METROPOLIS Bastille Day Rally Focuses on Jail Deaths

Nearly 100 citizens “stormed” the Tarrant County Commissioners Court meeting to demand justice for inmates. B Y

On Bastille Day (Tuesday, July 14), nearly 100 North Texas residents, activists, and family members of the victims of systemic abuse and neglect at the Tarrant County Jail showed up to a routine Tarrant County Commissioners Court meeting and brought their grievances right to the political leaders. Bastille Day was when the French stormed the prisons and launched the revolution that led to democracy in that country, so today was highly symbolic. “Under the banner of ‘family values’ and ‘fiscal conservatism,’ ” spoke Sabrina Ball, leader of local group Indivisible TX12, “the extremists on this court have concentrated power while eroding accountability. They reshaped electoral maps to protect their political power. They champion policies that deny dignity and equal treatment to our community based on identity. They invoke their religious beliefs to justify public policy, and they continue to increase spending on ‘law and order’ while ignoring repeated failures inside the Tarrant County Jail that have cost lives and millions of taxpayer dollars. “Taken together,” she continued, “these are not isolated decisions. They reflect a governing philosophy that prioritizes control over accountability, ideology over equal rights, and political power over human dignity. They are not interested in responsible governance. They are interested in power.” Based on assorted data, Tarrant County Jail has three times the number of deaths than the national average. A candidate for district judge, Cindy Stormer believes that amount may be closer to seven times the national average depending on the “gray area” of these atrocious statistics.

James Johnson ( June 15), Carl McCray ( June 16), Mack Greer ( June 18) and Victor Runnels ( June 26). Internal investigations are underway, though Commissioner Alisa Simmons is demanding a deeper look. l

Static Easy, River I stopped paddling. I was content just to glide across along the translucent, aquamarine water. It was a sublime daydream. I caught my breath. My kayak was skimming along a blue-green ribbon of liquid ether, but my momentum had stopped. Though still heading downstream, a gentle breeze had slowed my progress, and I felt like I was falling back. It was a perfect metaphor for contemporary American life: being pulled backward upstream rather than moving with the natural flow. I started to dip the right blade of my oar into the water but held off, my kayak now frozen in the river. Sure, you have to struggle, and, in this case, paddle, move forward. It was bred into me. But what if I didn’t? My kayak might turn or list. My kayak might drift into reeds along the verdant bank or beach in the limestone, rocky shallows — but so what. Loafing has its virtues. Paddling hard, I’d made several mistakes over the years. I took forks that ended in stagnant pools. I several times toiled down narrowing waterways that left me stuck in intolerable shallows. I got caught in more than one confounding eddy. I was repeatedly capsized by rocks and dangerous rip currents. Some labors led me to dead ends that lasted minutes, hours, and, yes, even years. I used to have what football secondary coaches called “excellent recovery speed,” which translates to a capacity to accelerate quickly and recover from missteps or lack of

optimal position. Now, older, I’ve lost a step, but I see the field better. It’s never too late to right the proverbial ship. Dead ends are only dead ends if you refuse to turn around, paddle a different direction, or, more formally, chart a new course. It applies to life, love, and politics. And that’s where we are. I drifted for a moment, in my head as much as along the picturesque South Llano River. It suited me, but so did reaching the next bend in the river, next path across the water to navigate, and the next set of small rapids. I could hear the splashing din already. Funny, I’d been an infrequent or intermittent river rat for decades but never really recognized or reconciled myself with the pull of the river as clearly as I did in that moment. The cautious turtles, ducks, and riverine storks whom I’d often startled or raced by — now, I knew why they scattered. The journey is the thing, not the completion of it, time elapsed, or the arrival. An arrival is just another beginning. Life is discerning the depth and navigating the flow. Heraclitus was right over 2,500 years back. “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river, and he’s not the same man.” But once you’re on the water or making that journey, you can change the way you see it and how you ply it. Everything except us seems ready. — E.R. Bills

Matt Damon uses his bow and arrow to defend his men from Laestrygonian giants in The Odyssey.

performance because she’s heard it too many times in the 20 years that her husband has been away from Ithaca. Where the epic poem builds up anticipation about Odysseus by keeping the hero out of action at the start, this film indulges in a number of Nolan’s beloved framing devices, as Menelaus ( Jon Bernthal) tells part of the story to Telemachus (Tom Holland) while Odysseus himself tells another part of it to Calypso (Charlize Theron) after his memory starts to return. As you’ve probably intuited, you will need a multiplex’s biggest screen to properly appreciate the visuals here: the treacherous topography of the islands where Odysseus’ men set foot, the storms at sea that wash sailors overboard, the boat steering between Scylla and Charybdis, the battle with the Laestrygonians, the black sands of Hades where Odysseus faces the spirits of all the soldiers who died obeying his orders. Homer does not spare us the gore in his telling of the tale — surely readers recall the description of the blood jet spurting from Antinous’ nose when he’s shot with an arrow. I wish Nolan had followed suit. True, there’s a nicely gross moment when the cyclops (Bill Irwin) eats the soldiers, but the story would have been so much more powerful if we’d seen more blood during the sack of Troy, which is

withheld from us until near the end. In turn, that would have given greater sting to the appearance of the goddess Athena (Zendaya), who follows Odysseus around with an accusatory stare. The film is already rated R, so more violence would not have affected that. Nolan’s overly scrupulous approach does his movie no favors. Some of the actors do get swallowed up by the scale of this epic, but enough of the film does work on a human level to give many of them rewarding material, like when Odysseus talks to Circe (Samantha Morton), well aware that she’s more than just a lone farmer tending her pigs. Hathaway communicates the anger and loneliness lurking behind Penelope’s regal façade, John Leguizamo is unusually understated as the nearly blind shepherd Eumaeus, and Lupita Nyong’o pulls off an impressive double role as a regretful, facially mutilated Helen of Troy and a vindictive Clytemnestra who murders her husband Agamemnon (Benny Safdie) after he returns from the war. There is much talk here about Zeus’ law, a golden rule mandating that the rich give alms to the poor and homeowners give hospitality to travelers and people in need. While the cyclops violates that law because he recognizes no gods, it’s nothing compared to Odysseus’ trick with the

Trojan horse, a peace offering that carries the soldiers who will massacre Troy’s civilian population and burn down the city. In his disguise as a beggar, a haunted Odysseus tells Penelope that he “saw 10 years of rage pour into the city in one night. … We lived in palaces, trade, and language, and we were blind to its beauty until we broke it.” Because the Greeks violate the rules of fair play that they claim to believe in, Penelope’s suitors eat her out of house and home. They ambush Telemachus at a holy temple while dressed as priests, and civilization falls to piracy all across the islands. The state of the world mirrors Odysseus’ broken psyche, and the only way to mend it is to kill the fortune-hunting suitors and give up power. The Odyssey could have been a turgid and lifeless homework assignment. Because of Nolan’s angle into this ancient story, it becomes an engaging tale of the sort that Hollywood is uniquely suited to making. l The Odyssey Starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, based on Homer’s epic poem. Rated R.

fwweekly.com

There are other epics, but you can argue that Homer’s Odyssey is the epic of epics. Composed centuries before Christ — by a man? a woman? a group of people who gradually added to the poem over decades? — the 12,000-plus-line poem has fantastical creatures, strange lands, huge action set pieces, gods being really petty with one another, and a man trying to get back home to his family. It all begs for cinematic treatment, and other great filmmakers have turned the story into wildly different movies: Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaӓ of the Valley of the Wind, Theo Angelopoulos’ Ulysses’ Gaze, the Coen brothers’ O Brother, Where Art Thou? Now Christopher Nolan has adapted it into a 172-minute behemoth laden with A-list stars. It is a lot of a lot, and it is not free of flaws, but it is a cogent interpretation of the work. Odysseus (Matt Damon) stays away from his home for 20 years not because of eating lotuses or because Poseidon is pissed off at him but because the atrocities he committed during the Trojan War make him ashamed to be seen by his family. If that is a distinctly modern interpretation, it’s no less valid on that account in this film that earns its epic status. The movie opens with a nameless bard (played by the rapper Travis Scott) declaiming, “A prince, a fleet, a war, a man!” He’s preparing to sing about the Trojan War exploits of Odysseus, but Penelope (Anne Hathaway) scotches the

able to pressure their midfield and defense. They won the last World Cup thanks to some stellar play by their midfield of Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and Rodrigo de Paul, but both de Paul and Mac Allister fell off dramatically this past season. Argentina’s offense still gives them a puncher’s chance, especially if Coach Lionel Scaloni has gotten over his weird reluctance to start Julián Álvarez. (The Atlético Madrid striker gives Argentina’s offense a more powerful, physical presence, and you saw his quality in his magnificent strike to beat Switzerland.) I don’t like how unnecessarily tense Argentina made things against both Cape Verde and Egypt, and I prefer England’s balance of talent from back to front.

World Cup Update

C o u r t e s y Yo u Tu b e

It’s the Jude Is the Dude Jude Bellingham has come through big-time for England. Edition. B Y

K R I S T I A N

L I N

This past Tuesday, North Texas hosted its final World Cup match, and the likes of Javier Bardem and Timothée Chalamet watched Spain snuff out the mighty French offense and head to the final. By the time this article reaches you, we’ll likely know whether La Roja will be facing either Argentina or England in that last game. Let’s get to our questions. What is the “Mexican wave” that Fox’s British broadcasters keep talking about? It’s what foreigners call “The Wave.” Even though the celebration was invented in the early 1980s at college football games in Northern California, the rest of the world calls it the “Mexican wave” because they first saw Mexican crowds doing it at World Cup 1986. Why are we starting with that? Because now Norwegian fans have given us the “Viking row,” which came about late last year and exploded in popularity this summer as Norway reached the quarterfinals, especially after superstar striker Erling Haaland took part in it with his country’s fans. The celebration isn’t as electrifying as Iceland’s “Viking clap,” but it does look like a lot more fun to take part in, as well as visually pleasing.

What about England? Between France’s overwhelming force and Argentina’s narrow escapes, the Three Lions have flown under the radar, which is probably the best thing for them. Much of the press about England has been about Harry Kane for solid reasons, but people overlook the fact that Jude Bellingham has emerged as a stone-cold killer. The Real Madrid attacker scored both goals against Norway and two more in quick succession (what the British call a “quickfire double”) in the win over Mexico. Two years ago, he executed a wondrous bicycle kick goal to eliminate Slovakia at Euro 2024. The dude is clutch, and England’s fans serenaded him with — what else? — “Hey Jude.” Even though he’s facing another clutch guy in Lionel Messi in the semis, I wouldn’t lay money against him.

Why isn’t Kane a bigger star? The England striker certainly has the looks for stardom and has claimed many of his country’s goal-scoring records. He went quite a long time without winning a trophy but shed that particular gorilla from his back when he joined Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur. For all that, we’ve seen a lot more TV commercials in this World Cup with Messi (who doesn’t speak English) and Sir David Beckham (who retired in 2013). The New York Times figures Kane just isn’t interested in being a commercial pitchman. I say it’s fine that he’s focused on scoring goals and bringing that World Cup title back to England. Cozying up to Donald Trump, not so fine. What do you see happening in England’s semi against Argentina? All due respect to Argentina’s opponents, the South Americans haven’t run into anyone who have been

How did Spain beat the favored French? You hear “the best defense is a good offense,” and that is truer in soccer than it is in other sports. The Spanish midfield dominated possession in the early going and kept the ball away from France’s dangerous front line. Doughty France left-back Lucas Digne lost track of the speedy Lamine Yamal and kicked him in the penalty area while trying to control the ball. Mikel Oyarzabal converted the resulting penalty, and even the substitutions by France Coach Didier Deschamps couldn’t make a difference. Spain Coach Luis de la Fuente came in for much criticism because his team’s offense looked so stagnant aside from Yamal and super-sub Mikel Merino (who scored the match-winners against Portugal and Belgium), but he broke out exactly the right game plan in the semifinal. Les Bleus registered three shots on target for the game, and it didn’t even feel like that many. The Spanish defense is doing its part, too, with Pau Cubarsí showing poise beyond his 19 years. Whoever faces them in the final will have to do some serious thinking to prevail. How’s your mother’s health? She is back at home and slowly regaining strength thanks to a physical therapist. It is still problematic with her respiratory system, but she is much better than she was this time last week. l

J U LY 1 5 - 2 1 , 2 0 2 6

Bellingham’s first goal against Norway is controversial. What is it all about? Broadcasters and Norway’s bench saw Ørjan Nyland’s goal kick hit a cable over the pitch for the TV cameras. The ball then came down to Elliot Anderson, who assisted Bellingham on the equalizing goal just before the half. FIFA says that the microchip in the ball did not detect a change in the ball’s trajectory, therefore the goal should stand. Had the ball hit the wire, that would have taken away England’s goal. The rules state that if the ball strikes a foreign object on the pitch (or above it, in this case), play has to stop for a drop ball.

What does this have to do with beach balls? Everyone became aware of this rule during a 2009 game between Sunderland and Liverpool. A 16-yearold Liverpool fan threw a beach ball onto the pitch near Liverpool’s goal when the (soccer) ball was at the other end. The joke was on the kid, because a few seconds later, Sunderland launched a fast-breaking counterattack, and Darren Bent’s shot hit the beach ball before deflecting into Liverpool’s net. By rule, the goal should not have stood, but the referee was not aware of this and allowed the goal, which turned out to be the only marker in Sunderland’s 1-0 victory. The deflated ball is now in a soccer museum in Manchester, and Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher summed it up best: “Who takes a beach ball to the northeast [of England] in the middle of October?”

fwweekly.com

Is that why Haaland has become such a big star? It’s not just that. The Manchester City forward scored seven goals in five matches at the World Cup and possesses superhuman agility for someone so large (6’5” and 207 pounds), comparable only to Victor Wembanyama’s on the basketball court. He’s also a dorky goofball who came home from

America with a stuffed raccoon for some reason. He and Norway wound up losing to England in the Miami heat, but they captured a share of World Cup fans’ hearts.

What went wrong with Belgium? I wrote previously about how Belgium’s midfield of Youri Tielemans, André Onana, and Nicolas Raskin overwhelmed USA, but Onana was hurt during that game, then Tielemans got injured in the warm-ups for Belgium’s quarterfinal match against Spain. Coach Rudi “Resting Bitch Face” Garcia had little choice but to start Kevin de Bruyne for that game, and de Bruyne once again did the square root of hot garbage. Had the Red Devils enjoyed their full complement, they might have stood a chance against a Spain team whose possession was mostly sterile.

“I think with the World Cup being in the U.S., it has shaped a lot of Americans to like soccer more,” said Dallas resident Vito Jovanovic, “which is a really good thing because this country is typically more into other sports, and I think soccer is the most global sport, so bringing it to America is just a beautiful thing.” During the Spain/France semifinal, the area was painted various world colors. Fans cheered as the match unfolded. Attendees passed soccer balls back and forth with one another, played cards, sang songs, and took pictures, and the younger attendees played in the Sundance Square Plaza

Jetted Fountain while the match was going on. Juarez said, “Soccer is very unifying. It has been amazing to see all the people come from different countries and unite over a common idea, which is soccer. I’m sad the World Cup is coming to an end, but, honestly, this has been the best summer of my life, and I know there will be more watch parties here at Sundance Square for the final.” Sundance Square will screen the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19, at 2 p.m. Food trucks and vendors will be on-site, along with plenty of seating. l

With four large, different viewing screens in Sundance Square, plus food trucks, vendors, and more, there was a lot of action downtown during the last Texas match of the World Cup. The Spain/ France affair was really no different than the other 101 matches that had been streamed in Sundance Square for free over the course of the tournament. “I’m grateful for Sundance Square providing a space for fans to come together and watch the games,” said Fort Worth resident Alex Juarez. “I have been here for Mexico games, Colombia games, Spain games, [and] Argentina games, and it has been amazing just to watch people come and enjoy watching their country play. It has probably been one of the best experiences ever.” With ticket prices for the World Cup unaffordable for many soccer fans, free watch parties such as the one in Sundance Square have been vital for fans wanting to feel like they are still involved in all the action going down in North America this summer.

On the West Side back in the day (circa the mid-aughts), the only place nearby for a mouthwatering gyro was the Hulen Mall food court. Don’t laugh. That trash ruled. And perhaps still does — I wouldn’t know now because I moved from Arlington Heights to The Wall, a.k.a. North Fort Worth, 20 years ago and my nearest malls are gyro-free Alliance and Presidio.

West Side, and I don’t think they ever had a sturdy home there. Now they do. Open a little less than a year, Danny’s Greek Cafe is far from fancy, but the exterior is painted

the same vibrant blue as the peninsular country’s flag, so there’s that. I’ll skip the ambiance (intimate, cute, homey) and the service (crack), because, like me, you’re here for the food, and Danny’s delivers (metaphorically and literally — call 682-250-4334).

I haven’t had every gyro in town, but I’ve eaten a bunch. Of all of them, I can’t remember a better, heartier mélange of lamb/steak strips, zesty tzatziki sauce, and crisp veggies on super-soft pita than Danny’s. It’s so good, you might take the general concept of a gyro for granted. Don’t. Meat this tender, juicy, and flavorful isn’t always a given. And as cheap as it is, Danny’s traditional gyro demands repeated visits. Currently hungover and/or hungry-on-a-budget Westsiders, skip that Jack in the Box or Qdoba up the street. Danny’s is where it’s at. The entire menu is short and sweet.

Caesar, and gyro meat. There is a lamb chop plate ($22) plus two subs — meatball and Philly — and four dessert options (baklava, tiramisu, Italian cream cake, and cannoli). Along with assorted “pitas” (chicken, lamb, shrimp, and falafel gyros to go with the traditional), Danny’s offers rice bowls with the same proteins. The lamb bowl, sadly, was only so-so. While tasty, the meat and yellow rice were dry, and the side salad betrayed a stingy hand with the dressing. The menu says the dish includes chickpeas, but I counted exactly five in my bowl. Not that I’m complaining overall, but I am, because this whole ordeal cost $16. For a little more moolah, I could have ordered two of Danny’s much more toothsome, much more satisfying traditional gyros at $9 a pop. And while Danny’s hummus (creamy, not too garlicky and not drowning in olive oil) and stacked, fresh Greek salad with kickin’ dressing performed admirably, the lobster bisque insulted my taste buds, my eyes, and my soul. Though the menu advertises “chunks” of the crustacean, my cup arrived as a disappointingly chunk-free beverage of watery, neon-orange ketchup. Less than a mile down Camp Bowie, Lucille’s Stateside Bistro and their life-affirming lobster-bisque chef can sleep easily at night knowing Danny’s is no threat to the scandalously uncrowded lobster-bisque market. The fam and I are happy to add Danny’s to our short list of gyro stops. Byblos Mediterranean (1406 N Main St, Fort Worth, 817-625-9667), Moe’s Gyro (6600 North Fwy, Ste 108, Fort

When we find ourselves on or near the West Side, which is often — big fans of the nearby Cultural District here — Danny’s beckons. The cafe sits at the super-weird Bermuda Triangle of Camp Bowie Boulevard, Horne Street, and Locke Avenue. I may have run two red lights turning into the ample parking lot coming from the east. I’m not sure. Ten different stoplights point in 30 different directions there — just look

both ways before hitting that gas pedal! Formerly home to a 7-Eleven, then a Mr. Gatti’s Pizza, then something else, this spot has experienced a lot of turnover throughout the decades. The guy at the counter on our first visit told us he feels like Danny’s is here to stay. Business has been solid, he said, adding that his team has since opened a second location, this one in Forest Park, near TCU and, perhaps inconveniently, Greek House (2426 Forest Park Blvd, Fort Worth, 817-921-1473), home to some pretty dang good gyros themselves. Best of luck, Danny’s II.

Crosstown Sounds: ‘Here We Go Again”

the universal human experience: heartbreak, navigating family, the pain of loss, the search for identity, and finding the courage to carry on, timeless stories delivered sonically in the traditional variants of ska, reggae, and rocksteady with a modern twist from a group of musicians with over a century of combined experience as past and present members of North

Texas’ Rude King, No Questions Asked, The Pilfers, The Exceptions, Mr. Kingpin, and Informant. Here We Go Again explores the highs and lows of human existence and reflects on life’s repeating cycles, reminding us that even when we feel like we’re starting over, every experience leaves us changed. In “Good Enough,” the toll of trying to

meet someone’s ever-evolving expectations is explored over a driving, danceable beat. “Lazy Days” slows down the pace with a doo-wop melody and picks up the mood by appreciating the slow, little moments you have with the person who means the most to you. “Don’t Grow Up Too Fast,” paying homage to vintage Jamaican genres, is a heartfelt reminder to our children to be present and in the moment. The album ends with “If It’s Over,” a soulful slow-jam with dueling vocals from Vicki Tovar and Chris Casey. It captures the quiet heartbreak of realizing that love alone isn’t always enough to overcome life’s challenges, timing, or the paths people are meant to take. This sophomore release has been years in the making. Boss Riot hasn’t released music since before the lockdown. In that time, members have experienced surgeries, cancer, recovery, and losing loved ones. On this album, the artists have captured these moments that cause pause and reflection on one’s priorities with sincerity and sensational songwriting. Christopher Casey (keys, trombone) said the album is a collaborative piece of work with songwriting spearheaded by different members, which “keeps the album feeling fresh all the way through and helps individual songs shine on their own.” Lead vocalist Tovar added, “This isn’t a dark or heavy album. If anything, it’s about getting through hard times and finding reasons to celebrate.” Here We Go Again is ultimately a musical memoir of what it means to be a human being. l

Charley Crockett, Jack White, and our newspaper had quite the busy weekend. The Satanic doo-wop duo Twin Temple got dropped by one superstar and picked up by another due to some relegious/political stances. Editor Anthony Mariani has thoughts as well.

that around 58% of all Catholics (~40 million of ~70 million total) and 63% of Protestants (~38 million of ~60 million total) voted for him. That’s a lot of Jesus freaks out in the street, leaving behind barely a handful of Catholics and Protestants who follow Jesus truly instead of some diapered grifter. True Jesus lovers — and it’s either Him or Trump, no in-between there — are who Crockett’s going for, whether he knows it or not and whether super-stardom or busking beneath the shadows of the Frost Bank Tower on North Congress Avenue will result. It’s a brave, bold move, Charley’s, but also, I would argue, borderline anti-Christlike.

Former Irving resident Charley Crockett, who’s thrived as a superb vintage-Outlaw country singer-songwriter now based in Austin, basically said he’s OK with going back to busking, which was what he did before becoming regionally famous — and which is what he may be doing if he keeps adding to this flamewar between him and supporters of two Earthly disciples of the great Satan hisself (“red and scaly with a bifurcated tail” and carrying a hayfork). “FUCK TRUMP, FUCK EPSTEIN, BUT HAIL SATAN? NOT ME JACK” is what Crockett posted the other day before launching into a long explanation about his dumping Twin Temple from two dates on his tour. The married Satanic doo-wop duo from Los Angeles was set to open for him in Oregon and California last week before he gave them the “complicated cowboy” boot (thanks, snarky online commenters for that one). Big-time rockstar Jack White whipped out his phone, surfed to Instagram, and publicly asked Twin Temple to open for him in L.A. in September. “Unholy hell,” the duo replied online, “Sir Jack, you have no idea what this means to us. Lifelong fans.” Twin Temple’s streams, sales, and follows have since skyrocketed from the entire brouhaha. What Crockett is attempting here has never really been done before in popular music in the age of recrudescent fascism and MAGA evil: He may have alienated a large chunk of his fanbase — anti-Trump fans of solid, wholesome, smart C&W — while entreating that semi-mythical demographic: anti-Trump Christians like him. There’s not many of them. Despite the White House occupant’s crimes, documented moral failings, and overall terribleness — a non-churchgoer and adjudicated rapist with 34 felony counts who’s making billions off the presidency while gilding statues as American families struggle to afford gas and groceries — 2024 exit poll data found

Jesus welcomed everybody, as those “He Gets Us” ads stress, including — especially — sinners. The sins regularly committed by Satanists, according to The Satanic Temple’s Seven Fundamental Tenets, include dreadful stuff like acting with empathy toward all creatures, prevailing over unjust laws and institutions, making your own decisions about your body, respecting others, conforming beliefs to the best scientific understanding of the world, and more. Satanic Temple members do not actually worship Satan. They employ his red, scaly, bifurcated-tailed figure to represent rebellion against “arbitrary authority.” Based on some of Crockett’s nonstop posts about the fiasco, he intimates that Twin Temple’s schtick is just that: shock value for its own sake. That he can’t or won’t believe practicing Satanists exist and can be good at music means he either lives in a bubble (he doesn’t) or that he’s choosing to belittle them, which is not very Christlike. Estimates put the number of Satanists globally at around several hundred thousand. The number of married Satanic doo-wop duos sits at precisely 1. Twin Temple’s songs about sexing up Lucifer, partying in “Babalon,” bewitching susceptible lovers, burning Bibles, and practicing “Black Magick” go pretty hard in an Evil Dead-kind of way: clever, cheeky, and really well-performed. With their hollow, echoing production quality, they even sound like they were recorded 70 years ago. At their core, they’re all about freedom, living honestly, and loving thy neighbor all night long. Charley Crockett might enjoy Twin Temple’s catchy tunes if he set down the Bible he’s using as

Horsepowers is wrapping up their debut album with an aim to have it out at the end of summer. The last day of summer is on Sun, Sep 20, so be sure to ask them where the new record is if it hasn’t materialized by then! I kid, mostly, though listener enthusiasm is the fuel additive that keeps a local band’s engine running at peak performance, and I’m sure the band would be stoked about their fans bugging them about it. But you should also hope this album drops around that time because the songs’ lyrics, layers of angsty, arpeggiated jazz chords, and gorgeous, worn-out amplifier crunch are already making me anticipate that wistful, stretched-thin feeling that accompanies every afternoon between the end of September and whenever it gets cold again, when the angle of the sun seems to resign itself to its late-October fate, but it’s still fucking hot outside and the distance from the front door to the mailbox feels like a slog to the end of the Earth. Horsepowers’ debut sounds like the argument with yourself that launches that journey, despite a landscape of sunbaked, seasonal despair and the rock-bottom expectation that the mailbox is just full of bills and credit card offers. Very uplifting stuff ! Especially if you like Pavement, Comets on Fire, or contemplating how everything started versus how it’s going now.

Travails with Charley

Fun fact: My original draft of this column included nearly 600 words about Charley Crockett, piling on to the heap of shade — including from Editorin-Chief Anthony Mariani — that the Texas-born, New Orleans-and-elsewhere-bred busker-turnedcowboy-themed singer-songwriter found himself beneath after defiantly defending his decision to boot Satan-loving doo-wop duo Twin Temple from two opening slots on his upcoming tour. For several days, Crockett doubled down (as he is often wont to do) on his ideals and whatnot, then on Tuesday morning, when I went to see what he was “and another thing”-ing about (to flesh out my screed with the freshest update), I discovered he’d wiped his Instagram account. While his bio line still says he is “On the Hallelujah Trail,” he no longer has any content posted. Draw your own conclusions, I guess. Though I was pretty high on my own supply over some zingers about ol’ Charley — we get it, dude, you are as real as a fencepost made of petrified wood — I am going to err on the side of not kicking a man when he’s down. You had a rough week, Charley, but I hope you’re OK. l

Friendly and outgoing, and seemingly always onstage, Mack is perhaps best known for Gave Myself the Blues, his 2003 album produced by fellow Fort Worth bluesman James Hinkle. Mack is survived by his sister, Donna McWilliams. Mack played in dozens of regional groups throughout his life, for the past decade with Americana Fort Worth singer-songwriter Joe Savage, who recalled, “I met Johnny in 2014, and he was always supportive of younger artists, fun to be around, and could really light up a room from stage. People loved hearing Johnny sing and watching him perform. He was a unique individual and a living legend” Mack was born in Wichita, Kansas, and attended Wichita High School (class of 1976) then

He was a good friend, and we put a lot of miles on together, and I’m sorry to see him go.” Mack’s life will be celebrated with a musical gathering at Magnolia Motor Lounge on Thursday. Since Mack does not qualify for the county to pay for his cremation, Joe Savage has set up a GoFundMe at gofund.me/c2b76e065 to help pay Mack’s balance of $2,000. — Juan R. Govea
