3349 N. Halsted SidetrackChicago.com That Guy by Kirk Williamson Tajma Hall and Teri Yaki had obviously taken their nasty- ass pills before the www.M4M411.com launch party at Jackhammer, because they were both at their inappropriatest. I know, I know, no mean feat for Teri, but even Taj was less than lady-like. All fitting for the occasion, I thought. Let’s all wish good luck to John and the whole team at www.M4M411.com. See my photos on page 13.

I semi-stalked our very own music writer Marc “Moose” Moder this week, and who could blame me. Just two of his seemingly 4.6 billion gigs are the Old Skool House Party at Mary’s Attic (2nd Friday of each month) and Downtown Lights at Downtown Bar and Lounge (1st and 3rd Fridays). What about 4th Fridays, Moose? Ya gettin’ lazy?

Lots of great events coming up. The opening of Flesh: Photographs by Justice Howard at the Leather Archives on Feb. 1 is not for the faint of heart, but I suspect the faint of heart don’t read my column. Scot’s annual “Slap My Ass and Call Me Sally” chili cook off takes place Super Bowl Sunday, so get your antacids ready. Touche sashes a new Mr. Chicago Leather this weekend, and roasts the old one.

DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE by Marc “Moose” Moder New Year. Time for New Beginnings.

Times changes, people change and as Exposé once said, seasons change. Depending on what era of music you’re in, a passé artist has a good chance to make a comeback. Back in the ‘90s it wasn’t uncommon to see oldies like Bonnie Raitt, Cher, Don Henley and Santana making huge comebacks and not only selling to the boomers, but to younger listeners as well; whereas in the ‘60s and the ‘00s to now, the singles charts are really run by artists under 30. Even someone like X-Tina is considered a bit long in the tooth to still be playing. Well, it’s time to change that. There are a lot of great artists who’ve given up, stopped trying to be innovative, or are just waiting in the wings for the tides to change. So I’ve rounded up a few of my fantasy comebacks for your consideration.

Taylor Dayne: If only she can first admit she’s a top-knotch singer (and a second-rate actress), and second, if she can stop being such a B* (in Apt 23), she could really do well with a full on soul record. Don’t go the cheesy, stale Kristine W route of club tunes that died 10 years ago. See Lisa Stansfield who’s working on her first album in almost a decade and going fully back to hear slinky soul sound.

Prince & Madonna: I do realize I raz on the Purple One and the Menopausal-Girl a bit much in this column, but if these two would put as much effort into their new original material as they do into their sold out live shows, they’d both be back at the top immediately. The followings are there, but neither one of them can write anymore and seem to just phone in new material in order to play something new at their shows. Both of you: Get some quality production and a few hip, young co-writers. You’re both teetering on the edge of becoming an oldies act for life.

Rick Astley: You’d think the Rick-rolling phenomenon of a few years ago would have been the best platform for the “Never Gonna Give You Up” singer to work the proverbial room, but no. He put out one fantastic, but not well-promoted single, “Lights Out,” with no follow-up album. It’s a shame. His voice and quality of material is better than it’s ever been, and the man still looks 30 years old.

Finally, George Michael: Whatever you’re still on, put it down, girl. Your last single, “White Light,” proclaiming you had made it out of the darkness, rang about as true as Whitney’s final album where she chanted about sobriety and redemption only to fall a few years later. We’re not buying it and the Cher-like autotune mangling of “White Light” covered the best thing about you, that silky smooth voice. Solution, get legit clean and get a real team behind you. Real instruments, real writers, maybe even Andrew Ridgeley, and stop making self- produced synth trash. You’re better than this, George. You’re all better than this. Now go prove it. We’ll be waiting, and buying.

DJ Moose will be playing many of these artists at his new Old Skool House Party at Mary’s Attic on the second Saturday of each month.

Fool’s Gold The first word Keith said as a child was “mine.” This was appropriate because since he was a child almost everything has been given to him. Keith has never had to work very hard. He is one of those people that people call “golden.” Partly because he was born into privilege, having wealthy parents and grandparents and partly because he is, well, golden. He has perfect white teeth, wavy, sand-colored hair, crystal blue eyes and perfect, glowing skin. To top off Keith’s list of advantages, he is brilliant. He never had to study hard to get great grades and he coasted through his top-ranking high school and college. Even his body responds to the slightest workout by offering him a chisled form with very little effort. All of these privileges would put him in a position to be one of the most envied and loved people if he wasn’t such a fucking dickhead. Keith classifies people into two categories: those that he wants to sleep with and those that he doesn’t. Usually the decision has been made before he has spoken to the person unclassified. Other times it’s made mid-conversation or when the verdict happens to cross his mind. Boring, too small, bad hair, done. Keith also believes that everyone is this way, he is just willing to admit it. The problem with his theory of living is the way he treats the people that he does not deem suitable. It’s awful. It was this attitude that turned Carlos off. Carlos is this great guy. He’s smart and charming and has a great sense of humor. He’s a chiropractor, which Keith considered almost a doctor. He’s not as good-looking as Keith, but he’s extremely handsome and everyone who meets him falls a little bit in love with him. He was the first guy that Keith really started to fall for. He was almost the complete package and Keith decided that they would be boyfriends. They went on a few dates and had what Keith thought was an excellent time. They also had what Keith felt was the best sex of his life. That’s why he doesn’t understand why Carlos called him this morning and told him that he doesn’t want to see him anymore. He told Keith that he didn’t feel like they were a good match and wished him well without saying that he would like to be friends. Keith didn’t know what to do and did what anyone else would do: he called his friends for some sympathy, which he didn’t get. It’s hard to feel bad for a guy in his thirties who is just feeling his first burst of disappointment. His first heartbreak. The response Keith got was almost as if everyone felt that he deserved it and their lack of support made him angry. He just didn’t understand and confusion is what glues hurt and anger together. For the first time he felt what everybody else must feel. But since he wasn’t everybody else, he decided to take action and do the only thing that made sense. He was going to go to Carlos’ office and talk some sense into him. You see, the second word that Keith learned as a child was “no.” History of the Cock: Part 2
