Readers react. In last week’s issue, we told the story of a transgender Orange County student and a teacher who refuses to use the child’s chosen name. Despite assurances of sensitivity from the school administration, the teacher told the student that he’d have to change his name legally if he wanted the teacher to use it. Readers weighed in. @Kelsey Guadalupe This is awful. As a former teacher I always made it a priority to address students by their preferred name. Whether it was a nickname, preference or name change, it didn’t matter to me. The most important thing is that students feel safe and comfortable in school and all of their classes. How can real learning take place if students are fearful or uncomfortable? This is terrible, and my heart goes out to this student and their mother. @Ivy Duncan The teacher obviously has a problem with the child identifying as anything other than their assigned gender identity. Probably an older teacher ignorant of transgendered individuals.

@Gerald Anthony Van Buren Why hasn’t the parent changed the name already? Problem solved. @Brian Leavitt A name change here in Florida will cost at least $400. You know what’s free and easier? Showing some fucking compassion and using the name the child asks you to use! @George Hasapes How can somebody be transgender from the sixth grade and below? @Katie Dunn This is completely against the best practices that should be used when educating transgender children. It takes almost no effort at all to use a student’s preferred name and pronouns! And for all the bros who think they’re experts in biological sex determination and gender identity: Welcome to a new decade, educate yourself. Make your own voice heard.

Disney takes unprecedented steps to address coronavirus, Orange County commissioner pauses Split Oak Forest toll road approval, and other news you might have missed. »

Orange County commissioner says Split Oak Forest toll road approval was filed under the wrong code: District 5 Orange County Commissioner Emily Bonilla at the Jan. 28 meeting said she wants to revoke the county’s approval for the toll road, which would bisect one of Orlando’s last remaining forests, Split Oak. She said the Florida Communities Trust, the state agency tasked with reviewing the plan, noted the proposal was filed under the wrong administrative code and said the county must resubmit the plan. Because of the error, Bonilla told Orange commissioners, the county could hear a motion on the reversal of its approval. A motion to rescind Orange County’s approval of the highway will be presented at the Feb. 11 meeting.

With face masks and park closures, Disney takes unprecedented steps to address coronavirus: As the Wuhan coronavirus continues to spread, Disney joined other theme park operators in China in the unprecedented move of closing both Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland until further notice, in an attempt to stop the virus from spreading. Saturday, Jan. 25, was the Lunar New Year, a holiday in China that sees hundreds of millions of travelers, but this year, plans were put on hold as the nation struggles to address the easily spread virus which has killed dozens.

The state of Florida is holding $2 billion and wants you to claim it: If a bank account records no activity for long enough (about five years), the state claims it. According to the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Unclaimed Property, Florida is sitting on about $2 billion from those accounts. Typically, the proceeds go to schools, but the state will pay back anyone who claims the money, and there’s a website that’ll help you do exactly that. Last year, $323 million was paid out to citizens. It’s free, and all you have to do is type in your name. Visit fltreasurehunt.gov, or missingmoney.com/en for other states, and something unexpected might pop up.

Gov. Ron DeSantis removes State Attorney Aramis Ayala from murder case: DeSantis last week pulled Orlando-area State Attorney Aramis Ayala from a high-profile murder case, issuing an executive order that cited her objections to the death penalty. Ayala has been caught up in a dispute with Osceola County Sheriff Russ Gibson over having not yet filed criminal charges against two suspects in the October murder of Nicole Montalvo. In the executive order, DeSantis said that Gibson believed Ayala’s “opposition to the death penalty has interfered with the appropriate pursuit of homicide charges.” The governor reassigned the case to Ocala-area State Attorney Brad King.

A manatee with a bicycle tire wrapped around its belly was spotted again at Blue Spring State Park: The garbage-entangled sea cow people have dubbed “Wheelie” was originally spotted last December, and all attempts to capture it have so far failed. Officials believe the manatee got stuck in the tire as a calf, and it has since tightened around its body as it grew. Though the manatee does not appear to be ill, the tire could lead to infection and will most likely need to be surgically removed. Officials have been notified. orlandoweekly.com

PRIMARY PRIORITIES

The three most important things I’m looking for in a Democratic candidate BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

A

fter 15 interminable months, God knows how many debates, thousands of campaign ads, a million polls, a billion VERY URGENT fundraising emails, frontrunners collapsing (sorry, Kamala), nobodies becoming somebodies (heya, Pete), flashes in the pan burning out (Beto!), should-have-beens never being (we’ll always have that housing plan, Julian Castro) and billionaires making TV stations rich – after all of that, voting in the Democratic primaries finally (finally!) begins this week. I have no idea what’s going to happen. But in Super Tuesday states, early voting starts soon. So after months of procrastination and vacillation, I’ve got a decision to make. I’m not quite there yet. But I do want to talk about the three things I’m looking for in a candidate. Ideologically – according to those myriad online quizzes – I most align with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But ideology isn’t my primary motivator. My decision is more rudimentary, framed by one key principle: Donald Trump and the authoritarian movement that brought him to power is a malignancy that has infected the Republican Party; the longer he remains in power, the more likely it is to corrupt the entire body politic. Which brings us to the most important thing I’m looking for in a candidate: Someone who can win. Right now, polling generally shows Joe Biden outperforming the rest in headto-heads with Trump, but not by enough to matter, especially after Trump’s propaganda machine makes the Ukraine conspiracy theory Hillary’s Emails 2.0. Besides, Biden hasn’t raised a lot of money or generated much enthusiasm. He does, however, appeal to the Trump-wary suburbanites who won Democrats the House in 2018. (So does Mike Bloomberg.) But he’ll have problems marshaling the base. Bernie Sanders won’t. If he’s successful in turning out new voters, he’ll fundamentally reshape the electorate. But it’s

their turnout, you can throw out the old playbook. And finally, No. 3: Someone who will democratize our democracy. By 2040, 70 percent of the country will live in 16 states, which means 30 percent of the country – mostly white, rural, and conservative – will have a supermajority in the Senate. They’ll also have an outsize say in the Electoral College, which means they’ll have an outsize say in judicial nominations, too. Ours will be a government by a minority dictated by geography. This isn’t just a future problem. The last two Republican presidents claimed the White House after receiving fewer votes than their opponents. The 53 Republican senators represent 15 million fewer Americans than the 47 Democrats. As 2016 taught us, winning more votes The next president needs to put this isn’t enough. You have to win the right democracy gap front and center – beginvotes in the right places. This year, that will ning with a push for the National Popular mean Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Vote Interstate Compact and statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

And as long as he’s running need to be rebuilt. Democratic guardrails the Senate, any Democratic president will need to be re-established.

Planet Hollywood disputes job creation allegations Planet Hollywood International, Inc. is disputing allegations by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity that the company breached a contract after receiving state incentives to add jobs in Orlando. The department filed a lawsuit in November in Leon County circuit court alleging that the company did not comply with requirements after receiving $288,000 in incentives. But in a court filing this month, attorneys for the company argued that the state “failed to identify a breach of an express term” of the incentives agreement. “Plaintiff (the state) is not entitled to relief as Planet Hollywood performed its obligations under the agreement and fulfilled the agreement’s essential purpose,” the filing says. “Planet Hollywood’s performance was so nearly equivalent to what was bargained for that it would be unreasonable to award the relief plaintiff seeks.” Also, Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey last week referred the case to mediation. The dispute stems from $288,000 that then-Gov. Rick Scott approved in 2011 for Planet Hollywood International from the state’s Quick Action Closing Fund program, which tied financial incentives with job creation, according to the lawsuit. Planet Hollywood International requested the money after acquiring the Buca di Beppo restaurant chain and said it was considering moving Buca di Beppo’s headquarters to Orlando, the lawsuit said. Under the agreement with the state, Planet Hollywood International was supposed to meet jobcreation benchmarks and file regular reports. But the Department of Economic Opportunity alleges that the company did not submit required reports or comply with monitoring. The lawsuit says the department terminated the agreement in 2016 and demanded repayment of the $288,000 but did not receive the money. – NSF


OVERRULED Florida’s local governments are sick and tired of the state lawmakers pre-empting home rule. How (and why) they’re starting to push back against one-size-fits-all legislation BY S O LOMON GUSTAVO

T

hings get outsourced these days. It’s weird talking to someone in Mumbai or Salt Lake City about a curious cell phone charge or a wonky wireless router in Apopka. But in order to get some things everybody needs to work and live, like the internet or cellular technology, people put up with seeking customer service on another continent for a local issue. It’s strange but manageable. Another thing being outsourced lately that’s far less manageable, especially here in Florida, is local government control. The Florida Legislature has passed aggressive pre-emption laws that nullify specific resolutions made on the local level. As city and county decisions are made in local governments all over Florida, often in response to local concerns that only impact the local community, state lawmakers swoop in to make the final call. Communities as distant as the island inhabitants of Key West and the land-locked residents of Orange County, to the South Florida beach dwellers of Coral Gables and the West Florida beach dwellers of Anna Maria, have seen regulatory choices that matter a great deal to their region-specific livelihoods and quality of life outsourced to faraway lawmakers and lobbyists in Tallahassee. “If we think of local government, it tends to be right down the street,” says Florida AFL-CIO’s director of politics and public policy, Rich Templin. “City and county commission meetings tend to happen after work hours. When you get there, there are people to watch your kids in the back that you know – neighbors, friends are there.” “Tallahassee is a bubble,” Templin continues. “Geographically remote, psychologically remote. It’s its own process that’s incredibly complicated, incredibly intimidating, with power in the hands of lobbyists.” Local officials in Key West approved the ban of sunscreens made with chemicals that damage coral

reefs, part of the island’s tourism-economy lifeblood. But a state pre-emption law backed by corporate behemoth Johnson & Johnson might squash the local measure. Orange County residents, through a ballot measure, voted to require employers in the county to offer paid sick leave. Then a state bill backed by Disney World and Universal Studios, and authored by a corporate lobbying firm, blocked it. The examples stretch to every corner of the state. As the new legislative session dawns, a coalition has risen to rebel against state overreach and regain local control by local governments. “We firmly believe that the best government is a government that’s closer to people,” said Rep. Anna Eskamani the evening after she, Templin and the Florida AFL-CIO, among other state and local elected officials, held a press conference at the Florida House chamber’s doors to announce a slate of bills that would repeal various state pre-emption. State legislators alongside Eskamani were Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, Rep. Geraldine Thompson, Rep. Richard Stark, Rep. Joy GoffMarcil, Rep. Javier Fernandez, and Rep. Ben Diamond. They were joined by Tallahassee City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow and groups including the American Heart Association, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Organize Florida, the Sierra Club, SurfRiders Foundation, Florida SEIU and Florida Local Unions 517, 630 and 1652. “It’s not likely where you see all these types of diverse groups come together, but the issue of local control impacts each one of us,” Eskamani told Orlando Weekly, adding that Florida needs to realize the “harsh reality” that local power is being usurped largely by corporate lobbyists aggressively applying state pre-emption. The pre-emption repeal bills the group hopes to pass this session will reinstate local ordinances to ban styrofoam and plastic bags in Coral Gables (SB

“ It’s important for voters to understand how much of their local rights, how much local control has already been lost. ”

182/HB 6043), gun control ordinances various cities attempted to enact (SB 134/HB 6009), rent stabilization efforts from bigger cities like Orlando (HB 6013/SB 910), region-specific tree-trimming ordinances (HB 6077), telecommunication ordinances so cities can deal directly with providers (SB 1848/HB 6075), sanctuary city ordinances that help build trust with immigrant communities (HB 6023), and local minimum wage and earned sick time ordinances like the one swatted down in Orange County (SB 1520/HB 6065). None of those bills have a chance in hell of passing the Republican-held legislature and with Gov. Ron DeSantis in the big house. “Chances of any of those bills passing is zero to zero,” says Templin. But the point of the coalition is to bring attention to state pre-emption overreach, to make a point via legislative self-immolation. “I think it’s important for voters to understand how much of their local rights, how much local control has already been lost.”

***

BREAKING THE GOLDEN (HOME) RULE Most people in Florida agree that local governments should have local control. According to a recent survey of Florida voters by the Moore Information Group, 80 percent of voters agree that “local governments are better connected to the community than state government and should be allowed to pass policies that reflect their community’s needs and values. That’s how state lawmakers saw things in 1968 when the Florida constitution was amended to allow cities and counties the power to pass local laws. Before that, local governments only had lawmaking control that was expressly granted by the state. This is known as home rule. Florida legislators stayed out of the regulatory way of cities and counties until this last decade, when state lawmakers, especially in the Republican-held Legislature, began using pre-emption as a specific tool to undermine local initiatives. The growing coalition against inappropriate state preemption wants a return to a stronger home rule. But with the dim chance of getting any bills passed, the main part of their efforts is stopping new pre-emption bills. Take a bill filed this session by Rep. Mike Grant that would pre-empt local occupational licensing. One of


the ways cities make money is through licensing the occupations, industries and contractors that operate within city limits. If Grant’s bill passes, all of that would be handled by the state, which he sees as a boon for local workers and, ultimately, the cities they work, live and spend money in. “Excessive licensing requirements can act as barriers to job entry for all workers,” said Grant in a statement. “HB 3 stops unnecessary local licensing restrictions so that people can work statewide without extra fees and requirements.” Other “bans on bans” already filed this session include pre-emption of local law relating to recyclable and polystyrene materials (SB 182), pre-emption of local motor home park laws (HB 647), pre-emption of local vacation rental regulations (HB 1011), and pre-emption of the ecological movement to grant legal rights to the natural environment (HB 1199, ironically called the “Environmental Protection Act”). “We’re fighting,” says Templin, “but it’s mostly defensive.”

***

THE GOOD PRE-EMPTION, THE BAD – AND THE UGLY “It should be clear that a red light should mean ‘stop’ everywhere,” says Scott Dudley, legislative director for the Florida League of Cities. “Statewide standards, or national standards, make sense.” More examples of smart pre-emption: National and state water utility standards are important, he adds, because water flows between city or state boundaries. The Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts are examples of federal pre-emption of state or local laws that enforced discrimination or voting suppression. Uniformity and consistency on basic tenets of civilization and safety are required for a multi-tiered government like America’s republic. But if a city or state wants to add further civil protections or higher standards for water quality on top of federal mandates, they should be able to, argues Dudley. Florida-style state pre-emption is so aggressive, it strictly blocks cities from having any say if the state has decided to step in. “Florida is unique in the sense that tries to pass the broadest, what we call ‘blanket,’ pre-emption laws,” says Kim Haddow, director of the Local Solutions Support Center, a national advocacy group that fights abusive state pre-emption. She says, in the last five to seven years, Florida has pulled away as one of four states in the country – the others being Texas, Arizona and Tennessee – that rely most heavily on aggressive blanket pre-emption. It’s the kind that “covers the whole field,” says Hudson Kingston, staff attorney with the Minnesotabased Public Health Law Center, which means, if a state pre-emption is passed on an issue like, say, tobacco use and sales, no county or city official can make any law in the field of tobacco use and sales. Even among Haddow’s top four pre-emption states, she says Florida stands out as the most punitive. Blocking local officials from making any law related to a certain pre-emption is one abuse. Arresting local elected representatives for attempting to enact local law is another. A sanctuary city pre-emption was passed in July and took effect at the start of this year,

barring any city officials from offering municipalbacked help to illegal immigrants. It’s a weakened version of the original bill, which included punishments for local officials that passed sanctuary city resolutions, including being jailed. Local gun regulation pre-emption has been on the books in Florida since the 1980s. Following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018, cities attempted to appeal the pre-emption in order enact stricter local gun regulations. This prompted an even more aggressive pre-emption bill that punished local officials if they passed tighter gun rules with possible fines, lawsuits, removal from office and even criminal charges. A state judge struck down the more punitive portions of the law. But Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a notice of appeal to that ruling in July. The pre-emption law is still in the appeals process. The intense overreach of punitive pre-emption is an abuse Haddow calls “draconian.” As those extremes continue to be battled out in the courts, municipalities are left with the blanket pre-emption bills that pass each year. Many are backed by corporate interests or eliminate civil rights protections, notes Haddow. “What is pre-empted in Florida? Minimum wage, paid sick days, looking at sanctuary cities,” she says. “If you think of minimum wage and paid sick time, it’s women of color, it’s the poor who don’t have paid sick time and don’t make a living wage. Pre-emption keeps economic structure, perhaps racial structure, if you look more deeply, in place.” An explosive example of pre-emption in Central Florida took place in 2012 when advocacy groups and Orange County residents gathered thousands of votes in order to force a ballot measure on paid sick leave in the upcoming election. The Orange County Commission blocked the measure from showing up on the ballot. Reports showed that commissioners, including Mayor Teresa Jacobs, received texts from corporations like Disney and Universal urging her to block mandatory paid sick leave. But a judge ruled that the 50,000 signatures from Orange County voters required the measure go on the ballot. In 2013, Orange County voters passed the ballot measure that required employers in the county to provide 56 hours of paid sick leave time – only to have the law pre-empted by the state. Then-Gov. Rick Scott signed the pre-emption, which was supported by Disney, Universal and Darden, the Orlando-based corporation that owns the restaurant chains Red Lobster and Olive Garden. Instead of corporations like Disney (for instance) squashing paid sick leave measures in each county, or in more than 400 cities across Florida, their lobbyists only have to make one trip to Tallahassee. “It’s much easier to control the state legislature than local municipalities,” says Stephanie Porta, executive director of Organize Now, the Orlando organization that led the charge for paid sick leave in Orange County. “It’s a one-stop shop,” says Templin. Haddow noted that state pre-emption simplicity is also aided by the convenience of corporate lobby firms like the nonprofit American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) writing boilerplate pre-emption laws. No matter the local issue, the “state is stepping in and saying, ‘We know better, we’re stepping into your domain,’” says Dudley. “And that’s not right.” sgustavo@orlandoweekly.com

Orlando Story Club, Alterity Chamber Orchestra and the Central Florida Composers Forum come together to interpret Joyland in words and music ORLANDO STORY CLUB’S JOYLAND AT THE ABBEY | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY

A century before Universal built “stories that are playful and youthful, and her dance career; composer Alex Burtzos Volcano Bay, Central Floridians flocked to the shores of Lake Ivanhoe to frolic at Joyland, Orlando’s original water theme park. Opened in 1910 as Russell’s Point, the amusement park’s water slides and dance hall lasted less than a decade before disappearing, but it continues to lurk in locals’ imaginations like a submerged city half-glimpsed beneath the surface. The latest artifact of Joyland’s lingering impact was last month’s ambitious eponymous collaboration between the Orlando Story Club and Central Florida Composers Forum, which featured six true-life tales set to original scores, performed live by five members of the Alterity Chamber Orchestra. Inspired by the Moth, a live storytelling event launched in 1997, Orlando Story Club kicked off in 2014, hosting semimonthly evenings featuring randomly selected speakers in the Downtown Arts District. Jan. 29’s Joyland event at the Abbey represented the first time the Club had pre-selected performers and paired them with composers to create original works of aural autobiography, and the outcome of their experiment exceeded all my expectations. Although none of the six resulting pieces was explicitly related to Ivanhoe’s extinct attraction, all were inspired by its theme, as Danielle Ziss (who has served as Club host and producer with Bobby Wesley since 2017) explained to me while we waited for the performance to begin. “Joyland is meant to be broad and general, so that the stories can take on very different arcs of emotion,” Ziss says. “We wanted a tie-in with Orlando, but we also wanted a theme that allows for the absence of joy, of the struggle to find joy,” producing both

stories that are very difficult.” The Joyland project arose after CF2 composer Charles Griffin attended an Orlando Story Club event, and later sought out Ziss to suggest a collaboration. Although the idea was initiated more than six months ago, the final product came together quickly. “In October is when we really started writing the stories, and then in November they were given to the composers,” says Ziss. “The composers then created the music, and in December we gave that to the players from the Alterity Chamber Orchestra, and we just did our rehearsal last week.” Following a welcome from Ziss and Griffin, the program kicked off with Madeline Potts’ “Coming Home,” a tale of automotive misadventure from her time as a traveling pottery artist; her icy anecdotes were interspersed with music by Paul Austin Sanders, who told me that composing for Alterity’s wind quintet took him back to techniques he learned in college. Griffin himself scored the cinematic soundtrack to the second entry, Jessie James’ emotional journey to the Old West, in which a horse ride in a hurricane became a metaphor for mental illness. The first act concluded with Orlando Story Club cohost Bobby Wesley’s ambivalent ode to the Greyhound Bus, aka “the Cadillac of desperation,” backed by Mark Piszczek’s bouncy Bernstein-esque orchestral jazz. After intermission, Aquanza Cadogan electrified the room with a passionate plea for human interaction peppered with pop-culture references, which Holly Cordero reinforced with interpolations of Bob Marley and Super Mario music. Then Ziss returned to the stage to share the story of the traumatic injury that derailed

joined her at the piano to help perform his appropriately painful pizzicato-heavy score. The final piece of the evening, and my personal favorite, came from longtime Orlando Story Club member Logan Anderson, who described his tale of hitching a bike ride to class with “A Girl and Her Banana Seat” as being “all about hanging on, and the strangeness of being seduced not just by the person but the image.” Anderson teamed up with first-time participant Erik Branch, who is best known as a theater and opera performer, but has a background in composition. They were the only pair that already knew each other prior to the project, and though Anderson wrote his script first, the final work required some back-and-forth. “It’s continuous music underneath,” says Branch, “so as he revised the text, I revised the music.” Anderson’s nostalgia-soaked story brimmed with animated imagery that took the listener on an emotional “roller coaster without seat-belts.” Better yet, Branch was the only composer of the evening to conduct his own music, a Stravinskymeets-Sondheim underscore full of complex, shifting time signatures. His use of Anderson as another instrument in the orchestra helped make for the night’s best integration of words and notes by far. Joyland was a one-night-only event, but Orlando Story Club returns to the Abbey April 1 with a “Fish Out of Water” theme. They’re also appearing at SAK Comedy Lab on Feb. 27, and will participate in May’s Orlando Fringe Festival.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) PHOTO COURTESY WARNER BROS.

BY STEVE SCHNEIDER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) I’ll be honest: I’ve never understood what the big deal is about Harley Quinn. As a character, I found her an entertaining foil in one episode of a half-hour cartoon series. And that’s about it. Her backstory as a psychologist who fell in love with her most dangerous patient has always struck me as an insult to professional women within an entertainment culture that never seems to tire of hurling them. And as regards her abusive on-again-off-again relationship with her boss, the Joker … well, let’s just say I pine for the days of molldom when the edgiest it got was wondering how the Clown Prince of Crime managed to concentrate on shooting the curl out at Gotham Point while his surf bunny, Undine, was running around in that obscene little silver number. (The things we didn’t know about Cesar Romero back then could have filled a book.) So anyway, a lot of people disagree with me. Because Harley is the fourth most popular character in the DC pantheon, right behind the holy trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. She’s so popular, in fact, that she’s gotten her own spin-off from 2016’s Suicide Squad, which is widely regarded as the putrid Everest in the DC Extended Universe’s mountain range of suck. This time, Harley has called it quits with Mistah J (mirroring developments in some iterations of the comic), throwing in her lot instead with the Black Canary, the

Huntress and Gotham cop Renee Montoya. At least, that’s who I’m told those characters are supposed to be: In the trailers, they just look like a bunch of sullen gamer girls to me. (More collateral damage in the ongoing delusion that these pictures have to “make sense in the real world.”) The most I can say in the project’s favor is that it’s been helmed by a female director, Cathy Yan. “First Asian woman to ever direct a comic-book movie,” says the PR. That’s a marked Improvement from the days when Warner’s wouldn’t even greenlight a Wonder Woman feature if Joss Whedon were attached to it. But you know when I’ll really be happy? When women get to make movies about Green Lantern and Deadpool, not just Harley Quinn and the Black Widow. Until then, the message the studios are sending is “You gals sure know your way around a geek property. You can handle all our bitches!” I guess I’ve just never been much of an incrementalist. (R)

ALSO PLAYING: Les Misérables What a sneaky way to put butts in seats! France’s official entry in the 2020 Oscars isn’t in any way based on the classic tale by Victor Hugo; instead, it’s an unrelated modern-day story about compromised cops working the slums of Paris. But you don’t need to know that before you pony up for your ticket, do you, American peeg? Right now, Sam Mendes is kicking himself for not releasing 1917 as War and Peace.

WILD MAN

Unknown Hinson is mad, bad and dangerous to know

UP

COMIC BY DAVE MITCHELL

there with much-

missed madmen of rockabilly like Hasil Adkins and Lux Interior is the stillkicking Unknown Hinson. With a mug that resembles Boris Karloff in The Mummy, a shock of pitch-black hair and what appear to be fangs protruding from his leering mouth, Hinson is hillbilly-noir personified. Hinson rose from the murky depths of South Carolina public access television fully formed in 1993, and soon branched out onto the stage, a more natural home for a persona equally steeped in myth (Is he a vampire? Did he really spend decades in prison? Does he truly voice a character on Squidbillies?) and fearsome guitar chops. What started out as a character slowly took on a life of its own, and in 2020 Unknown Hinson is still treading the boards and belting out numbers like “I Ain’t Afraid of Your Husband,” “Fish Camp Woman” and “I Cleaned Out a Room in My Trailer for You.” He’s a longtime live favorite in Orlando, so check out what the hubbub is all about, bub. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

What about your high school orchestra class made you want to pursue music as a career? Our high-school orchestra class was so much fun. We got the chance to play challenging music with our good friends and push our creative boundaries. It gave us a taste of what it would be like to make music for a living and we loved it. You collaborate frequently with schools – what’s your primary message to music educators trying to play both sides, connecting with students while also navigating administrators in a field with dwindling resources? That’s a really great question. Ultimately, the best way to reach kids is to communicate with them on their level and allow them to reach their creative potential with the hopes that administrators will see the value in their art. Let’s show the world the value in art and music classes.

Five questions with Kev Marcus of Black Violin BY GENEVIEVE TRAINOR

K

ev Marcus (Kevin Sylvester) and Wil B (Wilner Baptiste) were just kids when they met in the orchestra room at Dillard High School of the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. The majority-black magnet school also counts Nonpoint’s Elias Soriano and current Cats cat (Rum Tum Tugger) Jason Derulo among its alumni. But what began as a teenage friendship has now resulted in a Showtime at the Apollo legend title, performances with the likes of Wu-Tang Clan and Alicia Keys, two mixtapes and what will become four studio albums with the release of Take the Stairs in November. Black Violin – a moniker the pair told Strings magazine they took from the title of jazz violinist Stuff Smith’s 1972 solo album – blossomed when Sylvester, a violinist, and Baptiste, who plays viola, moved in together after college; they attended different schools, both on full music scholarships. Their innovative fusion of classical and hiphop music was the natural extension of their backgrounds

and interests, but also an intentional effort to keep audiences on their toes – to force them to engage in a sonic conversation between two very different worlds. “What other occupation is there that you can change the way people think when you’re finished with their time?” Marcus noted in a 2016 UpRoxx video interview. In addition to their own creative work as Black Violin, the pair have each done production and writing work for Tom Petty, Kanye West, Aerosmith and more. And they are extremely active in arts advocacy in schools, often inviting youth orchestras to perform with them and doing free school performances, prioritizing low-income and Title 1 schools. They’ve “adopted” Bethune Elementary School in Hollywood, Florida, through Michelle Obama’s Turnaround Arts mentorship program. Black Violin comes to Orlando’s Bob Carr Theater this Saturday, Feb. 8.

How did you come to the decision to mash up these two musical styles? That is, what gave you the confidence to make that aesthetic leap? It has always been in us. We’ve been listening to hip-hop since we were little boys and we also happened to study classical music at a high level, so it was very natural for us to put the two worlds together. The confidence came by facing our fears and performing for anyone that would listen. After our performances, people were often floored and it gave us the strength to push through anything so our music could be heard around the world. Where do you see the musical and historical threads of hip-hop and orchestral styles intertwine? Are there areas where the similarities outweigh the differences? Music is universal. Since classical music is the oldest form of tonal music, everything we consume now from pop, jazz, country, gospel, and even hip-hop stems from classical progressions and ideology. The similarities can be found in the chord progressions. The biggest difference between the genres is the creative freedom. Classical can be very rigid where the best hip-hop artists are lauded for them being extremely creative and doing things that others haven’t been able to accomplish. What era of each most informs your own style and musicianship? Classically speaking, we approach the violin from the Baroque era. Very clean and concise playing without sliding to notes. We relate more to the Golden Era of hip-hop (’95-’99) because we grew up during that time. The hiphop back then was more likely sampled from old jazz and rock tunes and had more tonality during that genre. These two styles strongly influence our sound and approach to music.

BY B AO L E - H U U RAPHAEL SAADIQ | PHOTO BY MICHAEL LOTHROP

RAPHAEL SAADIQ AND JAMILA WOODS AT THE PLAZA LIVE, JAN. 31

This has been a long time coming. Most certainly this Orlando show, but really the full reckoning of Raphael Saadiq. In a long and credentialed career stretching back to the 1980s, he’s been a famously prolific collaborator. As a solo artist, however, Saadiq’s been the agonizing opposite. Still, even though those recorded tastings have been few and far between, they’ve certified his individual greatness. A-list though his associations may be, his virtuosity deserves its own space. Well, he finally arrived in Orlando – a city Saadiq estimates he hasn’t played since he was a kid – to do just that. Opening was tourmate Jamila Woods, an R&B ace in the hole on tastemaking indie-rock label Jagjaguwar making her first tour through Florida. As neo as it is alternative, the soul step of this Chicago artist is a deadly combination of brass and finesse. Fronting a full four-piece band, her poised, crisp voice is steel wrapped in silk, rolling both smooth and tough like a young 21st-century Erykah Badu. And then, at long last, Raphael Saadiq claimed the spotlight. Though his solo career paints an artist steeped in reverence for vintage soul, he’s shown an increasingly forward look. His feet are in the idealized patina of the past but his sharp, smart eye can see the future. With some heavy subject matter on his current album, Jimmy Lee (his first in eight years), he’s emerging anew with the grit of modern truth.

Though Raphael Saadiq’s work is steeped in reverence for vintage soul, he’s shown an increasingly forward look. His feet are in the past but his sharp eye can see the future Despite his studio range, his live arrangement for this tour leans jazz with the piano often in the lead, but as it should be, all is secondary to Saadiq’s singing. On stage as it is on record, his voice is the genuine 24K article – a marvel that, with age, only gathers command rather than rust. Together, he and his band kept the show deep in groove. Saadiq amply flexed his ballad crooner chops, even delivering some grown-up renditions of Tony! Toni! Toné! songs that resonated like never before, Though it did come at the cost of not emphasizing some of his deeper, gutsier solo material enough, that’s probably the demographic juggle you face when you’ve got a career with the span of Saadiq’s. Live framing aside, take his solo work in sum and it totals one of the most finished and complete soul artists alive. A rolling boulder of rhythm & blues, soul, rock & roll and even hip-hop, Raphael Saadiq’s music is the velvet distillation of a halfcentury of Black excellence. In certain subcultures, his cachet is deep, but it’s far from universal. That’s unfortunate, because there are few more

plain cases of brilliant stars working in the shadows as Saadiq. Hopefully with the momentum of the excellent Jimmy Lee, that will change. The world would shine brighter for it.

TACOCAT AT THE ABBEY, FEB. 1

While current tourmates AJJ and Emperor X are very familiar presences in these parts, Seattle hometown heroes Tacocat have finally just made their Orlando debut. On stage, they embody all the color and spirit of their punk-spiked indie rock. With scrappy songs of such disarming humor and infectious melody, it’s easy to see how a decidedly fun band like this has infiltrated the indie world, having made the pivotal jump from boutique imprint Hardly Art to big-name sister label Sub Pop just last year. But it’s not because they’re just simple fun. It’s because their tunes can be simple perfection, with incisive feminist bite and surprising listening durability for poppy punk jams. Their latest material even shows some pronounced growth in sound and writing with longer, more elegant melodic contours. Staking increasingly undeniable claim to prime turf between riot grrrl and the Go-Go’s, Tacocat have emerged as one of their generation’s best guitar-pop exemplars without even seeming to try too hard. And in a nice local salute, they dedicated a song to Orlando’s own hometown garagepop heroes Wet Nurse. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

The Three Musketeers LITERARY

PHOTO BY CHRISTIAN KNIGHTLY

Revisit the tale of adventurer D’Artagnan and his gang of fellow fighters in the Orlando Shakes adaptation of the French classic The Three Musketeers. Splendid sword fights between the band of swashbucklers and the villainous Cardinal Richelieu are sure to accelerate the heart rate of all those in attendance. Producing artistic director Richard Rose is responsible for bringing this witty adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ handspun story to life, and seasoned actor and director Jim Helsinger directs the production. There are crossed swords and closely guarded secrets around every corner. Go all for one, and one for all for a lavish night of hoodwinks, heroism and friendship as the three musketeers thwart evil in 17th-century France together. – Maya James 7:30 p.m. | through March 22 | Orlando Shakespeare Theater, 812 E.

Mike Birbiglia, the comedian best known for Sleepwalk With Me, an autobiographical book and movie about his lifethreatening sleepwalking disorder, pops up for two nights on the Orlando Improv calendar this week. The 41-year-old’s last comedy special, The New One, debuted on Netflix last year to glowing reviews after six months on the New York theater circuit as a one-man show. But Birbiglia promises that his shows on this brief mini-tour of Florida – the Mike Visits His Daughter’s Grandparents Tour, as he’s referred to it on Twitter – will consist of entirely new material written over the past six months. – Thaddeus McCollum

Opera Orlando: The Girl of the Golden West OPERA

Take a walk on the wild side with Minnie, the Girl of the Golden West, who must decide between love and the law.

This is no ordinary saloon: Act One of the show is staged in the Cheyenne Saloon, followed by Act Two in the Ceviche ballroom right across the street. Soprano Amy Cofield takes the lead role, while her lover and renegade tenor, Dick Johnson, is played by Ben Gulley. Hors d’oeuvres, appetizers and desserts are offered during the show, along with drinks. Ride like the wind to join Minnie and her crew in the Old West for a rootintootin’ good time. – Isabella Marchetta

And who said humans can’t join in on the festivities? Paws in the Park is providing live music, food trucks, a beer garden and a body-painting booth with Skin Wars runner-up Shannon Holt.

Mills 50 Dragon Parade EVENTS

Who doesn’t love to ring in the New Year? Well, here’s your chance to do it again! The most celebrated holiday in East Asia is coming to Orlando with the annual Lunar New Year Parade in Mills 50. This year marks the first sign of the Chinese zodiac as we cycle into the Year of the Rat. Like any great parade, there will be music, guests, floats, costumes, dancers and, the best part, lots of food vendors. Our 2020 got off to a rough start, so come to the corner of Lake Highland Drive and North Mills Avenue to join in on the celebrations. Get a fresh reset on your resolutions while enjoying one of the biggest cultural events of the season. – Lillian Hernández Caraballo 11 a.m. | Mills 50, N.

Timelost MUSIC

Emerging band Timelost is the brainchild of two musicians from bands that, though different from one another, are unified in a commitment to crushing sound and genre defiance. Shane Handal is the guitarist-founder of St. Pete post-rock goliath Set and Setting – one of the best, most acclaimed Florida bands in recent years – and Grzesiek Czapla is bassist of Philadelphia progressive black metal band Woe. Their union as Timelost is a thick slab of shoegaze that’s far more Swervedriver than My Bloody Valentine, and it wears their heavy-music pedigree proudly and loudly. They’re coming on the mighty wind of a new debut album, Don’t Remember Me for This, that, live, should be a gorgeous sonic overload. The addition of noise punks Witchbender and rock-powered shoegaze act Sad Halen – two of the best bands of the current Orlando class – makes this bill a certified triple threat. – Bao Le-Huu with Witchbender, Sad Halen | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

Lee “Scratch” Perry MUSIC

By now even casual fans should know the high (unintentional pun!) points of eccentric and brilliant producer Lee “Scratch” Perry’s storied career: classic albums with the Upsetters like Super Ape, production work for Bob Marley, pioneering the disorienting outer limits of what became known as dub reggae, building (and then burning down) his own Black Ark Studio and, against all odds, living a long and vibrant creative life. We saw the man himself in all his prophetic, freaked-out glory when he played the Social in 2018 and he lived up to every single myth beautifully. Perry came out fashionably late, dressed in a mirrored hat, brandishing staff and chalice, singing, toasting, uttering incantations, sometimes wandering aimlessly around the stage – it was electric and unpredictable. If you want to see a legend, a myth, in person, do not miss this. Perry is well into his 80s, so you might not get many more chances. – Matthew Moyer 7 p.m. | The Social, 54 N.

B Y DA N S AVAG E

I started reading your column when I was a 20-year-old kid. Now I’m an old married lady with 20 years of (more or less) blissful married monogamy behind me. My oldest daughter, who is 23, just came out to me as a sex worker. She’s been making a slim living as a cam girl. She recently graduated with a marketable degree, but she hasn’t been searching for a job in her field because, as she puts it, “It’s hard to want to apply for a minimum wage job when I make the same working from home.” I’m finding this very hard to process on a number of levels. First, and I hope you will believe most importantly, it’s very hard for me to see her giving up what used to be her dreams. But that’s not the part I think you can help me with. I used to be a sex worker. For three years in the early ’90s, I was a dancer at the Lusty Lady on First Avenue in Seattle. That was before the Internet really existed, but I think the job is actually fairly analogous to cam work: nudity and masturbation for the pleasure of others, with no actual physical contact. I found sex work to be corrosive to my personal goals. As a heterosexual woman, I hoped to fall in love with a man and have a family, and for me, the longer I did that type of work, the more impossible those goals seemed. I saw men at their worst 40 hours a week. As time went by, I felt myself withdrawing more and more from the possibility of any kind of affectionate relationship with a man. Quitting for me was an act of self-preservation. I did my best to react nonjudgmentally when my daughter confided in me, but truthfully I’m really unhappy about it. I worry about the effect sex work will have on her future – both her intimate relationships and her professional goals – and while there are people working to reduce the stigma attached to sex work, that stigma still exists. I worry that she will become mired in poverty, barely getting by, and I worry that she will not be able to find loving relationships with men who value her worth. What do I do, Dan? Do I stand back and love her? Do I try to give her the benefit of my experience, even if that seems shame-y? Is this even any of my business, given that she’s older now than I was when I gave birth to her? The Cam Girl’s Mom Your daughter made this your business when she shared it with you, TCGM. So my advice would be to lean in (not stand back), love your daughter, and share your own experiences with her. But the goal shouldn’t be to get your daughter to stop doing sex work – that’s not the “benefit” you’re after – but rather to open the lines of communication and keep them open. Zooming out for a second … The kind of sex work you did decades ago at the Lusty Lady was different in important ways. (I visited the Lusty Lady a few times in

the early ’90s, TCGM, which makes you one of the few letter writers that I might’ve seen naked who didn’t enclose photos.) The women who danced at the Lusty Lady were behind Plexiglas walls, men pumped quarters into slots to lift partitions that allowed them to see the women, and there were private booths for solo shows. But while you saw men “at their worst” (men can and have done worse), your daughter doesn’t have to look at the men she’s performing for. Her clients – her fans, if she has a following – aren’t on camera themselves. They may send her messages, and she may interact with them via DM, but she doesn’t have to watch them jack off. And unlike a performer in a peep show, your daughter can block guys who give her the creeps or who are in any way pushy or disrespectful. Then again, while she doesn’t have to see men leering at her or watch cum drip down Plexiglas walls, she does have to worry that someone out there might be recording her sessions and posting them online. And unlike the Lusty Lady (RIP), the internet is forever. But the stigma around sex work is decreasing – Elizabeth Warren recently said she’s “open to decriminalizing” sex work (a tiny step in the right direction) – and with people of all ages furiously sexting each other, we’re quickly reaching the stage where everyone has nudes out there somewhere. Pretty soon it won’t be in anyone’s interest to punish or harass people whose pics or videos go big or viral, because you could be next. Something else to bear in mind: You worry that doing this kind of sex work – roughly the same kind you did – may make it impossible for your daughter to fall in love, create a family, pursue her professional goals or even make a decent living. But you fell in love, created a family and presumably make a good living yourself. And while it’s possible that doing this kind of work delayed achieving those goals, TCGM, you weren’t derailed or destroyed by it, and your daughter doesn’t have to be either. (And is less likely to be with her mom in her corner.) Also, your daughter may not want the same things you did. Not everyone wants one committed, long-term partner, and not everyone wants kids. And while you’re understandably distressed that she isn’t doing anything with her degree at the moment, it’s possible your daughter’s ideas about what she wants to do with her life have changed since she picked a major. Working as a cam girl may give her the time and space she needs to figure out a new dream for herself. And as crazy as it sounds to some … there are women and men out there whose dream job is sex work. Your daughter opened a door when she shared this with you, and there must be a reason she shared it with you. Hell, it’s possible she may want to be talked out of doing it. So don’t hesitate to share your experiences and perspective with her. It’s not

“ C A M W H AT M AY ”

shaming to tell her you did this kind of work and found it dehumanizing and corrosive. That’s the truth of your experience. But after you share your perspective, TCGM, listen to hers with an open mind. And as all parents of adult children know or soon learn, TCGM, your kid gets to make their own choices and quite possibly their own mistakes. And sometimes what looks like a mistake to a concerned parent turns out to be the right choice for the adult child. I am a heterosexual man. My wife has been dating other men for the past year. When she started dating her first boyfriend, she told me she wasn’t ready for me to date other people but would process through it and then we could open up the relationship for me, too. After about six months, her first relationship ended and we both started looking for other partners. She found another guy pretty much right away and it took a few months before I started dating. I had a couple of dates with this woman and then kissed her at the end of our second date. When I told my wife what happened, she got jealous and angry. A day later, my wife stole my phone and sent a message to the woman I’d been dating ending our relationship, and then she blocked the woman from my social media accounts and deleted her number from my phone. She broke up with her boyfriend and is insisting that our relationship is closed now. I love my wife, but I feel violated in so many different ways and I’m unsure what to do. Married A Dictator Your wife should’ve married a cuckold – a man who wants to remain faithful to a woman who fucks around on him and dates other men – and you should’ve married a woman who isn’t a controlling, manipulative, unhinged hypocrite. Luckily for you both, MAD, a divorce that would allow each of you to find a new partner – a cuck for her, a sane person for you – is still an option.
