KENNY THOMAS VIA FACEBOOK

While working at a San Jose State VIP alumni event a few weeks ago, I saw a female worker arrive dressed as instructed with the exception of wearing her hijab for religious reasons. A director—older, male, with what sounded to me like a European accent—began harassing this woman, telling her she cannot wear her hijab and she would have to remove it. The woman said that she couldn’t remove it, and the man began threatening that she would end up having to wash dishes or clean up behind the scenes instead because she couldn’t be serving food in front of people with a scarf on her head. I have been asking around to see if anything has been done, but it seems that nothing has. This is so wrong that a worker would be discriminated against because she was wearing a religious article of clothing.

This needs to go viral in Santa Clara County. This type of #bullying and #mobbing behavior by men against women needs to be called out for what it is. The “boys will boys” excuse is a cover for unacceptable abuses by adult bullies. Schoolyard bullies grow up to be adult bullies! It’s time we said NO MORE!!!

Under Crown Prince MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN, Saudi Arabia has shifted its investments from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, pouring billions upon untold billions of dollars into a litany of tech companies: San Francisco’s DoorDash, Santa Clara-based Nvidia and Menlo Park’s Katerra, to name just a few.

In April, the 33-year-old royal stayed at East Palo Alto’s Four Seasons Hotel to hobnob with Google founders LARRY PAGE and SERGEY BRIN and the search giant’s CEO SUNDAR PICHAI, among a who’s-who of Silicon Valley titans, including Palantir’s PETER THIEL, Y-Combinator’s SAM ALTMAN, Apple’s TIM COOK and Facebook’s MARK ZUCKERBERG. But Wall Street Journal reporter JAMAL KHASHOGGI’s apparent murder at the hands of Saudi Arabian agents Oct. 2 has forced They the tech industry to Did confront its budding What? romance with the oilrich theocratic monarchy SEND TIPS TO that carried out 48 FLY@ beheadings in the first METRONEWS. COM four months of 2018.

For local activists who have tirelessly raised awareness about the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led atrocities in Yemen, it’s about damn time. Members of the Yemeni Alliance Committee rebuked San Jose Councilman JOHNNY KHAMIS back in May for joining a five-day business delegation to Riyadh despite human rights abuses within and beyond its borders.

“Why do you want to bring business to our lovely Bay Area with your war criminals?” SHUKRIA HAKIM asked Khamis at the May 15 council session. “Saudi Arabia has been bombing, killing Yemeni people for over three years. Thousands have died. … Do you wish to invest in bloodshed?”

Khamis said he’s turned down an invitation for a follow-up trip to the kingdom. But at the May 15 meeting, he justified his journey by extolling the power of business to change hearts and minds.

“I think businesses have led the way in many ways to change even U.S. domestic policy on women's movement, on gay rights,” he said.

“So business is a great way to get your foot in the door and start making changes.”

UNPLUGGED Jaron Lanier, considered the godfather of modern virtual reality, argues in a new book that intentionally addictive online networks undermine truth and makes us all miserable.

Anti-Social Tech pioneer Jaron Lanier makes the case for opting out of social media

in the terms of modern cognitive brain science. In his well-known provocative and blunt style, Lanier gets right to the point in Ten Arguments’ chapter headings: “Social Media is Making You Into an Asshole,” “Social Media is Making You Unhappy,” “Social Media Hates Your Soul.”

BY WALLACE BAINE

Cruel Circuits

L

IKE JACOB MARLEY in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the moldering ghost of psychologist B.F. Skinner haunts the pages of Jaron Lanier’s new self-explanatory manifesto Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.

Today, most people might only vaguely recognize Skinner’s name from Psych 101 classes. But in the 1960s and ’70s, Skinner and his work were front and center in the national conversation. Promoting a theory that came to be known as “behavior modification,” Skinner considered humans easily programmable animals, vulnerable to all kinds of

manipulation and coercion—mostly beyond conscious reasoning— through a regimen of rewards and punishments.

During the Nixon era, Skinner’s ideas were wielded by the left in sometimes apocalyptic critiques of television and the advertising industry, and by the right against Soviet-style Communism: Were people being hypnotized on a mass scale by malevolent outside forces into behaving against their self-interest?

Skinner would not recognize the language that we regularly use today to describe contemporary mass communications—trolling, gaslighting, fake news, hate-tweeting, hashtags. But the methods and the outcomes of the social-media age, at least according to Lanier, are straight out of Skinner, recast

As Lanier points out in his book, Skinner’s theories resulted in a lot of cheesy mind-control themes in movies and pop culture. But it’s only now—a couple of generations later, after the rise of internet culture— that mass manipulation and granular surveillance has become a practical business model. These practices on the part of social media companies and other internet giants are, he writes, “unethical, dangerous, cruel and inhumane.”

On Monday, Lanier comes to UC Santa Cruz as part of the Peggy Downes Baskin Ethics Lecture Series with a message that cannot be better articulated than by the title of his book. He’s making the case that the social media world robs people of free will, distorts relationships, creates

9

volunteerism. But it actually backfired totally, and created this hypercentralized system that you can’t even call capitalism anymore. It’s kind of a return to feudal times.”

Lanier’s critique is specific: He’s not lamenting the nature of the internet or the fact that everyone is spending too much time on their devices, or even the structure of social media or people’s desire to connect. His criticism is aimed squarely at a business model that profits from sophisticated manipulation of people’s behavior.

“I don’t think people are being naive,” says Lanier, “and I don’t think people are being cynical. I think people are being addicted.”

OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

destructive addictions, destroys political compromise and progress, and alters the functioning of the human mind, particularly young and developing minds. The most efficacious way out of this emerging hellscape is to delete your social media accounts. All of them.

Permanently. Right now.

Lanier is not exactly a voice in the wilderness in his critique of the world that Facebook and Twitter have given us. Since the inflection point of the 2016 election, the voices of protest against online surveillance and manipulation have grown louder and more varied.

Former Google product manager Tristan Harris is on a mission to convince the world that smartphones have hacked our brains. Aza Raskin, who invented “infinite scroll”—the technology that allows users to scroll feeds continuously—now admits to feeling remorse over his creation and asserts that apps are designed to be addictive. High-profile Twitter users are bailing; actor Stephen Fry said he quit Twitter because “too many people have peed in the pool.” Tech titans have, to various degrees, expressed regret over what the internet has become. Even Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg said “I’m sorry” while testifying before Congress.

But among them all, 58-year-old Lanier stands out as a kind of tech elder statesman. A pioneer in the development of virtual reality, Lanier has in the last decade emerged as a voice of skepticism in tech’s heedless march to a new world order with his books You Are Not a Gadget and Who Owns the Future? As Lanier sees it, he doesn’t have a political ax to grind; he’s just as likely to critique the good intentions of Wikipedia as he is to crack on the ultracapitalism of Facebook.

However blunt and outspoken Lanier happens to be, he works to avoid the hot-take, button-pushing rhetoric that has made online life so miserable. He works at Microsoft. He has relationships with people at Google going back decades. He makes sure you know that he is criticizing systems, not people.

“There’s a lot of really fine people [in Silicon Valley] who have been caught up in a stupid system,” Lanier says in an interview. “The problem is that we’ve painted ourselves into a very complicated, ridiculous corner, where it’s really tricky to figure out how to improve it. Much of the history of the internet was really about idealistic people who wanted to create a society based more on sharing and

The Way Out Ten Arguments goes well beyond economics. Lanier claims that social media destroys exactly that humanist connective tissue that great art works strive to create: empathy. Social media bubbles reinforce tribalism, allowing people to become both victimizers and victims. Even Donald Trump, who is to progressives the walking embodiment of everything awful about the modern age, is a victim in that he’s a Twitter addict, and that has shaped his behavior.

“Elon Musk is another one,” says Lanier. “It’s exactly the same pattern [as Trump]. He became addicted to Twitter.

Then he debased himself and started destroying everything.”

So could it get worse before it gets better? Lanier says yes. “I think there’s tremendous danger in the United States that there will be some kind of theocratic takeover of companies like Facebook and Google. I could see something like Trump complaining, feeling like everyone in the world is against him because that’s his worldview. Then the government would impose an ethics panel on top of Google and Facebook. We would appoint some respected theologians and it’ll progress just as it has happened in China, [with] some sort of ideological control police on the internet. That might sound paranoid and bizarre, but it sounds like a reasonable and possible future for this country.”

Is there a way out? Lanier says that when it comes to systems, none of them are perfect. Entropy always wins. “Humanity has never devised a method of organizing people that hasn’t devolved in some terrible way.”

An inside look at San Jose politics

WEB: SanJoseInside.com TWITTER: @sanjoseinside FACEBOOK: SanJoseInside

SJ Vice Mayor Fined $6,000

CHEAP SHOTS Pam Foley joined her opponent Kalen Gallagher in denouncing misleading mailers

that used doctored images and half-truths to cast the latter in a negative light.

Candidate Condemns SVO’s Attack on Opponent

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH A San Jose City Council candidate has denounced a political action committee’s attacks on her opponent as “horrible” and “seriously off track” with her own commitment to run a positive campaign.

San Jose Unified School District trustee Pam Foley—who’s running against Kalen Gallagher for Councilman Don Rocha’s District 9 seat—held a press conference on Monday to distance herself from Silicon Valley Organization (SVO) PAC mailers that used doctored photos and mischaracterizations about her rival’s voting record to cast him in a negative light.

“Over the course of a week or so, four attack ad mailers were received in the mailboxes of District 9 voters,” Foley said from a podium outside City Hall flanked by business-friendly council allies Dev Davis, Chappie Jones and Mayor Sam Liccardo. “Frankly, I hope that’s the end of it. Two were bad

enough, but four? That is ridiculous and extremely disappointing.”

Though Foley said she’s honored to be endorsed by the SVO PAC, she stressed that she had nothing to do with the ads and that state election laws prohibit candidates from coordinating with independent committees.

“I have not had, nor could I legally have had, any involvement with anyone at the SVO regarding these mailers,” she said. “It would have been a violation of campaign law.”

The mailers authorized by the SVO’s independent expenditure committee use half-truths to accuse Gallagher of misspending taxpayer money, breaking tax law and carpetbagging.

The most alarming one features a touched-up photo that makes it look like Gallagher’s flipping off the camera.

In the original image pulled from his Instagram account, he’s pointing to an “I voted” sticker on his chest. In the photoshopped version, the sticker’s gone

and the image is cropped to make his forefinger look like a middle finger.

Gallagher posted a point-by-point takedown of the hit pieces on his campaign website. The Campbell Union High School District trustee, who advanced to the runoff without institutional support from labor groups or the business community, took the opportunity to tout his independence and condemn the tactics of special interest groups like the SVO. “In the primary election, these special interest groups spent over $225,0000 for our opponent,” he wrote in a message to supporters.

“They are planning on spending another $400,000 in the general election. They are truly frightened that we are going to win despite refusing to sign their loyalty application or accepting their money. Because of this, they are hoping that they can make up things about me and our campaign and that voters won’t see through it.”

San Jose’s Fair Campaign and Political Practices Commission has slapped Vice Mayor Magdalena Carrasco with $6,000 in fines for exceeding contribution limits, missing deadlines and failing to list identifying information about scores of individual donors during her re-election bid earlier this year.

The commission last week offered to reduce the penalty to $2,000 if Carrasco and her campaign manager, policy aide Omar Torres, provide the missing names, addresses, occupations and employers of all contributors.

Santa Clara County Libertarian Party Treasurer Robert Imhoff, who filed the Aug. 10 complaint, urged commissioners to set the fine at $19,269 to reflect the combined amount of improperly documented contributions during the final fundraising period.

Attorneys Steven Miller and Katherine McGrath—the outside counsel from Hanson Bridgett LLP who reviewed the allegations and sustained four out of five— recommended no fine at all, saying the city’s election laws are “often complex” and donors frequently fail to provide mandated information about themselves.

Carrasco and Torres both skipped the Oct. 10 hearing that took place four floors below their office at City Hall. In a statement through her chief of staff, Frances Herbert, the vice mayor said she appreciates that investigators did their due diligence, but disagrees with the commission’s ruling.

“This was a clerical error, and we will track down all the missing information in the next 30 days,” Carrasco said.

Imhoff, however, said the campaign’s rule-breaking reflects poorly on Carrasco.

“The big thing that concerned me was their general disregard for the process,” said Imhoff, whose wife, Jennifer Dousharm-Imhoff, ran against Carrasco in the primary.

“They act like they’re above all this.”—Jennifer Wadsworth

WORLD MUSIC Kronos Quartet take on Trump with new concert, Music for Change: The Banned Countries.

Travel Band Kronos Quartet opens musical borders with new show, Music for Change

BY GARY SINGH

M

ORE THAN ANY other contemporary ensemble, Kronos Quartet—David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello)—pursues and performs music from every corner of the planet.

So last year when Donald Trump decided to implement a travel ban targeting people from specific Muslim-majority countries, the quartet responded by researching, commissioning and now presenting a program of music from those parts

of the world. This Saturday, “Music for Change: The Banned Countries,” takes place in Stanford’s Bing Concert Hall. While the program is not limited to the countries on Trump’s original list, music from Egypt, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Azerbaijan and other countries in or near the Middle East will be emphasized.

Harrington remembers when the White House announced the travel ban. It came right before the Kronos Festival in San Francisco, when the quartet was already performing music from several of the banned countries. As a result, Harrington felt like this music, and music itself, was under attack. A logical response

by the quartet would be to increase its already rich worldly repertoire by introducing American audiences even more to music from places they might not ever get a chance to visit.

This became a responsibility.

“Musicians thrive, and music thrives, when we get to hear as much as we can from as many corners of the world as we can, and from as many different types of instruments and voices and viewpoints,” Harrington said. “That is the strength of music.

And so, at that moment, during that concert I remember thinking, ‘We’ve got to try to counteract this kind of small thinking.’”

The program includes a few world premieres, plus works that Kronos has performed for over 20 years, and many that fall in between. Opening the program will be the haunting piece, Mugam Sayagi, by Azerbaijani composer Franghiz Ali-Zadeh. She first wrote it for Kronos in the early ’90s. Ali-Zadeh’s music combines the Persian, Turkic, Arab and Russian heritage of her home region, but with additional inspiration from 20th century avant-gardists like

George Crumb and Olivier Messiaen.

Harrington says the piece is a great way to open a concert. Later in the program, Iranian composer Aftab Darvishi will premiere a piece called Winds from South. Born in 1987, Darvishi graduated from Tehran University before getting her master’s degree in the Netherlands. In another case, keyboardist Islam Chipsy, who helped Electro Chaabi music explode out of the Cairo slums, wrote a tune called Zaghlala which was then transcribed and arranged for string quartet by Jacob Garchik.

Our idea is to take the listener through this kind of vast experience of musical variety and possibilities, and encourage more listening, and wider listening,” Harrington said. “That’s what I’m hoping this concert will do. It will kind of open some windows and some doors, and allow more music in.”

Other pieces include Wa Habibi (Beloved), a solemn Easter-time hymn that Kronos first discovered while gigging in Lebanon. The tune is often performed in Lebanese Christian churches, but over the years Kronos discovered that the tune might have originated in France. Another tune, Yetzav Ha-El, was inspired by early 20th-century Cantorial music usually performed in Turkish synagogues.

Also on the bill is a world premiere string quartet version of a legendary Afghan folk tune, Bia Ke Berem Ba Mazar, arranged by Milad Yousufi.

All of which exemplifies what now after 45 years has become the Kronos life journey: a relentless endeavor to open up the world’s music for everyone. If the conventional assemblage of two violins, viola and cello can be expanded by transcribing sounds from Middle Eastern instruments or Asian tunings, listeners will develop a much richer musical perspective. There are no border fences between various forms of music.

“This is the kind of thing that musicians have been doing forever,” Harrington says. “If you hear something that magnetizes you, you want to incorporate that into the world that you’re working in. And I think that's what we’re finding—that there are many, many sounds we want to bring into our world. We feel it makes us stronger. It gives us a larger palate. And as a reflection of what a really well functioning society might be, this seems to me to be a good direction.”

Lens Craft Rock & roll photographer Jay Blakesberg has spent a his life capturing the light shed by stars BY WALLACE BAINE

J

AY BLAKESBERG IS part of the generation of photographers who have neatly straddled the line between two radically different eras of photography. That cohort—primarily the youngest of the baby boomers and the oldest Gen-Xers— are old enough to have established themselves in the analog era, but young enough to have successfully adapted to the demands of digital.

15 OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com Jay Blakesberg

BURNING UP Michael Franti, who Jay Blakesberg has photographed numerous times over the course of his career, rides the wave of a massive crowd in August 1993.

Blakesberg, 56, is one of the most prominent names among the Bay Area’s contributions to the list of the world’s greatest rock & roll photographers. In the last decade or more, he estimates he has shot about 2.5 million photos, of which he has kept and archived about 1.5 million as digital files.

But to hear him tell the Almost Famous-like story of his earliest years as a rock-loving aspiring photographer is to experience a world that, in today’s Instagram-ized iPhony environment, sounds positively antique.

Blakesberg was a teenager in the

late 1970s in New Jersey. He would regularly sneak cameras into concerts and take performance shots of the rock gods that he idolized, just because he wanted memorabilia for his bedroom. “I had a darkroom built in the basement of my mother’s house,” he says, “and I would make these 8-by-10s to thumbtack on the wall of my bedroom.”

The first time he was published, he had followed the limo of Jefferson Airplane and Canned Heat guitarist Jorma Kaukonen into Manhattan after a show and got a photo, which he then submitted to a magazine as

a letter to the editor. He was just 16.

A few months later, at 17, he struck up a conversation with a writer at a Grateful Dead show at Madison Square Garden. Afterward, he contacted the writer’s newspaper to offer up his photos. They used two of them. He was paid $15.

“Today, people are published every five minutes on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, whatever,” he says in a FaceTime interview from Barcelona, Spain. “But back then, being published in print, for a 17-year-old kid? That was a huge deal.”

From those promising beginnings, Blakesberg built an impressive career shooting such rock icons as Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, Green Day, Fugazi, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg for such publications as Rolling Stone, BAM, Pulse, Guitar Player, Relix, The Source and more. He’s been one of the Dead’s go-to photographers for more than 40 years, as well as the official photographer for San Francisco’s epic annual free concert, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. He’s shot album covers

TRUCKIN’ In December of 1979, Jay Blakesberg caught a cross-country Greyhound bus to his first Grateful Dead show in California and snapped this shot of Jerry Garcia.

and publicity photos, and he’s published more than a dozen coffee table books of his images. When Tom Petty died a year ago, Rolling Stone used one of Blakesberg’s shots on its tribute cover.

It’s been an amazing career, and it’s all fodder for Chasing the Light, an evening of photos and stories hosted

by Blakesberg on Thu., Oct. 25, at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.

The event, which will also include dinner and wine, will feature the photography narrating his journey through four decades of rock & roll history, with plenty of behind-thescenes photos of iconic names.

It helps that Blakesberg is a naturally gregarious storyteller.

When we spoke, it was after midnight in Spain, and he still took the time to masterfully unspool several namedropping stories, including hanging out with Robert Plant backstage at Hardly Strictly (when Plant wasn’t even performing) and others peopled with larger-than-life rock icons.

The analog world in which

Blakesberg first emerged as a photographer was characterized not only by old technology but by a fundamentally changed attitude toward access. “When I first started going to shows, you just brought your camera and shot the show,” he recounts. “Then all of a sudden, you needed photo passes. Then, it was only you could shoot the first three songs from the pit down front, and I did that. But I was lucky in that I’ve gone from being in the pit to being on stage to backstage to the dressing room.”

A would-be Jay Blakesberg starting out today would have to negotiate a phalanx of publicists and abide by restrictive rules, a far cry from the wide-open access of the past.

“That world’s gone forever,” he says.

“Now, I really won’t go out to shoot something if someone says you can only shoot three songs from the soundboard. I’m not interested in shooting from the back of the room with a long lens in hopes I’ll get something good.”

Blakesberg was originally inspired

SUPER SMOOTH Carlos Santana photographed at his home in San Rafael in March 1999, just a few months before the release of his hit album, ‘Supernatural.’

He likes to use the term “visual anthropology,” especially in connection with his work on the Dead. He got to shoot Jerry Garcia in several one-on-one photo assignments, but since Garcia’s death in 1995, Blakesberg has continued to cover the various permutations that the surviving members of the band have presented to audiences, including the fabled 50th anniversary shows in Chicago and Santa Clara in 2015.

“I’ve been shooting those guys for 40 years, and I see no need to stop now,” he says. “There is such rich pop-cultural history there. What I’m doing is the visual study of a tribe, not only with the band but this whole scene that surrounds it.”

Blakesberg moved from his home in New Jersey to the Bay Area in the early ’80s, and he got his first big break when Rolling Stone asked him to shoot a free U2 concert in downtown San Francisco in 1987. It was the first of about 300 assignments he shot for the world’s most famous

by the work of the godfather of rock photographers, Jim Marshall. “I saw Jim’s photos and I just said to myself, ‘I want to do that,’” he says. “But I really didn’t know how you could get to the point where you could actually shoot rock stars. It took me a number of years to learn how to get photo passes, but little by little, I started getting assignments.”

He first came across Marshall’s photos in Relix, a magazine devoted to the music and culture of the Grateful Dead. He was also inspired by the environment at Dead shows, which exposed to him not only great music but a rich subculture to record with his camera. The Dead rank as the first among equals in Blakesberg’s universe of subjects. In fact, he has two slide show presentations that he usually presents to audiences: the one he’ll be bringing to the Mountain Winery and one devoted solely to the Dead.

Among his many books is Hippie Chick: A Tale of Love, Devotion and Surrender, featuring shots of women at Dead concerts and other events.

rock-culture magazine. He learned early on that he had to augment his live performance shots with candid portraits. So he bought himself a large-format Hasselbad camera that he found in the classified ads in the San Francisco Chronicle—again, it was a different world—and taught himself the principles of portraiture. “It was the only way I was going to compete and make a living as a photographer.”

Then also came the development of his bedside manner. Most of the artists that he shot were people “who had been photographed hundreds of times. They were pretty much over

it. But every time I do a portrait, I still have to make the most brilliant, unique photograph that I can. If I don’t, why would the magazine paying the bills ever hire me again?”

So, he became the master of the fast photo shoot. Artists appreciated his speed and his sensitivity. Neil Young is one of Blakesberg’s subjects with little patience for photos. Once, when he found himself with Young, he asked the great singer-songwriter for a picture beside one of his classic cars. Young agreed but disappeared for a distressingly long period.

“I finally saw him sitting in the

sun,” remembers Blakesberg. “I watched him for a while, then walked over and picked a flower off the tree that was next to him. I handed it to him and just walked away.”

Eventually, old Neil stood up and Blakesberg got his shot.

These days, Blakesberg is as busy as ever, and he’s purely a digital guy. He says he has become a Photoshop wizard in order to make the digital image look as much like film as possible. Such retro digital manipulation has given him a kind of signature look. It’s not enough in today’s world to have a pocketful of Jerry Garcia photos. You still have to compete, and you still have to stand up for the integrity of your profession.

“The biggest problem with being a professional photographer today is that everybody has a camera in their pocket,” he says, “and that has

changed the dynamic across the board. Literally, there are people who will take a cell phone photo and say, ‘OK, here’s my band’s new publicity photo.’ Wait, that’s something a record company used to pay me $5,000 to do, and now your girlfriend takes one shot on portrait mode and you’re good?”

KILLER QUESO The Mami Cheli’s quesadilla is a lot like a taco—only much, much cheesier.

Say Cheese Mami Cheli’s goes beyond tacos with pan-Latin American flavor

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

H

AD PIZZA ORIGINATED in El Salvador, it would taste like the cheesy pupusa at Mami Cheli’s.

First of all, it’s a thing of beauty when it comes off the grill. Some of the cheese oozes out of the dough while it’s cooking. Then it embeds itself on the outside in crisp, lacy patterns like snowflakes made of cheese.

Mami Cheli’s recently opened in the middle of a nondescript strip mall on the corner of Menlo Avenue and El Camino Real in Menlo Park. Once inside, the grasshopper green interior

casts a cheerful glow. That snap of color and a very few mid-century modern accents make up a minimally designed interior. It’s an appealing 21st century take on a taqueria (and pupuseria).

However, those used to the speed and efficiency of a taco truck may be irked by the wait. But be patient. The wait serves a higher purpose, as the tortillas are homemade and individually warmed up on the grill.

Mami Cheli’s serves heavier items, like the burritos and tortas. However, it was warm on the day we went, and we decided to pass on the heavier items, such as tortas and burritos. As described on the menu, there are regular tacos, quesadillas and pupusas and then there are Mami Cheli’s versions of the same

items. The street tacos ($2.95 each) are rather standard, served on top of two corn tortillas, plated with cilantro, onions and salsa. There is a spicy red, a smoky green or an extra hot salsa.

Choose from the usual list of proteins: a vegan option, carne asada, chicken, steak or al pastor pork.

Because it’s almost three times the size of a street taco, Mami Cheli’s taco ($5.29) also accommodates beans and guacamole. We tried one with chicken and one with grilled mushrooms, inhaling both of them with alacrity.

Unless you’re dieting, the pillowy soft flour tortilla is the clear favorite. We also tried Mami Cheli’s quesadilla ($5.75) but it was essentially indistinguishable from the taco, apart from the addition of melted cheese. And if you’re in need of an even greater amount of melted cheese, Mami Cheli’s cheesy pupusa ($4.75) will fill the bill. The other pupusas are satisfying in their own way, but the crunchy and chewy combination of textures in the cheesy variety stands out from the crowd.

Although Mami Cheli’s serves horchata, jamaica and strawberry agua frescas (reg. $2.25, large $3.25), these bebidas didn’t satisfy a sudden

sweet tooth craving. We drove seven minutes to Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto to try out the newly opened Teaquation & Tonic (a previous incarnation in Redwood City is now closed). The culture shock was jarring.

We transitioned from a mom and pop shop to a corporate entity in utero. It operates like a Starbucks—that is, if Starbucks wanted to expand its already innumerable array of beverage choices.

Teaquation & Tonic errs on the side of overstimulation. When you enter the cafe, a random soundtrack competes for your attention with two flat-screen TVs. Then you try to decipher a tea menu that bears some resemblance to an algebra equation. There are green teas and black teas, fruits and infusions, liquor and juices. You can try small plates like bruschetta or sliders. And there’s a case of candy-colored desserts that look artificial and taste synthetic, as if regular baking ingredients had been body-snatched, if you will.

We decided to share an unsweetened black tea with what might have been strawberry juice ($4.75). It wasn’t unlike drinking dishwater. We also tried an Orange and Blac a.k.a. Thai iced tea ($4.75)— that was, according to the formula, only a quarter sweetened. And that’s exactly what it tasted like.

Teaquation & Tonic is right on trend serving matcha cake and macarons. Perhaps less on trend, a gummy slice of chocolate mousse cake ($5). A note on the company website says, “First, we broke up with boba.” The Palo Alto store is a second iteration of a concept that comes across as soulless. The fervor for bubble tea is ongoing. It might have been premature of the owners to have abandoned the simpler pleasures of popping and swallowing those chewy balls of boba.

HEDDA GABLER

Thu, 8pm, $28+ The Pear Theatre, Mountain View Henrik Ibsen’s proto-feminist play Hedda Gabler (first performed in 1891) returns to the stage in a new production at the Pear Theatre. Prepare yourself for a troubled marriage between an emotionally myopic bookworm and his bored, petulant wife. It’s one of the most ill-fated matches in dramatic history. The Norwegian playwright made it clear that 19th-century women should have more options in life than marrying men they don’t love or opting for suicide. In order to ensure an unhappy Nordic ending, the loaded pistols that appear as deadly props are contractually bound to hit their marks. Thru Oct. 28. (JE)

THE FILMS OF FRANKENSTEIN Thu, 7pm, Free Hammer Theatre Center, San Jose Mary Shelley’s gothic classic is more than a horror story. Frankenstein addresses real human issues like technological ethics, hubris and prejudice. Though the novel was published 200 years ago, Dr. Frankenstein and his monster continue to endure within popular culture. From Boris Karloff’s iconic portrayal to 2015’s Victor Frankenstein, the silver screen offers many interpretations. At the Hammer Theatre’s event, “Frankenstein Goes to the Movies,” a panel will discuss a number of these movies and show choice clips. Admission is free, but space is limited and reservations are recommended. (JC)

Michael Jackson tribute artist Michael Firestone is coming to Campbell. Donning the iconic sequined glove, Firestone will tackle some of the King of Pop’s biggest hits, like “Billie Jean,” “Man in the Mirror” and the October-appropriate “Thriller.”

Sure, there can only ever be one Michael Jackson, but tribute shows are as much about tapping into the magic of collective memories as they are about re-creating details of the past.

Firestone and the musicians and dancers who back him up are intent on keeping Jackson’s spirit moonwalking across the stage with I Am King: The Michael Jackson Experience. (JC)

The Bay Area-based Kronos Quartet is known for its innovative approach to string music. In this concert, Kronos uses its powers to break down barriers by taking aim at Donald Trump’s 2017 executive orders restricting travel from predominantly Muslimmajority countries. Drawing from the musical traditions of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, Kronos weaves existing repertoire together with newly commissioned works and collaborations for a program titled “Music for Change: The Banned Countries.” Even though people can’t always travel freely, music often finds a way to transcend borders.

HIGH LIFE Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger and Diane de Beauvau in a limousine in 1976.

Warhol & Chill New Cantor Arts exhibit offers online component for binging on pop art

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

W

ITH ITS LATEST exhibit, “Contact Warhol: Photography Without End,” the Cantor Arts Center has come up with an alternative to binge watching. Instead of spending hours with Queen Elizabeth and her corgis on Netflix’s The Crown, you can pore over a newly acquired digital archive of Andy Warhol’s photographs online.

And just like an evening lost to streaming movies and endless TV series,

you never have to leave your house or change out of pajamas to enjoy the approximately 130,000 photographic exposures collected in sets of contact sheets and negatives.

These black-and-white photographs date from 1976 until Warhol’s death in 1987. That’s essentially the length of the Carter and Reagan administrations.

But instead of populating his lens with jaunts to politicians' houses in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, Warhol went to parties in New York City.

He went to clubs and galas, always surrounded by glamorous, fabulous people whose names now register as ghostly presences on the internet. He

used a 35mm single-reflex camera to capture their images and their fleeting minutes of fame.

Even when the shots are badly composed, and they often are, Warhol and his companions look like they’re thoroughly enjoying themselves.

In 1979 at the Carlyle Hotel, Jerry Hall sticks her tongue out at the photographer while she makes a peace sign over the writer Bob Colacello’s head with one of her long, gracefully extended arms. Her lips are as glossy as her dress. As he takes a swig of beer from the bottle in his hand, Mick Jagger’s eyes are closed to indicate his indifference to the scene. Warhol himself is sitting in the background, his face partially hidden, his body reclining back into the hotel suite sofa. The light at the center of the image shines so brightly it creates a blur. This is what star power looks like on film.

On the Cantor website, you can scroll through two categories: “Negatives” or “Contact Sheet.” You can enlarge each one but the negatives are more immediately rewarding. You don't have to dig very far in order to find

celebrities like Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson posing in profile at the wedding of model, actress and 1970s it-girl Marisa Berenson. An enchanted Huston stares into Nicholson’s eyes and he stares back with his vulpine half-smile. Tucked behind her ear is an enormous tropical flower. They look at each other the way that actors do when they’re playing a part, but Huston’s act is more sincere. The camera captures them as they’re about to kiss but the movie they’re in fades to black before their lips can touch. The photographer lets us imagine what comes next.

When Warhol made the rounds of Studio 54, he embraced the festive debauchery. There’s an open bottle of Cazanove champagne that he pairs with a powdery substance strewn across a table top. Revelers dance in and out of their outrageous costumes. He returns to three young men in tight jeans with feathered hair parted in the middle.

Young women show their skin in sliplike dresses, unfurling their wavy hair.

Everyone is inebriated, stumbling about and squinting. And we see friends of his like James Curley Mellon (d. 1994) and the designer Halston’s partner Victor Hugo Rojas (d. 1993). In 1978, the photographer and the partygoers alike are blissfully unaware of AIDS. There’s plenty of similarly ecstatic homoerotic content like this throughout the collection. For example, in Young man seated at windowsill at 860 Broadway, Warhol poses his model in a square of sunlight, getting him to look pensive or to smile back at the man behind the camera. In another series, this young man also appears at a dinner party where he looks at the photographer with affection. On October 21, Richard Meyer, an art history professor and co-curator of the exhibit, will present a “Queer Warhol” lecture in the Cantor Auditorium. He’ll discuss gay culture in the 1970s and then lead a tour through the galleries. It might be worth your while to get out of your pajamas, turn off your computer and see the collection in person. Meyer might even reveal the identity and history of that beautiful young man seated in a sunny windowsill.

REVIEW

and obtains his bloody satisfaction.

Seeing Red Again IN THE NEW action-horror flick Mandy, we face the question of how much you can gussy up the kind of movie most people have been watching since they were 10 years old.

In 1983, the wary lumberjack Red Miller (Nicolas Cage) returns to the safety of the cabin he shares with his zonked, facially scarred wife, Mandy (Andrea Riseborough, who as in Battle of the Sexes, looks more like a hippie than most of the actual hippies of the hippie years).

Here comes a Mansonoid cult run by Brother Jeremiah (Linus Roache) who, like Charlie Manson, severely overestimates his skills as a musician, and has to kill people to make them pay attention to his LP. Jeremiah sees Mandy, wants her, and captures her with the aid of a trio of demonoids that he summons with a diabolical ocarina—they are ”The Black Skulls,” but Raising Arizona fans could call them “The Three Lone Bikers of the Apocalypse.” To paraphrase The Bride in Kill Bill, Red goes on what the movie advertisements refer to as a Roaring Rampage of Revenge; he roars, he rampages and he gets bloody satisfaction.

Mandy This revenge actioner simmers in neon colors; it’s a carnival of evil, staged in another part of the David Unrated; 121 Mins.

Lynch forest. Director Panos Cosmatos is the son of the Various Theaters, man who directed Rambo (1985). He has inherited his Amazon Prime father’s gift for making a forest look really primeval. In Benjamin Loeb’s strobing, lurid photography, even a mud pit is lit up like a Route 66 motel. Mandy tries and sometimes succeeds to be the kind of movie you should only see after midnight, but a slow pace is fatal to grindhouse. The changes of emphasis and time that are so fearfully disorienting in Lynch are more like dead air here. As the atmosphere is more important than the setup and payoff, this is an artsy recreation of a death trap, instead of a successor to the grindhouse skullbusters of yesterday.

Cage is triumphantly virile. Strung up with barbed wire by these bad apples, suffering his way into transcendence, one can glimpse how fantastic he would have been as Jesus. Cage can do the ecce homo face like nobody else. Mandy is crazy, but studiously crazy. At times it’s a great shuddery acid trip, or the cinematic equivalent of prog-rock; indeed, King Crimson’s “Starless” is featured in Johann Johannsson’s soundtrack. But like prog-rock when it doesn’t work, it’s like the efforts of classical musicians tackling Delta blues with theremins and mellotrons. —Richard von Busack

GOVERNMENT SPENDING ‘Silicon Valley: The Untold Story’ is one of the documentaries playing at the United Nations Association Film Festival.

World Savers

The dangers and pleasures of a troubled world on display at UNAFF

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

B

RINGING MORE than a hundred documentaries from all corners of the troubled world, the United Nations Association Film Festival is sponsored by a group aiming to support the goals of the UN. This year’s fest is titled “Tomorrow?”...as in the question of how long humanity has if it continues on the current path.

Unpreviewed is the opening-night film, Poisoning Paradise by Keely Shaye Brosnan, on the subject of the dosing of Kauai with pesticides. The executive

producer and director’s husband is an actor and organic gardener named Pierce. He’s saved the world a few times himself, and he may or may not also be on hand for the festivities.

Opening for Poisoning Paradise is Irina Patkanian’s short, Little Fiel. The documentary recalls a UN motto taken from Isaiah 2: 3-4, and illustrated by Yevgeny Vuchetich’s statue of a man beating a sword into a plowshare.

(Note that Vuchetich, having made this famous statue viewed by all who visit the UN headquarters in NYC, also created a monument to the battle of Stalingrad, with Mother Russia wielding the largest sword in the world.)

Mozambican sculptor Fiel de Santos acquired guns from a national

buyback program, and he uses his art to make sure they never kill again. The Mozambique civil war, which ended in 1992, left a million dead and loads of armaments behind. De Santos had brothers on both sides and was unable to be at his mother’s deathbed because of the strife. Now he welds and hammers these dead guns into abstract human figures, with the springs as coils of hair and spent cartridges for the joints of the fingers. Three animators bring his work to motion, as de Santos tells the story of his life.

Flight of the Condor is a fascinating story of the contradictions of intellectual property, unfortunately told with a maximum amount of academic starch. At one point, tweed-wrapped narrator Valdimar Tr. Hafstein literally addresses the audience from a leather wing-chair.

The framing is perhaps immaterial, since Prof. Hafstein’s field is the subject of what UNESCO describes as “intangible heritage”—the jewels of any given culture.

“El Condor Pasa” is a doleful audio blight at farmer’s markets everywhere.

Appropriated and bleached, the song became exactly what critic Steve

Almond called “Africa” by Toto: “The child of colonialism and muzak.”

Paul Simon heard a version of a Quechua traditional titled “I am the dove that was lost from the nest” being performed in Paris by an Argentinian band, before recording it as his megahit “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” However, “El Condor Pasa” was nominally the copyrighted composition of a Peruvian folklorist named David A. Robles (Simon had to settle out of court with Robles’ son).

The elder Robles had used the old tune in a miner’s struggle-themed operetta a century ago. In the 1970s, Bolivia’s military junta tried to seize the rights to “El Condor Pasa” to give themselves heartland credibility—much as, say, a lifelong New York millionaire might slap on a red baseball cap to show his solidarity with the little people. Peru and Bolivia still contend for the honor of the composition of the “Louie, Louie” of the altiplano. Some might reply that if that particular song went to the Andes and never came back, that’d be super.

The UNAFF mixes consideration of cultural artifacts with warnings of dire environmental threats, bits of stray history and occasional victories by the good guys. This was the fest that alerted us to the problems of fracking when it gave Gasland its local debut. This year the festival brings us Generation Zapped, questioning the health hazards of cellphone use by children.

There’s a spot of local interest as well. Two-time Peabody Award winner Michael Schwarz has a documentary on Silicon Valley: The Untold Story. Schwarz tackles the high fail rate of start-ups, and the importance of Department of Defense money in the rise of the valley. The story of all that government moolah somehow got swept aside in favor of libertarian fantasias of frictionfree labor and lone dreamers. It’s as if, to contradict the proverb, there was only one father for every success.

Here’s a healthy mix of information, from documentaries that make you feel like you’re looking into your open grave to films that deliver unexpected bursts of realizable hope that go far beyond mere bumper-sticker sized platitudes.

Wine Country Sonoma County’s Easy Leaves tap into an unmistakably California country sound

BY WALLACE BAINE

K

EVIN CARDUCCI, one half of the North Bay country-music duo the Easy Leaves, was on an entirely different musical path when one day years ago he stepped into a roadside bar somewhere in rural northwest Pennsylvania.

Carducci grew up in the postNirvana era, playing a sludge of punk and hippie music in his band.

Shortly after his drummer split, he and a friend went to a jam session at a tavern “way out in the sticks” called the Northgate Inn, obviously a place the Nirvana era never reached.

“So, there’s all these old guys in their NASCAR jackets,” remembers Carducci.

“I mean, definitely people we would not have been politically aligned with, if we ever went down that road. But we all bonded over music.”

These guys were country purists— Hank, Willie, Merle, Waylon, etc.—and they were in the habit of singing old country songs all night long, backed up by fiddlers, guitarists, dobro players. The bar had a rule: If you brought an instrument and could lead the group in a song, you could drink for free.

“They threw us right in the fire,” says Carducci. “Y’know, ‘C’mon boys, sing us a song!’”

Thinking fast, Carducci and his buddy played a song from an old Garcia and Grisman album and Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel,” which at the time was the one country song every hipster knew.

They drank for free that night.

Soon after, Carducci was finding himself singing the harmony parts in old Louvin Brothers songs while driving. He’d gone country.

Today, from their home base in Santa Rosa, Carducci and his musical partner, Sage Fifield, have carved out a path for old-school country as the Easy Leaves. With two full-length albums and two more EPs to their credit, the Leaves are making a stand for California-style country music, a kind of Sonoma County take on the Bakersfield sound of Merle Haggard and Buck Owens.

“Back in the ’60s, when Nashville was doing more lush, pop-oriented stuff, the Bakersfield sound was more rough and raw,” says Carducci. “Now, you’d associate the difference to Americana vs. pop-country.”

On Wednesday, Oct. 24, the Easy Leaves will play alongside Puget

Sound-area country crooner Karl Blau at the Art Boutiki in San Jose, as part of their “Haunted Honky Tonk” tour.

The performance comes on the heels of the release of their latest product, The Wheels EP, a collection of sweetly burnished honky-tonks and country rockers that would make the fellas at the Northgate happy. At the same time, the Leaves have a firm grounding in the kind of desert country-rock popularized back in the ’70s by Gram Parsons, the Eagles and others.

Though Carducci grew up in the Midwest, Fifield originally hails from California’s Gold Country, and much of their music is shot through with California imagery (The title song on The Wheels muses from the point of view of someone driving west through the Sierra foothills: “The Central Valley glowing like a lake of golden dust”).

The two often play as an acoustic duo with Fifield on guitar and Carducci on stand-up bass. But they’ll also perform as a full band, dipping deeper into the well of honky-tonk. For more than a decade, they’ve played the West Coast circuit from a home base in the venues of Sonoma and Napa counties.

“It’s a laid-back community, full of real down-to-earth folks,” says Carducci, “working people who support each other and have really supported us. We have the wine country up there, too, so people love to party up there, too.”

They’ve also toured widely and shared a bill with such luminaries as Ry Cooder, Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yoakam and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Even though they’ve been at it for more than 10 years, Carducci says that he and his partner are still students of the country tradition.

“I’ve always loved digging into the old stuff,” he says. “There’s so much great music that existed before I was even alive in this world. You could almost spend your entire life just listening to stuff that was made before you were born and still not get to all of it.”

OPENING

”I hit it off with this guy I met on Match.com. We’ve been dating for a month and slept together twice. He said he’d delete his Match profile because things were going so well, so I deleted mine. Recently, a mutual friend told me he’d just gone on Tinder. I’m super upset, and though we didn’t have the exclusivity talk, it seemed implied.—Dumbfounded

By AMY ALKON

Okay, so it seems he didn’t quite get around to mailing out the formal invitations to the funeral for his freedom.

Now, the guy may be an out-and-out lying cad, cooing commitment-y things to you that he never intended to follow through on. However, it’s also possible that he was legit enthusiastic in that moment when he offered to delete Match, confusing the buzzy high of a love thing that’s brand-new with a love thing that’s really right.

Neuroscientist Wolfram Schultz discovered that things that are new to us—people, relationships, pleasureproducing substances—activate our brain’s reward circuitry and its chemical messenger boy, dopamine, in a way things we’re used to don’t.

In fact, Schultz’s research suggests that “novel rewards” may be two to three times more dopamine-elevating than delishy stuff we’ve previously experienced. This motivational downshift comes out of how dopamine neurons are, in a sense, fortune-teller cells; they predict how rewarding things or situations will be. Dopamine, contrary to what countless books and articles contend, is not a “pleasure chemical.” It does not generate a heroin rush-type euphoria.

It’s stimulating. It drives wanting and

seeking, motivating us to explore new stuff that might enhance our ability to pass on our genes.

After dopamine calculates the difference between the initial high a thing gave us when it was new and its current level of more meh rewardingness, it can push us to go out and chase the initial high—seek some new provider, and then another and another: “Sure, I could have a stable adult relationship—or I could continue my groundbreaking research into The Tramp Stamps Of Tinder.”

This is not an excuse for this guy’s lack of forthcomingness but a possible explanation for why he said he’d delete Match but then signed right up for Tinder.

It’s also possible the powerful human fear of regret is at play. Going exclusive with you would mean waving bye-bye to the rest of womankind. It’s possible that he and his penis feel the need for a second opinion.

The problem from your end is that your wanting to go exclusive with him is the dating version of the impulse purchase.

A month in, you don’t have enough information to judge his character, see whether he’s boyfriend-grade, and see whether there’s, uh, brand loyalty. You should be just starting to see who he is and reserving judgment.

I’m a woman who wants a serious relationship, and a happily married friend is urging me to go on Jdate. I’m not Jewish and not interested in converting.

Wouldn’t people be mad I’m on there?—Husband-Seeking Men on FarmersOnly would be understandably annoyed if I posted a profile there, as my idea of farming is keeping a houseplant alive.

But this site is called Jdate, not JewsOnly. Sure, some will be annoyed to find a nice non-Jewish girl there, but there are others—like atheists from Jewish backgrounds and not very observant Jews—who might not find it a deal breaker.

Cognitive neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga estimates that 98 percent of our brain’s activity is subconscious, including some of our decision-making.

A man seeking a relationship can have his short-term mating standards

triggered without his knowing it while going through women’s profiles online.

Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt find men in shortterm mode are prone to lowering the bar on “their mate preference standards ... across an array of mate qualities, including personality, intelligence and even attractiveness.”

Religion is surely one of these. Recognize this risk from being on Jdate as a non-J. If you do end up dating a Jewish guy, do your best, as early as possible, to suss out whether questions like “But what religion will the children be?” would lead to his following this poetic advice: “Do not go gentile into that good night.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Humraaz is a word in the

Urdu language. Its literal meaning is "secret sharer." It refers to a confidante, a person in whom you have full trust and to whom you can confess your core feelings.

Is there such a character in your life? If so, seek him or her out for assistance in probing into the educational mysteries you have waded into. If there is no such helper you can call on, I advise you to do whatever's necessary to attract him or her into your sphere.

A collaborative quest may be the key to activating sleeping reserves of your soul wisdom.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Roberto

Bolaño suggests that the world contains more beauty than many people realize. The full scope and intensity of this nourishing beauty "is only visible to those who love." When he speaks of "those who love," I suspect he means deep-feeling devotees of kindness and compassion, hard-working servants of the greater good, and free-thinking practitioners of the Golden Rule. In any case, Taurus, I believe you're in a phase when you have the potential to see far more of the world's beauty. For best results, supercharge your capacity to give and receive love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Once upon a time you

were walking along a sidewalk when a fairy floated by and whispered, "I'm willing to grant you three wishy-washy wishes for free. You don't have to do any favors for me in return. But I will grant you three wonderfully wise wishes if you perform three tasks for me." You asked the fairy, "What would those three tasks be?" She replied, "The second task is that you must hoodwink the devil into allowing you to shave his hairy legs. The third task is that you must bamboozle God into allowing you to shave his bushy beard." You laughed and said, "What's the first task?" The fairy touched you on the nose with her tiny wand and said, "You must believe that the best way to achieve the impossible is to attempt the absurd."

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Crabs tend to be

the stockpilers and hoarders of the zodiac. The world's largest collections of antique door knobs and Chinese restaurant menus and beer cans from the 1960s belong to Cancerian accumulators. But in alignment with possibilities hinted at by current astrological omens, I recommend that you redirect this inclination so it serves you better. How? One way would be to gather supplies of precious stuff that's really useful to you. Another way would be to assemble a batch of blessings to bestow on people and animals who provide you with support.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Chinese mythology tells us

there used to be 10 suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake and placed them in a giant mulberry tree.

From there, one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrangement. The week had 10 days back then, and each sun got its turn to shine. But the siblings eventually grew restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens at once. It was fun for them, but the Earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just the right amount of light and warmth. The old tales don't tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You now have maximum

command of a capacity that's a great strength but also a potential liability: your piercing brainpower.

To help ensure that you wield this asset in ways that empower you and don't sabotage you, here's advice from four wise Virgos. 1. "Thought can organize the world so well that you are no longer able to see it."—psychotherapist Anthony de Mello 2. "Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable."—poet Mary Oliver 3. "I like to wake up each morning and not know what I think, that I may reinvent myself in some way."—actor and writer Stephen Fry 4. "I wanted space to watch things grow. —singer Florence Welch LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time," wrote Libran author Oscar Wilde. "The reason is that they bring answers to questions which have

By ROB BREZSNY week of October 17

not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a long time after the answer." That's the weird news, Libra. You have been waiting and waiting to understand a project that you set in motion many moons ago. It has been frustrating to give so much energy to a goal that has sometimes confused you.

But here's the good news: Soon you will finally formulate the question your project has been the answer to. And so at last you will understand it.

You'll feel vindicated, illuminated, and resolved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many seekers who read horoscope columns want commonsense advice about love, career, money and power. So I hope I don't disappoint you by predicting that you will soon have a mystical experience or spiritual epiphany. Let me add, however, that this delightful surprise won't merely be an entertaining diversion with no useful application. In fact, I suspect it will have the potential of inspiring good ideas about love, career, money or power. If I had to give the next chapter of your life story a title, it might be "A Thousand Dollars' Worth of Practical Magic."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1962, when she

was 31 years old, Sagittarian actress Rita Moreno won an Academy Award for her role in the film West Side Story. In 2018, she attended the Oscars again, sporting the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony 56 years before. I think the coming weeks will be a great time for you, too, to reprise a splashy event or two from the past. You'll generate soul power by reconnecting with your roots. You'll tonify and harmonize your mental health by establishing a symbolic link with your earlier self.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Committee to

Reward Unsung Good Deeds hereby acknowledges your meritorious service in the trenches of the daily routine. We praise your tireless efforts to make life less chaotic and more coherent for everyone around you. We're grateful for the patience and poise you demonstrate as you babysit adults who act like children. And we are gratified by your capacity to keep long-term projects on track in the face of trivial diversions and petty complaints. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you please intensify your vigilance in the next three weeks? We need your steadiness more than ever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You need a special

pep talk that's best provided by Aquarian poet Audre Lorde. Please meditate on these four quotes by her. 1. "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence; it is self-preservation. 2. "We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings." 3. "You cannot use someone else's fire.

You can only use your own. To do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it." 4. "Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me." 5. "The learning process is something you can literally incite, like a riot."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning: My horoscopes may interfere with your ability to rationalize your delusions; they could extinguish your enthusiasm for clichés; they might cause you to stop repressing urges that you really should express; and they may influence you to cultivate the state of awareness known as "playful wisdom." Do you really want to risk being exposed to such lavish amounts of inner freedom? If not, you should stop reading now. But if you're as ripe for emancipating adventures as I think you are, then get started on shedding any attitudes and influences that might dampen your urge to romp and cavort and carouse.

Homework: Forget all you know about gratitude. Act as if it's a new emotion you're tuning into for the first time. Then let it rip.
