WALK OF LIFE

On the cover ldquoThe Avengersrdquo bull marvel studios


On the order of what to spend money on what itrsquos allocated to and the timing there are myriad opportunities for citi-zens to ready their pitchforks and torches and descend upon city hall

With last weekrsquos launch of the new Chattanooga city website (chattanoogagov) we can test out the months of work that caused a good deal of controversy with the $328000 cost ($128000 for the

website $200000 for improvements and additions over the next four years) The winning bid for the work went to local branding and design firm Maycreate who worked closely with the City Information Services to develop the sitersquos content and its more than 10000 pages of informa-tion

I asked Aaron Hoffman project leader at Maycreate for the city website design

what the biggest challenge was in build-ing the website

ldquoOur biggest challenge was making all the information easy to find and easy to update for the departmentsrdquo he said ldquoAt first glance the website appears to have a moderate amount of content When you dive deeper you find over 51000 pieces of content that are being managed by 18 different departments It wasnrsquot as simple as just building in a killer search engine and having intuitive navigation We also had to train 50-plus people in updating the site in the correct manner so that the content could be found with search and navigationrdquo

Anyone who has ever had the experi-ence of performing hands-on content management with a website knows ability to update and add content is paramount No doubt at least some of you have been frustrated with not being able to execute seemingly simple tasks on a particular platform

The face of the website has dramati-cally changed of course Navigation has been clarified and refined as have aes-thetic attributes The architecture design and initial content population display the true functionality of a great municipal website That work is the initial phase that will be followed with further en-hancements of the site departments and sections

ldquoThe first phase was to get the whole city on a new content-management sys-tem so the website could be easily up-dated and built upon furtherrdquo Hoffman said ldquoNow that Chattanoogagov is on a solid platform there are plans to further enhance the functionality of each depart-ment and address wish lists that the de-partments have wanted but had no way of accomplishing on the old systemrdquo

Addressing these issues has the poten-tial to accomplish some important things First making the city government and its available information more acces-sible Second making it easier and more accommodating for city departments to add and update content so that when you do need to access information it will be there Third what all of that ultimately has the potential to do is make the city government more transparent

We can debate the cost of this project

WEBSITES


This is around the time of night the beat cop wants to have some lunch some interaction with co-workers to relax and ulti-mately decide how much more effort this night is going to receive By that of course I mean to doze off under the watchful eyes of other cops in a safe spot or set up radar somewhere and seek out the NDDYrsquos (Not Done Drinking Yetrsquos)

Tonight we chose a greasy spoon off of State Highway 58 called the Hungry House It was there that I could enjoy my generously discounted trucker-style food and bond with my co-workers by talking about both the things we hate and the things we donrsquot hate as much

ldquoSuprsquo Teachrdquo said a cop we called ldquoFlipperrdquo

ldquoNothinrsquo man Great to see you how you beenrdquo I responded He worked the Southside and I worked the East so it really had been a while

ldquoAw nothinrsquos nothingrdquo He glanced down at my hip cocking his head to the right a bit as he did ldquoSay that a new gunrdquo

ldquoYesrdquo I said enthusias-tically ldquoI didnrsquot think any-one would noticerdquo

ldquoHampK No wait Wait Springfieldrdquo

ldquoXD sub-compact Good eyerdquo

ldquoThanksrdquo he said And Irsquod meant that They all look a lot alike from the top of the slide so I was

genuinely impressedldquo40 calrsquo nine-plus-

ldquoYou can clear your hol-ster twice as fast I bet I never thought about going shorter Nicerdquo

ldquoYeahrdquo I said ldquoI got the long gun for the hostage shots now Everything else happens close-up so I figured why notrdquo

ldquoThat holster itrsquos polyrdquo His was still the issued leather Level III ldquoLike itrdquo

ldquoYeah recessed for-ward section so itrsquos easier to find blind and faster to draw with Kind of fits on the belt funny though Does it make me look fat-terrdquo

ldquoAbsolutely not man You look greatrdquo

ldquoThe vest is bad enough Makes me look huge God I hate how some

guys can wear it and look so thin but it just means theyrsquove got the body of a 10-year-old under thatrdquo

ldquoYeahrdquo he concurred ldquobesides vests are like TV cameras They add 12 pounds to everyonerdquo

ldquoI know rightrdquo I said excitedly About that time a Brainerd cop in the booth behind me who had been typing up a report on his portable slapped the laptop lid closed abruptly stood up and glared at us as he began to walk past

ldquoIowa and Washington DC are your best bets for marriage Until then please shut up I canrsquot eat nowrdquo

We both sat somewhat at a loss we really had unintentionally crossed a line I think so I played it through by asking ldquoSo you want to hold it or just stare at it toordquo

He left in even greater disgust and I didnrsquot see him again for months Some people it seems just arenrsquot secure in their armaments

ldquoWanna shoot radar from the Bonny Oaks on-ramprdquo I asked my co-worker as the checks ar-rived

but because we are talking about a web-site and not road repair it always has the potential for controversy But when you examine the amount of skill and effort it takes to build such a platform and then train people to use it that price seems even more reasonable

There are subjective aspects to any proj-ectmdashespecially those in the world of de-sign But creation of a municipal website for a city our size is a challenge Addition-ally having a navigable well-organized website for our city is not a luxury nor is it optional Now the debates on the aesthet-ics of the new website can commence That is if anyone cares more about its looks than its brains

The Grapes of Rossville Ave

By Bill Ramsey

long home to local craft beer Chattanooga has sig-nificantly upped the ante on its adult beverage economy recently with Chattanooga Whiskey making its debut in local liquor stores and bars Now local wine is getting its moment with the opening of DeBarge Winery at 1617 Ross-ville Ave on the Southside

For the past few months Lee Morse has been ferment-ing the first batches of wine under the DeBarge Vineyards label that will soon make its debut in Chattanoogarsquos first urban winery

Morse is general manager and winemaker of this out-post owned by Raymond De-Barge of DeBarge Vineyards of Lafayette Ga From this restored early 20th century building behind The Church on Main he has been ready-ing a tasting room and watch-ing over the wines that will be sold there

Urban wineries may be nov-

el to Chattanooga but they are hardly newmdashtheyrsquove exist-ed in America for more than 150 years And while these wineries are now hotspots for wine lovers in such cit-ies as Portland Ore where Morse earned his winemak-ing stripes the concept only recently found its way here

ldquoTherersquos nothing like it in townrdquo says Morse a 2006 graduate of UTC who earned his masterrsquos degree in food science from UT in 2008

Urban wineries operate much like their craft beer counterparts often owned by vintners such as DeBarge and transport grapes from their vineyards to urban settings where they are fermented or finished off and sold in bottles on site

While the new DeBarge

Winery is owned by the vint-ner many are not In Oregon Washington and California urban wineries often pur-chase grapes from vintners and ferment them in cities at urban wineries under their own labels

ldquoOne of the great things about grapes is that they care a lot about where they are grown but not at all where theyrsquore made into winerdquo says Brendan Eliason in a USA To-day article charting the rise of urban wineries Eliasonrsquos Periscope Cellars forged from a World War II submarine repair station in Emeryville Calif has become a popular gathering spot according to the article

Thatrsquos the sort of experience in which Morse found himself while working in Portland where he found himself after first pursuing craft beer-mak-ing at Big River in Chattanoo-ga and later discovering Blue Slip Tennesseersquos first urban winery in Knoxville where he worked while studying at UT

ldquoI started out wanting to

make beerrdquo says Morse ldquobut I found the challenge of mak-ing wine much more prefer-able Beer is so consistentmdashthe quality of wheat hops and barley are rarely compromised from year to year But grapes are slaves to the harvest Itrsquos always a challenge because the climate varies from year to yearrdquo

Climate and terrain are key to great grapes of course which is why the South has yet to produce popular wines But that hasnrsquot stopped vintners like DeBarge from trying and Morse is putting his skills and research to the test in search of a type of grape that can produce a fine wine here

ldquoIn Oregon itrsquos all pinot noir everywhere you gordquo he says ldquoBut in the South where the climate is so inconsistent the stuff everyone knows doesnrsquot grow here So wersquore experimenting with French-American hybrids to produce chardonnays and other white winesrdquo

Until Morse finds that per-fect Southern wine DeBarge is shipping in grapes from Oregon and California to pro-duce its wines under its label that will soon be on sale at its Rossville Avenue winery

Morse says he is hoping for a June 1 opening but that will likely be a soft opening The property is nicely finished out and Morse says they are add-ing a rooftop deck and out-door areas where customers can gather Samples will be free since laws prohibit the sales of wine by the glass in the winery But if you sample a wine you like and purchase a bottle you can walk out and around and enjoy it on the deck or patio DeBarge will also offer a selection of local breads meats and cheeses to complement the experience

urban design has power just ask tdot and rivercity company

A few weeks ago the latest entry in RiverCityrsquos Urban Design Challenge raised questions about the Tennessee Department of Transportationrsquos plan for widening US 27 through downtown Elemi Architectsrsquo proposal for revitalizing the Fourth Street corridor called for moving an entrance ramp closer to the highway to reclaim a blockrsquos worth of land for an expan-sion of the Creative Discovery Museum It also brought up concerns about a roundabout on MLK that would create a pedestrian barrier between the Westside and downtown and wondered if all those 60-foot retaining walls are really necessary

The state highway agency responded by taking the widening project off the statersquos project list

Although that sounds like taking its marbles and going home TDOTrsquos response is probably not as draconian or as permanent as it sounds Con-struction on that section was not slated to begin until after the segment north of the river is completed in several years so therersquos plenty of time to get the project back on the list And there are plenty of powerful believers in urban design who are working with TDOT to find common ground

Although no one would comment on the record Christian Rushing an urban design consultant working with RiverCity on the Urban Design Challenge would say ldquoI think therersquos a great deal of optimismmdashboth on our part and TDOTmdashthat we can work together to find a solution thatrsquos mutually beneficialrdquo

Modest proposals add upFor urban design to discom-

bobulate a state department is probably one of the more ex-treme examples of its power Most of its effects are cumula-tively powerful but more subtle taken one at a time So subtle in fact that therersquos a significant danger according to urbanists that people who use and love downtown Chattanooga donrsquot understand how it got to be the way it is or what it takes to keep it viable Some of the more mod-est recommendations of the Fourth Street plan show how urban design typically works

One of the key issues the El-emi team had to confront was the way heavy vehicle traffic on a major East-West street like Fourth seems to push building entrances to quieter North-South streets like Market and Broad The same phenomenon can be seen on MLK further south The Read House was built with its front door on MLK facing what was then the Union Terminal station where thousands of people arrived in Chattanooga When the station closed and automobile traffic increased on MLK the hotelrsquos primary entrance shifted to the quieter Broad Street

Rather than follow that well-worn path of least resistance and plan new buildings that face Broad or Market Elemirsquos Fourth Street design envisions new buildings that face Fourth Street with design features that actively engage the public realm

The new plan envisions the John Ross Building which has been bricked up for years as an office building with the first floor opened up to create semi-public space in the manner of a Greek agora Originally built for a car dealership the first floor features 18-foot ceilings and could become an open air loggia

along Fourth Street similar to the partially covered walkway in Miller Plaza that connects Market and Cherry Streets along the built edge formed by the stage and commercial office buildings inside the park

ldquoAt Miller Plaza thatrsquos ac-complished very successfully because itrsquos fronting a parkrdquo

said Eric Myers of Elemi ldquoIt can also be accomplished on the pri-mary public edge It can extend public realm into the building in a perceived way even though itrsquos private space The tall lower bay just screams for an open-air plaza an outdoor dining op-portunity We went over the top with it and said lsquoWhy canrsquot you

just drive a food truck in therersquordquoThe corridor design also en-

visions a six-floor boutique ho-tel facing Fourth Street next to the Majestic Cinema Similar to the Ross Building but not quite as dramatic the hotel would feature a recessed ground floor that brings the public realm into the building and allows

Urbanism can capture real estate demand

ldquoThe biggest thing those two parcels need to do is reorient to Fourth Streetrdquo said Myers ldquoThe buildings need to respond

to Fourth and not pick sides either Broad or Market If you can do that yoursquove captured the real estate demand that Fourth provides I think itrsquos our highest-traffic street morning and night I donrsquot think you can turn your back on that Itrsquos one of the reasons why major chain businesses come into that area

They want traffic count I think therersquos going to be incredible demandrdquo

RiverCity Company which owns the land next to the Ma-jestic is already preparing to issue a request for proposals to develop a hotel on the site And a new Hampton Inn and Suites completed in 2011 at

Chestnut and Fourth fits right into Elemirsquos vision ldquoItrsquos pretty amazing how much that proj-ect has improved the corridorrdquo said Myers

These methods of directed redevelopmentmdashalong with in-frastructure investments from the city like sidewalk and park-ing improvements and median

plantingsmdashare the kind of ldquour-ban design interventionrdquo that has been going on for decades in Chattanooga

Urban design is about bring-ing a number of different ele-ments togethermdashstreets side-walks open space commercial buildings residential buildings office buildingsmdashrather than considering them in isolation according to Rushing ldquoUrban design is putting all of those things together to make each one better to make the whole more than sum of its partsrdquo

For the last 60 or 70 years in this country wersquove built our cit-ies by specializing and putting everything in silos he adds building all those pieces in iso-lation ldquoBefore that we spent thousands of years as a people building cities where all those things go together and they de-pend on one another and they create a richness and a texture you canrsquot get in a place thatrsquos built on a monoculturerdquo

Urbanism revived downtown Chattanooga

Designing and coordinat-ing all these myriad details is what made downtown Chatta-nooga a great place again after decades of disinvestment and decline

ldquoIn Chattanooga in the 1980s we made very conscious decisions about the future health of downtownrdquo accord-ing to Rushing ldquoThe two broad strokes that were made were to

re-establish a center the heart of the city and to return to the place of our birth which is the riverrdquo

In accomplishing those two things a number of principles were embraced downtown is for everybody downtown should be a diverse and wel-coming place the city is for people so decisions should be geared toward them not just the infrastructure that is in-tended to support them down-town should be a place where people live (ldquoThat was a very foreign concept in 1980s be-cause at that point the white flight to the suburbs had oc-curred and no one lived down-townrdquo said Rushing) every downtown project should to be done at a high level of quality in a way that was lasting and per-manent

The most important princi-ple according to Rushing was that nothing downtown would ever be considered in isolation

Every project would be seen in the larger context Nowhere can that be seen more clearly in how Miller Plaza was created Now known and loved as the loca-tion of the Nightfall festival Miller Plaza was one of the first urban design interventions in downtown Chattanooga And it began as a set of urban design guidelines

ldquoWhen Miller Plaza was de-signed they designed the plaza and five blocks around it in ev-ery directionrdquo said Rushing ldquoThe concept that all our sites are connected in a number of ways to adjacent buildings to the district and to the city as a whole is very importantrdquo

Miller Plaza A psychological maneuver

The most important thing about Miller Plaza is not nec-essarily the architecture or the plan or buildings said Rush-ing ldquoIt was more a psychologi-cal maneuver in the minds of

the community to understand where our heart was where the center of downtown wasrdquo

It was a long process First there were several years of stu-dent architectural projects that considered the surrounding district and developed a num-ber of concepts for it When the city planned to create a grassy park similar to Miller Park Stroud Watson director of the Urban Design Studio suggest-ed another direction

ldquoStroud said thatrsquos the wrong way to go about it We already have the green grass what we need is a great plaza hardscape that has activity thatrsquos energiz-ing that adds a different set of elements that we donrsquot have in Miller Parkrdquo according to Rushing ldquoAnd beyond that he said what will make that plaza successful is not necessarily whatrsquos going on there but the quality of public realm that is around it At the time that was an unheard of conceptmdashthat the

sidewalks and the streetscape were as important if not more so than the buildingsrdquo

Eventually RiverCity Com-pany developed Miller Plaza which it still owns and operates as a public park Before the pla-za was built consultants were hired to write design guidelines along with the Design Studio Then five architectural firms were hired to create five hy-pothetical building proposals that followed the guidelines which were exhibited publicly ldquoThe purpose was to show that guidelines donrsquot result in cook-ie-cutter architecture that you could get a wide variety of styles of buildings with same set of guidelinesrdquo said Rushing

Downtown didnrsquot just happen

RiverCityrsquos Urban Design Challengemdashboth as a whole and individual projectsmdashis doing something very similar to the Miller Plaza district guidelines

according to RushingldquoOne of the things I think

that some people donrsquot realize is that downtown didnrsquot just hap-penrdquo said Rushing ldquoAll of the things we now take for grant-edmdashlike the Aquarium the Aquarium plaza Miller Plaza the Riverwalk all the redevel-opment in the Southside the Chattanooganmdashnone of those just started off as a project one day Each of them had dozens of student projects or professional consultant projects or city staff projects Each was looked at and designed on and mulled over and considered and recon-sidered and vetted long before any real projects came along All the research and design and consideration are ultimately what led to the high quality of what we have nowrdquo

More than 20 years later the Miller Plaza guidelines are still shaping development ndash EPBrsquos 2007 headquarters building looks remarkably like a hypo-


thetical design from 1986 And the urbanism-inspired discus-sions with TDOT are nothing new

According to Elemirsquos Eric Myers the entire processmdashcon-troversy and allmdashshows how

holistic urban design can be when the cityrsquos past present and future are viewed as a com-plete system

ldquoIn Chattanooga people have been getting that for 20 years from student visions to profes-

sional workrdquo said Myers ldquoThey donrsquot all have to get built or ef-fect change in a dramatic way Theyrsquore meant to posit ideas that filter out and affect people who do what they do every day whether it be owning a hotel or

designing and building a trans-portation system Our commu-nity gets it There are so many leaders in our community that get it Theyrsquove experienced it first hand either as a business owner or a local elected officialrdquo

The next Urban Design Chal-lengemdashlooking at the Vine Street corridor between Georgia Av-enue and UTCmdashis scheduled for 530 pm on Tuesday May 15 at Christ Central Church on Vine Street

letrsquos be honest it snuck up on you again this year You

disregarded the fore-warnings left on your voicemail by your more responsible siblings ignored the hallmark-in-spired ad campaigns on the radio and didnrsquot even reply to multiple texts from your own mother asking ldquoWhat are your plans this sundayrdquo Does forgetting motherrsquos Day make you bad offspring the undeserving runt of a disgruntled litter Possi-bly But there is a chance at redemption

luckily for you the chattanooga market has you covered Rather than running all around town searching for flowers a meal and entertainment

options the market has gathered them all under-neath the First Tennessee Pavillion for you and your mom along with the characteristic charm and pastiche of local flavors the market will feature champagne and wine along with strawberries lining the center aisle

according to melissa siragusa media and marketing relations director for the market ldquoWe feel that chattanoo-ga market will be a per-fect outing for mom and family as we have several new local eateries fresh cut flowers produce and of course arts and craftsrdquo

nashville musical artist louise mosrie will be on stage shar-ing her folk picking and

smooth southern lyrics followed by moors and mccumber who bring a unique mellifluous blend of americana acoustic guitars and multi-in-strumental capabilities coupled with two-part harmonies that make their ballads perfect for the occasion

Basically itrsquos all the things moms love and since itrsquos at the market yoursquoll have a good time too all while solidifying your status as the favor-ite child

Dylan has of course served as a muse for thousands of singer-songwriters What sets Bensusanrsquos 40-year career apart is his refusal to allow the business of music to interfere with the ideals that originally informed and inspired it

Growing up in Paris Ben-susan started playing piano and studying classical music at age 7 and within a few years began teaching himself to play the guitar It was slow going at first but then he discovered

English guitarists Davey Gra-ham Bert Jansch and John Renbourn ldquoI heard Jansch and Renbourn when I was about 14rdquo he said ldquoThey made the guitar sing in a very dif-

ferent romantic sensual way It was elegant striking but never flashy meaningful and original And yet they carried that sense of baroque and me-dieval that has always touched merdquo

Graham in particular proved a potent influence on young Bensusan Widely cred-ited with having developed the DADGAD (pronounced ldquodad-gadrdquo) tuning method on the guitar Graham had spent time in the early rsquo60s in North Africa After return-ing to England he began to try to replicate the music hersquod heard in Morocco on his gui-tar The Moroccan oud looks like a lute but sounds like a high-pitched guitar with a couple of droning bass strings Itrsquos a bit like a stringed ver-sion of the Scottish bagpipes Graham approximated that sound by tuning down his lowest and two highest guitar strings Jansch later used the tuning for his arrangement of the Irish folk song ldquoBlack Wa-tersiderdquo famously re-recorded by Jimmy Page on the first Led Zeppelin album as ldquoBlack Mountainsiderdquo

ldquoI consider this instrument like a little orchestrardquo Ben-susan said of his technique in an interview in Guitar Mes-senger last year ldquoI cannot play everything but I can suggest that some of those things are thererdquo And singing gives him ldquotwo extra stringsrdquo as he put it

With his light tenor Ben-susan sometimes sings a lyric (usually in French) and at other times scats adding a wordless vocal line reminis-cent of George Benson that complements his guitar On other occasions he sounds more like Bobby McFerrin as in the song (purportedly about his dog Garlic) ldquoLe Chien Qui

Tournerdquo from his most recent album Vividly

For Bensusan music is both a spiritual and an emotional form of expression and no di-vide exists between voice and guitar Moreover the combi-nation of guitar and singing actually creates a third instru-ment

ldquoI like to look at the gui-tar part behind a voicing that would help the voice and the text to carry another voicing but also to not be in the way of whatever qualities are ve-hicled by the voicerdquo he said in an email

Although Bensusan claims both Dylan and Donovan as early influences he seems to have more in common with Donovan in his use of the voice as an instrument His gentle romantic ballad ldquoPar un Beau Soir de Dimancherdquo for instance hardly requires a literal translation to under-stand or appreciate

Bensusan is refreshingly dismissive of his famous fin-gerstyle technique

ldquoYou need to train your physical tool so that you can let the music use you and shine through yourdquo he said ldquoFor me technique is transparent flu-id effortless It should not be distracting never in the way It should just let the music speakrdquo

Bensusan Lets Music SpeakRIChARD WINhAM

Richard Winham is the host and producer of WUTC-FMrsquos afternoon music program and has observed the Chat-tanooga music scene for more than 25 years

therersquos a good reason that pierre bensusan the FrenchndashAlgerian guitarist scheduled to play at Barking Legs Theatre on Thursday May 17 remains in relative obscurity despite his reputation among guitar aficiona-dos as one of the worldrsquos top players Shaped by that brief shining moment in the late 1960s when musicians privi-leged strong values tolerance and music over money and fame Bensusan 54 is still the idealistic 14-year-old who fashioned from Bob Dylanrsquos Nashville Skyline a model for his own idiosyncratic artistic path

in the catalog of jazz saxophonist John Coltrane there are the acknowledged classic masterpieces such as Giant Steps

and A Love Supreme and then there are the difficult masterpieces of his later period such as Ascension that po-larized critics and fans by going into free-jazz territory with an avant-garde attitude The fifth and latest installment of the Coltrane-on-Impulse re-mastered boxed set reissue series concentrates on Col-

tranersquos thorny late period presenting five albums originally released after his death in 1967 with original non-expanded editions

The aptly titled Transition was recorded by Coltranersquos ldquoclassic quartetrdquo including bassist Jimmy Garrison drummer Elvin Jones and pianist McCoy Tyner serving as a sort of link between Coltranersquos classicdifficult divide It has a definite feeling of restlessness and expansion with Tynerrsquos relatively conventional chord sequences in sharp contrast with the rest of the band The same lineup pushed this even further on the equally excellent Sun Ship with both sensi-tivity and an aggressive playing style show-ing growth from Tyner

Even more formidable is Coltranersquos lineup featuring tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sand-ers on Live in Seattle Listeners will likely either find this style either wearying or nour-ishing Sanders also graces Concert in Japan which begins with the bustling yet relatively gentle and restrained 25-minute ldquoPeace on Earthrdquo Also included is the controversial Infinity on which Alice Coltrane used post-humous overdubs to enhance several of her husbandrsquos recordings with elements such as a string ensemble harp runs and bass play-ing from Charlie Haden Sacrilege or not this writer finds it to be tastefully done and an interesting reimagining particularly for Alice Coltrane aficionados

During this period Coltrane expressed an overt spirituality with his music and he even stated ldquoI believe in all religionsrdquo The over-all feeling on this set is that with this over-whelming hard-to-grasp music the per-formers are conveying a presence larger than everythingmdashtoo big to describe with conven-tional methods Completists will want the expanded editions of the live albums but this boxed set is a tidy package featuring a generous dose of Coltranersquos mind-expand-ing hugely rewarding late period music

By Bill Ramsey

rock lsquonrsquo roll is the bastard child of the blues and country a half-breed offspring that went on to produce a litter of progeny so wildly diverse and ethnically infused itrsquos difficult to imagine a family reunion in which some-one does not get caught sodom-izing the cousins Metaphorically speaking that happened fairly frequently and with little regret Rock lsquonrsquo roll is musical incest at its best So to distill its history into a 40-image family album is to in-vite disagreement fuel argument and find fault with any exhibit that attempts to chronicle the his-tory of rock in that space

Thankfully the curators of the new exhibit ldquoSound and Vision Monumental Rock and Roll Pho-tographyrdquo at the Hunter Museum find it less necessary to define rock lsquonrsquo roll history than to high-light its storied past through the lenses of some great photogra-phers The arrangement is logical but doesnrsquot claim to be exhaustive and the exhibit underscores the dynamic connection between the power of music and photography Itrsquos like a trip to a Hard Rock Cafe but artfully presented and sans the kitsch From this perspective itrsquos less like flipping through a photo album than renting a rock lsquonrsquo roll rent-a-car

Taken strictly as a photograph-ic exhibit this is a stunning col-lection of the familiar and not-so-familiar by some of rockrsquos star photographersmdashHarry Benson Danny Clinch Mark Seliger and Baron Wolman among others The exhibit which debuted at the Columbus Museum in Georgia last year is on its first tour stop

at the Hunter and features large digital prints from the original negatives that burst with richness and detail

Chronologically arranged while remaining historically and musi-cally relevant the exhibit begins predictably with the young El-vis recently crowned looking somewhat pensive while passing through Chattanooga on a train on his way back to Memphis in 1956 But just behind him lurks his alter ego in the flamboyant personage of Little Richard in the same era whose face (with more

makeup and carefully styled hair) mirrors Presleyrsquos pent-up anxiet-ies Brothers of different mothers one will become The King the other will remain a prince who gives rise another Prince

Thus begins the ride in the long black rental Cadillac named Rock lsquonrsquo Roll The lanes switch as fre-quently as the drivers each leav-ing telltale signs of their turns in the driverrsquos seat The brief exhibit jolts boldly necessarily from the American South to England as The Beatles Rolling Stones and The Who launch the British In-vasion then quickly back across the pond and west to California All the boldface names of rock lsquonrsquo roll are heremdashHendrix Morrison Joplin Dylanmdashalong with some surprises such as Donovan as if to mention that London still rocks as much as Los Angeles

Just as quickly the exhibit bridges the 1970s in all its eclecti-cism from the Thin White Duke of David Bowie to the equally androgynous Freddie Mercury Disco mercifully is excluded from the party But so are many pioneers There is little evidence of rockrsquos country cousins such as Gram Parsons Likewise you will see Neil Young but no Crosby Stills or Nash Mercury but not Elton John

Much of what is missing is ex-plainable Obtaining the rights and negatives of these images is as complicated as printing them here is as much fun (and cost-free) Or it may simply be a case of ldquocuratorrsquos choicerdquo But viewers may still wonder why there are three images of reggaersquos most in-fluential artists but few of rockrsquos raw past

Who-Fest Debuts at CoolidgeFESTIVALS

the who-fest [12] folk art Festival returns earlier and in a new location this year The popular art and music festi-val returns to the North Shore this weekend at Coolidge Park Celebrating it sixth year in Chattanooga the festival is produced by Winder Binder Gallery amp Bookstore in col-laboration with the Who Ha Da Da Artistrsquos Fellowship and the Shaking Ray Levi Society

ldquoThe really big thing is mov-ing to Coolidge Park from Re-naissance Park and the shift to from Memorial Day week-

end Motherrsquos Day weekendrdquo said David Smotherman of Winder Binder ldquoCoolidge is a more mature park with more trees so we hope it will be a bit coolerrdquo

Originally produced in At-lanta Who-Fest moved to Chattanooga in 2007 The festival normally attracts 70 local regional and nation-al artists and provides the unique opportunity to meet and purchase directly from artists that specialize in folk outsider visionary and self-taught art Fields of study

include painting glass met-alworking sculpture jewelry pottery furniture photogra-phy and textiles

ldquoTherersquos a strong theme of folk artrdquo said Smotherman who also produces the Faux Bridges Festival ldquoHalf of the artists are folk artists but there are also jewelers and potters But the true heart of the festival has always been really strong folk artrdquo

After five years at Renais-sance Park the festival com-mittee decided to change the venue to the much more visible Coolidge Park said Smotherman An earlier date in May was also secured to help avoid the typical Memo-rial Day weekend heat

Festival organizers have also announced that music di-rector Tina Torrance with the support of the Shaking Ray Levi Society will once again host two days of diverse mu-sical offerings from local per-formers

portraits of Patti Smith KISS and Lou Reed add to the rsquo70s coverage The exhibit skips hurriedly through time pay-ing just as much attention the reggae of Bob Marley and Pe-ter Tosh as the entire 1980s which considering much of the throwaway music of that decade will be just fine for most But herersquos where some arguments may begin Therersquos KISS but no New York Dolls The Clash but no Ramones Rap is represented by such figures as Tupac pop by Ma-donna and Michael Jackson

Debate amongst yourselves in the audio lounge adjacent to the exhibit or lob your questions at Kristen Miller

My interest in reading was maintained in my youth by DC and Marvel comic books They are as responsible for my educa-tion as any teacher Irsquove ever had If it hadnrsquot been for Clark Kent I would never have learned about Atticus Finch Comics were a stepping stone that led me to the deep waters of English litera-ture

ldquoThe Avengersrdquo is the culmi-nation of a long marketing cam-paign of superhero movies Most of the Marvel heroes have had their own features over the past four years films that thrilled

fanboys and irritated critics The market has been flooded with CGI and tights for the simple reason that there is a built in au-dience of 30-year-old nerds (like myself) who will pay handsome-

ldquoIron Manrdquo and ending with last yearrsquos ldquoCaptain Americardquo Mar-vel Studios has lovingly crafted a dominating genre that pleases audiences ldquoThe Avengersrdquo seems like the best of them

ldquoShersquos Fabulous But Shersquos Evilrdquo by Kelli Vance

commands an army of lizard-like cyborg minions He is of course bent on ruling the world with an iron fist because his dad didnrsquot give him enough hugs Earthrsquos greatest heroes must band together and overcome their personalities to defeat a common enemy Itrsquos kind of like ldquoMajor Leaguerdquo with superpow-ers Of course the heroes clash leading to fun superhero-on-superhero displays of power The plot is simple but it needed to be

to accommodate the number of characters The actors take their roles seriously necessarily avoid-ing camp and keeping close to the source material

The writing and directing was handled masterfully by Joss Whedon the mind behind geek favorites like ldquoBuffy the Vampire Slayerrdquo and ldquoFireflyrdquo Whedonrsquos clever dialogue and steady pac-ing allows the film to unfold nat-urally Past films with large casts of heroes have suffered from

being rushed trying to cram too much character develop-ment and action into one feature length film The previous films covered these characterrsquos origins and powers sufficiently allowing for a real sense of direction and purpose While ldquoThe Avengersrdquo is primarily an action film there is quite a bit of dialogue and character development This pads the film out to almost two and half hours but I was never bored

If I had one complaint (and I do because of my legal obligation as a comic book geek) it would be with the Hulk He canrsquot be both an uncontrollable monster and a precisely aimed weapon capable of taking direction I would have preferred him to be chaotic attacking friend and foe alike The film sets the Hulk up as a last-resort nuclear strike but he doesnrsquot quite deliver in the climactic scenes However watching him smash his enemies

apart is so damn cool Irsquom willing to overlook the oversight

As I wrote earlier there was no chance I wasnrsquot going to love ldquoThe Avengersrdquo I knew that going in Irsquom thrilled that my childhood nostalgia has become mainstream Hollywood fare I like the butterflies I get before buying my ticket That doesnrsquot happen a lot Eventually these films will run their course But for now itrsquos a great time to be a fanboy



By DE Langley

e sushi is the newest sushi-centric restaurant to land down-town opening in late April on the 200 block of Market Street With that location theyrsquore a quick walk away for lots of Chat-tanoogans and an easy stop for lunch or dinner for many others

While graced with a terrific location a recent visit to the new eatery aimed to reveal what else besides convenience was on offer The first discovery (after the atmosphere-soaked interior) was a truly gargantuan menu E Sushirsquos fusion cuisine offers Thai Korean Chinese and other Japanese choices in addition to their namesake (Luckily ample images accompany the listings offering a helping hand to the unfamiliar guest) American influences are also apparent as their offerings are truly sourced from all over the Pacific Rim

Appetizers ranged from pan-fried gyoza and chicken yakitori to deep-fried crab-and-shrimp-stuffed chicken wings and baked mussels with cheese tomatoes jalapentildeos and spicy Japanese mayo Main courses are just as widely varied Diners can choose from teriyaki and hibachi en-trees pad Thai multiple takes on fried rice hellip I could go on and on but suffice it to say that even the most die-hard regulars wonrsquot run out of new dishes to try any-time soon

I asked the owner what he thought made his restaurant a winner in the war for your busi-ness ldquoQuality is the most impor-tant thingrdquo he answered ldquoWe get only Triple-A graded fish the highest level availablerdquo Their dedication to their product is best tasted through the various

offerings we Americans tend to lump together as ldquosushirdquo

The options here are just as varied as the rest of the menu Nigiri andor sashimi the sim-plest offerings are available in no less than 20 varieties includ-ing cooked options for those unaccustomed to dining on raw seafood no matter the quality

When my maguro and sake (tuna and salmon respective-ly) sashimi arrived the owner beamed as he challenged me ldquoHold it up to the lightrdquo Bright afternoon sunlight streaming

through the windows illumi-nated the translucence of the thickly-cut slices ldquoThatrsquos Triple-Ardquo Each fresh bite was perfectly succulent and tender

A plethora of sushi rolls are also available I placed my faith in the ownerrsquos judgment and was presented with two rolls First was the Big Island Roll a Hawaiian-influenced sweet and savory combination Crunchy salmon is rolled up inside and avocado mango and roe join a creamy sauce on top Like many of my favorite dishes this one highlighted differences in tex-tures and flavors to produce a fantastic result

The second was the Fantas-tic Roll a leviathan-sized roll served sliced and laid out on its side Chopped salmon tuna yellowtail and avocados top the

rice and the plate is finished off with a spicy wasabi mayo This was more like rolls Irsquod had in the past though it is difficult to con-vey how big each of these pieces were The contrast in textures between the fish themselves is what made this roll work so well

I was quite satisfied with my dinner and I hadnrsquot even touched any of my standby favorites In fact I hadnrsquot even searched them out so great was the number of options However if your favor-ite roll somehow isnrsquot on their extensive list donrsquot fretmdashtheyrsquoll gladly make it for you

Given their location it also makes sense that E Sushi has a full bar on hand to provide your favorite libations and they serve house wine at half-price all day every day The setting makes for a great jumping-off point for a night out on the town and competitive pricing and nightly liquor specials ensure yoursquoll still have a cover charge or two in your pocket when you leave (If late nights arenrsquot your thing you can also enjoy a drink during happy hour as guests get half-priced beers and sake as well as 15 percent off food from 3 to 6 pm)

If yoursquore trying to figure out where to take Mom this Sun-day worry no moremdashfamilies of three or more can treat Mom to E Sushi for free to celebrate Mothersrsquo Day

My visit convinced me that there is a lot more to E Sushi than just their ideal where-abouts High-quality product at reasonable prices does a lot to win me over and having plenty of choices never hurts either

Moments like these can make or break an evening and mean the difference between a tender kiss good night or a panicked drop-and-roll from the still-moving car as I pull up to her house Be-cause I sometimes have the dat-ing instincts of Seth Brundle I re-sponded with this little gem of an answer ldquoIrsquove been exceptionally entomophagic this week Sure we all get a little entomophagic from time to time but this week I really let my inner entomophage cut loose with beondegi kai mod daeng and even mangda paste from Thailandrdquo

Cue the blank stare followed by a visibly uncomfortable smile

I was going to explain to her that entomophagy is the prac-tice of eating insects something that humans have always done and continue to do to this day I could have explained how the re-cent concern over Starbucks us-ing ground cochineal (a tiny in-sect) as a coloring in one of their drinks is overblown since co-

chineal has been used in a wide range of foods for decades I was going to tell her how nutritional insects are and that if we ate more insects it would take a huge burden off of the environment through reducing the demand for other proteins Thatrsquos what I would have said if she had come back from the bathroom Instead I was left with a half bottle of wine and the promise of sensu-ous self-love to come

This all started about a week earlier when I stumbled on a few packages of cooked silkworm pu-pae (beondegi) while I was dig-ging around in the back freezers of Asian Market on Lee Highway I mentioned the silkworms to my friends at Asian Food amp Gifts on Hixson Pike and was quickly

whisked over to a freezer and handed a container of red ant lar-vae used to make kai mod daeng and then shown a jar of mang-da chili paste (mangda being a large water beetle that is ground with spices and aromatics into a paste) Within two hours I had

located the main ingredients for three edible insect dishes right here in Chattanooga Lucky me

I decided to roast the silkworm pupae two ways one batch with Chinese spices and the other tossed with Sriracha green on-ions and peppers I made a Thai dish Kai Mot Phat with the red ant eggs stir-fried in chilies lemon grass and fish sauce Fi-nally I made Nam Prik Mangda with steamed vegetables and sticky rice Strangely enough my adventurous eater friends were unexpectedly busy that night so I decided to make a gener-ously poured libation and try to overcome more than 40 years of prejudice against eating insects in one daring solo meal

Maybe it was the vodka but I kind of enjoyed the Kai Mot Phat The ant eggs provided a sour slightly citrus contrast to the chilies and fish sauce The Nam Prik Mangda was only slightly less appealing with its dark fi-brous texture and mildly metallic yet flowery smell which I under-stand is the primary contribution of the water beetle Then came the silkworms

Irsquove seen Andrew Zimmern eat praying mantis lips scorpion scrotum and whatever else some-one hands him on ldquoBizarre Foodsrdquo and have always maintained I would try anything anyone else considers food But the roasting

silkworms smelled like Snookiersquos bathroom after a long night on the Shoremdasha mixture of burning hair musty taint and boiled pea-nuts They tasted earthy and nut-ty which is another way of saying they tasted like dirty mildewed nuts The almost burnt ones were the least offensivemdashcrunchy out-side and slightly firm inside The rest were still a bit crunchy on the outside but gave me an un-expected money shot of slightly viscous liquid when I bit into it Letrsquos just say the silkworms were ldquochallengingrdquo

If my foray into entomophagy did nothing else it solidified the idea that culture and experience have a dramatic effect on taste Just like chitterlings and pigs feet in the South many of the foods I tried are considered ldquocountry foodsrdquo in their home country These dishes may be shunned by some and savored by others but when removed from the context of their culture we have to take care that novelty doesnrsquot become an excuse for condescension That said I still donrsquot think wersquore going to see a scorpion on a stick vendor at Fresh on Fridays any-time soon

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In one of your past lives I think you must have periodically done something like stick your tongue out or thumb your nose at pre-tentious tyrantsmdashand gotten away with it At least thatrsquos one explanation for how confident you often are about speaking up when everyone else seems unwill-ing to point out that the emperor is in fact wearing no clothes This quality should come in handy during the coming week It may be totally up to you to reveal the truth about an obvious secret or collective delusion Can you figure out a way to be relatively tactful as you say what supposedly canrsquot or shouldnrsquot be said

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taurus actor Daniel Day Lewis will star as American president Abraham Lincoln in a film to be re-leased later this year Hollywood insiders report that Lewis basical-ly became Lincoln months before the film was shot and throughout the entire process Physically he was a dead ringer for the man he was pretending to be Even when the cameras werenrsquot rolling he spoke in the cadences and ac-cent of his character rather than in his own natural voice It might be fun for you to try a similar ex-periment in the coming weeks Taurus Fantasize in detail about the person you would ultimately like to become and then imitate that future version of you

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The idea of a housewarming party comes from an old British tradi-tion People who were moving would carry away embers from the fireplace of the home they were leaving and bring them to the fireplace of the new home I recommend that you borrow this idea and apply it to the transition yoursquore making As you migrate toward the future bring along a symbolic spark of the vitality that has animated the situation yoursquore transitioning out of

CANCER (June 21-July 22) My friend Irene has a complicated system for handling her catsrsquo food needs The calico Cleopatra de-mands chicken for breakfast and beef stew at night Caligula insists on fish stew early and tuna later Irsquom bringing your attention to this Cancerian because I think you could draw inspiration from it Itrsquos in your interests at least tempo-rarily to keep your loved ones and allies happy with a coordinated exactitude that rivals Irenersquos

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) The

moonrsquos pale glow shimmers on your face as you run your fingers through your hair In your imagi-nation 90 violins play with sub-lime fury rising toward a climax while the bittersweet yearning in your heart sends warm chills down your spine You part your lips and open your eyes wide searching for the words that could change everything And then sud-denly you remember you have to contact the plumber tomorrow and find the right little white lie to appease you-know-who and run out to the store to get that gad-get you saw advertised Cut Cut Letrsquos do this scene again Take five Itrsquos possible my dear that your tendency to overdramatize is causing you to lose focus Letrsquos trim the 90 violins down to ten and see if maybe that helps

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22) ldquoWe all need a little more courage now and thenrdquo said poet Marvin Bell ldquoThatrsquos what I need If you have some to share I want to know yourdquo I advise you to adopt his ap-proach in the coming days Virgo Proceed on the assumption that what you need most right now is to be braver and bolder And con-sider the possibility that a good way to accomplish this goal is by hanging around people who are so intrepid and adventurous that their spirit will rub off on you

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22) In the Byrdsrsquo 1968 song ldquoFifth Dimen-sionrdquo the singer makes a curious statement He says that during a particularly lucid state he saw the great blunder his teachers had made I encourage you to fol-low that lead Libra Now would be an excellent time for you to thoroughly question the lessons yoursquove absorbed from your im-portant teachersmdasheven the ones who taught you the best and helped you the most You will earn a healthy jolt as you decide what to keep and what to discard from the gifts that beloved authorities have given you

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) What are the most beautiful and evocative songs you know What are the songs that activate your dormant wisdom and unleash waves of insight about your pur-pose Whatever those tunes are I urge you to gather them all into one playlist and listen to them with full attention while at rest in a comfortable place where you feel perfectly safe According to my reading of the astrological omens you need a concentrated dose of the deepest richest most healing emotions you can tap into

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Tourists rarely go to the South American nation of Guy-ana Thatrsquos mostly because much of it is virgin rain forest and there are few amenities for travelers In part itrsquos also due to the reputa-tion-scarring event that occurred there in 1978 when cult-leader Reverend Jim Jones led a mass suicide of his devotees Last year after travel writer Jeff Greenwald announced his trip to Guyana and said he was glad he went The lush tangled magnificence of Guyana was tough to navigate but a blessing to the senses and a first-class adventure Be like him Sagittarius Consider engaging with a situation that offers chal-lenging gifts Overcome your biases about a potentially reward-ing experience

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19) ldquoYou have more freedom than you are usingrdquo says artist Dan Attoe Allow that taunt to get under your skin and rile you up in the coming days Capricorn Let it motivate you to lay claim to all the potential spaciousness and in-dependence and leeway that are just lying around going to waste According to my understanding of the astrological omens you have a sacred duty to cultivate more slack as if your dreams depended on it (They do)

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18) If yoursquove been tuning in to my horoscopes during the past months yoursquore aware that I have been encouraging you to refine and deepen the meaning of home Irsquove been asking you to integrate yourself into a community that brings out the best in you Irsquove been nudging you to create a foundation that will make you strong and sturdy for a long time Now itrsquos time to finish up your in-tensive work on these projects Yoursquove got about four more weeks before a new phase of your lifersquos work will begin

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20) Is your BS-detector in good condi-tion I hope so because itrsquos about to get a workout Rumors will be swirling and gossip will be flour-ishing and you will need to be on high alert in order to distinguish the laughable delusions that have no redeeming value from the en-tertaining stories that have more than a few grains of truth If you pass those tests Pisces your reward will be handsome Yoursquoll become a magnet for inside infor-mation valuable secrets and un-usual but useful clues that come from unexpected sources

Even though the post-card doesnrsquot go into de-tail about the remaining photos or photographers featured Irsquom intrigued enough to want to pay the old Hunter a visit and see whatrsquos what Irsquom a huge fan of not only rock lsquonrsquo roll but also photogra-phy especially when the subject matter is some-thing or someone I enjoy

I suspect this exhibit may or may not feature some of the more memo-rable rock nrsquo roll photo-graphs that are tattooed in my memorymdashKeith Richards sitting under poster that reads ldquoPa-tience Please A Drug Free America Comes Firstrdquo Gram Parsons in a Nudie suit standing in the desert Pete Townshend in mid-swing of smashing a guitar as Keith Moon kicks over his drum kit the iconic yet ironic pho-tograph of The Pretend-ers neatly dressed on the cover of their second al-bum

Itrsquos no light-bulb rev-elation that the images of rock stars captured in photographs help add a visual element to the au-dio art they make Isnrsquot that why album covers are so iconic Listen-ing to ldquoSgt Pepperrsquosrdquo is a little more interesting when yoursquore staring at the album cover trying to figure out how many stars you can identifymdashand then wonder why theyrsquore there And when

you see a press photo of The Beatles heading out on the train to enlighten-ment with the Maharishi or whoever their mystery becomes a little deeper than ldquoI wanna hold your handrdquo

In fact to me looking at photos and video of my favorite artists perform-ing is just as much part of the audio experience as the catchy tunes But thatrsquos probably true for anyone who enjoys live music Why would any-one want to stand and watch someone play an instrument if that action didnrsquot add a certain feel to the experience of hearing a song being played right in front of you

When a photographer snaps a cool photo of that action the image some-times becomes as much a part of pop culture as the music Regardless band photographymdashwhether iconic or notmdashhas always been a tool of market-ing Back in the 1980s I remember taking many a photo of local bands standing against brick walls to be used as 8rdquo x 10rdquo black-and-white glossies in hopeful press kits Sad-ly none of those acts ever

made any of us famousI say ldquousrdquo because

some photographers have enough hits to be rock stars themselves Several come to mindmdashAnnie Lebovitz who has photographed just about anyone you can name Bob Gruen who might be best known for his photos of John Len-non in his NYC T-shirt Henry Diltz whose pho-tos can be found on more than 100 album covers it seems I donrsquot know if the work of any of these pho-tographers is included in the exhibit at the Hunter but if so theyrsquore likely still making a buck on that fateful snap of the shutter

Irsquom glad rock pho-tographers earn a little chunk of change every time their work is (le-gally) used Otherwise we probably wouldnrsquot have as many people out there capturing the hundreds upon hundreds of shots required to get that one jewel that may eventu-ally become emblazoned in our minds each time we hear a certain band or song Irsquom sure Irsquoll be singing at the top of my lungs (in my head) when I see what the Hunter has rockinrsquo Check it out

Every Picture Tells a Storylast week the hunter museum unveiled a new exhibit called ldquoSound and Vision Monumental Rock and Roll Photographyrdquo which fea-tures 40 famous photos of rock lsquonrsquo roll royalty The postcard I received in the mail contains a photo of the Rolling Stones likely taken during the shoot for the ldquoBetween The Buttonsrdquo album cover back in the mid-1960s so Irsquom sure thatrsquos one of the 40 Only 39 left to see
