Asleep at the Wheel returns to Concert Hall What: A live show from acclaimed Texas Western swing band Where: The Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College When: Wed., Aug. 13. Doors open at 7 p.m. Texas-based Western swing band returns to Durango this week, when Asleep at the Wheel takes the stage at the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College on Aug. 13. Since the early ’70s, Asleep at the Wheel has been credited as the most important force in sustaining the sound of Western swing. The band typically features between eight and 11 musicians, but front man Ray Benson has held Asleep at the Wheel together. Benson formed Asleep at the Wheel in Paw Paw, W.V., in 1970 playing straight-ahead country. He soon shifted to Western swing, thanks to the influences Merle Haggard and Commander Cody, and moved the band’s base to Austin. The band’s name is a reference not only to falling asleep while driving a vehicle, but to someone who is blissfully unaware of a dangerous situation. The nine-time Grammy Award-winning band has also been named “Best Country & Western Band” by Rolling Stone, as well as “Touring Band of the Year” by the Academy of Country Music. Showtime is at 8 p.m., with doors to the Concert Hall and concessions opening at 7 p.m. Tickets are available on the web at www.durangoconcerts.com, by calling 247-7657 or by visiting the Ticketing Services Office at 7th and Main Ave., behind Magpies.

‘Gonzo’ pays a visit to the Abbey Theatre What: “Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson” Where: The Abbey Theatre, 128 E. College When: Through August 14 at 4, 6:30, and 9 p.m. If you lived through or even heard of the ’60s, you owe it to yourself to see “Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.” The documentary by Alex Gibney is as much a portrait of the man as of an era. Guns and the American flag pepper the landscape of this film. Then there are Thompson’s famous sunglasses, motorcycles, cars and female cohorts as he rose to become the icon of countercultural craziness during the fevered ’60s and the troubled ’70s. The narrator, Johnny Depp, serves as Thompson’s voice and point of view: “We are a nation of 220 million car salesmen with enough money to buy guns.” Using archival footage, constantly overlaid with montages of Thompson at work on his old mechanical typewriter, Gibney’s film captures the speed, confusion and freedom of that tie-dyed era. Embedding himself with the Hell’s Angels, Thompson wrote his first big piece, which catapulted him to fame. Soon he was the dark darling of Rolling Stone Magazine. He teamed up with British illustrator Ralph Steadman to produce some of the most potent descriptions of American hypocrisy. That Thompson was portrayed as Death himself, seemed just the right touch. With the political riots of the ’60s and the subsequent Vietnam War, Thompson proclaimed the American Dream not only defiled, but dead – a fool’s memory. There are some uncomfortable parallels between the current presidential election and those of Thompson’s heyday. In 2005, Thompson committed suicide at his ranch near Aspen. The film ends with the spectacular blast of his ashes into the skies over Colorado. Of course, he planned it all himself. – Judith Reynolds
