Life in a Free Speech Zone
Those citizen-souls who wish to exercise that awkwardly phrased but clearly understandable First Amendment right: "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" find themselves zoned out of sight—if not out of mind—of their president here last week as elsewhere, with security considerations shielding the chief exec from demonstrations of dissent as well as from harm. Joe Tarr talks with some of those who thought they should be taken more or less seriously and allowed to show The Deevine W. their points of concern.

Citybeat
Benny Smith reports that WKGN-AM radio's newest format goes for an almost forgotten demographic that loves to dance, and Clint Casey sorts out the family ties that bind the Icearium together as West Knox's newest ice rink.
Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Knoxville Found.

Joe Sullivan sorts through the lingering fiscal challenges facing the state in Insights, Barry Henderson reminds Tennesseans to treat their new lottery with care in Editor's Corner, Jack Neely takes a longer view of the tradition of the Knoxville tamale in Secret History, Scott McNutt assesses the state of our civil rights, and Jack Mauro explains his peculiar affliction — a Yankee heritage.


The Real World for Music Majors
Paige M. Travis figures out how the stately halls of ol' UT prepare music students for careers on the other side of the hallowed hill.


Mike Gibson talks about the merits of Useless Songs with local icon Carl Snow, and the critics' darlings of My Morning Jacket push revved-up Americana rock for Matthew T. Everett.

Heather Joyner Spica is grateful for the quartet of Artists-In-Residence on display in the Biennial Exhibition at Ewing Gallery.
