Creative people battle addiction
Recent events should make it fairly clear that the war on drugs is a dismal failure. Debate rages (as it should) about what might work and today it seems fitting to look at how creative people help in profound and very personal ways.
Now, you might assume that creative people tend to be more susceptible to addiction than the rest of us — think Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Philip Seymour Hoffman … the list goes on. But creative people may also offer the best solution to the problem by expressing their personal experiences through their art in a way that touches us deeply and gives those of us who might fall into addiction something to hold on to.
One of my favorite young artists, Tristen, who’s appearing at Brighton Music Hall tonight with Jeremy Messersmith, has a wonderful song with a catchy tune and simple, profound lyrics that express, through pop music bliss, her resolve not to feed her friend’s habit while continuing to love and care for him — Here’s the chorus.
I will never falter, I will never fear
For I’ve seen the demons love can conquer disappear
Watch her video
Closer to home, local rising star, Chelsea Berry’s song You Me and Mary shows us how drugs can ruin a relationship. Listen here:
Oliver Stone, in his cautionary movie The Doors, demonstrates how drugs and excess killed one of rock music’s most creative geniuses. This is the best anti-drug experience you could ever give your kids. Make them sit through the whole thing before they’re 12.
If recent events aren’t enough to convince you the war on drugs is folly, watch Steven Soderbergh’s brilliant film Traffic. As Roger Ebert says in his 4-star praise of this extraordinarily creative film, “This war is not winnable on the present terms, and takes a greater toll in human lives than the drugs themselves.” Watch this trailer:

Divorce Corp The Movie Playing at Cape Ann Community Cinema
David Calvo forwards-
Joey do you think we can promote this on the blog? I organized this with Robert Newton and there will be a discussion after the movie
SPECIAL SCREENING – “Divorce Corp.” (Sun. Mar. 9 @ 4:00pm)
By Robert Newton on January 15, 2014
For roughly 50% of American families divorce is an unpleasant fact of life. Dealing with divorce and its effects destroys lives and bankrupts individuals every day. Family law, which barely existed for most of our country’s history, has morphed into a gigantic industry over the past several decades. Learn first-hand about the excesses and injustices rampant in the U.S. family court system. Do not miss the riveting film that offers a spotless condemnation of family courts across America. In interviews with top insiders and an array of litigants, a place aptly termed “the last fiefdom of lawlessness and tyranny,” is uncovered.
DATE:
SUNDAY, MARCH 9TH @ 4:00PM
TICKETS:
$10.00 ADULTS / $8.50 STUDENTS & SENIORS / $7.00 CINEMA MEMBERS

Community Stuff 2/8/14
The February meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club takes will be at 8:00 pm on the 14th, Valentine’s day, under a full moon — an auspicious occasion. And what could be a more romantic way to spend an evening than a great astronomy club meeting? Bring your valentine!
Speaking this month will be the personable and charismatic Dr. Mario Motta, with his first-hand tale of the planning and construction of the biggest telescope on Cape Ann. You can see the giant observatory dome housing the meter-class instrument, if you look off towards Annisquam when you come in over the bridge (unless of course you’re supposed to be driving).
Later this year the club will have all sorts of telescopes for you to see up close during the second annual “Introduction to Amateur Astronomy” night, but this month will be your only chance to see how to make one that won’t fit through the door. Come on in and enjoy the holiday goodies, the great conversation, and a once-in-a-lifetime presentation.

A new Doggie Daycare and training service comes to town!
If you have ever owned a pet in Gloucester, then you’ve probably been to Animal Krackers, and I’m also sure you know Stacy! Besides providing us with all the pet essentials, they now are offering small dog daycare! They call the new service TINY TAILS; you get the idea. So it’s not for the Great Danes of the world, but your little friends have a new spot to play, make new friends, and listen to soothing music. You can also virtually visit your pooch during the day via webcams. The space is bright and cheerful with padded floors, and it’s all indoors. GMG, supporting our local spots the best we can!
