Review – This Is Not a Rebellion — This Is a Mass Awakening!
Artist: The Steven McDonald Group
After the lush
Novelist Ernest Hemingway never owned a restaurant. While he did originate the line, “Paris is a moveable feast,” I don’t think he was talking about food. Still, he was known to frequent some of the finest restaurants in Italy, France and, of course, Cuba. I think he’d be just as likely to be found in…

Day after day
If the roots of today’s Strokes of slacker genius lie in the post-punk haze of the late ’70s, then Chrissie Hynde should be quite proud of herself: The Pretenders self-titled debut, an uncontested kiss-off classic, is nearing its 25th birthday and still sounds just as relevant as ever. In the quarter-century since that release, the…
Lines are open at pizza hub
Just when you think the world has enough pizza parlors, along comes the downtown location of Donato’s Pizzeria (2520 S. Orange Ave., 407-841-9998) It’s a sit-down, drive-up, home-delivery kind of place, the ninth of the chain in the area, serving more than 19 topping combinations like Hawaiian, “vegy” and “mariachi beef,” including an apple or…
Intestinal fortuity
There’s something intrinsically loveable about the Scottish. Free of any modern political prominence, the culture is largely focused on symbolic pride. Be it kilts, strongman competitions, bagpipes or beer, Scottish heritage is some serious business. Hybrid musical act “Enter the Haggis” is likewise lovably businesslike, transforming traditional Scottish bagpipe music into a fuck-all, punk-pop celebration…

Would you FIB for the FBI
Last week, federal authorities were dealt an embarrassing blow in their immigration and money-laundering case against Jesse Maali, the Palestinian-American owner of the Big Bargain World and Sports Dominator store chains. Police admitted that stories of witness intimidation on the part of Maali’s family — including gun violence and acid bombings — had been wholly…
Students 1, cops 0
At about 1 p.m. on Jan. 9, three average-looking men knocked on the door of Tanner Thomas’ Winter Park apartment. Though it was early afternoon, Thomas had just got out of bed and was more interested in lunch than answering the door. One of the guys at the door was a tall black man; the…
SAFE (or else)
Jeffrey Henschel was going to die. It was a matter of when, not if. He needed help. Such was his mother Barbara Henschel’s frame of mind in 1999. In retrospect, says Barbara today, Jeff was a typical 13-year-old, perhaps a little moodier and more rebellious than most. And in retrospect, there was no reason to…
The family values tour
Politicians love to talk about families, but no candidate in the Orlando mayor’s race likes to talk about families more than Bill Sublette. During debates, Sublette returns to domestic life time and again, sometimes introducing his wife Suzanne and always reminding voters he has two daughters, Alex and Aubrey, 4 and 1 respectively, who help…
Cranky advocate returns
For those who think the Orlando Sentinel has too many columnists, you’re about to get one more. But Greg Dawson’s return will fill a much-needed spot at the paper: the resident eccentric. For the past 18 months Dawson has written a consumer column at the Indianapolis Star under the name Herbert Hoglebogle, an Ann Landers-esque…
What a pinhead
Welcome to my nightmare. Entombed in the Orange County Convention Center, I’m searching for “FX 2003 — The Collector’s Toy, Comic & Fantasy Convention” — and rattling with anxiety. You see, if there are three words I would name my children as a curse, were I forced to reproduce, they would be “Toy,” “Comic” and…
Fired-up firefighter
Springfield, Mass., firefighter John S. Marrero, 25, was fired in October, and superiors said it had nothing to do with the charges of possession of crack cocaine and Oxycontin filed against him (in that he is innocent until proven guilty of those charges). Rather, he was fired because he was caught smoking a cigarette when…
