Rehab closes tab on smut By ELAINE KELCN The Red & Buck Rehab is more than a prescription for chronic addiction: it is, apparently, a cure for doldrum Americana music. “Energy. That’s what Rehab is,” said band mem ber and emcee Demun Jones. Now known for their 2006 hit, “Bartender Song,” Rehab continues to tour and entertain outside of their Georgia home and fan base. Quite simply. Rehab is an amalgamation of south ern rock-tumed-hip-hop tumed-pop. It doesn’t make a lot of sense, it just works. But, Jones asserts. Rehab isn't simply a glori fied bar-band there is artistic value in Rehab’s music, and especially in Alexander’s lyrics. “Danny’s one of the greatest songwriters of our times,” Jones said. “Especially the stuff he doesn’t share with the world. His creativity is far more reaching.” The members of Rehab have indeed aged since first stepping on stage over a decade ago. Their audience, in turn, has aged as well, building families and leaving behind endless nights spent in bars for afternoons in min ivans. “[We realized] that you Take a shot and help Malawi By ADAM CARLSON The Red & Buck Dear Malawi: help is on the way. Earlier this fall, students in ECOL 3070 Environment and Humans decided they would work together to provide aid and assistance to the impoverished African country, one solar-powered lap top at a time. “We wanted to do something big, kind of past the University,” said junior eco nomics major Theresa Henry, who is co directing the project with Natasha Diaz, a senior majoring in math and biolo gy The origin of the group’s goal is slightly more com plicated, equally the product of sev eral circumstances at once: First, Henry and Diaz both have an interest in working for the betterment of Africa. Second, ECOL 3070 required a class project —and they knew it had to be something good follow ing the efforts of last spring’s class: SMART, which aimed to cut the campus energy bills. Finally, their professor’s son, Tomas Pickering, happened to be a mem ber of Peace Corps stationed in Malawi. “It just kind of all went together,” Diaz said. The class-wide decision was then made: the students would work together to help Malawi. Specifically, the group decided to produce instructional videos on a variety of essential everyday tasks: how to create and use compost piles; which nutrient-rich vegetables were Th* Red * Stack pubSahaa daSy During each eemaetor according to the Unhreraay echedule ids may be Meed Monday • Fnday 9a m spm n our oftca at Bader St or cat 433-3OTI art charge an your MaetorCard VISA, or Amencan Express Prepayment a requeed Ml can elao be fixed va torn to 433-3033 or e-maded to ctoeedadaßrartb com Classifieds Rates & Information PRIVATE PARTY RATE (Applies to individual person* only) (0-25 words) lt Day /Skip days 56.00 3 Comet uti vc Day* ..

And so with “Welcome Home,” Rehab’s seventh album, the content is more in tune with where the band, and its audience, is now rather than where it has been. “We tried to kind of make a more mature record,” Jones said. “[lt] doesn’t have anything sex ual or disrespectful to women, it’s not about being young and getting hammered.” The response to “Welcome Home,” initially a mixed bag, has proven to HAMUTATB FoU!. .It t IV, PnoBPCR I\/|s-4 1 \ f > • 20 | Housing IBR APTS W/ 1 MONTH FREE A NO PET FEE!

Though basic, the information provid ed can be life-saving. “The big thing in Malawi is they can’t work because they’re always going to funerals," Diaz said. In order to send their videos, the class videos,” Diaz said. There was only one problem. “But the difficult thing is how do we get the money?” Diaz said. To that end. the group has been set ting up percentage nights around Athens as well as soliciting donations firom family members, with a goal of raising $1,200. Additionally. Pickering will be ensuring the delivery of the goods to Malawi. With 24 students and less than three months to work with, it's been a lot of work in a small time span. “I think it’s because it’s for a good cause,” Diaz said. “Like, who doesn’t want to help little children in Afi-ica?” Classifieds 2BR APTS $560- $650 w/ 1 MONTH FREE!

Variety Editor’s Take Auburn Sitting in the loser's comer is starting to get a tad depressing. There’s hardly any sunlight, a constant draft chills my bones and I’m forced to stare at my nemesis five days a week through a tiny desk window as he fig ures out what new nois es he can come up with— anew, and very odd, thing that Dillard does. What’s even more dis couraging is that this was one of my better weeks. Zach demolished me by 48 points, though my total yards surpassed his ’by 48. It all comes down to turnovers, and it’s utter ly impossible to get momentum on your side when nobody on your team can hold on to the ball. I had four tumbles lost, and one that I was able to recover. It’s one thing to blow a game because of bad calls and a series of interceptions —but a tumble? Completely out of my hands. Literally. Not to mention Dillard got into an unstoppable frenzy of quick passes to the titan himself, A.J. Green. Seriously, A.J. If you haven't played as your self yet, you should. It’s mind-blowing. Maybe I’ll just look at this like a good thing. With Dillard all pleased with himself, he’s much more manageable at work. His true self really shines. As I write this, he’s bobbing his head to reg gae and looking at a video on You Tube about a crying baby. Last week I caught him looking up pictures of puppies on Google. He even said, “I don’t want one puppy. I want two.” That’s cute. Admit it. God forbid, if I were to actually beat Dillard, he’d probably overflow with hatred and want to cause one big scene. He’d probably grab a mic and post up with the “dead baby cam paign” at Tate. Don’t put it past him. There’s a touch of psycho in that blonde head. But all things consid ered, I can’t complain. It was three-meat stromboli day at the Tate Cafe. Here’s to you Dillard may your love for babies, puppies and head-bobbin’ Jamaican bring you immaculate joy. 50 | Aim 2005 VOLVO SEDAN S4O Black with grey interior. 64500 miles Tinted win dows.

Sports Editor’s Take Gkoki.ia Auburn fans have found another candidate for their long list of villains. Uga V secured his place when he attempted to cas trate Tiger receiver Robert Baker in 1996 during the “Miracle on the Plains" game. Alabama head coach Nick Saban has held a special place on the list for the past few years. And ESPN senior reporter and former Red & Black sports writer Mark Schlabach nestled himself Into position for his cover age of the Cameron “Six Fig” Newton story. And now, to all Tiger fans, I give you the most wretched of all: Joseph Williams. It was not enough for Mr. Williams to lose this game for Auburn —with evenly match teams at that —but it was the way he set about embarrassing the previously-undefeated University. But by virtue of his shortcomings on the virtual football field, Georgia fans finally have • reason to celebrate once again. No more embarrassing upsets. No more allowing 45 points to Idaho State. In short, no more Joe Williams. There was an air of con fidence when I found out that I would finally have the privilege of playing with the better team this week for just the third time in 12 games. Sure, Joe had Newton and his cronies. Sure, he had the better defense. But I had something Joe will never have in his life as a video game player or writer talent. And it was that irre placeable fact that made all the difference as the Bulldogs faced a team that could very well be the national champions in 2010. It was that irreplace able fact that allowed 90 points to rain down on Joe Williams' feeble attempts to prevent further scoring. It was that irreplace able fact that caused the scoreline you now see, despite spotting him three points seriously, I gave him a point spot when our game was restarted —and playing with a running clock in the entire second half. And it was that undeni able truth again talent that now has positioned Joe Williams on the most hated list of Auburn fans everywhere who read this publication. So scoot over Uga V and Saban, you have com pany. Sorry if he smells.
