HOBBY LOBBY AND OTHER MORE EQUAL ANIMALS “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
W
— GEORGE ORWELL, ANIMAL FARM
ith the Hobby Lobby Inc. decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has managed to bring the English allegorical satirist George Orwell’s words back to life. Owell intended “Animal Farm,” to be a parable about the Russian Revolution. A democratic socialist, he saw the upheaval that led to 70 years of communist tyranny as an example of unanticipated but predictable consequences – consequences that served to thwart the revolution’s supposed goals. That brings us to Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., a successful chain of crafts shops whose owners proclaim they run their business based on evangelical Christian principles. For that reason, they went to court to fight the provision in the Affordable Care Act that required their insurance provider to offer company employees certain kinds of birth control. They claimed doing so violated their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religious beliefs. In a narrow 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court agreed with Hobby Lobby Inc. Five of the nation’s justices determined closely held companies could have First Amendment free exercise rights. For all practical purposes, they determined that corporations were citizens themselves. The response from many good government advocates took their cue from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s scorching dissent in which she pointed out the many ways corporations could use this decision to pick and choose which laws they will follow based on their avowed religious principles. Other critics pointed to the supposed hypocrisy of Hobby Lobby Inc., which buys goods from countries like China and its policy of forced abortions and even has invested in contraceptive manufacturing. They argued that the owners’ exercise of their religious views wasn’t so much free as highly selective.
JOHN KRULL EDITORS@NUVO.NET John Krull is director of Franklin College’s Pulliam School of Journalism, host of “No Limits” WFYI 90.1 Indianapolis and publisher of TheStatehouseFile.com.
All of that may be true, but it also is in many ways beside the point. The real problem with the Hobby Lobby Inc. decision is what it does to the definitions of citizenship and equality before the law. Normally I am in favor of expansions of personal liberty, even when I feel that liberty is likely to be asserted in pursuit of goals or issues that are perverse or wrong-headed. If America doesn’t stand for freedom, America then really stands for nothing. But at the heart of that assertion of freedom is that it has to exist for all of us equally if it’s going to exist for any of us. The “Inc.” part of Hobby Lobby Inc. is important. The act of incorporating involves an assertion by the owners that the corporation isn’t them – that it is a separate entity. This act of incorporation allows owners many protections that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them, not the least of which is sheltering their personal assets from creditors in the event of some misfortune of business. But the owners of Hobby Lobby Inc. have asserted – and the five justices have swallowed – an argument that the corporation really isn’t separate, but instead is simply an extension of them and their personal religious beliefs. And they have been allowed to do this while still being able to preserve the advantages that come with being incorporated. It is one thing for corporations to be granted the same rights that citizens have if those corporations are being treated in the same fashion that all citizens are. It is another thing altogether if those corporations are being granted citizens’ rights while being granted privileges not available to all citizens. As Orwell said – albeit ironically – some animals apparently are more equal than others. In this country, thanks to five Supreme Court justices, it’s now clear that the animals who are more equal than others are the ones with “Inc.” attached to their names. n

WHAT HAPPENED? Violence in the Circle City Indianapolis remains on edge after three different shooting incidents in the city left 10 people injured and one Indianapolis Metro police officer dead. The first shooting occurred just before 1 a.m. in the 3700 block of Brentwood Avenue near Post Road and left a woman and a girl injured. Police do not believe the attack was random and the shooter remains at large. The second shooting occurred an hour and a half later in the 700 block of Broad Ripple Avenue. Police say seven people were injured when shots were fired after a possible argument. The source of the argument is unknown and the shooter remains at large. Late Saturday night, IMPD officer Perry Renn was shot in an exchange of gunfire with suspect Major Davis Jr. in an alley near East 34th Street and North Forest Manor Avenue. Renn later died at Eskanazi Hospital. Davis was also injured in the exchange and has been charged with murder.

A look at busking vs. panhandling in three Indiana cities
—AMBER STEARNS Tony Bennett, ethics commission reach settlement Former Indiana schools chief Tony Bennett reached a settlement agreement in a case before the Indiana State Ethics Commission. Details about the settlement will not be announced until Thursday’s Ethics Commission meeting. The state inspector general filed a complaint with the commission in November accusing Bennett of breaking state rules by using government resources for political purposes. The complaint claimed Bennett “improperly made use of state materials, funds, property, personnel facilities, or equipment for a purpose other than for official state business” when seeking re-election as State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Bennett lost his re-election bid to Democrat Glenda Ritz. The complaint followed an Associated Press report that revealed Bennett had sent emails urging changes in the A-F grading system to benefit a charter school he supported. —THE STATEHOUSE FILE 101 new citizens celebrate naturalization For 101 newly naturalized United States citizens, July 3 was their independence day; they renounced political allegiance to their homeland and vowed to support and defend the United States constitution. Judge Sarah Evans Barker presided over the ceremony at the President Benjamin Harrison home. To become naturalized, prospective citizens have to follow the application process, which includes taking a test and giving an interview. The process takes place over the course of years even after they become a legal permanent resident. For many, the process takes more than a decade. The final step in the process is taking the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony. Several officials, including UIndy President Robert Manuel spoke after the ceremony. Manuel said that this was just the first step for them, now the citizens have to discover what it means for them to be American. —LEEANN DOERFLEIN 6 NEWS // 07.09.14 - 07.16.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

n the same day the ACLU of Indiana celebrated the first victory in the fight to legalize same sex marriage in Indiana, the legal services organization filed a lawsuit against the city of South Bend challenging the city’s licensing guidelines for street performing, or busking. The complaint was filed on behalf of South Bend resident Rick Peden, a sidewalk performer who plays the guitar and does an improvisational routine. Peden and the ACLU of Indiana claim South Bend’s ordinance is unconstitutional because of its limits on street performances to only designated areas of the city. Busking isn’t an uncommon practice in Indiana, but it isn’t widely spread either. Busking is widely celebrated in Fort Wayne (and will be discussed coming up) while in Indianapolis, the jury is still out on its acceptance and popularity. Busking was seen everywhere when the Circle City hosted Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. The artform continued for the IndyFringe Festival later that same year, with Fringe hosting two “battles” to select the best performers for the festival as well as continued training. The regulations for buskers in South
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The South Bend ordinance under fire by the ACLU of Indiana was drafted by 1st District Councilman Tim Scott. It restricts busking to a small area within the downtown district.
Bend reside in Chapter Four of the city’s Municipal Code which deals with licenses. The code requires buskers to obtain a permit that is renewed annually at a cost of $20 per year. The rules limit the performers’ “stage” to within the Central Business and Entertainment Area and separates buskers by a minimum of 50 feet. Performance times are limited to Mondays through Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and from 8:00 am to 11:00 p.m. on Friday through Sundays. And any special event taking place in the designated busker territory that utilizes the sidewalks takes precedence over the street performers, pushing them out on to the street, figuratively speaking. The ACLU of Indiana contends the statute violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. “Courts have long held that enter-
tainment-whether in the form of books, movies or performers on public sidewalks-is protected by the First Amendment,” said Gavin M. Rose, ACLU of Indiana staff attorney in a press release. “South Bend is failing to show due regard for that indisputable fact.” Ironically, the busking ordinance was created to validate the craft in the hopes of attracting buskers to the downtown area. The ordinance was drafted by First District Councilor Tim Scott, a Democrat currently serving his first term. Although Scott refused to grant NUVO an interview discussing his intent behind the ordinance, several media reports published at the time the proposal was being considered quote Scott as saying he wanted to separate busking from panhandling as a sanctioned and legal activity.

reported Scott developed the idea following a conversation with local banjo players about the lack of regulations making the art of street performing legal. Various media reports also indicate Scott drafted the ordinance with input from Downtown South Bend Inc., a private/ public partnership with the city designed to promote growth and activity in the city’s downtown district.
Not all Buskers are created equal As South Bend was reacting to the ACLU’s complaint, the city of Fort Wayne was gearing up to welcome buskers from near and far for its annual festival. Buskerfest was created in 2010 by Fort Wayne’s Downtown Improvement District (DID) and its current president Bill Brown back when he was an Allen County Commissioner. The festival, held every year at the end of June, invites buskers from around the country to show off their talents in the streets of downtown Fort Wayne. Veteran buskers also give workshops and training for local buskers to develop and improve their craft. Brown, with the DID, modeled Buskerfest after a similar festival held in Toronto. “[We] really kind of wanted to emphasize that it is a performing art,” said Brown. It was Brown who brought busking to the attention of Fort Wayne and Allen County officials as something that wasn’t allowed according to their code, but could be something unique to bring tourism dollars to the area. Local officials eventually changed their ordinances to separate busking and panhandling in its language. “You can panhandle,… [but] it’s about being aggressive. You can’t be aggressive or touch,” says Brown. “So we feel like we’ve struck a good balance between the ability to perform in the street in the right-of- way
The Indianapolis Acoustic Music Meetup created a petition on Change.org to challenge the proposed panhandling ordinance in Indianapolis.
from the whole panhandling piece.” Fort Wayne’s ordinances on the issue are much in line with Indiana Code regarding panhandling. State law defines buskers as panhandlers while Fort Wayne separates the two. Indiana Code defines a panhandler as someone who asks for money or something of value on the street or in a public place or in exchange for performing music, singing, or any other type of performance. State Law lists several restrictions for panhandlers such as no soliciting after sunset and before sunrise, at a bus stop, at a restaurant sidewalk table, at an ATM or bank entrance, and a multitude of others. Brown recognized the fine line that exists between panhandlers and buskers. He said for buskers to be taken seriously there is a level of courtesy involved as well as a presentation aspect to their level of performance. “I will have to say for context, I was at the [Indianapolis] 500 last year in 2013 and I was sort of disappointed in that crowd stream, there were some people that were in dirty costumes and people that were kind of a mess and they were playing saxophone and things like that,” said Brown. “So it is kind of tricky because there is a big difference [between busking and panhandling] and that is the challenge.” Brown does attribute the level of success that buskers have in Fort Wayne with the sense of community that exists in the city and the overall acceptance of the craft that he and DID have created. “It is very European,” says Brown. “And for really good performers it can be a very lucrative business and career.”
Panhandling vs. Busking While Fort Wayne and South Bend have gone through great lengths to separate buskers from panhandlers, the two
remain lumped together in Indianapolis. Republican Councilor Jeff Miller said Indianapolis currently makes no distinction between forms of free speech, so busking and panhandling are together in the city’s overall definition of solicitation. Miller co-authored the last ordinance proposal addressing panhandling with Democrat Councilor Vop Osili. The proposal was met with a lot of opposition from buskers in the Indy scene. The Indianapolis Acoustic Music Meetup created an online petition through Change. org to gather support opposing the proposal. The group stated on the petition they felt the proposal mislabeled street performers as panhandlers and misrepresented them to the public. The measure would have restricted panhandlers from soliciting within 50 feet of several areas including marked crosswalks, ATMs, banks or check cashing businesses, parking meters and pay stations, the entrances/exits of restaurants or the service area outdoor cafés, and many others. The proposal passed out of committee last winter, but was kicked back to committee in January because some council members agreed it was too restrictive for buskers and charities. Miller said his concern is and continues to be public vulnerability, even in cases of passive solicitation, where the public could be vulnerable based on how close that solicitor is. Back in January, Miller stated that he might consider some exemptions for certain designated cultural districts like Broad Ripple, Mass Ave, and the Cultural Trail. However, a proposal has not yet been re-introduced and Miller said he was uncertain about the timing. According to the clerk for the city-county council, the proposal will fall off of the calendar if no action is taken by the council’s full meeting August 18. n

Revolutions: Tex Jernigan y A 2D blow-up of Napoleon’s horse from Jacques Louis-David’s “Napoleon Crossing the Alps” and some dude trying to ride it — this is what greeted me as I walked into General Public Collective’s gallery space, with New York City-based photographer Tex Jernigan taking pictures of the results. I was told images from this shoot will soon hang on the wall as part of this exhibit. Not a bad way to get people to interact with art. Likewise with his video art on display. Jernigan asked humanoid subjects to stand on a small rotating platform and then photographed them in slow motion. The results, brought up to speed, show blasé subjects frantically spinning through space against a blurry background. But three photographs of acquaintances seemingly walking on water on the White River left something to be desired, mainly in terms of quantity of work shown. Jernigan’s subjects don’t have super powers; they were standing on supports, and in one case falling off them, in keeping with his Photoshop-free approach. If Jernigan is making an argument for his aesthetic here, he needs to show more such work in order to win it. General Public Collective, through July 25 Flora: New Work by Bobby Gilbreath t Suppose an astronaut was sent on a mission to catalog the planets in the Milky Way but lost his camera and computer and was forced to document his findings in written form, in a logbook. Gilbreath’s paintings that correspond to his “log” entries could be surfaces of distant planets. It makes sense: If you pour a bunch of different types of paints together on flat boards like he does — Gilbreath uses everything from industrial chemicals to latex — they may congeal and crack in weird ways, forming an other-worldly geography. Chance plays a part in the working methods of plenty of artists, but Gilbreath takes this process to its extreme. In several paintings in this exhibition, you see paint congealed around and over the edges of the canvases, and thin layers of paint detached from the paintings, fallen on the floor. Gilbreath may have taken his 2D work as far as it can go, and sculptural work such as “Lunare, Lacrima” indicate where his next ventures may lie.

Jonathan McAfee’s new show tries to capture the optimistic, progressive side of the author
BY D A N G RO S S M A N EDITORS@NUVO.NET
urt Vonnegut wasn’t the most optimistic of novelists. The author was, however, passionately devoted to an array of progressive and humanitarian causes. It came through in the speeches he gave and the essays he wrote. And it’s this Vonnegut that painter Jonathan McAfee tries to portray in a series of portraits, What People Like About Me Is Indianapolis, opening Friday at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library. “Here’s the thing,” McAfee said as he put the finishing touches on the series in his basement studio. “I feel like I’m more of a fan of him as an individual. I can’t say that I’ve read all of his books. I can say that in the research I’ve done for this series, I’ve really grown to respect his opinions on creativity and the environment.” McAfee’s mixed media paintings — three large portraits of Vonnegut and twelve smaller ones — are playful and painterly. None of them gesture toward the author’s more nihilistic side. All the portraits are based on five photographs taken of Vonnegut at different periods of his writing career. In every one of them, he sports a mustache. “He’s fun to paint,” McAfee said. “He’s almost a caricature of himself. So it feels like a natural fit to build an entire series to him.”
One large-scale portrait bears the stenciled title of Vonnegut’s most famous novel, Slaughterhouse Five. Like all the others it is a mixed media work — markers, acrylic paint and spray paint on canvas. He builds up the paint and other media in layers, letting each layer dry before adding the next, so the colors don’t mix and become muddy. While McAfee’s work is definitely Pop art influenced — the big wow moment of his artistic life was seeing Andy Warhol’s screen print “Mao” at the Art Institute of Chicago — you can see Abstract Expressionist influences as well. There are drips in his painting, thick brushstrokes and wild bursts of color everywhere. And he cites another, more contemporary influence for the series: The UK-based, Canada-born artist Andrew Salgado, who employs a painstakingly layered approach to create his large scale paintings. “There are the challenges of the different layers and the patience involved,” McAfee said. “I would typically start for the most part with white blank canvases and then do the initial sketch in Magic Marker or Sharpie and build off of that. But some of them the backgrounds were created first and then painted over and then completely painted over.” And McAfee’s new series is allowing him to explore unusual media. “I’ve been working a lot with house paint,” he says. “I’ve been able to select my colors make up my own colors rather than select what’s in the tube at the local arts supply store. It still stays true to my palette for the most part… but it’s got a different batch of values, different colors that I normally haven’t used.” n

Acting Up does Shakespeare in the park (or on campus)

et’s tick off the selling points for Acting Up Production’s Hamlet. First off, it’s an outdoor show, running July 11 to 26 at the Clowes Amphitheater on the campus of Marian University. Second, it takes place in modern times. Third, it’s set in Washington, D.C., a move inspired by TV shows like House of Cards and The West Wing, according to director R. Brian Noffke. And finally, Acting Up’s Hamlet is played by a woman, specifically Lauren Briggeman. And, to be clear, this isn’t an exercise in drag. Nope, Hamlet is actually female in the world of the play. According to Women as Hamlet: Performance and Interpretation in Theatre, Film and Fiction, by Tony Howard, actresses have portrayed Hamlet for more than 200 years, including Welsh actress Sarah Siddons in 1775 and Sarah Bernhardt on stage in 1899 (and as the first Hamlet on film in 1900). Briggeman, an Acting Up vet who played Viola in the company’s 2013 production of Twelfth Night, auditioned for the play before Noffke had decided on using a female Hamlet. Even though many people know the story already, Briggeman says, “One big thing is not playing it as if the characters [know what happens at] the end of the play from the beginning. It’s something [director] Brian and I talked about a lot. Hamlet doesn’t know that Claudius is the bad guy until later in the play. Even

For one thing, the production, directed by BobDirex head Bob Harbin, has great music sung by a large and endearing mix of people who all have vibrant and sometimes jaw-droppingly powerful voices. Also, it is such a rich mess of still-relevant issues and still-interesting cultural and historical references that it is almost too much to absorb in just in one viewing. I expected more of a story. There is one, about a young hippie and his friends and his struggle over

whether or not to burn his draft card, but you only get glimpses of it. But the fragmented quality of the storytelling somehow works, serving to show both the exciting energy of that time period and the fact that the flower children, though passionate about raising consciousness and saving the world, were still human, some more mature than others. Speaking of maturity, there is a lot of mature content in this show. Never mind the “f” word; I had to look up one of the words in the “Sodomy” song. On the other hand, the famous nudity is so brief and so darkly lit that I don’t think I would have even noticed it if I hadn’t been looking for it. While everyone else is undressing in the dark, the main character, Claude (Anthony Snitker), is singing beautifully in his jeans in a tight, bright spotlight, so that’s where your eye goes.
who helped him found Acting Up Productions, says that they are hoping to attract audiences who wouldn’t necessarily see Shakespeare. “Shakespeare is not meant to be read, it’s meant to be seen live,” she says. “So many people don’t want to see Shakespeare because they don’t think they are smart enough or won’t understand what is going on, but you will get [this production] when you see it.” Williams recommends this performance to families with pre-teens and older. “It’s a great intro to Shakespeare. They’ll think it’s like what they’ve seen on TV. Audiences will see the words Shakespeare wrote hundreds of years ago that are still true today. They’ll see that the things he said are timeless, even if they are said in different situations than the original settings.” n
I haven’t seen any other productions of the original stage version but based on the reactions I overheard, this production ends more soberly than others. You don’t feel like joining the tribe onstage to dance and sing “Let the Sun Shine In!” You do feel (or I did, anyway) inspired to keep working, breathing, and loving. You empathize with the tribe’s yearning for compassion and peace. One caveat: I went to opening night and the noise from the Rathskeller’s Biergarten next door was so loud I could barely hear the curtain talk. Quiet moments that should have been poignant or at least ruminative were ruined by whoever was playing on the Biergarten’s outdoor stage. Go to the Sunday matinees if you can.

REVIEW THE RICHMOND GROUP ARTISTS BY SHAUN THOMAS DINGWERTH, INTRODUCTION BY JULIA MAY Indiana University Press $40.00 (Hardback) q
An exquisite array of landscapes immediately engaged my attention, and then as I turned pages and began to read the narrative, I couldn’t stop until I reached the back cover. Nothing else mattered for that entire afternoon, save going outside to observe with greater depth of perception my backyard with its abundance of trees filtering the effects of a dipping sun. Dingwerth, executive director of the Richmond Art Museum, gifts with a study of artists whose influence has been under the radar even during their 19th century heyday and since. Prominence wasn’t something they sought in their almost dogged adherence to their Quaker roots and tenets of simplicity, truth, light. Within Indiana, the Hoosier Group and the Brown County Artists Colony were and are at the head of public cognizance. Dingwerth set out to widen our horizons and bring due attention to fifteen ‘major’ artists and a dozen others whose work grows from a faith tradition stretching outward from comfort zones. The introduction by Julia May, Earlham College associate professor of art history and curator of Earlham Art Collection, provides the springboard from which to absorb the impact of the visual arts movement in 19th century Richmond. Placing people within locale and conviction, a sense of community emerges to show how and why something extraordinary could and did happen, and what this has meant within the panoply of aesthetics and emerging nationhood. These mainly self-taught talented individuals with a passion for landscapes worked at day jobs where commercial art tapped their skills — sign painting, illustrating catalogs, drawing patented products. But before worked called, they trooped out together (or alone) at the crack of dawn to follow the trajectory of light and shadows, depth and proximity and record the scenes within the Whitewater basin, pre-Civil War to the close of the 20th century. — RITA KOHN Related events July 17, 5:30-7:30 p.m.: Book signing and gallery talk at Eckert and Ross Fine Art, 5627 N.

hat would you do if you had only a year/month/ week to live? Sure, it’s the stuff of jacket copy, and a version of that question appears on the back of the final book in Winters’ end-times mystery trilogy The Last Policeman. But it’s also just about the most profound question there is: What is the meaning of your life — and were that life to expire in the very near future, what would you regret not doing? And just as importantly, at least when it comes to personal safety: What would others do in those final moments? World of Trouble proposes that all kinds of crimes would be committed by those crossing off items on their Bucket List before an asteroid smashes into Earth (we learn of a “Bucket List rapist” early in the book). Then there are the “catastrophe immigrants,” making their way across the shores, taking any job they can get. Another development: Red and blue states have given way to red, green, black and

Vengeance at Sundown immediately thrusts us into a post-Civil War Tennessee State Prison scenario with a plot that unpeels, layer by layer, like an onion, until we get to the heart of human destiny that’s simultaneously universal and particular. Lucas Fume, unjustly accused of murder is serving a life sentence. Why did no one come to his defense at the time of the trial seven long years ago? Yet he perseveres despite the maniacal machinations of Lanford Grips and the deceits of Charlotte Brogan. What transpires 306 pages after the baited first sentence is as much a socioeconomic panorama of mid-19th century opening of the West as it is a story of

The red towns are “those seething with active violence.” Green towns are “communities where it seemed like some some sort of agreement, has been made, spoken or implied, to plug along,” to preserve some sort of common decency even with the end nigh. Black towns are empty, and blue towns “feel empty, but they’re not, they’re just so quiet that they might well be.” Hank Palace, the last policeman of the trilogy, briefly worked as a detective before the collapse and is now on a freelance quest to find his sister before all flora and fauna are consumed in fire and ash (he’s got two weeks as the book opens). His quest takes him to a small Ohio town — a “blue town,” he eventually learns, which means he can wander around without being taken prisoner by a Midwestern Mad Max.

Palace is smart but haunted, obsessed with finding his kid sister; he’s got a dubious sidekick who provides comic relief and a faithful dog; he does good policework even when it seems like it won’t matter, partly as way of making sense of the world and quelling his sense of dread. I found Winters at his most ingenious in science-fictional mode, as that somewhat conventional (but not cliched) mystery plays against a backdrop of Super Targets occupied by workmanlike marauders and high school sweethearts reunited in a mobile home to enjoy an uninterrupted diet of fried chicken and country music. And the way that Winters tweaks that old joke — who would be more prepared than the Amish when our global communication network breaks down — is at turns funny, terrifying and surprisingly and satisfyingly wholesome. — Scott Shoger Appearances: July 12, 1 p.m.: Indy Reads Books

AN EXCEPTIONAL MAN
Ida e Polish filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski returns to his homeland for this tale of Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska), a nun in training instructed to meet her only relative — Aunt Wanda (Agata Kulesza) — before taking her vows. She soon learns her given name is Ida, she was brought up Jewish, and her parents died in the war. While searching for the bodies, Anna/Ida also deals with a handsome young sax player (Dawid Ogrodnik). The black and white images are beautifully composed, the classic “Academy” square screen ratio adds to the atmosphere and the music is sparse and effective. Newcomer Trzebuchowska appears overwhelmed at points, but the film works nonetheless.

hen Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert’s movie-reviewing TV partner and rival for nearly 25 years, was forced to deal with a cancerous brain tumor he opted to do so in private. As a result, he didn’t get to say goodbye to many of his friends and colleagues. Roger Ebert took a different approach. I remember when I first saw a photo of Ebert after he lost his lower jaw to cancer. His eyes were wide, like he had just witnessed something terrifying, and the skin that covered the part of his face where his lower jaw had been now hung loosely, like a turkey’s waddle. It was too hard to see someone I admired so much trapped in a fright mask, unable to eat, drink or speak, and I looked away. After a few moments I looked back. This wasn’t a paparazzi shot, this was a photo released with the permission of the man. This was Roger Ebert stating that he was still here, still part of the world. This is what he looked like and the rest of us had best get used to it. Life Itself was intended to be a documentary adaptation of Ebert’s 2011 memoir, but in the course of making the movie it became clear that Ebert would not live to see it finished. Filmmaker Steve James, whose career received a huge boost thanks to Siskel and Ebert championing his documentary Hoop Dreams, worked with Roger and Chaz Ebert to incorporate the realities of the “third act” of the writer’s life. The result is fascinating, funny, heartbreaking and honest. We see Ebert being noble, brave and clever. We also see him behaving like a spoiled schoolboy. The film includes outtakes of Siskel and Ebert doing promos for the show and sniping at each other, both of them determined to get the last word. I wish Midnight Madness: The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Fun fact: The Silence of the Lambs is one of three movies to win the top five Oscars (that’s best picture, actor, actress, director and writing).

the film had included one of my favorite exchanges between the men. Ebert had just mentioned, for the umpteenth time, that he was the first film critic to receive a Pulitzer Prize when Siskel snapped, “That’s because you were the first critic arrogant enough to believe he deserved one!” Through the TV show, Siskel and Ebert made the world aware of countless small films and gifted filmmakers that likely would have otherwise gone overlooked (Martin Scorsese and Werner Herzog appear to talk about the influence the critics had on their careers). Life Itself provides a fair sampling from the Siskel and Ebert years, but there is
much more to be covered. As a boy in Urbana, Illinois, Ebert wrote and published a neighborhood paper called the Washington Street News. At 21 he became the youngest film critic for a major newspaper in America, throwing himself into the role by hanging out at a celebrated bar, pounding drinks and on occasion being “tactless, egotistic, merciless and a showboat.” Ebert joined AA in the ‘70s, where he met Chaz, who would become his wife. Thank goodness for Chaz, and for the unwavering support she provided her love during his third act. Roger Ebert combined his sharp intellect with a down-to-earth writing style that made his essays on film and the state of the world relatable. The documentary reports he could write a well-thoughtout review in 30 minutes. Life Itself is an exceptional look at this exceptional man. Wouldn’t it have been interesting to read Ebert’s assessment of the film? n

BEER BUZZ
BY RITA KOHN
Thr3e Wise Men’s golden-hued Cobra Mai Japanese Rice Lager offers an immediate floral sweet nose that lingers through sips that start with a touch of effervescence and refreshing tartness, then layers into malt sweetness balanced by the subtle tangerine flavor from Saphir hops. Hints of nutmeg and cinnamon lead to a dry finish. The brew’s delicacy sets it apart from other go-to beers we reach for when temps and humidity rise. At 6 percent ABV and 25 IBU, it’s easy drinking for a pint or even two. That said, Cobra Mai could be a hard sell with patrons of craft beer because part of the malt bill is rice. Rice has gotten a bad craft beer name due to its overuse by macrobrewers to lighten the body and flavor of traditional German lagers where a heavy malt body is a distinction. Assistant brewer Ian Galloway was aware of the stigma as he researched the style. But he decided to create a Japanese Rice Lager as his first solo commercial brew for Thr3e Wise Men’s summer seasonal. It’s a style unto itself, explains Galloway. “It’s not an American lager. It has a history of its own.” That history goes back to 17th-century Japan with the arrival of Dutch traders and the brewers who came along to supply sailors with beer. But fresh and local dictated the use of local ingredients — rice joined with the European grist bill of barley and/or wheat and has since become a category that even U.S. beer judges recognize for competitions. “I kept wondering why haven’t other breweries in Indiana done this style?” adds Galloway. Three Floyds’ Supa Rice Ronin of Death has the national #1 Beer Advocate Rating, with their Sumari Gazebo and Gold Leader also earning high ratings. Three Floyds has been part of the West Coast movement to develop flavorful rice beers. Galloway wanted to get out of his comfort zone and he succeeded with the help of Sun King brewer Adrian Ball, who shared Sun King’s special yeast from their California Common recipe. That’s the way things work with craft brewers — they help out, summarizes Galloway, who credits Tomlinson and Omar Castrellon, Thr3e Wise Men’s former brewmaster for giving him the training to be daring. Galloway started brewing as a volunteer with Barley Island followed by a year with the Bier brewing team. Butler student Alex Petersen rounds out the trio of Thr3e Wise Men’s brewers.

ven if Pizzology and Libertine Liquor Bar owner Neal Brown focuses less on cooking these days and more time on growing his business, there’s still plenty of talent in his restaurant kitchens. In fact, the culinary team Brown has assembled, lead by operations director Erin Till, seems primed to handle whatever expansion plans the highprofile chef has in mind, even if that means another Pizzology location coming online in relatively short order. At Brown’s latest venture, the six-weekold Mass Ave. Pizzology, chefs George Turkette and Ed Sawyer, for example, managed a recent busy weekend evening with apparent ease. I hadn’t been in since opening day, when I tried the excellent roasted asparagus and prosciutto pizza. I considered ordering it again (it was that good) or opting for the fennel sausage pizza that I typically get at the Carmel Pizzology, but in the interest of research, of course, I figured I’d better opt for something new. I’d heard a lot about one particular appetizer, the Indiana sweet corn, pancetta and jalapeno risotto, so that was a must-try item. A fried green tomato salad also sounded interesting. And at the urging of Turkette, we also sampled one of the evening’s specials, a salad featuring housemade burrata filled with ricotta and pesto. Now, I’ve been very happy with the specials at the Carmel Pizzology. In fact, I’d go back again for the fresh ravioli filled with housemade mortadella and ricotta that enticed me back in February (thanks, Facebook). And I was pleased that the burrata salad special didn’t disappoint. Neither did the creamy risotto, $8, which definitely lives up to its stellar reputation. Although it didn’t gain much heat from the jalapeno, its mildness didn’t keep us from fighting over who got the last bite. We also enjoyed the fried green tomato salad, $10, which was served caprese-like, with slices of housemade mozzarella. I wasn’t sure about the somewhat heavy breading — I tend to like a lighter, crisp-

In fact, three diners next to us the other night each ordered a pizza — and one of them walked out carrying a stack three to-go boxes — so don’t hesitate about ordering more than one. But on this visit, we settled on one of the red sauce varieties. The carni pizza, $13.50, features housemade porchetta, mortadella and pepperoni and is topped with locally raised arugula. And even though the kitchen was out of porchetta – our server asked if we minded a substitution of capicola and the switch was

fine with us — the pie was still a delicious meat-centric choice. Pizzology’s high-temperature, wood-burning oven isn’t as much of a conversation piece as it was when the Carmel location opened in 2009, and by now diners seem more at ease with the spotty charred crusts. Ours was a deep golden brown with just enough of that characteristic spotting, so we had no quibbles with the crust. And speaking of crusts, we also ordered the $1.25 “sidecar” trio of sauces for dipping those crusts, an option I’d certainly recommend (I especially liked mixing the garlic and red sauce). But if you don’t want to wait for a crust to dip, breadsticks are also available and, since our server specifically asked if we’d like some, I assume they’re less of a secret than they’ve been in the past. Dessert options include gelato, zeppole and housemade tiramisu, and even though we were only going to have a few bites of what turned out to be a very tasty tiramisu, $6, it nevertheless quickly disappeared. n

FAUX PAW COCKTAIL
Indy’s familiar for LA’s Caught A Ghost
JURASSIC POP
e
Although the title of Faux Paw’s latest extended play is Cocktail, you might be better off opting for your favorite local brew or three and chasing it with whiskey. The West Lafayette quartet litter their new release with some mild-mannered Americana throughout, but they continually amp up the volume so listeners end up howling and stomping along to the so-called “bummer party music” of Cocktail by the end of its 19 minutes. Faux Paw’s sound can be attributed to a heavy helping of Wilco, Steely Dan, and the like, but I’d also throw in the noisey anthems of bands like Wavves and FIDLAR along with the old soul of The Black Keys. In fact, a variety of differing influences helps make Cocktail one of the more interesting rock and roll albums you’ll hear out of the Central Indiana right now. Opening number “The Jig” begins with dueling, twangy guitar riffs and a lively beat before delivering an exhilarating bridge that sounds like summer. “EZG” is the type of infectious song that will gets into your bloodstream and never leaves (and showcases Gordon Wantuch’s sweeping and intricate guitar work), while the laid-back vibe of “Boxer Brief” shows off some of Garret Nay’s keen wordplay. Cocktail’s undeniable highlights occur in the middle and end, with “That’s Something” and “Corn” highlighting the very best of Faux Paw. The former is a three-and-a-half minute melodic screecher that thanks some higher power for Neil Young, while “Corn” wraps up the show with Faux Paw at their alt-country best – layering all the qualities that make Cocktail the rousing success it is. The six-track effort finds the perfect balance between precision and chaos, as Faux Paw brings an attitude to to this recording that elevates it above 2011’s debut, Too Close is The New Far. Cocktail is one of the coolest releases of the summer. — DREW BERINGER

“ ’m sorry it sounds like there’s dinosaurs next door to me,” Jesse Nolan said a bit sleepily, in the middle of our late June phone call. “My neighbor has two very active Macaw parrots, so every morning I wake up to the sound of just prehistoric shrieking.” Nolan shook the sleep out of his voice soon enough, though. Maybe those parrots are a great wakeup call? Or maybe the Caught A Ghost frontman was just excited to come back to Indianapolis, where he has family and fond memories. It’s beyond cliché to comment on a group’s “meteoric rise,” but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t note Caught A Ghost’s sudden, pervasive presence in venues and on television screens (they’ve had placement on many network TV series). The group’s laid back, soulful tracks aren’t dissimilar from fellow Angeleno Mayer Hawthorne’s vintage pop jams. There’s little, sparkling electronic sidenotes on Nolan’s tracks, though, which he writes and records mostly solo, before bringing them to his band. That band includes actress Tessa Thompson, weeks into a whirlwind press tour for her new movie Dear White People, so Caught A Ghost can add big screen cache to their small screen and small stage domination. Caught A Ghost will play the Hi-Fi on July 14. NUVO: Jesse! You just stopped in Indianapolis. JESSE NOLAN: Yeah, we were just there about six weeks ago. I lose track, but yes, we were just here. NUVO: Why back again so soon? NOLAN: We happen to be out. I’m such a control freak about such a large percentage of the organization, as soon as I get the opportunity to delegate anything, I try and take my mind off it completely. I know that it’s going to get done, that a professional has routed the tour for us, so my job is to just drive the van and get us there! We’re going out to Chicago to play a

festival out there, so we routed to and from there. Indianapolis is just cool. Every time I get the opportunity to stop, I do, because I have a ton of family there. I’ve been coming to indianapolis since I was a little kid. My grandfather was a renowned Civil War historian and scholar and lawyer in the community. They had a great old house on Pennsylvania Avenue – it’s gorgeous. It’s a great looking street. One of my favorite things about Indianapolis is the trees in the summertime. It’s green, and everything’s all humid and there’s lightning bugs out. It’s a very special place. Those are all my memories of coming to Indianapolis, coming in the pool and catching lightning bugs and hanging out with my family. We come from a tradition of music enthusiasts. My perspective on Indiana is just a little bit different because of the community that I come from. The only thing that I know about Indianapolis is the people that I see when I’m there, who are all really fascinating artists and environmentalists and cool people. So, for me, that colors my perception of what the place is like. I think it’s always like, your experience of whatever your city you live in is your community. So you’ve got to find the good people.
NOLAN: It varies. The touring setup is usually around about five people. We’ll take one horn player and then either a bass player or keyboard player, then Tessa and myself singing, and then a drummer. Stephen Edelstein and myself are pretty much the only fixtures, because Tessa [Thompson] is sometimes unavailable for work

because she’s an actress, so sometimes we’ll take somebody else out as a sub. It’s kind of a rotating cast of characters. It’s interesting trying to turn something that is a studio thing into a live thing, but it’s kind of easier with this project. It was a very easy process getting it off the ground. I just made a lot of tracks in the studio. The players who play the horns and drums are also the guys that we tour with, usually. They already knew the parts. And everybody’s really talented. I’ve been lucky enough to only work with really great musicians. So it didn’t really take a lot of rehearsal process, really; everybody just showed up with their shit learned. And from that point, it’s just like working out the unquantifiable, the energy of it. NUVO: Do you guys have a game plan mapped out if Tessa has to be gone for a long period of time? Your project together is gaining a lot of speed at the same time her separate project is gaining a lot of speed – NOLAN: Right. Well, you know, fortunately there’s been a fair amount of serendipity thus far. She’s been able to be there most of the time, We may not be the band that tours 300 dates a year. I don’t think that’s what we are. At the same time, I’m trying

being shot or bleeding out or hooking up or having a heart attack. What is it like to see your work applied to this medium?
NOLAN: It’s fascinating. We do a lot of video work, we make our own videos a lot of the time, pairing videos and music is something that I’m accustomed to. Part of what happens in that process is just seeing what fits. You just shoot some stuff, connect it music and see how that lands, see what emotional response it evokes. “One of my favorite things Sometimes you try to hatch a about Indianapolis is the trees plan about building a narrative from there, other times it’s much in the summertime.” more scripted obviously.

So sometimes it’s something like that, where it’s emotional and it really connects and makes sense. And sometimes it’s just something totally ridiculous. We had a Friskey’s cat food commercial. I was like, “Yeah, sure, totally, I’m down.” I love cats. It was hilarious, watching this cat strolling around to our music. It was actually one of my favorite ones. With the Grey’s Anatomy thing, yeah, I’m always curious to see how they use it. It’s really cool when it’s something that you really love. We had a Boardwalk Empire promo a little while ago, and I really love that show. It was really cool to see them use “No Sugar In My Coffee.” A friend of mine just made a film with Aubrey Plaza and Jason Ritter and some other notables that’s been doing really well on the festival circuit. It’s called About Alex and they’re using “Time Go” as well. It’s really beautifully used in that movie, and that was a very cool moment to see. They drop the needle on the record that they’re listening to as a group, and then it proceeds to really score the scene. It was just really cool to see. It was a really nice use of this. n

VIOLENCE IN BROAD RIPPLE
woke up Saturday morning to the sad news that seven people had been injured during a gunfight on the streets of Broad Ripple. As a DJ who frequently works in this area, I found the information concerning, to say the least. It's particularly concerning in light of the fact that I've personally witnessed multiple violent episodes like brutal fist fights in the street, and guns pulled during intense verbal altercations in the last few years. While I can offer no solutions for the recent plague of violence our city is facing, I do have some thoughts on the Broad Ripple neighborhood, and how I've seen it change over the course of my lifetime. These days when I hear someone refer to Broad Ripple as a cultural district, I have to laugh out loud. But I remember a time when that designation rang true, when the area was a frequent destination for devotees of the arts.
I’ve personally witnessed multiple violent episodes. Growing up in Indianapolis, I was enchanted by the constant stream of world-renowned performers who graced the stages of Broad Ripple's venues such as The Patio and The Vogue. The Broad Ripple I remember from my youth certainly wasn't perfect, but local music and spoken word performance flourished in the '80s and '90s. During warm summer nights, Broad Ripple was a place where young people of all persuasions would gather on a street corner or sidewalk bench simply to talk and connect with one another. I believe Broad Ripple thrives when it encourages visitors to congregate on its streets and engage one another socially. I feel Broad Ripple was at its best when it supported multicultural exchange. Now, while there are still a few cultural enclaves, the majority of the area's venues have sold out to bottom-of-the-barrel entertainment. Cheap drinks and lousy music are the order of the day as low-rent DJs blare bland pop hits at nearly every storefront along Broad Ripple Avenue. My recent experiences on Broad Ripple Avenue have led me to the belief that the combined actions of police officers and bar owners are making the area as inhospitable to culture as possible. I remember gathering with a few local musicians last year for an impromptu street perfor-

mance off a Broad Ripple sidewalk. We were quickly stopped by a group of angry police officers who harassed us while we were threatened with arrest. I've also seen peaceful, law-abiding friends physically violated and even arrested by police simply for distributing event fliers. If the neighborhood is truly committed to creating positive change, simply increasing the police presence is not the answer. There should be smarter policing and smarter cultural programming. In my opinion, bar owners need to reflect on what they're offering the public and take the initiative to create more uplifting and socially responsible entertainment. If binge drinking is the primary social activity Broad Ripple's nightlife offers, the parade of troublemaking idiots won't end anytime soon. And stop blaming black culture and hip-hop music for the neighborhood's problems. Immediately after details of the shooting surfaced I saw several social media users pointing to hip-hop music as the culprit. In reality there's very little hip-hop music to be found in Broad Ripple clubs. Top 40 dance hits rule the day. Sabbatical is one of the few Broad Ripple venues dedicated to presenting culturally relevant programming. They regularly feature local hip-hop artists who embrace and encourage a strong commitment to social responsibility. If anything, we need more of this type of hip-hop culture permeating Broad Ripple. Despite the problems, there's still a lot positivity in the Broad Ripple scene. The Vogue continues to provide world class shows, the Skinners are doing amazing things with Indy CD & Vinyl, there's Sabbatical and the excellent local eateries. But the threat of continuing violence could easily jeopardize all this. Broad Ripple stands at a crossroads. n >> Kyle Long creates a custom podcast for each column. Hear this week’s at NUVO.net

have been asking for it for a long time.” Wentz said having Paramore on road with them and playing equal time will help Fall Out Boy up their game onstage and give fans an even better show. The two bands did some initial planning of the tour and played together on radio shows to promote the tour. Wentz said that they looked at past co-headlining ventures like Metallica and Iron Maiden for ideas, and that Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis came up with the “Monumentour” moniker for the tour. “It’s a long time coming. Our bands really did grow from the same seed and we share a lot of the same fans, yet we do still exist separately with two individual fan bases that fall between us,” Paramore singer Hayley Williams told us. “I think that this is going to be so perfect, to just really celebrate where we come from and where we are going.” — LEEANN DOERFLEIN Klipsch Music Center, 12880 E. 146th St., 7 p.m., prices vary, all-ages ALL-AGES Seahaven, Weatherbox California band Seahaven hits up the Hoosier Dome with post-punk album Ghost.

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL Holey Nipples, Batman I went to get my nipples pierced and the first one hurt so fucking bad that I couldn’t have them do the other one. I heard it was painful but it’s like almost unbearable. I can’t even wear a bra without taping a cotton ball over my nipple. At this point, should I tough it out and let it heal or should I take it out? I’m worried about long-term loss of sensation, scarring and all that. — Via Tumblr
Do you have any recommendations when it comes to erotic literature? Something more recent than Casanova, and something more progressive than 50 Shades of Grey? Something I could make my husband read to me? (He falls asleep when I’m reading.) — Via Tumblr SARAH: My best advice? Grab a bunch of modern anthologies and get into as many different authors and styles until you find someone you like (which, now that I think about it, is also my advice for finding the most compatible sex partner). Now, with regard to the progressive part of that, you should go with a collection contributed to or edited by someone known for making progressive, sex-positive, modern literature. For my money, soon-to-be Purdue professor Roxane Gay (please go to roxanegay.com and read anything you can—there’s lots of pieces available on the web) knocks it out of the park on that front, having contributed to several fabulous anthologies of some of the best erotic writing available now. It would be easier for me to list things she hasn’t written, but as a huge fan, I’d say grab one of these erotica anthologies (Best American Erotica series, Best Sex Writing series) and let that serve as a kind of tasting menu of sex fiction, stick some 3M flags in there and bring it with you next time you go to your friendly neighborhood bookstore. While you’re there, grab every available copy of 50 Shades you can find, toss them into a barrel with just a splash of gasoline, light it up, and warm yourself by the flames of all those gag-inducing strings of words meeting their deserved end.
Go to NUVO.net/askthesexdoc to see Gay’s list of erotic fiction recommentations. Thanks Roxane! DR. D: Oldie but goodies are My Secret Garden and Sex Toy Tales. For more contemporary erotica, check out books by Rachel Kramer Bussell — she edits tons of wonderful books on everything from hotel sex to BDSM.
SARAH: Thank you, reader. We’ve gone a few weeks without a question that made me have to stand up at my desk and make a noise like ghost is escaping from my stomach. This is clearly not the look for you, and you should definitely get that thing out of there, but not by yourself! If I were you, I’d head straight back to the joint where you got it stuck and ask one of the professionals to take it out. While this is all new and terrifying to you, those folks with the needles have seen every kind of reaction to a piercing there is, and if you went to a reputable place, they’ll give you plenty of aftercare info and will likely be happy to remove it if it’s just not working for you. But if you try to take it out yourself, you might pull on it or jostle it or clean it improperly and make it way, way worse. This is a job for your piercer and your piercer only, and follow their exact instructions when it comes to cleaning the hole. DR. D: If you don’t like it, why keep it in? It doesn’t sound like you’re enjoying the aftermath. Nipple piercings are comfortable and/or erotic for some people but not everyone — in fact, not even most people. Your decision to tough it out and let it heal or say thanks but no thanks is really a personal one. Nipple piercings don’t tend to cause long term damage for most people, it’s more a personal decision about what you feel is right for you and your body.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What are the sources that heal and nourish you? Where do you go to renew yourself? Who are the people and animals that treat you the best and are most likely to boost your energy? I suggest that in the coming week you give special attention to these founts of love and beauty. Treat them with the respect and reverence they deserve. Express your gratitude and bestow blessings on them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Why do birds fly? First, that’s how they look for and procure food. Second, when seasons change and the weather grows cooler, they may migrate to warmer areas where there’s more to eat. Third, zipping around in mid-air is how birds locate the materials they need to build nests. Fourth, it’s quite helpful in avoiding predators. But ornithologists believe there is yet another reason: Birds fly because it’s fun. In fact, up to 30 percent of the time, that’s their main motivation. In accordance with the astrological omens, Taurus, I invite you to match the birds’ standard in the coming weeks. See if you can play and enjoy yourself and have a good time at least 30 percent of the time. Taurus

I’m not talking about a luxury it would be pleasant to have or a status symbol that would titillate your ego. Rather, I’m referring to an indispensable asset you need to create the next chapter of your life story. Identify what this crucial treasure is, Gemini. Make or obtain an image of it, and put that image on a shrine in your sanctuary. Pray for it. Vividly visualize it for a few minutes several times a day. Sing little songs about it. The time has arrived for to become much more serious and frisky about getting that valuable thing in your possession. Gemini

With the help of their inspirational power, I hereby dissolve any curse or spell that was ever placed on you, even if it was done inadvertently, and even if it was cast by yourself. Furthermore, the holy laughter I unleash as I carry out this purification serves to expunge any useless feelings, delusional desires, bad ideas, or irrelevant dreams you may have grown attached to.

get your mind blown. And I’m sure that on more than one occasion you have had your heart stolen. But I am curious, Virgo, about whether you have ever had your mind stolen or your heart blown. And I also wonder if two rare events like that have ever happened around the same time. I’m predicting a comparable milestone sometime in the next three weeks. Have no fear! The changes these epiphanies set in motion will ultimately bring you blessings. Odd and unexpected blessings, probably, but blessings nonetheless. P.S.: I’m sure you are familiar with the tingling sensation that wells up in your elbow when you hit your funny bone. Well, imagine a phenomena like that rippling through your soul. Leo
series of shows, comedian Groucho Marx was invited to participate in a séance. He decided to attend even though he was skeptical of the proceedings. Incense was burning. The lights were dim. The trance medium worked herself into a supernatural state until finally she announced, “I am in touch with the Other Side. Does anyone have a question?” Groucho wasn’t shy. “What is the capital of North Dakota?” he asked. As amusing as his irreverence might be, I want to use it as an example of how you should NOT proceed in the coming week.

Have you been longing to thoroughly discuss certain important issues with a loved one or ally, but haven’t found a way to do so? If so, a breakthrough is potentially imminent.

I believe this exercise will have a healthy effect on your future development. It will discipline your willpower and hone your motivation as it eliminates extraneous desires.

Everywhere you go, carry gifts with you just in case you encounter beautiful souls who aren’t lost in their own fantasies. You know that old niche you got stuck in as a way to preserve the peace? Escape it. At least for now, live without experts and without leaders — with no teachers other than what life brings you moment by moment. Aquarius

Iron Man 3 brought in over a billion dollars, too, and Thor: The Dark World grossed $644 million. Now Marvel executives are on schedule to release two movies every year through 2028. I’d love to see you be inspired by their example, Libra. Sound fun? To get started, dream and scheme about what you want to be doing in both the near future and the far future.

That’s only 15 percent as much as what the elders receive. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I believe your priorities should be reversed. Give the majority of your energy and time and money to the young and innocent parts of your life. Devote less attention to the older and more mature aspects. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need to care intently for what’s growing most vigorously. Pisces
