string(23954) "It was a day that I should have named the Weenie Apocalypse. It was July 11, 1979, and I was in Gibsonton, Florida, outside Tampa. On that day, the whole world was crazy. The 77-ton Skylab space station was set to crash to earth. The fear that it would miss its target, the Indian Ocean, and create random hellfire turned it into the favored party theme everywhere that year.
I went to one such impromptu party that day in Gibsonton, which was famous as the summer residence of the nation’s “carnies” — people who work for the carnivals that move all around America most of the year. My particular motivation for spending a few weeks there was to hang out with sideshow performers, especially the stars of so-called freak shows — “human oddities” — for a story I was writing. Unfortunately, it was difficult to penetrate that community unless I combined obsequiousness with drunkenness. I’ll spare you the details, but I ended up drunk behind the trailer of a famous freak, grilling burgers and hot dogs. It was a big deal for an outsider to be included by carnies.
The host brought me a hot dog and I balked. “Thanks, but I don’t eat those.”
I might as well have dropped the Skylab on the festival. Everyone went silent. “You said you love carnivals and you don’t eat hot dogs? Why don’t you eat them?”
“They make me sick. Ever since I was a kid, they’ve made me sick. It’s nothing personal. They make me sick, man.” I laughed drunkenly. “It’s like you’d be hit right here by a gut bomb instead of a space station. Haha.” Nobody laughed.
Thus did I brand myself a human oddity among professional human oddities. Truly, as long as I can remember, I would not eat the scrap meat ground and compressed into the gruesome treat wrapped in spongy white bread often drenched with ketchup called the hot dog. I did learn to eat some real sausages whose flavor made it worth risking a gastrointestinal catastrophe, but I have mainly avoided hot dogs my entire life ... until a few weeks ago, when I ate so many I lost count. Pathetically, I now crave them. I love them.
It wasn’t so much culinary adventure as pandemic cabin fever that led me to my new lover. True, I was intrigued when I came across promo material for a new venture in East Atlanta Village called Screamin’ Weenies. The name isn’t novel but it’s a good choice since the hot dog stand is operated on the rear patio of the very cool Banshee restaurant. Screaming is what banshees do best. It also occurred to me that hot dog joints might make a good pandemic story. I was double-vaccinated but still cautious, and I figured hot dogs are a quick, usually outdoors eat. So I took the pills I take to make scary food digestible and headed over to Screamin’ Weenies, which is open 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
The patio space is small, and most people were picking up at the window of the mini-food truck where the dogs are cooked. I wanted to soak up the screamin’ vibe, so I threw my book on one of the few tiny tables available before ordering from the menu of five dogs. There was the Atlanta chili/slaw, the classic Chicago, a New Yorker with stewed onions, the classic naked that you dump everything from relish to sauerkraut on, and the day’s special Banshee Dog. I went for the latter. It included a beef hot dog over caramelized onion, flanked by sliced American cheese, topped with Thousand Island dressing pocked with chunks of dill pickle. I got all sentimental when I saw that Cheerwine, the cherry soda I drank on the Catawba River as a kid, was available.
While I swilled my Cheerwine, I watched a woman be repelled from the order window for not wearing a mask. She had left hers in the car. “Hey,” I said, “I’m double-vaccinated. You can wear mine.” She declined. Hey, it’s not like I have herpes, bitch.
I got up to fetch my dog. How do I love thee? Let me count the inches. The slim dog languidly draped itself across the roll, seriously jutting out at each end, grilled with a slight char. The ingredients were arranged with intention. I bit into one of the naked ends and got that vaunted snap from the natural lamb casing. The damn thing was delicious. The firm dog, made locally by Fripper’s, tasted like real beef and was nestled in all those creamy textures with one bit of crunch from the pickles. Damn. I wanted another but I confess I wasn’t up for paying about $20 for two dogs and a drink. But I was happy. I felt so ashamed that the young me had disparaged that hot dog long ago in Gib’town.
That very evening, I excitedly told my friend Sausage Boy about the experience. He suggested that I may not want to generalize my new happiness to every hot dog in town. For an example of irredeemable misery, he said, I would not be able to write about hot dogs in Atlanta without going to the Varsity. I gasped. “I can’t go everywhere,” I said.
He said: “The Varsity isn’t some unknown everywhere. It’s the mother of dogs, the nipple on which every Atlanta child is suckled all the way through adulthood until the grease coagulates in every artery and lands you in a coffin at a funeral celebration catered by the Varsity, the very people who killed you.”
I told him I’d think about it. I had, by the way, decided I would limit this adventure to hot dogs, not the more complicated sausages that I really did learn to love. Nor would I be eating the raw onions that overpower every other taste with which they are associated. I would, however, permit myself to sample some chili, despite my dislike of the “classic” stuff that tastes like it was poured from a can stored in a fallout shelter for 40 years.
That night I decided to try the hot dog at Grindhouse Killer Burgers. I’ve been addicted to their Apache burger ever since they first opened just over 10 years ago at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. It has since left that location, expanding to several others, including the gigantic one on Memorial Drive that I decided to visit.
It was a Sunday night and I didn’t expect a wait. It was, after all, the Lord’s Day during a plague he had visited upon the entire world in retaliation for America’s embrace of Donald Trump. The place actually was relatively packed, and the line to order moved so slowly that, exasperated, I decided to leave and go across the parking lot to load up on Sunday specials at Supremo Taco. As I approached the window, they literally slammed the shutters closed. “Sold out!” I returned to Grindhouse, and the people in front of me earlier admitted me back to my former place. I waited literally 20 minutes total with a crowd of fellow deep-sighers and eye-rollers.
“Y’all are really slow,” I rudely said to the guy taking orders. He explained they were short-handed. Whatever. I placed my order to go and went to wait another 15 minutes at a table. When the bag arrived, I was ravenous and I decided to eat the hot dog on the premises. Grindhouse buys its dogs from legendary Vienna Beef in Chicago. I’d ordered mine with slaw, apparently the Atlanta favorite everywhere. I reached in the bag, pulled it out, and it completely fell apart in my hands. The aluminum foil I presumed was wrapping it turned out to be a loose sheet set over the top of the dog, which was in the usual cardboard cradle. I fetched the dog and bun from the floor. I swept the slaw on the table onto it. I ate it. It was actually delicious, and at $4 (including 50 cents for the slaw), it was the cheapest dog I’d eat. (I should note that the light use of aluminum foil would make the dog’s transport less steamy than full wrapping, but my piggy hands did not anticipate that.)
I began to lose track of time. The hands on my clock turned into naked weenies. Eventually, a Saturday rolled around, and I felt fortified enough to attempt the unthinkable: The Varsity. I have lived in Atlanta most of my life and I have been to this enormous cliché only three times, as I recall. Once was in high school, on the way to the Georgia/Georgia Tech game. Second was with a visiting former college roommate who later cursed himself for trusting a tourist guide. Third was with my partner’s family. All were occasions of violent protest by my innards.
I was shocked when I arrived, under the influence of GI medication, to see how crowded the place was, although I quickly found a parking space. The long line inside moved more rapidly than the bowels of the diners speeding to the bathrooms. I was happy to see that literally everyone in view was wearing a mask, except for the family of seven Appalachian refugees directly behind me. The woman in front of me surreptitiously took their picture and posted it online. “Where your masks at?” I asked Daddy Billy. He glared and pulled one of his litter close to him like a shield. “If you can use a child as your shield, you can wear a mask, dumbass.” Okay, I didn’t really say that.
I ordered the iconic crap. A chili-cheese-slaw dog, onion rings, a fried peach pie, and a Frosted Orange. I was happy to notice that I did not hear any of the counter people shrieking the classic mantra, “Whattayahave?” My order instantaneously appeared, and I toted it to the “ESPN room” where I watched the Master’s Tournament and had flashbacks to childhood of watching golf all weekend with my father. I ate.
You know what? I hate myself. I ate those gigantic, greasy onion rings in nothing flat. A young guy at a nearby table noted my speed and whined that he didn’t receive any ketchup for his rings. I tossed him my envelopes.
“Why do you people put ketchup on everything fried?” I asked him.
“Us people do that to cover up the strongest taste of the grease, dude. Duh!”
Oh my god. It makes sense because everything there does have that singular note of aged, cured frying oil, supposedly never changed for decades.
The Frosted Orange tasted like a melted Creamsicle, a bit watery but good enough to ring the bells of an ice cream truck in my head. The peach pie was fucking delicious. The hot dog of course was the most revolting thing I’ve put in my mouth since I was potty-trained. The greasy, stinky, yellow-stained chili made with ground-up mystery meat was slimed with hidden slaw from hell and yellow cheese that wouldn’t melt. Somehow, the baloney-tasting hot dog itself and its bun literally broke as if it were crying to be put out of its misery. Two bites and I was done. Sorry, dog.
I called Sausage Boy on the way home. “It wasn’t that bad,” I said. “Only the hot dog was inedible.”
“But the hot dog is the point,” he said. “You failed.”
I was okay with failing. The Lord’s Day arrived again. I decided to head to Cabbagetown to visit Little’s Food Store, where I hadn’t been in years. I used to love to visit it and neighboring Carroll Street Café but that narrow street is a nightmare to negotiate. I actually embarrassed myself by immediately finding a large parking space directly in front of Little’s, which looks like a monument to so-called outsider art. As usual, the street was full of milling residents, hanging out in a few vacant lots turned into make-shift parks.
I went inside. My eyes teared-up seeing all the grunge, and I rushed toward the grill where I was abruptly told to step my ass back. Soon enough, I ordered a chili dog with a side of slaw and some fries. I loitered, looking around mindlessly. An employee ordered me outside, where she soon brought my food in a black Styrofoam box.
I sat on a bench outside the store and opened the box. My plan was to dump the sweet, spicy slaw on the chili dog, but that was difficult. I bit into the dog. I sighed. “I might as well face it,” I told the black cat that had suddenly appeared. “I just don’t like this super-ground version of chili that seems to be everyone’s favorite.” I dunked a limp fry in the chili and put it on the sidewalk for the presumably hungry stray. The cat sniffed and looked away. Fine. I put some slaw down. He struck it with his paw and backed away. Then he turned the corner and ran up the stairs to his apparent home. I wasn’t quite as unimpressed as the cat, who probably got sick of the food years ago, and the chili was definitely better than the Varsity’s, as was the hot dog itself, made by Fripper’s like those at Screamin’ Weenies. I ate it all. But I shuddered when I looked up and saw that Little’s flew a pirate’s flag. Between it and the black cat, I must have been bound for bad luck.
I called Sausage Boy again. “I’m becoming indiscriminate,” I said. “Everything is running together in my head. A black cat derided me for eating a chili dog today.” He proposed a solution: “Go try a vegan or vegetarian hot dog.”
Was this the bad luck the cat brought? Most of the hot dog places I investigated did offer such a thing, but how could something I have always hated be any more tolerable when imitated by healthy vegetables put to criminal use? But I decided to give it a go. I journeyed in the rain to the MET in West Atlanta. This gigantic warehouse development is home to La Bodega, a take-out pupuseria which also hosts the Window, a pop-up location for start-ups. One of those is Carrot Dog, operated by Kemi Bennings as part of her company, Food for Thought Vegan Café. She has an impressive resume of feeding celebrities and brands herself a “renaissance woman and creative badass.”
When I first saw Carrot Dog during an earlier visit to review Bodega, I was thoroughly repulsed. I don’t really like carrots, and at the time I still really loathed even the thought of a hot dog. I’m going to be hated for saying this, but I ended up telling myself that this ridiculous creation was my favorite hot dog. I don’t know if that’s fair. Calling a carrot a weenie may be too oxymoronic even for this dying world.
Bennings brines fat carrots in countless spices before cooking them. The carrots have just the right texture. They aren’t mushy like the ones your mother serves with pot roast, and they aren’t raw and unseasoned like people who claim they improve vision want them to be. These are nestled into slightly grilled buns and then dressed in a variety of ways. I chose a “Southern Santa Fe” specialty dog. The carrot is covered with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced avocado, smoked chipotle vegan mayo, chopped onions (which I declined), and, um, vegan bacon. Alright, I admit that the best thing about the tiny flap of vegan bacon was that it was completely inconspicuous with no noticeable taste or texture. I actually would have preferred more heat from the chipotle mayo, but this creation was a huge relief from everything I’d eaten. I think the effect was like eating dog food for weeks and then being served a fresh salad. Whatever, it was really good and only available Saturdays.
But I was still hungry.
Shamefully, on the way home, I decided to pay a second quick visit to Hot Dog Pete’s in Summerhill. I had tried takeout with a friend last summer and wasn’t impressed enough to eat more than a couple of bites of the two dogs we ordered. The menu includes sausages as well as an all-beef wiener and one made with beef and pork. They are all made by Fritz’s Meat & Superior Sausage in Kansas City. Pete’s shares ownership and patios with the oddly named Hero Doughnuts & Buns. More than doughnuts, Hero is known for its sandwiches made with house-baked brioche buns. The fried pork chop, the “Super Crunch” chicken, and the burger are all as addictive as the name of the house’s secret sauce — “crack sauce” — suggests.
To stay consistent, I ordered an all-beef hot dog with chili and slaw. The big difference here is slaw made with collards and a brioche bun from Alon’s that earns our highly coveted Best of the Buns Award. Everything about this dog was savory — even the chili, despite one flaw: weirdly dry beans. But I’ll gladly deal with that in exchange for not having to deal with the over-seasoned greasy stuff that most seem to prefer.
Time ticked on. I was growing tired of this adventure. I called Sausage Boy and told him I felt I needed to get to two more places — the Original Hot Dog Factory and Skip’s Chicago Dogs. “I need encouragement,” I told him. “Last night I dreamed I was back in Gibsonton and Lobster Boy murdered me.” The Sausage told me he had faith in me. I hung up the phone and got in my car and headed to the Original Hot Dog Factory on Piedmont Avenue. It’s technically on the Georgia State University campus.
About four hours later I was looking up from a bed and had no idea where I was. A doctor explained that I was in the Emory Midtown Hospital emergency room. I had been in a car wreck. I was completely uninjured, but I was in a state of total amnesia. I remembered nothing of the last hours. “What is wrong with me?” I asked.
“We’re not sure,” he said.
“It’s the hot dogs,” I said.
“What?”
“Never mind.”
He wanted me to stay overnight for examination the next morning by a neurologist. However, Kaiser, my insurance company, insisted that I be discharged (and it took over a week to get an appointment with them). The next morning, I Ubered to pick up my car at the city lot where it had been towed. I expected it to be damaged, but it was not. “Are you okay?” one of the employees out front asked me.
“I need a hot dog.”
I got in my car and drove directly to the Original Hot Dog Factory. I wasn’t sure if I had actually been there or not. I only knew that my accident, which involved another car, was in the immediate area. The restaurant, part of a chain, was empty except for me and two employees.
“Hey,” I said, “did y’all happen to see an accident near here yesterday?” They said they had not. “Well, what about me? Did I eat here?” They looked a bit perturbed. “Never mind,” I said. With the advice of one of the employees, I ordered the all-beef Hawaiian dog. I also forced myself to do the unthinkable and order the second corn dog of my life.
As I had come to realize by this point, there is no such thing as a hot dog with too much topping. The Hawaiian dog’s included a gigantic load of bacon, cheese, lightly grilled onions, and lots of grilled pineapple. In other words, it was the weenie version of the Hawaiian pizza which I usually detest, but it was the perfect mindless food for the amnesiac I had become. I figured I’d forget it by the time I got home. Obviously, I didn’t. I do congratulate myself for being able to eat the mess without resorting to a knife and fork. Hot dogs have made me a master of finger food.
I don’t know exactly why the concept of a corn dog disgusts me. The only one I remember ever eating was on a dare at Dakota Blue in Grant Park about five years ago, and I actually kind of liked it. My corn dog at The Hot Dog Factory looked like a bulbous fried sex toy. I nervously bit into it and was surprised by a rush of crispy, juicy sweetness. The all-beef dog retained its earthy flavor. Yeah, boy!
I decided I needed to try a dessert. This causes me a great deal of shame, and I blame it on my brain-rattling accident. I ate a fried Twinkie. I can say with absolute certainty that I have never eaten a Twinkie in any form, although I was tempted in the late ’70s when Dan White supposedly blamed eating too many Twinkies for his assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. This was labeled the “Twinkie Defense.” I have no viable defense of my decision to eat the deep-fried mess at the Hot Dog Factory, but it was spectacularly delicious, like a fist full of creamy melting cake oozing all kinds of white stuff inside sugar-coated crispy batter. It made the glazed donut at Krispy Kreme seem so pathetic.
I shared this discovery with Sausage Boy, explaining that I was starting to doubt my taste. He acknowledged my worry but urged me to be kinder to myself. I told him the Twinkie had awakened a memory of working at Six Flags Over Georgia when I was 16. How had I forgotten that I worked in a hot dog stand? How had I forgotten how much I hated the customers who acted like they were buying delicacies instead of shitloads of crap I barely cooked on a griddle? How had I forgotten that throwing a hot dog at a customer and shoving him with a broom handle had nearly gotten me fired? Obviously, the hot dog — foe of my digestion and weapon against redneck assholes — was intimately connected to the PTSD I never knew I suffered. “Be strong,” Sausage Boy told me. “You’re at the end.”
Onward! Wednesday arrived. That’s the day I resumed my years-long weekly lunch with two fully vaccinated friends. We drove to 40-year-old Skip’s Chicago Dogs in Avondale, probably the venue most hot dog lovers mentioned to me when I asked for recommendations. It looks like your usual fast-food place with mustard-and-ketchup-colored walls hung with sports stuff. Despite the name, sandwiches and burgers outnumber the hot dogs, which are made with Vienna beef.
In my little sampling of hot dogs over the years, the Chicago style has usually been the most appetizing. Skip’s dog, according to the menu, is typically topped with pickles, peppers, celery salt, mustard, relish, and tomatoes. Sorry, Skip, but my dog was a low-class version. I found none of the juicy-hot sport pickles that I love. The huge strip of dill pickle overwhelmed everything. The tomatoes were pink and flavorless. What am I missing, people?
By way of comparison to the Varsity, with which everyone positively compared it, I also ordered onion rings and a chili-slaw dog. The rings weren’t bad, but they were anemically skinny compared to the Varsity’s (and, granted, a ton less greasy). While no chili anywhere on the planet is as vile as the Varsity’s, Skip’s was totally meh, and the slaw tasted straight out of the Kroger deli bin. My friends did no better with their orders. I expected this to be the grand finale of my tour. But it was more like a return to vapidity. I felt my lust for hot dogs deflating, and, looking back, it was the dogs at Screamin’ Weenies and Carrot Dog that I hold dearest to my broken heart.
I called Sausage Boy and told him I was done. He warmly congratulated me. “Is Little’s black cat of bad fortune on you forever? Was it worth the traffic accident you don’t remember and might land you in jail?” he asked. “Was it worth the derepression of traumatic memories of the human oddities you outraged and the customer you assaulted with a hot dog at Six Flags? What impassions you now? What calls you?”
I had no answer. I had gone so high. Maybe … I called Sausage Boy repeatedly for guidance in the weeks that followed and never heard back from him. Finally, the doorbell rang one day, and there was a black cat on the front porch with a weenie between its teeth. It was time to start over. —CL—

I told him I’d think about it. I had, by the way, decided I would limit this adventure to hot dogs, not the more complicated sausages that I really did learn to love. Nor would I be eating the raw onions that overpower every other taste with which they are associated. I would, however, permit myself to sample some chili, despite my dislike of the “classic” stuff that tastes like it was poured from a can stored in a fallout shelter for 40 years.
That night I decided to try the hot dog at Grindhouse Killer Burgers. I’ve been addicted to their Apache burger ever since they first opened just over 10 years ago at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. It has since left that location, expanding to several others, including the gigantic one on Memorial Drive that I decided to visit.
It was a Sunday night and I didn’t expect a wait. It was, after all, the Lord’s Day during a plague he had visited upon the entire world in retaliation for America’s embrace of Donald Trump. The place actually was relatively packed, and the line to order moved so slowly that, exasperated, I decided to leave and go across the parking lot to load up on Sunday specials at Supremo Taco. As I approached the window, they literally slammed the shutters closed. “Sold out!” I returned to Grindhouse, and the people in front of me earlier admitted me back to my former place. I waited literally 20 minutes total with a crowd of fellow deep-sighers and eye-rollers.
“Y’all are really slow,” I rudely said to the guy taking orders. He explained they were short-handed. Whatever. I placed my order to go and went to wait another 15 minutes at a table. When the bag arrived, I was ravenous and I decided to eat the hot dog on the premises. Grindhouse buys its dogs from legendary Vienna Beef in Chicago. I’d ordered mine with slaw, apparently the Atlanta favorite everywhere. I reached in the bag, pulled it out, and it completely fell apart in my hands. The aluminum foil I presumed was wrapping it turned out to be a loose sheet set over the top of the dog, which was in the usual cardboard cradle. I fetched the dog and bun from the floor. I swept the slaw on the table onto it. I ate it. It was actually delicious, and at $4 (including 50 cents for the slaw), it was the cheapest dog I’d eat. (I should note that the light use of aluminum foil would make the dog’s transport less steamy than full wrapping, but my piggy hands did not anticipate that.)
I began to lose track of time. The hands on my clock turned into naked weenies. Eventually, a Saturday rolled around, and I felt fortified enough to attempt the unthinkable: The Varsity. I have lived in Atlanta most of my life and I have been to this enormous cliché only three times, as I recall. Once was in high school, on the way to the Georgia/Georgia Tech game. Second was with a visiting former college roommate who later cursed himself for trusting a tourist guide. Third was with my partner’s family. All were occasions of violent protest by my innards.
I was shocked when I arrived, under the influence of GI medication, to see how crowded the place was, although I quickly found a parking space. The long line inside moved more rapidly than the bowels of the diners speeding to the bathrooms. I was happy to see that literally everyone in view was wearing a mask, except for the family of seven Appalachian refugees directly behind me. The woman in front of me surreptitiously took their picture and posted it online. “Where your masks at?” I asked Daddy Billy. He glared and pulled one of his litter close to him like a shield. “If you can use a child as your shield, you can wear a mask, dumbass.” Okay, I didn’t really say that.
I ordered the iconic crap. A chili-cheese-slaw dog, onion rings, a fried peach pie, and a Frosted Orange. I was happy to notice that I did not hear any of the counter people shrieking the classic mantra, “Whattayahave?” My order instantaneously appeared, and I toted it to the “ESPN room” where I watched the Master’s Tournament and had flashbacks to childhood of watching golf all weekend with my father. I ate.
You know what? I hate myself. I ate those gigantic, greasy onion rings in nothing flat. A young guy at a nearby table noted my speed and whined that he didn’t receive any ketchup for his rings. I tossed him my envelopes.
“Why do you people put ketchup on everything fried?” I asked him.
“Us people do that to cover up the strongest taste of the grease, dude. Duh!”
Oh my god. It makes sense because everything there does have that singular note of aged, cured frying oil, supposedly never changed for decades.
The Frosted Orange tasted like a melted Creamsicle, a bit watery but good enough to ring the bells of an ice cream truck in my head. The peach pie was fucking delicious. The hot dog of course was the most revolting thing I’ve put in my mouth since I was potty-trained. The greasy, stinky, yellow-stained chili made with ground-up mystery meat was slimed with hidden slaw from hell and yellow cheese that wouldn’t melt. Somehow, the baloney-tasting hot dog itself and its bun literally broke as if it were crying to be put out of its misery. Two bites and I was done. Sorry, dog.
I called Sausage Boy on the way home. “It wasn’t that bad,” I said. “Only the hot dog was inedible.”
“But the hot dog is the point,” he said. “You failed.”
I was okay with failing. The Lord’s Day arrived again. I decided to head to Cabbagetown to visit Little’s Food Store, where I hadn’t been in years. I used to love to visit it and neighboring Carroll Street Café but that narrow street is a nightmare to negotiate. I actually embarrassed myself by immediately finding a large parking space directly in front of Little’s, which looks like a monument to so-called outsider art. As usual, the street was full of milling residents, hanging out in a few vacant lots turned into make-shift parks.

I went inside. My eyes teared-up seeing all the grunge, and I rushed toward the grill where I was abruptly told to step my ass back. Soon enough, I ordered a chili dog with a side of slaw and some fries. I loitered, looking around mindlessly. An employee ordered me outside, where she soon brought my food in a black Styrofoam box.
I sat on a bench outside the store and opened the box. My plan was to dump the sweet, spicy slaw on the chili dog, but that was difficult. I bit into the dog. I sighed. “I might as well face it,” I told the black cat that had suddenly appeared. “I just don’t like this super-ground version of chili that seems to be everyone’s favorite.” I dunked a limp fry in the chili and put it on the sidewalk for the presumably hungry stray. The cat sniffed and looked away. Fine. I put some slaw down. He struck it with his paw and backed away. Then he turned the corner and ran up the stairs to his apparent home. I wasn’t quite as unimpressed as the cat, who probably got sick of the food years ago, and the chili was definitely better than the Varsity’s, as was the hot dog itself, made by Fripper’s like those at Screamin’ Weenies. I ate it all. But I shuddered when I looked up and saw that Little’s flew a pirate’s flag. Between it and the black cat, I must have been bound for bad luck.
I called Sausage Boy again. “I’m becoming indiscriminate,” I said. “Everything is running together in my head. A black cat derided me for eating a chili dog today.” He proposed a solution: “Go try a vegan or vegetarian hot dog.”
Was this the bad luck the cat brought? Most of the hot dog places I investigated did offer such a thing, but how could something I have always hated be any more tolerable when imitated by healthy vegetables put to criminal use? But I decided to give it a go. I journeyed in the rain to the MET in West Atlanta. This gigantic warehouse development is home to La Bodega, a take-out pupuseria which also hosts the Window, a pop-up location for start-ups. One of those is Carrot Dog, operated by Kemi Bennings as part of her company, Food for Thought Vegan Café. She has an impressive resume of feeding celebrities and brands herself a “renaissance woman and creative badass.”
When I first saw Carrot Dog during an earlier visit to review Bodega, I was thoroughly repulsed. I don’t really like carrots, and at the time I still really loathed even the thought of a hot dog. I’m going to be hated for saying this, but I ended up telling myself that this ridiculous creation was my favorite hot dog. I don’t know if that’s fair. Calling a carrot a weenie may be too oxymoronic even for this dying world.

Bennings brines fat carrots in countless spices before cooking them. The carrots have just the right texture. They aren’t mushy like the ones your mother serves with pot roast, and they aren’t raw and unseasoned like people who claim they improve vision want them to be. These are nestled into slightly grilled buns and then dressed in a variety of ways. I chose a “Southern Santa Fe” specialty dog. The carrot is covered with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced avocado, smoked chipotle vegan mayo, chopped onions (which I declined), and, um, vegan bacon. Alright, I admit that the best thing about the tiny flap of vegan bacon was that it was completely inconspicuous with no noticeable taste or texture. I actually would have preferred more heat from the chipotle mayo, but this creation was a huge relief from everything I’d eaten. I think the effect was like eating dog food for weeks and then being served a fresh salad. Whatever, it was really good and only available Saturdays.
But I was still hungry.
Shamefully, on the way home, I decided to pay a second quick visit to Hot Dog Pete’s in Summerhill. I had tried takeout with a friend last summer and wasn’t impressed enough to eat more than a couple of bites of the two dogs we ordered. The menu includes sausages as well as an all-beef wiener and one made with beef and pork. They are all made by Fritz’s Meat & Superior Sausage in Kansas City. Pete’s shares ownership and patios with the oddly named Hero Doughnuts & Buns. More than doughnuts, Hero is known for its sandwiches made with house-baked brioche buns. The fried pork chop, the “Super Crunch” chicken, and the burger are all as addictive as the name of the house’s secret sauce — “crack sauce” — suggests.
To stay consistent, I ordered an all-beef hot dog with chili and slaw. The big difference here is slaw made with collards and a brioche bun from Alon’s that earns our highly coveted Best of the Buns Award. Everything about this dog was savory — even the chili, despite one flaw: weirdly dry beans. But I’ll gladly deal with that in exchange for not having to deal with the over-seasoned greasy stuff that most seem to prefer.
Time ticked on. I was growing tired of this adventure. I called Sausage Boy and told him I felt I needed to get to two more places — the Original Hot Dog Factory and Skip’s Chicago Dogs. “I need encouragement,” I told him. “Last night I dreamed I was back in Gibsonton and Lobster Boy murdered me.” The Sausage told me he had faith in me. I hung up the phone and got in my car and headed to the Original Hot Dog Factory on Piedmont Avenue. It’s technically on the Georgia State University campus.
About four hours later I was looking up from a bed and had no idea where I was. A doctor explained that I was in the Emory Midtown Hospital emergency room. I had been in a car wreck. I was completely uninjured, but I was in a state of total amnesia. I remembered nothing of the last hours. “What is wrong with me?” I asked.
“We’re not sure,” he said.
“It’s the hot dogs,” I said.
“What?”
“Never mind.”
He wanted me to stay overnight for examination the next morning by a neurologist. However, Kaiser, my insurance company, insisted that I be discharged (and it took over a week to get an appointment with them). The next morning, I Ubered to pick up my car at the city lot where it had been towed. I expected it to be damaged, but it was not. “Are you okay?” one of the employees out front asked me.
“I need a hot dog.”
I got in my car and drove directly to the Original Hot Dog Factory. I wasn’t sure if I had actually been there or not. I only knew that my accident, which involved another car, was in the immediate area. The restaurant, part of a chain, was empty except for me and two employees.
“Hey,” I said, “did y’all happen to see an accident near here yesterday?” They said they had not. “Well, what about me? Did I eat here?” They looked a bit perturbed. “Never mind,” I said. With the advice of one of the employees, I ordered the all-beef Hawaiian dog. I also forced myself to do the unthinkable and order the second corn dog of my life.
As I had come to realize by this point, there is no such thing as a hot dog with too much topping. The Hawaiian dog’s included a gigantic load of bacon, cheese, lightly grilled onions, and lots of grilled pineapple. In other words, it was the weenie version of the Hawaiian pizza which I usually detest, but it was the perfect mindless food for the amnesiac I had become. I figured I’d forget it by the time I got home. Obviously, I didn’t. I do congratulate myself for being able to eat the mess without resorting to a knife and fork. Hot dogs have made me a master of finger food.
I don’t know exactly why the concept of a corn dog disgusts me. The only one I remember ever eating was on a dare at Dakota Blue in Grant Park about five years ago, and I actually kind of liked it. My corn dog at The Hot Dog Factory looked like a bulbous fried sex toy. I nervously bit into it and was surprised by a rush of crispy, juicy sweetness. The all-beef dog retained its earthy flavor. Yeah, boy!
I decided I needed to try a dessert. This causes me a great deal of shame, and I blame it on my brain-rattling accident. I ate a fried Twinkie. I can say with absolute certainty that I have never eaten a Twinkie in any form, although I was tempted in the late ’70s when Dan White supposedly blamed eating too many Twinkies for his assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. This was labeled the “Twinkie Defense.” I have no viable defense of my decision to eat the deep-fried mess at the Hot Dog Factory, but it was spectacularly delicious, like a fist full of creamy melting cake oozing all kinds of white stuff inside sugar-coated crispy batter. It made the glazed donut at Krispy Kreme seem so pathetic.
I shared this discovery with Sausage Boy, explaining that I was starting to doubt my taste. He acknowledged my worry but urged me to be kinder to myself. I told him the Twinkie had awakened a memory of working at Six Flags Over Georgia when I was 16. How had I forgotten that I worked in a hot dog stand? How had I forgotten how much I hated the customers who acted like they were buying delicacies instead of shitloads of crap I barely cooked on a griddle? How had I forgotten that throwing a hot dog at a customer and shoving him with a broom handle had nearly gotten me fired? Obviously, the hot dog — foe of my digestion and weapon against redneck assholes — was intimately connected to the PTSD I never knew I suffered. “Be strong,” Sausage Boy told me. “You’re at the end.”
Onward! Wednesday arrived. That’s the day I resumed my years-long weekly lunch with two fully vaccinated friends. We drove to 40-year-old Skip’s Chicago Dogs in Avondale, probably the venue most hot dog lovers mentioned to me when I asked for recommendations. It looks like your usual fast-food place with mustard-and-ketchup-colored walls hung with sports stuff. Despite the name, sandwiches and burgers outnumber the hot dogs, which are made with Vienna beef.
In my little sampling of hot dogs over the years, the Chicago style has usually been the most appetizing. Skip’s dog, according to the menu, is typically topped with pickles, peppers, celery salt, mustard, relish, and tomatoes. Sorry, Skip, but my dog was a low-class version. I found none of the juicy-hot sport pickles that I love. The huge strip of dill pickle overwhelmed everything. The tomatoes were pink and flavorless. What am I missing, people?
By way of comparison to the Varsity, with which everyone positively compared it, I also ordered onion rings and a chili-slaw dog. The rings weren’t bad, but they were anemically skinny compared to the Varsity’s (and, granted, a ton less greasy). While no chili anywhere on the planet is as vile as the Varsity’s, Skip’s was totally meh, and the slaw tasted straight out of the Kroger deli bin. My friends did no better with their orders. I expected this to be the grand finale of my tour. But it was more like a return to vapidity. I felt my lust for hot dogs deflating, and, looking back, it was the dogs at Screamin’ Weenies and Carrot Dog that I hold dearest to my broken heart.
I called Sausage Boy and told him I was done. He warmly congratulated me. “Is Little’s black cat of bad fortune on you forever? Was it worth the traffic accident you don’t remember and might land you in jail?” he asked. “Was it worth the derepression of traumatic memories of the human oddities you outraged and the customer you assaulted with a hot dog at Six Flags? What impassions you now? What calls you?”
I had no answer. I had gone so high. Maybe … I called Sausage Boy repeatedly for guidance in the weeks that followed and never heard back from him. Finally, the doorbell rang one day, and there was a black cat on the front porch with a weenie between its teeth. It was time to start over. __—CL—__

They are a 3rd generation owned family affair that have been making their own dogs in Western New York for that long. They are far superior to any other dogs. The only kind I buy now for my home grill.

It was July 11, 1979, and I was in Gibsonton, Florida, outside Tampa. On that day, the whole world was crazy. The 77-ton Skylab space station was set to crash to earth. The fear that it would miss its target, the Indian Ocean, and create random hellfire turned it into the favored party theme everywhere that year.
I went to one such impromptu party that day in Gibsonton, which was famous as the summer residence of the nation’s “carnies” — people who work for the carnivals that move all around America most of the year. My particular motivation for spending a few weeks there was to hang out with sideshow performers, especially the stars of so-called freak shows — “human oddities” — for a story I was writing. Unfortunately, it was difficult to penetrate that community unless I combined obsequiousness with drunkenness. I’ll spare you the details, but I ended up drunk behind the trailer of a famous freak, grilling burgers and hot dogs. It was a big deal for an outsider to be included by carnies.
The host brought me a hot dog and I balked. “Thanks, but I don’t eat those.”
I might as well have dropped the Skylab on the festival. Everyone went silent. “You said you love carnivals and you don’t eat hot dogs? Why don’t you eat them?”
“They make me sick. Ever since I was a kid, they’ve made me sick. It’s nothing personal. They make me sick, man.” I laughed drunkenly. “It’s like you’d be hit right here by a gut bomb instead of a space station. Haha.” Nobody laughed.
Thus did I brand myself a human oddity among professional human oddities. Truly, as long as I can remember, I would not eat the scrap meat ground and compressed into the gruesome treat wrapped in spongy white bread often drenched with ketchup called the hot dog. I did learn to eat some real sausages whose flavor made it worth risking a gastrointestinal catastrophe, but I have mainly avoided hot dogs my entire life ... until a few weeks ago, when I ate so many I lost count. Pathetically, I now crave them. I love them.
It wasn’t so much culinary adventure as pandemic cabin fever that led me to my new lover. True, I was intrigued when I came across promo material for a new venture in East Atlanta Village called Screamin’ Weenies. The name isn’t novel but it’s a good choice since the hot dog stand is operated on the rear patio of the very cool Banshee restaurant. Screaming is what banshees do best. It also occurred to me that hot dog joints might make a good pandemic story. I was double-vaccinated but still cautious, and I figured hot dogs are a quick, usually outdoors eat. So I took the pills I take to make scary food digestible and headed over to Screamin’ Weenies, which is open 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
The patio space is small, and most people were picking up at the window of the mini-food truck where the dogs are cooked. I wanted to soak up the screamin’ vibe, so I threw my book on one of the few tiny tables available before ordering from the menu of five dogs. There was the Atlanta chili/slaw, the classic Chicago, a New Yorker with stewed onions, the classic naked that you dump everything from relish to sauerkraut on, and the day’s special Banshee Dog. I went for the latter. It included a beef hot dog over caramelized onion, flanked by sliced American cheese, topped with Thousand Island dressing pocked with chunks of dill pickle. I got all sentimental when I saw that Cheerwine, the cherry soda I drank on the Catawba River as a kid, was available.
While I swilled my Cheerwine, I watched a woman be repelled from the order window for not wearing a mask. She had left hers in the car. “Hey,” I said, “I’m double-vaccinated. You can wear mine.” She declined. Hey, it’s not like I have herpes, bitch.
I got up to fetch my dog. How do I love thee? Let me count the inches. The slim dog languidly draped itself across the roll, seriously jutting out at each end, grilled with a slight char. The ingredients were arranged with intention. I bit into one of the naked ends and got that vaunted snap from the natural lamb casing. The damn thing was delicious. The firm dog, made locally by Fripper’s, tasted like real beef and was nestled in all those creamy textures with one bit of crunch from the pickles. Damn. I wanted another but I confess I wasn’t up for paying about $20 for two dogs and a drink. But I was happy. I felt so ashamed that the young me had disparaged that hot dog long ago in Gib’town.
That very evening, I excitedly told my friend Sausage Boy about the experience. He suggested that I may not want to generalize my new happiness to every hot dog in town. For an example of irredeemable misery, he said, I would not be able to write about hot dogs in Atlanta without going to the Varsity. I gasped. “I can’t go everywhere,” I said.
He said: “The Varsity isn’t some unknown everywhere. It’s the mother of dogs, the nipple on which every Atlanta child is suckled all the way through adulthood until the grease coagulates in every artery and lands you in a coffin at a funeral celebration catered by the Varsity, the very people who killed you.”
I told him I’d think about it. I had, by the way, decided I would limit this adventure to hot dogs, not the more complicated sausages that I really did learn to love. Nor would I be eating the raw onions that overpower every other taste with which they are associated. I would, however, permit myself to sample some chili, despite my dislike of the “classic” stuff that tastes like it was poured from a can stored in a fallout shelter for 40 years.
That night I decided to try the hot dog at Grindhouse Killer Burgers. I’ve been addicted to their Apache burger ever since they first opened just over 10 years ago at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. It has since left that location, expanding to several others, including the gigantic one on Memorial Drive that I decided to visit.
It was a Sunday night and I didn’t expect a wait. It was, after all, the Lord’s Day during a plague he had visited upon the entire world in retaliation for America’s embrace of Donald Trump. The place actually was relatively packed, and the line to order moved so slowly that, exasperated, I decided to leave and go across the parking lot to load up on Sunday specials at Supremo Taco. As I approached the window, they literally slammed the shutters closed. “Sold out!” I returned to Grindhouse, and the people in front of me earlier admitted me back to my former place. I waited literally 20 minutes total with a crowd of fellow deep-sighers and eye-rollers.
“Y’all are really slow,” I rudely said to the guy taking orders. He explained they were short-handed. Whatever. I placed my order to go and went to wait another 15 minutes at a table. When the bag arrived, I was ravenous and I decided to eat the hot dog on the premises. Grindhouse buys its dogs from legendary Vienna Beef in Chicago. I’d ordered mine with slaw, apparently the Atlanta favorite everywhere. I reached in the bag, pulled it out, and it completely fell apart in my hands. The aluminum foil I presumed was wrapping it turned out to be a loose sheet set over the top of the dog, which was in the usual cardboard cradle. I fetched the dog and bun from the floor. I swept the slaw on the table onto it. I ate it. It was actually delicious, and at $4 (including 50 cents for the slaw), it was the cheapest dog I’d eat. (I should note that the light use of aluminum foil would make the dog’s transport less steamy than full wrapping, but my piggy hands did not anticipate that.)
I began to lose track of time. The hands on my clock turned into naked weenies. Eventually, a Saturday rolled around, and I felt fortified enough to attempt the unthinkable: The Varsity. I have lived in Atlanta most of my life and I have been to this enormous cliché only three times, as I recall. Once was in high school, on the way to the Georgia/Georgia Tech game. Second was with a visiting former college roommate who later cursed himself for trusting a tourist guide. Third was with my partner’s family. All were occasions of violent protest by my innards.
I was shocked when I arrived, under the influence of GI medication, to see how crowded the place was, although I quickly found a parking space. The long line inside moved more rapidly than the bowels of the diners speeding to the bathrooms. I was happy to see that literally everyone in view was wearing a mask, except for the family of seven Appalachian refugees directly behind me. The woman in front of me surreptitiously took their picture and posted it online. “Where your masks at?” I asked Daddy Billy. He glared and pulled one of his litter close to him like a shield. “If you can use a child as your shield, you can wear a mask, dumbass.” Okay, I didn’t really say that.
I ordered the iconic crap. A chili-cheese-slaw dog, onion rings, a fried peach pie, and a Frosted Orange. I was happy to notice that I did not hear any of the counter people shrieking the classic mantra, “Whattayahave?” My order instantaneously appeared, and I toted it to the “ESPN room” where I watched the Master’s Tournament and had flashbacks to childhood of watching golf all weekend with my father. I ate.
You know what? I hate myself. I ate those gigantic, greasy onion rings in nothing flat. A young guy at a nearby table noted my speed and whined that he didn’t receive any ketchup for his rings. I tossed him my envelopes.
“Why do you people put ketchup on everything fried?” I asked him.
“Us people do that to cover up the strongest taste of the grease, dude. Duh!”
Oh my god. It makes sense because everything there does have that singular note of aged, cured frying oil, supposedly never changed for decades.
The Frosted Orange tasted like a melted Creamsicle, a bit watery but good enough to ring the bells of an ice cream truck in my head. The peach pie was fucking delicious. The hot dog of course was the most revolting thing I’ve put in my mouth since I was potty-trained. The greasy, stinky, yellow-stained chili made with ground-up mystery meat was slimed with hidden slaw from hell and yellow cheese that wouldn’t melt. Somehow, the baloney-tasting hot dog itself and its bun literally broke as if it were crying to be put out of its misery. Two bites and I was done. Sorry, dog.
I called Sausage Boy on the way home. “It wasn’t that bad,” I said. “Only the hot dog was inedible.”
“But the hot dog is the point,” he said. “You failed.”
I was okay with failing. The Lord’s Day arrived again. I decided to head to Cabbagetown to visit Little’s Food Store, where I hadn’t been in years. I used to love to visit it and neighboring Carroll Street Café but that narrow street is a nightmare to negotiate. I actually embarrassed myself by immediately finding a large parking space directly in front of Little’s, which looks like a monument to so-called outsider art. As usual, the street was full of milling residents, hanging out in a few vacant lots turned into make-shift parks.
I went inside. My eyes teared-up seeing all the grunge, and I rushed toward the grill where I was abruptly told to step my ass back. Soon enough, I ordered a chili dog with a side of slaw and some fries. I loitered, looking around mindlessly. An employee ordered me outside, where she soon brought my food in a black Styrofoam box.
I sat on a bench outside the store and opened the box. My plan was to dump the sweet, spicy slaw on the chili dog, but that was difficult. I bit into the dog. I sighed. “I might as well face it,” I told the black cat that had suddenly appeared. “I just don’t like this super-ground version of chili that seems to be everyone’s favorite.” I dunked a limp fry in the chili and put it on the sidewalk for the presumably hungry stray. The cat sniffed and looked away. Fine. I put some slaw down. He struck it with his paw and backed away. Then he turned the corner and ran up the stairs to his apparent home. I wasn’t quite as unimpressed as the cat, who probably got sick of the food years ago, and the chili was definitely better than the Varsity’s, as was the hot dog itself, made by Fripper’s like those at Screamin’ Weenies. I ate it all. But I shuddered when I looked up and saw that Little’s flew a pirate’s flag. Between it and the black cat, I must have been bound for bad luck.
I called Sausage Boy again. “I’m becoming indiscriminate,” I said. “Everything is running together in my head. A black cat derided me for eating a chili dog today.” He proposed a solution: “Go try a vegan or vegetarian hot dog.”
Was this the bad luck the cat brought? Most of the hot dog places I investigated did offer such a thing, but how could something I have always hated be any more tolerable when imitated by healthy vegetables put to criminal use? But I decided to give it a go. I journeyed in the rain to the MET in West Atlanta. This gigantic warehouse development is home to La Bodega, a take-out pupuseria which also hosts the Window, a pop-up location for start-ups. One of those is Carrot Dog, operated by Kemi Bennings as part of her company, Food for Thought Vegan Café. She has an impressive resume of feeding celebrities and brands herself a “renaissance woman and creative badass.”
When I first saw Carrot Dog during an earlier visit to review Bodega, I was thoroughly repulsed. I don’t really like carrots, and at the time I still really loathed even the thought of a hot dog. I’m going to be hated for saying this, but I ended up telling myself that this ridiculous creation was my favorite hot dog. I don’t know if that’s fair. Calling a carrot a weenie may be too oxymoronic even for this dying world.
Bennings brines fat carrots in countless spices before cooking them. The carrots have just the right texture. They aren’t mushy like the ones your mother serves with pot roast, and they aren’t raw and unseasoned like people who claim they improve vision want them to be. These are nestled into slightly grilled buns and then dressed in a variety of ways. I chose a “Southern Santa Fe” specialty dog. The carrot is covered with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced avocado, smoked chipotle vegan mayo, chopped onions (which I declined), and, um, vegan bacon. Alright, I admit that the best thing about the tiny flap of vegan bacon was that it was completely inconspicuous with no noticeable taste or texture. I actually would have preferred more heat from the chipotle mayo, but this creation was a huge relief from everything I’d eaten. I think the effect was like eating dog food for weeks and then being served a fresh salad. Whatever, it was really good and only available Saturdays.
But I was still hungry.
Shamefully, on the way home, I decided to pay a second quick visit to Hot Dog Pete’s in Summerhill. I had tried takeout with a friend last summer and wasn’t impressed enough to eat more than a couple of bites of the two dogs we ordered. The menu includes sausages as well as an all-beef wiener and one made with beef and pork. They are all made by Fritz’s Meat & Superior Sausage in Kansas City. Pete’s shares ownership and patios with the oddly named Hero Doughnuts & Buns. More than doughnuts, Hero is known for its sandwiches made with house-baked brioche buns. The fried pork chop, the “Super Crunch” chicken, and the burger are all as addictive as the name of the house’s secret sauce — “crack sauce” — suggests.
To stay consistent, I ordered an all-beef hot dog with chili and slaw. The big difference here is slaw made with collards and a brioche bun from Alon’s that earns our highly coveted Best of the Buns Award. Everything about this dog was savory — even the chili, despite one flaw: weirdly dry beans. But I’ll gladly deal with that in exchange for not having to deal with the over-seasoned greasy stuff that most seem to prefer.
Time ticked on. I was growing tired of this adventure. I called Sausage Boy and told him I felt I needed to get to two more places — the Original Hot Dog Factory and Skip’s Chicago Dogs. “I need encouragement,” I told him. “Last night I dreamed I was back in Gibsonton and Lobster Boy murdered me.” The Sausage told me he had faith in me. I hung up the phone and got in my car and headed to the Original Hot Dog Factory on Piedmont Avenue. It’s technically on the Georgia State University campus.
About four hours later I was looking up from a bed and had no idea where I was. A doctor explained that I was in the Emory Midtown Hospital emergency room. I had been in a car wreck. I was completely uninjured, but I was in a state of total amnesia. I remembered nothing of the last hours. “What is wrong with me?” I asked.
“We’re not sure,” he said.
“It’s the hot dogs,” I said.
“What?”
“Never mind.”
He wanted me to stay overnight for examination the next morning by a neurologist. However, Kaiser, my insurance company, insisted that I be discharged (and it took over a week to get an appointment with them). The next morning, I Ubered to pick up my car at the city lot where it had been towed. I expected it to be damaged, but it was not. “Are you okay?” one of the employees out front asked me.
“I need a hot dog.”
I got in my car and drove directly to the Original Hot Dog Factory. I wasn’t sure if I had actually been there or not. I only knew that my accident, which involved another car, was in the immediate area. The restaurant, part of a chain, was empty except for me and two employees.
“Hey,” I said, “did y’all happen to see an accident near here yesterday?” They said they had not. “Well, what about me? Did I eat here?” They looked a bit perturbed. “Never mind,” I said. With the advice of one of the employees, I ordered the all-beef Hawaiian dog. I also forced myself to do the unthinkable and order the second corn dog of my life.
As I had come to realize by this point, there is no such thing as a hot dog with too much topping. The Hawaiian dog’s included a gigantic load of bacon, cheese, lightly grilled onions, and lots of grilled pineapple. In other words, it was the weenie version of the Hawaiian pizza which I usually detest, but it was the perfect mindless food for the amnesiac I had become. I figured I’d forget it by the time I got home. Obviously, I didn’t. I do congratulate myself for being able to eat the mess without resorting to a knife and fork. Hot dogs have made me a master of finger food.
I don’t know exactly why the concept of a corn dog disgusts me. The only one I remember ever eating was on a dare at Dakota Blue in Grant Park about five years ago, and I actually kind of liked it. My corn dog at The Hot Dog Factory looked like a bulbous fried sex toy. I nervously bit into it and was surprised by a rush of crispy, juicy sweetness. The all-beef dog retained its earthy flavor. Yeah, boy!
I decided I needed to try a dessert. This causes me a great deal of shame, and I blame it on my brain-rattling accident. I ate a fried Twinkie. I can say with absolute certainty that I have never eaten a Twinkie in any form, although I was tempted in the late ’70s when Dan White supposedly blamed eating too many Twinkies for his assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. This was labeled the “Twinkie Defense.” I have no viable defense of my decision to eat the deep-fried mess at the Hot Dog Factory, but it was spectacularly delicious, like a fist full of creamy melting cake oozing all kinds of white stuff inside sugar-coated crispy batter. It made the glazed donut at Krispy Kreme seem so pathetic.
I shared this discovery with Sausage Boy, explaining that I was starting to doubt my taste. He acknowledged my worry but urged me to be kinder to myself. I told him the Twinkie had awakened a memory of working at Six Flags Over Georgia when I was 16. How had I forgotten that I worked in a hot dog stand? How had I forgotten how much I hated the customers who acted like they were buying delicacies instead of shitloads of crap I barely cooked on a griddle? How had I forgotten that throwing a hot dog at a customer and shoving him with a broom handle had nearly gotten me fired? Obviously, the hot dog — foe of my digestion and weapon against redneck assholes — was intimately connected to the PTSD I never knew I suffered. “Be strong,” Sausage Boy told me. “You’re at the end.”
Onward! Wednesday arrived. That’s the day I resumed my years-long weekly lunch with two fully vaccinated friends. We drove to 40-year-old Skip’s Chicago Dogs in Avondale, probably the venue most hot dog lovers mentioned to me when I asked for recommendations. It looks like your usual fast-food place with mustard-and-ketchup-colored walls hung with sports stuff. Despite the name, sandwiches and burgers outnumber the hot dogs, which are made with Vienna beef.
In my little sampling of hot dogs over the years, the Chicago style has usually been the most appetizing. Skip’s dog, according to the menu, is typically topped with pickles, peppers, celery salt, mustard, relish, and tomatoes. Sorry, Skip, but my dog was a low-class version. I found none of the juicy-hot sport pickles that I love. The huge strip of dill pickle overwhelmed everything. The tomatoes were pink and flavorless. What am I missing, people?
By way of comparison to the Varsity, with which everyone positively compared it, I also ordered onion rings and a chili-slaw dog. The rings weren’t bad, but they were anemically skinny compared to the Varsity’s (and, granted, a ton less greasy). While no chili anywhere on the planet is as vile as the Varsity’s, Skip’s was totally meh, and the slaw tasted straight out of the Kroger deli bin. My friends did no better with their orders. I expected this to be the grand finale of my tour. But it was more like a return to vapidity. I felt my lust for hot dogs deflating, and, looking back, it was the dogs at Screamin’ Weenies and Carrot Dog that I hold dearest to my broken heart.
I called Sausage Boy and told him I was done. He warmly congratulated me. “Is Little’s black cat of bad fortune on you forever? Was it worth the traffic accident you don’t remember and might land you in jail?” he asked. “Was it worth the derepression of traumatic memories of the human oddities you outraged and the customer you assaulted with a hot dog at Six Flags? What impassions you now? What calls you?”
I had no answer. I had gone so high. Maybe … I called Sausage Boy repeatedly for guidance in the weeks that followed and never heard back from him. Finally, the doorbell rang one day, and there was a black cat on the front porch with a weenie between its teeth. It was time to start over. —CL—

string(8521) "An epic house party collapsed near the University of Georgia campus in Athens, Georgia — when about 500 people crowded into a modest two-story townhome.
Cops estimate more than 500 people were attending the house party, when the flooring of the townhome suddenly collapsed from far too many people standing on it. Twenty-five people sustained minor injuries ranging from scratches and bruises to a possible broken arm. No one was hospitalized, though.
Fire trucks had a rough time getting to the scene due to the “massive amounts of vehicles and people blocking the street,” according to a news release from the Athens Clark County Fire Department. “When our crews finally made it into the home, they found a two-story home over a high crawl space. The majority of the first floor had collapsed into the crawl space due to dozens of people overcrowding the space while having a party.”
The party hostess — described by her friends as a college senior — now has “virtually nothing left” after her townhome on Magnolia Bluff Drive was decimated by her 500-person bash. Code enforcement was called in to determine whether or not her townhome should be condemned.
“We are grateful that this unexpected event didn’t turn out any worse than it did,” Athens-Clarke County Fire Capt. Nate Moss told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “These folks should consider themselves fortunate.”
We say, give it two weeks and see about those COVID numbers.
FORNICATION FIGHT: Near Athens, Georgia, a 30-year-old woman was arguing with her boyfriend about their relationship, which she believes is based too much on sex. She left her boyfriend’s home and he followed her to the QuikTrip at the Oconee Connector. The boyfriend admitted that he reached into his girlfriend’s car at QuikTrip and grabbed her keys.
A sheriff’s deputy showed up to resolve their sex-based argument. The boyfriend claimed that his girlfriend had stolen money from him — though we don’t know if he’s talking about a nickel or $500 — no amount listed.
The boyfriend went to jail for swiping his gal’s keys. Two days later, he was released, and returned to his home in Watkinsville, Georgia.
Apparently, post-fight makeup sex was not on the agenda. Someone had entered his bathroom window and stolen his laptop. The boyfriend believes the burglar was his now ex-girlfriend.
CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER: About 110 motorcyclists and several truckers with the “Sons of Confederate Veterans” rode through Stone Mountain Park on a Saturday in April — even though they’d been denied a permit to gather there. The Georgia chapter of the group had petitioned to host a Confederate Memorial Day event in the park, as they’ve done for nearly two decades. This year, the Stone Mountain Memorial Association denied the group’s permit, and the association’s spokesperson explained why: “With the volatile nature of events in the immediate past and ongoing today, there is a clear and present danger to members of the [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[Sons of Confederate Veterans], potential counter-protesters, park employees, and guests.”
Here’s the truly fucked-up part: “The group had a police escort, though they were not Stone Mountain Police, and it’s unclear which jurisdiction police came from,” reports WSB-TV.
We say, those police officers should be punished. Promptly. It’s called: breaking the law.
NO LAUGHING MATTER: Comedian Erik Andre claims he was racially profiled at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. What’s confusing: Who did the alleged racial profiling? Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms firmly says: It wasn’t City of Atlanta Police officers.
Andre initially insisted on Twitter that two plainclothes Atlanta police detectives attempted to stop and search him at the T gates. “They stopped me on the way down to the bridge of the plane for a ‘random’ search and asked (if) they could search me for drugs. I told them no. Be careful.” Andre also tweeted: “At that moment, I was the only POC (person of color) on line. Keisha Bottoms, I know this isn’t the PD you want representing in your airports. #racism #racialprofiling # jimcrow #racistwarondrugs.”
The Atlanta Police Department says it was not involved in the Erik Andre interaction at Hartsfield, according to the AJC. The APD made a point of noting that they don’t randomly search travelers without evidence/indication of criminal activity.
Also, Hartsfield Airport is located in Clayton County — not the City of Atlanta. Multiple law enforcement agencies simultaneously work there.
Within hours, Erik Andre dropped his Twitter attack on Atlanta police — instead, redirecting his tweet-questions and allegations to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. The DEA also denied being involved in the Andre incident.
A short time later, the AJC reported: “Hours later, the officers involved were revealed to be part of the Clayton County Police Department’s drug task force .… Clayton County police offered a counter-narrative statement to Andre’s claims, saying the comedian was never detained, handcuffed, or searched. “Our preliminary findings have revealed that Mr. Andre was not racially profiled. Our inquiries have revealed that Mr. Andre was cordial, personable, and pleasant to speak with.”
The comedian Andre ripped them on Twitter, responding: “I did NOT volunteer to a search, and I did not volunteer to talk. You guys flashed your badge and detained me with no probable cause except for racism. This is JIM CROW RACISM. I DID NOT VOLUNTEER TO A SEARCH. YOU ARE HARASSING ME. THIS IS RACISM!”
FIBBING GEORGIA POLITICIAN, REDUX: Georgia’s flamboyant freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene decided the night the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict was announced … was a good night to tweet lies about the nation’s capitol city of Washington, DC.
She dropped this gem on Twitter on April 20: “DC is completely dead tonight. People stayed in and were scared to go out because of fear of riots. Police are everywhere and have riot gear. #BLM is the strongest terrorist threat in our country.” Worth noting: She tweeted this at 9:47 p.m., roughly five hours after the guilty verdict was announced.
Except Rep. Greene was flat wrong. As Washington Post columnist Philip Bump notes, “… this wasn’t true. It was, by all accounts, a normal evening that followed an obviously tense day. Had that jury in Minneapolis not found Chauvin guilty, there probably would have been protests, but those protests would by now have been a function of an outcry that spilled past the boundaries of BLM organizing.”
And oh yeah, there still IS increased police presence on Capitol Hill. “But that’s not due to BLM,” Bump says. “It’s because of the threat of right-wing violence like that manifested on Jan. 6 after Greene and others insisted falsely that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen.”
Worth noting: Spotted among the rioting mob on January 6 inside the nation’s capitol: A close buddy and political ally of Rep. Taylor-Greene, a dude named Anthony Aguero. He’s a conservative live-streamer whom Greene once described as “amazing.” They attended a pro-Trump rally together in November, after he lost the election.
IT’S A GAS, GAS, GAS: A 48-year-old woman rakes in $4,000+ a month by farting online. Seriously. The mother of two children has been “flatulence camming” for more than 20 years. Apparently, it pays wayyyyy more than her previous work as a travel agent. She’s been passing gas online since 1999. She even eats foods designed to increase her farting productivity, including Mexican entrees, avocados, and asparagus. “One of my favorites is coleslaw and baked beans mixed together,” she says.
The videos are recorded only when no one else is at her home in South Carolina. Her husband is not into farting at all, she says. Apparently, she has two types of clients: White-collar professionals who want her to say their names in videos as she passes gas. And guys in their 20s who just view her online videos.

string(8558) "An epic house party collapsed near the University of Georgia campus in Athens, Georgia — when about 500 people crowded into a modest two-story townhome.
Cops estimate more than 500 people were attending the house party, when the flooring of the townhome suddenly collapsed from far too many people standing on it. Twenty-five people sustained minor injuries ranging from scratches and bruises to a possible broken arm. No one was hospitalized, though.
Fire trucks had a rough time getting to the scene due to the “massive amounts of vehicles and people blocking the street,” according to a news release from the Athens Clark County Fire Department. “When our crews finally made it into the home, they found a two-story home over a high crawl space. The majority of the first floor had collapsed into the crawl space due to dozens of people overcrowding the space while having a party.”
The party hostess — described by her friends as a college senior — now has “virtually nothing left” after her townhome on Magnolia Bluff Drive was decimated by her 500-person bash. Code enforcement was called in to determine whether or not her townhome should be condemned.
“We are grateful that this unexpected event didn’t turn out any worse than it did,” Athens-Clarke County Fire Capt. Nate Moss told the ''Atlanta Journal-Constitution.'' “These folks should consider themselves fortunate.”
We say, give it two weeks and see about those COVID numbers.
__FORNICATION FIGHT:__ Near Athens, Georgia, a 30-year-old woman was arguing with her boyfriend about their relationship, which she believes is based too much on sex. She left her boyfriend’s home and he followed her to the QuikTrip at the Oconee Connector. The boyfriend admitted that he reached into his girlfriend’s car at QuikTrip and grabbed her keys.
A sheriff’s deputy showed up to resolve their sex-based argument. The boyfriend claimed that his girlfriend had stolen money from him — though we don’t know if he’s talking about a nickel or $500 — no amount listed.
The boyfriend went to jail for swiping his gal’s keys. Two days later, he was released, and returned to his home in Watkinsville, Georgia.
Apparently, post-fight makeup sex was not on the agenda. Someone had entered his bathroom window and stolen his laptop. The boyfriend believes the burglar was his now ex-girlfriend.
__CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER:__ About 110 motorcyclists and several truckers with the “Sons of Confederate Veterans” rode through Stone Mountain Park on a Saturday in April — even though they’d been denied a permit to gather there. The Georgia chapter of the group had petitioned to host a Confederate Memorial Day event in the park, as they’ve done for nearly two decades. This year, the Stone Mountain Memorial Association denied the group’s permit, and the association’s spokesperson explained why: “With the volatile nature of events in the immediate past and ongoing today, there is a clear and present danger to members of the [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[Sons of Confederate Veterans], potential counter-protesters, park employees, and guests.”
Here’s the truly fucked-up part: “The group had a police escort, though they were not Stone Mountain Police, and it’s unclear which jurisdiction police came from,” reports WSB-TV.
We say, those police officers should be punished. Promptly. It’s called: breaking the law.
__NO LAUGHING MATTER:__ Comedian Erik Andre claims he was racially profiled at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. What’s confusing: Who did the alleged racial profiling? Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms firmly says: It wasn’t City of Atlanta Police officers.
Andre initially insisted on Twitter that two plainclothes Atlanta police detectives attempted to stop and search him at the T gates. “They stopped me on the way down to the bridge of the plane for a ‘random’ search and asked (if) they could search me for drugs. I told them no. Be careful.” Andre also tweeted: “At that moment, I was the only POC (person of color) on line. Keisha Bottoms, I know this isn’t the PD you want representing in your airports. #racism #racialprofiling # jimcrow #racistwarondrugs.”
The Atlanta Police Department says it was not involved in the Erik Andre interaction at Hartsfield, according to the ''AJC''. The APD made a point of noting that they don’t randomly search travelers without evidence/indication of criminal activity.
Also, Hartsfield Airport is located in Clayton County — not the City of Atlanta. Multiple law enforcement agencies simultaneously work there.
Within hours, Erik Andre dropped his Twitter attack on Atlanta police — instead, redirecting his tweet-questions and allegations to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. The DEA also denied being involved in the Andre incident.
A short time later, the AJC reported: “Hours later, the officers involved were revealed to be part of the Clayton County Police Department’s drug task force .… Clayton County police offered a counter-narrative statement to Andre’s claims, saying the comedian was never detained, handcuffed, or searched. “Our preliminary findings have revealed that Mr. Andre was not racially profiled. Our inquiries have revealed that Mr. Andre was cordial, personable, and pleasant to speak with.”
The comedian Andre ripped them on Twitter, responding: “I did NOT volunteer to a search, and I did not volunteer to talk. You guys flashed your badge and detained me with no probable cause except for racism. This is JIM CROW RACISM. I DID NOT VOLUNTEER TO A SEARCH. YOU ARE HARASSING ME. THIS IS RACISM!”
__FIBBING GEORGIA POLITICIAN, REDUX:__ Georgia’s flamboyant freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene decided the night the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict was announced … was a good night to tweet lies about the nation’s capitol city of Washington, DC.
She dropped this gem on Twitter on April 20: “DC is completely dead tonight. People stayed in and were scared to go out because of fear of riots. Police are everywhere and have riot gear. #BLM is the strongest terrorist threat in our country.” Worth noting: She tweeted this at 9:47 p.m., roughly five hours after the guilty verdict was announced.
Except Rep. Greene was flat wrong. As ''Washington Post'' columnist Philip Bump notes, “… this wasn’t true. It was, by all accounts, a normal evening that followed an obviously tense day. Had that jury in Minneapolis not found Chauvin guilty, there probably would have been protests, but those protests would by now have been a function of an outcry that spilled past the boundaries of BLM organizing.”
And oh yeah, there still IS increased police presence on Capitol Hill. “But that’s not due to BLM,” Bump says. “It’s because of the threat of right-wing violence like that manifested on Jan. 6 after Greene and others insisted falsely that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen.”
Worth noting: Spotted among the rioting mob on January 6 inside the nation’s capitol: A close buddy and political ally of Rep. Taylor-Greene, a dude named Anthony Aguero. He’s a conservative live-streamer whom Greene once described as “amazing.” They attended a pro-Trump rally together in November, after he lost the election.
__IT’S A GAS, GAS, GAS:__ A 48-year-old woman rakes in $4,000+ a month by farting online. Seriously. The mother of two children has been “flatulence camming” for more than 20 years. Apparently, it pays wayyyyy more than her previous work as a travel agent. She’s been passing gas online since 1999. She even eats foods designed to increase her farting productivity, including Mexican entrees, avocados, and asparagus. “One of my favorites is coleslaw and baked beans mixed together,” she says.
The videos are recorded only when no one else is at her home in South Carolina. Her husband is not into farting at all, she says. Apparently, she has two types of clients: White-collar professionals who want her to say their names in videos as she passes gas. And guys in their 20s who just view her online videos. All for a handsome price, of course.
Is there anything illegal about her endeavor? Nope. Any crime committed or police involved? Again, no and no. We just thought it so bizarre it’s worth sharing in the Blotter.

string(12149) "High Museum of Art. Award-winning Georgia native David Driskell (1931-2020) is at the center of Icons of Nature and History, co-organized by Atlanta’s High Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art. As the first posthumous survey of his career, the exhibit reflects on Driskell’s seven decades of artistry with works from museums, private collections, and the artist’s estate. As an artist, he created paintings, collages, and prints frequently read in relationship to the Black Arts movement and Afrocentrism. Driskell made significant contributions to African American art as a field of study. He taught and mentored many students through his years at schools such as the University of Maryland, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Culture, and his alma mater, Howard University. During his time as a curator, museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Atlanta’s High Museum mounted Driskell’s exhibitions. He was also an art advisor to celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey. Catch this traveling collection before it leaves for Portland in May! Through May 9. Our Good Earth: Rural Life and American Art. When imagining the birth of America, one can’t help but picture a rural life and honest farmers. Even now, as America is much more than farmland, artists are still drawn to images of the countryside. Through prints, drawings, and photographs, the exhibition explores the human connection with nature. Artists include Winslow Homer, Marion Greenwood, Lewis Hine, Andrew Wyeth, and more. The High aims to highlight its collection’s diversity in this compelling pastoral. Through August 1. Timed tickets required, see here for safety guidelines, times, and pricing. High Museum of Art, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E. 404-733-4400. www.high.org
Atlanta Contemporary. At this year’s Atlanta Biennial, curator Dr. Jordan Amirkhani brings together 30 contemporary artists to present a bold snapshot of the Southeast in 2021 with Of Care and Destruction. Through painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, video, and photography, the exhibition confronts social issues caused by issues like COVID-19, racism, and inequality. It discusses the essential role that art plays at this moment in time. Virtual Remains takes you out of the traditional white cube for its portion of the Atlanta Biennial. Like Of Care and Destruction__, it addresses current social issues like inequality and racism. In one installation, Danielle Deadwyler incorporates performance, video, and sculpture to tell the story of the Black laborers who constructed the Atlanta railway corridor. Other installations include experimental and documentary films, collages of fabricated archives, and more. Through August 1. Free. Timed tickets required, see here for visitor and safety guidelines. Noon-5 p.m. Tues., Wed., Fri., Sat.; noon-8 p.m. Thurs.; noon-4 p.m. Sun. Atlanta Contemporary Museum, 535 Means St. N.W. 404-688-1970. www.atlantacontemporary.org
Jackson Fine Art.. Jackson Fine Art is ringing in spring with two powerful exhibitions of new work from two innovative, female photographers, Cig Harvey’s Eat Flowers and Angela West’s Persephone. Both series demonstrate spring’s symbol of rebirth, depicting images of lively blossoms, soft scenery, and beautiful colors.

string(13102) "__High Museum of Art__. Award-winning Georgia native David Driskell (1931-2020) is at the center of __Icons of Nature and History__, co-organized by Atlanta’s High Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art. As the first posthumous survey of his career, the exhibit reflects on Driskell’s seven decades of artistry with works from museums, private collections, and the artist’s estate. As an artist, he created paintings, collages, and prints frequently read in relationship to the Black Arts movement and Afrocentrism. Driskell made significant contributions to African American art as a field of study. He taught and mentored many students through his years at schools such as the University of Maryland, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Culture, and his alma mater, Howard University. During his time as a curator, museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Atlanta’s High Museum mounted Driskell’s exhibitions. He was also an art advisor to celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey. Catch this traveling collection before it leaves for Portland in May! Through May 9. __Our Good Earth: Rural Life and American Art__. When imagining the birth of America, one can’t help but picture a rural life and honest farmers. Even now, as America is much more than farmland, artists are still drawn to images of the countryside.

The High aims to highlight its collection’s diversity in this compelling pastoral. Through August 1.

As an artist, he created paintings, collages, and prints frequently read in relationship to the Black Arts movement and Afrocentrism. Driskell made significant contributions to African American art as a field of study. He taught and mentored many students through his years at schools such as the University of Maryland, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Culture, and his alma mater, Howard University. During his time as a curator, museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Atlanta’s High Museum mounted Driskell’s exhibitions. He was also an art advisor to celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey. Catch this traveling collection before it leaves for Portland in May! Through May 9. Our Good Earth: Rural Life and American Art. When imagining the birth of America, one can’t help but picture a rural life and honest farmers. Even now, as America is much more than farmland, artists are still drawn to images of the countryside. Through prints, drawings, and photographs, the exhibition explores the human connection with nature. Artists include Winslow Homer, Marion Greenwood, Lewis Hine, Andrew Wyeth, and more. The High aims to highlight its collection’s diversity in this compelling pastoral. Through August 1. Timed tickets required, see here for safety guidelines, times, and pricing.

When Hank Huckaby died last week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a tribute on the former chancellor of the University System of Georgia (USG).
But there is another story that reveals Huckaby’s character that was not included in that testimonial. Though many of these facts were learned out of order, the following timeline (which leaves out some sordid details for the sake of simplification) is instructive:
After the economic crash of 2008, most USG schools such as Georgia State University and Fort Valley State were operating dangerously in the red, according to USG records. In 2009, on the other hand, Georgia Perimeter College (GPC), under the leadership of President Anthony Tricoli since 2006, enjoyed a $20.9 million surplus.
In 2010, according to multiple witnesses, GPC Vice President for Finance Ron Carruth began secretly making multimillion-dollar transfers out of GPC’s reserves. This kept up till January 2012, when midlevel manager Keith Chapman blew Carruth’s cover by sending an email to the assistant VP of finance Sheletha Champion asking why almost $10 million were “gone with no explanation” from GPC’s reserve fund.
Meanwhile, Ron Carruth was reporting contradictory information to President Tricoli and the rest of the GPC administration that GPC was still in great fiscal shape with a surplus as high as $37 million.
That glaring discrepancy created quite a flurry of emails between Champion, Carruth, and USG officials about an imminent financial train wreck at GPC, the false reporting of a continuing surplus, and the financial requirements for the USG re-accreditation process underway at the time.
In March of 2012, Champion sent a report to USG vice chancellors Ben Riden, John Brown, and John Fuchko detailing a $12.8 million deficit, even as Champion was preparing the financial reports for reaccreditation — on which the USG's continuing eligibility for federal funding depended.
It is undisputed that this deficit information was kept from Tricoli and the rest of the GPC administration. In fact, Carruth continued to falsely report surpluses.
In March of 2012, the same month as Champion’s deficit report to the USG, Huckaby conducted a USG budget hearing for GPC with Tricoli, Carruth, and Champion. No one mentioned anything about a deficit or millions missing from GPC reserves.
Other state records show that current USG Chancellor, then-Vice Chancellor Steve Wrigley knew about Champion’s deficit report, but also withheld that information from the rest of the GPC administration.
This behind-the-scenes maneuvering continued until April 25, when Carruth finally (for reasons that have never been investigated) admitted to Tricoli that Carruth’s sanguine financial reports were false. Tricoli called USG Chancellor Huckaby and asked for audit assistance from the USG. Auditors arrived at GPC that same afternoon.
The next day, on April 26, Riden and Fuchko announced that USG auditors had discovered a massive deficit at GPC, supposedly by going through the books overnight. In fact, the information they reported exactly tracked the information already provided to the USG by Champion back in March, over a month earlier.
No sooner was this sudden deficit announced in the April 26 meeting between USG and GPC officials than Huckaby called Tricoli out of the meeting and ordered him to the USG central office in downtown Atlanta. As soon as Tricoli arrived at Huckaby’s office, Huckaby demanded Tricoli’s immediate resignation.
Tricoli refused, arguing that Carruth had just reported a surplus to him and that there must be financial fraud going on. Falsifying a state agency financial report is a felony under OCGA § 16-10-20.
On May 1, state records show that Wrigley falsely reported to the Board of Regents that USG officials first learned of the GPC deficit on April 26. Huckaby and Wrigley exchanged emails about replacing Tricoli, and the need to get his resignation before the Board of Regents meeting on May 8.
As Tricoli continued to refuse to resign, Huckaby tried a new tack. He offered Tricoli an alternate position in the USG central office if Tricoli would resign from GPC quietly. State records that the USG and Attorney General Chris Carr have refused to produce in response to Open Records requests show that, without Tricoli’s knowledge, the GPC interim president that preceded Tricoli, Rob Watts, had been selected to return in that position. Efforts were already underway to obtain a waiver for Watts to serve because he did not meet the qualifications for the office.
As the May 8 Board of Regents meeting approached, the calls to obtain Tricoli’s resignation became more urgent.
On the morning of May 7, USG Vice Chancellor Houston Davis called GPC Dean of Academic Affairs Alan Jackson and informed Jackson that he was now acting president of GPC. Tricoli had already been officially replaced and he did not even know it. Yet Huckaby was still trying to procure Tricoli’s resignation.
Later that same day, May 7, Huckaby took matters into his own hands and released a press statement reporting that Tricoli had stepped down at GPC and been transferred to the alternate job in the USG central office Huckaby had promised.
Tricoli read about this when it was reported in the AJC. Not knowing exactly what ruse was in play, Tricoli wrote to Huckaby the afternoon of May 7 and accepted the new position in writing, but disputed that he had stepped down from GPC.
The next day, on May 8, when the Board of Regents was performing its annual presidential reappointment process (a month later than required by Regents’ policy at the time), unbeknownst to Tricoli, Rob Watts name was submitted to the Board for reappointment instead of Tricoli’s. Moreover, Tricoli still did not know that he had already been officially relieved of his duties as GPC president the day before the Board of Regents meeting.
State records show that some Board of Regents members knew that Tricoli’s name was not presented because Huckaby had already fired him. They offered Huckaby condolences for the tough decision he had to make to fire Tricoli — who had run the only USG institution that operated in the black after 2008 and had just received a national award from the American Association of University Professors.
Tricoli remained ignorant of his fate till May 10, when Huckaby called him in and handed him a termination letter with the explanation that the Board of Regents had determined not to reappoint him. That, of course, was false, as Tricoli had already been fired and replaced before the May 8 Board meeting.
On the same day Huckaby informed Tricoli he was history, May 10, Huckaby also issued a letter announcing that the USG was going to conduct an investigation of how and when the GPC finances went wrong. Then-Attorney General Sam Olens specifically signed off on allowing the USG to review its own conduct. That alternate position dangled to trick Tricoli into resigning after he had already been fired, already announced as a fait accompli in the AJC, simply dematerialized.
The next day, May 11, the USG appeared to solve the puzzle by passing information to the AJC that the AJC dutifully reported with a headline that Tricoli had “dipped into the GPC reserves.” The AJC also reported that the USG had just discovered, since April 25, the same financial information Sheletha Champion reported to the USG back in March.
In fact, when the USG finally released the results of the self-reviewinitiated on May 10 — in the USG’s September 2012Special Review Report,” the USG findings again exactly tracked Champion’s deficit report from back in March, and the USG said it could not determine where the money went. Among its many misrepresentations, the Special Report authored by USG chief auditor John Fuchko also repeated that no one at the USG had any prior knowledge of the GPC financial crisis.
Though the Special Report admitted that Carruth and Champion provided grossly false financial information to Tricoli, the report nonetheless concluded that Tricoli was responsible — though it did confirm that Tricoli did not know about the reserve depletions and that the AJC articles about Tricoli personally dipping into the reserves were false.
Huckaby and Fuchko later did a similar dance to remove Dan Papp as president of Kennesaw State University, to make way for the USG to appoint Olens — the attorney general who let the USG investigate itself — to the position. Papp was also pressured to resign, and Fuchko also released an after-the-fact report misrepresenting Papp as responsible for the USG’s own financial improprieties (a tale that will have to wait for another column). The AJC also dutifully reported the USG’s misrepresentations about Papp.
Neither Papp nor Tricoli were ever able to get another job after the number Huckaby did on them with the resignation ruse. I sent the AJC evidence of Huckaby and other USG officials knowingly misleading the daily paper. No response from the AJC.
It is an important part of Huckaby’s legacy that he engaged in two different extortion schemes.
Why was it so important to coerce or cajole these presidents into resigning, to the point of committing a racketeering felony? It was all to protect those responsible for the financial fraud in the USG. By forcing Papp to resign and pretending Tricoli resigned, the attorney general and the USG evaded a hearing required by Regents’ policy if the USG presidents were fired. The resignation ruse allowed the USG to get both men out of the way without ever bringing any formal accusations against them — a formal statement of charges is also required under Regents' policy if they were fired. So the USG was able to smear them in the press by false insinuation without ever actually accusing them of anything, or having to hold a hearing that could have revealed the truth the AJC was not reporting.
In Tricoli’s case, the resignation ruse was used as a flimsy pretext to deny the waiver of sovereign immunity on a written contract with the state. When Tricoli sued Huckaby, Wrigley, Fuchko, Carruth, and Champion, DeKalb Superior Court Judge Daniel Coursey ruled that these state officials regained their sovereign immunity protection when they tricked Tricoli into resigning from his contract.
No court has ever ruled on the evidence, later discovered, that Tricoli had already been fired and replaced before Huckaby’s resignation ruse ever went into operation.
In other words, the resignation ruse has prevented Tricoli from suing Huckaby and other USG officials who scapegoated him, as well as attorney generals Sam Olens and Chris Carr, who obstructed criminal investigation of the financial fraud for which Papp and Tricoli were falsely blamed.
In 2015, Georgia Trend named Huckaby Georgian of the Year. The AJC offered tribute to Huckaby on his death, and it is true he can never be indicted now for any crimes he may have committed.
When Anthony Tricoli died earlier this year the AJC — that destroyed Tricoli’s life and career by printing Huckaby’s lies — never mentioned Tricoli’s passing.

State records show that some Board of Regents members knew that Tricoli’s name was not presented because Huckaby had already fired him. They offered Huckaby condolences for the tough decision he had to make to fire Tricoli — who had run the only USG institution that operated in the black after 2008 and had just received a national award from the American Association of University Professors.
Tricoli remained ignorant of his fate till May 10, when Huckaby called him in and handed him a termination letter with the explanation that the Board of Regents had determined not to reappoint him. That, of course, was false, as Tricoli had already been fired and replaced before the May 8 Board meeting.
On the same day Huckaby informed Tricoli he was history, May 10, Huckaby also issued a letter announcing that the USG was going to conduct an investigation of how and when the GPC finances went wrong. Then-Attorney General Sam Olens specifically signed off on allowing the USG to review its own conduct. That alternate position dangled to trick Tricoli into resigning after he had already been fired, already announced as a fait accompli in the ''AJC'', simply dematerialized.
The next day, May 11, the USG appeared to solve the puzzle by passing information to the ''AJC'' that the AJC dutifully reported with a headline that Tricoli had “[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FT6QM5DpBYGy_86mr2Xwzl-l4qVHD5xW/view|dipped] into the GPC reserves.” The AJC also reported that the USG had just discovered, since April 25, the same financial information Sheletha Champion reported to the USG back in March.
In fact, when the USG finally released the results of the [https://creativeloafing.com/content-478114-outlandish-conspiracy-theories-isn-t-the-usg-self-review|self-review]initiated on May 10 — in the USG’s September 2012[https://drive.google.com/file/d/16sfe2IG-zWDlj7ldMK6NAJbFUCWgnNpI/view?usp=sharing|Special Review Report],” the USG findings again exactly tracked Champion’s deficit report from back in March, and the USG said it could not determine where the money went. Among its many [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pGPN5Jyd40xCzR6u2yZ5UT8Id1lHF0oC/view?usp=sharing|misrepresentations], the Special Report authored by USG chief auditor John Fuchko also repeated that no one at the USG had any prior knowledge of the GPC financial crisis.
Though the Special Report admitted that Carruth and Champion provided grossly false financial information to Tricoli, the report nonetheless concluded that Tricoli was responsible — though it did confirm that Tricoli did not know about the reserve depletions and that the AJC articles about Tricoli personally dipping into the reserves were false.
Huckaby and Fuchko later did a similar dance to remove Dan Papp as president of Kennesaw State University, to make way for the USG to appoint Olens — the attorney general who let the USG investigate itself — to the position. Papp was also pressured to resign, and Fuchko also released an after-the-fact report misrepresenting Papp as responsible for the USG’s own financial improprieties (a tale that will have to wait for another column). The AJC also dutifully reported the USG’s misrepresentations about Papp.
Neither Papp nor Tricoli were ever able to get another job after the number Huckaby did on them with the resignation ruse. I sent the ''AJC'' evidence of Huckaby and other USG officials knowingly [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1brC2zaVGmp0H7SCOpi6-XHfvzH-2EJKz/view?usp=sharing|misleading] the daily paper. No response from the ''AJC''.
It is an important part of Huckaby’s legacy that he engaged in two different extortion schemes.
Why was it so important to coerce or cajole these presidents into resigning, to the point of committing a racketeering felony? It was all to protect those responsible for the financial fraud in the USG. By forcing Papp to resign and pretending Tricoli resigned, the attorney general and the USG evaded a hearing required by Regents’ policy if the USG presidents were fired. The resignation ruse allowed the USG to get both men out of the way without ever bringing any formal accusations against them — a formal statement of charges is also required under Regents' policy if they were fired. So the USG was able to smear them in the press by false insinuation without ever actually accusing them of anything, or having to hold a hearing that could have revealed the truth the AJC was not reporting.
In Tricoli’s case, the resignation ruse was used as a flimsy pretext to deny the [https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-50/chapter-21/article-1/50-21-1/|waiver of sovereign immunity on a written contract] with the state.

No court has ever ruled on the evidence, later discovered, that Tricoli had already been fired and replaced before Huckaby’s resignation ruse ever went into operation.
In other words, the resignation ruse has [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ttn5vs0sIyN7-6aUHuLwtgEFCmaJIisx/view?usp=sharing|prevented Tricoli from suing] Huckaby and other USG officials who scapegoated him, as well as attorney generals Sam Olens and Chris Carr, who obstructed criminal investigation of the financial fraud for which Papp and Tricoli were falsely blamed.
In 2015, ''Georgia Trend'' named Huckaby Georgian of the Year. The ''AJC'' offered tribute to Huckaby on his death, and it is true he can never be indicted now for any crimes he may have committed.
When [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHPnfbPMVac&feature=youtu.be|Anthony Tricoli] died earlier this year the ''AJC'' — that destroyed Tricoli’s life and career by printing Huckaby’s lies — never mentioned Tricoli’s passing.

When Hank Huckaby died last week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a tribute on the former chancellor of the University System of Georgia (USG).
But there is another story that reveals Huckaby’s character that was not included in that testimonial. Though many of these facts were learned out of order, the following timeline (which leaves out some sordid details for the sake of simplification) is instructive:
After the economic crash of 2008, most USG schools such as Georgia State University and Fort Valley State were operating dangerously in the red, according to USG records. In 2009, on the other hand, Georgia Perimeter College (GPC), under the leadership of President Anthony Tricoli since 2006, enjoyed a $20.9 million surplus.
In 2010, according to multiple witnesses, GPC Vice President for Finance Ron Carruth began secretly making multimillion-dollar transfers out of GPC’s reserves. This kept up till January 2012, when midlevel manager Keith Chapman blew Carruth’s cover by sending an email to the assistant VP of finance Sheletha Champion asking why almost $10 million were “gone with no explanation” from GPC’s reserve fund.
Meanwhile, Ron Carruth was reporting contradictory information to President Tricoli and the rest of the GPC administration that GPC was still in great fiscal shape with a surplus as high as $37 million.
That glaring discrepancy created quite a flurry of emails between Champion, Carruth, and USG officials about an imminent financial train wreck at GPC, the false reporting of a continuing surplus, and the financial requirements for the USG re-accreditation process underway at the time.
In March of 2012, Champion sent a report to USG vice chancellors Ben Riden, John Brown, and John Fuchko detailing a $12.8 million deficit, even as Champion was preparing the financial reports for reaccreditation — on which the USG's continuing eligibility for federal funding depended.
It is undisputed that this deficit information was kept from Tricoli and the rest of the GPC administration. In fact, Carruth continued to falsely report surpluses.
In March of 2012, the same month as Champion’s deficit report to the USG, Huckaby conducted a USG budget hearing for GPC with Tricoli, Carruth, and Champion. No one mentioned anything about a deficit or millions missing from GPC reserves.
Other state records show that current USG Chancellor, then-Vice Chancellor Steve Wrigley knew about Champion’s deficit report, but also withheld that information from the rest of the GPC administration.
This behind-the-scenes maneuvering continued until April 25, when Carruth finally (for reasons that have never been investigated) admitted to Tricoli that Carruth’s sanguine financial reports were false. Tricoli called USG Chancellor Huckaby and asked for audit assistance from the USG. Auditors arrived at GPC that same afternoon.
The next day, on April 26, Riden and Fuchko announced that USG auditors had discovered a massive deficit at GPC, supposedly by going through the books overnight. In fact, the information they reported exactly tracked the information already provided to the USG by Champion back in March, over a month earlier.
No sooner was this sudden deficit announced in the April 26 meeting between USG and GPC officials than Huckaby called Tricoli out of the meeting and ordered him to the USG central office in downtown Atlanta. As soon as Tricoli arrived at Huckaby’s office, Huckaby demanded Tricoli’s immediate resignation.
Tricoli refused, arguing that Carruth had just reported a surplus to him and that there must be financial fraud going on. Falsifying a state agency financial report is a felony under OCGA § 16-10-20.
On May 1, state records show that Wrigley falsely reported to the Board of Regents that USG officials first learned of the GPC deficit on April 26. Huckaby and Wrigley exchanged emails about replacing Tricoli, and the need to get his resignation before the Board of Regents meeting on May 8.
As Tricoli continued to refuse to resign, Huckaby tried a new tack. He offered Tricoli an alternate position in the USG central office if Tricoli would resign from GPC quietly. State records that the USG and Attorney General Chris Carr have refused to produce in response to Open Records requests show that, without Tricoli’s knowledge, the GPC interim president that preceded Tricoli, Rob Watts, had been selected to return in that position. Efforts were already underway to obtain a waiver for Watts to serve because he did not meet the qualifications for the office.
As the May 8 Board of Regents meeting approached, the calls to obtain Tricoli’s resignation became more urgent.
On the morning of May 7, USG Vice Chancellor Houston Davis called GPC Dean of Academic Affairs Alan Jackson and informed Jackson that he was now acting president of GPC. Tricoli had already been officially replaced and he did not even know it. Yet Huckaby was still trying to procure Tricoli’s resignation.
Later that same day, May 7, Huckaby took matters into his own hands and released a press statement reporting that Tricoli had stepped down at GPC and been transferred to the alternate job in the USG central office Huckaby had promised.
Tricoli read about this when it was reported in the AJC. Not knowing exactly what ruse was in play, Tricoli wrote to Huckaby the afternoon of May 7 and accepted the new position in writing, but disputed that he had stepped down from GPC.
The next day, on May 8, when the Board of Regents was performing its annual presidential reappointment process (a month later than required by Regents’ policy at the time), unbeknownst to Tricoli, Rob Watts name was submitted to the Board for reappointment instead of Tricoli’s. Moreover, Tricoli still did not know that he had already been officially relieved of his duties as GPC president the day before the Board of Regents meeting.
State records show that some Board of Regents members knew that Tricoli’s name was not presented because Huckaby had already fired him. They offered Huckaby condolences for the tough decision he had to make to fire Tricoli — who had run the only USG institution that operated in the black after 2008 and had just received a national award from the American Association of University Professors.
Tricoli remained ignorant of his fate till May 10, when Huckaby called him in and handed him a termination letter with the explanation that the Board of Regents had determined not to reappoint him. That, of course, was false, as Tricoli had already been fired and replaced before the May 8 Board meeting.
On the same day Huckaby informed Tricoli he was history, May 10, Huckaby also issued a letter announcing that the USG was going to conduct an investigation of how and when the GPC finances went wrong. Then-Attorney General Sam Olens specifically signed off on allowing the USG to review its own conduct. That alternate position dangled to trick Tricoli into resigning after he had already been fired, already announced as a fait accompli in the AJC, simply dematerialized.
The next day, May 11, the USG appeared to solve the puzzle by passing information to the AJC that the AJC dutifully reported with a headline that Tricoli had “dipped into the GPC reserves.” The AJC also reported that the USG had just discovered, since April 25, the same financial information Sheletha Champion reported to the USG back in March.
In fact, when the USG finally released the results of the self-reviewinitiated on May 10 — in the USG’s September 2012Special Review Report,” the USG findings again exactly tracked Champion’s deficit report from back in March, and the USG said it could not determine where the money went. Among its many misrepresentations, the Special Report authored by USG chief auditor John Fuchko also repeated that no one at the USG had any prior knowledge of the GPC financial crisis.
Though the Special Report admitted that Carruth and Champion provided grossly false financial information to Tricoli, the report nonetheless concluded that Tricoli was responsible — though it did confirm that Tricoli did not know about the reserve depletions and that the AJC articles about Tricoli personally dipping into the reserves were false.

Papp was also pressured to resign, and Fuchko also released an after-the-fact report misrepresenting Papp as responsible for the USG’s own financial improprieties (a tale that will have to wait for another column). The AJC also dutifully reported the USG’s misrepresentations about Papp.
Neither Papp nor Tricoli were ever able to get another job after the number Huckaby did on them with the resignation ruse. I sent the AJC evidence of Huckaby and other USG officials knowingly misleading the daily paper. No response from the AJC.
It is an important part of Huckaby’s legacy that he engaged in two different extortion schemes.
Why was it so important to coerce or cajole these presidents into resigning, to the point of committing a racketeering felony? It was all to protect those responsible for the financial fraud in the USG.

So the USG was able to smear them in the press by false insinuation without ever actually accusing them of anything, or having to hold a hearing that could have revealed the truth the AJC was not reporting.
In Tricoli’s case, the resignation ruse was used as a flimsy pretext to deny the waiver of sovereign immunity on a written contract with the state. When Tricoli sued Huckaby, Wrigley, Fuchko, Carruth, and Champion, DeKalb Superior Court Judge Daniel Coursey ruled that these state officials regained their sovereign immunity protection when they tricked Tricoli into resigning from his contract.
No court has ever ruled on the evidence, later discovered, that Tricoli had already been fired and replaced before Huckaby’s resignation ruse ever went into operation.
In other words, the resignation ruse has prevented Tricoli from suing Huckaby and other USG officials who scapegoated him, as well as attorney generals Sam Olens and Chris Carr, who obstructed criminal investigation of the financial fraud for which Papp and Tricoli were falsely blamed.
In 2015, Georgia Trend named Huckaby Georgian of the Year. The AJC offered tribute to Huckaby on his death, and it is true he can never be indicted now for any crimes he may have committed.
When Anthony Tricoli died earlier this year the AJC — that destroyed Tricoli’s life and career by printing Huckaby’s lies — never mentioned Tricoli’s passing.

string(7126) "In 1941, an anonymous writer who dubbed himself Atheneus penned an epistle to the Richmond Times-Dispatch to decry Georgia Governor Gene Talmadge’s firing of a UGA dean for advocating “communism and racial equality” — in what came to be known as the Cocking Affair. When the University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents balked at Talmadge’s demand that Cocking be drummed out of the university, Talmadge replaced three board members with loyalists to rig the vote.
Even 13 years before Brown v. Board of Education mandated school integration, Talmadge’s bald racist maneuvers sparked national outrage, and resulted in the university system losing its accreditation. The Regents responded by enacting Board of Regents Policy 6.4, which states that the board is “unalterably opposed to political interference” in Georgia’s system of higher education.
Eighty years after Governor Talmadge’s coup against the regents, Athenian Brian Kemp tried to follow in Talmadge’s footsteps to make the board appoint former Governor Sonny Perdue to the position of USG chancellor. After all, Perdue is out of a job since his gig as Trump’s secretary of agriculture came to a riotous end, and Kemp owes his own political rise to Perdue — since Perdue appointed Kemp to the secretary of state position from which Kemp oversaw his own election to the governor’s office.
Here are 10 reasons Kemp may want to re-think this political move:
1. First, it must be asked, sui generis, if it is really a good idea to subvert the interests of educating Georgia’s future leaders to such a rank political favor. Is it worth the risk that a first-class system of higher education will not be the result?
2. In a flashback to 1941, the specter has already been raised whether the USG’s accreditation will find itself in jeopardy again. According to Belle Wheelan, head of the SACS regional accreditation agency, any suggestion of undue political pressure to appoint Sonny Perdue could endanger the accreditation on which continued federal funding of the USG depends. That is a strong statement, since SACS covered for the USG when it fudged its financial records to keep its accreditation intact after the crash of 2008.
3. As Community Papers publisher and former Chair of the Board of Regents Dink Nesmith once pointed out, former Governor Nathan Deal endangered the university system by strong-arming the appointment of Hank Huckaby as USG chancellor in 2011. Huckaby was chancellor when the USG was accused of falsifying its financials and forcing out USG presidents such as Anthony Tricoli at Georgia Perimeter College and Dan Papp at Kennesaw State to sweep the unsightly dirt under the rug.
4. The USG badly needs new blood. Most university systems remain vital by bringing in top-flight talent from the proving grounds of other major universities. But when was the last time the USG brought in a gunslinger from Ohio State or UCLA? To keep the system under political control, Huckaby was promoted from UGA and the Georgia legislature. UGA promoted a middling administrator Jere Morehead — like Huckaby, also hand-picked by Deal, to Nesmith’s chagrin — to its last presidential vacancy. Current USG Chancellor Steve Wrigley also wormed his way up through the ranks from UGA. A UGA administrator was also transferred within the system to take over after Sam Olens’ reign of disaster as president of Kennesaw State University (KSU). Perdue would just be another hire from within the Georgia good old boy system — the one the Republicans were supposed to replace when Perdue took over as governor in 2002.
5. The last time the regents rigged an insider appointment, it did not turn out so well. When the USG appointed former Attorney General Sam Olens, as the sole candidate considered, despite vocal opposition at KSU and Olens’ lack of any educational qualifications, Olens did not last a year at KSU. Perdue’s resume is more like Olens’ than the candidates a national search would turn up.
6. Olens labored under a cloud of extortion and bribery allegations at KSU that did nothing for the USG’s reputation. Even worse, three days after former Secretary of State Brian Kemp and KSU President Olens were served with a lawsuit over vulnerabilities in the Center for Election Systems on the KSU campus (for some unknown reason, Georgia elections were run by the USG — an entity clearly not impervious to partisan political pressures — instead of under the province of the secretary of state, till recently) the GCES servers were wiped clean, dragging USG deeper into political mire. Questions of destroying possible evidence of Russian hacking in the 2016 presidential election and manipulation in the 2017 special election to replace Tom Price, Perdue’s colleague in Trump’s Southern Strategy-heavy cabinet, still loom over the USG, even as the Fulton County DA is investigating Trump for election interference.=
7. Perdue has his own public image problems. As governor, he stopped the purchase of 20,000 acres for a nature preserve in Oaky Woods while secretly buying adjacent land which doubled in value when the Oaky Woods parcel was sold to real estate developers instead of the Nature Conservancy. Next, Perdue served as Trump’s secretary of agriculture (after receiving $950,000 in contributions for agricultural business interests) right to the end — in insurrection and calls to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to change the election results. Perdue quickly acclimated to the swamp, however, appointing lobbyists for agribusiness and the pesticide industry to key Department of Agriculture posts.
8. Does USG need such an appearance of self-serving corruption? Even if a Perdue appointment does not cause another accreditation failure, a negative public image tarnishes the hard-earned degrees of Georgia students. After all, who can forget the furor caused by Governor Perdue appearing to sign into law a $100,000 tax break for himself?
9. What about the temptation for real corruption for chancellor with his fingers in the USG’s $15 billion budget? The USG already spent the last decade defending allegations that USG officials falsified financials to conceal misappropriation of millions of taxpayer dollars and Attorneys General Sam Olens and Chris Carr obstructed criminal investigations. The defense is not that the fraud did not occur, but that these state officials have sovereign immunity protection for RICO felonies.
10. Talmadge’s vote-rigging did not serve him as well in the polls as Perdue’s championing of the Confederate battle flag that propelled Perdue into office in 2002. Aligning with secessionists, segregationists, and seditionists remains as politically controversial as it is commercially problematic. In the next election, in 1942, the governor who seemed to be a fixture in Georgia’s reactionary establishment lost to that racially-indifferent upstart Ellis Arnall. That same result in 2022 would be bad for Brian Kemp, but maybe it’s for the best for the rest of us. —CL—"

string(7142) "In 1941, an anonymous writer who dubbed himself Atheneus penned an epistle to the ''Richmond Times-Dispatch'' to decry Georgia Governor Gene Talmadge’s firing of a UGA dean for advocating “communism and racial equality” — in what came to be known as the Cocking Affair. When the University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents balked at Talmadge’s demand that Cocking be drummed out of the university, Talmadge replaced three board members with loyalists to rig the vote.
Even 13 years before ''Brown v. Board of Education'' mandated school integration, Talmadge’s bald racist maneuvers sparked national outrage, and resulted in the university system losing its accreditation. The Regents responded by enacting Board of Regents Policy 6.4, which states that the board is “unalterably opposed to political interference” in Georgia’s system of higher education.
Eighty years after Governor Talmadge’s coup against the regents, Athenian Brian Kemp tried to follow in Talmadge’s footsteps to make the board appoint former Governor Sonny Perdue to the position of USG chancellor. After all, Perdue is out of a job since his gig as Trump’s secretary of agriculture came to a riotous end, and Kemp owes his own political rise to Perdue — since Perdue appointed Kemp to the secretary of state position from which Kemp oversaw his own election to the governor’s office.
Here are 10 reasons Kemp may want to re-think this political move:
1. First, it must be asked, ''sui generis'', if it is really a good idea to subvert the interests of educating Georgia’s future leaders to such a rank political favor. Is it worth the risk that a first-class system of higher education will not be the result?
2. In a flashback to 1941, the specter has already been raised whether the USG’s accreditation will find itself in jeopardy again. According to Belle Wheelan, head of the SACS regional accreditation agency, any suggestion of undue political pressure to appoint Sonny Perdue could endanger the accreditation on which continued federal funding of the USG depends. That is a strong statement, since SACS covered for the USG when it fudged its financial records to keep its accreditation intact after the crash of 2008.
3. As Community Papers publisher and former Chair of the Board of Regents Dink Nesmith once pointed out, former Governor Nathan Deal endangered the university system by strong-arming the appointment of Hank Huckaby as USG chancellor in 2011.

string(5705) "On a local Atlanta music Facebook page there is an extended discussion about whether or not there were sharks swimming in a tank underneath the glass dance floor of the Limelight in Buckhead during the ’80s (there were — for opening night). For those who don’t know, the “Studio 54 of the South” in the Piedmont-Peachtree Crossing shopping center is what gave the Disco Kroger its moniker, long after the dance club closed.
Forty years from now people will probably be having another discussion about what by then may seem bizarre: “What did you do during the Great Pandemic of 2020?” A lot of people will answer that they fought over rolls and rolls of toilet paper, sheltered in place, washed their hands over and over for at least 20 seconds each time, wore masks, wore double masks, made their own hand sanitizer, shopped for necessities online, and streamed endless movies and television shows until they’d binge-watched everything on the internet.
A good number of people will lament how live music came to an end, music clubs and bars and theaters closed, touring acts were forced off the road, and road crews, sound and light people, tour managers, and club personnel, booking agency and concert promotions employees, and others who made a living doing what they loved were either furloughed or lost their gigs altogether.
With an increase in the number of people getting vaccinated and others getting a bad case of cabin fever, people have started going out again.
Are you ready to get back to it? Are you willing to head out to the clubs to hear live music, see musicians perform onstage, and revel in all that you’ve been missing during these long months of self-isolation? The time is now, apparently, if you’re ready, willing, and able. Some people have already been paying the doorman a cover charge, throwing caution to the wind, and catching live music in real life.
For quite a few weeks now, both Blind Willie’s in Virginia-Highland and the Northside Tavern on Atlanta’s Westside have been booking weekend shows. I guess if you’re into the blues, taking your life in your hands comes with the territory. I mean, the musicians onstage had to make a deal with the devil to get their chops, right? So what’s the harm of going into a small club and enjoying some live music even if no one is following CDC guidelines, despite their being posted at the door, and there’s no social distancing, no one is wearing masks, and you don’t know if the person next to you has been vaccinated or is a COVID-19 denier?
Heading out is up to the individual — and many Atlanta club owners are betting that with spring having sprung, the time has come.
Smith’s Olde Bar is reopening for live music this month. While the restaurant has been open for quite some time, the people at Smith’s have used the months of pandemic shut-down to make some much-needed renovations and upgrades to the upstairs main music room and the smaller Atlanta room downstairs, as well as the bar, dining, and game rooms. Patrons will immediately notice that all of the carpets have been ripped out, the hardwoods underneath are newly-polished, and everything looks and smells clean. Even the bathrooms have undergone renovations.
Musicians playing Smith’s will also note a difference, especially with the stage having been enlarged, new sound and lights installed, the dressing rooms getting a make-over, and that side bar, stage right, being moved to the back of the room.

Other club owners are also spinning the wheel of fortune, booking performers and reopening.

It remains to be seen when The Earl and 529, currently with their restaurant and bars open respectively, will announce the return of live music to East Atlanta, though sources close to both businesses say June is probably when bands will start being booked at both places.

Elsewhere around town, Napoleon’s continues to book shows in the restaurant and the parking lot, while the Vista Room next door remains closed.
And, if you are in need of a vinyl fix, the Atlanta Record and CD Show will return to the Doubletree Hotel, 2055 South Park Place, on Sunday, June 6, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with early entry at 8 a.m. The hotel requires everyone who enters to wear a face mask.

string(6450) "On a local Atlanta music Facebook page there is an extended discussion about whether or not there were sharks swimming in a tank underneath the glass dance floor of the Limelight in Buckhead during the ’80s (there were — for opening night). For those who don’t know, the “Studio 54 of the South” in the Piedmont-Peachtree Crossing shopping center is what gave the Disco Kroger its moniker, long after the dance club closed.
Forty years from now people will probably be having another discussion about what by then may seem bizarre: “What did you do during the Great Pandemic of 2020?” A lot of people will answer that they fought over rolls and rolls of toilet paper, sheltered in place, washed their hands over and over for at least 20 seconds each time, wore masks, wore double masks, made their own hand sanitizer, shopped for necessities online, and streamed endless movies and television shows until they’d binge-watched everything on the internet.
A good number of people will lament how live music came to an end, music clubs and bars and theaters closed, touring acts were forced off the road, and road crews, sound and light people, tour managers, and club personnel, booking agency and concert promotions employees, and others who made a living doing what they loved were either furloughed or lost their gigs altogether.
With an increase in the number of people getting vaccinated and others getting a bad case of cabin fever, people have started going out again.
Are you ready to get back to it? Are you willing to head out to the clubs to hear live music, see musicians perform onstage, and revel in all that you’ve been missing during these long months of self-isolation? The time is now, apparently, if you’re ready, willing, and able. Some people have already been paying the doorman a cover charge, throwing caution to the wind, and catching live music ''in real life''.
For quite a few weeks now, both [http://www.blindwilliesblues.com|Blind Willie]’s in Virginia-Highland and the [http://www.northsidetavern.com|Northside Tavern] on Atlanta’s Westside have been booking weekend shows. I guess if you’re into the blues, taking your life in your hands comes with the territory. I mean, the musicians onstage had to make a deal with the devil to get their chops, right? So what’s the harm of going into a small club and enjoying some live music even if no one is following CDC guidelines, despite their being posted at the door, and there’s no social distancing, no one is wearing masks, and you don’t know if the person next to you has been vaccinated or is a COVID-19 denier?
Heading out is up to the individual — and many Atlanta club owners are betting that with spring having sprung, the time has come.

string(9483) "When the Garrett Collins Project won the prestigious Atlanta Blues Challenge in August of 2019, then headed to Memphis to represent our city in the International Blues Challenge (IBC) competition, the young blues/soul guitarist’s career should have been kickstarted into high gear. However, the IBS took place in late January 2020. We all know what followed after that. Chalk it up to bad luck and timing, but after a few months lying low, Collins realized he had to keep playing live to maintain the momentum achieved after years of hard work, hundreds of gigs, and plenty of practice. He had come too far to let it fizzle away due to a pesky worldwide pandemic.
Collins, who grew up in a musical family, discovered the guitar when he was around 15 in 2013 after being exposed to Jonny Lang. It was love at first sight. “Something about when I picked up the guitar and started listening to the blues, I just completely immersed myself with that. I knew I wanted to do music, but (after hearing the blues) that was the first time I thought ‘this is what I want to do, play blues music.’” He quit high school and homeschooled for the remaining few years. “I knew it was the best thing for me, because I wasn’t looking back. I knew what I wanted to do and wanted to achieve,” he clarifies. After being inspired by fellow Atlanta bluesman Cody Matlock when the two connected at a Northside Tavern tribute to Sean Costello (Collins was playing acoustic at that point), he learned how to solo on electric guitar and hasn’t looked back.
The “project” started in 2017 with drummer Justin Raffield and bassist Dennis Stevenson. That lineup has, somewhat incredibly, stayed consistent to this day. They had considered adding another member on keyboards — they use one in the studio — but “we really love what we’re able to produce with just the three of us. It’s easier that way. We always joke that we have a fourth member because (bassist Stevenson) has this pedal that makes his bass sound like an organ.”
After the pandemic brought live music to a screeching halt, Collins took a job as a cook (another of his passions) in March of 2020. But in May, his outfit played a private party and soon afterwards got a regular gig as the house band at Two Urban Licks. “For about three months, that’s all we had every weekend, Friday through Sunday. But we still managed to play over 200 shows last year during the pandemic.” That’s about what the trio has been logging for the past three years, pre-COVID-19, which is quite an achievement. Of course the crowds were thin for a while, but that’s improving, albeit slowly. “For us who have been out in the trenches, we’ve just kept doing it, obviously being as safe as possible. But we gotta eat.” Collins admits, “It was a crazy year but I really can’t complain.”
Things have been going remarkably well lately considering the circumstances. “Back in September of 2020 we landed the residency for Northside Tavern every Thursday. We’ve been doing that for about six months. We just found out it’s our spot for sure. We’re really proud of that.” But it hasn’t been easy. “We have busted our tail going into clubs doing jam nights, just trying to show people what we can do.” It helps that Collins expands his music on stage to include soul, R&B, and even country covers. Most, like crowd favorite “Ring of Fire,” are creatively rearranged and revamped to make them fresher and more blues oriented, rather than simply rehashing the originals as note-perfect reproductions.
Collins is effusive in his praise for assistance from Atlanta’s blues organization. “I can’t say enough about the Atlanta Blues Society. They have been so supportive of not only me but of all the young people trying to make this music live on. They helped raise money to send us to Memphis (for the IBC).” Collins and his group networked there, played five original tunes, and made it to the semifinals as one of the top 40 bands out of 250 acts. Then, when they were at their hottest, COVID hit.
Now that pandemic restrictions are loosening, Collins is revving up for the next phase of his still young career. He’s working on a professionally recorded album of originals to release and sell at shows, something he has taken his time doing in order to get right. “We’re now in preproduction to start recording new songs in Atlanta,” he says. “The plan is to release the album in three song sets.”
Collins is committed to the music and moving forward in a tough genre with substantial competition. He has received priceless support and mentorship from 75-year-old Macon musician Robert Lee Coleman, who played guitar with James Brown and Percy Sledge. The relationship has cemented Collins’ appreciation for the blues. “That’s what I love about (blues) music, how it transcends generations. Color doesn’t matter, age doesn’t matter, how you were raised doesn’t matter. I love how a 75-year-old Black man was sitting in central Georgia with a 17-year-old white kid, and the one thing that brought them together was the blues.”
Spoken like a lifelong bluesman.
Roots music shows start revving up in May:
Thurs., May 6 Carsie Blanton, Eddie’s Attic — Philly-based folkie Blanton enlivens her roots with retro jazz and even rocks out a bit, although in a reserved way. Her lyrics are sharp, wry, and witty (“Jesus Christ was a handsome man,” goes one tune), and she’s got charm to spare.
Fri.-Sat., May 7-8 Chris Knight, Eddie’s Attic — Kentucky-born Knight has been singing about the blue-collar, hardscrabble people he knows and loves with raw, often ragged country rock that skews to the darker side. His 2019 release, Almost Daylight, which included a cameo from John Prine (an obvious influence), was one of his finest in a catalog filled with tough and scruffy heartland folk/rock.
Sat., May 8 Randall Bramblett Band, From the Earth Brewing Company (Marietta) — Athens-based, Georgia-born Bramblett hasn’t looked back after leaving Steve Winwood’s band and flying solo. He will feature music from 2020’s Pine Needle Fire, another classy notch in the singer/songwriter’s expansive catalog of dusky, idiosyncratic, introspective Southern-tinged rock.
Sun., May 9 Shawn Mullins, Red Clay Music Foundry (Duluth) — Local folk/pop veteran Mullins kicks off a month of early evening (6 p.m. start) Sunday solo shows (the others are May 16, 23, 30) featuring selections from his deep catalog, mellifluous voice, engaging personality, and, of course, his big late-’90’s hit “Lullaby.” That may be his most popular tune, but there are plenty more gems where that came from and Mullins always brings it live.
Fri., May 28 Pony Bradshaw, Eddie’s Attic — Bradshaw, whose Mom calls him James, crafted a terrific set of songs around a fictional character named Calico Jim, releasing a titular album of them earlier this year as his second full-length. His sound is tinged with darker country and folk influences reflected in his everyman voice and lyrics about a drifter’s life that seems awfully close to his own.
Fri., Sat., Sun., May 28-30 Forward Festival at Cherokee Farms, LaFayette, GA — It’s a bit of a drive north on I-75 but the first major Georgia fest of the year features local favorite Oliver Woods (now a Nashville resident) headlining a decidedly rootsy bill with Grass Is Dead, Jon Stickley Trio, and Blair Crimmins & the Hookers, among other similarly organic acts. The promotional material promises “music, art, and camping,” which sounds like a good way to welcome back a festival season that took a year’s sabbatical.
Fri., June 4 Liz Longley, Eddie’s Attic — Nashville-based Longley is an introspective folk/pop songstress who has been refining her career for well over a decade. Her latest, 2020’s Funeral for My Past, is her most soulful release, as she sings emotional tales detailing the ups and mostly downs of romantic liaisons, likely based on personal experience.
Sat., June 5 Eddie 9V, Blind Willie’s, 8:30 p.m. show — A CD release show to celebrate the release of Eddie’s new Ruf label album Little Black Flies. This is a major event — not just as a big break in the singer/songwriter’s career — but also as an acknowledgement that the young blues/roots talent cropping up in Atlanta is ready for prime time. Come out and support the cause.
Sat., June 5 Jason Ringenberg, Eddie’s Attic, 7 p.m. show — Ringenberg will always be remembered as one of the founding fathers of country punk for his frontman status for the legendary Jason and the Scorchers. But he has a sturdy catalog of solo albums, too, and has found a successful secondary niche as Farmer Jason, crafting a colorful persona for children’s music even adults can love.
Sat., June 5 Dom Flemons, Eddie’s Attic, 9 p.m. show — Rhiannon Giddens isn’t the only member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops to have a successful solo career. Multi-instrumentalist Flemons has released a handful of albums that display his love of rustic country, bluegrass, blues, and rooty-toot-tooting old-timey Americana, often with humorous lyrics, not far removed from some of Taj Mahal or local icon Mudcat’s work. —CL—

string(9668) "When the Garrett Collins Project won the prestigious Atlanta Blues Challenge in August of 2019, then headed to Memphis to represent our city in the International Blues Challenge (IBC) competition, the young blues/soul guitarist’s career should have been kickstarted into high gear. However, the IBS took place in late January 2020. We all know what followed after that. Chalk it up to bad luck and timing, but after a few months lying low, Collins realized he had to keep playing live to maintain the momentum achieved after years of hard work, hundreds of gigs, and plenty of practice. He had come too far to let it fizzle away due to a pesky worldwide pandemic.
Collins, who grew up in a musical family, discovered the guitar when he was around 15 in 2013 after being exposed to Jonny Lang. It was love at first sight. “Something about when I picked up the guitar and started listening to the blues, I just completely immersed myself with that. I knew I wanted to do music, but (after hearing the blues) that was the first time I thought ‘''this'' is what I want to do, play ''blues'' music.’” He quit high school and homeschooled for the remaining few years. “I knew it was the best thing for me, because I wasn’t looking back. I knew what I wanted to do and wanted to achieve,” he clarifies. After being inspired by fellow Atlanta bluesman Cody Matlock when the two connected at a Northside Tavern tribute to Sean Costello (Collins was playing acoustic at that point), he learned how to solo on electric guitar and hasn’t looked back.
The “project” started in 2017 with drummer Justin Raffield and bassist Dennis Stevenson. That lineup has, somewhat incredibly, stayed consistent to this day. They had considered adding another member on keyboards — they use one in the studio — but “we really love what we’re able to produce with just the three of us. It’s easier that way. We always joke that we have a fourth member because (bassist Stevenson) has this pedal that makes his bass sound like an organ.”
After the pandemic brought live music to a screeching halt, Collins took a job as a cook (another of his passions) in March of 2020. But in May, his outfit played a private party and soon afterwards got a regular gig as the house band at Two Urban Licks. “For about three months, that’s all we had every weekend, Friday through Sunday. But we still managed to play over 200 shows last year during the pandemic.” That’s about what the trio has been logging for the past three years, pre-COVID-19, which is quite an achievement. Of course the crowds were thin for a while, but that’s improving, albeit slowly. “For us who have been out in the trenches, we’ve just kept doing it, obviously being as safe as possible. But we gotta eat.” Collins admits, “It was a crazy year but I really can’t complain.”
Things have been going remarkably well lately considering the circumstances. “Back in September of 2020 we landed the residency for Northside Tavern every Thursday. We’ve been doing that for about six months. We just found out it’s our spot for sure. We’re really proud of that.” But it hasn’t been easy. “We have busted our tail going into clubs doing jam nights, just trying to show people what we can do.” It helps that Collins expands his music on stage to include soul, R&B, and even country covers. Most, like crowd favorite “Ring of Fire,” are creatively rearranged and revamped to make them fresher and more blues oriented, rather than simply rehashing the originals as note-perfect reproductions.
Collins is effusive in his praise for assistance from Atlanta’s blues organization. “I can’t say enough about the Atlanta Blues Society. They have been so supportive of not only me but of all the young people trying to make this music live on. They helped raise money to send us to Memphis (for the IBC).” Collins and his group networked there, played five original tunes, and made it to the semifinals as one of the top 40 bands out of 250 acts. Then, when they were at their hottest, COVID hit.
Now that pandemic restrictions are loosening, Collins is revving up for the next phase of his still young career. He’s working on a professionally recorded album of originals to release and sell at shows, something he has taken his time doing in order to get right. “We’re now in preproduction to start recording new songs in Atlanta,” he says. “The plan is to release the album in three song sets.”
Collins is committed to the music and moving forward in a tough genre with substantial competition. He has received priceless support and mentorship from 75-year-old Macon musician Robert Lee Coleman, who played guitar with James Brown and Percy Sledge. The relationship has cemented Collins’ appreciation for the blues. “That’s what I love about (blues) music, how it transcends generations. Color doesn’t matter, age doesn’t matter, how you were raised doesn’t matter. I love how a 75-year-old Black man was sitting in central Georgia with a 17-year-old white kid, and the one thing that brought them together was the blues.”
Spoken like a lifelong bluesman.
__Roots music shows start revving up in May:__
__Thurs., May 6__ Carsie Blanton, Eddie’s Attic — Philly-based folkie Blanton enlivens her roots with retro jazz and even rocks out a bit, although in a reserved way. Her lyrics are sharp, wry, and witty (“Jesus Christ was a handsome man,” goes one tune), and she’s got charm to spare.
__Fri.-Sat., May 7-8__ Chris Knight, Eddie’s Attic — Kentucky-born Knight has been singing about the blue-collar, hardscrabble people he knows and loves with raw, often ragged country rock that skews to the darker side. His 2019 release, ''Almost Daylight'', which included a cameo from John Prine (an obvious influence), was one of his finest in a catalog filled with tough and scruffy heartland folk/rock.
__Sat., May 8__ Randall Bramblett Band, From the Earth Brewing Company (Marietta) — Athens-based, Georgia-born Bramblett hasn’t looked back after leaving Steve Winwood’s band and flying solo.

However, the IBS took place in late January 2020. We all know what followed after that. Chalk it up to bad luck and timing, but after a few months lying low, Collins realized he had to keep playing live to maintain the momentum achieved after years of hard work, hundreds of gigs, and plenty of practice. He had come too far to let it fizzle away due to a pesky worldwide pandemic.

It was love at first sight. “Something about when I picked up the guitar and started listening to the blues, I just completely immersed myself with that.

I knew what I wanted to do and wanted to achieve,” he clarifies. After being inspired by fellow Atlanta bluesman Cody Matlock when the two connected at a Northside Tavern tribute to Sean Costello (Collins was playing acoustic at that point), he learned how to solo on electric guitar and hasn’t looked back.
The “project” started in 2017 with drummer Justin Raffield and bassist Dennis Stevenson. That lineup has, somewhat incredibly, stayed consistent to this day. They had considered adding another member on keyboards — they use one in the studio — but “we really love what we’re able to produce with just the three of us. It’s easier that way. We always joke that we have a fourth member because (bassist Stevenson) has this pedal that makes his bass sound like an organ.”
After the pandemic brought live music to a screeching halt, Collins took a job as a cook (another of his passions) in March of 2020. But in May, his outfit played a private party and soon afterwards got a regular gig as the house band at Two Urban Licks. “For about three months, that’s all we had every weekend, Friday through Sunday. But we still managed to play over 200 shows last year during the pandemic.” That’s about what the trio has been logging for the past three years, pre-COVID-19, which is quite an achievement. Of course the crowds were thin for a while, but that’s improving, albeit slowly. “For us who have been out in the trenches, we’ve just kept doing it, obviously being as safe as possible. But we gotta eat.” Collins admits, “It was a crazy year but I really can’t complain.”
Things have been going remarkably well lately considering the circumstances. “Back in September of 2020 we landed the residency for Northside Tavern every Thursday. We’ve been doing that for about six months. We just found out it’s our spot for sure. We’re really proud of that.” But it hasn’t been easy. “We have busted our tail going into clubs doing jam nights, just trying to show people what we can do.” It helps that Collins expands his music on stage to include soul, R&B, and even country covers. Most, like crowd favorite “Ring of Fire,” are creatively rearranged and revamped to make them fresher and more blues oriented, rather than simply rehashing the originals as note-perfect reproductions.
Collins is effusive in his praise for assistance from Atlanta’s blues organization. “I can’t say enough about the Atlanta Blues Society. They have been so supportive of not only me but of all the young people trying to make this music live on. They helped raise money to send us to Memphis (for the IBC).” Collins and his group networked there, played five original tunes, and made it to the semifinals as one of the top 40 bands out of 250 acts. Then, when they were at their hottest, COVID hit.
Now that pandemic restrictions are loosening, Collins is revving up for the next phase of his still young career. He’s working on a professionally recorded album of originals to release and sell at shows, something he has taken his time doing in order to get right. “We’re now in preproduction to start recording new songs in Atlanta,” he says. “The plan is to release the album in three song sets.”
Collins is committed to the music and moving forward in a tough genre with substantial competition. He has received priceless support and mentorship from 75-year-old Macon musician Robert Lee Coleman, who played guitar with James Brown and Percy Sledge. The relationship has cemented Collins’ appreciation for the blues. “That’s what I love about (blues) music, how it transcends generations. Color doesn’t matter, age doesn’t matter, how you were raised doesn’t matter. I love how a 75-year-old Black man was sitting in central Georgia with a 17-year-old white kid, and the one thing that brought them together was the blues.”
Spoken like a lifelong bluesman.
Roots music shows start revving up in May:
Thurs., May 6 Carsie Blanton, Eddie’s Attic — Philly-based folkie Blanton enlivens her roots with retro jazz and even rocks out a bit, although in a reserved way. Her lyrics are sharp, wry, and witty (“Jesus Christ was a handsome man,” goes one tune), and she’s got charm to spare.
Fri.-Sat., May 7-8 Chris Knight, Eddie’s Attic — Kentucky-born Knight has been singing about the blue-collar, hardscrabble people he knows and loves with raw, often ragged country rock that skews to the darker side. His 2019 release, Almost Daylight, which included a cameo from John Prine (an obvious influence), was one of his finest in a catalog filled with tough and scruffy heartland folk/rock.
Sat., May 8 Randall Bramblett Band, From the Earth Brewing Company (Marietta) — Athens-based, Georgia-born Bramblett hasn’t looked back after leaving Steve Winwood’s band and flying solo. He will feature music from 2020’s Pine Needle Fire, another classy notch in the singer/songwriter’s expansive catalog of dusky, idiosyncratic, introspective Southern-tinged rock.
Sun., May 9 Shawn Mullins, Red Clay Music Foundry (Duluth) — Local folk/pop veteran Mullins kicks off a month of early evening (6 p.m. start) Sunday solo shows (the others are May 16, 23, 30) featuring selections from his deep catalog, mellifluous voice, engaging personality, and, of course, his big late-’90’s hit “Lullaby.” That may be his most popular tune, but there are plenty more gems where that came from and Mullins always brings it live.
Fri., May 28 Pony Bradshaw, Eddie’s Attic — Bradshaw, whose Mom calls him James, crafted a terrific set of songs around a fictional character named Calico Jim, releasing a titular album of them earlier this year as his second full-length. His sound is tinged with darker country and folk influences reflected in his everyman voice and lyrics about a drifter’s life that seems awfully close to his own.
Fri., Sat., Sun., May 28-30 Forward Festival at Cherokee Farms, LaFayette, GA — It’s a bit of a drive north on I-75 but the first major Georgia fest of the year features local favorite Oliver Woods (now a Nashville resident) headlining a decidedly rootsy bill with Grass Is Dead, Jon Stickley Trio, and Blair Crimmins & the Hookers, among other similarly organic acts. The promotional material promises “music, art, and camping,” which sounds like a good way to welcome back a festival season that took a year’s sabbatical.
Fri., June 4 Liz Longley, Eddie’s Attic — Nashville-based Longley is an introspective folk/pop songstress who has been refining her career for well over a decade. Her latest, 2020’s Funeral for My Past, is her most soulful release, as she sings emotional tales detailing the ups and mostly downs of romantic liaisons, likely based on personal experience.
Sat., June 5 Eddie 9V, Blind Willie’s, 8:30 p.m. show — A CD release show to celebrate the release of Eddie’s new Ruf label album Little Black Flies. This is a major event — not just as a big break in the singer/songwriter’s career — but also as an acknowledgement that the young blues/roots talent cropping up in Atlanta is ready for prime time. Come out and support the cause.
Sat., June 5 Jason Ringenberg, Eddie’s Attic, 7 p.m. show — Ringenberg will always be remembered as one of the founding fathers of country punk for his frontman status for the legendary Jason and the Scorchers. But he has a sturdy catalog of solo albums, too, and has found a successful secondary niche as Farmer Jason, crafting a colorful persona for children’s music even adults can love.
Sat., June 5 Dom Flemons, Eddie’s Attic, 9 p.m. show — Rhiannon Giddens isn’t the only member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops to have a successful solo career. Multi-instrumentalist Flemons has released a handful of albums that display his love of rustic country, bluegrass, blues, and rooty-toot-tooting old-timey Americana, often with humorous lyrics, not far removed from some of Taj Mahal or local icon Mudcat’s work. —CL—

string(5093) "Like migratory birds, superheroes have been flocking back to Atlanta. For most of the 2010s, Georgia has provided a happy habitat for movies and TV series about caped crusaders … until the pandemic put them on hold.
Many paused productions resumed last summer but have not been released until recently, along with completed films that were either postponed or shuffled to streaming services. But as of early 2021, audiences have been able to see Atlanta as the backdrop for superpowered heroism. The Krog Street Tunnel doubled for the lawless nation of Madripoor in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” on Disney Plus. Local landmarks like the Little Five Points Community Center and the First United Methodist Church made cameos in Netflix’s wan superhero comedy Thunder Force.
Major Marvel and DC films shot locally will screen theatrically this summer, with the thrice delayed Black Widow scheduled for July 9 and The Suicide Squad on August 6. The most impressive local heroes, however, may be the Good Samaritans of the comedy Bad Trip, who show no superpowers but common decency.
Currently available on Netflix, the hidden-camera road movie has a scripted through-line, as an underachiever (Eric Andre) resolves to drive from Miami to New York to pursue an old flame. He convinces his best friend (Lil Rey Howery) to “borrow” a car belonging to his convict sister (Tiffany Haddish), but she breaks out of jail and pursues them in a rage.
Films based on pranking or deceiving unsuspecting passersby, like Borat or parts of the Jackass franchise, can have a mean-spirited quality: They treat onlookers like unwitting improv partners, provoking them to get a reaction. Bad Trip definitely captures people getting flustered with Andre, Howery, and Haddish’s antics. In one of the first scenes shot, Andre and Howery have their penises connected in a Chinese finger trap, then go into an Atlanta barbershop and are chased out at knifepoint.
For the most part, Bad Trip avoids making innocent bystanders the butt of the joke, instead setting up elaborate public disasters to befall the actors. It can be quite touching — as well as laugh-out-loud funny — to see people step up to help them, like the woman to tries to save Howery from sinking into a portable toilet, or the nurse who rushes to Andre’s side after he suffers a spectacular fall at Kennesaw’s now-closed Electric Cowboy. An army recruiter consoles a heartbroken, seemingly-deranged Andre at a low point.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai, Bad Trip demonstrates how to make a cross-country movie primarily in the Metro Atlanta area. It was filmed between October 2017 and December of 2018 in Georgia (along with scenes in New York, California, and South Carolina). While establishing shots and on-camera maps place the cast moving up the East Coast, many unscripted gags were filmed at relatively nondescript Atlanta locales. A title says “Trenton, N.J.” but cuts to Midtown Atlanta’s The Original J.R. Crickets, where diners seemed thrilled to have ringside seats to the characters’ messy drama. Near the end, Haddish chases Andre from a New York gallery, down a few blocks and up a rooftop, where their conflict plays out in view of customers of the Atlanta-based food truck, The Blaxican.
The closing credits include scenes of Andre and company revealing the truth to their victims, the laughter and hugging ending the film on a note of good cheer. Of course, these are the happy responses: Reportedly, the final scene at a fancy gala had to be reshot in California because the dupes at the Atlanta-filmed version were too angry to sign permission forms afterward. But even though Bad Trip makes sport of ordinary people, it also has the attitude that they’re the real heroes.
Hello, I Must Be Going: With U.S. vaccinations well underway, Atlanta moviegoing is inching closer to normalcy. Many local cinemas have reopened under safety protocols, with the main holdouts, the Regal theater chain, scheduled to open their doors this month. Such venues as Atlantic Station and Regal Hollywood 24 are set for May 7, Perimeter Pointe on May 14, and the Tara Cinema on May 21.
But while the movie theaters are coming back, the moviemakers might be leaving. After the passage of Georgia’s restrictive voting rights laws, SB202, many filmmakers are opting to boycott the state. Ford v. Ferrari director James Mangold has vowed not to film in Georgia, while Will Smith and director Antoine Fuqua announced that their historical drama Emancipation would be relocated to another state.
Other screen artists are critiquing SB202 while doubling down on their support for the local filmmaking community. Director Ryan Coogler announcing that Black Panther 2 would stay in Atlanta while calling out SB202 for “its shameful roots in Jim Crow.” It’s a relief that Atlanta will continue to double for the nation of Wakanda even as other superheroes may choose to fly elsewhere. —CL—

string(8036) "On Friday, April 9, 2021, the world bid farewell to DMX. An imitable being, history-making recording artist, and hip-hop icon, DMX (born Earl Simmons) passed away in New York at 50 years old after remaining on life support for days following a catastrophic heart attack.
As news spread about the Ruff Ryder, it seemed unbelievable. The Yonkers emcee had battled drug addiction and so many other personal demons throughout his lifetime to become the larger-than-life artist and actor that he will forever be remembered as, and just like that, he was gone. As far as the hip-hop community was concerned, this special artist — who made Billboard history in 1998 by dropping two chart-topping albums within the span of a calendar year (a feat which has only been achieved since then by Atlanta trap aficionado Future), whose first five albums reached Billboard’s apex and set the record as the first artist to do so, and whose musical success permeated films such as Belly, Romeo Must Die, and Cradle 2 the Grave — was invincible. After a week of waiting and hoping that he would fully recover and snap back better than ever, it was a shock to learn that DMX was no longer with us.
His legacy is a hard topic to tackle. Although DMX was an artist with a brag sheet that could take up this entire page, one can’t fully grasp how awe-inspiring his dominance from the late ’90s to the mid aughts was by reading a barrage of statistics. In the wake of his passing, several fans and people who were fortunate to have met the growling rapper have shared their one-of-a-kind experiences with X, yet no single story fully captures the complexity of who he was as a human being.
To paint the picture of DMX’s life and career would be, one imagines, something like recreating the frescoed ceiling of the Sistine Chapel without Michaelangelo’s talent, a task bordering on sacrilege. That said, the energy that DMX transmitted into the universe deserves to be described in just such a multitude of accounts, so to honor Dark Man X, here are several tributes from local artists, journalists, and music industry executives. He may not have been from our beloved city, but Atlanta mourns hip-hop’s fallen top dog.
For BOREGARD., who commanded the spotlight of last month’s installment of “ATL Untrapped,” DMX was one of the first artists that he connected with on a deeper level.
“I don’t think there will ever be another artist like him,” the Trustfall2 artist says. “He influenced me in a number of ways. Outside of music, he consistently fought that battle, even when things looked dire, so I always admired his pursuit of happiness. That’s something that I want to embody within myself.”
“As far as music goes,” BOREGARD. continues, “if you listen to his music and then my music, you can hear the subtle influence that he had on me, from the ad libs and deliveries to just using my voice as an instrument in the same way that he did. He really was the first rapper that I personally was a fan of and that I personally cared about. So I felt it when we lost him, but I also know that he had a very great relationship with God, and he’s going to be happy alongside him.”
Rowdy Records artist Johnny Apollo has also drawn inspiration from the late rapper throughout his career. Citing the footage from when DMX performed at the infamous Woodstock ’99 music festival, the “No Cap” rapper reminisces about the impact that X left on him.
“I’m sure most people have seen that one specific clip. He was wearing a red overall-shorts-jumpsuit thing. It’s like a sea of people; it’s gotta be 100,000 folks out there. Everybody’s just going crazy to his music,” Apollo says. “That was one of my first inspirations to hit the stage and try to do that. X’s music has always had big energy, big vibes, and aggressiveness.”
“Yeah, he’s from a whole different state,” Apollo continues. “He’s from New York; I’m from Atlanta. But it’s still a certain energy or a kindred spirit. That’s why I feel like when I met him, he just embraced me immediately.”
ONE Musicfest veteran Maurice “Moetown” Lee also had the pleasure of meeting DMX, and he played a major part in booking the hip-hop veteran for the 2019 edition of ONE Musicfest.
“We had been trying to get him for four or five years,” Moetown reveals. “It just never panned out until 2019, which is crazy because I think it was his last big festival performance. For me, X had the best performance that year. Dude’s stage presence and energy was unmatched. We had Busta Rhymes, who is one of the most energetic performers, but X’s energy surpassed his. It’s a combination of nostalgia, aggression, and just ‘let’s have a good time’ energy.”
Of interacting with DMX in person, Moetown says, “If you’ve ever met him, it never seems like it’s your first time meeting him. He treats you like he’s known you forever. He lived to make other people happy.”
Regarding DMX’s impact beyond ONE Musicfest, Moetown continues: “Music and personality-wise, he was the closest thing to 2Pac. I think that’s what people are going to miss the most. They’re going to miss the combination of his music, his personality, and being real in and out of the music.”
Unlike other rappers who have recently perished due to violence, X’s passing feels different, a sentiment that Moetown, and likely several others, can relate to.
“Yeah, my mentality is like, ‘Damn, this cat is gone,’” he says, “but I have a peaceful feeling ’cause I know there ain’t no more suffering. I play it with a different kind of grace. I miss that we won’t be able to see him perform, but I’m extremely happy that he doesn’t have to go through all of the things he was going through anymore.”
Young music journalists — like Tylissa Lockhart, a writer and the creator of the bubbling Atlanta music blog bckgrnd. — born after DMX’s breakthrough debut in 1998, were more distanced from the height of his career, but X’s impact spanned generations.
“Every moment that I seen him, I was intrigued by his presence, strength, vulnerability, intelligence, and grace,” Lockhart states in an Instagram tribute for X. “He spoke in poetry. He made it okay to love vividly through pain. I never had that type of example in my life until seeing him. … He provided light in the midst of darkness. He was beautiful, very beautiful.”
Yoh Phillips, one of Atlanta’s most renowned chroniclers of hip-hop culture, summarizes what Lockhart says about the late rapper perfectly, calling DMX “a preacher in a burning church.”
“I like to say that because he was not preaching from a place that wasn’t on fire,” Phillips explains. “You felt the heat when you played X, man. Some music is explicit, but his was so dirty. Not just like the physical dirt, but the spiritual. We didn’t even talk about mental health back then, but he made it very clear that internally, you could be struggling with something that can withhold your ability to do things.
“I believed Biggie, I believed Pac, I believed all these guys. But DMX — I never questioned for a second,” Yoh continues, speaking on the Grand Champ’s authenticity. “If he meant it, he said it, exactly how it was lived and how it was felt. You can’t repeat that without going through the dirt or without coming out of a burning church and being like, ‘I done seen the light.’”
“DMX was never ever ever ever anyone but himself,” Yoh concludes. “He broke every rule, and now they’ve gotta build statues. He’s like a Greek hero; he’s rap’s Homer. I hope we look back on his career as an odyssey because it really was an odyssey.”
As evident through these touching tributes from Atlanta’s artists, industry insiders, and journalists, DMX may no longer be with us, but neither his legacy nor his energy will ever die. Rest in peace to the legend. —CL—"

string(8072) "On Friday, April 9, 2021, the world bid farewell to DMX. An imitable being, history-making recording artist, and hip-hop icon, DMX (born Earl Simmons) passed away in New York at 50 years old after remaining on life support for days following a catastrophic heart attack.
As news spread about the Ruff Ryder, it seemed unbelievable. The Yonkers emcee had battled drug addiction and so many other personal demons throughout his lifetime to become the larger-than-life artist and actor that he will forever be remembered as, and just like that, he was gone. As far as the hip-hop community was concerned, this special artist — who made ''Billboard'' history in 1998 by dropping two chart-topping albums within the span of a calendar year (a feat which has only been achieved since then by Atlanta trap aficionado Future), whose first five albums reached ''Billboard''’s apex and set the record as the first artist to do so, and whose musical success permeated films such as ''Belly'', ''Romeo Must Die'', and ''Cradle 2 the Grave'' — was invincible. After a week of waiting and hoping that he would fully recover and snap back better than ever, it was a shock to learn that DMX was no longer with us.
His legacy is a hard topic to tackle. Although DMX was an artist with a brag sheet that could take up this entire page, one can’t fully grasp how awe-inspiring his dominance from the late ’90s to the mid aughts was by reading a barrage of statistics. In the wake of his passing, several fans and people who were fortunate to have met the growling rapper have shared their one-of-a-kind experiences with X, yet no single story fully captures the complexity of who he was as a human being.

An imitable being, history-making recording artist, and hip-hop icon, DMX (born Earl Simmons) passed away in New York at 50 years old after remaining on life support for days following a catastrophic heart attack.
As news spread about the Ruff Ryder, it seemed unbelievable. The Yonkers emcee had battled drug addiction and so many other personal demons throughout his lifetime to become the larger-than-life artist and actor that he will forever be remembered as, and just like that, he was gone. As far as the hip-hop community was concerned, this special artist — who made Billboard history in 1998 by dropping two chart-topping albums within the span of a calendar year (a feat which has only been achieved since then by Atlanta trap aficionado Future), whose first five albums reached Billboard’s apex and set the record as the first artist to do so, and whose musical success permeated films such as Belly, Romeo Must Die, and Cradle 2 the Grave — was invincible. After a week of waiting and hoping that he would fully recover and snap back better than ever, it was a shock to learn that DMX was no longer with us.
His legacy is a hard topic to tackle. Although DMX was an artist with a brag sheet that could take up this entire page, one can’t fully grasp how awe-inspiring his dominance from the late ’90s to the mid aughts was by reading a barrage of statistics. In the wake of his passing, several fans and people who were fortunate to have met the growling rapper have shared their one-of-a-kind experiences with X, yet no single story fully captures the complexity of who he was as a human being.
To paint the picture of DMX’s life and career would be, one imagines, something like recreating the frescoed ceiling of the Sistine Chapel without Michaelangelo’s talent, a task bordering on sacrilege. That said, the energy that DMX transmitted into the universe deserves to be described in just such a multitude of accounts, so to honor Dark Man X, here are several tributes from local artists, journalists, and music industry executives. He may not have been from our beloved city, but Atlanta mourns hip-hop’s fallen top dog.
For BOREGARD., who commanded the spotlight of last month’s installment of “ATL Untrapped,” DMX was one of the first artists that he connected with on a deeper level.
“I don’t think there will ever be another artist like him,” the Trustfall2 artist says. “He influenced me in a number of ways. Outside of music, he consistently fought that battle, even when things looked dire, so I always admired his pursuit of happiness. That’s something that I want to embody within myself.”
“As far as music goes,” BOREGARD. continues, “if you listen to his music and then my music, you can hear the subtle influence that he had on me, from the ad libs and deliveries to just using my voice as an instrument in the same way that he did. He really was the first rapper that I personally was a fan of and that I personally cared about. So I felt it when we lost him, but I also know that he had a very great relationship with God, and he’s going to be happy alongside him.”
Rowdy Records artist Johnny Apollo has also drawn inspiration from the late rapper throughout his career. Citing the footage from when DMX performed at the infamous Woodstock ’99 music festival, the “No Cap” rapper reminisces about the impact that X left on him.
“I’m sure most people have seen that one specific clip. He was wearing a red overall-shorts-jumpsuit thing. It’s like a sea of people; it’s gotta be 100,000 folks out there. Everybody’s just going crazy to his music,” Apollo says. “That was one of my first inspirations to hit the stage and try to do that. X’s music has always had big energy, big vibes, and aggressiveness.”
“Yeah, he’s from a whole different state,” Apollo continues. “He’s from New York; I’m from Atlanta. But it’s still a certain energy or a kindred spirit. That’s why I feel like when I met him, he just embraced me immediately.”
ONE Musicfest veteran Maurice “Moetown” Lee also had the pleasure of meeting DMX, and he played a major part in booking the hip-hop veteran for the 2019 edition of ONE Musicfest.
“We had been trying to get him for four or five years,” Moetown reveals. “It just never panned out until 2019, which is crazy because I think it was his last big festival performance. For me, X had the best performance that year. Dude’s stage presence and energy was unmatched. We had Busta Rhymes, who is one of the most energetic performers, but X’s energy surpassed his. It’s a combination of nostalgia, aggression, and just ‘let’s have a good time’ energy.”

Unlike other rappers who have recently perished due to violence, X’s passing feels different, a sentiment that Moetown, and likely several others, can relate to.
“Yeah, my mentality is like, ‘Damn, this cat is gone,’” he says, “but I have a peaceful feeling ’cause I know there ain’t no more suffering. I play it with a different kind of grace. I miss that we won’t be able to see him perform, but I’m extremely happy that he doesn’t have to go through all of the things he was going through anymore.”
Young music journalists — like Tylissa Lockhart, a writer and the creator of the bubbling Atlanta music blog bckgrnd. — born after DMX’s breakthrough debut in 1998, were more distanced from the height of his career, but X’s impact spanned generations.
“Every moment that I seen him, I was intrigued by his presence, strength, vulnerability, intelligence, and grace,” Lockhart states in an Instagram tribute for X. “He spoke in poetry. He made it okay to love vividly through pain. I never had that type of example in my life until seeing him. … He provided light in the midst of darkness. He was beautiful, very beautiful.”
Yoh Phillips, one of Atlanta’s most renowned chroniclers of hip-hop culture, summarizes what Lockhart says about the late rapper perfectly, calling DMX “a preacher in a burning church.”
“I like to say that because he was not preaching from a place that wasn’t on fire,” Phillips explains. “You felt the heat when you played X, man. Some music is explicit, but his was so dirty. Not just like the physical dirt, but the spiritual. We didn’t even talk about mental health back then, but he made it very clear that internally, you could be struggling with something that can withhold your ability to do things.
“I believed Biggie, I believed Pac, I believed all these guys. But DMX — I never questioned for a second,” Yoh continues, speaking on the Grand Champ’s authenticity. “If he meant it, he said it, exactly how it was lived and how it was felt. You can’t repeat that without going through the dirt or without coming out of a burning church and being like, ‘I done seen the light.’”
“DMX was never ever ever ever anyone but himself,” Yoh concludes. “He broke every rule, and now they’ve gotta build statues. He’s like a Greek hero; he’s rap’s Homer. I hope we look back on his career as an odyssey because it really was an odyssey.”
