Veteran actor Antonio Banderas takls to us about his role in The Expendables 3, working with Robert Rodriguez on Desperado, and more...
One of the greatest strengths that Antonio Banderas possesses as an actor is his ability to be beloved by audiences for entirely different reasons.
For many, especially children, he's the perfectly (I avoided a cat pun there) charming voice of Puss in Boots in all the DreamWorks incarnations, as well as the father of some uniquely problematic youngsters in the Spy Kids franchise. He's also developed a rather substantial following of older viewers who appreciate his more romantic and smouldering side in the likes of Evita, Original Sin and Interview With The Vampire, as well as his earlier and racier work with Pedro Almodóvar.
However to me, as well as many of our readers I suspect, Banderas has made a great action hero over the years. »

The DC movie universe should already be three years old. We all thought, Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy aside, that Martin Campbell's Green Lantern was going to kick things off. It was a no-brainer. Much like Iron Man before him, Green Lantern was a very successful and popular comic character who was fairly well-known to the general […]

Remember when it was announced Warner Bros. was already working on a Green Lantern sequel before the first film even hit theatersc Then remember how it had an end credit sequence that made no logical sense based on the narrative of the film itselfc Well, if you forgot about what a mess the film was the boys at Screen Junkies have a new honest trailer, this time taking a look at Martin Campbell's mess of a film just as DC and Warner Bros. are working on kicking off a whole new Justice League franchise beginning with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. Green Lantern starred Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins, Mark Strong and the voices of Geoffrey Rush and Michael Clarke Duncan. The film was reportedly budgeted at $200 million and only pulled in $219.8 million worldwide... not a good result. Check out the honest trailer below. »

My hometown Mom-and-Pop video store used to have a magical "freebie" bin. This bin was the resting place for any excess promotional materials the store procured. The freebie bin rarely held any blockbuster movie posters, but it was always stocked with horror titles, and being a diehard horror fan, I outfitted my room with materials I collected from the freebie bin. (Plus, I once found a Ghost Dad shirt lurking in the bottom!) One of my favorite finds was a giant poster from Cast a Deadly Spell. This means that while many girls my age had New Kids on the Block or a fresh from T2 Edward Furlong pasted on their walls, my room was adorned with a scruffy Fred Ward. And thus, I was set on the horror path I am still ambling down today.

Every once in a while, a television drama comes along that perfectly encapsulates the mood of the time in which it was made. In the 1980s - a decade best remembered in the United Kingdom for Thatcherism and the omnipresent threat of nuclear war - that drama was Edge of Darkness.
With its 30th anniversary fast approaching, Troy Kennedy Martin's eco-thriller is being afforded a welcome repeat showing on BBC Four - starting tonight (June 30) at 10pm.
Edge of Darkness - a six-part serial - is the story of Ronnie Craven, a Yorkshire police detective who initiates an off-the-books enquiry into his daughter's murder, only to discover that her death has broader political implications.
Soon, Craven is drawn into a world of corrupt politics and eco-terrorism, culminating in an ill-fated excursion into a radioactive waste facility known as 'Northmoor' - the hub of a power-hungry plot by malevolent forces. »

Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class's Matthew Vaughn has revealed that he was asked to direct the James Bond film Casino Royale.
Vaughn recently disclosed that he had talks with MGM about reuniting with his Layer Cake star Daniel Craig for the re-launch of the Bond franchise.
"I had a lot of meetings on Casino Royale," he told Empire.
The filmmaker added: "So much so that the head of MGM offered me it. I had a 24-hour period where I thought I was directing Casino Royale."
Vaughn added that it was "a bit of a downer" that the deal was never finalised, with Casino Royale's directing duties instead going to Martin Campbell.
The director is now tackling the spy genre with Kingsman: The Secret Service, starring Colin Firth as a veteran secret agent introducing a young counterpart to the world of espionage.

Loosely adapted from Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' espionage comic-book, Kingsman: The Secret Service sees Matthew Vaughn finally doing what he so nearly did back in the mid-noughties and making a spy flick. "I had a lot of meetings on Casino Royale," he reveals of the Bond that got away, exclusively in the new issue of Empire (out Thursday, June 25). "So much so that the head of MGM offered me it. I had a 24-hour period where I thought I was directing Casino Royale." The whole experience was, he understates, "a bit of a downer".Any lingering disappointment at being 00-sixed – it was Martin Campbell, of course, who ultimately landed the gig – has been more than salved by an action-thriller that teams up Colin Firth and newcomer Taron Egerton as a kind of Professor Higgins and Eliza Doolittle of fighting, shooting and wearing very smart suits.

Warner Bros
With Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice on the horizon, all eyes are on the future of the DC Cinematic Universe, set up by Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel last year.
Snyder and co. promise to introduce a whole new roster of heroes, many never before seen on the big screen, and the prospect is undeniably an exciting one. A new take on Batman to look forward to from Ben Affleck, to say nothing of the first real Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and plenty more where they came from.
If Dawn of Justice does well in May 2016, there's no telling what could come next. Justice League, for sure, and then stand-alone franchises for the above characters and more.
Martin Campbell's Green Lantern notoriously ruined the chance of giving the franchise to Ryan Reynolds, one of the few redeeming features saving that film from total abomination. »

Since being introduced back in 1997, Parkour has become a key part of many fast-paced action sequences. With the aim being to get from A to B as quickly as possible, it's easy to see why our protagonists would favour this mode of 'transport'. With the upcoming release of Brick Mansions on May 2nd, starring Paul Walker and Parkour founder, David Belle (pictured below), we've taken a look at some of the best Parkour and free-running scenes, as well as a few that we enjoyed for other reasons.
District B13 (2004) dir. Pierre Morel
David Belle, widely regarded as a founder of the modern parkour movement, eludes a gun-toting gang in a gut-wrenching chase through a French estate block. Impossible precision and stomach-churning drops are the order of the day although we're unconvinced that the bit with the ladder is allowed in Parkour rules. Casino Royale (2006) dir.

Despite the fact that the last time Warner Bros. and DC Comics tried to put Green Lantern on the big screen it ended in disaster, writer David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy) still wants to give the character the feature-film that he deserves. While speaking to Collider, he said that he would love to reboot the property at some point:
"I would love to do 'Green Lantern,'" Goyer said when he was asked about the way the alien world was depicted in Man of Steel versus how it was shown in Green Lantern. "I really wanted to showcase Krypton as a truly alien world. That was one of the things I wanted to do from the beginning when I got involved in the project. At his heart, Superman's always been a science fiction story. I wanted to lean into that, and so did Chris, and so did Zack, »

The X-Men cinematic universe is about to explode. Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past, the mega-budgeted, hugely ambitious, and biggest entry in Fox's 14 year old series will be arriving in theaters later this year. It will then lead to another massive X-Men event film, X-Men: Apocalypse. Along the way, several plotlines are going to be remixed, rebooted, and retconned- thanks to the time travel elements of DoFP. Singer is going to get the chance right a few of the wrongs that occurred in the X-universe after he left it (I'm looking at you, X-Men: The Last Stand), and reposition certain characters. But where does this leave Logan, aka Wolverine?

The horror returns as Transformers director revealed as man behind new take on Hitchcock's 1963 frightener, with Naomi Watts set to take Tippi Hedren role
• More on Michael Bay
Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds told the story of a rustic seaside town that finds itself menaced by hellish flocks of seagulls and crows. Now the 1963 classic looks set to suffer its own form of molestation courtesy of a Hollywood remake by Transformers director Michael Bay.
Loosely adapted from a 1952 short story by Daphne du Maurier, The Birds cast Tippi Hedren in the role of Melanie Daniels, a San Francisco socialite who comes horribly unstuck on a visit to northern California. Reports suggest that Bay's version will return to tale to its original English setting, while Naomi Watts is rumoured to be considering the Hedren role.
Variety reports that the film will be directed by the Dutch film-maker Diederik Van Rooijen, »

It's been so long since we'd heard anything concrete about Platinum Dunes' plans to remake Alfred Hitchcock's classic beaky chiller The Birds that we started to wonder whether it had contracted Avian Flu, kicked the development bucket, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. But it would appear that re-imagined parrot is alive and squawking, as Variety reports that Dutch director Diederik Van Rooijen will handle the megaphone.Well, we say, "will". We've been here before on the Birds front, with Martin Campbell previously attached to call the shots and Naomi Watts linked with the lead role in the past. Neither is still involved.Universal and the Platinum Dunes team are, somewhat sensibly, making it clear that this redo will owe more to Daphne du Maurier's short story than Hitchcock's film, though the plot is still largely a secret, with Jonathan Herman »

It's been a long time since we've heard anything about Universal Pictures, Mandalay Pictures and Platinum Dunes' remake of the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds, but if you were hoping that Michael Bay's production company had forgotten about its plans, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.
Variety is reporting that Dutch filmmaker Diederik Van Rooijen (Taped, Daylight) has signed on to direct the film, which Bay is producing alongside Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Peter Guber and David Zelon. The project has previously passed through the hands of Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Green Lantern) and Dennis Iliadis (Hardcore, The Last House on the Left), while Naomi Watts was attached to the Tippi Hedren role back when it was first announced in 2007.

Thanks to an ongoing trend of people watching Alfred Hitchock movies and deciding that they could probably do a much better job, there are numerous existing remakes of Hitchcock films and usually at least one or two more in development at any one time.
One planned remake that has been languishing in development hell for years is Universal's re-imagining of The Birds. Originally set to star Naomi Watts with Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) directing, producer Brad Fuller later admitted that the film was not at the top of the priorities list for studio Platinum Dunes.
That was several years ago, however, and apparently Platinum Dunes isn't ready to give up just yet. THR reports ...

A remake of Alfred Hitchcock's tale of avian terror has been rumored and talked about since way back in 2007, but it's been quite some time since we've heard anything about it. Now it looks like The Birds reboot is back on track. Read on for details!
Variety reports that Platinum Dunes and Mandalay Pictures have tapped Dutch filmmaker Diederik Van Rooijen (Taped) to direct a modern day version of The Birds, replacing previously attached directors Martin Campbell and Dennis Iliadis.
The original plotline followed a San Francisco socialite who moves to a small northern California town that is suddenly under attack from various types of birds. Plot details for the remake are unknown at this time.
Michael Bay will produce along with his Platinum Dunes producing partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller with Peter Guber and David Zelon also producing through Mandalay Pictures.

As NBA insiders go, few are as well-versed in the league's goings-on at every level from the top down than David Falk, hero to bald men nationwide and an agent in the league for more than 35 years. At his agency's height in the mid-'90s, he was representing Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, and Dikembe Mutombo, among many others. So suffice it to say that if he's got an opinion on the business side of the NBA, you should be paying very close attention.
(Why yes, he IS selling a book right now! What about the alarmist statements gave that away, aside from EVERYTHING?)
What Falk does have to say is not very good. At all. According to the NEW YORK TIMES, there's a storm brewing when the collective bargaining agreement expires in 2011: the players already don't like the deal, and the owners are going to want to trim way back as their franchises hemorrage money. The result: EXTREME
"I think it's going to be very, very extreme," Falk said, "because I think that the times are extreme."
How extreme? Falk said he believed Stern, the commissioner, would push for a hard salary cap, shorter contracts, a higher age limit on incoming players, elimination of the midlevel cap exception and an overall reduction in the players' percentage of revenue. And, Falk said, Stern will probably get what he wants.
This is bad, bad, bad news; when the owners collectively decide that it's no longer worth their time and effort to field basketball teams, then the bubble has not just popped, it has burst into flames and incinerated everything on it, including the players, fans, and cheerleaders (oh god, not the cheerleaders).
Falk's advice to the players is to capitulate to just about all of the owners' demands; they hold all the leverage at this point, since it's questionable whether it's in their best interests at all to maintain franchises in the NBA as they're currently structured. While it sucks for the players to see their salary structures, for the most part, slashed and burned, it's a necessary correction after years and years of inflated contracts for middling veterans (Wally Szczerbiak, we are staring directly at you on this one).
This sort of impasse hurts fans the worst. Most of us just want to sit in a gym and watch these guys play some ball instead of reading about fights over money. It took
steroids a magical home run chase by two steroided gallant batsmen on steroids to bring baseball back after years of bitter avoidance from fans after a strike that ended one season. If the NBA shuts down for much longer than that, there may not be a saleable product when they get back on the hardwood. And that would be a more devastating catastrophe for American sports than any economic downturn could ever create.

Samaras has discussed personal terms with West Bromwich Albion about a potential move to the West Midlands, according to the Birmingham Mail.
Samaras' contract at Celtic expired in the summer and the forward would prefer to stay in the UK. He can play as a winger or a target man and would add another option for the Baggies going forward. Malaga have also spoken to Samaras and it's a straight choice between the two clubs.

Former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have teamed up for a new leadership initiative.
Imagine a French fry with no salt. It might not be too far out of the realm of possibility. Pressure from the Food and Drug Administration to reduce sodium in restaurants and food manufacturing could make our favorite salty foods a little bland. The FDA plans to issue voluntary guidelines asking the food industry to make their products less salty in an effort to make the nation healthier.
Right next to the lovely centerpiece on almost every restaurant table, you'll find a salt shaker. At Café Bohjana Java, in Tyler, that's one of the only places you'll find salt.
"I do soup every day, I do quiche, I don't even put it in the quiche," said Chef Carrie Taft-Couture, the owner.
Instead, Taft-Couture uses herbs from the restaurant's garden. But, can you really have one of Tyler's best burgers without loads of salt?
"There's ways to bring out flavors in food without using a lot of salt," said Becky Kalmowitz, owner of Skyline Café.
She said even the juicy burgers at the restaurant are heavily seasoned with herbs and less salt.
"And I think it's a good thing, I think we should get back to our roots, you know, salt hasn't always been around and we did just fine without it," said Danielle Townsend, a nutritionist with Trinity Mother Frances.
She explained the recommended daily dose is just one teaspoon of salt and most Americans get more than that. Excess can cause strokes, heart disease, and high blood pressure - all things the FDA is hoping to cut on.
"With foods, a lot of the ingredients that you're putting into your recipe that you're adding already have some kind of salt in it, so, the trick is to not add salt while you're cooking," Townsend said.
Turns out, many restaurants already work around salt, but concern grows about the hand on our shakers.
"We're supposed to be the land of the free, we should be able to make our own choices and, yes, make recommendations, but to change and make everybody eat a certain amount of this or a certain amount of that it seems a little crazy to me," Kalmowitz said.
With a small sprinkle of herbs and less salt, the FDA is hoping for big changes. There is no word on when exactly the guidelines will be issued. The food industry has made reductions before, but has been preparing for government action since a 2010 report indicated companies had not made enough progress on sodium reduction.

el sombrero out geary [San Francisco]
- r
- rich Apr 29, 2003 10:23 PM
there used to be a terrific mexican joint out geary in the sunset, called el sombrero. they made their own tortillas and handmade their margaritas starting with fresh squeezed lime juice. but their real specialty was a green sauce over cheese enchiladas that was better than i've ever had, anywhere. i started eating at el sombrero back in the 70's and no matter where i traveled, i always tried to find a sauce that came close to being as good as theirs---but to no avail. my question---does anybody know where these guys may have opened another place? they closed because of losing their lease---it wasn't due to poor business---that place was always packed. if anybody remembers el sombrero and where the owners may have gone, i'd really enjoy hearing about it. rich
re: squid-kun
Is this the place that used to be where Aziza is now (and Soka before that)? They didn't lose their lease -- they own the building. They're retired.
re: Zach Georgopoulos
That's the one: 5800 Geary at 22nd Ave. What Bill Bernal told Herb Caen in July 1993, the month before it shut down, was that he was closing because "I've lost money for the last two years."
His dad, Billy Bernal, had opened the place in 1947. That's a good long run.
re: Zach Georgopoulos
I sure miss El Sombrero. It was my favorite Mexican joint, and I loved the Alhambra-inspired decor. I hope Aziza is showing respect and practicality and using all those arches, tiles, and wrought iron.
re: Sharuf
They're using quite a bit of it, but I think a lot was probably gutted by the previous tenant.
re: Zach Georgopoulos
is it possible to get their recipe for their outstanding chile rellino?
Luz Garcia didn't open another restaurant. They simply closed. If I am not wrong, Zocca went in then closed several years later.
You might want to try Tia Margherita just about across the street. I know they were related at one point. It's real Tex Mex (as was El Sombrero)..but without the tortilla makers in the corner. Otherwise you will find a number of pretty good Mexican holes in the wall on Mission
Man, I loved that place. My favorite restaurant of all time. The sauces, the home-made tortillas being made as you watched, the best tamales on the planet, chile con carne to die for. Every birthday, every special occasion, whenever we were asked where we wanted to go, my sister, mother and I would always choose E.S. I grew up with that place, and really miss it.
At one time they had opened a second location in the Cannery in S.F., but I believe it closed before the original did. It lacked the authentic decor, and the food was just a notch below the Geary kitchen.
I do remember the owner griping about how much money he was losing before it closed. I don't understand it, 'cause it seemed to be busy most of the time. If he had taken a vote among his customers, I'll bet most of us would have gladly paid 50% more to keep them open. I've never encountered another restaurant anywhere that comes close to those unique recipes and sauces.
I wonder what happened to the chefs? If anyone knows, please post. (Maybe they took some of those recipes with them?)
the el sombrero on geary then the cannery was so awesome I agree...I live in mexico and cannot find that food here in cancun yet....the owner had me paint an oil painting for her to match the decor in her house and she lived in the cliff house area. She was beautifu, with blond hair and a large tree inside her house ..I never will forget her she inspires me in my cooking and art to this day.....they had the most beautiful girls with low white blouses off their shoulders and long colorful skirts as servers...the line went around the block to get in ...
Man oh man, that damn Bill who owned El Sombrero! Closes the best mex restaurant IN THE WORLD, in 1993. .....And NOTHING now for 20 years....Rumors of money losses in Vegas. They had the greatest food, red sauce, green sauce...chips, enchiladas....marinated carrots & onions! It was our favorite restaurant for 50 years for my whole family! They could have doubled their prices, and we ALL would have been happy to pay! Their Cannery unit was great too, just a tad below the Geary St kitchen. Dear God, Please let those owners, waitresses like Mariaelena, recipes, RE-OPEN SOMEWHERE!!!
re: Mexfoodlover
I so agree all I do is talk about that restaurant in
San francisco..I painted a painting for the lady owner and she was wonderful..She lived in an area of Cliff house with a tall tree in her house..wonderful memories of her food...large plates of delicious enchiladas beans rice and a show of beautiful costumed girls serving with women making fresh tortillas..lines for hours in front always...
re: sofia333
Hi Sofia! Thanks for this nice message! Do you know, or are you in touch with, the El Somb cooks? Waitresses like Maria Elena? Recipes? I am not living in SF area anymore, and not in the restaurant business, but boy, if I knew that you, or someone, had those amazing sauce and nachos and marinated vegetables recipes, which Bill Bernal always guarded so closely, I certainly WOULD, yes, want to do anything and everything I could to help "El Sombrero" re-open! Do you know/are you in touch with Bernal/his family/the former cooks?
re: Mexfoodlover
yes I had the recipes for some of the sauces and foods...my dad also knew the owners....I am in cancun now...Where are you living now...
My father started taking me to El Sombrero in the early 60's. I have never found anything even close. When I moved to Colorado, he used to send me three dozen of their tortillas to keep in the freezer because there was nothing else like them. My favorite was the fried tacos with the awesome sauce and thin slices of radishes-they also used parmesan cheese on their entrees. I would give a lot to have the recipe for their sauces! The last time I tried to go there, they had just closed-we missed them by days. I loved the lady in the corner hand making tortillas and I loved their waitress outfits-so colorful. Great memories. If anyone gets hold of any of the recipes I sure hope you will post a few here! Thanks to all for sharing the memories!
re: aprilrosa
Hi I am in cancun and ived in san fran for the years el sombrero was open..we ate there my dad knew the owner and she cooked in her private residence where I visited and got some recipes...nothing is like it here in cancun so if we have interested persons willing to open a restaurant let me know..we can test the many different sauces i have recipes for from her...
re: sofia333
I wad just talking with a neighbor who bet me I couldn't find the recipe for the tostada sauce. Do you have it???? That would be amazing.

52 Dragons: 34 - NutmegFresh fish! Fresh fish! Nutmeg clutched her bag tightly as she roamed through the market. The small brown dragon was amazed at all the different foods you could buy in the city. But the one ingredient she needed she did not see. There would be no baby griffin burgers for her tonight.
52 Dragons: 33 - NewspaperThe red eyed beast under the city was really Newspaper, a curious sewer dragon. He would watch and wonder about the lives of the people who walked by up above. The day he tried to meet the people, they all screamed and ran away and poor Newspaper slumped back into his sewer.
52 Dragons: 32 - ThalwegIt was hard work being a river dragon. Thalweg was in charge of making sure the water kept flowing, dealing with the fishes complaints, and that beavers got building permits for their dams. Hed had enough. It was time for a vacation. So on his door Thalweg hung a sign: Gone Fishing.
52 Dragons: 31 - WrightAll the other dragons laughed at Wright and his flying machine. Dragons werent meant to fly in machines, they had wings. It would never work, they told Wright, but he ignored them. The day for takeoff came, and all the dragons were amazed when Wrights machine flew. When it crashed, they laughed.
52 Dragons: 30 - DoorknobDoorknob was your typical fire breathing green dragon living in a cave with his horde. He had kidnapped a princess in hopes of eating the knights that came to save her, but when none came to the rescue, Doorknob consulted the bear. Said the bear, Thats not a princess, thats a horse.
52 Dragons: 29 - PineconePinecone was often told he looked more like a flying squirrel then any dragon. With his small size he certainly didnt look intimidating, but when Pinecone leaped down onto you from above, teeth bared for the kill, everyone found him scary. Except Bigfoot, he just wondered why a squirrel was attacking him.
52 Dragons: 28 - RexIt was discovered on a paleontological dig and named Rex. Radioisotope dating revealed it to be older then previously uncovered dragon fossils. Rex was declared the oldest dragon and put on display. But Rex wasnt a fossil, he was an old hibernating bone dragon, much to the museum curators surprise and demise.
52 Dragons: 27 - ThunderThunder lived in the clouds, dark gray rain clouds that were the same color as himself. He didnt have wings, Thunder wasnt a flying dragon, he danced. With the rain and wind as his stormy music, Thunder would sometimes dance for hours. His steps, leaps and tail thumps shaking the world below.
God's UmbrellaGods Umbrella
Peter Shiel, a twenty-three year old currently out of work sales clerk, stared up at the sky wondering if there was any all-powerful being in control of everything. If there was, he figured it hated him. In the last week his dad had died, his girlfriend dumped him, he lost his job, and his dog ran away. On top of that hed caught a cold and now couldnt even wonder at the existence of god without sniffling every two seconds.
Life was crap, and Peter was sitting in the middle of a field five miles from anywhere of significance pondering why God hated him so much. He had gone for a walk, his haze of despair sending him far from known territories so that when he finally realized where he was he didnt know where he was, just where hed come from. He didnt mind being lost, he wasnt really. He knew town was behind him and their was nothing more then empty fields before him.&

Coping With Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis pilaris rubra faceii are tiny patches of rough skin appearing on the face, especially the cheeks.

Hank Penny was a Western Swing musician from the late 1930s to the 1970s with an affinity for jazz (and comedy). He employed jazz-oriented sidemen like Jimmy Wyble, Benny Garcia, and Noel Boggs, as well as Merle Travis. He even recorded "Hillbilly Be-Bop" for King Records in 1949. In 1950, he wrote a hit "BloodShot Eyes," which became a souped-up jump blues hit for Wynonie Harris a year later. He had a long stretch in Las Vegas and worked for a while at a Wichita radio station.
Let's start with the Penny original.
And, here is Harris.
Both Penny and Harris were largely performing on the West Coast at the time, but they recorded for Cincinnati-based King Records, which specialized in "hillbilly" and "race" records and encouraged the sharing of songs between the two sides of the label.
There is a chapter on Penny in Rich Kienzle's 2003 book "Southwest Shuffle: Pioneers of Honky-Tonk, Western Swing and Country Jazz."
And, this fascinating article "Hank Penny's Cowboy Swing" by Burgin Matthews and "Forgotten Artists: Hank Penny" by Paul W. Dennis are also recommended.
There are a number of CDs of Penny's career which would be worth checking out.

Gary Burton with Jerry Hahn (bootleg audio)
As promised in a recent post of a video of the Gary Burton Quartet with Larry Coryell, here is nice authorized audio bootleg of the Gary Burton Quartet with Jerry Hahn on guitar in Hamburg 1968. Steve Swallow is on bass and
Roy Haynes and drums. It was recorded at the "Funkhaus Hamburg" in Hamburg (Germany)
on November 8, 1968. (See the set list at the end of this post.)
After Larry Coryell left the Burton Quartet, he tried to form a group with pianist Chick Corea, but the chemistry wasn't quite right. He then heard Hahn who was based in San Francisco on the radio.
Hahn played on three albums with Burton:
- Country Roads & Other Places (RCA, 1969)
- Throb (Atlantic, 1969)
- Good Vibes (Atlantic, 1969)
Jerry Hahn grew up in Nebraska, attended Wichita State University, and moved to San Francisco in 1962 where he played and recorded with John Handy from 1964 to 1966. After leaving Burton, Hahn formed the jazz-rock fusion group Jerry Hahn Brotherhood which featured keyboardist and vocalist Mike Finnegan.
Hahn has a website and there is a nice 2008 interview online which covers much of his career.
Here is the set list (clicking the time will take you to approximately the beginning of each tune on YouTube.)
1 Falling Grace (Swallow) (00:00)
2 General Mojo's Well-Laid Plan (Swallow) (3:45)
3 Green Mountains (Swallow) (8:26)
4 Walter L. (Burton) (11:29)
5 Sweet Rain (Gibbs) (15:44)
6 Singing Song (Burton) (18:53)
7 Good Citizen Swallow (Burton) (21:36)

Country Club 51 Tommy Duncan after Bob Wills
Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes informatively about Tommy Duncan on allmusic.com.
As the lead singer for the classic lineup of Bob Wills' Texas Playboys, Tommy Duncan was the definitive Western swing vocalist. Crossing the smooth croon of Bing Crosby with the twang of Jimmie Rodgers and the bluesy inclinations of Emmett Miller, Duncan had a warm, distinctive, and welcoming voice that helped the Playboys cross over to a wider audience. Not only was he a wonderful, trendsetting vocalist, Duncan also wrote many of the Texas Playboys' biggest hits, including "Time Changes Everything," "Stay a Little Longer," "Take Me Back to Tulsa," "New Spanish Two Step," and "Bubbles in My Beer."'Duncan split from Wills, or more accurately, was fired in 1948. "Gambling Polka Dot Blues" was his one big hit on his own. In the 1960s, Wills and Duncan reunited for a while and Duncan then continued an independent career.

From my archives: The New Cuba reviewed (1976)
Following up on my recent post of Theodore Draper's analysis of the broken, original promises of Fidel Castro,
I thought it would be interesting to share a book review I wrote in 1976 of a book edited by Ronald Radosh that evidenced the disillusionment of some important New Leftists with Castro's Cuba. (I don't think the title was mine.)
Radosh has, of course, moved to the political right, but this collection was an important intellectual contribution at the time and, I think, the points I make in the review are still valid, albeit some aspects are historically limited. In retrospect, I think I should have discussed some of the other contributors so I have included the Kirkus Review at the bottom.
I've added a few links and notes which weren't in the original.
The New Cuba is out-of-print, but it should be available in college libraries and from used-book dealers.
New America
October 1976
Yet another Communist paradise has disillusioned its erstwhile Western enthusiasts. Cuba, once the ideal to the New Left in America, Europe, and Latin America that the Soviet Union was to an earlier generation, has been criticized as a degenerating or flawed revolutionary state by such radical intellectuals as Rene Dumont, K.S. Karol, and David Caute.* The most recent echo of this disillusionment is a collection of essays edited by American New Left historian Ronald Radosh, The New Cuba: Paradoxes and Potentials.
Compared to the writings of Herbert Matthews, Frank Mankiewicz, and Senator George McGovern, The New Cuba is an expose. Matthews, for instance, criticizes the critics of the arrest and political confession of the Cuban poet Herbert[o] Padilla and denies that torture has ever been authorized in Cuba. Mankiewicz and his associate Kirby Jones conclude that "if one compares Cuba's lack of political freedom and social mobility to any other Latin American country, then to all but a handful of landed aristocrats it must seem a very desirable place indeed." George Me Govern has described Cuba as a nation "whose policies sometimes irritate us."
If Radosh and his colleagues are more critical than Matthews, Mankiewicz, and McGovern it is because they expected Cuba to create a "new man" and a "new society," not simply an egalitarian authoritarianism. Radosh, in particular, is critical of the failure of Castro to develop a socialist democracy, cultural and political repression in Cuba, and the price that Cuba has paid for the receipt of Soviet aid.
Although Radosh's analysis develops little new ground, his recapitulation of the work of Karol and Dumont may give wider circulation to their incisive views. Karol, in his important study Guerillas in Power, penetrated to the heart of the Cuban revolution when he accused the revolutionary elite, including the supposedly heterodox Che Guevera, of importing two myths from the Soviet Union: that the workers had no interest other "than the acceleration of production in accordance with the overall economic plan," and that the revolutionary leaders "know best how to interpret the thoughts and needs of the working class." Against the utopianism of the New Left, Dumont argued that the policy of moral incentives followed in the early years of the Cuban revolution! inevitably meant the militarization of work. After the failure of the ten-million ton sugar harvest in 1970, moral incentives have been replaced by material incentives. However, as Radosh points out, Dumont's expectation that the introduction of material incentives and market relations would mean a corollary, if 'partial, political liberalization has proved erroneous. Instead, the Cuban economy has been Sovietized.
Yet for all its comparative honesty, 'The New Cuba is ultimately disappointing. It provides no real insights into the potential development of Cuba. Rather than examining the contradictions in Cuba, we are presented with paradoxes. Both in his essays in this collection and in a recent review in Dissent# Radosh retains an optimistic outlook for the possibility of a more independent and democratic socialism in Cuba that finds little support in his analysis of Cuban society. Radosh even suggested in Dissent that the normalization of relations with the United States is the one factor that might lead away from the Stalinization of Cuba. However, in The New Cuba Radosh observed that rather than lead to political liberalization, detente with the United States might well result in increased ideological conformity.
Radosh and his associates have rejected the notion that to criticize the Cuban revolution is to serve the cause of reaction. But their opinions are biased and, ultimately, less than convincing, because they continue to see themselves as friends of the Cuban revolution and to define the present system as socialist. So while Radosh is willing to criticize Cuba's "socialism" as flawed, he refuses to describe it as a totalitarian state.
The limited, and therefore apologetic, nature of Radosh's criticism is reflected in his criticism of political and cultural repression in Cuba. He condemns the imprisonment of Herbert Padilla and the suppression of the last quasi-independent journal in Cuba, but neglects to mention that there are 80,000 political prisoners in Cuba, held in barbarous conditions. Castro himself has admitted to holding 20,000 political prisoners and details about conditions in the Cuban prison camps are readily available in the reports of the Inter American Commission on Human Rights. In its Fifth Report on the Status Human Rights in Cuba, the Commission reported that in the last five years violations of human rights" are far from decreasing, and arbitrary and excessively strict procedures continue, particularly in the treatment of political prisoners, with complete disregard for "the dignity of human beings."
Shocking Allegations
The allegations which have been filed against Cuba are among the most shocking instances of torture ever recorded. Yet by refusing to respond to the allegations as required by the regulations of the Organization of American States, Cuba has not only confirmed the accuracy of the charges, but has demonstrated its total disrespect for human rights. A chain of prison and labor camps crosses Cuba, and one camp, in Havana province, holds a capacity of 20,000. One camp for women originally named "America Libre" is now called "Nuevo Arnanecer" (New Dawn). Reading Radosh one would never know that this is part of the "new Cuba."
Nor do Radosh and the other critical sympathizers take a hard enough look at Cuba's economic and social performance outside the prisons. The Castro government's own statistics, for instance, show infant mortality increasing through the 1960s. Average per capita consumption of rice in 1968 was half the level of 1956. By the late 1960s the Cuban economy was faltering and political discontent was growing. The Cuban economy is relatively healthy today, but that is because of increased, Soviet aid and booming world sugar prices, which are higher, relative to their 1968 level, than petroleum prices.
In return for stepped-up economic aid, Castro was forced to grant the Soviets more direct influence in Cuban affairs. The Soviet Union has insisted on the "institutionalization of the revolution" to protect its economic, political, and ideological investment in Cuba. The first Congress of the Cuban Communist Party, held in December 1975, was symptomatic of the process of strengthening government and politics along Soviet lines and the widespread adoption of Soviet- style administrative and economic practices. Fidel's charismatic, personalist rule was limited by a party program that stressed the "leading role of the PCC."
Another stage in the Sovietization of Cuba was the adoption of Cuba's first "socialist" constitution in February 1976. The constitution accords the PCC the status of "the leading force of the society and state" and bears a remarkable resemblance to the 1936 Soviet constitution.
The new "Organs of People Power" are an attempt to provide evidence of popular support . that is both more. stable and controllable than Castro's charisma. Matthews and Mankiewicz point to the experimental elections held in Mantanzas Province in 1974, soon to be duplicated throughout the island, as proof that the institutionalization of the revolution is leading to new forms of mass democracy, Although there were contested elections, the Commission to regulate the elections is headed by the veteran pro-Moscow Communist Blas Roca. The Castro regime and its Soviet masters have no intention of licensing the development of an opposition. The "new Cuba" resembles nothing so much as the old Soviet Union. When apologetic criticisms of the Castro regime are replaced by genuine solidarity with Cuban democrats, there may at last be a hope for a new Cuba.

K.S. Karol, Guerillas in Power
David Caute, Cuba, Yes?
Both Dumont's Cuba, Is it Socialist? and Karol's book were listed among the Castro's five least favorite books by Atlantic magazine in 2005. Both remain essential works to understand Cuba.
# Ronald Radosh "On the Cuban Revolution" (Review of Social Security in Latin America: Pressure Groups, Stratification and Inequality, by Carmelo Mesa-Lago, and Revolution in Cuba, by Herbert L. Matthews)Dissent, pp. 309-314 June 1976]
For comparison, here is the Kirkus Review
Eight essays by leftish Cuba-watchers, assembled by a history professor at Queensborough Community College, a libertarian anarchist and author of Prophets on the Right (p. 61). Radosh seems to be saying that Cuba has succumbed to Leninist authoritarianism but pop music is still played, so hope persists. Among the critics are Martin Duberman, identified by Radosh as a "homosexual author," who believes that Cuba has failed "in the area of psychosexual transformation." Rene Dumont, who was kicked out of his agricultural advisory post by the Cubans under suspicion of CIA activity, joins K. S. Karol, Jean-Paul Sartre, writer Jose Yglesias, and French economist Charles Bettelheim in attacking Castro as dictatorial. Latin American specialist James Petras and former National Security Advisor Maurice Halperin also fault Cuba for declining to decentralize and for jailing the poet Padilla in 1971. Radosh adds an indictment of Raul Castro for his attacks on "U.S. youth culture" and his demand for "ideological purity." The book does not aim at analysis of Cuban economic development or, except for the aspersions against Castro's ties to the USSR, place Cuba's development in the context of international politics. The book is far from a shrill blast--Frances FitzGerald, for example, presents an on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand judgment. But it will provide low-keyed reinforcement of the suspicions of academics regarding "collectivism" and "centralization."

Castro's Promises Betrayed: Theodore Draper's Classic Analysis
[Leo] Huberman and [Paul] Sweezy have written: "Fidel had made his promises and was determined to carry them out, faithfully and to the letter." But neither they, nor [C. Wright] Mills, nor [John-Paul] Sartre ever says what these promises were. The oversight has been a necessary part of the mythology.#
I have made a brief inventory of the promises, political and economic, made by Castro from his "History Will Absolve Me" speech (at his Moncada trial in 1953) to the end of 1958.*
These promises so soon became embarrassing that some of his literary champions began to rewrite history (after less than two years!) by avoiding all mention of them. **
Castro's 1953 speech predicted that the first revolutionary law would be restoration of the 1940 Constitution and made an allusion to a "government of popular election."
In an article in Coronet magazine of February, 1958, Castro wrote of fighting for a "genuine representative government," "truly honest" general elections within twelve months, "full and untrammelled" freedom of public information and all communication media, and reestablishment of all personal and political rights set forth in the 1940 Constitution. The greatest irony is that he defended himself against the accusation "of plotting to replace military dictatorship with revolutionary dictatorship."
In his answers to his first biographer, Jules Dubois, in May, 1958, Castro pledged "full enforcement" of the 1940 Constitution and "a provisional government of entirely civilian character that will return the country to normality and hold general elections within a period of no more than one year." In the unity manifesto of July, 1958, Castro agreed "to guide our nation, after the fall of the tyrant, to normality by instituting a brief provisional government that will lead the country to full constitutional and democratic procedures."
In the 1953 speech, Castro supported grants of land to small planters and peasants, with indemnification to the former owners; the rights of workers to share in profits; a greater share of the cane crop to all planters; and confiscation of all illegally obtained property. His land reform advocated maximum holdings for agricultural enterprises and the distribution of remaining land to farming families; it also provided for encouragement of "agricultural cooperatives for the common use of costly equipment, cold storage, and a uniform professional direction in cultivation and breeding." In addition, the speech expressed the intention of nationalizing the electric and telephone companies.
The manifesto of July, 1957, defined the agrarian reform as distribution of barren lands, with prior indemnification, and conversion of sharecroppers and squatters into proprietors of the lands worked on.
The Coronet article favored a land reform to give peasants clear title to the land, with "just compensation of expropriated owners." It declared that Castro had no plans for expropriating or nationalizing foreign invest was based on the principle that those who cultivate the land should own it. This law, signed by Fidel Castro and the then Judge Advocate General, Dr. Humberto Sori Marin, made no mention of cooperatives" or "state farms."
Its entire intent was to implement the hitherto neglected agrarian-reform provison in the Constitution of 1940.*
Such were the promises that Fidel had made. The near unanimity with which Castro's victory was accepted in January,1959, was the result not merely of his heroic struggle and glamorous beard but of the political consensus he appeared to embody. This consensus had resulted from the democratic disappointments in1944-52 and the Batista despotism of 1952-58. There was broad agreement that Cuba could never go back to the corrupt brand of democracy of the past, and the Cuban middle class was ready for deep-going social and political reforms to make impossible another Prio Socarras and another Batista. Castro promised to restore Cuban democracy and make it work, not a "direct" or "people's" democracy but the one associated with the 1940 Constitution, which was so radical that much of it, especially the provision for agrarian reform, was never implemented.
It is, moreover, unthinkable that Castro could have won power if he had given the Cuban people the slightest forewarning of what he has presented them with--a press and all other means of communication wholly government controlled, ridicule of elections, wholesale confiscation and socialization, "cooperatives" that are (as Huberman and Sweezy admitted) virtually "state farms," or a dictatorship of any kind, including that of the proletariat. It was precisely the kind of promises Castro made that enabled him to win the support of the overwhelming majority of the Cuban middle and other classes; a "peasant revolution" would hardly have been expressed in quite the same way.
The least that can be said, therefore, is that Castro promised one kind of revolution and made another. The revolution Castro promised was unquestionably betrayed.
•Its full text, which became extremely rare after Castro took power, may be found in Enrique Gonzalez Pedrero,La Revolucion Cubana (Mexico: Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Politicas y Sociales, 1959), pp. 143-56.
**Castro's pre-1959 promises are dealt with by Huberman and Sweezy in a peculiar way. They cite twelve and a half pages of the 1953 speech but omit the five-point program on which Castro said the revolution was based. This program began: "The first revolutionary law would have restored sovereignty to the people and proclaimed the Constitution of 1940 as the true supreme law of the state, until such time as the people should decide to modify it or to change it." The others provided for grants of land to small planters and peasants, with indemnification to the former owners; the right of workers to share in profits; a greater share of the cane crop to all planters; and confiscation of all illegally obtained property.
Although the speech makes other important points, this is the only itemized program in it, and it is hard to see how its omission can be justified. The unity pact· of July, 1958, is handled in the same way. It contained three points: a common strategy, postwar "normality," and "a minimum governmental program." I have quoted the second point in full in the text. Huberman and Sweezy cite a paragraph in this unity pact that asked the U.S. to cease all military and other types or aid to Batista, but ignore the three-point program, which might have put Castro's promises in a somewhat different light.Mills simply ignores the whole collection of Castro's prepower pledges.

- John-Paul Sartre, Sartre on Cuba
- C. Wright Mills, Listen, Yankee : The revolution in Cuba

Islamic antisemitism "as if it were there from the start"
In a 2009 paper, Cohen made an astute observation. "Christian antisemitism has since become absorbed into the fabric of Islam as if it were there from the start, when it was never there from the start at all."
In a little larger context
The idea that modern Arab antisemitism comes from a medieval, irrational hatred of the Jews, similar to the antisemitism of Christianity, with its medieval origins, cannot be sustained. Understood as a religiously-based complex of irrational, mythical, and stereotypical beliefs about the diabolical, malevolent, and all-powerful Jew, infused in its modern, secular form with racism and belief in a Jewish conspiracy against mankind-- antisemitism is not an indigenous or inherent phenomenon in Islam. It was first encountered by Muslims at the time of the Ottoman expansion into Europe, which resulted in the absorption of large numbers of Greek Orthodox Christians. This Christian antisemitism became more firmly implanted in the Muslim Middle East in the nineteenth century as part of the discourse of nationalism. Seeking greater acceptance in a fledgling pan-Arab nation constituted by a majority of Muslims, Christians in the Arab world, aided, among other things, by European Christian missionaries, began to use western-style antisemitism to focus Arab/Muslim enmity away from themselves and onto a new and, to them, familiar enemy.
This Christian antisemitism has since become absorbed into the fabric of Islam as if it were there from the start, when it was never there from the start at all. The widely read Arabic translations of the late-nineteenth century Russian-Christian forgery, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," seems to many Muslims almost an Islamic text, echoing old themes in the Qur'ān and elsewhere of Jewish treachery toward Muhammad and his biblical prophetic predecessors. The "Protocols" seem all the more credible in the light of the political, economic and military success of Israel. Sadly, the pluralism and largely non-violent attitude towards the Jews that existed in early and classical Islam seems to have lost its public face. Equally sad, age-old Jewish empathy with Islamic society among Jews from Muslim lands, and memory of decent relations with Muslim neighbors in Muslim lands in relatively recent times, have similarly recede,
Personally, I don't find Cohen formulation of a radical distinction between Christian and Islamic antisemitism to be entirely convincing. And, in this passage he paints entirely too benign a picture of the Islamic treatment of Jews. Elsewhere Cohen comments
The interfaith utopia was to a certain extent a myth; it ignored, or left unmentioned, the legal inferiority of the Jews (and all non-Muslim "People of the Book") and periodic outbursts of violence.If antisemitism has been absorbed into Islam "as if it were there from the start," that is an elementary fact of global politics that must be appreciated.

Gary Burton Pioneering Fusion Band in Concert (video)
I recently discovered this outstanding live concert of the Gary Burton Quartet, which can arguably be called the first jazz rock fusion group.
Gary Burton (wikipedia, allmusic.com, website) has had a very long and distinguished career as a vibraphonist and combo leader. Burton innovated the four-mallet style of playing vibes, a revolutionary and now often emulated method of playing.
Burton was also a pioneer of jazz-rock fusion. In 1967, he formed the Gary Burton Quartet with Larry Coryell on guitar, drummer Roy Haynes, and bassist Steve Swallow. (Bob Moses is on drums in the video.) The GBQ got there before Mile Davis, who began to turn electric with Miles in the Sky and Files de Kilamanjaro in 1968 and In a Silent Way in 1969. And, they got there with excellence. Burton was recognized as Downbeat magazine's "Jazzman of the Year" in 1968.
I bought those Davis albums and several of Burton's when they were new and fresh and, you know what, they still hold up.
The Burton Quartet with Coryell recorded these albums
- Duster (RCA, 1967)
- Lofty Fake Anagram (RCA, 1967)
- A Genuine Tong Funeral (RCA, 1968) with Carla Bley
- Gary Burton Quartet in Concert (RCA, 1968)
More on the Burton group with Hahn in the near future.

Baku Tsunoda (28) and Naomichi Tanaka (31) have been working together as the Rainstick Orchestra since 2001. They met when they were both DJing in a club in Tokyo and, as they lived near to each other, they began hanging out and trying to improve their musical skills by working together.
