The Real MVP I was filming the joyous celebration of thousands of fellow Sharks fans leaving the Tank after the incredible comeback Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1 Game 7 OT win. There were so many of us that we spilled off the sidewalk into the bike lane on Santa Clara Street. Cars and vehicles were beeping their horns to the beat of "LET'S GO, SHARKS!" It was fun and chaotic, and then you, kind sir, grabbed my shoulders and spun me around fully to save me from getting hit by a car. I actually have your face on film, in your Sharks sweater, and I really appreciate your swift action so I wouldn't get hurt. Pavs already spilled blood on ice, so we didn't need a fan getting hurt, too. Fellow Sharks fan, you're the real MVP.

Not taking this is what looks good to the average Joe, but this isn’t the reality. When you take a job, you should be compensated at a market value. If the mayor’s or the council’s pay stays low, then it pushes out some who would be qualified to serve.

THE FLY

No Surprise Anyone who dealt with TOM WILLIAMS during his tenure as Milpitas city manager could’ve warned Millbrae when it hired him on for the equivalent position last year. But the Peninsula ‘burb has to learn the hard way—in a told-you-so moment brought to you by everyone who’s ever sued him for retaliation and harassment—that the bureaucrat hired to lead the city has a terrible temper and a penchant for bending the rules to get his way. On Monday, lifelong Millbrae resident MARCIA PEREZ emailed Mayor WAYNE LEE about an upsetting phone call earlier that day from Williams, who allegedly threatened to “come down hard” on them for blight and hurled a barrage of insults and accusations They for 30 seconds before Did she could get a word in edgewise. “His What? abrasive and coarse SEND TIPS TO approach had me very FLY@ concerned,” she told METRONEWS. Lee. “We just do not act COM this way in Millbrae.” Though Perez introduced herself by name at least three times, she says Williams insisted on calling her Ms. Sanchez, repeatedly interrupted her and questioned whether she’s even from Millbrae. She is—not that it matters. “Regardless of where any of your business owners live, we should be treated with respect,” she wrote. Perez says she asked Williams why he didn’t just email her “like a city normally does.” Based on his track record in Milpitas, she concluded that it’s because he’s “learned not to create a paper trail.” “It should be noted he has a dark history of unethical dealings with property developers,” Perez stated. “My mother is almost 90 years old—does he smell vulnerability?” The call was more than just personally insulting, Perez said: it made her worry about retribution, since he oversees the city’s planning and permitting division. “I fear,” she said, “that the city of Milpitas’ nightmare is now ours.”

LIFE LESSONS Instructor James Falcone says his students come out of Silicon Valley Career Technical Education’s HVAC program eligible for jobs with starting salaries of $60,000 a year.

Training Days Funding uncertainty threatens to end region’s oldest jobs training center BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

N THE DECADE he’s taught heating, ventilation and air-conditioning at Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE), James Falcone has received a fortune in donated equipment from companies wanting to support the program that trains their future workforce. Over spring break, however, the instructor fielded an incredibly generous offer. Ernesto Yanez, the 62-year-old owner of Master Maintenance, phoned Falcone’s department looking for a student with the chops to eventually take over his 27-year-old HVAC company. To Falcone, the call affirmed what

he’s always told the high schoolers and young adults at the vocational school: that a wealth of opportunity awaits in blue-collar industries. For Yanez, who’s preparing for retirement, it’s a way to pay things forward as he winds down his own career. “This training leads to a very good future for a young person who wants this,” says Yanez, whose interest in the field stems from a childhood enduring Southern California’s desert heat. In a nearby lab, students hammering together wood frames don vests from Swinerton Builders and other local construction companies hoping to lure prospective hires from the class for jobs that start out at $28 to $30 an hour. A door over, banners advertising Cupertino Electric and Therma adorn the

electrical engineering lab, where instructor Ray Sugden prepares students for work that can earn them a six-figure salary within five years. During last year’s devastating wildfire season, Cal Fire approached the school’s fire science academy, promising to hire every graduate from the program. In the automotive services division, classrooms tinker on cars donated by Subaru. Similar school-to-career pipelines are forged at SVCTE through 24 programs in about a dozen industry sectors, including fashion, cybersecurity, forensic science, vehicle mechanics and coding. But the future of the courses that foster those kinds of connections in Silicon Valley’s booming STEM, blue-collar and “new-collar” jobs sectors is headed for disaster. Without more funding, officials say the Metropolitan Education District—the long-running agency that runs the training center known as MetroEd—will become insolvent within the few years. Despite upping enrollment from 1,110 to nearly 1,400 in the last five years, its budget fell from $15.7 million in 2007-08 to $11 million by the latest count. At this rate, MetroEd faces $3.3 million in deficits through mid-2021.

Tseng, who represents the Los Altos-Saratoga district for MetroEd, says people are quick to voice support for career training programs but slow to put back it up with financial resources. “It’s hard to access money once it’s already put into someone else’s pocket,” Tseng explains. The switch to the so-called Local Control Funding Formula, which impacted all public career centers in California, coincided with MetroEd Superintendent Alyssa Lynch succeeding Paul Hay as head of the agency. Like her predecessor, who steered the organization through the recession in the late ‘aughts, Lynch had to make some tough decisions. “Unfortunately, we have lost well over 100 employees due to the reduction in state funding,” she says. “The cost of employee benefits continues to rise, and the cost of doing business continues to rise.” Transportation costs increased this past year by $300,000 as funding continued to fall off. Grants that sustained MetroEd for the past few years are coming to an end. While the six local districts continue to fund the agency, Lynch says it’s not enough to keep up without making more desperate cuts. Financial constraints notwithstanding, Lynch managed to replace a dozen low-enrolled sections with as many high-demand science and technical courses during her tenure. She also boosted the number of corporate partnerships up to 125 and certifications, apprenticeships up to 60 and available internships for students up to 450. The average pupil per section rose from 17 to 24 as the rate of students going on to college grew to 44 percent. If only that were enough. “We can no longer keep pace with other districts with salaries and raises,” Lynch says. “Our districts struggle with funding issues as well with many families moving away from Silicon Valley.” Unless the joint powers authority comes up with a new master agreement that siphons additional funding to MetroEd, Tseng says she doesn’t know whether the district will survive. Time is running out. The current agreement sunsets on June 30. If the board fails to drum up a revised version by then, the current pact will roll over. Lynch and her

“We feel so hopeless,” MetroEd board president Katherine Tseng says. “People want these programs, but if we don’t take care of the financial side, then we just cannot sustain them.” It’s a dire forecast, but fellow trustee J. Manuel Herrera says it’s no exaggeration. Because the district has to budget three years ahead without knowing how much money it will get beyond that first academic calendar, he says, it has to brace for the worst. “The way that funding is made available in public education is literally insanity,” Herrera laments. “And that’s completely compounded by the fact that MetroEd is a joint powers agency.” MetroEd has existed in some form or another since San Jose High School began offering adult education in the 1860s. But its current iteration traces back to 1983, when six districts— Campbell Union, San Jose Unified, East Side Union, Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School, Milpitas Unified and Santa Clara Unified— created a joint powers agency with its own board and staff to provide career training and adult education. Teaming up helped participating districts avoid duplicating courses and afford expensive equipment and facilities for classes in about a dozen industries, including culinary arts, fire science, law enforcement, construction, electrical engineering and other skills in high demand here in Silicon Valley. Having so many stakeholders at the table made governing the agency more complicated, especially once California enacted reforms in 2013 that gave districts more control over their finances. Instead of channeling funding directly to MetroEd, the state allocated it to those six participating districts. That made already heated budget talks at MetroEd all the more contentious, as the appointed board butts heads with an advisory executive council made up of each district’s superintendent and their chief business officer. One superintendent threatened to terminate state grant funding dedicated to MetroEd, and two toyed with the idea of withdrawing from the joint powers agreement, which would dissolve the agency entirely. A source with knowledge of the negotiations characterized the conflict as “an attempt to “bully MetroEd and undermine the authority” of its governing board.

An inside look at San Jose politics

THIS IS WAR Bryce Druzin, who used to write for the Silicon Valley Business Journal, was charged with felony vandalism after tagging “Yemen” on the defense manufacturer’s Palo Alto offices.

Ex-Reporter Arrested for Protesting Lockheed Martin Weapon Sales BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH Bryce Druzin said he’s followed news of the U.S.-backed Saudi war in Yemen with increasing dismay since the conflict broke out in 2015. But this past weekend, he felt compelled to express his horror over the world’s worst humanitarian crisis by risking arrest. The 34-year-old South Bay native marched in broad daylight Saturday to Lockheed Martin’s Palo Alto offices and spray-painted the word “Yemen” in blood-red letters over the defense contractor’s signs to protest its weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. At the base of some stairs leading to the main entrance, he scrawled “8-9-18,” the date when a Saudi-led coalition dropped a 500-pound, laser-guided Lockheed Martin-made MK 82 bomb on a school bus, killing dozens of children. Druzin then called Palo Alto police and waited outside the Hanover Street facility for them to take him

into custody. Authorities booked him in jail on charges of felony vandalism, releasing him the next morning on his own recognizance. In an email to Metro Sunday, Druzin—a former Silicon Valley Business Journal reporter turned “9to-5 cubicle guy” by day and standup comedian by night—described his civil disobedience as partly a response to President Trump’s veto of bipartisan legislation to end U.S. involvement in the Yemen war. By targeting Lockheed Martin, he wanted to call attention to the weapon maker’s willingness to cozy up to the likes of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who visited the company’s Sunnyvale campus last spring. Druzen cited Congressman Ro Khanna (D-Fremont) as an inspiration for his protest. Khanna expended tremendous political capital to lead a rare bipartisan coalition

of progressive and conservative lawmakers to pass the War Powers Resolution through Congress, which aimed to claw back combat-approving authority from the president. GOP pols who backed the anti-war resolution deserve credit, too, Druzin added, particularly Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who last fall delivered “the most profound,” anti-war speech “just oozing with humanity.” Hopefully, Druzin said, his protest inspires students at nearby Palo Alto High and Stanford University to walk out on a school day to protest Lockheed Martin for continuing to profit off of the Yemen war. “I grew up in Palo Alto, and it’s just embarrassing to have this company in my hometown,” he explained in a phone call Monday. “We should all be embarrassed. I mean, if we have a neighbor who helped kill tens of thousands of people, I wouldn’t want them in our neighborhood.”

SVNEWS

staff have been aggressively lobbying for a new agreement, which remains a tenuous proposition even after eight board study sessions and about a dozen other meetings with the leaders of each district. Troubled by what he sees on the horizon, Hay emerged from retirement in Oregon to draft an urgent call to action. In his assessment dated March 29, the former MetroEd superintendent stressed how disquiet about the agency’s future undermines the health of the agency. “From my experience, the adversarial and contentious tone by some during funding negotiations, and the constant uncertainty about the future solvency of the [joint powers agreement] takes a toll on the morale of the MetroEd and SVCTE staff,” he wrote. “I lost employees because of the uncertainties, and I understand Alyssa has as well. For the most part (Milpitas was always the exception), it has felt that funding by the districts was provided reluctantly.” MetroEd trustees describe feeling a moral imperative to maintain continuity in the district, which they say has lifted thousands of people out of poverty and given students an alternative to four-year college degrees. “Every meeting of the MetroEd board, we hear one or more testimonies directly from students who are in the programs or are recently graduated from the programs, and it can bring tears to your eyes,” Herrera says. “Students who were falling through the cracks in mainstream schools, who found purpose in life to succeed in this challenging economy.” Students like Rick Settle, 17, who walked into Falcone’s class at the start of the school year feeling somewhat intimidated by the complicated machinery in the lab. As he’s closing out a second semester in the program, he says he’s confident enough to apply for that job with Yanez at Master Maintenance. “Definitely,” he says excitedly,” that looks like a great opportunity.”

FERTILE GROUND San Jose State’s Interdisciplinary Science Building should help bring the university into the modern age.

Sci-Rise SJSU takes a big step toward becoming a ‘metropolitan university’ BY GARY SINGH

AST WEEK, a gala groundbreaking hoedown for the new Interdisciplinary Science Building (ISB) at San Jose State University unfolded to serious fanfare. Clocking in at eight stories and $181 million, it is the first new academic building on campus in 30 years. They even had ice cream.

The ISB will transform the status of several academic departments, offering a refreshing update from crumbling facilities and decrepit buildings left

over from 50 or 60 years ago that many are forced to tolerate. In the new building, teaching, research and collaboration will converge in ways previously unseen in the old, outdated structures. Perhaps a few hundred people attended the ceremony, many enduring the direct sun to sit in chairs and listen to the speeches. The event unfolded right where the new building will soon break ground on Paseo de San Carlos, right in front of Duncan Hall. This is the same spot formerly occupied by the University Police Department and the historic Scheller House, a structure that for

most of the 2000s also included the office of Fountain Blues Festival founder and local live music booking pioneer Ted Gehrke, who’d been at SJSU since the early ‘70s. Sadly, Gehrke died in February. Last January, the 200-ton house was lifted in dramatic fashion, then moved into the street and transported all the way around the campus to an empty parking lot where it now sits—all just to accommodate the new science building. While commendable, the process only highlighted the goofy musical chairs nature of campus development. The Scheller House was constructed in 1904 at the corner of Fifth and San Carlos, back when SJSU was known as San Jose State Normal School. Ninety years later, the house had fallen into serious disrepair, with only feral cats interested enough to check it out. University president J. Handel Evans tried to destroy it, only to be stymied in court by the Preservation Action Council San Jose. At the same time, when San Carlos Street still went through the campus, the university

police department was located in a Spanish-style bungalow with a red-tile roof, just steps from the rundown Scheller House. As the university prepared to close off San Carlos, that bungalow was destroyed and the police moved to a new facility inside the Seventh Street garage. In 2002 the Associated Students, with alumni help, raised enough money to restore the Scheller House and rotate it 90 degrees so it could function as the new Associated Students headquarters facing the now pedestrian-only Paseo de San Carlos. The house also doubled as the Fountain Blues Festival headquarters before the festival moved off campus. Now, as time marches on, that same splotch of land will get a new science building and a new botany garden to replace the old one. Beginning in 2022, students will have access to modern science labs, research facilities and collaborative learning environments. Meaning, students can take classes and then walk down the hallway to see lab research taking place in the same building, whether it’s organic chemistry, molecular biology or high-performance computing, all of which will be more integrated than before. Everyone will get to see what everyone else is working on. All of which makes sense. If SJSU wants to be taken seriously as “Silicon Valley’s metropolitan university,” and foster industry collaboration and entrepreneurship, then it can’t continue with crumbling labs that were out of date 20 years ago. And with certain people already talking as if SJSU will eventually include doctorate programs, then certainly the time is right. Not to rain on anyone’s parade here, but I can’t help but observe that the College of Humanities and the Arts never gets anywhere close to its fair share of funding or hotshot millionaire donations like the rest of the campus. The music and art buildings, as well as the English faculty offices, are some of the university’s most archaic structures, yet still greatly contribute to campus and city life. In any case, the ghost of Ted Gehrke will poetically watch over the SJSU campus now and forever. He will make sure that musicians, artists and poets all get their fair share. I’m counting on him.

FUTURE SHOCK Now a technological relic, LaserDiscs were too far ahead of their time.

Before Netflix, DVDs and even the VCR, LaserDiscs opened the door for viewing movies at home BY CHARLIE SWANSON

DON’T KNOW why exactly, but I’ve always been a collector. My first memories are filled with scenes of me picking up rocks and keeping them in a box to look over later, or sifting through my parent’s change to find old coins to keep (I still have a penny from 1896). Once I got into comic books at 8, I found a hobby that let my imagination soar. I collected several thousand comics from Spider-Man to Swamp Thing, lovingly placing each book in a plastic sleeve to protect it. But comic books soon got expensive, old pennies stopped turning up, and the rocks found their way back to the fields where they belonged. I was a collector in need of an obsession. In 2007, I found what I was looking for: a dead media format called LaserDisc.

Silver & Gold My love affair with LaserDisc movies began with a simple mistake, which I made at a Santa Rosa thrift shop called Sacks on the Square. It was there that I spied what I

assumed was the soundtrack to Terry Gilliam’s seminal 1985 dystopian sci-fi film, Brazil. I had been toying with the idea of going all in on collecting vinyl records. I already had a box of old LPs I’d culled from thrift stores. I lifted the 12-inch recording off the shelf to inspect the album artwork and scan the track listing. When I pulled the disc from its sleeve, I was not greeted by the oil-black sheen of pressed vinyl. Instead, my eyes were met by a bright silver surface, which reflected and refracted the surrounding light. “Aquarela do Brasil,” the film’s main theme, echoed in my mind as the circle of plastic bounced a polychromatic rainbow back at me. It was a startling revelation. I was completely unprepared for this glittering, supremely smooth slab of media. Then I saw the words “LaserDisc,” and I realized I was holding a copy of Brazil, the film—preserved in an outdated, oversized and thoroughly obsolete technological format. There were more than 20 LaserDisc films in that lot, which included David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and Sylvester Stallone’s arm-wrestling masterpiece Over the Top. I grabbed them all. As it happened, the thrift store also had a LaserDisc movie player—a Pioneer 16

LASERDISCS

CLD-D406. It was in perfect working condition. I walked out of the shop with the movies and the player. It weighed about 40 pounds altogether. I paid less than $20. I had finally found what I was looking for.

Laser Legacy I’ve learned a lot more about LaserDiscs since that fateful day. Those who even remember the short-lived format may recall using it to watch an educational film at school or perhaps catching Jaws— which was the first film released on LaserDisc in North America in 1978—in the home theater of an early adopter.

Moisture, humidity and heat break down the layers of the disc in a phenomenon known as ‘disc rot’ The technology feels like it belongs somewhere in the 1980s or 1990s, since that is the era when consumers first began buying LaserDiscs and their players. However, the underpinnings of LaserDiscs can be traced back to the late 1950s. The retro tech was first developed by a man named David Paul Gregg— an electrical engineer and a pioneer in the field of information storage. Early in his career, Gregg briefly worked for Ampex in Redwood City before he moved on to Westrex, a Southern California-based subsidiary of the New York-based Western Electric Company. It was while

working at Westrex in the early 1960s that Gregg patented the technology that would make LaserDiscs a reality. Unlike the textured grooves of a vinyl audio record, Gregg devised a system that encoded video information in pits and ridges on transparent discs. These pits and ridges were then read by a laser rather than a stylus. He patented the technology in 1961 and again in 1969, when he sold the patent to Phillips, one of the largest tech and consumer electronics companies in the world. Phillips had already been working on a reflective disc system similar to Gregg’s, and they used his patent to develop LaserDiscs with the intention of selling it as a home video system. To do this, Phillips teamed up with MCA, which owned the rights to the largest catalogue of films at the time, to bring the LaserDisc technology to market, and they demonstrated the technology first in 1972. In 1978, Stephen Spielberg’s classic maritime thriller became the first LaserDisc movie to hit the market in North America. At the time of its initial release, the medium was not actually called LaserDisc. Rather, MCA decided to call it DiscoVision. Along with their own film catalogue, MCA also manufactured discs for other companies, including Paramount, Disney and Warner Brothers. In the early ‘80s, the battle between VHS and Betamax preoccupied camcorder-wielding home moviemakers and those who sought to record episodes of their favorite shows to watch at a later time. LaserDiscs, on the other hand, captured the imagination of cinephiles. It was considered the format for those who were serious about in-home theater systems, as it boasted better resolution than tape and had the ability to store multiple audio tracks on one disc—which gave birth to the director’s commentary feature. LaserDiscs were also the first video format with chapters. Just like with DVD and Blu-ray today, LaserDisc viewers could skip quickly through films and never had to worry about rewinding. This feature led to the creation of LaserDisc-based video arcade games, beginning with Dragon’s Lair in 1983, which wowed gamers

LASERDISCS

LOST ART There are many obscure video releases that may not exist anywhere but LaserDisc.

with smooth animated graphics that were otherwise unheard of in the era of Galaga. LaserDiscs were also an essential teaching tool in the classroom, given that lessons could now be accompanied by illustrations, animations and video interviews to heighten the learning process. In 1984, an upstart video distribution company, the Criterion Collection, began releasing films on LaserDisc exclusively, starting with the release of Citizen Kane and King Kong. This also added to LaserDisc’s appeal among serious collectors. At its peak, 1 million LaserDisc players were operating in North American homes. In Japan, the phenomenon gained even more momentum, with the anime market driving approximately 4 million people to buy LaserDisc players. A collector’s market for LaserDisc is still thriving there today.

Space Oddity Located in a cloistered basement space just a short walk from San Jose

City Hall on Santa Clara Street, the Gameshop Downstairs is a treasure trove of vintage and contemporary video game paraphernalia. The store carries refurbished Nintendo Entertainment Systems and Game Boys, less popular consoles such as the Panasonic 3DO and Sega CD, and lightly used newer platforms like the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The Gameshop also sells titles for all of these systems, as well as trading cards, action figures, VHS tapes, DVDs and vinyl records. Behind the glass countertop case, displayed for all to see, is a sealed LaserDisc copy of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. At 27 years old, store manager Anthony Guarino says he can’t really remember ever watching a LaserDisc as a kid. However, as a gamer and collector, he is interested in all forms of vintage technology. Not long ago, he also picked up his own LaserDisc player. Guarino got it at the Goodwill; he says the clerk threw it in for free when he bought a VHS player. He now has more than 20

FARM ’ T E K E R S MA R LaserDiscs of his own. And while Return of the Jedi is definitely the most valuable LaserDisc in the store, according to Guarino, it is not the most interesting. “I collect ‘90s Vietnamese karaoke,” he says, noting that a lot of this genre was released on LaserDisc. “It’s kinda hot.” He disappears for a moment before returning with a hand full of 12-inch-by-12-inch cardboard sleeves. One of them, simply titled Karaoke, features a scantily clad woman in wraparound shades who has been cut out and placed in front snow-capped mountains. There are two other collections of Vietnamese karaoke— along with the 1996 Uma Thurmanstarring romantic comedy The Truth About Cats & Dogs and a National Geographic Video installment about panda bears. Part of the appeal of vinyl records—if you believe the insistent audiophiles who champion LPs—is that they allegedly sound better than CDs and MP3s. No one is arguing that LaserDiscs are better than streaming video. “The quality is definitely better

than VHS, but noticeably grainer than a DVD,” Guarino says. However, the old and obsolete format may appeal to some specifically because it is old and obsolete. As Guarino notes, some of the more obscure titles here—namely the Vietnamese karaoke selections— might not be available anywhere else. Unique titles like Karaoke become even more precious when one considers that all LaserDiscs are literally disintegrating. “There’s a phenomenon called ‘disc rot.’ This happens with CDs, DVDs and LaserDiscs,” Guarino explains. “Moisture, humidity and heat will mess up the layers of the disc. It’s a huge issue in Japan because of the humidity on that island.” All collectors of laser-read media discs must reckon with disc rot, he says. Ironically, depending on the conditions, a neglected collection of LaserDiscs may translate to a pristine collection. The ideal place to store discs like these are in cool, dark places—like a basement, which is exactly where many LaserDiscs and their players have been hibernating for decades. When it comes to LaserDisc players, Guarino says it is common to see them in great shape. Unlike the older Xbox and Playstation consoles in his shop— some of which were played every day, for hours on end, for years—many LaserDisc players were used only briefly before they were tucked away and forgotten. “It seems like they never really got consistent play,” Guarino says. “It was sort of an oddity even back then.” Pete Johnson, a former vice president with Warner Bros. Records, backs up Guarino’s assertion. He remembers buying into the trend before giving up on LaserDiscs. “As a crazed technophile, I had a LaserDisc player,” he says. “The discs were large and expensive and, if I remember correctly, limited to one hour playing time per disc side. Videophiles liked them, but they were generally a pain in the ass. I’m not a videophile, not even a movie buff. I had one purely because I lust after technology and I’m happy watching Jaws over and over again.”

In North America, LaserDisc production lasted until 2000. Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow and Martin Scorsese’s Bringing Out the Dead were two of the last major titles released on the format. Once DVDs hit the market in the mid-’90s, the large, heavy, expensive and often inconvenient LaserDisc format went the way of the Betamax, the eighttrack tape and the MiniDisc. Gone, but not forgotten, LaserDisc has become an obsession for people like me who love the throwback look and feel of them, as well as the thrill of finding a true treasure of a film in a bin somewhere. As a result, I’ve driven to every distant corner of the Bay Area and beyond to relieve them from Craigslist sellers. I’ve scrolled countless eBay listings, scoured miscellaneous racks at every vintage store I come across and chatted on internet forums like LaserDisc Database to find out the specifics of certain releases. My beloved collection of 500 or

so LaserDisc movie, television and educational releases is quite modest in comparison to others I’ve talked with. One serious dealer I contacted needed to use his entire garage to store approximately 10,000 discs he owns. Recently, I’ve taken the obsession to a new height by starting a podcast, Laser Discourse, which is dedicated to revisiting the best and worst of LaserDiscs. So far, we’ve talked about classics like Jaws and The Terminator, as well as obscure movies like the Billy Blanks and Roddy Piper-starring 1993 head scratcher Back in Action. Sadly, the truth is that LaserDiscs will never have a vinyl-esque resurgence, and the format is suffering; disc rot is a very real issue for many collectors. For now, all I can do is store my beloved collection as safely as possible and share my love of LaserDiscs while they are still around.

EGGCELLENT Famous Lao Papaya’s khaw mee makes for a perfect afternoon snack.

Truckin’ Formerly a food truck, Famous Lao Papaya now has a brick-and-mortar location BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

AMOUS LAO PAPAYA is easy enough to find. Just show up to Paloma Plaza and follow the unmistakable scent of durian. After you pick up one of those spiny oblong globes of fruit at the Queen Khô Bò market, just take a few paces forward and to the right onto the adjacent sidewalk running perpendicular to the one you’re walking on.

Formerly a food truck, Famous is the first Lao restaurant in San Jose (at least according to their website and an online search that only came up with a Thai-Lao restaurant in Fremont). It stands smack-dab in the middle of several other fast casual restaurants (meaning plastic cutlery and paper containers) in the mall. The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is how efficient their air conditioner is, and how the walls behind the counter, covered in glossy white

subway tiles, add a bright, breezy feeling to the space. Many of the items that the owners served, and mastered, on their roving mobile menu now appear on the small but satisfying one that’s clearly displayed behind the register, complete with photos and descriptions. The first carryover dish from their previous incarnation to try is nam khao ($11.95). If you’ve ever bit into a mouthful of tahdig, or crispy Persian rice, that’s been smothered in a khoresh (stew), then you’ll recognize that this Lao version is distantly related to it. Unlike the way tahdig is served, the Lao rice is broken apart into delectable, bite-sized clusters. Famous Lao serves it with cured or fermented pieces of pork, which are light pink in color. Their chewiness is meant to complement the crunchy bits of rice. (Vegetarians should definitely ask the helpful guy taking orders if the dish can be

served meatless). If you read the fine print, nam khao is traditionally eaten as a lettuce wrap. It’s even more delicious once you squeeze a wedge of lime over it and mix in the fresh cilantro and basil leaves. I’m familiar with papaya salads from a variety of Cambodian, Vietnamese and Thai restaurants, but I was unprepared for the amount of fish sauce on the Lao style papaya salad ($9.95). The pungent dressing is Famous Lao’s own. For my taste, the dressing rendered the shredded fruit sodden and limp, overwhelming the crispness I’ve grown used to in similar salads that are more lightly dressed. If you want to try it before committing to the dish as an entrée, it’s also served as a side with the fried chicken wings ($12.95). And these are no ordinary wings: They were three of the largest I’ve ever been served; I wasn’t sure if they might have been from a giant, fattened chicken or a smaller goose. Not only were they golden brown and tender, but you also get to choose between steamed or sticky rice—but there’s no sign of a dipping sauce. Because it was a hot afternoon, I didn’t try their soups, which include kao piek sen or chicken noodle ($11.95) and kao poon or curry noodle ($11.95). Instead, I opted for khaw mee, a stir fry noodle ($11.95). The Famous Lao Papaya food truck dropped their version of pad thai from this new menu. Their khaw mee, served with an army of fresh, translucent bean sprouts, is just as tasty, except that they offer no protein choices. The homemade rice noodles are coated in a sweet soy sauce and lovingly draped with a sliced omelet that’s cut into pretty yellow ribbons. Khaw mee was a perfect afternoon snack, but when pad thai is served with chicken, shrimp or tofu, it turns into a substantial meal. You can add Lao sausage to any dish for $3.50, but in the future it would be great to see other options. Maybe even a giant chicken or two.

‘SIMMERING’ Chow Mane Out Now Ask Charles Yan where he comes from and he’ll tell you it all goes back to China’s Cultural Revolution. Yan—better known by his stage name, Chow Mane—grew up the son of political refugees in Salinas and the South Bay. He dropped his excellent debut EP, Mooncakes, in 2017. This month he followed that up with his first full-length, Simmering. Sometimes sweet and sometimes sour, but always spicy, the album continues to build on Yan’s signature sound, which blends the hard-scrabble lessons he picked up from his immigrant parents with his first-generation American experiences. Oh… and it knocks. (MS)

GRUPO JEJEJE Fri, $7+ Discos Rolas The imagery accompanying the new collaboration between San Jose’s own Turbo Sonidero and Persian-British selector Arrabalero recalls the Afro-Futuristic album art of George Clinton. Call it AztlánFuturism. Grupo Jejeje fuses electronic textures with the global diaspora of Cumbia music—which originated in Columbia but has gone on to influence some of the world’s biggest pop producers and underground icons. The project has already garnered the attention of some serious tastemakers, including the DJ and curator Gilles Peterson, who premiered "Citlali" on his BBC6 radio show. Fledgling label Discos Rolas will release the album digitally and on vinyl May 3. (MS)

UNSUPERVISED Children need space to learn lessons on their own, argues Palo Alto journalism teacher Esther Wojcicki.

Mother, May I Esther Wojcicki raised three successful daughters—by letting them run wild BY WALLACE BAINE

F YOU WANT to prosecute the case that Esther Wojcicki is a terrible parent, there is ample evidence.

When her daughter Anne was 5 years old, she put the child on a commercial flight, unaccompanied, with a little necklace around the girl’s neck on which was her name and birthday, “like a luggage tag,” Wojcicki laughs. Her other two daughters were allowed, at ages 6 and 7, to bicycle more than a mile to Patterson’s, a now-defunct dime store in Palo Alto, crossing busy El Camino in the process, and linger there (or conceivably anywhere else) for hours with no GPS tracker, cellphone or

even beeper (none of which, to be fair, were invented yet). And, in case there’s a statute of limitations on such outrages, more recently, Wojcicki let her two 8-yearold granddaughters shop at Target, by themselves, for what could have been up to half an hour, again unsupervised. Yet, in this crazy, upside-down world we all live in, this woman is the author of a new book titled How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results. Go figure. Wojcicki is the well-known teacher of the celebrated journalism program at Palo Alto High School, where she is known as simply “Woj.” She is also the mother of a trio of impressive and accomplished women: Susan,

a pioneering Google exec who is now the CEO of YouTube; Janet, an anthropologist and epidemiologist at UC San Francisco; and Anne, co-founder of the genetics company 23andMe. Working together, the Wojcicki daughters wrote the foreword to the new book, which is primarily a manifesto for what the author sees as sane parenting in an anxious world. It underscores that a parent’s most important job — at least as it concerns the world outside the family—is often forgotten in the age of helicopter parenting: to create confident, independent, capable people. And, to do that, you sometimes need to ground the helicopter. In one way, How to Raise Successful People is an answer to Amy Chua’s bestselling Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which became a media sensation in 2011 when it was first published. Chua’s book illustrated a stereotype of a style of demanding, authoritarian parenting which is the flip side of Wojcicki’s approach. Chua and Wojcicki have even debated parenting philosophies in public forums. Wojcicki’s book is being published around the world and, she says, in

Germany, her book will be sold as Panda Mom, a parallel with Chua that she admits she’s not thrilled about. “They know what sells best in their country,” she shrugs. Still, she admits, she would love for her book to push Chua’s aside on the parenting bookshelf. “I’m hoping to beat her, to be honest. I want to change the way we parent, to challenge all these tiger moms. You don’t want to be a total dictator, but you don’t want to be a free-range parent, either. My theory is that you want to be somewhere between the two.” Wojcicki employs a vivid mnemonic to illustrate her ideas: TRICK, an acronym for Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration and Kindness. It’s an approach that often requires allowing children to negotiate the world on their own, the resulting empowerment and self-confidence outweighing the relatively small safety risks. As Wojcicki, 78, prepares for her North American and European book tour, her subject seems more pertinent than ever, considering the recent college-admissions scandal that exposed the corrupting influence of “snow-plow parenting.” “It couldn’t have happened at a better time for me,” Wojcicki says in her office at Palo Alto High, just across El Camino from the campus of Stanford, which was one of many schools ensnared in the scandal. Wojcicki points to the scandal as an illustration of a broader and deeper crisis in parenting. She lives with her husband Stan, a physics professor emeritus, in faculty housing at Stanford. “I never see children on the Stanford campus,” she says. “It’s such a rare sighting. It’s like seeing a kangaroo.” So, where are all the kids? “They’re all programmed,” she says. “They go to camps. They have play dates. They’re being supervised all the time, which means they feel they can’t do anything without being helped or supervised. They are more fearful. That’s the problem.” How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results Out Now

Reboot Zone

IT LOOKED GREAT on paper: hiring Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us) to be the exec producer and narrator of a revived Twilight Zone. So far, the scripts have been a disappointment, despite some effective choices in lighting, sound design and camera work. “The Comedian” had Samir (Kumail Nanjiani) as a comic whose head is too full of political anger to come up with a routine. That’s when the famous J.C. Wheeler (SNL’s Tracy Morgan, surrounded with satanic smoke from a vape pen) comes out of the shadows and gives him a few notes. The gift Wheeler gives is the ability to shape the world through jokes. There’s almost an idea here—a comic with the literal ability to “cancel”— but it’s caught up instead in the old story about how success is a bitch. In “A. Traveller,” a dapper mysterious stranger in a 1940s suit (Steven Yeun) shows up like Santa on Christmas Eve in an Alaskan town, 1,400 miles from the North Pole. Greg Kinnear is not bad as a culpable-looking police chief who may have some clues. Some atmosphere and a relatively expensive payoff, but there wasn’t a new angle on this old story about division and conquering. The biggest disappointment is an episode giving itself 10,000 feet more importance than its William Shatner-starring inspiration. In “Terror at 30,000 Feet,” the interestingly surly The Twilight Zone Adam Beach is a journalist who hears a future podcast describing how the plane he’s aboard is doomed to crash. CBS All Access He seeks the usual suspects aboard: Muslims? Russian cbs.com gangsters? While the paranoid state of America in 2019 is a good starting point for a tale of terror, director Greg Yaitanes can’t get us into the mood of fear. Maybe the point is that the jet is flying smoothly and that the trauma is all in the passenger’s mind—like Trump’s crises, it’s all in a man’s head. But unless you worship Lost as a marvel of narrative, the punchline is abject. The rewrite of “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (1963) maybe a confession that the original teleplay was too frightening to be improved upon. Compare it to the retelling in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road) careens around the confines of a teetering plane in a bad thunderstorm. A white-knuckler (John Lithgow) is already babbling in terror when he sees something dreadful out on the wing of the plane. Lithgow’s tremendous acting, a wrenching depiction of shame and fear, is augmented a little by the editor’s craft: a half-second shot of artificially distended eyeballs when the passenger goes face to face with what’s out there. Sedate it wasn’t. If there’s anything particularly off putting about this Peele reboot, besides the hour-long running times, it may be that they’ve gotten enamored with the cultural importance of what they’re doing. Rather than Serling’s greatest legacy, that preachiness was where he most often went banal and flatulent.—Richard von Busack

Day films playing at the Stanford Theatre this month.

Beautiful Day The Stanford Theatre celebrates actress Doris Day with career retrospective BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

ORIS DAY IS far more interesting than many of her movies would suggest. She became a byword for sweetness and purity—thus Groucho Marx’s famous putdown, “I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin.” If you can’t slutshame ’em, shame ’em for being wholesome.

In his autobiography Day’s sometimescostar James Cagney noted, “After Love Me or Leave Me, Doris went into those Pillow Talk things, and I for one have always considered that a hell of a waste.”

Day made big money in froth: Tea for Two (May 1-2) is No No Nanette under a different cover; Move Over, Darling (with James Garner, May 17-19) is a remake of My Favorite Wife, and My Dream is Yours (May 8-9) is highly sticky, despite a guest-starring Bugs Bunny. But Day has a range that defies the predictability of her early 1960s hit-making days, as seen in the Stanford Theatre’s well-programmed retrospective. More than a few, such as The Pajama Game, are unavailable for streaming. The 1951 noir, Storm Warning (May 3-5), takes on the Ku Klux Klan with kid gloves. The third-billed Day is Lucy, an innocent in some neon-lit Pottersville (it was filmed in Corona, Calif.); her

sister, Marsha (Ginger Rogers), comes for a visit, and witnesses a shooting by a lynch mob. Lucy’s husband, a lout named Hank (Steve Cochran, pretty damned bad) was one of the killers; to silence Marsha, he goes all Stanley Kowalski on this newly arrived sister-inlaw. Ronald Reagan, in a most imposing fedora, is a county investigator who can never quite nail the culprits. The leader of the gang tries to apologize—“It was an accident! We’re all sorry about it!”— which certainly sounds like the Klan we all know and love. Yet Day’s Lucy shows a lot of spine dealing with her creep of a husband. One likes the idea of Ginger Rogers playing Day’s older sister, just as one could imagine Day being Meg Ryan’s older sister. It’s double-billed with Love Me or Leave Me (1955), which could be charted as the beginning of a Day speciality: playing women mistaken for pushovers. Day is the 1920s singer Ruth Etting, whose career was facilitated by a shady Chicagoan named “Gimp” Snyder. As played by James Cagney, Snyder is as a garrulous dynamo who wheedles and neggs

GOOD FIGHT The KKK takes Doris Day away in ‘Storm Warning,’ one of many

Ruth into marriage. She wearily confronts him on the morning after, as Snyder tells her of all the plans he has for her: “You don’t have to sell me, I’m sold.” Cagney ensures you won’t take your eyes off of him in every scene—a proto-Scorsese gangster who insists on the classiness of his joints, but is still coarse enough to rub his aching foot in public. In his autobiography, Cagney celebrated Day’s “unshrewd” qualities—“wide open as a barn door.” he wrote. The light-footed, swannecked actress can bring on the force like Judy Garland. “You gotta give her credit, the girl can sing,”says Snyder of Ruth. And in Love Me or Leave Me, Day has the benefit of a first-rate songbook, which includes “Mean to Me” and “You Made Me Love You.” The choreography—emphasizing mid-century brashness and blare—is proto-Bob Fosse, getting Day ready for her later Fosse-choreographed smash The Pajama Game (double billed with Calamity Jane, May 10-12). The 1953 Calamity Jane is something more than just a movie meant to be forever confused with Annie Get Your Gun. Day is in the title role in the well-worn buckskins. One wishes some dead-eyed gunslinger had shot the rhyming dictionary out of lyricist Paul Francis Webster’s hand. However, it deserves a rep for its ahead-of-its-time approach to cross-dressing; there’s a drag act at a Deadwood cabaret, Howard Keel’s beardless Wild Bill Hickcock has to masquerade as a Sioux woman after losing a bet, and the trousered Calamity gets a big wink from a passing woman on the streets of Chicago. Later comes the friendship between Calamity and a singer (Allyn McLerie) she escorts back to Deadwood; they live together in a cabin during the number, “A Woman’s Touch.” Even the Oscarwinning showstopper Day performs, “Secret Love,” might have been a coded message to gay people lost in 1950s America.

LOVING IT Tony Bennet brings decades-spanning catalog of hits to the City National Civic this Friday.

HEART & SOUL Tony Bennett continues to shape a legacy more than 90 years in the making BY BILL KOPP

N THE HISTORY of popular music, Tony Bennett stands tall. His professional singing career can be said to have started at age 13 when he began working as a singing waiter in Queens, but it was only after serving in WWII that he landed a recording contract. Bennett has cut more than 70 albums, traversing the worlds of pop, jazz and showtunes. Today, at age 92, he still tours and records, and his championing of younger artists has helped bring his music to newer generations of fans.

Working with fresher faces has always served to elevate both Bennett and his greener collaborators. Several decades after hits like “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” had earned him a place in the pantheon of popular vocalists, he started dueting with much younger singers. His collaborative spirit had already been on rich display through a series of projects with jazz pianist Bill Evans; the two recorded many sessions together, all of which would eventually be compiled and reissued in 2009. Bennett holds dear some advice Evans gave him shortly before the pianist’ 1980 death. “Truth and beauty: that’s what you need

to follow,” Evans told the singer. “Nothing else.” “Bill was such a profound artist,” Bennett says in a recent email interview. “His words have fueled me ever since, and I think he was absolutely right. You need to be as honest as you possibly can. But even in the midst of that honesty—which may be dark—you have to find the light, the beauty that is always present in life.” In Bennett’s music, that beauty takes the form of romantic songs. Whether they’re about heartbreak, loss or the joys of love, Bennett sings in a distinctive yet unaffected style. And while most singers would have long since retired, the nonagenarian vocalist is still going strong: Bennett’s current tour finds him crisscrossing the U.S. for dates in California and the Midwest before heading to England for a pair of performances at the Royal Albert Hall. Bennett credits a series of breaks that came after his discharge from the Army as key in helping him maintain his singing voice. “I was very fortunate to be able to study at

the American Theatre Wing,” he says. “I took all kinds of classes: acting, movement and vocal instruction.” He specifically cites his training in the Bel Canto singing method, one used by many opera singers. “It gave me the foundation I needed right through the years to be able to keep my voice in shape,” he says. “There is a saying that I was told once,” Bennett continues. “If you skip your exercises for a day, you will know it. If you skip your exercises for two days, the band will know it. And if you skip your exercises for three days, the audience will know it.” Though Bennett’s type of music fell out of favor during the rock era, by the 1990s his career was once again in full flower. Once the new century began, he cut an acclaimed album with k.d. lang, following it up with Duets: An American Classic. On that platinum-selling release he was joined by a variety of singers from across the pop music landscape, including the Dixie Chicks, Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello and Stevie Wonder. 2011’s Duets II repeated the formula with similar success. Viva Duets explored a Latin American style. In 2014 Bennett released one of his most successful albums, Cheek to Cheek, with Lady Gaga. Bennett is effusive in his praise of the singer-actor-songwriter. “When she gets on stage, she understands that the audience wants to be entertained,” he says. “That’s why she has so many fans who absolutely adore her. I am one of them.” More recently, Bennett released yet another collaborative album, this one with Diana Krall. The two first sang together on the Grammy-winning Duets: An American Classic; the new album, 2018’s Love is Here to Stay digs into the Great American Songbook with superb results. A consummate entertainer, Tony Bennett lives to perform. He says that his goal is to make sure audiences leave his shows saying, “I enjoyed myself tonight.” “That’s how I would like to be remembered,” he says, “as an entertainer who made people feel good.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies," wrote Henry David Thoreau. "How slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!" Your first assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to devote yourself to quenching the hunger and thirst of your soul with the same relentless passion that you normally spend on giving your body the food and drink it craves. This could be challenging. You may be less knowledgeable about what your soul thrives on than what your body loves. So your second assignment is to do extensive research to determine what your soul needs to thrive.

for at least 30 years. But the marriage medal is of higher rank, and is more prestigious. In that spirit, I'd love for you to get a shiny badge or prize to acknowledge your devoted commitment to a sacred task—whether that commitment is to an intimate alliance, a noble quest or a promise to yourself. It's time to reward yourself for how hard you've worked and how much you've given.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath

wrote, "I admit I desire, / Occasionally, some backtalk / From the mute sky." You'll be wise to borrow the spirit of that mischievous declaration. Now is a good time to solicit input from the sky, as well as from your allies and friends and favorite animals, and from every other source that might provide you with interesting feedback. I invite you to regard the whole world as your mirror, your counselor, your informant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I invite you to explore the frontiers of what's possible for you to experience and accomplish. One exercise that might help: visualize specific future adventures that excite you. Examples? Picture yourself parasailing over the Mediterranean Sea near Barcelona, or working to help endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica, or giving a speech to a crowded auditorium on a subject you will someday be an expert in. The more specific your fantasies, the better. Your homework is to generate at least five of these visions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In January 1493,

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "We must choose between the pain of having to transcend oppressive circumstances, or the pain of perpetual unfulfillment within those oppressive circumstances," writes mental health strategist Paul John Moscatello. We must opt for "the pain of growth or the pain of decay," he continues. We must either "embrace the tribulations of realizing our potential, or consent to the slow suicide in complacency." That's a bit melodramatic, in my opinion. Most of us do both; we may be successful for a while in transcending oppressive circumstances, but then temporarily lapse back into the pain of unfulfillment. However, there are times when it makes sense to think melodramatically. And I believe now is one of those times for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will set in motion plans to transcend at least 30 percent of your oppressive circumstances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "I want what we

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians can

benefit from always having a fertility symbol somewhere in your environment: an icon or image that reminds you to continually refresh your relationship with your own abundant creativity; an inspiring talisman or toy that keeps you alert to the key role your fecund imagination can and should play in nourishing your quest to live a meaningful life; a provocative work of art that spurs you to always ask for more help and guidance from the primal source code that drives you to reinvent yourself. So if you don't have such a fertility symbol, I invite you to get one. If you do, enhance it with a new accessory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my horoscopes, I often speak to you about your personal struggle for liberation and your efforts to express your soul's code with ever more ingenuity and completeness. It's less common that I address your sacred obligation to give back to life for all that life has given to you. I only infrequently discuss how you might engage in activities to help your community or work for the benefit of those less fortunate than you. But now is one of those times when I feel moved to speak of these matters. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it's crucial to perform specific work in behalf of a greater good. Why crucial? Because your personal well-being in the immediate future depends in part on your efforts to intensify your practical compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "We are whiplashed

between an arrogant overestimation of ourselves and a servile underestimation of ourselves," writes educator Parker Palmer. That's the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that you are in prime position to escape from the whiplash. Cosmic forces are conspiring with your eternal soul to coalesce a well-balanced vision of your true value that's free of both vain misapprehensions and self-deprecating delusions. Congrats! You're empowered to understand yourself with a tender objectivity that could at least partially heal lingering wounds. See yourself truly!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The country of Poland awards medals to couples who have stayed married for 50 years. It also gives out medals to members of the armed forces who have served

the notorious pirate and kidnapper Christopher Columbus was sailing his ship near the land we now call the Dominican Republic. He spotted three creatures he assumed were mermaids. Later he wrote in his log that they were "not half as beautiful as they are painted” by artists. We know now that the "mermaids" were actually manatees, aquatic mammals with flippers and paddle-shaped tails. They are in fact quite beautiful in their own way, and would only be judged as homely by a person comparing them to mythical enchantresses. I trust you won't make a similar mistake, Sagittarius. Evaluate everything and everyone on their own merits, without comparing them to something they're not.

all want," writes novelist Jonathan Lethem. "To move certain parts of the interior of myself into the exterior world, to see if they can be embraced." Even if you haven't passionately wanted that lately, Capricorn, I'm guessing you will soon. That's a good thing, because life will be conspiring with you to accomplish it. Your ability to express yourself in ways that are meaningful to you and interesting to other people will be at a peak.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Using algorithms

to analyze 300 million facts, a British scientist concluded that April 11, 1954 was the most boring day in history. A Turkish man who would later become a noteworthy engineer was born that day, and Belgium staged a national election. But that's all. With this non-eventful day as your inspiration, I encourage you to have fun reminiscing about the most boring times in your own past. I think you need a prolonged respite from the stimulating frenzy of your daily rhythm. It's time to rest and relax in the sweet luxury of nothingness and emptiness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “The Blue Room” is a famous Picasso painting from 1901. Saturated with blue hues, it depicts a naked woman taking a bath. More than a century after its creation, scientists used X-rays to discover that there was an earlier painting beneath “The Blue Room” and obscured by it. It shows a man leaning his head against his right hand. Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield says that there are some people who are "like a painting hidden beneath another painting." More of you Pisceans fit that description than any other sign of the zodiac. You may even be like a painting beneath a painting beneath a painting—to a depth of five or more paintings. Is that a problem? Not necessarily. But it is important to be fully aware of the existence of all the layers. Now is a good time to have a check-in.
