‘Song of Hiawatha’: Film chronicles a Michigan counterculture maverick

If you’ve spent enough time around rock ‘n’ roll in southeastern Michigan, there’s a colorful figure you’ve invariably encountered at some point: Hiawatha Bailey. Bailey, 78, is one of the Motor City’s true originals, a gay Black man who’s been in the thick of the region’s counterculture from the ‘60s onward, entrenched in hippie radicalism and the later punk movement. Now, after years in the works, a documentary exploring his uncommon life has arrived: “The Song of Hiawatha: The Life and High Times of the First Black Hippie,” will make its local bow Friday (Nov. 6) at the Detroit Institute of Arts’ Detroit Film Theatre, three months after its world premiere in Austin. The evening promises to be “a real rock ‘n’ roll experience,” as organizers describe it, with a performance by the seminal Detroit punk band Cinecyde and an afterparty at the Old Miami in the Cass Corridor. Along with a gritty, high-octane Detroit rock soundtrack, the 1½-hour film features an array of high-profile Michigan artists and activists whose lives intersected with Bailey’s through the decades, including Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Wayne Kramer, John Sinclair, Niagara Detroit and Pun Plamondon. The freewheeling doc is a passion project of New

Basley, Smith ousted from Cromaine Library Board

Seven candidates competed for four seats on the Cromaine District Library Board on Nov. 3. The election was shaped by ongoing disputes over book challenges and the future direction of the organization. According to unofficial results, of those candidates, the winners were Ethan Hawker (16.17%), Nancy Rosso (16.08%), David MacGregor (14.31%) and Jeannine Gogoleski (13.92%). Three of those candidates — Hawker, Rosso and MacGregor — were backed by Cromaine for Everyone, a nonprofit organization that opposes censorship in libraries. The race came after a year of conflict over more than 200 books challenged at the library by a group of 12 individuals, who alleged the materials involved the “sexualization/exploitation of children.” In October 2025, trustees agreed to read all of the challenged books before making any decisions about where they should be shelved. However, officials abandoned that effort in May 2026 after reading 58. The rest of the books were moved to the adult section, unread. More: These candidates are hoping for a seat on the Cromaine Library Board The remaining candidates were incumbents Becky Basley and Dawn Smith and newcomer Griffin Wright, the latter of which was also backed by Cromaine for Everyone. — Contact reporter Tess Ware at

Northville Cemetery Massacre rolls onto Blu-ray in December

Northville Cemetery Massacre is a great motorcycle gang flick from the ’70s. The Spirits Motorcycle Club just wants to enjoy the wedding of two members, but the law keeps shutting down the fun. During one bust, a cop goes too far with a local girl and blames it on a gang member. This leads to local citizens wanting to forcibly shutdown the Spirts one bullet at a time. Northville Cemetery Massacre is one of the classics of the genre that flourished at the drive-ins. Now this classic film is getting released with even more footage of violence between the cops, the vigilantes and the gang. The movie’s score was created by Mike Nesmith of The Monkees. Here’s the press release from VCI Entertainment:
