    Dew Review: America‘s Legacy As ‘The Last Cargo Cult’

    Dew Review: America‘s Legacy As ‘The Last Cargo Cult’
    We Americans are the First World, we may have recently forgotten. We set standards emulated often enough by an entire planet. Those Lesser Worlds continue to look at us. Heaven help them, convincingly argues one playwright in town. If you or anyone in your household needs a remedial lesson in Personal Finance 101, Mike Daisey’s one-man show The Last Cargo Cult may keep you out of summer school. If you or anyone in your household doesn’t know what a “cargo cult” is, Google it. And if that’s the case, resign yourself to be mad, once again, that your high school U.S. history ...

    ’100 Saints You Should Know’

    ’100 Saints You Should Know’
    Life comes loaded with admonition. We should go to church. We should eat our veggies. We should not smoke. We should sit up tall. We should act our age. Last night’s Southeastern-premiere preview performance of 100 Saints You Should Know examines the "ought" theme, painfully cutting across generations, genders, and other genres of the human experience. The current production at the Actor’s Express Theatre Company in West Midtown highlights the thespic prowess of Carolyn Cook in the lead role of Theresa, a youngish woman fighting motherhood while cleaning toilets for a living. Her personal battle mirrors a much more private struggle exhibited ...

    Art & Design: Was His Name Arthur? Or Was She Called Designay?

    Art & Design: Was His Name Arthur? Or Was She Called Designay?
    Country came to town yesterday. Rarely had it looked more genuine, or more chic. Pasty, pale-white but sporting love as their real fashion statement, the older couple of tourists left CNN Center, presumably after taking in the well-done Atlanta studio tour. Both wore standard-frame glasses and sensible walking shoes. They stopped at the nearly ever-busy intersection of Marietta Street and Centennial Olympic Park Drive. She consulted a small map in her hand, then asked his opinion. Several nods and a change of traffic lights later, they crossed the street and headed into the park. He wore still-blue jeans, with a hint of a home-iron ...

    The Rain, This Time Of The Year

    The Rain, This Time Of The Year
    The rain this time of year in Atlanta isn't just a force of nature, it's a way of life anathema to 'most everywhere else. The drops are both reverie and reveille, all at the same time. The atmosphere, it seems, is mourning the dying of summer. The earth is rallying its forces to prepare for winter. Its inhabitants seem uncertain about the current state of transition, yet remain captivated by the return to school, the throw of the ball, and other nostalgic tugs. In a relatively seasonless region, it's an interesting night of flashes, deluges, and strange quietude. The streets of downtown ...

    Y’all: A Word By No Other Name
    Y’all listenin’? Y’all better hear this correckly the first time, cuz I ain’t about to repeat myself. Thanks, I got that corn-patch one-liner about high-test Southern gossip from the Gospel of TV variety shows, “Hee-Haw.” Y’all younger kids might not remember it, but ask the older folks. I know they all remember it. Thanks, I thought y’all would like that. So, please, now, sit right down, y’all, so y’all hear me straight up. Y’all gonna git it once and for all from the git-go, OK?: How does y’all spell “y’all”? This is a righteous, most religious, question, mind y’all, with all kinds of serious implications ...

    ‘How Many Times…’

    ‘How Many Times…’
    Based on the online obituary’s time stamp, she died just a short while earlier this Wednesday evening, but the earthy, authentic voice of Mary Travers of “Peter, Paul, and Mary” fame will continue to live on for some time, and not just in the trio’s videos on YouTube either. Among the stories told online Wednesday night, Ms. Travers’ obituary, posted just twelve minutes ago on The New York Times website, highlights the challenge of marketing the folksy musical group to mainstream American audiences during the early 1960s, given the trio’s participation in civil rights and anti-war activities. The group performed in ...
