LETTERS THE IRON LADY

HERE COME THE ASIMOV FANS FROM ELSEWHERE

In response to Randy LoBasso’s blog about state Rep. Brendan Boyle voting against the Pennsylvania legislature’s move to honor the late Margaret Thatcher:

More responses to PW’s petition to have a historical marker placed in West Philly where Isaac Asimov wrote his landmark Foundation trilogy:

Better question, why are Pennsylvania legislators even wasting time and taxpayer money debating such a ridiculous resolution anyhow? Is there some special connection between Thatcher and the state? Slow day in Harrisburg? I’m sure her family’s grief is unchanged because of this.

Asimov’s grandiose vision is a significantly important part of our cultural history. It’s likely his vision of a multi-solar community will be referenced still by those generations which will come to live around distant suns. CALVIN RAWLINGS Chelmsford, United Kingdom As a previous resident of Philly and long-time fan of Asimov, I feel that a dedication to such a prolific and important writer is a worthy gesture from a great city. DEREK BARTON Wilmington, Del.

CB via phillynow.com I guess the final result was as expected, but I must say that Rep. Brendan Boyle has the courage of conviction. One may like or dislike Maggie Thatcher but it’s difficult to deny the depth and influence of her policies. KRIS SHIPLEY via phillynow.com Kudos to my State Rep., Brendan Boyle, for standing up and telling the real story about this Northern Irish oppressing, union busting, Mandela-trashing hater. Death simply does not forgive one their trespasses, especially when they result in death from persecution and war as well

as suffering and destitution caused by her government. She was a modern day Queen Victoria, complete with the potato famine. JACK MALLOY via phillynow.com 48 PA state representatives have some stones? Who knew?

As someone who loves Philadelphia and views it as his adopted hometown, I would love nothing more than to see my city honor one of America’s most important 20th-century writers (of both fiction and nonfiction). MATTHEW APPLETON Broadlands, Va. Asimov should rightly be considered one of the most influential people of the 20th century. A plaque to honour him is a fairly tiny thing in comparison to his input.

WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... FILM

Filadelfia Film Festival

Unofficially kicking off a spring and early summer full of wonderfully diverse events and programs around the city, the second annual Filadelfia Latin American Film Festival begins this weekend, showcasing both short and full-length films at the International House, the Gershman Y and University of the Arts, sponsored in part by the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, Leeway Foundation, the Philadelphia Foundation, Congreso and others. Among its goals: showcasing Latin American and Latino filmmakers, fostering cross-cultural dialogues and celebrating the Latin American experience. Saturday afternoon’s schedule features several short films, including a 14-minute work put out by the Restaurant Opportunities Center, called Latino Restaurant Workers in the USA. ROC has worked on behalf of restaurant workers both locally and nationally and most recently took the helm in the fight for paid sick days in Philadelphia, which failed after being vetoed by Mayor Nutter for the second time in three years. The short film will highlight Latino workers in the restaurant industry and the trials they face due to low wages, lack of insurance and no sick days. A fair share of documentaries and features round out the full-length films, including the Sundance Film Festival favorite Violeta Went to Heaven, Andres Wood’s acclaimed 2011 biopic on Chilean folk singer/activist/artist Violeta Parra. Lemon tells the story of Lemon Andersen, a spoken word artist who struggled to free his family from poverty, eventually exposing that story via a one-man-show in New York City. (Anderson will participate in a post-screening Q&A with the audience.) In the Paraguayan thriller 7 Boxes, which will be shown both days, a 17-year-old boy is offered $100 to transport seven boxes of unknown content—and then things go remarkably wrong. Other fictional pieces include America, the story of a Latin American woman who escapes an abusive relationship in the Caribbean for New York City, only to be followed by the husband from whom she escaped. Check the festival’s website for dates, times and locations. / RANDY LOBASSO Sat. April 27 and Sun., April 28. $7-$9. Various times and locations. flaff.org

Dining Out For Life

POE TRY

Even though ActionAIDS’s development director Michael Byrne and his team are busy coordinating more than 150 restaurants in the Delaware Valley, he took a few minutes to give PW some specifics about Dining Out For Life and how it works: Restaurants across the region are donating 33 percent of their food sales for the day to much-needed services for thousands of men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS in the Delaware Valley, an effort, Byrne says, that “was created by an ActionAIDS volunteer 23 years ago.” Suffice it to say, you can make a huge difference in others’ lives by simply forgoing those cooking chores tonight and going out to patronize any number of participating eateries, many of which you probably already love. It’s an almost effortless way to give back to a community in need and simultaneously support local businesses striving to do good. Besides, people, “who doesn’t love to go out to eat?” Byrne asks rhetorically, recalling that very first Dining Out For Life fundraiser. “My friends and I jumped at the chance and had a great meal at Judy’s Cafe. It was packed, and you could feel love in the air. That feeling has not changed, in my heart, or in the restaurants that night. Everyone is out to make a difference. It is magical!” We agree. Wholeheartedly. / BILL CHENEVERT

B O O KS

Michael Pollan: “Cooked” Author Michael Pollan has been criticizing food for some time, but not in the velvety, salivationinspiring way PW’s Brian Freedman does it after visiting a favorite dining spot. Moreover, Pollan, who’s been named to Time’s “100 Most Influential People” list, has dedicated his intellectual writings—like his books The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals and In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto—to criticizing the production and business of food in modern society. In particular, Pollan’s 2006 Omnivore’s Dilemma focused on how agribusiness has lost touch with what he calls the natural cycles of farming, hitting on all those subjects that make us uncomfortable when a hankering for a Big Mac comes along (corn derivatives, high fructose corn syrup, factory farming) and argues that people in Washington, D.C., and on Wall Street are to blame for so much of our society’s nutritious aberrations. In his brand new book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation, Pollan goes back to basics—we’re talking really basic—learning to cook using the four classical elements—water, fire, air, earth—and creating dishes while apprenticing for several master chefs from around the world, including a North Carolina barbecue pit master, a celebrated baker and a chef from the acclaimed Chez Panisse in California. Pollan will be reading from Cooked, and a signed copy comes with the ticket price. / R.L. 7:30pm. $30. Free Library of Philadelphia, Central Branch. 1901 Vine St. freelibrary.org

FE STIVAL

Once again, the 2013 Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts will celebrate the end of its month-long season with an all-day extravaganza, consuming six blocks along the Avenue of the Arts and capturing all the mystery and magic of the festival’s “If You Had a Time Machine” theme. Here’s five reasons you may want to check it out: 1. It’s free! For absolutely no cost, you’ll enjoy an eclectic mix of live music, including the Brazilian beats of Philly Bloco and piping-hot jazz of the Blackbird Society Orchestra, as well as a variety of street performers—jugglers, acrobats, post-apocalyptic stilt-walkers and a 9-foot-tall robot. 2. It’ll be your last chance to walk through the Kimmel Center’s “Time Machine,” then spend several minutes trying to figure out what the hell it actually does. Seriously, does anyone get that thing? 3. You’ll get to discover new local eats and treats. Aside from carnival staples like cotton candy, hot dogs and ice cream, the diverse lineup of food vendors will be serving up practically every type of cuisine you can imagine. 4. There’s fun for the whole family. If you’ve got youngsters, this is the one event for them. After a ride on the Ferris wheel, kiddies can make their way through three elevated obstacle courses, then mingle with animatronic and puppet dinosaurs in the Dinosaur Petting Zoo. 5. Because everyone else you know probably is. The inaugural fair in 2011 attracted nearly 200,000 people. So do you really want to be that one schlub who doesn’t go then have to spend an entire year hearing about it until PIFA returns in 2015? / NICOLE FINKBINER

The early evening event kicks off with an hour-long Q&A with the Roots’ Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson hosted by Bruce Warren, XPN’s on-air host and program director. After some presentations by Rapgenius.com, Soulspazm Digital and theFUTURE.fm, they’ll let the performances rip. Before some climactic DJ sets, Khari Mateen will dazzle with cool production trips, Chris Powell of Man Man, who goes by Pow Pow sometimes, will dazzle the crowd with his electro-pop tricks, and then Lushlife brings his tech-savvy-assisted rap game to the mic as he tweaks samples, keyboard tones and beats. As if that weren’t enough, and if you’ve got a few dollars, now’d be the time to get a cocktail and let loose as Dave P (Making Time) and Illvibe’s DJ Phsh take control of the dancefloor.

Slum Village The Blockley has been reeling in some serious heavy-hitters from the history books of hip-hop this spring, and Slum Village is no exception—one of the finest and underrated rap products to come from Detroit, or, for that matter, from the ‘90s and early ‘00s. At the same time that Tribe Called Quest was bringing an intellectual and artistic style to the rap game, a scene long characterized by the gangster-leaning rap of the mid-’90s, Baatin, T3 and J Dilla came forward with their own unique style of production and rhymes. Friends for years, their chemistry was palpable; they’d been flowing at parties, in basements and living rooms, for ages. But with the baffling gifts Dilla brought to the studio, their ‘99 label debut, Fantastic, Vol. 2, earned them near-universal acclaim from within and outside the hip-hop community. On that first record, they got such luminaries as DJ Jazzy Jeff, Busta Rhymes, D’Angelo, Pete Rock and Q-Tip to visit the studio, artists Dilla would go on to produce in the years to come. Sadly, Dilla and Baatin are no longer with us. T3’s soldiered on with Dilla’s little brother, Illa J, and Young RJ, and with the magic of technology, they’ve continued to issue records in various lineups and even with posthumous verses and beats from Dilla. With Villa Manifesto, a 2010 release, all current and former members contribute in some fashion, and it’s strong. So there’s no telling what kind of setlist will get thrown down in U. City tonight, especially when physical presence won’t deny Dilla and Baatin the power to make your head bob. / B.C. 9pm. $12-$15.

In Gosnell’s Name Despite what some pundits claim, there was no media blackout to hush up the Kermit Gosnell murder trial. There is, however, a very real effort to twist one illegal clinic’s crimes into an excuse for undermining women’s access to safe, legal abortion.

BY TARA MURTHA tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com

he story of Kermit Gosnell has been unfolding in Philadelphia since 2010— yet some national writers who missed the story are suddenly, only now, paying attention. Recently, in response to a Twitter shame campaign ignited by a USA Today op-ed calling for the story to be on the front page, the writers who missed it (or perhaps more accurately, dismissed it) have snapped to attention. Unfortunately, rather than admitting their own biases and blind spots, they blamed a bogus conspiracy theory for keeping them in the dark. Gosnell, of course, is the 72-year-old doctor currently on trial in Philadelphia, charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar and seven infants. He is also charged with performing illegal late-term abortions (in Pennsylvania, the law prohibits abortions after 24 weeks), illegal prescribing of drugs and other charges. He could face the death penalty if convicted. Gosnell’s clinic was discovered by way of the alleged illegal drug distribution; it was the Drug Enforcement Agency that raided his West Philadelphia clinic in February 2010. After the raid, a grand jury spent the rest of the year interviewing 58 witnesses and published its findings in a January 2011 report. (You can read the whole report online at ph.ly/GosnellReport.) Philadelphia Weekly published the first of many articles exploring the Gosnell case in February 2011. Our coverage throughout 2011 and 2012 focused on Pennsylvania legislators who exploited the case in order to pass one of the strictest new regulations on abortion clinics in the country, which, as it was designed to do, shut some clinics down.

Legislators claimed the new regulations were drafted in response to the Gosnell case with women’s safety in mind. “This is about patient safety and preventing future cases of murder and infanticide within abortion clinics,” said state Rep. Matt Baker (R-Bradford/ Tioga counties). Here’s the reality: Bills like the one Pennsylvania passed—which mandates clinics must undergo prohibitively expensive architectural upgrades that have nothing to do with patient safety—have been pushed nationwide by Americans United for Life, a powerful pro-life lobbying group dedicated to chiseling away poor women’s access to abortion clinics through state-level legislation. Before Act 122, which requires clinics offering abortions to be licensed as ambulatory surgical facilities, was signed into law by Gov. Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania had 19 freestanding abortion clinics offering surgical abortion services. Now there are 13, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Many clinics simply could not afford the costly architectural changes as required under the new standard. Proponents of the new regulations—who notably include only religious organizations and no medical associations—say the law better protects patients from the Gosnells of the world. History, however, shows the opposite. Before Roe v. Wade ruled that states could not outlaw abortion altogether, women seeking abortions used to routinely endure the types of violence Gosnell allegedly inflicted on his victims—a fact documented by hospital records at the time. Forty years after Roe, abortion is still legal, but that legality does not guarantee access— specifically, for poor and working women. To wit: According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s 2010 report, 65 private physicians in Pennsylvania perform abortions. Anti-abortion activists focused on shutting down clinics aren’t actually stopping abortion; they’re just stopping poor and working women from accessing safe abortion. And that’s when those women go to the Gosnells of the world.

THE BOGUS “MEDIA BIAS” THEORY The recent surge of national attention to the Gosnell case comes not from pundits discovering any sudden new personal interest in reproductive healthcare—access to which is profoundly stratified by class and race—but in response to charges of a cover-up by a liberal media. “This story—which if nothing else suggests that live births do, in fact, happen during late-term abortions—upsets a particular narrative about the reality of certain types of abortion, and that reality isn’t something some pro-choice absolutists want to discuss,” wrote Jeffrey Goldberg of Bloomberg, after admitting he had not heard of the Gosnell case until the USA Today piece.

Give or take a few profound basic errors— Gosnell’s alleged crimes and grotesque methods are unheard of in medical literature and in no way reflect any type of regulated abortion, which an expert could have explained and which is clear in the grand jury report— Goldberg’s assertion that the so-called proabortion rights liberal media chose to hide the story is a premise endorsed by, mostly, the journalists who missed the story. It’s also demonstrably false. In fact, the opposite is true: Outside of Philadelphia and Harrisburg, most of the early coverage of Gosnell came from overtly pro-choice writers and outlets such as Amanda Marcotte and Slate, Katha Pollitt at The Nation and RH Reality Check. In other words, the indie media that are actually pro-abortion-rights liberals covered the case

Outside of Philly and Harrisburg, most of the early coverage of the Gosnell case came from pro-choice media like Slate, Katha Pollitt and RH Reality Check. even more than the mainstream corporate media that get labeled that way. The case was also covered across the spectrum of mainstream big media, such as The New York Times.The Associated Press has been filling daily reports from inside the courtroom. I would be more convinced of a big, bad monolithic liberal media monster if the story of an alleged drug trafficker who allegedly got away with maiming and murdering victims for years due to a complex web of government oversight failures hadn’t been dismissed as a “women’s issue” by the very writers who are now wondering why they missed—or, more accurately, dismissed— the big story. To wit: Slate politics writer Dave Weigel, after wondering why no one told him the story was important, admits that he read about Kermit Gosnell back in 2011, but he simply “didn’t see a political story to chase.” So which is a more likely explanation for mainstream national journalists who missed the Gosnell story until now: that a vast media conspiracy exists to condone an alleged murderer who kept severed fetal feet in jars for fun, or that mainstream national journalists function in an echo chamber, collectively obsessing over a single sensational story rather than responsibly covering all the topics that need covering?

Notably, many of the journalists who have emerged from said echo chamber wondering what happened are white males. Perhaps if reproductive healthcare wasn’t embraced as a religious issue on the right and dismissed as a “women’s issue” on the left, it would have received more national coverage. Though abortion as a buzzword is considered a redstate-vs.-blue-state hot-button issue and, in fact, was considered one of the most important issues of the 2012 presidential campaign, what the Gosnell media case reveals is that abortion in reality—specifically, the reality of what poor women’s bodies must endure when safe access is not ensured—is neither a red nor blue issue. It’s pink. Either way, the newfound interest in the case—whether disingenuous or not—comes way too late for Pennsylvania women.

From the beginning, Philadelphia Weekly has reported on how the Gosnell case has been willfully distorted by both the Pennsylvania Legislature and extreme social conservatives. (Which aren’t always mutually exclusive groups.) In the spring of 2011, I drove out to a church basement in West Chester on a Saturday morning to listen as Troy Newman of Operation Rescue—a radical anti-abortion group that has been linked to Scott Roeder, the convicted killer of Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas abortion provider—explained that he viewed Kermit Gosnell as an opportunity from God. That is, a media opportunity from God. This recent ginned-up faux controversy about liberal bias censoring Gosnell coverage is just another phase in the right’s messaging campaign, which, in reality, has kept hammering one specific lie over and over: that Kermit Gosnell was a typical abortion provider. Here’s their mangled logic: If Kermit Gosnell was a typical abortion provider, and Kermit Gosnell needed to be shut down, then, ergo, all healthcare clinics providing abortion need to be shut down. The underlying premise of that equation is the idea that, if clinics are all shut down, abortion will stop happening. Brilliant plan—except that both the hammer-home statement (that Gosnell was a typical abortion provider) and the premise (that abortion will stop when clinics are shut down or abortion is criminalized) are demonstrably false. From the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s 2010 report: Of the 36,778 abortions performed in Pennsylvania in 2010, there were 61 reports of complications. That’s it. If Gosnells are everywhere, where are all of these alleged murderers? Since Gosnell’s arrest, state employees have been aggressively inspecting Pennsylvania abortion clinics—so how are they missing all these other hypothetical criminals, or the fetal remains, or the drug trafficking?

The answer, of course, is that those “other Gosnells” are purely imaginary, and that Gosnell was a rogue actor who allegedly took advantage of authorities’ malignant indifference to the plight of poor women of color and the politicization of abortion that informed the state’s failure to enforce inspections for 17 years. “[Kermit Gosnell] happened because people weren’t doing their jobs, plain and simple,” Gov. Corbett told reporters in February 2011. Accordingly, he fired several state employees. The second falsehood in the right-wing campaign is that if abortion is criminalized or abortion clinics shut down, abortions will cease to happen. Abortion did not begin in 1973, when judges in Roe v. Wade ruled that a woman’s right to have an abortion was protected by the Constitution. Abortion has been a part of society since always—and, informed by centuries of British common law, was legal at the founding of this country. If Roe were to be knocked down, abortion would not suddenly become illegal throughout the country; what would emerge is a patchwork of access where it would be legal in states like New York but illegal, likely, in

The right has kept hammering one specific lie over and over: that Gosnell was a typical abortion provider. He was not. Gosnell’s alleged grotesque methods are unheard of in medical literature. states like Pennsylvania. Though Mitt Romney called for overturning Roe V. Wade last year, no one talked honestly about what a post-Roe world would actually look like. Experts estimate that abortion would become illegal in approximately 25 to 30 states. If that were to happen, women would still seek abortions, but the difference would be that rich women will be able to afford the expense of traveling to states where it is legal, and poor women would not. It would enshrine the two-tiered system of healthcare that, given the unprecedented number of state-level restrictions and subsequent

shrinking of abortion clinics, exists now unofficially: Rich ladies can have safe abortions, while poor ones are left to risk their lives on the black market. Both the criminalization of abortion and the shutting down of clinics creates a tiered system of discriminatory enforcement that, by design, preys on working and poor women, particularly those of color, who can afford neither an abortion from a private physician nor travel to a distant clinic. The data is backed up by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that, “from 1972 to 1974, the mortality rate due to illegal abortion for nonwhite women was 12 times that for white women.” In short, the laws of supply and demand make it clear that reducing access to safe, legal abortion will result in more illegal abortion providers committing the kinds of crimes of which Gosnell stands accused. To place the issue in a global context: Abortion rates are higher in countries where it is illegal. “Researchers found a link between higher abortion rates and regions with more restrictive legislation, such as in Latin America and Africa,” according to a CBS analysis of a report conducted by Guttmacher Institute and the World Health Organization. “They also found that 95 to 97 percent of abortions in those regions were unsafe.” They also concluded, unsurprisingly, that access to birth control reduced the number of abortions. That’s because poor women obtain birth control at clinics. Shutting down clinics just encourages more unwanted pregnancies, not fewer abortions. But that doesn’t matter to people like Troy Newman or the other right-wingers who see Gosnell as a media opportunity to push the agenda of criminalizing abortion and shutting down clinics. On Tues., April 16, I appeared on Huffington Post Live to discuss all this, and while it was kind of a disaster—I was asked the

wrong question and then Newman sucked up all the air time spreading untruths, with no time left to refute—it did serve to illustrate the right-wing’s Gosnell media strategy at play: Gin up a controversy the media loves to talk about (that is, itself and its own biases), grab the mic, then use it to bleat out allegations that are so preposterous, even the host actually laughs at you. “What happened in Gosnell’s clinic isn’t the norm,” says host Marc Lamont Hill, in response to Newman. “But it is, see that’s my point,” responds Newman. Lamont Hill struggles to stop Newman’s rant. “Are you suggesting,” Hill asks, “what happens in Gosnell’s clinic, babies being born alive and having their heads cut off, is the norm in clinics like Planned Parenthood?” “Yes, it is,” says Newman. Of course, it’s not. Someone affiliated with the show told me afterward that they’d been advised Newman was “a moderate.” Here’s a clue: If you have to consistently tell lies to get your point across, you have a bad point. One has to wonder: Never mind the liberal media—what about the conservatives? Where were they for the first 27 months after the Gosnell grand jury report was published? Here’s one answer: They were waiting till the ink was dry on the legislation they cynically, manipulatively hustled into law in Gosnell’s name. They fought the state legislature battle first—the media second. Politicians are happy to use the concept of abortion to gain political points and win votes, but they ignore the reality of the system they’re knowingly creating along the way—where the less money you have, the more you will suffer. n Follow PW’s updates on the Gosnell case on Twitter at @phillyweekly.

O L LO W I N G the 2010 raid on Kermit Gosnell’s medical practice, a year-long investigation—including interviews of 58 witnesses—culminated in a 281-page grand jury report published in January 2011. The report documents not only Gosnell’s alleged crimes, but how a lack of government oversight failed to stop them sooner. Here’s a timeline of events cited in the report, and what followed. Dec. 20, 1979: The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DoH) grants first approval for the Women’s Medical Society, operated by Kermit Gosnell, to provide abortions. Dec. 20, 1980: Approval expires.

August 1989: Next documented site review. Site reviewers recommend approval despite shoddy recordkeeping and lack of nursing staff, among other violations. March 1992: Next inspection. “There is nothing to suggest that these evaluators reviewed any patient files.” Nevertheless, evaluators Janice Staloski and Sara Telencio “inexplicably concluded that there were no deficiencies,” and DoH approved Gosnell’s clinic to continue to perform abortions.

nia—conducted by DoH until after the raid on Gosnell’s clinic in February 2010. July 23, 1993: Susan Mitchell recorded that the clinic’s deficiencies had been corrected despite no follow-up. 1996: An attorney informs state Home Health Division that “his client had suffered a perforated uterus, requiring a radical hysterectomy, as a result of Gosnell’s negligence.” 1996–1997: Dr. Don Schwarz, then a private practice physician (now Philadelphia’s health commissioner), hand-delivers a complaint to the DoH after noticing his patients contracted a sexually transmitted parasite after being referred to Gosnell’s practice, according to Schwarz. March 2000: 22-year-old Semika Shaw dies at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after being treated by Gosnell. December 2001: Former Gosnell employee Marcella Stanley Choung filed a complaint with the Department of State outlining his entire operation, including the alleged “pill mill.” Despite a follow-up interview on March 4, 2002, which included Choung’s testimony that Gosnell performed abortions on “underage children” against their will and that unlicensed employees were administering anesthesia, “No one asked to see the facility or the files.” 2003: Philadelphia Health Department’s Environmental Engineering Section failed to follow through on complaints about aborted fetuses stored in the employee refrigerator. April 29, 2004: A State Board of Medicine attorney recommends closing the case on Choung’s allegations. May 7, 2004: City health department inspector checks clinic based on awareness that Gosnell has no medical waste plan for biohazard disposal. Later, Schwarz tells the grand jury that the system was designed to make money. Aug. 2, 2005: Attorney William Newport of the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs is notified that Gosnell is not carrying liability insurance. According to the DoS, Gosnell was not insured at all between July 15, 2004, and April 18, 2005.

September 2005: An attorney for a victim called “Alice” sent a copy of a malpractice suit to the DoS that alleged that during a procedure, she convulsed, fell off the table and struck her head. Gosnell was not insured at the time of procedure. May 4, 2006: Board of Medicine attorney David Grubb recommends closing the “Alice” case without investigation or prosecution. His supervisor agrees. Nov. 11, 2006: Victim Dana Hayes alleges that Gosnell botched an abortion; recklessly tore her cervix, uterus and bowel; and locked her family

members out for four hours, refusing to call an ambulance as she bled. She filed a civil malpractice suit. The grand jury later found: “No one [at DoS] thought Ms. Hayes’ complaint was worth investigating.” Feb. 18, 2010: Agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency and detectives from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office execute search warrants at the Women’s Medical Society. Jan. 14, 2011: After interviewing 58 witnesses, the Philadelphia D.A.’s Office publishes a 281page grand jury report detailing graphic allegations against Kermit Gosnell. Feb. 9, 2011: Judge Renee Cardwell Hughes rules that the grand jury report is sufficient evidence to obviate a preliminary hearing. She also comments that given the packed courtroom and extra security, the court had to be “practically shut down” to accommodate the case. Feb. 15, 2011: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett announces sweeping changes, including the firing or resignation of seven state employees. “This doesn’t even rise to the level of government run amok,” said Corbett. “It was government not running at all.” April 26, 2011: Gosnell is “arraigned on an amended federal indictment charging him and three employees with selling prescriptions for almost a million pills containing the narcotic painkiller Oxycodone.” September 2011: Judge Benjamin Lerner rules that Gosnell’s employees will have to stand trial with him so that victims do not have to testify twice. April 2011: Gag order imposed on Gosnell case. June 19, 2012: Act 122, which requires abortion clinics in Pennsylvania to adhere to the same standards as ambulatory surgical facilities, goes into effect. March 18, 2013: The Gosnell trial begins. April 15, 2013: “A cadre of national reporters trooped into Judge Jeffrey Minehart’s courtroom,” Karen Heller reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Then the bombs exploded in Boston. By Tuesday, the out-of-town reporters were almost all gone, the story a one-day wonder.” April 19, 2013: The prosecution rests. An antiabortion rights group, the Susan B. Anthony List, says activists will now also leverage the Gosnell case to galvanize passage of “fetal pain” laws in addition to Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) laws. April 23, 2013: Judge Minehart throws out three of the seven first-degree murder charges against Gosnell, as well as five counts of corpse abuse and one count of infanticide. The remaining four first-degree murder charges could still result in the death penalty. / T.M.

Rocky We Know— Now, Remember Paulie It’s the ultimate Philly underdog movie. Now one man quests to get some love for the underdog’s underdog. By Tara Murtha // tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com

hiladelphia gadfly and life insurance enthusiast Tim McCloskey has recently taken it upon himself to correct what he sees as a big problem: While our fair city is (cartoonishly) well-known for Rocky Balboa, we entirely ignore Paulie. A modern man, McCloskey turned to the Internet to galvanize grassroots action. After kind-of-a-lot of clicking and and a meh amount of typing—the modern armchair activist’s blood, sweat and beers—McCloskey has created a Change.org petition calling on the City of Philadelphia to erect a statue of Burt Young at 2822 Rosehill St. in Kensington. As of press time, he had 33 supporters—but we keep refreshing the page. First question: Why? Yesterday was a nice spring day, and I saw a lot of pictures of Philadelphia on Facebook, Instragram, Twitter. So many of the pictures were of the Rocky statue. I thought, “Enough with Rocky already. Give us someone we can relate really to, like Paulie.” In his own words, he was a good man and nothing bothered him. Like any Philadelphians, he worked hard, but also drank too much, had a bad attitude and always made cynical comments. He also owned a robot. He was living the dream! I’m in my forties, and I remember watching the original Rocky movie in 1976 at the old Midway movie theater on Allegheny Avenue. It really was a transcendental experience. But it really went downhill with each film after that. Both Stallone and the character of Rocky became caricatures. But Paulie will always be one of us. Mickey, too. “You want to eat the bird? Go out in the alley and eat the bird!” Why 2822 Rosehill Street? What’s the significance? That’s where Paulie and Adrian lived in the first Rocky. That’s where Paulie throws the turkey into the alley on Thanksgiving. If it brings a few tourists into the Kenz, it’ll be a good thing. People will see the real

Philadelphia. As Paulie would say, I would like to see this done “instamatically.” Rocky really ceased to be one of us once he got popular, like Kobe Bryant. But Paulie will always have a warm spot in all of our hearts. “I don’t want nothin’ from you. I don’t want nothin’ from you. This ain’t no charity case. Get outta my house!” How long have you known this was the address? Forever? What’s there now? To be honest, I looked the address up online to be sure. But when the original movie came out, my father drove us around and showed us where all the Kensington scenes were shot. Rocky lived on Tusculum St. The gym and the pet shop were under the El on Front St. at Huntington. The bar was Thompson’s on the Hill, on B St. I remember it like it was yesterday. How do you intend to gain traction for the cause? Considering the current economy, and how long it is taking to get a Joe Frazier statue, I don’t see it ever happening. It’s a million-to-one shot. But isn’t that the whole point of the movie? You have to go the distance. I was going to ask you “WWPD?” but I see that you have already asked yourself that question. Last thought: What Paulie? Within Paulie’s world, there were many Paulie universes. What would he be doing in that moment? I actually met Burt Young once at Barney’s Beanery is Los Angeles. He’s a really nice guy. Above all, Paulie was a loyal friend to Rocky and good brother to Adrian. I’m sure he would do the right thing. If I can get this accomplished, my next project will be to get a statue of a legless Billy Ray Valentine in Rittenhouse Square. There aren’t many outsiders who have achieved “Honorary Philadelphian” status, and the short list is Toni Colette, Marky Mark and Burt Young. ■

FOOD & DRINK

Most Dynamic Duos If you’ve never experienced a great food-and-drink combination, now’s your chance. By Brian Freedman // bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com

eciding which beer or wine to order with dinner is often the most difficult decision you have to make over the course of a meal. But as long as you enjoy what’s in your glass and on your plate, the intricacies of the pairing aren’t all that important. Still, a great food-and-drink combination has the ability to lift each bite, and every sip, into the realm of the magical. Over the course of the next few months, restaurants all over the city will be hosting special meals that have been constructed with carefully chosen pairings in mind. And then, of course, there’s the annual beerchanal (it’s the completely made-up linguistic equivalent of a bacchanal, but with beer) known as Philly Beer Week (May 31-June 9), during which some of the top beers in the country and beyond are featured at restaurants and bars all over town. Before then, however, there’s plenty to take advantage of, like Davio’s gluten-free beer dinners. During the entire month of May, Davio’s, the standout Northern Italian steakhouse on 17th Street, will be offering a $55 three-course seasonal menu, each dish paired with a different selection from Magners and Redbridge. Start with a Caprese salad alongside Redbridge, move on to a seared jumbo sea scallop with Magners Original Apple, and finish up with a peach tarte Tatin and a Magners Pear. The Penfolds wine dinner at Del Frisco’s promises to be one of the great grape-based events of the year. Penfolds, one of Australia’s top wine producers, recently released its 2008 Grange Shiraz, an epic red that received 100 points in the Wine Advocate and will become available on May 2. One day before that, Del Frisco’s will host a $250 Penfolds dinner featuring this already legendary wine, in addition to other great bottlings from the producer, paired with an equally accomplished menu. If you attend, my recommendation is to not brush your teeth afterward: You’ll want to keep tasting that wine for as long as possible. Talula’s Garden on Washington Square will be continuing its stellar series of wine, beer and cheese producer dinners all spring and summer, and the lineup is fantastic. On June 4, Jean Broillet of Ardmore-based Tired Hands Brewing Company and owner Aimee Olexy will co-host a $125 dinner with a specially created menu by Chef Sean McPaul. There will also be dinners featuring cheese producers and winemakers, including a locavore wine dinner in July with Galer Estate and VaLa Vineyards, two of the best wine producers in the region. And keep an eye out for special wine happy hours and pairing dinners at Talula’s Daily when it opens in mid-July. Then there’s Philly Beer Week. After Mayor Nutter taps the inaugural keg on Friday, May 31, get ready for some epic pairing opportunities—starting that very night. Around 10 p.m., stop by Growlers on 8th and Fitzwater streets for tastings of cask, vintage and other special brew-tastic treats, many of them paired with food chosen specifically for the occasion. If you can’t wait that long, pre-game at Old City’s Victoria Freehouse starting at 4 p.m. with British beer tastings, each of them built on four imperial half-pints and paired with food. For some hair of the dog, start off your Saturday, June 1, in

Firkin awesome: Johnny Brenda’s beer brunch (above) and one at Memphis Taproom last year (below). (Photos by Stephen Lyford)

Fishtown at Johnny Brenda’s magnificently named “It’s a Firkin Riot” at noon, featuring a half-dozen firkins, meat pies and fish and chips. If that doesn’t cure your hangover, then stay in bed until the next morning, Sunday, and head on over to Eulogy in Old City at 11 a.m. for a coffee beer brunch. Frankly, this is a great way to start the weekend even if you’re not hungover. Just save room for the beer and sausage pairing by Chef Sean Magee at Center City’s Time later that night at 7:30 p.m., featuring the always excellent brews of Allagash. And, of course, there’s more—infinitely more—throughout the week. Details are starting to be filled in at a number of key venues around town and beyond. Keep checking phillybeerweek.org as the celebration draws closer. And maybe start running a few miles each day in preparation: The quicker your metabolism, the more beer and food you’ll be able to ingest. Which is a goal we all should share this time of year.  Not sure what kind of beer you like? Every day until the start of Philly Beer Week, we’ll be featuring a different style of brew and where you can get it. Visit philadelphiaweekly.com/drink for more info.

FOOD & DRINK / Recent Reviews

Tapestry

AMERICAN SARDINE BAR 1800 Federal St. 215.334.2336. americansardinebar.com Cuisine: American comfort. Eating here is a two-faced experience, both forward-looking and retro, a throwback to a time when comfort trumped detail, but of-the-moment in its occasional willingness to leap-frog convention and play in the sandbox of more modern flavor combinations. How else to explain the Frosted Flake-crusted and fried PB & J? It’s with the simpler constructs that ASB is at its most charming. Grilled cheese embodied the holy trinity of sensations for this Norman Rockwell construct. The bread had been perfectly crisped up in copious amounts of butter, the cheese tucked inside stretched from the teeth with each bite as if performing for a commercial, and the tomatoes, even out of season, brought enough acid to balance out the fattiness. Quintessential beer food. (Brian Freedman)

BAR FERDINAND 1030 N. Second St. 215.923.1313. barferdinand.com Cuisine: Spanish. A recent menu started with a single deep-cupped oyster—the magnificently named Shoregasm— anointed with a spiced apple granita. It worked as an hors d’oeuvre, a warm-up lap and a palatecleanser all at once, and was swiftly followed by house-cured salmon. Three velvety slices, subtle with the aromas of soft herbs like mint, basil, dill and cilantro, were each wrapped around a spray of pea shoots exploding from their ends like cartoon contrails on an animated comet. The accompanying horseradish crema was a nice traditional touch, if not a terribly necessary one. (B.F.)

BLUE BELLY BBQ 600 Catherine St. 215.238.0615. bluebellybbq.com Cuisine: Multi-regional barbeque. The menu at Blue Belly takes us on a barbecue flavor odyssey through Korea, St. Louis, Jamaica,

Mexico and more. For all that, it’s a simple and affordable lineup, broken up into sandwiches, smoked meats and sides: It’s all so easy to navigate and makes grabbing a quick sandwich on the way home from work very simple. Standing at the pinnacle of the sandwich menu is the Korean beef sandwich; the meat is tender, juicy and full of sweet and savory flavor. Delightfully sour kimchi mixes with sweet pear ginger vinaigrette, threatening to reinvent your concept of what’s fundamental to the palate. (Cristina Perachio)

HAWTHORNES CAFE 728 S. 11th St. 215.627.36012. hawthornescafe.com Cuisine: Deceptively ambitious American. The weekend brunch at Hawthornes finds a delicate balance between the sort of morning comfort most of us require, and a kind of flavor-driven ambition that sets it apart. French toast—really more of a thrice-cooked bread pudding—is a standout. Tucked inside the crisp edges is a dense-yet-light center that’s silky with a bit of every sort of bread the kitchen uses here: brioche, challah, multigrain and more. It’s hearty and elegant all at once, and calls out for a side of some sort of meat. A recent pancake special—there’s a new one every week—saw the flapjacks bright with Meyer lemon’s perfume and topped by a beautifully turned out blueberry compote, its own sweetness tempered by vanilla- and almond-scented cream cheese. (B.F.)

M KEE 1002 Race St. 215.238.8883. Cuisine: Wide-ranging Chinese. M Kee is the kind of place you root for: The service couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating, and the restaurant itself, with its cheery orange accents and uniforms, is welcoming. The highlights are probably what you’d expect—they’re hanging right in the window. Excellently named “roast pig” is just that: Tender rectangles of remarkably “porky” pork,

each resting beneath a layer of cracker-crisp skin that’s a beautifully deep shade of mahogany. Order too much of this and bring it home. It’ll make an amazing next-day snack. (B.F.)

scented pork-leg ragu, all succulent and denseflavored. Rosemary cake with a lemon-zipped ricotta marching across the plate justified bringing a bottle of good Moscato d’Asti to pop. (B.F.)

TAPESTRY

VEDGE

700 S. Fifth St. 215.923.1620. tapestryphilly.com Cuisine: American casual. At Tapestry, you really can’t go wrong with a brew and almost anything fried. Order a Ballast Point Piper Down Scottish-style ale from California and tear into a plate of fried chicken, a salty, dizzyingly crispy, thick-crusted plateful that’s among the better versions in the city right now. The vegetarian chili is also a standout: the pinto, cannellini, red kidney and black beans are all relatively toothsome despite the fact that they’re canned, and the sweetness of paprika and cooked-down tomatoes lend it contrast. Pizzas are generally a solid go-to as well with their leopard-spotted and yeasty crusts. With a few tweaks here and there, Tapestry will reach its potential and do the very pleasant space justice. In the meantime, stop by, check out the new brews and tear into that fried chicken. (B.F.)

Vedge does more to bridge the chasm between the artificially distant worlds of the omnivore and the vegan than any restaurant I’ve ever visited. Grilled gochujang tofu boasts three (three!) separate rounds of marinating and arrives in a shallow pool of smoked miso dashi, crowned by a translucent lace of yuba “cracklin,” and accompanied by an edamame puree: soy beans four ways, each of them remarkable. Roasted golden beats are layered on pumpernickel with smoked tofu, avocado, capers and a cucumber dill sauce to perfectly embody the satisfying richness of a smoked salmon sandwich. (B.F.)

STAGE CONGRATULATES April’s featured mixologist

Fine Art in Black-and-White Ten years after its debut, InterAct Theater Company’s Permanent Collection still hits home. By J. Cooper Robb // jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com

ost productions aren’t as good the second time around, but director Seth Rozin’s staging of the marvelous drama Permanent Collection is even more enjoyable than when it debuted a decade ago. The biggest selling production in InterAct Theatre Company’s 25-year history, Collection is inspired by events connected to the direction of the Barnes Foundation, which playwright Thomas Gibbons’ uses to examine myriad issues, including the very touchy subject of race. The action is set almost entirely at the suburban mansion that houses the jaw-dropping collection of art assembled by the deceased collector Dr. Morris (Tom McCarthy). Cantankerous and opinionated, Dr. Morris—clearly modeled after the Barnes Foundation’s founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes—has a fondness for great art and a general disdain for most art institutions, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art (which, at one point, is referred to as a den of prostitution for its alleged emphasis on commerce rather than art). In his will, Dr. Morris puts the priceless art collection in the hands of a predominantly African-American college. The institution puts one of its trustees in charge of guiding the foundation, a sharp-dressed businessman with the impressive name of Sterling North (Frank X). Upon his arrival, North is given a tour of the museum by Paul Barrow (Tim Moyer), its longtime education director. However, while its walls are crammed with priceless works from Monet, Cezanne, Renoir and other masters, a number of the museum’s works tucked away in storage are the ones that capture North’s attention. There, in the building’s basement, he discovers superb pieces from Africa, and, unlike the European masterpieces on display upstairs, the names of the artists who created them are unknown. When North proposes displaying a few of the African works alongside the masterpieces in the gallery, Barrow balks, arguing that any alterations would disrupt “the order” of the collection; in his will, Dr. Morris insisted the paintings’ placement remain

unaltered. North nonetheless considers the lack of African art on display to be a product of racism and takes legal action to have the will changed. When Barrow objects, North accuses him of being a racist, an accusation that Barrow quickly and angrily denies. “The issue is not race; the issue is art,” Barrow replies. To North, however, everything is about race. What follows is a fascinating examination of perception or, as one character puts it, “what we see and how we see.” To Barrow, the collection of fabulous art has the ability “to make you a better person,” while to North, the works simply display another example of discrimination in which white artists are celebrated, and the genius of black artists is exiled to the basement storage facility, remaining unseen by the public. Impeccably directed by Rozin and featuring a spectacularly nuanced and thoughtful performance by Frank X, Permanent Collection is also buoyed by

strong performances from Moyer, Maureen Torsney-Weir as a local reporter and Lynnette R. Freeman, who is terrific as North’s young assistant. In addition, Nick Embree’s set is effective in its recreation of the main room at the Barnes Museum’s old home in Merion, PA— his design even includes copies of the paintings that adorn the walls—and Peter Whinnery’s evocative lighting brings the paintings to life in creative fashion. Gibbons once remarked that Permanent Collection asks, “Who decides what hangs on a museum wall, and on what basis do they make their decision?” That, however, is only part of the debate. Perhaps more importantly, the play reveals our inability to discuss race honestly and openly, exploring the upheaval that occurs when the forces of change go toe-to-toe with guardians of the status quo.  Through May 5. $28-$35.

APRIL’S FEATURED MIXOLOGIST MICHAEL J. SPANGLER II FOR MICHAEL J. SPANGLER II, bartending in Philly means working in a city with a Manhattan flavor but on a smaller scale, giving him the opportunity to build personal relationships with people. That’s why, even now that he’s got a career as a full-time engineer, he still keeps up his old college bartending gig, working part-time at Butcher & Singer. Spangler serves an array of cocktails and drinks such as the signature Butcher

Manhattan or the ever-popular rye whiskey. “We use a lot of artisanal bitters here—our signature drink incorporates Aztec Chocolate Bitters,” says Spangler. All he needs are some open and receptive customers to try them. This month’s featured cocktail, the Hibiskus Daisy, was originally created in honor of the 2013 Philadelphia Flower Show—but it’s still available to interested patrons.

The Angels’ Share Has More Than Enough Laughs Ken Loach’s latest Scottish romp is a real crowd-pleaser— silly, crude and unexpectedly disarming. Former N.Y.C. mayor Ed Koch in Koch

Neil Barsky’s Koch Keeps It Light New York’s iconic mayor gets a documentary love letter.

ere’s to the loudmouth mayor of New York City, who served three terms and died at the age of 88 just a few days before this movie was released in The Big Apple this past February. Ed Koch was a consummate ham and a bit of scoundrel. Neil Barsky’s documentary, Koch, tries to pay tribute to both. It gets the first part right. “How’m I doin?” Koch always asked constituents, but he never seemed particularly interested in hearing an answer. He was a tough guy who shot his mouth off an awful lot, symbolizing 1980s New York City for this Boston kid who dreamed of someday living in a place where if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere (though I must admit I sometimes mistook Ed Koch for Frank Perdue during the commercials on WPIX while spending summers at my grandfather’s house in Schenectady). Koch walked into a nightmare, elected when the city was bankrupt, and I must admit a weird fondness for those graffiti-strewn subway trains and quasi-apocalyptic vistas of urban blight. That’s what always felt like New York to me. Barsky’s movie makes a considerable case for Koch masterminding the development deals which, in the past couple decades, turned Times Square into the world’s largest theme park for tourists. There’s even a sequence when the former mayor glides through what has now become a neon Applebee’s wasteland in a limo, somberly acknowledging: “I’ve never been to Red Lobster.” Barksy is a former journalist, so he hits enough points to make the movie work and only occasionally holds his subject’s feet to the fire. Most of the time, Koch is content to present Da Mayor as a doddering, always-hilarious old fogey who loves the camera. The entire movie is framed around re-naming the Queensboro Bridge in his honor, and boy howdy, does Ed enjoy that. If you happen to be black or queer, this sort of hagiography will probably just be appalling. Skirting issues of his sexuality with a very polite “none of your fucking business,” Koch avoids talking about the AIDS crisis, racial unrest or really anything that made New York New York during his reign in the 1980s. Although, up until the end, he did still love to make fun of the Cuomos. Koch is a glossy overview of a time and a place that’s probably unique in American culture, one that captured this boy’s imagination. (Sean Burns)

By Sean Burns // sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

en Loach is not known for his sense of humor. Year after year, with tireless dedication, he puts out marvelous movies that I never want to watch more than once. Always despondence and desolation, typically filmed in Glasgow, where the accents are so thick, the movies arrive here with subtitles even though they are ostensibly in English. (I can’t make out a word of them.) Loach’s universe is one of petty domestic abusers and small-time crooks, photographed in an artless vacuum of staid camera placement and ugly backgrounds. The Angels’ Share is different. It might be the first Ken Loach movie you could call “jaunty.” That stupid Proclaimers song that served as such a ubiquitous earworm during the 1990s plays here more than once during wacky comedic montages, and then again at the end. I normally would walk 500 miles just to get away from that tune, but it kind of works here. It’s the typical Loach Glaswegian miserablism with a fairytale Ocean’s Eleven twist. The tone is set straight off with Gary Maitland’s nudnick sidekick stumbling onto the train tracks wasted on cheap wine, while the transit announcer finds all sorts of new applications for the cword ordering him over a loudspeaker to get himself to safety. (“This is God speaking. Get off the fookin’ tracks.”) We soon fall in with a rag-tag band of fuckups, assigned to community service detail in lieu of prison sentences. They’re lorded over by Big Harry (John Henshaw, channeling the ghost of Brendan Gleeson, even though the latter isn’t dead yet). They’re all busy painting over community rec centers and picking up litter when suddenly, he takes them on a field trip to Edinburgh. For a whiskey conference. The delicacies and intricacies of good Scotch come into play here, and out of nowhere, a young street hoodlum named Robbie, played by Paul Brannigan, becomes an instant expert, demonstrating a nose for casks that awes even those snobs at the tastings.

Here comes trouble: The Angels’ Share stars (from left) Jasmin Riggins, Gary Maitland, Paul Brannigan and William Ruane as offenders assigned to community service in Glasgow.

He’s not doing well. In fact, he seems to live in other miserable Loach films from which this is designed as a vacation. In and out of jail, he just knocked up his girlfriend, and now her dad and his pals are just gonna beat the crap out of him on a regular basis until he skedaddles out of town with the five grand they’re offering to stay out of the child’s life. Robbie’s run out of options. But there’s always whiskey. And when an ancient barrel of a priceless blend goes up for auction somewhere up in the highlands, our hero figures out how to swipe it. This is a very funny movie, which was entirely unexpected. It becomes a bit of a lark, as George Fenton’s tacky, intrusive score takes a turn for ‘80s synthesizer-heavy goofballery, and you might wonder if Loach has lost his marbles. He’s got one foot in kitchen sink poverty drama and the other in a wacky heist picture. It shouldn’t work as well as it does. The title refers to the amount of whiskey that evaporates in a cask, and Loach sure puts that punchline to use. I loved Maitland—so drunk all the time, he doesn’t know what year it even is and has a hilarious adverse reaction to the fabric of kilt rubbing up against his nether regions. The gang is rounded out with a kleptomaniac named Mo,

one toothless wonder and Brannigan’s Robbie, who transforms into a leading man before our very eyes. Whiskey expert Charlie MacLean sort of plays himself, and there is no small shortage of jokes at the expense of a buffoonish American millionaire wearing a Boston Red Sox cap. But Brannigan stands tall, coming into himself and masterminding his group of doofy layabouts with a command that turns from wormy to movie-starrish within the later reels. It’s a terrific performance. Sure, it’s a silly film, and with a few of the rougher edges sanded down— and several hundred c-words dubbed over—it might be the kind of thing you could picture Miramax releasing back in the ‘80s. The Angels’ Share is a real crowd-pleaser, crude and unexpectedly disarming. Loach, at 76 years old, had to lighten up at some point—even though I hate him for getting that Proclaimers song stuck in my head again. 

MUSIC

DJ Spinderella

Three Times Dope DJs Spinderella, Rich Medina and Cash Money are set to rock “The Art of Turntables.”

here’s this funny little reality show on VH1 that used to be on BET called Master of the Mix. It’s a DJ competition in which DJs from around the country, popular in their small pond, come to play short sets and get read by Kid Capri. It’s kind of fun. Mostly because, as a pop culture addict, it’s fascinating to watch these “DJs” try to pull off a whole act. Some rely on a schtick—the party boy, the hype girl, the trickster, the scratch master, the mood setter. And some just love music so much that their wealth of knowledge, history in the game and crates of hot tunes make them great party starters. At least that could be said of the three DJs—Spinderella, Cash Money and Rich Medina—who are going to turn out “The Art of Turntables” on Friday night, and fortunately, a lot more could be said of them, too. Oh, yeah: Medina was on Season One of Master of the Mix (He didn’t win.). If you’re looking for a place to dance in Philadelphia, for me, it’s all about the funk. There’s a Making Time-satisfied stretch of folks lookin’ to get down to techno, house, trance and dubstep (Goddamn that Skrillex). And those people should stay away from the Blockley as this tony trio steps to the decks. Because this party is about soul—the soul that radiates from classic hip-hop (like Spin’s ex-group, Salt ‘n Pepa), old-school funk and R&B and even—thanks mostly to Medina—Afrobeat and Latin flavors. This is the music that will make you lose control, put down your drink, run to the floor and, most importantly, sweat. In an age where DJs often rely on technology, perhaps a little too much, employing iPods, laptops and, yes, iPads, these three are not those DJs. These are legendary, worldfamous, Grammy Award-collecting DJs, steeped in the art of party-rocking: the transition, the scratch, the blend, the sample steal, and most importantly, song choice. This is one jam that’ll satisfy the club freaker and hip-hop head alike, all of whom cherish that moment when a song gets played that they’ve been waiting for. You know. That moment where your jaw drops, your arms go up, and you look to your friend, who already knows what you’re thinking: They played that song. And then it’s on. (Bill Chenevert) Fri., April 26. 9pm. $20-$25. With host Monie Love. The Blockley, 3801 Chestnut St. theblockley.com

Fearsome foursome: The Dillinger Escape Plan members (from left) Greg Puciato, Billy Rymer, Ben Weinman and Liam Wilson.

DEP Gets Better With Time The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Liam Wilson spills on the band’s “special and unique” chemistry, upcoming LP—and its secret weapon. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

ith their fourth LP, 2010’s Option Paralysis, the Dillinger Escape Plan cemented themselves in an elite class of metal monsters. With company like Mastadon, Isis, Converge and the Deftones, DEP is chugging along as one of the most brutal and towering titans of that magical mixture of metal, punk, thrash and noise. Their fifth, One of Us Is the Killer, is due in a few weeks, and boy, are we excited about it. Little known secret: They’re pretty local. The band was formed in Morris Plains, N.J., but collects its members from around the country, and DEP’s bassist, Liam Wilson, calls Philadelphia home. We snagged some time from him before the tour really starts gaining momentum and careens through Philadelphia’s Union Transfer on the 26th. PW: Liam! Where are you? The tour kicks off in Massachusetts on the 20th? Is that right? Wilson: At this very moment, I’m sitting on the parked bus somewhere in the suburbs of New Jersey. Last night was the first of six weeks of shows, and our first show in about six months. We’ve got a day off to rest our necks from all the cathartic head-banging and body thrashing abuse (aka our “bang-overs”) before we roll through Lancaster, Pa., tomorrow. What can be expected from this new one? One of Us is the Killer—what a title! Can you expand on the meaning of the title a little? Fans can expect a more twisted, yet fully focused dose of Dillinger. There’s an unhinged vibe to this one. The attitude has a certain rawness I don’t think we’ve been able to fully articulate until now. I don’t think we’ve ever all been on the same page as much as we are now regarding how all things related to how this band should sound, feel and look—from the music to the artwork, videos, etc. The title comes from a lyric from what became the title track and is a response to co-dependent relationships.

While there’ve been a handful of former members, you, Ben (Weinman) and Greg (Puciato) have been together for more than a decade. Do you feel a certain level of communion with your bandmates? How’s it been with Billy Rymer drumming? I think the reality of how long the three of us have been “in a relationship”—and how complicated—it is, really hit us while we were writing and recording this one. In some ways, we’ve all taken different personal paths and become more individualistic as people during the last record cycle, and those individual adventures have given us new outlooks on our places in this band and the band’s place in our lives. When we record, those respective lanes intersect in undeniably profound ways, and now that the record is done, and we can all reflect back on the product of those journeys, it’s obvious how special and unique our chemistry truly is. That said, Billy is our secret weapon, so that’s all I’m at liberty to reveal about him. I saw that video on the DEP homepage in Australia of a table floating around the crowd and Greg climbing on it. Damn. I knew a show like yours’d be intense, but do you expect that kind of energy at UT? That’d be nuts. I think the ceiling for most other bands is what we consider our floor when it comes to live performances. That’s where the spirit of the music truly comes alive and possesses us, and that’s when the whole thing comes into focus and justifies itself. Unlike a lot of our peers who are showing their age, I feel like our performances are getting more intense and unpredictable as the years wear on, with our old fans suspending their disbelief of what they’ve always thought we were and expected us to be colliding with a new generation of fans reacting to something we’re positive they’ve never seen before at the high-level that we’re delivering it.  Fri., April 26. 6:45pm.

30-SECOND REVIEWS

ON THE RECORD MAJOR LAZER

ON THE IDIOT BOX

ON THE GUEST LIST

Free The Universe (Secretly Canadian/Mad Decent) Sounds like: It’s here! And it’s a little flat. The much-anticipated sophomore from Diplo’s dancehall project sees new personnel and a slew of bizarre guests. Free association: There are a few keepers, but nary a “Pon de Floor” in sight. For fans of: Dirty Projectors/Vampire Weekend x Jamaica, twerking, Mary Jane. (Bill Chenevert)

LAURA MVULA Sing to the Moon (Columbia) Sounds like: Last month’s eye-opening debut from an exciting new London talent, a soulful and capable vocalist who deftly uses handclaps, orchestration and wit. Free association: London soul yields some of the most exciting new artists ever. For fans of: Amy Winehouse/Estelle x Lianne La Havas, brilliant young talent. (B.C.)

LUNA THEATER’S “FUTUREFEST”

THE THERMALS Desperate Ground (Saddle Creek) Sounds like: The sixth from the Portland power-punk lite trio does revisit the former thrashier records we love, but they just don’t have the same anger. Free association: Their third, The Body, The Blood, The Machine, set the bar way too high. For fans of: No Age + Bratmobile x Beat Happening, anti-establishment angst. (B.C.)

BORN RUFFIANS Birthmarks (Yep Roc Records) Sounds like: An excellent follow-up to their killer Say It, Luke LaLonde and his Toronto mates continue to mature, with melody, bright guitars and dancey drums. Free association: Another Canadian treasure—and one that’s not going anywhere. For fans of: Fleet Foxes/Local Natives x Ween, Clap Your Hands, pleasant quirk. (B.C.)

GHOSTFACE KILLAH Twelve Reasons to Die (Soul Temple Entertainment) Sounds like: Hell, yes! Ghostface is in top form, and the production is sick, using RZA’s style of dusty old vinyl reverence but sharpening it with crisp soul sounds. Free association: Emceed stories of dying and the afterlife—this is Killah’s specialty. For fans of: Wu-Tang/Raekwon/Inspectah Deck/Cappadonna, Staten Island OGs. (B.C.)

YEAH YEAH YEAHS Mosquito (Interscope) Sounds like: A lovely and weird mixed bag from Karen, Nick and Brian, with nods to each of their capably-handled genres: punk, art pop, electro and garage. Free association: Unbelievably balanced; from shrieking to a wedding song. For fans of: Gossip/PJ/Siouxsie + Wire/ The Rapture, smart girls, relevance maintenance. (B.C.)

Hannibal

HANNIBAL Thursdays, 10pm, NBC Captive audience: Fans of Hannibal Lecter, but the Manhunter/Silence of the Lambs Hannibal Lecter, not the Hannibal/Red Dragon/Hannibal Rising Hannibal Lecter. Moment of truth: After being disappointed by Bates Motel, I didn’t feel like dipping into another weekly TV show about the early days of an iconic serial killer. But, hey, I decided to give this a chance, and damn, I was impressed. This modern-day prequel/police procedural mostly focuses on the relationship between Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), still a respected psychiatrist, and troubled criminal profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). The show is insanely intense, complete with envelop-pushing gore, nightmarish sequences and Laurence Fishburne, occasionally yelling with authority, as Graham’s superior. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (Craig D. Lindsey)

Sat., April 20, Skybox at the Adrienne Theater. lunatheater.org Overall vibe: The six short plays featured in Luna Theater’s second annual world-premiere play festival stop and start like a rusty robot looking for some lubricant. Most memorable moment: Fifteen minutes after the lights dim to black, a woman in the second row begins to snore. I couldn’t help but think, Why is this lady sleeping? Is it because the three directors and six playwrights ignore the fact that each play revolves around the same catastrophic future on the same stage set designer Mary Rossiter littered with refuse like barbed wire, broken fences, disconnected computer monitors, television screens and loose flat tires? Is it because Kristen Scatton’s The Last Man on Earth—which explores how, post-Mayan apocalypse, the last woman on earth chooses to live alone because the last man on earth happens to be her ex-boyfriend—is a thinly-veiled bad joke stretched into a 10-minute play? The title is the punch line. These short one-acts could easily bleed into each other effectively as six scenes of the same play. Scene stealer: C.J. Celeiro’s {sonic art} takes place 1,000 years in the future, when audible language has become obsolete. Celeiro liberates actors Michelle Pauls, Gina Martino and Joe Matyas to simply inhabit Rossiter’s wasteland while sparing the audience from the painfully cute dialogue crammed with exhaustively dated R.E.M song lyrics, penis jokes and bunny rabbits that dominate the rest of PIFA. (Jessica Foley)

ON THE PAGE

INSIDE AMY SCHUMER Tuesdays, 10:30pm, Comedy Central Captive audience: People who are tired of the string of dicks who get their own shows on Comedy Central. Moment of truth: The latest comic this year to get a Comedy Central show, Schumer basically takes her audience inside the mind of a 20-something single gal. Needless to say, it’s not pretty, as sketches have Schumer finding the right naughty text messages to send someone, planning out her life with the man she had a one-night stand with and engaging in other awkward, neurotic stuff. The show also has her doing standup, on-the-street interviews and one-on-one convos with gals prettier than her. You think this would be for gals only, but Schumer’s amusingly dirty mind makes it open for everyone. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (C.D.L.)

HEMLOCK GROVE Available on Netflix.com Captive audience: Fans of Twin Peaks, The X-Files, The Following, Eerie, Indiana—basically, any show where strange shit is afoot. Moment of truth: The latest original series on the streaming video service starts off awesome, then veers into clusterfuck territory. This supernatural whatzit, based on Brian McGreevy’s year-old novel about a small Pennsylvania town that’s hiding some weird secrets piled up with so many things—werewolves, angels, gypsies, freakishly large teenagers, Famke Janssen back to being bitchy—to the point where, by the third episode, you don’t know what the hell is going on. It’s a shame, since the pilot episode, directed by executive producer Eli Roth, is quite good. And that’s more disturbing than anything on this show. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND KITTIES By Jane Austen, Pamela Jane, Deborah Guyol (Skyhorse Publishing) In summary: Obviously taking cues from its Philly-spawned, zombie-filled brethren, Pride and Prejudice and Kitties transforms all of the characters into cats, rewriting and shortening Austen’s language to reflect the activities of a household pet. The sheer number of puns and time spent reminding the readers that the characters are cats is exhausting. The Photoshopped images of cats in weird poses wearing Regency-era nonsense with macro text on almost every other page were the best part of reading this acid-laden idea of a book. Akin to: Ecce Homo after the Gimenez restoration. Author fun fact: The two writers who aren’t famous for creating lasting works of fiction met in high school. (Michael Brady)

SAVAGE LOVE

WWW.LUSTINTHECITY.COM

By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net DEAR READERS: Last week was made of problems. The bombing of the Boston Marathon, the explosion that leveled a small town in Texas, the rising tide of antigay violence in France, the North Koreans being North Korean. And when I sat down to write this week’s column—while the manhunt was still under way for the second bomber in Boston—it occurred to me that the last thing the world needs right now is more problems. So instead of the usual sex problems, STI problems, CPOS problems and DTMFA problems, this week I’m only running letters from people who don’t really have problems. Because we could all use a break. No problem here. I’m a straight 36-year-old guy. My wife has always been great about indulging my kinks—some femdom role play, lots of OTK spankings, rare D/s three-ways—so when she announced at age 34 that she had a kink of her own, I regarded it as my mission to make it happen. We just got back from a trip to see a safe and trustworthy friend in Los Angeles who “paid” me to have sex with my wife. (He put 20 $100 bills on the bar at the hotel, but it was money that I had given him.) My wife was so turned on, but she was also grateful. When it was over, she kept saying how much she loved me for being the person who made her paid-for-sex fantasy come true. People who stand in the way of their partner’s fantasies don’t realize what they’re depriving themselves of—so much love and gratitude! Her Sub Pimp Thanks for sharing, HSP!

After reading that you intend to “support [your son] in any decision he makes,” I started to compose a mildly scolding response in my head. (“Why would you do that? Gay kids, like straight kids, need their parents to be their parents. Your son needs you to meddle lovingly, to criticize constructively, and to help him pull his big gay head out of his big gay ass when it needs pulling. And it will, PM, because gay kids make bad decisions, too.”) But you made it clear at the end of your letter—he was right to worry about those sleepovers being over—that you aren’t confusing “support my gay son” with “sign off on any damn thing my gay son wants.” Well done, PM! I am an 18-year-old British queer girl who was recently involved with an older woman while visiting the U.S. She told me about your “campsite rule,” and she followed it to the letter and was wonderful. I’ve since moved back to London and told everyone I know about your column. As a result, there’s a small group of teens running around North London who adore you. I hope we can spread your excellent advice and make as many people as possible into GGG partners. CC Thanks for the lovely note, CC, and tell the older woman I said thanks—for honoring the campsite rule and for helping to build my readership in the U.K. by turning you on to my column. 

Some people are turned on by completely random shit, LHTB, and no one quite knows why. Probably

No question here, just a thank-you. Last week, my 16-year-old son told me that he has a crush on his best friend ... who just so happens to be a 16-year-old boy. Without your column, I don’t think I would’ve been prepared for his “revelation.” You and your readers taught me the importance of letting him know that I will always accept him, love him and support him in any decision he makes. The best part: He wasn’t really worried about telling me he’s gay; he was worried that I wouldn’t let his crush spend the night anymore. (And he was right to worry!) Proud Mom

Whenever this female college student studies, she gets incredibly horny! At peak times during the semester, when I am constantly reading or studying, I find it almost impossible to go more than a couple of hours without having to masturbate. I have an active sex life! Is there a physiological explanation for this? Lady Hits The Books

There’s no working around an allergy so severe it can land you in the hospital—and with everything else you two have going for you, TIA, forgoing latex is the price of admission your new girlfriend should be willing to pay.

Your letter reminds me of a funny conversation I overheard at the gym: Guy #1: “You should grow a goatee—it would feel great when you rim me.” Guy #2: “I have a goatee when I rim you.” Sounds like you have a beard when you rim your new boyfriend, RIMS, and I would advise you to get used to bearded rimming for the time being. You’re only four dates and one fully naked Big Gay Sex Romp into this new relationship, RIMS, which is too soon to start asking for body mods. But once you hit, oh, 20 dates and a dozen Big Gay Sex Romps, I think you could offer to give him a hand with those clippers.

I’m a 19-year-old newbie lesbian Dom starting a relationship with a smart, sexy, wildly kinky 22-year-old. We share a lot of fetishes, and our relationship so far could not be better. One issue: She’s very, very into latex clothes. I have a severe allergy, to the point where I would probably need to be hospitalized if she wore latex clothing. I want to work around this; she’s been GGG about anal, which was something I wanted to explore. She did that for me, and I want to do this for her. Is there a good alternative to latex? Thanks In Advance

I just started dating a guy who seems perfect in almost every way. (I’m a guy, too.) He’s cute, fun, charming, smart and successful. There’s only one thing that’s bugging me. He has a super-furry ass crack. Yes, I know some guys find a furry crack to be a big turn-on. I am not one of them. We’ve been on four dates and actually got fully naked only once, so it’s not like I feel so totally comfortable with him that I can just come out and say it. Really Into Men Smooth

something to do with our big brains—I mean, just think of all those billions of nerve endings, all those synapses making connections, all those formative experiences that get all synapsed up and become adult erotic obsessions. Think of all that, and then count your lucky stars that studying turns you on. If there were a way to bottle and sell your kink, LHTB, no one would ever need to take Adderall again.
