Breaking the Silence

The Uphill Battle against Workplace Sexual Harassment !"#$%&'(()$*+(,)-%.) /!(0**)%,1)0"+(2-)34 ::BY ELIZABETH ELVING

n December 2017, women’s professional group TEMPO Milwaukee sent out a survey asking its members about their experiences with sexual harassment in the workplace. Of the roughly 100 who responded, 68% said they had faced harassment at some point in their careers. These results, released in early January, followed a year of reckoning on sexual harassment and assault.

Since The New York Times’ exposé of Harvey Weinstein, the public has watched in triumph and horror as one powerful man after another is brought to account. #MeToo gave a name to a movement, and the Time’s Up campaign promised a shift from acknowledgement to action. The Milwaukee survey, TEMPO president and CEO Jennifer Dirks explains, aimed to give a “local voice” to what had suddenly, finally, become a national conversation. “It should send a message to the Milwaukee community that this isn’t just a Hollywood issue,” Dirks says. “We have to realize that this has been going on for years and has been pushed under the rug.”

TEMPO members are Milwaukee-area businesswomen in high-level leadership positions. But Dirks points out that no community is immune to sexual harassment. It is endemic across industries and tied to deeper inequities that have enabled perpetrators and silenced victims. Now, longtime advocates are hoping the spotlight will help spur lasting change.

4 | FEBRUARY 1, 2018

Workplace sexual harassment generally refers to persistent, unwelcome comments or conduct that creates a hostile work environment or causes negative employment outcomes. As a form of sex discrimination, it violates federal law—as well as the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act. Still, pursuing legal action can be a harrowing, uphill battle. Plaintiffs in sexual harassment cases often must relive painful experiences and steel themselves against the age-old “she wanted it” defense.

“They’re very difficult cases to prove, unfortunately, because you can imagine the sort of defenses that are trotted out. ‘It’s not unwelcome,’ ‘She did something similar,’ ‘She sent me lascivious texts,’ that kind of thing,” says Colin Good, an attorney with Wisconsin law firm Hawks Quindel. He notes that many victims also face a “time pressure element” for reporting due to Wisconsin’s 300-day statute of limitations for discrimination complaints.

In a culture that’s often more concerned with preserving men’s reputations than women’s rights, many are reluctant to enter the legal fray. “Victims are left paralyzed with decisions on what to do, so they will choose not to do anything because they fear their names are going to be dragged through the mud,” Good says.

“It’s crushing, and it needs to stop.” Dirks says it’s still common for women, particularly those in entry level positions, to feel “powerless” or fear a backlash if they speak up. “There’s been a nervousness, a lack of confidence to report,” she says. “And when women do report, nothing has been done about it.”

To bolster claims, Good advises keeping contemporaneous notes of interactions and sending your human resources department complaints in writing and blind copying an outside email so there’s a record of the exchange. While proving these cases is a challenge, he hopes the recent high-profile disclosures will ease the burden on less privileged women who face harassment every day. “Hopefully, with the current social climate, women’s voices are being believed with a greater frequency,” Good says. “That has a long way to go, but it’s a good start.”

Education and Training As the terrible scope of the problem comes to light, many employers are rethinking their approach to sexual harassment training. Advocates say effective training can reinforce no-tolerance policies and resolve confusion about when conduct crosses a line. Unfortunately, there’s little evidence that training is effective.

“I remember when I was in the corporate world, my sexual harassment training was day one, sitting behind a computer and watching a video from the 1970s that was very antiquated. It was kind of laughable, looking back,” Dirks says. “I was asked a couple of questions and that was the extent of it.”

In 1998, two U.S. Supreme Court cases established that companies could avoid liability in sexual harassment cases if they could show that their employees had been trained on their anti-harassment policy. “Because of that legal-compliance motivation, training often has a legal-compliance framework,” says Shannon Rawski, an assistant professor at UW-Oshkosh who

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

has researched employee responses to sexual harassment training. Within that framework, training is often bogged down by rigid definitions and scenarios that don’t reflect real work environments.

Traditional training focuses on victims and harassers, implicitly characterizing employees as one or the other. Rawski says this can cause a sense of “identity threat,” where trainees feel they are being forced into an undesirable role.

“They develop backlash attitudes against the training itself,” Rawski says. “They’ll deem the training session as illegitimate, as something that doesn’t need to be listened to.”

Employees who experienced a sense of threat during training are more likely to avoid the colleagues they think are likely to become victims, Rawski’s research suggests. This finding has worrisome implications. “If you stereotype women as potential victims, you can see how that might lead to socially ostracizing women in the workplace,” Rawski says.

As an alternative, some experts have suggested reframing the training to focus on a different role: the bystander. Bystander training, Rawski says, can include all the same information, but from the perspective of a third party who intervenes on behalf of a colleague. “Employees are going to be much more willing to identify with a positive role in that situation,” she says.

The Wisconsin legislature has been working to update its own sexual harassment policies in recent months, and on Tuesday, Jan. 16, the Assembly unanimously approved a resolution making sexual harassment training mandatory for representatives. In Milwaukee, Alderman Tony Zielinski recently introduced a resolution to tell the director of the Department of Employee Relations to create a policy for training city employees on sexual harassment.

“It’s important for Milwaukee to be aggressive in combating this problem in our community,” Zielinski says, adding that coverage of local policy changes and Hollywood downfalls make it easier for people to speak out. “That’s one benefit,” he says. “The second benefit is, if you’re a would-be sexual harasser, you may think twice about trying to engage in this type of activity because you know that society is clamping down.”

Income Inequality Sexual harassment infects all professions, including (as the past year has shown) the upper echelons of celebrity. But in low-wage, femaledominated job sectors, it is epidemic. Women in low-paying jobs are more vulnerable to mistreatment and face more obstacles to justice than their higher-paid counterparts.

Data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has shown that retail, accommodation and food service jobs are the most common sources of harassment complaints, and studies of specific industries like hospitality have shown alarming rates of

abuse. “Gender-based violence is an income inequality issue,” says Chicago-based attorney Sheerine Alemzadeh. “That’s how you have to think about it when you address the problem on a systemic level.”

A 2017 EEOC study found that 75% of women who reported harassment faced retaliation after coming forward. “If you’re living hand-tomouth and don’t have any savings, losing your job or getting punished financially for making this report is something you simply can’t afford to do,” says Alemzadeh. “It creates a really strong culture of silence in the most-affected communities.”

Low-wage employees often work irregular hours without benefits, paid sick time or medical leave, and many rely on their employer’s discretion for basic accommodations. This type of power dynamic can make it harder to oppose mistreatment. And certain lines of work create additional risks. Restaurant servers, for example, may have to tolerate customers’ bad behavior because they depend on tips to make a living wage. According to The Restaurant Opportunities Center, 90% of female restaurant workers have dealt with harassment at work.

“VICTIMS ARE LEFT PARALYZED WITH DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO, SO THEY WILL CHOOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY FEAR THEIR NAMES ARE GOING TO BE DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD,” COLIN GOOD SAYS. “IT’S CRUSHING, AND IT NEEDS TO STOP.” Women make up two-thirds of the low-wage labor force in the U.S. Alemzadeh says that support for harassment victims in this demographic often begins close to home by organizing inside the industries that are most impacted. “I think change is going to need to come from the grassroots,” she says. “It’s going to come from leaders inside those communities making a decision to invest in this issue.”

Alemzadeh is a co-founder and co-director of Healing to Action, an initiative supporting worker-led efforts against gender-based violence.

Since forming in 2016, Healing to Action has offered education and leadership development across industries and partnered with organizations in the labor movement to improve their responses to the issue. Among other projects, Healing to Action has participated in !"#$%&'((& )"#*%&'#, a Chicago-based campaign to protect hospitality workers, the One Fair Wage campaign and the passage of the Illinois Domestic Workers Bill of Rights.

From Anger to Action The national organization 9to5 has supported and advocated for survivors of sexual harassment for years as part of their mission to promote women’s rights and equality in the workplace. Astar Herndon, director of 9to5’s Wisconsin chapter, says the organization looks at the #MeToo movement comprehensively—particularly as it affects the women in low-income sectors who often face the most severe violations.

“What’s going to create an environment for those women to be able to step forward is comprehensive policy and increased worker protections,” says Herndon. “Not just sexual harassment protections, but economic protections as well. Strengthening equal pay provisions, having paid leave and paid sick time.” Herndon says these protections would help level the playing field and in turn give women “a more powerful voice in the workplace.”

Despite the connection between economic instability and sexual harassment, Herndon says the Wisconsin legislature has continued to threaten and undermine policies that support workers—like the Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Act and living wage provisions. “We have all this momentum and energy about what women workers need, but then simultaneously repeals of bills that actually help women workers,” she says.

In the age of “hashtag activism,” popular movements often struggle to advance past the collective anger phase. Herndon says nonprofit organizations have a responsibility to “take this anger and inform our community about next steps.” At the same time, there’s a need for businesses to protect their workers—for the state to support them in doing so—and for individuals to become more civically engaged by using their voices and votes to hold elected leaders accountable and advocate for policies that prevent harassment by bringing more equity into the workplace.

“We can’t be frozen in fear, shock or anger.

We have to take that and move it into action,” Herndon says. “There is going to be a real reckoning, I hope, soon, where workers, people, women realize and use their power in a collective way.”

obody wants to jinx it, but optimism is quietly growing that Wisconsin may be on the leading edge of a cleansing wave that could become a tsunami by next November—washing away Gov. Scott Walker and right-wing control of the Wisconsin Legislature as well as unchecked Republican power nationally.

The most recent positive indicator (which drew national attention) was a stunning Democratic upset in a special State Senate election in the rural 10th District in Northern Wisconsin.

Democrat Patty Schachtner won by nine points over Republican State Rep. Adam Jarchow, doing so deep in Donald Trump country in five counties along the Minnesota border between Eau Claire and Superior. Trump won the district by 17 points only one year ago.

It was November 2016 when incumbent Republican State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf also won big in the district with 63% of the vote; Harsdorf opened up the seat a year later by joining Walker’s administration as Wisconsin Secretary of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

Schachtner’s winning margin may have been surprising, but as a candidate, she looked a lot like other Democratic candidates around the country who have been pulling off victories in Republican districts. Schachtner’s election was the 34th pick-up for Democrats in elections across the country in the current election cycle— compared to only four seats Republicans have flipped from blue to red.

Deep Community Roots Schachtner, like many other successful Democrats, was a woman with a background in health care and deep roots in her community. She was chief medical examiner for St. Croix County and a former EMT. In Virginia’s recent Democratic election sweep, voters elected a doctor as their governor and 15 Democrats to legislative seats in previously Republican-held districts. The majority of new legislators were women who campaigned on protecting and expanding health care.

Democrats can thank Republicans’ failed attempts at destroying health care for making that the top concern of voters in election exit polls.

Schachtner’s victory came despite the Republican candidate outspending her by more than $100,000 as outside contributions poured into the district from the billionaire Koch brothers and other wealthy Republican funders. A strong Democratic candidate and energized voters can

overcome the major advantages Republicans count on to win elections: large donations from right-wing billionaires and corruptly gerrymandered Republican districts.

Two of Wisconsin’s most successful Republican governors expressed alarm over the election.

Walker was one, calling the election “a wake-up call for Republicans,” but, of course, when a candidate suggests his own campaign is in danger, it’s usually just a fundraising ploy meaning “Send me more money!” Former Gov. Tommy Thompson was probably more sincere, warning Republicans: “We’re going to have one hell of a tough fight on our hands, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it because they [Democrats] are much more organized, much more energized and much more passionate” than Republicans are. Will Jordan, a Democratic pollster at Global Strategy Group, tweeted an even stronger warning: “I don’t want to read too much into it, but if the rest of Wisconsin swung as much as tonight’s special election, Scott Walker would lose by 25 points.”

Energizing Voters Whittling down the mob of Democratic candidates eager to run against Walker will take a while, but the more progressive candidates who make the case against Walker, the better. More candidates reaching out for support throughout the state on more issues will energize and engage more voters. Republicans are the ones who want to prevent voters from participating in democracy.

It will be obvious soon enough who emerges from a pack of potential Democratic candidates that includes Superintendent of Schools Tony Evers, State Rep. Dana Wachs (Eau Claire), Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, political activist Mike McCabe, firefighter union leader Mahlon Mitchell, State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout (Alma), former state party chairman Matt Flynn, former State Rep. Kelda Roys (Madison) and Milwaukee businessman Andy Gronik.

In the meantime, Walker himself is suddenly embracing Democratic ideas he and Republicans legislators completely shut out for eight years.

Walker now wants to close the horrific Lincoln Hills juvenile prison complex he created where children have been raped and physically abused throughout his administration. After supporting Republican attempts to destroy the Affordable Care Act (so-called Obamacare), Walker now proposes spending $200 million in state and federal funds to hold down rising insurance premiums in the state expected as a result.

Democrats should certainly support every rare opportunity to pass decent Democratic legislation as long as Walker is governor. But anyone who welcomes humane Democratic policies in the incarceration of children or, say, Walker’s recent reversal of his gutting of education spending—a move that was originally advocated by Tony Evers—should accept no substitutes. Go straight for the election of a Democratic governor and Democratic legislators.

There are candidates and activists organizing right now throughout the state in districts where moribund Republican incumbents have never had to worry about strong, legitimate challengers or energized voters. You can change your state and your nation.

::BY CHRIS TAYLOR

ver the last few weeks, the rhetoric being used while discussing the so-called “Teacher Protection Act” (Assembly Bill 693) would lead you to believe our public schools are filled with violent criminals. Instead, what I’ve seen are public school teachers who are overwhelmed by large class sizes and public schools that aren’t adequately funded. AB 693 is a completely misguided attempt to improve school safety and only criminalizes some of our most vulnerable students while completely neglecting the needs of our public educators and schools.

AB 693 would have disastrous consequences for students by allowing them to be summarily removed from the classroom for minor violations of the code of classroom conduct without adequate due process protections, allowing administrators to be circumvented when deciding whether to initiate suspension proceedings, requiring law enforcement to report when a student is “taken into custody” (not necessarily arrested or charged) and removing school and teacher discretion in reporting students to law enforcement.

According to a report done by the Center for Public Integrity, Wisconsin is already ranked third in the nation for school referrals to law enforcement for students with disabilities, particularly emotional-behavioral disabilities. When I have visited schools in my district, they haven’t said that they need more police involvement or suspensions, but that they need consistent funding for special education staff and social workers. Special education funding in Wisconsin has been flat lined for a decade. Students with disabilities are not criminals; they are students. So, let’s give them the support of more teachers and staff instead of criminalizing them for often uncontrollable behavioral issues.

A School-to-Prison Pipeline

THERE IS A SAD IRONY THAT REPUBLICANS ARE CLAIMING TO BE THE PROTECTORS OF TEACHERS AFTER THEIR FIRST MAJOR LEGISLATIVE ACT AFTER ASSUMING CONTROL OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE WAS TO STRIP TEACHERS OF THEIR RIGHTS.

Furthermore, this bill would be devastating for students of color. It is no secret that these sorts of zero-tolerance policies and increased contact with law enforcement have led to the criminalization of students of color in our state.

Wisconsin suspends black students at higher rates than any other state in the country. The U.S. Department of Education stated that students who are suspended are 10 times more likely to drop out of high school, experience academic failure and face incarceration.

We have failed these students and negligently allowed the school-to-prison pipeline to progress in our state and the education disparities between white and black students to grow. Instead of criminalizing students of color, we should invest in our education system to attract more teachers and improve our public schools to provide consistency for students and put an end to this vicious cycle of racial bias and discrimination in our schools.

There is a sad irony that Republicans are claiming to be the protectors of teachers after their first major legislative act after assuming control of the state legislature was to strip teachers of their rights. Gov. Scott Walker’s attack on our teachers has driven them out of the profession and out of Wisconsin. If the goal was to protect teachers, this bill would restore their rights and repeal Act 10.

If the aim of AB 693 was truly to protect teachers, I would be an eager supporter of it. The truth of the matter is, however, that Republicans are using vulnerable students as scapegoats. The blame should not fall on our students, but on this Republican legislature’s habit of stealing from our public schools and giving to private, unaccountable voucher schools. We must make the investment in our public education system, because our educators and children deserve better.

Chris Taylor represents the 76th District in the Wisconsin State Assembly.

Puerto Rican Pork at El Rincon Criollo ::BY JAMIE LEE RAKE

The mural emblazoning the front of El Rincon Criollo (“The Creole Corner,” 1408 W. Windlake Ave.), depicting a Puerto Rican fortress flying Commonwealth and U.S. flags amid native flora and fauna, is among the most vivid of any in the city. Its interior isn’t nearly so festive, but the plainness is no detriment to the hearty Puerto Rican fare proffered in this takeout-only eatery. As good a place to start on the menu is the pork dinner. A whopping portion of juicy pork shoulder takes up at least a quarter of the Styrofoam box in which orders arrive from behind the counter. Two huge fried chips of mashed plantain rest atop a range of yellow rice liberally dotted with pigeon peas and bits of smoky pork. Dabs of pork also enhance a cup of beans and potatoes. The beverage menu is small, but includes several sodas and juices (sometimes of Caribbean origin).

On Saturday, Feb. 3, the festival directs its focus toward youth. Admission is free for children 12 and under. Milwaukee songwriter Jahbarri Bradshaw hosts the Youth Stage with a variety of hands-on activities for children of all ages to enjoy, including live music, games, storytelling, as well as arts and crafts. All activities are geared to help guide the youth to a deeper awareness of their ancestral roots and to heighten their creativity. The Youth Stage runs from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.

The last day of the festival is dedicated to fashion, food and praise music. The fashion show will feature some of Milwaukee’s finest designers. These artists gain their inspiration from a range of sources, from Afrocentric patterns to alternative fashions. Food will be provided on all three days of the festival by Men Who Cook with items sold for either $3 or $7 a piece. Hosted by Delvyn Crawford, the Sunday Gospel Concert closes the festival in song and praise starting at 11 a.m.

Ruben Hopkins, the CEO and chairman of the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce, spoke about why he created the festival.

“We have an issue of restoring our culture, where our culture exists beyond the month of February,” says Hopkins. A Milwaukee native, Hopkins could not help but notice how black money never stays in the black community.

“We deserve the same quality of life in our community as is seen in other communities,” Wisconsin he says. A few years ago, Hopkins reached out to the Wisconsin African American Women’s Black Arts Center with the idea to co-sponsor a black Festival arts festival. The festival would serve as a Wisconsin tool to unify the black community and shine African a positive light on it. Hopkins created the American festival, he says, “out of need.”

Women’s The co-sponsoring organizations are Center addressing the lack of black people’s financial investment and ownership in Feb. 2-4 their community. This festival creates an opportunity for building black entrepreneurship. It opens a platform for black entrepreneurs to connect and build future ideas for their own community. “To change the disparity, we must see the shift of ownership within the black community,” Hopkins concludes. “We aim to see a positive change in these neighborhoods when black business and ownership become more prominent within the community.”

The festival runs Feb. 2-4 at the Wisconsin African American Women’s Center, 3020 W. Vliet St. To register, visit business.twbcc.com.

Elysia Crampton w/ Itsï and Xexyz @ Cactus Club, 10 p.m.

The Milwaukee electronic music collectives Close Up of the Serene and Earth Angel have teamed up with Milwaukee Pride and UW-Milwaukee’s LGBT Resource Center to bring one of the most distinctive voices in the experimental club scene to Milwaukee. Drawing from a borderless pool of Latin, noise, hiphop and classical influences, California’s Elysia Crampton creates surrealist sound dioramas that comment on class and cultural identity. “The organizers of the night see it as a significant moment for the queerexperimental-electronic community here in Milwaukee, with most of us agreeing that this show would have seemed like a futile effort even a year ago,” says promoter Max Holiday.

Before this bill, which also features Chicago producer Itsï and Milwaukee modular synth composer Xexyz, Crampton will speak at the LGBT Resource Center. That lecture, “Queer Indigenous Deities,” begins at 1:30 p.m.

FRIDAY, FEB. 2 Ben Miller Band w/ Chicago Farmer @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

FRIDAY, FEB. 2

George Clinton

George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic @ The Pabst Theater, 8 p.m.

George Clinton now tours with a band billed as Parliament/ Funkadelic, giving the funk pioneer free reign to cull hits from both of his best-known ensembles (Parliament was the one that recorded “Flash Light,” for instance, while Funkadelic was responsible for “One Nation Under a Groove”). Recent Clinton concerts have featured the usual assortment of odd characters (a Pink Pimp, a diaper-clad guitarist, etc.), and although the 76-year-old ringmaster doesn’t spend as much time on stage as he used to—he disappears during long jams—Clinton’s band throws down long sets of thick, free-form funk, often with a heavy, acid-rock vibe that casual listeners might not anticipate.

San Fermin w/ Mikaela Davis @ The Back Room at Colectivo, 7:30 and 10:15 p.m.

Composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone enlisted a lot of help for his self-titled debut as San Fermin. More than 20 players lend their voices and instruments to the chamber-pop project’s self-titled 2013 debut, including singer Allen Tate, a baritone crooner who often comes across like a more sober version of The National’s Matt Berninger. The album garnered plenty of glowing comparisons to Sufjan Stevens and Dirty Projectors, as well as high accolades from The New York Times and NPR, which deemed it one of the best records of 2013. Since then, the band’s lineup has stabilized. The group’s peppy 2015 sophomore album, Jackrabbit, was their first with singer Charlene Kaye, and, like its 2017 follow-up, Belong, it’s swollen with bright, richly arranged pop songs.

SATURDAY, FEB. 3 Mitten Fest @ Burnhearts, noon-8 p.m.

Teaming with producer Chris Funk of The Decemberists, the roots-rock lovers in Missouri’s Ben Miller Band adopted something of an open-door policy for their new album, Choke Cherry Tree. The record features guest contributions from Decemberists players Jenny Conlee and Nate Query, saxophonist Ralph Carney (a frequent Tom Waits collaborator) and Dan Hunt of Neko Case’s band, among many others.

The record features the stomping blues-rock single “Akira Kurosawa.”

For a city that prides itself on its festivals, Milwaukee sure doesn’t offer many of them during the offseason. Thankfully, each year the Bay View beer-lover’s bar Burnhearts braves the cold with Mitten Fest, drawing thousands with the promise of strong drinks and live music. Performers at this year’s sixth installment of the event include Slow Walker, Lex Allen, NO/NO, Fox Face and Rose of the West. There will also be rare beers from Central Waters and Founders, ginger brandy and barrel Old Fashioneds, as well as an arts, craft and maker faire.

Milwaukee Gospel Jubilee @ Turner Hall Ballroom, 7:30 p.m.

Marilyn Manson w/ Amazonica @ The Rave, 8 p.m.

For decades Milwaukee’s rich gospel scene was a secret to nearly all but the faithful who attended the churches where this music can be heard each Sunday. That’s been changing in recent years, thanks in part to the organization Milwaukee Gospel and its annual fundraiser for Progressive Community Health Centers, which for five years running has spotlighted a variety of vocal ensembles, many of which have roots that span generations. This year’s lineup features six acts: Voices of Faith, Doc Smith & The Disciples, Genesis Singers, Spiritual Tones, Holy Hill Praise Dancers and the Messmer Gospel Choir.

Will Johnny Depp be playing guitar at Marilyn Manson’s rescheduled Milwaukee concert? In January Manson tweeted that Depp was considering playing guitar on the band’s most recent tour, and although it may sound unlikely, it wouldn’t be unprecedented: Depp and Manson are longtime friends, and Depp has appeared in two of the music videos from Manson’s most recent album, Heaven Upside Down. If Depp does sit in on guitar, though, he’ll be joining a tour that could charitably be called “damned.” Already several members of the band have dropped out over the course of the tour, including Manson’s longtime bassist Twiggy, who was kicked out after sexual assault allegations surfaced, and a stretch of the tour was canceled (including a planned October show at the Rave) when a stage prop collapsed on Manson, knocking him out and shattering his leg. You’ve got to admire his resilience, though: By November he was back on the road, performing in a wheelchair.

Andrea Gibson w/ Chastity Brown @ The Back Room at Colectivo, 6:30 and 9 p.m.

Since winning 2008’s inaugural Woman of the World Poetry Slam, Andrea Gibson has been one of the country’s most celebrated spoken word poets, and with each album and poetry collection, Gibson continues to discover new muses. Their most recent album, Hey Galaxy, was originally intended to be an orchestral record about the most universal of subjects—love—until the 2016 election upended those plans. Instead, Gibson ended up recording one of their most angry, passionate albums yet, a raw response to the politics of division. For their current tour, Gibson is performing with a stage design commissioned from Milwaukee artist Kristina Rolander.

John Cusack: ‘Say Anything’ @ The Riverside Theater, 7:30 p.m.

!"#$%&'()%*'+,

John Cusack had appeared in bit roles in teen comedies like Sixteen Candles and had anchored a couple of romantic comedies like Better off Dead and One Crazy Summer before 1989’s Say Anything…, but it was his turn as love-struck aspiring kickboxer Lloyd Dobler that cemented him as a star. Cusack will be on hand for this screening of the film, and will participate in a moderated conversation about the movie afterward, answering questions from the audience.

Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata w/ Hemming @ The Back Room at Colectivo, 8 p.m.

With her 2004 debut, Happenstance, Rachel Yamagata established herself as a songwriter’s songwriter, earning the respect of artists like Ray Lamontagne, Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst, Jason Mraz and Rhett Miller, all of whom she would go on to collaborate with in the years that followed. Song placements in dozens of television shows, including taste-making ones like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The O.C.,” helped her further expand her audience. Her fourth and most recent album, Tightrope Walker, is one of her most leisurely and richly arranged projects yet, which she credits to its fan-funded origins, which allowed her to record the album at her own house at her own pace. Though the piano remains front and center, it features an array of acoustic and electric guitars, as well as horns, mandolins and strings.

'Zombies from the Beyond'

THEATRE | PREVIEWS

!"#$%&'()*"#(+,&(-&."/0

No, this isn’t an old Ed Wood movie but a musical comedy sendup of the era in which the late director of z-class sci-fi films worked—the 1950s and all its schlocky and inadvertently comical invaders-from-space films. As Skylight Music Theatre’s artistic director Ray Jivoff explains, “Zombies from the Beyond is a hilarious spoof of sci-fi flicks [that] takes a funny, affectionate and nostalgic look at 1950s pop culture and the Eisenhower era. The show is playful and clever; even the title is funny because there are actually no ‘zombies’ in the show!”

As the production’s director, Pam Kriger, says: “I am happy to be back in the company of these endearing, likeable and funny characters. James Valcq has written a phenomenally clever and charming show… It’s such a fun ride.”

Intriguingly, Valcq says he was inspired to write Zombies due to his sister’s “unique, high lyric soprano voice… Her ‘stratospheric soprano’ led [me] to the idea of a flying saucer-driving alien whose voice is a secret weapon that zombifies all male hearers.” (John Jahn) Feb. 2-18 at the Cabot Theatre, 158 N. Broadway. For tickets, call 414-291-7800 or visit skylightmusictheatre.org

Many of us are at least passingly familiar with some of William Shakespeare’s considerable output of plays and sonnets, but there aren’t too many plays written about Shakespeare, much less that present him as one of its characters. But, both of these are the case with Bill Cain’s political thriller Equivocation, which will be directed by Michael Cotey and star David Cecsarini, Jonathan Smoots and Mark Ulrich. “Cain has done a remarkable job of bringing the spectator into Shakespeare’s world, as if we’re a fly on the Globe Theater’s wall,” remarks Cecsarini. “The language— when not Shakespeare’s lines—is smooth and rather contemporary, very direct and precise for the mind and ear.”

In conjunction with its run of Equivocation, Next Act Theatre will host a “ShakesFest Bonus Reading Series.” Monday, Feb. 12 features a reading of Angela Iannone’s The Seeds of Banquo; the following day sees a reading of Lauren Gunderson’s The Book of Will. The Seeds of Banquo concerns famous actor Edwin Booth rehearsing The Bard’s immortal Macbeth; The Book of Will, meanwhile, is a funny and fascinating story of how Shakespeare’s friends managed to save his plays for posterity. (John Jahn) Equivocation runs Feb. 1-25 at Next Act Theatre, 255 S. Water St. For tickets, call 414-278-0765 or visit nextact.org.

Its title sounds like a particularly morbid search on YouTube, but, according to artistic director Jaimelyn Gray, it’s “a timely show for how I see the world right now. Humans with so much feeling but unable to communicate this to the outside world, or to our fellow humans, and how that manifests.” She also says Rajiv Joseph’s play will be “a great way to introduce The Constructivists to the Milwaukee community as a small sample of the work we hope to produce: funny, quirky, sad [and] with a mess of emotions.” The Constructivists is a new Milwaukee-based professional theater company who state their mission is “to create viscerally driven live theatre, exposing and exploring the complexity of human nature and the perils it creates.” (John Jahn) Feb. 1-4 at The Underground Collaborative, 161 W.

From the earliest days, humans have shared their individual stories and communal concerns in dance. The subjects of the works to be premiered in the UW-Milwaukee Dance Department’s new winter concert need such sharing. They’ve been created with the students by faculty artists Daniel Burkholder, Maria Gillespie and Simone Ferro, and by guest D. Sabela Grimes, a leading hip-hop fusion artist from the University of Southern California.

Burkholder’s A Dance for my Daughter questions how to raise a daughter today and incorporates written passages by the performers and by poet Nicole Blackman.

Gillespie is thinking of climate catastrophe and a remerging nuclear arms race in Histories for an Apocalypse, with stories from the lives of her young performers keeping hope and possibility alive. Ferro continues her collaborative work with dance students, upper-level architecture students and members of the Sherman Park neighborhood community to address such issues as the right to have a home and the indiscriminate rental practices that have fragmented some Milwaukee neighborhood for decades. Grimes describes his Bubbling Utterance as “freestyle crowded with intent…that reflects the mindfulness needed to formulate and utter a word…to bear witness and respond to injustice sincerely and with integrity.” (John Schneider) 7:30 p.m., Feb. 1-4 in the new Jan Serr Studio on the sixth floor of Kenilworth Square East, 1925 E.

Seat of Our Pants Readers Theatre Troupe presents an “enhanced staged reading” (as the troupe’s L. Mark Flagg puts it) of Nilo Cruz’s 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Anna in the Tropics—a collaborative effort being undertaken with Milwaukee Entertainment Group.

This will actually be a two-part program—and here’s where the music part comes in. Things start off with mood-setting (and certainly mood-enhancing) live Latin music from the excellent UW-Milwaukee musicians Elena Abend (piano) and Orlando Pimentel (clarinet).

They’ll “present several sparkling original works by Latin American composers,” Flagg says. And, during the play’s reading, “live interludes integral to the script of music by Cuban composers [will be] delivered by worldrenowned classical guitarist Rene Izquierdo—also of the Peck School of the Arts.” (John Jahn) Feb. 1-3 at UWM Kenilworth 508 Theater, 1925 E. Kenilworth Place. For tickets, visit brownpapertickets.com and search event “3210528.”

[HOME MOVIES / OUT ON DIGITAL] n Women Without Men

Iranian film is usually described in terms of neo-realism, but Women Without Men (2009) is magical realism. In a story set against the turmoil of 1953—when a CIAbacked coup restored the shah to power—the dead emerge from the grave and love spells sometimes work. The complexity of Iranian society is represented, yet the focus stays on women confronting and sometimes escaping their restrictions.

The imagery of Shirin Neshat’s directorial debut is haunting.

[FILM CLIPS] I, Tonya R

She was known in figure skating as “Trashy Tonya” before achieving infamy by proving the worst fears of the skating elite when she was implicated in an assault on her rival, Nancy Kerrigan. Based on “irony free, wildly contradictory” real-life interviews with Tonya Harding and her confederates, I, Tonya satirizes the truck stop subculture that gave rise to her destructive class envy and the idiocy of her family and friends.

The film manages sympathy for Harding, pushed into skating by her abusive mother and pushed around by her abusive husband. Sharply written, brilliantly edited, funny and occasionally heartbreaking, I, Tonya is nicely photographed with superb acting all around, led by Margot Robbie has Harding, Sebastian Stan as her husband and Allison Jannye as her mother. (David Luhrssen)

Maze Runner: The Death Cure PG-13

This third-and-final chapter of the dystopian YA series finds the young “Gladers” engaged in violent confrontations with soldiers, zombified humans and mechanized spiders. Having learned the WCKD

Corporation is willfully sacrificing the Gladers in an attempt to cure a plague known as “The Flare,” most Gladers escape to freedom. However, to retrieve those of their friends still held captive, they must enter the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth. Director Wes Ball elevates the story with brisk pacing while downplaying James Dashner’s sillier plot twists (in his original YA novel, The Death Cure). The result markedly improves upon the second installment, giving the series a send-off the fans can appreciate. (Lisa Miller)

Winchester PG-13

Helen Mirren appears as Sarah Winchester, the wealthy widow of gun manufacturer William Winchester. Fearful of vengeful spirits, Sarah purchases a property near San Francisco and hires an army of carpenters to transform its eight-room home into a labyrinthine mansion.

Loosely based upon on a true story about the mysterious Winchester mansion, Sarah summons Dr. Price (Jason Clarke), a man of science unprepared to confront the supernatural. Mirren and Clarke class things up, but success rests upon the ability of writer-director brothers Michael and Peter Spierig to sell Sarah’s spiritual obsession. (L.M.)

n Shadowman

In the late 1970s Richard Hambleton painted shadow men on the asphalt canvas of Manhattan streets and—along with JeanMichel Basquiat and Keith Haring—became one of the city’s famed street artists. Unlike them, he turned his back on the gallery scene, disappeared from view and didn’t die at a young age. The Shadowman documentary finds him still alive, albeit disfigured by addiction and skin cancer, producing paintings of sublime beauty reminiscent of J.M.W. Turner.

RESISTANCE, PROTEST, RESILIENCE

n I Believe in Unicorns

With I Believe in Unicorns, director Leah Meyerhoff enters the private world of a pensive, dreamy teenage girl, Davina (Natalia Dyer). Composed in part from hand-held footage and home movies and making creative use of animation to illustrate Davina’s imaginative interior life, I Believe in Unicorns includes many touching moments as Davina explores sex, romance, responsibility and heartbreak. Coming-of-age stories are common. I Believe in Unicorns sees teenage life through different eyes.

n The Teacher

It’s 1983, first day of class in a Czechoslovakian elementary school, and the teacher asks her pupils for their parents’ “line of work.” The teacher starts trading with the parents—work jobs for good grades—and even sends the kids out on errands. The Czech film is a devastating satire of petty degradations under late Communism. Some of the parents and her colleagues object, but will fear of the teacher’s influence in the Party thwart justice?

O

he Wisconsin Artists Biennial is the Oscars of the local visual arts scene. Inclusion in the highly selective juried exhibition is tantamount to a nomination and a few of the 46 artists will receive more than the career-boosting prestige of participation. $10,000 in cash prizes will be dispersed, including $5,000 for the first place winner, the largest cash award of any arts competition in the state. More valuable still is the solo exhibition at the Museum of Wisconsin Art Painting by Janet Roberts that the first place winner also receives.

“This Biennial has a really strong group of emerging artists,” says Laurie Winters, the CEO/executive director of the Museum of Wisconsin Art, “many of whom are working with unconventional materials. I’ve never seen a biennial with so much paper before. Not just prints and photographs, but paper constructions, sculptures, book-based art.”

The 2018 Wisconsin Artists Biennial also reflects trends in how contemporary artists are working.

“For the first time, a number of artist collectives have pieces in the show,” notes Winters, “It’s an interesting social commentary on art production today. Younger artists are working more collaboratively.” One of these collectives, Madison’s Spooky Boobs Collective, will perform at 2:30 p.m. during the Biennial’s opening party on Saturday, Feb. 3, from 2-5 p.m.

Cedarburg Art Museum W63 N675 Washington Ave., Cedarburg There is an unfortunate and erroneous tendency to equate regional art with folksy, middlebrow work: accurate, if uninspired, paintings of Midwestern landscapes. “Wisconsin Modernists: Rebels from Regionalism” gives the lie to this prejudice with more than 70 artworks by 30 Wisconsin artists working from the 1930s through the 1960s whose depiction of the heartland was unmistakably modern. The exhibition selects the works from private collections, making this a unique opportunity to view the art. “Wisconsin Modernists: Rebels from Regionalism” opens with a reception on Friday, Feb. 2, from 5-7:30 p.m. At 6 p.m., Kevin Milaeger, one of the exhibition’s lenders, will speak about collecting Wisconsin art.

Local artists Todd Mrozinski and Renee Bebeau will paint fiery flames on four-foot-wide slabs of ice. The live painting event is the latest to take place in Black Cat Alley, the East Side’s bastion of street art, where an on-site bonfire will counteract the bite of winter. Afterwards, viewers are invited to join the artists at the future space of the Sip & Purr Cat Café (2021 E. Ivanhoe Place) to create paper fire collages.

t’s easy to think of technology as sterile, unfeeling and completely objective. Unfortunately, today’s digital systems are oftentimes automating in ways that negatively impact poor and working-class Americans most severely. In her new book, Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor, SUNY Albany professor of political science Virginia Eubanks tracks the insidious ways that our most cutting-edge digital tools track, investigate and punish the most economically vulnerable citizens.

Automating Inequality is a timely and powerful portrait of how technology perpetuates inequality.

Eubanks, who is also the author of Digital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age, has crafted a scholarly and startling portrait of Americans caught up in a system that regulates who is allowed to receive health care, food stamps or other vital resources. By moving fluidly from heart-wrenching stories of data-mining victims to a thorough explanation of predictive risk models and algorithms, this deeply researched account gives voice to the injustices that are behind the tracking of which neighborhoods get policed, what crimes end up being prosecuted and who is approved to receive housing assistance.

Eubanks will speak in the Milwaukee Public Library’s Richard E. and Lucile Krug Rare Books Room (814 W. Wisconsin Ave.), at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 5 in a free event co-sponsored by Boswell Book Co. and Community Advocates Public Policy Institute.

Eubanks has studied technology for more than two decades and is a founding member of Our Data Bodies Project as well as a fellow at New America. Pre-registration is requested for this event.

S

isters Sarah and Claire Moore were born and raised in Milwaukee. They attended UW-Milwaukee and left for different parts of the country but eventually ended up back in Milwaukee and now own The Pink House Studio (601 E. Wright St.) in Riverwest. The sisters emphasize the studio as an accessible community gathering space for people to try different yoga and dance classes.

When did the Pink House Studio open?

SM: We opened in 2007, so I guess 10 years ago now, and it was a super organic process. My sister, her partner and I did most of the remodeling, except we hired someone to help us do the floor. It had been a bar a long time ago. I lived here with my girlfriends in college.

CM: It took us five years to really create the space we wanted. It was visualizing it, then hacking down the walls, repairing the bathroom, redoing the floor and painting. There was a lot of damage too. It’s a nearly 120-year-old building.

Did you decide to paint it pink?

SM: It was already pink when we bought it. I asked people about the name (if it was confusing) because it doesn’t have yoga in it, but everyone in the neighborhood already knew this was the Pink House. We decided to stick with the name, even though I thought it wasn’t the best decision.

What is the mission of the Pink House?

SM: There’s a lot of emphasis in this culture on individual healing and doing yoga and movement for yourself, and the Pink

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

What are some classes you offer?

SM: We offer yoga classes, African dance class and once a month we have ecstatic dance, which is unchoreographed group dance. We often have song circles. I do a super gentle yoga for older women on Monday mornings. We also have this really beautiful thing called contact improvisation, which is a form of mediation and movement where you’re in contact with other people. A number of our teachers will use this space for private yoga classes and dancers will rent this space.

CM: I really believe there are different teachers for different people. What works for one person may not work for the next. I don’t work at finding a fit-all instructor or yoga class. I want to make sure there’s someone that works for each person.

When did you get into yoga?

CM: I got into yoga because I was a dancer. I came into yoga at 14 years old. I stopped because I could do almost everything, but when I came back to it later from a physical therapy perspective, I saw it was good for people. I’m a physical therapy assistant and I see the benefits.

Your website says you do not turn people away for lack of funds. Why is that?

SM: Our teachers are all independent contractors, so it depends on the teacher. I personally do not, and several other teachers won’t turn customers away. There are some individuals in the community who have a need but have very little money. I do a work exchange for some students, so they can take classes. Some teachers, however, expect students to pay, but they offer student rates or class packages.

CM: Some of our clientele are really in a place of need. They may be able for afford $5, but not $12. Their bodies are really in need.

We had this opportunity to cherry pick teachers based on their approach and practice, which is also a privilege.

Off the Cuff with Pink House Studio’s Sarah and Claire Moore!

House is really about doing those things together. Humans are social animals and if we really want to heal we have to come and create space together.

CM: For me it’s about service. I’m in a privileged position of owning a property I can do whatever I want with. I want to be able to give back to the community and give back to people who don’t have quite as much. It’s a healing and social place to come to. They can nurture their spirits and then pay it forward into the community.

Put Yourself at the Top of the List !"#$%&'()*"+

I constantly put new lovers first, put their needs ahead of my own and make their priorities my priorities. Then, when the relationship tanks, I’m left with nothing. My light bulb moment came after my last boyfriend dumped me. I turned down job opportunities to spend time with him, I put my goals on hold to support his, and I even sunk money into his business that went belly up. I lost so much after this last breakup, all because I didn’t put myself first. How can I avoid making this mistake again?

!"#$% &'()*+,

!"#$%,-.+%

I’m sorry about your breakup, Sugar Booger. On the flip side, hooray to you for making a realization that can change your life for the better!

One of the best traits an adult can have is the ability to remove himself from a situation that he’s very much a part of and examine that situation objectively—even when this means finding himself in a not-so-bright light. This ability can take you through many situations, help you understand yourself better and guide you toward making better decisions.

You tend to put a lover’s needs, desires and goals above your own? Now that you’ve discovered this about yourself, stop doing that! It’s that simple. The fact that you’ve realized this in your behavior is the largest step in fixing it.

Become extremely familiar with your goals and life priorities.

Write them down, think about them and work toward them every day. Don’t stop this practice when the next Mr. Right comes along. In fact, share your goals and priorities with him. Make your priorities just that…your priorities. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be supportive of a new guy’s goals, but don’t kick yours to the curb in the name of love.

BODY FUTURES KEEP IT WEIRD

::BY LAUREN KEENE

o Milwaukee rock band lets their freak flag fly quite as high as Body Futures. Sort of noise-rock and sort of power-pop, the group’s sound is almost impossible to describe to the average listener. Unable and unwilling to embrace the uninteresting, the group proudly embraces their outlier status within Milwaukee music scene. The band’s approaching-middle-aged members are considerably older than the average rock showgoer, and they play more shows in Racine than they do here in Milwaukee.

Body Futures released their selftitled debut back in 2014. The fouryear gap between albums has given the group plenty of time to grow comfortable with one another and work on their sophomore effort, Maybe it’s Just the Weather, and the band has become more inclined to take risks, both onstage and in the studio.

Vocalist and keyboardist Dixie Jacobs describes the band’s bonding as “a relationship-consciousness experience” and says their intimacy encouraged a much more cohesive album. “On the first record, you’re coming from different directions and focusing in on one thing,” she explains. “For the second record, you’re one thing going off in different directions.”

Each member of Body Futures comes from a very different musical background: ’90s indie, dad rock, skate punk and jangle pop are only a few of the genres that influence the band’s unmistakable sound.

Jacobs says that variety helps Body Futures stand out among other rock acts. “I think it makes a band more interesting and harder to describe when you’re bring-

tler. Jacobs says recent political events have inspired changes in lyrical tones apparent on Maybe it’s Just the Weather. “When you get older and you don’t want to write songs about boys, you start to write songs about men that are trying to blow up the planet,” she says.

“I don’t know how I can contribute to fixing all the problems in the world, but I can certainly write a song ing a lot of influences and preferences in,” she explains. where someone says, ‘Yeah, I feel that way!’”

T

he inclusion of a lyric sheet with a rock album is often superfluous. Sometimes, the words are better left buried in the mix. On Paul Creswell’s debut album, however, the lyrics are worth reading as well as hearing. The album’s title, The Talesman, is telling: The archaic-sounding word means to say that his songs are actually stories.

“I like storytelling in songs because I can create a range of emotions very quickly. That feels real to me because life is that way—characterized by mixes of emotions. I’m attracted to that ambiguity,” Creswell says. “Stories are fun to write into songs because they have that range, yet they’re also temporally confined. I think that if I wrote longer stories I might have a hard time deciding what to leave in or take out. In a song, you’re so constrained by the format that, unless a word or phrase contributes meaningfully, it’s got to be cut. I like those parameters. The challenge of making it all work is part of the fun.”

The Talesman’s music is carried almost entirely on Creswell’s Paul acoustic guitar. He’s thoroughly grounded in the best aspects of Creswell the ’70s singer-songwriter aesthetic.

Art*Bar “I grew up appreciating poetry and listening to lyric-driven Monday, music like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Case April 2 in point: ‘The Best of All Possible Worlds’ by Kristofferson. The humor in there, the alliteration, the rhythms and the internal rhymes—that song is ingenious and poetic but also simultaneously relatable. That’s inspiring stuff to me.”

The Talesman’s opening number, “Doubt,” narrates a fundamentalist’s disillusion steeped in the verbiage of evangelical Protestantism. Despite the protagonist’s loud affirmations of faith, “Doubt came creeping.” The evangelist demanded signs and wonders, but the sky remained silent. “Ms. Wilson” suggests a story from an old Weird Tales pulp magazine in its wild-eyed, tomb-robbing ghoul haunting a small-town graveyard.

Most of Creswell’s lyrics reflect on small towns or rural settings. Some are ringed with an aura of strangeness or foreshadows of catastrophe.

“My grandparents had a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin that I used to visit every summer as a kid. I also spent a lot of time outdoors growing up. So, nature is an important part of my worldview, and I have warm spaces in my heart for rural areas. I’ve been in Madison slightly over a decade now. Once I moved there, I didn’t want to live anywhere else.” He began playing solo around Mad City two years ago and has lately been venturing down the road, traveling as far as Hannibal, Mo., for a gig.

“I’m writing more poetry these days, actually. I attended a writing seminar last summer led by former Wisconsin Poet Laureate Marilyn Taylor. That was a wonderful experience,” Creswell says. He will be reading his own words—including some from The Talesman—at the 2018 Winter Festival of Poetry in Madison.

Paul Creswell will perform on Paul Creswell Monday, April 2, at Art*Bar, 722 E. Burleigh St.

::ALBUMS Chris Bell

The Complete Chris Bell (OMNIVORE)

Big Star

Live At Lafayette’s Music Room – Memphis, TN (OMNIVORE) Time was Big Star records were more likely talked about than actually heard. But the folks at Omnivore Recordings take musical archaeology quite seriously. Having previously released a Big Star box set as well as the complete recordings of the band’s LP Third, they naturally took things a step further.

Big Star founder Chris Bell left the band after the debut album and never released an LP in his lifetime. In 1978 he died in a car accident at age 27. Bell’s lone release, a 45 RPM single “I Am the Cosmos” was long considered among the holiest grails to record collectors.

Yet Bell was busy recording and The Complete Chris Bell offers the listener six albums to answer those “what if” questions. It can be argued the blueprint for Big Star was laid with the band Rock City in 1969. There was a select group of young Memphians who were taught by John Fry at Ardent Studios the basics of recording, engineering and production and Bell certainly seems to have learned his lessons well. The Rock City tracks reveal a band that is as professional as any major label release of the day.

The recordings by Icewater find Bell inching ever closer to the sounds in his head, influenced by the latter Beatles albums and other British Invasion bands who began to take their art in more serious directions. If this material is a bit heavier and displays more virtuoso than Big Star, it pads Bell’s early resume as no slouch.

In 1992 Rykodisc released the first compilation of Chris Bell recordings as I Am the Cosmos on CD. Omnivore added other post-Big Star recordings, and this here is the cracker jacks. The title cut is a staggering monolith, maybe even the apotheosis of dream-jangle power pop.

The songs that surround it show Bell as a talented songwriter on par with Badfinger or The Raspberries. To consider that Big Star and Bell’s music was virtually unheard at the time it was made is nothing short of a tragedy.

As a writer Bell’s lyrics provide a field day for interpretation. The Big Star documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me offers insights into this talented and complicated young man and his battles with his spirituality and sexuality. Lucky for us he channeled his feelings into his art.

Big Star Live At Lafayette’s Music Room—Memphis, TN finds a post-Bell trio of Alex Chilton, Jody Stephens and Andy Hummel sharing a gig with Archie Bell & the Drells in early 1973.

The lack of applause—or any audience response—suggests this may not have been an ideal double bill.

Originally released as part of the Keep an Eye on the Sky box set and now remastered, this live set finds a band that was all but defunct playing a gig to honor a booking. In essence, they had nothing to lose. Chilton fronts the band and delivers more genius guitar playing than even his most ardent fans would expect. Stephens and Hummel provide rhythmic support that borders on ESP. Whatever is the opposite of a power trio, Big Star was it on this night. Covers of The Flying Burrito Brothers, T-Rex, Todd Rundgren and the Kinks offer a glimpse into their personal listening habits.

Something bugging you? Find out what the Shrink thinks

Dear Shrink,

I

!"# $%&%'()*# +,-.$&%+# /0(%$# /# 123 *%/$# "/$$,/4%# (.# /# "/'# !" #$%&'(" have left at about the five-year point.

Wouldn’t you know it; he was the one who finally pulled the plug after he fell in lust with a co-worker half his age. The hard part now is that he’s been posting nasty comments about me and about our divorce on Facebook. And then there are the pictures of him and the new girlfriend nuzzling each other. He also texts me, usually at bar time, about getting back together, how he’s changed, etc.

How do I get him to stop?

!"#$%"&'()$*#+,'#-

What an ordeal. He sounds like a real prince. Although your life with this guy was less than satisfying (and that’s putting it mildly), it doesn’t surprise me that you’re still on his mind. And by that I don’t mean the wistful, friendly kind of “on his mind,” but the kind where he thinks he can still control you and is likely going to keep trying until he gets tired of it.

So, first of all, congratulations to you for being out of his daily domestic orbit, no matter who initiated it. I’ll bet it feels like a relief.

But the two of you had a well-established relational game going for many years, so now it’s time for you to take some control of your half of this equation and change up the old games with some new strategies of your own.

Think about these options: Stay away from social media. I know you’re ready to argue with me but hear me out. Facebook is a curse. It provides a platform for some pretty cruel ways to annoy, bully and harass (not to mention manipulate elections, but that’s another topic for another day). And do you really need to check Instagram to see what he was up to last weekend when you were home with sick kids?

I get it. You are living a non-coupled life now, and it takes more conscious effort and energy to stay connected with people. This is the mixed blessing of social media sites. They are fantastic for frequent, spontaneous connection with people you don’t have time to chat with or meet for dinner. At a minimum, consider blocking your access to him—and his to you—in whatever way you can. Lock down your privacy settings and see if that helps. I can’t do anything about you feeling morbidly curious and going out of your way to troll him, but at least if you put some obstacles in the way you might not be as tempted, and he might run into some digital brick walls.

If you can’t bear the thought of going completely social media free, think about SHEPHERD EXPRESS

shutting down your current Facebook account and opening up a new one under a name that he won’t recognize. Make sure you tell your essential friends what you’re doing and divert the traffic to the new profile. If some of these friends have been keeping you up to speed on his social life because they’re seeing his posts and tweets and think you should, too, consider asking them to please not share this stuff with you, no matter how juicy it may be. It’s irritating and hurtful to you, and you certainly don’t need that in addition to all of the other adjustments you’re making these days.

Do you feel as though his random texts border on harassment? Do you feel afraid about anything he says to you? This is a level of intimidation that might warrant a nononsense message from you (or from your divorce attorney) telling him to lay off. Depending on whether he’s truly an abusive guy or just a pesty and annoying one, this could either egg him on (knowing he’s getting to you) or could be your “line in the sand” communication to him that you’re not playing the game anymore and won’t be responding to him when he contacts you without a good reason to do so.

If you have any concerns at all about your safety, make sure you tell people close to you what’s going on, and if you are unsure about how to handle anything that worries you, local or national domestic violence hotlines are great resources. The people who staff them have talked to many women just like you and will help you evaluate your situation. No question is a stupid question, and no worry is a stupid worry. Ever.

Even though you say you should’ve left your marriage many years ago, remember, you stayed in it for good reasons. Maybe for your kids, maybe financial, maybe because of your history together, etc. People stay in mediocre marriages for lots of reasons that make sense at the time and aren’t necessarily the wrong choice. For you, it may have been a case of “too good to leave, too bad to stay” (which, by the way, is the name of an interesting book on the topic).

Regardless of how bad things can get along the rocky road of marriage, even in the worst cases, there is at least 1% of it that was OK enough. That’s why it still hurts like hell when the marriage you hoped would end actually does. You have to grieve the loss of the 1%—or more—that was good.

Losing what you thought your life was going to look like 16 years ago when you walked down the aisle is often worse than losing the actual marriage. So give yourself some space to grieve the loss of your dream. You’ll get through this, and, in time, you’ll have new dreams to look forward to. !"# $%&# '()*%# +,# -.+$$&"# /0# 1# 2+*&",&3# 4&"$12#%&12$%#5.(6&,,+("127#8&.#139+*&#+,#"($# 4&1"$#1,#1#,)/,$+$)$&#6(.#4&"$12#%&12$%#*1.&7 :&"3# 0().# ;)&,$+(",# $(# ("$%&*()*%<,%&= 5&>7*(47 '(44&"$#1$#,%&5%&.3&>5.&,,7*(47#

::NEWS OF THE WEIRD

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was in my early twenties, I smoked marijuana now and then. I liked it. It made me feel good and inspired my creativity and roused spiritual visions. But I reconsidered my use after encountering pagan magician Isaac Bonewits. He didn’t have a moral objection to cannabis use, but believed it withered one’s willpower and diminished one’s determination to transform one’s life for the better. For a year, I meditated on and experimented with his hypothesis. I found it to be true, at least for me. I haven’t smoked since. My purpose in bringing this up is not to advise you about your relationship to drugs, but rather to urge you to question whether there are influences in your life that wither your willpower and diminish your determination to transform your life for the better. Now is an excellent time to examine this issue.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like to shed unwieldy baggage before moving on to your next big challenge? I hope so. It will purge your soul of karmic sludge. It will prime you for a fresh start. One way to accomplish this bravery is to confess your sins and ask for forgiveness in front of a mirror. Here are data to consider. Is there anyone you know who would not give you a good character reference? Have you ever committed a seriously unethical act? Have you revealed information that was told to you in confidence? While under the influence of intoxicants or bad ideas, have you done things you’re ashamed of? I’m not saying you’re more guilty of these things than the rest of us; it’s just that now is your special time to seek redemption.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In all of history, humans have mined about 182,000 tons of gold. Best estimates suggest there are still 35 billion tons of gold buried in the earth, but the remaining riches will be more difficult to find and collect than what we’ve already gotten. We need better technology. If I had to say who would be the entrepreneurs and inventors best qualified to lead the quest, my choice would be members of the Aries tribe. For the foreseeable future, you people will have extra skill at excavating hidden treasure and gathering resources that are hard to access.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stories have the power to either dampen or mobilize your life energy. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will make heroic efforts to seek out the latter and avoid the former. Now is a crucial time to treat yourself to stories that will jolt you out of your habitual responses and inspire you to take long-postponed actions and awaken the sleeping parts of your soul. And that’s just half of your assignment, dear Taurus. Here’s the rest: Tell stories that help you remember the totality of who you are, and that inspire your listeners to remember the totality of who they are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Anaïs Nin said, “There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don’t work.” For two reasons, Anaïs’ formulation is especially apropos for you right now. First, you should not allow yourself to be seduced, tempted or won over by sweet gestures alone. You must insist on sweet gestures that are synergized by a sense of wonder and an appreciation of your unique beauty. Second, you should adopt the same approach for those you want to seduce, tempt or win over: sweet gestures seasoned with wonder and an appreciation of their unique beauty.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Are you more inclined right now to favor temporary involvements and short-term promises?

Or would you consider making brave commitments that lead you deeper into the Great Mystery? Given the upcoming astrological omens, I vote for the latter. Here’s another pair of questions for you, Cancerian. Are you inclined to meander from commotion to commotion without any game plan? Or might you invoke the magic necessary to get involved with high-quality collaborations? I’m hoping you’ll opt for the latter. (P.S. The near future will be prime time for you to swear a sacred oath or two.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In March 1996, a man burst into the studio of radio station Star FM in Wanganui, New Zealand. He took the

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

manager hostage and issued a single demand: that the DJ play a recording of the Muppet song “The Rainbow Connection,” as sung by the puppet Kermit the Frog. Fortunately, police intervened quickly, no one was hurt and the kidnapper was jailed. In bringing this to your attention, Leo, I am certainly not suggesting that you imitate the kidnapper. Please don’t break the law or threaten anyone with harm. On the other hand, I do urge you to take dramatic, innovative action to fulfill one of your very specific desires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many varieties of the nettle plant will sting you if you touch the leaves and stems. Their hairs are like hypodermic needles that inject your skin with a blend of irritant chemicals. And yet nettle is also an herb with numerous medicinal properties. It can provide relief for allergies, arthritis, joint pain and urinary problems. That’s why Shakespeare invoked the nettle as a metaphor in his play Henry IV, Part 1: “Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety,” says the character named Hotspur. In accordance with the astrological omens, Virgo, I choose the nettle as your power metaphor for the first three weeks of February.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Knullrufs is a Swedish word that refers to what your hair looks like after sex: tousled, rumpled, disordered.

If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, you should experience more knullrufs than usual in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you need and deserve extra pleasure and delight, especially the kind that rearranges your attitudes as well as your coiffure. You have license to exceed your normal quotas of ravenousness and rowdiness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his “Crazy Lake Experiment” documented on YouTube, Harvard physicist Greg Kestin takes a raft out on a lake. He drops a tablespoon of olive oil into the water, and a few minutes later, the halfacre around his boat is still and smooth. All the small waves have disappeared. He proceeds to explain the science behind the calming effect produced by a tiny amount of oil. I suspect that you will have a metaphorically comparable power in the next two weeks, Scorpio. What’s your version of the olive oil?

Your poise? Your graciousness? Your tolerance? Your insight into human nature?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1989, a man spent four dollars on a painting at a flea market in Adamstown, Pennsylvania. He didn’t care much for the actual image, which was a boring country scene, but he thought he could use the frame. Upon returning home, he found a document concealed behind the painting. It turned out to be a rare old copy of America’s Declaration of Independence, originally created in 1776. He eventually sold it for $2.42 million. I doubt that you will experience anything quite as spectacular in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But I do suspect you will find something valuable where you don’t expect it, or develop a connection with something that’s better than you imagined it would be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the 1740s, a teenage Capricorn girl named Eliza Lucas almost single-handedly introduced a new crop into American agriculture: indigo, a plant used as a dye for textiles. In South Carolina, where she managed her father’s farm, indigo ultimately became the second-most-important cash crop over the next 30 years. I have astrological reasons to believe that you are now in a phase when you could likewise make innovations that will have long-range economic repercussions. Be alert for good intuitions and promising opportunities to increase your wealth.
