Highroad Putting ‘The People’ in a political platform by Jim Hightower

hat if a political party’s platform actually stood for workaday people, rather than being a catalogue of far-out, right-wing nuttiness, or a batch of nothingness meant to preserve business as usual? Lo and behold: This year’s Democratic Party platform. It’s not perfect, of course, but thanks to Bernie Sanders’ revolutionary presidential campaign, this platform is

actually rich in populist policies for The People. It puts Democrats onrecord for such overdue national needs as: — A nationwide jobs initiative to hire millions of Americans to rebuild and expand our crumbling infrastructure. — A $15 national minimum wage. — Breaking up too-big-to-fail Wall Street banks. — Making public colleges tuitionfree for working-class families. — Expanding Social Security. — Making it harder for CEOs to block workers from joining unions. — Reestablishing postal banks in our public post offices to give lowincome families affordable access to banking. — Encouraging renewable energies to replace Big Oil’s destructive fracking process. — Expanding community health centers to reach 25 million more unin-

sured families, requiring Medicare to negotiate with Big Pharma to lower our drug prices, and encouraging states to provide universal health care. — Decriminalizing marijuana, eliminating for-profit prisons and detention centers, and abolishing the death penalty. — Eliminating SuperPacs, providing financing of elections and automatic voter registration, and making election day a national holiday. None of this is a done deal, but at least one party is committing to an agenda that grassroots progressives can organize around. So, let’s get moving!

. L. Mencken, the great 20th century iconoclast, defined “Puritanism” as “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may

fight the obesity epidemic, of course. For the record: According to a story in the Daily Camera, the soda tax is expected to raise $3 million a year “for programs designed to increase access to healthy foods, nutrition education and physical activity in low income communities of color.” Or more plainly, the $3 million the putative tax will raise will be spent creating a new city bureaucracy to nag and coerce people into adopting the Latter Day Neo-Puritan diet, consisting of foods and beverages most Americans, and especially American teenagers, don’t much care for — which is why school cafeterias have thrown away hundreds of thousands of tons of “healthy” meals. Just guessing here: I suspect people living in “low income communities of color” resent nagged and manipremove isbeing EPIC ulated by affluent puritan busy-bodies as much as white people do. Trying to ban foods and beverages kids consider a treat is not going to make them eat healthier, now or in the future. Quite the opposite.

letters Dyer was mostly right

I always enjoy Joel Dyer’s articles in the Weekly, but have to correct one serious error in the one he wrote on the benefit for the Great Sioux Nation’s claim to the Black Hills [Re: News, July 7]. It is a very common mistake, but one that implicitly diminishes the history and sovereignty of indigenous nations and peoples. Joel states several times in the article that the Black Hills [and other Native lands] were “given” to Native Americans forever in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie. And that nine years later the U.S. government illegally “took back” the Black Hills. The United States never had legitimate title to the ancestral lands of the Great Sioux Nation and so could not “give” those lands to the Sioux, nor, as the U.S. Supreme Court subsequently ruled in 1980 did the U.S. have any authority under the law of nations and treaties to “take back” lands it never owned. What we call “Indian reservations” are lands reserved from, not to, cession

Folsom Street Laundry by indigenous sovereign nations under nation-to-nation agreements — treaties subject to international law. Back then, and now, under the law of nations the only way one nation could receive legitimate title to the territory of another nation was in a treaty whereby one nation “ceded” territory to the other or as reparations in a “just war.” As the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights ruled in the 2002 Dann case, in a similar matter involving the theft of Western Shoshone lands by the United States, under international law a dominant colonial nation cannot simply illegally take and occupy the land and territory of another sovereign nation and then unilaterally choose to “pay” for its crime with money rather than the return of the stolen lands. The original claim to U.S. title of these lands is the Louisiana Purchase of 1802, whereby the U.S. purchased from the French its interests in some 828,000 square miles for about $11 million. The colonial term “Sioux” came from the

to acquire a few cases and bring them back to the east coast. Once the company began national distribution, the cachet went away. Today Right Coasters drive to Colorado for the pot, not the hops. When kids are denied something because they are kids — “kids don’t eat ice cream; it’ll make you fat,” “kids don’t do drugs; they’ll rot your brain,” “kids don’t drink pop; it’ll rot your teeth,” etc. — they get curious and before long start experimenting. No one smoked pot in middle school until the “kids don’t do drugs” thing started up. And when kids are told “kids don’t do something,” then doing it becomes a way of declaring you aren’t a kid anymore, and it becomes a rite of passage. Proponents of the tax argue that it will cause a significant drop in soft drink consumption. In a town where the average price of a home is $1 million, huh? I’m skeptical. If you think that this sort of Nanny-statism is going to stop at the Boulder City Limits, you’re whistling in the graveyard. All three Boulder County Commissioners have endorsed the soda tax.

posal suddenly materializes. There was a time in the 1970s when Boulder prided itself on being a live-and-let-live, do-your-own-thing kind of town. Asked to describe the Boulder scene in the ’70s, cartoonist Rob Pudim told Newsweek, “The only rule is that there are no rules.” That was before the local picky eaters took over the place. If you had to describe Boulder today, it could be neatly summed up by what Left Coast people used to call the Prime Directive of the People’s Republic of Berkeley: That which is not forbidden is mandatory. How will it all end? First they came for the ice cream — and I didn’t speak out because I don’t like ice cream. Then they came for the soft drinks — and I did not speak out because I don’t like soft drinks. Then they came for the French fries and the hamburgers — and I didn’t speak out because I don’t like burgers and fries. Then they came for my dinner — and there was no one left to speak for me. That’s because they were all over in Weld County chowing down on burgers, fries and ice cream, and washing it down with Cokes.

guest column Racism: The root cause of violence By Bob Norris

t is difficult to say anything that provides sufficient comfort to the victims of police or other violence regardless of the race of the victim, but is especially difficult to comfort those who have been victims of more than fatal shootings. People of color continue to be treated poorly in this country and not just by some in law enforcement. This includes insults, job discrimination, underfunded schools, dangerous neighborhoods, environmental racism, etc. In some locations daily harassment by police for being the wrong color leads to fear and distrust of police. Traffic stops based on the color of the driver causes resentment. Not all law enforcement practice racist behaviors, but enough do to create fear and resentment. Those officers who tolerate these behaviors of the offending officers contribute to the problems. We are fortunate to live in Longmont and Boulder County where incidents are now rare and the sheriff and police chief do not tolerate offensive behavior and screen out potential offenders at the hiring stage. Screening of candidates is critical to eliminating problem officers. Candidates should be rejected if they are racially or otherwise biased, do not have the ability to make good decisions under pressure, and/or can’t interact favorably with all residents. Community policing and training are important but only effective with adequate screening. Excessive force by some officers has targeted white residents as well as minorities and does not justify attacks on any officer. It is likely, as in the case of the slain officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, that good officers are as likely to be attacked, as are bad officers. Many of the problems will exist until we reduce the extent of racism and other biases in our communities and nation. Pablo Pelligrini sings in one of his songs that hatred is taught in the hearts of the young. If you are teaching your children to hate others, you are the root cause of violence, including violence by law enforce-

ment, poor schools, limited health care, poverty, etc. It is incredible that the presidential candidate for a major party speaks and promotes bias based on gender, ethnicity, country of origin and religion. A study by the Southern Poverty Law Center directly links increased bullying in schools to speeches made by Donald Trump. One of the seven principals of my faith is to affirm and promote: “The inherent worth and dignity of every person.” This principal, if followed by everyone, would lead to a much better community, nation and world. This is more than being respectful and polite to others regardless of how they differ from you. It requires action on each of our parts. It requires more than voicing our sadness at events and support for those offended and harmed. We must insist that our institutions are fair and equitable to all. School funding must be equal. Discrimination in employment must no longer occur. Income equality must be addressed vigorously. Those who oppose increases in the minimum wage and payment of a living wage need to understand that not providing enough to feed children a healthy diet is hurting all of us. Not providing access to health care is a long-term, costly strategy not just for the physical health of individuals, but for the longterm fiscal health of communities and the nation. These failures disproportionately impact people of color. Everyone should have an equal voice in deciding issues impacting our communities, state and nation. Giving much more power to a relatively small number of financially well off people (Citizens United) is hard to reconcile with the founders’ intent for one man, one vote (as limited as that was at the time). Voter suppression efforts that many Republican-controlled state legislatures have passed (and often ruled unconstitutional) were aimed at disenfranchising people of color and others because doing so would impact the outcome of elections.

LETTERS from Page 7

French (the term the Great Sioux federation of sovereign indigenous nations use for themselves is the “Ochethi Sakowin,” meaning “Seven Council Fires”). However, the Sioux had never been conquered by nor ceded their lands to the French. Thus, the French — again under international law as it existed then and exists now — could not and did not transfer any title to Sioux lands that it did not have to the United States. This is demonstrated by the need for subsequent treaties, including those in 1851 and 1868, between the Great Sioux Nation and the United States, which would have been unnecessary if the U.S. had obtained any title to Sioux lands from the French. The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 is clearly a “peace treaty” between two independent nations following border conflicts and wars, including the Dakota War of 1862, which ended when President Lincoln authorized the hanging of 38 Dakota men in the greatest mass execution in U.S. history after the U.S. had breached the terms of treaties it made in 1851. U.S. military tribunals in Minnesota had initially convicted and sentenced to death 303 Dakota Sioux warriors, some in trials lasting less than five minutes, but President Lincoln, despite pressure from white Minnesotans to “hang men for votes,” commuted the death sentences of all but 38. Following the executions, the mass grave was raided for cadavers and some of the warriors were skinned by a military surgeon who sold the skins in Mankato, Minnesota, and others were kept for lessons in osteology by the Mayo Clinic. Numerous subsequent battles between Sioux warriors and the U.S. occurred in Sioux territory between then and Red Cloud’s War in which the indigenous nations were victorious, and which led to the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. Article I of the Treaty proclaims: “From this day forward all war between the parties to this agreement shall forever cease.” Article II then “sets apart” from “relinquishment” — from cession — those certain territory described in the treaty and the signatory indigenous nations then “relinquish all claims or right in and to” the lands outside that territory. Thus, the “setting apart” in the treaty was not a “giving” by the United States of land and territory it did not own to the Sioux, but was an express reservation by the Great Sioux Nation of those ancestral lands from relinquishment of territory and lands to the United States. The Sioux had been the victors in the War and the United States sought peace. The purpose of this provision of this peace treaty was to demarcate and secure Boulder Weekly

from encroachment the territorial boundaries of the Great Sioux Nation, not to cede any land to the United States. Under international law, which the United States chose and choses to ignore, the Ochethi Sakowin continue to hold lawful title to those lands and territory to this very day. Obviously, the occupying imperial colonial power would seek to declare both its ownership of the lands of colonized nations and its “largesse” in “giving”

land to its indigenous victims. But, such declarations are fraudulent propaganda meant to assuage the consciences of the dominant race and its leaders and courts. The only things the United States, as the colonial successor then and now to the original invading imperialist powers, ever “gave” the Sioux or any other indigenous peoples here or in other countries around the world are slow death, disease and forced removal and assimilation — what we now call

Joel Dyer’s 1996 conversation with Howard Zinn [RE: Cover story, June 30} shows how a long historical view into the past can create a lens through which to see the future.

They, the City of Boulder, should have built much more public, subsidized and low income housing, instead of allowing million dollar condos, opting out of the “you must build some affordable housing” on site of any high scale development “plan” moving forward. Instead they took the money and I wonder what it was really spent on? Millions upon millions... You dropped the ball, just like with the homeless situation and punishing “them,” the poor and wretched sub human kind, the vagabonds. Boulder City Council, City Manager and City Attorney: Will Boulder ever really be progressive, or just politically correct and then not really act on the principles they supposedly stand for? When it doesn’t cost them, the citizens and politicians of Boulder will do as little as possible, even make “back room deals,” trading realty and less desirable plots between the Boulder Housing Partners and The City of Boulder, making a killing off the poor and disenfranchised. Wonder why most of the board of the Housing Partners are rich, fat cat realtors or connected to them? “The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.” I can smell the shit all the way from Boulder to Providence, which is ethnically and ethically more diverse, though even more corrupt than your beloved

City Of Boulder, lily white and don’t know what reality is, so they create their own, which doesn’t include the poor, disenfranchised and/or homeless. They will provide you a bed in the Boulder County jail, though, if you resist in any way. Keep moving!!! Anyone for a high-priced salad at Whole Foods, followed by a couple hours at Vic’s, on the computer, living in a virtual world, in the city of the rich and infamous, living in the Disneyland they call Boulder, Colorado?

Convention time is an opportunity for seniors

The Democratic and Republican conventions are upon us and regardless of political party the next president must listen to the needs of older Americans. Seniors today are in true peril because of the severe dilution of our so-called “federally guaranteed” ERISA law protections. The 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was signed into law under President Gerald Ford to protect vulnerable older Americans and establish minimum standards and protections for pensioners. Now 42 years later, too many of our former employers, aided by the insurance industry and Wall Street, are subverting ERISA by dumping their retirees’ earned pensions, into unprotected group annuity contracts. Unlike pensions, annuities are not protected against lawsuits and creditor and bankruptcy claims, nor by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and are barely sheltered by 50 different insurance industry run state guaranty associations. The next President and Congress have a moral obligation to uphold the intent of ERISA and protect the earned rights of older Americans against corporate tricks that devastate the foundation of our retirement security. The non-profit ProtectSeniors.Org of which I am a part, is leading the fight for retirees’ but can only be successful with a chorus of many loud voices behind them. I urge my fellow retirees to join me and ProtectSeniors.Org in making our issues heard. We must use our votes this election year to support only those who support the financial security of retirees.

New Men’s Sex Pill Makes Viagra Obsolete Scientific advance made just for older men. Works on both men’s physical ability and their desire in bed. By Harlan S. Waxman Health News Syndicate New York – If you’re like the rest of us guys over 50; you probably already know the truth… “Viagra® doesn’t work! Simply getting an erection doesn’t fix the problem” says Dr. Bassam Damaj, chief scientific officer at the world famous Innovus Pharma Laboratories. As we get older, we need more help in bed. Not only does our desire fade; but erections can be soft or feeble, one of the main complaints with Viagra®. Besides, Viagra® is expensive… costing as much as $50.00 a pill. Plus, it does nothing to stimulate your brain to want sex. “I don’t care what you take, if you aren’t interested in sex, you can’t get or keep an erection. It’s physiologically impossible,” said Dr. Damaj.

MADE JUST FOR MEN OVER 50 But now, for the first time ever, there’s a pill made just for older men. It’s called Vesele®. A new pill that helps you get an erection by stimulating your body and your brainwaves. So Vesele® can work even when nothing else worked before. The new men’s pill is not a drug. It’s something completely different Because you don’t need a prescription for Vesele®, sales are exploding. The maker just can’t produce enough of it to keep up with demand. Even doctors are having a tough time getting their hands on it. So what’s all the fuss about?

WORKS ON YOUR HEAD AND YOUR BODY The new formula takes on erectile problems with a whole new twist. It doesn’t just address the physical problems of getting older; it works on the mental part of sex too. Unlike Viagra®, the new pill stimulates your sexual brain chemistry as well. Actually helping you regain the passion and burning desire you had for your partner again. So you will want sex with the hunger and stamina of a 25-year-old.

results were remarkable and published in the world’s most respected medical journals.

THE SCIENCE OF SEX The study asked men, 45 to 65 years old to take the main ingredient in Vesele® once a day. Then they were instructed not to change the way they eat or exercise but to take Vesele® twice a day. What happened next was remarkable. Virtually every man in the study who took Vesele® twice a day reported a huge difference in their desire for sex. In layman’s terms, they were horny again. They also experienced harder erections that lasted for almost 20 minutes. The placebo controlled group (who received sugar pills) mostly saw no difference. JAW-DROPPING CLINICAL PROOF 3 Satisfaction—Increase from 41.4% to 88.1% 3 Frequency—Increase from 44.9% to 79.5% 3 Desire—Increase from 47.9% to 82% 3 Hardness—Increase from 36.2% to 85.7% 3 Duration—Increase from 35% to 79.5% 3 Hardness—Increase from 36.2% to 85.7% 3 Ability to Satisfy—Increase from 44.1% to 83.3% AN UNEXPECTED BONUS: The study results even showed an impressive increase in the energy, brain-power and memory of the participants.

news thinking in relation to people of color and why we should invest more in peace and love toward our fellow men than hatred and violence.” At the Boulder event, Kambui will be joined by Brenda Lyle, founder and executive director of the Family Learning Center, which works to provide children from low-income, culturally diverse families with both academic and career development opportunities in Boulder County. As a black woman who has lived in Boulder for 38 years, Lyle hopes the community can discuss and address the issues she both sees and experiences every day. “The same issues that people are talking about around the country, to a certain degree, maybe a small degree or maybe a greater degree, are prevalent in our community,” Lyle says. “We’re not immune to those social justice issues.” Lyle says Boulder does a good job at hiding it, but poverty and racism are prevalent in the area. According to 2015’s The Status of Children in Boulder County Report, the child poverty rate has increased 74 percent since 1994 with 16.2 percent of children under 18 living in poverty in 2014. Additionally, 15.6 percent of children in Boulder County live just above the poverty line, although this number has remained relatively steady in the same time frame, as has the total poverty rate of 14.1 percent. And, citing the City’s recent reports of racial profiling in the police department, Lyle says she experiences racism, both overtly and in the form of white privilege and denial, perhaps more now than when she first moved here. She hopes to expose and address these aspects of modern day slavery at the Red Flame for Freedom event. “The whole concept of slavery was because of the color of your skin, because you’re part of the economic system of free labor. There was no access to opportunities of upward mobility,” Lyle says. “If you have systems that severely limit huge parts of the population from having equitable, not even equal, but equitable access to opportunities for upward mobility then you create the problems we’re seeing.” After sharing their own thoughts, experiences and research on the issues, Kambui and others from the Red Flame for Freedom tour plan on sitting and listening to Boulderites like Lyle, in hopes of building bridges and workshopping actionable steps for the community to take to address them. “With all the resources that we have in Boulder,” Lyle says, “If we can’t Boulder Weekly

Boulder can be a success story when it comes to these issues, becoming a “beacon of light and hope” for the rest of the country. And whereas Kambui could have become embittered by the injustices he’s both seen and experienced his entire life, he continues his work as a community organizer,

encouraging everyone everywhere to get involved and be part of the solution. “We want to bring to the light that we should be our brother’s keeper, that we should contribute to groups and contribute to people who are working in the community who are trying to balance things out,” Kambui says. “[We’re] trying to educate people into an understanding that we all owe each other respect via human dignity.”

news Rocking to stop the TPP by Dave Anderson

The responsibility of the artist in troubled times... is to tell the truth as we see it,” — Tom Morello

s the legendary guitarist for Prophets of Rage, Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave, Tom Morello has previously taken a stand against poverty, police brutality, immigrant rights, racism, militarism and union busting. Now he is performing in a free multi-city roadshow featuring high profile performers and speakers to defeat the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The tour kicks off in Denver on Saturday July 23 at 6 p.m. at the Summit Music Hall. It is sponsored by Fight for the Future, Firebrand Records, Communications Workers of America, CREDO, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, Citizens Trade Campaign, Public Citizen, Demand Progress, International Labor Rights Forum, KGNU Radio and the Teamsters. “Working people everywhere have had enough,” Morello says. “The TPP is nothing short of a corporate takeover of our democracy. That’s why people are rising up to stop it. Corporate lobbyists want to sneak the TPP through Congress quietly; that means it’s time for us to get loud.” Other performers include Anti-Flag (a popular punk band performing an acoustic set), the Flo-bots (Denver’s internationally known hip-hop act) and Downtown Boys (bilingual political sax punk group). Golden Globe-nominated actress Evangeline Lilly will also appear. She is best known for her role as Kate Austen in the TV show Lost and her films have included The Hurt Locker, Real Steel, The Hobbit and Ant-Man. But she is also a cross-genre writer, who writes for multiple demographics, and is a published author of a children’s book series, The Squickerwonkers. Lilly has a background in international relations and political science and will lead a TPP teach-in on Sunday at the music hall. “This fight against the TPP is not about right and left, it’s about right and wrong,” Lilly says. “Whatever you’re passionate about, whether it’s human rights, internet freedom, climate change, or food safety, the TPP is a bad deal for humanity, and a threat to the future of democracy. The more people learn about the TPP, the less they like it. It’s our responsibility to sound the alarm, before it’s too late.” Boulder Weekly

Why are a bunch of musicians getting involved in a political cause? Tom Morello, in a recent op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, explained: “There has never been a successful social movement in this country that has not had a great soundtrack. Joe Hill’s union anthems put wind in the sails of those fighting for an eight-hour workday in the early 20th century. ‘We Shall Overcome’ steeled the resolve of Freedom Riders during the civil rights movement. “Jimi Hendrix’s ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ channeled the moral cacophony of the Vietnam War through a Marshall stack at Woodstock. And one or two Rage Against the Machine songs were heard pumping in the streets as Starbucks windows were shattered during the Seattle antiglobalization uprising.” There’s a more practical reason, says folk singer Evan Greer who will also be performing. He says that the TPP has been negotiated in extreme secrecy for many years and there has been a near-blackout of news about it in the corporate media. Nevertheless, many organizations across a broad spectrum of politics are opposing it and could stop it if enough ordinary people found out about it and protested to their congressional representatives and senators. “We need to quickly educate people,” he says. Greer is the campaign director of Fight for the Future (FFTF), which is organizing the tour with Firebrand Records. FFTF is a digital rights advocacy group which, according to its website, “envisions a world where everyone can access the internet affordably, free of interference or censorship and with full privacy.” Greer told me this fight is tougher than previous FFTF struggles. When his group fought for net neutrality and against government surveillance, they had the support of some large corporations. But they are fighting “every large corporation in the world” when they oppose the TPP. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have said they oppose the TPP deal. President Obama was able to steamroll a vote to provide presidential fast-track authority for the bill, which means that if and when he sends the bill to Congress, there will be little discussion and absolutely no amendments. It would be just a “yes” or “no” vote. The fast track was passed in June 2015 with the support of Senate Majority Leader

Mitch McConnell and Rep. Paul Ryan, the subsequent House Speaker. A majority of Republicans voted for it and most Democrats voted against it. Among the minority of Democrats voting for fast track were two Coloradans, Senator Michael Bennet and Congressman Jared Polis. Colorado Democratic Representatives Diana DeGette and Ed Perlmutter voted against it, however, they haven’t committed to defeating the TPP. Polis claims he hasn’t decided. The FFTF campaign is determined to get as many members of Congress to commit to voting against the TPP. Obama says he wants to get it passed in the upcoming lame-duck session which follows the November election. That is a time when Congress will be freer to ignore the public’s concerns, and the president-elect could also then change his/her campaign position on the TPP, a very real possibility if history is any indicator. The coalition against the TPP is impressive. The entire labor movement opposes it because it would further export jobs to low-wage countries. Environmental groups anticipate attacks on environmental laws and energy policies under the deal’s Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). Internet-freedom groups are angry about the intellectual property chapter. Health care and senior organizations — including nurses’ unions, AARP and Doctors Without Borders — feel the TPP would imperil affordable medicines by possibly banning generics and disrupt current and potential progressive health care policies such single payer. Some right-wing groups oppose the TPP because they believe it threatens U.S. sovereignty through ISDS and existing international bureaucracies. There have been huge demonstrations against the TPP in many cities but not much news coverage. This near blackout of information can be explained by the fact that most mainstream news organizations are owned by major corporate conglomerates that favor passage of the trade deal. Colorado activists against the TPP have been fighting for years. Laura Avant, who is involved with the Progressive Democrats of America and Occupy Denver, says the movement in Denver has had several marches emphasizing “TPP Equals Betrayal.” She has visited the offices of DeGette, Bennet and Perlmutter quite a few times. In Boulder, many people have engaged in the cause with the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center as one of the principal opposition leaders. There have been sit-ins at Congressman Polis’ office as well as meetings with the congressman and his staff. There have been many public demonstrations and debates and forums and letters-to-the-editor and op-eds opposing the TPP. See STOP TPP Page 16

They expressed concern that the TPP would threaten votes by Colorado cities to protect health, safety and property from fracking as well as Boulder’s attempts to take control of its energy future and Fort Collins’ recent adoption of an aggressive carbon reduction plan.

However, they have yet Wikimedia/Adrian Gregori to get anyone to sponsor a resolution. Polis was challenged in this year’s Democratic primary on his TPP position (and other issues) by Boulder activist Steven Todd, but his “write-in” campaign started very late and was virtually invisible. Cliff Willmeng is running against Polis on the Green Party ticket and says the TPP is an important issue for him. Willmeng is a Lafayette nurse who is a progressive and longtime labor activist. The goals of the anti-TPP movement are twofold: mobilize the many who agree with their stance on the trade agreement but who haven’t been protesting, and additionally, to educate people who are unaware of the many negative impacts that would accompany the passage of the TPP. Tom Morello is using his rock Those opposed to the TPP say they are optimistic influence to fight against the TPP. they can stop the passage of the trade agreement and they may have good reason for being so. They can look back to past anti-trade victories such as when The Free Trade of the Americas was defeated by an intercontinental movement in 2005 and the Multilateral Agreement on Investment was killed by activist opponents in the 1990s. That is why on July 23, Summit Music Hall will be filled with both hope and great music. As Tom Morello is fond of saying, “The world ain’t gonna change itself.

exploration in the United States needs to drive our transition to renewable energy,” he wrote in a 2013 op-ed piece for The Huffington Post. “We don’t need Keystone. We need to wildcat the sun.” Becker was already leading the Presidential Climate Action Project, or PCAP, when he wrote the op-ed for The Huffington Post. PCAP engaged hundreds of thought leaders in producing recommendations on how the president could improve the nation’s climate and energy security. Becker recruited a large advisory committee of experts from government, academia, non-government organizations and philanthropies. Once the committee had devised recommendations for the president, Becker subjected them to extensive peer review by additional experts. “Now, we have convened another advisory committee of prominent Republican and Democrat thought leaders to start the process all over again, but this time with the objective of finding climate and clean energy policies that resonate with both conservative and progressive values,” he says. “But it’s important to understand two things about political polarization on climate change,” he adds. “First, the time is fast approaching when climate impacts will become so severe and ubiquitous that no rationale person will be able to deny them. Second, a majority of the American people across the political spectrum now accept that climate change is real, that it already is happening and that we must do something about it.” While Becker brings expertise on public policy, ecologist and former CU Boulder professor of ecology Mark Bekoff is able to speak for those who cannot speak at all — animals. Along with Jane Goodall, Bekoff co-founded the organization Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies in 2000. He’s written dozens of books about animal behavior, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds), behavioral ecology and compassionate conservation, and he has also published extensively on human-animal interactions and animal protection. Bekoff is one of the foremost leaders in a movement known as compassionate conservation, which essentially encompasses two principles: Do no harm and every individual counts. “Brown rats are invasive animals and some people will say there are millions

of them so we can kill some,” Bekoff says. “A compassion conservationist will say the life of a brown rat means a lot to them. Just because there are a lot them doesn’t mean we can kill them.” Bringing the concept home, Bekoff says he’s in favor of reintroducing wolves to Colorado, but only if they are granted full protection. “I wouldn’t want to be a part of a dump and prey project,” he says. “I think that if we intentionally bring animals back, then we need to protect them, not pull them off the endangered species list if there are ‘too many.’” Bekoff has been openly critical about collecting animals in the name of scientific advancement, whether they are kept in laboratories or zoos. He argues that when humans are forced to stop doing anything, they more often than not find creative new ways to handle problems. But one problem he’s seen humans struggle to face is the simple fact that there are far too many of us on the planet. “It’s about homeostasis — balance,” Bekoff says. “It’s very clear that humans have done a job on our planet and we’ve created imbalance. In my new book [Rewilding Our Hearts] I talk about the Anthropocene — the age of humanity. Well, I call it the rage of humanity. Biologists like to think about homeostatic systems, the balance of systems, and it’s the loss of homeostasis that’s responsible for climate change, the loss of species. But being out of balance is also representative of our isolation from nature. The idea of higher and lower species is a biological misnomer. Higher becomes synonymous with better, and that’s just not true.” While Bekoff can sound jaded, he’s anything but about the future in the face of climate change. “I’m a hopeful monster,” he says with a laugh. “I think to me the way forward comes back to the level of the individual, to rewiliding our hearts and becoming reconnected and enchanted with nature, in recognizing that every individual contributes in some way or another to the health and sustainability of the world.” Becker, on the other hand, isn’t so sure. “Climate change is a real-life, realtime test of our intelligence and morality as a species,” he says. “Are we willing to take action now to prevent things that will happen after we are gone? Are we willing, like past generations of Americans, to do the hard work of making the world safer and better for generations yet to come? As far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out.” July 21, 2016 19

Regulation on hemp seeds are similar to other crops, except for one additional area of review: THC content.

JUST ANOTHER PLANT

n five test fields across the state, hemp plants are pushing toward the sun in the nation’s first hemp seed certification program. The global hemp industry is experiencing a 21st century resurgence, and Colorado is becoming a major player, arguably more than any other U.S. state. The program is yet another important step toward mainstreaming hemp agriculture for Colorado, even while federal law still views hemp the same way it does cannabis — as an illegal drug. Like any agricultural seed certification program, the new Colorado program, launched in March, will allow farmers and consumers to grow and purchase hemp seed, with purity and viability vetted and guaranteed by the state. Managed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA), the Colorado Seed Growers Association (CSGA) and Colorado State University, it follows the model of any other seed certification process — almost. There’s one

unique additional requirement: To be certified as industrial hemp, all seeds and the plants they produce must test below 0.3 percent THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the compound in cannabis that creates its controversial “high.” “In every other certified seed, all you care generally is that the person that sold you that certified seed has the rights to those varieties. It protects those plant genetics,” says Duane Sinning, assistant director for the CDA’s Division of Plant Industry and head of the CDA hemp program. With hemp, he says, “We can’t just analyze seeds to know what they’re going to produce. We have to grow mature plants.” Due to a host of environmental factors — like air temperature, water availability and other stressors on the plant — THC levels in hemp can actually increase over the course of its growing season, or lead See HEMP SEED Page 22

to “genetic drift” toward a higher THC plant from one generation to the next. Currently, Colorado’s pioneering hemp farmers have to notify the state about harvest times, pay for state inspectors to test their plants’ THC levels, which peak around 30 days prior to harvest, and hope they’re still in the clear. If not, a farmer will have to destroy his or her entire crop, because it’s no longer legally classifiable as industrial hemp. This variability in THC levels is a major part of why the new seed certification process is so critical. “The difference between a successful crop and a successful farm and one that’s not is a very slim margin,” says Damian Farris, operations director at Colorado Cultivars, a company growing industrial hemp and slated to join the seed certification program in 2017. “With the registration fees, and the testing fees, and the lack of traditional backing such as crop insurance or just help from the bank, it puts a lot of farmers in a position where they’re not willing to do hemp.” With certified seed, the state will effectively be saying that the hard-topredict THC will remain at acceptable levels, and won’t have to be tested throughout the year. Rick Novak, director of Seed Programs at CSU’s Department of Soil and Crop Sciences and another leader of the certification program, says the program is all about creating quality standards for the crop. Just as with soy, corn, wheat or other agricultural crops, seed certification ensures farmers that they are buying seed that has been through a rigorous vetting process. “It doesn’t mean that farmers will have to plant certified seed. They can plant whatever they want,” Novak says. But certified seed will have the added benefit of selling at a considerable premium over non-certified seed, for farmers who will grow, harvest and sell it, not to mention removing the stress over THC variability. “For farmers that want to get into hemp today, every seed they buy is at risk,” Sinning says. Currently, farmers who want to grow industrial hemp can acquire a permit to source certified seed from a foreign country, Italy and Poland being major sources. But the foreign hemp may not grow the same in Colorado because of the vicissitudes of THC levels in different growing environments. “This program adds value to farmers because it reduces their risk,” Sinning says. To join the program, the CDA must first verify that an applicant’s hemp seed’s THC levels are below the threshold. The seed must also be a known cul-

tivar, with verified ownership and origin. If the seed passes muster, it then goes to CSU and the CSGA to be planted at five test locations statewide, covering what authorities determined to be the five different sets of growing conditions industrial hemp seeds may encounter across Colorado. Then the CDA visits the plots and tests THC levels throughout summer and the field inspection process occurs during growing season, especially just prior to flowering (around the end of July to early August), and then again after flowering. The test plots are located far from other hemp fields to prevent any cross-pollination and potential increase of THC levels. The first trial seeds were planted this June, and if all goes well, by harvest time in the fall, Colorado will have its first batch of certified industrial hemp seed, ready to be planted in 2017. “We want to encourage the development of science around this crop,” says Tom Holtzer, deputy director of the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station at CSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences, working alongside Novak on the program. “We’re legitimizing what has been considered illegal.” This very type of seed certification process is already happening in parts of Europe and in Canada. In 2015, Canada licensed more than 84,000 acres for industrial hemp cultivation — with the same 0.3 THC limit — versus around 5,000 acres registered here in Colorado. And in Canada, certified seed is the only seed that can be legally planted. The state program will not only help level the playing field for farmers in Colorado, but it can better position the state to compete in a global hemp market. Sinning says hemp farming is taking hold among more and more mainstream farmers, especially as more traditional crops become less profitable. “One story I’ll always remember is a farmer that called me and said, ‘Duane, I want to know about hemp,’” he says. The farmer had heard it was a promising crop with low water needs. The man continued: “‘My aquifer is drying up. I can’t drill any deeper. I want to pass this farm onto my son.’” Farmers like this one, Sinning believes, ought to have a choice regarding crops they plant on their land. This seed certification program enhances their ability to choose. “It has blossomed faster than any other industry I’ve ever seen in my life,” he says. “To me it’s just another plant. And it’s so easy to help the industry grow. You just have to get out of the way.” Boulder Weekly

QUASI SATELLITE ORBITS EARTH

NASA recently announced that an asteroid close to Earth has been drifting in and out of our orbit for the past 10 years. The manager for the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, Paul Chodas, called the celestial body a “quasi satellite” that is “caught in a little dance with Earth.” Asteroid 2016 HO3, which has a surface area equaling about an acre, orbits much farther out than our actual moon — up to 100 times furWikimedia / CWittle ther due to its 8 degree tilt — but continues to sweep back around and follow Earth in its 365-day revolution around the sun. While technically in the sun’s orbit, the asteroid is in Earth’s gravitational pull, which keeps it from straying too far. Scientists estimate 2016 HO3 will continue to follow this trajectory for centuries to come, Chodas said. Astronomers using an asteroid survey telescope in Hawaii first discovered the asteroid back in April. It went floating around unnoticed until now most likely because of its small size and low luminosity; at its closest to Earth it is still only one-millionth as bright as the dimmest star that can be seen with the naked eye. This isn’t the first case of a mock moon being pulled in by the Earth. There have been nearly 9,000 near-Earth asteroids reported, many of which pass by and a few that actually hit the surface. But there have been two other significant masses that have been dragged into the planet’s orbit temporarily until the moon and sun’s gravitations tweak their paths and eject them from the Earth’s orbit. — Katie Porter

SUMMERS TO GET HOTTER AND HOTTER

New research from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NOAA) shows that at the planet’s current heating rate, in 50 years almost every summer will be hotter than the last. Scientists used weather simulators to mimic the condition of seasons in the future. They found that between 2061 to 2080, there is an 80 percent chance record high temperatures will outdo themselves every year. This information comes right as NOAA’s 2016 State of the Climate report reveals that the past 13 months have been the hottest on record in the U.S. and the longest stretch of top temps since at least 1880. During May alone there were more than 2,100 record highs. Regions that could be Wikimedia Commons/ Instant Vantage largely affected if things go unchanged are North and South America and central parts of Europe, Africa and Asia. Places like Australia and the Nordic countries have a lower chance of constant temperature crescendo, at around 50 percent, the research shows. But it also reveals a way to cut the risk in half — decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Using the summer simulator with differing emission variables, scientists discovered that probability of record temperatures each year drops to an average of 41 percent with emission reductions. In some densely populated areas, however, there isn’t much chance of lowering the risk even with emissions control. Both the Swedish and U.S. National Science foundations funded the study, published in June’s Climatic Change. —Katie Porter

Two Venezuelan-born Coloradans make cycling gear a little more accessible

Again in Castle founded Compel Wear to produce Rock, there was their rack of cycling apparel t-shirts and rider jerseys at with sleek, boutique designs at the finish-line festivities of the affordable prices. Elephant Rock Century. Maybe it was the hip designs, standing out from among the rows of canopies. Maybe it was the charm of the name emblazoned on their tent — Compel — that drew me over. The apparel was different than most cycling wear — fresh and unique, hip and a bit retro, as if crafted by a graphic artist I might “favorite” on Etsy. A change from the boring, aggressive, loud, tacky or actually-really-beautiful-but-crazy-expensive cycling apparel I’ve grown used to seeing.

as far as riding clothing goes. And behind the apparel was another bit of unexpectedness: two Latino coowners. Full disclosure, I’m a white female, who rides regularly alongside a white male. I’m certainly not helping the sport’s seeming lack of ethnic and cultural diversity. Take a look around Boulder and the Front Range any given spring or summer day, and you’re bound to spot dozens, even hundreds of white male cyclists, neck-to-kneecap in Lycra. Same goes for these group rides around which I plan my summer. You’d be forgiven if you formed the thought, “Cycling in Colorado is dominated by white men” (or maybe I’m trying to forgive myself for forming it). There’s something refreshing about meeting two avid Latino Front Range cyclists, who are also carving their niche as cycling apparel entrepreneurs. Compel is the creation of Joel Perez and Javier Badell — two Venezuelan-born Coloradans who met and bonded over bikes at a Front Range party seven years ago. Perez was looking for someone to show him around on his new mountain bike, and Badell was racing for Denver’s COMotion Sports. They were fast riding buddies. Professionally, Badell was thriving as a graphic designer, and Perez was dreaming of something better than his day job, tied to a desk and staring at a computer screen, working for a credit card manufacturer. At some point, they started musing about making their own riding gear. Having wider “I was talking with him representation of bikers one day, and basically said, diversifies ‘Hey Javi, what would you the sport and encourages think about designing cycling more people clothes?’” Perez says. “And he to participate. said, ‘You know I designed the shirt for my cycling team, right?’ So I said, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’” Perez went to every cycling store in town and was pretty disappointed by what he found, “boring stuff, and jerseys with beers on them — horrible designs,” he says. Boutique cycling clothing wasn’t really a thing yet. “Practically no one was doing what I’m doing today. I thought, there’s a real gap here. What if I come up with something with the same quality, a boutique design, and way lower cost?” The two hatched a plan. They’d start with bike-focused t-shirt designs to get their foot in the door with stores. “It’s way easier for you to drop $20 on a tank top than more than 50 bucks on a jersey,” he says. (Which is, by the way, exactly what I’d done at Castle Rock.) Badell created the four initial designs. Indyink in Denver did the screenprinting. Perez handled the sales, on a consignment basis. “I started with my money,” Perez says. “All my money.” That was five years ago, in 2011. By 2013 the duo was making cycling jerseys, tabling at cycling events and selling wholesale. Events are their bread and butter now. Last year they opened their first line of credit and in September, they’re headed to Vegas for their first Interbike — the country’s largest cycling industry expo — and hoping to get noticed. Compel even started its own team this year, spreading the unique brand and its diversity out on Colorado’s roads and trails. “I have six people, and five of them are Latino,” Perez says. “I have a Chilean and muchos Venezuelans.” Badell still designs all of the shirts, jerseys and now riding shorts in the Compel line. The t-shirts and tanks are still screenprinted in Denver. They’d experimented with making their apparel in China — a disaster, Perez says. The quality was good, but communication was a hassle and costs were too high. The cycling gear is now made in Venezuela’s neighbor to the west, Colombia. “Colombia actually has a huge reputation for making quality clothing. When nobody knew what Lycra was, they had it,” Perez says. On his first trip to Colombia, he stayed with friends and spent three weeks visiting small factories, looking at fabrics, making connections. He found the right crafts people in Colombia. They get along well. They speak the same language. They meet face to face often. “That’s the secret,” he says, to gorgeous designs, on quality fabric, at competiBoulder Weekly

tive prices. Very compelling. A customBoth Perez and Badell found their way to the Front ized Compel jersey created Range through roundabout paths. Perez chose to move to specifically for the U.S. after several childhood vacations to Disney Memorial Day. World. His mother is a retired architect, and his father, who has passed, was a lawyer. Perez fell in love with Colorado on a vacation to Keystone, after a year in Mississippi working in restaurants and learning English, and moved to the Centennial State. He married a Colorado-born ESL teacher, and together they have a 3-year-old daughter. He fell in love with cycling here, as a recreational activity in these beautiful mountains. “We see this as a sport that clears our minds,” he says, of himself and Badell. “It takes you to a completely different world when you’re riding.” It’s important to note that cycling is growing among Latinos — probably more than you realize. The League of American Bicyclists reported the fastest growth in U.S. cycling in the Hispanic, African American and Asian communities. A study commissioned by Boulder-based People for Bikes found Hispanics were more likely than any other ethnic group to have ridden a bicycle in the past year, for both transportation and recreation and all manner of social activity. That’s national data; there’s less Colorado-specific data available. But Dan Grunig, director of Bicycle Colorado, says advocacy groups like his are working hard to get better demographic data across the state and across all types of riding. Anecdotally, the organization’s Safe Routes to School program is staffed wholly by Spanish-speaking educators, to serve the thousands of Latino families their program touches. Its flat-tire-changing program holds special sessions just for Latina mothers, who can make sure a flat never sidelines any rider in the family. Another organization, the Front Rangers Cycling Club, runs an outreach program in partnership with the Denver Police Department to identify at-risk youth. Having more Latino representation and role models, it strikes me, can only improve the state of bicycling in Colorado — for Latinos in particular and for our entire community. Especially with a thriving little business, and especially with a name like Compel. “We’re here to motivate you to bike more,” Perez says. “We’re compelling you to ride more.” Boulder Weekly

THROUGH THE LENS

EXHIBIT SHOWS FIRST IMAGES OF THE WEST FROM 150 YEARS AGO

BY KATIE PORTER

“Ancient Ruins in the Cañon de Chelle,” Timothy H. O’Sullivan (1873)

n the summer of 1871, America was celebrating its 95th birthday and the recent acquisition of more territories due to the MexicanAmerican War. Manifest destiny fever was high in the new nation, fueled by rampant coverage about the possibilities of these vast lands. Millions viewed and ogled over the images of jagged geological formations, rivers snaking through towering canyons and endless dust horizons. But only a select few were actually out in the Southwest experiencing it. Timothy H. O’Sullivan was one of those lucky men, although it may have not seemed like luck, since the adventure wasn’t easy. He traveled with his camera and his portable darkroom for hundreds of miles with some of the region’s first explorers. While the commanders closely graphed and mapped the topography, O’Sullivan became the

eyes of the group, employed by the government to photographically document it. The result of his work is a series of prints that were some of the first to ever give a glimpse of the West to those back on the inhabited coast. A few dozen of the photos, along with those of fellow photographer William H. Bell, taken over four summers during the informally coined Wheeler Survey, are on display through January in On Desert Time at the Denver Art Museum (DAM). As the quintessential pioneers of Western photography, there was no guidebook or guidelines on how to do it.

DESERT TIME from Page 29 “Grand Cañon,” William H. Bell (1872)

in 1872, found that taking pictures in the harsh, barren space with no prior depiction or narration was unlike any project they had done before. “They had no precedent so there was a degree of surprise and difficulty,” says Eric Paddock, curator of photography at the DAM. “These are artists trying to figure out how to depict lands in climates that are completely foreign to them. They were trained in the Northeast so all the traditions and techniques they were taught and accustomed to favored lush landscapes. They were really mentally and visually unprepared for this.” Which is not to say they weren’t professionally prepared. Both photographers apprenticed at studios in New England before moving onto military-related photography jobs. O’Sullivan took nowfamous photos of the grizzly and harrowingly still aftermath of the Civil War battlefields; Bell was commissioned by the Army Medical Museum to take portraits and photograph wounds. While completely unrelated to the landscape work from On Desert Time, Paddock thinks those experiences unconventionally prepared them for what they were up against out West. “If you spend three years taking photos of dead bodies, graves and war, there’s got to be something calming about

coming to vast emptiness and unspoiled possibility,” he says. While both captured the same region and had the same blank canvas to work with, their finished products turned out differently both visually and emotionally. O’Sullivan’s photos are encompassing, usually wide expansive shots of an entire scene. Bell’s are often zoomed in and skewed, with pointed illustrative details. “With O’Sullivan, you look at the parts: the sky, the rocks, the water, and you mentally assemble where you are. Bell does the opposite, taking the structure of those elements and trying to make a puzzle,” Paddock says. It’s a juxtaposition that works well within the exhibit. Both approaches are artistic in the compositional techniques used to achieve the desired essence. These men took in the unfamiliar setting in creatively contrasting ways and each achieved a depth and focus that worked for what they were trying to capture. “These [approaches] really show the differences in attitudes toward the environment,” he says. “It’s intriguing.” A staple of O’Sullivan’s work is a cloudless sky that holds a sharp contrast to the etched rocks of the canyons. Since the materials used during the camera exposure were sensitive to blue color, Paddock says, the skies were most likely faded and O’Sullivan manipulated the negatives to make them comBoulder Weekly

pletely blank. Shots with rivers or lakes have a similar smoothing effect, with the water almost looking like a shiny sheet of brass. Dramatic and scattered lighting in Bell’s work give the photos a cluttered and disorienting feeling. The jolted perspective makes the piece seem lifelike and immediate, “like you could fall right into the frame,” Paddock says. “It reminds me of Frederic Church’s ‘Niagra’ [painting].” In the gallery, Bell’s shots are arranged to provide an interactive feel. Each picture is presented in the order he took them, lurching from one exposure point to the next, like a flipbook ostensibly climbing through the cavern crevices. But actually capturing these rocky, dry surfaces wasn’t an easy task. The technique they used, called dry plating, is an arduous process complicated by the sweltering desert climate. There was less than a five-minute window to coat a glass plate with collodion, place it into the camera frame, adjust the aperture, expose it for a halfsecond and then hurry to develop the negative. O’Sullivan had to make do with a do-it-yourself darkroom in a converted army ambulance. It was an obvious challenge from the comforts of a studio, as he was constantly lugging 100-plus pounds of equipment around to get the perfect shot. By the end of the excursions the men had a couple hundred negatives. Some of the plates were ruined by dust or lost in transit. Those that made it back to Washington, D.C. were printed on albumen and widely dispersed as a sort of propaganda tool. “These were highly influential at the time,” Paddock says. “They spoke to people’s curiosity of expansion and travel.” All major media ran weekly stories featuring engravings of O’Sullivan and Bell’s pictures, and some of their best shots were used in Congress as an ode to the survey’s progress when asking for an annual budget for the next summers. After the prints circulated, some critics credited the grandeur solely to the nature itself, calling the photographic skill involved “unromantic” and uncreative. Paddock says those opinions, usually directed toward O’Sullivan’s more composed and even work, make him laugh because they were written by city folk who had no concept of the environment’s context. “The last 25 years there’s been an ongoing debate in the art world on how to understand and interpret his work,” he explains. “I see the work of someone who is learning to love the landscape as he goes. [These pictures] are about Boulder Weekly

emptiness. Places like these, he is seeking a kind of silence, finding new energy and peace.” Now, as people snake through the collection of photos, they take in O’Sullivan’s broad scenes and Bell’s specified images, appreciating a blackand-white take on lands we are familiar with. But at the time, these were the blueprints of a place that everyone talked about but few would ever see firsthand.

With a bucket as a hat and a mask covering his face, Buckethead’s appearance has remained static (save for a change of bucket from time to time) since the start of his career in the late ’80s. But his prowess on guitar continues to overshadow any need to know the face behind the mask.

WE KNOW WHY THE FLIGHTLESS BIRD SHREDS

Still evading the press, Buckethead continues to fascinate BY DAVE KIRBY

amously, or infamously, the story goes that Buckethead didn’t pass an informal audition to be Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist at Ozzfest some years ago. Not because he couldn’t manage Randy Rhoads’ blistering “Crazy Train” riffing, since Buckethead could probably play that in a wrist cast, but because he wouldn’t take off his bucket and his mask, and didn’t really like being called by his given name, which is Brian. (Which is also Marilyn Manson’s given name, so maybe there’s something going on there.) Apart from the troubling revelation that Ozzy expects all his players to be, y’know, straight-up kinds of fellows (or at least not visually upstaging his Ozness), it also speaks to the chubby metal relic’s utter cluelessness about Buckethead, whose presence onstage would have certainly added more

It almost did for Guns ‘N Roses at the beginning of the aughts, when Buckethead took over Slash’s seat for much of Chinese Democracy and a handful of live shows before the tide of GNR drama and lawsuits lofted the band into regrettably temporary oblivion. Plenty of others had no such problem with the bucket, as the guy has collaborations from Bill Laswell to Les Claypool and the late Bernie Worrell, fusion crushers like Jonas Hellborg and Mike Shrieve, respected producers like Travis Dickerson, Bassnectar, Bootsy Collins, and others on his resume.

BUCKETHEAD from Page 33

We know via the scattered and meager samizdat of extra-character interviews that Buckethead has done (none recently that we could find) that the kid who grew up to be this nuclear-burn guitarist and nunchuking maestro grew up deeply marinated in amusement park and horror movie culture, obsessed with basketball stars and the mythos of Michael Jackson and didn’t really go outside and play very much. He practiced guitar, by himself, in his SoCal suburban bedroom... a lot. (He also took some lessons from Racer X guitarist Paul Gilbert, the California shredder par excellence, and Gilbert’s influence, as well as the late Shawn Lane’s, remains a palpable component to Buckethead’s metallurgic precision assaults.) The bucket and mask idea was a bit of a fluke, something he dreamed up after watching one of those dreadful Halloween sequels. That was almost 30 years ago, when the principal was in his late teens and already a good enough player not to need a stage or costuming gimmick. Around the bucket (originally and periodically since, depending on the trademark lawyers’ whims, a KFC bucket) grew a bizarre and not entirely coherON THE BILL: ent mythology involving chickens and robots through Buckethead. 7:30 p.m. which he communicated to his online fans and the Saturday, July 23, luckless music journalists assigned to try to interview Boulder Theater, 2032 14th St., 303-786-7030. him.

We’re pretty sure he’s been to Disneyland more than once in that time (his website says he’s been there more than 500 times, and that was written years ago). But he’s been busy. In 2011, he began his “pikes” series of releases, 30-minute EPs of instrumental prog metal, doom metal, speed metal, zombie ballads... whatever... usually with bass and drum accompaniment (uncredited, but presumably all performed by Buckethead himself.) As of February this year, he had released 219 of them. That’s not a typo. For a period in 2015, he was releasing one a day. A traditional musician’s manager would throw himself out a window if his client did that. There really is such a thing as giving your fans too much. Chickens and robots and abandoned amusement parks in post-apocalypse sunsets may be the cinescape that Buckethead sees behind that mask, and talking in obtuse pop culture allegory may be the words he cannot avoid throwing up on his website, but the guy speaks in music. And he cites Michael Jackson as one of his prime influences. In some ways, Buckethead’s image is the mirror opposite of the image struggles that MJ wrestled with in his post-superstar years. Where Michael Jackson kept re-imaging his face, Buckethead’s has been fixed, the blank and expressionless kabuki mark gazing somewhere over the crowd. Guitarists are supposed to grimace when they reach for a note — does Buckethead grimace? Probably. There’s a guy in there, the living embodiment of the vindicated nerdobsessive shut-in. He once recorded a song called “I Love My Parents,” a tender and achingly gorgeous ballad, one of several he dedicated to them. It would take less than a hardened cynic to openly say, “Yo Brian, you’re too damned good a guitarist and creative soul to remain imprisoned in this persona. You’re 47 now, a guitarist of unimpeachable repute, a rare talent. An adult. This is why you practiced. This is what all those comic books and music theory drills and slasher flicks led you to. You’re here now. The world can’t break you or damage you anymore.” It’s OK for the rest of us to see Brian Patrick Carroll playing the shit of that white Les Paul. But it’ll never happen. All those images — the slasher villain lunging from the closet, the rumble of a passing roller coaster car, the crusted crumbs of extra-crispy recipe bouncing off a KFC napkin, the heroes and anti-heroes of pop-culture redemption, watching the boats with his dad — all reside behind those blackened eyes, the blood red killswitch on that customized Les Paul glowing like some spacecraft auto-destruct switch under freakishly long fingers. It’s Buckethead’s world, and we only get to visit it once in a while. Horror and virtuosity, with a biscuit and a side, at a special price. Boulder Weekly

American Life in Poetry Column 588: There’s an old joke about a truck with a 5-ton license and 10 tons of canaries on board. The driver had to keep getting out and banging his fist on the side to keep half the canaries flying. Here Jane Mead, who lives in northern California, gives us another truck full of birds. This keenly observed poem appeared in The Autumn House Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry, 2015. Mead’s most recent book is Money Money Money/ Water Water Water(Alice James Books, 2013). — Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate What struck me first was their panic. Some were pulled by the wind from moving to the ends of the stacked cages, some had their heads blown through the bars — and could not get them in again. Some hung there like that — dead — their own feathers blowing, clotting in their faces. Then I saw the one that made me slow some — I lingered there beside her for five miles. She had pushed her head through the space between bars — to get a better view. She had the look of a dog in the back of a pickup, that eager look of a dog who knows she’s being taken along. She craned her neck. She looked around, watched me, then strained to see over the car — strained to see what happened beyond. That is the chicken I want to be.

MONDAY JULY 25 8PM

Local writer Lucy Simpson releases new book of poems ‘Matchstick & Bramble’ by Sarah Haas

oung women, be wary of windows as you sit shuttling needle through a full white moon of cloth. ...”

So opens the poem “The Fall” in a new collection of poetry by Longmont writer Lucy Simpson, Matchstick & Bramble. Simpson writes about windows because they are commonplace in her dreams, where she imagines they symbolize the isolation of looking out and then passing through, like the transition from sleep to the waking state. The glass pane is a see-through barrier, showing what is beyond and yet standing in between, impassable. If eyes are the window to the soul, the role of the window is the lens through which one both sees and is perceived. Her poetry is built on elements of fairy tale intermingled with the commonplace and domestic. After all, Simpson says, reality exists somewhere in between. We tend to underplay the role of stories in our lives, as if they exist merely to entertain, when they are actually meant to connect, guide and instruct.

what cannot be known. Simpson’s poetry describes how women are shaped in this world. The result is an intimate and characteristically feminine tone touching on fertility, intuition and women’s history of abuse and oppression. “... The light through the lattice falling as rain is not the light. It deceives — It will take you — Rapture — nine months later a baby comes. You will find yourself on the sea in a chest locked fast by your father’s hand. ...” One of Simpson’s inspirations was the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911.

was responsible for the deaths of 123 women and 23 men, victims of the fire itself or from leaping out of the burning building. “It’s what happens to women all throughout our society and in different societies around the world — women are abused or mistreated,” Simpson says of her poem “The Fall.” “This was sort of an angry poem because it’s still going on. Every time I read the news I hear about it.” While she reacts to the persistent assault against women, Simpson isn’t just writing about abuse. Her poetry contains violent qualities of femininity itself — the penetration of sex, the pain of childbirth, the cage that is a woman’s place in the world. Inherent in women’s experience is a familiarity with the transmutation of the lovely into grotesque.

“... You may try wearing your curtains, closed around you, but the swish of your robes, your toes, could also be provocation and your soft shell will be broken, your meat plucked and chewed. You will be blamed for this. Men will build a monument of stones over you, or you may simply turn to a pillar of salt ...”

He will crack you like a coconut; drink you dry The fall is a long way down. ...” Throughout Matchstick & Bramble, Simpson frequently employs imagery from the Bible, but she is not religious.

She invokes Adam and Eve’s fall from Lucy Simpson, author of Matchstick & Bramble, lives in Longmont with her husband and two children.

In admitting the inevitability of loss, Simpson finds the real located in symbolism of the domestic and everyday — in table salt and windows and cloth. Her poems may be fantastical, but they find their footing in a total lack of abstraction. They touch on a moment of grace that embraces the ceremony of story that connects us to the world. “The Fall” becomes nothing more than a new beginning, a dissolution into what comes next, a leap of faith in which both death and the unknown are accepted parts of living. Stories can bind us as they describe our place in the world, acting as tools to pass on social positioning, but they can also free us as we tell them, admitting the chains that bind us can be broken. “... Beware windows, of jumping out of them, a fire screaming at your back. Choose the widest window Reach a hand to your sister; cross the threshold, falling as a bride in white muslin.”

Hear it again for the first time

ON THE BILL: Beautiful — The Carole King Musical. Denver Performing Arts Complex, 1345 Champa St., Denver, 720-865-4239. Through July 31.

‘Beautiful’ goes beyond the jukebox musical by Amanda Moutinho

ingers are beautiful like Diana Ross or Petula Clark. I’m just a normal person,” says Carole King in Beautiful to guitarist Nick. “Who wants to hear a normal person sing?” “Other normal people?” Nick replies. And so captures the essence of Beautiful — The Carole King Story, now playing at the Buell Theater through July 31. We meet King in 1958 as a modest 16-year-old in Brooklyn who has big dreams of composing pop songs. She admires the people who write songs that connect with their audience, and she wants to do the same. Filled with talent, King quickly finds success. Beautiful first hit Broadway in 2014 and was nominated for seven Tonys, taking home two — for best sound design and best actress. The musical follows King’s career and turbulent marriage to collaborator Gerry Goffin and the couple’s friendship and rivalry with fellow songwriting team Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. The show is chock full of the best of King’s hits. Jukebox musicals are a safe bet on Broadway — Mamma Mia and Rock of Ages lure people with their recognizable hits, but à la Jersey Boys, Beautiful attempts to tell the story behind the music. We see the evolution of “Will He Love Still Love Me Tomorrow” from simple piano arrangement to a melodic chart topper sung by The Shirelles. But that’s only one of many songs from King and Goffin, not to mention Weil and Mann — the brains behind the likes of “Walking in the Rain” and “You Lost That Loving Feeling.” The first act is stacked with those classic toe-tapping songs in a constant tug of war between the com-

ing a greatest hits concert, not a musical. Almost like a reflex, the audience would clap after just a few notes of a song as if to say, “Oh! We know this one! We love Abby Mueller excels as the legendary Carole King in Beautiful. this one!” — a definite oddity in the theater, where applause waits for the end petitive writing pairs — when Weil and Mann drop no matter how beloved the showtune. “On Broadway,” King and Gerry come back with But Beautiful does manage to take it a step fur“The Locomotion.” But while the fast revolving door ther than a greatest hits compilation.

In this emotionally-charged show, violin- Bethanie Hines ist Daniel Bernard Roumain and poet Marc Bamuthl Joseph come together for a musical commentary on race. Joseph’s spoken word over Roumain’s string work creates an energetic narrative about immigrant culture. Put on in part by activism project One Action Arts + Immigration, these two talented men, known performers and civil rights supporters, have found a creative way to merge their passions to magnify social issues, via alternative performance. The concert will be followed by a talk and community discussion with poet Norma Johnson. Tickets are $32. —Katie Porter

A bluegrass group from Dublin will fill Gold Hill’s stage this week. Longtime musical siblings Dave and Louise Holden are joined by a bassist and fiddle and banjo players to give the group their specific sound: folksy Americana with Irish roots. Their sophomore album White Wave Chapel has been praised in international media for being a cheerful album that makes you want to sing along. Louise’s rich alto vocals bring harmonious storytelling to the twang of the band’s instruments for an vivacious performance. Tickets start at $12. —Katie Porter

screen A reboot with cause by  Ryan Syrek

adly, but as expected, news that writer/director Paul Feig’s reboot of Ghostbusters would feature four women in the lead roles was met by the kind of childish misogyny that has come to exemplify the worst of the internet. Fragile manbabies cursed with boundless insecurity and access to Wi-Fi have made hating this movie suffice for their lack of personality, intentionally tanking the film’s IMDB rating (before it was even released) and crusading in comments sections, which have long been sanctuaries for the cowardly and hate-filled. Ultimately, the best rejoinder to this legion of douchebros is the one Feig delivered: Ghostbusters is pretty damn good. Cue the sad trombone for Men’s Rights Activists. Gone are the ghost blow jobs and dancing slime from the original films. Feig’s reboot begins in a New York City whose citizens know neither that the paranormal is popping off nor who to call when it does. Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), a fusty Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Leslie academic, is up for tenJones throw on the proton packs and get to bustin’ ghosts in this frequently hilarious, always enjoyable relaunch of ure at her prestigious the once-beloved franchise. institution when she discovers her old friend, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), has released an embarrassing book the pair cowrote about scientific evidence regarding ghosts. Erin storms into Abby’s office to confront her, only to get strong-armed by Abby and her new partner, Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), into going to a haunted mansion. After seeing an honest-to-goodness, slime-barfing lady ghost, the trio agree to work together and are soon joined by Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones), a history buff who forces her way onto the team. The squad hires a muscular moron named Kevin (Chris Hemsworth) to man the phones and soon find themselves confronting a dangerous breach between the lands of the living and dead. Proton packs are engaged, Slimer shows up to throw hot dogs down his throat hallway and an epic battle against an oversized white dude not named Donald Trump ensues. The four leads are magnificent. McCarthy reins in her increasingly all-used-up, over-the-top comedic bravado. Wiig is likeable and approachable as the film’s emotional core. Jones’ brash and savage style is deployed strategically to great effect. And McKinnon steals the show as a label-defying madwoman with the perfect blend of oddness and badassery. Sure, the climax is a big paint-by-numbers CGI cluster, but by then, the actresses have instilled such good will, it’s easy to let go and have fun. The film’s shortcomings are predictable and understandable. It’s actually too beholden to the original, with no less than five cameos and scores of dialogue callbacks. The villain, although appropriately a loner dude willing to destroy everything because the world doesn’t make him feel like a special boy, is wholly forgettable and boring. Still, this is a film with a laser-guided purpose: establishing a new status quo and endearing us to our new ‘busters. What Feig and company did by inverting gender expectations was create a reboot with intent and purpose, bringing a wholly new vibrancy and dynamic to expected events. Here’s hoping for a long-running series with this group, much to the chagrin of blubbering women-haters typing one-handed on Reddit. This review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

film Never gonna be president now Documenting the fall of Anthony ‘Weiner’ by Michael J. Casey

fitting fable: Scorpion asked Frog if he ON THE BILL: would carry him across the river. Frog, Weiner. July 27–30, The Boedecker Theater, 2590 afraid of being stung by Scorpion, hesiWalnut St., Boulder, 303tated. 440-7825, thedairy.org. “Never fear,” Scorpion said. “For if I stung you, we would both drown.” This placated Frog, and Scorpion climbed on his back for transport across the river. But, halfway through their journey, Scorpion stung Frog. “You idiot!” Frog cried as paralysis overtook his body. “Now we’ll both drown. Why did you do that?” “It’s my nature,” Scorpion replied as he and Frog sank. The fact that former New York representative and one-time NYC mayoral candidate holds this story close to his heart — even offering it as an explanation for his failure — says a lot about Anthony Weiner. He knows what it’s like to be that frog, and he accepts it. If all the world’s a stage and we are merely players, how can you be mad at someone for simply playing their role? That is the crux behind Weiner, the all-access documentary about the congressman’s rise and resignation due to a sexting scandal and his subsequent mayoral campaign, also derailed by a sexting scandal. Directed by Josh Kriegman — Weiner’s former chief of staff — and Elyse Steinberg, the documentary is a Weiner follows the shortcomings of its namesake. peek behind the curtain of Weiner’s political career; a career that, if not for a couple of lewd photos, surely would have amounted to one of significance. Known for his ferocity and gift with rhetoric, Weiner was wildly popular with his constituency as he slammed his colleagues for ludicrous hypocrisy and disgraceful wishy-washy behavior. He married Huma Abedin — top advisor to Hillary Clinton — and was placed on the fast track to the White House. That was, until the sexting scandal broke. A few unsavory, but not entirely pornographic, pictures cast enough doubt on the seven-term congressman’s validity and in 2011, Weiner resigned. Two years later, he came back, with Abedin by his side, and ran for mayor of New York City. And on July 23, 2013, a mere two months after announcing his candidacy, more Weiner sex chats were leaked to the press and America laughed at the idea of Carlos Danger — Weiner’s alleged sexting pseudonym — for mayor of NYC. Weiner is a picture of a man against a system that does not want him to succeed. Weiner wanted to be a public figure, and for his sins we made him one. The film portrays Weiner as never having harassed an employee, male or female. It claims he didn’t commit adultery or break up a home. In fact, it points out he never even laid a hand on the women he sent photos to. So according to the filmmakers, in the realm of political sex scandals, Weiner’s sexting was positively adolescent. But as most of us can still recall, Weiner was accused of sending unsolicited sexting photos to several women who did not ask for them and who had no idea that he was capable of such an act. Those women were victims to be sure, even though the filmmakers were more concerned with how the scandal was portrayed in the public discourse, rather than what Weiner did. Weiner is a nuanced man in a 72-point Bodoni world, and his actions must be reduced — that is the nature of mainstream political journalism. The timing for Weiner’s release couldn’t be better. Here is the perfect example of what happens when all players, including the voters, behave according to their nature. If only someone stopped playing that game, broke free of the rules and, just once, made it across that river without drowning. Wouldn’t that be nice? Boulder Weekly

Nostalgia and scallion pancakes Lee Yuan Chinese Cuisine is a portal to my childhood by Caitlin Rockett

was raised in the South, which meant every Sunday my mother would force me into a petty coat, stockings, dress and patent leather Mary Janes and ship me off to church with my grandmother and grandfather for two and a half hours of cold folding chairs and complicated messages about the future of my soul. Making it through Sunday school was pretty easy with my friends around, but the sermon was the real gauntlet of hunger and boredom. My stomach would grumble as I sat in that hard pew, sometimes so loudly my grandmother would give me a mint from her purse. The mint didn’t soothe my hunger so much as it whet my appetite for what I knew was coming: Chinese food. We almost always went to the same Chinese restaurant after church, and Chinese food still reminds me of those Sundays when my grandfather was alive. It only took my grandparents shaking every hand in the congregation before we could finally make our way to our favorite Chinese joint for their Sunday buffet. My grandparents had become good friends with the woman who owned the restaurant over the years, and we were always greeted warmly. (Those hugs always felt like a congratulations for making it through church.) I knew there would be lots of things to enjoy, but I always looked forward to scallion pancakes. As a kid I couldn’t quite say why I liked scallion pancakes so much, but as an adult I can say their appeal lies in their simplicity. Savory and chewy, warm

and filling — what’s not to like? Lee Yuan Chinese Cuisine reminds me a lot of those Sundays after church, with its red and gold Chinese zodiac place mats, china lined with blue flowers and a scattered about collection of hand-painted glass horses. Even the inconspicuous location in a strip mall reminds me of the restaurant back home. It gives me such nostalgia I can almost hear my grandfather laughing as my grandmother tells him he can’t have a piece of cheesecake. There’s a lunch buffet at Lee Yuan, but I prefer to go at dinner time. The small space feels cozy without feeling cramped, and everyone gets a pot of hot black tea. Don’t expect to rush through dinner at Lee Yuan, because they cook to order. When I ordered up some scallion pancakes during my recent trip, we were told quite frankly that it would take some time. But if 15 minutes is too long to wait for the perfectly flaky pancakes that were delivered, you should consider some meditation classes. I’ve never made scallion pancakes at home, but from what I understand they take a fair amount of patience. You have to chill the dough after you make

it, then roll it and flatten it repeatedly, brushing it with oil and sprinkling in scallions as you go before finally frying it up to perfection and serving it. The end result at Lee Yuan is a golden brown pancake with flaky layers reminiscent of phyllo dough. The scallion flavor is mild and a soy dipping sauce adds a bit of salty depth to the bready treat. For me, Lee Yuan is a portal back to my childhood, a way for me to remember times when my whole family was around to enjoy some delicious scallion pancakes... and maybe a piece of cheesecake Lee Yuan Chinese Cuisine. 4800 for my grandad. Baseline Road, A110, Boulder, 303-494-4210.

nibbles BY JOHN LEHNDORFF

Off-road nibbling Flavor springs up when you exit I-25 along the southern Front Range

uring summer’s peak travel season I get variations on the same question from friends and sometimes strangers that go something like this: “We’re driving south on I-25 to New Mexico. Is there any place to eat down there that’s worth get-

ting off the interstate?” I don’t blame them. I made the same assumptions about the cuisine “down there” until assignments from various magazines led me to some taste gems of very different sorts in Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and Pueblo. Great pizza, doughnuts, green chile, spätzle and hot malasadas make these destinations worthy diversions from the great concrete ribbon and the chain eateries nearby.

COLORADO SPRINGS POOR RICHARD’S If you are looking for progressives in the Springs you’re most likely to run into them at this amazing block-long business that includes a cool toy store (with a large puppet selection) and a book and gift shop. The coffee bar and restaurant dishes reputable hand-tossed whole wheat pizza topped with a sauce of fresh tomatoes and local veggies. There are lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options and coconut cream pie. 324 1/2 N. Tejon St., Colorado Springs, 719-578-5549, poorrichardsdowntown.com AMY’S DONUTS I like Amy’s Donuts because you choose the filling you want inside your doughnut. The shop has a ridiculous number of varieties on hand including German Chocolate, Apple Spice Cake, Almond see NIBBLES Page 54

Banana Caramel and my favorite, Zesty Lemon. Amy’s in the Springs serves the rarely seen malasadas — hot chewy Portuguese donuts, 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. 2704 E. Fountain Blvd., Colorado Springs, 719-6320512; 1303 S. Pueblo Blvd., Pueblo, 719-564-7592, amysdonuts.com. Pueblo chilies are mixed into the burgers and added as a topping at Bingo Burger in Pueblo.

THE CORNER CAFÉ Pie transcends politics which is why

you’ll see people of all belief systems at this straightforward breakfast and lunch café with a big plus — pies: Classic Banana Cream, Apple Raisin, Buttermilk Pecan and Sweet Bing Cherry pies and the very tall Lemon Meringue. Eat it Monday through Friday because the Café is shuttered on the weekend. 7 E. Vermijo Ave., Colorado Springs, 719-520-1843, cornercafecs.com. EDLEWEISS GERMAN RESTAURANT Sipping a smoked German beer in a two-liter glass boot on the patio of this unexpected Alpine oasis is an experience worth putting on your bucket list. Edeleweiss’ roster boats fine Wienerschnitzel and sauerbraten but I’d settle for a yeasted brötchen roll, a bowl of spätzle dumplings in Swiss cheese sauce and an apple strudel under a whipped cream crown. 34 E. Ramona Ave., Colorado Springs, 719-633-2220, edelweissrest.com.

STIR CAFÉ If you are feeling more hipster than down-home you’ll be at ease at Stir, a coffee place set inside an old car garage with equally old furniture. The espresso drinks are first class and can be paired with well-made breakfast burritos, pastries and topnotch pie with house-made ice cream à la mode. 2330 N. Wasatch Ave., Colorado Springs, 719-418-6188, stircoffeeshop.com.

PUEBLO EAST COAST PIZZA AND BAKERY They had me at biscotti and pignoli cookies... but this non-fancy ItalianAmerican joint also delivers big foldable slices of pizza and a bona fide eggplant Parmesan grinder — fully toasted, neatly sauced, loaded with melted mozzarella. 1638 W. U.S. Highway 50, Pueblo, 719583-9000, eastcoastpizzapueblo.com GRAY’S COORS TAVERN A pilgrimage must be made to this historic watering hole for a cold one and a taste of Pueblo’s iconic comfort food classic invented here decades ago. The Slopper consists of two open-face cheeseburgers in an oval bowl inundated with pork green chile and topped with onions, grated cheese and/or saltines. Note: This is a hipster-free bar, not a brewpub concept. 515 W. Fourth St., Pueblo, 719-544-0455. see NIBBLES Page 56

With wine, endless treasures await By David White

n January 12, 2007, one of the world’s greatest violin players set up shop in the L’Enfant Plaza Metro station in Washington, D.C. Wearing jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and a Washington Nationals baseball cap, 39-yearold Joshua Bell pulled out his instrument — handcrafted by Antonio Stradivari in 1713 and purchased in 2003 for nearly $4 million — and played six classical songs for rush-hour commuters. The setting of Bell’s 43-minute performance was unusual, to say the least. By the time he was 14, the violin prodigy was soloing for the Philadelphia Orchestra. At 17, he made his first appearance at Carnegie Hall. He has performed as a guest soloist for the New York Philharmonic three times and currently directs one of the world’s mostcelebrated chamber orchestras. More than 1,000 commuters came within earshot of Bell that morning and witnessed a world-class performance from a musical genius on one of the finest instruments ever crafted. Yet among the mass of hurried metro riders, Bell went almost unnoticed. What does any of this have to do with wine? Quite a bit. Giant corporate producers dominate the wine market. In the United States, three brands — E. & J. Gallo, the Wine Group, and Constellation — produced 172.3 million cases of wine in 2012, accounting for roughly 50 percent of wine sales. Yet most of the world’s finest wines are produced by small, unassuming and largely ignored grape growers. Unlike the big brands, these vignerons produce wines that reflect the regions and vineyards in which the grapes are grown. Their wines have a distinctiveness that can’t be matched by mass-produced alternatives. In other words, wine consumers are surrounded by Joshua-Bell level brilliance. Serious wine enthusiasts are finally paying attention. To some extent, the relative anonymity of most wine producers is understandable. The United States is home to more than 8,000 wineries. Three in four produce fewer than 5,000 cases per year; only about 50 produce more than 500,000 cases. Other wine-producing countries boast similar ratios; the back roads of Italy, France and Spain are full of passionate vignerons who make miniscule amounts of compelling, soulful wine. And just as Bell can be readily ignored once separated from a “brand-name” institution like Carnegie Hall, it’s easy to overlook the excellence of these small producers. They don’t have the kind of status that comes with a recognizable brand name like, say, Veuve Clicquot, which produces more than 1 million cases of Champagne annually. This lack of name recognition has enabled big producers to effectively monopolize the wine market, especially in the United States. But that’s changing. One man who helped launch this shift is Kermit Lynch, a writer and musician who started to recognize these growers more than three decades ago. With a $5,000 loan from his girlfriend, he opened an eponymous wine shop in northern California in 1972. He soon became a distributor and importer as well, visiting Europe regularly to look for the wine equivalent of Stradivarius-wielding fiddlers in a metro station. And he began educating consumers about the virtues of traditional wines — artisanal projects, produced with minimal intervention, that express a sense of place. Lynch inspired many imitators. These days, if you walk into any good wine retailer and watch how the geekiest consumers shop, you’ll undoubtedly see people flipping bottles over to check the import label. These savvy shoppers know that in addition to Lynch, they can rely on importers like Neal Rosenthal, Louis/Dressner, Terry Theise, and Peter Weygandt to bring in good wine. The tastes of these small importers are, without question, ascendant. Sommeliers and boutique retailers, too, are beginning to eschew what Lynch calls “pop” wines — heavy, oak-soaked concoctions designed for mass appeal. At restaurants and on retail shelves across the country, consumers can now find interesting, small-production wines more easily than ever before. And America’s booming wine tourism industry is proof that consumers appreciate wine beyond Sutter Home and Barefoot. Consumers are finally recognizing that the subway-station musician they’ve long ignored may be a treasure waiting to be discovered. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: A directory published by the U.S.

Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers and stuntpersons. Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon? An amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve?

Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars. Among the filmmakers who’ve named him as an inspirational influence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare. At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink. Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no. Even a genius can’t be expected to create non-stop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.

I guess: You could spank the Devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor shock value, in which case the Devil might leave you in peace for a short time. Here’s what I suggest instead: Work at raising your discernment so high that you can quickly identify, in the future, which temptations will deliver you unto evil confusion, and which will feed and hone your most noble desires.

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: After a cool, dry period, you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase. The reasonable explanations that generated so much apathy are about to get turned inside-out. The seemingly good excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be exposed as impractical lies. Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion?

But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not — just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear. Don’t let anything tamp it down!

Dear Dan: I’m a gay male in my late 20s. My little sister’s husband, “Peter,” is my age and bisexual. I’m not one of those gay men who think bi guys don’t exist. And I know bi guys are just as capable of being monogamous as other guys — which isn’t that comforting when you think about it — and I don’t have a problem with my bi brother-in-law being bi. More importantly, my sister doesn’t have a problem with it. But whenever I’m © LaRae Lobdell alone with Peter, however briefly, he starts telling me how much he misses dick. He wants to hear about the last “really great dick” I sucked and tells me he misses sucking dick. I smile and say dick is great for sure and make a halfhearted attempt to change the subject. The last time it happened was after my grandfather’s funeral. I’m pretty sure Peter wants to suck my dick, and I’m tempted to let him. I know it’s a bad idea, but Peter is hot. This is torture. What should I do? — Boy Is Lost

Boulder Weekly

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

Dear BIL: Stop smiling, work harder to change the subject, avoid being alone in a room with Peter, and repeat after me: “My sister might be able to forgive her husband for sucking a dick, but she’ll never forgive him — or me — if that dick is mine.” Dear Dan: I’m a gay guy in an open relationship and I’m on Recon, a gay hookup/ dating site for guys into leather/fetish/BDSM. My partner, who isn’t kinky, knows I have a profile there and it’s not a problem. Today I got a message from a new guy, and when we exchanged face pics, I saw that he looks exactly like “Peter,” my boyfriend’s best friend’s fiancé! I asked him if that was him, and he stopped responding. What should I do? My BF doesn’t want to

Love

know much about my extracurricular activities, but this could make our next double date extremely awkward. We see this other couple a fair amount, and even though I think this guy is good-looking, I would never sleep with him because of the social situation. On the other hand, if I’m wrong and they’re not the same person, bringing it up with them could make things awkward, especially since I’m pretty secretive about my kinks and have zero desire to discuss them with my BF’s friends. — Requires Educated Consultation On Next Step P.S. Additional information that might be relevant: Our engaged friends aren’t having sex, we’ve been told, and they’re making no moves toward actually planning a wedding. Dear RECONS: Going silent after you asked, “Is that you, Peter?!?” is a pretty good indication that it was indeed Peter you were talking to. But while you

know Peter was on Recon, RECONS, you don’t know exactly what he was doing there. Maybe he goes online to fantasize, swap pics and jack off. Maybe Peter is on Recon with his fiancé’s blessing, just as you’re on Recon with your partner’s blessing (but, like you, he’s not comfortable discussing his kinks with friends). Maybe their relationship/engagement is on the verge of collapse and your partner’s best friend’s fiancé is trying to line up a new relationship before pulling the plug on the one he’s in now. Since you don’t know what’s going on in their relationship, RECONS, keep your mouth shut and refrain from making assumptions or judgments. And the next time you have to interact with Peter and his fiancé socially, slap a smile on your face and talk about the weather, the election, the estrogen-enhanced, better-thanthe-original Ghostbusters reboot, the new season of Difficult People, Zika, the Olympics — basically anything other than Recon, kinks and wedding plans.

Greta Gaines, owner of skin-care company The Hempery and long-time activist in the hemp industry, speaks often about the historical relevance of hemp to this country, but she doesn’t want the history lesson to end with such romantic waxings on the good old days. “Sure, there would be no America without hemp, and if you don’t understand that then you can’t really call yourself a patriot,” Gaines says. “Hemp allowed America to win its independence and was vital in forming the early colonies and in getting us through the Second World War. And yet we allowed it to get thrown out — all because a few corrupt, amoral industrialists decided that it was bad for their business.” For Gaines, hemp is more than just a crop; it represents a different idea of independence, one in which livelihood exists firmly in the hands of the American people, in a democracy that isn’t just political but economic. She calls the Marihuana Tax Act the “greatest heist of a natural resource in human history.” Historical interpretations like Gaines’ are often dismissed as conspiracy theories or as ways to cover up the racist history of drug laws. To be sure, in telling history one is telling a narrative that operates from a single vantage point, which is necessarily biased. But Gaines is steadfast in uncovering alternative histories that have been suppressed for too long at the expense of people and environment. History, she says, is important not just because we learn from our mistakes, but because it contributes to our moral understanding and is critical in creating a more informed and responsible citizenry. “My goal is to get people to realize that we have been duped and to get them angry,” Gaines says. “If we don’t fight to right history then history will just get written by the people who were there with the pen and paper and with the motive to write it down. If you are not there to stand up and be counted and to fight, no one is going to change anything.” This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

The making of the President — pot edition

ould marijuana legalization have an impact on the outcome of the presidential election? Yes, and in more ways than one. The most obvious way pot could influence the presidential election would be in the way that’s been discussed for months: By driving up voter turnout among groups that historically turn out fewer voters than the national average. These groups include blacks, Hispanics and the young (voters aged 18-29). As things now stand, recreational marijuana initiatives will be on the ballots of at least five states: Maine, Massachusetts, Arizona, Nevada and California. Florida and Arkansas will vote on medical marijuana, as may North Dakota and Missouri as well. If the presidential election is close in any of these states — and in the Electoral College — a higher than normal turnout of black, Hispanic or young voters could be what decides the outcome. But how and for whom? The conventional wisdom is that higher turnouts of black, Hispanic and young voters will translate into more votes for Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, because: 1) The three voting cohorts traditionally vote heavily Democratic, 2) Trump’s poll numbers with blacks and Hispanics are in single digits, and they aren’t stellar with the young, 3) Republicans are one of the last two demographic cohorts to oppose legalization of marijuana (the other is voters over 65), which will make it that much harder for the GOP to attract votes from people who came out to vote specifically for legalizing pot, and 4) the Democrats have a pro-pot-legalization plank of sorts in their platform. The Republicans don’t. That’s the conventional wisdom. But 2016 has been a lousy year for the conventional wisdom. Here are some reasons why marijuana initiatives may not automatically deliver extra votes for the Democrats. First, Trump hasn’t engaged on the marijuana issue yet. Up to now his statements have been contradictory and barely coherent.

But after the convention that could change. Trump is mercurial. He has shown he won’t hesitate to abruptly change his direction, positions and alliances if he feels it will advance his cause. Don’t take my word on this — ask Ted Cruz. If he feels coming out for marijuana legalization will help close the polling gap with Hillary, he’ll do it in a heartbeat. And if he’s able to draw a plausible link between the drug war and the poisonous relations between black America and the police, he may pull some black votes that would otherwise go to Hillary. And coming out for marijuana legalization may be a way for Trump to reach out to Sanders supporters who are gagging at the prospect of voting for Hillary. However, the way marijuana could really up-end the presidential election is by what it could do for the electoral prospects of Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. Johnson, a former Republican governor of New Mexico who was running a marijuana business until recently, has been rising in the polls lately. Last week, he drew 13 percent support in a CNN poll, which is probably the most support a Libertarian presidential candidate has ever registered. Johnson is obviously benefitting from voter disgust with both Trump and Clinton, but I suspect he is also benefitting from the Libertarian Party’s stand on legalization and his own. Johnson’s 13 percent support in the CNN poll is important, because it means he is within 2 percentage points of 15 percent support. If he can get 15 percent support in future polls, he will be invited to participate in the presidential debates. That would give him the sort of national forum that could allow him to attract enough votes to genuinely influence the outcome of the election in several states and the Electoral College. Johnson’s chances of winning would still be slim to say the least. But then he’s running against two candidates with Nixonian levels of personal popularity. And 2016 is a year when Americans are turning the political world upside down.

TRUMP’S CLOSING SPEECH LEAKED TO PRESS On the third day of the Republican National Convention taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, rumors began circulating that a copy of Donald Trump’s final speech had been leaked to the press. The opening sentence to the speech read, “Four score and seven years ago, I had a dream. In that dream I realized that it’s not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Fox News talking heads immediately declared that it was just a coincidence if some parts of the speech sounded familiar. Trump Campaign head honcho Paul Manafort quickly claimed that any suggestion that the speech had been cripped from previously famous speeches was simply the work of Hillary Clinton and that she should be imprisoned for making such claims. He went on to add that all the words in the speech are common words and offered that he uses the term “four score” at least a dozen times a day. At the end of his press conference, Manafort concluded with the following statement, “I don’t think anyone did anything wrong. But if heads have to roll, I’d just like to say it’s all Melania’s fault. I had nothing to do with this whole f#&$ing mess. These people are nuts and nobody can control them. And that’s also Hillary’s fault.” As of the reporting of this story, an ambulance had been dispatched to the set of MSNBC where apparently Rachel Maddow had passed out from uncontrolled laughter.

FOX GETS IT BACKWARDS AGAIN So the women of Fox News are claiming that their super-powerful, hyper-conservative boss Roger Ailes was sexually harassing them. First off we’d just like to say, “Ooooh, gross, yuk and what the hell was he thinking?” Ailes is one of the most powerful men/ Wikimedia Commons toads in America. He single-handedly created Fox’s skewed conservative version of “journalism,” which led to the creation of MSNBC’s skewed version of journalism, which together has led a whole lot of other media sources twisting the truth one direction or the other, which has left us with a government that acts more like Red and Blue gladiators slaughtering the citizenry for the entertainment of their corporate keepers than anything resembling democracy. But we digress. Fox’s way of handling their top man’s alleged habit of sexually harassing its female employees is to embarrass the women publically, force the The Rog women into secret arbitration courts instead of the public justice system and then give good ol’ Roger a reported $40 million to step down. That’s justice... Fox style.
