TEVE LARCHUK loves books. He loves to read them and he loves to write them. As the 61-year-old Franklin Park resident was preparing to launch his campaign to take on Republican U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus next year, he released a book he co-authored called Fifty Questions Your Congressman Should Answer If They Want Your Vote. The first question in the book is, “Can the U.S. Government bounce a check?” The answer — “Only if it wants to” — is one that Larchuk, an Internet and health-care-law attorney and businessman, has made the cornerstone of an economic plan that he says will rebuild the American middle class and strengthen the economy. The widower

and father of two calls himself a practical Democrat: socially progressive and fiscally conscious. He doesn’t believe the U.S. needs to raise taxes to solve its problems. But continuing on its current path, he says, will spell doom. “There’s another way to do things,” he says. Larchuk talked to City Paper recently about those plans, why he’s running, and his opponent.

YOU’RE AN ATTORNEY BY TRADE, WITH ONE PREVIOUS RUN FOR CONGRESS UNDER YOUR BELT. WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO CHALLENGE ONE OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS? Everybody complains that the people who

ought to run for Congress, don’t. And I was just like the rest of those fellas, complaining about government but focusing on my legal career and my renewableenergy business in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

But here I am at age 61 and I have the financial ability [Larchuk has loaned about $90,000 to his campaign so far] as well as the business and legal background … that qualifies me to be an effective Congressman. I decided that given who we have representing the 12th District now, it’s tremendously important that we replace him with someone who goes to Washington with the best interest of the voters in mind instead of the donors that finance his campaigns.

YOU RAN FOR CONGRESS IN 2004 AND TALKED ONLY ABOUT HEALTH-CARE REFORM. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE THAT NOW WAS THE BEST TIME FOR ANOTHER RUN? It’s been more than 10 years since I last ran and things have gotten worse. We’ve made some progress with the Affordable Care Act. It’s still not where it needs to be, but it’s a substantial start. But in terms of wealth disparity ... we’re in serious, serious trouble in this country, and with everything that the [Federal Reserve Bank] has tried to do to pull us out of the recession, they’re out of ideas.

They think the only way to fix the economy is by dumping more money into Wall Street, which is absolutely not correct.

The financial sector is only a tiny part of the economy, an important part, but only part. The Fed has essentially ignored the rest of the economy. And when you start to study why incomes haven’t gone up in 40 years for most people, and you ask yourself, why is it 42 percent of the national wealth is in the top 1 percent, you begin to think that through and realize what the problem is. And that is there’s been this huge hemorrhaging of capital from the rest of the economy. It’s floated to the top, where it’s being essentially hoarded by the wealthy, and at the same time we’ve had this persistent trade deficit. So when you add up the money that has gone overseas and floated to the top, you begin to realize that the problem with the economy is that monetary supply has not been properly managed by the Fed. They’ve been obsessed with the financial sector to the detriment [of] everybody else.

begrudge that, that’s fine. As a matter of fact, we learned a lesson from that: We can infuse substantial new capital into our economy and not have raging inflation while the dollar remains strong and, frankly, six years ago nobody thought that was possible. ... If we started to seriously inject new money into the economy from the Federal Reserve — I’m not talking about raising taxes. I’m not talking about cutting social programs. I’m talking about doing exactly for the greater economy what the Fed did for Wall Street.

Its job is to create new capital and then inject it, not through the Wall Street banks this time, but through … the middle class, and the economy starts to grow from the middle out, not the top down.

BUT WHAT MAKES YOU THE GUY TO SELL THIS MESSAGE TO DEMOCRATS, THE REPUBLICANS, THE SPECIAL INTERESTS? First of all, the message often depends on the messenger. I come from a personal background where I’ve not had my hand out. I’ve paid my taxes. I’ve paid for my own health care. I’ve built businesses and I’ve employed people. I’ve actually gone into my personal savings to make sure that payrolls recovered so that other people could feed their families. This gives me some credibility that your average run-of-themill progressive doesn’t necessarily have. … We have a financial crisis that I call “monetary famine.”

All of this capital, the money has been sucked out of the economy and not replaced. And just like in any other famine, the people at the top will always eat and the people down below will starve. And if starving sounds like an exaggeration, how many people do you know that have anything saved for retirement? How many people are deeply in debt? It’s a big crisis that’s about to get worse if we don’t do something. ... Economists have recognized this problem for years. They know it exists, but they’re not legislators. They don’t take the next step to get elected and fix the problem. They say somebody needs to do something.

Well, I want to be the somebody who does something.

“KEITH ROTHFUS IS NOT ABOUT SUBSTANCE — HE’S ABOUT TRYING TO TEAR DOWN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SPENT GENERATIONS TRYING TO BUILD.”

FOR EXAMPLE? The financial sector dominates all of the equity and capital in our country. Meanwhile, we have decaying infrastructure with no plan at all to rebuild the roads, railroads and dams. There are all sorts of things that we could be doing, and we’re not doing it because the Federal Reserve is not infusing cash back into the economy — the trillions of dollars required to resuscitate the United States. Instead, the money they’ve injected has all gone to the Wall Street banks and has bailed them out. Look at history for the past five years; who has succeeded? Who has done well? The financial sector. I don’t

They think they’re entitled to have the rest of us protect their wealth. This isn’t the ďŹ rst time in history that this has happened. In the 1860s, somehow plantation owners and slave owners were able to convince hundreds of thousands of people who didn’t have slaves or [their] own plantations that it was in their best interest to go and put their lives on the line to protect the plantation owners.

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 10.07/10.14.2015

WHEN VOTER-ID laws that would require voters to show identiďŹ cation at the polls began springing up around the country four years ago, it started a national conversation about the barriers many marginalized groups face when attempting to acquire a photo ID. Locally, the price of a state-issued photo ID isn’t cheap: You need a check or money order to pay for it, and the IDs can be acquired only at the state Department of Motor Vehicles (there’s only one location in the city).

Although the controversy over voterID laws vanished when the proposed legislation was ruled unconstitutional, disparate access to government-issued identiďŹ cation remains. But a new idea that has caught on in other municipalities might be catching ďŹ re in Pittsburgh.

Since 2007, more than a dozen cities have implemented municipal identiďŹ cation cards to break down opportunity barriers for their residents. “One of the things we’re looking forward to is the way municipal IDs increase access for all of [a city’s] residents,â€? says Betty Cruz, special-initiatives manager for the mayor’s ofďŹ ce. “If you don’t have a photo ID, by having a government-issued photo ID, this can open up opportunities.â€?

The mayor’s ofďŹ ce is calling on Pittsburgh City Council to approve a feasibility study for municipal IDs that would be paid for with a grant from the nonproďŹ t Hillman Foundation. The study would take approximately six months to complete. Implementing municipal IDs could take anywhere from one year — that’s how long it took in New York City — to four years, if the city decides to go with a more advanced card technology that could be tied to a prepaid bank card. “I think it’s an exciting project to potentially have an ID that would unify all city of Pittsburgh residents and be able to allow residents to access the resources that we pay for and that we deserve,â€?

Pittsburgh City Councilor Natalia Rudiak said at a Sept. 30 meeting.

The idea for municipal IDs was spurred by the Welcoming Pittsburgh Initiative, an effort to improve “quality of life and economic prosperity for immigrants and native-born residents.� In other cities, municipal IDs have served

to increase access for immigrant and undocumented populations. “Even though those cities might have started out with their municipal IDs because they have a large immigrant community or an undocumented community,� says Cruz, “one of the unexpected consequences was how valuable the card was to other groups of people, to other perhaps marginalized populations who people don’t think of but who often don’t have a government-issued photo ID.�

These groups can include senior citizens with mobility issues, veterans reacclimating to the community and lowincome residents who lack the means to afford a state-issued ID. “People say, ‘Well, you can have a state ID even if you don’t have a driver’s license’ — well, it’s almost $ 30,â€? Cruz says. “It’s not affordable for many, and it’s also something you have to speciďŹ cally go to the DMV to get.â€?

Today, not having a form of photo identiďŹ cation can mean not being able to open a bank account. But it can also lead to more dire consequences. “There are folks who might have an encounter with law enforcement,â€? Cruz says. “They can’t prove they are who they say they are because they don’t have a government-issued photo ID, and the situation might take a different turn if they could just prove they are who they say they are.â€?

For those who already have photo identiďŹ cation, the municipal IDs will also offer perks like free admission to cultural institutions, prescription-drug discounts and deals at local restaurants.

Some of the city’s cultural institutions, like the Carnegie museums, are already interested in being involved.

The ID can also be linked to other accounts, like a Carnegie Library card or Port Authority of Allegheny County’s ConnectCard, used for public transportation.

Says Cruz: “When you match that piece that we were hearing, that there’s a lot of people who for whatever reason don’t have a valid photo ID and the beneďŹ ts of access, and then you couple that with other beneďŹ ts that any Pittsburgher — even if you have a photo ID — would connect with, then it’s going to be appealing for all Pittsburghers.â€?

“THIS CAN OPEN UP OPPORTUNITIES.�

East Liberty residents question city concessions to Penn Plaza owners {BY RYAN DETO}

THE PENN PLAZA Apartments deal may be done, but that doesn’t mean everyone is happy about it.

After receiving eviction notices in July by the complex’s owners, Pennley Park South (a subsidiary of LG Realty, which is owned by the Gumberg family), residents launched an effort to hold off evictions from the below-market-rate apartments. Last week, Mayor Bill Peduto’s office announced an agreement that mandates that the owners pay residents’ relocation fees and establishes affordable-housing percentages in sections of East Liberty.

But according to some local residents, the agreement includes concessions to the developer that make it far from an equitable victory.

Sallyann Kluz, an East Liberty resident, believes the agreement includes some questionable clauses, including details about potentially selling the public park next to Penn Plaza to the Gumbergs.

“This is an asset,” says Kluz. “We should not be giving away any piece of public land up for private development.”

Enright Parklet is a small park with two basketball courts and a playground. Kluz says the park is used for basketball tournaments and picnics and is one of the few public green spaces currently in East Liberty. A Facebook page protesting the potential sale of the park, started by a group of residents including Kluz, popped up Sept. 28, the day the agreement was announced. Since then, hundreds of users have posted support of the park remaining public.

Kendall Pelling, of nonprofit East Liberty Development Inc., says the sale of the park is contrary to the vision of the East Liberty community plan, which was created in 1999 to provide a framework for revitalization for the neighborhood. He also says it goes against the intention of the agreement between Penn Plaza residents, the Gumbergs and the city.

“The sale of that park is not necessary to protect the residents or advance affordable housing,” says Pelling.

Kluz — who is an ELDI board member but says she is speaking out as a resident — says that community engagement should be the first process when conveying public land to private entities.

Kevin Acklin, the mayor’s chief of staff and head architect of the agreement, says

there is still a rigorous public process to come, including votes from city council and the URA board. Because of this, the city still has leverage on the future of the park, according to Acklin.

“We may retain a part of the park, or we may convey that we would want the Gumbergs to build a new park,” says Acklin.

On Oct. 2, Acklin met with community leaders to discuss the future of the park. According to Kluz, who attended the sit-down with Acklin and the Gumbergs’ lawyer Jonathan Kamin, the details of the developer’s plan for the park is still up in the air.

But the owners envision something like an open-space retail center with public access, similar to Market Square.

“They want to develop the park to be something fancy, and we believe it should be something for the whole public,” says Pelling.

Kluz points out that the agreement has other language that concerns her, where “everything is contingent on everything else.”

One of these contingencies revolves around the future Mellon Orchard development, planned housing two blocks away from Penn Plaza. According to the agreement, the site will now include a minimum of 20 percent affordable units.

Additionally, the west side of the Penn Plaza development could also include a percentage of affordable units, but only if the Gumbergs are awarded the Mellon Orchard site within one year, according to the agreement.

Acklin argues that this contingency is a win for the city. He says the Gumbergs would have to include an average of 20 percent affordable housing overall for Mellon and the west side of the future Penn Plaza development, if they were awarded the site. And if the Gumbergs don’t get the site, a portion of Penn Plaza still has to include affordable housing at levels set by the city’s affordable-housing task force.

“That condition does not bind the URA, it binds Gumberg,” Acklin says.

But Kluz questions the Gumbergs’ ability to create and run affordable housing well, considering that the vast majority of their properties are retail and office spaces.

“I think affordable housing is a hard thing to get your hands around,” she says, “so it should be someone with some experience in how to manage it.”

“WE SHOULD NOT BE GIVING AWAY ANY PIECE OF PUBLIC LAND UP FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT.”

Everyone had a buzz and let it all hang out, even before midnight.

Modern players traded in those amphetamines for HGH (although even that’s going away), swapped ice-cold beer for bottled water and gave up chewing tobacco for sunflower seeds. The shifty cocaine dealer is no longer lurking in the background; instead, it’s a personal trainer making sure you’re staying on your workout regimen. What a bunch of wusses.

Today, relief pitchers come running out to the mound with heavy-metal music blaring. Back then, notas-uptight relief pitchers leisurely rode in a golf cart from the bullpen. Whether it is better now or then is completely subjective. Athletes are certainly in better shape today. No one chokes up on the bat like Tim Foli, or wears reading glasses like Kent Tekulve. But I will put Dave Parker’s cannon of an arm up against anyone playing today.

The cheap seats in 1979 must have been great. You could go to a game for around $ 5, and still have a little left over to party on Liberty Avenue. We’ll remember 1979 as the year Stargell unfairly had to share his MVP award with Keith Hernandez. But you did not see Hernandez holding a championship trophy with Terry Bradshaw on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Ahh, the good old days.

Hopefully, we can look back on the days of Andrew McCutchen, Gerrit Cole, Starling Marte and the 2015 Pirates with similar reverence. Unfortunately, we might also be waxing nostalgic about the “good old days” when tickets were just $50, beer only cost $10 a can and you could park for a measly $25.

“YOU COULD BLOW CIGARETTE SMOKE IN SOMEONE’S FACE DURING THE GAME AND THEY JUST HAD TO DEAL WITH IT.”

back Friday or Turn-back-the-clock Tuesday, we love nostalgia. Even though, most of the time, the past is over-romanticized.

The 1950s, to a lot of people, is the golden era to which we should strive to return. Well, that’s great if you love segregation, unfettered air pollution and polio.

But for Pittsburgh sports fans, the golden era is the 1970s. That’s why this week I’ve prepared a special Way-Back-Wednesday edition of Cheap Seats.

Everybody in Pittsburgh knows that the sports world achieved perfection in 1979. A fourth Lombardi, a fifth World Series, and we were just three years removed from Pitt football’s national title. We didn’t even know that a couple of teenagers named Danny Marino and Mario Lemiuex were on their way to extend our golden era. With the 2015 Pirates winning more than 95 games in PNC Park, let’s travel back to the cheap seats at Three Rivers Stadium the last time they won it all.

Back then the stadium had a 600 level, the cheapest of all seats. In those days, you could blow cigarette smoke in someone’s face during the game and they just had to deal with it; popping a Quaalude or two was also completely acceptable. Sitting high above the Allegheny River watching amphetaminefueled players run around the rock-hard artificial turf was a tiny slice of heaven.

And if you needed something with a little more pop, even the Pirates mascot could hook you up. It was a land of big mustaches, bigger hair and crazy-looking uniforms. The players and the fans were all as high as the inflation.

Hall of Fame captain Willie Stargell led the 1979 team and everyone knew him as Pops. Coolers full of beer were stocked in the dugout. You just had to remove a massive chaw of chewing tobacco from your mouth first. The entire decade was one big party, perhaps best summed up by the iconic picture of the “Cobra,” Dave Parker, smoking a cigarette in uniform during a game. Other teams had glow-in-the-dark baseballs, nickel-beer nights and disco nights, and the Chicago White Sox even wore shorts. Not the uncomfortable-to-look at shorty-shorts NBA players wore, but shorts nonetheless.

VENEZUELAN COCHINO FRITO — NUGGETS OF SEASONED, FRIED PORK — WAS EXCELLENT

A NEW LEAF ON PENN {BY AL HOFF} Residents of, and visitors to, the Penn Avenue corridor in Bloomfield/Garfield have suffered through months of torn-up streets and sidewalks. But a relaxing new space has emerged amid the rubble: Bantha Tea Bar. It’s a cozy, funky storefront space, completely made over with clever design features — from a curved ceiling that lends a mini-cavern vibe, and a tilemosaic floor, to a bar decorated with inset broken-glass pieces and footrest made from a trolley rail (reclaimed from the Penn Avenue construction debris).

Local is the watchword at Bantha, with mugs made by Ton Pottery, in Lawrenceville, and teas and baked goods coming from local purveyors, whenever possible. One tea source is Healcrest Urban Farm, just up the hill in Garfield.

(Even the walls function as a display space for the wares of local artists.)

Jars of loose tea range from hearty “blacks,” like Scottish breakfast and the smoky lapsang souchong, to more herbal “greens,” including Chinese green tea and the Latin American favorite, yerba mate. A “medicinal” portion of the menu suggests teas to help one feel better: echinacea, rose hips and the hopefully named “Phlegm No More.” For those who’d rather have coffee, Bantha offers a French-pressed mug.

And yeah, the Penn Avenue construction is still banging away. But now you can sit in Bantha’s curved wooden bench seat by the garage-door windows, with a steaming mug of tea, and comfortably watch progress grind forward.

E AMERICANS can get so caught

up in our melting-pot mythos that we sometimes forget that immigrants shaped the cultures — and cuisines — of many other countries, as well. It was immigrant influence that brought schnitzel to Argentina, CubanChinese restaurants to New York and, closer to home, a Venezuelan-Italian restaurant to Bloomfield.

Adolfo’s menu is not fusion, and since most Italian immigration to Venezuela happened in the postwar years, neither is there a complex interplay between the cuisines.

Instead, Adolfo’s presents a menu of dishes culled from both culinary traditions.

The Italian side was familiar enough, especially in Pittsburgh’s self-proclaimed Little Italy, although the daily specials

pupusas, which are split and stuffed like sandwich rolls. Fried mini arepas can be had, unstuffed, as an a la carte side, while the full-size ones come stuffed with various combinations of shredded meats, cheese, avocado and more.

We ordered two stuffed arepas, not realizing just how substantial they’d be; one with a cup of soup or salad would make an ample lunch. Shredded chicken was moist, flavorful and complemented with melted mild cheddar cheese; shredded beef had the luscious mouthfeel of braised short ribs, flecked with vegetables and seasonings.

The arepa itself, with its distinct corn flavor and light but not airy crumb, had more presence than a sandwich bun, and its interior was tender like a cake of polenta.

An expert suggests cheeses to accompany those beers This is the time of year to unfasten that top button and eat really rich food with abandon. For the impending hibernation, consider a feast of beer and cheese. After all, beer is made with grains, and said grains also feed the milk-producing animals responsible for that heavenly substance, cheese.

With its famed cheese counter that would make any cook swoon, the Strip District’s Pennsylvania Macaroni Company seemed to hold answers. Meet Richard Derzic Jr., an experienced cheesemonger who mulled over fall pairings for saison, IPA, porter and stout.

A bearded, soft-spoken guy, he quietly says what he means, so while 8 a.m. might seem early to eat a quarter-pound of cheese, I was up for the task.

For stouts, Derzic advises Irish cheddar.

This drier cheese, with its lingering sweetness, accommodates beer’s often slightly bitter quality. Really good Parmesan works equally well and its low lactose content is a bonus for sensitive stomachs. The creaminess of porter benefits from the nutty finish of an aged or smoked Gouda. If you’re a slave to IPA, farmhouse cheddar will do nicely: Sharp, earthy and very unprocessed, these cheddars balance the floral and grassy notes IPAs so often lead with.

Finally, for saison, try a washed rind cheese. This stinky but creamy and a tiny bit funky cheese complements a chewy or spiced saison. Derzic gave me a cut of Taleggio, but says Morbier or something similar would also do.

When sampling cheese, there’s a perhaps-obvious trick to really tasting it: Stick a small amount to the roof of your mouth and rub it over your palate. Though firm about this technique, Derzic says that there are no strict rules for pairing beer and cheese. He believes in honoring personal preference, and often gravitates toward cheeses sharing a geographic origin similar to the beers. The cardinal rule is, don’t be afraid to ask for help. “I’m here five days a week,” he says. “Come down and ask.”

Vaccarello makes a mean bowl, good to know as autumn creeps near. We were sorry to miss, by one day, a special of sopa de costilla (beef rib), but the regular menu’s pastina, the classic Italian chicken-noodle soup made with tiny pieces of pasta, was a delicious consolation. The broth was intensely umami without being too salty, while the garnishes of basil, cheese and egg added heft and distinguished Adolfo’s version from plainer American ones.

Fried calamari were also a step above.

We were already pleased with the tender squid — a mix of perfectly cooked rings and those bite-size miniature creatures — and light, crispy coating when we first tried them served with olive oil-garlic sauce. Normally, this comes with sautéed calamari, and marinara comes with the fried, but we ordered a dish of both. Infused not only with finely minced garlic but also with crushed red chili and scallions, the olive oil was mildly piquant, aromatically herbal and revelatory on the calamari, adding big flavor without hiding the essence of the squid. The marinara was also good — thick and balanced between pungent and sweet — but it was the olive-oil dish we mopped clean.

Similarly, linguine pescatatori is available in white or red sauce, and Jason opted for white. Here, garlic and wine enhanced the succulence of the mixed seafood and coated the al dente pasta without dominating the plate. Mussels and clams in their shells, plus shrimp and more squid, were all tender, briny and sweet. This is a deceptively simple dish, with nowhere to hide flawed technique or ingredients, and Adolfo’s was superb.

Pesto-cream sauce is paired on the menu with tortellini, but since these were unavailable, we tried it with ravioli. They had a creamy filling and tender wrappers; more cream in the sauce added silky texture and a hint of richness to the pesto without weighing it down or diluting its wonderful herbal intensity.

Venezuelan cochino frito — nuggets of seasoned, fried pork – was served with rice, cheese-drizzled black beans and strips of fried yucca with a garlic-ranch dipping sauce. Every element of this substantial dish was excellent: The pork was moist and generously salt-and-peppered; the rice and beans were enhanced by the creaminess of just enough cheese; and the yucca was supple and receptive to the charms of the tangy, zesty dip.

Pirates fan Jason loves it that, at the same time the Buccos added an Italian-Venezuelan catcher, whose excellent play and Dean Martin walkup music have made him a fan favorite, Bloomfield added an ItalianVenezuelan restaurant. Mark us as fans of Adolfo’s, too.

“THAT ALBUM SELLS MORE EACH YEAR NOW THAN IT EVER DID BACK WHEN IT WAS RELEASED.”

BEAT

{BY MARGARET WELSH}

When local hip-hop artist Tairey was featured on the cover of City Paper last November, he said of his then-new release, Celestial: “I want this project to remind me that it is OK that I don’t know who I am right now.”

Now, less than a year later, he’s released a follow-up, Atmos. Does he have a better idea of who he is this time around? “Definitely, yes,” he says over the phone. “I have more confidence; I’m more assured that this is what I should be doing.”

Atmos is more sophisticated than Celestial, but feels like a natural progression.

Both records are built around chilly electro beats — think the Weeknd without the misanthropy — but Tairey’s mid-vocalrange rapsinging is more reminiscent of someone like Drake, as is the emotional subject matter. (“People ask me who my songs are about,” he says. “I never tell them, of course.”)

For Atmos, “We paid more attention to detail,” Tairey says, referring to his longtime collaborator Sam Conturo. “It’s a lot more of us understanding what we want to do and executing it better. We learned how to put more energy into the music.”

The rapper had a chance to show off that energy at last month’s Thrival festival.

He’d performed in 2014 as well, in an earlier time slot, and festival organizers immediately asked him to return in 2015.

“Then, after my performance this year,” he says with a smile in his voice, “they asked me to perform next year.”

The new record has received plenty of positive feedback from listeners. Tairey says that one young fan admitted that he was nervous about the new record: He was afraid it wouldn’t match Celestial.

“At first, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to match it either,” Tairey says, noting that, for a while, the pressure he put on himself to make something “better” was a little paralyzing. “But when we listened to Atmos for the first time, I thought, ‘Wow, we did it naturally without having to try.’”

Of course, inspiration comes all the more easily once you’ve put in the work, and Tairey has. “[This is] literally all I do all day every day,” he say. “I’m not in school, I don’t have a job. I just make music.”

STAR POWER

SIREN SONGS {BY ANDY MULKERIN}

O

VER THE 35 minutes of The Zom-

bies’ 1968 magnum opus, Odessey and Oracle, there are a few moments that will stop you cold; one is the beginning of “Butcher’s Tale (Western Front 1914).” Nestled on Side B of the fulllength, between the heartwarming ballad “This Will Be Our Year” and the nearsaccharine pop tune “Friends of Mine,” “Butcher’s Tale” opens with pure noise, growing into a carnivalesque voice-andpump-organ ditty. It’s grim in content — as the title implies, it’s about World War I — and creepy in its psychedelic tone. It also had the distinction, on the album that later spawned the international hit “Time of the Season,” of being a lead single. “‘Butcher’s Tale’ I always thought was a great song,” says keyboardist Rod Argent, noting that it was one of a number on the album written by bassist Chris White. “It was the craziest choice for a single. That was the first single off the album. It was in a way one of my favorite songs on the album — but never a single!”

that broke up before the album hit stores — there was a lot conspiring against Odessey and Oracle becoming the classic it’s now regarded as. (The misspelling in the title, the story goes, stems from a typo on the cover designer’s part.) It was the first (and last) time the young band produced its own record. The British five-piece had emerged in the mid-’60s with jazz-tinged rock hits like

THE ZOMBIES

“She’s Not There,” reaching a healthy level of success, but never the widespread fame of the biggest British Invasion outfits. By 1968, half of the band was looking to settle down rather than stick it out in the rapidly changing rock world. Besides, the way the industry was structured, the group’s primary songwriters, Argent and White, were doing a bit better financially than the others.

“There wasn’t any rancor about it,” White says. “Rod and I had enough to live, because we were writers. And the others weren’t. The record didn’t take off first of all, and they had to live.”

After the band split, singer Colin Blunstone went solo (with some production help from Argent and White); Argent formed the band Argent, with White helping out behind the scenes. (White co-wrote the band’s biggest hit, “Hold Your Head Up.”) “Chris and I desperately wanted to keep together and keep working,” Argent recalls. “Chris didn’t want to play live anymore, so he became sort of a silent member of Argent, as a co-writer and co-producer.”

(White’s recollection is slightly different: “I had no problem with touring,” he says. “But when we put together Argent, [Jim Rodford] was a better bass player than me. So I concentrated on writing and producing.”)

The Zombies’ biggest lasting legacy (and cash cow) is “Time of the Season,” an offkilter, swinging psych tune that became an Aquarian anthem. But it’s Odessey and Oracle as a whole that’s kept up interest in the

band as more than a one- or two-hit wonder. “That album sells more each year now than it ever did back when it was released,” Argent says.

While Argent, a virtuoso keyboardist and charming performer, was always important in charting the band’s course musically, Odessey was where White came into his own as a writer. No one is quicker to point that out than Argent himself.

“Chris really flowered during that time,” Argent says. “Some of the songs that he wrote, when you compare them to the early songs he wrote, are really great. Things like ‘This Will Be Our Year’ have really stood up over time.”

“That’s now become a wedding song!”

White says of “This Will Be Our Year,” something of an ex post facto classic. “My youngest son got married on August 1st, and I played it at his wedding, with my other son, who’s got a band called Et Tu Brute.

And it was played at his wedding — it goes on and on and on. I’ve heard it at so many weddings; it’s not my song anymore.”

In the late ’90s, Argent and Blunstone reunited to tour; before long, they were performing as The Zombies, with a band that included Jim Rodford and his son, Steve.

There were some short-lived reunions; in 2004, the original band played together shortly before guitarist Paul Atkinson’s death.

Then in 2008, Chris White had an idea.

“I suddenly realized it was coming up on” the album’s 40th anniversary, he says, “and we’d never performed Odessey and Oracle anywhere. We split up soon after recording it. I said to Rod, ‘You realize it?,’ and he said, ‘Let’s talk about doing an Odessey and Oracle premiere!’”

That turned into a series of Odessey dates in London in 2008, which was the last time the four remaining original members played together, until now. The Zombies tour that comes to Carnegie Library Music Hall of Homestead on Wed., Oct. 14, is part of an international tour with the original four — a one-off, Argent says, before he and Blunstone return to their newZombies lineup.

The idea is to recreate Odessey and Oracle as faithfully as possible for an American crowd that’s never seen the album performed live by the original lineup. That means bringing to life, for example, the musique concrete and pump organ and vulnerability of “Butcher’s Tale.”

“It’s very emotional doing that one,” notes White. “It was emotional when I wrote it, and it’s emotional when I do it. And it really has echoes in the modern time.”

Argent can’t disagree; “Butcher’s Tale” is an unconventional standout on an unconventional album. “It still gives me the chills playing that.”

ON THE RECORD

with Kinky Friedman {BY CHARLIE DEITCH} Kinky Friedman loves Willie Nelson. The pair opens up Friedman’s new record, The Loneliest Man I Ever Met, with a duet of Nelson’s 1974 song “Bloody Mary Morning.” It’s the first studio album in 32 years for Friedman, who has written cult hits like “Ride ’Em Jewboy” (an ode to Holocaust survivors) and “We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to You.”

Kinky Friedman

The partnership with Nelson isn’t just a vocal one. Nelson has apparently been a big influence on Friedman, who has been dubbed “the Jewish Cowboy.” During an hour-long interview, Friedman is quick to share the sage advice that Nelson has given him over the years. When Friedman was booking his upcoming tour, Nelson told him “to do a large number of consecutive shows without taking a night off,” and so he’ll perform with just a couple of h nights off between More wit an m ied now and Nov. 12.

Kinky Fr . w w w online at per “It’s truly quite a pghcityp amazing,” says .com Friedman, who will turn 71 on the tour. “You start running on pure adrenaline. I start hearing voices of people like Jesus, Johnny Appleseed and Lenny Bruce in my head. You have to stay on top of your game when you’re doing 35 straight shows.

There’s something spiritual about the road — about going out there and succeeding or failing each night.

“Which reminds me of something else that Willie told me: ‘If you fail at something long enough, you become a legend.’”

While Friedman hasn’t reached the nosebleed heights of success, it’s tough to call him a failure. His songs resonate deeply with certain audiences (Nelson Mandela was a fan), and in Germany, he says, he’s a bona fide superstar.

“Americans are a little slow to understand it, but the Germans get every word. I’m huge over there. I’m the thinking man’s David Hasselhoff.”

Wish I might: Stars (Torquil Campbell, far right)

STILL SHINING {BY CARAYLN GREEN} IT’S A RELIEF to hear that Stars is still

for fags.

Seven autumns ago, “Stars is for fags” was emblazoned in pale-purple letters on a unisex American Apparel tee. It would become an iconic tour T-shirt, but more than that, it was a statement about “reclaiming weakness,” says Torquil Campell, the Montreal synth-pop band’s co-lead singer and songwriter. “When people try to diminish you and take your power away, they’ll use any word they think is going to do that. And for me, having pride in my vulnerability is a very empowering thing. If you’re the kind of person who’s been ostracized, who’s been bullied, left out, called a fag because of something inside of you that actually is an expression of beauty, of uniqueness and otherness, we’re a band for you.”

Stars is 15 years, eight albums and six EPs — including this September’s threetrack Lost & Found — into its career as ringleader for the “weak” and “soft” kids on the dance floor, who may now be approaching middle age, but still embrace that forever-teen dedication to feeling all the feels.

Stars emerged from that early-2000s Canadian scene with Arts & Crafts labelmates Broken Social Scene and Feist. It was an era when it seemed like all good music came from the north. Stars’ gold-selling breakthrough Set Yourself on Fire was released around same time as Arcade Fire’s Funeral and Metric’s Live It Out. Metric’s Emily Haines, a close friend of the band, even lent her vocals to a few of Stars’ early

tracks, before Amy Millan became a Stars fixture — “the other half of me,” as Campbell explains, “the most beautiful singer I’ve ever heard.” The first time Millan sang with Stars, in a school gym where the keyboardist’s mother taught, Campbell says, “I fell to my knees and begged her to be in the band. It was instantaneous. I knew we had a connection I was never going to find in someone else.”

STARS

WITH GEOGRAPHER 9 p.m. Fri., Oct. 9. Mr. Small’s Theatre.

400 Lincoln Ave., Millvale. $20-22.

412-821-4447 or www.mrsmalls.com

It’s this he-said/she-said push-andpull that works so well for Stars. There is no one voice, no one truth in life or in love.

Stars songs reflect that — the plurality of perspectives. The ebb and flow of loneliness and hope, of wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve, and being completely unapologetic about the power of vulnerability. “Put your hands up, ’cause everybody dies,” Campbell crooned on last year’s “No One Is Lost” — the perfect refrain for those who grew up on Morrissey and My So-Called Life, and just can’t seem to nail down that elusive, detached “cool,” no matter how many rock ’n’ roll shows we attend or even perform.

“The world doesn’t want you to be weak, the world doesn’t want you to be soft,” says Campbell. “And a lot of why I’m in a band is to beat those motherfuckers. …

I have this crew of people I’ve found who see the world the same way I see it, and it continues to be a visceral thrill of having found my gang, and not feeling alone in it anymore.”

[INDIE ROCK] + SUN., OCT. 11

There has been a recent revival of old-time music, including early 20th-century folk, country and blues, albeit updated for a modern audience. Pushin’ Against a Stone, the debut album by Tennessee soulstress Valerie June, was produced in part by Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach, who is himself guilty of perpetuating this trend of vintage revival music. Rather than rehashing electric blues, however, Miss June — whom you can see tonight at the Carnegie Lecture Hall with special guest Anthony D’Amato — looks for inspiration in the field recordings of Alan Lomax and countryBirdcloud blues guitarists like Mississippi John Hurt and Elizabeth Cotten.

Andrew Woehrel 7:30 p.m. 4400 Forbes Ave., Oakland. $49 ($23 with full-time student ID). 412-361-1915 or www.calliopehouse.org

American fuzzed-out indie pop hit its populist peak 20 years ago, back in the halcyon days of the ‘90s, when you could still wear thrift-store flannels, play a Fender Jazzmaster through a bunch of pedals, sing like you really didn’t give a shit, and still make lots of money and get your songs played on the radio. Stuff like that is passé in mainstream America today, but in Norway, the self-proclaimed “slacker rock” band Level & Tyson are popular enough to be touring the U.S. The five-piece is playing at Howlers tonight with locals Thousandzz of Beez, Spooky Mulder and Mantiques. AW 7:30 p.m. 4509 Liberty Ave., Bloomfield. $5-10.

[SOUL] + SAT., OCT. 10 As part of Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s Soul Sessions Series, English singer/songwriter Marsha Ambrosius will be performing tonight at the August Wilson Center. Ambrosius’ career trajectory has led her from humble beginnings in northern England, and open-mic poetry slams in Philadelphia during the ‘90s, to international success in the past decade as part of the hip-hop duo Floetry, and an impressive solo performance/songwriting/ production career today. Her résumé includes collaborations with Alicia Keys, Kanye West and Busta Rhymes. AW 8 p.m. 980 Liberty Ave., Downtown. $45-55. 412-456-6666 or www.trustarts.org

The words “outlaw country” bring to mind the Waylon Jennings and the David Allan Coes of the world. With a deceptively indiesounding name like Birdcloud, you might not expect that this duo of dirty Southern belles — playing tonight at the Thunderbird Café — makes those old men look absolutely prudish in comparison.

Birdcloud’s foulmouthed lyrics are so filthy, one might compare them to GG Allin, or maybe even 2 Live Crew. Makenzie Green and Jasmin Kaset’s music videos were pulled from YouTube for being too obscene, but you can still always view them on the band’s website. The duo will be supported by Arkansas’ Mountain Sprout and Nashville Pussy guitarist Blaine Cartwright. AW 8 p.m.

BENEATH THE WIDE GRIN, TAB HUNTER CLO SUFFERED AS A CLOSETED GAY MAN

ON THE BORDER

{BY AL HOFF}}

FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) joins a task force that is chasing a major Mexican drug-cartel leader. From the outset, the bythe-book Macer is troubled by the group’s fuzzy mission, and the two cavalier men who control it: Graver (Josh Brolin), who claims to be from Defense, and Alejandro (Benecio Del Toro), a Colombian. But Macer wants a win in this never-ending drug war, so she goes along, even as the mission increasingly compromises her code.

Going underground: Emily Blunt

CP APPROVED

Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario is a taut, dread-filled thriller that succeeds by hewing closely to a relatively simple story about a complex situation.

(Late in the film, there’s a detour from Macer’s perspective that’s not so smoothly integrated.) The moody vibe is helped immensely by top-notch cinematography by Roger Deakins — from nervy nightvision-scope to sweeping aerial shots over desolate deserts and crowded cities (topographies that are also characters in the greater narrative) — and an electronicmusic score by Jóhann Jóhannsson.

In Sicario, the border between the U.S. and Mexico is just a construct; the task force blithely bypasses checkpoints and the cartel tunnels beneath it. It’s a line as easily ignored as the one between right and wrong, a meaningless marker through an area where guns, drugs and off-the-books activities permeate both sides. Yet it is, in its own way, a clearly defined space: “This is a land for wolves,” Alejandro tells Macer, “and you are not a wolf.” In English, and Spanish, with subtitles.

A GAY TIME

From left: Out to Win, Tab Hunter Confidential, While You Weren’t Looking and Guidance

{BY AL HOFF}

T

HE 30TH ANNUAL Pittsburgh International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, now known as Reel Q, runs Fri., Oct. 9, through Oct. 17. It features 16 narrative and documentary films, three programs of shorts and opening- and closing-night parties.

The opening-night film is Out to Win (7 p.m. Fri., Oct. 9), Malcolm Ingram’s new inspirational documentary which examines the au courant topic of how, when and i should professional athletes come out as s gay. g Interviewees include trailblazers such as a NFL star David Kopay and tennis champs Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova, B as a well as contemporary athletes such as the t WBNA’s Brittney Griner and the NBA’s Jason Collins. Homophobia is still a major J factor in sports, but change is happening. f Ingram will lead a Q&A after the screening.

I Things are complicated in Catherine Stewart’s lively and provocative While You S Weren’t Looking (5 p.m. Sun., Oct. 11), a W South African drama that raises issues of S sexuality, gender, race and class. A middles

aged, well-to-do, mixed-race lesbian couple hit a bump in their relationship, just as their 18-year-old daughter gets flirty with a gender-fluid girl from the poorer township.

REEL Q All films screen at the Harris Theater, Downtown.

Single tickets are $9. Opening night is $15 and includes a party at Bricolage.

Closing night is $15 for film and dancing at the Arthur Murray studio.

Passes and student discounts are also available.

See www.reelQ.org for complete schedule and more information.

In the 1950s, blond and buff movie star Tab Hunter was the ideal young man, every girl’s dreamboat date. But beneath the wide grin, Hunter suffered as a closeted gay man, “rewarded for pretending to be someone [I’m] not.” Hunter recounts his life, a mixture of success and regret, in Jeffrey Shwarz’s doc Tab Hunter Confidential (7:30 p.m. Mon., Oct. 12). Ironically, Hunter

survived being semi-outed (Confidential mag revealed his attendance at a “limpwristed pajama party”), but lost career traction in the late 1960s, when actors became less clean-cut.

Former child actor Pat Mills writes, directs and stars in the irreverent Canadian comedy Guidance (9 p.m. Fri., Oct. 16), about a washed-up child star and deeply closeted gay man who pretends to be a high school guidance counselor. Sure, the kids enjoy partying with him, but it’s a subterfuge guaranteed to unravel quite spectacularly and hilariously.

Also screening during the festival: Margarita With a Straw, in which two women surmount cultural differences and physical disabilities; Caspar Andreas’ latest, Kiss Me, Kill Me; Baby Steps, in which two men take in a baby; Liz in September, a Venezuelan ensemble drama about a group of vacationing lesbians; and, for closing night, the director’s cut of 54, Mark Christopher’s 1998 drama set in the infamous New York City nightclub.

in Max Max: Fury Road.

From this point, there’s a basic plot about Peter’s self-discovery and helping the “good people” of Neverland — i.e. fairies dressed up like Persian rugs — defeat the baddie Blackbeard. There are a lot of crazy costumes and extravagant CGI sets, but the basic story never rises to a compelling level. It concludes with plenty of room left for sequels, but I hope this is the last we see of this noisy, nutty Pan spin-off. (AH)

FILM CAPSULES CP

= CITY PAPER APPROVED

NEW THIS WEEK HE NAMED ME MALALA. Malala Yousafzai is certainly a remarkable individual, and Davis Guggenheim’s documentary profile does a fine job explaining the events that catapulted the Pakistani teenager to the world stage. In defiance of Taliban orders, Malala attended school in her Swat valley town and spoke out about girls’ right to be educated. In 2012, she was shot in the head on her way to school, narrowly escaping death. She and her family moved to England, and after her recovery, Malala split her days between being a schoolgirl and traveling the world promoting girls’ education.

Guggenheim tells the story in rather scattershot fashion, jumping around in time, and using animated sequences to create past events, including background on Malala’s parents. (Her father was a schoolteacher, while her mother was uneducated.) And he spends a good bit of time with Malala, who is lively, articulate and occasionally girlish. But mostly — and this is not a criticism of Malala — the teenager comes across as “on message,” conscious

In My Father’s House experienced, and when she demurs, one can hardly blame her.

The film is a fine introduction to a singular young woman, and an adequate primer on the larger issue of denying education to girls, though more context and other voices would have helped flesh this critical issue out. It is as Malala says when accepting her Nobel Peace Prize: “This is not the story of a single girl, but of many girls.” Starts Fri., Oct. 9. Manor (Al Hoff) IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE. Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg’s documentary opens with statistics about how many African-American kids grow up in fatherless homes, and suggests a correlation with later troubles in life. What unfolds next is an engaging, warts-and-all account of one fatherless boy, who later in life undertakes to understand the issue from the inside out.

Chicago-based rapper and award-wining songwriter Che “Rhymefest” Smith grew up without a dad and, before finding success with music, led a troubled life. Now a father himself and settled down (he recently bought the house his father grew up in), Smith seeks out his father, Brian, whom he hasn’t seen in 20 years; he is hoping for answers and, perhaps, closure. Brian is indeed nearby: an alcoholic living on the street, but an amiable fellow eager to reconnect with his son.

What follows is the messy process of trying to reconcile decades of family dysfunction, the toll of addiction and an assortment of poor decisions, as each man struggles to define (or redefine) the roles of father and son. There are victories and failures, and both Smiths deserve kudos for letting

viewers into the challenging process. Family is paramount, but making it work and breaking destructive cycles isn’t nearly as easy as those feel-good TV movies suggest it can be. Starts Fri., Oct. 9. AMC Waterfront (AH) 99 HOMES. After being evicted, a man schemes to get back to his home. Michael Shannon and Andrew Garfield star in Ramin Bahrani’s drama. Starts Fri., Oct. 9.

REPERTORY

CP

He Named Me Malala of her public mission and circumspect in her responses. It’s admirable for an advocacy film, which this is in part, but it does create some distance for the viewers, particularly those used to more emotionally intimate portraits. At one point Guggenheim challenges Malala on her refusal to talk about whatever “pain” she has

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 10.07/10.14.2015

THE WALK. Robert Zemeckis’ film recounts dramatic events in 1974, when French high-wire artist Philippe Petit walked between the two World Trade Center towers (also the subject of the 2008 documentary Man on Wire). Most viewers will find at least one part of this bifurcated film tough to sit through. For me, I couldn’t stand the cutesy buildup to the walk, with the bewigged, French-accented Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) explaining everything: It’s as hokey as a 90-minute, 1970s TV ad for supermarket French bread.

But once Petit gets to the exquisitely re-created World Trade Center and sets up his high wire, the film is transporting. See this in IMAX 3-D and you too will perch on a wire 110 stories in the air, while the camera spins around — look the Hudson River!

— and down. Now, those who fear heights or have vertigo will be miserable. It’s an impressive feat of CGI, faithfully re-staging Petit’s walk, which, in 1974, was captured by only a few still shots and, of course, can now never be duplicated in real life. And if the film’s worst scenes are the opening, with Petit CGIed onto Lady Liberty’s torch, Zemeckis at least knows to conclude with a more sober hat-tip to Petit’s costars in his feat — the digitally recreated, sunset-lit Twin Towers fading into the night. In IMAX 3-D, in select theaters (AH)

SCREAM. Wes Craven’s 1996 horror film had its tongue firmly in cheek, riffing on the conventions of slasher films, while still sticking knives in the backs of its unsuspecting teen victims. 7:30 p.m. Wed., Oct. 7.

AMC Waterfront. $5 ROMEO + JULIET. Shakespeare’s classic teen-age love tragedy gets a zippy update in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 version. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes star as the doomed couple. Oct. 9-15. Row House MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Shakespeare’s comedy gets a contemporary re-telling in Josh Whedon’s 2012 film. Oct. 9-11 and Oct. 14-15. Row House ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDERSTERN ARE DEAD. Gary Oldman and Tim Roth star in this 1990 adaptation of the Tom Stoppard play, featuring two minor characters from Hamlet. Oct. 9-13. Row House

Pan PAN. If there are such people as Peter Pan purists, they might want to give Joe Wright’s new adventure a miss. It features some notable deviations from the J.M. Barrie canon, including a significant jump ahead in era and the introduction of a two-handed character named Hook, who will later be known for … um … having a hook for a hand (convenient!). Oh, and the Ramones music.

The tale, ostensibly a backstory for Peter Pan, begins during the London Blitz. There, young Peter (Levi Miller) is living in a Catholic orphanage that has some sort of deal going where the nuns let the children be kidnapped at night by pirates. Pirates who fly in on a sailing ship, dodging both British and German war planes.

Peter ends up in Neverland, which is a grim mining colony run by the fearsome (and fiercely madeup) head pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman, playing to the cheap seats). Blackbeard’s rousing introduction, to the crowd chanting the Nirvana drugs-andennui classic “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” bears an uncanny resemblance to the opening “number”

HOPPER STORIES. Eight directors, including Mathieu Amalric and Sophie Barthes, created short fictional tales inspired by the artwork of Edward Hopper. Screens in conjunction with the Carnegie Museum of Art’s current Hopper exhibit. 2 and 8 p.m. Sat., Oct. 10. Carnegie Museum of Art, Oakland. $10-15. www.cmoa.org HAUNTED OAKS FILM FESTIVAL. A selection of locally produced horror shorts will screen, with prizes awarded afterward. 7:30 p.m. (doors at 6:30 p.m.)

Sat., Oct. 10. Oaks, Oakmont. $7-10 THE THING. A bunch of feckless pot-smokers holed up in some Antarctic “research” facility are visited by a bad alien. John Carpenter’s 1982 remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic lacks much of the earlier film’s subtlety; here, gross-out effects mute any horror.

This Thing is like a multi-headed demented slug. The scenes where the men — unsure which of them has morphed into the Thing — freak out on each other are better. Midnight, Sat., Oct. 10. Manor (AH) DELIVERANCE. John Boorman’s 1972 backwoods thriller has been much mocked over the years, but

despite the banjo jokes, this remains a disturbing film about privilege and power — and how easy it is to lose it. Also: worst canoe trip ever. Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight star. The film continues a monthlong, Sunday-night series of films about rivers. 8 p.m.

Sun., Oct. 11. Regent Square FILM KITCHEN. A Halloween-themed installment of this monthly series for local and independent artists includes six shorts by Scott N. Andrew. A highlight is “Neráides: Fall of the Subterranean Hive,” Andrew’s entertaining if dialogueless 2011 fantasy whose campiness, theatricality and overtones of fable echo Kenneth Anger and Jack Smith: The hero, naked except for glitter paint, and his leashed sex thrall traverse a woodland and contend with an evil ice queen — and her minions, flying phalluses. “Bird of Paradise” similarly highlights Andrew’s flair for fantastical costumes and makeup and hypnotic original music, while “Feeling Good” is a more straightforward drag vamp to Nina Simone. Also at the Oct. 13 screening, curated by Matthew Day, are two shorts

by John Cantine: “Aftermath,” a low-key, well-acted drama about a young woman contending with the fallout of a wild party, and the eight-minute pilot of a planned web series titled Reference Point, a workplace comedy set in a weird little library. Also screening is a new Halloween-appropriate short by Pat Francart. 8 p.m. Tue., Oct. 13 (7 p.m. reception).

Melwood Screening Room, 477 Melwood Ave., Oakland. $5. 412-681-5449

Films by Scott N. Andrew at Film Kitchen, Oct. 13 MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Join King Arthur and the Knights of Camelot on their fruitless but hilarious search for the Holy Grail in Monty Python’s 1974 cult hit. (Pythons Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones co-direct.) The endlessly quotable Grail remains the Python gang’s funniest feature.

7 p.m. Wed., Oct. 14. Row House FRIDAY THE 13th. A group of teenagers working to re-open a rundown lake camp are killed off one by one. Sean S. Cunningham’s 1980 horror flick launched a zillion sequels. 7:30 p.m. Wed., Oct. 14.

AMC Waterfront. $5 NORMA RAE. Martin Ritt’s 1979 drama is the sentimental story of the tough gal (portrayed by Sally Field) who takes on the evil textile mill in her grim Southern town and wins union representation for the mill workers. The screening concludes a monthly series of films about labor and social justice presented by the Battle of Homestead Foundation. 7:30 p.m. Thu., Oct. 15. Pump House, 880 E. Waterfront Drive, Munhall. Free. www.battleof homesteadfoundation.org HEART LIKE A HAND GRENADE. John Roecker directs this new doc that looks at pop-punk band Green Day during the recording of American Idiot.

The pope’s recent three-city U.S. tour shut down roads and businesses at each stop, including The Philadelphia Dance Company. Philadanco, as the company is known, is the home of another figure who, while not as famous as the pontiff, is considered a living legend of dance.

Joan Myers Brown, Philadanco’s founder and artistic director, has been a force on the dance scene for decades. Now celebrating its 45th anniversary season, the globe-trotting modern-dance company is one of the most popular touring troupes in the U.S. For Brown, that success has translated into both notoriety and lots of accolades, including honorary doctorates, the prestigious Philadelphia Award (2009) and, in 2012, The National Medal of Arts.

Speaking by phone from Philadelphia, Brown joked that she once told a staff member that if anybody called wanting to give her another award, to tell them she was out of town: “Unless there is a check attached, I don’t need another thing on the wall.”

In truth, Brown is very appreciative of the honors, but says she doesn’t let them go to her head. Her main concerns are keeping her three dance companies and two schools (under the Philadanco umbrella) going and her dancers employed.

The company, a frequent visitor to Pittsburgh, was part of the August Wilson Center’s debut season, in 2009. On Oct. 9, Philadanco returns to help open the retooled center.

The program includes four works, beginning with choreographer Christopher Huggins’ “Latched.” The fast-paced 2014 piece is about attaching to another body, and the desire for detachment combating the allure of remaining latched.

“Hand Singing Songs” (1998), by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, of the Urban Bush Women, explores hand gestures as a form of communication. Things get serious with former Philadanco dancer Dawn Bazemore’s “A Movement for Five” (2015), inspired by the 1989 case of five juvenile males (The Central Park Five) wrongly imprisoned for raping a white female jogger in Central Park. “It’s really deep and speaks to current times,” says Brown.

Rounding out the program is Huggins’ relentless “Enemy Behind the Gates” (2001). A signature work of Philadanco, “Enemy” is a tour-de-force of heartpounding action, aggressive movement and dancer virtuosity, all set to a driving score by Steve Reich.

“

EST DRUMMER in the world?” John

Lennon supposedly replied with incredulity to a question about Ringo Starr. “He’s not even the best drummer in The Beatles.”

You could have a similar exchange over Downtown’s Tower at PNC Plaza, which officially opened last Thursday. Is it the greenest building in the world, as its advocates regularly suggest? Or not even the greenest building in Pittsburgh?

Unlike other structures, where green design is an afterthought, PNC Tower was designed from a blank slate to emphasize sustainable objectives, and its design team is internationally reputed — Gensler Architects, Buro Happold Engineering and Paladino Environmental Consultants.

The building’s distinctive shape takes singular advantage of sun and wind in Pittsburgh to jump-start its high-performance passive heating and cooling systems. “It couldn’t be [located] anywhere else,” says principal design architect Hao Ko. The building’s double curtain wall, with its automatic windows, is also key in circulating fresh air and insulating occupants from extremes of temperature — a sophisticated advance on the rudimentary question of operable windows.

The literal crowning feature is a solar chimney, an ancient idea brought to genuinely unprecedented size and precision, through which air heated only by the sun at the building’s top works to draw fresher currents along the structure’s height without energy-intensive pumps or fans.

Combined with features such as a

black-water sewage treatment and a building-wide recycling program, the projected achievements are impressive.

The Tower will operate using half the energy of a conventional office building, earning Platinum LEED certification and making the building a clear frontrunner in Pittsburgh’s 2030 District building-assessment program, whose members pledge to cut water and energy use by 50 percent from a baseline by 2030. “I have no doubt

they’ll reach a[n even larger] 60 percent reduction goal,” says Aurora Sharrard, a civil engineer with the Green Building Alliance, whose work will ensure that PNC Tower’s energy-use figures will be publically available.

And yet, one day after the PNC opening, here comes a media event at the Frick Environmental Center. Still under construction, it aims to be Pittsburgh’s second building to meet the Living Building Challenge, under

“Read, read, read”: Gerald Stern

which a structure doesn’t merely reduce water and energy usage, but actually zeros them out on a net basis. “It’s going to be very difficult,” says Frick Center education director Marijke Hecht, “but we think we can do it.” (The Phipps Conservatory’s Center for Sustainable Landscapes recently made headlines unequivocally as the world’s first building to reach this rigorous standard).

Like the Phipps building, the Frick Center is located in a park-based site, where it can spread out photovoltaics and dig geothermal wells for an additional energy boost with room to spare. And at 15,000 square feet, it is less than 1/50th the size of PNC’s Tower, whose energy savings, even at only 50 percent, are roughly the equivalent of 26 Frick Environmental Centers. Accordingly, asked about the differences, Sharrard cautions that buildings so distinct in scale, site and function are really an apples-tooranges comparison.

Skyscrapers, after all, have efficiencies of scale that smaller buildings don’t, especially when proximate housing and public transportation are factored in. PNC does and should boast about energy savings and increased employee productivity.

But it hardly makes sense to call flexible lounge and work spaces “neighborhoods,” as PNC Tower does, when they are closed to unaccompanied outsiders. And you shouldn’t really call yourself a Main Street Bank, as CEO William Demchak did, if you are going to tear down a street full of traditional merchant spaces to build a monolithic glass atrium in their place — a demonstrably unsustainable practice. Indeed, it’s odd to call this building “the Tower at PNC Plaza,” when its street-level plaza is probably the project’s least-considered element.

The indoor space on the building’s 26th floor is pretty spectacular, but it’s open only to employees and their guests, who are encouraged to stay and look at Market Square rather than going there. Running counter to broader sustainable practices, the building privatizes and deactivates the city.

In the ambition and performance of its passive systems and high-tech controls, PNC’s tower seems indeed be the best of its kind. “I think it’s worthy of being considered,” says Marc Mondor, architect and principal of the Pittsburgh-based sustainable-design firm evolveEA. Given the outstanding design team, it’s not so surprising that outside experts agree with many of PNC’s claims of excellence.

But “bests” are far better for funny anecdotes than for serious discussions of sustainability, which are more multifarious.

Better to be as good as possible, which PNC Tower often is, and to do so in terms that are clearly and openly discussed, which it is frequently not.

Talking to Gerald Stern is like talking to your favorite teacher from high school. He is opinionated, passionate, humorous and exceedingly gracious. He is also a storyteller, and in the 75 minutes of our scheduled 20-minute interview, I felt guilty about interjecting questions, as I did not want to interrupt the flow of his narrative.

Pittsburgh native Stern, an internationally acclaimed poet and National Book Award-winner, visits Oct. 13 to celebrate the opening of his papers at the University of Pittsburgh, and to read at the Carnegie Lecture Hall.

Born in 1925 in the Hill District, or what he said was then called “Jew Town,” Stern speaks of his childhood not with nostalgia, but with a gruff realism, describing the anti-Semitism and violence that confronted him daily. “My father would turn the light on after I had fallen asleep to see if there was blood on my face.”

The future literary giant attended Allderdice High School, where the only advice given him, “Don’t even try to go to college. You could never pass freshman English.”

Fortunately, Stern persisted, and offers this advice to any writer: “I thought my job was to read, read, read. When I did workshops, I would say to students, ‘Your primary job is to read, and occasionally write.’”

Stern graduated from Pitt, received his master’s degree from Columbia, and then taught. Critics have called him a late bloomer — he did not receive widespread recognition until his 50s — but he bristles at this categorization. He cites the first books of several well-known poets that were “terrible,” and says, “I was always writing. I finally published, if you will, what was my third book.”

Stern’s work is often described as lyric and eclectic. “I allow myself to say anything I want to say,” he says. “As long as it deals with reality. What the philosophers are after. The thing. The thing.”

Still active at age 90, he cannot help poking fun at the current generation of students. “I was talking to a young woman.

She said, ‘I wrote a poem this summer.’

My God, I’ve written 20 poems! I write every day. It’s my greatest pleasure.”

Stern, a New Jersey resident, is working on a new book. He sounds as excited as someone about to publish, finally, his first.

[PLAY REVIEWS]

FRANK WORDS {BY ALAN W. PETRUCELLI}

PITTSBURGH PUBLIC Theater’s production

of The Diary of Anne Frank is top-notch.

Every performer has captured the nuances and subtleties of all the characters in this 1955 play about one girl’s experience of the Holocaust. Remy Zaken, beguiling and luminous, gives a noble performance as Anne: extroverted and curious one moment, then, by Act II, self-questioning about her stirring sexuality and fearful of the dark shadows that loom.

The show’s core is the nurturing relationship between daughter and father; as Otto Frank, Randy Kovitz is riveting, giving a performance of heartfelt tenderness. Pamela Berlin’s direction fills every movement with significance; she’s smart enough not to stand in the way of the players or, more importantly, the power and potency of Anne’s words.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK

continues through Oct. 25. Pittsburgh Public Theater, 621 Penn Ave., Downtown. $30-70.

412-316-1600 or www.ppt.org

The play, mostly based on what was written in the diary Anne’s father gave her for her 13th birthday, never fails to stir the soul. Her first entry: “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.”

People often think that Anne and her family, as well as the van Pels family and a dentist friend, hid from the Nazis in an attic.

The actual “secret annex” was a three-story space above Otto’s business in Amsterdam; the topmost level was the attic, access to it covered by a bookcase to ensure it remained undiscovered. Michael Schweikardt has done a fine job recreating the space.

When the family was betrayed, and arrested by the Gestapo, they were sent to different concentration camps. Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred to Bergen-Belsen, where they died of typhus in February 1945, weeks before the camp was liberated. Otto Frank was the only family member to survive.

Yet Anne lives on in every production of her diary, with help from Otto’s musings, all solidified by playwrights Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett.

One of Anne’s quotes sums up life in 11 words: “Despite everything, I believe

that people are really good at heart.”

Over the decades, our loss has become our gain.

NSangou Njikam’s I.D. premiered, in July, at South Africa’s Grahamstown National Arts Festival. The play confronts and exposes questions of worldly identity that transcend boundaries.

looks at other people and the world at large.)

Nonetheless, the play has humor.

How can a work about how people form their identities not? The issue surrounds us, and Njikam prods at that, with the underlying question of “Why?” Malena Ramirez’s character is repeatedly asked, “Are you Brazilian?” To which she snaps, “No, I’m offended.”

The cast are clearly skilled in stage work, and the production is more than a university project. Across a minimalist set, the actors bounce off each other through physicality, dance and MCing. It’s fast, breaks down the forth wall, and the audience can’t help but watch it.

New Horizon is the perfect vehicle for this U.S. premiere. The company specializes in African-American culture and the question of identity, socially and historically. Such issues are relevant for an historic melting-pot like Pittsburgh, and they’re issues that this performance’s audience were very enthusiastic to see dealt with. Such discussions have formed a media narrative recently, but few conversations are as personal and engaging as the one I.D. generates.

Of course, the idea that we’re all the same is difficult for some to accept. (One need only scan a newspaper.) So this play — a series of linked vignettes informed by hip-hop culture — features some fairly harrowing moments involving race and our image-based assumptions. Aaron Densley plays Undercover Michael, a police officer blinded by racism to those he refers to as “prison-fillers” — Hispanics and AfricanAmericans — yet who must come to terms with learning that he has Sub-Saharan Africa in his DNA.

BAY WATCH {BY TED HOOVER}

THERE’S SOMETHING to be said for James

Dean’s line “Live fast, die young and leave a good-lookin’ corpse” — especially when you consider the alternative, which Philadelphia-based playwright Bruce Graham does in his moving drama The Outgoing Tide, receiving its Pittsburgh premiere at Apple Hill Playhouse.

Ol’ married couple Peg and Gunner live on the shores of the Chesapeake. In the opening scene, Gunner is introducing himself and the neighborhood to a stranger, who, it seems, might be moving in nearby.

Gunner wants Jack to know what’s what.

Except that Gunner doesn’t know himself. As we learn, Jack is actually Gunner’s son, and he’s been called home because Gunner’s advancing dementia is advancing even quicker. In this sparsely written threehander, Peg and Jack struggle to address Gunner’s future, and Gunner, in moments of lucidity, is heartbreakingly aware of his encroaching oblivion.

The Outgoing Tide packs such a punch because almost everyone will be, at some point, either Peg and Jack or Gunner. Some of us might even end up being all three. Graham’s 2014 play forces to us confront the morality of modern medicine: Is sustaining a life its own justification, or does quality of life matter more?

Director Thom McLaughlin has assembled Apple Hill’s A-Team. Chip Kerr and Pat Beyer are Gunner and Peg, with Rick Dutrow playing Jack. All four throw themselves into the material, filling Graham’s story with huge humanity and leaving a palpable ache by evening’s end.

THE OUTGOING TIDE

continues through Sat., Oct. 10. Apple Hill Playhouse, 275 Manor Road, Delmont. $15-40.

724-468-5050 or www.applehillplayhouse.org

I saw the production on opening night, and I should say there was a repeated tangle with the lines, rendering some of the drama more tentative than it should have been. And McLaughlin’s blocking still feels a bit jerky. But I have a feeling all of that will find its way by the time you see it. And, really, you should: This play (with its inescapable sorrow) is a huge gamble for a summer theater company, and I salute Apple Hill for taking such an audacious artistic risk.

SALES FORCE {BY BILL O’DRISCOLL}

WHILE DEATH of a Salesman is a canonical

play, I had always thought of Willy Loman as a contemporary tragic type. At the Duquesne University Red Masquers’ new production, it struck me for the first time that Willy — who’s age 63 during the play’s present action, set in 1949 — was born around 1886, and would have launched his sales career before Ford rolled out its first Model T. That fact highlights not only the play’s timelessness, but also playwright Arthur Miller’s deft way with America’s peculiar myths and obsessions. Within a single Brooklyn family and its memories, he crashes the frontier mythos of rugged individualism into the mid-century tracthome lifestyle, and nestles the conflict in a father-son psychological struggle that’s as intellectually absorbing as it is emotionally wrenching.

Director John E. Lane’s production (his 100th for the Red Masquers) inaugurates the university’s Genesius Theater, whose sleek black box is a welcome addition to the city’s stage scene. Though in truth, Salesman is such a powerful play, and Lane’s direction of it so thoughtful and uncluttered, that this production would work in an Arby’s.

Veteran actor Mark Yochum (by day a Duquesne law prof) plays Willy, the

washed-up traveling salesman who’s losing his grasp on reality and his will to live.

Haunted by the past, he has seen Eliot’s eternal Footman hold his coat and snicker and, in short, though Willy is as fearful as Prufock, he’s also furious. Yochum elicits Willy’s bitterest edge, employing a nasal vocal register which rightly helps prevent Willy from becoming too sympathetic for us to see him clearly.

Meet. Eat. Repeat.

DEATH OF A SALESMAN continues through Oct. 18. Red Masquers at the Genesius Theater, Duquesne campus, Uptown. $5-15. www.duqredmasquers.com

Curt Wootton (best known as YouTube’s “Pittsburgh Dad”) capably portrays depressed and aimless eldest son, Biff, with Nathaniel Yost as Happy. Standing out is Nancy Bach Love as Willy’s loyal and longsuffering wife, Linda. At junctures Love is as crucial to the play as Linda is to Willy himself; her “a small man can be as exhausted as a great man” monologue should wring you dry.

“You gotta break your neck to see the stars in this yard,” says Willy, poignantly.

By contrast, the Red Masquers’ Salesman stands before us plain as day.

+ SAT., OCT. 10 {ART} Everyone knows that Andy Warhol’s work extended well beyond the canvas, to film, TV and more. But for a rundown of his efforts in books, look no further than Warhol by the Book.

This new exhibit at The Andy Warhol Museum, curated by Warhol archivist Matt Wrbican, is the first U.S. exhibition to focus on Warhol’s book work. The show, opening today, promises “a nearly complete overview of Warhol’s work on books,” with more than 400 objects associated with more than 80 book titles finished and unfinished, from student work into the 1980s. Warhol even did a cookbook (1959’s Wild Raspberries) and Andy Warhol’s Index (Book), a 1967 publication that included “sound recordings, balloons, fold-outs, holograms, pop-ups and even a do-it-yourself nose job.” BO 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

sp otlight Newcomers are often surprised to learn that Larimer’s TechShop offers blacksmithing, says general manager Matt Verlinich; “I thought this was a computer place,” they’ll say. Well, it’s that, too. But TechShop, a locus of the maker movement in Pittsburgh, is designed to help you fabricate everything from 3-D-printed key fobs to a wall hook hand-hammered from steel. TechShop’s range also echoes the scope of exhibitors at Pittsburgh’s first-ever full-fledged Maker Faire. The weekend-long festival (part of the global Maker Faire phenomenon) takes place in and near the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. The museum had previously produced three annual mini-Maker Faires but skipped last year to prepare to leap from 80 exhibitors to 200, and to 5,000 or more attendees, all into creativity and invention. In spaces including Nova Place Plaza (formerly Allegheny Center) and the old Carnegie library, look for everything from craft vendors to a robotic petting zoo, and talks, demos and hands-on activities ranging from screenprinting, traditional Japanese painting and origami to battle bots and electric vehicles. For its part, TechShop will offer demos involving 3-D-scanning software and a dinosaur sculpture; a “face-off” for makeup and mask-sculpting; and, yes, blacksmithing. The latter is “something that’s very much in the maker DNA,” says Verlinich. “People really love to do that.” Bill O’Driscoll 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

{COMEDY}

Fineview is minutes from Downtown, but you don’t hear about many arts events there. The folks at Heathside Cottage want to change that. Today, the owner of this National Historic Landmark and private home holds A Victorian Celebration and Remembrance of the Autumn. This open house includes high tea, children’s activities, storytelling, a piano recital, and English country dancing, with music by the Magical Elixir Show.

Owner Gregory Manley’s idea is to use Heathside as a cultural events center (and not just for Victoriana).

EVERYONE IS A CRITIC EVENT: NPR’s “Ask Me Another” podcast, Byham Theater, Downtown CRITIC: Mike Beckman, a business analyst from Carnegie WHEN: Tue.,

Sept. 29 My friend Kathy Zhao used to work for NPR and “Ask Me Another,” so she got me tickets. I’ve been a longtime listener, but I’ve never seen it in person. It was a different experience getting to see them in person and see them laugh and do the “pick up” after the show. It really rounds out my experience with the podcast. Tonight was a lot of fun. [There were] some interesting contestants and some off-the-wall games. It was a lot fun to hear people get to know each other and answer some interesting questions.

When Ophira [Eisenberg] asked a question, there were a couple of seconds before a contestant answered, and one of the audience members yelled, “Just say it!,” and that became a running joke throughout the show. [The audience was] kind of quirky, kind of fun. It was a lot of nerdy people just enjoying trivia.

Savage Love {BY DAN SAVAGE}

blogh.pghcitypaper.com

Every time you click “reload,” the saints cry.

I’m a gay man who is ready to start cheating on my boyfriend. We’ve had a wonderful 3.5-year-long relationship full of respect, affection, support and fun. I love everything about our relationship, and our sex life was great… until he moved in, eight months into the relationship. At that point, he lost all interest. I’ve tried everything: asking what I can do differently, being more aggressive, being more passive, suggesting couples therapy, getting angry, crying, and breaking up twice. (Both breakups lasted only a few hours because I honestly don’t want to leave him.) When I bring up an open relationship, he just goes quiet. I’ve moved past most of the anger, frustration, hurt, embarrassment and sadness. But I won’t accept a life of celibacy. I would like to get some discreet play on the side. My boyfriend is very perceptive, and I’m a bad liar. I don’t want to get caught — but how should the conversation go if (when) I do? I’m leaning toward something like this: “I’m sorry it came to this and I know we agreed on monogamy, and I gave you monogamy for 3.5 years, but part of agreeing to monogamy is the implicit promise to meet your partner’s sexual needs. Everything else about our relationship is wonderful, but we couldn’t fix this one thing, so instead of continuing to push the issue, this is what I decided to do.”

Good enough?

CAN’T HELP EXPLORING ANOTHER TUSH

My first impulse was to tell you to mind your own business — or MYOB, as the late, great Ann Landers used to say (Google her, kids) — because you don’t actually know whether your friend is taking foolish risks. He could be using condoms, taking Truvada, and carefully vetting his play partners. But if I spotted a friend’s dick on Craigslist in an ad that left me the least bit concerned for his safety, I would say something.

I don’t mind coming off as “mommy” (meddling mommy impulses are a requirement for this gig), and if looking out for your friends is “creepy,” then I’m a creep.

I’m a gay man in my late 20s, and I can’t get fucked. I have tried to train my ass, but the largest thing I can place inside remains a small butt plug. If I try anything bigger, the pain is unbearable. I’ve always been a very anxious person, and it’s clear my anxiety goes right to that area. Sometimes, after trying to place something larger inside me (using tons of lube, of course), I will get a hemorrhoid. Since those are horrible to deal with, I think my mind has started to associate any type of anal play with getting hemorrhoids. The problem is that I feel like I’m a bottom. Yes, I will top guys, and I don’t mind it, but I find that the men to whom I’m most attracted want to fuck me, which is something I would like.

I’m at my wit’s end because I feel like my relationships/hookups/FWB situations are all negatively affected by my inability to get fucked.

BREATHE DEEPLY, TAKE IT SLOW, AND PLAY WITH YOUR COCK TOO.

The speech you’re planning to give after you get caught is lovely, CHEAT, but you should give it before you get caught.

Tell your boyfriend you love him — you would have to, considering what you’ve put up with for nearly three years — and that you have no desire to leave him. But while your relationship is wonderful in many ways, it’s not sexual in any way. And while you’re willing to settle for a companionate relationship, you’re not willing to settle for a sexless existence.

Rather than being threatened by your occasional, discreet and safe sexual adventures, CHEAT, your boyfriend should be grateful for them. Because those sexual adventures, and your boyfriend’s acceptance of them, will make it possible for you to stay together.

I’m a woman in a hetero marriage. My husband and I enjoy skimming the Craigslist “casual encounters” section. It’s like people-watching, but NSFW. We recently stumbled on an ad posted by a male friend. The ad was soliciting gay mutual BJ/ HJ, with the stipulation that the first one to come (the loser?) gets fucked in the ass by the other (the winner?). Other than the concept of winners and losers during sex, I’ve got no issues. The thing that gnaws at my conscience is this: Our friend is a young guy, bi-curious and impulsive. Once I got over the giggles of glimpsing a dick pic that was not intended for my eyes, I began to worry about our friend’s risky behavior.

Do I say something? I care about this guy, but I don’t want to come off as “mommy” or “creepy.”

DUDE’S EXTREMELY RISKY PLAN ELEVATES STRESS

DETERMINED EFFORTS FULLY ENRAGE ANAL TISSUES

“Anxiety and fear can definitely make those muscles tighten up. And unfortunately, worrying about pain during sex makes it worse,” said Charlie Glickman, sexuality educator and author of The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure (www.make sexeasy.com). “His hemorrhoids are probably caused by the anus squeezing really hard and trapping blood in the arteries inside the anus.”

So what can you do to alleviate your anxiety, fear and squeezing? “The first thing for him to do is use a salve on the skin around and inside the anus,” said Glickman. “Apply it after washing, and it doesn’t take much. It’s like putting lip balm on dry lips. Cocoa butter or coconut oil work well.

I also like the golden seal and myrrh formula by Country Comfort. Apply it twice a day.”

Give those balms some time to work before you start exploring again. And once you start: breathe deeply, take it slow, and play with your cock too. “Arousal helps,” said Glickman, “so he should be sure to include cock pleasure before going near his anus. It’ll also help if he explores external anal massage without going inside.

Enjoying a few dozen — or a few hundred — orgasms with your ass in play but not the focus, i.e., your ass is being stimulated but not penetrated, DEFEAT, and you’ll begin to associate anal stimulation with pleasure and victory, not pain and hemorrhoids.

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 10.07/10.14.2015

FOR THE WEEK OF

Free Will Astrology

10.07-10.14

{BY ROB BREZSNY}

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I could give you a birthday present, it would be a map to your future treasure. Do you know which treasure I’m referring to? Think about it as you fall asleep on the next eight nights. I’m sorry I can’t simply provide you with the instructions you’d need to locate it. The cosmic powers tell me you have not yet earned that right. The second-best gift I can offer, then, will be clues about how to earn it. Clue No. 1. Meditate on the differences between what your ego wants and what your soul needs. No. 2. Ask yourself, “What is the most unripe part of me?”, and then devise a plan to ripen it. No. 3. Invite your deep mind to give you insights you haven’t been brave enough to work with until now. No. 4. Take one medium-sized bold action every day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Galway Kinnell’s poem “Middle of the Way” is about his solo trek through the snow on Oregon’s Mount Gauldy. As he wanders in the wilderness, he remembers an important truth about himself: “I love the day, the sun … But I know [that] half my life belongs to the wild darkness.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Scorpio, now is a good time for you, too, to refresh your awe and reverence for the wild darkness — and to recall that half your life belongs to it. Doing so will bring you another experience Kinnell describes: “an inexplicable sense of joy, as if some happy news had been transmitted to me directly, bypassing the brain.”

The coming days will be a favorable time to dig up what has been buried. You can, if you choose, discover hidden agendas, expose deceptions, see beneath the masks and dissolve delusions. But it’s my duty to ask you this: Is that really something you want to do? It would be fun and sexy to liberate so much trapped emotion and suppressed energy, but it could also stir up a mindbending ruckus that propels you on a healing quest. I hope you decide to go for the gusto, but I’ll understand if you prefer to play it safe.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The last time I walked into a McDonald’s and ordered a meal was 1984. Nothing that the restaurant chain serves up is appealing to my taste or morality. I do admire its adaptability, however. In cow-loving India, McDonald’s only serves vegetarian fare that includes deep-fried cheese and potato patties. In Israel, kosher McFalafels are available. Mexicans order their McMuffins with refried beans and pico de gallo. At a McDonald’s in Singapore, you can order McRice burgers. This is the type of approach I advise for you right now, Sagittarius. Adjust your offerings for your audience.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If I warned you not to trust anyone, I hope you would reject my simplistic fear-mongering. If I suggested that you trust everyone unconditionally, I hope you would dismiss my delusional naiveté. But it’s important to acknowledge that the smart approach is far more difficult than those two extremes. You’ve got to evaluate each person and even each situation on a case-by-case basis. There may be unpredictable folks who are trustworthy some of the time, but not always.

Can you be both affably open-hearted and slyly discerning? It’s especially important that you do so in the next 16 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

You have been flirting with your “alone at the top” reveries. I won’t be surprised if one night you have a dream of riding on a Ferris wheel that malfunctions, leaving you stranded at the highest point. What’s going on? Here’s what I suspect: In one sense you are zesty and farseeing. Your competence and confidence are waxing. At the same time, you may be out of touch with what’s going on at ground level.

Your connection to the depths is not as intimate as your relationship with the heights.

The moral of the story might be to get in closer contact with your roots. Or be more attentive to your support system. Or buy new shoes and underwear.

As I meditated on your astrological aspects, I had an intuition that I should go to a gem fair I’d heard about. It was at an event center near my home. When I arrived, I was dazzled to find a vast spread of minerals, fossils, gemstones and beads. Within a few minutes, two stones had commanded my attention, as if they’d reached out to me telepathically: chrysoprase, a green gemstone, and petrified wood, a mineralized fossil streaked with earth tones. The explanatory note next to the chrysoprase said that if you keep this gem close to you, it “helps make conscious what has been unconscious.” Ownership of the petrified wood was described as conferring “the power to remove obstacles.” I knew these were the exact oracles you needed.

I bought both stones, took them home and put them on an altar dedicated to your success in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

I haven’t planted a garden for years. My workload is too intense to devote enough time to that pleasure. So eight weeks ago, I was surprised when a renegade sunflower began blooming in the dirt next to my porch. How did the seed get there? Via the wind? A passing bird that dropped a potential meal? The gorgeous interloper eventually grew to a height of 4 feet and produced a boisterous yellow flower. Every day I muttered a prayer of thanks for its guerrilla blessing. I predict a comparable phenomenon for you in the coming days, Aquarius.

George R.R. Martin has written a series of fantasy novels collectively called A Song of Ice and Fire. They have sold 60 million copies and been adapted for the TV series Game of Thrones. Martin says the inspiration for his master work originated with the pet turtles he owned as a kid.

The creatures lived in a toy castle in his bedroom, and he pretended they were knights and kings and other royal characters. “I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom,” he has testified. I think the next seven months will be a

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

perfect time for you to make a comparable leap, Gemini. What’s your version of Martin’s turtles?

And what valuable asset can you turn it into?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The editors of the Urban Dictionary provide a unique definition of the word “outside.” They say it’s a vast, uncomfortable place that surrounds your home. It has no ceiling or walls or carpets, and contains annoying insects and random loud noises. There’s a big yellow ball in the sky that’s always moving around and changing the temperature in inconvenient ways. Even worse, the “outside” is filled with strange people that are constantly doing deranged and confusing things. Does this description match your current sense of what “outside” means, Cancerian? If so, that’s OK. For now, enjoy the hell out of being inside.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Do you know about the ancient Greek general Pyrrhus? At the Battle of Asculum in 279 BCE, his army technically defeated Roman forces, but his casualties were so substantial that he ultimately lost the war. You can and you must avoid a comparable scenario. Fighting for your cause is good only if it doesn’t wreak turmoil and bewilderment. If you want to avoid an outcome in which both sides lose, you’ve got to engineer a result in which both sides win. Be a cagey compromiser.

We all go through phases when we are tempted to believe in the factuality of every hostile, judgmental and random thought that our monkey

mind generates. I am not predicting that this is such a time for you. But I do want to ask you to be extra skeptical toward your monkey mind’s fabrications. Right now it’s especially important that you think as coolly and objectively as possible. You can’t afford to be duped by anyone’s crazy talk, including your own.
