Concert review: Jack Johnson by: David Burger Trib staffer Chris McDonald attended Jack Johnson's Froday night show at Usana Amphitheatre, and here is his review: Laid back, chill, mellow. Did I miss any? All of these and more have been used to describe Jack Johnson and his music. As much as I wanted to avoid using these cliches, they fit. Johnson's show at a packed Usana Amphitheatre was like going to a party with friends and family, a really large party. With the exception of a large screen behind the band, the stage was simple and provided as intimate an atmosphere as Usana allows. Johnson's shows are devoid of pyrotechnics or elaborate props and are all the better for it. The show opened with "You and Your Heart" from his new album "To the Sea" and for nearly two hours Johnson had the audience in the palm of his hands. There were a few twists on old favorites including a verse from "Just What I Needed" by The Cars that found its way into Johnson's "Sitting Waiting Wishing". Hawaiian singer Paula Fuga joined Johnson on stage for "Turn Your Love", the pair also performed Fuga's song "Country Road." Dan Lebowitz, guitarist for opening act ALO, and G Love, who performed an energetic solo set, contributed to a rousing rendition of "Staple It Together" including a freestyle rap from bassist Merlo Podlewski. Johnson's keyboardist Zach Gill, who is also a member of ALO, lent his accordion skills to the songs "Banana Pancakes" and provided a playful stage presence throughout. Johnson's easygoing persona was on full display during the song "Do You Remember," as he forgot what verse he was on and shared a good laugh with the audience. For the final song of the evening Johnson was joined onstage by Fuga, G Love, and Lebowitz, for his uplifting tune "Better Together," a fitting song to end a party with "family and friends."

Marine scientist Marcus Eriksen invited onboard an unusual crew to help him study the sea: renowned surfers Keith & Dan Malloy, musician Jack Johnson, spearfisher woman Kimi Werner, and bodysurfer Mark Cunningham become citizen scientists on a mission to assess the fate of plastics in the world’s oceans. After years of hearing about the famous “garbage patches” in the ocean’s gyres, the crew is stunned to learn that the patches are a myth: the waters stretch- ing to the horizon are clear blue, with no islands of trash in sight. But as the crew sieves the water and sorts through their haul, a more disturbing reality sets in: a fog of microplastics permeates the world’s oceans, trillions of nearly invisible plas- tic shards making their way up the marine food chain.

ABSTRACT Reading Dreams: an Audience-Critical Approach to the Dreams in the Gospel of Matthew Derek S. Dodson, B.A., M.Div
ABSTRACT Reading Dreams: An Audience-Critical Approach to the Dreams in the Gospel of Matthew Derek S. Dodson, B.A., M.Div. Mentor: Charles H. Talbert, Ph.D. This dissertation seeks to read the dreams in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18b-25; 2:12, 13-15, 19-21, 22; 27:19) as the authorial audience. This approach requires an understanding of the social and literary character of dreams in the Greco-Roman world. Chapter Two describes the social function of dreams, noting that dreams constituted one form of divination in the ancient world. This religious character of dreams is further described by considering the practice of dreams in ancient magic and Greco-Roman cults as well as the role of dream interpreters. This chapter also includes a sketch of the theories and classification of dreams that developed in the ancient world. Chapters Three and Four demonstrate the literary dimensions of dreams in Greco-Roman literature. I refer to this literary character of dreams as the “script of dreams;” that is, there is a “script” (form) to how one narrates or reports dreams in ancient literature, and at the same time dreams could be adapted, or “scripted,” for a range of literary functions. This exploration of the literary representation of dreams is nuanced by considering the literary form of dreams, dreams in the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, the inventiveness of literary dreams, and the literary function of dreams. In light of the social and literary contexts of dreams, the dreams of the Gospel of Matthew are analyzed in Chapter Five.

THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

Steve Adams, Bass/Vocals
Steve Adams, bass/vocals Buying his first electric bass guitar at age 13 and playing in bands throughout high school led bass player Steve Adams to the Music Department at UC Santa Barbara in 1993. While working toward his degree in Ethnomusicology, he further explored the upright acoustic bass, focusing on American (Jazz, Bluegrass) and Middle Eastern (Arabic, Persian, Turkish) music. Today, Steve's broad range of experiences along with his great groove and warm tone make him an in-demand bass player both in the studio and on stage. When off the road with his jam/pop band ALO, you’re likely to catch Steve playing out with an assortment of great musicians including Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers, Big Light, Brokedown in Bakersfield, Newfangled Wasteland and many more! photo by Jay Balkesberg I.
