A Century of Cannabis History: Loved, Reviled, Then Loved Again ::BY JEAN-GABRIEL FERNANDEZ

annabis is one of the first plants known

to have been cultivated by humanity, with archeological traces of it dating back 10,000 years. !"#$%&'(%)*"%)+%,-"% first plants to be spun into fiber, and it was a staple of many industries for millennia for its uses in crafting rope, paper, textiles, clothing, plastic, fuel, construction mate. rial and food, among many other things.

The word “canvas,” which refer to sails, comes from “cannabis” due to the fore. most importance of hemp in sailing for much of recorded history—including on Christopher Columbus’ ships.

Hemp continued to occupy an important place in the Americas after Columbus. It was a vital crop in the New World, and domestic produc. tion was encouraged. In 1619, Virginia even passed legislation requiring every farmer to grow hemp. Hemp was so precious it was considered legal tender in parts of the country. It was grown by Thomas Jefferson in /)*. ticello and George Washington in Mount Vernon. Betsy Ross allegedly made the first American flag out of the best fiber around at the time: hemp.

4 | JANUARY 30, 2020

The plant remained a commonly grown cash crop, as well as a signifi. cant part of the U.S. economy, until the 1900s; at the time, cannabis did not suffer from its modern reputation as “the plant that makes you high,” which makes it all the more puzzling how it gained that reputation in the first place. The first cracks in the good name of cannabis appeared when its recreational use was introduced to white people in the U.S. by immi. grants, in particular Mexicans.

An anti-cannabis movement started in the U.S. in the early 1900s, fu. eled by economic interests in seeing hemp step out of the spotlight and an anti-immigrant sentiment. Cannabis, the plant’s proper name, wasn’t scary enough. Opponents of cannabis started calling it foreign-sounding names like “locoweed” (from the Spanish word for “crazy,” !"#") and the better-known “marijuana” (or marihuana), the popularity of which sky. rocketed in the 1930s at the height of the anti-drug craze. For decades, the fact that the demonized Mexican drug “marihuana” was the same plant as the well-known and trusted cannabis crop was not made obvious to the populace.

“Fear of brown people, combined with fear of nightmare drugs used by brown people, produced a wave of public action against the ‘marijuana menace.’ That combination led to restrictions in state after state, ultimate. ly resulting in federal prohibition,” explains NPR writer Matt Thompson.

A TIMELINE OF CANNABIS PROHIBITION AND LEGALIZATION !

!"#$%&'()&*(**

"#$$#%&'$())$ becomes the first state to outright *#+!%#+, nabis, then known as “Indian hemp,” except by licensed pharmacists on a doctor’s prescription, after the state’s leg, islature was strong-armed by the puritanical New England Watch and Ward Society (founded as the New England So, ciety for the Suppression of Vice). This is the first domino, whose fall would start a chain reaction of anti-cannabis state laws across the country. !

+,-.&*/)&*(01

The Federal Bureau of Narcotics is formed under Presi, dent Herbert Hoover and headed by Harry J. Anslinger. As commissioner of the Bureau of Narcotics, Anslinger was the architect of cannabis prohibition in the U.S. and much of the world. Despite not being opposed to marijuana use during Prohibition, he abruptly changed his stance for a violently anti-cannabis one when alcohol became legal, and his job as a Prohibition enforcer became threatened. A notorious rac, ist, he used his position to oppress racial minorities and to spread misinformation and fear about cannabis. !

2345&*)&*(06

The Marihuana Tax Act becomes effective, officially starting the federal prohibition of cannabis, after an aggres, sive propaganda campaign against cannabis supported by lobbying efforts and the movie !""#"$%&'()"** released a year earlier. While the act didn’t explicitly outlaw mari, juana, it restricted its possession, sale and transfer to such a degree that cannabis was effectively banned nationwide.

The act, which was drafted by Anslinger, also made hemp far less profitable, dealing a serious blow to the industry. !

+7-5&*)&*(/1

Despite legislative efforts to repress it, cannabis research continues. Researcher Roger Adams and a team from the University of Illinois are the first to isolate cannabidiol (CBD) from the +'))',-*%*'.-/' plant, opening up countless new possible uses for cannabis. !

8.35&6)&*(/*

The U.S. enters World War II, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt temporarily lifts the ban on hemp to support the war effort as imported fibers are in short supply. The government-sponsored propaganda movie 0"12%#3$%4-+5 .3$6 is released in 1942 to encourage Midwestern farmers to grow hemp in large quantities—in particular those in Wisconsin, which was, historically, the heart of the national hemp industry. !

9."45&')&*(/:

Japan officially surrenders, spelling the end of World War II. The U.S. government promptly bans hemp again, going so far as to deny ever supporting hemp production during the war in the first place. Faced with harsh penalties, Ameri, can farmers are forced to abandon hemp and get rid of their crops.

6 | JANUARY 30, 2020

!+,%;&*)&*(<: Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam is the first )-!synthesize tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), identify the endocannabinoid system and illustrate the medicinal properties of cannabis, greatly improving the scientific community’s understanding of the substance. !

=7;&*)&*(6*

The Controlled Substances Act becomes effective (re, placing the Marihuana Tax Act, which was judged uncon, stitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court). The Controlled Substances Act, devised under President Richard Nixon and still in place today, became the cornerstone of the ensuing “War on Drugs.” It creates the “Schedule I Controlled Sub, stances” category for substances with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse, placing cannabis and its derivatives, including hemp, under that denomination in spite of the scientific consensus. The Controlled Substances Act makes official the absolute ban on cannabis, starting a violent and hostile campaign against the plant, which in many way continues to this day.

In 1994, Nixon’s aide, John Ehrlichman, would fa, mously go on to admit that the War on Drugs was a political move to suppress racial minorities and anti-war liberals: “We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those commu, nities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were ly, ing about the drugs? Of course we did.” !

9."45&':)&*(6*

The first Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival, which would become the longest-running cannabis festival in the U.S., starts in Wisconsin under the supervision of cannabis activist Ben Masel. Activists smoke marijuana in the capitol rotunda in Madison to protest the arrest of some prominent marijuana activists and speak up against the war.

In 2020, the festival returns for the 50th consecutive year. !

2345&:)&*(60

Going against the current, Oregon becomes the first state to decriminalize possession of marijuana, making it equiva, lent to a traffic ticket with a maximum fine of $100. The bill is championed by a young upstart state representative, Earl Blumenauer, who would go on to found the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, and who is still spearheading cannabis reform on the federal level today. Oregon’s successful decriminalization legislation kickstarts a wave of decrimi, nalization initiatives in Alaska, Maine, Colorado, California and Ohio, among others. !

!"#$%&:)&*(66

Madison becomes the second city in the country to de, criminalize marijuana (after Ann Arbor, Mich.) through municipal ordinance. The ordinance is still in place today, making the possession of up to four ounces of marijuana in a private space in Madison essentially legal. !

2345&*')&*(>/

President Ronald Reagan’s Comprehensive Crime Con, trol Act becomes effective. It severely increases the penal, ties for possession or sale of cannabis and establishes man, datory minimum sentences and civil asset forfeiture. This

is a key moment in Reagan’s efforts to ramp up the War on Drugs; in the years leading up to the act, the federal budget allocated to drug enforcement is multiplied by 12. !

?@A5&:)&*((<

Mirroring the evolution of public opinion, California passes the Compassionate Use Act, becoming the first state to effectively legalize medical marijuana. It fully legalizes the possession and cultivation of cannabis by patients with a doctor’s recommendation. This act opened the door to simi, lar initiatives in Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Nevada in the following few years. !

!,B5&/)&'11(

Oregon proves once again to be a driving force of cannabis reform by legalizing the possession and production of hemp with a sweeping bipartisan bill. While the state’s hemp industry is initially stalled while waiting for the federal government’s approval, it contributes massively to the upcoming federal hemp reform, indicating a change in the tide. !

?@A5&<)&'1*'

History is made. Colorado and Washington legalize recreational marijuana in defiance of federal law. Almost precisely 100 years after cannabis bans spread across the country, the 2012 presidential election, which brought about the reelection of President Barack Obama, partially lifts the ban. !

C.D5&6)&'1*/

The 2014 Farm Bill is signed into law by President Obama. It authorizes the cultivation of hemp for research purposes under the supervision of an institution of higher education or a state department of agriculture. !

=7#3E&')&'1*>

Thanks to the 2014 Farm Bill, Wisconsin establishes a hemp pilot program under the guise of academic research.

Despite sometimes restrictive and needlessly expensive roadblocks, Wisconsin farmers seize the opportunity to bring back the crop that was once one of the state’s main products. !

8.35&'1)&'1*>

Hemp is finally federally legalized. The 2018 Farm Bill, which largely improves the hemp reform of its 2014 equivalent, is signed into law by President Donald Trump, removing federal shackles on the hemp industry, allowing the transportation of hemp across state lines and opening up crop insurance programs, federal grants, rights and protec, tions to hemp farmers. !

+7-5&6)&'1*(

Tony Evers becomes governor of Wisconsin after %#., paigning to legalize medical marijuana in Wisconsin, promising Wisconsinites a statewide referendum to consider legalizing adult-use marijuana, as well. As governor, he re, peatedly pushes to decriminalize marijuana and attempts to legalize it. Evers also signed a bill entirely striking hemp from the list of controlled substances in the state. !

S AN INNOCENT MISTAKE ENOUGH TO BREAK THE LAW? In the case of Glendale Mayor Bryan Kennedy and former state Sen. Jim Sullivan, the answer is yes. The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) recently ruled enough signatures to be invalid for the upcoming race for Milwaukee County Executive to replace Chris Abele to put both Sullivan and Kennedy below the 2,000 valid signature minimum threshold.

On Monday, Jan. 27, the state Court of Appeals dealt the final blow to Sullivan’s and Kennedy’s hopes of appearing on the Tuesday, Feb. 18, primary ballot by denying their joint appeal. Both candidates had used a circulator by Urban Media to collect enough signatures for the upcoming election but failed to double check if the circulator had been used by any other candidate. While it seems like a small mistake, using a circulator to collect signatures for nomination papers that also collected signatures for another candidate for the same office in the same election violates Wisconsin state law.

During the trial, Kennedy argued that it was an “innocent error by a third-party vendor [Urban Media],” and that there was no ill intent, according to the WEC Decision and Order. His attorney also brought up other cases in history where the laws should be considered directory rather than mandatory—“directory” can mean the law would only apply on a case-by-case basis.

Kennedy may consider it an “innocent error,” but the law is mandatory for every candidate. The WEC made it clear that if they made this specific case directory instead of mandatory, it would “eliminate all rules governing the nomination paper process and would eliminate any certainty regarding what, if any, rules apply to the circulation process and govern review by filing officers.”

Unfortunately for the two fine candidates, we agree with the WEC. Many of the people submitting signatures are incumbents and, thereby, people with some power and influence. If there were room to negotiate, these are the individuals who know how to successfully negotiate. Enforcing the rules would deteriorate into a massive partisan political fight. Also, every candidate is given a chance to review their signatures before submitting them. If they remove any signatures before filing, there is no issue. If the candidate does not conduct this review, however, they’re accepting the risk that there could be mistakes with the signatures.

Hiring a third-party circulator to gather signatures is common, but the mistake of overlapping that service with another candidate could be avoided by gathering your own supporters to do this job. In this case, the candidates weren’t acting unethically but still broke the rules.

The WEC admitted that this was a “harsh result,” but it was reasonable to abide by this law. In running for office, abiding by the law is necessary and a reasonable requirement.

::BY PHILIP CHARD

ina’s life script was the good mother. So, when both her children went astray, one who became estranged from the family and the other with drug addiction, she felt defeated and lost.

Bill’s idyllic version of a life path was the hero. When he became a police officer, he took to heart the admonition to “protect and serve,” but repeated exposure to emotional trauma and the dark side of human nature sapped his idealism and will.

Alice was a wordsmith driven by the allure of becoming a best-selling author. She proved a prolific writer, but she never scaled the high bar of writing a best-seller and achieving widespread critical acclaim.

Many of us live under the spell of a compelling dream, one that shapes our major decisions and focuses our energy and commitment. For some, this life script emerges very early, while others come to it later in life. Alice, for example, began composing stories in early elementary school. As a kid, Bill always stood up for the kids besieged by bullies. Neither of them could pinpoint a reason for their predilections.

“It was always just there,” Alice explained, having received little encouragement from family, friends or teachers.

“No clue,” Bill told me. “Nobody in my family was a first responder or in the military, so I didn’t have any obvious role models.”

In such instances, psychology has little to offer in answering the “Why this path?” question. With folks like Alice and Bill, the absence of any apparent imprinting due to early life experiences leaves developmental psychologists scratching their heads.

Gina’s life script emerged as a young adult. Never envisioning herself a mother, she figured her career in early childhood education would prove sufficient for her nurturing nature.

“Maybe it was being around so many young kids, but whatever made it happen, I began imagining myself as a mom, and it really took over my life,” she explained.

Famed anthropologist Joseph Campbell once wrote, “Myths are the body of stories and legends that a people perceive as being an integral part of their culture.”

While speaking collectively, Campbell’s assertion applies to individuals, couples and families, as well. The myths, or life scripts, that define who we are and what purpose we serve constitute among the most powerful of psychological forces working in the human psyche. Unsurprisingly, many individual myths reflect larger societal ones. The good mother, the heroic police officer, the brilliant writer—the myths populating the minds of these three individuals—are mythological icons present in our culture, too.

As was true for these folks, many suffer the loss of their mythic dream, a longedfor sense of self that embodies something positive and purposeful. The absence of this existential GPS can leave one adrift and simply going through the motions of life rather than actually living it. Gestalt therapists call it the “impasse,” a psychological and spiritual space where one languishes like a sailboat without wind.

“It’s like I don’t quite know who I am anymore,” Gina told me. “I mean, I know I’m a mother, but the hope and idealism I associated with that role is gone.”

“At times, I feel sort of suckered by fate,” Bill explained. “It’s like I fell for this naïve idea of what it means to be a cop. Before, it was a calling. Now, it’s a job.”

Embracing one’s myth doesn’t always end badly. Some folks find enough of it in what they do to remain deeply engaged with living. And, there are people inhabiting their mythic script to the fullest.

To compensate for her loss, Gina chose to morph her good mother dream into a best aunt one, and the transfer proved helpful. Bill gave it another try as a firefighter, which had its own stressors, but the role came close enough to “protect and serve” to get it done. Alice went back at it, re-investing in her great writer dream, regardless of the eventual outcome.

Somehow, some way, they kept the dream alive, and it returned the favor by keeping their lives worth living.

::BY SHEILA JULSON

oil health is a crucial yet historically underrated aspect of farming. However, many of today’s farmers realize that healthy soil leads to healthier crops and a more stable ecosystem. As Wisconsin heads into its third hemp farming season, how does soil health come into play with this old-yet-new-again crop?

Carrie Laboski is a professor and UW–Division of Extension soil fertility and nutrient management specialist. Through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the UW-Division of Extension’s hemp research program launched last spring, Laboski is working with her colleagues in agronomy to research best growing practices for hemp. Her research focused on hemp for grain and fiber.

Laboski emphasizes that this is the first time in generations that anyone could conduct hemp research in Wisconsin because the plant had been illegal for so long. Thus, researchers, as well as most in the industry, don’t have much knowledge or experience with the hemp crop. The research team was able to find literature from 80-100 years ago about how hemp was grown in Wisconsin for fiber.

Laboski also pulled together some rough fertility guidelines for hemp with data extrapolated from more recent research done by universities in areas of the U.S. and Canada that had rolled out hemp research programs before Wisconsin. She looked at weather conditions and patterns, soils conditions and how hemp behaved compared to other crops like wheat.

The team conducted research at the UW-Madison Arlington Ag Research Station and in Buffalo and Chippewa counties. Initial screening trials seek to understand how crop management practices—such as variety, seeding rate and nitrogen fertilization—affect grain and fiber production in Wisconsin. For all of these practices, they are evaluating the impact on grain and fiber yield, as well as the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content.

Preliminary data suggests that hemp will require nitrogen additions, either as fertilizer or manure. “It’s not a crop you can just plant and ignore,” Laboski emphasizes. “We could see that if we didn’t apply nitrogen fertilizer, we had significantly less yields of grain or fiber, so that’s an important component.”

In addition to studying the effects of nitrogen on hemp, Laboski may eventually study how other macro-nutrients, such as phosphorus and potassium, affect hemp crops and THC content. She notes that she has concerns about soil erosion, which could happen if there’s not enough crop residue (such as dead leaves) covering the soil surface.

“You have to be careful with rotations to make sure you have enough plant residue covering the soils to minimize erosion potential,” she says. “We haven’t conducted research to determine if hemp increases the potential for soil erosion compared to other crops, but that’s something we have to think about.”

There’s still much work to be done with regard to hemp research and growing practices, and Laboski notes that, at this point, a great deal of professional judgement in required to provide best estimates until there’s more solid data in Wisconsin. “Everybody wants the silver bullet, whether it’s improving our health, helping the farm economy or cleaning up the environment, but a silver bullet doesn’t exist.

Hemp might be part of a solution, though,” she concludes.

The White House

New in Milwaukee:

Great Places to Eat From Bayview to Brookfield ::BY LACEY MUSZYNSKI

The beginning of the year had a lot of fresh starts for established restaurants in Milwaukee. A popular Franklin brunch spot opened a Brookfield location, a historic former tavern turned into a fine dining restaurant, and a North Shore bistro got a new owner and rebrand. Plus, a place for fresh, casual pasta and an expanding national chain have opened Downtown.

Bonobo American Bistro

A new restaurant has opened in the former North Star American Bistro space in Shorewood. Bonobo American Bistro is owned by a former employee of the Milwaukee Ale House in Grafton, Wis., which had the same owners as North Star American Bistro. The space got a light remodel and aims to be an “upscale, family friendly” spot, according to its website. The menu includes starters like buttermilk fried calamari ($11) and roasted brussels sprouts with lardons ($8); salmon, crab cake or steak salads ($15-$17); grill items like the Bonobo burger ($15) with cheddar, caramelized onions and bacon, and steak and frites ($23); and seasonal entrees like chicken and mushroom risotto ($20) and braised short ribs ($23).

Tua Pasta

A casual pasta restaurant has opened in the former John Hawk’s Pub in Downtown Milwaukee after being vacant for years. Tua Pasta is a fast, casual, counterservice restaurant that will cater to the area’s working crowd. The menu includes pasta and salad in a build-your-own model. Choose from a number of house-made pasta shapes ($6.75-$10.50) like spaghetti or fusilli; then, choose a protein, toppings and sauce like marinara, pesto or four cheese. Proteins include options like steak, meatballs, scallops and Italian sausage and are an upcharge. Five toppings are included in the base price, including zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and olives. Salads ($6-$10) start with romaine or harvest mix and include dressings like caesar and balsamic vinaigrette.

Wahlburers

Mimosa

A breakfast-and-brunch restaurant has opened in the former Louise’s Trattoria space in Brookfield. This is the second location in the Milwaukee area for Mimosa, which opened its Franklin location in 2017. The menu is largely the same, with an emphasis on locally grown and produced ingredients and flavors inspired by Greece and Mexico. Omelets include versions with shrimp, avocado and tomato ($12.95), and pollo picante ($11.45) with pulled chicken breast. Churro French toast ($11.95), smoked pecan waffle ($.95) and corned beef hash ($11.95) round out the offerings. Many items come with the restaurant’s signature red potatoes cooked in olive oil.

Wahlburgers

Wahlburgers has opened its second location in the Milwaukee area in the Historic Third Ward. The chain restaurant is owned by the Wahlburg family of Hollywood and reality TV show fame. The first location in Brookfield opened in September 2019 and often has a wait for a table. A new, expanded menu was recently announced for the chain and includes items like fried cheese curds ($8.99), street corn chicken salad ($12.49), a buffalo chicken sandwich ($12.99) and, of course, a large selection of burgers, such as the Our Burger ($10.99) and the Super Melt ($15.49)— the restaurant’s version of a patty melt.

The White House

A fine dining restaurant has opened in the former White House Tavern in Bay View. This iteration of The White House underwent a massive renovation of the 1893 building. The original wood bar and back bar was kept, and antique furniture and fixtures were added to keep the vintage feel. The owners and chef all have experience working at Mader’s, and much of the menu is German, Irish and Italianinspired. The menu changes daily based on what’s available, so call ahead if you don’t like surprises. That said, however, you can expect to find items like schnitzel, duck breast, duck confit, chicken liver, pork pate, roasted beet and goat cheese salad and homemade soups and desserts.

DININGOUT::SHORTORDER

Soulful Saturday Buffet ::BY JAMIE LEE RAKE Terri Lynn’s Soul Food Express (10742 W. Hampton Ave.) offers a breakfast buffet on the first Saturday of every month with an array of southern fare that includes grits, rice, biscuits, hash browns and French toast, making sure no customer leaves starving for carbs. Three varieties of sausage fill serving trays aside others chocked with some of Milwaukee’s crispiest bacon, fried chicken smothered in smooth, yellow gravy, expertly seasoned salmon croquettes and lengthwise-halved, breaded catfish fillets. A fragrant tomatobased sauce may be intended for the rice but would work well on plenty of other items in the buffet line. Bottomless beverages may be had for a $2 upcharge; the sweet tea is pleasantly potent enough for a coffee drinker to consider a switch. A deal this bountiful and well-attended must be a slew of work to coordinate, so don’t begrudge the fact that it’s not more frequent. The feast runs from 8-11 a.m.

Suddenly, hard cider is turning up on draft in bars and six-packs in liquor stores. It’s also sold in bottles and poured like wine. So, where does it fit?

That’s one question raised by Jeanette Hurt’s book, The Joy of Cider (published

by Skyhorse). The Milwaukee writer and author of several previous food and beverage books recalls that, 10 years ago, hard cider consumption in these parts was largely confined to European expats.

But, as Hurt points out, hard cider is more American than apple pie. Our founders drank it by the barrel, and it remained popular through the 19th century.

Hard cider’s resurgence since 2011 makes it one of the fastest-growing craft beverages. The craft aspect is a factor in its popularity, as is biodiversity. Cidermakers are reviving apple species long ploughed under by agribusiness.

The Joy of Cider explores the beverage from the connoisseur angle. There are cider glasses (wine glasses work as well) designed to “concentrate the aromas.” Temperature matters. The experts recommend serving cider at 5055 degrees; take it from the refrigerator, and let it sit for five minutes before drinking. Cider can be found in varieties for every taste from sweet to dry and can be a key element in cocktails. Hurt includes 50 recipes.

After I placed an ad in the Shepherd

Express, people called because they were intrigued about the mansion and what we offer. After our conversation, they always end up making a reservation for our Victorian High Tea. That’s why I will continue to advertise with the Shepherd; I know it works!

Les Délices

0.1"0(&)"23"("42-(5."

::BY JOHN JAHN

es Délices (“The Delights”) is a Cleveland-based early music ensemble that fosters, educates and expands the audience for chamber music on period instruments through its members’ dedication to underperformed—and largely unknown—repertoires. They accomplish this laudable task through national concert tours, radio broadcasts and recordings. Les Délices will be making their second appearance in Milwaukee under the auspices of Early Music Now this month in a concert titled “Myths & Allegories.”

Les Délices explores the dramatic potential and emotional resonance of long-forgotten music. Founded by baroque oboist-recorder player Debra Nagy 11 years ago, the ensemble has established a reputation for presenting uniquely themed concerts that are splendidly expressive and feature composers that predate those most familiar to the typical classical music lover—often by centuries. The group’s debut album was named one of the “Top 10 Early Music Discoveries of 2009” (NPR’s syndicated “Harmonia” weekly radio program), and its live performances have been called “a beguiling experience” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) and “first class” (Early Music America Magazine).

“Les Délices was on our series once before, in 2015, and the audience absolutely loved the performance,” explains Early Music Now executive and artistic director Charles Grosz. “When I plan a season, I like to balance groups from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods, and also offer a blend of vocal and instrumental music. Les Délices fit perfectly into our current season. Their leader, Debra Nagy, also performed here in this season’s opening concert with Tenet.” The ensemble (in addition to Nagy) consists of Clara Rottsolk, soprano; Julie Andrijeski, violin; Steuart Pincombe, viola da gamba; and Mark Edwards, harpsichord.

Beyond their single concert date, Grosz says the ensemble “will be in Milwaukee for several days as they perform outreach concerts as part of Early Music Now’s educational program. Les Délices’ appearances include with the Milwaukee Public Schools, Prairie School in Racine and a performance at the Milwaukee Public Library’s East Branch. All concerts are free to attend, and Early Music Now will supply each child in our audiences with a free recorder, coupled with basic instructions on how to play it from Nagy. These recorders may well be the first instruments these children own and will hopefully awaken a lifelong interest and curiosity in music and the arts.”

Homer’s Odyssey endures as one of the bestloved adventure tales of all time. The great epic follows its hero, Ulysses, on a 10-year journey as he returns home to Ithaca in the wake of the Trojan War. Along the way, his crew and he encounter lethargic lotus eaters and the monstrous cyclops, Polyphemus. Ulysses must also resist the not-so-friendly feminine wiles of the witch, Circe, the deadly sirens and the nymph, Calypso, who keeps his men and him captive for seven years. All the while, the goddess Athena (Minerva) serves as Ulysses’ guide and protector, helping him to forestall disaster and overcome his many obstacles. The Odyssey’s central theme—and the source of its universal appeal—is the enduring strength of love, hope and fidelity.

Scholars believe that Homer’s epic was originally a song that was sung to a rapt audience before any of it was ever written down. In that vein, Les Délices’ “Myths & Allegories” concert delves into early music—in this case, the French Baroque—based upon the Odyssey and its many epic and touching scenes and moments.

Included on the program are, for example, several excerpts from Jean-Féry Rebel’s opera, Ulysse (1703). The libretto for Ulysse loosely adapts Homer’s text, creating a tangled love triangle between Circe, Ulysses and Penelope. Les Délices will perform two airs from Act I: “Souffrirai-je,” in which Penelope pleads with her long-absent husband to return, and the lilting “Beaux lieux,” where she explains that beautiful gardens—and otherwise pleasing diversions—will fail to distract her from her longing. By the opera’s end, however (and with some assistance from Athena), Penelope is happily reunited with Early Ulysses in Ithaca. Les Music Now Délices will perform Les Délices two airs reflecting this Sat., Feb. 8, action from Act V: “C’est 5 p.m. vous, mon cher Ulysse” UW-Milwaukee’s and “Que c’est un plaisir Helene Zelazo extreme.”

Center Other works on the fascinating, variegated program are by François Couperin (1688-1733), François Chauvon (1690-1740), Thomas-Louis Bourgeois (1676-1750) and Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (1665-1729). As mentioned, these aren’t exactly household names, even to classical music lovers, but isn’t that the point? Though centuries old, the music by these men and women is new to the average concertgoer—as new as each succeeding adventure once was to Ulysses.

Saturday, Feb. 8, at 5 p.m. at UW-Milwaukee’s Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts, 2419 E. Kenwood Blvd. For tickets, visit earlymusicnow.org.

THEATRE

A Small Fire

Emily Bridges, a successful businesswoman, suddenly and inexplicably begins to lose her senses—first her sense of smell, then her sense of taste, then sight and, finally, her hearing. A fiercely independent person, she must now rely on her husband, John, whom she has always heretofore taken for granted. Encouraged by family and friends to leave her, John must decide if he will be the one to provide Emily with the hope she needs to reclaim her life under seemingly impossible circumstances.

“This is a gentle but fierce depiction of what love and redemption can look like,” explains Next Act Theatre’s producing artistic director David Cecsarini (who directs this production). “It’s also a stirring reminder that life—its events, mysteries and surprises—can be unreliable. Adam Bock’s play urges us to embrace life in the here-and-now, and it also advocates for love as the conduit through which life is embraced. Bock’s voice is quiet and yet so powerful,” he says. The cast includes Mary MacDonald Kerr, Jonathan Smoots, Emily Vitrano and Mark Corkins. (John Jahn) Jan. 30-Feb. 23 at Next Act’s home, 255 S. Water St., in Walker’s Point. For tickets, call 414278-0765 or visit nextact.org.

Little Black Dress

Little Black Dress tells the story of best friends Mandy and Dee. In this show—subtitled “The Fearlessly Funny Girls’ Night Out Musical”—you’ll witness Mandy and Dee’s major life events occurring as they have deliberately donned their respective go-to attire: those indispensable “little black dresses”—first job interviews, first dates, first awkward sexual experiences, first funerals and so forth. Using this unifying theme, Little Black Dress also sets the stage for hilarious improv, catchy songs and, at base, a quite touching story of love and friendship.

Given the fact that it is a fully scored and written original musical—but one with deliberate spaces throughout for improvisation—each show is different every night. The music is intoxicating, the improv amusing and certainly unpredictable and Little Black Dress’ sincere moments of heartfelt tenderness work together to create a truly unique night of musical theater. (John Jahn) Jan. 30-Feb. 2 at the Marcus Center’s Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, call 414-273-7206 or visit marcuscenter.org.

DANCE

Winterdances 2020: Transformation

The UW-Milwaukee Dance Department’s winter concert features new works by faculty members Dani Kuepper and Simone Ferro. Kuepper’s Apart at the Seams begins with five dancers and a live performance by Milwaukee Opera Theatre soprano Alaina Carlson and pianist Stephen Swedish of Franz Schubert’s famous Gretchen am Spinnrade (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel). “Upon completion of the original masterwork, the musicians and dancers unravel the art song to become an abstracted deconstruction of the original, including spoken German text and repeated fragments of music,” Kuepper says. “Music director Andy Miller has composed a new piano counterpart, brilliantly played by Swedish, which underscores this unraveling. The result reconfigures and re-contextualizes something familiar in hopes of revealing layers of the raw elements and emotional content.”

In fall, Ferro worked with the UWM Music Department’s John Climer to premiere Expressed in Units, featuring student and faculty musicians performing works by Milwaukee composers Michael Torke and Philip Sink and featuring dance interludes. This is the next step, still with live music. The concert also features works by guest choreographers Bernard Brown, Emma Draves and MFA candidate Maggi Dueker. Each work also represents a creative partnership with its student dancers. (John Schneider) Performances are Jan. 30-Feb. 2 at the UWM Mainstage Theatre, 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd. For more, visit uwm.edu/arts/event/winterdances-2020.

The Warehouse’s ‘On the Nature of Wisconsin’

A

ccording to its curator, Annemarie Sawkins, the “On the Nature of Wisconsin” exhibition “is a celebration of the way artists have explored, interpreted and presented nature in their work.” Her conceptual conceit piqued my interest as America ca. 2020 remains bedeviled by various schisms. Having lost my NPR feed to an impeachment trial and my social media to missives from evangelists on either side of any number of ethical divisions, I’ve actually been forced to read more paper, including the release from The Warehouse that eventually brought me to this exhibition. So, maybe there’s a silver lining in the rancor? Still, all the buttsoreness and righteousness is unbecoming to everyone.

These ugly socio-political divisions map onto the art world counterintuitively, with two basic positions emerging from the battle lines: One in support of canonical continuity and another in favor of disruption and dissolution. Traditional tastemakers vs. social media levelers. And it’s a funny thing that in this admittedly simplified scenario, the art conservatives and the political conservatives are geographically inverted, with the old-guard art institutions situated firmly in the bluest and most progressive portions of the political map. And this puts art from earthy hinterlands like ours in a great position to squeeze ointment into national wounds.

“On the Nature of Wisconsin” gives us a lot of natural salve.

Each of the works in the show is rooted somewhere in the Wisconsin soil. Of the dozens of individual pieces, some are of nature that happens to be in Wisconsin, and the rest channel the deeper spirit of this particular place.

Once upon a time, aspiring to such regional peculiarity might have been a declaration of irrelevance, but it smacked at The Warehouse as being a downright progressive act, and as soon as I saw Kevin Miyazaki’s trio of photographs taken from the shores of Lake Michigan, it seemed that regional perspectives might actually carry redemptive possibilities. These moody water portraits are from his Perimeter project, in which he snapped the lake from different spots: Milwaukee, Namur and, in this case, Washington Island.

They are of a single, unimaginably complex entity, captured

by Miyazaki with deep sensitivity, whose identity naturally tends to condense in the minds of those not within its watershed. In three wonderful photographs, we are privy to three completely individual perspectives on the prodigious body of water. Perhaps they’re symbolic of our current tribal dystopia: A state full of mythical boogeymen, deplorables, liberals, hillbillies, etc., named by those who haven’t left their neighborhoods in years to corroborate their anxieties.

The presence and value of water permeates the exhibition.

Given fresh water’s future importance, and Wisconsin’s special position in the discussion, this seems appropriate. Eddee Daniel’s Seiche features what appear to be six blue and yellow abstract paintings lying in a grid flat on the floor. However, closer inspection reveals them to be birds-eye photos of fallen honey locust leaves swirling atop the Menomonee River during its river-equivalent of high tide. It’s a most seductive way to encourage one to look closer at a local slice of nature often taken for granted.

As he’s done effectively for decades, Tom Uttech offers work that spin the magic of the Northwoods, pine needle by pine needle with granular specificity, compositional mastery and pulsating color. You can’t get more regionally specific than his watercolor, Nin Nenawina, of fir trees and outcroppings backlit by a luminous, orange sunset. This work reflects the idiosyncrasies of the place in which it was made as well as any two-dimensional work ever could.

A number of fine examples of 3D are also present, such Erich Moderow’s untitled, canoe-like structure of formed, parallel lengths of wood, as well as turned wood bowls by Tom Rauschke that speak to the legacy of fine traditional craft in the area. In the vitrine at The Warehouse, those turned wood bowls looked as edgy and fresh to me as the recent Miami art fairs looked bloated and tired.

Since I can remember, rules and not exceptions have guided the values of the orthodox art world. Canons, after all, are rulemaking machines. The rules they wrote came with the idea of exceptions, diversity and strangeness baked in; but still, they preferred their own, mostly coastal narrative. But things appear a little different lately. An institutional thaw feels possible. Yale University, in fact, just announced it was ending its art survey course, “The Renaissance to the Present,” due to the inadequacies and limitations of that narrative.

Sawkins’ show is apolitical and certainly has no direct designs on these issues, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t tapped into something that’s accumulating in the groundwaters. I think as we continue to divide, simplify and consolidate into tribes, the chances of exploding back into a million unique, individual particles will increase. It’s not a million, but “On the Nature of Wisconsin” offers delightful particles by at least 40 unique Wisconsin individuals hoping to get that explosion started.

The “Stolen Sisters” art exhibition features 30 indigenous local, regional and national artists’ and allies’ technically diverse work that specifically addresses a range of experiences and emotions surrounding the violence against, and loss of, indigenous women and girls. Materials range from works on paper, mixedmedia installation, metal, clay, quillwork, textile and paint. The issue of missing and, indeed, murdered indigenous women has risen to national attention of late.

The choice to use Crossman Gallery as a platform for this project is because Wisconsin is home to 11 registered tribal communities, and the adjacent Highway 90 acts as a main corridor for missing persons. With four out of five Native American women affected by violence in today’s society, it is vital that these issues are given a voice in this region.

This major art exhibition features several bodies of new work by artists Lauren Semivan and John Shimon—both collaboratively and independently. In Semivan’s ongoing series of staged studio photographs titled “Sight’s Periphery,” she constructs sculptural environments on a studio wall. Working like a painter, she adds objects, string and other ephemeral materials to slowly build a composition before photographing the set using a camera from the early 20th century. The resulting silver gelatin prints are both lyrical and formal, utilizing the languages of drawing and painting while maintaining a conversation about photography, history, memory and representation. From Shimon comes a series of oil paintings depicting death visions. Vintage paper dolls are placed within abstract watercolor landscapes; the resulting images are whimsical, yet dark. Figures from another syrupy, nostalgic era loom post-apocalyptically.

A&E::FILM

[ FILM CLIPS ] The Gentlemen R Directed and co-written by Guy Ritchie, this return to the irreverent gangster tale is a reminder that Ritchie once threatened to become the British Quentin Tarantino. Matthew McConaughey portrays American expatriate Mickey Pearson, owner of a profitable marijuana empire in London. Having announced he’s ready to sell, Pearson comes under attack from various baddies. Hugh Grant appears as Fletcher, a writer drawing inspiration for his would-be screenplays from Pearson and other local dealers. The film opens with Pearson’s apparent murder, flashing back to see who and what may have led up to it. Yes, the gimmickry is overused; but worse, Ritchie’s film seems made for his own amusement and misses the mark as a snappy crime drama. (Lisa Miller)

Gretel and Hansel PG-13 Directed by Anthony Perkins’ son, Oz Perkins, the slightly re-titled Grimm fairy tale is repurposed as the coming of age story for 16-year-old Gretel’s (Sophia Lillis). Wandering during a famine, Gretel is caring for her 8-year-old brother Hansel (Samuel Leaky), when the pair meet a kindly huntsman (Charles Babalola). Continuing through the woods, the children stumble upon an isolated cabin where they are welcomed by a kindly elderly woman (Alice Krige) who lays out a gorgeous spread.

Soon, Gretel realizes their host is evil incarnate. Indeed, Krige gives a chillingly witchy portrayal. Perkins remarked that she was cast based on her creepy audition tape which made him feel “there was a 500-lb. dog hidden somewhere in the room.” (Lisa Miller) ‘The Turning’

The Rhythm Section R After her husband and child are killed in an accidental plane crash, Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively) sinks into drug abuse and prostitution. Three years later, she is stunned to learn a bomb targeted the plane and caused the crash. Given this revelation, Stephanie works with an intelligence agent (Jude Law), who trains her in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship and impersonating various types (an anarchist, a mercenary terrorist, a businesswoman, a prostitute and a student), in order to find and get close to those she wishes to kill. However, as she continues on, Stephanie begins to realize that she must also rediscover her own evolving identity. Adapted from a 1999 novel by Mark Burnell. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n Britt-Marie Was Here (COHEN MEDIA GROUP)

“How do you live a life?” is the recurring question in Britt-Marie Was Here (2019). For the title character of this bittersweet Swedish comedy, life is a tidy routine until she discovers her husband’s infidelity after decades of marriage.

Will she be able to find a new life now that her familiar routine has been upended? Britt-Marie Was Here is a quirky character study of an older person finding the will to reinvent her life.

n Gregory’s Girl (FILM MOVEMENT)

When Dorothy tries out for her high-school soccer team, the coach is dismissive, insisting “This here is football—for boys!” But Dorothy doesn’t give up and soon enough shows her skills. It doesn’t hurt that her horny teammates fall instantly in lust. With his 1980 comedy Gregory’s Girl, British director Bill Forsyth expressed universal teenage themes in an acutely local setting (Glasgow).

The film was truly indie, produced with locals on a nearly invisible budget.

n Passport to Pimlico (FILM MOVEMENT)

The everyday folks of a postwar London neighborhood, Pimlico, are making do despite bomb craters, ruins and rationing—until they discover a medieval treasure trove and a charter deeding the district to the Duke of Burgundy. Tired of privation, the locals declare allegiance to Burgundy in this 1949 comedy from Britain’s Ealing Studios. The gentle spoof of society and bureaucracy transpires in a loopy English deadpan as Pimlico struggles to find its place in the sun.

n “Bonanza: The Official Tenth Season, Vols. 1 and 2”

Rivaled only by “Gunsmoke,”“Bonanza” was a consistent presence year after year on prime-time television. Westerns were TV staples during the 1960s, but “Bonanza” stood apart as a single-parent family drama. The redoubtable Lorne Greene, as patriarch Ben Cartwright, and his three sons were endowed with unique personalities. “Bonanza” was among the first shows shot in color, taking advantage of the forested scenery of its Lake Tahoe location. Season 10 ran from 1968-1969.

!"#$%#&'()(*&#+,%(-./&+ OFF THE CUFF WITH THE LEAGUE OF PROGRESSIVE SENIORS::BY BLAINE SCHULTZ

!

nowledge is power. That never changes. As the country’s population ages, seniors are taking charge and getting involved. The League of Progressive Seniors’ (LPS) mission statement reads, “To help rebuild a Wisconsin that values all families and individuals, invests in critical public services and commits to real democratic decision-making at all levels of government.”

Off the Cuff spoke with the League’s board members Karen Royster, David Weingrod and Sally Callan about why the organization is a force for change, social and economic justice and committed to protecting services for people who are elderly or disabled.

How did the organization begin?

K.R.: We got started in late 2015. Many of us had been activists, and we noticed there was not an organization of senior activists that was politically visible. We thought we could use our experience to build a network to present a united front around issues that affect seniors.

D.W.: Another factor is that most of us are uneducated about how our county and city run. A lot of it is providing information in understanding how budgets work. When we hear “We don’t have enough money”…

S.C.: The goal is to be informed as well as advocates.

K.R.: Congressional members care about getting reelected. They listen to the people who vote for them and the people who donate.

What are issues where LPS has gotten results?

K.R.: The first issue was family care. There was a bill to privatize family care services and reduce access. We worked with people on the North Shore to pressure Sen. Alberta Darling, who was chair of the committee. She herself had family members with long-term care issues.

The group of people who met with her spoke from personal experience. And Darling never brought the issue up—so it worked. Publicizing issues, getting directly involved and fighting for those issues was effective.

What does LPS do to raise the organization’s profile?

D.W.: We attended town hall meetings and challenged Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner when President Trump set out to dismantle Obamacare. We encouraged people to attend these meetings, to speak out and be heard—make them visible and bring the press in. We were going out of our way to be demonstrably loud, not sit back like this was a normal discussion on the pros and cons.

Meeting over health care issues, a Mother’s Day March, coordination with other Wisconsin progressive groups—after Obamacare survived (for now at least), what was next?

S.C.: In 2018, when Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele sought to close the David Schulz Aquatic Center, the proposed budget cut hit home. That was one of the issues that brought the crisis of the county budget into focus. The bad news was they put it on the chopping block. The good news was we had a neighborhood that was organized through the Lincoln Progressive Seniors offering skills and information. We organized mostly grandmothers and kids who spoke to county supervisors. I think it was the most exciting thing we did as a neighborhood. And we won, I think, because it was wrong to cut that pool. We were talking truth.

D.W.: Government likes to talk about open discussion, but they [meetings and hearings] are maybe not well publicized. We worked on bringing lots people with us. With the deliberations for cutting senior centers, we brought in lots of people from the centers to the meetings and help to force them from making any cuts.

Remembering Harlem’s Apollo Theater in Black History Month ::BY RICHARD G. CARTER

Richard G. Carter (second from left) and the Spaniels during Black History Month at the Apollo Theater in 1991

lack History Month in February brings back fond memories of my experiences at, to and from, and around Harlem’s legendary showplace, the Apollo Theater. This includes its famous Wednesday Amateur Nights.

Over the years, many stars beginning their careers risked being booed off the stage by discerning, mostly black audiences—not judges—deciding if the new talent was worthwhile. Nobody escaped the booing, not even child performers.

The storied Apollo was born in 1910 in an old burlesque house at 253 W. 125th St. Unlike famous Harlem venues such as the Cotton Club, which catered to all-white audiences, the Apollo welcomed the area’s growing black population.

Well-known amateur night performers the audience loved included 17-year-old Ella Fitzgerald (1934); Billie Holiday (1935); Sarah Vaughan (1943); Gladys Knight and the Pips (1952); James Brown (1953); the Isley Brothers (1957); Jimi Hendrix (1964); and The Jackson 5 (1967). On the other hand, those who endured audience booing but went on to fame and fortune, include Lauryn Hill, 16-year-old Dave Chappelle and Luther Vandross who was rejected a record four times.

Milwaukee’s Answer to the Apollo

Born and bred in Milwaukee, the audiences in this storied Harlem showplace took me back to the old Regal Theater, at N. 7th and W. Walnut streets. As a regular patron of the compact venue in the 1950s-’60s—easy walking distance from my inner-city home—I loved how the black crowds loudly demonstrated their pro-and-con feelings about what they were seeing on the movie screen. Males and females alike would loudly cheer, jeer and moan with alacrity.

In New York, I’d head to the Apollo by subway from Grand Central Terminal near my office, get off at 125th St. and walk about six blocks to the theater around the corner from the Amsterdam News, for which I wrote a weekly column. While thoroughly enjoying being part of the 1,500-seat Amateur Night audience on several occasions in the 1970s and early ’80s, I have fond memories of the Apollo of a more personal nature.

For example, I was on stage in 1989 as a guest on the nationally televised Morton Downey Jr. TV show, and in 2001, I was pointed out in the crowd as the authorized biographer of the Spaniels (“Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight”) by emcee-DJ Bobby Jay—bass singer of the Laddins—during the Smithsonian Institution’s Rhythm and Blues Foundation’s 12th Annual Pioneer Awards .During one Black History Month, I posed for pictures in the Apollo lobby—festooned with photos of historical performers—with Mary Wilson of the Supremes; Jerry Butler (Impressions); Harvey Fuqua (Moonglows); Willie Winfield (Harptones), and Gene Chandler (“The Duke of Earl”), Bonnie Raitt ( “Nick of Time”), Ruth Brown (“Have a Good Time”) and Gloria Lynne (“I Wish You Love”).

My most cherished memory of Black History Month at the Apollo was backstage in 1991 as the original Spaniels—featuring lead singer-songwriter James “Pookie” Hudson and bass Gerald Gregory—performed in an “R&B Reunion” after being honored by The Foundation with its first Pioneer Award for a lifetime contribution.

Electricity filled the packed theater as the Spaniels opened their set with 1953’s “Baby, It’s You,” the Gary, Ind., group’s haunting, initial doo-wop hit. And when they sang their classic a cappella version of “Danny Boy”—amidst audience shouts of “Do it, Pookie” and “Get down, Gerald”—they brought down the house.

The Spaniels was the only act among the Coasters, Shirelles, Harptones, Bobbettes, LaVern Baker, Chuck Jackson and Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, that the audience called for an encore after hearing “Goodnight, Sweetheart.” Shouts of “more, more” caused Pookie to lead them back for “You’re Gonna’ Cry,” and the crowd went wild.

A few hours later, after dinner with the group at Harlem’s famed Red Rooster restaurant, Janice and I headed home to Westchester County by commuter train. To the amusement of other passengers, she played some of the Spaniels’ tunes, and a man with a deep voice emulated Gregory’s booming bass line which introduced “Goodnight, Sweetheart.”

All original Spaniels are gone, but the Apollo—and Black History Month—live on.

I

t began with Elvis and spread to The Beatles. And then, even bands that never reached number one on the singles chart began to inspired tribute acts. So why not The Who? For the past dozen years, Milwaukee has been home to Substitute: Tales From The Who, a band that plays all Who at every show. This weekend, a brand-new Substitute debuts at Shank Hall. The lone original member, bassist Tom Branigan, explains, “After Summerfest [2019], the guys felt that for them, the band had run its course. But I still had gas in the tank and wanted to keep it going.” No one objected if Branigan took the name and ran with it.

“It was decidedly low drama as band transitions go.”

Branigan put the word out and recruited vocalist Ricco Caliendo, drummer Barry Salem and guitarist Dan Johnston. Johnston is perhaps the most seasoned of the lot with a resume that includes Chasin’ Mason and Alex Ballard & Sugarfoot. He explains his—and the entire band’s—approach to The Who’s catalog. “You want to be yourself as a musician, but you don’t want to stray too far [from the records]. If you do, it’s not The Who anymore. It’s a fine line.”

Branigan picks up the thought. “Recreating the recordings note for note would be an exhilarating process—but not so exhilarating once you got there. The Who jammed out a lot of their songs. They went free form. We want to be a little loose with their songs. I don’t think people want an exact duplicate. They want the band’s Substitute energy, the sense of camaraderie.”

Case in point, Caliendo hits those draFriday, matic high notes like Roger Daltrey—but Jan. 31, 8 p.m. not just like him.

Shank Hall Substitute reaches across The Who’s discography for their set list. Expect “My Generation,” “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Pinball Wizard.” A couple numbers from Quadrophenia will be heard along with a couple from Pete Townshend’s solo career. They will also take on “Eminence Front” and more recent songs.

“The Who are the seminal soundtrack for many people’s lives,” Branigan says. “There’s a reason why people air-drum in their cars when they turn on KLH and hear ‘Baba O’Riley’!

There’s an emotional connection with this music! We benefit from 50 years of Who equity!”

Substitute: Tales From The Who performs at Shank Hall, 1434 N. Farwell Ave., on Friday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m.

Barbara Stephan and Peter Mac @ The Packing House, 6 p.m.

Milwaukee vocalist Barbara Stephan’s release, Come on Over to Me, is a great Motown-inspired album backed by a 10-piece band. This gig with guitarist Peter Mac of Streetlife will likely showcase intimate arrangements.

Shaun Boothe: The Unauthorized Biography Series @ South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center, 7:30 p.m.

Half TED Talk, half live concert, Shaun Boothe uses music, multimedia and motivation to deliver powerful and transformative messaging. His Unauthorized Biography Series is a celebration of greatness—it aims not just to entertain and inform but to awaken the greatness within us all. Boothe will perform a selection of his musical biographies then explore the life lessons to be learned from the great figures he represents.

Wesley Stace: A Tribute to John Wesley Harding w/ Robert Lloyd and Nineteen Thirteen @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

Singer-songwriter and novelist Wesley Stace pays tribute to the acclaimed songwriter John Wesley Harding. Throughout the ’90s and ’00s, which included his tenures at Sire, Rhino and Hollywood records, Harding regularly toured in a duo format with noted mandolin, accordion and keyboard player Robert Lloyd. Stace says he feels an extraordinary kinship with these songs, and fans of the witty Harding will certainly notice more than a passing resemblance between them. In fact, they have never been seen in the same place together. Lloyd’s stellar resume as a sideman includes Chris Cacavas & Junkyard Love, Green On Red, Steve Wynn, Thin White Rope and more.

Warhola Cats w/ Vanity Plates and Bandoleer Bacall @ Pabst Brewery & Taproom, 9 p.m.

Warhola Cats compose lyrical pop songs created with voice, cello, piano, flute, percussion and guitar that move between poignancy and the absurd; themes include longing, anticipation, existential dread and heartfelt anthems toasting the Milwaukee mundane. Vanity Plates are described as “post-buttrock for fans of Jeopardy but not the college tournament.” Bandoleer Bacall simply play “Wisconsin pre-DADWAVE.”

The Watchbirds @ House of Guinness Irish Pub, 8 p.m.

The Adicts, Mystery Actions, Assault and Battery and Indonesian Junk @ X-Ray Arcade, 7 p.m.

This all-ages show features The Adicts, whose Clockwork Orange-influenced image, sensational live shows and catchy, anthemic songs date back to 1976. The Adicts are best known for their live performances, which some have described as part-childhood birthday party and part-carnival, complete with confetti, streamers, magic tricks and outlandish outfits. Almost 35 years into their career, The Adicts are still entertaining and awing crowds with their inimitable blend of high theatrics and good-time rock ’n’ roll.

SATURDAY, FEB. 1

Josh Trimble @ Var Gallery & Studios, 7:30 p.m.

Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in music at Columbia College in Chicago, Josh Trimble has studied under the private instruction of Scott Hlavenka, Peter Billman, Steve Peplin and Neil Davis, and he is currently studying with Columbia’s musical director, Bill Boris. His style is an eclectic compilation of the music he surrounds himself with, from jazz, funk and soul to Latin music.

Mike Plaisted and Eric Blowtorch @ Brewed Café, 7 p.m.

The self-described “garage folk quintet,” The Watchbirds, blends influences ranging from Janis Joplin to the Violent Femmes to the Kinks, yet they keep their sound reined in to walk the folk side of the street.

Sam Belton Group @ The Jazz Estate, 8 p.m.

Drummer and mentor Sam Belton brings his band to the Jazz Estate ahead of the spring opening of his Harambee club, Sam’s Place.

TUESDAY, FEB. 4

Alice Howe and Freebo @ Café Carpe, 7:30 p.m.

A rare Tuesday night booking opportunity opens up as these performers pass through between other gigs. Alice Howe grew up in Newton, Mass., just outside of Boston, in a home filled with music and art. Long outdoor walks were encouraged, and Howe would often disappear to wander through her grandmother’s garden next door or to journal and turn experiences into songs. “I can’t remember not singing,” she says with a laugh.

Bassist Freebo, who has played with Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall, Maria Muldaur, Ringo Starr, Neil Young and more, is well-regarded for his high level of musicality coupled with his thoughtful and powerful song lyrics.

Indefatigable troubadours Mike Plaisted and Eric Blowtorch are just as likely to sing you the news as croon pre-Valentine’s Day. This is a rare chance to catch these performers in an up-close setting. Blowtorch’s recent compilations shed some perspective on the ongoing life’s work of a restlessly omnivorous musician.

WEDNESDAY, FEB, 5

Alive at Eight: The Smart Shoppers w/ King Eye and The Squirts @ Circle A, 8 p.m.

This mid-week, all-ages show offers a rare chance to see Sessa, the Brazil-born artist known for co-founding São Paulo’s psych-funk combo Garotas Suecas. His songs are sung in Portuguese, with visceral, sexual lyrics reminiscent of Caetano Veloso and melodic flourishes not unlike those of Tom Jobim, but the music gets a deliberate minimalist treatment rarely found in contemporary Brazilian music, more reminiscent of the bareness of Leonard Cohen.

Green Bay’s Smart Shoppers new wave-surf rock mix includes bassist Rev. Norb Rozek, a guy who knows a thing or three about starting a band, a fanzine or a music scene. Prepare to be the second smartest person in the room and entertained in the process. D.J. Edina Flo follows at 10 p.m.

Sessa w/ Marielle Allschwang & The Visitations @ Cactus Club, 7 p.m.

Beach Slang The Deadbeat Bang of Heartbreak City (BRIDGE NINE RECORDS) Unlike some musicians whose output all but verbally announces their artistic influences, James Alex doesn’t pretend those influences are happenstance: he’s described his Beach Slang efforts as “fawning over the Replacements,” and that’s as evident on The Deadbeat Bang of Heartbreak City as it was on Beach Slang’s two earlier LPs (and many earlier EPs).

The open fawning gives Alex license to recruit actual Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, or to roll in Philly gutters not significantly different from the Minneapolis gutters where Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg found inspiration.

Punky-pop songs like “Kicking Over Bottles” and “Let It Ride” capture the stumbling energy, barroom poetry and slashedamp noise that help Beach Slang surpass suggestions that it wants merely to duplicate a defunct band’s achievements.

However, other fast-loud tracks, including “Born to Raise Hell” and “Stiff,” can’t really toss aside the weight of clichés drawn less from 1980s Midwestern-underground sources than from insistent, if mostly selfaware, loyalty toward the rock ’n’ roll desire for reckless behavior, and the rock ’n’ roll audience’s expectations of such behavior.

Alex does better when he leans toward the relatively thoughtful acoustic approach he’s explored under the name Quiet Slang. “Nobody Say Nothing” belies its own sullenness with strummed chords and limpid cello that ring within the chambers of a dented heart and fade out for another two minutes in “Nowhere Bus.” The final song, “Bar No One,” reconfigures elements of “Nobody Say Nothing” alongside distant piano, crisp brass and whispery backing vocals, and the combination resembles a preparation for a deathbed the singer seems to know he’s making for himself. Here, Beach Slang touches upon Beatlesque collage as well as Replacements-style elegy, and brushes greatness with bruised fingers.

Date: 1/30/20

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Please don’t imitate or repeat yourself in the coming weeks. Refrain from relying on formulas that have worked for you before. Resolve to either ignore or rebel against your past as you dream up fresh gambits and adventures. Treat your whole life like an improvisatory game that has just one purpose: to attract and stir up useful novelty. If you do these things, Aquarius, I can practically guarantee that you will win the game.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Robert Bly believes that each of us has a special genius, and the key to understanding and fully activating that genius is in our core wound. In other words, the part of us that got hurt the worst is potentially the generative source of the best gifts we have to give. Do you know where that is in yourself: the wound that could be the source of your blessing? Now is a great time to investigate this tantalizing mystery.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): My favorite ancient Greek philosopher was the rascal Diogenes. As a joke, he carried around a lantern during the daytime, proclaiming, “I am just looking for an honest man.” When Alexander the Great, the most powerful man in the world, came to meet Diogenes while he was relaxing outside and asked him if he needed any favors done, he replied, “Yeah, stop blocking my sunlight.” As for Plato, Diogenes complained that the famous philosopher talked too damn much and misinterpreted the teachings of Socrates. I encourage you to borrow some of Diogenes’ attitude in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’ll be healing for you to experiment with being brassy, saucy and sassy. Emphasize what makes you most unique, independent and selfexpressive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) published his first novel at age 30. During the next 37 years, he completed 48 additional novels and 18 works of nonfiction. Critics liked his work well enough but were suspicious of his prodigious productivity.

When they discovered that one of Trollope’s motivations for writing was to make money, they disapproved. Then they found out that Trollope kept a watch nearby as he worked, determined to generate 250 words every 15 minutes. The critics hated that even worse. Creative artists are supposed to court inspiration, not adhere to a schedule—at least according to the critics. But I approve of and recommend Trollope-like behavior for you in the coming weeks, Taurus. Cosmic forces will be on your side if you do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In accordance with the astrological indicators, I invite you to rise and soar and glide during the coming weeks.

I encourage you to expand and enlarge and amplify.

Don’t wait around hoping to be asked to explore and experiment and improvise—just do those things. It’s high time for you to enjoy stirring quests and research projects and missions dedicated to discovery. Be a fun-loving pioneer. Sample the joys of being a maverick and outlier.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I love living in the material world. Its crazy-making demands and exhilarating rewards are endlessly entertaining. Despite having been born as a fantasy-prone, overly sensitive Cancerian, I’ve become fairly earthy and well-grounded. I have a good job, a nice house, a smart wife and an interesting daughter. On the other hand, I also love living in the soul’s realm. I have remembered and recorded an average of three dreams per night for many years. Although I don’t take drugs, I cultivate alternate states of consciousness through meditation, prayer and ritual. I’ve long been a student of depth psychology, which has trained me to be as focused on my soul as my ego.

In accordance with current astrological omens, my fellow Cancerian, I urge you to hang out more than usual in the soul’s realm during the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Can I talk you into being more tender and open-hearted toward the people who care for you? I don’t mean to imply that you are currently too hard and closed. But all of us can benefit from enhancing our receptivity, and the coming weeks will be prime time for you Leos to do just that. I think you’ll find it easier than usual to deepen your listening skills and intensify your sensiSHEPHERD EXPRESS

tivity. You’ll have an acute intuitive grasp of the fact that you can earn yourself huge blessings by expressing love and compassion in very practical ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): All of us are in service to someone or something—to certain people or ideas or situations. We provide them with help or energy or mirroring or love.

We are dutiful in attending to their needs and wants.

For some of us, our service feels like a burden. It’s grating or humbling or inconvenient, or all of the above.

For others of us, being of service is fulfilling, even joyful. We find a rich sense of purpose in our devotion to a higher cause or deeper calling beyond our selfish concerns. Among the 12 signs of the zodiac, you Virgos are more likely than most to carry out the latter kind of service. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to re-evaluate, reconfigure and reinvigorate your own service.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author David Markson imagined what it would be like to write a novel that lacked conflicts or confrontations—in other words, a novel unlike any ever created. Libran author Ursula Le Guin also fantasized about stories with plots that weren’t driven by strife and struggle. Since many of us are addicted to entertainment that depends on discord to be interesting, we might find it hard to believe Markson’s and Le Guin’s dream would ever happen. But I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that your life in the coming weeks may be exactly like that: a fascinating adventure with few hassles and wrangles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to Scorpio painter Georgia O’Keeffe, success is irrelevant. The most crucial life-long effort that anyone can be devoted to is “making your unknown known.” Did she mean making your unknown known to yourself? Or making your unknown known to other people? Or both? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to do both. So, I hope you will tease out your best and biggest mysteries from their hiding places. Give them expression.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Sagittarians have a talent for burning bridges that really do need to be burned. Your intuition often guides you to assess when the time is ripe to withdraw from connections that no longer benefit you. On the other hand, you sometimes burn bridges prematurely. You decide that they are in such disrepair that they’re of no use to you, even though it might serve your ultimate interests to fix them. I offer these thoughts as a preface for my advice: 1. Refurbish rather than burn a certain bridge you’re a bit disenchanted with. 2. Build at least one new bridge that will be valuable in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The shape of the planets’ orbits around the sun is elliptical, not circular. Capricorn astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) was the first person to figure this out. He didn’t like it. He really wanted the orbits to be circular. That would have been more satisfying to his aesthetic and spiritual sensibilities. Explaining the arduous labor he did to arrive at his conclusion, he wrote, “Take pity on me, for I have repeated these calculations seventy times.” In the big picture of our understanding of the universe, of course, his discovery was felicitous. It’s not a problem that the orbits are elliptical, merely the truth. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I foresee you engaging in a process that’s metaphorically comparable to Kepler’s. Hard work will yield useful, if unexpected results.

Homework: Avoid the Tragic Magic Triad: taking things too personally, too literally and too seriously.

::NEWS OF THE WEIRD ::BY THE EDITORS OF ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Startled Starlings!

O

fficers of the North Wales (England) Police believe they have solved, with help from the government Animal and Plant Health Agency, the mystery of why more than 200 starlings were found dead in a road in Bodedern on Dec. 10. Rob Taylor, of the police force’s rural crime team, revealed that the birds suffered severe internal trauma, “support(ing) the case that the birds died from impact with the road,” he told Sky News. “It’s highly likely the starlings took avoiding action whilst airborne, from possibly birds of prey, with the rear of the group not pulling up in time and striking the ground.”

Porcine Perps!

A Polish pig farmer in his 70s who had been missing since Tuesday, Dec. 31, is believed to have been eaten by his livestock, Fox News reported. Lublin district prosecutor Magdalena Serafin told local media the farmer’s remains, consisting of bones and skull fragments, were found by a neighbor, who called police after spotting the bones while fetching water from a nearby well on Wednesday, Jan. 8. The farmer’s animals were roaming freely in the yard, and officials indicated it was clear that the pigs had feasted on him.

That’s Not Chicken Feed In the western German city of Kleve, a regional court in mid-January overruled a lower court and awarded the owner of a chicken mauled by a dog higher restitution because the chicken had TV experience. Sieglinde the chicken, who died in the attack, had completed 10 hours of acting training and had appeared in at least one German movie, for which she received a three-figure daily fee.

The court ordered the dog’s owner to pay 615 Euros (about $680) in damages, the Associated Press reported (a non-acting, regular chicken is generally worth about 15 Euros).

Oops… Just Kidding An unnamed 55-year-old man from the town of Pitalito, Colombia, got cold feet before his scheduled marriage on Saturday, Jan. 18, but lacked the courage to tell his fiancée.

So instead, with the help of his best friends, he faked his own kidnapping, reported Oddity Central. The groom’s pals told authorities they had seen a group of armed men on motorcycles abduct their friend, and because kidnappings for extortion are not unknown in Colombia, the local police responded in force.

Police commander Nestor Vargas ordered roads closed, sealed off the town and began a search. That’s when the friends got nervous and admitted they’d made the whole thing up. The reluctant groom and his cohorts will likely face up to six years in prison.

Charges Filed If you’ve always thought those nail clippers in your kitchen drawer were a harmless tool, think again. Kathleen Ayala, 30, has been charged with murder in Cumberland County, N.J., following an altercation with her husband on Sunday, Jan. 12, the Associated Press reported. Authorities said Ayala, of Millville, and 35-year-old Axel Torres got into an argument in their home that became physical, and Torres left the premises. Ayala chased after him, stabbing Torres numerous times with the tiny nail file tool on the clippers, causing wounds to his arms, hands, shoulders, back and left leg. When police arrived, they found Torres unresponsive and transported him to the hospital, where he died the next morning.

Loud and Obnoxious After numerous complaints going back six months, according to a neighbor, Robert Miller, 57, was arrested at his home Zephyrhills, Fla., home on Dec. 22 for disturbing the peace with his lawn mower. Body-camera footage obtained by WFLA shows Pasco County Deputy Michael O’Donnell arriving at Miller’s property and calling out to him, followed by a revving of the mower’s engine. “I’ve had four people come out and tell me that they can’t take it anymore,” O’Donnell told Miller, who responded, “Whatever!” before turning on the mower again and revving the engine. Dwaine White, who lives across the street, told The Washington Post the mower isn’t even capable of cutting grass. “He’ll run that tractor all night, and it echoes all over the neighborhood,” White said. Miller was ultimately arrested for disturbing the peace and not complying with a law enforcement officer’s command. If convicted, he could spend 18 months in jail and pay a $1,500 fine. © 2020 Andrews McMeel Syndication J A N U A R Y 3 0 , 2 0 2 0 | 61
