The Green List

!"#$%&'()"%*#+,*)%$-*+-&+-."/0+ *'1$.&'2*'-"334+%&5'#+6.&#5/-% ::BY DAN SHAW teve Kokette is convinced that more people would buy products made, stored or distributed using renewable energy if they only knew what to look for. To make the choices a bit clearer, the Madison, Wis., man has had the website buyrenewablesnow.com registered to his name and now hopes to begin using it in August to list companies that can boast about being “green” in one or more ways. As far as Kokette can tell, it’s a service that differs from everything else on offer, especially when it comes to providing the names of local companies. At a large energy fair held in June in Custer, Wis., Kokette asked around about similar endeavors. Nobody he talked to seemed to be aware of anything exactly like he was proposing, he said. And the general consensus seemed to be that his idea was a good one. “Somebody would have said, ‘Hey, somebody’s doing that already,’” Kokette says. “It was an original idea to everyone I spoke with.” To Kokette, the premise is simple. People who are concerned about the environment and climate change will use his website to learn about products that are made with renewable energy and then go out and begin buying those things with no further prompting. Companies that don’t use renewables will the see the sales advantage going to others and think a bit harder about getting into the renewable game themselves. “I much prefer to use the term ‘consumers rewarding,’” Kokette says. “I don’t want to be saying that people should not be spending their money at places that don’t use renewables. For one, there are so few places that do use renewables. So it would be foolish to take the negative tack.”

Rates do fluctuate, but they are still very low. Home mortgages are most people’s largest debt, so it makes sense to look at whether refinancing could save you significant money every few years. Closing costs and duration of the loan can be as important if not more important, in some cases than the rate. • If you have a 30-year loan of $200,000 at 4.5%, your monthly payment is $1,013. If rates drop to 4% and you refinance, the payment is $954 for the same 30-year period, a savings of $59 per month. If you pay closing costs of $1,500 for that refinance, it will take just over two years to recover that cost. • If you replaced your 30-year loan with a 15-year loan, which would have a lower rate, say 3.5%, your monthly payment would be $1,429, so you’d pay $416 more per month, but eliminating 15 years of payments, you’d save more than $100,000 over the life of the loan. In smaller loan amounts, interest rates are less significant. Let’s look at a car loan for example. • For a used auto loan of $17,500 with a rate of 4.79% for 5 years, your payment would be $329.27. The total interest paid would be $2,209 if you kept the loan for the full 60 months. • If the rate was 0.15% higher, your payment would be $329.91 and you would pay $2294.49 in interest over the

• If you had that same original loan at 4.79% and reduced the term by adding $50 to your monthly payment each month, you’d save $329 in interest and pay your loan off eight months early. Rates on personal loans or credit cards do not change much regardless of changes in car and mortgage rates. Let’s look at the savings side. Depending on the amount of a certificate, a difference between 0.90% and 1.00% can be very little and not worth your time, effort, or gas to chase the slightly higher rate. For a $2,000 certificate, the annual interest would be $18 at 0.90% and $20 at 1.00%. For a $10,000 certificate, the annual interest would be $90 at 0.90% and $100 at 1.00%. A money market account would be similar, and scattering your business all over town is more to keep track of. It’s a good idea to find an institution that meets all your needs. You’re likely to get good advice when you talk about your overall financial situation, not just a product. And you may save more by using multiple services; with a Summit checking account, the more you save and borrow at Summit, the more you earn toward a potential member cash payout called Cash Boomerang! which paid out $2.3 million to members last year. Here’s a true story of a member who stopped into a Summit branch to talk about consolidating her debt. She was paying interest only (no principal) on a home equity line of credit and felt like she was getting nowhere. She wanted to retire within ten years and talked about saving

more. We looked at the numbers and searched options. In evaluation, we found she could comfortably take advantage of Summit’s Express Refinance program and make room for emergencies. We devised a savings plan; every two weeks, she puts a portion of her pay into a GoSave account, a Summit savings account that restricts access. Plus, with her automatic bi-weekly payments on her new Express mortgage, she can pay that off before retiring. The financial peace of mind from taking action is priceless. Taking a more holistic look at your financial picture is ultimately more helpful than focusing on one rate here and there.

The large-scale development includes upscale *8*."()3"$% *3+% (29",89)% 12$,3)$$)$% *3+% .)$4 taurants, including Fresh Thyme, Steinhafels, Café Zupas, Portillos and Kohl’s, which re4 located from Southridge Mall. 84 South also contains an Aurora Health Center. Greenfield Mayor and longtime resident Michael Neitzke, who took office in 2005, says that Layton Avenue has been revital4 ized in the last 15 years with the additions of 84 South, Konkel Park and the city’s library, which was built about a decade ago. However, the revitalization process is ongoing. “We will continue to see new and improved things on Layton Avenue in the future,” Neitzke says. Not unlike many shopping malls, South4 ridge—Wisconsin’s largest at 1.2 million square feet and for a longtime Greenfield’s retail anchor—has seen drastic changes dur4 ing the past decade. Despite a $50 million re4 6 | J U LY 4 , 2 0 1 9

development in 2012, Southridge lost Boston Store and Sears. Macy’s remains, however, and smaller stores are moving in to fill the gap, including Golf Galaxy, Dick’s Sporting Goods and TJ Maxx.

Stan’s, which also has loca4 tions in Brookfield and Glendale, moved to its current 74th Street location in the early 2000s. “We like the area a lot because of its location and visibility.

The Psychology of Patriotism

!::BY PHILIP CHARD

o, given the political climate on our nation’s 243rd birthday, I’m going where angels fear to tread. Let’s look at what psychology and sociology tell us about patriotism and patriots. After all, we assign those labels to the fellows who signed the Declaration of Independence, which is what this holiday is about. As an aside, more than 40% of Americans get it wrong when asked what the Fourth of July commemorates. Regardless, sociologists attribute patriotism to “tribalism.” Tribes were the initial social structures humans created to further their survival. Which is why patriotism, the modern version of tribalism, can be such an emotionally charged mindset. It’s about belonging and group identity. That’s not to say patriotism means the same thing to everyone, or that feeling patriotic requires adhering to a particular ideology, which it does not. Now, tribalism is all but universal. We are a social species that, like other ones (bees, wolves, whales, ants, elephants, etc.), tends to gather into groups of various sizes and compositions. From the few existing tribal societies that remain today to the engorged nation states with millions of residents, we are birds of a feather. At its worst, tribalism stirs the demons in the human psyche. Patriotism, in particular, can become “the virtue of the vicious” (Oscar Wilde), Nazi Germany being a horrendous but not rare example. At its best, patriotic spirit becomes a force for good, as in the generosity of the American people in responding to natural disasters across the globe (of late, we citizens do better with this than our government). As an instrument of survival, patriotic leanings have, at various times, upheld our republic, beginning with the Revolutionary War and including World War II, when democracy was under assault. Inversely, it was also the driving force in our bloody Civil War, where citizens on both sides felt a patriotic duty to fight for their different ways of life. One positive impact of patriotism is its capacity to unify people who might otherwise focus more on their differences than commonalities. From early in our nation’s history, this has been a persistent theme. Studies show that, overall, Americans exhibit more patriotic fervor than most other peoples. Why? Because we need a sense of national ego to remember what binds us together. The diversity brought about by multiple waves of immigration, beginning early in the 19th century and continuing today, challenges our ability to define what it means to be an American. So, what does it mean to be patriotic? For some, it involves unquestioned loyalty to one’s nation (“My country, right or wrong, but my country”), while, for others, it requires protesting and criticizing one’s government when it fails to uphold the common good. Usually, the dispute over who claims the mantle of patriot involves how one prioritizes core values. If one highly values personal freedom, he or she may not like flag burning, for example, but still respect the constitutional right to do it. If, instead, one strongly values tradition and loyalty, then such an act may feel disrespectful, much like a personal affront, or even treasonous. Perhaps it comes down to this. If one acts in a way that creates and upholds the good of his or her fellow citizens (country), rather than purely one’s self-interest or that of some klatch of greedy opportunists (the political-industrial complex), then that person may qualify as a patriot. As Mark Twain stated, “Loyalty to country, always. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.” True patriots, then, do not serve egoism, blind nationalism or greedy self-interest. So, when those with political and economic power wield patriotic symbols, ceremonies and platitudes to divide us and turn us against our common humanity, they are not patriots. They are engaging in what George Washington called “the impostures of pretended patriotism”—feigning to be patriots in order to deceive us and further their selfish aims. Don’t buy it.

NEWS&VIEWS::POLL

You Think the Gas Tax and Vehicle Fees Should Be Increased to Fund Road Work

Last week, we asked which of these options would you prefer Wisconsin’s elected officials pursue in order to fund necessary and well-overdue state road repairs. You said: n 42% Increase the gas tax. n 7% Increase vehicle fees. n 26% Increase both the gas tax and vehicle fees. n 24% Find another solution that doesn’t raise gas taxes or vehicle fees.

What Do You Say?

The Fourth of July reminds us that the U.S. was founded as a nation “with liberty and justice for all,” as the Pledge of Allegiance concludes. It is also a nation of immigrants (in absolute numbers, the U.S. has a larger immigrant population than any other country in the world). Though these have long been highly valued, since the election of Donald Trump, do you think our country has lost something of its soul in these regards? n Yes n No Vote online at shepherdexpress.com. We’ll publish the results of this poll in next week’s issue.

::CANNABISCONNECTION THE GO-TO SITE FOR EVERYTHING CANNABIS IN WISCONSIN

We will keep you informed each week about the growing availability of legal cannabis products in Milwaukee and what’s happening at the state level with respect to Wisconsin’s movement towards legalization, what’s happening in other states and in the rest of the world.

ince 2007, Waukesha-based Connoils has provided bulk oils, oil powders and specialty ingredients like flaxseed or grape seed oil for human and pet nutrition, sport nutrition, dietary supplements and cosmetic products, so adding cannabidiol (CBD) to their offerings was a natural next step, says founder and CEO Stacy Peterson. “We have been playing in the CBD arena for about four years now,” says Peterson, who’s also on the board of directors for the Wisconsin Independent Learning College, a nonprofit college that serves adults with autism. “Autistic children suffer from seizures and other issues, and CBD is a very good remedy for them.” Peterson also expressed disgust over the opioid crisis and feels that CBD could be an answer for people coming off of heroin to manage pain and decrease addiction. In efforts to help people, she and her Connoils team began educating themselves about CBD, which she feels put them ahead of the game. Connoils has the capabilities to formulate CBD in customized oils or powder formats based on a customer’s needs. They also provide private labeling and packaging solutions. Connoils contracts with 27 Wisconsin hemp farmers for their CBD wholesale offerings and for the Abby Christopher products. They’ve recently built a 25,000 square-foot facility in Big Bend that will use green technology, including rooftop solar. They’ll turn their current space in Waukesha into an indoor hemp growing facility. They recently hired two chemists and two food scientists to further explore the medicinal aspects of cannabis and how people can introduce it in different formats for the beer or food industries. Connoils’ own line of CBD tinctures and balms is sold under Abby Christopher—Abby being a nod to Peterson’s daughter, and Christopher in honor of her friend and mentor, Christopher Mann, founder of the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute. Mann taught Peterson about hemp and how Wisconsin could benefit from growing hemp again. The Abby Christopher tinctures line is called Balance. “It creates a balance in the body between omega 3, 6 and 9 and provides what the body’s endocannabinoid system needs to reduce inflammation,” Peterson explains. The tincture is available in regular, Lemonolgy, Mocha Matte or Berry Bliss flavors in 600 milligrams (ml) of CBD per 30 ml bottle (20mg of CBD per serving), or 1,500 mg of CBD per bottle (50 mg of CBD per serving). They will soon add pain balms and other ailment-specific products. They even have a have a nurse on staff that specializes in CBD to answer customer questions. Peterson says a research and development challenge has been producing cannabis that’s less than the federal legal limit of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant. Cannabis seeds can run up to $1 a piece, she notes, but if mature plants test above the 0.3% THC limit, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, the state agency that issues licenses to hemp growers, requires they be destroyed. Male and female plants can also cross-pollinate, thus increasing THC levels. “It’s all about the nutrients, genetics of plants, and seed experimentation to get just the right variety or strain. It’s a lot of scientific chemistry.” Although many people are launching CBD products, Peterson believes there’s enough space for everyone to play in the sandbox together, but she emphasizes that people look for quality. “There’s a lot of snake oil out there and you should always ask for certificates of analysis. If the seller can’t prove it is batch specific to that analysis, you should be cautious. And if it’s not working for you, you should also be cautious.” For more information visit connoils.com or abbychristopher.com. Comment at shepherdexpress.com. n 12 | J U LY 4 , 2 0 1 9

Little Cancun

Little Cancun Brings New Mexican Flavors to Bay View

Little Cancun’s chips and salsa are my new favorites in town; warm tortilla strips sprinkled with their secret seasoning and served with two bottles of salsa. The green salsa has the perfect amount of heat and the smooth red salsa has so much flavor I found myself scooping a combination of both and coining the phrase “worth the trip just for chip.” The antojitos (literally “little cravings”) are like Mexican street snacks. Once you’ve had them, you will crave them again and again. The loco beans are a savory dish of beans topped with steak, cilantro and onions. Given my delight over the chips, it’s no surprise that their Nachos are so on point. You can order whatever meat or a combination of meats you desire or just enjoy them with beans and cheese ($4.50-$12.95). The menu has a section dedicated to huevos (eggs) and includes four different preparations served with beans, rice and tortillas ($11). For the “platos especiales” (special combination plates), you can feel free to change the meat for a small upcharge, but if you want to switch items, you are better off creat::BY ALISA MALAVENDA ing your own from the vast a la carte menu.

Humility becomes Mae Velma’s Corned Beef (4115 N. 76th St.). Its signage and website claim that the takeout-only establishment has “arguably the best corned beef in the city,” which leaves room for argument. But none may be necessary. A recent walk-up visit (they have a drive- through window as well) delivered a Reuben sandwich brimming with thick, lean, moist corned beef with sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing and Swiss cheese between toasted slices of light rye bread. The magic Mae Velma works with a Reuben may also be had in eggroll form, and plain corned beef sandwiches are likewise on offer. Beyond Mae Velma’s specialty, the menu offers a quirky take on soul food. Baked potato soup and chili share pages with perch, catfish and shrimp dinners; Italian beef and Italian sausage comes on white buns. A chicken and waffle special includes three jumbo wings alongside the grilled batter cake that has outgrown its breakfast-only status. EVAN CASEY

‘Anastasia’

‘Anastasia’ a Timeless Tale of Separation and Loss (Hope and Love) ::BY JOHN JAHN

he Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna (1901-’18) was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II—the last emperor of Russia—and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra. Anastasia had three sisters, Olga, Tatiana and Maria, and one brother, Alexei Nikolaevich, the heir apparent. But young Alexei would never become tsar; he and his entire family (the Romanovs) were murdered by Bolshevik rebels in Yekaterinburg on July 17, 1918. As one of several children of the last leader of imperial Russia, young Anastasia should, ever since that dreadful day in July more than a century ago, have become not much more than a footnote in history. Yet, likely born of wishful thinking, persistent rumors of her possible escape from the murderers began circulating soon after her death, fueled by the fact that the location of her burial remained unknown for many decades after the communists took control.

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Lest there be any lingering doubt whatsoever, her survival has been conclusively disproved. Scientific analysis, including DNA testing, confirmed the remains of the imperial family, showing that all of the children were killed in 1918. Several women once falsely claimed to have been Anastasia; the best-known impostor being Anna Anderson. Her body was cremated upon her death in 1984, but DNA testing in 1994 on available pieces of Anderson’s tissue and hair showed no relation to the Romanovs. Given such facts, it might seem a redoubtable task to take such a tragic story and give it that Hollywood and Disney-ready “happily ever after” denouement. But these are the true-life events from which celebrated playwright Terrence McNally, composer Stephen Flaherty and lyricist Lynn Ahrens gleaned material for their hit musical Anastasia. McNally is the recipient of the Dramatists Guild of America Lifetime Achievement Award, Tony Awards for his plays Master Class and Love! Valour! Compassion!, his librettos for Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime and an Emmy Award for Andre’s Mother. Flaherty composed the music for the Broadway shows Ragtime, Once On This Island, Seussical, Rocky, My Favorite Year and many others. Ahrens won the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Grammy nominations for Ragtime and nominated for two Academy Awards and two Golden Globes for the animated feature film Anastasia (upon which the stage musical is quite heavily based).

“A Mysterious and Determined Young Woman”

Anastasia completed its two-year Broadway run three months ago, where it played to sold-out audiences, and it has continued doing so thereafter as it has embarked upon its North American tour. Directed by Darko Tresnjak, Anastasia’s next stop on that tour is Uihlein Hall of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Milwaukee. “My favorite William Shakespeare plays are his late romances: Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest,” explains Tresnjak. “They tell of families torn asunder, of long and perilous voyages and of improbable yet heartbreaking reunions. They seem to encompass all of life’s joys and sorrows, and at or near the center of each one is a mysterious and determined young woman. The same is true of Anastasia. “I have come to think of it as a theatrical romance and of the title character (whose name literally means ‘resurrection’) as our Marina or Imogen,” Tresnjak continues. “I suspect that everyone—especially immigrant children like myself who come to learn about separation and loss from an early age—has a need to believe in stories like Anastasia. Since the recent DNA findings about the Romanov family, we just know Anastasia for certain what we pretty much knew all along: Uihlein Hall Anna Anderson was not Anastasia. But to me, that does not really matter. A fabrication gave birth to July 23-28 a myth, a modern romance.” “Seeing Ragtime for the first time was a life changing event in my career,” adds the production’s choreographer, Peggy Hickey. “The fusion of music, text and visuals combined to make me passionately interested in storytelling through movement. In all honesty, it is a dream come true to work with Terrence McNally, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. I am still pinching myself.” “Anastasia spans countries, decades and movement styles using so many of the colors on my palette. I have enjoyed creating dances that range from ethnic troikas and mazurkas to jazz age Charlestons and imperial Russian ballet,” Hickey says. “My 15-year association with Tresnjak has granted us a shared vocabulary and history that allows us to work ever more closely with a mutual passion and sense of purposeful storytelling.” Ultimately, it’s that timelessly relatable, purposeful storytelling that causes a legend to be born—and to endure. At its very base, Anastasia is about a young woman searching for her family, for who she is and for her place in what she has learned, all too soon, can be a very dangerous world, yet one filled with hope and love, too.

CLASSICALMUSIC

Penny Corris— Symphony No. 1 Penny Corris is a classically trained composer with a degree in music history, theory and composition from UW-Madison. She’s studied piano and French horn and co-published a book on Wolfgang Mozart’s piano cadenzas (along with eminent pianist Paul Badura Skoda). Following the performance of her songbook as a successful fundraiser for the Fisher House in Milwaukee, Corris felt the challenge of composing a full-length symphony for large orchestra. The result of this personal challenge is her Symphony No. 1, a four-movement work scored for 36 instruments. The Milwaukee Philharmonic, founded two years ago, will perform Corris’ symphony in a free concert under the baton of conductor Matthew Makeever. Along with her new composition will be a performance of an already legendary one: Mozart’s Symphony No. 29 in A Major. Stanley Sadie, prolific British musicologist, music critic and editor, described the piece as “a landmark... personal in tone, indeed, perhaps more individual in its combination of an intimate, chamber music style with a still fiery and impulsive manner.” (John Jahn) Saturday, July 6, at 8 p.m. at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, 19805 W. Capitol Drive. This concert is free and open to the public.

Essentially, Parr leads attendees on a guided tour through his collection of magical curiosities, artifacts and stories. Every shelf of Parr’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” offers an encounter with something weird and wonderful. Each object has a story—some strange, some spooky and some amusing. July 11-14 at the Brumder Mansion, 3046 W. Wisconsin Ave. Get your $20 tickets by visiting brownpapertickets.com.

A&E::VISUALART

American Dream Just Out of Reach in ‘For God and Country’ ::BY SHANE MCADAMS

native of Wisconsin, artist Rafael Francisco Salas has resided in the state continuously with the exception of a brief detour during his college years to study art. His new exhibition, “For God and Country,” (at Portrait Society Gallery through Aug. 3) explores his complex relationship with his native region, where he “experienced a kind of displacement” and “a pervasive sense of otherness” growing up. Salas notes that his otherness stems from his Mexican heritage but implies through art a still more ominous “other” lurking in the shadows of his painted landscapes. This complex spirit haunts Salas’ foreboding paintings and looms over all those marginal psychic spaces between the cultural beltways. That ghost is the rural Midwest itself. “For God and Country” is mostly a show of paintings and drawings, with occasional cameos by sculptural elements. To the right of the entrance in the largest gallery, a working turntable and a collection of records encourages viewers to amplify the show’s mood with some Dolly Parton, George Jones or Ray Charles—a well-chosen if safe soundtrack for the 40 sooty, surreal and melancholic paintings spread throughout the three galleries. In time, the works begin to weave a loose but interconnected narrative (not unlike “Jolene,” which was my soundtrack for the first two minutes and 40 seconds.) Music and landscape mix bizarrely in Salas’ work. Musician in Winter (Accordion) features a faceless suited figure twisting off a song on a scrubby patch of earth in a falling snow. The only discernable color (though Salas has a knack for teasing out the chromatic possibilities of

22 | J U LY 4 , 2 0 1 9

gray) are two small green squares in different shades in the upper right. They read a little like four-color processing test squares, but I couldn’t help but think of the green light at the end of Jay Gatsby’s dock signifying the elusive American Dream floating on a horizon just out of reach. The cumbersome landscapes in the show are buoyed by music—both depicted and actual—and by those anomalous touches of color. The strange relationships come across as profoundly personal but also outfacing and composed. “For God and Country” feels cinematic, which is also to say it feels directed and even scripted at times, in the best possible sense. Salas’ confessional visions are filtered cleanly through a filmic sensibility that allows us to inhabit his world from a critical distance. The suggestively titled I don’t stand out all night in empty fields and call your name no more for instance, with its forlorn landscape worked by four suited figures, evokes the wind-beaten sadness of a cold day in the Northern Plains as deftly as the Cohen brothers do in Fargo. Remember that aerial shot of the parking and William H. Macy’s lonely sedan? Kind of like that. The ashen, faceless men and women in the show are opposed emphatically by several colorful paintings of pixelated images. One of those works might be of a patriotic figure against an American flag bearing the show’s title.

ing. Gov. Tony Evers ordered the flag raised there to celebrate Pride Month earlier in June. Given Gov. Evers’ election win with 1,324,307 votes, Appling’s unbiblically proportioned effort calculates to 0.76% of that number (or .37% of the total 2,672,328 votes cast for both gubernatorial candidates), proving the historic raising of the flag was, if not embraced by all the rest, a non-issue for most. Elsewhere, Pride parades and celebrations throughout the country marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Aside from World Pride in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago and St. Louis among many others (including Stevens Point, Wis.), held local pride events that drew millions in recognition of the advances made in LGBTQ equality. Democratic presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris rode in San Francisco’s Pride Parade, and Pete Buttigieg appeared at New York City’s World Pride, where he accepted the endorsement of the LGBTQ Victory Fund. And, in a sign of the times, national news networks covered the festivities with gushing enthusiasm. But the current reality of the times is not all rainbows. Earlier in the month, we saw armed homophobic extremists appear at Pride events carrying Nazi flags (and that just days after the 75th Anniversary of D-Day). We also endured the banning of the rainbow flag at the Stonewall Inn itself. Now, since President Barack Obama declared the site a national monument, it is under the jurisdiction of the federal National Park Service. The current regime directed that agency not to fly the rainbow colors at its facilities. A friend of mine commented on the World Pride celebrations, saying “it’s the beginning of a new era.” It could be. Perhaps the 50th anniversary of Stonewall will motivate more activists to continue the struggle of those inadvertent revolutionaries at Stonewall. Meanwhile, however tentatively, we can celebrate our pursuit of happiness. 0-11#2&$'&$+"#,"#)/#3,)#++4*-14$n

Big Head Todd & the Monsters

Plenty of Fire Left in Big Head Todd & the Monsters

::BY ALAN SCULLEY

arly in their career, Big Head Todd & the Monsters seemingly had a shot at pop radio stardom. Sister Sweetly, the group’s third album (and first for a major label) produced hit singles in “Broken Hearted Savior” and “Bittersweet” and briefly gave singer-guitarist Todd Park Mohr and his original bandmates, bassist Rob Squires and drummer Brian Nevin, a taste of the rock star life. But rather than use that success as a springboard for a bigger breakthrough hit on top 40 radio, BHTM chose instead to base their career around their live show and gradually build an audience along the way. “I sometimes wonder about that because there’s something about it in this business where you just get one shot [at major stardom] and that’s it. And then there’s a glass ceiling after that,” Mohr says. “I don’t spend too much time second guessing that. But in a way, it’s good that we’ve had the career we’ve had, I think, because it forced us to keep working really hard. If I had had really big early success, I probably wouldn’t be here.”

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Thirty-plus years after forming the group, Mohr, Squires, Nevin and later addition keyboardist-multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lawton are not only still around but are going strong and feeling there’s plenty creative fire left in their furnace. The group hasn’t had any songs that matched the radio play and success of “Broken Hearted Savior” or “Bittersweet”— although the albums that followed, Strategem (1994) and Beautiful World (1997), both went gold. But BHTM has built a loyal audience that continues to give the band the kind of career stability that isn’t easy to achieve and sustain in the music business. Big Head In not chasing radio hits, Mohr and his Todd & the bandmates have felt the creative freeMonsters dom to grow as musicians and artists. As the band’s songwriter, Mohr has exSummerfest’s panded his palate, building on the gritty Briggs melodic rock and soulful pop balladry of & Stratton the 1990s albums, deepening his ability Big Backyard to draw on blues, funk, pop and other Friday, July 5, styles within the band’s music. 4 p.m. Perhaps most notably, the group took a deep dive into traditional blues with a side project, the Big Head Blues Club, that allowed Mohr and the band to collaborate with such blues legends as Hubert Sumlin, Honeyboy Edwards, B.B. King, Charlie Musselwhite and Billy Branch and explore the music of Robert Johnson (on the 2011 album 100 Years of Robert Johnson) and Willie Dixon (on 2016’s Way Down Inside). Some of the earthy blues sound of 100 Years of Robert Johnson filtered into BHTM’s album Black Beehive. But those expecting something similar out of the band’s latest, New World Arisin’ are in for a surprise. Instead, Mohr cranked up his electric guitar and the band rocks harder than any of their previous 10 albums with songs such as the title track, “Long Coal Train,”“Trip” and “Detonator” setting the tone. Meanwhile, more measured, somewhat poppier songs like “Mind,”“Glow” and “Damaged One” play up Mohr’s more melodic sensibilities and help create a varied platter. Mohr says the band’s bluesier recent work had something to do with the shift in direction on New World Arisin’. “We were just kind of excited about having an album conceptually that was basically a guitar-rock album,” Mohr explains. “There are really not ballads on it. It is brash, but at the same time there’s a lot of songwriting depth in it, I think. So, I’m really pleased with the outcome of it.” The rocking sound of the new album translates well to the live stage. Mohr said the new songs are giving the live show a different feel than the shows BHTM had been playing over the past couple of years. The group figures to play about two hours each evening, enough time to cover plenty of musical ground from the band’s catalog, including some deep tracks. “We’re going to be playing, obviously, stuff from the new album,” Mohr says. “And also, peoples’ favorite songs. You’ve got to play those. So, what’s left is what we have fun with every day and mix it up. I have a master song list of about 160 songs, so there’s a lot to choose from. We’re pretty receptive to what people scream out in the audience or somebody Facebooks us with their request, I try to honor requests if I can.” Big Head Todd & The Monsters perform at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 5, at Summerfest’s Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard.

Los Angeles poet Sierra-Nicole Qualles has ties to Milwaukee. Earlier this year, she toured the West Coast with our hometown poets Freddy La Force and Franklin K.R. Cline. Just out is her latest poetry book, Loose Cannon, from Milwaukee’s quality poetry publisher, Vegetarian Alcoholic Press. She’s reading along with Milwaukee’s Ed Wingard and Angela Voras Hills plus Wisconsin Poet Laureate Margaret Rozga.

Natty Nation “Stand In Love” / “Stand In Love (Version)” (NATTY NATION) Madison reggae aggregation Natty Nation have been plying roots vibes for more than two decades, and now they’re refashioning their own roots. The original version of “Stand In Love” dates from the band’s 1998 Earth Citizen album, and its sunny, slightly dubby-lovers rock iteration was already a winner. This new recording, spurred on by a friend who wanted to use it for his wedding ceremony, adds a slight injection of dance-floor oomph with a ’60s-styled rocksteady beat. The song itself is perfect for the exchange of matrimonial vows, too, being a simple affirmation of not wanting to fall in love, but rather stand in it. The skittering instrumentation over the” riddim” will remind some listeners of just how much Natty’s style of Jamaicanderived musicality mirrors the busyness of some sectors of current U.S. R&B, in case any enterprising urban-radio jocks want to bring reggae back in vogue on those airwaves. In keeping with this remake’s retro sensibility, it’s pressed on 7-inch vinyl, too. In anticipation of their forthcoming collaborative album with legendary reggae singer Errol Brown, who also mixed this gem, this is a sweet prelude. —Jamie Lee Rake Natty Nation will perform July 4 at Main Hub, 1300 N. Main St., Racine, on Thursday, July 4, at 10:30 a.m.

Stratus Luna Stratus Luna (MUSIC MAGICK) You’d never know they were from Brazil, unless you know a lot about Brazilian rhythms— and listen really close. São Paulo’s Stratus Luna is a present-day progressive rock band at the highest level, artfully employing sequencers amidst dreamy melodies and power surges of guitar and organ. Their instrumental self-titled debut album is masterful, and belies the youth of its members as it draws from challenging tempos and textures. Sitar and lap steel meld together in the flow. —Morton Shlabotnik SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Jerry Grillo

!"##$%&#'(()*+%!,--$% .,/"%)0%1'(2,3/"" ::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN

hat does Milwaukee mean to Jerry Grillo? According to his latest recording, “My Hometown Milwaukee,” it’s a city whose “museum has wings and so many things—happening through the year.” Sung with easygoing Tony Bennett swing, “My Hometown Milwaukee” even ventures to predict the Brewers will reach the World Series this year. Remarkably, Grillo wasn’t born here but arrived, fresh from college, for a teaching job with Milwaukee Public Schools. When he retired a quarter-century ago, the free time finally enabled him to study the craft of jazz singing. He never thought of leaving town. There was always just enough opportunity to entertain at jazz clubs and piano bars and just enough support for a prolific recording career with over half a dozen albums to his credit from the ’90s and ’00s. “My Hometown Milwaukee” is a rarity in his catalogue—an original song. Grillo credits the owner of the Jazz Estate on the city’s East Side with planting the seed. “‘Someone should write a song about Milwaukee,’ he told me,” Grillo recalls. “He put the bug in my ear, but it took a few things for it to happen: the Bucks, Fiserv Forum—it seemed like a Milwaukee Downtown renaissance. I don’t think there was a time during my lifetime when the city was this buzzing.” Rather than write songs, Grillo set his sights on interpreting the Great American Songbook, that remarkable pre-1950s repertoire from the pens of Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Rodgers and Hart. “I’ve always done the standards,” he says, insisting that his influences weren’t the usual suspects of Mel Tormé or Frank Sinatra. “It’s the female singers, actually—Sarah Jerry Grillo Vaughan, Carmen McRae. I identified more with them and their Transfer interpretations than the male singers of those songs. They are so Pizzeria Café in tune with the emotional interpretation of the lyrics.” July 9 “My Hometown Milwaukee” can be found on Spotify and YouTube and has been heard on WMSE. “I’ll never do another album,” Grillo insists. The new song caught some ears outside the regulars at Milwaukee’s jazz clubs. “I sent the lyrics to the mayor and he came to a show at the Jazz Estate the night I introduced the song,” Grillo recalls. “It was a very kind gesture on his part.” As for Milwaukee, the singer praises the city’s “easy to and fro situation” and a “pizzeria with live jazz twice a week. What other city has that?” Jerry Grillo performs July 9 at Transfer Pizzeria Café, 101 W. Mitchell St. J U LY 4 , 2 0 1 9 | 33

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian voice actor Tom Kenny has played the roles of more than 1,500 cartoon characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Spyro the Dragon, Jake Spidermonkey, Commander Peepers and Doctor Octopus. I propose that we make him your role model in the coming weeks. It will be a favorable time for you to show your versatility; to demonstrate how multifaceted you can be; to express various sides of your soulful personality. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Donald Miller reminds us that fear can have two very different purposes. On the one hand, it may be “a guide to keep us safe,” alerting us to situations that could be dangerous or abusive. On the other hand, fear may work as “a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.” After studying your astrological indicators for the coming weeks, Leo, I have come to the conclusion that fear may serve both of those functions for you. Your challenge will be to discern between them; to know which situations are genuinely risky and which situations are daunting but promising. Here’s a hint that might help: Trust your gut feelings more than your swirling fantasies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Why do flocks of geese fly in a V-formation? Because to do so enhances the collective efficiency of their travel. Each bird generates a current that supports the bird behind it. Let’s make this phenomenon one of your power metaphors for the coming weeks. What would be the equivalent strategy for you and your tribe or group as you seek to make your collaborative efforts more dynamic and productive? Unforeseen help will augment any actions you take in this regard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue,” mused Libra author Truman Capote. “That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.” That cynical formulation has more than a few grains of truth in it, I must admit. But I’m pleased to tell you that I suspect your experience in the coming weeks will be an exception to Capote’s rule. I think you have the potential to embark on a virtual binge of rich discussion and intriguing interplay with people who stimulate and educate and entertain you. Rise to the challenge! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with astrological rhythms, you are authorized to make the following declarations in the next two weeks: 1. “I refuse to participate further in this situation on the grounds that it might impinge on the expansiveness of my imagination.” 2. “I abstain from dealing with your skepticism on the grounds that doing so might discourage the flights of my imagination.” 3. “I reject these ideas, theories and beliefs on the grounds that they might pinch, squash or deflate my imagination.” What I’m trying to tell you, Scorpio, is that it’s crucial for you to emancipate your imagination and authorize it to play uninhibitedly in the frontiers of possibilities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dear Sagittarius: I invite you to make a copy of the testimonial below and give it to anyone who is in a position to support your Noble Experiment. “To Whom It May Concern: I endorse this Soulful Sagittarius for the roles of monster-tamer, fun-locator, boredom-transcender, elation-inciter and mountaintop visionary. This adroit explorer is endowed with charming zeal, disarming candor and abundant generosity. If you need help in sparking your enthusiasm or galvanizing your drive to see the big picture, call on the expansive skills of this jaunty puzzle-solver.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Life will conspire to bring you a surge of love in the coming weeks—if you can handle it. Can you? Will you be able to deal adeptly with rumbling love and icy hot love and mostly sweet but also a bit sour love? Do you possess the resourcefulness and curiosity necessary to have fun with funny spiritual love and running-through-the-labyrinth love and unexpectedly catalytic love? Are you open-minded and open-hearted enough to make the most of brilliant shadowy love and unruly sensitive love and toughly graceful love? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I don’t endlessly champion the “no pain, no gain”

theory of personal growth. My philosophy holds that we are at least as likely to learn valuable lessons from pleasurable and joyful experiences as we are from difficult and taxing struggles. Having said that, I also think it’s true that our suffering may lead us to treasure if we know how to work with it. According to my assessment, the coming weeks will bring one such opening for you. To help you cultivate the proper spirit, keep in mind the teaching of Aquarian theologian and author Henri Nouwen. He said that life’s gifts may be “hidden in the places that hurt most.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Japanese word “wabi-sabi” refers to an interesting or evocative imperfection in a work of art that makes it more beautiful than if it were merely perfect. “Duende” is a Spanish word referring to a work of art that gives its viewers the chills because it’s so emotionally rich and unpredictably soulful. In the coming weeks, I think that you yourself will be a work of art with an abundance of these qualities. Your wabi-sabi will give you the power to free yourself from the oppressive pressures of seeking too much precision and purity. Your duende can give you the courage you need to go further than you’ve ever dared in your quest for the love you really want. ARIES (March 21-April 19): When the universe began 13.8 billion years ago, there were only four elements: mostly hydrogen and helium, plus tiny amounts of lithium and beryllium. Now there are 118 elements, including five that are key components of your body: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. All of those were created by nuclear reactions blazing on the insides of stars that later died. So it’s literally true to say that much of your flesh and blood and bones and nerves originated at the hearts of stars. I invite you to meditate on that amazing fact. It’s a favorable time to muse on your origins and your ancestry; to ruminate about all the events that led to you being here today—including more recent decades, as well as the past 13.8 billion years.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Most American women couldn’t vote until a hundred years ago. Women in Japan, France, and Italy couldn’t vote until the 1940s. Universal suffrage has been a fundamental change in how society is structured. Similarly, same-sex marriage was opposed by vast majorities in most countries until 15 years ago, but has since become widely accepted. African American slavery lasted for hundreds of years before being delegitimized all over the Western world in the 19th century. Brazil, which hosted 40 percent of all kidnapped Africans, didn’t free its slaves until 1888. What would be the equivalent of such revolutionary transformations in your own personal life? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have the power to make that happen during the next twelve months.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini musician Paul Weller is famous in the UK, though not so much elsewhere. According to the BBC, he is one of Britain’s “most revered music writers and performers.” To which I say: revered, maybe, but mentally healthy? Not so much. He bragged that he broke up his marriage with his wife Dee C. Lee because “things were going too well, we were too happy, too comfortable, everything seemed too nice.” He was afraid that “as a writer and an artist I might lose my edge.” Don’t you dare allow yourself to get infected with that perverse way of thinking, my dear Gemini. Please capitalize on your current comfort and happiness. Use them to build your strength and resilience for the months and years to come.
