5 great things to do this week

The Live Lion

Music on the Menu Live is an original music series hosted by Alan K. Stout which features local acts performing live inside Breakers at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. The free show is also simulcast live on 105 The River and 105theriver.net. This Tuesday, Feb. 3, from 7 to 8 p.m., the series will showcase George Wesley. George Wesley has written and performed his own music for more than four decades, creating many memorable songs influenced by the blend of rock and roll and Caribbean sounds. Through the years, Wesley has been featured at many festivals as well as playing the same stage with a long list of well known artists including The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Black Uhuru, Matisyahu, Culture, Mykal Rose, Judy Mowatt, Merl Saunders and more. For more information about upcoming shows, visit facebook.com/musiconthemenu. — tg Photo by KRIStEN MULLEN / thE CItIZENS’ VoICE

It’s been argued that the only art that fails is that which does not inspire a response in the viewer. In this light, the disputed canvas on which Serge spends a small fortune in Yasmina Reza’s play Art is defensible if only for the heated debate it causes. His friend, Marc, is horrified by the work, or a least at Serge’s purchase of it. Their mutual friend Yvan vacillates, caring more about maintaining the trio’s 15-year friendship than a white canvas marked with only a few lines. Newsweek praised their dialogue for “outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne.” Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble’s new production of the multiple award-winning 1994 “seriocomedy” opened last weekend under the direction of Richard Cannaday and continues through Feb. 1, with performances Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Alvina Krause Theatre. The show stars James Goode, Daniel Roth (pictured at left) and Andrew Hubatsek. Tickets are $26 or $22 for seniors or adults younger than 30 years of age and only $13 for students. Call (570) 784-8181 or email boxoffice@bte.org for reservations. — ag

The Dice Man

Considered America’s most controversial and outrageous comic of all time, Andrew “Dice” Clay brings his brand of humor to Mount Airy Casino in Mount Pocono, on Saturday, Jan. 31. Doors open at 7 p.m. with showtime at 8 p.m. Attendees must be 21 or older. Tickets start at $55 and are available at mountairycasino.com. Rising from the ranks of the New York and Los Angeles club scenes in the late 70s, “Dice” quickly became a hit for his crude style of comedy and foul language that sparked controversy among women’s rights groups and eventually led the comedian to be banned from radio and television shows. To date, Dice remains the only person ever permanently banned from MTV. At one point in his career, Clay was selling out more than 300 arenas coast to coast, a feat that included back-to-back nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Throughout thirty years in show business, Clay has released numerous albums, DVDs as well as appeared in television and movies (Blue Jasmine, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane). His autobiography, The Filthy Truth, was published in 2014. For more information, visit andrewdiceclayofficial.com. — tg

RoaD TRip

Bethlehem-based playwright Paul Kodiak carried the memory of a rundown Native American souvenir shop not far from the “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania” in Wellsboro in his head for years before tapping it for a script. Penned while he was still studying at Hunter College, The Dead Indian Museum went on to be read by multiple companies before winning the full-length production slot in the 2014 Shawnee Original Playwright Series competition. Describing his work as a “dark comedy about the right to sacred burial, and racial stereotyping,” in promotion for the show which opened at Shawnee Playhouse last weekend, Kodiak recalled that shop visit from 20 years that inspired him. It was “run by a heavy-set white woman with a Marge Simpson-like beehive hairdo. Inside were cheap stereotypical Indian souvenirs — rubber knives, bows and arrows with red rubber tips and the like. I began to wonder what a real Native American Indian would think of this bizarre place,” he said. The Dead Indian Musum continues through Feb. 8 under the direction of Gillian Turner with shows Fridays and Sundays at 2 p.m. and Saturdays at 7 p.m. Tickets are $19 or $16 for seniors and millitary. Call (570) 421-5093 for reservations or visit theshawneeplayhouse.com for more information. —ag

The Lehigh Valley’s own Craig Thatcher Band performs live this Saturday night, Jan. 31, at the F.M. Kirby Center’s “Live from the Chandelier Lobby” concert series. Thatcher’s sixpiece blues ensemble presents “Badge: An Eric Clapton Retrospective.” Thatcher and his band will offer fans a note-for-note recreation of Eric Clapton’s entire career, spanning from The Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Blues Breakers, Cream, Delaney and Bonnie & Friends, Blind Faith and Derek & The Dominoes to his solo career. Fans will hear Clapton’s classics, including “Layla,” “Sunshine of Your Love,” “Badge,” “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Lay Down Sally” and “Crossroads.” The Craig Thatcher Band has earned worldwide praise and many Lehigh Valley Music Awards for blending classic rock and blues standards with his own original music. Showtime is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 day of the show plus fees, and are on sale now at the Kirby Center box office, online at kirbycenter.org and by phone at (570) 826-1100.

CURTAIN CALL REV ThEATRE pREsENTs ToUChIER, fEELIER hAmLET

ne major character is dead before the play begins. Another eight will die before young prince Hamlet utters his final words — the rest is silence. The survivors threaten to kill themselves or act out murderous deeds, bury and carry the bodies while some of the most elegantly written existential questions are posed. Shakespeare’s Hamlet is about death. The yang to that yin is that the play is likewise about life and how to live in an irrational world populated with selfish human animals that might drive the best of us mad. Co-artistic director of REV Theatre Company Rudy Caporaso, who plays the title role in this weekend’s production at the Scranton Cultural Center, described Hamlet as a play about love. The company’s two-and-a-half hour edit of the show trims the political fat and focuses on the familial relationships. “I love the fact that the focus is on the relationships. For very specific instance, my relationship with my father is completely based in love,” Caporaso said during a rehearsal break last week. “Many productions have the ghost come in clanking, clunking armor and it’s all about fear and trepidation and that is not what we have going on. It’s about the intensity of father love.” In REV’s production, directed by co-artistic director Rosey Hay, Hamlet breaks the supernatural barrier, embracing the ghost of his father, literally clinging

to the murdered king. The focus on family dynamics, said Rosey Hay, helps REV’s high school audiences relate to this material they may not have had the opportunity to study in class. “He speaks to young people of things that they’re going through — love and grief and loss and betrayal and joy and ecstasy,” she said. “And I think it’s so crucial, particularly today when (face to the phone) ... they’re just not connecting with people.” “Once they realize it’s literally like prime TV — it’s about power and money and violence and love and passion, then (they) start getting into it,” Susanne Sulby said from experience watching her own teenaged children studying Shakespeare. Seeing it performed well, she said, complaints vanish as “you get the experience of the language actually penetrating you which is what its meant to do ... Spoken word is how we got from here to there.” Sulby plays Gertrude in the REV production. Previously she performed as the Player Queen at a now-defunct theater company in Philadelphia. She appreciates Hay’s edit not only for the emphasis on the family relationships and the struggle within the multiple families that are involved but for the increased efficiency of action. “It’s like a train that’s just moving and you’re headed toward the cliff and you’re going to end up

Director Rosey hay (right) speaks with actors Joseph Daniels and susanne sulby before running act one last week in rehearsal last week at shopland hall. Hamlet runs friday at 7 p.m. and saturday at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $16. Call (570) 344-1111 for details.

Top left: hamlet urges ophelia (Adair Arciero) toward a ‘nunnery’ before she collapses in pain and disappointment. going over it and you can’t — from my perspective, there is nothing I can do about it. It’s fascinating,” she said.” Hamlet was the first play actress Adair Arciero ever saw. Then she was only in the sixth grade; now she’s playing Ophelia. “Before we went and saw it we read it with our teacher. She won a state award for middle school teachers. She loved Shakespeare and so she decided to teach it and she put it in the curriculum. I don’t know how she got away with that, but it was amazing because we were able to read it as a class and dissect it and go see it. And from that point forward I fell in love with it. That was the first kind of exposure to theater that I had.” What makes Hamlet unique, suggested Hay, is that the play asks so many questions. “It’s the existential nature of questioning the main reason for existence. That’s the bottom line,” Caporaso added. This production marks the actors’ third time playing the role of the Prince. “You can go on playing it for eternity ... and still not get all of what’s there. It’s such a gift to be able to reinvestigate and not rediscover but discover new things.” “There’s so much mystery to it,” Hay continued. “Throughout the play, Hamlet says, ‘I can’t tell you. I don’t know. I’m not going to say anything. It’s going to be secret.’ And it seems to me that at the heart of this play there’s a great mystery about what makes this particular man tick. It’s a continual discovery.” “(He’s) struggling with making sense of betrayal and who’s your friend and who isn’t and who you can trust and who you can’t,” said Caporaso. Limited by budget despite a generous grant from the Willary Foundation, REV’s Elsinore boasts only 10 inhabitants.

“It’s a very small small town,” laughed Caporaso, “but what we’ve done is double so that actors can play other roles and I think the doubling gives it such resonance and significance.” Beyond the ghost of Hamlet’s father and Claudius being played by the same actor, which is not unusual although other productions will often have the Player King portray the ghost, REV’s adaptation doubles the roles of Laertes and Horatio with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. “These guys are tearing into this with two mouths so they’re having a great time,” Caporaso said. Local actors performing in the show include James McGurl, Brian McGurl and Virginia Rickard as the Players and Scranton School District teacher Robert Lozada as Polonius. REV Theatre Company is “thrilled” to now be working “in residence” at Shopland Hall on the fourth floor of the Scranton Cultural Center and is looking to produce Macbeth next year. Before that REV will present the musical Cabaret this spring. “We’re so grateful Dawn McGurl saw our work and believed in us and said, ‘Do you want to be the resident company,” Caporoso said. “The community has been fantastic to us.”

ROYAL PUB CRAWL

THE KOOKS — Listen THE GOOD: British indie rockers the Kooks come back with a varied fourth. THE BAD: There are no GREAT Kooks albums. You take the good with the slightly stupid, hoping the former outnumbers the latter. THE NITTY GRITTY: Listen may not be the band’s best, but it is their most sonically interesting. Elements of gospel, hip-hop and soul seep into the usual Brit-rock mix, shaking up the foundations. Cuts like “Forgive and Forget” and “It Was London” come off like a more polished take on the Heavy. Tunes such as “Around Town” and “Dreams” float towards the sun; both somewhat mesmerizing and inspirational. Then you have your painfully misguided pieces like the shallow attempts at funk “Are We Electric” and “Sunrise;” a one-two punch that languishes instead of making your body move. “Sweet Emotion” recovers somewhat in the soul department, but even that jam doesn’t ring completely true. However, the boys score points for trying. BUY IT?: As always with the Kooks, that’s your call.

same backing musicians and self-produced again so the new record is a logical continuation. We get another collection of smart guitar pop/rock with Marr’s bold sense of melody and tasteful six-string prowess. Okay, Playland may not be the next Meat is Murder or The Queen is Dead, but then again … what is? BUY IT?: Sure.

JAMES — La Petite Mort THE GOOD: British indie legends James return with an accomplished eleventh. THE BAD: La Petite Mort loses steam across its second half, but the album never outright falters. THE NITTY GRITTY: Frontman Tim Booth and the boys have been making records for nearly three decades now, but they refuse to simply “coast.” (U2 could learn a thing or two from these guys.) Mort is a wondrous set, filled with bright melodies despite many lyrical bits of loss and dread (some of the album inspired by the death of Booth’s mother). The slowly building epic “Walk Like You” opens the set, completely enrapturing the listener. From there, the band delivers the makings of an underground dance anthem (“Curse Curse”), their usual brand of majestic pop (“Moving On”) and JOHNNY MARR — Playland some pulsating bits of tranquility (“InterrogaTHE GOOD: Ex-Smiths guitarist and cotion”). founder Johnny Marr returns with his second solo All of the music is achingly familiar yet this outing within two years. isn’t a group repeating themselves. James are THE BAD: Playland only hints at the greatness simply further developing a tried-and-true formula of the man’s past achievements, but it’s still a that has kept us mesmerized since the late ’80s. decent set. BUY IT?: Absolutely. THE NITTY GRITTY: Unlike his Smiths partner-in-gloom Morrissey, it took Marr over two decades to launch a proper solo career. Mike Evans Meanwhile, the guy kept busy floating in and out Mike Evans is a super cool of other bands and doing studio work (his guitar radio guy who doesn’t mess around when it comes to style very distinct and influential). But it wasn’t music. Sounds appears weekly until 2013’s The Messenger that we received an in electric city and diamond actual solo record. city.

The perfect wedding has to be perfectly planned

You’ve found your Prince Charming; he gave you a ring, and now you’re getting ready for the fairy tale wedding. It might be hard, but now is the time to stop dreaming and start preparing. On average, about one full year is necessary to look after all the details of your dream ceremony. There is a lot to think about and, more importantly, a lot of reservations to make!

Once the venue and caterer have been reserved, it’s time to find the right DJ to set the dance floor afire. If you opt for a more classical style of music, such as a string quartet, you should start looking even earlier; they are few and far between. You also need to book your professional photographer about six months before the wedding. You’ll be glad you bothered, when you’re leafing through your wedding album a few years down the road. And if you intend to go abroad for your honeymoon, book your tickets and hotel now. You’ll save precious dollars that can be invested instead in the decoration of your reception hall or in buying favours for your guests.

For example, if the wedding venue is booked only a few months before your big day, you may end up having to make compromises on such important details as the date or the services on offer. The same thing applies to the caterer. Supplying your guests with good food is paramount at a wedding. The company you were hoping to hire may no longer Where weddings are concerned, the rule is simple: be available if you only call a few weeks before the make all your reservations well in advance so you event. can get the top-quality professionals you want.

It isn’t just a myth — the church and reception hall might need to be reserved a year in advance.

(Fargo’s The Forum) overCome by teChnology A New Zealand couple spent nearly 13 hours trapped in their new “keyless” car in their garage. Brain and Mollieanne Smith had left the car’s instruction manual in their Alexandra home and the transponder outside the car when they realized that without the transponder, they couldn’t start the engine to unlock the power doors. They tried to attract attention by honking the horn and then tried smashing a window with a car jack. Neighbors found them the next morning with only enough air left to survive for less than an hour, emergency workers told Mollieanne Smith, 65, who was hospitalized for three days. After their rescue, Brian Smith, 68, learned that the door could have been unlocked manually. “Once I found out how simple it was to unlock it, I kicked myself that I did not find the way out,” he said.

Phil Pavlov said. Concerned that anti-hunting groups might also use drones to interfere with hunting, lawmakers are considering companion legislation to ban the use of drones to harass or interfere with hunters.

Claiming to have “the world’s first subconscious menu,” Pizza Hut incorporated retinascanning technology and “psychological research” to create a special eye-tracking tablet at its 300 locations across the United Kingdom. The digital menu shows 20 toppings and computes orders based on which ones the customer looks at the longest. “Finally, the indecisive orderer and the prolonged menu peruser can cut time and always get it right, so that the focus of dining can be the most important part: the enjoyment of eating,” a Pizza Hut official said, noting that the menus feature a “restart” button to ensure accuracy. U.K. customers can also order directly from Domino’s by using the voice-ordering function of its mobile app. Xbox One gamers can order by announcing “Domino’s, feed me,” to the voice-activated console, which then places the order.

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Black or White Kevin Costner, Octavia Spencer In this PG-13-rated drama, a grieving widower (Costner) gets drawn into a custody battle over his granddaughter, whom he helped raise her entire life. The Plus: The comeback. Oscar winning director Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves) was once the one of the most bankable starts in H’Wood (The Untouchables, Field of Dreams, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, JFK, The Bodyguard). After years of running cold at the box office (Mr. Brooks, Swing Vote, The Company Men), however, he again garnered decent reviews and grosses for both 2013’s Man of Steel and 2014’s Draft Day. In addition to Costner, Mike Binder (Reign Over Me) directs a cast that includes Octavia Spencer (Get on Up), Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Jennifer Ehle (RoboCop) Andre Holland (Cinemax’s The Knick) and Gillian Jacobs (NBC’s Community). The Minus: The reality. It seems like it was just last year that this column raved about Kevin Costner being the best part of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and deserving another shot at leading man status … and this comeback resulted in the god-awful 3 Days to Kill. Though Costner certainly deserves a Liam Neeson-style career rejuvenation (Taken, Non-Stop), 3 Days to Kill shows evidence that he’s not being too choosy script-wise.

American Sniper Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller HHHH — American Bustle Taking aim at realizing it’s real-life subject to a harrowingly true degree, Clint Eastwood’s straight-shooting bio-pic presents powerful storytelling and hero worship in equal measure thanks to a compelling central figure. In this R-rated true story, the legendary director recounts Navy S.E.A.L. Chris Kyle’s (Cooper) military career, which includes more than 150 confirmed kills. Sure, the film unapologetically waves a patriotic flag (in the hands of a more left-leaning director, American Sniper might have emerged as a tsk tsk cautionary tale), but Jason Hall’s script deftly puts forth the book’s War is Hell moments. Yes, there’s a sobering emotional toll and high body count, but the titular character sometimes comes across as selfish for signing up for more tours of duty while his family waits for him on the homefront. Ultimately, however, Eastwood’s film romanticizes nationalism as much as Kyle, which might divide some viewers. Whether or not you agree with this political bent, the film takes a stand rather than beat around an objective bush, which drives home the true story all the more. This happened; Kyle was a proud soldier; film reflects life.

Project Almanac Amy Landecker, Sofia Black-D’Elia In this PG-13-rated sci-fi thriller, a group of teens (Landecker, BlackD’Elia, etc.) discover secret plans of a time machine and construct one … only for things to spiral out of control. The Plus: The genre. Some found footage thrillers have a knack for becoming surprise hits. Last year, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, Devil’s Due, The Purge: Anarchy, Into the Storm and Ouija scared up some great box office grosses. The Minus: The odds. The Pyramid and The Quiet Ones, however, did not do nearly as well, giving credence to the fact that audiences are fickle when it comes to this sub-genre.

/ENTERTAINMENT

Selma David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo HHHH1/2 — Civil Righteous An electrifying presentation of real events that never feels like a history lesson, Selma’s authenticity and timeliness make for a rousing spectacle that feels present and not unreachably epic. Ava DuVernay’s PG-13-rated drama chronicles Martin Luther King Jr.’s (Oyelowo) campaign to secure equal voting rights via an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965. The director puts you wholly in the moment, never letting style (and the film boasts a good deal) get in the way of passing down an imperative piece of our country’s narrative. As realized by David Oyelowo in a brilliantly layered performance wrongly denied an Oscar nomination, Martin Luther King Jr. has never been represented on screen so letter perfectly. In fact, everybody from Carmen Ejogo, who looks like news footage of Coretta Scott King come to life to Tim Roth’s on-the-racistnose portrayal of George Wallace rings completely true … except for Tom Wilkinson as President Lyndon Johnson. Why DuVernay would go to extreme lengths to flawlessly present the events leading up to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and NOT have the actor nail down LBJ’s distinctive Texas drawl is beyond comprehension.

SMALL SCREENS

Mortdecai Johnny Depp, Gwenyth Paltrow H ½ — The Stink Panther A comedy that quickly elicits a lot of fear and loathing, Johnny Depp’s mortifying latest demonstrates his aptitude for gonzo character work and very little else. In this R-rated comedy, art dealer Charles Mortdecai (Depp) searches for a stolen painting that’s reportedly linked to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold. Mortdecai tries to be a lot of things but funny certainly isn’t one of them. Is Mortdecai a man-out-oftime like Austin Powers? Well, he speaks with an almost Victorian vernacular while throwback swinging ’60s music plays in the background ... but that’s not entirely it. Is Mortdecai aping Peter Sellers’ portrayal of putzing sleuth Inspector Cousteau? Well, he bumbles and pratfalls his way through a puzzler with similar results ... but that’s not entirely it either. Is Mortdecai perpetuating British stereotypes in an almost pantomime atmosphere? Well, the events play out like a live action cartoon with lots of potty humor and two Americans laying a practiced English accent on thick ... but that’s not entirely it at all. In fact, the movie ends up to be a miscalculated and sad attempt at incorporating all of these descriptions (think: Steve Martin’s godawful Pink Panther with Jackass-level dick and fart jokes) into a comedy that can’t pinpoint its audience. The buffoonish antics might appeal to kids if the R-rating didn’t keep them away. On the other hand, the adult material gets handled in a sophomoric manner better befitting a teenage sex comedy, so adults won’t warm to it either. The good news: Johnny Depp, the man who spun Captain Jack Sparrow the rascally pirate off of the page and onto the screen as a fey rock star and ardent fan favorite, still has it. The bad news: What ‘it’ is, however, is anybody’s guess. Oh, you can see how his characterization of dated, randy, dandy Charlie Mortdecai could be humorous ... in a Blake Edwards film 40 years ago. Here, even the very few parts holding a smidgen of laugh potential lack the proper pacing. Quicker editing and faster action could’ve saved some of the physical comedy. The rest, however, is beyond redemption. Worse, the production wastes the prodigious talents of Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Goldblum, who all must have lost a heinous bet.

dvd/dowNLoAd Pride Bill Nighy, Imedla Staunton HHHH — Heart O’ Mine A custom-made crowd pleaser brimming with good intentions, this Pride-ful presentation of oftentimes harrowing real events nonetheless ends up to be moving, earnest and oftentimes fun in all the right places even when you feel your strings being pulled. In this R-rated dramedy available on DVD and download, U.K. gay activists work to help miners during their lengthy strike of the National Union of Mineworkers in the summer of 1984. An unlikely true story of an unlikely alliance that’s unlikely well done, Pride tells the plight of both striking Welsh miners and the beaten-down English homosexual community in equal and genuine measure. A heat-seeking crowd-pleaser, the film comes damn close to becoming mawkish without actually tipping over the edge. The climax, however, assumes a tone that feels a bit too cheeky. Regardless, the dynamite performances and rich storytelling always come across as truthful throughout this production, however manufactured it feels. Matthew Warchus deftly directs the goings-on with an almost nimble footed swagger, legitimately making your toes tap in a non-musical. It gets you to your feet, yes and a good deal of credit also goes to the screenwriter. Stephen Beresford’s script effortlessly hopscotches from bleak to hilarious moments and back again in a manner that somehow remains reverential to both.

Up Close & personal More Music — please! A singer. A songwriter. A guitarist. A ukuleleist. A solo artist. A member of the band Slow Children at Play — and, lately, a new duo called Please. These are all music titles that Clarks Summit local Paul LaQuintano devotes his time to in one way or another. LaQuintano’s music career continues burgeoning as he and his wife just kicked-off with their new duo — Please. Aptly named, Please should please many audiences who already follow LaQuintano’s solo and band works, especially when he aims to pull and use previous songs he’s done in putting together the duo’s duets. His music focus centers around “70s singer-songwriter” songs. When performing live he will produce songs that are 50 percent hits, 25 percent original music and 25 percent obscure cover songs. Meet Paul LaQuintano ... Tell us a little bit about yourself. I’m from Clarks Summit. I graduated from Abington Heights and then attended Southeastern College, a small college located in central Florida. I studied there for four years to become a minister, but decided it wasn’t for me. I just really didn’t want that career path anymore. Before I moved back to Pennsylvania in late 2000, I called some friends of mine and they convinced me to return home and to start a party band — RUST — together. That’s when I began playing music locally. We lasted from Nov. 2000 to Aug. 2001. Who or what initially inspired you to get into music? I think it was my parents. There was always music around our house. I grew up in Ransom, which is a really small country town out there. We didn’t get cable until probably 1989 or 1990. For entertainment, we’d either be watching one of three channels or playing records. When I was really little, we’d put a record on while we ate dinner. We’d listen to the A-side of the record as we ate. Then once dinner was over, Mom would wash the dishes and my dad and I would go into the living room and listen to the B-side of the same record. That’s where it all started.

Children at Play. Also, quite recently my wife and I began the duo, Please. I started playing solo after I met Bill Moore. I believe it was the band that played at McGrath’s Pub and Eatery in Dalton. They invited me to host an open mic night with Moore. He passed away more than ten years ago, but he taught me a great deal about showmanship and having fun playing alone and acoustic. I’m forever grateful to him. I discovered that I enjoyed playing solo just as much as I liked playing with a band. As far as what I’ve done solo, I released an album in 2005 titled Freedom Bridge. It’ll be turning ten this year. I recorded it in the Poconos with a group of very talented studio musicians. It was just such an incredible learning experience! It’s available on iTunes for anyone to purchase. You mentioned you are in a three-piece band called Slow Children at Play. Yes. My three-piece band, Slow Children at Play, consists of my wife, Dave Perrotti and myself. My wife is our bass player. Perrotti, who also teaches at Abington Heights Middle School, is our drummer. We are taking a break while we get the duo off the ground, but I’m sure we’ll return, probably in the summer.

Talk about Please. The duo, Please, is just my wife and me. It’s really nice because the song selection we have to work with is huge. Since my wife is in the band, we have all the band songs to choose from. We also have all of the songs that I play solo too, along with a bunch of duets we’re going to do. We’ll be able to vary the set list quite a bit every time we play. And we just started the duo this year. It seemed like the right time to do it. I’m not sure why we didn’t start it sooner. It’s something that was so obvious that we could do together. My wife loves music as much as I do. She plays the bass and sings as well. We have a huge song list that we can pull from and have been working on for the past 10 years. How did you come up with the names for both the band and the duo? The best man at my wedding, our good friend Doug, named our band Slow Children at Play because we took a ridiculously long time setting up and breaking down our equipment. But also, it’s nice to have the free advertisement on several street signs scattered throughout NEPA (laughs). And Please is simply sort of an amalgamation of my wife’s and my name. My name’s Paul and hers is Lisa. It’s no “Brangelina,” but it’s close. Tell us about your music style. What will you usually play for crowds?

For more on Paul LaQuintano, visit youtube.com/secapmusic, paullaquintano.bandcamp.com and facebook.com/Paullaquintanomusic. I play a lot of 70s singer-songwriter type of stuff — Cat Stevens, James Taylor, etc. And it’s for both my solo and duo work. I’ll pull songs from my playlist for the duo. Instrument wise, I play the guitar, dabble in the piano a little bit and play the ukulele. I’ll use them all with my work, but not the piano so much. I do use the string instruments more often.

game going on. It was surreal, having stopped performing and then being crowded together with people playing bingo for the little while. And then when I asked security if I could go back out to play, they let me,but told me it was up to me. I went back out and finished up the show in a hurricane, during a lightning storm. It was probably very dangerous, but it was a very memorable experience.

It’s one of those creative outlets that everyone needs to have. I mean you go out and pound nails all day and you have to come home and find a release whether it’s painting, reading or writing poetry or music — creativity, for me, is a muchrequired escape.

Playing With MisMatches I like this woman I’ve been seeing, but she’s really in love with me. I’ve been clear that I’m not ready to get more serious and that I’m really never going to be up for that with her. She’s chosen to stick around, but her best friend called me crying, saying I’m breaking her heart. (Yikes!) Is it wrong to stay with somebody whose feelings are much stronger than yours? — Troubled

from CrossFit.) I don’t have sleep apnea. And snore strips and bite guards are useless. (This is something I’ll eventually need surgery for.) I’m afraid my boyfriend won’t be so attracted to me once he hears my “night noises.” — Stressing

A guy will generally appreciate a woman who’s kind of a wild thing in bed — just not when he jolts awake to call animal control to show up with nets and a tranquilizer gun. She sees the two of you getting old together. Luckily, it doesn’t have to get to that point — if You see the two of you getting together for sex on Friday. The French make this sort of mismatch sound you and he can think a little differently about doing your sleeping in separate beds, which is supposedly sexy and fabulous, calling what she’s feeling “la the province of couples who last had sex when FDR douleur exquise” — the “exquisite pain” of wanting was in office. It’s actually that of couples looking somebody you can’t have. But look under the hood to wake up rested instead of exhausted. Though and you’ll see an ugly stew of hormones and the psychological gotchas called cognitive biases — un- romantic partners insisted to sleep researcher James conscious errors in reasoning — leading to an acute Horne that they sleep best when they share a bed, the squiggly line of his sleep-monitoring gizmo said case of adult-onset puppy love. otherwise, suggesting that separate beds make for Some would argue that this woman is worshipa far less interrupted night’s rest. (This is especially ping at your altar of her own free will (laying if not true for anyone with a partner who cage-fights in her crops and a goat at your feet, then undying love, Doritos and beer). The truth is, a cognitive bias called dreams, wakes up frequently to sleep-drive to Home the “sunk cost fallacy” probably has a good bit to do Depot, or snores like an asthmatic wolverine.) Because that which does not kill us can still scare with her sticking around. This describes our tendency to be irrational “investors” — deciding whether we’ll us awake — and because big scary facts tend to shrink to a more manageable size when revealed in continue putting time, energy and/or money into advance — you should tell the guy about your snorsomething based on what we’ve already put in. This ing instead of letting him find out. And because we is dumb, because our initial investment is gone and judge things by comparison, let him think the worst throwing in more whatever won’t change that. The — if only for a moment. Say, “There’s something rational approach would be basing our decision on what kind of payoff we’re likely to see down the road.

Next, present late grandma’s living room couch. Love is not always 50/50, but it also shouldn’t be, the solution: doing the fun stuff together in the same bed but slumbering separately.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you have an entourage or posse that helps you work magic you can’t conjure up alone? Is there a group of co-conspirators that prods you to be brave and farseeing? If not, try to whip one up. And if you do have an inspirational crew, brainstorm about some new adventures for all of you to embark on. Scheme and dream about the smart risks and educational thrills you could attempt together. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you especially need the sparkle and rumble that a feisty band of allies can incite. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The cosmos seems to be granting you a license to be brazenly ambitious. I’m not sure how long this boost will last, so I suggest you capitalize on it while it’s surging. What achievement have you always felt insufficiently prepared or powerful to accomplish? What person or club or game have you considered to be out of your league? What issue have you feared was beyond your understanding? Rethink your assumptions. At least one of those “impossibilities” may be more possible than usual. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When I attended the University of California at Santa Cruz, my smartest friend was Gemini writer Clare Cavanagh. She headed off to Harvard for her graduate studies, and later became a pre-eminent translator of Polish poetry. Her work has been so skillful that Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet Czselaw Milosz selected her as his authorized biographer. Interviewing Milosz was a tough job, Clare told blogger Cynthia Haven. He was demanding. He insisted that she come up with “questions no one’s asked me yet.” And she did just that, of course. Formulating evocative questions is a Gemini specialty. I invite you to exercise that talent to the hilt in the coming week. It’s prime time for you to celebrate a Curiosity Festival.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,” writes poet John Ashbery, “at incredible speed, traveling day and night, through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes. But will he know where to find you, recognize you when he sees you, give you the thing he has for you?” This passage might not be literally true, Cancerian. There may be no special person who is headed your way from a great distance, driven by a rapt intention to offer you a blessing. But I think Ashbery’s scenario is accurate in a metaphorical way. Life is in fact working overtime to bring you gifts and help. Make sure you cooperate! Heighten your receptivity. Have a nice long talk with yourself, explaining why you deserve such beneficence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1768, Britain’s Royal Society commissioned navigator James Cook to lead a long naval voyage west to Tahiti, where he and his team were supposed to study the planet Venus as it made a rare transit across the face of the sun. But it turned out that task was a prelude. Once the transit was done, Cook opened the sealed orders he had been given before leaving England. They revealed a second, bigger assignment, kept secret until then: to reconnoiter the rumored continent that lay west of Tahiti. In the coming months, he became the first European to visit the east coast of Australia. I foresee a comparable progression for you, Leo. The task you’ve been working on lately has been a prelude. Soon you’ll receive your “sealed orders” for the next leg of your journey. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to computer security company Symantec, you’re not in major danger of contracting an online virus from a porn website. The risk is much greater when you visit religious websites. Why? They’re often built by inexperienced programmers, and as a result are more susceptible to hackers’ attacks. In the coming

the sometimes surprising revelations that emerge from you. They’ll give you new insights into yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s say you want to buy an 18-karat gold ring. To get that much gold, miners had to excavate and move six tons of rock. Then they doused the rock with poisonous cyanide, a chemical that’s necessary to extract the good stuff. In the process, they created toxic waste. Is the gold ring worth that much trouble? While you ponder that, let me ask you a different question. What if I told you that over the course of the next five months, you could do what’s necessary to obtain a metaphorical version of a gold ring? And although you would have to process the equivalent of six tons of raw material to get it, you wouldn’t have to use poison or make a mess. Would you do it? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1899, the King of the African nation of Swaziland died while dancing. His only son, Sobhuza, was soon crowned as his successor, despite being just four months old. It took a while for the new King to carry out his duties with aplomb, and he needed major guidance from his grandmother and uncle. Eventually he showed great aptitude for the job, though, and ruled until his death at age 83. I’m getting a Sobhuza-type vibe as I meditate on you, Aquarius. New power may come to you before you’re fully ready to wield it. But I have confidence you will grow into it, especially if you’re not shy about seeking help. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the 1951 animated movie version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice says to herself, “I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.” I hope you won’t be like her, Pisces. It’s an excellent time for you to heed your own good advice. In fact, I suspect that doing so will be crucial to your ability to make smart decisions and solve a knotty problem. This is one of those turning points when you really have to practice what you preach. You’ve got to walk your talk.

weeks, Virgo, there may be a similar principle at work in your life. I suspect you’re more likely to be undermined by nice, polite people than raw, rowdy folks. I’m not advising you to avoid the do-gooders and sweet faces. Just be careful that their naivete doesn’t cause problems. And in the meantime, check out what the raw, rowdy folks are up to. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Life has a big, tough assignment for you. Let’s hope you’re up for the challenge. There’s not much wiggle room, I’m afraid. Here it is: You must agree to experience more joy and pleasure. The quest for delight and enchantment has to rise to the top of your priority list. To be mildly entertained isn’t enough. To be satisfied with lukewarm arousal is forbidden. It’s your sacred duty to overflow with sweet fulfillment and interesting bliss. Find ways to make it happen! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may have never sampled the southeast Asian fruit called durian. It’s controversial. Some people regard it as the “king of fruits,” and describe its taste as sweet and delicious. Naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace said it was like “a rich custard highly flavored with almonds.” But other people find the durian unlikable, comparing its aroma to turpentine or decaying onions. TV chef Anthony Bourdain asserts that its “indescribable” taste is “something you will either love or despise.” I foresee the possibility that your imminent future will have metaphorical resemblances to the durian, Scorpio. My advice? Don’t take things personally. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Talking will be your art form in the coming week. It’ll be healing and catalytic. You could set personal records for most engaging phone conversations, emails, text messages, and face-to-face dialogs. The sheer intensity of your self-expression could intimidate some people, excite others, and generate shifts in your social life. Here are a few tips to ensure the best results. First, listen as passionately as you speak. Second, make it your intention to communicate, not just unload your thoughts. Tailor your messages for your specific audience. Third, reflect on
