A New Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight as the Viagra Patent is About to Expire A patented pill costing less than $1 a dose stands to help millions of men with failing sex lives; no prescription will be required By Ray Wilson Associated Health Press AHP− A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire. But unlike the former, it won’t require a prescription and is priced just under a $1 a dose. The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work instantaneously on the body and mind triggering arousal and firmer, harder erections. Formulated with a special compound known as an “accelerator”, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, where it begins to work its magic. The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to expand. This allows blood to flow directly to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer. Cialis and Viagra are based around a simlilar concept. But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that also directs a small portion of this blood flow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on. This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in clinical trials. It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood flow, men are harder and firmer for longer...and have unbelievable sex drives. “Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Henry Esber, the creator of Vesele. “And although they work for some men, the majority experience absolutely no fulfillment during sex. According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $50 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time. This is what makes Vesele so different and effective. It floods the blood stream with key ingredients which cause arteries all over the body to expand. The patented

accelerator speeds up this process even more. The result is a rush of blood flow to the penis and brain, helping to create an impressive erection and a surging desire for sex. Often, this is all men need to get going. And when taken regularly, many men say they are energized and aroused all day.”

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering Vesele in the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding. Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be. In the trial above, as compared to baseline, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 85% improvement in erection hardness over a four-month period. Their erections also lasted twice as long. These same men also experienced an astounding 82% increase in the desire for sex (libido/sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners. Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

Faster Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two clinical strength vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. According to an enormous amount of clinical data, each is very safe. Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration.

Expiring Patent Opens the Door to a New Sex Pill: Vesele is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and erection hardness.

Recent Studies Show Positive Effects on Women In the same study referenced throughout, Vesele was also shown to have an amazing (and somewhat surprising) effect on women too. That’s because the same arteries and vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain and genitals are the same in men and women. “In our most recent study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 52% improvement in arousal and sex drive. Perhaps more impressive, they also experienced a 57% improvement in lubrication. You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together. Everything feels better. Everything works better. Everyone performs better. It’s truly amazing.”

A New Frontier of Non-Prescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) restore failing sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense.

And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes your erection hard.

Through a patented absorption enhancer, the Vesele formula hits the bloodstream quickly, resulting in phenomenal improvements in erection firmness and hardness. By boosting blood flow to the brain, users also experience sexual urges and arousal they often haven’t felt in years.

But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive. That’s because blood supplies energy for the brain. This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal.

This is the official release of Vesele in Wisconsin. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to any reader who calls within the next 48 hours.

Studies show the Vesele stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis. The extreme concentration of the ingredients combined with the accelerator ensures that this process starts quickly. The sexual benefits of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

Trump’s War on Harley -Davidson ::BY JOEL MCNALLY

But the economic destruction being inflicted on American companies and their workers could be just as devastating as Trump escalates his reck+ less trade war against seemingly every other in+ dustrialized nation on Earth. Every rational economist—none of which work for Trump, of course—warns that interna+ tional trade wars cause widespread, unpredict+ able and uncontrollable economic damage to everyone. That seems true, as an early victim of Trump’s trade war is America’s iconic 115-yearold Harley-Davidson motorcycle company of Milwaukee. But don’t expect Trump to apolo+ gize for the economic damage he’s inflicting on a successful U.S. company with trade policies projected to reduce its revenue by $100 million a year.

Instead, Trump’s angry at Harley-Davidson for showing just how bad his terrible trade war is. Whenever someone exposes Trump as less than stunningly brilliant, he attacks. So, he’s trash-talking Harley-Davidson to drive down its stock and threatening to punish the company with enormous taxes “like never before.” Talk about “American carnage” reducing the U.S. to a smoldering industrial wasteland. How are Trump’s destructive economic actions aimed at Harley-Davidson pro-business or even proAmerica? With friends like Trump, American industry doesn’t need any enemies. The root of the problem is the basic problem with Trump: He is a profoundly ignorant blow+ hard. His solution to complicated problems is calling attention to himself with simple-minded, bombastic threats—the more extreme, the bet+ ter. Listening to experts is for chumps. Trump showed he knew absolutely nothing about mu+ tually destructive trade wars when he declared: “Trade wars are good and easy to win.”

Driving Jobs Out of America

As a far more passionate supporter of work+ ing-class Americans than any self-centered billionaire, I’m not about to argue in favor of U.S. corporations shipping jobs overseas to cut expenses. But for Harley-Davidson, it’s clearly Trump’s ill-conceived trade war driving Harley jobs out of the country instead of creating them in America. Trump started it by imposing a stiff tariff on foreign steel imports, costing American

manufacturers—including Harley-Davidson— millions of dollars. It’s called a trade !"# because unilateral tar+ iffs immediately start back-and-forth retaliation and escalation on every side. The European Union—Harley’s second largest market after the U.S.—responded with a whopping tariff on American-made motorcycles, adding $2,200 to the average cost of a bike. The only way Har+ ley says it can survive “immediate and lasting detrimental impact” on its business from those killing tariffs is to move more production jobs out of America—exactly the opposite of what Trump intended. And this is just the first week of mounting ca+ sualties in what could be a long and punishing economic world war that will make it difficult to tell the winners from the losers among the bloody, dismembered remains strewn across the battlefield.

Hits Coming from Every Direction

As all sides keep escalating tariffs to punish each other, their own people get hit from every direction. U.S. companies—and farmers, too, by the way—sell fewer products abroad and make less money as exactly the same thing happens to other countries selling fewer products to the lucrative U.S. market. Meanwhile, everyone ev+ erywhere pays higher prices while earnings and jobs dwindle. The greatest danger is pushing the growing U.S. economy Trump inherited into an+ other disastrous worldwide recession. This is not theoretical. The last Republican president to impose high tariffs on foreign steel imports to try to create more American steel jobs

was George W. Bush in 2002. Bush abruptly ended them a year-and-a-half later, but not be+ fore a tit-for-tat trade war destroyed 200,000 jobs in American businesses using steel, according to a later study. The Bush administration ended di+ sastrously in the nation’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Here’s a scary current study for you. The Trade Partnership—the same research firm tracking those 200,000 American jobs lost from Bush’s steel tariffs—estimates Trump’s trade ac+ tions so far will destroy 16 jobs for every one job gained, creating 26,280 steel and aluminum jobs compared with 432,747 jobs lost throughout the rest of the economy. That’s why opposition is increasing from conservative Republicans like Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch complaining about steel fabricators in his state losing contracts and delaying “multimil+ lion-dollar investments for new manufacturing plants that employ thousands of workers;” and Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley bemoaning the total collapse of the soybean market in the Midwest. Even House Speaker Paul Ryan—a shameless Trump sycophant as his current political career winds down—opposes Trump’s unilateral tariffs on foreign goods as harmful to American work+ ers, including those at Harley-Davidson. Trump is counting on his working-class sup+ porters continuing to cheer his tough talk as their jobs disappear. We’ll see about that. As the acer+ bic H.L. Mencken—one of the most influential American writers of the early 20th century— once observed: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” !Comment at shepherdexpress.com. n

Bavarian Bierhaus

Bavarian Bierhaus Serves German Specialties (With an Indoor Beer Garden)

The food menu is as expansive as the space, at least compared to other beer gardens that don’t go much beyond snacks and sausages. German dishes, ranging from traditional to maybe-slightly-German-influenced make up the menu. A basket of soft pretzels and beer cheese dip ($11) and a Bavarian meat and cheese board ($12) are popular apps for sharing. Bierhaus wings ($10) are available in buffalo, barbecue, a nicely balanced honey sriracha sauce, or Barenjager, which our server described as a German teriyaki. The Bierhaus schnitzel ($17) is one of the more traditional and popular entrées. The portion size is hefty: My plate contained two wide, thin pieces of breaded pork, and sides of butter spätzle and fried cabbage. A topping is included in the price; choices include ham and beer cheese sauce, an apple craisin compote and, my choice, a creamy mushroom gravy. The pork was fork tender with bread::BY LACEY MUSZYNSKI crumbs that were crisp and clung to the meat.

Bratwursts come on have a welcoming and boisterous atmosphere—and the a pretzel bun with sauerkraut ($10) or in a wurstplate ($19) assortment along with beer doesn’t hurt, either. bierwurst, knackwurst, chicken bratwurst and sides. The problem with beer gardens, though, is that the “garOn the not-terribly-German side are baby back ribs ($15-$20), blackened den” in that equation is usually literal: Most of Milwaukee’s salmon ($19) and chicken fingers ($12). The burgermeister’s meisterburger ($13) beer gardens are either completely or mostly outdoors. And tops a hefty grilled beef patty with shaved ham, shredded roast pork, bacon, onwhile that’s ideal in summer and fall, what happens in winter, ion straws and beer cheese sauce. The patty was cooked to the requested medium or when the weather just isn’t cooperative? That’s where and full of backyard grill flavor.

Finding Soul Food at The Hideaway

Reese Madigan (left) in ‘Born Yesterday,’ 2018

!""#"$%&'()&*$+",-.#$&. /0"1(2&*$34&5"1#$67"&.1" ::BY ANNE SIEGEL

ollowing in the footsteps of other Milwaukee actors, Reese Madigan is looking forward to spending his first summer onstage at American Players Theatre (APT) in Spring Green, Wis. Except it turns out that Madigan is not from Milwaukee. He’s a New York native who grew up in a small town north of Manhattan. He first graced local stages decades ago, and currently he is an associate artist with Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Madigan has appeared in 16 Rep productions over the years, most recently as the impoverished clerk Bob Cratchit in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (a role he will reprise this December). He also has been seen at other Milwaukee theaters, such as Next Act and Renaissance Theaterworks. Among his favorite roles at the Milwaukee Rep, Madigan lists the troubled Brick in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof (1999-2000 season); Biff, a wayward son, in Death of a Salesman (2010-11 season) and legendary Green Bay Packers player Paul Hornung in Lombardi! (2011-12).

But even if he’s only an occasional Milwaukee resident, he says the town is one of his favorite places to be. “It’s where most of my friends are,” he said during a phone interview held during a break between rehearsals in Spring Green. Like so many things in life, the chance to act in Spring Green came unexpectedly. Earlier this year, he was asked by APT favorite Colleen Madden to audition for the role of Paul, a tutor whose goal is to add some refinement to Billie Dawn (played by Colleen Madden) in Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday. At the time, Madden was appearing in Black Pearl Sings! on the Rep’s cabaret stage, and Madigan was working with Renaissance Theaterworks. Madigan must have given one heck of an audition, because he was offered a job on the spot. “It was Reese’s willingness to ‘play’ in his scenes with Colleen, as well as the connection between them, that came across in the audition,” said APT Artistic Director Brenda DeVita, who will be directing Born Yesterday. (As Paul, Madden’s tutor, Madigan eventually falls in love with her.) Offering a contract immediately after an audition isn’t something DeVita does very often. “I can only imagine a few cases [where I’ve done it] in the past 20 years,” she said. “We had auditioned a lot of people for that part. A lot of people. It was really clear to me that he was the one for the part.” Also, DeVita said, Madigan had “great recommendations from everyone I talked to about him. That speaks volumes.” Madigan describes his character in Born Yesterday as “a man who takes himself seriously. He’s intelligent, and he knows it. As an educator, he’s a passionate crusader for truth. He loves literature, language and learning—but he hates ignorance.” It’s the first time Madigan has tackled this manyfaceted character. In addition to his key role in Born Yesterday, Madigan will also have a small part in another APT show, William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. “That is part of being in a repertory company [filling big and small roles], and I love it,” Madigan said. APT will be a “new chapter” for Madigan. Previously, he has worked on Broadway, Off-Broadway and at established regional theater companies from Louisville to Arizona. Both of Madigan’s APT shows will be held outdoors at the Hill Theatre, so named for the challenging hill one must climb to reach the stage (vans are provided for the elderly and disabled). As the stage lights dim and the stars come out in Spring Green, Madigan may feel as though his career is coming full circle. His first “professional” performance was as a cast member in Shakespeare in the Park, produced by The Public Theater under the direction of the late Joe Papp. It was a thrilling experience for the 22-year-old Madigan, he says. One senses the same excitement when Madigan talks about Born Yesterday, which plays through Sept. 22 at APT. One of the theater’s taglines is, “Come play in the woods.” Madigan is set to do exactly that.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

THURSDAY, JULY 5

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit @ BMO Harris Pavilion, Summerfest, 10 p.m.

Singer-songwriter Jason Isbell first caught the attention of Southern rock fans as a late addition to the cultishly beloved group Drive-By Truckers. He played with the group for six years, contributing some unforgettable songs to their mid-’00s records, although it wasn’t until he left the band to pursue a solo career in 2007 that he really came into his own as a songwriter, earning acclaim for unrelentingly honest records like 2013’s Southeastern, which he filled with songs about addiction, illness and sexual abuse. But it was his 2017 album The Nashville Sound, recorded with his band the 400 Unit, that cemented him as a bona fide country star. It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2017 Country Music Awards and won Best Americana Album at this year’s Grammys.

DJ Jazzy Jeff @ Johnson Controls World Sound Stage, Summerfest, 10 p.m.

There’s no separating Jeffrey Allen Townes, better known as DJ Jazzy Jeff, from his more famous counterpart Will Smith. Together they created an upbeat, family friendly spin on hip-hop that helped widen the audience for rap music and usher Smith into superstardom after he landed the lead role in the NBC sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” where Jazzy Jeff had a supporting role. But where Smith increasingly focused on acting, Jeff stayed true to his musical roots, releasing a series of mixtapes that put the emphasis on old-school turntablism. This spring he released a new album, M3, which features several guest verses from rapper Rhymefest.

FRIDAY, JULY 6

Børns @ Miller Lite Oasis, 10:15 p.m.

Børns is the exotic stage name of Garrett Borns, a singer from the decidedly un-exotic hometown of Grand Haven, Mich. Maybe it’s because of his ordinary upbringing that his music conveys such a sense of fantasy. His glammy blend of soul and rock feels like it was piped in from a daydream, and it’s no coincidence that its aesthetic mirrors the retro/modern hybrid of Lana Del Rey. His 2015 debut album Dopamine was recorded with producer Emile Haynie, who worked on Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die, and featured the euphoric single that put him on the map, “Electric Love.” On his new 2018 album Blue Madonna, he offers an even glammier, poppier spin on the same sound, while recruiting Lana Del Rey herself for the opener “God Save Our Young blood.” 20 | J U LY 5 , 2 0 1 8

Janelle Monáe

FRIDAY, JULY 6

Janelle Monáe @ BMO Harris Pavilion, 9:45 p.m.

Soul singer Janelle Monáe turned heads with her 2010 full-length debut, The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III), an epic and eccentric mélange of funk, hip-hop and glam-rock that plays out as an eccentric science-fiction fantasy. What a joy it is to see that, even as the singer has raised her profile with mainstream acting roles in movies like Moonlight and Hidden Figures, she hasn’t lost her iconoclastic spirit. Inspired by Prince, her latest album, Dirty Computer is a concept record that plays out as a joyful, 49-minute celebration of sexual fluidity—it may be her wildest album yet.

The Flaming Lips @ Harley-Davidson Roadhouse, 10 p.m.

After the fluke success of their 1994 single “She Don’t Use Jelly,” The Flaming Lips emerged as one of the few bands of the alternative-rock era to reinvent themselves for indie-rock audiences, using their major-label budget to create lavish, uplifting experimental rock albums like 1999’s The Soft Bulletin and 2002’s Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and earning a reputation for their celebratory, prop-heavy live shows. Even as that band has explored darker, more psychedelic territory on their most recent albums, they’ve retained their trademark sense of mischief.! !

SATURDAY, JULY 7

The Weeknd w/ Big Boi @ American Family Mutual Insurance Amphitheater, 7:30 p.m.

At some point Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, decided it wasn’t enough to be an R&B star, he wanted to be a massive pop star in the mold of Michael Jackson, and with his 2015 album Beauty Behind the Madness and 2016’s Starboy and big dance-minded hits like “I Can’t Feel My Face,” he came remarkably close. There’s still a tension in Tesfaye’s music between his massappeal ambitions and his miserabilist tendencies—and sometimes he lets the latter get the best of him. His latest EP, My Dear Melancholy, is a total buzz kill. For this show, he’ll be joined by a rap veteran who knows how to bring the party: Big Boi of OutKast fame. SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Cheap Trick

SUNDAY, JULY 8

Cheap Trick @ BMO Harris Pavilion, 9:45 p.m.

Cheap Trick is an honorary local band. The group came out of Rockford, Ill., in the mid ’70s, but they played so often in Milwaukee clubs that they felt like a local band. They were hometown heroes here and throughout the Upper Midwest from ChampaignUrbana, Ill., through La Crosse, Wis. Their 1977 self-titled debut LP was greeted with jubilation in these parts (even if it sold few copies outside the region) and vindicated a Midwest work ethic of hard-touring, play-every-bar rock ’n’ roll. Though their late-career sales haven’t matched those of some of the other goliaths of their era, Cheap Trick has stood the test of time better than most bands spawned by the ’70s’ hard rock movement. Last year, they released a chipper new album, their 18th, We’re All Alright! ! !

Phantogram

SATURDAY, JULY 7

Phantogram @ Miller Lite Oasis, Summerfest, 10:15 p.m.

Alternative rock is saturated with synth-pop bands right now, most of them offering plenty in the way of pleasant, candy-colored spectacle but little in the way of substance or originality. The New York duo Phantogram, however, offers a genuinely unique take on the sound, combining the eerie mystique of Blonde Redhead, the grand shoegaze of M83 and the sensual charge of Serge Gainsbourg with bold, kinetic hip-hop loops of the sort Pete Rock, J Dilla and Madlib pioneered. It’s that generous dose of hip-hop that distinguishes their third and most recent album, 2016’s Three, which contrasts sleek, fizzy pop with gritty beats.

TUESDAY, JULY 10

Poetry in the Park @ Juneau Park, 6:30 p.m.

Once again for its free Poetry in the Park event, Juneau Park has rounded up four prominent Milwaukee wordsmiths. This installment includes Bryon Cherry, who is also a musician, along with two co-executive directors of Woodland Pattern Book Center: Jenny Gropp and Laura Solomon. Poet Sue Blaustein rounds out the evening. Guest are encouraged to bring kids, pets, blankets, snacks and beverages.

SUNDAY, JULY 8

The Pretenders w/ The Rails @ The Riverside Theater, 8 p.m.

Arcade Fire w/ Manchester Orchestra @ American Family Mutual Insurance Amphitheater, 7:30 p.m.

Rock has never seen a singer like Chrissie Hynde, the tough-as-nails frontwoman for The Pretenders. She’s always been the face of the band, but on their most recent studio effort, 2016’s Alone, she is the band—she spearheaded the sessions along with producer Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, who recruited members of his group The Arcs to serve as her backing band. The only other remaining original member of the band, drummer Martin Chambers, sat out this album, although he still performs with the group on the road.

ANTON CORBIJN

Arcade Fire’s return to Milwaukee is long overdue: The Canadian band hasn’t played Milwaukee since they headlined the small Riverwest club Mad Planet in 2004, long before they were one of the biggest and most iconic bands in indie-rock. The group is coming off of a bit of a humbling year that saw their latest album, Everything Now, get largely shrugged off by critics and an audacious, satirical promotional campaign for the album blow up in their faces. But that doesn’t undo their previous accomplishments (including a 2011 Album of the Year Grammy for The Suburbs). And although Everything Now isn’t one of their best, it’s still a bright, pleasurable album that reveals its treasures over time, and these new songs should lend themselves well to Arcade Fire’s signature, grandiose stage treatment.

Ballet Beat

Filling the month of July, Milwaukee Ballet presents Ballet Beat, an allcommunity program of surprise pop-up performances, family events, dance and fitness classes, and rehearsal viewings leading to a free grand finale performance at the Marcus Center’s Peck Pavilion at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 26. That performance will include classical and contemporary works and feature world premieres by company choreographers Garrett Glassman, Timothy O’Donnell and Petr Zahradnícek. The dancers are Randy Crespo, Marie Harrison-Collins, Joe Cook, Elizabeth Harrison, Itzel Hernandez and Luis Mondragon from the main company, along with Isaac Allen and Eliza Schwartz from the company’s professional training program, MBII. “It’s running around town doing a million things,” says Alyson Chavez, Milwaukee Ballet’s community outreach director. “We get to be part of the fun of Milwaukee in summer, to show that we’re accessible and you can see us outside in your shorts. It’s technically hard dancing but also fun for the dancers. It highlights dancers that don’t always get the spotlight. It gives them opportunities to do things you won’t see on the main stage.” There are child friendly “Ballet Storytime” sessions at public libraries and Discovery World, improvisation classes and movement games among the Marcus Center’s Kidz Days festivities, barre workouts using Milwaukee River railings, Pilates classes in the lobby of the 411 Building on Wisconsin Avenue and ballet classes at Bastille Days. There are pop-up performances at unexpected sites and a week of open rehearsals for the finale on the Peck stage. Visit milwaukeeballet.org for descriptions, locations and schedule.

“The script may be 400 years old, but the tale is timeless,” explains Lisa Gaye Dixon, director of Optimist Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park production of King Lear. In the story—which William Shakespeare fleshed out from tales of a legendary pre-Roman Celtic king of Britain—the title character gradually descends into madness after he has bequeathed his kingdom to his conniving and manipulative trio of daughters. Lear’s plot “illustrates the human condition… [It’s] about love, tenderness, arrogance, foolhardiness, stubbornness and, finally, redemption,” Dixon says. Its “themes make us think about the loyalty of the few we sometimes overlook—family and friends—while seeking something else that’s ever out of reach.” She explains that her direction of King Lear “always looks for the relatable moments of lightness, from wry irony to downright slapstick,” in addition to nailing the work’s more serious themes. James Pickering, a legend of the Milwaukee theater stage and a founding company member of Milwaukee’s Shakespeare in the Park in 2010, appears in the title role. The sizeable cast also includes such local notables as J.T. Backes, Molly Corkins, David Sapiro and Jonathan Wainwright. (John Jahn) July 5-21 at the Marcus Center’s Peck Pavilion, located on the corner of Kilbourn Avenue and Water Street on the Downtown Riverwalk. Admission is free.

A&E::VISUALART

Mary Nohl’s Winning Artists on View at Haggerty Museum ::BY SHANE MCADAMS

t’s not a stretch to say that the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists has become something of a brass ring in Milwaukee’s visual art community. It offers $20,000 to two “established” artists and $10,000 to three “emerging” practitioners, which is a great windfall in a community not known for its commercial vigor. The most recent winners are currently on view at the Haggerty Museum of Art through Aug. 5, as is a supplemental show honoring fellows from the past 15 years. !The “established” awardees are both wellrespected local ambassadors. Lois Bielefeld’s work approaches the personal with a documentarian’s distance and a photographer’s empathy. The photographs in her “Celebration” series initially appear intimate, tender and candid. Something’s off, though. They’re too perfect to be slices of pure reality. And as it turns out, they are staged events. Emry’s Tea Party (2018) features a young girl hosting a large stuffed bear for tea. Like the other photos, it’s an artful recreation of an actual event. There’s no tangible “tell” to let the viewer know that what they are seeing is a dramatic reenactment, but the wizard behind the curtain will be sensed if not seen. Bielefeld’s artistic wizardry leaves in enough verité to keep us guessing about their nature and in the process addresses weightier issues about artistic authorship and the integrity of visual media. Tom Berenz’s paintings reside in a twilight zone between process-driven abstraction and symbolic personal narrative. His paintings don’t just happen to live in between, they are designed to, dexterously exploiting the marSHEPHERD EXPRESS

gins between the formal and the literal. He deputizes familiar motifs—gingham, plaid, floral patterns, stylized socks—in the service of abstraction. Or vice-versa. Are the stockinged legs in Bedtime Socks (2018) braided shapes snaking towards a formal crescendo? Or are they the visual literature of a waking fever dream? Both and neither; they are seen then read, then seen again, continuously unsettled. The work of the emerging artists is more of a mixed bag. The life-size and casually staged genre portraits of Ariana Vaeth have all the hows of painting, but the whats are still becoming. As in, “What might this unusual gift for moving paint around be best equipped to tell us?” Probably something more than stories of her and her friends eating takeout, but that will work itself out in time. Sara Caron’s Unknown Potters, is the most categorically amorphous work in the show— an arrangement of makeshift fountains constructed of found and borrowed pottery that happens to also function as a site for ritualized social gatherings. The social aspect of her work might puzzle viewers unaware of her many other relational projects. But work that merges art and life so thoroughly has always faced this problem. Caron might have something to say about social ecology. Maybe about relational esthetics. Or the readymade. But its meta-intention I suspect is more about anti-monumentalism and archness as a form of institutional critique. Sky Hopinka’s new media installations are 180-degrees from arch. His “Fainting Spells” #s 1, 4, and 5 transport the viewer through a series of haunting soundscapes, trippy video loops, and lines of poetry addressing loss, longing and his relationship to his Native American ancestry. With much diaristic, confessional and/or identity-based work, viewers sometimes feel as if they’ve accidentally found themselves sifting through the artist’s psychic dirty linens. Hopinka avoids these pitfalls and anything like solipsism simply by being intelligent and sincere. The “Nohl Fellowship at 15” exhibition is a little scattered and uneven, exhibiting dozens of individual works that require greater context than they are afforded. And it’s shoehorned into a space too small to hold it, accentuating the problems. Rather than punish the exhibition for these shortcomings, though, we might instead celebrate it as a reflection of the riotous (formal) diversity of the Milwaukee art world as seen through 15 years of the Mary Nohl Individual Artist Fellowships. Because if there’s anything we can say for sure, it’s that Milwaukee’s art world is feral, fertile and fiercely independent, and anyone familiar with Mary Nohl knows that she wouldn’t have it any other way.

A&E::FILM

[ FILM CLIPS ] Ant-Man and the Wasp PG-13 Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) recruits Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) to help rescue his wife, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), from the “quantum realm.” Winging her way into Janet’s Wasp suit is her daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly), Lang’s partner for the retrieval mission. Villain Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins) wants control over the lab used by the pair to enter the socalled “quantum universe;” this should be no surprise, since it is here that Pym learned to grow things in size as well as to shrink them down. Like the first film, this one is helmed by director Peyton Reed. Neither the plot nor our heroes’ problems are treated seriously. Though the film’s special effects are a riot, Ant-Man’s sarcasm remains the film’s reason to exist. (Lisa Miller)

Hoping to reduce escalating crime, all crimes are legal during an event termed “the first purge,” but only on impoverished Staten Island, N.Y. The New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) hatch this scheme to rid society of its most dangerous criminals. Government soldiers (disguised as civilians) carry out the executions; however, being innocent affords no protection. Functioning as a poster child for the Black Lives Matter movement, this prequel to the Purge films spends a lot of its time making sure we get the important and highly topical message. (L.M.)

Uncle Drew PG-13 Planning to cash in on a $100,000 grand prize, Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is determined to field a team for the annual Rucker Classic street ball tournament. He recruits old Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving), who insists on choosing the team’s members. Drew’s shag-carpeted orange van is pressed into service for a cross-state road trip meant to pluck elderly players from nursing homes and menial jobs. To portray septuagenarians, Irving, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber and others don shamelessly bad wigs, facial hair and facial prosthetics that, thankfully, don’t interfere with their game. Sadly, the seniors’ comeback aspirations are all too frequently benched in favor of Dax’s dull romantic crushes. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] The Great Silence

The Great Silence (1968) opens on a blinding white snowfield broken only by the advance of a tiny horseman. They call him Silence (Jean-Luis Trintignant) and riffing on Clint Eastwood, he says nothing as he kills. But he’s the good guy in this visually poetic spaghetti western by director Serio Corbucci. The bad guy, Loco (Klaus Kinski), is a bounty hunter who’d rather bring ’em back dead than alive. Ennio Morricone provides the eerie score.

A Bucket of Blood

In Roger Corman’s 1959 spoof of the Beat Generation, Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) is a none-too-bright busboy at a coffeehouse where second-string Ginsbergs hold forth and murder ballads are sung. Every jive-talker in the joint wants to be “creative.” Walter, the failed sculptor, gains recognition after dipping the things he kills in clay. “It expresses modern man in all his self-pity” gushes a fan. The black-and-white cinematography is cool and the acting is spot on.

The Woman in the Window

Edward G. Robinson maintains a Sphinx-like expression as bad goes to worse in this 1944 film noir by Fritz Lang. He encounters an enchantress (Joan Bennett) who turns out to have an angry sugar daddy. Robinson kills him in self-defense, clumsily disposes of the body and waits as the evidence of his guilt accumulates. And then the blackmailer appears. The Woman in the Window’s final twist is disappointing but it’s suspenseful and surprising as anxiety builds.

Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris

The extras on the Blu-ray release explain the ambitious concept underlying this 1975 production of the cabaret show Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. It was part of the American Film Theatre subscription series, a kind of analogue Amazon Prime with purpose-made films shown in movie theaters across the country. All were based on stage plays. The budgets were modest but AFT had no trouble recruiting top-flight actors and crew. —David Luhrssen

How Tesla Invented the Modern Age ::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN

Differently engineered generators transmitted electricity at different frequencies. America’s titan of invention, Thomas Edison, was selling DC (Direct Current), whose one-directional charge could be transmitted no further than a mile and was useful mostly in districts whose occupants could afford to install their own generators. Into this mess stepped a visionary, the Serbian inventor Nikola Telsa. He foresaw that electricity, if democratically distributed, would power the world and make possible inventions no one (except maybe Tesla?) could imagine. As biographer Richard Munson notes in his instructive !"#$%&'()*")+,-',.'+/"'0,12 "-)'(W.W. Norton), the inventor as a young man suffered “episodes of seeing things with strobing intensity” and visions credited with “allowing him to vividly see and manipulate inventions in his head.” The son of an Eastern Orthodox priest, Tesla was a dreamy child wandering the cathedral of nature while being drilled by his father in rigorous mental exercises. Although many engineer-technicians in many countries tinkered in the same field, Tesla finally enabled the reliable delivery of high frequency, high-voltage electricity and championed the system commonly used today, AC (Alternating Current). He invented the technology of radio before Guglielmo Marconi. While endowed with a strong work ethic, Tesla wasn’t always savvy enough to swim with the sharks he encountered. He frequently lost money and credit to more entrepreneurial men such as Edison and George Westinghouse. Even so, he earned millions of dollars in today’s money—and spent it all on new experiments and an exquisitely eccentric style of life. Tesla’s mind was always roving. He demonstrated a model boat driven by remote control in 1898 and naively hoped its military application would end warfare. Tesla also imagined robots to relieve men of “laborious work” and foresaw artificial intelligence. He was also a showman who amazed audiences with a glowing tube that looked like George Lucas’ lightsaber. !(-#"0)&%2'-"#(-%"%&('&+"&"$*"-"%&+2'&%"8 clining years in the 1930s, Tesla imag2$"%&+(-$"''2$#&5.'325&-()'&*.& shoot down aircraft and a pocketsize device capable of destroying buildings. But he was taken seriously enough for Communist agents and the forerunner of the CIA to sift through his papers after his death in New York City in 1943, searching for clues. He died poor, not entirely forgotten but eclipsed in popular memory by Edison, his rival and onetime employer. However, Tesla has captured the imagination of the young and creative in recent years. David Bowie played him on film and his name has been adopted by a rock band and by Elon Musk for his electric car. Tesla would not have advocated STEM education but STEAM—Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. After all, he envisioned his AC motor while walking in a park reciting poems by Goethe.

::BY JENNI HERRICK

iction has the power to transport people to undiscovered places and open doors to new realities, but for those who love to read, being asked to name the best-loved American novel can be a difficult and potentially polarizing question. More than 7,000 Americans were polled on that very topic, and the survey results include both long-standing literary classics as well as popular contemporary titles, spanning a range of fictional genres and covering centuries of work. An upcoming eight-part PBS series called “The Great American Read” will explore the stories behind the top 100 works of fiction, which include favorites from The Clan of the Cave Bear to Wuthering Heights and War and Peace (and where series with multiple titles, such as Game of Thrones and Harry Potter, are counted as a single title, in order to add variety and diversity to the list). “The Great American Read” television series uses America’s best-loved novels as a platform to encourage reading, thoughtful reflection and community conversations. In anticipation of the PBS broadcasts, which debuted on May 22 and will return this fall for seven additional episodes, Boswell Book Co. proprietor Daniel Goldin will appear at the store in conversation with a Milwaukee PBS representative at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11. The literary-minded pair will banter around their thoughts on America’s top 100 all-time favorite novels and further preview the fall television series that is set to feature both best-selling authors and book lovers alike. The first 40 people to register and attend the in-store event will receive a $5 gift certificate to use toward any “Great American Read” novel. More information can be found at pbs.org/the-great-american-read/home/.

ince its opening in October of 2017, Elle Studio + Wellness has brought a different kind of philosophy to Milwaukee by providing talk therapy in tandem with fitness, yoga, massage, mindfulness classes, child supervision and other services that foster physical and mental well-being. Off the Cuff spoke with founder Emily Keeling about the different approach that Elle Studio + Wellness takes to a strong body and mind.

How did Elle Studio + Wellness come to be? I have been a mental health therapist for the past 10 years, listening to people’s struggles and needs. An overarching theme has emerged among young adults I’ve met through my practice: They were keen to know and understand effective coping mechanisms for anxiety, in particular, and they weren’t afraid to ask for it. Unlike previous generations, they would admit to telling their friends that they couldn’t make it to happy hour because they had a therapy appointment, and their friends replied “Hey, I see a therapist too!” I wanted to create a place that highlighted and honored this shift in perspective. So, I put mental health treatment in the center of a beautifully designed, modern facility located in an up-andcoming neighborhood—Walker’s Point—boasting no stigmas and an array of supplemental services. We believe it’s an important step to have the courage to talk to someone about improving your life, and we also believe in putting the skills you learn into action as a practice and a lifestyle. Elle offers all of that under one roof. How does the combination of talk therapy with fitness, yoga, nutrition and massage help foster not only physical but mental well-being? Physical and mental well-being correlate with one another. Anxiety is such a perfect example of this. If you are experiencing it, you are not only having anxious thoughts, you’re also having physiological symptoms. You have to learn how to calm your mind and your body because the two feed off one another. If you focus only on the physical, you are missing out on a huge piece of the puzzle—talk therapy will get you the rest of the way by teaching you how to cope with the anxious thoughts. It’s inspiring to see the transformation in our clients who can then main-

tain their progress through the use of our yoga and mindfulness classes as well as massage therapy. How is support from the community, as well as supporting the community, important to you? I grew up here and I have a deep love for this city, so I couldn’t imagine setting out on this mission to shift perceptions around mental health anywhere other than Milwaukee. Some people who see us on social media tell us how glad they are that we aren’t located in California or Colorado, that we are right here in their hometown. I take pride in being there for people who thought a place like Elle was too far out of reach, physically or otherwise. Among our closest relationships and, more broadly, the welcome we have received has reinforced for me that this community is ready for us. My hope is that these services go from being “unique” to becoming the standard for other communities. Why is this new approach to wellness so crucial for our everevolving society? Where society used to be in its understanding of mental health is terrifying. We have thankfully evolved, and the concept of holistic health is at the forefront of our understanding now. At Elle, we believe that placing mental health at the center is highly effective and, in some ways, unparalleled. This is crucial because people are asking for help, and we have a responsibility to be there for them. When we’re cared for—starting with how we care for ourselves and then extend to others—we are more confident and empowered to discover and pursue our full potential, and by evolving ourselves, society benefits and evolves as well. Unfortunately, we live in a world that inherently suffers. That has and will always be the case for the human condition. So, it is counter intuitive that people have been afraid to express their more difficult emotions. It takes extremely tragic events to see people break through this barrier and come together. We need the conversation now more than ever to continue breaking down the stigma, allow us all to be human and learn how to cope with our suffering as a proactive measure against tragedy.

Gin Blossoms

!"#$%&'$()*++*,+$ -#.*''#./$0&/"$ !"#&1$-**/+ !::BY EVAN RYTLEWSKI

he Gin Blossoms’ early good fortune was overshadowed by tragedy. Just as the Tempe, Ariz., alternative band was beginning to chart with their breakout 1993 singles “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You,” the ex-guitarist who wrote those songs, Doug Hopkins, committed suicide. The band’s success became so intertwined with Hopkins’ death that they titled their 1996 album Congratulations I’m Sorry after the strange mix of simultaneous congratulations and condolences that well-wishers directed their way. The band broke up the following year. Since reuniting in the early ’00s, the group has put behind them the friction and drama of their early years. They’ve toured aggressively, becoming mainstays of summer festivals around the country, yet they’ve recorded only infrequently. In June they released their first album in eight years, Mixed Reality, which they recorded with producers Don Dixon and Mitch Easter, the same team behind R.E.M.’s first LPs, Murmur and Reckoning. Ahead of the Gin Blossoms’ return appearance at Summerfest on Saturday, July 7, singer Robin Wilson chatted with the Shepherd Express about working with those jangle-pop legends, his new side gig fronting The Smithereens and why the Gin Blossoms beat the hell out of Deep Blue Something.

How did you end up recording with Don Dixon and Mitch Easter for this record? We met Don when we were on tour two years ago. We were playing in Ohio and he came to one of the shows. Then, a few months later, we started talking about making a record, and immediately I said we should call Don Dixon and see if we could record with him. And once we had Don on board, he suggested we go to North Carolina and record at Mitch Easter’s studio. So, once we knew we were recording with Don and Mitch, all of us were motivated to do it right, to turn in our best performances and bring our best material. Working with the two of them is in a lot of ways something that we would have wanted to do when we were 20 years old. All the records they were making as we formed the Gin Blossoms helped us become the Gin Blossoms. And I know that I was personally tapped into a younger version of myself while writing the songs. I wanted to make the kind of record we would have made in 1990. Does being in the Gin Blossoms completely scratch your itch for making music, or are there sounds and ideas you feel like you can’t explore in this band? There are other things I’m interested in. I’m a big metal guy, and I love punk rock. But the Gin Blossoms come together to sort of do something pretty unique. So, for the most part, I’m satisfied as a musician being in the Gin Blossoms, but I am doing some other stuff. I’m going to be doing some lead vocals for The Smithereens, so that’s a big thrill. And again, going back to when I was 20 years old, those Smithereens records were among my favorites, and they were produced by Don Dixon. It’s pretty amazing that we went from making a record with Don and then within a year of that I’m doing vocals for The Smithereens. It’s a pretty amazing coincidence and a sort of full circle validation of the path I’ve been on as a musician. Gin Blossoms always seemed to me like a band that each listener could take something entirely different away from. Some seem to connect with the music itself, which is really sweet and goes down really easy, and others seem to connect to the lyrics, which have a little more of a bite to them. What do you notice listeners responding to the most? I don’t know. I suppose it’s the whole thing, you know? When I’m singing, people are paying attention to me. But when those guys fire up the guitar solos, you see people get more excited. You know, nobody applauds when I start singing the second verse. They applaud when the guitar solo fires up, because that’s a big moment for everyone emotionally.

The Gin Blossoms

Summerfest’s Uline Warehouse Saturday, July 7, 10 p.m.

What’s the secret to keeping those songs fresh on the road after all those years? Well, I suppose the secret is not being a jaded asshole [laughs]. Just being grateful to have a body of work that people want to listen to and that people respond to, and that means something. Being grateful for being in a band—that’s part of the big rock ’n’ roll story.

Are there bands that take that for granted? I’m sure there are. But it’s rare to have the level of connection that we have with our audience and our songs have with people. Even for other bands that have hits, it sometimes feels that people have a deeper connection with our music than they do to some other things. I suppose it just comes down to the quality of the work. Of course, people are going to respond more to “Found Out About You” than they are “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” you know? The Gin Blossoms play Summerfest’s Uline Warehouse on Saturday, July 7, at 10 p.m. For a much longer version of this interview, visit shepherdexpress.com.

The Law Offices of Gregory T. Ryan Lil Uzi Vert

Lil Uzi Vert Flexed His Charisma for an Enormous Summerfest Crowd ::BY EVAN RYTLEWSKI

t now seems almost quaint that Lil Uzi Vert was so widely scorned by old-guard hip-hop circles in 2016, when the excitable Philadelphia rapper became a shorthand for everything superficial about modern rap. Two years and one Lil Pump later, Uzi doesn’t look like such a pariah anymore, but he was never the affront to music that his detractors made him out to be. As vanguard rappers go, he’s one of the sharper ones: He’s got a wily delivery and inventive melodic instincts. His songs are sticky and buoyant, and although he knows how to turn a memorable phrase, he understands that a well-placed adlib can be just as impactful as the most eloquently written prose. And, as he demonstrated Wednesday night for an enormous, overflow crowd at Summerfest’s Harley-Davidson Roadhouse, he’s also one hell of a performer. That may be Uzi’s real selling point: Whether live or in the studio, he always sounds glad to be there, and his game spirit is a welcome change of pace in the Drake/Future era, where the default was for rappers to treat stardom as a burden and music as an outlet for misery. After all that gloom, it’s a pleasure to see a rap star genuinely stoked to command such a big stage. Even Uzi’s most dour tracks—“XO Tour Llif3,” his “all my friends are dead” song—exude a hyped-up, infectious energy. Backed by a shouty DJ, Uzi darted around the stage, did some wild-eyed dances, showed off his latest tattoos (a pair of bat wings over his shoulder blades) and just generally worked the crowd into a lather. Midway through the show he tried to goad his fans into starting a mosh pit, instructing them to “open up that middle!,” and they probably would have complied had there been any room to do so. (For reasons clear only to the promoters, Summerfest shies away from booking major rap acts on its Miller Lite Oasis main stage, even when their popularity clearly dictates it. Wednesday night’s Miller Lite Oasis headliner, the mid-tier electronic artist Alesso, played to a far smaller crowd with enviable breathing room.) At just 45 minutes, Uzi’s set was short but spirited, and fans didn’t have to wait long to hear the hits: He opened with “Sauce It Up” and played his breakthrough “Money Longer” just minutes later. By the half hour mark he was mining his big guest features, Migos’“Bad and Boujee” and Playboi Carti’s buzzy “Woke Up Like This.” He didn’t stick the landing. After playing “XO Tour Llif3” a second time, Uzi just sort of disappeared, slipping the stage without saying a word and leaving behind a DJ who seemed almost as confused as the crowd as to whether he intended to come back. So, for several minutes a sea of thousands of fans stood around, waiting—if not quite for an encore then at least for some clarification whether or not the show was over. Finally, the DJ cut the music and sheepishly packed up. It was an unceremonious end to a concert that, up until that moment, had felt like a real event, but sometimes less is more anyway. Filler is the death of a good rap show, and Lil Uzi Vert’s didn’t have any.

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY CANCER (June 21-July 22): An open letter to Cancerians from Rob Brezsny’s mother, Felice: I want you to know that I played a big role in helping my Cancerian son become the empathetic, creative, thoughtful, crazy character he is today. I nurtured his idiosyncrasies. I made him feel secure and well-loved. My care freed him to develop his unusual ideas and life. So as you read Rob’s horoscopes, remember that there’s part of me inside him. And that part of me is nurturing you just as I once nurtured him. I and he are giving you love for the quirky, distinctive person you actually are, not some fantasy version of you. I and he are helping you feel more secure and well-appreciated. Now I encourage you to cash in on all that support. As Rob has told me, it’s time for you Cancerians to reach new heights in your drive to express your unique self. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The ghost orchid is a rare white wildflower that disappeared from the British countryside around 1986. The nation’s botanists declared it officially extinct in 2005. But four years later, a tenacious amateur located a specimen growing in the West Midlands area. The species wasn’t gone forever, after all. I foresee a comparable revival for you in the coming weeks, Leo. An interesting influence or sweet thing that you imagined to be permanently defunct may return to your life. Be alert! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ancient Greek poet Sappho described “a sweetapple turning red high on the tip of the topmost branch.” The apple pickers left it there, she suggested, but not because they missed seeing it. It was just too high. “They couldn’t reach it,” wrote Sappho. Let’s use this scenario as a handy metaphor for your current situation, Virgo. I am assigning you the task of doing whatever is necessary to fetch that glorious, seemingly unobtainable sweet-apple. It may not be easy. You’ll probably need to summon extra ingenuity to reach it, as well as some as-yet-unguessed form of help. (The Sappho translation is by Julia Dubnoff.) LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there any prize more precious than knowing your calling? Can any other satisfaction compare with the joy of understanding why you’re here on earth? In my view, it’s the supreme blessing: to have discovered the tasks that can ceaselessly educate and impassion you; to do the work or play that enables you to offer your best gifts; to be intimately engaged with an activity that consistently asks you to overcome your limitations and grow into a more complete version of yourself. For some people, their calling is a job: marine biologist, kindergarten teacher, advocate for the homeless. For others, it’s a hobby, like long-distance-running, bird-watching or mountain-climbing. St. Therese of Lisieux said, “My calling is love!” Poet Marina Tsvetaeva said her calling was “To listen to my soul.” Do you know yours, Libra? Now is an excellent time to either discover yours or home in further on its precise nature. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you entertained any high-quality fantasies about faraway treasures lately? Have you delivered inquiring communiqués to any promising beauties who may ultimately offer you treats? Have you made long-distance inquiries about speculative possibilities that could be inclined to travel in your direction from their frontier sanctuaries? Would you consider making some subtle change in yourself so that you’re no longer forcing the call of the wild to wait and wait and wait? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If a downto-earth spiritual teacher advised you to go on a five-day meditation retreat in a sacred sanctuary, would you instead spend five days carousing with meth addicts in a cheap hotel? If a close friend confessed a secret she had concealed from everyone for years, would you unleash a nervous laugh and change the subject? If you read a horoscope that told you now is a favorable time to cultivate massive amounts of reverence, devotion, respect, gratitude, innocence and awe, would you quickly blank it out of your mind and check your Instagram and Twitter accounts on your phone? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical working couple devotes an average of four minutes per day to focused conversation

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

with each other. And it’s common for a child and parent to engage in meaningful communication for just 20 minutes per week. I bring these sad facts to your attention, Capricorn, because I want to make sure you don’t embody them in the coming weeks. If you hope to attract the best of life’s blessings, you will need to give extra time and energy to the fine art of communing with those you care about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Allergies, irritants, stings, hypersensitivities: Sometimes you can make these annoyances work in your behalf. For example, my allergy to freshly cut grass meant that when I was a teenager, I never had to waste my Saturday afternoons mowing the lawn in front of my family’s suburban home. And the weird itching that plagued me whenever I got into the vicinity of my first sister’s fiancé: If I had paid attention to it, I wouldn’t have lent him the $350 that he never repaid. So my advice, my itchy friend, is to be thankful for the twitch and the prickle and the pinch. In the coming days, they may offer you tips and clues that could prove valuable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you somehow growing younger? Your stride seems bouncier and your voice sounds more buoyant. Your thoughts seem fresher and your eyes brighter. I won’t be surprised if you buy yourself new toys or jump in mud puddles. What’s going on? Here’s my guess: You’re no longer willing to sleepwalk your way through the most boring things about being an adult. You may also be ready to wean yourself from certain responsibilities unless you can render them pleasurable at least some of the time. I hope so. It’s time to bring more fun and games into your life. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Twentieth-century French novelist Marcel Proust described 19th-century novelist Gustave Flaubert as a trottoire roulant, or “rolling sidewalk”: plodding, toneless, droning. Meanwhile, critic Roger Shattuck compared Proust’s writing to an “electric generator” from which flows a “powerful current always ready to shock not only our morality but our very sense of humanity.” In the coming weeks, I encourage you to find a middle ground between Flaubert and Proust. See if you can be moderately exciting, gently provocative and amiably enchanting. My analysis of the cosmic rhythms suggests that such an approach is likely to produce the best long-term results. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You remind me of Jack, the 9-year-old Taurus kid next door, who took up skateboarding on the huge trampoline his two moms put in their backyard. Like him, you seem eager to travel in two different modes at the same time. (And I’m glad to see you’re being safe; you’re not doing the equivalent of, say, having sex in a car or breakdancing on an escalator.) When Jack first began, he had difficulty in coordinating the bouncing with the rolling. But after a while he got good at it. I expect that you, too, will master your complex task. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): From the day you were born, you have been cultivating a knack for mixing and blending. Along the way, you have accomplished mergers that would have been impossible for a lot of other people. Some of your experiments in amalgamation are legendary. If my astrological assessments are accurate, the year 2019 will bring forth some of your all-time most marvelous combinations and unifications. I expect you are even now setting the stage for those future fusions; you are building the foundations that will make them natural and inevitable. What can you do in the coming weeks to further that preparation? Homework: Is there an area of your life where your effects are different from your intentions? Testify at freewillastrology.com.

regular essay here since I am presently blowing the dust and cobwebs off my résumé, such as it is, -cause I abso-focking-lutely would like to grab that vacant seat on the Supreme Court, you betcha. Pays $250 grand each and every year with plenty of time off, plus you get to wear a robe to work. Sign me up. Cripes, I’d like to be the Hugh Hefner of the court—show up in a swanky silk robe, a nice bour4 bon Manhattan in one hand, the other around the waist of my latest squeeze. Could be a sweet gig to swing the gavel, I kid you not. Of course, I’d need Trumpel-thinskin to give me the high sign to get on the court, which could prove a bit problematic since we don’t exactly see eye-toeye on, say, anything. Especially that immigration bug he’s got lodged up his fat ass sideways, what the fock. He’s like the Bizarro Mr. Rogers when it comes to the huddled masses, ain’a? “No way, José. You won’t be my neighbor.” What a complete fock4 stick that guy is. (Think he’d invite the Russian soc4 cer squad to the White House if they win the World Cup? Bet on it.) On the other hand, he could take a gander at the orange topgear I wear and be bamboozled into thinking I’m trying to emulate his hirsute style and take it as a compliment. But the bottom line is that I am as equally qualified to be a Supreme Court jus4 tice as the Orange Circus Peanut is to be president of the United States, so what the fock, what a world. And I’m hearing a load of yakety yak about how a reconfigured Trumpenstein Supreme Court would take a hard look at Roe v. Wade, which I thought was settled law for christ sakes. Hey, how long does this focking abortion uproar have to linger like hell’s hangover anyways, huh? Is there some

compromise that could be had here? Theoretically personally speaking, when I figure the cost of an abortion I might have to chip in on versus 18 years’ worth of youthful gym sneakers, I light a votive for Harry Blackmun. Yeah, whatever did happen to compromise any4 ways, I’d like to focking know. It could mean the best of both possible worlds: Abortion, OK, but maybe not according to the druthers of your most ideal time; so maybe instead of a second trimester thing, you’d wait ’til about the fifty-focking-second trimester, like when the kid’s about 13 and gives you some sass talk. Sure, that may seem late in the preg4 nancy to your average right-to-lifer who curiously is often gung-ho on the death penalty, so you could placate them by agreeing to meet them halfway and

let them execute young shoplifters and masturbators at around the age of 13, or something like that. People these days in all three branches of gov4 ernment have got to learn to compromise, like that great old American statesman Henry Clay. In Whitefish focking Bay, they even named a street af4 ter his butt. Nobody remembers what political party he belonged to, but party and Whitefish Bay don’t seem to go together anyways, so what the fock. So in conclusion, in the event that my essays may be used in some kind of school-age summertime .(:(1%-$#.(-1%)0#8."0.-:*#,(.(=&#-#$%''$(#.%11$(#',(# youngsters might enjoy: !"#$%&'()**+'#+,'"#+(&'-+' $)**&.'Give up?'/0)#11*'&+-$2 Ba-ding-ding-ding! ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
