The Lords of 52nd Street

A group of musicians who backed Billy Joel on many of his recordings and tours take their sound to Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, May 11.

The band worked with Joel for more than a decade, recording the albums “The Stranger,” “52nd Street,” “Glass Houses” and “The Nylon Curtain” with the legendary Piano Man. With Joel, they toured around the world, performing at venues including Wembley Stadium, the Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall.

After 30 years apart and their induction into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, the Lords of 52nd Street reunited and continue to tour regularly.

Avoid sinister sun damage with these tips

W

hile basking in the sun has mental and emotional benefits, it can be sneakily sinister to our health.

In the final installment of my sun-protection series, Lackawanna Valley Dermatology certified physician assistant Kara Cordaro details the dangers of unprotected sun exposure, how to keep safe and what to do if you’ve had too much sun.

Q: A:

What can happen to our unprotected skin when exposed to the sun?

Dangers of being out in the sun unprotected include increased risk for sun damage that leads to pre-cancerous lesions; skin cancer; and pre-mature aging including wrinkles, age spots, loss of skin firmness and leathery skin.

If we’re planning to spend a day hiking, laying on the beach, etc., what should we do?

Apply sunscreen from head to toe. Wear a hat. Most men wear a baseball cap, but consider a wide-brimmed hat to be sure that all of the sensitive places of our head are protected. Wear hats to protect the scalp for those with thinning hair, but ultraviolet rays are also notorious for extra wear and tear on color-treated hair. UV-protective clothing is becoming more popular for infants and toddlers but is also a great idea for those with fair skin and those that forget or who don’t have the opportunity to re-apply sunscreen.

Are there any spots people typically miss when trying to protect themselves from the sun?

Don’t forget the other delicate areas including lips, ears and toes. In the dermatology office, it’s crazy how many pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions we find on the lips. Chapstick with SPF is a lifesaver. The combination of salt secretion from sweat mixed with UV radiation (plus being in a body of water) makes the lips burn that much quicker. Sunglasses are another area people tend to forget about. UV damage also is very dangerous for our eyes. The best protection will be found in a pair of polarized

Q: A:

Q: A:

sunglasses. They’re a little more pricey, but your eyes will thank you for it.

Let’s say someone works an office job where they’re inside all day.

Should they take any sun precautions?

People that work in an office environment should consider where their cubicle or desk is placed. If you are anywhere near a window, please use sun precautions. UV rays penetrate though clouds and also windows. The side of the body facing the window is more likely to burn and, in turn, develop pre-mature aging, so always be prepared if working in an environment like this.

Is there anything we can do to help reverse sun damage?

Although we don’t have a time machine to reverse unprotected sun exposure, sun damage is accumulative, so it is never too late to start a sunscreen routine.

Sunscreen should also be used every day, and a few of my favorite are brands Blue Lizard, Vanicream and Elta MD (best for those with sensitive skin and also comes in a tinted shade). Next, the use of antioxidants, such as pure vitamin C, is another way to prevent sun damage, help brighten skin tone and stimulate collagen production to help with the prevention and healing of fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots. Layering vitamin C under sunscreen also can help better protect the skin. Lastly, the use of exfoliation. Exfoliation will help remove the dead, sun-damaged skin cells sitting on the top layer which, in turn, allows healthy cells to come to the surface. Exfoliation can be performed at home in the form of scrubs or with in-office procedures. Microdermabrasion (a non-invasive procedure that uses tiny crystals to remove the layer of dead skin) is an option, as well as chemical peels, like the glycolic acid peels I perform. Exfoliation should be done in moderation, however, as over-exfoliation can lead to irritation and inflammation. These are by no means overnight cures for bringing back baby skin, but with persistence and patience, you can be on your way back to a healthy, happy — nonleathery — glow.

Piccottis twist tradition with launch of Doc Dougherty’s

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

T

he space at 1243 Capouse Ave. in the Pine Brook section of Scranton has been home to restaurants held by Doughertys for more than 100 years.

After being passed down through generations, the final incarnation — Dougherty’s Restaurant — stayed in the hands of Joseph Dougherty Jr. for nearly 67 years until his retirement about five years ago.

The building then was leased to other endeavors, but when a vacancy recently happened, Dougher ty’s daughter Margaret and her husband, Eric Piccotti — themselves seasoned restaurateurs — thought it only seemed right to step in and put their own spin on the family business.

“The opportunity presented itself, so we approached Mom and Dad and threw our hat in the ring, so to speak,” Eric Piccotti said.

“We wanted to continue the tradition and resurrect the Dougherty brand,” he added, pointing to the restaurant’s logo, “Serving the Next Generation.”

To honor the heritage of the place, they renamed it Doc Dougherty’s — “It was a nobrainer,” Piccotti said — and introduced a continental menu with Italian flair, setting them apart from the previous versions, which focused on classic breakfasts and lunches.

Open for lunch and dinner, its signature dishes now include the Delmonico Sandwich, Seafood Fra Diavolo, Mixed Grill Calabrese and the Stuffed Pork Chop, and for dessert, homemade creations such as Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. “We wanted to continue the Dougherty spirit but with our modern-day menu,” Piccotti explained.

WITH EMMA BLACK

Lyndsey Hughes has always enjoyed making things out of whatever she could get her hands on. The passion to create led her to found Lyndsey Hughes Designs and Illustrations, for which she is owner and operator.

She enjoys adding color to her art and life with the simple swipe of a paintbrush, and she also designs stickers, clothing and home decor decals, among many other projects.

Hughes is a graduate of Western Wayne High School and studied fine art at Keystone College. She is an administrative assistant at Center City Print. She and her husband, Chris, live in Scranton with their kids, Taryn and John.

Meet Lyndsey Hughes...

Q: A:

After entering college to study fine arts, you walked away from art for a while. What happened?

I studied for a year at Keystone, and there was something about art school that either you thrive or it sort of sucks it out of you. I ended up having my daughter after that year at Keystone and took the next five years to raise the kids. I had spare time again and started painting all over again.

Even just between when I started painting then and now, the internet is great. You can see other artists’ processes, and I’ve grown just in the last few years alone.

ferent line weights and the colors can be nice and bold. When I was little, my dad was a tattoo artist, and I got to see things like that. I feel like it all factored in. My grandmother worked for a paper company. She brought home crates of paper. All the kids were at her house, and there was always paper there so we’d make things.

Q: A:

Can you describe some of your projects?

Because of the stuff that’s more tattoolike with the lines, I thought I could make stickers of all these. I started putting stickers on things. I put them on glass, then started painting them in. I thought it was all cute, kitschy stuff you’d see on Pinterest, or Etsy people will like this.

Q: A:

What has been your project favorite and why?

Watercolor. It’s fun because it’s kind of controlled chaos. It will do what it wants unless you put it on super thick. I thin it out like crazy. It’s layers and layers, I get the paper wet and let it flow and do its thing.

Q: A:

You also do designs on clothing.

I’m getting more into it. I hand-draw everything on my tablet, then I’ll watercolor it on paper afterward. I print it all on my watercolor paper and fill it in, then I re-scan and edit in Photoshop and turn it into T-shirts. It’s direct to garment printing. It’s just like a printer and how you put a piece of paper in, but you put a shirt in instead.

Q: A:

Having left art with a bad flavor in your mouth, what made you get back into it?

I needed to do something for myself, and I didn’t know what. I found some of my old art supplies and just started going at it again. It kicked right back in, and it was fun so I kept going.

Q:

Q: A:

Q: A:

Describe your style as an artist.

I mostly do watercolors. I like mermaids. I know they’re kind of cliche at this point. “The Little Mermaid” came out when I was little, and it was finally a redheaded princess. I did a lot of mermaids, and now I’m getting into oil paintings. I studied a lot of Alphonse Mucha. He was a turn-of-thecentury painter. France loved him. I like his style. He did oil, watercolor, posters. It’s really detailed. I just love the turn-of-the-century stuff, back around the Victorian era and the mix of ink and watercolor. The more vintage it feels, the more I like it. I like old-school vibes. Some of my stuff is almost tattooinspired. I like how you can play with the dif-

What message do you hope to communicate through your artwork, especially the slogans on your home decor?

I always kind of do it tongue-andcheek. Life is way too serious. Have a bit of fun. I’m a sucker for bad puns and making everything light-hearted.

A:

What is one way art has positively affected your life?

I’m one of the many people who has been diagnosed with anxiety. To be able to put things out there that just make you laugh and say, “This isn’t so bad,” and the process of creating them, I can just zone out for a while and not stress about this little thing that’s eating at me, it’ll be OK. It’s my Zen. I make things, I make a giant mess, and then I’m OK.

Q: A: fact?

writer. In middle school, I had a couple poems put out in a national publication. I don’t know where they are or the names of the books at this point. I can barely write a grocery list now, but I’m a published poet.

Go figure.

Q: A:

And I hear you used to raise peacocks?

I raised peacocks as a kid. I had them as pets, and they were always around the house. My dad grew up on a farm; my mom didn’t. So we slowly acquired little animals. It started off with just a few chickens and rabbits. My mom said she wanted a peacock, so my dad came home with a peacock.

Then my mom wanted a female (peahen), so my dad came home with a female (peahen).

We also ended up with a pair of white peacocks. They’re easy to take care of. ... One of the things about growing up in the middle of nowhere is you have space for all these strange animals.

Q: A:

Are you part of any community groups or organizations?

I’m not really part of any group or organization, but I’ve had a lot of random people who know I do artwork ask me to donate stuff to fundraisers. ...

I’ll definitely give things away like prints or baskets for my kids’ schools when they do fundraisers.

Q: A:

What other hobbies do you have?

I like to cook, and I love to bake. In the winter I bake a lot; I don’t like turning the oven on in the summer. I also knit. I’ve knitted socks, sweaters, slippers. I make stuff.

Q: A:

Can you pinpoint an event in your life that helped shape the person you are today?

My family has always been very relaxed and open about stuff. We’ve always been very accepting for growing up in a little corner of Pennsylvania. Me and my sisters have always traveled if we can; (we) try as many foods as we can, meet as many different people as we can, and we’ve always been very open. There’s always something to learn. I think just being open, it’s hard to change your view because you’re open to everything.

I have ideas, but I usually don’t have anything that’s so firm that it’s going to shift drastically. I go with the change.

Mother of all weekends

Celebrate mom with offbeat activities across NEPA

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

M

oms deserve credit for all their hard work and the love they give year-round, but with Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 12, there’s plenty to do this weekend in Northeast Pennsylvania to show how much you care.

We’ve rounded up some out-of-the-box ideas for ways to celebrate the moms and motherly women in your life.

On Friday, May 10, drop in at the Greenhouse Project at Nay Aug Park, 500 Arthur Ave., Scranton, for a Mother’s Day Succulent Make and Take. Join staffer Carol

between 2 and 4 p.m. to create an arrangement as a surprise or with the special mom in your life. The project uses upcycled items for the pots, with a minimum $5 donation suggested to cover soil and plant costs. The greenhouse also will have a wide variety of additional succulents available for purchase, including pre-made arrangements in decorative containers for those who don’t have time to stop in and make their own.

Support first responders by shopping for a unique Mother’s Day gift at the inaugural Mother’s Day Craft Show set for Saturday, May

11, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Dickson City Emergency Medical Services, 2 Eagle Lane. Admission is $2.

Enjoy the bounty of Mother Nature with a Mother’s Day Paddle hosted by Susquehanna Kayak and Canoe Rentals, 2374 Sullivan Trail, Falls Twp. On May 11 and 12, starting at 8 a.m. both days, bring your mom along for a scenic journey on the waterway. Moms paddle for free with a party of four, with trips starting at $45 per person.

from 5 to 8 p.m. Reservations are required for kayaking (call 570-388-6107) and are suggested for brunch and dinner, too (call 570-388-2511).

Looking for something really different? Treat mom to ringside seats at the Mother’s Day Melee on May 11, when Back Breakers Entertainment comes to Falcon’s Nest, 403 Hudson St., Mayfield. At its first show outside the Back Breakers Training Center, see BBE and BBTC students and wrestlers, including Carver Cross, Coach Cal, Rex Taylor, Alexander Bateman, Cyrus Mars, Adena Steele, Harszang, Trevor Trudeau, Tucker Riley, Demitrius Raid and Rodd Wylder as well as a variety of local independent stars, including Clay Drasher, Ken Andrews, Jak Molsonn, Danny Hamel, Kimberly Spirit, Zac Belmont, Karlo Vice and many more. The night also promises a Battle Royale for the No. 1 contender’s spot, the winner of which will then face off against BBE’s Squid Sterling for the BBE Heavyweight Championship during the main event of the night.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with bell at 7. Ringside tickets cost $20, and general admission is $15. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Falcon’s Nest, online at http://bbemelee. bpt.me or at the door.

It takes a village to raise a child, and so Misericordia University, Dallas, will host its fourth annual Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch to benefit the student mothers of the Ruth Matthews Bourger Women with Children Program on May 12 in Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall.

Proceeds will help provide tuition support for student mothers in the program.

‘Long Shot’ a cheerfully raunchy, entertaining comedy

T

hat title is a double entendre.

Wait, maybe it’s a triple entendre.

This I know for sure: There’s no way I can get into any kind of detail about one particular entendre — and that’s just fine by me.

In the cheerfully raunchy, entertainingly weird, scattershot slapstick comedy “Long Shot,” Charlize Theron’s Charlotte Field is a widely respected secretary of state with impressive credentials, but when Charlotte announces her candidacy for president, she’s regarded as something of a long shot, given her inability to connect with the average voter on a human level, coupled with the fact the country has never elected a woman. (How’s that working out, country?)

Then there’s Seth Rogen’s dorky, awkward, goofy but passionately dedicated liberal journalist who is hired to punch up Charlotte’s wonky speeches and help her come across as more relatable.

There’s a certain something between Fred and Charlotte, but to say Fred is a long-shot candidate to become Charlotte’s romantic interest is an understatement.

Finally, there’s another kind of long shot, a very different type of long shot, and I think we should just leave it at that.

Seth Rogen is one of the most acutely self-aware comedy hyphenates of his generation, and he’d be the first to tell you there’s something intrinsically funny about a blocky, bespectacled, fashionbackward, in-need-of-a-mangroomer guy romantically paired up with the likes of Katherine Heigl (“Knocked Up”), Rose Byr ne (the “Neighbors” movies) and now Charlize Theron.

Of course he’s out of his league. That’s the launching

point for the laughs.

And yet there’s a certain vulnerability and intelligence, and a respectful and self-deprecating aspect to Rogen’s on-screen persona that makes these male-fantasy romances seem at least semi-plausible.

Though “Long Shot” has its moments of relevant social commentary, the first sign we shouldn’t take any of this too seriously is the name of Rogen’s character: Fred Flarsky.

Local morning TV clowns in the 1960s had more subtle names than Fred Flarsky.

Fred is a gifted writer and committed journalist-advo-

Stars: Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen Rated: R for strong sexual content, language throughout and some drug use Running time: 125 min.

Grade: ★★★ (out of four) cate working for a far-left, Brooklyn-based publication, but when a giant, conservative media conglomerate gobbles up the paper, Fred quits on the spot, even though he’s broke and has no other prospects.

Good thing for Fred (and for the plot), his best friend, Lance (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), a wealthy startup exec, has just the remedy for Fred to forget his troubles, at least for one night: He’s going to take Fred to an elite Manhattan gala headlined by Boyz II Men (played, quite convinc-

ingly, by Boyz II Men).

The star guest at the gala is Charlotte Field, looking so regal and perfect we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Guardians of the Galaxy working as her security detail.

Charlotte sees this loud, boorish, underdressed, unruly guy causing trouble at the party, and wonders why he seems so familiar.

Turns out Charlotte used to baby-sit Fred when she was an idealistic, politically active teenager and he was a smitten adolescent.

They haven’t spoken in some 20 years, but seeing as how Charlotte’s pollsters are saying her public profile could use an injection of humor and humanity, and Fred is a manof-the-people wordsmith who happens to be unemployed, here’s an idea: How about Charlotte hires Fred as a speechwriter!

Imagine the hijinks as the windbreaker-clad, wide-eyed F red accompanies the sophisticated Charlotte and her team as they embark on a worldwide tour designed to lock in support for a landmark environmental initiative. Imagine the unlikely and yet sweet romance developing between Fred and Charlotte, who begins to feel as if Fred is the only person who truly gets her.

It’s “Notting Hill” meets “Dave” meets “Pretty Woman.”

At times, “Long Shot” takes a big comedic swing, and the result is less than a home run. Theron and Rogen fully commit to an extended and quite ridiculous sequence in which Fred and Charlotte go clubbing and do Molly, and then Charlotte is called in to negotiate an international crisis, and we find ourselves in a military “drama” hardly more plausible than “Stripes.”

This is the kind of comfort-comedy movie where it’s a given we’ll be treated to a number of juicy supporting star-turn performances, in this case Bob Odenkirk as a dimwit POTUS who played the POTUS on a “West Wing’style TV show before becoming the actual POTUS; Andy Serkis as a Jabba-the-Huttlike conservative media mogul; June Diane Raphael as Charlotte’s ruthlessly ambitious right-hand person, and Alexander Skarsgard as the prime minister of Canada, who is as handsome and empty and narcissistic as a clueless prince in a fairy tale.

Ultimately, though, it all comes down to those two leads.

Fortunately, Theron has enough comedic chops to support that pretty boy Rogen.

RICHARD ROEPER reviews movies for The Chicago SunTimes. Distributed by Universal Press Syndicate.

Mini movies Avengers: Endgame: Amid all the soaring and the blasting, this superhero adventure for the ages is a genuinely moving drama involving characters we’ve come to know and love.

It’s a serious contender to be the best of the Marvel series and the undisputed champion when it comes to emotional punch. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language. 182 minutes. ★★★★ — RICHARD ROEPER

The Curse of La Llorona: A hissing, pasty-faced zombieghost targets the children of a social worker (Linda Cardellini) in the latest addition to the Conjuring Universe. But any hopes of a creepy horror gem are dashed by the overacting, clumsy plot machinations and cliche-riddled “Gotcha!” moments. Rated R for violence and terror. 93 minutes. ★ 1/2 — RICHARD ROEPER

Hellboy: In an R-rated reboot, David Harbour disappears into the red skin, hulking physique and sawed-off horns of the monster hunter Hellboy.

There’s so much emphasis on hard-R violence in this blood-spattered, bone-cracking, resoundingly tedious mess, it’s as if story and character and involving storylines were left back in the trailer. Rated R for strong bloody violence and gore throughout, and language.

120 minutes. ★ 1/2 — RICHARD ROEPER

Little: A stressed-out woman is magically transformed back into her carefree younger self.

With Regina Hall, Issa Rae, Marsai Martin, Tone Bell, Justin Hartley. Written by Tina Gordon, Tracy Oliver; story by Oliver. Directed by Gordon.

Rated PG-13. 109 mintues.

Then, revisit Case Quattro at its Dunmore location.

The trail incorporates craft meads and ciders along with wines at Dunmore’s Space Time Mead & Cider Works before heading to downtown Scranton’s Center City Wine Cellar in the Marketplace at Steamtown. A short distance away in West Side, Lucchi Family Wine Cellars showcases the art of homemade winemaking for visitors before they move down the line to Talerico’s Tropical Winery in Taylor and Mucciolo Family Wines in Old Forge, which is housed in a renovated 1920s general store. The trail ends with Wood Winery in Madison Twp., where guests can enjoy small-batch wines made at the Wood family home.

“People will see what we have to offer, including these wonderful wineries with amazing traditions and heritage,” Camoni said. “Most are bringing family recipes from a

very, very long and historic tradition.

“The wine and food stems back generations, and it’s just really quality,” he added. “We want to bring attention to it and spread the word. It helps tourism and hospitality, which helps economics.”

Lucchi agreed, explaining that the wine trail creates a logistical framework for tourists visiting the area from the Poconos and beyond.

“Instead of running up to the Finger Lakes, enjoy what’s in your backyard,” Lucchi said. “It opens up the public to experience what they have here. It’s good all around.

“It’s trickle-down economics,” he added. “People stay in the hotels; they go out and sample local restaurants. It’s nice. It’s a win-win for the whole entire area.” contact the writer: pwilding@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-

Liquid BY JAMES CRANE

Granola key ingredient in Grateful Dead-inspired brew This beer is the biggest cliche of any beer ever.

It should be noted that I never much cared for the Grateful Dead. I’m not hating or anything. To each their own. For myself, however, I just couldn’t get into them despite my jam band-loving friends. I generally wanted a little more bite than it had to offer.

I have to admit, though, that the band’s legacy lives on. Deadheads are just as committed as ever. They still talk about their favorite Dead shows and swear there is nothing else like it. For the amount of community and devotion the band generated, they might just be onto something. People would follow the band around the country, hanging out in the parking lot. They’d get by selling crafts and simple food.

The snack most associated with the band? Granola.

Granola is basically toasted oats with other stuff. It travels well and is relatively hardy and nutritious. Combine that with a pretty good shelf life, and you have a Deadhead’s favorite snack. You know what else you can do with toasted oats other than throwing them in your

mouth? You can throw them in beer.

Dogfish Head figured this out.

When it wanted to make a beer tribute to the Grateful Dead, it asked people what ingredients they’d like to see. Granola was on the top of the list. Throw it in a brew with honey, barley, and hops, and you have the Deadhead-themed brew American Beauty, named after the band’s fifth album.

The brew poured a really pretty golden color. It was a striking hue with a good amount of bubbles rising through it. There wasn’t much of a head, but what thin foam there was stayed for the entirety and left delicate lacing down the sides of the glass. Beauty certainly was a relevant descriptor.

It has a really nice toasty smell to it, which I’m sure came from the oats. The brew had hints of grass, caramel and hops. The thing that really surprised me was how much I could smell the honey. It’s the only beer I can remember that really has that sticky honey scent to it, which was quite novel.

I expected the taste to be a lot sweeter than it was, but it actually was quite dry instead. The malt was very present

in the form of grape nuts. That nutty flavor lingered on the tongue long after the swallow and flowed nicely into the slightly bitter hop finish.

The more of it I drank, the more the sweetness came out. It wasn’t cloying or over done, instead showcasing more of the taste of honey instead of just sugar.

That combined with the rising oat presence to turn that grape nut finish into something akin to a Nature’s Valley granola bar. I’ve always found them bland in a pleasing way, and this beer was similar in that respect. Mix all that with just a touch of citrus, and you have an American Beauty.

I’d like to say this brew is going to make me give the G r at e fu l D e ad a n o th e r chance. It’s not. It does remind me that I generally like Dogfish Head brews, though, and I probably should get some more. That’s the real takeaway here: good beer is good.

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK Portugal’s other offerings give new flavor experience While forever associated with the sweet, alcohol-fortified wine Port, the nation of Portugal has so much more to offer.

Many of the indigenous grapes used in Port, which can be both red and white, also are used in dry table wines. According to Wines of Portugal, 78 percent of the nation’s exports are non-fortified wines — the sort you would have with dinner or to unwind.

The names of the grapes are very specific to Portugal and don’t mean too much outside of the country. Also, as with Port production, the wines tend to be blends of several grapes.

But these grapes little-known outside the Iberian Peninsula offer a new experience of flavor when made as dry food wines. With so little recognition in a competitive wine world, the wines of Portugal are also very affordable.

The popular, approachable white of Portugal is the vinho verde, or “green wine.” The light, low-alcohol, often spritzy, refreshing

white wine is an ideal summer libation. With alcohol levels of less than 10%, vinho verde is a great choice for those who want to be careful about over-indulging.

The slightly spritzy Arca Nova 2017 Vinho Verde is dry with a lemon, lime and green apple character. Having drunk gallons of the 2016 version, I can confidently say that 2017 is not quite as good and is bit shallower in term of flavor and finesse. The 2017 I found in the store still is not the current vintage. It will be worth checking out the 2018 installment of this vinho verde and others. $9. ★★★ 1/2 Vinho verde isn’t the only white wine from Portugal. The nation produces other, more serious, whites.

One of the standout wine regions is highaltitude Dão, which I have found very reliable when buying without any research.

Lua Chela Vinhas Velhas “Insurgente” 2015 Dão — vinhas velhas meaning “old

vine” — is juicy and plummy with a hint of caramel and a round texture. If you like hearty pinot noir or syrah, you may love this. $15. ★★★★ I had higher hopes for Silk & Spice 2016 Red Wine Portugal, but closer inspection showed no discernible region or seal to designate its pedigree. While nicely packaged, the wine is a spicy, fruity but rather generic semi-dry red blend designed to target the Apothic Red consumer. Still, this is a deal for those looking for one. $12. ★★★ While I can never understand why Port, which is such an inexpensive luxury, is not more popular than it is, I’m happy to enjoy the other great offerings of Portugal.

GRADE: Exceptional ★★★★★, Above average ★★★★, Good ★★★, Below average ★★, Poor ★.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS

Facets of American life on display in trio of albums Son Volt — ‘Union’

THE GOOD: American alt-country/roots rock outfit Son Volt comes back with a politicized ninth.

THE BAD: Nothing.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Founding member and frontman Jay Farrar has always flirted with protest music, songs about the working man and various shades of “Americana” since his days with Uncle Tupelo. So the lyrical direction of “Union” isn’t all that surprising, although there’s NO mistaking Farrar’s targets in songs such as “The 99” and “Lady Liberty.” The man has no love for our current presidential administration, and he’s more than happy to sing about his dissatisfaction. The album’s title is even a sly reference to how divided things are in 2019.

Musically, “Union” is typical Son Volt. Focused, forceful rock tracks such as “Devil May Care” and “The Reason” have no problem saddling up next to softer (but no less powerful) country-flavored songs, such as “Rebel Girl” and the title cut. Farrar and his crew haven’t lost one ounce of authenticity across their 25-year existence. The music remains pure.

BUY IT?: Surely.

Mercury Rev — ‘Bobbie Gentry’s The Delta Sweete Revisited’ THE GOOD: New York indie rock outfit Mercury Rev recreates a landmark album.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: In early 1968, singer/songwriter Bobbie Gentry released her second LP, “The Delta Sweete,” a concept album about mid-20th-century life in the deep south.

Commercially, the record was dead on arrival. Artistically, the work was a triumph and possibly the first alt-country album ever.

Fifty-plus years later, Mercury Rev decided to revisit the whole thing, keeping most of the original track listing intact (only swapping out “Louisiana Man” for a rendition of Gentry’s signature tune, “Ode to Billie Joe”). The guys also hired a bunch of women to handle the vocals. You know them all.

Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier, alt-county fave Marissa Nadler, British indie mainstay Beth Orton and others take turns at the mic. Most of the new versions are dark and murky, like the swamplands where the stories take place. And the songs retain their original power and authenticity.

BUY IT?: You must.

Craig Finn — ‘I Need a New War’ THE GOOD: Singer/songwriter and Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn releases his fourth solo outing.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: “I Need a New War” completes the man’s trilogy about the unsung heroes of American life — that is, average folks trying to navigate the pitfalls of everyday modern living. Just like the characters introduced throughout “Faith in the Future” (2015) and “We All Want the Same Things” (2017), the people here include unromantic office workers, bleary-eyed travelers, tired women with loser boyfriends and those who wonder when the hell the big party came to a crashing halt.

Finn further differentiates his solo material from the exciting tales found on early Hold Steady records. However, his new stuff is no less fascinating. The guy knows how to tell a story lyrically, and he shows true empathy toward the players involved (thereby practically forcing us to do the same).

Musically, Finn expands the backdrops to include angelic backup vocals and soulful Memphis horns. Sweet.

BUY IT?: Yes.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Time to shake things up! In the next three weeks, I invite you to try at least three of the following experiments. 1. See unusual sights in familiar situations. 2. Seek out new music that both calms you and excites you. 3. Get an inspiring statue or image of a favorite deity or hero. 4. Ask for a message from the person you will be three years from now. 5. Use your hands and tongue in ways you don’t usually use them. 6.

Go in quest of a cathartic release that purges frustration and rouses holy passion. 7. Locate the sweet spot where deep feeling and deep thinking overlap.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to science writer Sarah Zielinski in Smithsonian magazine, fireflies produce the most efficient light on Earth. Nearly 100 percent of the energy produced by the chemical reaction inside the insect’s body is emitted as a brilliant glow. With that in mind, I propose that you regard the firefly as your spirit creature in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you, too, will be a dynamic and proficient generator of luminosity. For best results, don’t tone down your brilliance, even if it illuminates shadows people are trying to hide.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a message from author Susan J. Elliott: “This is not your week to run the Universe. Next week is not looking so good either.” Now here’s a message from me: Elliott’s revelation is very good news! Since you won’t have to worry about trying to manage and fine-tune the Universe, you can f o c u s a l l yo u r efforts on your own self-care. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time to do just that.

You’re due to dramatically upgrade your understanding of what you need to feel healthy and happy, and then take the appropriate measures to put your new insights into action.

three weeks will be an excellent time to serve as your own visionary prophet and dynamic fortune-teller. The predictions and conjectures you make about your future destiny will have an 85-percent likelihood of being accurate. They will also be relatively free of fear and worries.

So I urge you to give your imagination permission to engage in fun fantasies about what’s ahead for you. Be daringly optimistic and exuberantly hopeful and brazenly self-celebratory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo poet Stanley Kunitz told his students, “You must be very careful not to deprive the poem of its wild origin.” That’s useful advice for anyone who spawns anything, not just poets. There’s something unruly and unpredictable about every creative idea or fresh perspective that rises up in us. Do you remember when you first felt the urge to look for a new job or move to a new city or search for a new kind of relationship? Wildness was there at the inception. And you needed to stay in touch with the wildness so as to follow through with practical action. That’s what I encourage you to do now. Reconnect with the wild origins of the important changes you’re nurturing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I have no complaints about the measures you’ve taken recently to push past unnecessary limits and to break outworn taboos. In fact, I celebrate them. Keep going! You’ll be better off without those decaying constraints. Soon you’ll begin using all the energy you have liberated and the spaciousness you have made available. But I do have one concern: I wonder if part of you is worried that you have been too bold and have gone too far. To that part of you I say: No! You haven’t been too bold. You haven’t gone too far.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dreamt of a past that frees its prisoners.” So wrote Meena Alexander in her poem “Question Time.” I’d CANCER (June 21-July 22): The next love for you to have that experience in the

coming weeks. I’d love for you be released from the karma of your history so that you no longer have to repeat old patterns or feel weighed down by what happened to you once upon a time.

I’d love for you to no longer have to answer to decayed traditions and outmoded commitments and lost causes. I’d love for you to escape the pull of memories that tend to drag you back toward things that can’t be changed and don’t matter any more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Desire is a profoundly upsetting force,” writes author Elspeth Probyn. “It may totally rearrange what we think we want. Desire skews plans and sets forth unthought-of possibilities.” In my opinion, Probyn’s statements are half-true.

The other half of the truth is that desire can also be a profoundly healing and rejuvenating force, and for the same reasons: it rearranges what we think we want, alters plans, and unleashes unthought-of possibilities. How does all this relate to you? From what I can tell, you are now on the cusp of desire’s two overlapping powers. What happens next could be upsetting or healing, disorienting or rejuvenating. If you’d like to emphasize the healing and rejuvenating, I suggest you treat desire as a sacred gift and a blessing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “So much of what we learn about love is taught by people who never really loved us.” My Sagittarian friend Ellen made that sad observation. Is it true for you? Ellen added the following thoughts: so much of what we learn about love is taught by people who were too narcissistic or wounded to be able to love very well; and by people who didn’t have many listening skills and therefore didn’t know enough about us to love us for who we really are; and by people who love themselves poorly and so of course find it hard to love anyone else. Is any of this applicable to what you have experienced, Sagittarius? If so, here’s an antidote that I think you’ll find effective during the next seven weeks: identify the people who have loved you well and the people who

might love you well in the future—and then vow to learn all you can from them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn fantasy novelist Laini Taylor creates imaginary worlds where heroines use magic and wiles to follow their bliss while wrangling with gods and rascals. In describing her writing process, she says, “Like a magpie, I am a scavenger of shiny things: fairy tales, dead languages, weird folk beliefs, and fascinating religions.” She adds, “I have plundered tidbits of history and lore to build something new, using only the parts that light my mind on fire.” I encourage you to adopt her strategies for your own use in the coming weeks. Be alert for gleaming goodies and tricky delicacies and alluring treats. Use them to create new experiences that thrill your imagination. I believe the coming weeks will be an excellent time to use your magic and wiles to follow your bliss while wrangling with gods and rascals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I was always asking for the specific thing that wasn’t mine,” wrote poet Joanne Kyger. “I wanted a haven that wasn’t my own.” If there is any part of you that resonates with that defeatist perspective, Aquarius, now is an excellent time to begin outgrowing or transforming it. I guarantee you that you’ll have the potency you need to retrain yourself: so that you will more and more ask for specific things that can potentially be yours; so that you will more and more want a haven that can be your own.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m not a fan of nagging. I don’t like to be nagged and I scrupulously avoid nagging others. And yet now I will break my own rules so as to provide you with your most accurate and helpful horoscope. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you aren’t likely to get what you truly need and deserve in the coming days unless you engage in some polite, diplomatic nagging. So see what you can do to employ nagging as a graceful, even charming art. For best results, infuse it with humor and playfulness.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON Friend sick of being stuck in the middle of spat between pals Twisted sisterhood I’m a grown woman in the middle of a feud between two of my female friends. They’re both complaining to me, and I’m just responding “uh-huh” to give them the hint that I don’t want to be involved.

Neither’s catching on.

How do I get out of the middle of this spat without either friend feeling like I’m being disloyal and without my blurting out, “This is ridiculous. Grow up, ladies!”

— Irritated If only these two would do as a 60-year-old dude in the United Kingdom just did to dispute a ticket he got on his motorcycle — invoked what The Telegraph called “the ancient right to trial by combat.” Not surprisingly, local magistrates decided to stick him with a fine instead of accepting his proposal of a duel “to the death” with a motor vehicles clerk, using “samurai swords, Gurkha knives or heavy hammers.”

U n fo r t u n at e ly, yo u r female friends are unlikely to break out the Hello Kitty nunchucks to resolve their little squabble once and for all. It turns out there are some differences in how men and women generally deal with disagreements.

Psychologist Joyce Benenson explained that women — as the childbearers and primary childcarers of the species — evolved to handle disputes in ways that minimize their risk of being physically harmed through retaliation. This has led to a female tendency toward covert aggression — sneaky attacks that are often hard to identify as attacks, such as

sabotaging other women’s status through gossip and social exclusion. Men, in contrast, tend to favor more straight-up forms of dispute resolution, from put-down fests to bar fights (with or without medieval weapons).

The thing is, an evolved tendency for a certain behavior (like indirectness) isn’t a mandate that you behave accordingly. You can instead choose to be direct: Inform these two that you refuse to be the prize in this battle of theirs and thus refuse to hear another word about it from either of them. When they forget (aka see whether they can sneak in a rant to you about what a #$%& the other is), be straightforward in reminding them of your retirement as a giant ear.

Being direct is sure to be uncomfortable the first few times, but as you increasingly make it a habit, you should find it far easier and certainly more effective than coming up with creative excuses every time the phone rings: “Sorry! Still haven’t found my gavel. Talk soon!”

Coy story A male friend says that a woman who wants a hookup can just blurt out “I wanna have sex with you!” to a man and have him take her up on that.

However, he claims that a guy who says this to a woman is taking a big risk and is likely to just offend her and possibly get a drink thrown in his face. Is he right?

— Confused Dude A guy’s “I wanna have sex with you!” does work on women — uh ... in movies where the entire plotline is “A nurse gets in the elevator.”

To be unappealingly frank, men, in a sexual pinch, have been known to get it on with items in their refrigerator. So, especially in guys’ late teens and 20s, the bar for casual sex partners isn’t set all that high — as in, “Wow, girl, that’s some pulse you have on you!”

Women, on the other hand, evolved to be the choosier sex. Female emotions push them to hold out for signs that a man would be willing and able to stick around and commit resources, should a screaming baby result from their naked romp in the back seat of the, um, thing prehistoric people dragged firewood around on.

These sex differences were reflected in recent research led by evolutionary psychologist Mons Bendixen on men’s and women’s signaling of sexual interest.

Women tended to make themselves out to be more sexually interested in a particular man than they actually were. The researchers suspect this may be a strategy that allows women to hold men’s attention for longer. This, in turn, gives a woman more time to assess a man or “strategically increase his hope of having a chance” with her (translation: keep the dude on the hook while milking his American Express card like it has a set of udders).

In contrast, the researchers found that men generally pretended to be far less interested in sex than they actually were — presumably to avoid coming off as a man tramp or the sexual version of a starving Dickensian orphan.
