EVERYONE’S A CRITIC
H.P. Lovecraft churned out fi ends
By Andrew Hamlin
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) lived whenever
possible in Providence, Rhode Island (although a short-lived marriage dragged him scraping and screeching to NYC for a jaunt). He grated through poverty, obscurity, frustration, nursing his personal obsessions and shaking his fist at a world he didn’t and couldn’t order. He wrote prose, poetry, and an overlooked bulk of journalism and nonfiction, almost all of it devoted to creeping, suffocating horror, too-sensitive and/or over-inquisitive folk pulling down the

fabric of sanity, emerging only on occasion with their own minds.
Lovecraft often dropped a hint of what lay beyond reason, but over time and tales, hints formed the shape of what his followers call the “Cthulhu Mythos.”

Return of the Gold Dust Woman
By Meghan Roos
Lovecraft’s poetry points to more palatable visions.
In brief: ancient monsters and wretched gods sit out there beyond time, space, and the human mind. Don’t wave. They might see you. Of course, somebody always got bold (or stupid). Lovecraft needed story upon which to pin his warning. A straight-up racist and snob, H.P. often blamed such demented meddling on lower bloods. We should never ignore this, but his poetry at least points to more palatable visions. Here, Graham Plowman’s music symbiotically swirls around William E. Hart’s tone of perpetual intrigue and, most shocking of all, exaltation: “…of a rift in the horizon’s wall/ Opening to worlds where only gods can be.” And those don’t signify gods of foulness, either. “Yet sunken deep where alien polyps throng/ The old towers miss their lost, remembered song.”
He churned out fiends. But he also waited, dreaming, of better things.

Stevie Nicks fans waited in anticipa- tion for months after an extension of Nicks’s 2016 tour was announced last fall. When her show arrived in San Diego at SDSU’s Viejas Arena on March 2, the performers were met with a packed house. After an opening set by Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders that was full of hits such as “Brass in Pocket” and “Talk of the Town,” the Gold Dust Woman appeared in her Bella Donna cape for a marathon
concert that was sprinkled with Fleetwood Mac staples (including fan favorites “Gold Dust Woman” and “Rhiannon”)
Nicks’s voice is similar to the pure, gravelly vocals that graced her debut solo record 36 years ago.
but composed mostly of solo material. Nicks performed her favorites throughout the night, calling Hynde back to the stage to share vocals for “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” Nicks’s first song with Tom Petty from 1981. Nicks’s voice is remarkably similar to the pure, gravelly vocals that graced her debut solo record nearly 36 years ago. The stadium cheered as she sang and narrated her songs, especially when the time came to end the more than two- hour-long set with a “Landslide” encore. We’re getting older, too, but Nicks sings as if the 1970s were only yesterday.
Concert: Stevie Nicks and the Pretenders Date: March 2 Venue: SDSU Viejas Arena Seats: Section B, aisle 24, seat 9
