WOW—Cupertino is a dumpster fire at this point. San Jose should just incorporate them and call it a day.

There are a lot of sign spinners out there advertising for newly available apartments, tax prep services or furniture blowout sales, but most of them act like they're at a tailgate—sitting on their foldout chairs, wearing their team’s baseball cap, taking it easy and just leaning their sign on the traffic light post. They might as well be sipping a beer! Not you, though, my man. You put them to shame. You treated your sign spinning duties like a halftime show. The sweeping spins and rapid twists, beautifully orchestrated to a modern musical number— you never skipped a beat, you caught every toss and you transitioned into another impressive twirly combo. You were like a Harlem Globetrotter auditioning for ‘America's Got Talent.’ Who knew cardboard could move like that? It didn't even matter that I had no clue what services you were promoting or what direction the sign meant to point to. I was just captivated at the intersection, praying to God that the light could stay red just a little bit longer.

TED VIA SAN JOSE INSIDE RE: CUPERTINO PLANNING OFFICIAL FACES BACKLASH FOR CALLING PRO-HOUSING ACTIVISTS ‘NEOLIBERAL FASCISTS,’” THE FLY, JULY 3 This guy on the Cupertino Planning Commission doesn't seem qualified to be in a responsible position. Calling people names and trying to organize others to get his critics fired from their jobs does make him kind of unhinged—perfectly normal for a random internet troll, but extremely unprofessional for someone who has been elevated to a position representing Cupertino.

That and Cupertino being a welfare bum by driving their working class onto other cities’ resources.

There was a time when civilized society settled these issues with a proper duel. Today we resort to all manner of tattling, bullyragging and skullduggery.

WEB: SanJoseInside.com An inside look at San Jose politics

Pauly’s Famous Frank ‘n Fries tanked just a year into its 10-year lease at The Plant shopping center because of the landlord’s shady shenanigans. Now, PAUL OROZCO , the eponymous owner of the defunct fast-food joint, is entitled to some of the $700,000 in attorney fees he spent suing Vornado, the company that owned the retail complex at San Jose’s Monterey Road and Curtner Avenue. The recent appeals court ruling culminates years of litigation between Orozco— who also owns the popular burrito spot Iguana’s—and Vornado Realty Trust, which owned The Plant before selling it off to Cole Real Estate Investments for a cool $205 million in 2013. In his original suit, Orozco accused Vornado leasing manager AMBER WELTNER of fraud for lying to him to close the deal and earn several thousand dollars in commission. Orozco asked multiple times whether any other businesses at the center would directly compete with his new restaurant’s focus: gourmet hot dogs. Weltner repeatedly told him that Don’t she couldn’t disclose forget what other tenants were to tip! moving in because of FLY@ Vornado’s policy against METRONEWS. discussing ongoing COM negotiations. In fact, no such policy existed. Orozco took Weltner at her word and opened Pauly’s in October 2012. Sales were great and trended up right until a new hot dog joint moved in six months later. Al’s Beef opened just a couple doors down from Pauly’s, marking the beginning of the end for Orozco’s new franchise. Over the subsequent weeks, Pauly’s sales plummeted by 35 percent. About six months after Al’s entrance to the block, Pauly’s closed for good. A jury found Vornado liable for fraud, intentional misrepresentation and $677,000 in lost profits. Now, six years after this whole saga started, Orozco will get at least some of his money back for legal fees too.

FAKE VIEWS Silicon Valley Assemblyman Marc Berman wants to outlaw deceptive videos, but there are doubts about whether a ban on so-called deepfakes would pass congressional muster.

Would Deepfakes Crackdown Threaten Free Speech? BY BEN CHRISTOPHER A California lawmaker says he knew something had to be done after watching a video of Barack Obama calling President Trump “a total and complete dipsh*t.” Set in what appears to be the Oval Office, the video also depicts the former president speaking fondly of the militant anti-colonial villain of the “Black Panther” comic franchise and claiming that Housing Secretary Ben Carson is brainwashed. The video was a fake, of course—a collaboration between the website Buzzfeed and filmmaker Jordan Peele. It’s Peele who speaks through Obama’s digitally re-rendered mouth to illustrate the dangers of A.I.constructed “deepfake” videos. It’s a solid forgery, and the technology used to make it is only getting better. “I immediately realized, ‘Wow, this is a technology that plays right into the hands of people who are trying to influence our elections like we saw in 2016,’” said Assemblyman Marc Berman, a Democrat whose district includes Silicon Valley.

So Berman has introduced a bill that would make it illegal to “knowingly or recklessly” share “deceptive audio or visual media” of a political candidate within 60 days of an election “with the intent to injure the candidate’s reputation or to deceive a voter into voting for or against the candidate.” The bill would apply to state-of-theart deepfakes, as well as to lowertech fabrications. It also makes an exception if the video or audio has a clear disclaimer that digital monkey business has been performed. Libel and forgeries are hardly new phenomena in politics. But as technological developments make it increasingly difficult to sort fake from real news, and to crack down on the dissemination of false information once it finds its way online, lawmakers are struggling to find some way to fight back. But there is at least one limit on what can be done. The US Constitution guarantees the right to free speech, making it unclear whether a ban on

convincing video forgeries would pass constitutional muster. The ACLU, the California News Publishers Association and the California Broadcasters Association all oppose the bill on First Amendment grounds. The bill cleared a hurdle last week by winning approval from a Senate committee. But at the hearing Whitney Prout, staff attorney with the publishers’ association, called the bill “an ineffective and frankly unconstitutional solution that causes more problems than it solves.” She warned that, if enacted into law, it could discourage social media users from sharing any political content online, lest it be a fake and they be held legally liable. Another possible consequence is that campaigns plaster every attack ad with a deepfake disclosure to shield themselves from lawsuits, leaving the public even more confused. “The law surrounding the First Amendment really has evolved in a pre-Internet world,” said Louis

FACEBOOK: SanJoseInside

Tompros, a partner at the law office of WilmerHale and a lecturer at Harvard. The enactment of laws such as the one Berman proposes would “force the courts to really reconcile the whole body of First Amendment law with these new phenomenon.” The method behind “deepfakery” is technically sophisticated, but its producers don’t need to be. These days, anyone with access to a YouTube tutorial and enough computing power can produce their own videographic forgery. Hence the proliferation of so many comedic or satirical deepfakes. Some strive to make a point, like the one created by Peele. Others are just Internet-grade goofy. But the technology has been used for seedier purposes. The most popular application seems to be pornographic, with online forgers digitally grafting the faces of celebrities onto the bodies of adult film actresses—without the knowledge or consent of either party. Earlier this year, Berman introduced another bill that would give anyone involuntarily depicted in a sexually explicit video—including a digital fake—the right to sue. But it seems only a matter of time before someone attempts to use the method for political purposes, he said. That conclusion was reinforced a few weeks ago when an edited video of Nancy Pelosi went viral, in which the Democratic Speaker of the House appeared to be slurring her words as if drunk or cognitively impaired. The video wasn’t a deepfake: Rather than use machine-learning algorithms, its producers opted for the more primitive methods of slowing down the footage and raising the pitch of the voice. But it still elicited a wave of bipartisan angst about the threat that forged video poses to our democratic institutions. But some civil liberties groups are concerned that lawmakers will overreact. Tompros said it would be very difficult to craft a law banning socially harmful deepfakes without sweeping up more traditional forms of political speech. “Is it a ‘deceptive audio or visual media’ if, for example, I take a 10-minute very nuanced policy speech and I clip out five seconds in the middle

where it sounds like the person is taking an extreme position?” he said. Under that standard, a significant share of attack ads produced over the last half-century would be illegal. Still, Berman’s proposal is much narrower than past legislative attempts. In 2017, Assemblyman Ed Chau, a Democrat from Monterey Park, introduced a bill that would have banned the online dissemination of any false information about a political candidate. Chau pulled the bill in the face of fierce pushback. The focus on video and audio specifically could put this year’s proposal on firmer legal ground, said Eugene Volokh, a law professor at UCLA and the founder of the Volokh Conspiracy, a law blog hosted by the libertarian magazine, Reason. Unlike a comment on climate change or the fiscal impact of tax legislation, where there is plenty of “dispute about what the actual truth is … with altered video or altered images at least the person who is originating it will tend to know what’s true and what’s false,” he said. He points to the 24 states that have criminal defamation laws making it a punishable offense to knowingly or recklessly spread false information about a person. The US Supreme Court has generally allowed these laws to remain on the books, although civil liberties organizations are fighting to change that. Berman said he thinks his bill falls into that same category. “There are restrictions around the First Amendment, including around the issue of fraud,” said Berman. “I don’t think the First Amendment applies to somebody’s ability to put fake words in my mouth.” That might have once been a figure of speech, but no more. In the latest iteration of the technology, a handful of researchers at Adobe and American and German universities, produced a new editing method that allows anyone to insert new words into a video transcript and have a person in the video speak them. The effect: using technology to literally put words into someone else’s mouth. When the researchers showed their creations to a small survey of viewers, more than half mistook the fakes for the real thing.

growth of the Vietnamese Buddhist community as a lens, I got yet another glimpse into how the city evolved over the decades, especially how various neighborhoods were annexed, cobbled together or broken up by freeways over time. This was much more fun than any San Jose tourism website. The popular An Lac Temple, for example, sits at the corner of 34th and San Fernando streets. I’d bet most of the giddy downtown boosters have never ventured past 10th Street and thus don’t even realize the intersection exists. Decades ago, this building was a residential Christian church before it was purchased and transformed into the elaborate Buddhist temple it is today. In the book, Le includes a photo of what the building looked like in 2002. It was much different. Continuing eastward from An Lac, one can eventually discover Foss Avenue, a tiny dead-end street that follows the edge of Highway 680, going south from Alum Rock Avenue. On this short stretch of road, the Duyen Giac Buddhist Center occupies a nondescript solid brown building behind a six-foot fence. No signage exists until one turns down an unmarked cul-de-sac to see a placard at the back. No one would possibly notice the place, but Sounds of the Bamboo Forest mentions this organization, established in 1990. It turns out the unmarked cul-de-sac is a leftover piece of San Fernando Street from 50 years ago. Heading back toward downtown, at 766 S. Second St., one finds the Tịnh Xa Ngoc Hoa temple, likewise right in the middle of a residential block. The temple moved onto this property in 1993, after its previous location in the east hills received numerous complaints from neighbors. It’s a huge twostory facility with a basement, an eat-in kitchen, a parking lot, monk’s quarters and a youth facility. In the process of riding from temple to temple, I segued down 22nd Street and by sheer chance discovered Chua Quang Duc, the Congregation of A Thousand Eyes Buddhist Temple. I didn’t even have to look. It was right there waiting for me, as were other temples off Story, Tully, McLaughlin and White roads. Who needs $4,000 temple tours in faraway countries? We got it all right here.

TEMPLE TOUR Vietnamese Buddhist churches populate the far flung corners of San Jose BY GARY SINGH

WENT LOOKING for Vietnamese Buddhist churches in East San Jose and found some forgotten pieces of San Fernando Street in the process. It began with a long lost text resurfacing at just the right time. In 2002, San Jose resident Huu Do Le published Sounds of the Bamboo Forest: Buddhist Churches of America in the Vietnamese Tradition. A review copy showed up at Metro, and apparently I took it home with

the intention of reviewing the book and then forgot about it. I have no memory of this, but after some recent domestic reorganization, I rediscovered the book. At least according to the Tibetan tradition, sometimes a key text is buried and stored away for a later date, like a time capsule, with the intention of resurfacing at the opportune karmic moment. Now is that moment. Sounds of the Bamboo Forest features essays and exhaustive research on how the Vietnamese diaspora gradually established a Buddhist presence in the U.S., especially in

California. The sections on San Jose include photos and histories of various temples in obscure residential pockets of the East Side that no one ever visits. The reader takes away important stories of how the diaspora struggled to get a foothold in swaths of suburbia that didn’t always want them, often having to relocate their temples to other parts of town. Le came to San Jose in 1990 and also served as executive editor of Viet News from 1993 to 1998. But this is not a book review. Instead, I took to the street on a Lyft bike with Le’s book in the basket and went searching for the structures he wrote about. In the process I discovered additional Vietnamese temples by sheer accident. Since the book is 17 years old, many more temples have emerged since it was published. The whole adventure brought to mind numerous columns I wrote years ago in which I explored various pockets of old San Jose that no one cares about. This time, using the

“I

’M A NOBODY,” Jeff Larsen says with a laugh. Most weekdays, the West San Jose resident works as a real estate agent. On weekends, he spends time with his family and friends. On occasion, he boards a commercial aircraft for some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones, where he dons a long-haired wig with bangs, a leopardprint shirt, tight jeans and a blazer and belts out “Don’t Stop Believin’” for a crowd of American and allied troops.

On days like these, Larson isn’t entirely himself. He is Perry Stevens— frontman for Journey Unauthorized, a tribute to one of the biggest bands to ever come out of the Bay Area. Aside from playing the normal tribute band gigs—casinos, private parties and fairs (his band plays the Santa Clara County Fair on Aug. 4)— Larson has forged a relationship with a booking agent handling overseas entertainment for service members. “We’re his favorite Journey tribute band,” Larson says. “He just works with us.” It’s not exactly a normal gig for a tribute group, Larson says, but it

is definitely exciting and the pay is pretty good. Plus, when he and his band aren’t playing in regions where they have to worry about enemy fire, they get to do some sightseeing. Six months back Journey Unauthorized played at a base in Jordan, and he and the guys took a trip to Israel. “It’s a rush,” he says, “especially for a guy who never made it. This is icing on the cake.” Since the earliest days of the Elvis Presley impersonator, tribute bands have found a place in the music scene as a way for audiences to hear their favorite songs from their favorite artists in a more accessible setting. Tribute

bands also allow casual music fans to attend a concert and know exactly what they are getting for their ticket. While tribute bands have long been seen as a niche in music, they’ve exploded in popularity in the last 20 years as classic rock icons have retired or passed on. Now, for many fans, venues and musicians, tribute bands have increasingly become the bread and butter in the live music business. In the South Bay, venues both large and small regularly turn to tribute acts to draw crowds. The Ritz in downtown San Jose has two tribute shows scheduled for the second half

Playing Tribute Whether they do it for love, money or both, the rock & roll animals behind these local tribute bands are all having a blast BY NICK VERONIN & CHARLIE SWANSON of July alone. This Charming Band, a Smiths and Morrissey act, plays the club on Jul. 20; Temptation, which specializes in New Order, headlines the following weekend, Jul. 20. Just last week a group called Brit Floyd played at the Mountain Winery, bringing spot-on Pink Floyd covers and a serious light show to the Saratoga open-air theater. While Brit Floyd is based out of the UK and regularly tours the world, many tribute acts keep things local. Aside from the armed forces shows, Journey Unauthorized tends to stay on the West Coast. The same goes for The Killer Queens (Queen), Maroon

Vibes (Maroon 5), Petty Theft (Tom Petty), Zeparella (Led Zeppelin) and the Sun Kings (The Beatles)—all of whom are based locally.

DIFFERENT STROKES “I saw The Cure in 1989,” says Mark Sharp, bassist for This Charming Band as well as Bloodflowers, a tribute to The Cure. He remembers that show—and the time he saw Morrissey, in 1992—fondly. When he first began playing his own music, he was attempting to emulate groups like The Smiths and U2. “That’s what shaped me as a musician.”

He’s worked in many bands, including The Trims, that write original material, and has always enjoyed that process. But, he says, playing in a tribute band is something entirely different. “The appeal for me is trying to recapture what those shows meant to me and what those records meant to me so many years ago.” As for Morgan Hill resident Joe Urbano, his striking resemblance to Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine led him to front Maroon Vibes. A family man with a career in the semiconductor industry, on weekends Urban slips on nylon

tattoo sleeves and runs through the Maroon 5 catalog with his band at parties and community events. They’ll be playing the Gilroy Garlic Festival at the end of July. Urbano, who has always written and performed his own music, says playing in a tribute is a way for him to keep up with a hobby that he loves while making a little cash on the side. “I never thought I’d be in a tribute band, honestly,” he shrugs. “But if you just love music and performing, why not?” For Nina Noir, a big part of the appeal is the energy and appreciation she feels when she is on stage.

San Jose native fronts the Killer Queens, an all female Queen tribute. While she’s written and continues to write original tunes, she says her own music has never taken her far. “It’s very difficult to be a female rock vocalist,” she says. “Bands typically want men”—especially in the genres that she’s always gravitated toward, namely hard rock and metal. In the Killer Queens she doesn’t worry about those kinds of politics. “Freddie Mercury is probably the perfect front person to gender-bend,” she says. And judging by her success, she’s got a point. The Killer Queens have a packed summer schedule that takes them up and down the West Coast, to Las Vegas and even to Miami. They’ll be playing the Santa Clara County Fair on Aug. 2 and they have a few Facebook corporate parties on in their datebook as well. Looking back, Noir doesn’t regret going this route. “This opened a lot of doors for me,” she says.

Veteran hard-rock drummer Clementine first fell in love with Led Zeppelin as a youngster listening to KMET radio in Southern California, and when she began to hit the skins herself, she realized just how much influence Zeppelin drummer John Bonham had on her musical aspirations. In 2004, Clementine was looking to better learn those Zeppelin songs and the drum parts she loved. She hooked up with guitarist Gretchen Menn, who admired Jimmy Page as much as Clementine admired Bonham, and the two formed the Bay Area’s all-female tribute band Zepparella. “When we started it, we looked at it being a practice project,” says Clementine. “Shortly after, we started talking about, ‘Why not do it onstage?’” For Clementine, it was and still is all about the music. “I wanted to get better as a drummer, and why not go to the source of how I got into playing drums?” she says. “I feel like I came into this through the back way. It wasn’t that I set out to start a tribute band; it was that I wanted to learn this stuff and see what happens.” Even 15 years into the band,

Clementine notes that she’s still learning from Bonham. “We just keep going forward because it’s so musically exciting,” she says. “Led Zeppelin is maybe the only band that I could continue to play for 15 years, and a lot of that is because we take parts of the songs and develop them through improvisation onstage, and Led Zeppelin gives us that freedom because they were so improvisational in the way they presented the music. It enables us to create new parts of songs, new ways to approach songs. It’s always changing.” In addition to the musical explorations afforded to her in Zepparella, Clementine appreciates that the band can act as a steady source of income and help her develop an audience for her other singer-songwriter projects. “The creative process as far as being able to write something from scratch with other musicians is a beautiful thing, and I have that in the other projects I do,” she says. “I value it all. I feel like one feeds the other, what I learn from Zeppelin is what I take to my original writing, and parts of my original writing I put into the drumming with Zepparella.” This year, Zepparella is offering fans a way to learn the songs themselves, with the newly launched Zepparella Learning Channel on YouTube, a series of videos in which the members teach the audiences their parts to a Led Zeppelin tune. So far, the series has featured “When the Levee Breaks” and “Immigrant Song.” “It’s been a remarkable learning experience for us to teach these songs,” says Clementine. “For 15 years we’ve been learning all these little things that you learn playing this music onstage, and to be able to share that freely with people, it feels like we’re able to give a little back from what we’ve gained playing the music.” Obviously, Led Zeppelin will never play together in concert again. And even if classic rock acts like the Rolling Stones or AC/DC are still touring, they’re not playing in venues with four walls; they’re in stadiums that often don’t offer the intimacy that a club can provide. Clementine sees Zepparella as a way for audiences to experience the classic rock of yesterday in an intimate setting. “To be able to get swallowed up by theses

Tribute bands come in many forms. Not to be confused with cover bands, which play a variety of different songs by well known pop artists, tribute acts tend stick exclusively to a single group’s repertoire. Some make an effort to approximate the look and feel of the bands to which they are paying homage. Others go all out, springing for custom costumes, special effects and even purchasing the same gear used by the bands they are aping. It’s practically like a Broadway show. In fact, while it’s hard to pinpoint the origin of the tribute act as a distinct type of live musical entertainment, some point to Beatlemania, the Broadway musical revue, as the start of it all. Debuting in 1977 and running through 1979, the show was billed as “Not the Beatles, but an incredible simulation.” Monroe Grisman, the guitarist and vocalist for the Marin- and San Francisco-based Petty Theft, says he’s seen some very convincing

songs in a smaller venue is where the power is,” she says. Zepparella continues to thrive because of the power of those Led Zeppelin songs, and Clementine says the tribute band has lasted so long because of the musicians she’s been able to share that power with. “I value the people I’ve played with in the past and now,” she says. “It’s a great experience. I wouldn’t trade it.”

simulations in his day. “I just saw a Genesis tribute band with set designs and period-specific gear,” Grisman says. “And there’s certain value for that, like for me that was the closest thing I’ll ever get to seeing Peter Gabriel-era Genesis in 1973.” Forgoing the costumes themselves, Petty Theft focuses on performing the music and honoring the sound, while also adding their own flourishes and taking liberties that keep the concerts fresh for fans. “I think it’s why we’ve built up a pretty amazing following now: People like that we are not trying to be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; rather, we always pay tribute and we always give it up to the real deal.” And the real deal has given it up back at them, with Heartbreakers drummer Steve Ferrone meeting the band through a mutual friend and sitting in with Petty Theft three times over the years. “It’s been an amazing honor,” says Grisman. Noir has also earned the blessing of original Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May. Taylor gave her the OK in person, when she and her band attended the premiere of the recent Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, at the Castro Theater in San Francisco.

“They 100 percent thought it was wonderful.”

ROCK DOCTRINE Things don’t always go so well for tribute acts. Paul B. Ungar, Esq. is a New Jersey-based entertainment lawyer concentrating in intellectual property and contracts. He has advised Noir on how to best avoid legal blowback with her Killer Queens endeavor. It’s not the performance of any given song or string of songs that is the issue, Ungar explains. If a tribute band is playing at a club that is on the up-and-up—that is, a venue that is in good standing with the major music licensing organizations BMI, ASCAP and SESAC—the tribute act is covered. However, things get trickier as a tribute band gets larger, begins to market itself, creates promotional material featuring its own performances of other artists’ material and endeavors to take on the likeness of a celebrity. The kind of satire and parody that a show like Saturday Night Live engages

in is recognized as free speech and is protected. But when someone is using an artist’s likeness and performing their music in the way that tribute acts do, the waters are far murkier. “It really comes down to how the famous band reacts,” Ungar says. “Technically, it is violating all sorts of laws.” In the past, Ungar says, Apple Corps—The Beatles’ recording label—has gone after successful Beatles tribute acts and won. And the late Prince was known for having a serious distaste for tribute acts that sought to profit from his catalog and image. In 2008, the Purple One sued a group of Norwegian artists who had recorded an album of covers intended to honor the artist for his 50th birthday. Still, most of the bands interviewed for this story weren’t too concerned

with getting slapped with a lawsuit— even Larson, who says he has dealt with “cease and desist” letters from Journey in the past. “They came after us in the beginning,” Larson recalls, adding that there are now so many Journey tribute bands that it’s probably hard for the band’s label and lawyers to keep up. “I’m just not on their radar anymore.” Practically speaking, Ungar says, even though the tribute acts often “don’t have a leg to stand on,” the original bands simply allow them to do their thing. As Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich learned in the aftermath of Napster, it never looks good when a massive band goes after the little guy. Plus, Ungar adds, “What happens in real life is that some bands are more than happy to let tribute bands co-exist. That just increases the value of their brand.”

ENUINE HEROS has long been one of the best kept secrets in the San Jose sandwich game. Their house-cured meats, locally made bread and quality cheese and veggie selections made for one of the best sandwiches I’d ever had. Unfortunately, they closed last June—likely due to their crummy location, tucked away in a mostly empty strip mall in south San Jose’s Edenvale neighborhood.

more centrally located digs in downtown San Jose—at the former Nick’s Pizza at Eighth and Santa Clara streets—they now have room to expand the menu beyond sandwiches. They now serve pizza as well as liquor and craft brews on tap. Last Round’s house specialty pizzas will essentially be their signature sandwiches in pizza form. Think a meatball sub pie; brisket and arugula pizza; or even a Cuban pie—complete with a delicious mustard-based sauce.

New Beans

The new Voyager has essentially taken over the former location of B2—located inside the Garage Building at the corner of San Pedro and W. St. John streets. This should come as a relief to java connoisseurs, considering the last few months have also seen the shuttering of SoPo and The Proper Cup. Voyager is known for their singleorigin beans, latte art and worldly signature drinks, which transport coffee lovers around the world—such as the Santiago which features cinnamon, chocolate, ginger and cayenne.

Soup’s On The popular S.F. Korean restaurant DAEHO KALBI JJIM & BEEF SOUP has opened a new location in Milpitas—replacing another similar soup spot, Soup by Parks BBQ. The SF location is known for two-hour-plus waits, but devotees swear by its meat sweat-inducing soups, like the galbi-tang (beef rib soup) and seolleong-tang (ox bone soup). So far the Calaveras Boulevard location is flying under the radar, but my guess is it won’t take long before South Bay foodies hop onto the kalbi-train.

It’s a classic good news-bad news situation for fans of YUMEYA SUSHI, which closed up shop last year. First, the good news. They’ve reopened in a new location. The bad news is it’s in Walnut Creek. Now fans of their fresh sashimi and rolls will have to schlep up to Contra Costa County.

Bubbling Up Word on the street is that Nick’s Next Door founder Nick Difu will be opening a new, grown-up soda shop right next door to… well, Nick’s Next Door. LOS GATOS SODA WORKS will take the place of the former cigar shop that once occupied the neighboring space. They will be featuring small plates, classic cocktails and a new line of signature craft cocktails put together by Nick’s award-winning master bartender, Jason D. Seele—who used to front the bar at JACK ROSE LIBATION HOUSE. Seele is renowned for his innovative, boundary-pushing cocktails, and one look at the upcoming menu shows that trend continuing with ingredients like a Japanese whiskey, apples and Lillet Blanc wine in their Golden Age cocktail. No hard date has been set for the opening, but last I heard was late summer.

Championing political activism and social justice through his verses, rapper, actor and philanthropist Common constantly adapts his artistic direction to reflect the changing world. Since his beginnings in Chicago—alongside veteran producer No I.D of Def Jam Records and GOOD Music—his frequent collaborations with icons like J. Dilla, Erykah Badu and Kanye West have placed Common at the center of forward-thinking hip hop across generations. His thought-provoking flow and the soulful influences of his recent projects have kept Common fresh and relevant in the landscape of contemporary hip-hop. (MP)

It’s been 40 years since legendary Bay Area punk pioneers Flipper kicked off their highly individualistic career—garnering praise from critics around the country and influencing future rock legends as diverse as Kurt Cobain, Moby and The Melvins. Veterans of the old school San Francisco rock scene, these postpunk trendsetters are celebrating their anniversary by hitting the road with The Jesus Lizard vocalist David Yow and bassist Rachel Thoele for a Northern California tour. San Jose punk icons Ribzy and Salinas punk band Infirmities share the bill for this show. (MP)

This Punjabi pop star made waves in the music industry earlier this year with “Slowly Slowly.” The cross-cultural hit featuring Pitbull became the most-viewed music video on Youtube in 24 hours. Also known for his 2017 hit, “Lahore,” Rhandawa writes catchy multilingual songs while fusing genres like Bhangra and Bollywood. Signed to the vastly popular Indian record label, T Series, Rhandawa has achieved international acclaim over the past few years, and has become the most viewed Indian singer on YouTube. Rhandawa kicks off his North American tour this week with a performance at the Civic Center. (MP)

San Jose hard-blues heavyweights Zed are back with their third full-length effort, Volume. “This album is definitely next level for us,” says bassist Mark Aceves. The group’s new drummer—veteran Bay Area musician Sean Boyles— does more than hammer away on Zed’s latest LP; he helped with songwriting and arrangements as well, which not only helped with rhythmic energy but pushed the entire group to stretch into new territory. As with their past two albums, Zed tapped longtime producer Tim Narducci to coax the most brutal performances possible from the South Bay quartet. Volume officially drops Jul. 26, but will be available to fans at the Fox show. (NV)

Local guitarist and composer Mason Razavi looms large in the Bay Area jazz scene. His critically acclaimed albums and regular engagements with the San Jose Jazz Festival are a testament to his expertise and sensitivity as an artist. Razavi’s latest project, Quartet Plus, Vol. 2, highlights his creativity as a forward thinking musician and showcases his elegant and nuanced dedication to engaging musical storytelling. Original compositions on this album like “When the Ink Ran Dry” speak of a master who has carefully crafted his own voice. Razavi’s performance at the Art Boutiki will feature fellow local veteran, saxophonist Anton Schwartz. (MP)

HISTORICAL DANCE Two dancers perform at Mesopotamian Night in 2017.

Language Arts Organizer of Mesopotamian Night aims to preserve Assyrian language, culture BY ERIKA RASMUSSEN

HOUSANDS OF years ago, the Tigris and Euphrates served as the lifeblood of ancient Mesopotamia. This “land between two rivers”—sometimes referred to as the Fertile Crescent and the Cradle of Civilization— produced one of the first advanced economies, based on complex agriculture and long-distance trade. The resulting stability gave birth to a number of thriving societies, including the Assyrians.

Assyrian culture dates back to around 2500 BCE. In the ensuing

millennia, war, regime change and environmental shifts have led to mass exodus. Today, the Assyrian diaspora covers the globe. Northern California is host to a strong community of Assyrian peoples, some of whom are working tirelessly to preserve the traditions of their ancestors. Tony Khoshaba is one such individual. Since 2007, he has curated a yearly event called Mesopotamian Night, which celebrates Assyrian culture by showcasing ancient traditions and championing the preservation of one of the world’s oldest surviving languages through an evening of music and performing arts. Khoshaba was born in Iran and immigrated to the US after the

revolution of 1979, when the reigning monarchy was overthrown and replaced with an Islamic republic. He grew up learning the language now known as modern Assyrian, Aramaic or Neo-Aramaic—a language tied to the Aramaic of the Christian Bible. Khoshaba’s mentors urged him to maintain the language no matter where life took him. Khoshaba took heed. The founder and director of Mesopotamian Night hosts the 11th installment of the event on Jul. 13. Proceeds from this evening go straight to northern Iraqi schools that teach the language Mesopotamian Night is trying to preserve—humanitarian aid in the form of an education that honors the Assyrian tradition. Mesopotamian Night is both a showcase of culture and a party. The festivities begin at 5pm with wine and conversation. The variety show starts at 7pm, spotlighting traditional and modern Assyrian art and performance. In many of the vignettes, the Assyrian language takes center stage. Kicking things off is a 28-piece orchestra and choral group performing a piece titled Qala d’ Qarna. The lyrics

were written more than a century ago by Dr. Freydun Atturaya, an Assyrian physician and activist; the music was composed about 40 years ago and has since been rearranged for the symphony orchestra. Then it’s on to the San Joseproduced Assyrian musical comedy Majnawta, or Eloping. Fed up with the barriers they face in prerevolution Iran, Ashur and Ashorina decide to get hitched on their own. During an intermission, attendees can bid on Assyrian art including sculpture, painting and calligraphy. After the auction, the evening takes a contemporary turn, as Emanouel Bet Younan and Talal Graish sing popular Assyrian hits backed by a live band. The artistic director of the production, Fred Elieh, says Mesopotamian Night has revolutionized Assyrian cultural expression. According to Elieh, the event led to the creation of the first Assyrian musical—2012’s The Tall Handsome Prince. He also contends that the first Assyrian opera was inspired by Mesopotamian Night. For Khoshaba, that’s great news. The more Assyrians who create using their native tongue, the better. Only 2 to 3 million people globally speak the Assyrian language presently, Khoshaba explains, and an event like Mesopotamian Night helps to galvanize the preservation effort. “I think we have a cause that is important internationally, too. This language has historical significance,” Khoshaba says. “We don’t want this language to die, because it’s part of world heritage.” This ancient language provides a vital key to understanding history, particularly through the study of ancient texts. Dating back to at least the Bronze Age, many of humanity’s most cherished stories, myths and historical accounts were first recorded in Assyrian. Given this fact, Khoshaba says even non-Assyrians should be able to see the importance of preserving this ancient language.

and introducing a subscription model.

Return To Form BALLET IS OFFICIALLY back in San Jose, as the New Ballet begins its residency the Hammer Theatre Center in downtown. The city has not had a full-subscription ballet company since Silicon Valley Ballet—previously known as Ballet San Jose—folded in 2016. Lauded for their popular annual production, The San Jose Nutcracker—an original take on the classic Tchaikovsky ballet, set in early 20th-century San Jose—the New Ballet consists of a dance school and studio company comprising 14 full-time dancers ages 17 to 24. Dalia Rawson, who performed and worked for Ballet San Jose, founded the New Ballet in 2016. She says the new partnership with the Hammer represents a milestone for the troupe. "The return of a full dance season to downtown San Jose fills a longtime void in our cultural landscape,” Rawson says, adding that the New Ballet represents a new model for a ballet company—one that differs significantly from older and more established groups. New Ballet’s studio company is structured as a two- or three-year incubator for young dancers. “Part of the program is providing a lot of career setting and counseling,” Rawson says. Unlike major ballet companies, where dancers must work for years as part of the corps before even getting a chance to audition for a leading role, Rawson’s company aims to launch dancers’ careers by moving its performers to leading roles quickly. That means that talented dancers will inevitably leave the company for larger organizations—which Rawson is OK with. It also means that audiences see iconic roles performed differently. “Our dancers are young, they’re hungry and they take a lot of risks on stage,” Rawson says. “It’s really exciting to see young performers testing their wings like that right off the bat.” Rawson is also the choreographer and creative visionary behind San Jose Nutcracker, which has sold out every year it’s been staged. In the upcoming season, San Jose Nutcracker will be accompanied by the New Ballet Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Shoebotham, alongside contemporary ballet bill Fast Forward (a collection of contemporary works), and a production of the classic Swan Lake.

LIFE AS A HOUSE Jimmie Fails falls in love with a home he cannot have in ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco.’

The Siege In ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco,’ a homeless dreamer tries to capture a castle BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

AN FRANCISCO IS nothing but a series of steep hills that people cling to until the gravity gets them. The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a remarkable film in the way it evokes that downward pull.

It’s all about a dispossessed young man and the best friend who lives with him and studies him. Jimmie Fails (played by Jimmie Fails) was homeless for half his life. He’s obsessed with a Victorian house on the edge of the Fillmore; he surreptitiously tends to it, lovingly

painting the windowsills even as the current tenants pelt him with fruit from Whole Foods. He’s crashing in Hunters Point, sharing a small house on a hill underneath the Sunnydale projects with his close friend, Mont (Jonathan Majors), and Mont’s blind grandad (Danny Glover). The well-dressed Mont is always watching, always sketching, and always on the verge of finishing a play. Soon Mont has a subject: Jimmy feels this wooden castle of a Victorian is a family treasure. After a dispute leaves it vacant, the young man reclaims the place, if only as a squatter.

Mont and Jimmy’s relationship is a little tiptoe—there’s room for speculation about their apparent lack of interest in women. (Later in life, a person might well be more fascinated with real estate than sex, but these are young men we’re talking about.) The sexlessness is likely a deliberate contrast of these characters to the hyper-macho world around him. That world is represented by a Greek chorus of five street loungers, raucously bitter mockers and ruffians. (One, stumbling over a lost hair weave, rolling in the wind across the street: “That’s one nastyass tumbleweed there.”) Note how compassionately the film observes the way people who are underneath the underdog ceaselessly goad each other. Gentrification is coming even for this remote stretch of San Francisco. But director Joe Talbot is too thoughtful to satirize the new arrivals in the way Mike Leigh went after the savage, infantile yuppies the Boothe-Brains in Life Is Sweet (1991). Talbot, part of a noted SF family of journalists and actors, keeps his eye

is on what’s left of life there—he charts what hasn’t been bulldozed out, in one slow, dreamy street scene after another, haloed with pearly or coppery fog. The Last Black Man in San Francisco evokes SF sorrow even up to the point of symbolism. When Jamie says, “Our sweat is in these shingles,” we see the rain dripping from them. Yet it has its funny side, as in a passage with Mike Epps as Bobby, a vagabond parsing the meaning of the word “alone.” Bobby takes harsh pleasure in his independence, and the car he sleeps in is decorated with Christmas lights. Nice also to see a longtime fighter against the forces bleaching San Francisco as if it were a doomed coral reef: Jello Biafra has a small role as an idiotic, Segway-mounted tour guide. Certain theatrical contrivances didn’t quite metamorphose into cinema. Exposed to the harsh light of a projector, material made for a play reveals its holes. The third act goes off track during a small play staged in a Victorian attic. The exposure of a key character’s fantasies in a public truth-telling session comes off as bald staginess. Worse is the scene where James begs for a mortgage with no more collateral than his deep feelings for the house. And yet The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a beautifully made study of disillusionment and urban dispossession. Fails superbly underplays this man in thrall to a vision. Adam Newport-Barra’s photography is up with the best visions of the city ever screened: a hill flattened by a long lens to look as steep as a Diebenkorn cityscape, the zeroing-in on a window in a Tenderloin SRO hotel where Jimmy’s scalding father lives; at last, the wrenching finale, a scene in an open boat on oily purple water. Jimmy’s conversation with a couple of newby white girls on the Muni is a line that will be quoted as long as there’s a San Francisco: What he says is as wise as the saying by whomever it was— probably not Mark Twain—about the coldest winter they ever spent.

JULY 10-16, 2019 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

BRIGHT FRIGHT ‘Hereditary’ director Ari Aster produces a worthy, and terrifying, encore with ‘Midsommar.’

Cult Classic WITH HIS LATEST film Midsommar, director Ari Aster takes up an unsettling yarn and unravels it completely. Aster, whose critically acclaimed Hereditary hit theaters just last summer, sprinkles his latest twisted tale with ceremonial obscurities, hefty doses of psilocybin and plenty of moral delinquency— concocting a narrative about moving on and emotional rebirth. Featuring eerie Swedish maidens clad in white, Midsommar’s official trailer was misleading in the best kind of way, setting the scene and audience expectations long before the film hit theaters. Some anticipated the movie would be a slasher flick that wittingly paid homage to the 1975 cult horror flick, Wicker Man. But Aster being Aster, Midsommar isn’t so much about the freaky Nordic festival where it is set as it is about the participants—specifically Dani and Christian. In the style of Aster’s previous female-fronted film, Dani Midsommar (Florence Pugh) is a central focus of Midsommar. Pugh is a delight, whether she’s dancing around the Maypole for hours or R; 147 Mins. sobbing until she faints. Pugh makes Toni Collette’s performance Valleywide in Hereditary seem mild by comparison, conjuring a character so riddled by loss and pain that one can’t help but become emotionally invested in her well being. Midsommar is absolutely petrifying and definitely has the upper hand on Hereditary, with a faster pace and generally more explicit moments, including a rather efflorescent sex scene. Aster isn’t concerned with censoring the graphic parts of his films, throwing viewers head first into the carnage. His films thrive off of shock factor; hence, the iconic gore scenes in Hereditary. In illustrating the heinous side of humanity, Aster exposed viewers to the characters’ extensive range of emotions. Paralleling Hereditary, Midsommar fixates on the raw emotions associated with loss, particularly grief-induced hysteria. The moments depicting drug use initially allude to Paddy Brethnach’s Shrooms, with hallucinogens becoming the film’s catalyst. But Aster’s subtle, unnerving visions imitating a psychedelic trip are executed so the drugs don’t play too big of a role or steal the show. If anything, the psilocybin trips provided a few lighter moments in this summer’s most terrifying film. Midsommar wouldn’t be a true art-house horror film without montages of arcane imagery paired with an anxiety-inducing score, composed by Bobby Krilic—a.k.a. the Haxan Cloak. Coupled with Aster’s talent for devising excruciatingly uncomfortable scenes full of undeniable tension, the duo crafted what some are saying is this year’s creepiest film score. After riding this rollercoaster of liturgical sacrifice, you won’t be able to get Krilic’s composition or Pugh’s heart-wrenching wails out of your head. —Kael B. Austria

STILL STANDING Despite a rough streak of breakups and bad luck, Cage the Elephant marches on.

Banged Up Cage the Elephant go ‘Night Running’ with Beck, Spoon at Shoreline BY MIKE HUGUENOR

RAD SCHULTZ ISN’T supposed to be in Nashville. “We should be on a little run in Europe, festivals and things,” says the Cage the Elephant guitarist, “but our guitar player smashed his knee up pretty bad. He’s actually having surgery right now, as we speak.”

The accident occurred roughly 15 minutes into a recent festival set in the Netherlands. As the band played “Cold Cold Cold,” from 2015’s Tell Me I’m Pretty, guitarist Nick Bockrath approached the audience for his guitar solo, jumping off the drum riser toward the front of the stage. “And he just landed weird,” Schultz

says. “He tore his ACL, tore his TCL and fractured his tibia. Pretty gnarly injury.” While Bockrath is now on his way to recovery, the on-stage accident was only the latest in a series of misfortunes, heartbreaks and tragedies to befall the Grammy-winning band. In just a few short years, the group encountered deaths, divorce, and overdoses—much of which became the influence for this year’s moody, slick Social Cues. “We’ve always wanted our records to reflect the things that we’ve been through, leading up to that record,” Schultz says. “And it was a tough time in life for everybody. In the span of the last two or three years, we’ve had close to 10 of our friends and family members pass away. At one time it seemed like this never-ending wave

of doom. And at the same time, Matt was going through his own struggles within his personal relationship.” In lead single “Ready to Let Go,” singer Matt Schultz (Brad’s brother) details a portentous trip to the ruins of Pompeii with his then-wife. “Sun went down over Pompeii,” he sings, over snapping guitar and a buzzsaw synth line. “On holy ground, our vows were broken.” With the doomed city as its backdrop and central metaphor, “Ready to Let Go” builds to a huge chorus in which Schultz describes himself striking a match and spreading the ashes of his relationship. “He was digging very deep,” Brad says of his brother’s lyrical process. “Sometimes those words are hard to sing when you’re in the middle of it, the middle of that kind of pain. I think in the end, though, the record became very therapeutic for us.” Cage the Elephant come to Shoreline this week as part of the Night Running Tour they’re co-headlining with Beck. The tour draws its name from the band’s new single, which features their tour mate as a guest vocalist. “We had only met him one time,” Schultz says, “but we started thinking about doing some kind of feature on

the track and Beck just popped into my mind. We sent it on a whim, not even really thinking we’d hear back. And within maybe 24 hours he sent us back a demoed version with the verses that he’d put on there. He said he had four more verses if we wanted to hear more!” “Night Running” is a clear album highlight—a dub-heavy pop jam that finds Beck rapping on the first verse and playing hype man on the chorus. The interplay of the voices, the backand-forth chorus and the consistent forward momentum all make for one of the band’s most inspired songs yet. It also, hopefully, signals a step away from their recent run of bad luck. “I think we’re in a good place, other than Nick’s knee,” Schultz says, chuckling. “We’re finally getting back to a bit of normalcy. Knock on wood. I feel like I’m constantly holding my breath even just saying that.”

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

metroactive.com | sanjose.com | metrosiliconvalley.com | JULY 10-16, 2019

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’m a 36-year-old single man. I see buying a woman dinner as a nice part of courting. Lately, however, women keep pretending to be interested in me only to vanish after I’ve taken them out for an expensive dinner. How can I avoid women who just want to use me as a meal ticket?—Duped A first date should be an opportunity to get acquainted—with you, that is, not wine from Napoleon’s private stock and steak from a cow that attended French boarding school. Welcome to the “foodie call”—a woman dating a man she isn’t attracted to in order to get a free meal. Social psychologist Brian Collisson and his colleagues surveyed heterosexual women to see whether they’d deceived men to get free eats. Though the women “generally” rated foodie calls as unacceptable, about a quarter to a third of the women they polled reported engaging in a foodie call. Helpfully, Collison and his team found that there’s a particular type that tends to milk men out of meals, and it’s women who scored high in the “dark triad.” This is a three-pack of antisocial personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism. Machiavellianism involves a tendency to manipulate and deceive others for

personal gain. Psychopathy is marked by a lack of empathy and remorse. The researchers note that people who score high in it are unlikely to consider their date’s perspective and “the intense negative emotions” that come from being led on. And finally, there’s narcissism. Narcissists are self-adoring, self-focused, entitled creeps who tend to be “socially adept.” As for how to filter out the gourmet grifters, I always advise that first dates (and maybe even second dates) should be three things: cheap, short and local. I write in Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck that you should meet for happy hour drinks or coffee for an hour or two at most. “This helps keep things from going too fast (a big source of misery and resentment).” Additionally, “If a date turns nightmarish, it will at least be a Hobbesian nightmare: nasty and brutish but also short.” Finally, and more to the point of your question, it’s pretty hard to feel taken for a ride on a coffee date: “Man, did she ever play me for that double decaf latte!”

I’m on Twitter, and occasionally, I’ll tweet something seemingly innocuous and then have dozens or even hundreds of enraged strangers attack me with ugly tweets. What’s the best response when this happens?—Besieged You can take the careful approach on social media, staying away from hotbutton topics like politics and animal rights—only to get a beatdown from a Twitter mob for your #totalitarian!!! #whitenationalist!!! aversion to aftermarket eyelashes on car headlights. It turns out that pile-ons by Twitter mobs are often less about content than coalition building—though the haters brandishing the virtual flaming pitchforks probably aren’t conscious of this. A growing body of evidence supports evolutionary psychologists John Tooby and Leda Cosmides’ theory that humans have a coalitional psychology. They explain that “because everything can be taken from a powerless individual or group,” we seem to have evolved a motivation to band together and work as a unit to “enhance, defend or repair” our group’s status. Basically, it’s us vs. them. Not surprisingly, the commonenemy thing turns out to be big for group bonding (social glue through collective hating). Outrage functions

as a “group-mobilizing resource,” notes Tooby, triggering the mob to go off on the poor person who dared express an idea the group opposes. Because outrage is emotionally driven, and because it’s so often coalitionenergizing, there’s no reasoning with the members of the mob coming after you. In fact, defending yourself in any way usually fuels the fire. Every tweet you put out there can be turned into something foul and horrible that you supposedly believe. Often, the best approach is to go into your settings and “lock” your Twitter profile for a while so only followers you’ve approved can communicate with you. You can turn off notifications and block everyone who’s awful to you. And you can also take a break from Twitter until the mob moves on to their next victim, someone who’s tweeted something truly repugnant, such as, “I don’t get the big deal about LaCroix”—only to have thousands of strangers from around the globe demanding their death.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): You're in the Land of Green Magic. That's potentially very good news, but you must also be cautious. Why? Because in the Land of Green Magic, the seeds of extraneous follies and the seeds of important necessities both grow extra fast. Unless you are a careful weeder, useless stuff will spring up and occupy too much space. So be firm in rooting out the blooms that won't do you any good. Be aggressive in nurturing only the very best and brightest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Eight years

ago, researchers in Kerala, India went to the Padmanabhaswamy Temple and climbed down into centuries-old vaults deep beneath the main floor. They found a disorganized mess of treasure in the form of gold and precious gems. There were hundreds of chairs made from gold, baskets full of gold coins from the ancient Roman Empire, and a four-foothigh solid statue of a god, among multitudinous other valuables. I like bringing these images to your attention, Taurus, because I have a theory that if you keep them in your awareness, you'll be more alert than usual to undiscovered riches in your own life and in your own psyche. I suspect you are closer than ever before to unearthing those riches.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Children need to learn certain aptitudes at certain times. If they don't, they may not be able to master those aptitudes later in life. For example, if infants don't get the experience of being protected and cared for by adults, it will be hard for them to develop that capacity as toddlers. This is a good metaphor for a developmental phase that you Geminis are going through. In my astrological opinion, 2019 and 2020 are critical years for you to become more skilled at the arts of togetherness and collaboration, to upgrade your abilities so as to get the most out of your intimate relationships. How are you doing with this work so far? CANCER (June 21-July 22): Vantablack is a

material made of carbon nanotubes. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is the darkest stuff on the planet. No black is blacker than Vantablack. It reflects a mere 0.036 percent of the light that shines upon it. Because of its unusual quality, it's ideal for use in the manufacture of certain sensors, cameras and scientific instruments. Unfortunately, an artist named Anish Kapoor owns exclusive rights to use it in the art world. No other artists are allowed to incorporate Vantablack into their creations. I trust you will not follow Kapoor's selfish example in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, it's crucial that you share your prime gifts, your special skills, and your unique blessings with the whole world. Do not hoard!

and I confess that I am addicted to breathing air, eating food, drinking water, indulging in sleep, and getting high on organic, free-trade, slavery-free dark chocolate. I also confess that I am powerless over these addictions. Now I invite you to be inspired by my silly example and undertake a playful but serious effort to face up to your own fixations. The astrological omens suggest it's a perfect moment to do so. What are you addicted to? What habits are you entranced by? What conditioned responses are you enslaved to? What traps have you agreed to be snared by? The time is right to identify these compulsions, then make an audacious break for freedom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When cherries are

nearing the end of their ripening process, they are especially vulnerable. If rain falls on them during those last few weeks, they can rot or split, rendering them unmarketable. So cherry growers hire helicopter pilots to hover over their trees right after it rains, using the downdraft from the blades to dry the valuable little fruits. It may seem like overkill, but it's the method that works best. I advise you to be on the lookout for similar protective measures during the climactic phase of your personal ripening process. Your motto should be to take care of your valuables by any means necessary.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Please don't try to relax. Don't shy away from challenges. Don't apologize for your holy quest or tone down your ambition or stop pushing to get better. Not now, anyway, Libra. Just the opposite, in fact. I urge you to pump up

By ROB BREZSNY week of July 10

the volume on your desires. Be even bigger and bolder and braver. Take maximum advantage of the opportunities that are arising, and cash in on the benevolent conspiracies that are swirling in your vicinity. Now is one of those exceptional moments when tough competition is actually healthy for you, when the pressure to outdo your previous efforts can be tonic and inspiring.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I can't decide whether

to compare your imminent future to a platypus, kaleidoscope, patchwork quilt or Swiss army knife. From what I can tell, your adventures could bring you random jumbles or melodic mélanges—or a blend of both. So I'm expecting provocative teases, pure flukes and multiple options. There'll be crazy wisdom, alluring messes and unclassifiable opportunities. To ensure that your life is more of an intriguing riddle than a confusing maze, I suggest that you stay closely attuned to what you're really feeling and thinking, and communicate that information with tactful precision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Every year,

thousands of people all over the world go to hospital emergency rooms seeking relief from kidney stones. Many of the treatments are invasive and painful. But in recent years, a benign alternative has emerged. A peer-reviewed article in a scientific journal presented evidence that many patients spontaneously pass their kidney stones simply by riding on roller coasters. I doubt that you'll have a literal problem like kidney stones in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But I do suspect that any psychological difficulties you encounter can be solved by embarking on thrilling adventures akin to riding on roller coasters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book The

Histories, ancient Greek historian Herodotus told the story of a six-year war between the armies of the Medes and the Lydians in an area that today corresponds to Turkey. The conflict ended suddenly on a day when a solar eclipse occurred. Everyone on the battlefield got spooked as the light unexpectedly dimmed, and commanders sought an immediate cease to the hostilities. In the spirit of cosmic portents precipitating practical truces, I suggest you respond to the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 16-17 with overtures of peace and healing and amnesty. It'll be a good time to reach out to any worthwhile person or group from whom you have been alienated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My astrological

colleague Guru Gwen believes that right now Aquarians should get scolded and penalized unless they agree to add more rigor and discipline to their rhythms. On the other hand, my astrological colleague Maestro Madelyn feels that Aquarians need to have their backs massaged, their hands held and their problems listened to with grace and empathy. I suppose that both Gwen and Madelyn want to accomplish the same thing, which is to get you back on track. But personally, I'm more in favor of Madelyn's approach than Gwen's.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As a self-taught rebel poet with few formal credentials, I may not have much credibility when I urge you to get yourself better licensed and certified and sanctioned. But according to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming months will be a favorable time for you to make plans to get the education or training you're lacking; to find out what it would mean to become more professional, and then become more professional; to begin pursuing the credentials that will earn you more power to fulfill your dreams.
