Curses, Foiled Again

Matthew Mobley, 41, was arrested in Alexandria, La., in February (No. 77 on his rap sheet) after getting stuck in the chimney of a business he was breaking into.

Missing The Point

A chain reaction of fireworks in Tultepec, Mexico, in December had made the San Pablito pyro marketplace a scorched ruin, with more than three dozen dead and scores injured, leaving the town to grieve and, in March, to solemnly honor the victims — with even more fireworks. Tultepec is the center of Mexico’s fireworks industry, with 30,000 people dependent on explosives for a living. Wrote The Guardian, “Gunpowder” is in “their blood.”

Way to Go

Despite an exaggerated, widely read headline in London’s Daily Mail, the recent death of a 50-year-old man in Japan was indeed pornography-related. The man was a hoarder of porn magazines, living alone with an unimaginably large collection, and when he suffered a fatal heart attack sometime early this year, he collapsed atop the piles, where his body was found in February. The Daily Mail headline had him “crushed” to death under a six-ton stack, but the Mail conceded below the headline that he might have just fallen.

Cup Holder

Hide And Eeeek!

Each December Deadspin.com reviews public records of the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission to compile a list of items that caused emergency-room visits when they somehow got stuck inside people. Highlights from 2016 include: Nose (raisin, plastic snake, magnets in each nostril). Throat (pill bottle, bottle cap, hoop earring). Penis (sandal buckle, doll shoe, marble). Vagina (USB adapter, “small painting kit,” heel of a shoe). Rectum (flashlight, shot glass, egg timer, hammer, baseball, ice pick “to push hemorrhoids back in”).

Labor Daze

The online live-stream of the extremely pregnant giraffe named April at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, N.Y., has created such a frenzy, and exposed the tiny attention spans of viewers, that, as of March 3, they had spent a cumulative 1,036 years just watching. Erin Dietrich of Myrtle Beach, S.C., 39 weeks pregnant herself, mocked the lunacy by live-streaming her own belly while wearing a giraffe mask. By press time, Erin had delivered; April, not.

Location, Location, Location

A highlight of the recent upmarket surge in Brooklyn, as a residential and

to feed edible animals. Among Barber’s March “WastED” dishes were a chargrilled meatless beetburger and pork braised in leftover fruit solids.

retail favorite, was the asking price for an ordinary parking space in the garage at 845 Union St. in the Park Slope neighborhood: $300,000, also carrying a $240-a-month condominium fee and $50 monthly taxes. That’s similar to the price of actual one-bedroom apartments in less ritzy Brooklyn neighborhoods like Gravesend a few miles away.

Compelling Explanations

Saginaw, Mich., defense lawyer Ed Czuprynski had beaten a felony DUI arrest in December, but was sentenced to probation on a lesser charge in the incident, and among his restrictions was a prohibition on drinking alcohol — which Czuprynski acknowledged in March that he has since violated at least twice. However, at that hearing, which could have meant jail time for the violations, Czuprynski used the opportunity to beg the judge to remove the restriction altogether, arguing that he can’t be “effective” as a lawyer unless he is able to have a drink now and then. At press time, the judge was still undecided.

Fine Points of the Law

Residents in southern Humboldt County, Calif., will vote in May on a proposed

property tax increase to fund a community hospital in Garberville to serve a web of small towns in the scenic, sparsely populated region. And thanks to a county judge’s March ruling, the issue will be explained more colorfully. Opponent Scotty McClure was initially rebuffed by the registrar when he tried to distribute, as taxpayer-funded “special elections material,” contempt for “Measure W” by including the phrase “(insert fart smell here)” in the description. The registrar decried the damage to election “integrity” by such “vulgarity,” but Judge Timothy Cissna said state law gives him jurisdiction only over “false” or “misleading” electioneering language.

Scrappy Perspective

American chef Dan Barber staged a temporary “pop-up” restaurant in London in March at which he and other renowned chefs prepared the fanciest meals they could imagine using only food scraps donated from local eateries. A primary purpose was to chastise First World eaters, especially Americans, for wasting food, not only in the kitchen and on the plate, but to satisfy our craving for meat, for example, requiring diversion of 80 percent of the world’s corn and soy just

In a first-person profile for the Chicago Tribune in February, marketing consultant Peter Bender, 28, recalled how he worked to maximize his knowledge of the products of company client Hanes — and not just the flagship Hanes underwear but its Playtex and Maidenform brands. In an “empathy” exercise, Bender wore bras for three days, a sports bra, an underwire and a lacy one, fitted at size 34A (or “less than A,” he said). “These things are difficult,” he wrote on a company blog. “The lacy one,” especially, was “itchy.”

Seeing Isn’t Believing

Gemma Badley was convicted in England’s Teesside Magistrates’ Court in February of impersonating British psychic Sally Morgan on Facebook, selling her “readings” as if they were Morgan’s. To keep this straight: Badley is the illegal con artist, Morgan the legal one.

Inside Job

French artist Abraham Poincheval told reporters in February that in his upcoming “performance,” he will entomb himself for a week in a limestone boulder at a Paris museum and then, at the conclusion, sit on a dozen bird eggs until they hatch — “an inner journey,” he said, “to find out what the world is.” He apparently failed to learn that from previous efforts, such as the two weeks he spent inside a stuffed bear or his time on the Rhone River inside a giant corked bottle. He told reporters the super-snug tomb has been thoroughly accessorized, providing for breathing, eating, heart monitor and emergency phone — except, they noted, nothing on exactly how toileting will be handled.

SPRING FLING!

LIQUIDATION SALE! Our Politicians At Work

Oklahoma state Rep. Justin Humphrey, justifying his proposed bill to require a woman seeking an abortion to first identify the father, told a reporter in February that the father’s permission is crucial because, after all, the woman is basically a “host” who “invited that (fetus) in.”

Not Clever Enough

Daniel Crowninshield, 54, pleaded guilty in federal court in Sacramento in 2016 to illegally manufacturing assault weapons that had no serial numbers, despite efforts to circumvent the law by claiming that his customers actually “made” their own weapons using his equipment. Crowninshield (known as “Dr-Death” online), an expert machinist, would take a “blank” metal casting and, using special equipment and computer programs, create the firing mechanism for a numberless AR-15 — provided the customer presses a button to start the process. “Pressing the button,” Crowninshield figured, made the customer the creator, not a buyer or transferee of the gun, and thus exempt from federal law. In February, Judge Troy Nunley, unimpressed, sentenced Crowninshield to three years and five months in prison.

“I grew up fishing with my dad,” Alabaman Bart Lindsey told a reporter, which might explain why Lindsey likes to sit in a boat on a lake on a lazy afternoon. More challenging is why, and how, he became so good at the phenomenon known as “fantasy fishing,” as he handed in a perfect card picking the top eight competitors in the Fishing League Worldwide Tour event in February on Lake Guntersville. “It can be tricky,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of research.”

Smoking Gun Defense

Miami defense lawyer Stephen Gutierrez caused quite a spectacle on March 8 when, representing a man accused of arson, he rose to address jurors, and his pants appeared to catch fire. He insisted afterward that a malfunctioning e-cigarette caused smoke to billow from his pocket, but observers had a field day with metaphors and “stunt” theories.

Brunch, Easter Bunny & Egg Hunt

Goodfella’s Lament

Ex-Colombo family mobster and accused hitman “Tommy Shots” Gioeli, 64, recently filed a federal court lawsuit over a 2013 injury at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City. He fell and broke a kneecap while playing ping-pong, allegedly because of water on the floor, awaiting sentencing for conspiracy to commit murder. The New York Post also noted that the “portly” Gioeli, who was later sentenced to 18 years, was quite a sight at trial, carrying his “man purse” each day.

Netflix’s Next Rival

Scientists at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center announced that they have digitally stored and retrieved a movie, an entire computer operating system and a $50 gift card on a single drop of DNA. In theory, wrote the researchers in the journal Science, they might store, on one gram of DNA, 215 “petabytes” (i.e., 215 million gigabytes, enough to run 10 million HD movies) and could reduce all the data housed in the Library of Congress to a small cube of crystals.

KRAMER By Jeff Kramer

BABY BOOMER REVISITS THE PARENT TRAP

n our household, March came in like a lion and went out with a brand new baby girl. Not a real baby, mind you, but a facsimile, courtesy of the Baby Think It Over teen pregnancy avoidance program at Jamesville-DeWitt Middle School. My eighth-grader, Lily, brought home the interactive plastic infant to tend to overnight, proving again that there’s almost nothing she won’t do for extra credit. As Lily does with all of of her scholastic endeavors, she took premature motherhood seriously, dutifully “feeding,” “changing,” “burping” and/or “cuddling” the $350 doll whenever it cried by inserting plastic keycards into the doll’s built-in card reader. Also, there was something about providing adequate head support, which I guess is the latest trend in infant care. Multiple crying episodes, including four or five in the middle of the night, left Lily exhausted and grumpy the next morning, which wasn’t so different from any other school morning but at least this time there was someone to blame. The next step, obviously, was for me to participate in the fake baby program, despite my relatively low chances of getting pregnant. Mr. Eldridge, the principal at J-D Middle School, wisely elected not to respond to my handwritten request to borrow a district-sanctioned baby simulator. But I made do. I created a fake baby of my own — “Baby Anything for a Column” — by using an American Girl doll that had been abandoned in the basement years ago by my daughters. Because that doll isn’t programmed to do anything except stare into space in a vacant-yet-judgmental way, I enlisted other family members to program my phone with random alarms. The alarms cued me to respond to the doll’s “needs,” which I did by undoing a Velcro fastener on her adorable outfit and inserting my Marriott Rewards card. The first alarm went off during rehearsal of my upcoming new play, The Golden Bitch, a comedy set partly at a dog rescue. I know what you’re thinking: Nice try, Jeff. Do you seriously believe we don’t realize that this is just a convenient excuse to mention your new play, which opens April 21 at the Catherine Cummings Theatre in Cazenovia? I suppose next you’ll mention that tickets are available through cnytix.com or by phoning (315) 655 STAR.

Oh, come on, people. You know me better than that. I took the baby to rehearsal because it was my responsibility — a responsibility I took seriously, just like Lily did, as the following exchange shows: Associate producer Donna Stuccio: “Where’s your baby?” Me: “Oh, F--- !” There were a few digs — all from women, of course — that Baby Anything For A Column’s hair desperately needed brushing. I wrote it off to pure jealousy. Most babies, of course, are bald and grotesque, but my baby was sporting a full head of hair and had emerged from my theoretical man womb looking like a fully formed 8to 11-year-old. You can’t fake good genes. But no baby is easy. This one woke me up three times during the night. The next day I took her to the Blue Tusk downtown and propped her on the bar as I washed down my ritual Friday Bonzai Beef panini with a magnificent IPA. One of the best ways to cope with the stress of caring for an infant is to drink, experts agree. Still, you can never truly escape the burdens of parenthood. Suddenly my phone alarm sounded and I realized I’d left my Marriott Rewards card at home. I felt like the worst dad on the planet, even worse than Charlie Sheen. Fortunately I was talked down by the helpful Blue Tusk panini coordinator, Leann, who calmly advised me to try my Excellus Blue Cross card instead. It worked. I began to see how easy it is to make yourself crazy when caring for an infant by holding yourself to a standard of perfection that can never be met. So I started to relax. For example, once I’d gotten halfway home and realized I’d left the baby on the bar, I calmly phoned Blue Tusk, explained the situation and let them know I was coming back to get it. I was informed that my baby was safe and that Child Protective Services had been called. It takes a village — a village like Cazenovia that’s filled with smart, caring, nurturing people and a beautiful old theater at 16 Lincklaen St. Because taking care of an infant is a Golden Bitch.

THINGS THAT MATTER By Luke Parsnow

ANCHORS AWAY AT STRUGGLING AREA MALLS

f there’s one thing we can always be assured of, it’s that we’ll always have to wait in a long line whenever we pay a visit to the DMV. But it’s hard to say we’d have to do the same at a place like Sears at Great Northern Mall, an establishment struggling to fill its stores with people. The 895,000-square-foot mall in Clay was recently purchased by Kohan Real Estate Investment Group, a Long Island company that “sees the future of aging malls as a place of mixed use that is more than just for shopping,” according to its website. Great Northern, which opened in 1988, is in better economic standing than Shoppingtown Mall in DeWitt, but all it takes is one visit to either of them to know the commercial centers are facing perilous times. Both are their own chapter in a larger story taking place across the country: Malls as we know them are dying. A product of the post-war economic boom and suburbia, malls have been the symbol of our commercial culture for more than a half-century. But their foot traffic has been on the decline since the early 1990s. The Great Recession and sluggish recovery have amplified that decline over the last decade. According to the real estate research firm Cushman and Wakefield, mall visits have plummeted an astounding 50 percent from 2010 to 2013. About 15 percent of the country’s malls are expected to fail or be converted to something else within the next 10 years.

The online digital age is the slow-death killer of malls. Why get bundled up on a cold winter day to drive miles to the mall to look for something when you can shop on your couch in your pajamas, right? Online shopping now amounts to less than 10 percent of retail sales, yet that grows substantially each year. But that’s still enough to keep a large number of people at home instead of visiting so-called “anchor stores,” the big outlets that draw the most customers to malls. Many anchors have closed their mall locations, leaving corners or even distinct areas of malls empty and dark. Bon-Ton left Great Northern a decade ago and Macy’s closed earlier this year. Great Northern’s remaining anchor retail stores are Sears and Dick’s Sporting Goods, with Sears teetering on the edge of collapse. The one-time monolith of retail, which is the only anchor store still standing at Shoppingtown, announced recently it has “substantial doubt” about its future. Many believe the chain will go out of business by year’s end. You don’t have to be a sailor to know that without an anchor, ships drift away. Hollister Co., Aeropostale and Wet Seal are among several smaller stores that

have left Great Northern in the last few years, with American Eagle Outfitters and Liberty Travel pulling out this year. Even a Dunkin’ Donuts kiosk couldn’t survive. Add up the losses and we get one sound conclusion: Malls can no longer use retail as the core of their existence. While the immediate threat is largely limited to smaller suburban malls, larger ones should take a deep look at themselves and see what they have that helps keep them ahead of the troubles others face. Destiny USA, for all its size and attractions, is also losing retail chains, most notably Hallmark in January. But Destiny sets a good example of what more malls need to be like if they are to survive. They can’t just be a place for shopping. They have to provide customers something they can’t get on their phones or computers: an experience. Destiny’s unique attractions like WonderWorks, GlowGolf, LazerTag and Dave & Busters, with their focus on entertainment, gaming and eating, gives customers from any age group a new reason to visit. Ironically, to move forward, malls must return to their origin: being the town square. They must be the place where people converge for the most basic of human needs, whether it’s laughter at the Funny Bone Comedy Club or live music and whetting one’s whistle at World of Beer.

Smaller malls are slowly taking the hint. Escape the Estate, an escape room attraction in the region that has enjoyed success, opened at Shoppingtown in 2016 to offer consumers something different and exciting. And many malls have already started moving enterprises like hair and nail salons, fitness gyms, rock climbing centers, indoor water parks, hospital care and even grocery stores into former anchor store locations. It’s not Dave & Busters, but even those simpler destinations are a step in the right direction. Another alternative is to transform unused floor space into areas for businesses and offices, which is what many dead or dying malls in upstate New York have done. Shoppingtown played around with the idea of placing a call center there for a while. Kohan Real Estate Investment Group says it also prioritizes using large amounts of unused mall space for events like fundraisers, festivals, farmers markets, concerts and banquets. That might be especially beneficial to a suburb like Clay, with Great Northern’s easy access to routes 481 and 31. Let’s hope Kohan has the right ideas to transform Great Northern. Now is the time for new creativity and experiments in redefining just what a mall is. If the small malls don’t do so fast enough, they will soon find themselves at their own checkout line. SNT

Wrembel Band. Jason Elon Goodman photo

NELSON ODEON GETS READY TO WREMBEL

Stephane Wrembel is a guitarist’s guitarist, a musician’s musician, and he’s back on the road again. “Touring is amazing,” Wrembel said during an afternoon phone interview that preceded his April 2 gig in Madison, Wisc. “I love meeting new people and seeing new places. In a way, it’s always new and it’s the same. It’s natural for us as human beings to be nomadic. It’s good to have a base, but when I’m on the road, I feel like I’m running faster than the devil.” The well-spoken Frenchman, who now calls the East Coast home, has been praised for his song “Bistro Fada,” which highlighted the soundtrack to Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, as well as contributing to the director’s film Vicky Cristina Barcelona. He has also recorded a live album in Rochester. His recent double-album release, The Django Experiment I and II, highlights the music of gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. The 24-song track list features renditions of the late Belgian-born guitarist’s music and works from similar composers as well as Wrembel’s original pieces.

Wrembel and his backing band take the stage Saturday, April 8, at the Nelson Odeon, 4035 Nelson Road, Nelson. Tickets are $23 to $25; call (315) 655-9193 for information. Incidentally, Wrembel has high praise for the Nelson Odeon. “It’s really an incredible venue. The owner, Jeff (Schoenfeld), is a real music lover. He turned a barn into a music venue. He runs his business out of love and that makes a huge difference, as opposed to a place where a guy makes a shitload of money. “It’s an amazing American-barn vibe that’s very hard to find. It’s solid wood, there’s a stage. It’s, how can I say, so made for acoustic music. Plus, there is always a good crowd there, and the people are really awesome, very into music. It’s warm and loving, just amazing every time we come. We’ll keep on coming.” Is there a particular reason why you’re paying homage to Django Reinhardt? Django is the grandmaster of guitar. I’m from Fontainebleau (France), where he was based. When I became serious about playing the guitar, there was a moment where I knew I had to play some Django. It was a given, something I felt I had to do. I began studying with the gypsies and going to their campsites to study with those masters. It helped me get deep into Django’s music. It became my foundation. And once you start playing that

4.5.17 - 4.11.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

music, it’s all you want to play. Hence the term “gypsy jazz.” It could be similar to being a cover band, like a Beatles band. I don’t want to be perceived as a cover band. I like to compose and perform my own music, but once in a great while, I like to pay tribute to the master. We will perform his songs, but we’ll have our touch in it. Once a year we put on the Django A Gogo festival. It took place this year at Carnegie Hall on March 3. There are lots of musicians who participate, including Al Di Meola, Stochelo Rosenberg and Larry Keel. It’s very big, plus a weeklong music camp. It’s one way to pay tribute to Reinhardt and to recording. Was there a specific approach to recording these albums? There is a way to play Django, but it’s a little bit different. It’s conveying the organic approach. I told the guys we were getting a studio for a few days, and we were going to record whatever we want, and do it however we want. We were going to have a good time. In the end, if we have anything, it’ll be an album. We had 24 tracks, so two albums. I didn’t want to get too fancy with the mixes, and wanted to get close to the live sound. You held a guitar workshop last year at the Nelson Odeon. Does that fit into your touring often? It’s something I do on occasion. I won’t be holding one this time, but maybe next year.

Your music is very intricate. How do you continue to challenge yourself composing and performing? It’s like you’re always at the beginning. It depends on the person. Externally, you progress, but within yourself you don’t; you’re just emotion. It’s like reading philosophy, choosing to read Plato. When you start reading, your mind begins to expand and you’re progressing. You think Plato is everything, but then you discover Kant and Schopenhauer. Expansion does not stop. What music are you currently listening to? It’s a mix of a lot of different things. I listen to a lot of classical music: Mozart, Chopin, Debussy. I’ve always enjoyed world music, like Middle Eastern and Indian music. But I listen to, of course, Django, Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa. I love Frank Zappa’s playing. He’s my guitar hero. Everything from the 1990s on, I feel disconnected from. What can people expect from your Nelson Odeon show? My band is made up of in-demand New York City-based musicians. It’s going to be an explosive show. There is a New York voodoo, a New York energy. And we push ourselves to our limits every show. It will be a mix of music, including a few Django songs, but mostly my songs. It’ll be a show with music you can’t put into one category or another. People are going to hear something new, something different, but not bizarre. And we travel in the worlds of dreams and imagination. We want to take you on a journey. In regard to imagination, do books that you have read inspire you? It’s not like I’m going to read a book and write a song about that book. I believe the human experience is irrational. This is why we are creative. This is why our personality comes out. The irrational part of the human being is the biggest part and the most important. The rational mind is an illusion, except when it comes to doing business. Music and literature are things that blend inside a human being, and you don’t know why or how. Plato said we’re living in a world of ideas. We are trapped in our world of ideas. We’re human beings. You’re not going to read something and start doing things in that particular way. Enjoy it and let it transform you. SNT

LOTUS BLOSSOMS AT F-SHED GIG

lthough known primarily as an instrumental band, Lotus broke their own rules with their latest release, Eat the Light. It’s their first disc to keep vocals on every track. But bassist Jesse Miller says there’s more to it than that.

“It’s funny to me when people say, ‘It doesn’t sound like Lotus with the vocals,’” he says. “But to me, it absolutely sounds like what our live band sounds like. Other records we’ve done more getting away from the live sound, bringing in horns or strings or extra overdubs. With this, we followed the live instrumentation, but with vocals.” Songwriters Jesse and Luke Miller ensured that the vocals fit into the music like any other instrument. “It is a challenge,” Jesse Miller notes. “I think of lyric writing very similar to how I think of writing an instrumental part. The sound of the syllables is the most important part. I would sing lyrics over and over on bike rides and walks until I had all the syllables in the right place.” Lotus will perform tracks from their new album when they visit the Syracuse Regional Market’s F-Shed, 2100 Park St., on Friday, April 7, 7:30 p.m. (Tickets are $25 to $55. For more information, visit lotusvibes. com or thefshed.com.) Although they won’t have a lead singer, audiences can still expect the lyrics heard on the ambitious album. Jesse Miller triggers them, as well as many other audio samples, as he plays bass.

“Like anyone else who plays two things at once live, it has to become one thing,” Miller says. “Sometimes I get really anxious, but luckily the band is really on point. If I do screw up, they’ll cover up as best as they can.” Lotus formed in 1999 at Goshen College in Indiana. Miller studied music composition after a childhood full of piano lessons, then took up bass. After graduating from Goshen in 2002, he wanted to continue writing music for Lotus, as the band toured throughout college and afterward. “We would get jobs for landscaping because we could be gone for four days and still have a job when we got back,” he says. “And when we would tour, we would pick up independent house painting gigs to make ends meet. But we started bringing in enough to devote all our time to music around 2008 and 2009. Unless you can put 100 percent of your energy into it, you don’t feel like you’re following any project through to the end. Any piece of art takes a lot of time to say, ‘This is done.’ Any time taken away from that is kind of wasted.” Lotus released Vibes in 2002, followed by a dozen

more albums through 2016. Eat the Light is a collection of songs written over three years. Although the Millers came up with more than two albums’ worth of material, they narrowed it to 10 songs, then thought about singers to match with the tracks. “The idea wasn’t to pick a person and write something for their voice,” Miller says. “We wrote them first and then thought of friends who would fit them well.” Friends like Johnny Fissinger of Damn Right, Mutlu Onaral and Oriel Poole help bring those words to life. Miller hopes fans will take the time to listen to the album and appreciate the different sound. “Sometimes people ignore albums in our jam band world,” he says. “They put them after the live show, but they’re just as important. We spend tons of time working on them. If people haven’t heard (Eat the Light), I encourage them to check it out. It’s an album to be judged on its own merits. This album is very dance-y, very fun. I’m super-proud of it.” Miller says the band has come a long way since their college beginnings. “We played a moe.down beer tent and it was very disorganized,” he remembers. “The difference between something on that stage and later on is just more attention being paid, whether it’s by the crowd or the people behind the scenes. But you’ve got to go through those smaller stages to get to the bigger ones.” Lotus returns to Syracuse annually, a testament to their strong fan base here. “I think we were the second show at the F-Shed,” Miller says. “It’s definitely a little weird at the Regional Market, but it doesn’t have to be Red Rocks to still be a really good time. It’s awesome that we’ve had the following in Syracuse that allows us to play big shows.” SNT

Advice from the Artist “There’s a lot of things that make music, or really any art, a difficult thing to pursue as a career. It’s tough to make money. You can be really amazing at what you do and it doesn’t mean you get the break or things add up. You need to make sure you put the art first and anything after that as secondary. To play music full time, you don’t need to be a touring musician. You can teach, do other things. My advice is follow the art. Put all you want to put into it. Don’t expect the world: Take anything else that comes with it as a bonus.”

BeatleCuse organizer Paul Davie celebrates 50 years of Sgt. Pepper with a little help from his friends. By Russ Tarby 1966 had been a burdensome year for The Beatles. In March, John Lennon told London’s Evening Standard his rock group was more popular than Jesus, and in July the American teenzine Datebook published that controversial comment. In June, their LP Yesterday and Today was recalled because the public couldn’t stomach the cover depicting The Beatles as butchers posing with bloody slabs of meat. In July while on tour in the Far East, the band caused an international scandal by missing a meeting with Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos. In August, the LP Revolver was released, but John’s “Jesus” remark continued to haunt them. Manager Brian Epstein, who would be hospitalized in October to treat his amphetamine addiction, conducted a press conference in New York City to try to explain away Lennon’s big mouth. The band itself faced an angry press in Chicago at the start of its final U.S. tour. John’s apologies fell on deaf ears, as Beatles bonfires flared across the Bible Belt. After the band’s last-ever U.S. concert Aug. 29, at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park, the Fab Four went their separate ways for 10 weeks before Lennon and McCartney convened at Abbey Road Studio in November to begin work on a new LP, one that would change the world. 4.5.17 - 4.11.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

1967 would certainly be getting better. The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band LP was an inspired work created by The Beatles in transition. Although brimming with nods to British music-hall tradition and middle-class life, the record also reflects The Beatles’ growing interest in psychedelic drugs and Eastern philosophy. Lennon referred to Sgt. Pepper as the band’s “acid album.” “If Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band doesn’t have a concept,” writes Jody Rosen, critic at large for T: The New York Times Style Magazine, “it does have a theme. It’s a record about England in the midst of whirling change, a humorous, sympathetic chronicle of an old culture convulsed by the shock of the new, by new music and new mores, by rising hemlines and lengthening hair and crumbling caste systems. In short, it’s a record about the transformations that The Beatles themselves, more than anyone else, were galvanizing.” The recording process lasted from Nov. 24, 1966, to April 21, 1967, and rarely did all four Beatles participate at any one time. Recorded using four-track gear, Sgt. Pepper benefited from the ingenuity of Abbey Road engineers who achieved the three-dimensional sound that Paul McCartney and George Martin wanted. An incredibly wide variety of instruments were employed such

as Mellotron, harp, horns, clarinets, East Indian sitar, Mesopotamian tamboura, Lowrey organ and, of course, strings. The diversity of sounds mirrored the wide spectrum of lyrical imagery, from vaudeville shtick to East Indian pop. Song subjects ranged from lovely meter maids to rain-slicked roofs to a runaway girl to a tragic public suicide. Often called a “concept album,” Sgt. Pepper is really a pastiche of dynamic, sometimes daring, pop loosely tied together by the Lonely Hearts Club Band motif, which bookends the LP’s first dozen tracks. Released in June 1967, Sgt. Pepper was praised for its intricate aural tapestry although some critics found it contrived. Nevertheless, its influence on pop music in the late-20th century cannot be overstated. “This was the album that threw the dogmas, conventions and rules of music right into the lake,” said Syracuse musician Chuck Schiele. “After this album was released, all the other variations and derivatives of rock’n’roll formed. It had a way of giving permission to musicians

to not be held down by the expected norm and just explore. In that way, it was a big bang.” Schiele is one of six dozen Central New York musicians who will recreate the entire Sgt. Pepper album on its 50th anniversary during BeatleCuse 2017 on Saturday, April 8, 7 p.m., at Eastwood’s Palace Theatre, 2384 James St. Tickets are $45, available at Ish Guitars, 410 S. Franklin St., in Armory Square, and The Ridge, 1281 Salt Springs Road in Chittenango, or online at BeatleCuse.com. For information, call (315) 463-9240. Organized by the indefatigable Paul Davie, who has promoted the annual Fab Four tribute for the past half-decade, this year’s show will be headlined by two British musicians who worked closely with The Beatles: guitarist Joey Molland of Badfinger and guitarist Hilton Valentine of The Animals. Valentine, 73, performed at last year’s BeatleCuse concert, and this year he’ll help commemorate rock’n’roll pioneer Chuck Berry, who died March 18 at age 90.

“The Animals recorded several versions of Chuck’s classic hits,” Davie said, “and Hilton Valentine will be jamming to them with our own Joey Molland and The WreckingCuse.” A host band for the event, The WreckingCuse includes Davie, Christopher Ames, Mark Barnes, Kevin Dean, John Freund, Edgar Pagan and Steve Schad. Molland, 69, a native of Edge Hill in Liverpool, England, appeared on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass, as well as John Lennon’s Imagine LPs. At BeatleCuse 2017 Molland will perform Badfinger hits backed by Syracuse musicians, as well as paying tribute to the recently departed Leon Russell and Chuck Berry. Those should be memorable performances, but BeatleCuse will shift into high gear with its Sgt. Pepper recreation. Paul Davie had done it before. The promoter, bassist and singer remembers “All You Need Is Liverpool,” an event he staged in 2007. “My band then, The Fab Five, performed a decent Sgt. Pepper while opening for Gerry & The Pacemakers at Paper Mill Island in Baldwinsville,” he said. A guest keyboardist synthesized the sound of horns, piano, strings and clarinets. “But that pales in comparison to the 30-piece mini-symphony orchestra we have lined up (this year),” Davie said. Planning for each BeatleCuse event starts nine full months in advance, said Davie, who also operates My Generation Promotions. “I’m a pretty organized guy and the line I always use is, ‘I was really good at (the video game) Tetris as a kid.’ Eighty percent of the show is the vision I have in my eyes and ears. The other 20 percent comes from creative input from the lineup, all of these fine musicians, all of whom have my back, which is a most incredible feeling.” He cites as an example the serendipity of locating authentic Indian instrumentalists for George Harrison’s lone Sgt. Pepper composition, “Within You Without You.” The aptly named Jeffery Pepper Rodgers is the behind-the-scenes star here, Davie said. “Nine months ago, I asked Jeffrey and his partner, Wendy Sassafras Ramsay, to perform two songs in their folksy, acoustic style. Six months ago, when I went to his website to grab some bio info for the show’s program, I learned he’d studied tabla in India! When I saw that, I asked him who to contact for George Harrison’s song. And now, between his friends in the Indian music community in Rochester, Ithaca and at Syracuse University plus our string ensemble, we’ll

be presenting a historic live performance of that song.” Another special moment will be a French horn duet by Jeff Stockham and Jennifer Greene in the middle of the album’s title track. Stockham — Syracuse’s busiest brassman — will also play the iconic piccolo trumpet solo on “Penny Lane,” which was waxed at an early Sgt. Pepper session before being dropped from the album. Here’s a list of the LP’s 13 songs, and the artists who will vocalize them at BeatleCuse. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” Bob Halligan and Gary Frenay. “With a Little Help from My Friends,” Rick Basha. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” Bob Halligan. “Getting Better,” Christopher Ames. “Fixing a Hole,” Doug Moncrief. “She’s Leaving Home,” Kevin McNamara and Mark Barnes. “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite,” Chuck Schiele. “Within You Without You,” Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers. “When I’m 64,” Dave Porter and Julia Scranton. “Lovely Rita,” Gary Frenay. “Good Morning, Good Morning,” Andy Comstock (The Barndogs). “A Day in the Life,” Paul Davie. A 24-piece “Summer of Love Orchestra” will play arrangements written by Chris Notarthomas and Melissa Gardiner. “The Inner Light Ensemble” will feature Jeremy Allen, sitar; Max Buckholtz, dilruba/violin; Alan Simon Lazarus, tabla; Mahmud Burton, tamboura; and Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, vocal and swarmandal. Other performers include jazzman Ronnie Leigh, songwriter Todd Hobin, guitarist Dave Novak, tunesmith Jamie Notarthomas, trumpeter Nick Frenay and 16-year-old Herkimer guitarist Chris United. Bands that will perform include The Barndogs, Fritz’s Polka Band, Magical Mystery Tour and The Fab Femmes, featuring Sharon Allen, Sheela Tucker, Anna White, Jess Novak, Sue Karlik, Cathy LaManna and Sue Royal. We’re not sure if Davie has hired Harry the Horse to dance a waltz, but nevertheless a splendid time is guaranteed for all. Shifty’s Bar & Grill, 1401 Burnet Ave., will host the official BeatleCuse after-party with an all-star jam session featuring The Strangers, with no cover charge from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. SNT

heresa Aviles-Van de Walker grew up in the restaurant business. As a child and teenager, she spent many hours in the kitchen at her parents’ restaurant, Carmelita’s Taco Shop, at the corner of Court and Spring streets, in Syracuse.

Life took her in a different direction: She got married, raised a family and worked as a medical secretary for many years. Yet she always dreamed of one day having her own restaurant and serving her family’s brand of traditional, home-style Mexican food and warm hospitality. Her dream is now a reality. In January, on the birthday of her late mother, Carmelita, Aviles-Van de Walker announced she would soon open her own restaurant. Carmelita’s Mexican Restaurant served its first guests a few weeks later, on Feb. 14. The restaurant is at 6195 Route 31, Cicero, between a jewelry store and a dry cleaning business in the Lakeshore Heights Plaza. “I have people I’ve known for 30 years saying to me, ‘Finally, you did it!,’” Aviles-Van de Walker, 54, said last week. “I’ve always catered. And I’ve always had a passion and desire to open my own restaurant. I have a love to cook my family’s food.’’ The restaurant business is in the Aviles family’s

genes. Aviles-Van de Walker’s brother, Lenny Aviles, is the chef-owner of Ole Ole Fresh Mexican Restaurant, in Mattydale. He has his style and she has her style, Aviles-Van de Walker says, adding, “We support each other as best as we can.’’ A regular presence in the kitchen at Carmelita’s is her sister, Carmen Aviles. The restaurant space at Carmelita’s is long and narrow, with sunny yellow walls and pottery and colorful art pieces Aviles-Van de Walker picked up on her travels to Mexico. There’s seating for about 40 guests and takeout in addition to table service. The menu lists appetizers, salads, enchiladas, tostadas, nachos, burritos, tacos, quesadillas and a grilled torta sandwich. Some menu items are named for members of her family. Christina’s Critter Tinga is a dish she named for her daughter, Christina, when she was pregnant. It features flat crisp corn tortillas topped with marinated shredded chicken, sour cream, pico de gallo and shredded cheese. Pablo’s Famous Bean Dip

is named for her father. A dinner entree is named for her grandmother, Maria Luisa: marinated shredded chicken with chile verde (green chile sauce), served with rice, beans, pico de gallo and fresh tortillas. Corn and flour tortillas are made inhouse, and sides and extras like salsa and guacamole are made fresh daily. At least one special, like pozole, a traditional Mexican soup/stew, is offered each day. Starting this week, Carmelita’s will offer several homemade desserts, including Mexican chocolate cake, rice pudding and flan. “Please be patient,’’ the menu reads. “All food is made to order.’’ Aviles-Van de Walker hopes to eventually serve beer and wine and have some tables outside this summer. She also plans to eventually resume catering for private parties and special events. For now, she’s working long days to make sure Carmelita’s runs smoothly. And she is loving what she’s doing. “I just have a passion to bring my parents’ food and restaurant back to life,’’ she says, “and to let people know what Mexican food really is.’’ Carmelita’s Mexican Restaurant is open Tuesdays through Saturdays for lunch and dinner, 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Call (315) 699-7550 or visit facebook.com/ carmelitasmexican.

e’ve had colorblind casting for a generation, frequently with happy results. It means you don’t have to be a white guy to play a white guy, and so James Earl Jones can appear as a plangent King Lear. So think of The Queen of Bingo, running through Sunday, April 9, at Cortland Repertory Theater Downtown, as an example of gender-blind casting.

there was no need for an estrogen test when casting the roles of Chicago sisters Sis and Babe in this comedy written by Jeanne Michels and Phyllis Murphy. So he called on thin Chris Nickerson and hefty Jason Sofge to put on skirts, without any whiff of camp. Unexpectedly, having two guys put on skirts to take out the bingo cards lightens the tone of this show. Queen opened in 1993 and has appeared on the Syracuse New Times beat on several occasions. Some earlier directors have emphasized the loneliness and needfulness of the sisters on the reliable premise that it takes inward pain to generate outward comedy. Instead, the tone here is celebratory. Director Kincaid starts winding up the laughs by having the voluble Babe (Sofge), emerging from the audience, bark at an unseen interloper who has taken the preferred seat. This forces the sisters to play in the smelly hallway outside the boys’ locker room in a Chicago parochial school. Celebratory means that Kincaid has re-

moved all the satirical hooks Michels and Murphy might have written into the text. The interpretation welcomes audiences already favorably disposed to the board game. As the production is staged cabaret-style, with audience members seated four to a table, this means that in the last 20 minutes before the first act’s intermission, everyone gets a three-game sheet and a bowl of plastic wafers to cover the numbers as they are called. The object is not just to get five in a row but to cover the entire 25 squares. Sis and Babe play bingo at St. Joseph’s School, somewhere in blue-collar Chicago. Eric Behnke’s set design might just as well have served for Nunsense, except for the piped-in organ music. Neither of the sisters is married, although Babe was about a decade ago. (She counts years on her fingers.) There is no tension between the sisters, but in the time-honored biology-is-destiny of comedy, corpulent Babe gets more than her share of the gags. Much of this is non-lethal aggression against safe targets, delivered in

laser-sharp falsetto: “Play bingo with the Protestants at the Elks? They don’t know sin.” Like professionals arriving for work, Sis and Babe come prepared with the right equipment, including daubers, magnetic chips and reliable good-luck charms. They break through the fourth wall to make eye contact with audience members, treating them like rival players. This almost becomes interactive theater, but no innocent is drafted to become a stooge. This allows the audience to see how competitive the sisters are, especially Babe. She makes cutting remarks about other players before or after she greets them with a smile and a nod. As in the darker versions of Queen of Bingo, Sis and Babe are driven by a sense of emptiness in their lives. Both are weary of money woes and fear aging when retirement brings more blues than frivolous leisure. Where they differ is that Sis is sustained by the company and the process and does not care much about winning. Her startling revelation is that

she has been playing every night, even at downmarket Mary Immaculate Church, and looks upon the spent money as payment against the gloom. The humor turns darker and sharper in the second act when Babe reveals that her craving for victory flows from her diminished sense of self by the shame of her weight. What the script does here is to present Babe’s real pain while simultaneously mocking the whole rhetorical trope. She wails that she’d rather move to Hawaii and wear a muumuu all day than order a dress in size 18, just as the unseen Caller belts out, “I-18!” While Sis and Babe deliver 90 percent of the lines, their work is complemented by the indifferent voice of Tim Mollen as the Caller. Clad in a black suit with Roman collar, Mollen also appears as smarmy Father Mac Muldoon, the Cork-accented cleric who assures us all is well. SNT

STAGE

By James MacKillop Kyra Stevens in SU Drama’s Major Barbara. Michael Davis photo

SHAVIAN CREAM FOR LUSH SU DRAMA MOUNTING

ny play with lines like “Pity: the scavenger of misery” or “Hatred: the coward’s revenge for being intimidated” deserves to be revived regularly. Even if it’s George Bernard Shaw’s Major Barbara, performed by the Syracuse University Drama Department through Sunday, April 9. It’s stuffed with long, long speeches that keep us in the theater until after 11 p.m. Shaw is both a challenge and a reward for college companies. On one hand, undergraduates have to suffer through characters two or three times their ages. On the other hand, Major Barbara is generously packed with 14 speaking parts, each one a potential scene-stealer. The idealistic, self-sacrificing Barbara (Kyra Stevens), from a privileged family, has joined the Salvation Army to assist the poor in West Ham, one of London’s most fetid slums. Her values collide with those of her father, Andrew Undershaft (Tyler Lyons), an armaments manufacturer and whisky distiller, who gladly accepts the sobriquet the press sticks to him: “Prince of Darkness.” Much of the play is a debate between their two points of view, with Barbara’s side shifting to her wannabe lover, Adolphus Cusins (Rupert Krueger), a cartoonish Greek scholar. The heavily paradoxical Undershaft, a mouthpiece for the playwright, gets most of the best lines. Recognizing that Shaw can be heavy and preachy, director Gerardine Clark emphasizes the light and comic elements in the text, sometimes with a spritz of slapstick. The first act works especially well. The scene is Undershaft’s library at fashionable Wilton Crescent. A late Victorian dreadnaught, Lady Britomart (Djuna Knight), is discussing with her model-handsome son

4.5.17 - 4.11.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

Stephen (Caleb James Grochalski) about the worth of asking her estranged husband, Andrew, for funds. One daughter, Sarah (Olivia Barbieri), is engaged to go-getter Charlie Lomax (Noah Schindler), while the other, Barbara, now sports a major’s uniform from the Salvation Army. Scenes requiring lengthy exposition are usually so much theatrical housekeeping, but the impressive comic gifts of Djuna Knight strike sparks. Sharpening her edge is her ability to project the character’s age and conceal her own. Lady Britomart and Andrew have been separated many years, and his entrance is filled with anxiety. His full beard and honking baritone assert authority but something less than paternalism. In a spoof of the clichéd, uncaring father in any number of Victorian novels, Undershaft does not recognize any of his children and can’t keep them straight when they are identified. Scene two shifts to the grotty Salvation Army shelter in West Ham. Haley Parks’ noisome set design guarantees that no romanticizing of poverty will be allowed. Andrew has bargained with Barbara that he will visit the shelter if she responds by coming to his munitions factory. The hangers-on, like smudged but pretty Rummy Mitchens (Victoria Madden), and street characters Bronterre O’Brien “Snobby” Price (Jackie McKenna) and Peter Shirley (Danny Polevy), looked borrowed from a

Dickens novel. Important dialect coach Holly Thuma has ensured a class-driven lingo just inside comprehensibility. From Oliver Twist comes a meaner, more lethal version of Bill Sykes named Bill Walker (Matthew Mueller), who smashes the face of lovely Salvation Army lassie Jenny Hill (Hannah Shaffer). It is here, before the play is over, that Undershaft makes his case that poverty itself is the crime and the salvation should be material rather than spiritual. Because he declares his faith to be that he is a “millionaire,” along with his self-assurance and brash manners, hasty audience members may be tempted to identify the armaments king with the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Hold on: The play was written more than a century ago. Shaw the Fabian Socialist did not turn capitalist for just one play. Instead, Shaw allows Undershaft, paradoxically, to prescribe material solutions to material problems. When Undershaft offers to bail out the shelter with a huge donation, Barbara’s Army senior, Mrs. Baines (Lindsey Marcus), accepts. Barbara finds this an ethically intolerable compromise and abandons her uniform and her vocation. Nonetheless, Barbara follows through on her pledge to visit Undershaft’s factory, where he argues his case more trenchantly. In the last hour of the play, Undershaft’s sparring partner is Adolphus, Barbara’s beau, who in Robert Krueger’s hands is a witty and resourceful ironist. Major Barbara premiered in late 1905, but director Clark has moved the action forward to 1936, the nadir of the Depression, poverty and misery closer to our own time. This presents an opportunity for costume designer Maria E. Marrero to dress the privileged ladies in 1930s-era chic. Whether intended or not, it also aligns Undershaft closer to the playwright. In the rewritten text Undershaft finds a new market for his wares with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In later life one of Shaw’s most block-headed opinions was the praise of the predatory, fascist Japanese for shaking up the somnolent Chinese. SNT

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Are you weary of lugging around decayed guilt and regret? Is it increasingly difficult to keep forbidden feelings concealed? Have your friends been wondering about the whip marks from your self-flagellation sessions? Do you ache for redemption? If you answered yes to any of those questions, listen up. The empathetic and earthy saints of the Confession Catharsis Corps are ready to receive your blubbering disclosures. They are clairvoyant, they’re non-judgmental, and best of all, they’re free. Within seconds after you telepathically communicate with our earthy saints, they will psychically beam you 11 minutes of unconditional love, no strings attached. Do it! You’ll be amazed at how much lighter and smarter you feel. Transmit your sad stories to the Confession Catharsis Corps NOW! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Now is an excellent time to FREE YOUR MEMORIES. What comes to mind when I suggest that? Here are my thoughts on the subject. To FREE YOUR MEMORIES, you could change the way you talk and feel about your past. Re-examine your assumptions about your old stories, and dream up fresh interpretations to explain how and why they happened. Here’s another way to FREE YOUR MEMORIES: If you’re holding on to an insult someone hurled at you once upon a time, let it go. In fact, declare a general amnesty for everyone who ever did you wrong. By the way, the coming weeks will also be a favorable phase to FREE YOURSELF OF MEMORIES that hold you back. Are there any tales you tell yourself about the past that undermine your dreams about the future? Stop telling yourself those tales. CANCER (June 21-July 22) How big is your

in first things, Aries. Cultivate your attraction to beginnings. Align yourself with uprisings and breakthroughs. Find out what’s about to hatch, and lend your support. Give your generous attention to potent innocence and novel sources of light. Marvel at people who are rediscovering the sparks that animated them when they first came into their power. Fantasize about being a curious seeker who is devoted to reinventing yourself over and over again. Gravitate toward influences that draw their vitality directly from primal wellsprings. Be excited about first things.

vocabulary: 20,000 words, or maybe 30,000 words? Whatever size it is, the coming weeks will be prime time to expand it. Life will be conspiring to enhance your creative use of language, to deepen your enjoyment of the verbal flow, to help you become more articulate in rendering the mysterious feelings and complex thoughts that rumble around inside you. If you pay attention to the signals coming from your unconscious mind, you will be shown how to speak and write more effectively. You may not turn into a silver-tongued persuader, but you could become a more eloquent spokesperson for your own interests.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) tWe all need more

breaks from the routine: more holidays, more vacations, more days off from work. We should all play and dance and sing more, and guiltlessly practice the arts of leisure and relaxation, and celebrate freedom in regular boisterous rituals. And I’m nominating you to show us the way in the coming weeks, Leo. Be a cheerleader who exemplifies how it’s done. Be a ringleader who springs all of us inmates out of our mental prisons. Be the imaginative escape artist who demonstrates how to relieve tension and lose inhibitions.`

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) People in your vicinity may be preoccupied with trivial questions. What’s more nutritious, corn chips or potato chips? Could Godzilla kick King Kong’s ass? Is it harder to hop forward on one foot or backward with both feet? I suspect you will also encounter folks who are embroiled in meaningless decisions and petty emotions. So how should you navigate your way through

this energy-draining muddle? Here’s my advice: Identify the issues that are most worthy of your attention. Stay focused on them with disciplined devotion. Be selfish in your rapt determination to serve your clearest and noblest and holiest agendas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) I hope that by mid-

May you will be qualified to teach a workshop called “Sweet Secrets of Tender Intimacy” or “Dirty Secrets of Raw Intimacy” or maybe even “Sweet and Dirty Secrets of Raw and Tender Intimacy.” In other words, Libra, I suspect that you will be adding substantially to your understanding of the art of togetherness. Along the way, you may also have experiences that would enable you to write an essay entitled “How to Act Like You Have Nothing to Lose When You Have Everything to Gain.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you have a dream of eating soup with a fork, it might mean that in your waking life you’re using the wrong approach to getting nourished. If you have a dream of entering through an exit, it might mean that in your waking life you’re trying to start at the end rather than the beginning. And if you dream of singing nursery rhymes at a karaoke bar with unlikable people from high school, it might mean that in your waking life you should seek more fulfilling ways to express your wild side and your creative energies. (P.S. You’ll be wise to do these things even if you don’t have the dreams I described.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you’re a Quixotic lover, you’re more in love with love itself than with any person. If you’re a Cryptic lover, the best way to stay in love with a particular partner is to keep him or her guessing. If you’re a Harlequin, your steady lover must provide as much variety as three lovers. If you’re a Buddy, your specialties are having friendly sex and having sex with friends. If you’re a Histrionic, you’re addicted to confounding, disorienting love. It’s also possible that you’re none of the above. I hope so, because now is an excellent time to have a beginner’s mind about what kind of love you really need and want to cultivate in the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your new vocabulary word is “adytum.” It refers to the most sacred place within a sacred place: the inner shrine at the heart of a sublime sanctuary. Is there such a spot in your world? A location that embodies all you hold precious about your journey on planet Earth? It might be in a church or temple or synagogue or mosque, or it could be a magic zone in nature or a corner of your bedroom. Here you feel an intimate connection with the divine, or a sense of awe and reverence for the privilege of being alive. If you don’t have a personal adytum, Capricorn, find or create one. You need the refreshment that comes from dwelling in the midst of the numinous. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ou could defy gravity a little, but not a lot. You can’t move a mountain, but you may be able to budge a hill. Luck won’t miraculously enable you to win a contest, but it might help you seize a hardearned perk or privilege. A bit of voraciousness may be good for your soul, but a big blast of greed would be bad for both your soul and your ego. Being savvy and feisty will energize your collaborators and attract new allies; being a smart-ass show-off would alienate and repel people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Here are activities that will be especially favorable for you to initiate in the near future: 1. Pay someone to perform a service for you that will ease your suffering. 2. Question one of your fixed opinions if that will lead to you receiving a fun invitation you wouldn’t get otherwise. 3. Dole out sincere praise or practical help to a person who could help you overcome one of your limitations. 4. Get clear about how one of your collaborations would need to change in order to serve both of you better. Then tell your collaborator about the proposed improvement with lighthearted compassion.
