Response to "Worst in Show":
Take Action
Dear Alibi,
In response to Joshua Lee’s article “Worst in
Show: Legalize it, you dopes” (V.25 No.26 | June
30-July 6, 2016), he offers many valid points in
the form of statistics and comparisons but falls
way short on solutions. Actually, he didn’t offer
any. The article is useful in pointing out how
great Colorado is for legalizing weed and how
backward and hick-like New Mexico is for not.
I recently was turned down for a job with a
federal contractor because of medical cannabis.
Not that I was currently using it but that I had in
my past. The job for which I was applying
required a security clearance and included an indepth background investigation. I admitted to my
prospective employer that I had, in the past, used
medical cannabis and asked if this might
disqualify me. The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) which conducts and
approves the investigations is a federal
organization and has pretty much a zero tolerance
in regards to cannabis in any form. I ratted myself
out to spare the company any expense it would
incur when requesting the background
investigation. If I were to be denied, they would
have to eat the cost. The company researched the
matter with OPM and the issue turned out to be a
deal breaker.
Out of frustration, I wrote up a letter and
emailed it to every US congressperson in New
Mexico. Just for kicks, I sent the letter off to every
state legislator in New Mexico as well. In my
email to our state politicians, I explained that if
the State of New Mexico is going to have a
medical cannabis program, then they should offer
protection to those who are licensed users from
being turned down for employment because of it.
I specifically asked the New Mexico politicians to
consider protection for state employees who are
licensed to use medical cannabis. I know, through
research, that it will be almost impossible to
require private companies not to discriminate
when it comes to any drugs. The main consensus
across the country is that if a company wants to
maintain a drug-free workplace, then that is their
choice.
I also sent an email to the governor.
I had absolutely no hope of receiving a reply. I
was ranting much like Mr. Lee. To my surprise,
several emails popped up in my inbox. A few,
“I’m sorry but medical cannabis is a schedule one
drug and did you contact your US rep, blah, blah,
blah,” but there were two representatives who
were interested in my dilemma. They even
expressed interest in possibly sponsoring a bill
offering protection for state workers, but each
offered the caveat that the governor was sure to
veto any such bills.
I was surprised, again, when I received a call
from one of the governor’s aides. The woman
politely thanked me for contacting the governor’s
office but the governor was not interested in my
proposition (no surprise there).
The next call came from the house majority
office in Santa Fe. The gentleman I spoke with
told me I had a valid point and he was very
interested in pursuing the matter. He advised me
that he was going to refer the possibility of giving
protection to state workers to the house legal
office for further research. I was blown away. I
sent emails into the void expecting nothing, and
here I was receiving a call from the house
majority office. Run by republicans!
So back to Mr. Lee’s article. Yes, many of us
know of the benefits to legalization, but the
problem is that few of us know what to do about
it. What I learned from my issue was that if we
want to make a change, we need to take action.
One of the state reps who emailed me encouraged
me (and others in a similar situation) to get
involved in the electoral process. Valid point. We
all cry about change, but many times we are too
discouraged to do anything about it. It made me
realize that if the citizens of New Mexico want
legalized cannabis then we have to do much more
than complain to one another. We need to
become thorns in the sides of those who make the
laws. We need to vote those out of office who are
not sympathetic to our causes (Susana), and we
need to make ourselves be heard. Sure, an article
helps, but politicians need something more
concrete. They need to hear personally from their
constituents (that’s us, by the way) in the form of
emails, phone calls, letters or even visits to their
offices.
I’m not an activist. I don’t know anything
about grass roots or mobilization or press releases
or organizing large groups of people. But what I
have learned is that my tiny voice, shouting into
the void, was heard, and maybe there is hope for
these politicians (or as Mr. Lee refers to them,
“scaly bastards”). Sure, some of them may be akin
to used-car salesmen, but some actually care.
Those are the ones we need to call into action.

Workers at an animal shelter on the island of
Guernsey were surprised and relieved after a
“dead cat” brought in by a local resident turned
out to be a dirty hand puppet. According to
the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, a “very upset member of
the public” brought what was believed to be a
dead cat wrapped in a blanket in a box after
hours. The manager on duty told the person to
take a seat and went to examine the body for
any identification or a microchip. Upon
examination, however, the dead cat turned out
to be an equally lifeless hand puppet—of a dog,
no less. The black and white puppet was
washed and all is well—or as the GSPCA put
it on the group’s Facebook page, “dead wet
muddy insect-covered cat arrives at GSPCA is
revived to a fit & well dog despite a nose
injury.” Anyone in Guernsey missing a dog
puppet is encouraged to contact the GSPCA.
On its website, the society went on to cite
several other emergencies it has faced that
turned out to be otherwise, including “an
injured crow was a black bag,” “a hedgehog
rescue once turned out to be a pine cone,” “a
call to a sick seal on a beach was in fact a
duvet,” and “also a possible dead dog on a
beach was another duvet.”

Meanwhile, in Amsterdam, police kicked
down the door of an apartment to rescue a
woman who turned out to be an inflatable sex
doll. Amsterdam Police said in a Facebook post
officers were called to the dwelling by
neighbors who reported looking into the
apartment’s window and seeing a woman
standing motionless for a long period of time.
Officers spotted the woman, dressed only in
her underwear, standing at the window and not
moving despite them ringing the doorbell and
knocking on the door. Officers eventually
broke through the door and “indeed found a
lifeless woman,” but she was “made of plastic
and filled with air.” According to Amsterdam’s
De Telegraaf newspaper, officers moved the
blow-up doll away from the window to prevent
further confusion. It was unclear if police
actually contacted the resident of the
apartment regarding the sex toy.
Dateline: Washington, D.C.
A man under house arrest for gun possession had
the perfect alibi when police quizzed him about a
murder—he was at home at the time, and his
court-ordered ankle monitor proved it.
Unfortunately, investigators soon discovered that
the man’s ankle monitor had been attached to his
prosthetic leg. According to authorities, 44-yearold Quincy Green swapped out his prosthetic leg
and its attached GPS monitor for a spare limb
and left the residence on May 19 to shoot Dana
Hamilton. According to the Washington Post,
Green was ordered confined to his home in April
while awaiting trial on gun possession charges.
For reasons still being investigated by authorities,
a privately contracted technican placed the GPS
monitor on Green’s prosthetic limb. A witness
identified Green as the shooter in the May 19
incident, but detectives checked with the city’s
Pretrial Services Agency and learned that Green
hadn’t left his house in days. Investigators viewed
camera footage from the area near the shooting
and spotted a gunman with an obvious limp. A
police search of Green’s home turned up a box in
his living room containing his artificial leg with
the tracking device still attached to the ankle. A
spokesperson for California-based Sentinel
Services, which sent the technician to attach
Green’s monitor, said the technician did not
notice Green’s leg was fake, telling the Post, “We
believe it was absolutely human error.” Green has
now been charged with second-degree murder.

The mayor of White Settlement, Texas, is
blaming an anti-cat City Council for evicting a
beloved feline from the local library. The White
Settlement City Council voted 2-1 at a June 14
meeting to give the White Settlement Public
Library 30 days to find new how for Browser, the
former shelter cat that has lived at the public
facility for about six years. “This is not just a cat,
it’s like a family pet,” former Councilman Alan
Price told the Grizzly Detail newspaper. The
former councilman went on to say that supporters
“will petition for an election if we need to—we’ll
take this to November.” Mayor Ron White
described Browser’s eviction as petty retaliation
for a city employee who was not allowed to keep
a puppy at City Hall. “We’ve had that cat five
years, and there’s never been a question,” White
told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “That cat
doesn’t hurt anybody. ... The Council just went
out and did this on their own because they don’t
like cats.” White said he will call for the Council
to reconsider its decision at an upcoming
meeting. Browser has his own Facebook page and,
according to the Grizzly Detail, received “an
outpouring of support” at the last meeting. a

APD Use of Force Investigations
Criticized
Court-appointed independent monitor James
Ginger filed his third report on the
Albuquerque Police Department’s efforts to
comply with the Department of Justice’s
required policy changes on July 1. According
to the report—which tracked the
department’s progress through March of this
year, APD failed to properly review use of
force cases. One case in particular was
mentioned by the review team—the alleged
kneeing of a suspect in the head by an officer
in October 2015—and involved every level of
the department’s oversight system.
According to the report, although the
unnamed officer involved in the incident
violated at least one policy, their supervisor
waited more than two weeks to report it. City
officials say the department’s higher-ranking
officers have been trained in the new use of
force policies since March, and any problems
found in the report have already been
remedied. The report did however point out
improvements made by SWAT teams in the
use of de-escalation techniques during
standoffs and other high-stress situations.
Griego Corruption Hearings
Begin
Former State Senator Phil Griego faces
charges including fraud, bribery and
tampering with public records in a four-day
New Mexico District Court hearing that
began Tuesday. Griego plead not guilty to the
charges brought against him by prosecutors
in Attorney General Hector Balderas’ office.
Prosecutors allege the former senator
received a $50,000 dollar broker’s fee as
part of a real estate deal involving the sale of
a state historic site, and that he neglected to
disclose this information while state
lawmakers voted on the sale in 2014. In
March 2015, rather than face disciplinary
actions resulting from an ethics investigation
of the deal, Griegos resigned from the Senate
after holding office for more than 18 years.
The case has been plagued with delays—
eight judges excused themselves from the
proceedings, citing possible conflicts of
interest, but only specifying “other good
cause” on court recusal forms. Delays also
occurred after the Legislative Council
Service—the administrative arm of the New
Mexico Legislature—questioned whether
legislative staffers should have to testify and
whether the findings of an internal Senate
ethics probe of Griego should have to be
turned over to prosecutors. But State
District Judge Brett Loveless ordered state
lawmakers and their staff at the Legislative
Finance Committee to testify at the hearings
this week. If convicted of all counts, Griego
could face up to 28 years in prison and more
than $40,000 in fines.
Martinez Not Speaking at
Convention
Governor Susana Martinez has said she will
not be speaking at next month’s Republican
National Convention in Cleveland. Donald
Trump, who is expected to receive the
Republican nomination for presidential
candidate, told the New York Times that any
members of the party who did not endorse
him would not be speaking at the convention,
and it is unlikely that Martinez will be invited.
During Trump’s Albuquerque rally, he
criticized Martinez, saying she was “not
doing the job,” and the governor has
previously denounced Trump’s positions and
candidacy. a

New Drinking Laws Revealed
Growlers, DWI and handling a traffic stop
BY CAROLYN CARLSON
ore places to buy beer growlers and
tougher repeat DWI sentences are among
the new statewide rules that went into
effect July 1. The laws were passed by the state
Legislature during the February 2016 session.
These two interesting laws both tighten, and
loosen alcohol-related laws.
M
Get Growling
New Mexico likes its beer, especially its
craft beers. In addition, the state is getting to
be known for its many excellent
microbreweries. According to the New Mexico
Ale Trail, there are about 42 microbreweries
across New Mexico. This new law makes it
possible for licensed liquor stores across the
state to sell and fill up carryout growlers from
your favorite local brewery. Good news for
beer folks who want to try out the many
boutique beers being produced around the
state in the comfort of their homes.
A view of the State Capitol Building.
Bad Boozers
New Mexico tops the nation for DWI
related deaths, accidents and other problems.
Governor Susana Martinez recently
announced the annual summer DWI blitz that
includes increased check points, more
saturation patrols with officers across statewide
jurisdictions on the hunt for impaired drivers.
New DWI laws should give folks something
to think about before getting behind the wheel
buzzed. The new rules allow for drunk drivers
who kill people to be sentenced the same as
second degree murder. This brings the
maximum penalty for vehicular homicide
while intoxicated up from 6 years to 12 years
for each person killed.
For those racking up multiple DWIs, it will
now be a second degree felony for the eighth
or subsequent drunk driving conviction. This
will now carry a minimum of 10 years in prison
with 12 years possible, with no chance of a
suspended sentence.
What To Do?
Summertime brings more opportunities to
enjoy a cold beer and other alcoholic drinks.
Don’t risk hurting someone or yourself—call a
friend, take a bus or call Uber.
But if you are driving, how should you
behave during a law enforcement interaction?
The American Civil Liberties Union makes its
recommendations based on decades of cases
interpreting the Constitution. The
organization maintains that politely knowing
and exercising your rights is the front line to
protecting yourself legally and physically.
Remember, regardless of your immigration or
citizenship status, your rights are protected by
the Constitution.
If you are pulled over, you must show your
driver’s license, registration and insurance if
asked by a police officer to produce them. But
you don’t have to consent to any search of
yourself or your car. If you’re given a ticket,
you should sign it; otherwise you can be
arrested. If you disagree with the ticket, ask for
your day in court. Also remember that, in
practically any citizen/law enforcement
interaction, the officer is just as wary of you as
you are of them. You can promote a proactive
result by remaining calm and forthright.
If you find yourself at one of the many
sobriety roadblocks that pop up just around
bar-closing time, remember that refusing to
take a DWI test—be it blood, urine or
breath—may result in a suspension of your
driver’s license, and you’ll be arrested for a
higher charge than if you’d complied. What if
police have a warrant? A warrant means the
police are going to enter your owned or rented
property, this includes your car, then search
and seize things—including you, possibly.
If police have a warrant, they may knock
on the door, be professional and courteous,
and explain there is a court order allowing a
search. Or they may use force that includes
paramilitary tactics and dozens of SWAT team
members armed with guns and flashbang stun
grenades. It is better to comply than to be
shot.
With all that in mind, here’s a handy
Weekly Alibi guide on What To Do If You’re

Stopped By The Police:
• Be polite.
• Think carefully about your words,
movement, body, language, and emotions.
• Remember, anything you say or do can be

• Keep your hands where the police can see
them.
• Don’t run.
• Don’t touch any police officer.
• Don’t resist even if you believe you are
innocent.
• Don’t complain on the scene or tell the
police they’re wrong or that you’re going to file
a complaint.
• Do not make any statements regarding
the incident.
• Ask for a lawyer immediately upon your
arrest.
• Remember officers’ badge and patrol car
numbers.
• Write down everything you remember
ASAP.
• Try to find witnesses and their names and
phone numbers.
• If you are injured by police, take
photographs of the injuries as soon as possible,
but make sure you seek medical assistance first.
• If you feel your rights have been violated,
file a written complaint with the police
department’s internal affairs division or
civilian complaint board, or call the American

OPINION | ¡ASK A MEXICAN!
BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO
BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO
Dear Mexican: I teach a volunteer class to
kids in the ‘hood, most of them Latinos (many
of them Mexican). I like the kids a lot, but
how can I justify teaching kids that may be
illegals over kids that are legal? Shouldn’t I
cater to kids whose parents have been paying
taxes for years? Shouldn’t we “take care of
our own” first?
ear Mexican: Tell me
one thing Mexico is
good for?
-MAGA Man
D
Dear Gabacho:
Paying more taxes
than Donald Trump.
Read on…
-Gabacho’s Moral Dilemna
Dear Mexican: The other
weekend, I met a Mexican girl at bar. Hoping
to score some points, I pretended that I, too,
was Mexican. Between my non-descript
ethnicity, (Eastern European and Vietnamese
… chabacho, perhaps?), my command of
Spanish, and some carefully timed quotes
from Blood in, Blood Out, I managed to pull it
off ... con mucho éxito. It got me thinking: Do
Mexicans ever pretend to be other ethnicities?
Do light-skinned jaliscienses ever go under
cover as gabachos? Do Mexicans sometimes
set aside their orgullo to go the Lou Diamond
Phillips route? I’m dying to know.
-Carlos Chan
Dear Chinito: All the time! When
Mexicans hang out with Middle Eastern folks,
we like to boast that we have an uncle that
looks just like Saddam Hussein; when we’re
with Jews, we say that our grandmother
observed weird rituals, like lighting candles on
Friday and never preparing pork. The lighterskinned among us continually claim that we
had a Frenchman in our family tree that
decided to stay in Mexico after the Hapsburg
occupation; Xicanxs with full beards will attend
Native American powwows and boast they’re a
direct descendant of the last honest tlatoani of
Tenochtitlán. That’s the thing about Mexicans:
We’re everything … except Salvadoran.
Dear Gabacho: Since you’re volunteering
your time, you have every right to be a pendejo
in your private life. But refry the following
frijoles: Primeramente, the Supreme Court’s
1982 decision in Plyler v. Doe found it
unconstitutional to deny public education to
undocumented kiddies, so if you’re doing this
via a school, better keep your bigoted views to
yourself lest you get a lawsuit. Also, don’t forget
that “illegals” pay un chingo of taxes; a report
released this year by the Institute on Taxation
& Economic Policy found undocumented
immigrants pay about $12 billion in state and
local taxes despite their lack of legal status.
“Undocumented immigrants’ nationwide
average effective tax rate is an estimated 8
percent,” the report said. “To put this in
perspective, the top 1 percent of taxpayers pay
an average nationwide effective tax rate of just
5.4 percent.” That’s probably more than Donald
Trump! Finally, study after study show that
those illegal kids are more driven and smarter
than “legal” kids. Besides, these are children
we’re talking about; hating on kids trying to get
ahead in life is all we need to know about our
modern, paranoid 21st-century ‘Murica. With
morals like yours, the US deserves our future
Chinese overlords sooner rather than later. a

Starts at 9pm. +21. (Robin Babb) a
Over the past few months, students, faculty and staff members at the
University of New Mexico have raised concerns about the school’s seal,
arguing that it is a symbol of racism. The seal depicts a conquistador and
a frontiersman, and some believe that these two figures glorify violent
colonialism and white supremacy. Do you have a say in the matter? If so,
speak up! The Office of Academic Affairs will host a series of public
forums regarding the UNM seal where alumni, community members,
staff and students are encouraged to share their opinions. The first of
these meetings will be held on Tuesday, July 12, at noon in the UNM

Oh, the Places You Will Go

The Albuquerque and Bernalillo County Public Library’s departure from the everyday
Here we have the wild books in their natural habitat.
Main library
BY MAGGIE GRIMASON
uring meager times in Baltimore I quickly
came to understand with little abstraction
that nothing is free in this world—not
even a place to sit down. I passed whole days
in the city park unless it was raining, the
anarchist bookstore when it was, but more
often than not, I spread my pencils, my
notebooks and my books on a big table at the
public library. With a clarity that was new at
the time, but that I have not lost since, I
realized how important and rare a space like
the public library is—where you can have
something for nothing, where you can sit,
work and read unguardedly.
“It’s a comfortable, welcoming space that
feels safe and it feels like its yours,” Dean
Smith, the Director of the Albuquerque and
Bernalillo County Public Library explained.
He construes the public library as a kind of
“third space”—not your home, not your place
of employment, but a place that’s part of the
community, where all are welcomed and feel
comfortable spending time and taking up the
space, without the onus of picking up the bill
on your way to the exit. “In a lot of
communities, we don’t have town squares, we
don’t have court houses where people gather
D
and share, so in many places, the public library
is now it,” Smith continued as we sat in the
upstairs offices of the main branch, windows
looking outward to a not yet fully awake
Downtown. An avid reader and an ever
enthusiastic patron of the library, I felt as
though I was accessing the most secret rooms
and annals of a space that has been close to my
heart ever since I touched down in
Albuquerque.
That space, that I thought was so familiar
to me, is even more expansive than I realized.
Our local library hosts more than 300 public
events every month for all ages. On top of that,
two locations—the main library and the Unser
and Central branch—possess what’s been
dubbed “Trep Centers,” that is, informal spaces
that support the development of budding
entrepreneurs and local businesses. “It’s
highlighting all of our existing resources,
pulling them together, with staff for reference
… pairing our traditional resources that will
help a small business with all the resources
that are Downtown,” Smith explained. As
such, the library provides not just physical
space to work and plan, but also creates a
bridge between individuals and the wealth of
goods and support systems available to them
that they might not yet be aware of.
In that vein, let me take this opportunity to
mention the multitude of things available
solely through the public library that you may
not be aware of. Did you know that you can
check out novelty cake pans? Or how about
kilowatt meters to measure the electricity you
use at home? Were you aware that you can
stream ad-free music on your phone or
computer for free with your library card, and
even download songs for keeps? Or check out a
pass to a local museum that allows you to get
in for free? These are just a few of the literal
ocean of materials and services that are at your
fingertips when you apply for that slim piece of
plastic called a library card. “The only mistake
that people can make is to not make use of
their public library, to not have a card, and to
not ask if we have something that they’re
looking for,” Smith said. And really, you might
as well ask, because who knows what other
shrouded treasures the library has in its
county-wide reaches.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for,
reaching out is easy. “We don’t purchase our
collection assuming we know what the
customer wants,” Cindy Burns, the Branch and
Customer Services Director explained. “We
buy things that people make recommendations
for.” Because, effectively, the library is yours. It
is something that both Burns and Smith
continually returned to over the course of our
conversation—that as individuals we might
not be able to afford a collection of novelty
cake pans or a library of 1.2 million books and
other materials, but by pooling our resources
we are able to share these incredible assets,
which is particularly important when it comes
to equalizing access to technology—“There’s a
whole mix of people who rely on us [for these]
resources … They might be low-income, they
might be homeless … it allows them to access
friends and family, to access news and
information [and] to book appointments.
There is no Medicare office, immigration
office, no IRS office, that you can go into and
use computers [to fill out mandatory
paperwork],” Smith continued.
And, whether you love Jane Austen and
Annie Proulx (as Smith does) or Margaret
Atwood (like Burns), the library, not least of
all, has books. Millions of them. Whether
turning a page or downloading music, baking a
cake shaped like Spongebob Squarepants or
watching online tutorials (see lynda.com)—
the library still, after all these years perusing
the stacks—has the ability to surprise and—
yes, I’m a geek and I’m going to go there—
thrill. It’s all yours, and it’s as easy as grabbing
your library card and making your way to one
of the Albuquerque and Bernalillo County’s 18
locations. a

“I am a weapon of massive consumption.” A
line from Lily Allen’s song “The Fear” speaks
perfectly to the tone of Tokyo Ghost. In a world of
media oversaturation and emotional escapism, we
have nowhere to go but down—or at least that’s
how artist Sean Murphy and author Rick
Remender see it. Their Tokyo Ghost is a love letter
to Japanese manga and anime wrapped in a punk
rock ethos. The writer and artist share the same
affinity for Akira that they do for the Dead
Kennedys’ Bedtime for Democracy, and it shows in
their collaboration on Tokyo Ghost. The book
follows Led Dent and Debbie Decay as they
maneuver their way through a future Los Angeles.
Saturated with excess, the world has found itself
so engrossed with film and television that all of it
can now be delivered directly to your mind while
you’re “jacked in.” This is now the norm in LA,
where no one works for a living. Instead, they
chase fulfillment through emotion-inducing drugs
and beamed-in programming. Even Led himself,
who is a bounty hunter of sorts, is so jacked in that
he barely registers his longtime girlfriend Debbie
anymore. Debbie—the only “pure” resident left in
Los Angeles (she even refers to herself as “straight
edge” at one point)—refuses to submit to the
culture that has overtaken the city. The couple
have a run-in with malcontent Davey Trauma (a
character who seems to be a nod to AFI singer
Davey Havok). After the altercation, Debbie and
Led are allowed to leave for Japan where an
electromagnetic pulse has eliminated technology
and the people are forced to live a simpler lifestyle.
Debbie views this as a second chance at a normal
life, while Led struggles with a new kind of
sobriety. From here the book switches gears,
taking less from cyberpunk-style anime like Akira
and Ghost in the Shell and drawing more
inspiration from historical action series like Path of
the Assassin and Samurai Executioner. Ditching
some of the sci-fi trappings, the book relies on the
simple feudal Japanese aesthetic and ethos to
move the characters and the story forward. All of
these things lead to an intense finale to the first
volume that leaves many questions unanswered
and an opportunity for a bigger story to develop.
Remender crafts the characters superbly, adding
backstory and a great deal of emotional realism to
Led and Debbie’s relationship. On top of that, Sean
Murphy does an amazing job crafting the style and
vision of this addiction-driven culture. Everything
is rendered vividly, balanced with a larger-than-life
scope. Big panels and beautiful page layouts show
off the depth of Los Angeles. At the same time,
Murphy manages to show the beauty of this new
Japan, focusing on gorgeous forests and waterfalls
with a serene stillness to them. This great mixture
of art and story make the book near impossible to
put down. Tokyo Ghost comes in hard and fast and
leaves you waiting for the next fix. a

The Murphy's Mule Barn Method of
Manning Up
BY JOSHUA LEE
made fresh limeade last week. I hurt my arm
squeezing the limes. I kept saying, “These
limes just aren’t ripe enough. Not ripe at
all.” But I knew the truth. I was weak. Soft—
like all of America.
We don’t have any rites of passage here—
unless you count getting a driver’s license—no
way of turning a boy into a man. In the
Amazon, the boys of the Satere-Mawe tribe
stick their hands into gloves lined with bullet
ants weaved into the fabric. The bullet ants’
bites are excruciating, and the pain lasts for 24
hours. The initiates suffer hallucinations and
out-of-body experiences. Something strange
and new comes out of the other end of an
experience like that: a goddamn man.
Meanwhile, I still buy toys and watch
cartoons. MVD doesn’t compare.
Which hopefully explains the high pitch of
my voice as I entered Murphy’s Mule Barn,
gently rubbing my forearm and complaining
about the heat. The patrons—regulars in
cowboy hats and boots—eyed me warily. They
could unconsciously smell the weakness in me
that I was blissfully unaware of.
The dining room was sparsely decorated
with pictures of mules and statues of mules.
Classic diner-style booths and tables lazed
beneath slowly turning ceiling fans. I took a
booth and looked out the window at a
grounded marquee near the entrance to the
parking lot. “Come in as a stranger,” it said,
“leave as our friend.”
I looked at the menu before my server
showed up. It was all standard fare, country
cooking—comfort food that has always had a
place near my heart, and not in that bad
cholesterol kind of way (well, maybe that way,
too). Mashed potatoes, two-egg breakfast,
burgers, gravy-soaked chicken-fried steak the
size of a baby. I was salivating when my server
arrived to take my order. But just as she was
asking if I was ready, my eyes lit upon the
legendary dish that has been the butt of half
the world’s food jokes: liver and onions.
“Oh. Shit. Um,” I said. A sudden urge
overwhelmed me. I struggled against it,
knowing all the while I was just
shadowboxing, pretending to fight so I could
grasp the remaining shreds of my dignity as I
felt myself fold beneath the pressure of
impulse. “What do you think about the liver
and onions? Should I do it?”
She stopped cold, looked at me from the
corner of her eye. “You like liver?”
“I don’t know. Never had it.”
She pursed her lips for a second. “If you
don’t like it, you can send it back.”
“Oh no, no, no, no,” I said. “I can’t be
doing that sort of thing.”
Her eyes were now gleaming with curiosity.
Or mischief. “I’ll buy it for you.”
It was a challenge, and although I might
not have been a real man, I also didn’t want
anyone knowing about it. The challenge was
accepted. I ordered the grilled liver ($8.95)

Vibe: Down-home country lovin’
Alibi recommends: Biscuits and gravy, grilled liver
and onions, chicken-fried steak
and rattled off a few other dishes that I’d
hardly considered. Somewhere in the back of
my mind a voice shrieked in terror of the
unknown. I calmly sipped soda from a straw
and regarded the laminated number posted on
a wire frame that sat on my table.
She came back and laid plates on the table.
“Remember that line in The Silence of the
Lambs?” she asked and laughed. “‘I ate his
liver ...’” As she walked away, I could feel her
attention wandering in my general direction. I
stared at the liver and onions, but I played it
cool and pushed the plate aside to focus on
the other dishes I’d randomly ordered. The
first that caught me was the order of biscuits
and gravy ($4.50). Some amount of muscle
memory was definitely involved, since I was
basically raised on biscuits and gravy between
the ages of 2 and 23.
And here’s something you probably didn’t
know about ol’ Joshie: I fucking love sausage
gravy. I’ve requested that I be buried in a
sealed vat of the stuff, which my lawyer
assures me is illegal due to certain health
codes that will be violated in the process (but
between you and me, I know a guy in Las
Cruces). So you can trust the integrity of my
taste when I tell you that this gravy was shityour-pants-and-drool amazing. I would eat it
with a shovel.
Next to it was another classic: Ashley’s
chicken and waffles ($9.25). The juicy
chicken came in strips, battered crispy and
flaky, and the waffle was a gargantuan
monster, fluffy and thick enough to be
considered a cake. With one strip and a
quarter of the waffle gone, and with more
than half of the biscuits and gravy to wade
through, I realized there were still pounds of
food to go, and I started to receive signals
from my belly telling me to turn back.
The grilled liver still sat patiently next to a
mound of (delicious) mashed potatoes and
brown gravy. I pulled it closer, and
methodically cut a square of the tender meat,
placed it gingerly in my mouth in case things
went wrong and it needed to be expunged
immediately. I’m no hero, dear reader, and
“martyr” was never on my résumé. But the
anxiety and worry proved unfounded. The
liver was the best part of the meal (opiate-like
gravy, notwithstanding). My server came
back, dragging along the advice that most
people eat it with A.1. steak sauce, but I
passed on the suggestion and went full bore.
At some point, the blood from my brain,
which had been diverted to my stomach
(where all the hard work was going on) finally
sent a few pumps back to the noggin. In a
dense and comforting fog, I received the
frantic signal to stop before I popped like an
over inflated balloon.
I somehow managed to make it to the cash
register, where my heaping stack of to-go
boxes seemed incongruous with the tiny, tiny
bill. I was becoming increasingly alarmed at
the pressure in my middle, though, and
wouldn’t consider the crazy deal until later.
For now, I was trying desperately to scan the
contents of my mind for any information on
people who have eaten themselves to death. I
found nothing but wisps and phantoms.
I left, limping slightly and holding the wall
for support. In the parking lot, I finally came
up with a good complaint about the place.
“No wheelbarrows!” I barked to no one in
particular before falling to my knees. I was
seeing stars. My stomach was bursting with
seared liver.
I felt something rustling under my shirt
collar and tugged it open. There, blooming
like wild flowers was a bramble bush of rich,
curly chest hair. It was then, dear reader, that
I became a man. a

Ever-Expanding Pizza Dough om
Local pizza chain Dion’s announced the opening of
their 22nd restaurant location a few weeks ago,
and now another local chain, Pizza 9, has
announced the opening of a new location in Las
Vegas, Nev. The new spot opens in 2 months and
will employ 50 people. It’s no surprise that the
chain is doing so well—there are more than 20
locations in New Mexico and Texas, and the
Franchise Business Review listed Pizza 9 in its
“Guide to Today’s Top Franchises.”
City Seeing Less Failed Health
Inspections
There are fewer restaurants in ABQ failing their
health inspections this year. Woo hoo! Never let it
be said that Duke City isn’t willing to go that extra
mile and meet average standards. According to city
health records, only 21 places in the metro area
have been slapped with the dreaded “Red Tag of
Doom” so far this year, compared with a whopping
144 businesses that failed in 2013. Mark DiMenna,
Deputy Director for the City of Albuquerque’s
Environmental Health Department told KRQE that
many of the red tags seen in the past were due to
business owners failing to pay fees. If you’d like to
see how a particular business did, you can find the
results at cabq.gov.
Eat Your Way Through Santa Fe
Food Tour New Mexico has offered tourists and

to include dinner tours of our favorite funky

can experience progressive fine dining that includes
wine pairings with meals and history lessons on
local cuisine. The tour will feature four stops and
the first venture starts within the next two weeks.

Just Point to It
Research done by the University of New Mexico
has shown that slapping giant arrows on the floors
of a supermarket that point customers toward the
produce section can increase sales of fruit and
vegetables by 15%. I’m pretty sure that means
people don’t realize they can buy produce at
grocery stores. Either that or arrows can make
people buy anything. a
BY JOSHUA LEE
The scorching Albuquerque summer
will drain even the toughest
customer. All the traditional methods
of signalling your manliness to others
(like pumping iron in the park or
“accidentally” spilling a vitamin-rich
smoothie all over your sweet pecs
while hanging out at the health food
store) is made nearly impossible by
the will-sapping heat. But fear not.
Nothing shows that world that you’re
a hard-assed, testosterone-driven

limeade. Trust us.
1 1/4 cups sugar
8 cups water (1/4 cups reserved for
simple syrup)
1/4 cups lime juice (about 9 or 10
limes)
Ice
1. Make simple syrup by heating
sugar and 1/4 cups water together
over med-high heat until ingredients
dissolve. Remove from heat and place
in refrigerator until cool. (Pro tip: If
you want to be a real he-man, try
flavoring the syrup by adding mint
leaves, ginger, fruit or what-have-you
before cooling. Then strain out the
additives before using.)
2. Squeeze the limes like an alpha
dawg (if you use store-bought lime
juice, they’ll be able to taste the
weakness).
3. Pour cooled syrup, lime juice
and remaining water into pitcher.
Add ice.
4. Continue to suppress any
delicate memories related to
summertime, limeade and your
relationship with your father. a

Cookies ... and More! is a cozy bakery nestled in
the lush greenery of the Far North Valley. Café-style

Van Rixel co-owns with his brother, Tim. “We try to

can.” Most of what Chocolate Cartel produces is
European-style truffles, flourless chocolate cakes,
chocolate-covered nuts, bars, even made-fromscratch gelato—all roasted, rolled, dipped and
packed by hand. But tucked in there is a Mayan
drinking chocolate based on an ancient formula.
With freshly ground almonds, cinnamon and red

that you have to arrive early before all the goodies
run out.

Goonies Never Say Die
Movies on the Plaza hits the Harry Kinney Civic

(around 8:30pm). Some chairs will be set up, but
people are encouraged to bring their own
seating. This is a dog- and bike-friendly event.
Parking is available underneath Civic Plaza. And
if you’re in the mood for more ’80s action, come

State of Filmmaking
The man, the myth, the moviemaker.
De Palma
No nonsense documentary lets film industry icon analyze his own art to a fault
BY DEVIN D. O’LEARY
oted movie director Brian De Palma is a
film nerd’s film nerd. Like Quentin
Tarantino long after him, he’s the sort of
idol-worshipping movie lover who’s spent his
career noodling around in the realm of his
heroes. In De Palma’s case, it was a major
obsession with Alfred Hitchcock that fired up
his filmmaking blood. And, no matter how
much De Palma has grown as an artist and an
innovator, the DNA of Hitchcock’s ghoulish
psychological thrillers has remained evident in
his work. He came out of the same generation
as, and was close pals with, industry kings
Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Francis Ford
Coppola and Steven Spielberg. This was the
“New Hollywood” generation of the 1970s, a
group of filmmakers who—unlike the
workhorse directors of Hollywood’s Golden
Era—were known primarily as cine-literate
film school graduates. Despite a handful of
hits, De Palma’s films (Phantom of the Paradise,
Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface,
Body Double, The Untouchables, Carlito’s Way,
Mission: Impossible, to name a chunk) have
marked him more as a well-institutionalized
cult director with prurient tastes and an
aggressively visual camera style.
The filmmaker finally gets his propers,
though, with the release of the highly-focussed
documentary De Palma. Directed in no-frills
style by fans Noah Baumbach (director of The
Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding and
Frances Ha) and Jake Paltrow (director of The
Good Night, Young Ones and a bunch of
“NYPD Blue” episodes), De Palma doesn’t
bother with critical analysis of De Palma’s
oeuvre. It doesn’t dig up friends and
contemporaries to shed insight into the man’s

character. It just cuts to the chase. The film
plops Mr. De Palma down in front of a
fireplace and lets him talk. And talk he does,
in a lucid, nonstop stream. The garrulous De
Palma runs down his family history, his
introduction to cinema, his education, his
Hollywood connection, and just about every
film in his resumé. In the process, De Palma
sheds light on both the filmmaker (who turns
out to be a fascinatingly down-to-earth mix of
film-loving intellectual and Hollywood
construction worker) and the infamous era
from which he emerged (the indie-film-fueled,
young Turk time period of the 1970s).
De Palma unspools somewhere between
long overdue tribute and grad-school lecture.
Controversial for most of his career—due in
no small part to his many battles with the film
ratings board over sexuality and violence—De
Palma comes across these days as a perfectly
mainstream mentor to today’s hard-R-loving
filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino. You
won’t get a particularly deep refutation of the
many accusations critics have levied against
De Palma for being a misogynist. Instead, he
comes across as an unpretentious artist,
perfectly comfortable with his lowbrow
obsessions. Speaking about a particularly
gruesome and phallic construction drill used to
kill a female character in 1984’s Body Double,
De Palma is nothing but practical; he chose it
because he needed a weapon long enough to
go through the floor so that the protagonist
below could witness it. Asked about his choice
of films and what that says about him as an
artist, De Palma admits that directors have
little control over what they make and when
the make it. One project falls apart, another
comes along. You make the film that you can
make at the time. De Palma doesn’t read too
much into his decisions, and other people
probably shouldn’t either.
Oddly enough, there’s no need for fancy
filmmaking tricks here. No slow-mo, no 360degree pans, no split screen narrative—all of
which, of course, were made famous by De
Palma. The man normally behind the camera
simply steps in front of it to break down the
business of moviemaking for viewers. On top
of that, the filmmakers present a string of
expertly chosen film clips to give you all the
visual information you need. Amusing,
analytical and quite open about his art, the
film’s sole subject proves to be an entertaining,
engrossing and painfully honest raconteur.
Why was such an over-the-top gunfight to
close out Scarface, you ask? Star Al Pacino
burned his hand and was off-set for two weeks.
De Palma was just spinning his wheels and
ended up shooting a ridiculously
comprehensive sequence of mayhem. That’s
just how it happened. De Palma simply and
rather beautifully captures the chaos of
making art in the film industry. It’s often a
battle to get a project off the ground. And it’s
only after the work is complete that one can
look back and judge success or failure.
Reflecting over a lifetime of commercial hits,
box office bombs, friendships, broken love
affairs and dream projects that never even got
off the ground, De Palma (the man and the
documentary) demonstrates that art is not an
end result, but a lifelong struggle. a
The 2016 New Mexico Filmmakers Showcase
will take place Friday and Saturday, July 8 and 9,
at the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s Bank
of America Theater (1701 Fourth Street SW).
Earlier this year, the New Mexico Film Office put
out a call to all filmmakers in our state, looking
for submissions in the following categories:
Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Comedy,
Documentary, Animation and Music Video. On
Friday, starting at 6pm, there will be an Awards
Ceremony and a screening of the top films from
each of this year’s categories. This will be
followed by a networking mixer for local film
talent. On Saturday, starting at 11am, join
organizers for a “cream of the crop” event
featuring the top three films in each of the seven
category. Admission to both days is free.
Winning films will get to tour New Mexico later
this year, in conjunction with local theaters and
state film festivals.
Serenity + Charity
The Albuquerque Browncoats are proud to bring
the annual Can’t Stop the Serenity event to
KiMo Theater (423 Central NW) this Saturday,
July 9. This global sci-fi charity film screening
and geek chic shindig was started back in 2006
by Hollywood writer-director-producer Joss
Whedon and fans of his cult TV show “Firefly.”
Every year this event raises money for Equality
Now and other select local charities around the
world. Doors open at the KiMo at 5pm. Costumes
are, of course, encouraged. Pre-show starts at
6pm with comedians, short films and more. The
main event is at 7:30pm, a screening of
Whedon’s “Firefly” spin-off feature film Serenity.
Charity auctions, doorprizes, raffles and more
will be woven throughout the evening. The everpopular Big Damn Swag Packs (full of exclusive
pins, stickers, postcards and more) are available
to the first 200 advanced ticket buyers. You can
get your tickets ($10 each) online at
kimotickets.com. All proceeds will go to benefit
Equality Now and UNM Children’s Hospital. For

artoon Network’s late-night Adult Swim
programming block has made its
reputation as a repository for transgressive,
experimental, “anti-comedy” in both animated
and live-action form. Over the years, the
network-within-a-network’s programming has
transitioned from the mostly odd (“Aqua Teen
Hunger Force,” “Fat Guy Stuck on Internet,”
“Frisky Dingo,” “Moral Orel”) to the truly
bizarro (“12 oz. Mouse,” “Xavier: Renegade
Angel,” “The Heart, She Holler,” “Tim and
Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!,” “Check it
Out! with Dr. Steve Brule”). Now, writerproducer Brad Neely (“I Am Baby Cakes,”
“The Professor Brothers,” “China, IL.”) steps
up with an animated sketch comedy series that
continues to push Adult Swim into the further
reaches of the aesthetically and comically
challenging category.
We can start, of course, with the title.
“Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio”
(originally titled “TV Sucks” until weirder
heads prevailed) tells you an awful lot about
the show you’re potentially about to watch. It
makes no sense at first glance ... and even less
the more you look at it. “Harg Nallin’ Sclopio
Peepio” is essentially a repository for halfformed and abandoned ideas left over from
“China, IL.” That particular show, surreal as it
might have been at times, had some semblance
of a concept. Set in the “worst college in
America,” “China, IL.” concentrated on a
group of professors as they got drunk, screwed
around and did just about anything in their
power to not perform their jobs. “Harg Nallin’
Sclopio Peepio” is just a barrage of micro
sketches—most under a minute long. Neely’s

JULY 7-13, 2016
taste for musical comedy comes out in the
form of the countless songs that dot the series
as demented music videos or the intro theme
songs to nonexistent sitcoms. (Neely has
allegedly composed around 100 of these shortplay ditties.) Played in rapid-fire succession,
the sketches time out to about 15 minutes per
week. Any more than that and your head
would probably explode.
The simple, pastel-colored animation from
Neely’s other outings makes an expected
return. An assortment of guest stars (Affion
Crockett, Ilana Glazer, Darrell Hammond,
Gabourey Sidibe) pop up occasionally to voice
a character or two. But, as in previous series,
it’s Neely himself who provides most of the
voices. And the humor? Well, one indicative
segment babbles on about Donald Trump,
“wearing a trench coat with, like, two living
goats for shoes and, like, nine rings made out
of cheese. And, you know, he’s got no eyes,
and he’s got those hand teeth and them, like,
ankle testicles. And he’s, like, living in
Antarctica with, like, half a cyborg procedure
done. But, uh, he’s there with the cast of
Goonies and they’re, like, working as his
butlers.” Uh huh. Other representative
sketches include “Pre-Teen With a Predator’s
Head,” a sexy music video about leaf blowers,
a clip in which naked basketballers slam dunk
and a brief ode to God as a roommate (“He
lives in my space. ... He ate all my shit.”) It’s
not “funny: ha-ha.” It’s “funny: um, OK.” Fans
of Adult Swim’s increasingly surreal, poststoner, insomiac comedy might get it. All
others are advised to stick to the “Futurama”
reruns. a

FILM | CAPSULES
BY DEVIN D. O’LEARY
OPENING THIS WEEK
Bound For Glory
In honor of Woody Guthrie’s birthday, Guild Cinema
presents Hal Ashby’s detailed 1976 bio-pic about the
famed singer-songwriter. David Carradine stars. (Opens
Tuesday 7/12 at Guild Cinema)
De Palma
Reviewed this issue. 107 minutes. R. (Opens Friday 7/8 at
High Ridge)
Gurukulam
The newest entry into the “sensory experiential movement”
of verité films (Sweetgrass, Foreign Parts, Leviathan) is this
quietly observational documentary following a group of
students and their teacher as they confront fundamental
questions about the nature of reality and self-identity at a
secluded ashram in rural India. Rather than explain what’s
going on, the filmmakers simply sit back and allow this
contemplative life to find its own cinematic rhythm. 108
minutes. Unrated. (Opens Friday 7/8 at Guild Cinema)
The Secret Life of Pets
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
This raunchy comedy is (very) loosely based on the (sorta)
true story of two brothers who advertised for wedding dates
on Craigslist. Zac Efron and Adam Devine are the bozo
bros. Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza are the skanky
ladies who pretend to be “nice girls” in order to score a free
trip to Hawaii. There’s a lot of nudity and cursing. 98
minutes. R. (Opens Thursday 7/7 at Rio Rancho Premiere
Cinema, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX, Century 14
Downtown, Century Rio)
The Music of Strangers
Academy Award-winning documentarian Morgan Neville
(20 Feet From Stardom) profiles celebrated cellist Yo-Yo
Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. The group brings together master
musicians from around the world (Iran, China, Spain) to
teach, collaborate and perform. Music fans will be
enraptured. The word here is “joyous.” 96 minutes. Unrated.
(Opens Friday 7/8 at Guild Cinema)
A Night in Casablanca
The Marx Brothers are behind this anarchic 1946 film,
employed at a hotel in postwar Casabalanca and trying to
recover a cache of stolen treasure from some nasty Nazis.
Not their absolute best, but plenty of fun tomfoolery. 85
minutes. Unrated. (Opens Saturday 7/9 at Guild Cinema)
The Secret Life of Pets
From the makers of the Despicable Me films comes this
manic, animated comedy about a terrier named Max who
regularly invites his animal friends to hang out at his place
while their owners are away at work. Max’s happy life is
interrupted one day, though, when his owner adopts a stray
mutt whom Max instantly dislikes. Hijinks ensue. A who’s
who of comedians (Louis C.K., Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate,
Albert Brooks, Ellie Kemper, Steve Coogan, Hannibal
Buress, Dana Carvey) are on talking animal duty. 90
minutes. PG. (Opens Thursday 7/7 at Rio Rancho Premiere
Cinema, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX, Century 14
Downtown, Century Rio)
Singin’ in the Rain
This 1952 classic is arguably (though you’d be hardpressed to find a stronger contender) the greatest movie
musical ever mounted. Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and
Debbie Reynolds star in this tale of a silent movie studio
trying to turn its squeaky-voiced female star into a singing
sensation. “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Make ‘Em Laugh,” “You Are
My Lucky Star”: Classics all. 103 minutes. G. (Opens
Sunday 7/10 at Century 14 Downtown, Century Rio)
Sultan
A middle-aged wrestling champiion (Salman Khan) tries to
make a comeback to represent India in the Olympics. In
Hindi with English subtitles. 170 minutes. Unrated. (Opens
Friday 7/8 at Century Rio)
STILL PLAYING
Alice Through the Looking Glass
Disney’s re-jiggered, live-action Alice in Wonderland returns
in another eye-boggling fantasy outing produced by (but
not directed by) Tim Burton. This time around, Alice (Mia
Wasikowska) is forced to travel back in time to save the
Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) and defeat the evil
machinations of Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen). 113
minutes. PG. (Century Rio)
The BFG
British humorist Roald Dahl’s beloved bedtime fable about
a kindly giant who refuses to eat children comes to life
courtesy of director Steven Spielberg and screenwriter
Melissa Mathison (who teamed up on a little film called
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial). Oscar winner Mark Rylance
(Bridge of Spies) gives voice to the titular (CGI-rendered)
Big Friendly Giant. 117 minutes. PG. (Century 14
Downtown, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century Rio,
Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX)
Captain America: Civil War
Marvel steps in to show DC how superhero conflict is done.
This smartly written action flick bristles with contemporary
moral quandaries. And yet it’s fast, fun and light on its feet.
Seems that the near disastrous events of the last Avengers
movie have made many question the whole idea of
superpowered heroics. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), for
example, thinks heroes should now be regulated by the
U.N. Captain America (Chris Evans), on the other hand,
thinks otherwise. What follows is a head-to-head battle that
forces a lot of familiar faces (and a few new ones) to
choose sides. 146 minutes. PG-13. (Century Rio)
Central Intelligence
Big, muscular Dwayne Johnson and tiny, motormouthed
Kevin Hart are a couple of old high school pals reunited
through Facebook for one of them buddy action-comedy
adventures. Hart is a mild-mannered accountant and
Johnson is an international superspy. Hijinks ensue. 114
minutes. PG-13. (Century 14 Downtown, Rio Rancho
Premiere Cinema, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX, Century
Rio)
Free State of Jones
Matthew McConaughey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw star in this
based-on-a-true-story historical drama about a poor
farmer from Mississippi who leads a group of rebels
against the Confederate army. This tale of racial liberation
is certainly earnest, but the limited budget and pious tone
make this more of a classroom lesson than a Civil War
epic. 139 minutes. R. (Century Rio, Rio Rancho Premiere
Cinema)
Independence Day: Resurgence
It’s been 20 years since those national monumentdestroying space aliens got destoryed by an Apple laptop
computer virus. Now it seems they’re back—and rather
embarassed for having gone out like such punks. They’ve
brought some even more humongous spaceships with
them this time, capable of causing even more CGI
destruction. It’s up to a new generation of freedom fighters
(Liam Hemsworth, Jessie T. Usher among them) as well as a
few familiar faces (Bill Pullman, Brent Spiner, Vivica A. Fox)
to kick alien ass once again. 120 minutes. PG-13. (Century
14 Downtown, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX, Century Rio,
Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema)
The Legend of Tarzan
Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”) is our Tarzan and
Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) is our Jane,
returned to Africa after several years to investigate the
suspicious goings-on at a mining encampment in Congo
on the part of colonizing Belgian King Leopold II. David
Yates (director of the last four Harry Potter movies) helms
this original story, loosely based on the books by Edgar
Rice Burroughs. It could have used a few more epic setpieces and a slightly pulpier tone, but this one gets a lot
right, balancing action and drama and giving audiences
one of the best on-screen Tarzans. 109 minutes. PG-13.
(Century 14 Downtown, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema,
Century Rio, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX)
Me Before You
The Conjuring 2
Director James Wan and actors Vera Farmiga and Patrick
Wilson return for this follow-up to the cheap chiller hit of
2013. Based on (but incredibly hyped up from) the case
files of real-life ghost hunters Lorraine and Ed Warren, this
supernatural drama takes us to North London to
investigate the infamous Enfield poltergeist incident. You
know the drill: Floating kids, loud bumps in the night,
spinning crosses, creepy voices and the occasional
demonic nun. 133 minutes. R. (Century 14 Downtown,
Century Rio, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema)
Finding Dory
Thirteen years after we went looking for Nemo, the CGI
toonsters at Pixar take us on a quest to find Dory. Actually,
Dory (the bubble-headed blue tang voiced by Ellen
DeGeneres) is looking for her long-lost parents. Naturally,
there’s a lesson about family to be learned along the way.
Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill, Diane Keaton, Idris Elba and Bill
Hader provide vocal support. Reviewed in reviewed v25 i25.
97 minutes. PG. (Century 14 Downtown, Rio Rancho
Premiere Cinema, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX, Century Rio)
Jojo Moyes’ 10-hankie tearjerker of a novel heads to the
big screen. Emilia Clarke (significantly less Dragon Queeny
here than on “Game of Thrones”) plays a small-town
English girl who forms an unlikely (and romantic, of course)
bond with the recently paralyzed man she’s hired to take
care of (Sam Claflin from The Hunger Games and Snow
White and the Huntsman). 110 minutes. PG-13. (Century
Rio)
Now You See Me 2
The gang of gonzo magicians-turned-criminals led by Jesse
Eisenberg returns for more unlawful shenanigans. This time
around they’re being blackmailed by a tech genius into
pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Daniel Radcliffe
and Lizzy Caplan join the already stuffed cast (Woody
Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine).
129 minutes. PG-13. (Century 14 Downtown, Rio Rancho

Our Kind of Traitor
Ewan McGregor, Naomie Harris and Stellan Skarsgard star
in this adaptation of the John le Carré spy thriller written by
Hossein Amini (The Wings of the Dove, Drive, Snow White
and the Huntsman) and directed by Susanna White (Nanny
McPhee Returns). In it a troubled married couple visiting
Marrakesh find themselves lured into a Russian gangster’s
plans to defect. Soon everybody’s stuck between the
Russian Mafia and the British Secret Service—neither of
which can be trusted. 107 minutes. R. (Century 14

The Purge: Election Year
The increasingly timely series of sci-fi-esque thrillers
returns for a third outing. This time around it seems a
United States Senator (Elizabeth Mitchell) is the frontrunner to become the US President. Her first order of
business? Eliminate the Purge, which allows Americans to
commit any crime they want for one day each year.
Naturally, this makes her a major target of anarchy-loving
killers during this year’s bloody Purge. Can Sergeant Barnes
(Frank Grillo, a survivor from The Purge: Anarchy) keep her
alive? 105 minutes. R. (Century 14 Downtown, Rio Rancho
Premiere Cinema, Century Rio, Grande 12 Albuquerque
IMAX)
The Shallows
Blake Lively (of “Gossip Girl”) stars in this minimalist horror
thriller for Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra (House of
Wax, Orphan, Non-Stop). She plays a young surfer who is
attacked and stalked by a great white shark a mere 200
yards off shore—touching off a contest of wills in which our
harried heroine must marshal all of her strength and skills
in order to survive. 87 minutes. PG-13. (Century 14
Downtown, Grande 12 Albuquerque IMAX, Century Rio, Rio
Rancho Premiere Cinema)
Swiss Army Man
This exceedingly corporeal, existential comedy stars Paul
Dano (There Will Be Blood) as a suicidal loser stuck on a
deserted island. Hope arrives in the form of a dead body
(Harry Potter himself, Danielle Radcliffe), which washes up
on the shore. Our protagonist befriends the flatulent

The X-Men timeline (rebooted all to hell by 2014’s X-Men:
Days of Future Past) heads into the 1980s with a handful
of familiar faces (James McAvoy’s Professor X, Jennifer
Lawrence’s Mystique) and a bunch of unfamiliar ones
(Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey, Alexandra Shipp’s Storm). This
time around an immortal mutant from ancient Egypt (The
Force Awakens’ Oscar Isaac) is back and trying to wipe out
all of humanity. There’s plenty of action to be had, but the
script feels far too cliché-filled and retrograde explodey in
today’s post-Civil War MCU world. 144 minutes. PG-13.

Hot Tuna then and now

�"I've Got Fiery Fingers, I've
Got Fiery Hands"�
Jorma & Jack bring Hot Tuna to Madrid
BY AUGUST MARCH
In the fall of 1992, I decided to drive the
Bimmer to Florida. It was still my old
man’s car and he hadn’t gotten the stereo
wiring figured out. That was okay; I had good
company on the way and didn’t need to listen
to anything but another human voice.
When the car broke down outside of
Panama City, a farmer stopped where we were
stranded on the side of the road. He figured
out what was wrong; we were back on the road
just before sunset. I changed the oil in Tampa,
drove across “Alligator Alley” and dropped my
friend off at Miami International.
At first, the way back was lonely. I stopped
by a rest stop outside of Orlando and fiddled
with the radio. There was a cassette tape
called Quah, by Jorma Kaukonen stuck in it.
After sweating and swearing over the mess for
about half an hour, I got the tape deck to work
and it began playing the first side of Jorma’s
first solo effort after leaving Jefferson Airplane.
First came “Genesis,” a song about love,
loss and a crossing into the future. When the
auto-reverse feature kicked in and the second
side began with “I am the Light of This
World,” a stunningly syncopated, traditional
“
blues piece about the mystical transformation
of a man named Jesus Christ, I knew I would
be able to find my way back to Burque.
When I got there, I dug into the Jefferson
Airplane catalog. I buried myself in Hot Tuna,
the band Kaukonen formed with Airplane
bassist Jack Casady when both saw the end of
their psychedelic flight approaching.
Years later, I got a chance to speak with the
man who made my trip home possible. Of
course he’s still jamming, turning out
beautifully intricate tunes filled with longing,
awesome fingerpicking and the deep, plaintive
voice of America. He told me he’s bringing his
band to New Mexico this weekend for the first
ever Madrid Ballpark Folk and Blues Festival. I
told him that was damn good, that I couldn’t
wait to hear him play.
Jorma and I talked about music, heroic
happenstance and psychedelic situations too.
Here’s a transcript of that conversation I had
with the man who flew with an awesome
airplane, landed somewhere in America’s
heartland and made his name as a guitar god.
Alibi: Have you ever flown into
Albuquerque?
Jorma: Yes, but not as much as often as I’d
have liked to. You live in one of the most
beautiful places in the world and I am excited
to be coming out there.I grew up listening to
Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna.
I’ve got this whole story about Quah.
And now, here I am talking to you. That’s
important to me. What’s important to you
musically right now?
I’m one of the luckiest guys in the world. I’ve
always been able to play the music I love.
We’ve done some electric stuff, some folk
music, and I love it all. To be able to continue
with my storytelling, whether that story is told
by music or through the words—and have
folks like you still wanting to hear them—is
unbelievable!
Your music has a sharp narrative focus, in
addition to the fine fingerpicking technique
that you’ve mastered. Tell me about the
guitar part.
It’s like a multi-layered conversation. It’s an
odd corner of the musical universe. I love to
teach the technique. My wife and I have a
school in Ohio called the Fur Peace Ranch
that focuses on musical development. To be
able to pass on some of this cool stuff that I’ve
learned over the years, that’s my real goal. One
of my funny quotes is, “I loved Elvis, but he
couldn’t fingerpick.” Ironically, Ike Everly, the
Everly Brothers’ father, could fingerpick and
played with folks like Merle Travis and Mother
Maybelle [Carter]. Those were big influences
for me. The fingerpicking thing is something
that guys like me can really relate to; we can
geek out on it until the cows come home.
What initially interested you in this style of
guitar playing?
I started playing the guitar when I was 14 or
15. I just wanted to play songs. The songs I
wanted to play tended to be simple country
songs. Lots of Carter Family pieces. I loved the
sound of the guitar. There were certain
qualities about the timbre of a solo acoustic
guitar that just set me on fire. [Legendary
bluesman] Reverend Gary Davis talked about
how guitarists have three hands. One hand,
the left hand, curls around the fret-board to
make notes. The right hand is actually two
hands. The thumb is roughly analogous to a
pianist’s left hand, it handles the bass part; the
rest of the fingers define a melody.

RIO CHAMA:
1 DAY & 3 DAY
MOST FUN AND
BEST SERVICE.
That’s some trippy Tuna, man.
So once you decided on and began perfecting
your technique, you left the East Coast and
ended up in San Francisco, where you got
deeply involved with the first generation of
psychedelic rock. How did that happen?
I’m an accidental tourist. I moved to
California in 1962 to attend UC Santa Clara.
I’d only been fingerpicking for a couple of
years. The first weekend I was out there they
had a hootenanny. Those sorts of dances and
accompanying musical performances were very
popular in California in the early ‘60s. I met
Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia and Ron McKernan.
We were all folkies. For some reason we all got
interested in rock and roll. At the time it
seemed like a seamless transition. In retrospect
it seems like a huge leap, but really it was a
natural evolution. Jerry and Ron’s first band,
The Warlocks, was straight-up rock and roll.
But psychedelics were legal in 1962 and as you
know, musicians, given their nature, love to
experiment. Those two factors changed
everything.
How did experiences like that lead you to
Jefferson Airplane?
The year I moved to Santa Clara, a friend of
mine introduced me to a local folkie named
Paul Kantner. We became friends and a couple
years later he asked if I had a guitar and did I
want to play in his band. My father was
revolted for a while until he realized we were
playing real music. Now I find it funny, in a
good way, that the music we discovered
accidentally, through experimentation and
collaboration, became a genre within rock and
roll.
As the era ended and the Airplane began
coming apart, what happened?
We were such a bunch of disparate characters,
but we did have a unified vision, wanted to
make music together. We always supported
each other’s artistic choices. And we practiced
relentlessly, 8-10 hours a day. Toward the end
of that, when Jack (Casady) and I left the
band to form Hot Tuna, I didn’t feel that sort
[32]
WEEKLY ALIBI

VIA WIKIPEDIA
of familial cohesiveness anymore. Paul
[Kantner] rest his soul, may disagree, but it was
time to move on.
So that was when Hot Tuna took off, right?
Again, it was just fortuitous syncronicity. Jack
and I had been playing together since 1958.
We went to the same high school in D.C. We
had been doing what became Hot Tuna in
hotel rooms, occasionally on stage, for years.
As the Airplane was becoming less loving, the
Hot Tuna thing just confirmed how much Jack
and I dug music. We started playing all the
time. It was another natural transition.
Of all that work with the Airplane and with
Hot Tuna, what’s the truest expression of
your musical vision?
I’m really fortunate because I’ve never made
an album I’ve been ashamed of. The first live
Hot Tuna record is still great. I really like
Burgers, our first studio album. On our next
album Jack and I are thinking of going back to
basics: a live, in-studio recording without
overdubs.
What’s the Hot Tuna audience like now? I
know Gen-Xers and boomers really dig your
style, but how do you relate to younger
audiences?
Obviously some people have our music as part
of the soundtracks of their lives. But a lot of
really young people come out to our gigs and
they love to hear us play. We play good, but
there’re a lot of dudes who play good. Our
music is honest, we’re not bullshitting around
man. We’re not posing; we’re telling people
how we feel, and that makes our audiences feel
good. Even if you weren’t lost in the ‘60s or
‘70s you can appreciate that sort of vibe. a

Who profits from
climate change?
Now that the sea levels are rising,
I'm sure someone out there is

making a few quid/bucks (not that
I'm interested myself, you
understand). Who will profit—or
indeed profiteer—from this sea
change?

I submit to you, Chris, that given the
various depredations of our modern era,
the distinction between profiting and
profiteering is, like the Louisiana coastline,
rapidly eroding. In the olden days,
profiteering involved an emergency, such
as war, motivating an enterprising fella to
rush in and make an easy buck. Now, of
course, we face a prospect of constant
emergency, from steadily rising sea levels
to increasingly extreme storms to lethal
heat waves. It’s a good time to be in the
air-conditioning business, is all I’m saying.
But there’s profiting and there’s profiting,
if you know what I mean. So in the spirit of
Old Testament-style judgment, I thought I’d arrange
various ways one might cash in on climate change
from least to most evil. Those wanting to make a
profit in this arena are advised to stick near the top
of this list if they want to keep their souls.
Renewable energy. One hopes, frankly, that there’s
a greedy upstart or two out there trying to get rich
off solar, wind, geothermal, etc; may they ever
proliferate.
Flood mitigation. A proposed set of enormous
gates, to be installed south of New York City’s
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge as protection from
another Hurricane Sandy-like storm surge, might
cost something like $10 billion to build—which is
frankly a steal given the potential scale of future
flooding damage. Per tech website the Verge, flooddefense construction’s an industry that’s “poised to
take off”: it might hit $2 billion in the US by 2020.
Trade. Hey, ice might be melting in the Arctic faster
than any place else in the world, but that’s a boon
for shipping. When the Northern Sea Route—along
Russia’s Arctic coast and through the Bering
Strait—is open, as opposed to frozen, the trip from
Europe to China shortens by nearly a third.
Land grabs. Foreseeing a lack of arable land and
worrying about food shortages, investors in the US,
China and elsewhere are buying up turf around the
globe. When “sellers” are coerced by their own
governments to play ball (as in Ethiopia and
Cambodia), you can see where this might result in a
little geopolitical tension. How tangled a web is
this? A 2014 study found that Chinese investors
had purchased land in 33 countries; Ethiopia had
sold land to 21 countries. A study from 2013,
meanwhile, guessed that between 0.7 percent and
1.75 of agricultural land worldwide had either
already been transferred from local to foreign
ownership or was then in the process of being thus
grabbed.
Arctic tourism. We recently discussed here a
Russian nuclear icebreaker that offers two-week
cruises to the North Pole. If you’re thinking about a
longer and cushier vacation, the cruise ship Crystal
Serenity, with a per-passenger carbon footprint

WEEKLY ALIBI
JULY 7-13, 2016
Water. A New York hedge fund called Water Asset
Management LLC has begun buying up water rights
worldwide in response to increasing drought. In a
Bloomberg article on climate-change investment,
one financial adviser complains of an “overemphasis
on [global warming’s] negative impacts”; kudos to
these guys for their glass-half-full optimism, not to
mention their pioneering adoption of a new form of
economic colonialism. (Yes, moviegoers, you saw
this at the very end of The Big Short, where it’s
revealed that the Christian Bale character, the
hedge-fund wonk who foresaw the housing crash,
has since gone all-in on water.)
Arctic drilling. You’ll note the pleasing circularity at
work here: By burning enough fossil fuels to warm
the Earth sufficiently to melt the polar ice caps,
we’ve now gained access to yet more fossil fuels
buried under those ice caps. There remain some
challenges to extracting them: logistical, because
the weather up there sucks; political, because
Barack Obama has placed restrictions on the
practice. Still, one Bloomberg analyst said recently
he’d be “very surprised” if these hurdles put oil and
gas companies off forever. They’re nothing if not
plucky.
Then there are cases where the ethics-payoff
calculus gets more complicated. We hear lots of
kvetching worldwide about the melting of
Greenland’s ice sheet, but folks in Greenland are a
good deal more sanguine about it—they anticipate
that as ice depletion renders minerals, oil and gas
more accessible and improves the local fishery, the
island might finally have enough cash on hand to
declare its independence from Denmark. So they
benefit, albeit in a somewhat fraught manner.
And I haven’t even mentioned the Israeli
desalination company now selling snowmaking
machines to Alpine ski resorts, the firms providing
high-end private firefighting services to rich
Californians, or any other of the go-getters who
demonstrate again and again the irrepressible
vitality of the free market. The possibilities, really,
are endless. Unlike, say, the continued health of the
planet.

Chicago Reader, 350 N. Orleans, Chicago 60654.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Events in the coming
week may trick your mind and tweak your heart. They
might mess with your messiah complex and wreak
havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize
your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries.
They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up
your evolution, and spin you in circles with such lyrical
grace that you may become delightfully clear-headed.
Will you howl and moan? Probably, but more likely out
of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might
you be knocked off course? Perhaps, but by a good
influence, not a bad one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the book A Survival
Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change, the
authors tell you how to raise your stress levels.
Assume that others are responsible for lowering your
stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change
anything about yourself. Hold on to everything in your
life that’s expendable. Fear the future. Get embroiled
in trivial battles. Try to win new games as you play by
old rules. Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions
on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they
advise. Exercise regularly. Don’t drink too much
caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few
strong personal goals, and let go of lesser wishes.
Practice forgiveness and optimism. Talk to yourself
with kindness. Got all that, Taurus? It’s an excellent
place to start as you formulate your strategy for the
second half of 2016.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Normally I’m skeptical
about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and
stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about
a “silver bullet” that can simply and rapidly repair an
entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution
as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months.
While I don’t believe that a sweeping transformation
is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I
suggest you open your mind to it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I gaze into my crystal
ball and invoke a vision of your near future, I find you
communing with elemental energies that are almost
beyond your power to control. But I’m not worried,
because I also see that the spirit of fun is keeping you
safe and protected. Your playful strength is fully
unfurled, ensuring that love always trumps chaos.
This is a dream come true: You have a joyous
confidence as you explore and experiment with the
Great Unknown, trusting in your fluidic intuition to
guide you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You can only go halfway into
the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb. “Then
you are coming out the other side.” You will soon
reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how
far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m
here to give you a heads-up. Keep the faith! Now
here’s another clue: As you have wandered through
the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons
that will come in handy during the phase of your
journey that will begin after your birthday.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My devoted contingent
of private detectives, intelligence agents and psychic
sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering
data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In
recent days, they have reported that many of you
Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling longterm decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed
about the future, and is eager to be emancipated from
shrunken possibilities. Crucial in this wonderful
development has been an inclination to stop
obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted
by transitory concerns. Hallelujah! Keep up the good
work. Think big! Bigger! Biggest!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): After years of painstaking
research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and
Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of
Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patented technique
known as Mythic Gene Engineering, they are able to
transplant the planets of your horoscope into
different signs and astrological houses from the ones
you were born with. Let’s say your natal Jupiter
suffers from an uncongenial aspect with your Moon.
The psychic surgeons cut and splice according to your
specifications, enabling you to be re-coded with the
rob brezsny
destiny you desire. Unfortunately, the cost of this
pioneering technology is still prohibitive for most
people. But here’s the good news, Libra: In the
coming months, you will have an unprecedented
power to reconfigure your life’s path using other, less
expensive, purely natural means.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In high school I was a
good athlete with a promising future as a baseball
player. But my aspirations were aborted in
sophomore year when the coach banished me from
the team. My haircut and wardrobe were too weird,
he said. I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my
edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time I
was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball
was my passion. But in retrospect I was grateful. The
coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering
me toward my true callings: poetry and music and
astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist
in your own destiny, Scorpio. What unexpected
blessings came your way through a seeming
adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to
the next level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you remember
that turning point when you came to a fork in the road
of your destiny at a moment when your personal
power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you
couldn’t muster the potency to make the most
courageous choice, but instead headed in the
direction that seemed easier? Well, here’s some
intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a
convoluted route, to a place not too far from that
original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return
there and revisit the options—which are now more
mature and meaningful—with greater authority. Trust
your exuberance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I love writing
horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights spurs
my creativity and makes me smarter. As I search for
the inspiration you need next, I have to continually
reinvent my approach to finding the truth. The
theories I had about your destiny last month may not
be applicable this month. My devotion to following
your ever-shifting story keeps me enjoyably offbalance, propelling me free of habit and predictability.
I’m grateful for your influence on me! Now I suggest
that you compose a few thank-you notes similar to
the one I’ve written here. Address them to the people
in your life who move you and feed you and transform
you the best.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After an Illinois man’s
wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t
hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a
hospital room while recovering from his lifethreatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he
still loved his attacker, and hoped they could
reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with
pathetic. Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for
their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their
maliciousness and abuse should be taboo. Keep that
standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius.
People close to you may engage in behavior that
lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but toughminded in your response.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Can water run uphill?
Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating
in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that
are comparable to water running uphill. I wouldn’t be
surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars
coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out
of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle
exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous
blessings, Pisces. They may be so different from what
you think is possible that they could be hard to
recognize.

tattoos on your left arm and above your left cheek. You
also had stylish glasses on and were sketching in your
