‘Your WildestDreams WithinReason’BY MIK E SACKS(TIN HOUSE BOOKS)Having firmly descended

into what I affectionately call“The Februaries,” I’ve beenin need of some chuckles tobreak up the lack of sunlightand warmth. This book is per-fectly suited to the doldrums— a collection of bizarre,highly clever humor piecesfromMike Sacks, previouslyseen in a number of top pub-lications like The New Yorker,Esquire andMcSweeney’s.Grouped together, the var-

ious vignettes present asort-of “what if” style ofhumor, answering ponderousquestions such as, “Whatwould a ‘FamilyWanted’ adlook like if written by ademon-possessed dog?” or“What is the sound of a Clas-sic Rock DJ having amentalbreakdown?” The results run-from hilarious lists (“ReasonsYou’re Still Single” and “SomeFabrications to Insert Into aPersonal Diary”) to kooky cor-respondences (Anne Frank’srejection letter).If you don’t want to take my

word for it, trust David Sedarisand Jack Handey, who bothblurbed the book on the cover.

Two Taylorsat Wharton

Ben Taylor, son of JamesTaylor opens up aboutperforming with his father

Ben Taylor has toured with Sheryl Crow and the Blues Travel-ers, but never his own father.Until now.The son of James Taylor and Carly Simon is setting off on a U.S.

tour with his dad — which hits the Wharton Center Cobb GreatHall onWednesday, March 9— in support of his upcom-ing release, “Listening,” out later this year.Far from an “opening act,” Benwill perform thewhole

set with his father, the two playing each others’ songsand trading on and off the way only father-son can.It took a while, but Ben says playing together was

inevitable.“Really, it’s a dream come true,” Ben said, speaking

last week from the first tour stop in Tulsa, Okla. “It wassomething we always figured we would get to sooner orlater, but neither of us wanted to rush it. I didn’t want tobe ill prepared, because I know what a pro he is.”Thewait was worth the payoff: “It’s fantastic perform-

ing with my father. I love these songs, I love his songs,and to be able to have him playing on my songs,” Bensaid.“I originally asked if I could come out opening for

him, but the whole set is integrated, and we’re bothon stage, performing on each others’ songs,” he added.

“Half the songs are my dad’s, and half are mine. It’s phenomenal.”At the heart of both Taylors’ musical appeal is an inherent com-

mand of the singer-songwriter genre, mixing in folk, country, gos-pel and blues elements, all of them carefully discreet and distinct.Lyrics are meaningful and relevant.“I think the task of a songwriter is to come up with a feeling ev-

eryone has had before and then come up with an original way toexpress it,” Ben said. “I don’t a see common theme in my songs.Some are traveling songs. I write a lot of love songs. I have someexistential, philosophical songs.“But they must all be relatable to the audience.”

“I’m reimpressedby the

sophistication ofhis songs, and Ican’t believe hewrote all that

stuff.”Ben Taylor

James TaylorThe idol of every male singer-song-writer, James Taylor came on the scenein the ‘70s, bringing delicate, intro-spective songs about everything fromromance to facing his own personaldemons. Musically, he brought calmfolk with pseudo-blues flourishes.Thelegendary performer went on to earn40 gold, platinum and multi-platinumawards and five Grammy awards.

Ben TaylorThe son of James Taylor, Ben says he’s

looking forward to hanging with his popson this tour:“To be honest, I’m so look-ing forward to spending some concen-

trated time with my dad and makingmusic with him over the next few

weeks,” he said.“We’re three daysinto the rehearsal process, and Ican’t imagine it will get betterthan this.”

»Ben Taylor on making musicfor a living: “It’s the incredibleirony of being paid for somethingso incredible to do; something Iwould be doing on my own time,no matter what else I had to do.Just the idea I don’t have to holda day job down, and that what Iget to do when other people go towork is write songs. I don’t knowwhat I did to deserve being thislucky.”»Ben Taylor, on picking uphis father’s tracks: “I took forgranted I could play all these[James Taylor] songs, because I’veknown them my whole life,” helaughed.“But my father’s songsrequire a tremendous amount ofrehearsal all day, and then I’m inmy room all night practicing. I’mreimpressed by the sophisticationof his songs, and I can’t believe hewrote all that stuff.”

Growing up a TaylorGrowing up inManhattan, Ben wasn’t sure he wanted

to be a musician.“I was resistant because of the obvious pitfalls and in-

security of pursuing a career in music,” he said.Of course, he couldn’t escape the fate.After teaching himself to play guitar, a young Ben re-

leased a collection of songs on Epic’s label, The WorkGroup, before launching his own label, Iris Musique,and releasing “Famous Among the Barns” in 2003, “RunAround the Sun” in 2005 and “Deeper than Gravity” in2006.Ben’s latest full-length is “The Legend of Kung Folk,

Pt. 1” (2008), and the title is a play on his background inmartial arts: “I grew up practicing a lot of martial arts,and in my 20s, started practicing tai chi.”In the end, music is simply his calling.“My heroes are musicians, and I couldn’t be satisfied

when I tried to do anything else,” Ben said. “My fatherwas always telling me that music was ‘blue collar’ andyou have to expect to work hard every night in order tomake it work, so it’s my goal to achieve that level of in-tensity.”As for growing up around two musical legends, the

memories are vivid.“They influencedme in all theobviousways, by seeing

them play their songs and watching them perform,” hesaid. “But the more I grow up, the more I realize I’vebeen influenced in so many little ways, too. My parents,being the archetypical male and female role models inmy life, influenced everything.”James and Carly also helped him develop the art of

songwriting.“I think that for songwriting, one of the best things is

simply to tour,” he said. “You don’t even know what oneof your songs is until you play it for an audience of peo-ple who you don’t know.When you get out in front of anaudience of paying patrons, that gives you a chance toposition your song, and that brings you along as a song-writer.”

On his ownIf you listen very closely to Ben’s singing voice,

you’ll hear a resemblance to his father, with cool,calm and effortless vocals. But that’s pretty muchwhere the comparisons end.“Now that I’m rehearsing with him and getting

deep into his songs, I remember how much moresophisticated his chord structures are than mine,”Ben said. “He plays guitar like a pianist. He doesn’tplay chords; he strums individual notes.”“He’s a really versatile and deeply musical cat,

and I grew up listening to hip hop music, so I don’tmind when there are only three chords in a song.”Wednesday’s showwill bring a collection of both

Taylors’ songs, classic and new.Ben’s favorite James Taylor songs?“I have 20 favorite songs of my father’s, but most

of the stuff I have nostalgic connections to aresongs people wouldn’t have heard of, unless theywere die hard James Taylor fans,” he said. “But asfor big songs, ‘Don’t Be Sad Because Your Son IsDown,’ I’m crazy about. Also ‘Mexico,’ ‘How SweetIt Is,’ ‘Handy Man,’ ‘Your Smiling Face.’“This music is part of the theme music of every-

body’s life.”Next up for Ben: releasing two new albums

this year — “Legend of Kung Folk, Pt. 1.5” and“Listening.”“The industry is in such a strange state right

now, so it’s hard to figure out how to launch cam-paigns for albums—whether to release things digi-tally or in album format, whether to release albumsor EPs, etc. So, we’re just trying to figure out thebest way forward. But the main thing for me rightnow is playing these shows.“I’m looking at this as an opportunity to learn

from my dad, who is such an experienced profes-sional. it’s not my tour at all, so we are rolling hisway, and that’s how I prefer it.”

cine epitomizes gospel-charged soul.Mighty Medicine plays the Chrome

Cat in Old Town today— a venue Neu-hardt says is one of the Lansing duo’sfavorites.“The Chrome Cat has a very wel-

coming atmosphere that has allowedus to gain a following there,” he said.“There is always a very up-beat feel-ing that gives us a lot of energy. Whenwe play so many different peoplecome out to see us. There is a widediversity of people who come to seeus there from all age groups and back-grounds. The Chrome Cat gives theenvironment for this to happen ... Ithink other bars in town can’t reallydo this.”Next up for Mighty Medicine: a new,

self-titled album out May 1, which theduo is recording at Herron Studio inEast Lansing.

Beer Explore some new

barley-and-hops brews

Le Petit Saison AleTWISTED PINE BREWING CO.,BOULDER, CO.WWW.TWISTEDPINEBREWING.COM5.5 PERCENT ABV

One of the pleasuresof writing this columnthe past few years iswatching the growth ofbreweries.My first experience

with Twisted Pine brewsstarted several years agowhen a local residentbrought some bottleshome from a trip to Col-orado.A standout was Billy’s

Chilies, a clean, light alewith five different pep-pers added that was notoverly hot, instead high-lighting the aromasand flavors of thepeppers.At the time, Twist-

ed Pine was merelya brewpub and itsofferings were onlyavailable in Boul-der.However, its

beers are nowavailablethroughout Col-orado and inLouisiana, Tex-as, Missouri,Nebraska andFlorida. Thegrowth is welldeserved, evenin the highlycompetitive Col-orado market.The latest

beers I tried wereLe Petit Saison Aleand Hoppy Knight IndiaBlack Ale, the latterwhich is about the sixthof the style I’ve comeacross the past couple ofmonths.The saison is well

within the farmhouseale style — pale yellowcolor, white fluffy head,aromas of light fruitsuch as apple and pear,along with biscuity yeastnotes.The taste follows the

aroma, along with pep-

pery spice, mediumsweetness and a semi-dry finish.It’s always a pleasure

to see American brewersdelving into the artof Belgian-style ales,and Twisted Pine re-ally delivers with LePetit.It’s a beer that

deserves to be inits 22-ounce bottle,as a 12-ounce justwouldn’t do.The HoppyKnight was anice changefrom some ofthe other at-tempts to mixexcessive hopswith a stoutthat I’ve had re-cently.Instead of

harshness fromthe hops orexcessive bitter-ness from theroasted malts, I got

a strong, clean grape-fruit-orange citrus back-ground that actuallyhelped highlight thechocolate and roastedflavors.Bitterness is present

throughout and in theaftertaste, but not in apunishing way.For those who might

sniffle that the beer isn’thoppy enough, why notjust boil hops in waterand drink it, since maltseems to hold no interestfor you?

Todd Haeferwrites about beer for Gannett. Some of the

beers may have limited availability. Check brewers’ websites.

T ODDHA EFER

A lot of small-town bars looklike the house of your uncle, theconfirmed bachelor. You know,it’s cozy but cluttered; not nec-essarily dirty, but never reallyclean either; and coordination —why would a bar need to be coor-dinated, anyway?While the Courthouse Pub is

certainly a classic small-townbar in many ways, it’s more likeyour other uncle’s house — theone whose wife keeps every-thing nice and tidy at all times.It still has a cozy, unintimidatingfeel, but everything is shiny andwell coordinated. And the wom-en’s bathroom is decorated withgerbera daisy art. Adorable.The Courthouse Pub is the

former Mason Jar bar, a changemade when owners Joe Ghinelliand Cliff Walkington purchasedthe business a couple of yearsago.Val Derosia, who has worked

at the bar for the last 10 years un-der multiple owners, attests thatthe Courthouse Pub is both newand improved, and the same oldlocal bar.

“Joe is a really active boss,”she said. “He did all the floors,the wood and all the decora-tions. He’s going to add an addi-tion that will double the size ofthe bar.”So that explains the shininess

and tidiness. While the Court-house Pub is currently a smallplace, thanks to large mirrors onthe wall it has a spacious feel. Inspring, when the addition is setto be completed, that spacious-ness will become more than anillusion.It seems it needs the room.

I arrived just after 5 p.m. ona Thursday, and couldn’t find aseat along the bar. The crowd,all of whom seemed like the“just got here from the office”type, must have timecards read-ing 4:59 p.m.“Our regular crowd is pretty

much the same,” Derosia saidof their post-Mason Jar regulars.“We gained a few people, butthey’re mostly locals who arehere a lot.”Those locals are now getting

the benefit of some changes be-

hind the bar as well. While thetaps still have the classic domes-tic offerings, the new owners arefeaturing one microbrew tap permonth to spice up the selections.The menu also is spiced up

with a few standout items amongthe classic bar fare, includingPepperjack Crab soup, which isevery bit as good as you suspectit may be, and “slappers,” whichare great big sandwiches featur-ing shaved rib-eye. Among thevariations are the “Cowboy slap-per” and “tongue slapper.” Spoil-er alert: there’s no actual tongueon the sandwich.Between the beer and the

slappers and the comfort of theirhometown bar, the regulars atthe Courthouse Pub are quitecontent.“It’s sort of a beer and Captain

and Coke crowd,” said Derosia.“We know almost all of ourregular customers by name. Weknow what they drink, and wehave their beer sitting on the barwaiting for them when they gethere.”

I don’t like waffles (or breakfastbreads of any kind), but right now Isure seem to enjoy waffling. It’s thetime of year for all of us in sportsmedia who happen to care about men’sNCAA basketball to hem and haw, tee-ter-totter and genuinely play ponderingping-pong about what may or may nothappen with the tournament bracketcome Selection Sunday (March 13).There are entire professions (annual,

salaried positions) that are built entirelyon speculation of tournament seeds forMarch Madness.Sometimes I cannot

believe that my moth-er didn’t tell me thiswas an option beforeI went to college.March Madness is acultural phenomenon— and rightly so.We’re closing in onthe end of the regularseason and hurtlingtoward conferencetournaments at break-neck pace. And thereare no two teams whosee the next ten daysas “their time” morethan MSU andMichigan.I never like to ac-

knowledge similaritiesbetween Spartans andWolverines (it makesme start to salivateexcessively), but thisyear — things are no-ticeably different. In 2011, MSU findsthemselves sitting fourth in the Big Ten,just ahead (as of Wednesday) of Illinoisand Michigan.If you would’ve told Tom Izzo in De-

cember that his team would be here inearly March, he might’ve opted to takehis talents to the home of the Rock &Roll Hall of Fame, the Browns and theFlats. (Not that he’d have won muchmore there, either …)To the contrary, Michigan, a young

team that came into the season untestedand with zero expectations for success,has outperformed and over-achieved somuch so that their regular-season résu-mé could gain them a spot in the dancefor only the second time in the past de-

cade.It’s a unique situation for State fans,

who have used the past three footballseasons to support the claim that thethrone of the collegiate Kings (and

Queens) of Amer-ica’s High Five isfirmly situated inEast Lansing. Thenotion that ourmen’s basketballteam is effectivelyfighting for its post-season life this Sat-urday at U-M’sCrisler Arenaagainst a foe that,for many years, wasa foregone conclu-sion — is a toughpill to swallow.While a win for

either team thisSaturday does notequate to an au-tomatic bid any-where, the momen-tum heading intothe Big Ten Confer-ence Tournamentwould be a serious

help. I’ve been looking at this game forweeks in anticipation: mostly becauseI desperately want vengeance for thedisgusting stomping we took at homeagainst U-M earlier this year. But alsobecause I think the way our guys re-spond to this game will dictate how far Ipick them to go beyond.Tip time on Saturday is at 2 p.m.,

and the game will be on CBS. Do your-self a favor and tune in for Sparty’s lastregular-season game. If we’re all lucky,MSU could use a win this weekend asa springboard for good things down theline. Enough waffling — let’s get downto winning.

Enoughwafflingalready!

NEXT GAME• MSU v. U-M Saturday at U-M’s Crisler

Arena.

• 2 p.m. on CBS.

THE LISTÁ

LIST CONTINUES Page 14

The Brunch House offersa surprising take on a typi-cal diner with the expectedfull breakfast lineup servedall day and lunch options in-cluding burgers, sandwichesand salads.But somewhere in the

middle, Lebanese flairbrings another element tothe south Lansing restau-rant, which replaced theHometown Diner a littlemore than a year ago.

THE SCENEThe Brunch House, while

not extravagant, is warmand welcoming. Laura andI were immediately greetedby not just one, but two, em-ployees as we made our wayto a table.At that point, it was late

morning and not too busy,but I could tell when thelunch hour hit.The diners steadily

streaming in were a cross-section of Lansing: the el-derly, men in business attireand students with their lap-tops.

THE FOODSince we were at a place

that identifies itself as“brunch,” we felt compelledto order from the breakfastmenu.Laura ordered the meat

lovers omelet ($6.95) — gen-erous portions of ham, ba-con, sausage and cheddarcheese inside three fluffyeggs, with hash browns andtoast.The waitress recommend-

ed the Leo’s Housa and eggs($6.95, with hash brownsand toast), a type of Leb-anese-style seasoned beefwith pine nuts. I was a littleskeptical at first.Breakfast food is my fa-

vorite type, but I’m pretty

traditional when it comes tothat — nothing beats wellscrambled eggs (or over me-dium), crisp, ungreasy ba-con, potatoes and toast. Butthe waitress pretty muchguaranteed that I’d like theHousa.And of course, she was

right. The whole concoctionwas very odd to me at first,since it’s unlike anythingI’ve ever had (for instance Ithought the eggs would beseparate from the meat butit’s all cooked together).It’s sweet and savory at

the same time, and the pinenuts provide a crunchinessto what’s otherwise a softermix of the eggs and tender-ness of the meat.

The hash browns wereperfectly crisp, and the en-tire experience satisfied twohungry people.

THE DRINKSA cup of coffee is worth

every bit of the $1.50 (withrefills). It was robust, but notbitter, and flavorful enoughto keep you coming back formore.

THE DAMAGE$16.70 (including tax, but

not tip).

NEXT TIMEThe 10-inch pancakes are

apparently famous, so Imight go for the double stack($4.99) with blueberries (ex-tra $1.50).

‘The Evil/Twice Dead’SHOUT! FAC T ORY(174 MIN, NOT RATED)Another entry in the indis-

pensable Shout! line of

Roger Corman Cult Classics,

this double feature includes

a pair of haunted house

tales, one ’70s and one

’80s, and the result is an

above average grindhouse-

style film experience at a

bargain price.

‘The Evil’, with its dilapi-

dated mansion setting and

and ’70s style, is the better-

made film, even boasting

competent structure and

pacing. But ‘Twice Dead’,

while being perhaps techni-

cally inferior, is more enter-

taining and worth the price

of admission alone.

Part home invasion, part

ghost story, ‘Twice’ pits

amazingly vile ‘Lost Boys’

wannabe punks against two

teens home alone, save

the vengeful (and helpful!)

specter haunting them. Suf-

fice to say, the punks meet

their demise in a variety of

most excellent ways.

Watch with the “Roger

Corman Experience” option

(complete with trailers) and

you have an instant, crowd-

pleasing cult movie night.

CAESAR SALAD WITHCRUNCHY CROUTONSTime: 1 hour, 10 minutes. Servings: 4 to 6

CRUNCHY CROUTONS• 5 cups fresh focaccia bread, cubed

• ¼ cup olive oil

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

DirectionsHeat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large

bowl, toss the cubed focaccia with the

olive oil until evenly coated, then toss

with the salt. Spread the bread on a

large, rimmed baking sheet and toast until

golden and crunchy, 15 to 20 minutes.

CAESAR SALAD DRESSING• 2 cloves garlic

• 3 anchovies, or to taste

• Zest and juice of ½ lemon, divided

• 1 ½ teaspoons red wine vinegar

• Worcestershire sauce

• 1 egg

• 1 cup olive oil, more as desired

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions• In a food processor, grind the garlic and

anchovy into a paste.

• In a medium bowl, combine the garlic-

anchovy paste with the lemon zest,

red wine vinegar, 1 to 2 dashes of

Worcestershire sauce and egg. Whisk to

combine, then whisk in the lemon juice.

• While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive

oil to emulsify the dressing. Season and

adjust the flavoring as desired. This makes

about 1 cup dressing, more than is needed

for the remainder of the recipe.

SALAD ASSEMBLY• 12 cups tender romaine leaves, washed

and drained

• 1/3 to ½ cup Caesar salad dressing, more

as desired

• 2 to 4 tablespoons freshly grated

Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions• In a large bowl, toss the romaine leaves

with dressing just to coat. Plate the salad

on a serving platter or on individual plates.

Sprinkle the Parmigiano evenly over the

salad, and top with the croutons.

you have what it takes to

succeed.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21) A casual

friend or coworker might

be interested in getting to

know you on a personal

basis. You could be

surprised about this

because you weren’t picking

up on his or her signals.

CAPRICORN(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19) You could

learn about new technology

like software, hardware, or

a handheld electronic device.

Neptune is increasing your

intelligence and your ability

to soak up fresh information.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18) Funky Mars

has you in the mood to

party. You don’t want to

focus on serious stuff like

work, money, or your long-

term future.

PISCES (FEB. 19 -MARCH 20) You could have

an intense discussion with

your honey as the moon

inspires you to make a

confession.

ARIES (MARCH 21 -APRIL 19) You and your

honey need resolve some

challenges involving

money. Work together to

balance your monthly

budget and make sure that

you’re both on the same

page with your finances.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 -MAY 20) Venus is puttingyou in a lovey-dovey mood.

You’ll want to turn off the

phone, the TV, and the

computer and simply spend

time with your sweetheart.

GEMINI (MAY 21 -JUNE 21) Your brain power is

being enhanced. You’ll find

it easy to figure out exactly

what you need to do with

romance. If you’re single,

you’ll come up with ways to

meet people.

CANCER (JUNE 22 -JULY 22) An emotional sun

is increasing your need to

open your heart. You might

need to shed a few tears

and resolve old pain.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG. 22)You’re in the mood to show

off as the moon increases

your desire for attention.

You’ll dress in your sexiest

outfit and shock everybody

with your hot moves on

the dance floor.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 22) You need to slow

down and take better care

of yourself this week. A

moon opposition is

reminding you that you

need to eat right, get

enough sleep, and make

sure you are exercising

once in a while.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 -OCT. 23) A talkative moon
