For Shame You can always tell a greedy person (“King George,” Cover Story, Sept. 26). It extrudes through every aspect of their life. Shame on you, Mr. Shirakawa. SO-SO INTERESTING

POLITEMERC

Training Days Guess he got some good training while on the San Jose City Council. RICK HELLER

Soft Side Typical bureaucratic and liberal BS (“Hound Hunting,” SVNews, Sept. 26); they play up the soft side saying it’s for the protection of the animals when it has nothing to do with that at all. The Humane Society wants to abolish

all hunting at every level. Forget the history or heritage, forget the fact many of us do so for sustenance. They don’t care. They have their agenda and deep pockets and will find a politician that can be bought to do their bidding. RM

Bad News, Bears According to his website, Gov. Brown vetoed Sen. Ellen Corbett’s SB 1480, which would have established a trapping license for people who trap nuisance wildlife for profit. The bill would have prohibited killing by drowning, crushing chests or injecting chemicals; prohibited trapping lactating females; and required consumer information.

Bad move, governor! This legislation would have helped prevent far more animal suffering than SB 1221. ERIC MILLS

Predictions How does this guy show his face in public and not die of shame? He and his staff laughing like it’s a joke is embarrassing for them all. He’s bad with paperwork but keeps thinking it’s a good idea to have him in charge of the county budget? Here’s a prediction: he won’t file the paperwork to avoid the fines. He has zero integrity.

Again, soon thereafter: “I’m gonna start by taking these tattoos off. One by one. But it’s not the burning of the laser that hurts. It’s

the memories every time I come in here for treatment, screaming back at me in pain like ghosts. When I leave here, I’m looking over my shoulder. That trail of smoke behind me, whispering in my ear. ‘La regaste. La regaste, hijueputa. You fucked up.’” Such is just one powerful scene of many in Paul D. Flores’ PLACAS: The Most Dangerous Tattoo, starring Ric Salinas, of Culture Clash fame, in a rare serious role. The play gets its San Jose premiere at MACLA, running Oct. 5–14. Fausto “Placas” Carvajal is a Salvadoran immigrant and now a middle-aged ex–gang member recently released after nine years in prison. As a requirement of his parole, Fausto must remove the tattoos that mark him as a gang member. That’s not all. He must also find a way to reconnect with his

family, especially his teenage son, Edgar, who has never known his father, and who is now about to join a rival gang. What unfolds is a sincere, multilayered, human story, set in the Mission District of San Francisco, against the backdrop of barrio life, gang and family dynamics, parole officers, police and bible-thumping street preachers. The destroyed absentee father-son relationship of Fausto and Edgar, in particular, comes off as authentic to the core. In barrio street-culture slang, placas is a multilayered code word for graffiti tags, a nickname or body tattoos. Tats symbolize a gang member’s dogged allegiance to the group, as well as a form of identity the member can rarely shake. The process of tattoo removal is painful, both physically and emotionally; it’s seen as one’s symbolic detachment from the gang, a statement that does not go over very well with other gang members. Thus, the word—placas—frames the entire play, from top to bottom, inside and out. In researching the work, Flores interviewed dozens of gang

members, parents and intervention workers, many of whom were reluctant to talk, in fear of being exploited. What he found, in the process, was the oft-ignored, more human side of gangs, underneath the drugs and violence. He flatly asked them, if they were to be profiled, which aspects of gang life would they want to see emerge in the play. The resounding answer was love. That is, forget the violence, the death, the drugs and all the darker aspects usually exploited by the mass media. The gang members wanted people to know that there exists a human side to the experience. “A lot of people just get caught up in these guys with tattooed faces behind bars,” Flores told me. “That’s what people think gang members are. They forget that it’s someone’s son, somebody’s brother, so somebody’s daughter. That was so the whole idea of what I’m trying th to capture in the play. Not only humanize it, but to show that these hu people are capable of love and being pe loved.” lov The play, however, is not 100 percent drama. Comedic elements pe emerge throughout, so viewers em will not be overwhelmed and emotionally swamped by the subject matter. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a powerful work that leaves a definite mark, pardon the pun—but with Salinas, his comedy background suits his role. Hysterical Chicano and Salvadoran quips emerge between the cracks of the tragedy, giving the storyline occasional bouts of relief from the more sinister material. Above all else, PLACAS is about the universal family dynamic, a concept that doesn’t come easy for many, many people, especially when gangs enter the picture. “That was my message to folks out there involved in gangs, or to kids considering gangs,” said Flores. “This is no joke. Once you’re in, you’re in. There really is no way of getting out.”

A.J.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real specialty is the San Jose version, a delicious dog topped with pico de gallo and radish. That may seem like a strange pairing, but the combination is salty, spicy and quite tasty. Aside from the hot dogs, there are also bags of chips, candy bars and drinks for sale. The place, located right by Caffe Frascati and Pho 69, is more of the grab-and-go variety than a true restaurant. There is no indoor seating, but there is an outdoor table under an umbrella for customers on short lunch hours who want to enjoy a hot dog before heading back to the office. For folks in a real rush, there is a to-go window that lends A.J.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the feel of a street hot dog cart that happens to have a store attached to it. All of the hot dogs are conveniently served in resealable, plastic to-go boxes. The inside is small and neat and sports a counter with a big glass window that displays the motto â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Hot Dogsâ&#x20AC;? and hot dogs being slowly cooked to salty perfection. Those dogs perfume the air with a backyard-barbeque smell. The counter has a big red stripe across it that displays the Just Hot Dogs logo; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a neon hot dog in the window. The staff is friendly and efficient. Overall, A.J.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is perfect for grabbing a quick bite during the day.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Eliza Lamson

*thu

BAILEY THE CHAMP Studio 8, San Jose Thu – 8pm

The San Francisco 49ers’ unofficial motto “Who’s got it better than us?” became a war cry for players and fans last season. San Francisco rapper Bailey the Champ was inspired by his home team’s run to the NFC championship game and created “Who’s Got It Better,” an anthem for the Niner faithful accompanied by a video that quickly went viral. It namedrops plenty of players who are still on the roster this year and stresses the team’s tough, defensive style of

play with gems like “If you can’t take a hit, take a hike.” In the midst of playoff expectations for the current season, Bailey hits the stage at Studio 8 along with San Jose songstress Suryil. (BR)

MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP Rodeo Club, San Jose Thursday – 7pm; $25 The blueprint for heavy metal was already established more than 40 years ago, but it was up to Michael Schenker to create much of the metal-guitar vocabulary, starting with the Scorpions’ debut in 1972. Later, he refined his tools with UFO—sharp midrange guitar tone, punchy riffs and searing guitar solos. There was also the guitar itself, the infamous

black-and-white Flying V, which was almost as famous as he was. In the late ’70s, he formed the Michael Schenker Group and kept the sounds of early metal alive, occasionally rejoining and re-quitting UFO throughout the years. (AC)

JOE JACKSON Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga Thu – 7pm; $42.50-$128 Along with Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, Joe Jackson made some of the best guitar-driven New Wave songs. Later, he moved away from rock and toward jazz. His most recent album, Duke, pays homage to Duke Ellington—except, when Jackson reimagines 15 classic Ellington numbers, he does so in a largely un-jazz way, texturing the songs with guitars, keyboards and

electronics, and jumping around among styles, from world beat, soul and ragtime to Latin music—and a little bit of jazz. His touring group, “the bigger band,” features violinist Regina Carter (who appears on much of Duke). He’ll be playing a lot of the material from Duke, as well as a few old classics. With luck, “Happy Loving Couples” makes the cut. (AC)

ZOMBIE CRAWL Starts at Old Wagon Saloon, San Jose Thu – 6:30pm; $3 before 8pm, $5 after Don’t be alarmed by the undead when they’re downtown tonight. This time, at least, they come in peace—and they come to drink, so be mindful when they’re using the crosswalk. Zombie hordes will converge on Old Wagon Saloon early

to plot their downtown takeover, which includes a plan to break off into groups and infect several area bars simultaneously: the Brit, Splash, La Piñata, Firehouse and Freddy J’s. Proceeds for this fifth-annual event benefit the American Cancer Society—zombies have hearts, too. And with $500 for best costume, no one’s immune from this thundering, bumbling pack of departed souls. (BR)

about the art—with receptions for new shows at area galleries. Anno Domini, for instance, opens an exhibit of outsider art compiled by Hera, while the Art Ark Gallery presents Sally Sherwood’s sci-fi and fantasy creations. The event also roils with lots of music: J-Squared and Case in Theory at Kaleid; Mark VW’s tribute to Jaco Pastorius at Pagoda; and Quasimodal (along with band photos by Anna Larina) at SLG Art Boutiki. Here at Metro, the Odd Numbers will make a rare appearance to help usher in a major show of edgy works by San Jose skateboarder and artist Jason Adams called “Lost and Found.” (See www.southfirstfridays.com for a full schedule.) (MSG)

C<8;<IJ Refuge, Cupertino Friday – 6pm; $7 The South Bay has more than its fair share of Christian metalhardcore bands. The Leaders, one of the loudest, and angriest, hails from Hollister. They channel that pure sonic assault of Hatebreed, but the subject of their rage is the devil and sin. Like Hatebreed, however, they cherry-pick the most aggressive elements of thrash metal and hardcore punk and mash them together into a full-on attack of guttural screaming and a thick wall of distortion, offsetting it, improbably, with a subtle groove. This will be the Leaders’ kickoff show for their big national “Outsiders Tour.” (AC)

J:@JJFIJ=FI C<=KP X-Bar at Homestead Lanes, Cupertino Saturday – 8:30pm; $5 If only those darkly ironic ’70s glamrock bands had been just a little lighter, they might have morphed into indie outfit Scissors for Lefty, which plays bouncy, guitar-centric dancepop. If fun were a crime, Scissors for Lefty would be on death row. The sound conjures up Wham but with a little more oomph. Lead singer Bryan Garza has that low-register melodramatic voice, kind of like Jarvis Cocker from Pulp. It’s all in there: rock, pop, R&B. (AC)

K?<98E>>@IC >IFLGI<ML< Naglee Park Garage, San Jose Sat – 7-9pm; no cover “Drink in Hand” by the Bang Girl Group Revue starts with a strong blast of “woo-woos” evocative of a glorious era of go-going girl power, although the Ronettes probably never declared, “Tequila makes me catty ... brandy makes me angry” and “the kind of guy I prefer is a drinking man.”The vocals—Angeline King, Tish Peterson and Rachel Mae Havens—power along with a punchy beat before making way for a vintage Yardbirdsstyle guitar break. The band’s first album, named appropriately enough Soul Shangri-la, is out this month and proves that Derek See and mates want to go beyond retro nostalgia to reinvigorate the genre. (MSG)

FRANKENWEENIE (PG; 87 min.) Tim Burton turns his

is not an extremely funny movie, and it’s far too rough for young children. The mood is autumnal, looking backward. (Read Richard von Busack’s full-length review on Metroactive.com.) (Opens Fri.)

STARS IN SHORTS (NR; 113 min.) An anthology of seven short films starring some big-name actors. Lily Tomlin, impressively theatrical, dominates the “The Procession,” about a stranger’s funeral; she needs more villainess roles. Neil LaBute scripted two blackouts. In “Sexting,” a pissed-off mistress (Julie Stiles) harangues a barely seen wife at an outdoor cafe. Stiles, in black and white, goes full throttle and full face for several minutes. Stiles is a contradiction: less

than a household name and more than a merely interesting actress, with too much force here for today’s timid directors. The equally wooly “After-School Special” by LaBute is more contrived, with the everrising Wes Bentley as a simmering pick-up artist pushing himself on a woman (Sarah Paulson). LaBute’s problem is that when he sets out to shock an audience, he gets shocked first. A few words about “Steve,” in which a pesky neighbor

(Colin Firth) demands friendship from a London couple (one of whom is a Lancashire-accented Keira Knightley). Those few words: imitation LaBute. (Read a full-length review online at Metroactive.com.) (Opens Fri at Camera 3 in San Jose.)

TAKEN 2 (PG-13; 91 min.) Liam Neeson just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Costarring Famke Janssen and directed by Luc Besson. (Opens Fri.)

BUTTER

1984 short into a feature-length 3-D animated movie. In the bland 1960s small town of New Holland, the precious pup Sparky is hit by a car and killed. Learning of galvanism, Sparky’s master, young Victor Frankenstein (voiced by Charlie Tahan), decides to go through the door that man was not meant to enter. Some passages really flow. Victor, suffering after his dog’s death, endures his day. The revived monster dog is cute, naturally, with a calico patch stitched into his back and a pair of bolts jutting above his collar. When he runs away, Sparky takes refuge in the pet cemetery whence he was disinterred, and turns around three times before settling under his tombstone. All this sounds witty, but Frankenweenie

Robert Young and Constance Cummings play a hysterically insouciant Long Island couple who discover a dead body, after a night of wild partying with equally decadent pals.

Josh Radnor defuses the cradle-robbing vibe by facing it straight on, with Jesse doing a page of calculations about the differences in their ages. At heart, this is a green, tender ďŹ lm, and the excessive tenderness is the reason it falls apart in the last half hour. And like more than a few college nostalgia ďŹ lms, this one has a notable anti-intellectual streak. (RvB)

The story tells of a partnership between a shell-shocked Navy vet of 1950, Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix) and a dapper, biggerthan-life fraud, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

A little misbehavior is part of the ďŹ lm, but Birbigliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passiveness is lulling; Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is only shaped by his careerism.

One gets the very real sense when looking at Madonna in 2k12 that we have in every way reached the endpoint of the 1980s. Where once one was speechless looking at ol’ Madge, a single phrase comes to mind when seeing her now: “It has literally

come to this.” She is, however, still Madonna, and she’s still coming to San Jose for a two-night stand at HP Pavilion, Oct. 6–7, and in the same way that parental advice may not hold the same weight it once did but nevertheless remains at least peripherally relevant, Madonna endures, cementing her place as popculture’s slightly enjoyable mosquito bite. In honor of the queen’s arrival, a moment must be spared (just one) to truly digest what exactly it is that Madonna represents in the vacuum of contemporary culture. Because, as you’re likely to be reminded—often by Madonna herself—she has opened doors for many young people with vaginas and a desire to sing. The door is also often left ajar for spores of the sincere flattery

of imitation (valid or not—here’s looking at you, Lady Gaga, also coming to San Jose, on Jan. 17), but any comparisons seem moot: There will never be a “new Madonna,” because there will never again be a moment like the one when Madonna came into prominence. She is so purely the byproduct of her era that discussions of originality are almost wholly aimless. For instance, believe it or not, Gen Zers, there was a time in which the ironic appropriation of religious imagery was actually a big deal. As in people actually cared. As in affiliates of the Catholic Church actually protested. Now it’s just this side of yawn-inducing (at least in the West), with everyone flipping a cross upsidedown as a way of making a statement. Even Madonna is still beating her own sacrificed horse to death; her current MDNA Tour features cathedral set design and some holy cooing that may be more the result of bad acoustics than aesthetic intention. Either way, Madonna (whose own name stands as a sort of self-fulfilled prophecy) was one of the

first to really push the buttons of all who love that Birkenstock-wearinglong-haired hippie. True, she wasn’t alone. The 1980s was the time when scorned Catholic kids grew up and started putting their religious resentment in their art (Bruce Springsteen completely; the Cure maybe in part). But Madonna did it first, did it best and literally won’t stop doing it, so some sort of praise must be given as a way of shutting her up. She’s elsewhere too, namely any heinous “’80s-themed” party that a friend made you attend. Walk in and feast your eyes on the striking binary: vague neon for the men; eclectic mixing for the women. The whole “throw-and-see-what-sticks” fashion style—which ended up turning into “throw-and-everything-sticks”—was at least partially constructed by the pop star. I’d like to say also that the word “star” in the previous sentence was autocorrected to “store,” and if that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about the current state and inherent nature of pop and music and culture, then I don’t know what does. Yet putting together Madonna’s roughly 300-year career actually proves difficult, because Madonna was really the first pop star to be born simply as a series of images and ideas more than any singular catalogue of songs, or music videos, or film endeavors, or even high-profile relationships. Her most enduring elements are narrowed down to choice photographs taken by Richard Avedon and the like, while she was made up like Marilyn, dressed in Jean Paul Gautier, shot often in blackand-white—and with a similar sense of minimalism applied to her own mythology: girl from Detroit runs off to New York at the height of the city’s fusion of art, music, fashion and energy, and girl exploits punk and pop to culture-dominating effect. This is the story of Madonna; does it really matter how much of it is perpetuated exclusively by Madonna herself ? No one was curating an image meant to sustain itself for some 30 years more than Madonna. She has always been fixated on being a few steps forward. That tactic

*' applies to her music, too; who else has made a career out of pinpointing the sounds coming out of the most obscure alleyways and putting them on the radio roughly six to nine months before they really hit big (think New York clubhouse and the Vogueing movement; electronic house music and “Ray of Light”). The thing about constantly reinventing yourself is that at a certain point, you’re no longer helping define the culture but just struggling to stay relevant in it. Superficiality is embraced as part of the postmodern lens. But Madonna’s legacy is rooted in a genuine belief that those elements hold weight. And when your legacy becomes button-pushing, how much of that provocation is due to an artist’s finesse and how much is due to the public’s inborn sensitivity? Was Madonna ever really that brilliant in how she broached subjects as taboo as sex and homosexuality, or was America just that buttoned up, that unwilling to hear it, that easily shaken? Hard to say for sure; harder to say if it matters. As a pop star who loves to embrace exaggeration and distraction as vital elements of what she loosely called “[her] art,” Madonna has managed to craft herself just as she wants to be seen, even (or maybe especially) now. In that way, she has always positioned herself as a pop star meant to be deconstructed into a series of motifs and ideas, a vague sketch of what the 1980s must have been like—even for people who could have sworn they knew.

This wouldn’t be the last time we’d see the singer in a wedding dress, performing the song and causing a stir on MTV. )%ÉC@B<8GI8P<IÊDLJ@:M@;<F8E;K?< G<GJ@=8CCFLK#(0/0

At the time, it was the product endorsement heard around the world: Pepsi had signed Madonna to a $5 million deal to use “Like a Prayer” in a television spot, and in return sponsored Madonna’s upcoming world tour. But when the clip for the song caused controversy—portraying Jesus as a black man, and Madonna performing sexual acts while he’s nailed to the cross—Pepsi pulled the ad and the endorsement. The public called it sacrilegious; Coke fans couldn’t agree more. *%;8M@;C<KK<ID8E@EK<IM@<N#(00+ Madonna’s appearance on The Late Show on March 31, 1994, made for the most censored television broadcast in network history. The star came under fire for her coarse language—the word “fuck” alone was uttered more than 13 times—as well as speaking exclusively in sexual innuendo, including a memorable moment in which Madonna is asked if her nose ring hurt when it was put in, leaving her with no choice but to clarify that “it always hurts when it’s put in.” Yikes, what would Carson do? +%K?<9I@KE<PB@JJ#MD8)''* It was the pop provocateur’s passing of the torch, by letting Britney Spears open the 2003 MTV VMAs (the 20th anniversary of the awards show) with a wedding dress-laden performance of “Like a Virgin.” Madonna then came on stage to sing with Spears, only to surprise the audience with a steamy kiss with the pop star. Oh, and Christina Aguilera was somewhere on stage, too. ,%ÉN<?8M<89C8:BDLJC@D@EK?< N?@K<?FLJ<ÊD;E8KFLI)'() Madonna has always been skewed to the left, but even her history of antiRepublican political rhetoric didn’t stop concertgoers from scratching their head and asking what the singer was trying to say when she pleaded for Americans to vote for Obama, while simultaneously calling him a Muslim. Madge claims she was trying to be ironic. But just as with the cheerleading outfit she wore two songs prior, everyone in the audience was left confused and more than a little uncomfortable. (All these and more can be easily found on YouTube for repeated shock effect.)

INTERVIEW: DEXTER HOLLAND OF THE OFFSPRING In 1993, underground Southern Californian punk band the Offspring, which just played the San Jose Civic, went mainstream when their third album, Smash, came out. Since then, they’ve had a string of singles and platinum records.

Florence and the Machine LIKE A whole generation of art-pop icons from the 1980s—Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Grace Slick—U.K. singer Florence Welch strikes a delicate balance between tense, over-the-top theatrical rock and infectious, bread-and-butter pop hooks. But she has something her forebears didn’t: acute vocal precision, the kind that singers with vocal coaches at the age of two have. Yet her voice has a natural, classical soul undertone that would impress Adele. Shoreline, Mountain View That’s no shortage of influences for one singer. Yet, it’s a perfect fit for her band, Florence and the Machine, which Friday; 8pm; offers a hodgepodge of musical styles and gets described as $15–$80 art-pop mostly by default. They embrace bits of garage rock, tribal music and angelic overtures, well, at least on the first Florence and the Machine album, Lungs. The 2011 follow-up, Ceremonials, dropped the garage and dance sounds and instead focused solely on harpstrumming, operatic music. The neo-Enya, art-pop gem is an entirely different beast than the band’s first single, “Kiss With a Fist,” which introduced the band in 2008 with an angry, three-chord, dance-punk jam that could almost pass for an Alanis Morissette breakup anthem. Lungs came out a year later and became huge in the U.K.—like Oasis huge— staying on the Top 40 charts there for 65 consecutive weeks as the top-selling album in 2009 and in 2010. The U.S. audience is a little behind, but the massive hit “Dog Days Are Over” quickly erased any lag.—Aaron Carnes

Ă&#x2021;i\cXk`fej_`gĂ&#x2C6;6Ă&#x2020;@ib\[ There are some pretty funny extreme sports, like extreme ironingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;lugging an ironing board to a remote location (like the top of a 1,000-foot rock formation) and, as extremeironing.com put it, combining a dangerous outdoor activity â&#x20AC;&#x153;with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.â&#x20AC;? Less amusing is the extreme sport you seem to favorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all-terrain hurling yourself at a guy who rings you up for sex whenever nobody in his zip code is available. When you want a boyfriend, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send the message that all a guy has to do to get you is sit across from you and eat a burger. Your extremely casual sex partner popped up again, and you not only had sex with him but also cooked him dinner and gave him a complimentary massage. Are you an aspiring girlfriend or an aspiring day spa? Feminism tells us that a woman should be able to do anything a man can do, from becoming an astronaut to

having sex on the ďŹ rst date. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for girls growing up to be astronauts. And obviously, a woman can have sex on the ďŹ rst dateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but because men tend to devalue women they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to chase, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a risk unless all she wants is a little nail and bail. You need to accept that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve blown it with this guy, having trained him to see you as dating roadkill. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starving, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll scrape up some possum steaks; otherwise, thanks, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the $36 T-bone. Your thing with him wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a total loss if you turn it into a lesson in how not to act with men in the future. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just play hard to get; become hard to get. This means developing yourself into a woman who wants a man but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so needy for one that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to bribe him into wanting her with sex and home-cooked gourmet meals. Sure, the way to a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart is sometimes â&#x20AC;&#x153;through his stomach,â&#x20AC;? but only for laparoscopic surgeons taking the scenic route.

ADVICE GODDESS

408.509.8798 Landess & Piedmont

You counted on two people to be the mature adults in your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and then the â&#x20AC;&#x153;honey, doâ&#x20AC;? list became the â&#x20AC;&#x153;honey, dieâ&#x20AC;? list. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to make a girl march into AT&T and ask them to take her off the Family Plan.) As mortiďŹ ed as you are that your boyfriend took your problem out and introduced it around, this is a sign, not that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust him but that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to be there for you when the chips are down instead of turning up the game and crunching extra-hard on the Doritos. Applaud him for his good intentions,

and then make sure he understands your â&#x20AC;&#x153;privacy settings.â&#x20AC;? Next, inform the enemy combatants that your ear is now off-limits for trash talking and that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say goodbye and hang up fast whenever either starts. Ask them to see a mediator to help them work out terms to live by in the immediate future (get names at Mediate.com) and ďŹ nd a therapist to help them over the long termâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for their sake and so seeing them might eventually be more like going to Donny Osmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family reunion than Don Corleoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

TAURUS (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): As I turn inward and

call forth psychic impressions of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead for you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing mythic symbols like whoopie cushions, rubber chickens, and pools of fake plastic vomit. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing popcorn shells that are stuck in your teeth and a dog thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating your homework and an alarm clock that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go off when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to. But as I push further into the not-too-distant future, exploring the deeper archetypal levels, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also tuning into a vision of ďŹ reďŹ&#x201A;ies in an underground cavern. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lighting your way and leading you to a stash of treasure in a dusty corner.

it was the worst of times.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the opening sentence of Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bestselling novel A Tale of Two Cities. The author was describing the period of the French Revolution in the late 18th century, but he could just as well have been talking about our timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or any other time, for that matter. Of course many modern cynics reject the idea that our era is the best of times. They obsess on the idea that ours is the worst of all the worst times that have ever been. When your worried mind is in control of you, you may even think that thought yourself, Gemini. But in accordance with the current astrological omens, I challenge you to be a ďŹ ery rebel: Come up with at least ďŹ ve reasons why this is the best of times for you personally.

CANCER (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life,â&#x20AC;? said Pablo Picasso. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly true for me. I can purify my system either by creating art myself or being in the presence of great art. How about you, Cancerian? What kinds of experiences cleanse you of the congested emotions that just naturally build up in all of us? What inďŹ&#x201A;uences can you draw on to purge the repetitive thoughts that sometimes torment you? How do you go about making your imagination as fresh and free as a warm breeze on a sunny day? I urge you to make a study of all the things that work for you, and then use them to the max in the coming week. LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our culture peculiarly honors the act of blaming, which it takes as the sign of virtue and intellect.â&#x20AC;? So said literary critic Lionel Trilling. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passing his idea on to you, Leo, just in time for the No-Blaming Season. Would you like to conjure up a surge of good karma for yourself? Then for the next 10 days or so, refrain from the urge to ďŹ nd fault. And do your best to politely neutralize that reďŹ&#x201A;ex in other people who are sharing your space, even if they love to hate the same political party or idiot fringe that you do. P.S.: For extra credit, engage in speech and activity that are antidotes to the blaming epidemic. (Hint: praise, exaltation, thanks.) VIRGO (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): One of the reasons

platinum is regarded as a precious metal is that it is so infrequently found in the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust. A second reason is that there are difďŹ culties in extracting it from the other metals itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embedded in. You typically need 10 tons of ore to obtain one ounce of platinum. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good metaphor for the work you have ahead of you, Virgo. The valuable resource youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dreaming of is deďŹ nitely worth your hard work, persistence, and attention to detail. But to procure it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably need the equivalent of several tons of those ďŹ ne qualities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): While doing research in South America four decades ago, anthropologist Claude LĂŠvi-Strauss found an indigenous tribe whose people claimed they could see the planet Venus in the daytime. This seemed impossible to him. But he later consulted astronomers who told him that in fact Venus does emit enough light to be visible by day to a highly trained human eye. My prediction for you, Libra, is that in the coming months you will make a metaphorically

equivalent leap: You will become aware of and develop a relationship with some major presence that has been virtually undetectable. And I bet the ďŹ rst glimpse will come this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Whether or not anyone has ever called you an â&#x20AC;&#x153;old soulâ&#x20AC;? before, that term will suit you well in the coming months. A whole lot of wisdom will be ripening in you all at once. Past events that never quite made sense before will more clearly reveal the role they have played in your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master plan. Relatively unimportant desires youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve harbored for a long time will fade away, while others that have been in the backgroundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and more crucial to your ultimate happinessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will rise to prominence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): In most of my horoscopes, I tell you what you can do to make yourself feel good. I advise you on how can act with the highest integrity and get in touch with what you need to learn about. Now and then, though, I like to focus on how you can help other people feel good. I direct your attention to how you can inspire them to align with their highest integrity and get in touch with what they need to learn about. This is one of those times, Sagittarius. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping you have your own ideas about how to perform these services. Here are a few of my suggestions: Listen with compassionate receptivity to the people you care for. Describe to them what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like when they are at their best. Give them gifts they can use to activate their dormant potential. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever watched tennis matches, you know that some players grunt when they smack the ball. Does that help them summon greater power? Maybe. But the more important issue is that it can mask the sound of the ball striking the racket, thereby making it harder for their opponents to guess the force and spin of the ball that will be headed toward them. The coming week would be an excellent time for you to hunt down a competitive advantage thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comparable to this in your own ďŹ eld of endeavor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Many people seem to believe that all of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christians are and have always been fundamentalists. But the truth is that at most 35 percent of the total are fundies, and their movement has only gotten cultural traction in the last 30 years. So then why do their bizarre interpretations of the nature of reality get so much play? One reason is that they shout so loud and act so mean. Your upcoming assignment, Aquarius, is to do what you can to shift the focus from small-minded bullies to big-hearted visionaries, whether that applies to the Christians in your sphere or any other inďŹ&#x201A;uences. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to shrink any tendency you might have to get involved with energy vampires. Instead, give your full attention and lend your vigorous clout to life-afďŹ rming intelligence. PISCES (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): [WARNING: The

following horoscope contains more than the usual dose of poetry.] Mirthful agitation! Surprising deliverance! I predict you will expose the effects of the smoke and mirrors, then ďŹ nd your way out of the labyrinth. Lucid irrationality! Deathless visions! I predict you will discover a secret youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been hiding from yourself, then escape a dilemma you no longer need to struggle with. Mysterious blessings arriving from the frontiers! Refreshed fertility roused by a reborn dream! I predict you will begin to prepare a new power spot for your future use.
