IN THIS ISSUE:AUGUST 25 - SEPT 9
Iwent to Augusta for an UltimateFrisbee tournament last weekend. Onmy way out of town I ran out of gas at
the intersection of Savannah Ave. andNorthside Dr. which is several blocksfrom my house. I walked a mile to Kmartin the dark to purchase a gas can, andreturned only to find two police cars withtheir sparkly blue lights dancing like astrobe around my vehicle. When it was allsaid and done, and my carwas finally revived, I wasless than amused to findthat my stereo system hadcrapped out. Nothing likea two hour drive by your-self in complete silence…If it were not for the noisecanceling headphones I had carelessly leftin my car, I would not have been able tolisten to a band that Alex Pound, bassist of
Elastic Skyline, had recommended to me ayear or two ago: Spiritualized.
This is music best played throughnoise-canceling headphones, trust me. Ikept having to remind myself to breathbecause it was literally leaving me breath-less. At certain points, I couldn’t helpwondering if I was going insane. If you’rea fan of experimental, yet extremelyrewarding music, look them up. If you
think it’s a little toospacey for you, give ita few more minutes.If the sound doesn’tgrow on you, look up“Came Out of aLady” byRubblebucket or “Fire
in the Oven” by Elastic Skyline onYouTube. They’ll be sure to put a smile onyour face. See you at happy hour!

On my way out of the City Council Meeting on Tuesday,I was thinking two things. After thoroughly lamenting the fact that I had just missedout on some dope happy hour specials at Gnat’s, I couldn’t help but think about howCity Council has got a lot of work to do in regards to the city’s prehistoric alcoholordinances.
This very point has been made clear to me many times by many different peoplesince I moved here just two months ago. However, it was made clearest to me by Mr.Kbob Kelly himself who spoke candidly, Tuesday evening at City Hall, on the behalfof the restaurant & bar community of Statesboro. Brian Kelly came to the meetingequipped with a twenty-three page suggestion for the reform of Statesboro’s alcoholordinances.
One hot topic was the price limitations put on alcoholic beverages by the city.During the meeting, a suggestion was made to enact pricing minimums in addition tothe complex pricing limitations that are already there. That means, venders cannotlegally sell a beer or shot for less than a dollar or so. “Pricing minimums prevent bingedrinking,” members of City Council explained, “We want to prevent someone fromgoing out and getting smashed on $4. It would also make it easier for cops to spot vio-lations. They can just walk into a bar in regular clothes, and if they see someone buy 3beers for $2, they’re busted. ”
Kelly, whose bar is known for it’s pricey beers, had a different idea. He replies,“It’s a matter of Statesboro’s finest; Do we want Wendell’s guys wasting their timepolicing pricing restrictions on legally operating businesses? They ought to be fightingcrime and combating DUIs. I just don’t think it’s a capitalistic way to do things.”
Among other capitalistic debates was the question of the legal last call time inStatesboro, which is 1am. Kelly suggested moving the last call time back to 2am; thus,giving business owners the freedom to decide when to close their doors. He believesthe extra hour will bring extra profits. This idea was met with apprehension by thosewho claimed that if the last call was to be made later, people would not come out asearly as they tend to now.
There appeared to me to be two resolutions that worked with seemingly everyonein the concerned crowd. First, that with many, or even most of these ordinances, itwould be far more beneficial for Statesboro to look to State code for guidance andclarity on these important issues. Second, that we must enact Restaurant classificationswith differentiated licenses.
By classifying restaurants into: Restaurants (serve only food), Taverns (serve foodand alcohol), and Bars (serve only alcohol) the city could eliminate the 50/50 rule (thatall restaurants must have at least 50% of their revenue from food sales) which hasproven to be nearly impossible to regulate and enforce in the past and present.
I can vouch that the City Council is now informed on the community’s numerousissues with the alcohol ordinances. I have only stated a few here. I look forward to wit-nessing their progress, and writing about it here.
Other Hot Topics Discussed at the City Council Meeting• Investing in a system of electronic ID scanners that are linked to a national system.• Re-enacting or abolishing an alcohol ordinance committee which some have said tobe responsible for making socially conservative decisions on a subject they know verylittle about.• Restricting servers by age (only 21 and up) and requiring them to become certified. • Fairer penalties for restaurant violations
AMY MERRITT
THE BORO’S LOVE FOR POLICING CONSUMPTION
ON THE CORNER
What do you think about Statesboro's currentAlcohol Ordinance?
Malia Imle -"What's the real issue?Because the public isn't even informed onmost of these ordinances, I know studentsare in the dark. I'm a marketing major, andI can't help but notice all of the money ourcounty is throwing out on alcohol revenue” Tori Williams - "The fact is they're takingour rights away with these ordinances. Plus,the city of Statesboro could use the extraincome from alcohol sales! All of the othercounties are enjoying it, why can't we?Rob Wilkerson - "We were just talkingabout this topic at the DowntownDevelopment Authority board meeting. Imoved here from Athens, and the differ-ences between here and there are likenight & day. There's a fear of change inthis area, but the fact is that times havechanged. The board would like to see theCity Council lift several of the ordinances,but in past they haven't budged.
“It’s a matter of Statesboro’s finest; Do we want Wendell’s guys
wasting their time policing pricing restrictions on legally oper-
ating businesses? They ought to be fighting crime and combat-
ing DUIs. I just don’t think it’s a capitalistic way to do things.”

We have become a nation for the rich, by the richCULTURAL MUSINGS
One of the very first columns I wrotefor this paper pondered the defini-tions of liberal and conservative
(politically speaking anyway). I havealways identified as liberal, but some verysmart people I know choose to call them-selves conservative. Whose approach wasthe most valid? I wondered. Who was right?
So I explored some of the identifyingmarkers, debunked some stereotypes, andcame to my final conclusion — in the end,neither liberals nor conservatives have themonopoly on common sense.
However, after witnessing the recentdebacle over the debt ceiling, I’ve decidedthat I agree with economist Paul Krugmanwhen he says that we have to abandon ourideas about political politeness and speakplainly. He says that this time there reallyis one group at fault — the G.O.P. AsKrugman says in his New York Times col-umn, “The problem with American politicsright now is Republican extremism, and ifyou’re not willing to say that, you’re help-ing make that problem worse.”
I’m not one for political name-calling.It wastes time and annoys the pig, so tospeak. But the blatant snow job being per-formed on Americans right now by the
G.O.P is so infuriating, so cruel, so unde-mocratic, so self-serving, that I feel com-pelled to say it as strongly as possible —the Republican Party is leading us to ourown destruction,and somebodyhad better findthe brakes, andfast, because wecan’t count onthe Democrats todo it. We can’tcount on the two-party system atall.
This debtceiling deal is aprime example. Itwas extortion andblackmail. Itappealed to our baser human urges. And it isabsolutely not going to solve our HUGEproblem, will only exacerbate the problem,and this will all happen right under our noses.
This is not some personal screed. I’mno economist. I can barely keep track ofthe in-go and out-come of my own bank-ing account. Which is why I rely onsmarter people than me to explain moneymatters on such a grand scale. People likeWarren Buffet. Buffett did the math anddecided that people in his tax bracket — thefive percent of Americans making over
$250,000 — should be paying more taxes.And then he explained why, very simply, thiswas the fair and right thing to do.
The outraged backlash and vitriolicspewing werestunning. FoxNews commen-tator Eric Bollingeven called him asocialist. Thinkabout that.Warren Buffet,one of the mostsuccessful capi-talists of all time,dares to suggestthat maybe heand his mega-wealthy counter-parts ought to
pay their fair share of taxes, and suddenly,he’s a socialist.
We have become a nation of the rich,for the rich, and by the rich. And every timeone of the not-rich tries to pull back the cur-tain, they get accused of fomenting “classwarfare.” Oh, there’s a war going on, allright, but it’s being waged against the poorand against the working class, and fear andself-righteousness are the ammunition.
Fox News’ recent Class Warfareextravaganza was the absolute worst.Talking head after talking head got right
into the camera’s eye to whine about theextravagance of the presidential SecretService bus on the one hand, then pooh-pooh the billions of dollars that wouldcome from a simple tax extension on theother. Since when did one million becomean enormous sum compared to seven hun-dred billion? Only in the ultra-conserva-tive brain, apparently, where even mathcan’t get a foothold.
And then — and this is the part thatreally infuriates me — Fox went on to listall the extravagances that “so-called pover-ty-level households” enjoy, things like . . .refrigerators. Like we’re not supposed toget offended at that. Like these people don’treally know poor until they’ve had to drinkspoiled milk. No wait, if they can affordmilk, surely they’re not poor, right? Ah,those tricky households of four making lessthan $22,350 a year — we see your coldmilk! And your refrigerator that most likelybelongs to your landlord!
I’ll leave Paul Krugman with the lastword. In his opinion piece, “The PresidentSurrenders,” he writes, “What Republicanshave just gotten away with calls our wholesystem of government into question. Afterall, how can American democracy work ifwhichever party is most prepared to beruthless, to threaten the nation’s economicsecurity, gets to dictate policy? And theanswer is, maybe it can’t.”

The first eagles for GeorgiaSouthern University’s “EagleNation on Parade” have
arrived and will soon be completedworks of art that will dot theStatesboro/Bulloch County area. Theeagles will add more artistic vitality tothe community, while funding GeorgiaSouthern University scholarships andresearch initiatives.
The eagles are fiberglass struc-tures that stand more than six-feet talland depict the magnificent bird aboutto take flight. Artists will be chosenthrough an application process topaint or decorate the eagles, which willthen be auctioned to raise funds. Theartists will work to embellish the eaglesduring the fall semester, and the eagleauction is tentatively scheduled to takeplace in February 2012.
“The ‘Eagle Nation on Parade’project is a perfect example of how
Georgia Southern University and theStatesboro/Bulloch County commu-nity can work together to advance artand scholarship,” said College ofLiberal Arts and Social Sciences DeanMichael Smith. “Our faculty and staffin the Betty Foy Sanders Departmentof Art have worked hard to make thisproject a reality. When it is finished, wewill have magnificent eagles on displaythroughout Statesboro and BullochCounty. And, the funds raised fromthe auction of those eagles will gotowards supporting student scholar-ships and undergraduate studentresearch initiatives.”
Betty Foy Sanders Department ofArt sculpture professor Marc Moultoncreated the design for the eagles. Apanel is deciding which artists will bechosen for the first phase of the proj-ect. The artists and their designs will bemade public in the coming weeks.

This is really happening. Lou Reed andMetallica’s collaborative album nowhas a release date, according to theelegantly titled website loureedmetalli-ca.com. Expect to hear from the unlike-ly collaborators on Nov. 1 in the U.S.and Oct. 31 worldwide. This might bethe coolest thing ever.
On Sept. 13, Common’s memoirs “OneDay It’ll All Make Sense,” will be releasedthrough Atria Books. After the success of
Jay-Z’s book of memoirs from last year,Common’s book is already getting bigendorsements from people like MayaAngelou, who is featured with a glowingquote on the cover of the book.
The book describes his life growing upon Chicago’s South Side and the trials ofhis coming-of-age success story thatexplain the man behind the “consciousrap.” Each chapter of the book startswith a personal letter sent to someoneclose to him, including frequent collabo-
rator Kanye West and ex-girlfriendErykah Badu.
To commemorate their upcoming docu-mentary Pearl Jam Twenty, directed byCameron Crowe, the band presented itsfans with an online scavenger hunt, thepurpose of which was to reveal thetracks for the accompanying soundtrackone by one. All in all, 29 tracks wereannounced, all rare recordings spanningevery era of their career. Many of thesongs are live versions of material fromtheir blockbuster debut album Ten,which, not coincidentally, will turn 20years old next Saturday.
Originally slated to drop Sept. 27, much-hyped Alabama-native rapper Yelawolfhas pushed back the release of his sec-ond major-label album, Radioactive.According to Hip-Hop DX, the officialrelease date is now Oct. 25.The new datemeans the release of Radioactive willcoincide with those of some industryheavyweights, notably Drake, Coldplay.
It may sound surprising that wacky bassvirtuoso Les Claypool’s flagship funk-metal trio Primus hasn’t come out withanything new in over 10 years—but that’sbecause in the meantime Claypool has-n’t exactly strayed from the public eye.Since Primus went on hiatus in 2000,
he’s immersed himself in touring with hisown Flying Frog Brigade, starred in amultitude of supergroups (most notablyOysterhead and Colonel Claypool’sBucket of Bernie Brains). This week,however, Spin announced that Claypooland company had finally broken thedecade-plus silence and dropped a newsingle as a prelude to their forthcomingalbum Green Naugahyde. The song,“Tragedy’s A-Comin’,” is a lyrically apoc-alyptic funk-metal workout that’s verymuch in step with their heavy, dissonantstyle of the ’90s and proves that Primusstill “sucks.”
After much speculation, according toDeadline, Ridley Scott will be returning toan update of the 1982 cult classic asboth director and producer. Although itdid not originally fare well at the boxoffice or the award ceremonies, BladeRunner is now considered to be ground-breaking science fiction film that went toinspire an entire sub-genres includingcyberpunk and future-noir.
