn-ons are subjective. Not all women are to all men’s tastes, not all men are to all women’s, and not all sex acts appeal equally to all. Likewise, sex toys that I might buy for my partner—sex toys I might be inclined to mention when asked to recommend one or two—might not appeal to your boyfriend. I’ll go further than that: The sex toys that turn my husband on would either terrify or stump your boyfriend. Instead of buying the sex toys that turn me or my husband on, it would be better to go shopping and find a few things that turn you on. And instead of shopping with your friend, you might want to go shopping with your boyfriend. But if you want to surprise your boyfriend— and that’s legit, and lots of people surprise their partners with sex toys on Valentine’s Day—I asked a few sex-toy merchants I like and trust for recommendations for you. Jennifer Pritchett from Smitten Kitten in Minneapolis, Minnesota (smittenkittenonline. com): “The variety of sexy gadgets and orgasmpromising gizmos can be overwhelming even for an experienced shopper. Don’t fret! Smart sextoy shoppers use a process of elimination. First, commit to a budget that you are comfortable with. Second, ask yourself what you want to do with it. Penetration or no? Vibration or no? Unsure? Then go with the most versatile toy possible. Try out the vibrating dildo by Pleasure Works called the Right Spot. This affordable toy is great for g-spot or prostate stimulation, comes with a removable vibrator, and can be sterilized easily! The Right Spot will keep up with your changing sexual tastes for years to come!” Claire Cavanah from Babeland in Seattle and New York City (babeland.com): “Nancy sounds like a great girlfriend—she’s taking responsibility for maintaining the hotness in her relationship. Bravo! She asked for the essentials, and that means vibrators and lube. We offer a kit called the Babeland Vibrator Starter Kit for $45. It consists of three vibrators: the Orchid G, which is great for, you guessed it, g-spot stimulation; the Silver Bullet, a standard vibe that has served as a gateway toy for many thousands of sex-toy lovers; and a Sonic Ring vibe, a stretchy cock ring that holds a vibrator on top of the penis or dildo for clit stimulation during penetration and gives the penis a good buzz, too. These rate as good starter toys because they’re easy to use, they’re unobtrusive and friendly looking, and they deliver a lot of power. She should take home a hardy lubricant like BabeLube or Sliquid as well. Happy

anniversary!” Evy Cowan from Shebop in Portland, Oregon (sheboptheshop.com): “I could give Nancy some suggestions on a starter kit, but I think it’s much more fun to explore and decide for yourself what would work for you and your partner. Don’t be scared to pick things up and turn things on (that’s if the shop provides floor models like we do). It’s really important to be able to feel the material and what levels and types of vibrations different toys produce. Don’t be afraid to ask the staff questions—that’s what we’re here for. If the sex shop in your town is not very helpful when it comes to questions, then do some research before you go shopping. On our blog, we have a great guides section that gives advice, from choosing your first vibrator to detailed instructions on how to use a cock ring. Last but not least, make sure the toys you are buying are body safe—there are lots of toys out there that you do not want to be putting in your body. Check out the ‘Safe Sex Toy Shopping Guide’ at Badvibes. org to get the basics.” Tynan Fox from Twin Cities Leather in Minneapolis, Minnesota (facebook.com/ TwinCitiesLeather): “The other contributors have given you some spectacular answers, but as Dan alluded to, don’t forget to think outside the box. Our advice: Don’t let the gas masks and floggers and cock locks (oh, my!) scare you away from leather/fetish shops or gear. It’s okay to start small and simple. Consider buying two blindfolds—one for each of you—and go at it while you’re both wearing them. The feeling of having sex with all your other senses heightened may just ignite a new kinky spark in your love life, and that would definitely fight off routine, monotonous sex. Who knows? Maybe one day, rather than thinking outside the box, you’ll be keeping your boyfriend’s cock locked inside one! But start small. You want to work your way up to the Fucksaw.” How long should a person wait to “get back out there” when his wife has been eaten by a zombie? Asking for a friend. Sheriff Rick Grimes (via Twitter @ RickGrimesATL) Not too long—life is short, particularly during a zombie apocalypse, and your friend shouldn’t waste what little time he has left. And remember: During a zombie apocalypse, all relationships are rebound relationships. So your friend should get out there. CONFIDENTIAL TO EVERYONE IN OR NEAR SEATTLE: We’re doing a very special live taping of the Savage Lovecast for SINGLE PEOPLE ONLY at Seattle’s Neptune Theater on February 14. Me and the Tech-Savvy, At-Risk Youth want to make sure that single people have as much fun on Valentine’s Day as coupled people. There will be free lap dances, a bondage demo with Twisted Monk, music courtesy of DJ TROUBLE, sex advice from me and Mistress Matisse, the Human Cupcake, and much more. Doors open at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m., 21+. A limited number of discounted advance tickets are available from Stranger Tickets (strangertickets. com). All other tickets can be purchased through Seattle Theater Group (tinyurl.com/savlov). Again: This event is for SINGLE PEOPLE ONLY. Lap dances! The Human Cupcake! Be there! (Of course we can’t stop couples from coming, as that would be discriminatory, and discrimination is always wrong, so coupled people are welcome to attend so long as they don’t gloat.) Find the Savage Lovecast (my weekly podcast) every Tuesday at thestranger.com/savage and follow me @fakedansavage on Twitter.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Send your Weird News to Chuck Shepherd, PO Box 18737, Tampa, Fla., 33679 weirdnews@earthlink.net or go to www.newsoftheweird.com

Three-Star Room That’s a Dump The usual 20,000 or so visitors every year to Belgium’s Verbeke Foundation art park have the option (365 of them, anyway) to spend the night inside the feature attraction: a 20-footlong, 6-foot-high polyester replica of a human colon created by Dutch designer Joep Van Lieshout. At one end, of course, another body part is replicated (and gives the installation its formal name, the Hotel CasAnus). The facility, though “cramped,” according to one prominent review, features heating, shower and double bed, and rents for the equivalent of about $150 a night. The 30-acre art park is regarded as one of Europe’s “edgiest” art destinations. Compelling Explanations • Giuseppe Tedesco took the witness stand in Newton, N.J., in December and swore that all six shots that hit his girlfriend, Alyssa Ruggieri (one of them fatal), were “self-defense” “accidents.” After she discovered his .25-caliber handgun in sofa cushions, he said he reached for it and in the struggle was shot in the hand, but he still managed to grip the gun tightly, and the pair tumbled down some stairs. During the struggle, “both” hands shot Ruggieri twice. Despite their injuries, they both maintained their vice-like grips on the gun, he said, and “they” shot Ruggieri twice more. The final shot, he said, came with Ruggieri holding the gun point-blank at his face, and when he pushed it away, “they” fired another shot that hit Ruggieri in the temple. (At press time, the trial was continuing.) • The issues director of the fundamentalist American Family Association told his radio audience in November that God’s feelings will be hurt if America stops using fossil fuels for energy. “God has buried those treasures there because he loves to see us find them,” said Bryan Fischer, who described Americans’ campaigns against fossil fuels as similar to the time when Fischer, at age 6, told a birthday-present donor that he didn’t like his gift. “And it just crushed that person.” • Retrials and appeals are sometimes granted if a convicted criminal demonstrates that he received “ineffective assistance of counsel.” Among the reasons that the lawyer for convicted Joliet, Ill., quadruple-murderer Christopher Vaughn offered in his November motion was the ineptness of other lawyers (but not himself). Specifically, he argued, the lawyers for the convicted wife-killing police officer Drew Peterson put on such a disgusting case that they gave all defense lawyers a bad name. (The website LoweringTheBar.net pointed out that Vaughn lawyer George Lenard himself violated a lawyers’ “kitchen sink” standard by overlisting 51 separate reasons why his client deserved a new trial.) Chutzpah! Mauricio Fierro gained instant fame in December in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as the reported victim of a car theft (captured on surveillance video) when he dashed into a pharmacy. He 70 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

went to a police station to file a report, but encountered the pharmacy owner making his own report—that Fierro was actually robbing him at the moment the car was taken. More surveillance video revealed that while Fierro was standing outside the pharmacy, wondering where his car was, a man ran by and stole the stolen cash. Fierro then immoderately complained to the police even more about Sao Paulo’s crime rate and lack of security. Afterward, Fierro admitted to a local news website that in fact he had stolen the very car that he was reporting stolen. The Continuing Crisis • Former undercover cop Mark Kennedy filed for damages in October against the London Metropolitan police, claiming post-traumatic stress syndrome based on the department’s “negligence” in allowing him to have such a robust sex life on the job that he fell in love with a woman whose organization he had infiltrated. Kennedy’s wife has filed for divorce and is also suing the department, and 10 other women (including three of Kennedy’s former lovers) have also filed claims. • Sarah Childs won a restraining order in Denham Springs, La., in December, forbidding the town from shutting down her “Christmas” lights decoration. The large outdoor display (in a neighborhood with traditional Christmas displays) was the image of two hands with middle fingers extended. People With Issues (1) New York’s highest court ruled in November that subway “grinders” (men who masturbate by rubbing up against women on trains) cannot be charged with felonies as long as they don’t use force to restrain their victims (but only commit misdemeanors that usually result in no jail time). (2) Police in Phuket, Thailand, announced that their all-points search for a public masturbator who harassed a restaurant’s staff had produced no suspects—although a spokesman said they did find “a few people (nearby) who were masturbating in their vehicles, but none of them were the man we are looking for.” Perspective Update: Four months have passed since News of the Weird mentioned that at least 60 North Carolina prisoners have been improperly incarcerated—legally innocent based on a 2011 federal appeals court decision. (Still others are at least owed sentence reduction because they had been convicted of offenses in addition to the incorrect one.) A June USA Today story revealed the injustice, and the federal government took until August to release holds on the inmates, but since then, only 44 of the estimated 175 affected prisoners have been correctly adjudicated. USA Today reported in December that the recent delay has been because of the obstinacy of some North Carolina federal judges, including cases involving citizens by now wrongfully locked up for more than 18 months.
