Previously known as the Pocono Wing Off, the festival will feature wings prepared by several restaurants from across the state.

Creative minds will compete for a chance to open their own shop in downtown Scranton during the Kickstart Art Challenge Pop-Up Art Shop Weekend.

Sponsored by Renaissance at 500, the program gives arts-related businesses thinking about opening a shop or studio the chance to win six months of free rent — with the signing of a year-long lease — to help them open a new shop in a Bogart Court space. The spaces are in the rear of the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue and at the entrance of what has been touted to become the city’s Iron Arts District, around the corner from the historic Scranton Iron Furnaces.

SOUNDS

Still Crazy After All These Years

TANYA DONELLY — Swan Song Series THE GOOD: Indie rock songstress Tanya Donelly (formerly of Throwing Muses, the Breeders and Belly) exits her recording career with a big bang.

THE BAD: Not “bad,” but this new triple CD is a compilation of sorts. Real Donelly diehards may already own a lot of this stuff.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The woman wanted to semi-retire and the Swan Song Series of EPs was her way of doing just that throughout 2013 and 2014. This new collection brings all those

BOB MOULD — Patch the Sky THE GOOD: Indie rock legend (the term definitely applies) Bob Mould returns with his 12th solo outing.

THE BAD: No. THE NITTY GRITTY: It’s tough being a punk in your mid ’50s, but Mould is aging just fine.

The whole time he was in Husker Du and Sugar and throughout most of his solo career, Mould has always been the smartest guy in the room who likes his music tightly packed and incredibly loud.

Back in the ’90s, the man experimented with different sounds and played with electronics a bit (the end results not half bad).

Most of the time though, Mould has delivered

14 A u g u s t 1 1 , 2 0 1 6

original releases together in one handy package while adding a few bonus tracks.

If you don’t sweat the minutia though and simply concentrate on the music, you’ll find a sprawling yet highly enjoyable set of 31 indie rock gems spread across two hours. Donelly gives us everything from stirring dramatic rock (“Mass Ave”) to carefree flashes of whimsy (“VivaKaraoke”) to folkflavored fare (“In Your Name”).

This mass undertaking may seem scattershot on the surface, but the end result is surprisingly accomplished.

BUY IT?: Yep. intelligent melodic rock songs played through a layered guitar haze; chunky rhythmic chords are much more powerful than any lead parts. Patch the Sky continues this abrasive pattern. Tracks such as “Voices in My Head” and “Hands Are Tied” are typical Mould tunes, all searing riffs and thunderous beats. The style works, and he’s good at it. So why change now?

BUY IT?: Yeah.

controversy, and the band’s musical legacy has gone from “disposable bubblegum” to “quintessential ’60s pop.” And rightfully so; their first eight albums are fantastic. Okay, Changes (1970) and Pool It (1987) sucked. Justus (1996) was lackluster. But now the guys are back on track with THE MONKEES some righteous collaborators.

— Good Times Good Times was produced THE GOOD: All by Adam Schlesinger (Founof the Monkees tains of Wayne) and boasts return (even the songwriting contributions late Davy Jones via from Andy Partridge (XTC), archive recordRivers Cuomo (Weezer), Ben ings) for their 50th Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) anniversary and and Noel Gallagher (Oasis).

12th proper album. Abandoned tracks written by THE BAD: No Harry Nilsson and Neil Diamond have also been gripes. resurrected and completed in a modern setting.

THE NITTY It all adds up to Good Times indeed. The MonGRITTY: The dust kees deliver a consummate pop/rock record that has finally settled sounds amazingly fresh and, yes, relevant. on the whole “they BUY IT?: Oh yeah! don’t play their own instruments”

SCREENS

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Sausage Party Voices of Seth Rogen, Kristin Wiig In this R-rated animated comedy, a sausage (Rogen) strives to discover the truth about his existence. The Plus: The genre.

Time (The Hangover) and time (Bridesmaids) and time again (21 Jump Street), adults-only laugh-getters have achieved blockbuster status. Also, time (Pixar: Inside Out, Finding Dory) and time (Dreamworks Animation: Home, Kung Fu Panda 3) and time again (Illumination Entertainment: Minions, The Secret Life of Pets), animated films have struck a very profitable chord with moviegoers both young AND old. But together?! If the trailer is any indication, there might be a perfect storm on the horizon for adults in the form of Sausage Party. The voice cast includes such comedy veterans as Rogen (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), Wiig (Ghostbusters), Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street), Bill Hader (Trainwreck), Michael Cera (This Is the End), James Franco (The Interview), Danny McBride (Masterminds), Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine), Paul Rudd (Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues), Edward Norton (The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Salma Hayek (Savages). The Minus: The gamble. Everybody loves a raunchy R-rated comedy … but animated? Unless moviegoers count the X-rated 1972 oddity Fritz the Cat, this is pretty much unexplored territory.

Florence Foster Jenkins Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant In this PG-13-rated dramedy based on the true story of Wilkes Barre-born Jenkins, a New York heiress (Streep) finances her dream of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice. The Plus: The player.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the woman billed by many as the greatest actress of her generation? Nominated for more Oscars than any thespian in history (19 and counting), Streep took home the prize three times — once for best supporting actress (Kramer Vs. Kramer) and twice for best actress (Sophie’s Choice, Iron Lady). Here, she’s directed by no less than Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena) and stars alongside Grant (The Man from UNCLE), Simon Helberg (CBS’s The Big Bang Theory) and Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation). The Minus: The timing. If this film were worth a damn, why isn’t it being released in the fall with the rest of the awards contenders instead of the blockbuster-filled dog days of summer?

Pete’s Dragon Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford In this PG-rated fantasy adventure remake, an orphaned boy named Pete (Oakes Fegley) pals around with his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon. The Plus: The studio.

Over the last six years, Disney dazzled moviegoers with live-action takes on their animated classics. 2010’s Alice in Wonderland, 2014’s Maleficent, 2015’s Cinderella and this year’s The Jungle Book not only ruled the box office and ranked relatively high with critics but also proved that Walt Disney Pictures can still directly produce entertainment that’s not animated and/or acquired from its many blockbuster holdings (Pixar, Marvel Studios and LucasFilm, we’re looking at you).

This remake of the 1977 Disney flick stars Howard (Jurassic World), Redford (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Fegley (This Is Where I Leave You), Oona Lawrence (Bad Moms) and Karl Urban (Star Trek Beyond). The Minus: The odds. Not all of Disney’s live-action properties bring blockbuster results. The Mouse House still smarts from the failure of “sure-fire” hits John Carter, The Lone Ranger and Wonderland (inspired by Lewis Carroll, not the porn star accused of murder) sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass. Also, unless you consider Helen Reddy singing to a cartoony Sword & the Stone reject, the original Pete’s Dragon does not exactly fall into classic status. Based on good early reviews, however, the re-do just might succeed given good word of mouth.

Café Society Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart HHH1/2 — A Purple Rose By Any Other Name The Golden Age of H’Wood and café society never looked more glorious or, frankly, golden than in this, a lighter trip to the Woody-pile raised above bar by a stellar ensemble. In this PG-13-rated comedy set in the 1930s, a young Bronx native (Eisenberg) moves to Hollywood where he falls in love with the secretary (Stewart) of his powerful uncle (Steve Carell), only to return to New York, where he gets swept up in the vibrant world of high society nightclub life. Some call this period “later Allen,” as in past Woody Allen’s prime, which consisted of the early comedy greats (Annie Hall, Manhattan), the weightier triumphs that followed (Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors) and the gem-filled tenure that came later (Bullets Over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite). Honestly, most young piss-and-vinegar filmmakers aren’t making projects as thought-out and lovely looking as Match Point, Midnight in Paris and Café Society. Sure, the latest of these is a quiet film where a lot of usually loud things happen (affairs, murders, family tragedy), but’s there is beauty in this gorgeous tale of boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-thinks-aboutwhat-could’ve-been-forever. There’s more to it than that (and no, this synopsis isn’t a spoiler as there’s more to the story) but the film intends to strike a contemplative tone within you — not knock you over the head with answers. As always, Allen’s knack for casting elevates an already decent story all the more. Eisenberg and Stewart’s palpable romance anchor the story wonderfully, but Carell, Parker Posey, Blake Lively and Corey Stahl all make indelible marks as well.

SMALL SCREENS

Stranger Things Winona Ryder, David Harbour HHHH — Amblin Man In this Netflix original series, a young boy disappears, leaving his mother (Ryder), a police chief (Harbour) and his friends to confront terrifying forces in order to get him back. A stylistic throwback to Spielbergian ’80s fantasy that packs a mighty emotional punch all of its own, Stranger Things brings to mind thoughts of E.T., Goonies, Gremlins and the small screen’s Amazing Stories at the outset, but quickly and smartly paves a path of wonderment and mystery that’s unique in its own right. Sure, veteran talents like Ryder (Beetlejuice) and Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket) keep the ’80s connection lodged in your brain throughout, but everything — from the titles to the synth soundtrack to the pop culture references — ground this period piece in authenticity. Of course, the eight-episode story isn’t as cerebral as, say, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but the overall experience smacks of more than just nostalgia. At times, it’s also very funny and scary. The very believable friendship of the young playmates on a heartbreaking search for their missing fourth musketeer really keeps you invested and coming back.

NOW PLAYING

/ENTERTAINMENT

Suicide Squad Will Smith, Jared Leto HH1/2 — Jailhouse Crock Suicide Squad, the latest in DC’s feeble bid to make Marvel-ous films, boasts a promising start and masterful casting but seems to take on suicidal tendencies as it quickly descends into supernatural phooey and tired formula.

In this PG-13-rated DC comic adaptation, a secret government agency recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency. About 15 minutes in, you think to yourself: “This is pretty kick ass.” About 1 hour and 15 minutes in, you think to yourself: “Well, that potential went down the crapper.” Threaded from the hole-ridden, rightly trampled-upon tapestry known as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad intends to extend the DC Comics’ filmic universe further, but really just chums the same waters for moviegoers. Dark and cynical whereas Marvel Studios is usually colorful and sarcastic, the flick is obviously part of the same overall DC Films brand, but its overall appeal to moviegoers remains dubious and, frankly, nebulous. The set-up presented in the first act grabs and holds your attention while the action proves intense throughout, but all of the grit and spit of these decent moments get traded in for routine storytelling and a villain that’s more ho hum than hoorah. Speaking of which, everybody loves a villain ... well, not every villain. Placed smack dab in the center of the story and letter perfectly realized by Margot Robbie and Will Smith (respectively), Harley Quinn and Deadshot emerge as favorites even when the script starts to turn their sympathetic characters into stock characters. Jared Leto’s hip-hop, tatted-up Joker, meanwhile, is hypnotic to watch, but almost instantly gets relegated to third-tier status. The rest of the Squad receive obligatory monologues meant to wring tears from the audience, but the audience feels its strings being deliberately pulled with an overlong bout of sob stories before moving on to a lackluster big bad showdown, a rather boring bit of witchery atop a skyscraper a la Zuul in Ghostbusters. Writer-director David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury) has the audience eating out of his hands at the outset but soon gives in to following a recipe for a dish of leftovers called mismatched-teammates-learning-to-work-together.

Sweet S on the moundS The Peach Mu

O

ne of the most iconic, anticipated festivals of the summer returns to Montage Mountain Thursday, Aug. 11, through Sunday, Aug. 14: the Peach Music Festival brings artists and fans from far and wide for four days of music and good vibes. Jam bands like Gov’t Mule, The String Cheese Incident, Trey Anastasio Band, moe., Umphrey’s McGee and the Claypool Lennon Delirium will join dozens of other artists across the festival’s four stages.

The Peach Music Festival was started as the signature festival for the Allman Brothers Band in 2012, and saw one of its largest groups of fans when the Allmans officially announced the end of touring as band in 2014, according to Dave Niedbalski, vice president of marketing at Live Nation.

“Our biggest crowd ever was the year the Allman Brothers retired and we sold completely out on Saturday night,” Niedbalski said. “This year the crowd should be pretty similar, so we are suggesting fans snag tickets early.”

The festival has seen many changes through the years, and Niedbalski said organizers’ goals have been to streamline the processes of getting so many visitors to and from the mountain. With thousands of campers and many more single-day guests, it’s no small task to get everyone checked into the venue.

“A lot of the improvements are things that are based on making the fan experience better by cutting down on time it takes for people to get to the mountain so they can start having a good time,” Niedbalski said. “We have switched to an RFID wristband for tickets, which cuts down on entry time because they have them in advance and can just scan in upon arrival. We have secured, closer parking lots to the mountain, and this year we’re using heavy-duty pickup trucks to help campers get their stuff on the mountain.”

Similar improvements were implemented during the Camp Bisco electronic and jam festival on Montage Mountain in July, which received positive feedback from fans. Rather than a lengthy process of sorting through wristbands at the gates, the

22 A u g u s t 1 1 , 2 0 1 6

ountain

sic F estival back is RFID chips allow staff members to quickly scan and verify entry.

In addition to a smoother check-in process, the Peach Festival app for iOS and Android provides fans with the latest information and invaluable guidance throughout their four days of fun.

“The app is great because it allows for realtime communication with the fans on schedule changes, festival perks, parking information and more,” Niedbalski said. “Fans can build their schedule, share content on social media and really have a one-stop shop for everything festivalrelated. It’s just a cool interactive piece for Peach fans to geek out on.”

With easily searchable artist information, fans can more easily navigate around the festival grounds and make sure to never miss a note of music, especially with last-minute lineup changes, extra sets and the spontaneous nature of Peach.

The app also enables direct alerts for fans’ safety. For instance, during Camp Bisco, dangerous lightning storms moved through the area.

Before rain even hit the ground, campers and guests were advised to seek shelter.

Of course, Peach Festival’s biggest draw isn’t an app or smooth parking — it’s all about the music, and artists like Warren Haynes return year after year with a friendly “See you at the Peach.” Haynes has been part of the festival in various incarnations of his own band, the Allman Brothers Band, sitting in with other artists and generally being spotted around the festival. This year, Haynes takes the stage with jam band staple Gov’t Mule.

The String Cheese Incident and moe. may be newcomers to the Peach Festival scene, but as staples on the broader festival circuit, they help continue to bring the jam band community together at Montage Mountain. Local fans will also spy familiar faces when Cabinet takes the stage for two sets during the festival.

Northeast Pennsylvania lost iconic guitarist George Wesley in July after a brief battle with cancer. His spirit will live on at Peach, when fans can celebrate his life and career with a Tribute to George Wesley on Sunday, Aug. 14.

Niedbalski said Peach fans have come to expect blockbuster lineups.

“When you are a new festival, you have to solicit everyone to perform, and in the early days the Allman Brothers family was a big help in that,” Niedbalski said. “Now, we have artists around the globe reaching out to us asking about performing at the Peach. It’s a real testament to the job that the Peach team and community has done to embrace the festival. Artists are sharing their positive experiences, and it’s all been super positive.”

Since its inception, Peach has become known far and wide as one of the premiere music festivals in the northeast. Niedbalski said he feels Montage Mountain has become a destination on parr with other venues that have similar large festivals.

“I’ve always said that Montage Mountaiin was one of the most beautiful places to seee a show in the country, but the festivals are finally bringing the recognition the venue and region deserve,” Niedbalski said.

Four-day passes and single-day tickets are available at thepeachmusicfestival.com. Visitors and campers are encouraged to check the website for rules and regulations. For the latest lineup and schedule information, download the Peach Music Festival app in the iTunes or Google Play stores.

Kansas

A Night of hits

Rock superstars Kansas are getting ready to bring platinum hits and brand new music to fans new and old when they headline the Misericordia University Under the Stars Summer Arts Festival on Friday, Aug. 12.

Kansas is preparing to release their first album in nearly two decades. Founding guitarist Rich Williams said while the band has toured regularly, new music was overdue.

“We haven’t recorded in 16 years,” Williams said. “We did a side project called Native Window, which was four of the five guys who were in the band. [Founding member] Steve Walsh retired two years ago, and we got a new singer, Ronnie Platt, and a new keyboard player, David Manion. We kind of had a different group of people we were looking to feature instead of the past, and we really wanted to get in and record. That was the plan, it was time to do that — Native Window was just born out of the frustration of not doing those things. We had to set a plan in motion and set aside a time to do that.

Last year we did 94 shows, which was the busiest I’ve been in probably 30 years. We set aside time to start writing and working on the album and so we went straight from touring to recording, and went right back out on the road again.”

The back-and-forth between touring and recording felt like a comfortable old routine, according to Williams.

“That’s what bands do. That was a missing part of us for a long time, being a part of creating something new and making a new record,” Williams said. “It was born out of necessity, we needed to get this out of us. Now we’ve got a team of guys,

24 A u g u s t 1 1 , 2 0 1 6

everyone is looking at what can we do next. Instead of riding the gravy train, this is why the new album is called The Prelude Implicit. A prelude is the introduction of something to come, especially applied in a musical sense. It’s an opening statement. Implicit means absolute; this is an absolute new beginning for this band as a creative force.”

Though the personnel might be different, Williams said Kansas strived to maintain a balance of new material and familiar sounds.

“We’re still Kansas,” Williams said. “We still want to be what we are. So that was part of this record — constantly looking back at our legacy and what we are, what we’re about, what we want the album to sound like, the type of portrayal, et cetera. We didn’t want to recreate ourselves, we wanted to be quintessentially ourselves. That was the approach, and that’s what we achieved — I’m so proud of this record.”

To get the word out about the new material, the band has released clips of tracks to positive feedback. Pre-orders of The Prelude Implicit are available, with the album release scheduled for Sept. 22. In addition to supporting the new album, 2016 marks the 40th anniversary of Leftoverture, which features one of the band’s most recognizable singles, “Carry on Wayward Son.” The road beckons as Kansas prepares for heavy touring.

“If you didn’t enjoy it, it would be awful,” Williams said. “People have left the band because they just couldn’t enjoy it anymore because of the grind of it. We’re going to break 100 shows this year, and that doesn’t count the days off between shows.

I’ve got a show tonight, but I spent yesterday

headlines Misericordia University’s Under the Stars Summer Arts Festival traveling to get here — so if we do 100 shows, there’s probably 150 days away from home. Then you have rehearsal days. It is a grind. You have to love it all to keep up with the pace and not let it drive you crazy. This would be a horrible job if you hated it. Fortunately, I really enjoy the travel and the camaraderie and the performing. I get a kick out of the fans. I signed up for this a long time ago, not for the fame and fortune but because I just wanted to be a part of something like this. I wanted to be in a band. We’re not an act or a combo or some entity that puts out stuff and then talks about it. We are a blue-collar, working band, and at the end of the day is the joy in doing that. It’s the reason I play guitar, so I can play the damn thing. Not to talk about playing it — I’m always looking forward to the next show, that’s what I want to do. Playing music with a bunch of guys in it for the same reason you are is really the payoff of this.”

Kansas has attracted new fans as well as longtime followers. “Carry on Wayward Son” features heavily in the hit TV show Supernatural and helps bring a crowd younger than some might expect.

“The last couple years have been really amazing with how many young people are coming,” Williams said. “We recently did a show in Wisconsin, and the entire front area was filled with not just teens, but young teens and pre-teens. They were fans of the show and they started listening to us, going deeper into the catalogue. They were singing along to the most obscure Kansas songs, it was so weird to see two girls who looked like they were 12 or 13 dancing and singing to ‘Closet Chronicles.’ It was very odd. But it’s fantastic from the stage view-

point to see that most of the fans who’ve stuck with us are our age. These kids, Billy Greer our bassist has grandkids older than some of them [laughs].

It’s very refreshing and invigorating to see.”

Williams emphasized that the integrity of the music drives members of the band to do their best for themselves and fans alike.

“Kansas has always been true to itself,” Williams said. “It’s when we’ve been our most successful, not trying to be something else, not trying to jump on any new bandwagon. To deliver to fans what they like about us, that’s the approach we took on this record. It has a new sound to it.

The recording process is different now, and it just sounds really good. The fidelity of it is tremendous.

It sounds modern sonically. The music is definitely, definitely Kansas.”

From smaller venues to arenas, Williams said Kansas plans on delivering a show to remember.

“I really enjoy it all. I’ve played from a small club to stadiums with 150,000 people,” Williams said. “We’ve done a bit of it all, and they all have their plusses and some minuses. It’s great playing in front of 100,000 people, but it’s also a little cold — the crowd is so far away it almost becomes impersonal. You have to approach it a little differently.

When people are standing right at your feet and you can see the back row, it’s a bit more intimate.

It’s all different, but it’s all good.”

Tickets to see Kansas at Misericordia University start at $20 for lawn seats. For more information, visit misericordia.edu.

potential to be my all-time favorite. But I was also a huge fan of Breaking Bad and The Office.

Do you follow sports?

I used to be a huge NBA fan, but after the Celtics blew it for a few years, I was too heartbroken to keep following it. But I’m slowly getting back into it.

I did a fantasy league last year with my brother and a couple of my friends.

WITH ALAN K. STOUT Justin Mazer is a professional musician and has performed with acts such as Misty Mountain Hop, Heavy Blonde, Leroy Justice and MiZ. This weekend, he will perform with the groups American Babies and Electron at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain as part of the Peach Festival. Mazer, 26, is a native of Shavertown and a graduate of Lake-Lehman Junior-Senior High School. He also studied at Misericordia University. He splits his residence between Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia and Vermont. Meet Justin Mazer …

In recent years, you’ve cemented your place as one of the region’s best young guitarists. How long have you been playing?

About 15 years. I was about 11 years old when I got my first guitar. The first instrument I received was actually a drum kit, which I didn’t exactly learn how to play. I’d just play and really annoy my whole family. Eventually, like most kids, I got turned on to Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and that kind of inspired me to get into guitars. It had more of an expressive quality than any other instrument that I’m familiar with. And, let’s be honest, aesthetically, it’s a pretty cool instrument to play. The whole rock star/guitar thing — if not now, at first — I think that’s definitely the reason every kid first wants to pick up a guitar.

You’re on the road a lot as a touring musician.

Do you like to travel so much?

Absolutely. I was out for about nine weeks straight in the fall on a huge national tour, which was amazing. And I’ve been on the road for a good amount of this year as well. You can find something to complain about at any job, even if it’s the best job, and travelling can definitely be stressful and strenuous, but I do love it. I never thought that playing music for a living would allow me to get from coast to coast, in each corner of the country, playing all different types of venues — big theaters, clubs and festivals. It’s allowed me to see the You played the Peach Festival in 2012 and whole country, and one of my favorite things to do 2015 and you’ll be back this week for the third is travel, so the fact that I can do that while doing time. What is it like, for someone that grew up something I love — I can’t even describe how in NEPA, to plug in at the region’s largest concert venue and on the same stage where everyone from awesome that is.

Aerosmith to David Bowie has also performed?

And as a guy from Wilkes-Barre, it’s I enjoy running and hiking. And I try to catch up something I really appreciate.

Biggest pet peeve?

I am very particular about arriving to functions on time. There are two things that I have to do as a guitar player. I have to know what I’m playing and arrive to wherever I’m playing on time. Those are my two jobs. And so if I’m ever traveling with someone that prevents me from accomplishing that, it definitely annoys me.

Do you have any pets?

I love cats, and I have one. His name is Jameson and he wears a bow-tie.

JUSTIN MAZER with family and friends. I like to go see my friends’ bands, and I like to support the local music scene as much as I can.

Favorite city?

There are a few that stick out. Telluride, Colorado. And Ashville, North Carolina. It’s like nothing else. There’s so much art and culture to it, and it has that southern hospitality. And I really love visiting Nashville. It’s everything you’d think it would be. It’s like going to a big musical amusement park.

Favorite place to vacation?

Arches National Park in southern Utah.

Favorite thing about NEPA? I love the pizza. Anybody that knows me knows that I’m a huge pizza fan. And there’s a certain charm to this area. There are certain bars and certain restaurants and certain places where you really can’t find that same vibe anywhere else. Whenever I’m home, I try to make a point to get to The Bog in Scranton. And the River Street Jazz Café is kind of where I grew up and got my start. With those places, when I walk in it feels like Cheers. Always great music and always good people.

All-time favorite movie?

Into the Wild.

Favorite TV show?

I’m just finishing up The Wire, which has the

Guilty pleasure?

I love Van Halen. But I don’t even consider that a guilty pleasure. But maybe Van Halen. And eating too much food.

Has there been anything in particular in your life that has helped shape you into the person you are today?

There have definably been a few musicians that I’ve crossed paths with that have gone out of their way to give me some opportunities. And Tom Moran, who used to manage the Jazz Cafe, booked some of my first shows outside of this area for me.

That was over 10 years ago. I don’t even know if I had my license yet. I think I was still getting rides to gigs at that point. Leroy Justice was the first band that I got a taste of what touring was like and playing some pretty big stages. Mike Mizwinski … I played with him for a number of years, and he took my guitar playing to a whole new level. And getting the call from Tom Hamilton to play in American Babies — since then, I’ve had the opportunity to play with some pretty big names, and I never would have been able to have done so otherwise. It never would have been possible.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Using scissors, snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.” On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Then observe your dreams closely. Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle.

Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This would be a good time to have a master craftsperson decorate your headquarters with stained glass windows that depict the creation stories of your favorite indigenous culture. You might also benefit from hiring a feng shui consultant to help you design a more harmonious home environment. Here are some cheaper but equally effective ways to promote domestic bliss: Put images of your heroes on your walls. Throw out stuff that makes you feel cramped. Add new potted plants to calm your eyes and nurture your lungs.

If you’re feeling especially experimental, build a shrine devoted to the Goddess of Ecstatic Nesting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You Geminis are as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity. How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings? Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings — as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This

28 A u g u s t 1 1 , 2 0 1 6

will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be vulnerable and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent. Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law and laugh at fear at least three times every day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s assume, for the sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel. Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, I’m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks.

If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences.

OK? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Although you may not yet be fully aware of your good fortune, your “rescue” is already underway. Furthermore, the so-called hardship you’ve been lamenting will soon lead you to a trick you can use to overcome one of your limitations. Maybe best of all, Virgo, a painful memory you have coddled for a long time has so thoroughly decayed that there’s almost

nothing left to cling to. Time to release it! So what comes next? Here’s what I recommend: Throw a going-away party for everything you no longer need.

Give thanks to the secret intelligence within you that has guided you to this turning point.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here comes a special occasion — a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions. Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole.

Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.

gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I placed a wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering. Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head. It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t — and start motivating you with sunny prompts about all the fun adventures you could be pursuing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you are most afraid of right now could become what fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, style of astrology I employ, I suspect that Life will attempt to move you away there is no such thing as prefrom any influences that interfere with your ability destination. So if you prefer, to discern and express your you may refuse to access the soul’s code. You know what rich fuel that’s available.

But if you are intrigued by the possibility ous forces are clearing away that those murky worries might become a source of obstacles that have been preventing you from a more inspiration, dive in and investigate. complete embodiment of your soul’s code?

PsyChoLogiCALLy sound sTRAighT TALk fRom syndiCATed CoLumnisT Amy ALkon Look on The ALwAys RighT side I’m a Harvard-educated man in my late 30s. I’ve had many ugly arguments with girlfriends, probably because I am highly opinionated and won’t give in when I’m right. I’ve always dated smart, professional women around my age, but I’m now dating a 21-yearold girl and I’m thinking this could be it. She doesn’t complain, bug me, or question or challenge me. It strikes me that having a partner who challenges you is overrated. Could this be a lifelong relationship? Can’t I just pursue intellectual discussions elsewhere?

— Peaceful

Why not take this to the next level and get an inflatable girlfriend? You wouldn’t need to feed her and you could save big on travel if you’d just let the air out of her, fold her up and stuff her in your carry-on.

This actually might make some sense. After all, conflict is bad, right? Well, not exactly. It turns out that there’s good conflict and there’s bad conflict. Bad conflict involves the stuff of “ugly arguments” — sneering, mocking and getting up on moral high ground … just so you can shoulder-check the other person off the edge. Good conflict, on the other hand, involves getting (and giving) healthy pushback — which means being what Nassim Taleb calls “antifragile.”

34 A u g u s t 1 1 , 2 0 1 6

In Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder, risk researcher Taleb, a former derivatives trader, explains that antifragile is “the exact opposite of fragile” — but it goes beyond “resilience or robustness.” Antifragile describes the way living things are improved by stressors — becoming better, stronger and more able to cope with difficult, unpredictable stuff that comes their way.

Beyond how being challenged improves you as a person, marriage researcher John Gottman finds that the happiest, most stable relationships are those in which husbands accept “influence” from wives, making wives “far less likely” to go ugly in disagreements.

This starts with what Gottman calls “deep friendship” — love between two equals with mutual respect, not one person who can’t believe his luck at finding another who, intellectually and emotionally, is basically a zygote with boobs.

Of course, this woman’s silent partner thing may just be a feature of her being 21. Increasingly, 21 is the new, oh, 8 and a half. Kids are, as Taleb might say, raised “fragile” — helicopter-parented to encounter as few stressors as possible and then bubble-wrapped off to college for more of the same. Universities, formerly centers of free speech and free inquiry, now have speech codes so nobody gets hurt feelz and

have “trigger warnings” about course material, lest someone suffer emotional trauma from something untoward in, say, Plato’s “Republic.” (Yes, college is now basically nursery school with beer.)

Still, even these kids have to grow up sometime — which is to say, your girlfriend could begin to have opinions and get a little miffy that you have a heartfelt interest in, um, never, ever hearing them.

Your welcoming opinions and influence from a partner — this woman or a more challenging (but still loving and good-natured) woman — starts with having humility, which those frail of ego tend to see as a sign of weakness. The truth is, it takes a strong person to admit that he may be wrong and maybe doesn’t know everything in the known universe (and any yet-to-bediscovered galaxies). Should this come to describe you, you might start to see the appeal of a woman with more to say than those “three little words” — “Uhhuh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.” heighT CRime My new boyfriend is sweet, successful and handsome and he rocks my world in bed. The problem?

I’m 5‘8” and he’s 5’6”. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’m just not that attracted to him when he’s standing up.

— Shallow Women like things that are tiny and cute, so it’s been kind of a trend to go around with a little dog pok-

ing out of your purse. Sadly, dressing your itsy-bitsy boyfriend in a sailor shirt and sunglasses and tossing him in your handbag has yet to catch on.

Okay, 5’6” isn’t exactly itsy-bitsy — but it might as well be to you. Your preference for taller men — which biological anthropologist Boguslaw Pawlowski finds 89 percent of women have — didn’t come out of nowhere. Tallness in a man suggests an ability to protect a woman and is associated with social status and access to resources. It also suggests good genes, because ancestors who weren’t starving to death and riddled with parasites would have had the metabolic resources to put toward growing tall.

People say looks shouldn’t matter — which doesn’t for a moment change the fact that they do.

Clearly, shortness is a deal breaker for you. This doesn’t make you “shallow.” It makes you somebody who should stop dating short guys — ideally before you blurt out your true feelings in bed: “Grow, Bradley! … I mean, ‘Oh...Bradley!’”

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 well-known 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 STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).
