But it’s in the same way folk-protest singer\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ochs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Phil Ochs \u003c/a>was off; it doesn’t matter because the songs are so full of heart and humanity. He and his bandmate and wife Rennie (who writes the surreal, sometimes somber lyrics) got a huge boost when \u003ca href=\"http://www.hbo.com/true-detective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HBO’s \u003cem>True Detective\u003c/em>\u003c/a> made their single “Far From Any Road” the theme song for the show’s first season. They live in Albuquerque, and don’t like to tour much, but they’ve got a 10th album with songs, Rennie says, about “things we cannot see,” and it’s terrific.

But I have an antidote for this week: comedian Jackie Kashian. She’s a smart, funny woman who likes to gently poke white privilege and nerdiness. Her husband’s a game designer, and she hosts the podcast \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://tdf.libsyn.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Dork Forest\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>a tribute to geeks and pop culture freaks.

And he’s a great relief valve for our own frustrations and anxieties, because he’s so righteously \u003cstrong>angry\u003c/strong> about it. As our producer Suzie Racho says, he looks a walking heart attack, so catch him before he self-destructs. Details here for his three Bay Area shows: Dec. 2 at the\u003ca href=\"http://concerts.livenation.com/event/1C005093CAE56029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco\u003c/a>, Dec. 8 at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.uptowntheatrenapa.com/event/lewis-black-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uptown Theater in Napa\u003c/a>, and Dec. 9 at the \u003ca href=\"https://goldenstatetheatre.showare.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden State Theatre in Monterey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrJTmpt43hg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 2 and 4\u003c/strong>: Baroque composers wrestled with the same moral dilemmas as we do now.

She’s prolific, profound, and often funny. She’s got a new show, co-written with \u003ca href=\"http://zff.org/announcements/margot-melcon-joins-zff/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Margot Melcon\u003c/a>, called \u003cem>Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley\u003c/em>. It’s an update on Jane Austen’s \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Pride and Prejudice\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and Gunderson says it’s her and Melcon’s stab at the perfect Christmas play — a witty love story, set during the Christmas season, blending sentiment and smarts. And yes, it’s a bit of an escape from the anxieties of this past election season. “But the day after the election, going into rehearsal,” Gunderson tells me by phone, “we realized this play is more appropriate in part because it is still rare to have a lot of women on stage not talking about men, but talking about their own futures, their own agency, their own ambitions, and their own hearts.” Details for \u003cem>Miss Bennet\u003c/em> at Marin Theatre Co. are \u003ca href=\"http://www.marintheatre.org/productions/miss-bennet-christmas-at-pemberly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1G_5cDlWeM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 8\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesheltersmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Shelters\u003c/a> sound a little like the Byrds, the Beatles and a bit of the Allman Brothers all mixed together. Sebastian Harris, Josh Jove, Jacob Pillot, and Chase Simpson make classic rock ‘n’ roll, something we don’t really hear all that often these days. They also have an ace in the hole; their new album was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://www.tompetty.com/?frontpage=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Petty\u003c/a>, who was so impressed with the band that he produced their new album in his home studio.

And yes, it’s a bit of an escape from the anxieties of this past election season. “But the day after the election, going into rehearsal,” Gunderson tells me by phone, “we realized this play is more appropriate in part because it is still rare to have a lot of women on stage not talking about men, but talking about their own futures, their own agency, their own ambitions, and their own hearts.” Details for \u003cem>Miss Bennet\u003c/em> at Marin Theatre Co. are \u003ca href=\"http://www.marintheatre.org/productions/miss-bennet-christmas-at-pemberly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1G_5cDlWeM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1G_5cDlWeM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 8\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesheltersmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Shelters\u003c/a> sound a little like the Byrds, the Beatles and a bit of the Allman Brothers all mixed together.

On her new album, \u003cem>Lover\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beloved\u003c/em>: \u003cem>Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, \u003c/em>she channels the persona of Carson McCullers, the unconventional Southern gothic writer of novels like \u003cem>Member of the Wedding\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (\u003c/em>which was certainly the most depressing and amazing book I read in high school). Vega has been drawn to McCullers since she was 17 and saw a photograph of the author, and that persistent obsession has paid off with this new song cycle.

"content": "\u003cp>Bill Cosby’s eyesight has deteriorated to the point where he cannot identify his accusers in photographs or otherwise help with his defense, his lawyers said Wednesday as they waged a multipronged effort to get the sexual assault case against the 79-year-old comedian thrown out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His attorneys also portrayed Cosby as a political pawn who is being prosecuted only because a suburban Philadelphia district attorney used the public furor over the comic to get elected last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they renewed their argument that Cosby’s lurid 2005 deposition from a related lawsuit should not be admitted at his trial, saying he answered questions under oath only after being assured he would not be charged with a crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby leaned back in his chair as his lawyers made their case to a judge at the pretrial hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “Cosby Show” star once known as America’s Dad is scheduled to go on trial in June on charges he drugged and molested Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, at his home in 2004. He could get 10 years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby has said the encounter was consensual. He is free on $1 million bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of additional accusers have come forward, including 13 women whom prosecutors want to call as witnesses at the trial to show that they were drugged and violated in similar fashion. Cosby’s lawyers are fighting that strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Angela Agrusa argued that prosecutors unfairly prejudiced Cosby by waiting a decade to pursue Constand’s complaint. The defense said Cosby has memory problems and is also legally blind, presenting a medical report that said he is blind in his right eye and has glaucoma in both eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the materials they turned over, the photographs, Mr. Cosby cannot look at a photograph or any evidence and help his counsel or explain who those people are,” Agrusa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, prosecutors said Cosby himself caused the delay by fighting efforts by The Associated Press — in 2006 and again in 2014 — to unseal his testimony in Constand’s 2005 lawsuit. Prosecutors said that it was not until a judge unsealed the material last year that they learned that Cosby had admitted to a series of affairs and acknowledged obtaining quaaludes to give to women before sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had never admitted to using powerful drugs to facilitate sex with women. That’s a big deal,” Deputy District Attorney Robert Falin said. “In our case, it goes to what exactly did he give to Andrea. … I think any reasonable prosecutor would have taken another look at the case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s lawyers have also argued that he sat for the deposition only after then-District Attorney Bruce Castor promised he would never face arrest in the Constand case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s attorneys are using that supposed promise to try to get the case thrown out or, failing that, to keep the deposition from being used at his trial. The judge did not immediately rule on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are also focusing on the campaign battle between Castor and the current district attorney, Kevin Steele, in last year’s election in Montgomery County. Steele ran press releases and TV commercials attacking Castor for not prosecuting Cosby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steele made Cosby a “pawn in that election,” Agrusa argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His cause celebre became attacking Mr. Cosby, stating publicly that his opponent had not been aggressive enough, had not done his job,” she said. “And now he’s in a situation where he’s got to act on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another point, Agrusa said: “My client is not a meme. He’s a human being. And his rights have been trampled by ego and ambition.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Cosby’s lawyers are fighting that strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Angela Agrusa argued that prosecutors unfairly prejudiced Cosby by waiting a decade to pursue Constand’s complaint. The defense said Cosby has memory problems and is also legally blind, presenting a medical report that said he is blind in his right eye and has glaucoma in both eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the materials they turned over, the photographs, Mr. Cosby cannot look at a photograph or any evidence and help his counsel or explain who those people are,” Agrusa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, prosecutors said Cosby himself caused the delay by fighting efforts by The Associated Press — in 2006 and again in 2014 — to unseal his testimony in Constand’s 2005 lawsuit. Prosecutors said that it was not until a judge unsealed the material last year that they learned that Cosby had admitted to a series of affairs and acknowledged obtaining quaaludes to give to women before sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had never admitted to using powerful drugs to facilitate sex with women. That’s a big deal,” Deputy District Attorney Robert Falin said. “In our case, it goes to what exactly did he give to Andrea. … I think any reasonable prosecutor would have taken another look at the case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s lawyers have also argued that he sat for the deposition only after then-District Attorney Bruce Castor promised he would never face arrest in the Constand case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s attorneys are using that supposed promise to try to get the case thrown out or, failing that, to keep the deposition from being used at his trial. The judge did not immediately rule on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are also focusing on the campaign battle between Castor and the current district attorney, Kevin Steele, in last year’s election in Montgomery County. Steele ran press releases and TV commercials attacking Castor for not prosecuting Cosby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steele made Cosby a “pawn in that election,” Agrusa argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His cause celebre became attacking Mr. Cosby, stating publicly that his opponent had not been aggressive enough, had not done his job,” she said. “And now he’s in a situation where he’s got to act on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another point, Agrusa said: “My client is not a meme. He’s a human being. And his rights have been trampled by ego and ambition.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
