¶ Democracy requires getting off our butts Dear Editor, In Athens, young adults spent two years in public service. Many over 30 formed a huge city council to make laws for the population. In Rome, citizens had extensive and regular civic duties. Elected officials served only one-year terms, so many would have the opportunity of being leaders. In Israel, land-owning parents administered the law among all relatives, boarders and workers on their land. Parents taught law and literacy to their children. In England, families contributed labor to the castle guard, just as in America men rotated duty as night watchmen. Both democracies had extensive militia and jury duty requirements. Today, Americans shirk even jury duty and can’t be bothered to vote in local elections. We have withdrawn from charitable causes, and civic, electoral and church participation. We are too busy with social media, video gaming, Netflix binging, on-line shopping, porno and the new sports gambling craze to be of service to our country and our fellow human beings. The shame falls squarely on business, political and even church leaders, who regularly invite us to lead highly privatized lives dedicated to their products, services and causes. Can’t we do better? — Kimball Shinkoskey

¶ Against puppy mills, and masks (we think?) Dear Editor, It is hard to comprehend at this point Petland are able to push to allow puppy mills to once again be active to make their profit margins. As a voter you do believe these people are educated to some level with an ability to make judgment calls of what is right and what is wrong. Popularity by always advertising self for political gain in a negative light is a sad way to increase awareness in the political world. The people of Florida do not agree to these puppy mill conditions. The puppies that survive the store conditions are rarely socialized to be a genuine caring pet for a family. We survived COVID by wearing masks at work in a hospital. That was an extremely poor decision too. But it did make the CBS news. Executed perfectly. — Robin Stoaks Send letters to feedback@orlandoweekly.com.

A New Smyrna Beach curfew, lettuce-dependent manatees, gay Disney employee walkouts and other news you may have missed last week. »

Doctor caught in medical marijuana sting cleared of wrongdoing

New Smyrna institutes spring break curfew

Manatee feeding program working, but deaths still a concern

LGBTQ Disney employees stage walkouts over ‘Don’t Say Gay’ response

Florida voters seek to intervene in redistricting case

A Tallahassee doctor who ordered medical marijuana for two undercover investigators posing as patients didn’t do anything wrong, an administrative law judge decided last week. The Florida Department of Health sought to strip physician Joseph Dorn of his medical license for five years, permanently ban him from ordering medical marijuana for patients and impose a $10,000 fine. The proposed penalties against Dorn — who has practiced in Florida for more than three decades — stemmed from a 2019 complaint alleging that the physician violated state law by failing to conduct physical examinations of “Patient O.G.” and “Patient B.D.” But Administrative Law Judge W. David Watkins issued an order recommending that the complaint be dismissed, saying that health officials “failed to present competent substantial evidence in this case.” The New Smyrna Beach City Commission voted last week to enact a 60-day curfew for minors. The move comes after business owners and residents complained about visitors under 18 causing havoc. The New Smyrna Beach Police Chief presented a potential situation in which children are left to their own devices in the city’s core. “Parents have come over and either (got) short-term rental houses, or hotel rooms, piled up a whole bunch of kids, and walked away,” Mike Coffin said. Mayor Russ Owen said that children are creating chaos at area restaurants. “[C]hildren stealing a ladder from a restaurant, using it to climb on the roof of a restaurant and throw their furniture off that roof, that’s not [just] kids being kids,” Owen said. The curfew calls for fines for repeated violations and the potential of community service. It starts at 11 p.m. every night. Wildlife officials appeared optimistic last week that an unusual feeding program for starving manatees in the Indian River Lagoon has provided some relief for the sea cows as the cold-water season nears an end. But feeding manatees might be necessary again next winter because of the dwindling amount of seagrass in the lagoon, officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service say. Tom Reinert, southern region director for the FWC, said a decision will come after a review of what worked and what didn’t in the feeding program. “We’re not going to solve the seagrass issues in the Indian River Lagoon over the course of this summer. So, we will have to see, but it feels likely that we may have to do this again,” Reinert said. Ron Mezich, leader of the commission’s imperiled species management section, said officials remain concerned that manatees will start to expect to be fed lettuce, a process that could soon end with the arrival of warm waters. A group of LGBTQ Disney employees are staging virtual and in-person walkouts in response to the company’s handling of Florida’s recently passed “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Organizers are posting about the planned interruptions via a Twitter account called Disney Walkout. They shared an open letter to the company stating their concerns and a website (whereischapek.com) that collects criticisms of CEO Bob Chapek, employee testimonies, a walkout schedule and their demands. “The recent statements by The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) leadership regarding the Florida legislature’s recent ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill … have indicated that leadership still does not truly understand the impact this legislation is having not only on cast members in the state of Florida, but on all members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the company and beyond,” organizers wrote. They demand that Disney immediately cease all donations to the architects of the legislation, including a list of names. The company has announced a temporary pause on all donations until they can rethink the way that they give to politicians, but “a temporary pause is not enough — we require a commitment,” organizers wrote.

A group of voters is seeking to join in a federal lawsuit asking judges to set new Florida congressional districts. The nine voters are the same group who filed a similar redistricting lawsuit of their own last week in Leon County circuit court. While that case continues, their attorneys say they should also be able to take part in the federal lawsuit filed by Common Cause Florida and FairDistricts Now. Both cases were filed after Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed to veto a congressional redistricting plan passed by the Legislature, creating uncertainty about how new districts will be drawn as part of the once-a-decade reapportionment process. “As registered Florida voters residing in overpopulated congressional districts, proposed Intervenors are directly governed by the unconstitutional malapportioned districting scheme that is the subject of this litigation and their parallel state court action,” attorneys for the nine voters argued in a document filed Wednesday. “Proposed intervenors’ right to an equal vote will be denied absent the implementation of a new congressional redistricting plan.” orlandoweekly.com ● MARCH 23-29, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

PHOTO COURTESY MILK DISTRICT MAIN STREET

Milk District storefront crashes prompt effort to make Robinson Street safer BY ERIC TEGETHOFF

olice tape still drapes the boarded-up entrance to the Milk District Spot on Robinson Street. In January, a car veered off the road and smashed into the storefront, leaving behind a chaotic scene of bricks and destruction. Then, in early March, a car jumped the curb on the same block and swiped the Bull and Bush. The British pub’s door was badly damaged. The four-lane road in the heart of the Milk District is lined with bars and stores on its south side. They open up onto a sidewalk that gives way to the street with no protective buffer between pedestrians and cars. The cars zipping by are a palpable presence for people visiting the strip. The two wrecks, as well as others in recent years near the corner of Robinson and Bumby Avenue, have prompted the Milk District to consider what safety measures it can take to protect the popular shops and bars on the street. Zac Alfson, executive director of the Milk District Main Street District, tells Orlando Weekly business owners are frustrated. “We luckily haven’t had any fatalities yet, but I think that really is about luck and that won’t last forever,” Alfson says. “They [the businesses] are facing real hard costs on building repairs and insurance.” Short-term solutions are limited, but long-term fixes are

HOP TO IT East Orlando neighborhood Azalea Park is overrun with bunnies, and a local group plans a rabbit rescue mission The population is rapidly growing all over

Orlando, so it’s no surprise to see a new family or two on your block. But Azalea Park residents are dealing with a completely different type of population boom: The neighborhood is chock-full of rabbits. There are about 50 bunnies living in this Orange County neighborhood, and that number is growing. “What likely happened in a situation like this is someone dumped maybe a couple of rabbits, but their gestation period is 20 to 30 days to give birth, so very, very quickly you are going to

complicated. The biggest challenge is that Robinson Street is also State Road 526, meaning the city of Orlando needs approval from the Florida Department of Transportation if it wants to make any changes. Last Friday, Alfson met with Orlando Transportation Director Tanya Wilder, her department, and the city planning division to discuss solutions. While the state has a big makeover of the street in the works, Alfson was curious if some interim measures could be put in place to protect pedestrians and businesses. The most viable solution to come from the meeting? A bulbout, or widening of curbs at the intersection of Robinson and Bumby. A “quick curb” design would put a line of raised strips that hold up caution markers into the street, radiating out from the existing curb in the shape of the eventual bulb out. It would temporarily do the job of narrowing the roadway and slowing down traffic, if the state approves of the idea. Cement curb extensions are part of FDOT’s ultimate plan for busy intersections on Robinson Street, which is State Road 526 from downtown to the executive airport. In 2019, the agency completed a planning and development study for Robinson. It proposed replacing the four lanes of traffic racing into and out of downtown with a pedestrian-friendly corridor. The redesign would reduce Robinson to three lanes, including one turn lane interspersed with green medians. It also see those numbers increase,” said Alicia Branoff, adoption and foster coordinator of Orlando Rabbit Care & Adoptions, in an interview with local TV news channel WESH. Orlando Rabbit Care & Adoptions are a nonprofit organization that dedicates their time to educating, caring for and rescuing house rabbits. They are trying their very best to rescue all these bunnies and care for them until they can find a home. In 2021, the organization rescued 575 rabbits, and just in the first two months of 2022, they rescued 130 rabbits. “There were bunnies everywhere. In every yard. … It’s just a sad situation for the community because these people have to come outside and see animals that need rescue, and no one can do anything about it at this point,” said Stephanie Gallino, an Orlando Rabbit Care volunteer, on WKMG-TV. Many area rabbit rescues are at full capacity and Orlando Rabbit Care already has 80 rabbits. Taking these rabbits in might prevent them from taking in more for the rest of the year. Petco and PetSmart

provides space for a two-way, protected bike lane near Lake Eola and creates on-street parking in front of Milk District businesses. According to FDOT’s website, resurfacing on the Milk District stretch is scheduled for November 2023. Laura Hardwicke, Orlando’s transportation project manager, tells Orlando Weekly the city and FDOT are in sync on this plan. “We’re used to working with them on all of their roads that are within the city,” Hardwicke says. “While there’s more people at the table, it’s something we’re used to.” An early suggestion to protect businesses and pedestrians on Robinson was bollards, or cement posts lining the sidewalk. That suggestion is not off the table, but Hardwicke says it could clash with long-term plans. “Bollards on the sidewalk might treat the symptom of cars running into the buildings,” she says. “But it doesn’t necessarily address the trend in these crash reports, which is that speeding is an issue.” The city is approaching FDOT with suggestions from last week’s meeting. It’s just phase one in a move toward greater safety, but Alfson calls it good news. “We’re getting a response from the city where there wasn’t any before,” he says. “We’re looking to work closely with them on finding a solution that makes our patrons safe, businesses able to stay open and that preserves the assets of the property owners.” Hardwicke says the street is a priority, but notes there are other parts of town that need attention, too. According to city data, seven of the 19 fatal pedestrian or bicycle crashes last year happened in District 5, which consists of downtown and west Orlando. The city’s pedestrian safety record has been dismal for at least a decade, as Smart Growth America’s reporting has tracked. The organization’s “Dangerous by Design” reports rank states and metropolitan areas around the U.S. using their “Pedestrian Danger Index,” a combination of metrics that measures how deadly it is for people to walk based on the number of people struck and killed by drivers while walking. The 2021 index named Orlando the most deadly metro area for walkers in the country. The region has topped five of six “Dangerous by Design” reports since 2009. There are signs the city is focused on getting better. In 2017, it adopted a Vision Zero Action Plan that aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries within the city by 2040. The Vision Zero dashboard makes crash information accessible to the public. The regional transportation organization MetroPlan Orlando has backed the complete streets model that puts walking, biking and public transportation at the forefront. And Wilder, who wants to fix Orlando’s car-reliant hellscape, is one year into her tenure as transportation director. The faster the city can move toward Wilder’s vision of a less car-centric place, the safer it will make everyone. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

no longer sell rabbits, nor can they take them in. “We would have to come in and get all of the rabbits or none. We can’t just pull three or four rabbits at a time if we have three or four openings and then come back in two or four weeks and start getting more. Because, like I said, with them reproducing so quickly we would never get ahead of that number,” said Branoff. Wild rabbits know how to escape from predators and know where they can dig a burrow, while domestic bunnies need more attention and special care. ORCA needs donations, as some of the supplies needed are expensive. Getting the bunnies ready for adoption can come to $7,500, including flea medications, spay and neuter surgery, vaccinations, and any other medical attention they may seek. “We need volunteers. We need money donations. The biggest thing we need is a climatecontrolled location to put all of these rabbits,” Branoff says. — Melanie H. Morales

In the current climate, both political and pop-cultural, frank discussion of women by women is still both dangerous and necessary. Jaimz Dillman’s production of ‘The Vagina Monologues’ couldn’t come at a better time

When Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues debuted off-off-Broadway in 1996, the titillating title alone was enough to brand it as edgy political theater. A quartercentury later, after being name-checked on Sex and the City and performed at countless celebrity fundraisers, one would hope our society has evolved enough that a collection of speeches about female body parts should no longer seem so taboo. But take one look at the current conniption over Pixar’s Turning Red for daring to depict menstruation, and you’ll know this frank discussion of everything gynocentric is still both dangerous and necessary. Since that’s the case, the end of Women’s History Month seems the perfect time for producer Jaimz Dillman’s starstudded live readings of The Vagina Monologues at Timucua Arts Foundation. (The 8 p.m. show on Saturday, March 26, is already sold out; check eventbrite.com for tickets to the 10 p.m. show.) Dillman, a Sanford native who is best known as founder of the Corsets & Cuties burlesque troupe, began her performing career at SAK Comedy Lab, and has worked at all three major theme park resorts as well as fan conventions like Spooky Empire. Along the way, she put her improvisational hosting skills to service for two prior Vagina Monologues fundraisers produced by friends, and decided now was the time to mount her own. “Coming out of COVID, I realized that we all needed to stretch our performing legs a little bit and get back into the swing of things, and I reflected on some experiences I had in the past and things that I wanted to re-create or give back to the community. And The Vagina Monologues, when I performed it, was such an empowering and powerful piece,” says Dillman. “The two different times that I performed it, I was in two different situations: The first time I was a young single mother, and the second time, I was newly married. So you know, at different times in your life, different pieces are poignant to you in different ways, and I wanted to bring that back to the production.” To bring Ensler’s words — which cover topics from tampons and douches to wartime rape — to life, Dillman eschewed auditions and instead turned to her personal contacts (or as she says, “beautiful people and beautiful humans that are personally friends of mine”) to assemble a who’s-who of Orlando actresses, including Tymisha Harris (Josephine), Nicole Dupre (Opera del Sol), Summer Aiello (Universal Orlando), Sarah Lee Dobbs (Orlando Fringe Critic’s Award) and a dozen more. “I basically reached out to anybody that I could think of

that would voice a specific monologue in that piece, and I could hear their voices coming through as I was reading it,” says Dillman, whose show is financially sponsored by Carla Stanton with Mainframe Real Estate; proceeds will support One Heart Women and Children (oneheartorlando.org). “And everyone said yes, so it’s kind of blown my mind how it’s all coming together.” One name on the cast list that blew my mind was State Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, a rising star in the Florida Democratic Party who successfully flipped House District 47 in her 2018 campaign, and earned a following by fighting for citizens against Florida’s byzantine unemployment system during the initial pandemic shutdown. “I have been a longtime fan of The Vagina Monologues and when asked to participate to support One Heart for Women and Children there was no way I could say no!” said Eskamani in an email interview. Although Eskamani has no previous on-stage experience, she did technical theater in high school, and calls herself “a lover and supporter of the arts.” To prepare for her theatrical debut, she says she’s been reading her lines and practicing on the way to and from Tallahassee during the legislative session. She’s performing the monologue “Hair,” which she says is one “a lot of people can relate to. There are such narrow beauty standards that people — especially women — feel pressure to fit into. ‘Hair’ challenges that standard and reminds folks of why you should love the hair on your body!”

Sadly, a shadow hangs over this show due to its sudden relocation from its originally scheduled venue at Häos on Church Street. This production was one of several local shows to pull out of Häos last week after the sudden departure of entertainment director Blue Star and her Blue LaLa Entertainment, which follows the property’s purchase by developer (and recent DeSantis appointee to the State University Board of Governors) Craig Mateer. “I am so proud of this team of beautiful humans that we have met along the way in the last 2 years,” Blue wrote in a posted statement. “We are so proud we gave the [LGBTQIA+] community a safe space and created a concept that was thoughtful and fresh. … Please find us elevating Orlando to the next level because that’s what we do.” Even that cloud had a silver lining when Timucua swiftly stepped in to offer their space and “ended up being our savior,” as Dillman says. Still, it’s clear that a quarter-century after Ensler first spoke out, strong women still face an uphill struggle. If that pisses you off, here’s Rep. Eskamani’s parting advice: “Get involved; don’t shrink in your advocacy or presence, get bigger and louder! Our state is moving in the complete opposite direction of progress, from the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill to the 15-week abortion ban. We need to be united in our opposition to these dangerous policies and stand together, loudly and proudly!”

how pizza is typically eaten in Brazil, though Brazilians have been known to eat pizza wearing plastic gloves when skipping the cutlery. Over at Braccia Ristorante in Winter Park, they offer plastic gloves to guests ordering their Brazilian pies. In the two dessert sfihas we sampled — banana and mozz ($2.60) and beijinho ($3.80) with sweetened condensed milk and coconut custard — the sugary crust wasn’t just wholly appropriate, it enhanced the sweetness of the fillings. I’d make the drive out to Metrowest just to sample these again. But the most appealing facet of 14 Bis is its aviation-themed interior. I was dazzled by the flight information displays, the tables with actual airplane seats and the faux fuselage with windows looking out onto computergenerated passing clouds. There’s a “First Class Lounge” for larger parties, and the servers are all dressed like flight attendants. Like those dessert sfihas, I ate it all up. In fact, the restaurant’s name is a reference to the biplane designed by Brazilian aviation pioneer Albert Santos-Dumont. In 1906 in Paris, Santos-Dumont flew the 14 Bis in the first manned flight to be witnessed by a crowd. A scaled-down replica of the plane hangs from the restaurant’s ceiling. Pretty cool. No doubt, the sugar-crusted pies at 14 Bis won’t be for everyone, and they’ll certainly throw diners not accustomed to Brazilianstyle pizza for a proverbial loop. In the world of pizzadom, there’s always room for different interpretations — at least, there is in my book. If anything, it’s what makes this aviation-themed restaurant a departure from other pizzerias.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD BUNNY Bad Bunny reaches global status, ushering in a new era of reggaeton BY LY N N ET T E C A N TOS

t has only taken mega artist Bad Bunny a short amount of time to do things beyond the norm with reggaeton music, combining different genres that reach international audiences and performing sold-out concerts (like these Orlando shows), all while embodying what it means to be Puerto Rican, or de P FKN R. It was during his college days as a student from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio began uploading his music on SoundCloud, eventually signing his first record deal in 2016. Discovering Bad Bunny as a featured artist on a song was almost inevitable at the time of his first record deal, as he compiled multiple hit singles and remixes in the process with bigtime reggaeton artists such as Daddy Yankee. After collaborating with Cardi B. and J. Balvin on 2018’s smash hit “I Like It,” Bad Bunny released his debut album X100PRE on Christmas Eve in 2018. X100PRE, an abbreviated way of saying “Forever” in Spanish, is a reggaeton album that blends other music styles, incorporating ’80s vaporwave throwback synths in “Otra Noche en Miami” and early 2000s pop-punk guitar chords in “Tenemos Que Hablar.” Once again, El Conejo Malo collaborated with J. Balvin in 2019 on a duo album titled Oasis, but it was his back-to-back albums released in 2020 — YHLQMDLG (Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana) and El Último Tour Del Mundo — that solidified his mainstream status for Billboard’s highest-charting albums that are completely in Spanish. YHLQMDLG, another abbreviation for “I Do Whatever I Want,” serves as homage to early 2000s reggaeton aesthetics and musical motifs, such as the hit songs “Safaera” featuring reggaeton icons Jowell & Randy and Ñengo

Flow, and “Yo Perreo Sola,” which evolved into a battle cry for women to assert themselves into dancing perreo on their own. His latest album, El Último Tour Del Mundo or “The Last World Tour,” is a tongue-in-cheek title considering its release in late November 2020, months after the COVID-19 pandemic affected the entertainment industry, prompting Bad Bunny to record all of the tracks while in quarantine. “DÁKITI” was the first single off the album, with ethereal melodies and fellow Boricua singer Jhay Cortez harmonizing over Bad Bunny’s verses throughout the song. Meanwhile, the duet between Benito and rising

BAD BUNNY 8 p.m. Tuesday-Wednesday, March 29-30 Amway Center 400 W. Church St. amwaycenter.com SOLD OUT

singer Rosalía, “La Noche De Anoche,” served as the final single from the album, with both artists performing the song on Saturday Night Live after collaborating via long-distance sessions due to the pandemic. Just like his critically acclaimed sophomore album, Bad Bunny’s entire persona revolves around how he does whatever he wants. His fashion sense is unique, subverting expectations of what a stereotypical reggaeton artist looks like, with his eclectic style of wearing vivid outfits and painting his nails. His songs challenge what the genre is capable of sounding like, such

as last summer’s single “Yonaguni,” in which he sang a verse in Japanese on top of his iconic vocals and melancholy lyrics. Bad Bunny’s versatility in recent endeavors like wrestling for WWE (read all about this on page 27) and acting alongside Brad Pitt in the upcoming movie Bullet Train is inspiring to watch as he inches his way closer into becoming a household name — without fitting into a label. As someone who was a teenager growing up in Puerto Rico during the height of reggaeton’s groundbreaking popularity in the 2000s, I never connected with the genre the same way my peers did until much later when I discovered Bad Bunny’s music. Sonically, the closest resemblance was a path once charted by another well-known reggaeton band in the 2000s named Calle 13, with their self-titled debut album embracing different types of music ranging from cumbia to electronica. On top of his musical artistry, Bad Bunny’s activism during the 2019 “Ricky Renuncia” protests in Puerto Rico — when a leaked WhatsApp chat revealed former governor Ricardo Rosello’s administration insulting women and mocking constituents, including victims of Hurricane Maria — solidified Benito’s unapologetic pride in Puerto Rico to the worldwide masses. With a new album in the works for 2022 announced on his Instagram, it’s that creative drive that makes Bad Bunny so universally appealing. He embraces the freedom to live your life according to your own standards — not those of someone else — while capturing the essence of Puerto Rico’s multifaceted culture as we know it.

Bad Bunny is one of the the most credible “outsiders” ever to step into a WWE ring

SIDE G

HUSTLE

Bad Bunny is a fan of pro-wrestling, and World Wrestling Entertainment is a fan of Bad Bunny

iven the rapid success that Bad Bunny has found in the world of professional wrestling, some fans may be surprised that he hasn’t pursued the craft on a full-time basis. But there’s a very good reason for that: He’s actually a phenomenally successful musician, as the audience at his upcoming sold-out Amway Center shows can gleefully attest. Bad Bunny has been a wrestling fan since birth, and stands out among the most successful celebrities to ever dabble in the business.

That covers a lot of ground: Andy Kaufman, Mike Tyson, Lawrence Taylor, Trump, Snooki, David Arquette, Insane Clown Posse, Mr. T, et cetera. He’s actually good, a metaphorical student of the game. BB made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble in January 2021. He sang his song “Booker T” alongside the titular hall-of-famer, and later got into a fracas with the Miz, a wrestler who seemingly exists specifically for these types of projects. Their feud culminated with a match at WrestleMania 37 in Tampa, where he teamed with rising star Damien Priest to defeat the Miz and John Morrison in tag-team action. (Incidentally, at this year’s Wrestlemania Miz is teaming with the villainous Logan Paul to face Rey Mysterio — the greatest high-flyer of all time — and Mysterio’s son Dominick, so if Bad Bunny were to return to the ring, this would be a great time.) He is currently undefeated — 1–0 — in regular WWE matches. Hell, he’s already held a title, beating Akira Tozawa for the 24/7 Championship belt in February 2021 and holding it for a month. His was the 138th reign with a title that didn’t even exist until May 2019, so there’s that. In canon, Bad Bunny gave the title to the 24/7 GOAT himself, R-Truth, in exchange for some “Stone Cold” Steve Austin merchandise. We would have done exactly the same thing. Bad Bunny was widely praised by wrestlers and fans alike for the effort and preparation that he put into his ringwork, and the results rank in the upper tier of such endeavors. The one thing that everyone said about his work is that you can tell he’s a fan of the business. The musician even busted out a Canadian Destroyer on John Morrison outside the ring during his Mania match — no mean feat. Bad Bunny made multiple appearances on WWE television and social media in the weeks before and after the match, and was publicly endorsed by veteran icons like Mysterio, Triple H and even the Undertaker, who has gone so far as to introduce Bad Bunny at some of his concerts. Bad Bunny faced his toughest test as entrant No. 27 in this year’s Royal Rumble match. He lasted almost eight full minutes before encountering the eventual winner, one Brock Lesnar. That went just about the way you would expect, ultimately, but he did end up eliminating Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus, both of whom are former world champions. There’s no way that he would be allowed in the ring anywhere near Lesnar unless the company truly respected his hustle. Bad Bunny is not currently booked for WrestleMania at the end of the month, but with WWE trying to fill that stadium in Dallas for two nights in a row, it is entirely possible that he’ll be doing something there that weekend. If that’s the case, you can be sure that he is already prepared, as always. music@orlandoweek;y.com

Lavender Country: Patrick Haggerty, seated center PHOTO BY SARAH WAINWRIGHT

PURPLE REIGN Patrick Haggerty brings his Lavender Country ensemble to Florida, and not a second too soon BY ANTHON Y MAUSS

“T

he more I say, ‘Being a music star is a capitalist plot and I don’t want anything to do with it and it is riddled with contradictions that stink to high heaven and I have no desire to escape the working class,’ the more I say that … the more popular I become.” Lavender Country leader Patrick Haggerty has been expressing this sentiment for quite some time. Despite this, he has become (he insists accidentally) a music star. He has been many things throughout his long life, for most of his life — a father, a husband, an activist, an organizer and a selfdescribed “Screaming Marxist Bitch.” Performing, however problematic, has always been in his blood. Being bit of a “hambone,” as he says his siblings would

attest, has been intrinsic to his life. No shrinking violet, Haggerty ran for Seattle city council and Washington’s state House of Representatives in the 1980s before shifting into a more low-profile life of family and labor organizing. An album recorded and produced with help from Gay Community Social Services of Seattle in 1973 would eventually change all that. That album, Lavender Country, has become a piece of Americana music history worth noting. The first country album to express gay themes and same sex love put to vinyl, Lavender Country was an album created by and for a specific audience. When asked about his hopes for the project while recording, Haggerty replies, “Everybody had dreams, but everybody also had a grip on

reality. … We knew it had no commercial value. I don’t think that we expected it to do anything except reach the ears of the people doing the movement.” Which is how it existed for many years — until the onset of file sharing. Lavender Country first received the reissue treatment in 1999 and was later more concretely and seriously reissued in 2014. Haggerty found himself performing his songs “Come Out Singing” and “Crying These Cocksucking Tears” to an audience who weren’t even born at the time of their release. This is an experience that he says brought him renewed life and vigor as a performer. Haggerty earnestly insists that although he wrote these songs and things have definitely moved forward for the LGBTQIA+ community, the actuality of its history must be clearly expressed: “The important thing about making the album is that it was a gay community-sponsored Stonewall activist project.” The interest and curiosity spurred by the reissue led to the opportunity for Haggerty to record what he dubbed the second chapter of Lavender Country, the 2022 album Blackberry Rose. Comprised of new songs as well as some penned during the original 1973 recording sessions, it was once again a community effort with the help of original Lavender Country guitarist Robert Hammerstrum as well as Seattle musicians Jack Moriarty, Bobby Inocente and LoLo Marie. Blackberry Rose retains the DIY esthetic of Lavender Country’s debut while losing none of its immediacy and charm. Haggerty has never had the opportunity to perform live in Florida before and is excited for his three shows here — Gainesville, Tampa, Orlando — as part of the “Round Up” package tour of queer country artists. When speaking of his tourmates, Haggerty notes that politically they mirror each others’ views rather well and affirms that the tour is intrinsically political in nature. He seems a bit giddy when he mentions that they are “arriving at a perfect time” when Florida legislative policy is “as ridiculous as it is vicious. … It is of deep concern and is something that we have to respond to and fight with every tooth and nail that we have got,” Haggerty says. “Genetics isn’t governed by political decisions from Tallahassee.” At 78 years old, Haggerty is achieving his dream of being his best “Screaming Marxist Bitch” performing gay country, something which is not only possible in 2022 but is still sorely needed as a vehicle for social change. He closed our conversation with this statement: “You can call me an icon, but I would like everyone to remember all the other Stonewall activists who died unsung, who died of AIDS, who died heroic deaths fighting the good fight, who made as significant or more significant contributions than I did that nobody ever knew about. I’m not the only one. There were thousands of us, brilliant, really committed, dedicated proponents of real social change. … I’m wearing this glitter hat to foment revolution.” We suggest you put on your own glitter hat and mosey down to Will’s Pub this Friday when Lavender Country comes to town with tourmates Austin Lucas, Paisley Fields, Lizzy No, Maui Obomsawin and Jet Holden, along with locals Double First Cousins and Jordan Schneider.

LOCAL RELEASES

Tampa next-gen rap duo They Hate Change are breaking out big and, in a nice bit of sister city alliance, Orlando’s DJ GAY-Z figures prominently in their first major campaign. After they all shared a bill at Stonewall Bar in January 2020, a friendship was born. That bond is now officially creative in a highprofile way. As the lead single for their upcoming album, the just-released “From the Floor” is THC’s commanding debut on tastemaking indie label Jagjaguwar, and GAY-Z is featured on it. Around here, he’s best known for spinning, producing and owning one of the best monikers around. But on “From the Floor,” GAY-Z steps out from behind the tables and up to the mic to drop some Florida-style regulating, channeling the native spirit of mic checkers like Fort Lauderdale’s the Jam Pony Express DJs. In fact, that distinctly regional postmarking permeates the entire song, which is essentially a Miami bass jam refracted through a modern drum & bass lens. Even the video is a rainbow reboot of the classic party-rap video. Of the ascendant They Hate Change, GAY-Z says, “They’ve been a major inspiration and push for me, creatively.” And about their national emergence, he adds, “I’m proud as a friend and as a big ass fan. They’ve been killing it for years, though, so seeing them get uplifted and featured on these large platforms is really dope.” “From the Floor” now streams everywhere. They Hate Change’s forthcoming album Finally, New releases May 13.

Tampa next-gen rap duo They Hate Change have just released “From the Floor,” the first single from their upcoming album on tastemaking indie Jagjaguwar — and it features Orlando DJ and MC GAY-Z been happening in the underground. This limited tour is a great example and sampler of the queer country movement that’s been building long-overdue momentum. Leading this historical charge is pioneering gay country band Lavender Country, whose 1973 debut is widely considered country music’s first proudly out album. The touring bill is further stocked with Paisley Fields, Austin Lucas, Mali Obomsawin, Lizzie No and Jett Holden. Local representation will include Jordan Schneider and the surprising reunion of Double First Cousins, one of the most notable Orlando roots bands of the early 2000s. It’ll be an impressive parade that shows there’s so much more to queer country than just Lil Nas X. (9 p.m. Friday, March 25, Will’s Pub, $15)

penning songs recorded by artists like Trace Adkins, Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson, and Cody Jinks. Since emerging on his own, though, he’s been serving a classic country sound that walks the line between tradition and edge. (6 p.m. Saturday, March 26, The Social, $20) Punk for a Purpose: Organizing for a worthy cause is always noble, but doing it with good bands is righteous. That’s exactly what Orlando promoter Montgomery Drive is doing here for the Florida chapter of NOW (the National Organization for Women). The benefit event is a full-on rager with a strong five-band lineup featuring heaviness of all sorts from Jump Ramp, Weak, Zapachi, Dearest and Memento. There’ll also be a big raffle loaded with goodies from local independent vendors. Considering the backward social slide that’s beginning to happen right now from the Mount Olympus of our SCOTUS, we’re already coming from behind. So support causes like these wherever possible. (8 p.m. Saturday, March 27, Will’s Pub, $10)

Portrayal of Guilt, World Peace, Royal Graves, Gillian Carter: This studded lineup is a cross-section of heavy music that’s high quality and thrillingly diverse. With a sound that’s at once hard, grinding and screaming, Austin’s Portrayal of Guilt are as varied as they are extreme. The powerviolence punch of Oakland’s World Peace is so furiously concentrated that it seldom exceeds the 30-second mark on any given song. And with post-hardcore stars Gillian Carter Ward Davis: While it’s true that the modern Nashville establishment is a factory of and metalgaze contenders Royal Graves, local CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK The Round Up Tour: Of all genres, coun- lowest-common-denominator commercial support will be legit.

MARCH 23-29, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Carib people from Suriname quote their mysterious Snake Spirit as follows: “I am the force of the spirit of the lightning eel, the thunder ax, the stone. I am the force of the firefly; thunder and lightning have I created.” I realize that what I’m about to say may sound far-fetched, but I suspect you will have access to powers that are comparable to the Snake Spirit’s in the coming weeks. In fact, your state of being reminds me of how Aries poet Marge Piercy expressed her quests for inspiration: “When I work, I am pure as an angel tiger, and clear is my eye and hot my brain and silent all the whining grunting piglets of the appetites.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “It’s always too early to quit,” wrote cheerful author Norman Vincent Peale, who first popularized the idea of “positive thinking.” I’m an optimistic person myself, but I think his advice is excessively optimistic. On some occasions, it’s wise to withdraw your energy from a project or relationship you’ve been working on. Struggling to find relevance and redemption may reach a limit. Pushing ever onward might be fruitless and even harmful. However, I don’t think that now is one of those times for you, Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it is too early for you to quit. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “You can be as earnest and ridiculous as you need to be, if you don’t attempt it in isolation” — so says author Barbara Kingsolver. She adds, “The ridiculously earnest are known to travel in groups. And they are known to change the world.” In my view, this is perfect advice for you right now. If you and the members of your crew focus on coordinating your efforts, you could accomplish blazing amazements in the coming weeks. You may solve riddles that none of you has been able to decipher alone. You can synergize your efforts in such a way that everyone’s individual fate will be lifted up. CANCER (June 21-July 22): About 200 years ago, poet William Wordsworth wrote, “Every great and original writer must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished.” Now I’ve come up with a variation on that wisdom: “Every great and original soul must herself create the taste by which she is to be understood and appreciated.” That’s what I hope you will work on in the coming weeks, Cancerian: fostering an ambience in which you can be even better understood and appreciated. You now have extra power to teach people how to value you and get the best out of you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I hate housework!” complained comedian Joan Rivers. “You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all

over again.” I wish I could give you a sixmonth reprieve from having to attend to those chores, Leo. In fact, I’d love it if I could permanently authorize you to avoid all activities that distract you from thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures. But I’m afraid I can only exempt you from the nagging small stuff for just the next three weeks or so — four, tops. After that, you’ll have to do the dishes and make the beds again. But for the foreseeable future: Focus your energy on thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A British plumber named Kev Crane worked for weeks to install a new bathroom at a private home. As he toiled, he passed the time by singing his favorite songs. He didn’t know that the homeowner, Paul Conneally, was the owner of a music label. So he was surprised and delighted when Conneally offered him a deal to record an album in the label’s studio. There may be a comparable development in your life during the coming weeks, Virgo. You could be noticed in new ways for what you do well. Your secret or unknown talents may be discovered or revealed. You might get invitations to show more of who you really are. Be alert for such opportunities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s the start of the Listening Season for you Libras. I propose a full-on celebration of listening: a three-week period of Paying Close Attention to Important and Interesting Words Being Said in Your Vicinity. Make yourself a magnet for useful revelations. Be alert for the rich information that becomes available as you show the world you would love to know more of its secrets. For inspiration, read these quotes. No. 1: “You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.” — M. Scott Peck. No. 2: “Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.” — my friend Jenna. No. 3: “Listening is being able to be changed by the other person.” — Alan Alda. No. 4: “If you want to be listened to, you should put in time listening.” — Marge Piercy. No. 5: “Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold.” — Karl A. Menninger. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Worry doesn’t count as preparation,” writes author Lily Akerman. That sounds wise, but I don’t think it’s true in all cases. At its best, worrying may serve as a meditation that helps us analyze potential problems. It prompts us to imagine constructive actions we might take to forestall potential disruptions — and maybe even prevent them from erupting into actual disruptions. I bring

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MARCH 23-29, 2022 ● orlandoweekly.com

these thoughts to your attention, Scorpio, because now is an excellent time to engage in this kind of pondering. I declare the next three weeks to be your Season of Productive Worrying. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If I had my way, you’d be a connoisseur of kisses in the coming weeks. You’d make it your intention to expand your repertoire of kissing styles and ask willing partners to do the same. You would give and receive unwieldy kisses, brave kisses and mysterious kisses. You would explore foolish, sublime kisses and sincere but inscrutable kisses and awakening kisses that change the meaning of kisses altogether. Are you interested in pursuing this challenge? It will be best accomplished through unhurried, playful, luxurious efforts. There’s no goal except to have experimental fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days,” wrote author Flannery O’Connor. Her observation may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. And I’m offering it to you now, as you begin a phase when you can glean many new teachings about your childhood — insights that could prove handy for a long time to come. I encourage you to enjoy a deep dive into your memories of your young years. They have superb secrets to divulge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected,” said South African–British author William Plomer. I agree with that. And I’m pleased to let you know that in the coming weeks, you will have more of this power to connect than you’ve had in a long time. I hope you will use it to link your fortunes to influences that inspire you. I hope you will wield it to build bridges between parts of your world that have been separate or alienated until now. And I hope you will deploy your enhanced capacity for blending and joining as you weave at least one magnificent new creation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I use my intelligence to discover more ways of appreciating you,” Piscean author Anaïs Nin told her lover Henry Miller. In the coming weeks, I recommend you activate a similar ambition. Now is a time when you can enhance your close relationships with important allies by deepening your insight into them. What magic is at play within them that you haven’t fully recognized before? How could you better see and understand their mysteries? P.S.: You may be pleased when your deepening vision of them prompts them to extend the same favor toward you. freewillastrology.com

Welcome to kitten season! During “kitten season,” cats start reproducing and can have several litters during this time period. In most states, kitten season begins in spring and lasts until early winter, but in Florida, it can come close to all year long. During this time, Orange County Animal Services experiences a massive influx of intakes of kittens and mother cats. Underage kittens without their mothers are at high risk being brought into shelters due to the vulnerability of their health. We at OCAS are reaching out to our community early, before the season starts, for kitten fosters — to be specific, baby-bottle fosters. These kittens need around-the-clock feeding and care, and we need fosters willing to take on the work. If interested, please call OCAS at 407-836-3111. If you decide to adopt an already weaned kitten or cat instead, stop by the shelter to meet one of our adoption-ready felines. During the month of March, adopters will have the chance to test their luck by picking a leaf from a four-leaf clover at every adoption desk, with a chance to receive additional discounts of $5, $10, $15 or $20 for their lucky new furry friend. Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
