Our 1260th Issue • April 18 - 24, 2013<br />
editor’s note:<br />
The only way to stop a bad guy with a bomb is a good guy with a bomb, right? Probably<br />
not. How about good guys with guns? Yes, probably, at some point, near the endgame.<br />
But the most effective way to stop a bad guy with a bomb — or, at worst, catch him after<br />
he’s done his dirty work — is with good guys who have computers and surveillance data.<br />
I recently saw the film Zero Dark Thirty, about the search for Osama bin Laden.<br />
While, in the end, it took good guys with guns — and high-tech night-vision goggles<br />
and helicopters and small explosives — to capture the Saudi mass murderer in his Pakistani<br />
lair, determining where he was took years of monitoring cell phone calls, satellite<br />
surveillance, and on-the-ground spy work by the CIA and military intelligence agencies.<br />
By the time you read <strong>this</strong>, the FBI may have rounded up a solid suspect in the case of<br />
the Boston Marathon bombings. The Taliban have disavowed any involvement, which,<br />
whether true or not, has led to speculation that the bombings were the work of a domestic<br />
terrorist (or terrorists). And the fact that the bombings occurred on Patriots’ Day,<br />
widely seen by some American antigovernment activists as symbolic of federal oppression,<br />
heightened that speculation.<br />
On Patriots’ Day in 1993, after a 52-day siege, federal ATF agents and the FBI attacked<br />
the Waco, Texas, headquarters of the Branch Davidians. Leader David Koresh<br />
and 82 others inside died, some as a result of the assault; most from a fire the Davidians<br />
set during the attack. Two years later, the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building<br />
on Patriots’ Day was widely perceived as retribution for the Waco assault. Coincidentally<br />
or not, the Columbine school shooting in 1999 and the Virginia Tech massacre<br />
in 2007 also occurred on or around Patriots’ Day.<br />
But given the recent history of American mass murders, we shouldn’t be surprised<br />
if it’s yet another mentally unstable young American male living out some warped<br />
fantasy or video-game-inspired violence. In fact, as was noted by several websites on<br />
Tuesday, a recent episode of the show Family Guy featured a character setting off two<br />
bombs at the Boston Marathon in order to win the race. Inspiration? Horrific coincidence?<br />
Who knows?<br />
The sad truth is that nothing can stop all the bad guys bent on mass destruction.<br />
All we can do is try to make it more difficult for them to pull it off. Our thoughts and<br />
prayers go out to all those affected by <strong>this</strong> latest tragedy — and to those attempting to<br />
catch the bad guys. It appears to be a war with no endgame in sight.<br />

In response to<br />
Bianca Phillips’<br />
cover story about<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> Animal<br />
Services (“Mr. Rogers’<br />
Neighborhood,” April<br />
4th <strong>issue</strong>): I recently<br />
adopted a puppy from<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> Animal Services.<br />
I was hesitant to<br />
go there after all the<br />
bad press I had seen.<br />
However, the facility was very clean, and<br />
every person we dealt with was helpful<br />
and positive.<br />
It was an emotional process, adopting<br />
a puppy. I wanted to take all of the<br />
animals home. The staff at MAS was<br />
outstanding every step of the way. I really<br />
hope others will reconsider what they<br />
have heard in the past and visit the facility<br />
and decide for themselves. Hopefully,<br />
the positive word will spread.<br />

I am writing in response to a letter from<br />
Robert Burns (April 4th <strong>issue</strong>). The letter<br />
was appropriately titled “Trashed,” and<br />
it criticized the appearance and sanitary<br />
conditions surrounding the Beale Street<br />
Landing project. Burns’ letter raised<br />
serious doubt in my mind as to the<br />
Riverfront Development Corporation’s<br />
(RDC) ability to handle a project of <strong>this</strong><br />
magnitude.<br />
As a proud citizen of <strong>Memphis</strong>, I concur<br />
with Burns concerning <strong>this</strong> matter.<br />
Folks, wake up please! This project has<br />
been going on since 2008, and we, the<br />
citizens of <strong>Memphis</strong>, have sunk millions<br />
of dollars into it. Yet, the RDC has the<br />
audacity to give its CEO a raise and add<br />
insult to our wounds by adding a vicepresident<br />
position at another $120,000<br />
per year.<br />
I say it is time for the citizens of <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
to stop remaining silent, while our<br />
city leaders consistently sign us up to be<br />
ripped off.<br />

JAck MAgoo’s<br />
I was disappointed to read Randy<br />
Haspel’s Rant (April 11th <strong>issue</strong>), where<br />
he wrote so harshly about Jack Magoo’s.<br />
It isn’t fair to make a judgment like <strong>this</strong><br />
without knowing both sides.<br />
Brian Roper is probably a good<br />
man. I don’t know; I’ve never met him.<br />
leTTers to the editor<br />
However, everyone<br />
behaves badly at some<br />
point, so we should<br />
not assume that Roper<br />
is any different and<br />
was not at all at fault<br />
that night. His injuries<br />
do look terrible, but<br />
we do not know the<br />
whole story of how he<br />
got them.<br />
The bartender who<br />
was arrested over <strong>this</strong><br />
mess is one of the nicest<br />
people I have ever met. And I am appalled<br />
by the backlash against him, as well<br />
as the rest of Magoo’s staff, whom I have<br />
never seen mistreat any customer and<br />
who have always gone out of their way to<br />
make sure that I had a good, safe time.<br />

I recently attended three events in<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> that I can truly characterize as<br />
world-class: the Midtown Opera Festival,<br />
the Church Health Center’s Healthy<br />
Communities, Communities of Faith<br />
conference, and <strong>Memphis</strong> Fashion Week.<br />
The innovative leadership at Opera<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> was clearly evident. They offered<br />
an array of new, fresh works, masterfully<br />
performed, along with community<br />
activities and partnerships. Opera<br />
is relevant again here, and <strong>Memphis</strong> is<br />
taking a bold leadership role nationally in<br />
making it so.<br />
The Church Health Center conference<br />
drew more than 350 people, from Singapore<br />
to the Ukraine, who were interested<br />
in seeing <strong>this</strong> amazing model of <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
social entrepreneurship expanded<br />
nationally and globally. The synergy of<br />
the participants and presenters from <strong>this</strong><br />
four-day conference will be a catalyst for<br />
change well beyond our city limits.<br />
The second annual <strong>Memphis</strong> Fashion<br />
Week showed brilliance in connecting<br />
our city and people with a different kind<br />
of creativity. Well organized and also<br />
seeking community partnerships, <strong>this</strong><br />
event, too, should be a source of pride for<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong>.<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> is rife with opportunity<br />
for involvement and engagement and<br />
innovation in all sectors, from arts<br />
and entertainment to civic initiatives.<br />
Good things are happening around us,<br />
because many people have decided to<br />
make them happen. Let’s thank them<br />
and support them.<br />

ChiCken hunters<br />
We’ve all heard the old saying, “The<br />
family that takes an assault rifle to<br />
Jack Pirtle’s together, goes to jail<br />
together.” And no father-and-son<br />
team exemplifies <strong>this</strong> old saw better<br />
than Antonius Hart Sr. and Antonius<br />
Hart Jr., who placed an order at Jack<br />
Pirtle’s last week and drove away, only<br />
to return minutes later with a complaint<br />
that some of their chicken was<br />
missing, some additional requests,<br />
and an effing AK-47.<br />
According to a report in The<br />
Commercial Appeal, the father and<br />
son weren’t happy with an employee’s<br />
offer to merely replace the missing<br />
chicken and brought out the gun to<br />
suggest a certain seriousness about<br />
the request for additional pieces.<br />
Both men were arrested.<br />
Verbatim<br />
“Peace is priceless,” according to a<br />
prepared statement by Mayor A C<br />
Wharton as quoted in a <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
Daily News article breaking down the<br />
$175,585 cost of security measures<br />
taken during the recent Ku Klux<br />
Klan rally. The article considered the<br />
price of the police presence and the<br />
chain-link fence used to separate the<br />
61 Klansmen who participated in the<br />
march from the significantly larger<br />
crowd that showed up to watch. The<br />
ridiculous demonstration can also be<br />
understood as costing the city just a<br />
hair under $2,878 per hood.<br />

Bike de Triomphe { spotlight<br />
By Bianca Phillips<br />
Overton-Broad bike path to feature gate sculpted from repurposed bikes.<br />
When a <strong>Memphis</strong> couple’s home burned to the<br />
ground several months ago, all that was left were a<br />
couple of charred bikes that had been hanging in<br />
the garage. Now their only remaining possessions<br />
will be immortalized in the gateway leading into<br />
Overton Park from a bike path along Sam Cooper<br />
and Broad Avenue.<br />
Those bikes and about 163 others will make up<br />
a massive archway created by <strong>Memphis</strong> sculptor<br />
Tylur French that will greet cyclists as they enter<br />
the East Parkway side of Overton Park from the<br />
soon-to-be-constructed Overton-Broad bike path.<br />
The Overton-Broad path will take cyclists from Overton Park’s<br />
Old Forest, down Sam Cooper, Broad Avenue, and Tillman<br />
Street to the Shelby Farms Greenline.<br />
“One guy gave me three bikes from his childhood, and one<br />
is a tricycle he got when he was 2 years old,” French said. “I have<br />
a picture of him riding that tricycle in his diaper on Christmas<br />
morning.”<br />
Not every bike has such a compelling story. Some were<br />
donated by parents whose kids outgrew their pint-sized cycles,<br />
and others were worse-for-the-wear bikes donated by Revolutions<br />
Bicycle Co-op. French plans to add a few skateboards and<br />
wheelchairs as well.<br />
The bikes are being fashioned into an arch inside French’s<br />
workshop inside <strong>Memphis</strong> Defense Depot Park. Once the shape<br />
is just right, French will begin sandblasting rusted and burned<br />
bikes. He’s also removing parts that will rot over time, such as<br />
brake pads, and he’s filling tires with spray foam to make them<br />
last. Then the sculpture will be painted with a palette of three or<br />
four colors.<br />
“One of the challenges is figuring out how to create continuity<br />
because it’s such a jumble of shapes and colors,” French said.<br />
The gateway, which French hopes to complete by mid-May,<br />
Future Planning { City reporter<br />
By Hannah Sayle<br />
Local Planned Parenthood group gets a new president and CEO.<br />
will be the focal point of Overton Park’s portion of the connector<br />
trail.<br />
“You’ll pass through the gate into the park, and you’ll land<br />
on a concrete plaza that’s shaped to look like a bike sprocket,”<br />
said Tina Sullivan, director of the Overton Park Conservancy.<br />
“There will be benches and a water fountain, and there’s a<br />
[paved] surface that connects to the [Old Forest’s existing] internal<br />
paved road.”<br />
Currently, cyclists who wish to cross from the Old Forest’s<br />
paved trails to Sam Cooper must bike through a grassy area,<br />
but once <strong>this</strong> project is complete, a paved trail will lead cyclists<br />
to the East Parkway/Sam Cooper intersection. Sullivan said the<br />
conservancy’s portion of the connector project doesn’t have a<br />
set timeline for completion yet.<br />
French, who has created sculpture for St. Jude Children’s Research<br />
Hospital, the Cancer Survivors Park, and the <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
Skate Park, hopes his gateway will serve as a visual icon for the<br />
city’s burgeoning bike-friendly reputation.<br />
“This big bike movement, with the greenline, happened so<br />
fast, and a lot of times, a big movement needs an iconic image<br />
to identify it,” French said. “I would love for <strong>this</strong> [gateway] to<br />
bring more city integration into the greenline.”<br />
After a decade as CEO of Planned Parenthood Greater <strong>Memphis</strong> Region (PPGMR), Barry Chase<br />
left his office <strong>this</strong> month, handing over the reins to former board member and longtime Planned<br />
Parenthood supporter Ashley Coffield.<br />
Previously a project director for the Washington, D.C.-based organization Partnership for<br />
Prevention, Coffield brings a career of public health experience to the job, as well as nine years<br />
serving on PPGMR’s board of directors.<br />
Coffield is inheriting a state-level political climate that has been openly antagonistic to Planned<br />
Parenthood. Chase’s tenure saw the election of self-proclaimed Planned Parenthood adversary<br />
Governor Bill Haslam, as well as the state legislature’s warpath against the family-planning<br />
organization.<br />
“Haslam made the statement when he was running for governor that he was going to put<br />
Planned Parenthood out of business,” Chase said. “Because of that, we ran into a problem with the<br />

What They Said<br />
Comments from memphisflyer.com<br />
About “Senate Blocks Camp eld’s ‘Starve<br />
the Children’ Bill, Sends It O to ‘Summer<br />
Study’”:<br />
“ e Tennessee legislature — our very<br />
own homegrown Fagins, Monks, and<br />
Sikes. ‘May I have more, sir?’” — jrgolden<br />
GREG CRAVENS<br />
About “A (Verbal) Shootout at the<br />
Agricenter Gun Show”:<br />
“By 2015, the deaths from gun violence<br />
are expected to EXCEED the number<br />
of ALL tra c fatalities (DUI or other).<br />
Universal background checks for all<br />
gun purchases, renewal of the assault<br />
weapons ban, and eliminating highcapacity<br />
magazines (anything more<br />
than 10 rounds) will not eliminate all<br />
gun violence. But it WILL reduce it.<br />
Just as e ective drunk driving laws and<br />
enforcement have reduced the deaths<br />
from DUI by 40 percent, these proposed<br />
measures will reduce gun violence in <strong>this</strong><br />
country.” — Molly MacLeod-Roberts<br />
About “Mall Plan Would Give Raleigh ‘a<br />
Fighting Chance’”:<br />
“It’s just more throwing good money<br />
a er bad. Nothing’s improved in that<br />
area since the mall anchors and national<br />
retailers threw in their towels and le .<br />
Between the out-of-control shopli ing<br />
and employee thievery and the reluctance<br />
of shoppers to patronize the mall for fear<br />
of their own safety getting from their car<br />
to the stores, it made turning a pro t next<br />
to impossible. What’s changed in that<br />
area? Answer: Nothing.” — JuliusJones<br />

About “Letter from the Editor” and<br />

Q&A WITH JAMES<br />
ALEXANDER,<br />
MEMBER OF THE BAR-KAYS<br />
From the soulful sounds<br />
of the Bar-Kays to the pop<br />
and R&B tunes of Justin<br />
Timberlake, <strong>Memphis</strong>’ music<br />
scene has a lot to o er.<br />
Last Tuesday, some of<br />
the area’s most notable<br />
artists displayed their musical talents for President<br />
Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama during<br />
the 10th installment of the In Performance at the<br />
White House series.<br />
e event paid tribute to “<strong>Memphis</strong> Soul” through<br />
the performances of Timberlake and the Bar-Kays,<br />
along with Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Charlie Musselwhite,<br />
Mavis Staples, Cyndi Lauper, Booker T and<br />
the MGs, and many more.<br />
Since its launch in 2009, the In Performance series<br />
has celebrated the music of artists such as Stevie<br />
Wonder, Paul McCartney, Motown Records, and the<br />
blues and country genres.<br />
James Alexander of the Bar-Kays (who also played<br />
at Obama’s 2012 inauguration) took time to speak<br />
about his experience playing the concert, meeting the<br />
president and rst lady, and what it’s like inside the<br />
White House. — Louis Goggans<br />
FLYER: HOW WAS IT PERFORMING IN THIS CONCERT<br />
SERIES?<br />
James Alexander: Unbelievable. How many times<br />
do you get the chance to be in the White House and<br />
perform for the president?<br />
WHY DO YOU THINK THE CONCERT ORGANIZERS<br />
SELECTED MEMPHIS SOUL TO BE CELEBRATED?<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> is where it all started. It’s the birthplace<br />
of rock-and-roll and the home of the blues. Popular<br />
music as we know it pretty much originated from<br />
“Future” continued from page 6<br />
state and our family-planning funding.”<br />
Chase is referring to the Title X funding showdown<br />
that took place last year, in which state legislators<br />
attempted to divert federal family-planning dollars<br />
away from Planned Parenthood, rst foisting the dollars<br />
on an unprepared county health department and then<br />
agreeing to let counties subcontract with other healthcare<br />
providers. e Shelby County Commission selected<br />
Christ Community Health Services, an organization<br />
that does not perform abortions, to receive the Title X<br />
subcontract.<br />
In a display of tit-for-tat political strategy, Planned<br />
Parenthood Greater <strong>Memphis</strong> Region then bypassed<br />
the state and applied for and received Title X funding<br />
directly from the federal government. ough the<br />
grant amount was lower than they were accustomed<br />
to, PPGMR made up for the reduced amount with<br />
donations from supporters.<br />
By the time the Title X showdown took place, Chase<br />
was well-accustomed to the challenges of running a<br />
polarizing nonpro t. When he took the helm of Planned<br />
Parenthood, the organization was saddled with debt<br />
and uncertainty about its lease. Over the next three<br />
years, Chase used his business background to nudge the<br />
nonpro t’s ledger from red to black. en he tackled the<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong>. ere are other cities that might take<br />
claim, but actually, man, it all originated in <strong>Memphis</strong>.<br />
WHAT DO YOU FEEL MEMPHIS’ MUSIC SCENE OFFERS TO<br />
THE WORLD?<br />
If you’re trying to do music with a feeling, <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
is the place that you need to come. Most of the [city’s<br />
artists], no matter what kind of music they create, all<br />
of it has a feeling, and that’s very important in music.<br />
Music is emotional, but there’s a lot of music out<br />
there now that doesn’t have feeling. But the people<br />
who make music around <strong>this</strong> area, they all put feeling<br />
in it.<br />
GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING MUSICIAN BOOKER T. JONES<br />
SERVED AS MUSIC DIRECTOR DURING THE EVENT. HOW<br />
WAS IT WORKING WITH HIM?<br />
It was like a family reunion. A lot of people don’t<br />
know, but Booker T. played on our rst record. Back<br />
then, on the 45s, they had the A- and B-side. On the<br />
B-side, we had a song called “Knucklehead.” Booker<br />
played harmonica on that song.<br />
WAS THERE A PARTICULAR ARTIST YOU MOST ENJOYED<br />
PLAYING WITH?<br />
It was very special to perform behind Mavis Staples<br />
and Sam Moore. Mavis Staples, William Bell, and<br />
Sam Moore, we all were on the same label together<br />
at Stax [Records]. You know, everybody was really<br />
special.<br />
HOW WAS IT BEING INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AND<br />
MEETING THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY?<br />
[ e White House] is pretty secured. You can’t move<br />
around freely like you would want to. You have to<br />
have an escort wherever you go. When you meet the<br />
president, the Secret Service puts you in groups of<br />
ve, and they call you. You go up, and you have about<br />
30 seconds to shake his hand, take your picture and<br />
have whatever conversation you’re going to have with<br />
him. ey say, 15 minutes of fame, I had 30 seconds<br />
of fame, and it was all right with me, man. It was all<br />
good.<br />
organization’s real estate problem, securing its current<br />
location at 2430 Poplar.<br />
“When we lost our lease at the [former Union<br />
Avenue] building, no one would rent to us,” Chase said.<br />
“We were 60 days from when we had to be out of the<br />
Union location, and we had nowhere to go.”<br />
e country’s recession provided some fortuitous<br />
help in that regard. A bank eager to get a foreclosed<br />
Midtown o ce building o its books sold the Poplar<br />
Avenue location to PPGMR, where it has been housed<br />
for the past three years.<br />
Co eld now sits in the corner o ce of that centrally<br />
located building o of one of <strong>Memphis</strong>’ busiest arterial<br />
roadways and looks ahead to the opposition and<br />
opportunities that await.<br />
“Our number-one priority is to make sure patients<br />
get high-quality health care and they have a positive,<br />
satisfying experience,” Co eld said. “Of course, we’re<br />
paying attention to what’s going on in Nashville, and<br />
of course, it’s threatening to us, so that also has to be a<br />
focus.”<br />
She points outside to the space where protesters<br />
regularly camp out, including one particularly vocal<br />
anti-abortion activist they have dubbed “megaphone<br />
man.”<br />
“ e sidewalk bullying is the least of our concerns,”<br />
Co eld said. “It’s the bullies in Nashville that we’re<br />
worried about.”<br />

Broad Reach { spotlight<br />
By Chris Shaw<br />
MEMShop model moves to Broad Avenue.<br />
Art won’t be the only thing on display at<br />
the Broad Avenue Art Walk <strong>this</strong> Friday,<br />
as three MEMShop-sponsored pop-up<br />
storefronts will open their doors for the<br />
first time.<br />
Five-in-One Social Club, NJ Woods<br />
Gallery and Design, and My Heavenly<br />
Creations will open their doors on Friday<br />
evening. Fitting with the overall theme of<br />
Broad Street as an arts district, each new<br />
business will sell locally made products,<br />
ranging from sculptures and paintings to<br />
bath bombs and T-shirts. The shops will<br />
remain open until September 30th.<br />
MEMShop is the retail initiative of<br />
the Mayor’s Innovation Delivery Team’s<br />
broader MEMFix campaign, which serves<br />
as a vehicle for revitalizing three target<br />
neighborhoods. One of those neighborhoods<br />
is the Broad Avenue/Binghampton<br />
area.<br />
Broad Avenue actually served as a bit<br />
of inspiration for MEMFix, which was<br />
partially modeled after “New Face for an<br />
Old Broad,” a two-day festival hosted by<br />
Broad business owners in 2010.<br />
Since MEMFix kicked off last November,<br />
it has been responsible for setting the<br />
stage for the Crosstown neighborhood’s<br />
revitalization and, earlier <strong>this</strong> month,<br />
promoting local business around the<br />
University of <strong>Memphis</strong>. While MEMFix<br />
helps revitalize neighborhoods, MEM-<br />
Shop provides consumers with a new<br />
place to shop while supporting local small<br />
business owners.<br />
Abby Miller, program director for the<br />
Mayor’s Innovation Delivery Team, said<br />
the idea of what MEMshop can do for a<br />
neighborhood has grown significantly<br />
since the first MEMShop event in Overton<br />
Square in December.<br />
“MEMFix is more about looking at<br />
how to activate a neighborhood. We look<br />
at things like street design and what’s possible<br />
as more of a one-day or one-weekend<br />
event,” Miller said. “MEMShop started as<br />
pop-up retail, and now it’s morphed into<br />
a retail incubator where businesses will be<br />
here [on Broad Avenue] for six months.”<br />
Miller said she was surprised that<br />
more than 30 local businesses applied for<br />
the three MEMShop spaces available on<br />
Broad, in part because it was the first longterm<br />
project that MEMShop has done.<br />
But it’s not hard to see how the perks of<br />
being a MEMShop retailer would attract<br />
local business owners. Owners sign a sixmonth<br />
lease, and the first three months of<br />
rent are free. Then they’re only responsible<br />
for paying a portion of the rent during<br />
the last three months. Those picked for a<br />
MEMShop on Broad Avenue also receive<br />
free business advice from Alt Consulting<br />
on topics ranging from marketing training<br />
to financial projection.<br />
“These businesses get a lot of addi-<br />
tional customized business support services<br />
that many of them can’t afford otherwise.<br />
Many small businesses can’t afford to have a consultant to work<br />
one-on-one with them, but we’re giving them access to all these<br />
things to hopefully make them more successful in the long run,”<br />
said Cynthia Norwood, managing director for Alt Consulting.<br />
“Even if, when the six-month lease is up, they decide to move on,<br />
the property owner has an increased value of space and extra foot<br />
traffic coming by.”<br />

Clifton Gallery owner Tom Clifton said he’s<br />

project.<br />
“We are very excited to have the [new] businesses on <strong>this</strong><br />
street,” Clifton said. “I’ve been on <strong>this</strong> street for four years, and<br />
there were people on <strong>this</strong> street for many years who have been<br />
hanging on by their nails. Things have slowly started to improve<br />
around here.”<br />
As for the new businesses on Broad Avenue, Clifton joked,<br />
“We’re not letting them leave.”<br />

JOHN BRANSTON<br />
CITY BEAT By John Branston<br />
Jerry Lee Lewis Rocks On<br />
A new club on Beale and the Beale Street Music Festival are on tap.<br />
Jerry Lee Lewis,<br />
the last living<br />
member of the<br />
legendary Million<br />
Dollar Quartet,<br />
sat beneath a<br />
photograph in his<br />
den of that signature<br />
moment in<br />
the history of rock-and-roll in 1956 and<br />
vowed to keep on rocking.<br />
Now 77 years old and recovered from<br />
a broken leg that kept him out of last<br />
year’s Beale Street Music Festival, he is<br />
touring again and will play the festival<br />
on May 4th. And on April 27th, he will<br />
be honored with a parade on Beale Street<br />
and cut the ribbon outside of Jerry Lee<br />
Lewis’ Café and Honkytonk in the building<br />
that formerly housed Pat O’Brien’s<br />
and Dancing Jimmy’s.<br />
Lewis, of course, is usually associated<br />
with the Sun Records Studio on Union<br />
Avenue, which was recreated in the musical<br />
Million Dollar Quartet that opened<br />
on Broadway in 2010 and recently<br />
nished its second run at the Orpheum.<br />
But he said that as a young man he o en<br />
went to Beale Street.<br />
“I think it’s about time I should have<br />
a place up there,” he said <strong>this</strong> week in an<br />
interview at his home in Nesbit, Mississippi.<br />
“I used to listen to a Dixieland jazz<br />
band down near the river. I don’t think<br />
that’s Beale Street now, though; it’s all<br />
changed up so much.”<br />
Lewis was married for the seventh<br />
time last year. He and his wife, Judith,<br />
live in a red-brick ranch home with<br />
a lake on 30 acres. He is far from the<br />
cocky chatterbox portrayed in Million<br />
Dollar Quartet but his voice and<br />
handshake are strong, and he cracked<br />
up when his old friend J.W. Whitten<br />
produced a long-lost picture of Lewis<br />
and astronaut Neil Armstrong, who<br />
carried his music to the moon, and said,<br />
“ em Martians are rockin’!”<br />
e man who has kicked over thousands<br />
of piano benches still has a trace<br />
of a limp.<br />
“I had that broken leg operated three<br />
times before the plate was removed,” he<br />
said. “ at kind of took the wind out of<br />
my sails.”<br />
e den is decorated with a Yamaha<br />
piano, gold records, album covers, and<br />
photographs, including two copies of<br />
the famous one with Lewis, Elvis, Carl<br />
Perkins, and Johnny Cash at the piano in<br />
Sam Phillips’ studio. Elvis died in 1977,<br />
Perkins in 1998, and Phillips and Cash in<br />
2003. Lewis recorded “Last Man Standing”<br />
in 2006.<br />
He didn’t bite on a question about<br />
competition and who in uenced whom<br />
the most. “It went both ways,” he said.<br />
“I always held my ground.” He has fond<br />
memories of that day at Sun Studio.<br />
“I remember the day that picture was<br />
made very well,” he said. “Elvis’ girl was<br />
standing to the right of him, just out of<br />
the picture. I was looking straight at her,<br />
and she was looking straight at me. I<br />
never knew it would turn into something<br />
like that, but you never know what’s going<br />
to happen.”<br />
He saw Million Dollar Quartet on<br />
Broadway.<br />
“I thought it was great,” he said.<br />
“ ey had me come out onstage. e<br />
drummer had a hard time keeping up<br />
with the beat.”<br />
In 2010, he made another album<br />
of duets called Mean Old Man, but he<br />
disavows the title.<br />
“I’m certainly not a mean old man,” he<br />
protested.<br />
Jerry Lee Lewis<br />
“Why, he’s an angel,” Judith added.<br />
A halo on Jerry Lee Lewis? Great<br />
balls of re! I asked about performers he<br />
especially admires (“<strong>this</strong> guy Elton John<br />
is pretty good”) and the young bands in<br />
the festival.<br />
“ ey’re fans of mine and friends,<br />
but as far as getting together and<br />
playing, I don’t see that happening.<br />
Like that picture of me in the Million<br />
Dollar Quartet, we didn’t know what<br />
was going to happen, and you never<br />
know what’s going to happen with the<br />
younger generation.”<br />
My time was up. “ anks, killer,” he<br />
said, and stuck out his hand. No, thank<br />
you, Killer, from a grateful <strong>Memphis</strong>.<br />

Ritz: It Ain’t Over Yet<br />
Commission chairman sees more to come on<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong>-Shelby County school front.<br />
Shelby County<br />
Commission chairman<br />
Mike Ritz,<br />
the man who has<br />
been at the center<br />
of the schoolmerger<br />
crisis for<br />
the last two years<br />
and has been the<br />
driving force behind ongoing litigation,<br />
assayed the situation in the wake of<br />
Monday’s passage of municipal-schools<br />
legislation in Nashville and saw some<br />
complications remaining.<br />
At some point, a few of the six<br />
suburban municipalities may find<br />
the independent school districts they<br />
establish vulnerable to legal challenge,<br />
Ritz said. The chairman, a resident of<br />
Germantown himself, pinpointed Germantown<br />
as most likely to encounter<br />
problems because of the large number<br />
of non-resident students served by the<br />
eight schools now operating within<br />
the city.<br />
“These students may not be educated<br />
by the city for long because they won’t<br />
be contributing to the taxes paid by<br />
Germantown residents to maintain the<br />
schools, and the city’s taxpayers may get<br />
their board to react to that,” said Ritz,<br />
who noted that a fair number of the<br />
outliers would be minority students, and<br />
any change in their status would put the<br />
district in jeopardy.<br />
The next phase of the commission’s<br />
litigation against municipal schools is an<br />
equal-opportunity challenge on resegregation<br />
grounds, and presiding U.S.<br />
district judge Hardy Mays is maintaining<br />
the option to hold trial on the point,<br />
though Ritz acknowledged that any such<br />
process might not occur until after the<br />
new municipal districts are established,<br />
probably in August 2014.<br />
Another matter noted by Ritz was that<br />
of how and at what cost new municipal<br />
districts might acquire existing school<br />
buildings. This is a question to be negotiated<br />
between the municipalities and the<br />
Unified School Board, Ritz said. “That<br />
makes it all the more urgent that we<br />
go ahead and expand the board to 13<br />
members, a number more representative<br />
of the entire community.”<br />
Ritz said that enough <strong>issue</strong>s remained<br />
unresolved to justify a resumption of<br />
the negotiations between the commission<br />
and the municipalities that were<br />
conducted briefly but suspended at year’s<br />
end. “I think they [the municipalities]<br />
will see it in their interest to come back to<br />
the table,” he said.<br />
• The bill enabling municipal schools in<br />
Shelby County (SB 1353/HB 1288) was a<br />
retooling of a 2012 version that had been<br />
ruled unconstitutional by Mays because<br />
its application was limited to Shelby<br />
County.<br />
The new version applies statewide and,<br />
for whatever reason, did not encounter<br />
the controversy that befell an early draft<br />
of the 2012 bill that was scaled back to<br />
meet objections from legislators outside<br />
Shelby County.<br />
With little more than perfunctory debate,<br />
<strong>this</strong> year’s bill passed both chambers<br />
of the Republican-dominated Tennessee<br />
General Assembly with comfortable<br />
margins Monday, thereby allowing the<br />
de facto secession from Shelby County’s<br />
soon-to-be “unified” school district that<br />
six suburban municipalities in the county<br />
have been seeking for at least two years.<br />
Mayors and other representatives of<br />
those suburbs — Germantown, Collierville,<br />
Bartlett, Lakeland, Arlington, and Millington<br />
— were on hand for the occasion and<br />
were introduced in the state House of Representatives<br />
by suburban GOP members<br />
before Monday’s vote in that chamber. The<br />
House vote was 70-24 in favor. The Senate<br />
followed with a 24-5 tally for the bill.<br />
“I think they<br />
[the municipalities]<br />
will see it in<br />
their interest<br />
to come back<br />
to the table,”<br />
Mike Ritz said.<br />
There was some opposition. In the<br />
House, Representative Bill Dunn (R-<br />
Knoxville) rose to express forebodings<br />
about the measure and declared his<br />
opposition to it, as he had to last year’s<br />
original model. Dunn worried that,<br />
since <strong>this</strong> year’s bill, unlike the final<br />
product last year, was cast so as to apply<br />
statewide, not just to Shelby County,<br />
“we’re going to see some problems down<br />
the road.”<br />
The Knoxville legislator pointed out<br />
that he had ultimately supported the<br />
Shelby County-only version of last year’s<br />
bill, but “unfortunately, a judge shut it<br />
down.” He reminded his colleagues that<br />
he had “asked that the current bill be<br />
rolled” until a version with dependable<br />
safeguards for school districts statewide<br />
could be perfected, but,” unfortunately it<br />
was not rolled.” Consequently, “I will be<br />
voting no tonight. I hope I’m wrong, but
politics<br />
I don’t think I’m gonna be.”<br />
Objections came also from representatives<br />
from the city of <strong>Memphis</strong>, who,<br />
unlike their suburban Shelby County<br />
colleagues, were opposed to the bill.<br />
Representatives G.A. Hardaway, Antonio<br />
Parkinson, and Johnnie Turner all took<br />
shots at the measure, articulating their<br />
concerns about the effect of the bill on<br />
the county’s unified school district, still in<br />
the process of formation, and extracting<br />
assurances from primary House sponsor<br />
Curry Todd (R-Collierville) that the bill<br />
had no immediate impact upon the future<br />
disposition of school buildings currently<br />
owned by Shelby County.<br />
Both Hardaway and Parkinson gave<br />
voice to a rumor that has circulated widely<br />
of late, namely, that an unspoken arrangement<br />
exists between the bill’s sponsors<br />
— Todd and Senate majority leader Mark<br />
Norris being the principal ones — and<br />
Republican colleagues in districts elsewhere<br />
to the effect that a one-year window<br />
would be held open for Shelby County<br />
and would be closed for everybody else by<br />
follow-up legislation next year.<br />
Todd, who had begun his remarks by<br />
expressing thanks for the “61 signatures”<br />
of House co-sponsors he had received,<br />
blithely gave assurances that no such revocation<br />
next year was planned and that if<br />
it was proposed, “I would vote against it.”<br />
Representative Craig Fitzhugh<br />
(D-Ripley), leader of the 27 House<br />
Democrats, made one last stand against<br />
the measure. “I hadn’t planned to speak<br />
on <strong>this</strong> bill,” Fitzhugh said. “I thought<br />
I didn’t have a dog in the hunt. … But,<br />
as so goes <strong>Memphis</strong>, so goes my little<br />
town and my district.” And he expressed<br />
concern about the “long-term effect” of<br />
the bill upon <strong>Memphis</strong>.<br />
In the Senate, Democratic leader Jim<br />
Kyle (D-<strong>Memphis</strong>) warned his Senate colleagues<br />
of potential negative effects of the<br />
bill on other counties and other districts.<br />
“A special school district could withdraw<br />
and become a municipal district,” he<br />
said. “This is a mistake — a mistake you’ll<br />
see in your community one day.” And<br />
senators would ask themselves, said Kyle,<br />
“‘Why did I get involved in a boundary<br />
dispute in Shelby County?’ ... bringing to<br />
your front door what essentially is a local<br />
dispute.”<br />
The bill now requires only the<br />
signature of Governor Bill Haslam and<br />
perhaps an ultimate vetting by Mays.<br />
• Another long-running <strong>issue</strong> dealt with<br />
as the General Assembly neared the end<br />
of the 2013 session was legislation (SB<br />
0132) proposed by state senator Stacey<br />
Campfield (R-Knoxville) that would have<br />
required the state department of human<br />
services to reduce state aid to families of<br />
failing school children.<br />
Dubbed “Starve-the-Children,” the bill<br />
would be shunted off to “summer study”<br />
by the state Senate, earning a fate that had<br />
previously befallen Campfield’s “Don’t<br />
Say Gay” bill that would have outlawed<br />
discussions of homosexuality in the state’s<br />
elementary schools. That bill, after being<br />
relegated to summer study in 2011, finally<br />
expired in a House committee <strong>this</strong> year.<br />
The first hint of serious trouble for<br />
Campfield on SB 0132 came during floor<br />
debate, when GOP majority leader Norris<br />
pronounced himself “queasy” about<br />
the bill, which would reduce state aid to<br />
dependent families whose children were<br />
experiencing grade trouble. The bill had<br />
already engendered a mid-week statement<br />
of opposition from Haslam and had<br />
been actively opposed by any number of<br />
agencies and institutions concerned with<br />
student welfare.<br />
Norris told Campfield, “You’re fooling<br />
yourself,” regarding the Knoxville senator’s<br />
claim that only parents and not children<br />
would be penalized by the withholding<br />
from the affected family an average of $20<br />
a month in state support payments. The<br />
majority leader also referred to the bill as<br />
“the sort of legislation that gets challenged<br />
in a court of law as vague and ambiguous,<br />
arbitrary and capricious.”<br />
Concurring with a statement by state<br />
senator Lowe Finney (D-Jackson) that<br />
the bill would “make the child responsible<br />
for the parents’ actions,” Senator Todd<br />
Gardenhire (R-Chattanooga) said, “You<br />

can’t legislate parental responsibility. I<br />
don’t care what you do.” He foresaw “unintended<br />
consequences” for the student.<br />
“The parent will beat the dog doo out of<br />
him for taking that $20 away from them,<br />
that’s what’s going to happen.”<br />
In the end, with Lieutenant Governor<br />
Ron Ramsey (R-Blountville), the Senate<br />
speaker, explicitly encouraging him to<br />
do so, Campfield offered to have the<br />
bill referred again to the Senate health<br />
committee and to have it relegated to the<br />
aforesaid summer-study status, which<br />
he hoped would allow it to be ultimately<br />
retooled in coordination with K-12<br />
education subcommittees of the Senate<br />
and House.<br />

Collierville, Bartlett, Lakeland, Arlington,<br />
and Millington — will finally have<br />
the opportunity to pursue their vision of<br />
municipal school independence.<br />
Beyond the certainties that Governor<br />
Bill Haslam will sign the municipalschools<br />
bill into law and that the six suburban<br />
governments will set up and pass<br />
new referenda, there remain obstacles.<br />
U.S. district judge Hardy Mays may be<br />
asked to vet the bill just passed via new<br />
or existing litigation (though the bill’s<br />
statewide application appears to spare it<br />
the taint of special legislation that caused<br />
Mays to rule against last year’s version of<br />
municipal-schools legislation).<br />
More problematically, the <strong>issue</strong> of<br />
whether new municipal districts in Shelby<br />
County will tend to foster resegregation is<br />
part of the Shelby County Commission’s<br />
standing litigation against the municipalschools<br />
process, and Mays still has the<br />
option of holding trial on that point.<br />
And there are practical matters — the<br />
question of school buildings being the<br />
most obvious one. Both the particulars of<br />
the new bill and the realities of the calendar<br />
make it impossible for new municipal<br />
school districts to come into being before<br />
the school year that begins in August<br />
2014, and between now and then, the<br />
matter of how and at what cost the suburban<br />
municipalities will avail themselves<br />
of the buildings and other infrastructure<br />
now belonging to Shelby County must be<br />
resolved.<br />
Still and all, it now seems a given that<br />
there will indeed be municipal school<br />
districts in suburban Shelby County,<br />
EDITORIAL<br />
And All Have Won Prizes<br />
Now that both houses of the Tennessee General assembly<br />
have passed legislation enabling new municipal districts to<br />
be created on a statewide basis, it would appear that Shelby<br />
County’s six suburban municipalities — Germantown,<br />
probably as soon as August of next year.<br />
Even before all the smoke clears, it is<br />
possible to enumerate some of the things<br />
that have been accomplished during the<br />
two and a half years of conflict and maneuver<br />
and cross-purpose regarding the<br />
public schools of <strong>Memphis</strong> and Shelby<br />
County.<br />
First, the anxieties regarding a possible<br />
loss of funding that prompted the <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
City Schools board to dissolve itself<br />
are now disposed of. Until its charter<br />
surrender in December 2010, MCS was<br />
technically a special school district whose<br />
board majority feared that a Republicandominated<br />
legislature would convert<br />
Shelby County Schools into another special<br />
district with no obligation to share its<br />
school tax levies with city schools. That<br />
danger has now passed. The old MCS has<br />
meanwhile morphed, through merger,<br />
into the official county district, which, by<br />
state law, can draw upon the education<br />
fund created by the whole county tax<br />
base. Back then, <strong>Memphis</strong> residents paid<br />
an extra tax to sustain their city schools.<br />
No more. Henceforth, it will be the residents<br />
of suburban schools who pay the<br />
extra school taxes.<br />
And, even during the halcyon days of<br />
the old Shelby County Schools system,<br />
a few of the municipalities hankered to<br />
have more control over their schools.<br />
Now, they will.<br />
City-county school unity has apparently<br />
proved to be a chimera. But, oddly<br />
enough, to adapt an old proverb, the ill<br />
wind of discord may have blown everybody<br />
some good.<br />
COmmEnTARy by Danziger
Over the past three sessions, the Tennessee<br />
General Assembly, dominated<br />
by archconservatives from the Tea Party<br />
wing of the GOP, have brought us bill<br />
after bill expressing the fundamental<br />
convictions of their ideology: Keep the<br />
government out of business and cut<br />
benefits to the “unworthy.”<br />
From a change to the workers’ compensation<br />
system to “tort reform” that<br />
caps damages to cuts to the Hall tax and to<br />
the eventual sunset of the inheritance tax<br />
(a levy which only affected 900 people a<br />
year at its peak), these changes to state law<br />
benefit a scant few Tennesseans.<br />
Governor Haslam supported all of<br />
these bills.<br />
A single piece of progressive legislation,<br />
the lowering of the sales tax on food by<br />
a quarter of 1 percent, was originally opposed<br />
by the administration before its passage<br />
in the final days of last year’s session.<br />
This year, an additional .25 percent cut in<br />
sales tax on food is a part of the governor’s<br />
legislative agenda and on track to pass.<br />
So, while corporations and the wealthy<br />
saw their state taxes and potential liabilities<br />
drop by thousands of dollars a year,<br />
average Tennesseans saw a tax cut of a<br />
mere $3.65 annually — which will buy a<br />
burrito at your local Pilot Travel Center.<br />
A recent Vanderbilt poll showed that<br />
Governor Haslam enjoys a 68 percent<br />
approval rating. That same poll also notes<br />
that 60 percent of Tennesseans think state<br />
government should place a priority on<br />
policies that help build the economy and<br />
create jobs. Haslam’s signature economic<br />
development bill was the aforementioned<br />
tort reform, passed in 2011. A study by the<br />
Economic Policy Institute shows that “reform”<br />
of <strong>this</strong> sort actually slows job growth.<br />
Last year, the governor touted his<br />
“Tennessee Economic Miracle” to the<br />
chattering classes on cable TV. Since the<br />
beginning of Haslam’s term, poverty in<br />
Tennessee has increased to nearly 17<br />
percent, wages have remained stagnant,<br />
and unemployment has tracked national<br />
averages. Some miracle.<br />
None of the bills supported by the<br />
governor increases job creation or wages,<br />
nor do they extend the buying power<br />
of regular Tennesseans. Instead, all help<br />
wealthier people save money, which is an<br />
inefficient, if not downright chimerical,<br />
job-creation strategy.<br />
Last year, the governor asked every<br />
agency of state government, other than<br />
education, to cut 5 percent from their<br />
budget. To cover the losses, state administrators<br />
trimmed staff and sought to<br />
erect barriers to eligibility. These changes<br />
VIEWPOINT By Steve Ross<br />
Pennies from Haslam<br />
Are you struggling while the special interests<br />
thrive? The governor thinks it’s your fault.<br />
don’t need legislative approval. They<br />
do, however, keep eligible people from<br />
receiving services.<br />
According to a recent study authored by<br />
Cyril Chang of the University of <strong>Memphis</strong>,<br />
some 98,000 Tennesseans qualify for<br />
TennCare but are not in the system. Many<br />
of these working Tennesseans either don’t<br />
know they qualify or don’t have the time or<br />
resources to navigate the maze of requirements<br />
to meet eligibility. Many blame the<br />
federal government, but the state runs<br />
most federal social services through block<br />
grants. Block grants give the state authority<br />
to establish eligibility guidelines, within<br />
reason. The state has been pushing the edge<br />
of reason to the limit.<br />
Through it all, Haslam’s policies<br />
further a system of government that<br />
focuses on helping those who don’t need<br />
it rather than those who do. It’s a policy<br />
agenda that fits nicely into a worldview<br />
that has dominated American politics<br />
for the past 30 years.<br />
“Personal responsibility,” a longtime<br />
rallying cry of the GOP, holds that people<br />
who have access to quality health care,<br />
education, and capital accomplished <strong>this</strong>,<br />
because they chose to or worked hard for<br />
it — even if they were born into it.<br />
On the other hand, people lacking such<br />
access don’t deserve help, because they<br />
made bad choices. If you’re not doing well,<br />
according to Republicans, it’s because of<br />
something you did or didn’t do, regardless<br />
of your circumstances.<br />
While some may contest the strength<br />
of Haslam’s commitment to <strong>this</strong> brand<br />
of “personal responsibility,” it’s there,<br />
obscured behind his mushy language and<br />
overshadowed by the red-herring rhetoric<br />
of the General Assembly’s firebrands.<br />
For the 2.6 million Tennesseans whose<br />
earnings are near or below poverty, and<br />
the 2.2 million more who are one financial<br />
disaster away from poverty, Haslam’s<br />
economic policies do absolutely nothing<br />
to provide relief.<br />
In the end, the governor has shown he<br />
believes that if you aren’t making it, it’s not<br />
because of your circumstances, or bankers<br />
who tanked the financial system, or laws<br />
that actually slow job growth. It’s something<br />
you did to yourself.<br />
The best average folks can expect are<br />
365 pennies from Haslam, one a day —<br />
cold comfort for millions of Tennesseans<br />
struggling to get by.<br />

What are the Grizzlies'<br />
prospects in the tough Western<br />
Conference postseason?<br />
SCOVER STORY BY CHRIS HERRINGTON | PHOTOGRAPHS BY LARRY KUZNIEWSKI<br />
aturday night at FedExForum was a troubling and likely costly bump<br />
in what has otherwise been a strong regular-season nish for <strong>this</strong> year’s<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> Grizzlies. At 55 wins and counting heading into Wednesday’s<br />
season nale against the Utah Jazz, the Grizzlies have enjoyed, by a<br />
decent margin, the best regular season in franchise history. But they’ve<br />
had the misfortune of doing so amidst a brutally tough Western<br />
Conference landscape, which makes the record both more impressive<br />
and less e ective.<br />
e Grizzlies — the only Western Conference team located east of the<br />
Mississippi River — would have been the second seed in the East, but with Saturday’s<br />
home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the team will only be h in the West and,<br />
pending an unexpected development in the season’s nal two nights, will likely begin<br />
their postseason on the road.<br />
at’s disappointing, but according to many observers around the league, the<br />
Grizzlies never should have gotten even <strong>this</strong> far, not a er trading Rudy Gay at<br />
midseason.<br />
e Gay trade became something of a Rorschach test around the league. NBA<br />
traditionalists — invested in reputation, narrative, per-game stats, and highlights —<br />
were apoplectic and dismissive. e most notorious response came from ace Yahoo!<br />
Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, who took a gratuitous shot at new executive<br />
John Hollinger, called new controlling owner Robert Pera a “freeloader” for whom<br />
“winning isn’t a priority,” and concluded that the team had intentionally “bailed” on a<br />
chance at a playo run.<br />
Others followed. Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix wrote that Pera “now wears the<br />
black hat of an owner who prioritized pro ts over winning, a scarlet letter players<br />
won’t soon forget.” On broadcasts, former players such as Magic Johnson bemoaned<br />
the deal while describing an imaginary Rudy Gay.<br />
Meanwhile, commentators attuned to statistical analysis and the league’s complex<br />
salary rules were more sanguine, seeing Gay as a player making Lebron James<br />
money and getting touches and shots commensurate with that comparison, but<br />
actually performing as the team’s fourth best player. And they deemed <strong>this</strong> a bad<br />
allocation of resources, especially in the context of a small-market franchise. In <strong>this</strong><br />
quarter of the NBA cosmos, the deal was seen as a lateral short-term move that<br />
averted long-term disaster.<br />
At rst, the trade did seem to have the potential to derail the season, with the team<br />
and its coach in a funk for several days, but sometime between a road loss to Atlanta<br />
and a home win against Golden State, there was an attitude adjustment. Holding court<br />
outside the locker room before the Warriors game, head coach Lionel Hollins asserted<br />
that he had moved past his displeasure over the deal and expected his team to do so as<br />
well. e Grizzlies proceeded to win eight games in a row and 14 of their next 15.<br />
e Grizzlies stood at 30-18 (a .625 winning percentage) at the moment of Hollins’<br />
“calming the waters” address. ey’ve gone 25-8 (.758) since, pending the regularseason<br />
nale.<br />
Rather than being shackled by the absence of Gay’s one-on-one shot creation,<br />
as critics suspected, the team’s o ense has instead been freed. Despite a wildly<br />
anachronistic paucity of three-point shooting and the seemingly accelerating decline<br />
of leading scorer Zach Randolph, the Grizzlies o ense has improved.<br />
At the time of the trade, the team’s o ense was 22nd out of 30 NBA teams<br />
in scoring per possession — the most accurate measure of o ense — and<br />
trending down. An ecstatic November had been revealed as a mirage, driven by<br />
unsustainable individual shooting performances, and in December and January<br />
the o ense had collapsed.<br />
But from the moment of Hollins’ acquiescence, things began to turn around. With<br />
the new roster, the team has settled into a league-average o ensive performance while<br />
holding ground as an elite defense.<br />
ere hasn’t been much change in the kind of shots the team’s taken since the<br />
roster shake-up — they still take roughly a third of their attempts from mid-range,<br />
they’re still the league’s least proli c three-point shooting team, etc. — but they have<br />
redistributed who’s taking and creating those shots, with strongly positive results. And<br />
most notably, the fourth-quarter struggles against the Clippers notwithstanding, the<br />
team’s improvement has been most dramatic in exactly the kinds of situations where<br />
critics assumed the team would miss Gay most.<br />
With Gay, the Grizzlies had ranked 26th in “clutch” o ense, per NBA.com. (Clutch<br />

points.) Since then — and, admittedly, a sliver of game time taken from less than half<br />
a season is not a very reliable sample size — the team has ranked h in clutch scoring.<br />
It’s remarkable just how much the team’s shi ing style of play has re ected the<br />
styles of Gay and his replacement, veteran Tayshaun Prince.<br />
Prince is not the stat generator Gay was, but the Grizzlies have happily sacri ced<br />
some individual shot creation, rebounds, blocks, and steals for surer ball handling,<br />
quicker and smarter ball movement, and more consistently attentive defense. e<br />
team doesn’t feast o turnovers the way it once did but executes its o ense better in<br />
the halfcourt and guards the three-point line better. And redistributing some of Gay’s<br />
team-high touches to other players has helped Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, and sixthman<br />
Jerryd Bayless all bloom.<br />
For various reasons — some<br />
connected to the mid-season deals and<br />
some not — <strong>this</strong> Grizzlies team seems<br />
better equipped for the playo s than<br />
last year’s model. e o ense, while<br />
still problematic, is more functional.<br />
Gasol and Conley have improved. Tony<br />
Allen, whose knee was bothering him a<br />
year ago, seems at least a little healthier.<br />
Quincy Pondexter has become a more<br />
assertive three-point shooter since last<br />
spring. Prince won’t force bad shots<br />
or lose track of shooters the way Gay<br />
did. Bayless has matched O.J. Mayo’s<br />
scoring in the sixth-man role but with<br />
more solid ball handling. And there<br />
seems to be no way he won’t improve<br />
on Mayo’s disastrous postseason play.<br />
O the bench, forwards Ed Davis and<br />
Darrell Arthur, while both inconsistent,<br />
are likely to give the team more<br />
than Marreese Speights and Dante<br />
Cunningham did last season (which<br />
wasn’t much).<br />
And while Randolph’s poor play<br />
down the stretch is a signi cant concern,<br />
he was limited last spring too. If his<br />
heroics from two years ago seem to be<br />
gone for good, he should at least be able<br />
to match his play from last season, when<br />
he had just come back from a serious<br />
knee injury.<br />
If there are reasons for optimism,<br />
there are also signs of concern. e<br />
Clippers are, again, the probable<br />
opponent, and <strong>this</strong> time they are likely<br />
to have homecourt advantage. ey’ve<br />
had a better season as well and enter<br />
the playo s healthier a er having their<br />
two best players — Chris Paul and Blake<br />
Gri n — banged up last spring. e<br />
Clippers have won three straight games<br />
at FedExForum and have beaten the<br />
Grizzlies in seven of 11 contests between<br />
the two teams since last April.<br />
ese two teams will enter the postseason with potentially the widest range<br />
possible of any teams in the NBA. Either could make a run to the NBA Finals with<br />
the right breaks, but if they face o in the rst round, as expected, one will be going<br />
home early.<br />
What would an early exit mean for the Grizzlies? e team’s new ownership and<br />
front o ce — vindicated with the Gay deal — will face a decision <strong>this</strong> summer:<br />
Keep much of <strong>this</strong> core together for two more seasons (the amount of time veterans<br />
Randolph and Prince are still under contract) or embark on a more aggressive<br />
overhaul around the fulcrum of Conley and Gasol. What happens over the next<br />
couple of weeks could well determine which course to chart.<br />

coverage throughout the postseason, see “Beyond the Arc,” Chris Herrington’s Grizzlies<br />

COVER STORY | PLAYOFF BOUND!<br />
Tony Allen (top)<br />
and Ed Davis (above)<br />
X-Factors<br />
FIVE SPECIFICS THAT COULD DETERMINE THE GRIZZLIES'<br />
PLAYOFF FATE.<br />
1. A More Gluttonous Gasol: Two years ago, when the Grizzlies made their<br />
deep playo run, Marc Gasol was Zach Randolph’s sidekick. is time, the roles<br />
need to be reversed. But that requires a team-wide recognition: from the coaching<br />
sta , from Gasol’s teammates, and, perhaps most of all, from the unsel sh-toa-fault<br />
Gasol himself. While Gasol’s usage rate has shot up since Gay’s departure,<br />
it still lags behind both Randolph and Jerryd Bayless. Gasol is the Grizzlies’ best<br />
matchup advantage against the Clippers, the team’s likely rst-round opponent,<br />
where he averaged 17-9-4 on 54% shooting in the season series while still taking<br />
fewer shots than Randolph, who shot 37%. Last Saturday night, with homecourt<br />
likely on the line, Gasol led the team in points, rebounds, and assists — yet had<br />
only one eld-goal attempt and zero assists in a stagnant 14-point fourth quarter.<br />
is should now be Gasol’s team. It’s time for him to claim it.<br />
Zach<br />
Randolph<br />
2. Z-Bo’s Bully Ball: While it’s unfair to expect<br />
Randolph to be the o ensive force he was two<br />
springs ago, and unwise to funnel him the ball<br />
as if he is, the Grizzlies still need him to impose<br />
his physicality. While Randolph’s shooting and<br />
scoring have declined, his elite rebounding has<br />
held steady. And his penchant for close-quarters<br />
combat doesn’t seem to suit Clippers star forward<br />
Blake Gri n, who averaged only 14 points<br />
and seven rebounds on 44% shooting against the<br />
Grizzlies <strong>this</strong> season, well short of his All-Star<br />
averages. Gri n topped 20 points only twice in<br />
seven games against the Grizzlies last spring.<br />
3. e Conley Correlation: All season long, the Grizzlies’ fate has tended to<br />
align with Mike Conley’s performance. And with Conley having a career-best<br />
season, that connection has worked in the Grizzlies’ favor. But it could be a<br />
problem if the Clippers’ matchup holds. A bulked-up Conley’s big nish will get<br />
a stern postseason test from probably the best defensive point-guard tandem in<br />
the NBA: Chris Paul and rugged reserve Eric Bledsoe. e latter, in particular,<br />
has been Conley kryptonite, with the Grizzlies’ lead guard shooting 30% in the<br />
season series with the Clippers but even worse when Bledsoe has been on the<br />
oor. In last year’s postseason series, per NBA.com, Conley shot 25% when Bledsoe<br />
was in the game and 48% when he wasn’t.<br />
4. 3-D: e Grizzlies were an average team in terms of defending against threepoint<br />
shooting before the Rudy Gay trade but have been the NBA’s best in that<br />
department since. A more attentive Tayshaun Prince is less likely to surrender<br />
the kind of long-range barrage that helped the Clippers steal Game 1 last spring.<br />
Meanwhile, the Clippers struggle to defend the three. If Prince and reserve<br />
Quincy Pondexter (a combined 8-15 from three against the Clippers <strong>this</strong> season)<br />
nd the range, <strong>this</strong> usual disadvantage could swing in the Grizzlies’ direction.<br />
5. e irsty Dog & 4th Quarter Chris: As frustrating as his o ense can be<br />
at times, Tony Allen defends, in his own words, like “a thirsty dog,” and that key<br />
weapon can’t be underexploited. is will be particularly interesting in a Clippers<br />
rematch, where Clips star Paul tends to involve teammates early and look<br />
for his own o ense late. In the nal seven minutes Saturday night, Allen got the<br />
assignment and held Paul to only one basket (a di cult step-back jumper) and<br />
zero assists.

perFormance could impact their Future with the team.<br />
lionel hollinS: Hollins is not under contract<br />
for next season — maybe you’ve heard — and<br />
management has insisted it would wait until the<br />
conclusion of the season to deal with <strong>this</strong> <strong>issue</strong>.<br />
Hollins’ traditionalist approach and the new front<br />
office’s more progressive bent made for a bumpy fit<br />
initially, and, for much of the season, Hollins’ return<br />
seemed like an even-money proposition. It looks more<br />
likely now, but there’s still a negotiation to be made,<br />
and how far Hollins can take <strong>this</strong> team can’t help but<br />
impact his leverage. Could a first-round flameout —<br />
something worse than a mere series loss — cause the<br />
organization to second-guess Hollins’ return? I took a<br />
deep dive into the coaching <strong>issue</strong> at “Beyond the Arc,”<br />

Lionel Hollins and<br />
Jerryd Bayless<br />
Jerryd BayleSS: Bayless has a player option next season for roughly $3 million.<br />
Early in the season, when he was struggling as a backup point guard, there seemed<br />
to be a good chance Bayless might take the option and return. But after the trades of<br />
Wayne Ellington and Rudy Gay opened up more minutes at scoring guard and more<br />
touches and shots generally, Bayless bloomed as a classic “sixth man,” playing both<br />
guard spots, sometimes finishing games, and essentially equalling the production O.J.<br />
Mayo had given the team in a similar role. Now, it’s looking more likely that Bayless<br />
will opt out. Because Bayless would have only played one year with the team, the Griz-<br />

zlies would not have “Bird Rights” on him — meaning it could not exceed the salary<br />
cap to resign him without using the team’s free-agency exception. Bayless has been erratic<br />
in his career, but a couple of big playoff games could raise his profile and value <strong>this</strong><br />
summer. That’s the catch for the Grizzlies: The better Bayless plays, the more likely he’ll<br />
be to leave. But the Grizzlies would accept the risk of that trade-off.<br />
tony allen: Could we really be seeing Tony Allen’s final games as a Griz? It’s possible.<br />
Allen will be an unrestricted free agent <strong>this</strong> summer and looking for a substantial<br />
raise over his current $3.3 million salary. The bet here is that the Grizzlies are willing<br />
to give him one, but exactly how much and — perhaps more crucially — for how long<br />
could be sticking points. A two-year deal for around the mid-level exception or just<br />
under (say, $5 million) makes the most sense for the Grizzlies, but a strong postseason<br />
performance could convince another suitor to offer something bigger or lengthier,<br />
which would force the team into a tough decision. Is there life after Grit and Grind?<br />
zach randolph: Unlike Hollins, Bayless, and Allen, Randolph is under contract<br />
for next season, but he may still be — once the Hollins situation is resolved —<br />
the team’s biggest question mark going into the summer. Randolph has two more<br />
years and more than $34 million on the books. (The final year is a player option<br />
but one he would be likely to take.) With Randolph’s soft decline seeming to accelerate,<br />
the Grizzlies will no doubt be taking a long look at their options if Randolph<br />
struggles in the playoffs — or maybe even if he doesn’t.<br />
ed daviS: Davis is an interesting case. He’s under contract for $3.2 million next season<br />
but is eligible for an extension <strong>this</strong> summer. There’s reason to believe the 23-yearold<br />
acquired in the Gay trade could be the starting power forward of the future, but the<br />
team hasn’t done much to find out, with Davis topping 20 minutes in only nine games<br />
for the Griz after averaging 34 minutes a night in Toronto in the month before the deal.<br />
Davis is a limited scorer but grades out as a better defender than Randolph or Darrell<br />
Arthur, and in those nine games he averaged 10 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks<br />
(in only 25 minutes) on 61% shooting, and the team was 8-1, including 4-0 with Davis<br />
as a starter. And yet Davis played only eight minutes in two crucial games last weekend.<br />
How significantly he’ll figure in the postseason is a mystery, as are the prospects for an<br />
extension <strong>this</strong> summer.<br />

Surrender Dorothy By Susan Ellis<br />
If ever (oh ever) a wiz there was, the Wizard of Oz is one, because (times six) of the wonderful<br />
things he does. For example, 113 years after L. Frank Baum penned his great American fairy<br />
tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and nearly three-quarters of a century following the iconic<br />
MGM movie adaptation starring Judy Garland, the Wizard is still bringing patrons to the<br />
theater in droves. Last summer, the Orpheum’s summer film series screening of The Wizard of<br />
Oz attracted a capacity crowd, and as of now, Sam Rami’s Oz the Great and Powerful, a prequel<br />
to the original, is 2013’s reigning worldwide box-office champion. Ballet on Wheels opens The<br />
Wiz at the Cannon Center in May, and Wicked, a revisionist musical focusing on the witches of<br />
Oz, makes its return to the Orpheum in January 2014. This week, Ballet <strong>Memphis</strong> is reviving its<br />
grandly imagined retelling of young Dorothy Gale’s trip by cyclone from the Kansas plains to a technicolor land where a scarecrow dances and monkeys fly.<br />
When Ballet <strong>Memphis</strong>’ young director Steven McMahon originally staged Wizard of Oz in 2007, he shunned American composers and looked across the Atlantic for<br />
sonic inspiration, choosing dynamic selections by Gustav Holst and Benjamin Britten. McMahon, last seen onstage tearing the head off of a teddy bear in George & Betty’s<br />
House at Playhouse on the Square, took an unabashedly modern approach to the well-known material, blending visual elements from the original film with his own, more<br />
expressionistic vision for Baum’s dark-edged classic.<br />

Mr. Amurica<br />
By Chris Davis<br />
What will you see in Jamie Harmon’s epic “Obsessed Life Camera” photo exhibit, opening at Material <strong>this</strong> week?<br />
“This show is all about people. It’s everybody I ever took a photograph of in my entire life,” Harmon says. “Well,<br />
obviously, it’s not everyone. That would be too many photos.”<br />
Harmon, who ran the <strong>Memphis</strong> riverboat photo concession for years and is now best known for his “Amurica” photo<br />
booth, laughs at himself. Because in Mr. Amurica’s world, there’s no such thing as too many photos.<br />
Hamlett Dobbins, Material’s owner/programmer, may not have fully understood what he was getting into when he<br />
approached Harmon about putting together a show. “He said he’d look through my Facebook page,” Harmon remembers.<br />
“And then I got <strong>this</strong> message from him saying, ‘You have 30,000 images in your Facebook albums. So I’m going to do my<br />
best.’”<br />
Dobbins and Harmon sorted through the portraits, event photographs, live music photographs, crowd shots, and<br />
documents of everyday life at home with his family and friends. Eight hundred 6-by-9-inch prints were made.<br />
“We wound up only being able to hang 500 of them because the space wasn’t big enough,” Harmon says. “We’re going<br />
to have another 200 to 300 in boxes for people to sift through like I did growing up, when, once a year, we pulled the bag<br />
of family photos out of the china cabinet and sat on the floor to look through them.”<br />
Among the surprises: Harmon discovered a shot of Lucero’s Brian Venable as a 15-year-old checking out a hardcore<br />
show at the Antenna club.<br />
“It’s kind of cool to have that next to a shot of him playing with Lucero,” Harmon says.<br />

Person of Interest<br />
Checking in with <strong>Memphis</strong> rap legend DJ Paul.<br />
DJ Paul, one-half of the Oscar-winning and<br />
platinum-selling <strong>Memphis</strong> rap pioneers<br />
Three 6 Mafia, talked with the <strong>Flyer</strong> about<br />
his latest album/DVD, A Person of Interest,<br />
working on a new mixtape with fellow<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> artist and producer Drumma<br />
Boy, stepping back into the DJ-ing realm, and more.<br />
<strong>Flyer</strong>: There’s been a lot of coverage on fellow Three 6<br />
Mafia member Juicy J and his new endeavors with Wiz<br />
Khalifa’s Taylor Gang imprint, but can you give readers an<br />
update on what you’ve been up to lately?<br />
DJ Paul: Just DJ-ing, man. Still doing my live performances,<br />
obviously, but I’ve been doing a lot of DJ performances as<br />
well. I’ve got the new album out. It came out the end of last<br />
year. I’m still promoting that. I’m shooting videos from that.<br />
And we’re finalizing a new mixtape called Clash of Da Titans.<br />
It’s me and Drumma Boy.<br />
What are your thoughts<br />
on A Person of Interest?<br />
It’s my favorite solo<br />
album that I’ve done. I<br />
like it more than I did<br />
the Scale-a-Ton album,<br />
because I think it was a<br />
lot more raw. I like the<br />
piano solos that we put in<br />
the album.<br />
You’re back DJ-ing now.<br />
Isn’t that how you got<br />
your start with music?<br />
Yeah, I used to DJ in<br />
[Club] 380 Beale, and I<br />
had a couple clubs myself.<br />
That was how it all<br />
started. That was originally<br />
how I learned how<br />
to use my studio equipment.<br />
I just wanted to be<br />
a producer. I didn’t want<br />
to be a rapper. So I would make beats for Lord Infamous,<br />
and [he] would rap.<br />
But as a way to get extra money, I would take the equipment<br />
I bought — a keyboard, a turntable, and a four-track<br />
recorder — and I would make mixtapes and sell them in<br />
high school. But then I got slick with it. I would start mixing<br />
my artists’ songs in between it. You know, like sneak<br />
it in and kinda introduce the song. So I might be playing<br />
like some LL Cool J, then I throw in some Skinny Pimp in<br />
the middle of it, and then come out of it into some N.W.A.,<br />
Geto Boys, or whatever the case was. And I eventually<br />
started making mixtapes with more of our songs on them<br />
until the mixtapes turned into just our songs, like mixtapes<br />
are now today.<br />
What made you return to DJ-ing?<br />
The reason why I’m back in it today is because, well, I look at<br />
it two ways. One way is, obviously, I’m getting older around<br />
here. I can’t predict the future, but I can’t imagine that<br />
somebody is gonna want to see me bounce around a stage<br />
at 65 years old talking about ‘Tear Da Club Up,’ ‘Sippin’ on<br />
Sizzurp,’ and I got a glock in my drawers and shit like that. So<br />
I’m just prepared for the future.<br />
It’s easy to sell and play somebody else’s hits than to be<br />
sitting up here, 55 years old, trying to write your own. And<br />
it’s fun to get up there and DJ. You got all your boys in the DJ<br />
booth with you and your girls. You travel state-to-state and<br />
country-to-country, just playing records, rocking the crowd,<br />
and still get on the mic and do your own songs.<br />
And then it’s something that I always liked. When I’m at<br />
the house and I throw parties, I have a DJ booth set up in<br />
my living room with the speakers that go out all over the<br />
house — to the theater room upstairs, to the swimming pool<br />
outside. In my living room, I got disco balls, lights, and all<br />
that. You’ll think you’re in the club when you’re in my house.<br />
I be up in there just DJ-ing. It’s something that I do at the<br />
house anyway, so I was like, shit, I might as well start back<br />
doing it in the club and<br />
get paid for it.<br />
It’s been several years<br />
since Three 6 Mafia released<br />
their last album,<br />
Last 2 Walk. Is there<br />
anything in the works<br />
to be dropped for the<br />
future?<br />
Naw, there ain’t nothing<br />
in the works right now.<br />
You know, both of us are<br />
doing our solo thing.<br />
He’s doing his thing with<br />
[Taylor Gang] right now,<br />
and I’m doing my thing<br />
with Drumma Boy and<br />
the DJ-ing and all that,<br />
so we really haven’t had<br />
time to do anything<br />
together. We still talk<br />
about the next project<br />
and <strong>this</strong> and that, but we<br />
haven’t physically recorded anything. But in the future, we’re<br />
definitely going to do something.<br />
What can listeners expect from the mixtape with Drumma<br />
Boy?<br />
Us being two of the hardest producers to come out of the<br />
South, we thought that it would be cool if we came together<br />
and made one. Both of us are producing and rapping on it.<br />
We’ve got features on it. We’re gonna drop it on 7-11 [July<br />
11th].<br />
Who are some artists that you’re listening to right now?<br />
I like Waka Flocka. I like A$AP Rocky. I like Kendrick Lamar.<br />
I don’t listen to a lot of rap, to be honest. I listen to more<br />
shit like David Guetta and Diplo. I like a lot of the EDM<br />
[electronic dance music] cats like Skrillex. I listen to a lot of<br />
’80s and ’70s music.<br />

“Monterey Jazz<br />
Festival on tour”<br />
at GerMantown<br />
PerForMinG arts Centre<br />
The Monterey Jazz Festival is the<br />
longest consecutively running<br />
jazz festival in the world, and to<br />
celebrate its 55th year, the fest has<br />
hit the road with a touring show of<br />
contemporary jazz stalwarts. The<br />
tour comes to the Germantown<br />
Performing Arts Centre <strong>this</strong> week,<br />
headlined by singer Dee Dee<br />
Bridgewater (pictured).<br />
Bridgewater was born in<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> in 1950 (her father taught<br />
at Manassas High School) but raised<br />
in Michigan before emerging as a<br />
major jazz figure in the 1970s. She’s<br />
a multi-Grammy winner and also<br />
won a Tony for performing in The<br />
Wiz in the mid-Seventies. Along<br />
the way, she’s played Billie Holiday<br />
onstage, recorded tributes to Ella<br />
Fitzgerald and Horace Silver, and<br />
been an ambassador for the genre<br />
via a syndicated NPR show.<br />
At GPAC, Bridgewater will be<br />
joined by bassist Christian McBride,<br />
who was one of the biggest new<br />
jazz figures to emerge in the 1990s.<br />
Others performing are: bop pianist<br />
Benny Green, prolific drummer<br />
Lewis Nash, saxophonist Chris<br />
Potter, and trumpeter Ambrose<br />
Akinmusire.<br />
The Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour is at the Germantown Performing Arts<br />
Centre on Sunday, April 21st. Showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets start at $25. See<br />

Booked to Perfection<br />
Three local food books hit the shelves.<br />
Angela and Paul Knipple were still<br />
working on their first book, World in a<br />
Skillet: A Food Lover’s Tour of the New<br />
American South, when the idea for a<br />
second book fell into their laps.<br />
“We were discussing with the [University of North<br />
Carolina Press] marketing department the ways<br />
that World in a Skillet would be marketed, and they<br />
showed us an example of a postcard they would send<br />
out. The book on the example was Farm Fresh North<br />
Carolina,” Paul says. “We said, ‘We should do that for<br />
Tennessee!’”<br />
The couple then spent the next year traveling<br />
throughout the state to document all the farms, dairies,<br />
farm stands, U-picks, farmers markets, festivals,<br />
breweries, and distilleries they could find. Starting in<br />
West Tennessee and working eastward, the Knipples<br />
explored more than 360 farms and farm-related activities<br />
— from an exotic animal zoo in Alamo to the nation’s<br />
southernmost native cranberry bog in Shady Valley.<br />
Farm Fresh Tennessee documents their journey, laying<br />
out a clear and concise road map for any agritourist to<br />
swoon over. The tour comes complete with farm-fresh recipes, stories of local<br />

Something spicy?<br />

And you can get it<br />

farmers, and handy<br />
info boxes on myriad<br />

The book is<br />
available at the Booksellers at<br />
Laurelwood, online at Amazon, or at uncpress.unc.edu.<br />
In 40 Days to Better Living Cookbook, Carolyn Nichols has<br />
collected 200 recipes from her 10 years serving as nutrition<br />
education coordinator for the Church Health Center. Divided<br />
into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, each recipe<br />
is healthy, portion-controlled, and readily accessible to<br />
untested culinary newcomers.<br />
“These are all original Church Health Center recipes,”<br />
Nichols says. “It’s a way to live and eat a little healthier. We’re<br />
trying to get people back into the kitchen. All the recipes<br />
are user-friendly. We went to a regular grocery store, not a<br />
health-food store, for the ingredients. We wanted to include<br />
recipes that are easily accessible, made from pantry items.<br />
We thought, What are recipes that people are actually going to go home and<br />
make? Not many people are going to make tofu tacos and jicama slaw.”<br />

ooked to perfection<br />
Each recipe comes with a nutritional analysis and a guideline for serving sizes.<br />
Most of the recipes are familiar favorites, made with recognizable ingredients,<br />
some of which — butter, cheese, chocolate — breach the conventional dieter’s<br />
taboos.<br />
“What we teach in the kitchen is all things in moderation,” she says. “As long as<br />
you’re exercising and eating the right portion sizes, including plenty of fruits and<br />
vegetables, it’s okay to have a cookie every now and then.”<br />
40 Days to Better Living Cookbook is available at the Booksellers at Laurelwood<br />
and online at churchhealthcenter.org.<br />
What’s so different about a single girl’s style of cooking that it deserves its own<br />
cookbook?<br />
“I’m teaching them how to cook for one, save money, and also have food<br />
available for the next day,” says Ragan Oglesby, author of The Single Girl’s Guide<br />
to Great Cooking: The Cosmopolitan Cook. “A lot of times women don’t want to<br />
cook meals, because they’re single and don’t want to cook for<br />
one person.”<br />
Oglesby’s book is a roundup of<br />
simple recipes for traditional American<br />
cuisine (chili, chicken pot pie), but<br />
she throws in some challenges for her<br />
newbie chefs as well, including saffron<br />
risotto and pecan-crusted lamb. The<br />
idea is to take single ladies from kitchenphobes<br />
to confident queens of the kitchen.<br />
The Single Girl’s Guide to Great Cooking<br />
will be on sale at Oglesby’s book-release<br />
party on April 20th at 7:30 p.m. at 300<br />
South Main, where guests will enjoy<br />
cocktails and samples of select items from<br />
the book. After April 20th, you can purchase<br />
the book at Barnes & Noble, on Amazon, or<br />
at theragancompany.com.<br />

Fathers and Sons<br />
andsome, tatted-up carnival<br />
cyclist Luke Glanton (Ryan<br />
Gosling) spends night after<br />
night defying gravity and<br />
safety by riding around and<br />
around a Globe of Death with<br />
two other daredevils while the working-class<br />
crowds under the big top ooh and ahh. Does<br />
Glanton ever notice that he works in such an apt<br />
metaphor for his own existence? He leads a flashy,<br />
hollow, confined, and repetitive life.<br />
One night he changes his ways: Inspired by a<br />
chance encounter with his former lover (Eva Mendes),<br />
who informs him of the infant son he didn’t know he<br />
had, Glanton drives his trusty motorbike out of the<br />
steel cage and becomes the “Moto-Bandit,” a highstrung<br />
bank robber looking for one big score that will<br />
redeem him in the eyes of his makeshift family.<br />
So begins director/co-writer Derek Cianfrance’s The<br />
Place Beyond the Pines, a well-organized, earnest, and<br />
hokey film whose title aptly suggests an interlocking<br />
short-story collection that’s been writers-workshopped<br />
half to death. The film’s literary pretensions and artistic<br />
ambitions are just fresh and sincere enough to be frustrating<br />
and irritating when they miss their mark.<br />
The opening act of Place is its strongest, and the<br />
raw, kinetic camerawork that follows Glanton on his<br />
dirtbike conveys the mad rush of driving fast as well as<br />
anything in the Fast and Furious series. But Cianfrance’s<br />
cult-member conviction that Ryan Gosling’s face in tight<br />
close-up is an ever-changing and fascinating whirlpool<br />
of emotional ripples is distracting.<br />
Gosling is still the good-looking lump he was in<br />
Drive, but he still can’t stand around and attract meaning<br />
like some steely-eyed genre axiom. Just when you’ve<br />
had enough of staring blankly into the Gosling abyss,<br />
though, the film whips around to follow the adventures<br />
of young policeman Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper) as he<br />
chases criminals like Glanton and tries to steer clear of<br />
the bad deals going down at his local precinct.<br />
The film’s second act is also concerned with the ethical<br />
conundrums facing a new father who wants to provide<br />
film review By Addison Engelking<br />
Staring blankly into the Gosling abyss in the earnest but overworked The Place Beyond the Pines.<br />
H<br />
Jackie Robinson’s is one of the great stories in modern<br />
American culture. Born a sharecropper’s son, Robinson<br />
became a multi-sport star at UCLA and an Army man<br />
before being discharged for refusing to move to the back<br />
of a bus. He was a Negro Leagues baseball star before<br />
breaking the color barrier for the National League’s<br />
Brooklyn Dodgers, suffering all measure of abuse with<br />
strength and dignity on the way to becoming one of the<br />
most significant figures in the history of America’s civil<br />
rights movement. Oh, and he happened to be one of the<br />
greatest players to play his country’s signature sport.<br />
Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford<br />
Ryan Gosling<br />
It’s a rich story that deserves commensurate film treatment.<br />
It deserves the epic take that Spike Lee longed to<br />
give it at his Do the Right Thing/Malcolm X peak — full of<br />
energy and detail and politics and subjectivity. It deserves<br />
the filmmaking acumen and high-wattage cast that Michael<br />
Mann brought to the flawed but considerable Ali.<br />
Instead, in the form of 42, from writer-director<br />
Brian Helgeland, the Robinson story takes the form of a<br />
conventional inspirational sports movie, just barely a step<br />
up from the likes of Glory Road or We Are Marshall. 42<br />
(the film’s title refers to Robinson’s uniform number) puts<br />
just a bit too much of a halo on Robinson, underscored<br />
by the presence of a prayerful schoolboy fan who tracks<br />
his hero’s spring-training debut. The supporting performances<br />
rarely rise above acceptable into the memorable<br />
range. And the exterior scenes, in particular, have the<br />
lightly CGI’d look of painted postcards — though the ingame<br />
scenes feel more credible than most.<br />
Harrison Ford plays Branch Rickey, the Dodgers<br />
executive who famously recruited Robinson. Ford’s<br />
hammy performance is cringeworthy on first contact<br />
but becomes more agreeable the longer you live with it.<br />
As Robinson, Chadwick Boseman is neither beacon nor<br />
albatross. He looks the part on the field more than most<br />
actors and holds his own off it but doesn’t quite elevate<br />
the middling material.<br />
Given the limitations here, the film makes a good decision<br />
in balancing its use of Ford’s Rickey as an audience<br />
for his family — only <strong>this</strong> dad is on the right side<br />
of the law. Nevertheless, Cross eventually has to<br />
reckon with a wicked fellow officer (Ray Liotta,<br />
naturally) who’s trying to drag him into the<br />
murky world of the corrupt cop. A third dramatic<br />
shift moves the story ahead to focus on Glanton’s<br />
and Cross’ teenage sons, who have inherited none<br />
of their parents’ willpower and all of their selfdestructive<br />
urges.<br />
Cianfrance is keen on the ways everyday conflicts<br />
awkwardly and suddenly become emotional<br />
showdowns, and he likes to set his stories in more<br />
remote, more working-class American towns. These<br />
tendencies are promising.<br />
Unfortunately, the emotional fireworks of his first<br />
film, 2010’s Blue Valentine, are almost completely absent,<br />
in part because the female roles here are so threadbare.<br />
(Rose Byrne, who plays Cross’ wife, is almost invisible.)<br />
Cianfrance’s narrative strands are also woven together<br />
too neatly at the end. But he’s a hoper and an optimist,<br />
and he makes a more than convincing case that hitting<br />
the road is a justifiable way out.<br />
Thumb’s up, kind of.<br />
The Place Beyond the Pines<br />

Ridgeway Four<br />
film review By Chris Herrington<br />
Jackie Robinson biopic is a minor take on a major story.<br />
stand-in with Wendall Smith (Andre Holland), a young<br />
black journalist who befriends and chronicles Robinson.<br />
And, while one scene where white reporters mock a<br />
colleague’s press-box racism feels anachronistic, the film<br />
doesn’t always flinch from the environment Robinson<br />
confronted. Philadelphia Phillies’ manager Ben Chapman<br />
(Alan Tudyk) subjects Robinson to lengthy verbal<br />
abuse. And the strongest scene happens in Cincinnati,<br />
where the film has the steeliness to give us a little Norman<br />
Rockwell-esque scene of a father and son in the<br />
stands, anticipating the game, only for <strong>this</strong> all-American<br />
duo to both shout racial epithets the moment Robinson<br />
takes the field. It pulls back further to suggest the fans<br />
are relatives of Dodgers’ shortstop Pee Wee Reese (Lucas<br />
Black), who puts his arm around Robinson and explains,<br />
“I got family up there from Louisville. I need them to<br />
know. I need them to know who I am.”<br />
After a recruitment and tryout prelude, the film<br />
covers only Robinson’s breakthrough rookie season, but<br />
even at 128 minutes across a relatively tight time frame,<br />
the film feels slight. It’s a worthwhile primer on an essential<br />
American story, but it leaves you wanting more<br />
and better.<br />

Free Will Astrology<br />
by Rob Brezsny<br />
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The writer<br />
Oliver Burkeman has some advice that<br />
would be helpful for you Aries folks to<br />
hear right now: “When you assume your<br />
current preferences won’t alter, you’ll make<br />
bad decisions: embarking on a career<br />
or marriage, say, not with a view to its<br />
durability, but solely based on how it makes<br />
you feel now.” I am most definitely not<br />
predicting that you are about to make the<br />
kind of bad decision Burkeman refers to.<br />
I’m sure my warning here in <strong>this</strong> horoscope<br />
will derail any temptation you might have<br />
to make short-sighted moves.<br />
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’m happy to<br />
report that help from the invisible world is<br />
available to you right now. Of course, you<br />
won’t be able to use it, let alone tune in<br />
to it, if you don’t believe there is any such<br />
thing as help from the invisible world. So, if<br />
you are the type of person who is very sure<br />
that reality consists of nothing more than<br />
what your senses reveal, I suggest that you<br />
temporarily suspend that belief. And if you<br />
are someone who has had direct experiences<br />
with blessings that come from the unseen<br />
realm, be aware that the imminent delivery<br />
is quite different from those you have<br />
known in the past.<br />
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her book A<br />
Monster’s Notes, Laurie Sheck describes the<br />
nuances of the term “ghost” in the German<br />
language. A mediocre wine may be called<br />
unghostly, she says. A witty, lively person is<br />
“Rich in Ghostliness,” whereas a dull, blank<br />
type “has no ghost in him.” In <strong>this</strong> spirit,<br />
Gemini, I suspect you will have some pretty<br />
fine ghostliness working for you in the<br />
coming weeks. And there’s a good chance<br />
that part of your extra-special mojo will<br />
arise from your creative engagement with<br />
energies that resemble the more traditional<br />
definition of “ghost.”<br />
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A one-minute<br />
video commercial for the Cosmopolitan<br />
luxury resort in Las Vegas shows an elegant<br />
woman at a sumptuous feast. She’s eagerly<br />
holding her dinner plate up to her face so<br />
she can lick it clean of its last delicious taste.<br />
The scene shifts to a well-dressed man who’s<br />
down on all fours serving as a chair for a<br />
chic woman. She applies her make-up while<br />
gazing into the shiny mirror-like surface of<br />
a high-heeled shoe. New scene: An 80-yearold<br />
woman pats the butt of a handsome<br />
young stud with whom she’s slow-dancing.<br />
At the end of the ad, a catchphrase appears:<br />
“Just the right amount of wrong.” I say, let<br />
that be your mantra in the coming week,<br />
Cancerian.<br />
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Albert Einstein<br />
published his General Theory of Relativity<br />
in 1916. It had radical implications for the<br />
field of theoretical physics, but remained<br />
an unproven concept until 1919. Then, a<br />
British physicist verified its accuracy with<br />
evidence gathered during a solar eclipse. The<br />
Times newspaper in London announced<br />
the event with the headline “Revolution<br />
in Science: New Theory of the Universe,<br />
Newtonian Theories Overthrown.” Not<br />
wanting to be left behind, The New York<br />
Times assigned one of its own journalists<br />
to cover the revolution. Unfortunately,<br />
the person they sent was a sports reporter<br />
whose specialty was golf. His article was less<br />
than illuminating. The moral of the story,<br />
as far as you’re concerned, Leo: When big<br />
developments are underway, show up at full<br />
strength, with all your powers engaged.<br />
vIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Never to get<br />
lost is not to live,” writes Rebecca Solnit in<br />
her book A Field Guide to Getting Lost. In<br />
fact, she says that not knowing how to get<br />
lost is unhealthy. These are useful ideas to<br />
consider right now, Virgo. It will probably<br />
do you good to get at least semi-lost. As you<br />
wander around without a map or compass,<br />
I bet you will stumble upon important<br />
teachings. At the same time, I hope you will<br />
put some thought into how you’re going to<br />
get lost. Don’t just leave it to chance. Make<br />
sure there’s a method in your madness.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the English<br />
language, “low man on the totem pole” is<br />
an idiom that refers to a person who has<br />
the worst job or the least status. He or she<br />
is considered to be at the low end of the<br />
hierarchy. But it’s an incorrect metaphor.<br />
The creators of the original totem poles<br />
were indigenous Native American tribes of<br />
the Pacific Northwest, and, for them, the<br />
figure at the bottom of the pole was the<br />
most important one. I foresee the possibility<br />
of a similar situation arising in your sphere,<br />
Libra. Be alert for a misapprehension that<br />
needs to be righted. It may be the case<br />
that what’s last should actually be first.<br />
Something that has been beneath or behind<br />
“more important” matters should perhaps<br />
get higher priority.<br />
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his book<br />
Karmic Traces, Eliot Weinberger describes<br />
the life story of naked mole rats. They’re<br />
animals that never leave their underground<br />
tunnels. Normally, you Scorpios have<br />
nothing in common with them. But in the<br />
coming days, I’m hoping there will be one<br />
resemblance. According to Weinberger,<br />
the naked mole rats “change direction by<br />
somersaulting.” Metaphorically speaking,<br />
I think <strong>this</strong> would be an excellent strategy<br />
for you. There’s no need to mope cautiously<br />
as you alter your course. No need to be<br />
lackadaisical and fitful and full of doubts.<br />
Just spring into action with a cheery<br />
bounce, and move on with a renewed sense<br />
of purpose.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The<br />
famous philosopher John Searle unleashed<br />
a witty dig about the famous philosopher<br />
Jacques Derrida, saying he is “the sort of<br />
philosopher who gives bullshit a bad name.”<br />
One of your fun assignments in the coming<br />
week, Sagittarius, is to do the opposite of<br />
what Derrida’s work does. In other words,<br />
give bullshit a good name. How? Well, you<br />
could engage in creative verbal expressions<br />
that boost morale and propagate delight and<br />
lubricate worthwhile connections. Make up<br />
noble fictions that are more accurate and<br />
useful than the literal truth. Spread uplifting<br />
gossip that heals and invigorates.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The<br />
ideal piano player is the one who wants to<br />
be the piano,” says a character in Thomas<br />
Bernhard’s novel The Loser. He continues:<br />
“I say to myself every day when I wake<br />
up, I want to be the Steinway, I want to<br />
be the Steinway itself.” Your assignment,<br />
Capricorn, is to apply <strong>this</strong> attitude to your<br />
own personal situation. In other words,<br />
merge with the tool you want to master.<br />
Immerse yourself in the skill you’re working<br />
to perfect — disappear into it. In your<br />
imagination, become completely united<br />
with the thing or person or experience<br />
you desire.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The<br />
trouble with our age is that it is all signpost<br />
and no destination,” said writer Louis<br />
Kronenberger. I’m concerned that you may<br />
have fallen under the sway of <strong>this</strong> kind<br />
of myopia, Aquarius. A steady stream of<br />
useful tips and clues has been appearing,<br />
but you’re missing some of them. Your<br />
long-range goals aren’t sufficiently clear, so<br />
you don’t always recognize the significance<br />
of new revelations. Here’s the cure: In your<br />
imagination, create a vivid picture of your<br />
next big destination.<br />
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A group<br />
of bicyclists in Southern California<br />
challenged a blogger to a race. They said<br />
they could cover the 38.4 miles from North<br />
Hollywood to Long Beach faster on their<br />
bikes than the blogger could get there by<br />
plane. As it turned out, they were right.<br />
Their trip took an hour and 34 minutes.<br />
As for the blogger, he had to drive to the<br />
airport, wait for the plane to depart, fly to<br />
a different airport, then catch a cab to the<br />
designated destination. He arrived about an<br />
hour after the cyclists. Can you guess which<br />
of those two modes of travel is the preferred<br />
metaphor for you <strong>this</strong> week, Pisces? The<br />
earthy, simple, stripped-down approach will<br />
get you where you need to go better than<br />
the big, elaborate, expensive method.<br />

Discreet Chat Guy to Guy 901.896.2438
the rant By Tim Sampson<br />
Okay, so by the time <strong>this</strong> comes out I might be able to<br />
peel myself off the ceiling, because the PBS In Performance at the<br />
White House: <strong>Memphis</strong> Soul special will have aired on WKNO and will have been<br />
screened at the Malco Paradiso and the overdrive gear I’ve been in might shift a little more into neutral, but I hope not.<br />
Timberlake<br />
and Cropper<br />
And I hope the city and everyone who lives here picks up on the<br />
momentum and keeps it going.<br />
Those of you who read <strong>this</strong> column with any regularity (regularity<br />
in reading, of course) know that I work at the Stax Museum of<br />
American Soul Music, Stax Music Academy, and the Soulsville<br />
Charter School. And PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY BARACK<br />
AND MICHELLE OBAMA, uh, hosted a “<strong>Memphis</strong> Soul” concert at<br />
the WHITE HOUSE! Are you kidding me? During the year of the Stax<br />
Museum’s 10th anniversary? President Obama spent more than six<br />
minutes opening the show talking about the incredible awesomeness<br />
of Stax Records and Hi Records and how they not only created some<br />
of the best music in the world but also helped bridge the racial divide<br />
when the integrated musicians couldn’t eat at the same restaurants.<br />
Standing there in black tie, he told the crowd that because <strong>this</strong> is his<br />
second term he was going to forget “Hail to the Chief” and use Booker<br />
T. & the MGs’ “Green Onions”? Are you freaking kidding me?<br />
I may be in a home for the too excited by the time <strong>this</strong> column<br />
comes out. Just pray that I don’t try to jump from the old bridge to the<br />
new bridge in a single bound. And I haven’t even seen the concert as<br />
of <strong>this</strong> writing. <strong>Memphis</strong> as the fattest city, poorest city, dirtiest city ...<br />
whatever that list is — how about the effen coolest city and the city<br />
being celebrated at the White House?<br />
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That was a scream, not a sigh.) AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! again!<br />
Does everybody understand what <strong>this</strong> is going to do for <strong>Memphis</strong>? By the time <strong>this</strong> special is re-aired over the next few years, it will have been seen by more than 600<br />
million people. It is also going to be broadcast all over the world on the Armed Forces Network (it actually has a longer name than that and is sometimes referred to as<br />
“A-FARTS,” but we won’t go there).<br />
The show, in case you missed it, featured Mavis Staples, Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Justin Timberlake,<br />
Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Ben Harper, Charlie Musselwhite, Alabama Shakes, and others, all paying tribute to the music made right here in our own backyard. Did<br />
I mention <strong>this</strong> was at the White House with the president and first lady? And just come on with the online comments. Voice your opinions that while the country is<br />
falling apart the president is having a concert party paid for by your<br />
tax dollars. Because <strong>this</strong> has already been written about extensively<br />
in publications such as Rolling Stone, USA Today, The New York<br />
Times, The Washington Post, and every other major publication in the<br />
country, that kind of bitter, ridiculous, inaccurate drivel is out there<br />
already.<br />
Surprisingly, most of the local comments I’ve read in response<br />
to the concert coverage haven’t gone down that mealy-mouthed<br />
path. The concert was not paid for with your tax dollars. It was<br />
paid for through very expensive sponsorship dollars that WETA-<br />
TV (D.C.’s PBS affiliate) raises. So don’t bitch about it. I think we<br />
need a little <strong>Memphis</strong> soul music in the White House to loosen<br />
things up and let everybody let their hair down for an hour.<br />
It wasn’t like the president wasn’t out working his presidential<br />
backside off for stronger gun control laws until an hour before the<br />
taping and resumed an hour afterward.<br />
The best part of all <strong>this</strong> for me was a moment here in <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
before the big event, when I got to tell two students who attend<br />
the Soulsville Charter School and Stax Music Academy that<br />
they were going to be headed to the White House in a couple of<br />
days. Now, THAT is the way to have a great day. For me, it far<br />
outshined any other aspect of <strong>this</strong> whole tremendously good deal.<br />
To have some paperwork turned upside down on a conference<br />
room table, call them in, and tell them that they are in potentially<br />
big trouble, and then flip the papers over and say, “Unless you<br />
get these signed tonight — because you are going to the White<br />
House!” is something I’ve never done before and may never get the<br />
chance to do again, and it made me feel like I had hit the lottery.<br />
<strong>Memphis</strong> soul at the White House. I guess it was kinda, sorta okay.<br />
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!<br />
