Obviously, I love a good Western. For the last two years, I’ve dedicated the month of March to the genre. A great Western is transcendent. Even a bad one can be a lot of fun. But there is no getting past the casual racism that is found in a great many Western. This is especially true in Westerns from the 1930s into the 1940s. Hollywood thought nothing of making Native Americans nameless, blood-thirsty savages who wanted nothing more than to rape the women, kidnap the children, and murder the men.
Slowly, Hollywood changed. By the 1950s they sometimes (but not always, not even all that often) made films that depicted Native Americans with an ounce of empathy. Devil’s Doorway is a film that points to the realities of how Native Americans were treated by white folk. Even ones who fought valiantly in the Civil War.
Unfortunately, the lead Native American is played by a decidedly white fella.
Were the film really good, I might be able to forgive that lapse in judgment. But as it is, the film isn’t great and so that bit of indiscretion stands out like a racist thumb.

I wish this book had come out when I was a teenager. I think it is safe to say now that I was a weird kid. Especially in rural, conservative Oklahoma. I liked horror movies and heavy metal. I grew my hair long and wore Doc Martens everywhere, even with shorts.
My Favorite Thing is Monsters is about a precocious, weird little girl who likes horror movies and pretends to be a werewolf. When her neighbor dies she dons the hate of a hard-boiled detective. It all takes place in the turbulent 1960s in Chicago.
Emil Farris’ art is a wondrous mix of styles and genres. It is a two-volume book and I reviewed Book Two for Cinema Sentries. Both are highly worth picking up.

This was another Bela Fleck show at the old Cuesta College Auditorium, which was located on the old campus behind the creek and once a part of the National Guard army base. The theater was built back during World War II and had amazing acoustics and a lot of charm but was a real eyesore and was eventually deemed to be not worthy for earthquake retrofitting and was abandoned in the late 2000s. Again, because of the cramped spaces in the aisles, the theater would not allow microphone stands so I had to hand-hold the Neumanns on a T-Bar. After the show I got my ticket stub signed by Bela.

Gary Cooper has a reputation for playing tough characters – the very epitome of the strong and silent type. I always assumed that meant he was rugged and manly. An alpha male. But the more I watch his films the more I find his acting has a vulnerability to it. Yes, his characters are strong, but it is an inner strength – a strength of character rather than might. He is often silent, but that silence signifies a thoughtfulness.
In Friendly Persuasion, he plays a Quaker living on the brink of the Civil War. When the war comes to him and his family he must decide whether or not to fight. How deep does his faith go?
It is actually a much sillier movie than that sounds. It makes a lot of playful fun with Quakerism and their “strange ways.” Honestly, that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. It isn’t a bad movie, as you can read in my full review, but not a great one either.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I was one of the first cars into the parking lot that morning, but the ‘Powers That Be’ wouldn’t let us into the gates of the show with our recording equipment until the Allman Brothers arrived and announced to them that taping was indeed OK. Fortunately, my friend Jim’s girlfriend went in while we waited outside and took a blanket in to reserve a spot. (We could have been a lot closer to the stage if security would have just let us in when we got there.) I remember that we missed the first one or two opening sets because of the miscommunication with the recording policy, and Blues Traveler was the first set that I ran tape for that day. Someone mentioned to us that they were doing a low-power FM broadcast off the board, but it was mono, so I set up my little Sony SRF-M30 quartz locked FM walkman and mixed the Nakamichi CM-300 shotguns with the FM signal. It was hard to monitor the sound at the show, and I didn’t realize that there was a big delay in the sound coming off the PA stacks as opposed to the FM feed. I still think that it sounds better than just the audience mics all by themselves. I still have the poster for this show!
