/MUSIC

SOUNDS

COSMIC GOO

CIRCA WAVES – Different Creatures THE GOOD: British indie rockers Circa Waves deliver a tight second.

THE BAD: “Different Creatures” is satisfying guitar-driven rock, but it’s also formulaic. Jimmy Eat World, the Wombats, the 1975 — all good bands but none are game-changers.

Circa Waves fall in with this predictable lot.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Turn it on, turn it up and drink in the infectious chorus of lead single “Wake Up,” the full-bodied stadium sway carrying “Out on My Own” or the

TEMPLES – Volcano THE GOOD: British neo-psychedelic rockers Temples dodge the sophomore slump.

THE BAD: The ‘60s throwbacks on their first album have been mostly replaced with a lot of synthetic sounds. This shift in direction may turn off some long time fans.

THE NITTY GRITTY: However, get past the

jagged riffs and layered crunch on “Stuck.” Frontman Kieran Shudall leads his crew through ten cranking melodic anthems and one delicate acoustic breather (the somber “Love’s Run Out”). There really isn’t a dud in the bunch.

At the same time though, we’ve heard “Creatures” many times before; the standard guitar, bass, drum line-up only goes so far. Still, not every band can reinvent the wheel.

Go in with reasonable expectations and you’ll come out unscathed while hearing some decent hooks in the process. That’s enough.

BUY IT?: Your choice. sonic changes and you’re in for a real treat. “Volcano” is a majestic set filled with graceful swaths of the Baroque and giddy patches of pure sunshine pop. Right from the start, the record immediately pulls you in with those divine swirling keyboard riffs that bring about opening track “Certainty.” You will smile, and that smile won’t disappear for the better part of an hour.

“I Wanna Be Your Mirror” and “Strange or Be Forgotten” play like pretty posh Victorianera period pieces. “Born into the Sunset” recalls some of Tame Impala’s more accessible and soaring tracks. “Mystery of Pop” gallops about the room while sending your head to dizzying heights; Mercury Rev crossed with gooey bubblegum. It’s all so glorious.

BUY IT?: Yes. REAL ESTATE – In Mind THE GOOD: New Jersey indie rockers Real Estate shuffle their line up and come back with a fourth.

THE BAD: No gripes.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Guitarist Matt Mondanile has left the building, concentrating solely on his side project Ducktails; “In Mind” being the first Real Estate album with new guitarist Julian Lynch. Lead vocalist/guitarist Martin Courtney is still getting his bearings within these new surroundings, but he’s making sure the harmonies and melodies aren’t suffering.

“In Mind” is another graceful collection with just enough distortion spread over the top in all the right places to make us feel all warm and cozy without being TOO complacent. It’s tough to resist the classic Byrds/Teenage Fanclub jangle on tracks like “Stained Glass” and “White Light.” Other cuts are throwbacks to records both trippy (the swirling sixstrings of “Two Arrows”) and folksy (the delicate protest on “Diamond Eyes”). The retro synths blooping and bleeping on “Holding Pattern” even conjure up memories of prime Stereolab.

BUY IT?: Yes.

Better together SSpouses CCaroll andd FFredd Li Linde d make k sweett music i as CCommon Th Threads d dduo

H

usband-and-wife duo Carol and Fred Linde have always felt they are “cut from the same cloth.” As he puts it, “Carol is the main ingredient,” and as she says, “Fred is my main man in this duo.”

The two met a surprise party where it was no surprise that they ended up singing with each other.

“Fred and his buddy opened the night with their acoustic act called Rock N’Rye. I couldn’t help myself and just naturally sang harmony with them. The rest is history,” Carol Linde said.

He remembers a similar story, with her chiming in “with some really sweet harmony.” The duo have been singing since the day they met and their duo, Common Threads, has played on stages in Northeast Pennsylvania for the past 30 years.

Q: How did you get involved in music?

Carol Linde: My mom always played her albums at home when I was growing up; she loved a wide range of music and played it loud and often. She also was self-taught on the piano.

I am sure her love for music rubbed off on me. In high school, I had a friend who sang beautiful harmonies with her sister. I was intrigued and determined to learn to sing like that. So I started by listening to the Beatles albums and played one side at a time on the mono stereo, learning the different keys that blended together.

I trained my ear to be able to sing harmony on command.

Fred Linde: Several of my family members played instruments and had a country band in the ‘50s and ‘60s. I always enjoyed people playing music and I got the bug.

Q: What do you remember about the first time you performed in public?

CL: I was seven years old and had my first piano recital at Greenridge Nursing home. I was a little bit nervous, but not about preforming. A nursing home can be a very scary place for a seven-year-old. But despite my fears, I performed “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” flawlessly.

at lower levels while using a softer touch. I tended to play too fast and too loud, but maturity has helped me in these areas.

FL: I played my guitar at a campsite in New York. The campers were kind, they made me feel comfortable and confident although I know I wasn’t very good at the time. It was a good start for me.

Q: How did you guys come up with your name?

CL: Fred and I used to listened to a college radio station in upstate New York called Common Threads. It’s a two-hour long show of singer-songwriters performing other singer-songwriters’ songs. It was a great concept.

FL: The name seem to fit our situation as a husband-andwife duo.

Q: What is the process for choosing the songs you cover?

CL: For me, I find if it’s a song that I am singing lead on, I have to learn my singing parts first so it comes without effort, then I learn the bass parts. If I am singing backup, I learn the bass line first, and the harmonies just fall into place.

FL: We try to pick songs that work for both of us. We are limited, as we never use electronic or computer generated assistance.

Q: How have you changed as a musician over the years?

CL: That’s a hard one. Just about everything I know about performing I learned from my husband, Fred. He is a very patient man. My first years of playing the bass were frustrating and embarrassing at best. But with the encouragement from my family and friends and tons of practice, I have learned to relax and just be on stage and enjoy playing and singing.

FL: I’ve developed more patience, keeping temps and volumes

Q: What are some of your favorite memories as a musician?

CL: The one that sticks out in my mind the most was one snowy December night, George Wesley and Annette Pinchotti joined us on stage in a little bowling alley in Elmhurst. Word spread like wildfire in our small North Pocono community and the place was hopping all night long.

FL: All the great musicians and friends I have played with over the years. Some gigs were better than others, but it is a great life experience I will never forget.

Q: How has the NEPA music scene changed over the years?

CL: People don’t stay out as late as they did back in the big rock club days and I believe the bar owners have learned to add live entertainment earlier and more often during happy hour and dinner hour.

FL: I don’t believe it has changed much. It seemed to have lost some momentum with the emergence of DJs. To me, that also has died off and live music is in more demand than ever.

Q: What is the biggest challenge?

CL: Keeping our music fresh and finding new venues to play.

FL: The instrument itself, you never stop learning it.

Q: What are your future goals for the band?

CL: We have played together for well over 30 years and the winters are hard here in the Northeast. I would like to see us as snowbirds and play music up and down the east coast and have the best of both worlds.

FL: Keep learning new music, looking for new venues and improving my craft.

OPENING THIS WEEK

by Richard Roeper

NOW PLAYING

“PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES” HHH

When last we left Captain Jack Sparrow some six years ago, he was — Ah, it doesn’t really matter. Some 14 years and five movies into the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, does anyone this side of Johnny Depp care enough about these movies to possess an encyclopedic knowledge of all the curses and kills and character arcs?

Strike that. I’ll bet not even Johnny Depp could walk us through the timeline.

I mean, we’re not talking about the “Star Wars” or “Alien” or Marvel Universe timelines here. Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I don’t see the same level of online fan-person passion for the “Pirates” movies as we see for other movie franchises. Are there fan-driven “Cons” populated by devoted SparrowHeads, with Barbossa costume contests and couples dressed as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann?

Yet the “Pirates” movies are well liked. The first four movies have grossed some $3.75 billion worldwide, so here we go with entry No. 5.

And indeed, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” extends its tentacles into the past. In addition to Depp’s fifth turn as the heavily guylinered, perpetually soused, comedically slurring narcissist pirate, we get the return of some beloved (and not so beloved) characters from “Pirates” past, and in each case they’re given the closure they deserve.

But even if you haven’t seen any of the previous entries in this initially entertaining but sometimes overblown and meandering Disney moneymaker, “Dead Men” works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects, impressive CGI and a steady diet of PG-13 dialogue peppered with not particularly sophisticated but (I have to admit) fairly funny sexual innuendo.

Co-directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg (Oscar nominees for best foreign film with the gripping “Kon-Tiki” in 2012) move things along at a brisk pace for a “Pirates” movie. (It’s about 40 minutes shorter than the interminable “At World’s

“PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES” End.”) From a ridiculous and wildly entertaining bank robbery scene early on, when the entire bank, i.e., the building itself, is taken, through a thrilling finale involving a Ten Commandments-style parting of the waters, “Dead Men Tell No Tales” might as well have been titled, “Go Big or Go Home.”

So here’s your plot, such as it is. Brenton Thwaites plays Henry Turner, the teenage son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, the loving couple played by Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in the first “Pirates” movie.

Henry is on a quest to break the curse that has doomed his father to a ghost ship at the bottom of the sea. He eventually teams up with Kaya Scodelario’s Carina, an astronomer often accused of witchcraft, and Captain Jack Sparrow himself.

They each have their reasons to find the legendary Trident of Poseidon, which grants all power over the seas to anyone who possesses it.

You know, that old story.

The great Geoffrey Rush returns as the onelegged Captain Barbossa, who has alternately been Sparrow’s ally and his enemy over the decades.

Barbossa has become a wealthy fat cat of the high seas, lording over a fleet of 10 pirate ships and enjoying the spoils of victory, but his world is turned upside down by Captain Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem), an unhinged and quite undead

pirate hunter who is about to kill Barbossa — until Barbossa offers up Jack Sparrow as a bounty in order to spare himself.

Salazar wants to kill Jack because Jack’s the one who trapped Salazar in the Devil’s Triangle, which turned Salazar into a creepy undead creature with parts of his face missing and flowing hair that moves around as if he’s forever standing in front of a Beyoncé concert wind machine, so there you have it.

All the talk of curses and revenge and magical maps is the movie equivalent of roadies stacking the amps for the pyrotechnics to follow. Depp’s Captain Jack has become pure comedic relief, to the point where even his heroics seem like accidental slapstick, so it’s up to the next-generation players — Thwaites’ Henry and Scodelario’s Carina — to assume the more traditional action movie lead roles, and the actors are up to the task.

Also, we have Oscar winners Geoffrey Rush and Javier Bardem hamming it up beneath all the makeup and CGI trickery, and that’s a hoot. Bardem’s Salazar is a genuinely frightening creation.

Even the way Salazar says “Jack Sparrow,” making it sound something like “Yawk WhereOh,” is fantastically weird. I’ll bet the other undead pirates aboard Salazar’s ship spend their downtime talking about the captain’s spooky eccentricities.

“Baywatch”

NOW PLAYING “Alien: Covenant” The crew of a colony ship makes a terrifying discovery after landing on what seems to be an uncharted paradise on the far side of the galaxy. With Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demian Bichir. Written by John Logan. Directed by Ridley Scott. Rated R. 122 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Baywatch” When you make films from junk TV, more often than not you’re going to wind up with a junk movie. That’s the case for “Baywatch,” a sequence of plot developments even more over the top and ludicrous than the ding-dong-dumb storylines from the cheesy 1990s series. With Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Rated R for language throughout, crude sexual content, and graphic nudity. 119 minutes. H1/2.

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul” The family takes a road trip, and Greg schemes to become famous as a new cast takes over for the fourth installment based on Jeff Kinney's comic youth novels. With Jason Ian Drucker, Charlie Wright, Owen Asztalos, Tom Everett Scott, Alicia Silverstone. Written by Kinney and director David

Bowers. Rated PG. 90 mintues.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Everything, Everything” An 18-year-old woman, confined to her house in a protected environment because of an illness, forms an attachment to the boy next door and yearns to experience the outside world. With Amandla Stenberg, Nick Robinson, Ana De La Reguera, Anika Noni Rose. Written by J. Mills Goodloe, based on the book by Nicola Yoon. Directed by Stella Meghie.

Rated PG-13. 96 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” Like many a sequel to a slam-bang, much-liked mega-hit, the second adventure of the universe-saviors isn't quite as much fun, not quite as clever, not quite as fresh as the original, but it still packs a bright and shiny and sweet punch. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language, and brief suggestive content. 136 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER “Going In Style” Three retired steelworkers (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin) plot to rob the bank complicit in getting rid of their pensions. Good natured slapstick, but almost

infallibly unfunny. With Ann-Margaret. Directed by Zach Braff. Rated PG-13 for drug use, language.

97 mintues. HH. — GARy THOMPSON, THE PHILADELPHIA INquIRER “King Arthur — Legend of the Sword” Director Guy Ritchie spins the King Arthur legend as a superhero origins story, with our man (Charlie Hunnam) resisting the calling for as long as possible and then finally accepting his destiny to unseat the ruthless King Vortigern (Jude Law).

In its finest moments, "King Arthur" is clever and exhilarating, but at its low points, it plays like a cheesy B-movie. Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, some suggestive content and brief strong language. 126 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER “Snatched” When Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer are playing verbal tennis as mother and daughter, trading passive-aggressive criticism along with genuinely affectionate observations, it’s an absolute delight to witness. When they’re slogging through the jungle later, we find ourselves wishing they had a stronger script. Rated R for crude sexual content, brief nudity, and language throughout. 91 minutes. HH. — RICHARD ROEPER

The humorless dolt Christian Grey entices Anastasia Steele into giving their bedroom gymnastics another try in a sequel that’s shallow and uninteresting -- yet still a notch above the execrable original. This is one good-looking, occasionally titillating, mostly soapy and dull snoozefest. Rating: HH

Damien Chazelle (“Whiplash”), Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone deliver genuine movie-star turns as two struggling, aspiring artists who fall in love, break into song and engage in delightfully choreographed dance numbers.

“The Founder” (Biography, PG-13, 115 m., 2017).

W

hen “WWE Raw” last rolled through Northeast Pennsylvania, women wrestlers were referred to as “Divas” and no woman had ever held two women’s division titles.

Neither statement applies to Alexa Bliss, who will appear on “Raw” on Monday, June 5, during the show’s first stop in the region in nearly a decade at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, 255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp. Tickets start at $18 and are available at ticketmaster.com, the arena box office, or by calling 800-745-3000.

Bliss, who was selected for the roster of “SmackDown Live!” last July during WWE’s draft, won the blue brand’s women’s title before she moved to the company’s other weekly live show, “Raw,” as part of the Superstar Shake-up in April. Later that month, Bliss cemented herself in the WWE history books when she won the Raw Women’s Championship and became the first woman to hold both the SmackDown and Raw Women’s titles.

“It’s amazing and something that will go down in history,” Bliss, known as Alexis “Lexi” Kaufman outside the ring, said during a recent phone interview from Orlando, Florida. “It’s awesome to have this opportunity WWE has given to me, and I couldn’t be anymore thankful. And I’ve never made history before, either, so it’s definitely amazing.”

Bliss also is a Superstar, just like her male counterparts on the roster, another change WWE made in 2016 during what was dubbed as the “Women’s Revolution,” where more emphasis was put on women wrestlers and their talent and matches. Gone are the days of 30-seconds-long women’s matches for the pink butterfly-emblazoned Diva’s Championship belt.

Though Bliss said she was not part of the “Four Horsewomen” (Superstars Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley) who worked to usher in the new era of women’s talent, Bliss follows their lead.

“It’s our turn to take it to the next level of the revolution,” said Bliss, who signed to WWE’s developmental property NXT in 2013. “We’re constantly stepping our game up. Every time I’m out in that ring, I take

22 J u n e 1 , 2 0 1 7

every opportunity and just try to run with it.”

A lifelong athlete, Bliss competed in kickboxing, track and professional bodybuilding and also was a gymnast and cheerleader. The latter two helped with Bliss’ air and body awareness in the ring, but she admits there’s no sport like pro wrestling. “(Cheer) and gymnastics helped that, absolutely, but nothing can ever prepare you for what your body goes through in the ring,” she said. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

Bliss, a bad guy, (or “heel”) will defend her title against good guy (or “face”) Bayley, whom she said she loves to work with, the day before the stop in Wilkes-Barre. The pair are feuding and Bayley is known for hugging her opponents while Bliss is known for her attitude and sass. Though Bliss was hesitant to play the villain, she quickly settled into the role.

“It’s so much easier to get people to hate you than to like you,” she said, laughing. “It’s so much more fun.”

Bliss’s work in WWE is far from done. She feels excited to be part of the new generation of Superstars who continue the evolution of women’s wrestling. For girls who want to follow in the footsteps of Bliss and her fellow women on the roster, she advised not to be discouraged if success doesn’t come right away, and echoed the sentiments a coach once gave to her.

“It’s a marathon, not a sprint,” she said. “Learn the process and respect the process and love the process.”

‘WWE Raw’ returns to area after near decade-long absence with Superstar champ Alexa Bliss

Big Easy TasTE The French QuarTer brings Flavors oF new orleans To nanTicoke

In less than two months, Nanticoke residents welcomed their newest neighbors at the French Quarter restaurant with open arms.

Owner and chef Kelli Fritz worried that opening a restaurant far away from her Berwick home might be a disadvantage to the business, but the locals proved her wrong.

“I know my people (in Berwick) will follow me here to eat, but I don’t have many friends up here,” she said. “But through word of mouth, we’ve been busy.”

The restaurant hugs the corners of South Walnut and East Union streets, which sat vacant for four years prior. Customers who enter the establishment are immediately greeted by the scent of Cajun spices and a cozy atmosphere. A menu full of variety sits on the chalkboard wall with different options written in brightly colored chalk, and Mardi Gras-themed decor covers the restaurant in the signature green, purple and gold color scheme.

Fritz said after so many years working for other people she decided it was finally time to open her own restaurant, with her style of food.

“I lived in New Orleans until I was eight, and my uncle had a restaurant down there,” she said.

“For years, people told my mom and I to open a New Orleans-styled restaurant, but we’d been busy working for other people, making them money.”

In November, an opportunity to lease the restaurant South Walnut Street presented itself to Fritz and her husband, Larry, and they couldn’t pass it up.

“It was a long time coming,” Fritz said.

But she couldn’t do it alone. With help from her family and friends, they opened the restaurant after five months of revamping the interior and decorating it to their liking.

Now, the restaurant specializes in various New Orleans- and Cajun-styled cuisine, from the famous Po’Boys — both hot and cold — to

Nothing but the truth Scranton StorySlam returns with real tales to benefit local Fringe Festival

Five years ago, a group of residents took the stage one-by-one to tell a story to a room full of friends and strangers and a tradition was born: Scranton StorySlam.

On Saturday, June 3, 10 storytellers take the stage for the 16th StorySlam, which is the third version of the event to fall under the Scranton Fringe Festival’s umbrella of programming.

The slam’s theme, “Taking the Fifth,” is a nod to the event’s fifth anniversary and also gives storytellers a myriad of directions to take, said Fringe board member Camille Reinecke, who helps to coordinate the festival.

“The way I interpret it is something that was withheld … you refrained from saying something and vowed never to speak of it again,” Reinecke said. “But, people can interpret it however they

24 J u n e 1 , 2 0 1 7

want, and it’s exciting to see what they come up with. It’s interesting how completely different the stories could be with the same theme.”

The show takes place inside Craftsmen Hall on the third floor Scranton Cultural Center at The Masonic Temple, 420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton. Doors open at 8 p.m. and stories begin at 8:30. Tickets are $7 and proceeds benefit Scranton Fringe Festival. Tickets can be purchased at eventbrite.com in advance or at the door.

The Slam follows the same format as in past years. Community members from actors to writers to comedians share a true, five-minute-long story without notes in front of an audience and a small group of judges that can be taken in any direction from poignant to hilarious. Actor and DJ Conor McGuigan will emcee the evening.

V

eteran’s Promise wants to shed light on local veterans and the community that helps them.

Comprised of veterans and vet supporters that provide outreach and support to service members and their families, the group’s event, Rock the Night on Shine the Light, is an all-in-one ride, vigil and benefit that promotes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder awareness and suicide prevention.

Veteran’s Promise president and founder Dave Ragan said the event aligns with the group’s mission to start a dialogue about the struggles military members face when they come home and to educate the community and advocate for them.

“People are so afraid of the word or stigma and the only way to change that is to just it it out there,” said Ragan, a Pennsylvania Army National Guard veteran, who also is a suicide survivor himself. “When (military members) come home, they struggle … It takes a lot of work to put that back together again and when we reach out to those veterans, that’s a way to help.”

The event kicks off Sunday, June 4, at Thirst

T’s Bar & Grill, 120 Lincoln St., Olyphant. A daylong schedule of events is planned, beginning with the ride to honor fallen soldier Staff Sgt. Joseph Granville. Registration is from 10 a.m. to noon and kickstands come up at 12:15 p.m. The pack will ride to Granville’s former home, where a flag will be lowered and presented to Granville’s mother. Then, the pack and limos filled with Granville’s family members, led by police escorts, will ride back to Thirst T’s. The flag will fly at the event for the rest of the afternoon.

Though the event is a fundraiser, Veteran’s Promise will give back by saying thanks to the community members who are there for them.

At 2 p.m., the vigil and ceremony starts during which local people, businesses and police officers who support the group will be honored.

A veteran also will be honored with an award in Granville’s name.

From 3 to 7:30 p.m., the day loosens up a bit and bands will play inside the bar, with food for purchase, basket raffles and tattoos by the Rock Shop Tattoo Gallery available for guests, as well.

The event differs from last year, Ragan said, as it was just a vigil and ceremony then. With

Gaelic poetry, music, theatrical and radical skills are evident on both sides of the Atlantic. It was obvious we five would be on the same path and invade popular culture with the Bohemian manifesto. Don’t be fooled by folk songs and pop suits and haircuts — there is a deeper flux that is loosely called the “British Sixties,” and it is Gaelic energy that has been preserved, as the Romans did not invade Ireland or Western Scotland. We five read the same books of the mysteries and sought out a guru to show us how to enter the Fourth Level of Consciousness within us all, to check what all the Vedic and mythic teachers reveal and open the Third Eye, to view the true reality with what is called (in the Indian Upanishads) Transcendental Super Conscious Vision.

In the Gaelic Mysteries, the invisible true reality within is called Avalon and the Living Crystal Faery Realm. We are poets in service to the tribes of man. We know that all change begins within. And we place in our songs guiding sounds to awaken the millions who have reincarnated into the planet to be done with the Lower Consciousness and be awake to and aware of the future: preservation of all life. Most humans live on three levels of consciousness: Waking, Dreaming and Dreamless Sleep. The Fourth Level is our natural Evolution of Consciousness unfolding, and we five — and many others — are involved in enlivening it sooner than later, for obvious reasons. For, to realize we are all the Unified Field within, dispels duality, and we see we are all the one indivisible wholistic event.

Q: Is there a certain moment during a show you strive for each time? When you know you’ve officially connected with your audience?

A: When I walk onstage, it is a reconnection that happens. Not because they know the songs, moreso because the solo poet sings to the Inner Consciousness of the audience. And with the sounds of my mellifluous voice and moving vibrations of the guitar, it harmonizes all of us and heals any imbalances, which is why I like to go out in concert, because I need this as much as my audience. This means the audience and I, we balance each other. It’s symbiotic. And really should be — the true effect of art on us all.

Q: Will you share some of your favorite moments, anecdotes or memories from the last 50 years?

A: 1968: Twenty-thousand people in Madison Square Garden, just back from India, dressed in my Ashram gear. I walk onstage solo, and a wave of attention moves me like a strong wind, and I need to immediately sit cross-legged in case I fall over. I sing my softest song I know, “Isle of Islay.” Very rare New Yorker silence, and the audience are in awe. That night, I “broke the gate” at the Garden, earning more than any other solo artist in the Garden’s history (at the time). Before the concert, my New York Irish cops drove me through the traffic jam around the Garden. Later, one cop backstage told me, “(Ronald) Reagan was in his limo in the traffic jam on his campaign for California governor, and Reagan thought the traffic jam was for him.” My 10 Irish cops backstage all laughed.

Q: What would you like to say to your most faithful listeners and fans of the last 50 years? To your newest and youngest?

A: I thank all my friends who have followed me, and say welcome to my new, younger friends who have just discovered my poetic music. Many times I am thanked for helping, with my music and poetry, those difficult times on the journey through one’s present life. The ancient book of changes, the “I Ching,” says, “Music releases the obscure emotions of the heart.” If you come to my concert, you can experience it in person.

LoIRE VaLLEy WINES offER DIVERSE fLaVoRS aND REaSoNaBLE PRICES Loire Valley is the classic runner up: overlooked, disregarded and somewhat offbeat.

Though vast and diverse, Loire may be the least known of France’s great wine regions.

In some ways, Loire has played pioneer as a homeland for sauvignon blanc, a variety that exploded into the wine world in the last generation. The region has been an inspiration, of sorts, for wine growers in the Eastern United States and cabernet franc. Loire’s sub-regions produce wine that is 100 percent cabernet franc, a red grape in many Bordeaux wines that tolerates cooler climates.

At the same time, Loire is idiosyncratic, making wine from grapes not much used elsewhere. Muscadet, Loire’s largest and most productive region, makes its crackly wine from a grape called melon that is not planted elsewhere. One of Loire’s leading white wines is chenin blanc, a versatile, productive grape that has a presence, if little notoriety, globally.

Even in France, Loire is thought of more as the nation’s garden or cornucopia, recognized for its history and beauty before its wine.

The hilltop city of Loire Valley, Sancerre, is the best known region in Loire and considered a homeland of sauvignon blanc. These run a bit more expensive. However, Loire sauvignon blanc produced beyond Sancerre in places such as Rully, Pouilly-Fumé or Quincy stands well alongside Sancerre counterparts and is typically under $20.

I found several affordable Loire Valley sauvignon blanc as Chairman Selections in Pennsylvania. Often, the Loire labels refer to them simply as “sauvignon.” Fans of sauvignon blanc should give them a shot.

Domaine du Haut Perron Sauvignon Touraine / Val de Loir 2015 with a creamy lemon-lime texture that hits some tropical notes with flavors of passionfruit and a rich texture and sweet edge that makes it softer than sauvignon blancs from other places in the world. $13.HHHH1/2.

Usually, Loire cabernet franc has no more than a hint of oak, and is lighter in body than most.

The juicy Domaine des Ruettes 2015 Samur Champigny smells like violets in a spring flower box with flavors of black fruits and a touch of licorice. This would pair well with most burgers and lighter red meat dishes, especially those that incorporate avocado or scallions or tomatillos. $11. HHHH. More often than not, Muscadet is a wine that you want to have with particular foods. People who enjoy lean, crackly whites may enjoy a cold Muscadet.

But the characteristics — nutty, doughy, sometimes a touch oxidized, or showing character of salt or iodine — aren’t for everybody.

For many, Muscadet calls out for suitable food.

The Muscadet region is embraced by the Atlantic Ocean, and the salt air makes its way into the wine, which is most classically paired with fresh oysters or anything else that lives on the ocean floor. Muscadet is often good at its ridiculously cheap prices but the more expensive ones can show special traits and even taste more like a chardonnay.

Bedouet Vigneron Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2015 is minerally with hints of lemon and herb and a clean, lip-smacking finish. An alternate use for Muscadet may be as a light aperitif that cleans the palate and gets it ready for a meal. $9. HHH1/2.

At their reasonable prices, wines of Loire are worth checking out. Not mentioned here are the off-dry take on chenin blanc, often labeled under the region Vouvray, and their sparkling wines sold as Cremant de Loire.

Free Will astrOlOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life is in the mood to communicate with you rather lyrically.

Here are just a few of the signs and portents you may encounter along with theories about their meaning. If you overhear a lullaby, it’s time to seek the influence of a tender, nurturing source. If you see a type of fruit or flower you don’t recognize, it means you have a buried potential you don’t know much about, and you’re ready to explore it further. If you spy a playing card in an unexpected place, trust serendipity to bring you what you need. If a loud noise arrives near a moment of decision: traditionally it signifies caution, but these days it suggests you should be bold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your body is holy and magic and precious. I advise you not to sell it or rent it or compromise it in any way — especially now, when you have an opening to upgrade your relationship with it. Yes, Taurus, it’s time to attend to your sweet flesh and blood with consummate care. Find out exactly what your amazing organism needs to feel its best. Lavish it with pleasure and healing. Treat it as you would a beloved child or animal. I also hope you will have intimate conversations with the cells that compose your body. Let them know you love and appreciate them. Tell them you’re ready to collaborate on a higher level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The most intense moments the universe has ever known are the next 15 seconds,” said philosopher Terence McKenna. He was naming a central principle of reality: that every new now is a harvest of everything that has ever happened; every fresh moment is a blast of novelty that arises in response to the sum total of all history’s adventures. This is always true, of course. But I suspect the phenomenon will be especially pronounced for you in the near future. More than usual, you may find that every day is packed with interest-

28 J u n e 1 , 2 0 1 7

ing feelings and poignant fun and epic realizations.

This could be pleasurable, but also overwhelming.

Luckily, you have the personal power necessary to make good use of the intensity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Nobody likes to be scrutinized or critiqued or judged. But we Crabs (yes, I’m one of you) are probably touchier about that treatment than any other sign of the zodiac. (Hypersensitivity is a trait that many astrologers ascribe to Cancers.) However, many of us do allow one particular faultfinder to deride us: the nagging voice in the back of our heads. Sometimes we even give free rein to its barbs. But I would like to propose a transformation of this situation. Maybe we could scold ourselves less, and be a bit more open to constructive feedback coming from other people. Starting now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The lion’s potency, boldness and majesty are qualities you have a mandate to cultivate in the next three weeks. To get in the righteous mood, I suggest you gaze upon images and videos of lions.

Come up with your own version of a lion’s roar — I mean actually make that sound — and unleash it regularly. You might also want to try the yoga posture known as the lion pose. If you’re unfamiliar with it, go here for tips: tinyurl.com/lionpose. What else might help you invoke and express the unfettered leonine spirit?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): “What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?” French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan posed that question. I invite you to put it at the top of your list of hot topics to meditate on. In doing so, I trust you won’t use it as an excuse to disparage your companions for their inadequacies. Rather, I hope it will mobilize you to supercharge your intimate alliances; to deepen your awareness of the synergistic beauty

you could create together; to heighten your ability to be given the universe by those whose fates are interwoven with yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From my study of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, the hidden chambers beneath the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and the current astrological omens, I have determined that now is a favorable time for you to sing liberation songs with cheeky authority ... to kiss the sky and dance with the wind on a beach or hilltop ... to gather your most imaginative allies and brainstorm about what you really want to do in the next five years. Do you dare to slip away from business-as-usual so you can play in the enchanted land of what-if? If you’re smart, you will escape the grind and grime of the daily rhythm so you can expand your mind to the next largest size.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical Capricorn cultivates fervent passions, even to the point of obsession. Almost no one knows their magnitude, though, because the members of your tribe often pursue their fulfillment with methodical, business-like focus. But I wonder if maybe it’s a good time to reveal more of the raw force of this driving energy than you usually do. It might humanize you in the eyes of potential helpers who see you as too strong to need help. And it could motivate your allies to provide the extra support and understanding you’ll need in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to carry out a flashy flirtation with the color red. I dare you to wear red clothes and red jewelry. Buy yourself red roses. Sip red wine and savor strawberries under red lights. Sing Elvis Costello’s “The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” and Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.” Tell everyone why 2017 is a red-letter year for you. For extra credit, murmur the following motto whenever a splash of red teases and pleases your imagination: “My red-hot passion is my version of high fashion.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “On some hill of despair,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell, “the bonfire you kindle can light the great sky — though it’s true, of course, to make it burn you have to throw yourself in.” You may not exactly feel despair, Scorpio.

But I suspect you are in the throes of an acute questioning that makes you feel close to the edge of forever. Please consider the possibility that it’s a favorable time to find out just how much light and heat are hidden inside you. Your ache for primal fun PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you want a and your longing to accelerate your soul’s educapuppy, start by asking for a pony,” read the bumper tion are converging with your quest to summon a sticker on the Lexus SUV I saw.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Carrie Kieczkaijlo is the owner and operator of Royal Rock Equestrian Center, located near Harveys Lake. The facility offers horse riding lessons, horse training and horse boarding.

It also sells horses. Kieczkaijlo is a graduate of Dallas High School and Centanary College, where she received degrees in biology and equine management. She lives at Harveys Lake.

Meet Carrie Kieczkaijlo …

Royal Rock Equestrian Center is now in its 10th year. When did you first know that you wanted a career that would have you working with horses?

Always. My mom had told me stories about how she had a horse when she was younger, and she actually didn’t want me to get into horses. And I think that was partially because she didn’t want to feel as though she had pushed me towards it, and also because she knew there was no turning back. I don’t think she wanted to live vicariously through me, plus she knew it’s expensive and completely time-consuming. So she actually tried to keep me away from horses, and I did tap-dance and piano lessons and things like that. But she said that somehow, one day, for me, it was magically “Horses!” Also, when I was younger — like a lot of little girls — I wanted to be a veterinarian. And I remember going on a tour of Delaware Valley College, and we were talking to the veterinarians, and they told us that one of the things that people don’t think about is that it is not primarily happy work. It’s mostly sick and hurt animals and you do a lot of euthanasia. And I thought, “Well, the whole reason I wanted to do this was so I could work with horses. Why don’t I just work with horses?” And that was really when I decided this was my path.

What do you enjoy about it the most?

It’s incredibly gratifying. I love when I’m working with a student or a horse that’s having trouble with something, and then there’s that breakthrough.

That moment is just super-gratifying. My big thing is also thinking outside the box, so if I’m working with a student who is not getting something, we just keep trying. I’m big on visualization. I’ll say, “Think of it this way,” or “Imagine this” until we get it. I also love being outdoors, and I have a lot of awesome students who have become like

family. It’s unique in that I can really establish this complete one-on-one with my clients.

How many horses, on average, do you usually have at the facility?

Our average is around 20. Lately, it’s been around 24.

How many of those are actually yours, and not horses that you are boarding or have for sale?

We have around 10 or 11 horses that are here permanently, and that I’ll keep until the day they die. We have some that are training horses, and the goal is to flip them. But the ones that will be here forever, whether because they’re unsellable, or they’re rescues, or they’re my lesson horses that I owe my whole life to, is probably around 10 or 11.

Which is a lot of horses. (Laughs.)

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Hiking and being outdoors. And I love to cook.

Any hobbies?

When I was in college, I collected vinyl albums.

Favorite music?

I’m really a punk-rock girl at heart. When I’m alone, I still gravitate towards punk, indie and even hardcore music. When I’m with people, I prefer to listen to ‘60s and the ‘70s. I love Billy Joel and I’m a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. Anything from that era is awesome.

Both my Mom and my sister have passed away, so that holds a lot of memories. Even though I’ve been Guilty pleasure? there a million times, I still go there, and I’m happy Two Dots. It’s a game that I play on my phone to just be there. when I can’t sleep.

Biggest pet peeve?

Dishonesty. And people that don’t put their

shopping cart back at the grocery store. I have been known to push my shopping cart back and look at people vindictively and be like, “It’s not that hard.” (Laughs.)

Have you had an event in your life that, more than anything, has helped shape you into the person you are today?

The death of my mother. It definitely gave me an appreciation for the people in my life. My mother was sick for a long time, but it just instilled the concept that nothing lasts forever. And that certainly gave me an appreciation for living every day and making sure that people know how you feel about them. It also brought my family closer together, and it motivates me all the time to do better, be better, and make her proud.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY SOuNd STRAIGHT TALk FROM SYNdICATEd COLuMNIST AMY ALkON

SIGHT FOR THOR EYES I’m a 35-year-old masculine gay man. I’ve had relationships with masculine gay men, but I’m often attracted to masculine straight men. I’m not looking to “turn” them, and I’m ready for a relationship, so I’m concerned that I’m so frequently attracted to men who won’t be interested in me. What is this about? Do I need therapy?

—Worried Gay Guy Like you, I happen to like men who look like their hobbies are chopping down trees and going to war with foreign powers.

I am not attracted to femmy men in body glitter with My Little Pony haircuts. Luckily for me, the sort of people I am attracted to did not require me to come out to my parents (“Mom and Dad…I-I-I’m straight”), nor are my preferences considered reason for suspicion that I might be a self-loathing heterosexual.

As for you, because of the ugly views and behaviors toward gays, sure, it’s possible that your being attracted to straight men is some sort of internalized version of those camps for “praying away the gay.” (If that seems to be a possibility, yes, you should look into that — perhaps with a therapist’s help.) But if you were really so self-loathing

and in denial about being gay, wouldn’t you just be sneaking glances at all the manly men on your way to marrying a woman and buying a house with a lot of closet space?

Your being a manly man who’s into boyfriends who wield power tools not intended for hairstyling might be explained by research on “assortative mating.” This basically means “like mates with like” — reflecting how we seem motivated to choose mates who are similar to us on various levels, from age to looks to race to personality. In the gay world, psychologist J. Michael Bailey’s research finds that masculine gay men tend to prefer masculine partners (Conan the Barbarian versus Conan the Featherboa-tarian).

Increased similarity between partners is associated with happier, longer-lasting relationships. This makes sense, considering that more similarity means more compatibility — from shared beliefs to shared interests and activities. So, it’s good news you’re eyeing the manlier men, even if many are ultimately “for display purposes only.”

Of course, it is possible that you’re telling yourself you want a relationship but picking people totally unavailable for one. (For straight women, this often involves a onesided affair with a member of the British royal family.) If that isn’t the case, why worry that your ideal relationship is

basically a nature preserve for chest hair and testosterone?

Just accept that it might take a little more effort to find a boyfriend for whom “contouring” is not skillful makeup application but helping you get the back of your head with the Weedwhacker before your welding group arrives.

BLEACHABLE MOMENTS I went through a crazy party girl period in my 20s. My boyfriend recently asked me how many men I’d slept with before him. I told him, and he freaked out at the number — despite his having his own wild past. Now I wish I hadn’t been honest. What should I have said instead?

—Glum It’s usually best to keep mum if the number of men is something like “I’m not exactly sure because the census takers keep fainting from exhaustion while they’re tallying up my total.”

There is a sexual double standard, though it doesn’t come from men wanting to keep women’s sex drives in park (which wouldn’t exactly serve their interest). What’s telling, however, are sex differences in jealousy — specifically, jealousy over infidelity. Evolutionary psychologist David Buss finds that men across cultures are most distressed by sexual infidelity — the sex acts themselves.

Though women aren’t exactly “yeah, whatevs” about their partner’s doing the nudie tootie with another woman, women are substantially more distressed by his being

emotionally gaga about someone else. (A woman’s first question is inevitably: “But do you luvvvv her?!”)

These differences in freakouts dovetail with men’s and women’s differing evolutionary concerns. Women evolved to worry that their partner would divert his investment of time, energy and resources in her and her children to a rival. Men, however, have a different worry. Because a man can never really be sure whether a child is his (“paternity uncertainty”), any sex act his partner has with another man could lead to his spending decades feeding and caring for some other dude’s genetic offspring.

The thing is, having a crazy party girl period doesn’t mean you’re unethical. It’s possible that pointing that out to your boyfriend might help. If, in the future, another boyfriend asks for your sexual tally, be generally honest — you were a bit of a party girl — but avoid giving any specific number that suggests that this involved much of the Democratic Party (and a few straggling Greens).

Psycho sudoku Psycho sudoku — “kaidoku”

PuZZle PaGe

Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid By a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with Wellknown English words (hint: since a q is always followed by a u, try hunting down the q first).

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like Srtockholm or long-lost in here (but you might see afghan, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).

Now stop wasting my precious time and solve!

“Freedonia” — just another themeless jam.
