love vinyl records. There’s something that’s just so pure about listening to music on a record, and I just love that scratching sound when the needle hits the vinyl. Truthfully, my appreciation of vinyl is a recent development. The only records I can really recall owning myself were the “Gremlin Adventures” bookand-record set and Disney’s “Mousercise,” both of which came out in the early ’80s. As a Led Zeppelin fan, I’ve owned the band’s untitled fourth album (known as “Led Zeppelin IV”) on vinyl years before I’d acquired a record player. At nearly 34, I grew up in a world many iPod-toting kids might consider the Dark Ages, a time when cassette tapes were the music format du jour. While CDs have been available commercially since 1982, they didn’t really become the standard until the mid-to-late ’80s when I was in grade school.

Over the past few years, vinyl has made a comeback as more and more stores are carrying records again — and more and more artists are releasing new music on them as well. I think a huge part of vinyl’s resurgence has been the advent of Record Store Day, which you can read more about in this week’s cover story on pages 40-41. Also in this week’s issue, read a review of the new album from Foo Fighters on page 18, find out who the honorees are for the Rainbow Awards, which will be held Saturday, April 16 at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, on page 50 and see what Scooter Girl found out when PennDOT took her behind construction barriers on page 56.

news of the weird By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS Laney Wallace, 16, won the beauty contest at the 53rd Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texas, in March and the next day fulfilled the first duty of her reign: to behead and skin a western diamondback. “You have to make sure you don’t pop the bladder,” the 2011 Miss Snake Charmer said shortly after taking a few swipes with a machete. “That (would be) a huge mess.” (Three years ago, News of the Weird informed readers of the annual beautycontest/muskrat-skinning festival in Maryland’s Eastern Shore region, in which the “beauty” part and the “skinning” part are separate — but in which that year, two teenage girls entered both, with Dakota Abbott edging out Samantha Phillips for the crown.) COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS -- Record companies have enjoyed recent successes in court by suing individuals who have shared music by trading files through specialized websites that avoid paying copyright licensing fees, including Lime Wire (which shut down last year). Thirteen record companies won a summary judgment last year, and, applying a formula they believe was set out in federal law, the companies demanded that Lime Wire pay damages of up to $75 trillion -an amount more than five times the entire national debt. In March 2011, a federal judge said the companies should modify the formula and lower their expectations. -- Waterloo, Iowa, schoolteacher Larry Twigg was arrested for “lascivious conduct” with a teenager, a crime that requires proof of “sexual motivation.” Though Twigg allegedly had a teenage boy strip, take a chocolate syrup “bath,” make a “snow angel” while in his underwear, and play a video game nude, his lawyer said in March that the court-appointed psychiatrist would testify that Twigg had no sexual motivation.
LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATORS -- In February, Wisconsin state Rep. Gordon Hintz was caught up in an ongoing investigation of prostitution at the Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor in Appleton that resulted in six arrests. Police merely issued Hintz a municipal citation (indicating that he might just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time). Nonetheless, Hintz refused to discuss the matter. “I am willing to take responsibility for my actions,” he said, but “(m)y concern right now” is not to be “distract(ed) from the much more important issue” of “stand(ing) up for Wisconsin’s working families.” -- People With Too Much Money: The average sale price of a home in Aspen, Colo., in 2010 was about $6 million, and as of early March 2011, the lowest-price single-family home
on the market there was listed at $559,000, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The home is located in a trailer park. UPDATE -- News of the Weird reported in November on the studly senior Shigeo Tokuda, 76, the still-reigning star of Japanese “elder porn” that features older men performing with women young enough to be their granddaughters. In April 2011, “Dave Cummings,” 71, the best-known older American porn actor, was scheduled for induction into the X-Rated Critics Organization’s Hall of Fame (along with eight younger stars). Like Tokuda, Cummings, a former U.S. Army officer who changed careers at age 54, claims almost never to need Viagra for his movies (except, he says, for back-toback scenes or when working with a difficult director). Said one industry insider (describing Cummings’ style), “He bridges the gap between ‘creepy uncle’ and the person the creepy uncle wanted to be.” CREME DE LA WEIRD -- Lucas Kocab, 31, was arrested in Medina, Ohio, in February and charged with “persistent disorderly conduct” after an incident that he attributed to having snorted “bath salts.” Kocab had called police to help him evict the “30” intruders in his home, and although none were found, Kocab insisted that the intruders were merely making it seem like they were not there and that they were actually blending into the surroundings, disguised as chairs or trees. Police said they were forced to Taser Kocab because he would not stop running in circles and yelling. The police examined the “bath salts” and determined that the substance is not illegal in Ohio.

IRONIES -- On March 30, several hours
before addressing the nation on TV about Libya, President Obama received a prestigious openrecords award presented by five freedom-of-information advocate organizations for running a commendably “transparent,” accessible administration. However, news about this award came about only because the presenters leaked it to the press. As noted by The Washington Post the next day, there was no White House notice to the press; the presentation was not on the president’s calendar; no photos or transcript were available; and the award was not mentioned on the White House website. -- Go Figure: (1) The author of most of the text of The New York Times obituary on Elizabeth Taylor, published on March 23, was Times reporter Mel Gussow, who passed away almost six years before Taylor. (2) At George Washington University’s men’s basketball game on March 5, accountancy department professor Robert Kasmir was honored at halftime for being one of the elite financial donors to the university, but he was not around for the end of the game. He was ejected from the stands in the second half for harassing a referee about the officiating.

UZE has been a busy band since first forming four years ago. The group has had some memorable gigs and has written some quality original material. But when they take the stage Wednesday, April 13 at the Weekender/Mountaingrown Original Music Series, it will be a new experience. For the first time, most of the people they’ll be playing for won’t be at the club, but rather jamming at home or driving in their cars listening on the radio. “It’s very exciting,” says vocalist and guitarist Adam McKinley. “I think it’s cool, and the whole series in general is awesome. It’s a great way for bands to get out there. And some of the other artists that have done it — they have names around here — so to be a part of that fraternity is cool in itself.” Though McKinley says the idea of doing an hour-long, commercial-free live radio performance can be a bit daunting, he adds that ultimately, the band will just do its thing: play. “I think maybe going into the first song, you might think, ‘Oh man, this is in on the radio,’ but I think once we get going, it’ll just be another show,” he says. “It’s been practice as usual, and just making sure that we’re tight on the original stuff. Once we get going, we’ll be in the groove.” SUZE, based out of Kingston, was formed in 2007. The band features McKinley on vocals and guitar, Brandin Shaffern on bass and Kevin Gallagher on drums.
McKinley says that keyboardist Angelo Miraglia and lead guitarist Adam Gabriel, though not original members, have added a great new dimension to the project. Two years ago, in a conversation with “Music On The Menu,” SUZE named everyone from Pink Floyd to Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, moe., Tom Petty, Parliament-Funkadelic, Phish, The Beatles, Sublime, Rage Against The Machine, The Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Grateful Dead, The Beastie Boys and NAS as influences. It was a healthy mix of modern rock, classic rock and even a few jam bands. “It’s stayed the same, somewhat, but it’s changed somewhat,” he says. “Now, we have more original stuff, and that’s a testament to the new members, because they’ve brought in songs that they’ve written. And I’ve been able to become a better songwriter and write what I think are better songs, and become a little more expansive, musically. And some the covers have changed a lot. We’re still doing the same type of stuff, but now we’re doing some keyboarddriven songs, because we have a keyboardist. And Adam alone changed our sound, because he’s a very aggressive guitarist. We’re taking advantage of what we have and using it to the fullest.” McKinley names “Green Eyed Lady” by Sugarloaf as a new addition to the set. He adds that when SUZE covers Phish, it not

always actually Phish. “It’s funny, but we actually do some covers that Phish cover, so they’re not actually Phish songs, but we kind of do them the way they play them,” he says. “We do Talking Heads, and we just started learning Bruce Hornsby’s “That’s The Way It Is.” And we added “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult, and we kind of jam that one.” Originals, however — not covers — will be the focus of Wednesday’s show at The Woodlands. Since first forming, SUZE has periodically been recording original material at the McCrindle Building Recording Studio. Tracks include “Rugged Rebel,” “Devil Woman,” “Bunker Hill” and “The Loner.” McKinley says the band plans to record again in June to complete the album. The songs often come easily. “I like a good story, and I like to tell a good story — or at least try to,” says McKinley, when asked what inspires his songwriting. “Some of the inspiration comes from personal experiences, but I don’t necessarily base the entire song on that. I might take a personal experience of my own, or somebody that I know, or just a situation in general, and just kind of make a story out of that. One of our new songs is called ‘When The World Is Not Enough,’ and it’s about James Bond. Sometimes, when I get inspired, I’ll come up with some chord progressions or a lick, and it just sounds like something to me, and I’ll try to write about the scenario that pops into my head.” McKinley concludes by saying that the ultimate scenario for Wednesday’s show — and all SUZE shows — is the same: fun. “We just want to put on a good show, get people dancing, and have them enjoy it,” he says. “I always say, ‘When they’re dancing, they’re listening.’ There’s nothing better than playing live.”

The Smithereens “2011”
WWWW
Vintage, yet fresh After an 11-year recording drought, one of New Jersey’s finest garage-pop outfits, The Smithereens, return with a solid slab of melodic thunder simply titled “2011” (with cover art and title ironically mimicking the band‘s best seller, 1989’s “11”). The 30-year-old band, which is known for college-rock radio stapes like “Blood and Roses,” describes these 13 tracks as “vintage Smithereens,” yet still “fresh” and “contemporary.” The boys nailed the aforementioned tags for this one. They come out
of the gate swinging with “Sorry,” an open-chord barnstormer with deliciously addictive melody; frontman Pat DiNizio’s voice resonant with his trademark deep intonation. The band’s reverence for all things Beatle is no secret as they take the Lennon/McCartney route through the meandering tunefulness of “One Look At You,” layered harmony vocals gently supporting the lead, while Jim Babjak’s guitar twangs blissfully away, and drummer Dennis Diken hammers his drum heads into oblivion. The Smithereens offer up darker, yet still riotously rocking fare with tracks like the minor key “Ring On Her Fingers,” which has a certain haunting reverberation that begs for repeat listening. Elsewhere “Viennese Hangover” is a trippy, capricious listen, complete with bells and swooshing organ accompaniment, making for something truly refreshing from the band. The album’s closer, “What Went Wrong,” wouldn’t sound out of place played on Little Steven’s Underground Garage radio show with the track’s Kinksmeets-Ramones riffing and tempered, roughhousing melody. The Smithereens succeed in stealing a page from their own glory days, not losing an ounce of the vibrant, muscular growl they patented more than two decades ago, garnishing it with enough ear-pleasing firepower to win them over a new crop of disciples.. -- Mark Uricheck Weekender Correspondent
Joe Bonamassa “Dust Bowl”

Bonamassa’s creative ‘dust’
The blues purists who once laid claim to Joe Bonamassa as their own have further reason to be upset as the guitarist’s new disc, “Dust Bowl,” continues his briskly accelerating evolution as vocalist, songwriter and suave-cultured musician exploring limitless possibilities within his music as well as his career, further straying from played-out 12-bar blues stagnation.

his last solo effort, “Black Rock,” and just months after the acclaimed Black Country Communion collaboration) is evident in tracks like the latter-period Led Zeppelin vastness of “Slow Train,” and the stomping, country twang of “Tennessee Plates,” a bouncy duet with John Hiatt. On the heavier side, there’s “Black Lung Heartache,” a seething tale of heart-wrenching struggle, with its collision of acoustic Greek baglamas instrumentation (Santorini, Greece was one of the disc’s recording locations) and dropped D-tuned Les Paul ferocity. Bonamassa’s blues bone is still present, as proved by the traditional Chicago shuffle of “You Better Watch Yourself,” and the slow, raging burn of “Prisoner.” Elsewhere, he shines on the playful Southern boogie of “Sweet Rowena” with iconic country picker Vince Gill and gently croons his way through “The Last Matador of Bayonne” before unleashing a guitar solo of Herculean proportions. While his foundations still lie in his beloved blues, Bonamassa is fearless and unapologetic about taking the music on an explosive rocket ride into the furthest reaches of his own creativity. A bold statement from one of the most brilliant (and, at 33, still ripening) guitarists of our generation. -- Mark Uricheck Weekender Corespondent

EXPERIENCE OUR HAND-CRAFTED
e were first introduced to Lindsay Lohan as the cute redhead from “The Parent Trap.” She grew up to be a shoplifter and in and out of rehab. Charlie Sheen, with three marriages down the tube and his own traveling show not a success, has showed us that celebrities rise with fame and sometimes plummet all the way down to never recover. Scott Stapp, lead singer of Creed, went on that journey, but was able to beat the odds with his new solo career and a new album with Creed coming out in 2012. “We began talking about Creed making a new record and Creed coming back together,” Stapp told the Weekender last week. “I think it is a very good idea that it happened. I had a lot of growth as a human being, spiritual and emotional, to make the record I wanted to make.” Creed split in 2004 because of tension among the band members. Stapp came out with his solo album, “The Great Divide” in 2005, which hit double platinum last week. “We did not promote (the record) like the Creed record, we let it have its own life,” Stapp said. “Through out the years it has just grown. It did exactly what we wanted it to do, grow organically.”
“The last five years have been a journey, and my next album is going to talk about that journey.” Scott Stapp
With his second solo album, “Between Lust and Love,” coming out, Stapp has informed his fans that they should be expecting not just a new sound, but deeper meaning in the lyrics. “They can expect growth from a standpoint as a songwriter, but not off the wall,” said Stapp. “It will be a familiar sound, but with growth and emphasis with different parts of music, the rhythms of the record. I am better as a storyteller, sharing my life, my intense passion of the music. At times the passion is intense.” Sometimes when musicians go solo after being part of a famous band, obviously, it’s to try and make it on their own. Some succeed, while stereotypically, others don’t make it at all. Stapp proved the stereotype
wrong. “When I started this tour, I think I was naive that it would be easy to transfer,” Stapp said. “My other challenges were making sure to communicate and if I was doing it the right way and telling the story the right way. On the nights that I have sung very well, it has been amazing to carry that. I think everything I have faced as a challenge is what makes it so unique and special.” Stapp has come a long way from battling his addictions and his troubled past of dealing with prescription drugs, alcohol abuse, contemplating suicide and even showing up to a show intoxicated. His roller coaster of bad decisions has given him the passion to write his music. “It has been a journey throughout my life,” the musician said. “My life and my music are mirror images. I talk about what is going on in my life, and I am just trying to be honest. Looking back at where I started, I wasn’t in a good place. The last five years have been a journey, and my next album is going to talk about that journey.” Stapp has continuously fought demons, and since his break from Creed in 2004, his fans have been loyal and continue to support him through his solo career. “Fans have responded great!” Stapp said. “The reaction blows my mind. Fans come out to the show, they know the songs and they sing with me all night long. The energy is great.” Stapp will reunite with the original members of Creed, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Philips to release a new album in 2012 and start touring by the summer. With Creed reuniting and the success of Stapp and his new solo album, what else is in the future? “I think that by the grace of God, I have been afforded the luxury by the fans to do stuff as a solo artist, and then get back with my boys Creed,” Stapp said. “Just because I am doing my solo tour, that does not mean Creed is not together anymore, we are just taking time off. It gives us time to improve as artists.” W Fact Box: Scott Stapp, Fri., April 15, 8 p.m., The Sherman Theater (524 Main St., Stroudsburg). $30-$48, $60 special limited platinum seats.

movie review
From left, Natalie Portman, Danny McBride, James Franco and Zooey Deschanel star in ‘Your Higness.’
McBride, Franco comedy aims ‘high’
N
ot since Monty Python’s troupe of merry men sought the Holy Grail have filmgoers been blessed with a quest of this magnitude. James Franco and Danny McBride seek to rescue love from the clutches of evil in “Your Highness.” Current comedic go-to guy Danny McBride, and perhaps the hardest working man on Earth James Franco star in this movie about two brothers and their differing views on the life of a prince. Franco stars as Prince Fabious. The champion of his people, he has returned from his latest quest with a striking young woman Belladona (Zooey Deschanel) in tow. Intelligent, dashing and
almost sickeningly sweet, Prince Fabious intends to marry his newfound bride, which delights his entire kingdom. His brother Prince Thadeous (McBride) is a slightly different story. Serving as a mustachioed yang to Franco’s yin, McBride’s Thadeous is not so intelligent, far from dashing and a selfish slob who sullenly looks on his brother’s wedding announcement as yet another reason for himself to be compared to Fabious. McBride and Franco were both part of director David Gordon Green’s pot-fueled romp, “Pineapple Express.” This time out, they dive into the delight of playing dress up by throwing themselves into the fun time and again. Before they can be wed,
Fabious’s lady love is stolen by the scourge of the kingdom, the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux). Fabious and his knights immediately gear up to give chase and rescue Belladona. However, the king forces Prince Thadeous to join his brother in rescuing the young beauty. The film takes inspiration from “Monty Python and The Holy Grail” and Mel Brooks’ “History of the World Part I” with a healthy dollop of Cheech and Chong, but adds its own flourishes to achieve its own identity. Computergenerated special effects are the predominant manner of achieving this uniqueness, but the addition of an Oscarwinning actress certainly does

Ralphie with Mike Posner.
L
ife changes when you go platinum. But you don’t have to tell Mike Posner that. The “Cooler Than Me” crooner recently noticed that his iPod was no longer working out of the right ear. Most of us would bring the device to the Apple store, maybe some would see if a friend could fix it. But when the iPod carries a ton of unreleased tracks belonging to both yourself and others, you don’t take any chances. “I’d be the reason for this big music industry leakage,” feared Posner if the broken iPod got in to the wrong hands when he sat down for an interview which aired Monday evening on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” “I had to destroy it.” The verb “destroy” might be an understatement, as photos he later sent to Twitter showed the iPod classic completely dismantled. Posner described how he went about dismembering the music player. “I was in a hotel room in Cleveland, and I took the couch that was in the hotel room, and I put the iPod under it and just smashed it.” Something says he probably did not learn that technique while studying at Duke University. Posner revealed that the iPod contained collaborations with the likes of Bruno Mars and Wiz Khalifa. His sophomore album is already about six tracks deep, although the main collaboration that everyone is talking about these days is the “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” remix featuring Lil Wayne. “When I was making the album, working with Wayne wasn’t a possibility, because he was incarcerated,” Posner noted. “So it was one of the first songs he did when he got out and man, I just feel super blessed and honored to have somebody as talented as Wayne jump on my tracks ’cause … he’s the mother-whomping man!”
The “whomp” reference was a nod to one of Posner’s favorite cartoons, “Recess.” The Duke grad had a chance to kick it with Weezy while shooting the single’s music video and came away with nothing but positive comments about the Young Money emcee. Posner is in the midst of a spring college tour. “31 Minutes to Takeoff ” is in stores now, and “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” featuring Lil Wayne can be purchased on iTunes — even if you’ve smashed your iPod. GAGA GOES COUNTRY ON REMIX Back in October 2008, a then relatively unknown artist named Lady Gaga called in to “The RRS” and talked about her trials and tribulations in getting radio stations to accept her first single, “Just Dance.” “Ya know, stations don’t know what to make of (‘Just Dance’),” Gaga said. “They’re like, ‘Is it a dance record? Is it a pop record? Is it a r&b record? But it’s kind of rock-y. Then she says playboy!’ No one knows what to think of it.” Thankfully for Gaga, radio programmers and their audience eventually thought of it as a big song. “A hit record breaks every rule,” the pop star responded when I said that regardless of genre, a good song deserves radio airplay. Since that time, Lady Gaga has gone on to break almost every rule, record and stereotype in becoming one of the world’s most dominant forces in music. Keeping with her motto of “a hit record breaks every rule,” Gaga released a country version of her most successful single to date, “Born This Way.” Her album is W due out this May.

King Arthur (Steve McCoy) listens as Brother Maynard (Thomas Demarcus) reads how to defeat the Killer Rabbit in ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot.’
Clever 'Spamalot' leads to Holy Grail R E V I E W
By Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor
SCRANTON — You could learn a lot from “Spamalot.” You could learn the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow (both African and European), you could learn how to defeat a most vicious foe that has nasty, big, pointy teeth, and, most importantly, you could learn how to really, truly belly laugh, which is something the audience learned tenfold as Monty Python’s “Spamalot” kicked off a weekend of performances at the Scranton Cultural Center Friday, April 8. It was an outrageous, colorful show that used the cult classic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” as a base upon which to further the fun, inappropriateness — particularly during Sir Robin’s song, “You Won’t Succeed on Broadway” — and brilliance of the six-person comedy troupe known as Monty Python. But don’t think that this irreverent show is just flying by the seat of its pants to get a laugh. At its core, “Spamalot” has an extremely talented cast, namely its Lady of the Lake, played by Caroline
Bowman, who has the pipes, stage presence and beauty to make it far on the Great White Way. Bowman played perfectly off “Spamalot’s” bumbling leading lad, King Arthur (Steve McCoy), who was a delight to watch on his quest for the Holy Grail with his merry band of misfits, the Knights of the Round Table. Along the way, they met many characters who tried to stand in their way, namely the sassy French, the diabolical Knights Who Say Ni, the overly brave Black Knight and a very fierce rabbit. Many parts of the show were right from “The Holy Grail,” and aside from “Knights of the Round Table,” “Brave Sir Robin” and “Always Look on the Bright
Side of Life,” from “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” film, “Spamalot” featured fun original music like “The Song That Goes Like This” and “His Name Is Lancelot,” which told us that the legendary knight “bats for the other team.” “Spamalot” offered plenty of laughs and little nuances to thrill hardcore fans, and those not as schooled in the art of the Pythons were still able to keep up because the play is a completely different animal from the movie, especially since King Arthur and his knights do indeed find the Holy Grail in the most unlikely of places: Under the seat of an audience member, with nary a policeman in sight to interfere.

very day, millions of Americans wake up and begrudgingly head into work or school, fulfilling expectations that have been placed on them from society and others in their lives from the day they were born. But according to Chris Guillebeau, maintaining that status quo just for the sake of it is not the only way to go. In his book, “The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World,” he outlines the keys to living a fulfilling life, instead of chugging through a series of meaningless or joyless tasks, and makes a case for a life spent going against the grain. A writer and world traveler who has carved out his own unconventional career path, Guillebeau truly practices what he preaches — though preaching, in the traditional sense, isn’t really his style. “The Art of Non-Conformity” is more of a how-to manual for questioning authority and striving for a purposeful and rich life, without worrying what others think, based on how the author did it for himself. Broken down into neatly organized chapters, Guillebeau uses his own experience to guide an interested and dedicated reader down the
path less traveled. Throughout these chapters, Guillebeau sets up each obstacle that must be overcome by the non-conformist and systematically knocks them down with proof from his story and others who have grown tired of “working for the weekend” and branched out on their own. The author addresses everything from overcoming fear of change and redefining a career or establishing an independent business, to dealing with personal finances and building a legacy. If it all sounds a little new age-y or too good to be true, it’s not. At least, not when Guillebeau puts his spin on all of the looming questions that come with choosing to stay on the hypothetical bridge while everyone else is blindly leaping (an analogy he employs with great effect). Sure, his coining of terms, like “vampires” (critics) and “gatekeepers” (people with a vested interest in limiting the options of others), is very reminiscent of the self-help genre, but his logic and appetite for life translate to the page in the form of a wake-up call on which you don’t want to press Snooze. And that is because the book leaves the reader with one big question: Why do something if you don’t love it? It’s safe to say that “The Art of Non-Conformity” is not for everyone. Some may dismiss it as a flimsy way of avoiding “the real world” (Guillebeau would call those people critics, and, having set a personal goal of traveling to every country in the world, might argue with that definition of the “real world”). It may scare the hell out of others, especially those who know they want to make a change but are afraid to actually go through with it. But for the true “non-conformists” out there, Guillebeau’s book will be a jumping off point for creating a life well-lived, one that doesn’t derive from the purely material, but from self-satisfaction and the joy of philanthropy.

designed Record Store Day figurines and other collectable memorabilia. Each store will have a varied selection, some having items that another won’t. And a larger store like the Gallery of Sound will surely have a different selection than smaller stores like Musical Energi in Wilkes-Barre, but that doesn’t stop owner Jay Notartomaso from participating. Notartomaso said being an independent store has been a 24year labor of love for him, and he feels that it is important for people to get involved with the day as it is a community thing that brings the stores, fans and musicians all together. “Come to Record Store Day,” he said. “Visit all the shops. Get some free stuff, buy some things to support your local record store. The ‘big box’ stores are destroying the independent stores. Don’t let them do it, don’t let them ruin the music.”

All about the music
Record Store Day honors independently owned record stores By Marie Burrell Weekender Intern

It’s
nostalgic, it’s a treasure hunt. The sleek, black vinyl protected by ageworn paper, thin cardboard and maybe a clear plastic sheath. Over-played cassettes, the artist’s name faded and quite possibly forgotten. Stacks of dusty eight-tracks that, if they had a voice, would be begging for someone to remember they existed. It’s your parent’s old collection. It’s your “new” collection. The person next to you holds an album you’ve never heard
— mental note to check out that band. The guy behind the counter scribbles a reminder to hunt down another album you’ve been dying to have. It’s not the same store in every city, it’s not the same service, it’s not the same collection. It’s independent, and they like it that way. Rocking the indie scene for the fourth year, Record Store Day will be held at hundreds of music stores across the country this Saturday, April 16. Founded by the Music Monitor Network in 2007, and holding its
‘A BIG PARTY’
otartomaso said that it’s great to see the independent stores getting together to promote themselves against the industry struggles they faced and celebrate the roots of the record store. R.J. Harrington, owner of Embassy inaugural event in 2008, Record Store Vinyl in Scranton, agreed. “It’s just a good day to come out, Day was based on the concept of listen to some new music, possibly get Free Comic Book Day. It gives these some free new music, and basically smaller “mom-and-pop” music stores just experience what a record store has the chance to remind people that to offer.” they are still there and going strong, And the stores will be offering a as well as offer up special in-store sales, contests and freebie giveaways. lot more than just merchandise.

Gallery of Sound has a full as a founding member of the Music schedule at its Mundy Street location, Monitor Network (MMN), said he is glad that the event has been successful, featuring bands like Miz, Track Masons and Title Fight. Notartomaso as it hasn’t been an easy time for said there will be two bands playing at independent stores over the years, Musical Energi, Astorian Stigmata and having to battle with “big box” stores Upneat Mysic, even though the store such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy, as has very limited space.

“The ‘big box’ store are destroying the independent stores. Don’t let them do it, don’t let them ruin the music.” Jay Notartomaso, owner, Musical Energi
Clockwise from top: Jay Notartomaso of Musical Energi, Tom LeFevre and Charley Pishnick of Main St. Jukebox, Joe Nardone Jr. of Gallery of Sound, Wayne and Jamie Sorbelli of Wayne’s World and R.J. Harrington of Embassy Vinyl.
Wayne has also said he will be dipping into his personal collection, which contains items only available to people in the business and selling them at regular pricing. “It’s a one-day, ‘Wayne makes no money,’ I don’t care what you buy sale,” he said. For entertainment, many of the students that take musical lessons at the store will be performing, as well as George Wesley and Annette, appearing at “2 p.m.-ish Wayne Time,” Wayne said. Despite the hardships independent
record stores have faced, those that still exist are revving up for the upcoming Record Store Day. To them, it is the celebration of still being here to service the customers dedicated to what they have to offer. And to Jamie Sorbelli, who Wayne refers to as the true boss-lady of the store, it’s a good feeling. “It’s a celebration of the last standing independent stores. We’re thrilled to see people who organize and get everybody who’s left together. It’s great to be recognized.” W

people have lost track of the personal touches associated with shopping in these stores. “I don’t wanna be in a society where all you have is Wal-Mart to go to — that kinda sucks to me.” Thankfully, to Wayne and Jamie Sorbelli, owners of Wayne’s World of Music in Dallas, society hasn’t let go of them. For 15 years, the two have run the store, formerly located in Pittston, which not only sells music on nearly every medium available, but also carries various musical instruments, movies, video games and consoles. They both said that the store is often a haven for people looking for something in particular or chatting with others about different kinds of music. d “It is like a bar, without alcohol,” said Wayne. y “Or a coffee shop without coffee,” added Jamie. To them, this is the important part of events like Record Store Day — getting people together to celebrate music in an “in honor of” day honoring what a real record store is. “When it first started, it was less d known artists participating,” Jamie said. “Now even major artists are participating and putting out exclusives for Record Store Day. It’s a glorious recognition of an independent store. I’m glad to have seen it grown.” Wayne’s World will be holding sales on almost everything in the store, including discounts on instruments.

To pledge an act of green, simply go to act.earthday.org erythingnaturalpa.com. The Wilkes-Barre River Commons is assembling a green team to help clean up the area and preserve the surrounding environment. If you are willing to help out with trash removal and other general environmental duties, this would be a great way to fulfill an Earth Day pledge. To volunteer, visit rivercommon.org/contact. Communities all around us are celebrating Earth Day, so whether you are in the area or out of town you will be able to participate in some type of Earth Day activity. If you find yourself in New York City on April 22, you can attend the Earth Day event in Times Square starting at 11 a.m. The event is a public celebration that will feature interactive exhibits and a runway show of “green” vehicles. The Earth Fair Outdoors is a two-day festival of art, music and environment that will be held in the Grand Central Terminal in New York City on April 22-23. This event will have a large exhibit area featuring environmental groups, green businesses and other activities that include educational information on preserving the environment. So far there have been more than 80 million acts of green pledges for this year’s Earth Day, so go ahead and make a pledge, whether it’s big or small, every bit helps. W

arth Day 2011 falls on April 22 and there are so many things that we can do to help preserve the planet as well as celebrate. This year, Earth Day will work around an organization called A Billion Acts of Green, which is a campaign that gets both personal and corporate pledges to live a more sustainable lifestyle. A Billion Acts of Green inspires individuals and larger organizations to reduce their carbon footprint. To pledge an act of green, simply go to act.earthday.org. You can do anything from planting a tree to even organizing your own Earth Day event like a roadside or park cleanup. The annual Earth Week cleanup will take place on Saturday April 23 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and is part of the Great NEPA cleanup. The cleanup crew will meet in the parking lot at Bentley’s (2300 Route 309, Ashley) at 8 a.m. and will work off of Route 309 between Wilkes-Barre and Mountain Top. If you cannot volunteer for the day, you are more than welcome to help out a few hours. For more information, e-mail Jacob Savitski at jacobsavitski@kings.edu. Another great way to celebrate Earth Day this year would be to attend the Jim Thorpe Earth Day Festival, held on Saturday, April 16 in Jim Thorpe. The festival is a non-profit organization that celebrates the Earth as well as educates individuals on how to live a more responsible eco-friendly way of life. The Lehigh River cleanup along with free live music, crafts, yoga, games, food and environmental information will all be part of the festivities. The event is from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information visit ev-

GOING GERMAN IN HONESDALE ate at The Alpine Wurst & Meat House (1106 Route 6, Honesdale) for the first time Saturday night and must say it was truly a wonderful experience. This German-chalet style restaurant is also a top-shelf deli where you can buy fresh-made sausage, bologna and more which is all made right on the premises every day. But let’s get to the good stuff: the food. I started with a cup of yummy carrot ginger soup, which preceded our appetizer of baconwrapped sea scallops with homemade horseradish dipping sauce. The scallops were meaty, and the bacon was incredible; I daresay it was the best appetizer I’ve ever had. The poor baked brie with fruit, too, was tasty, but couldn’t hold a candle to the scallops. Up next was the amazing Wiener Schnitzel, a breaded and fried veal cutlet topped with a lemon slice and a smattering of capers, which is now the standard by which all future Wiener Schnitzels will be judged, I’m afraid. I chose the delicious spaetzle noodles as my starch, but couldn’t help but try the potato pancakes with applesauce as well. The pancakes were large and crisp, chockfull of carrots, celery and

90 YEARS YOUNG hile ownership has passed on to his daughter, Bonk’s Bar (200 W. Church St., Nanticoke) still bears the name of its original owner Eddie Bonk. Just as he has been since Bonk’s opened back in 1977, the bartender who recently celebrated his 90th birthday can still be found behind the bar on occasion. “I’m 39 years old,” Bonk corrected with a smile. When asked what have been some of the biggest changes he’s seen over the years, Bonk simply replied that “it depends on who’s running it, but anybody gets radical, out, and they don’t come back.” He jokingly said that “throwing people out” was his favorite thing about being a longtime bar owner, but he enjoyed getting to know people, sort of. “You don’t get involved, you’ve got to keep quiet,” he said. “And people would say, ‘Boy, is he loud.’” Though he doesn’t imbibe anymore, Bonk’s drink of choice was a good, old-fashioned brew. “It didn’t matter what kind, beer is beer,” he said.

onions and went magnificently with the applesauce. Even the night’s vegetables, a medley of green and yellow beans with carrots were above average, especially with its buttery breadcrumb topping. We ended the meal with a slice of delectable raspberry marzipan cake. This was one of those rare meals that wasn’t greater than the sum of its parts: It was all perfect — and delicious. As if the food wasn’t enough, the décor and atmosphere of The Alpine make you feel like you are somewhere atop the German Alps.

A Rainbow shines on five locals By Noelle Vetrosky
Weekender Correspondent
E
ncouraging equality among all people, promoting acceptance of each others’ individuality and creating an inclusive environment are all big goals, but when tackled head on, they make a world of difference in the quality of life in the region. The five honorees of the 2011 Northeastern Pennsylvania Rainbow Awards have dedicated their time and effort contributing to these goals and will be commended for it at a gala event happening this Saturday night at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton. In the past, Rainbow Award honorees were recognized at a dinner and reception, but this year is going to be a little different with even more added to the event. “This is the first year we have a band and dancing,” said John Dawe, executive director of the NEPA Rainbow Alliance. “It’s a chance to get dressed up and go out and have a good time.” Putting on the gala takes a lot of time and support from the community to pull together, and the community didn’t disappoint as many businesses came forward to make a contribution. “We’ve been working on it for six months collecting vendors, reaching out to the community, creating the program book, etc.,” said Ron Pritchyk, Rainbow Award committee member and event coordinator for the Radisson Lackawanna. “A lot of local vendors donated their services like Tron Enterprises, Central Park Flowers, and Frankie Carll Productions.” This year also marks another first for the event as there are now five awards being given out. Recipients will be honored in categories of Outstanding Community Volunteer Leader, Outstanding Public Official, Outstanding Student Leadership and Outstanding Supporter from a Community of Faith. Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty, the chosen Outstanding Public Official, is honored to be recognized and to be receiving the award. “I’m very proud of all the equality ordinances that passed in Scranton because we wanted to do more

Flashing lights D
the network’s entry-level positions. That meant no stereotypical coffee runs or personal errands for important people. There were high expectations for the interns because we served as a contributor more than an observer and had the ability to f--k up more than just how many sugars a frantic producer takes in his morning coffee. By the end of my first week as an intern, I was exhausted. I was still processing everything I had just taken in. My roommate, enervated from his stressful week at work, insisted I join him in a night on the town to let loose. “Work hard during the week and party hard on the weekends,” he preached. “That’s how the big boys do it!” Along with a girl I interned with, we partied at a hot club called Opera that night. Ahmed was good friends with a club promoter, so we didn’t have to wait in line and walked in behind the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. We had a blast that night. On the drive home, I remember passing the Kodak Theatre with the song “Flashing Lights” playing on the radio. It was the moment I realized I was in the first stage of making my dreams of working in the entertainment industry a reality. After sleeping through the entire next day, I went to the rooftop hot tub where I had a view of the Staples Center. Lights were flashing in recognition of a Lakers game, bringing me back to the song on the radio the night before while riding home with Ahmed and my fellow intern. We were young, ambitious and slowly making our footprints in a town where dreams come true. And, as the flashing lights in the distance reached for the stars, we were just getting started … Love, Justin W Interact with Justin on Twitter @sorrymomanddad and Facebook.com/ sorrymomanddad.

1969 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA
Engine:
350 cubic-inch Camaro high performance
Owner:
Mort Goldsmith of Montrose The Karmann Ghia was a 2+2 (two passenger seats in the front, two smaller seats in the rear) produced from 1955-1974, combining the chassis and mechanicals of the VW Beetle with styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian company Ghia and bodywork by the German coach builder Karmann. “I can’t even stop for gas with this car without drawing a crowd,” Goldsmith says, who shares that the car was totally hand-built over and is the only one of its kind to be in existence.

ear Mom & Dad, Is there one song that brings you back in time to where you were when you heard it before? Do the lyrics paint a portrait of a memory that is reminiscent of your youth? Sometimes it’s great to close your eyes, listen to that song and relive the point in time which will forever remain significant to you. Whenever I hear Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights,” I think back to my first week living in Los Angeles. In January 2008, I moved across the country to intern for the world’s largest entertainment news provider, E! Entertainment. Only three weeks earlier, I was cramming for finals when I received the call from the administrative assistant to the executive producer of “True Hollywood Story” offering me the opportunity of a lifetime. Six hours after hugging me goodbye at the airport with tears streaming down your faces, I arrived in Los Angeles. Most 21 year olds would have felt intimidated heading into such an abrupt adjustment. Thanks to the confidence you instilled in me growing up, I embraced the opportunity with fearlessness. I was lucky to find a roommate online. An Egyptian raised in Minnesota, Ahmed was a 26 year old who had an important position at U.S. Bank — and more importantly, a spare bedroom at a kickass apartment in the financial district of downtown L.A. with two pools, two fitness centers, a tennis court and a 24-hour concierge. Ahmed made me feel at home the second I arrived, and we practically became brothers overnight. Two days after arriving, I reported to 5750 Wilshire Blvd. for duty. Though I may have entered the glass doors an arrogant frat boy notorious for making reckless decisions, I exited those glass doors on my first day with a new attitude. That first week, I was impressed to learn the internship program at E! was designed to train potential employee’s for

The door to good health I
finally have made good my threat of going back to the gym. It’s been three months since my last confession, I mean gym visit. The reason behind my lapse in attendance to my health facility is not what you might think. First, let us examine why I am going back. It has nothing to do with the fact that my shape has begun to closely resemble an Anjou pear. I am not a vain person, even though I think it’s more like a Bartlett. Neither does it have anything to with my fasting blood sugars looking like a sign at the gas station. For those of you who are what we diabetics call non-diabetic (doctors call you “healthy”), a blood-sugar reading should be around 100 or so in the morning. Not 375 like the price of regular. No, the real reason I am going back is my credit card statement and this aversion to spending money on nothing. So let’s hear it for the monthly gym charge. It’s worked magic on my motivation. As for why I stumbled out of bed today to go torture myself that’s the real motivator. Greed. The reasons I have been avoiding the place of sore muscles are complex. I am a lazy, fat person who, due to the laws of physics, has come to rest. Those laws of physics state that an object at rest would like to have the snooze alarm feature on his alarm clock disabled or, at the very least, sent to the outer rim of the galaxy. I am at peace with that choice. Another reason is that the concept of no pain, no gain while sounding good when spoken by a young, gifted athlete who is chugging a sports beverage after winning the big game doesn’t sound good to me. In fact, all I hear is the pain part. The gain part? I do that with little or no effort on my own. But the real reason I have been shunning the exercise palace? The door. Recently in an
effort to do something, I am still not sure what, the gym installed a system where the door is opened by you, the sweaty person to be, with a card like those you use at the checkout at the supermarket. You swipe it in the reader, and it does nothing. Seriously. There is a sign explaining that the reader will not make a noise or change the colored light on its face or in any way alert you that it’s working. That’s good because it only works about one time in 100. The door remains locked. Finally, you give up and wrench it open, your first workout of the day. There is also a sign that strongly suggests you will be shot if you hold the door open for anybody. ALL MUST SWIPE. Which sounds good in theory, but when you are a guy and a young, gifted, athletic female-type person is behind you, it would be almost ludicrous to expect you to slam the door in her face. Right? So the gym powers-that-be designed a backup system. You now have to sign in. So you not only alert the computer 100 times by swiping your card until it’s worn thin, but you have to scribble your name. I am sure this is checked by … someone. No doubt the person who used to ask for your name when you walked in before the door of death was installed. No wait. They fired him. So after the daily fight with the door, and the extreme agony of doing physical activity for the first time since Christmas, I crawled to my car and drove almost all the way home before I went back for my cell phone. And faced the door again. Tomorrow will go better. I am sure. I have smashed the alarm clock with a hammer.

orking on a road construction site is dangerous work. Not only are you working around very large machinery and working in sometimes bad weather, there is also the danger of any passing motorist coming in contact with the machinery or even worse, the workers. In a press release sent to me by PennDOT Press Officer James May, the number of accidents was staggering: “According to PennDOT data, there were 22 people killed in work zones in Pennsylvania last year. Four construction workers were killed, including three PennDOT employees and one contractor. Three of those worker deaths were caused by a public vehicle entering the work zone. Since 1970, 82 PennDOT employees have been killed in the line of duty.” These numbers can be reduced by simply having motorists pay attention to work zone signage and simply slowing down. The first week of April was Work Zone Safety Week. Bet you didn’t know that. Actually, I didn’t either until I met May and Construction Project Manager Jim Grabowski. They took me on a tour of a work site near Hunlock Creek. This site was chosen because many bike runs and rides use this route as it is very scenic and a quiet, winding country road. While we pay attention to the larger work zones on the interstate highways, these smaller work zones are also manned by workers who just want to do a day’s work and return home safe at night. Another interesting statistic from the press release: “In 2010, there were 1,884 crashes in work zones, a dramatic increase from the 1,519 crashes in 2009 and the most in any of the past five years. Over that same time period, there were a total of 8,302 work-zone crashes and 114 fatalities.” Why
James May and Jim Grabowski of PennDOT at a construction site in Hunlock Creek.
In 2010, there were 1,884 crashes in work zones, an increase from 2009’s 1,519. is this happening? I asked Grabowski if he preferred working behind the barriers, he replied, “Much prefer to be behind barriers, working with cones is nowhere near as safe.” He said that he has seen a few accidents and recounted one story that happened on Route 309 in Dallas. “This lady was driving, reading the newspaper, and she hit the car in front of her in the work zone. I could read her lips saying, ‘I was reading the newspaper.’” Lucky no one was hurt in that small fender bender. We got to talking a bit about the road gravel and how it affects riders and acts like marbles which can cause skids. Grabowski pointed out that “Every construction zone is required to keep the work zone clear of debris to keep it safe for motorists. If you are working in a zone with a lot of dirt and gravel, they are required to keep the dust down, mostly using water but also other liquids if that doesn’t work.” The construction zone in Hunlock Creek was a bit unusual as it was situated amid several houses. They are building a new bridge to replace one that was washed out in a flood. It was actually kind of neat to watch as they put in sheeting to redirect the flow of water in the creek so that they could build first one side then the other. There was a huge crane that used a tool to pound the sheets into the creek bed, which caused quite a racket.
“We have a monitor on all houses to monitor vibration so we know how much vibration is going on,” Grabowski said, adding that this particular project should be done by Thanksgiving. I think the residents will be glad to have a bridge back and some quiet! Grabowski spoke highly of the crew that was working there. “The five guys on this bridge crew are really great. I’ve worked with them before, and they are safe and work well together. “ I asked May and Grabowski what would make things safer for the workers, they both agreed that getting people to pay attention slow down and stop texting. Grabowski said that he has seen any number of people texting as they are going through the work zones. That is something that is really dangerous. Grabowski is a 20-year veteran of PennDOT who works out of the Dunmore District Office. This district, District 4, covers six counties, and he’s worked in all of them over the years. May is PennDOT’s newest Safety Press Officer; his background includes seven years as an Army Chaplin who was attached to the 52nd Engineers attached to the 101st in Iraq. Most recently May worked for Governor Tom Corbett’s staff. So keep it safe out there whether you are on a bike or in a car. The work zone is someone’s job. Let them make it home at the end of the day. W

Weekender Correspondent ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) When the theoretical becomes actual, it’s a whole new ball game. Don’t be scared, though. Even though the real life version of your vision or fantasy is much more complex, daunting, and imperfect than the one living in your imagination—it’s also real. It’s worth tackling and accepting these things. It might not seem like it at first, but those complicating ripples are actually going to make this experience richer, more challenging, exciting, engaging and ultimately better than if your fantasy had simply become reality exactly as you envisioned it. Of course, if you’re too freaked, you’ll miss out. You’re not too freaked, are you? TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Placing blame is sometimes important, especially when it comes to someone taking responsibility for something they screwed up, and taking pains to keep it from happening again. However, much of the time pointing fingers accomplishes nothing and in fact creates a situation that’s much less productive, enjoyable, and successful for everyone — including yourself. It’s OK to figure out the root of the problem in your own head, but before you voice your conclusions, ask yourself if much (or any) good would come of such disclosure (which might come off more like accusations than anything else), then act accordingly. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Remember what’s important. It’s so easy to get caught up in others’ perceptions, or the politics of a situation, and lose sight of what actually matters — mostly what’s in your heart and what you do about it. Whether that’s what someone else wants you to do is irrelevant (unless they have significant power over you, in which case you might not have much choice). Your job is to stay attuned to that inner voice that compels you to act in a way that feels right to you, and, at least to some extent, ignore anyone that tells you otherwise.
rather investments in your present. If you can greatly enhance your quality of life right now without severely diminishing your ability to enjoy it later, why shouldn’t you? LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Being real doesn’t mean letting it all hang out all the time. While being deceptive or dishonest is a bad idea, you can still be authentic without revealing everything about yourself at every turn. Be an open book, as you’re inclined, that is, honestly answer any question that’s asked, and offer any information that seems relevant to the situation at hand. Then shut up about the rest. Sure, you have nothing to hide, and you’re pretty great overall. However, remember this: wearing a little mystery can only add to your allure. This week, try it. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) It’s generally a good idea to give someone else time to make up their mind, particularly if the decision is a weighty or tricky one. At some point, though, enough’s enough, and it’s time for them to come to some conclusion on the matter. If you think you’re being at all hasty, consult with more than one friend you consider wise and successful in this area of life before you push the issue. Then, when you do, don’t jump right into ultimatum mode, but gently begin the process of letting them know time is running out. Hopefully, “Jeopardy” theme music won’t be necessary, but if after a few weeks or months (depending on your patience) they still can’t decide, you may have to accept that they’ll probably never be able (or willing) to.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Let’s say you were writing an e-mail to a friend about someone you were dating, a very frank and explicit e-mail brutally listing all their flaws, as well as the things you like about them. Then, you accidentally send the e-mail to the person in question. Such a gaffe is very likely a deal-breaker, but there’s a chance you can salvage the situation — by quite simply owning what you said, instead of trying to desperately backpedal. It might be hard for you diplomatic Libras to claim your harshest words and feelings, but demonstrating that you can be that honest and real can only work in your favor. If you find yourself in such a situation, try it, it’s not like you have anything to lose. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Scorpios abide by their own set of personalized ethics that don’t always perfectly coincide with those popular in modern society. I don’t think there’s any stopping you from pursuing these activities you so conveniently rationalize as “harmless” (or nearly so), even if they’re sketchy. That’s fine. Just do everyone else a favor of keeping them secret. If you reveal your questionable behaviors, you put other people in the touchy spot of having to be tacit accomplices to whatever you’re up to, or having to call you on it. Better to eat your cake in secret, then hide the crumbs. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Perfectly lovely people are still occasionally capable of doing perfectly abominable things when they’re under stress. In such
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) What you’re up to is a lot like raking dry leaves on a very windy day. Much of your labor is erased by the gusts scattering the piles you’ve meticulously made. How frustrating! You can, of course, continue to slog away at the task, and, given your persistence and determination, you will eventually get it done. But ask yourself: Is this really something that has to be finished today? I know you’re leery of excuses to procrastinate, but sometimes, in the name of efficiency and actually accomplishing your goals, your best bet is to put off a task until you can accomplish it without the very elements fighting against you. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Having an opinion is a fine thing (and it’s not like I could stop you). However, sometimes it crosses over into being judgmental, which isn’t something that’s likely to bring you joy or do anyone any good. It’s perfectly fine to steer clear of an aspect of someone’s life that you’re not crazy about, but shunning or condemning them for it is just generally a bad idea. Instead, focus on the positive things you enjoy, and change the subject rather than harp on your pushbutton topics, if you want to avoid pointless unproductive conflict and stress this week — and I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Symbols are just that: symbols. Invest them with too much meaning and they could obscure the truth of whatever they’re supposed to represent. Is a marriage a ring, for example? A ring doesn’t make someone less likely to cheat or more likely to be a good partner. Whether or not someone wears your ring might or might not have meaning; instead of getting too caught up on one little thing, take a look at the broader issues behind the symbol you’re quietly obsessing about. If things seem sweet otherwise, I’d suggest letting go of this particular symbol; it’s ultimately irrelevant.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) There’s a time to spend and a time to save. Sometimes, hoarding what you’ve got is the smart thing to do, but often it doesn’t do you much good — while spending it intelligently might prove fairly wonderful. This is one of those times when the benefits of wise, thoughtful expenditures will far outweigh the theoretical pluses of banking your cash. By “wise” and “thoughtful,” I don’t necessarily mean investments in your future (though those can qualify), but

circumstances, I’m not suggesting you ought to issue them a free pass, but an isolated incident of bad behavior should probably be met with compassion rather than judgment. Patterns, even emerging ones, should be addressed directly, but the best way to deal with a freak-out is to simply be supportive and help everyone move on. That, my dear, is what friends are for. This week, don’t be judge and jury, parent, or critic. Just be a friend.
