QUEENS OF CHICK ROCK RULE CLEVELAND THIS WEEK
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2004 JOHN PETKOVICPLAIN DEALER REPORTER
The queens of chick rock. Bad girl power. Teen-pop terrors.
When the Donnas popped up in the mid-1990s, they were heralded as
the cheerleaders of a chicks-rule movement. But the all-girl punk-pop
quartet which hits the Gravity Games at 9:30 p.m. Friday owes more to
rock's masculine past than the feminist future.
Beneath all the odes to juvenile delinquency smoking in the girls
room, turfing lawns and chasing dudes the Donnas are really a
throwback to rock's classic past when hard-rocking, not identity
politics, was the be-all and end-all.
That era wouldn't have been the same without Heart.
The classic-rock warriors led by Ann and Nancy Wilson were "chick
rock" before it became a rote marketing posture. After all, the
Wilsons' band didn't need an angle; they had riffs and wails that
rocked on par with dude rockers such as Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin.
Their longevity just shows that the rock riff is mightier than the
shtick.
At 8 p.m. Tuesday, Heart hits Scene Pavilion, 2014 Sycamore St., on
the west side of Cleveland's Flats. $25-$50. Tickets to the Gravity
Games, which take place at Cleveland's North Coast Harbor, are $14.
For either show, call Ticketmaster, 216-241-5555 or 330-945-9400.
DONALD\'S HAIR TRUMPS MAVERICK MASH Just when you thought "reality"
TV was a big blob of indistinguishable mush, there's . . . "The
Benefactor." The WEWS Channel 5 show, which debuts at 8 p.m. Monday,
boasts 16 airheads who will do anything to win a million bucks from
dotcom billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
In this case, "anything" is defined loosely as "anything but
entertaining" at least judging from the debut. Watching Cuban slobber
on smugly as his sycophantic contestants grovel does offer some
clarity to the entire "reality show" enterprise, though.
It'll make you appreciate the pompous but entertaining shtick of
Donald Trump in "The Apprentice," which is back on WKYC Channel 3 at
9 p.m. Thursdays. Hey, it even made me realize that there's more to
eating the stuff they eat on "Survivor" than meets the eye and mouth.
MORE REAL THAN "REALITY" When Vladimir Nabokov said that reality is
a word that should be enclosed by quotation marks, I don't think he
meant "reality" TV.
But he was on the same wavelength as Ilya Kabakov. The Russian
artist's installation "The Teacher and the Student: Charles Rosenthal
and Ilya Kabakov" not only constructs a fictional reality, it is also
based on the works of a fictional character. Charles Rosenthal, you
see, is an imaginary artist who "worked" until his tragic "death" in
1933.
Through Sunday, Jan. 2, Rosenthal's works, er, I mean, Kabakov's
installation a masterful mix of faux museum decor, "historical"
detail and paintings and sculptures is being housed by the Museum of
Contemporary Art, 8501 Carnegie Ave. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6
p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, except Thursdays, when it's open from 11
a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission $4, except Fridays when it's free. Call
216-421-8671.
MORE ARTISTIC THAN "THE OSBOURNES" Where does heaven begin and hell
end? No, this isn't a line from an Ozzy Osbourne ditty. It's the
theme of "Heaven and Hell," this year's show by the Northern Ohio
Illustrators Society. The 8th annual NOIS exhibition which opens at 5
p.m. Friday at the Edge Art Gallery, 1844 Euclid Ave., Cleveland
features works by members that explore religious and secular takes on
the concept. It runs through Saturday, Oct. 2. Free. Call
216-241-7120.
