The Mercury Cafe’s indomitable life force, Marilyn Megenity, has seen it all — good, bad and ugly — in the many years she’s been running the place. So if she personally endorses something, it’s gotta be good. Right now she’s touting the Middle Eastern Peace Dance, which is held the last Saturday of every month and features live music by Sherefe and the Habibis. It seems to encourage what Megenity calls “that old wild hippie freestyle,” a sweet-vibed communal phenomenon some of us haven’t seen since 1970 — give or take a few Phish concerts.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
