The Stone Foxes Return to Rock's Roots
While plenty of bands admit to borrowing heavily from the greats that came before them, it's a rare few that do so as exceptionally well as San Francisco's The Stone Foxes. The youngsters (all four bandmembers are between the ages of 21 and 24) may not have been alive during the heyday of Haight-Ashbury, but a spin through their self-released debut would lead most listeners to think otherwise. Right from its snarling start, “Beneath Mt. Sinai,” the album packs in harmonica riffs, yelping har [Read more]

Veteran Actor Karl Malden Dies at 97
Many of us grew up remembering him as Lieutenant Mike Stone of the San Francisco police department, the tough but kind-hearted detective who mentored the young Steven Keller — played by an equally young Michael Douglas — on the ABC series The Streets of San Francisco between 1972 and 1977. An older generation recall his tremendous performance as Father Barry opposite Marlon Brando in the 1954 classic film, On the Waterfront. For both generations, Karl Malden was a truly compelling c [Read more]

Things Are Heating Up!
I was glad to see ?We Are the World? on the ridiculously inadequate Climate Change bill that finally emerged from the corrupt U.S. Congress. Sadly, the bill could only emerge with the support of a number of mainstream environmental lobbyists in DC, who clearly have sold out to get something, anything, in the direction of addressing the climate catastrophe. Here in San Francisco there?s an inordinate amount of enthusiasm for the Bike Plan getting okayed by part of the city government, even though [Read more]

Dan Brereton Stays Up With Nocturnals
Nocturnals volume 2 on sale next weekWriter-artist Dan Brereton grew up in San Francisco's Bay Area, where he used to wander the many hills, discovering hidden gullies and valleys along the way.

Detour: Field of Dreams
As a San Francisco girl who is used to sitting in bleak fog all summer long, the volatile weather seems almost magical. I begin to understand how the author of the book, Shoeless Joe, on which the movie is based, might have been inspired by the landscape. The story goes that an Iowa farmer is standing in the middle of a cornfield when he hears a mysterious voice telling him to cut a baseball diamond out of his field so the ghost of Joe Jackson (aka Shoeless Joe), who was a member of the infamous [Read more]
