Hemp Industry Grows Overnight

Wisconsin’s Booming Market for Cannabis !"#$%&'$()*+$,+-.$,+)&'/&0$%&'$1.)%2)$ 345,$5-2$*)'/1%6$.),)%.1($6%0,$5)(/&' ::BY MARY SUSSMAN BD dispensaries and cafes have opened all over town, and new ones seem to be popping up frequently. The website of the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions lists more than 150 corporations with the words “hemp,” “cannabis” or “CBD” in their names. Most of them organized or registered as corporations in the past year or so.

In case you’re wondering, CBD is short for cannabidiol, the chemical compound in cannabis plants known as “industrial hemp,” that have had the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) bred out of them. THC, CBD’s more famous cousin (at least until recently) is the active compound found in marijuana and is responsible for producing a high when it connects with cannabidiol receptors in the body. CBD does not produce euphoria but is coveted as a medicine for a wide range of conditions.

In 2017, when growing hemp was legalized in Wisconsin, growers and CBD oil product producers and retailers enthusiastically embraced cannabis sativa L (industrial hemp). Consumers have shared their enthusiasm. CBD-producing hemp must have a THC concentration of less than .3% after drying to be legal under the 2014 federal Farm Bill and under Wisconsin’s Act 100. Since that time, CBD has grown in popularity with the public. People are seeking it out as a panacea. Some enthusiasts tout relief from an extensive range of diseases and afflictions, including acne, opioid addiction, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, anxiety, stress and schizophrenia. Though it has been studied in laboratories for more than 50 years for possible pharmacological applications, it has gained popularity in recent years largely by word of mouth.

LOCAL OFFICIALS LOOK TO GET BACK A LARGER SHARE OF MONEY GOING TO STATE ::BY DAN SHAW

T

he Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors may have found little with which to agree with County Executive Chris Abele over the years, but on this much they now see eye-to-eye: Milwaukee County will never be able to extricate itself from its long-standing financial troubles without some help from the State of Wisconsin.

This recognition was put into official form !"#$%&'()*+,#-./0#1,#2%."#3%.#4!&"3+#5!*')# and the County Executive took the unusual step of passing and signing a new resolution on the same day. The proposed remedy— given the shorthand name “A Fair Deal for Milwaukee County”—gives a brief summary of the county’s financial difficulties and then recommends a number of steps state lawmak6 ers can take to help.

Among the liabilities, the resolution lists between $500 million and $1 billion needed for capital projects, such as a new criminal courthouse and medical examiner’s office and repairs to the Mitchell Park Domes. Also noted *'.#3%.#.7.'68"9'.*(8":#9!(3#!;#<."(8!"(#;!'#'.6 tired public employees, $200 million worth of deferred maintenance at county parks and a “structural deficit” that’s projected to come to $80 million by 2023.

As remedies, local officials propose let6 ting the county raise revenue from some new source, most likely a sales tax that would be offset by a corresponding reduction in local property taxes. They also call on lawmakers

to reimburse Milwaukee County for its ob6 ligation to patrol local stretches of highway (no other county is under a similar mandate); to evenly divide money collected from court ;..(#/.32.."#3%.#(3*3.#*")#3%.#9!&"3+#=>?@#!;# which currently goes to the state); and to help reduce local governments’ healthcare costs by accepting money offered under the federal Af6 fordable Care Act (ACA).

Beyond that, officials are hoping for some recognition that Milwaukee and its neighboring municipalities remain the economic engines of the state. Even as income taxes generated local6 ly have increased over the years, the amounts sent back in the form of shared revenue have remained stagnant. The result, according to es6 timates, has been a net export of $400 million to the state between 2009 and 2015.

“I think we are just seeking some recogni6 tion that the county has been sending more '.(!&'9.(#3!#3%.#(3*3.,#*")#3%*3#8(#%!2#3%.+A7.# seen their growth,” said Milwaukee County Board Chairman Theodore Lipscomb. “We need to renew our partnership.

Tough Sell to Republicans But, no matter how strong the arguments in its favor, the Fair Deal resolution is likely to be a tough sell to the Republicans who now con6 trol the State Legislature. Top GOP lawmak6 ers like Assembly Speaker Robin Vos have long resisted attempts to let local governments adopt additional taxes and have made their

opposition to the ACA a central part of their political identities.

Lipscomb, though, is not alone in being optimistic about the Fair Deal resolution’s prospects. True, Republicans have shown little inclination over the years to help a county that many perceive as a hive of left-leaning vot6 ers; high turnout in both Milwaukee and Dane counties was credited in large part for giving Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, a victory over Scott Walker last November. Even before that election, some of the policies adopted by the Republicans who control the State Legislature seemed meant mainly to block Milwaukee County officials at every pass.

But, despite its undeniable lean toward Democrats, Milwaukee County remains partly represented by Republicans. State Sen. Dale Kooyenga, a Republican from Brookfield, has a district that crosses over into western Mil6 waukee County; and State Sen. Alberta Dar6 ling, a Republican who holds a powerful seat !"# 3%.# (3*3.A(# /&):.362'838":# C!8"3# -8"*"9.# Committee, hails from the northern suburb of River Hills. (Neither could be reached for comment for this article.)

Just as much as with local legislators, though, Lipscomb hopes to strike a sympa6 thetic note with Republican lawmakers from throughout the state. Like many, Lipscomb is quick to note that, although Milwaukee Coun6 ty’s obligations might be unique in some ways among Wisconsin’s 72 counties, its problems are not. Local officials have long strained un6 der property tax caps that tie the amount of money they can levy in any given year to the value of new construction in the previous year.

The resulting budgetary pressures have been felt in places about as far away from Milwau6 kee County as it’s possible to get in Wisconsin.

Public Campaign for Change On Friday, Feb. 8, a delegation from the far northwestern city of Superior came to Madi6 son for an annual event named Superior Days.

State Rep. Evan Goyke, a Democrat represent6

ing the city of Milwaukee, said Superior of6 ficials again expressed a desire for legislative permission to collect food and beverage and hotel room taxes to support local economic development. Goyke said the more that local officials from far-flung corners of the state get behind such pushes, the harder they will be to '.(8(30 “I think we don’t need to worry about Re6 publicans now,” he said. “What we need is to come together—cities, counties, suburbs and public and private users of government ser6 vices—and run one hell of a public campaign together to get this law changed. It’s easy to say no now. Let’s make it hard to say no later.”

Lipscomb said work is already underway to build a coalition. On Monday, Feb. 11, rep6 resentatives of the 19 cities and villages that make up the Milwaukee County Intergovern6 mental Cooperation Council voted to support the Fair Deal resolution. In an even bigger sign of this cause’s rallying force, Lipscomb and Abele have elected to put aside their past differences over everything from the County Board’s powers to the county’s recently ad6 opted wheel tax to present a unified front to the state. In an email statement, Abele agreed that an even bigger coalition is needed. “Re6 publicans and Democrats in the State Legisla6 ture—and the public—have a vested interest in building a better Milwaukee County and a stronger Wisconsin,” he said.

Lipscomb said county officials were able last year to avoid many difficult decisions, such as on a proposal calling for parking fees in public parks, largely because of their belief that the state will eventually step up to help. If that doesn’t happen, tough choices will be all but inevitable.

“I don’t think this is something that’s one and done, and I don’t think we’ll get every6 thing we need in this biennium,” Lipscomb concluded. “But this isn’t going away. And without some serious sort of action, things are only going to get more contentious.” !"##$%&'(&')*$+*$,-$.+,$))/0"#/#n

overnor Evers has announced that he will put marijuana reform into his first budget next month. He proposes “to legalize medical marijuana, decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use, establish an expungement procedure for individuals who have completed their sentences or probation for possession and align Wisconsin’s laws on cannabidiol, also known as CBD oil, with federal standards.” Wisconsin would join 33 other states that have reformed marijuana laws based on scientific medical evidence.

Governor Evers also addressed the social justice implications of our backward marijuana laws saying: “Wisconsin has the highest incarceration rate in the country for black men, and drug-related crimes account for as many as 75-85% of all inmates in our prisons.” This is a very important first step in dealing with mass incarceration.

Also, if Wisconsin wants to be a leader in the high-skilled, high-income 21st century world economy, we can’t be locking up individuals for smoking a joint and destroying their careers when, across the border in Illinois, medical marijuana is legal.

Our Voters Made It Clear: We Want Change

In last November’s election, referenda about legalizing marijuana were on the ballots in 16 counties—rural counties and urban counties, red counties and blue counties—along with two additional cities. The voters spoke loudly and clearly: Overall, nearly 80% of the voters in all of the 16 county elections where medical marijuana was on the ballot supported legalizing medical marijuana. Other states that have legalized medical marijuana have found other major health benefits in addition to the well-known medical conditions that were positively treated with medical marijuana, including cancer, glaucoma, child seizures and chronic pain. Veterans suffering from PTSD found significant relief and people fighting opioid addiction have had very positive results from medical marijuana. The evidence for the health benefits of medical marijuana is clear; the reasons for opposing its legalization are not.

Contact State Senator Alberta Darling

Our Northshore State Senator, Alberta Darling, has been dancing around the issue. According to Monday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, she was quoted in January saying that she didn’t think “there is strong support in the legislature yet.” Alberta Darling has been in the legislature for more than 25 years and is co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee, the most powerful committee in the legislature, which puts her in a major leadership position. If Alberta Darling would be willing to help veterans, cancer patients, the individuals fighting opioid addiction and the children suffering from seizures by strongly supporting this legislation, people in the state capitol believe it would have a greater than 90% chance of passing. The ball is in Senator Darling’s court.

Unfortunately, despite Darling’s leadership position, she appears afraid to lead. She is also apparently unwilling to follow the nearly 80% of Wisconsin voters who want marijuana reform.

Senator, you can lead, you can follow, or you could just get out of the way.

It’s important that Senator Darling understands that there is broad-based support, and that younger, older, Republican, Democratic, urban and suburban voters all support this science-based legislation by a four-to-one margin. Please contact Sen. Alberta Darling and politely ask her to support Governor Tony Evers’ Marijuana Reform Legislation.

Her contact information is Sen.Darling@legis.wisconsin.gov; and her office number is 608-266-5830.

ublications such as Cycling Weekly and Bicycling have published myriad articles dedicated to joint, muscle, back and neck pain, along with pain prevention and recovery strategies.

Going the distance for pro- and semi-pro cyclists often means dealing with varying degrees of discomfort, so offering cannabidiol (CBD) products was a natural progression for Wheel & Sprocket.

The prominent Wisconsin-based bicycle retailer had been getting requests from customers to carry CBD products, according to general manager Kathy DeVries, who handles marketing at Wheel & Sprocket. “The nature of bicycling is that it’s a very active sport, and we have a number of customers that will get joint pain,” she said.

Wheel & Sprocket’s nine locations throughout the greater Milwaukee area, the Fox Valley, Madison and Chicago began offering Floyd’s of Leadville brand CBD hydration products, oils, recovery powder, balms, soft gels and creams toward the end of 2018. DeVries says they had already offered non-CBD versions of items such as hydration powder and balms, so adding CBD forms of those products was a natural extension.

Colorado-based Floyd’s of Leadville was founded by American former professional road racing cyclist Floyd Landis. “CBD has so many health benefits, and because Floyd’s of Leadville is made for the bicycling industry, we decided to bring this particular product in,” DeVries continues. “We were approached by Floyd’s and were impressed that they focus on cycling. Our customers are continually looking for solutions to joint pain relief, and we have heard great stories how CBD is helping them with that problem.”

As Floyd’s of Leadville states on its website: “We use only altitude-grown hemp from Colorado and use CO2 extraction, so there’s no preservatives or additives—just natural organic CBD hemp oil. Of course, all our hemp is non-GMO [not genetically modified], so you get all of the goodness with none of the pesticides.” They also have information and links to articles about how CBD can promote recovery and manage inflammation post-exercise.

Landis—who sustained injuries after a crash and needed hip replacement surgery at the age of 31—turned to opiates to escape physical pain and depression. He later discovered CBD as an alternative to addictive prescription opiates, which led him to form Floyd’s of Leadville, which is one of only a few CBD companies catering specifically to athletes. According to DeVries, Hammer Nutrition Company, specializing in endurance sports nutrition, is introducing a CBD line. “We imagine more companies will introduce a CBD athletic line as well,” she says.

Wheel & Sprocket does a lower volume of business during the winter months, so the off-season was a good time to introduce CBD products in preparation for the start of the cycling season. “We will get more experience with customers using CBD once the cycling season in Wisconsin and Chicago really takes off around April,” DeVries says, “but we are selling mostly CBD oils and balms at this point, and so far, we’ve been getting great feedback in that it is helping customers with joint pain.”

CROSSING BOUNDARIES AT DAMASCUS GATE, MILWAUKEE’S NEWEST MIDDLE EAST RESTAURANT

Mediterranean and the Near East. Like music, food has traveled easily through the region, crossing the artificial barriers of politics and the even harder boundaries of language and religion. Damascus Gate serves “mixed grill” entrees ($11.99) with skewers of red meat and chicken; falafel or kefta (ground meat) kabob sandwiches ($6.99/$7.99); cheese or spinach pie by the slice ($1.99); steaming bowls of lentil soup ($3.99); yalanji (rice-stuffed grape leaves) ($4.99); and tangy tabbouleh ($5.99), a salad made from parsley and cracked wheat. At Damascus Gate, vegetarians will have no lack of options, but meateaters will also be pleased.

A good way to sample the menu is provided by the mixed appetizer platter ($16.99), an array of selections ample enough to feed two. It includes hummus, falafel, baba ganouj, tabbouleh and moussaka—grilled eggplant diced and served in seasoned tomato sauce (unlike the layered, lasagna-like version familiarly presented in Greek restaurants). For $2 more, you can add kibbeh— four large meat-and-onion-filled footballs of bulgar wheat. The kibbeh portion is almost substantial enough for a meal all its own.

Diners seeking Native American fare apart from the Indian Summer festival season may be glad to find it on the menu of Potawatomi Hotel & Casino’s Fire Pit Sports Bar & Grill (1721 W. Canal St.). Fry bread and tacos made with fry bread are natural finger food inclusions for a setting filled with sports on big screen TVs. Folks with appetites not that starchy have a lighter, delightful option in a walleye fillet. The sweet white fish is served fried or—my preference—baked, with a serving of mildly seasoned wild rice and another of small broccoli flowerets with a hint of grated cheese making for a balanced, filling meal. A cup of bison chili adds more protein, different textures and a slowly-spreading heat abetted by a topping of chopped white onion. Potawatomi’s Fire Pit offers a fine fix of indigenous deliciousness.

ilwaukee’s past is often seen through the lens of industry and big factories, but “Growing Place: A Visual Study of Urban Farming,” now at MSOE’s Grohmann Museum, shows there were more ways to grow a city. Milwaukee was a frontrunner in gardening dating back to the late 1800s, laying the groundwork for the urban farm visionaries of today.

Guest curators Michael Carriere, assistant professor at MSOE’s Humanities, Social Science and Communications Department, and David Schalliol, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at St. Olaf College, gathered a collection of photographs, documents, signs, posters and farm tools to tell Milwaukee’s agricultural story. Items were acquired from UW-Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Library, the Milwaukee County Historical Society and individuals.

“Growing Place” was born out of a broader project Carriere had been involved with, which studied placemaking (a multifaceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces) following the Great Recession, and how cities try to bounce back from severe financial crisis.

“One of the things we kept coming back to was that, city after city, urban agriculture was dominant,” Carriere says. “I had already

14 | F E B R U A R Y 2 1 , 2 0 1 9

had some awareness that Milwaukee was seen as a hub for this type of activity, predominantly because Will Allen is here. I’m a historian, so I became curious—how did Milwaukee position itself as this leading actor?”

Those answers unfold throughout the exhibition: We learn how, in the late 1800s, Polish immigrants received much-needed work on Henry Griswold Comstock’s urban celery farm. Or how Charles Whitnall had created a plan in 1911 that called for Downtown fruit orchards as a way to provide a healthy food product, give unemployed men jobs and make use of the space.

Visitors see glimpses as to how vegetable gardening helped feed poverty-stricken families during the Great Depression. During his research, Carriere had learned that Milwaukee was one of the leading cities of victory gardens during World War I and World War II. “However you measured it—in numbers, per capita or production—Milwaukee was the number one city to be able to do this on a really large scale,” Carriere says.

Photos document farmers markets of the past, such as Center Street Market, the predecessor to the Fondy Farmers Market, and Commission Row, a one-time bustling marketplace of fruit and vegetable wholesalers in the Third Ward.

There is a section dedicated to how gardening hit a lull during mid-century postwar affluence and to efforts to revive urban farming after disinvestment of the ’70s. The exhibition includes materials from UW-Extension’s historic Shoots ’n Roots Urban Garden Program. Declining funding led to the demise of Shoots ’n Roots, which left a void that Will Allen would fill with Growing Power. Schalliol’s striking aerial photographs show visitors Milwaukee’s present urban farms.

While some people may see urban gardening as a passing fad or a hobby, “Growing Place” shows how urban gardening is actually a strategy for urban renewal and development. “I think this history suggests that urban farming can be so much more than what a lot of folks think it can be,” Carriere concludes. “Some of the aerial photographs make a point that urban farming helps remake a neighborhood, and they become sites where people feel safe.

It’s also suggesting just how multifaceted and rich this history is and form the way people think about it moving forward.”

Growing Place: A Visual Study of Urban Farming! runs through April 28 at the Grohmann Museum, 1000 N. Broadway. For more information, visit grohmannmuseum.org.

During Prohibition, he brewed beer and sold his illicit wares in North Milwaukee. According to Ben Barbera, curator of “How Dry I Am: Prohibition Milwaukee,” small-time operators like my grandfather were not uncommon in the City that Means Beer even when the frothy beverage was deemed an illegal substance.

Beer is a big—but by no means the only—part of the exhibition at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Among the displays is a moonshine still, operated in the 1920s by one Maryann Kwapiszewski. Included among the many text panels is a photograph of a boiler in a Milwaukee factory illegally modified for cooking up whiskey. A nearby panel shows a Cudahy house on a residential street reduced to splinters when a moonshine still exploded inside.

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution— which took effect in 1919 and remained in force until repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933—outlawed the recreational use of alcohol. “It’s a fascinating topic,” Barbera says. “The more research I did, the more I found good stories to tell.”

The beer barons saw it coming. Milwaukee breweries lobbied the U.S. Congress in an unsuccessful effort to distinguish hard liquor (bad) from beer (benign) and saloons (low dives) from beer gardens (family fun). According to Barbera, Augustus Busch paid off a prominent suffragette and Prohibition advocate to change colors and lobby against banning booze, and that curious detail casts light on the curious coalition supporting Prohibition. It included feminists fighting abuse against women (which they saw as rooted in drunken male behavior) and medical reformers who understood alcohol addiction as a health issue.

Prohibition was also supported by teetotaling Protestants who despised wine-drinking Roman Catholics and Jews, aligned with xenophobes fighting to make

America sober again in the face of Irish, Italian, Greek and other alcohol-loving immigrants “invading” the U.S. Opinions on Prohibition often ran along a ruralversus-urban divide in battle lines that look strangely familiar today.

Support for Prohibition in Milwaukee was probably as weak as anywhere in the U.S. “Local politicians and law enforcement had little interest in prosecuting violators,” Barbera says, “but the city never became lawless. Milwaukee didn’t see the rise of vicious gangs like Detroit or organized crime like Chicago.” Al Capone drank here—a text panel shows the gangster’s favorite Elm Grove roadhouse, which was also notable for its singing washroom attendant, Hattie McDaniel (later the first black woman to earn an Academy Award)—but Capone’s methods never took hold in Cream City. “Local organized crime was involved in transporting alcohol, but basically Milwaukee didn’t need to rely on criminal networks” for drinking, Barbera says. Thwarting Prohibition was almost a community wide enterprise.

Milwaukeeans could buy beer from neighborhood producers and drink at home. For a night on the town, speakeasys operating as private clubs were accessible by flashing a membership card at the door. Many taverns were reinvented as “soda shops—the soda could be stiffened by something stronger,” Barbera explains. Some German restaurants brewed beer in their basements. Karl Ratzsch, Downtown’s famed restauranteur, was busted for brewing but received only a slap on the wrist.

Milwaukee During the War Against Alcohol

Enforcing Prohibition was challenging. A handful of U.S. Treasury agents were responsible for the war against alcohol in Southeast Wisconsin. By law, the feds could demand support from local police, but rumors suggest that cops were happy to tip off covert saloon keepers with word of upcoming raids.

At least in the Upper Midwest and New England, Canada was the source for the good stuff: premium whiskey and rum and even European wine. One of the exhibit’s text panels includes photographs of an intrepid little U.S. Coast Guard boat on patrol against Canadian “rum runners” and one of their prize catches: a steamship loaded with liquor barrels seized off the coast of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee beer barons were prepared for Prohibition before it began. Schlitz switched to making chocolate bars, Pabst produced processed cheese, and Gettleman made snow plows. All the breweries marketed “Near Beer,” a beverage roughly equivalent to today’s legal CBD cannabis products. “The breweries diversified,” Barbera adds. “They went into real estate holdings, and the rents they collected from hotels, theaters and other properties kept them afloat. They rented out factory space in their breweries. They were ready for the day Prohibition was repealed and released thousands of barrels of beer almost immediately.”

Milwaukee’s small businesses, bottle- and barrelmakers as well as brewers, were hurt worst by Prohibition, but the giants lived on. “The city had nine breweries going into Prohibition; the seven biggest ones came back after it was all over,” Barbera says.

How Dry I Am: Prohibition Milwaukee runs through Saturday, May 4, at the Milwaukee County Historical Society, 910 N. Old World Third St. For more information, visit milwaukeehistory.net or call 414-273-8288.

THURSDAY, FEB. 21

Beirut w/ Helado Negro @ The Pabst Theater, 8 p.m.

With his expansive indie-pop project Beirut, singer-songwriter Zach Condon has documented his travels around the globe through a series of grandly composed albums that imagine a worldlier Neutral Milk Hotel. Each of his albums has retained the wandering spirit of his 2006 debut Gular Orkestar, including his newest, Gallipoli, released this month on 4AD. Named for the Italian town where its title track was written, it features some memorable Farfisa organ work from Condon, as well as his usually lavish, semi-orchestral accompaniments.

Tyrese w/ Ginuwine @ Miller High Life Theatre, 7:30 p.m.

Tyrese has been recording slow-jam-centric R&B since his 1998 debut, though these days he’s better known for his on-screen work, thanks to his reoccurring role as Roman Pearce, the comic relief in the Fast and Furious film franchise. He’ll share this concert with one of the great R&B hitmakers of the turn of the century, Ginuwine, whose bass-heavy “Pony” remains a party staple, even as his recent records have mined the slower vibe of softer hits like “Differences.” Along with fellow R&B singer Tank, Tyrese and Ginuwine have toured and recorded as part of the R&B supergroup TGT.

New Power Generation @ Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, 8 p.m.

Prince was known for mixing things up throughout his career, but there was one set of backing players he always came back to: The New Power Generation, his longest-serving live band. They backed the funk icon from 1990 to 2013 before rejoining him for his final studio album, 2015’s Hit n Run Phase Two. Prince served as their de facto frontman on many of their own records, and following his death in 2016 they reunited, touring in his memory.

Things That Go Ding! @ Skylight Music Theatre, 7:30 p.m.

A decade after it was first staged as a cabaret show in the Skylight Bar & Bistro, percussionist Michael “Ding” Lorenz’s hybrid concert/theater/comedy/variety show Things That Go Ding! makes its debut on Skylight’s Cabot Theatre stage. The performance showcases Lorenz’s enormous collection of vintage and modern percussion instruments, with the help of pianist Jamie Johns and Skylight Music Theatre’s Artistic Director Ray Jivoff.

Lorenz has been involved with Skylight since 1972, performing in more than 130 productions. (Runs through Sunday, March 3).

Travis Scott w/ Sheck Wes @ Fiserv Forum, 8 p.m.

In the span of just a year or so, Houston rapper Travis Scott signed deals with Epic Records, Kanye West’s GOOD Music and T.I.’s Grand Hustle label. It’s easy to see what they all heard in him. Few rappers have demonstrated a better grasp of the rap radio zeitgeist than Scott, whose pairs grippy hooks with moody, sometimes avant-garde production. That approach paid off handsomely on his 2016 sophomore album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, which featured collaborations with Young Thug, The Weeknd and Toro y Moi among others, and it paid off even more on this year’s Astroworld, a critical breakthrough that brought Scott even more Travis Scott respect. The website Uproxx crowned the album the best of 2018, claiming that it “single-handedly put to bed any notion of trap music not being a respectable music genre.” Scott cemented his star status with a controversial Super Bowl Halftime cameo, disappointing supporters of Colin Kaepernick by performing at an event many of rap’s A-listers had blacklisted.

The Hullmen w/ Man Random @ Circle A, 8 p.m.

The Milwaukee trio The Hullmen prefer their rock ’n’ roll straight forward, in the direct, confrontationally sleazy spirit of garage-punk predecessors like The Stooges and The Cramps. Their riffs drive skyward, even as their lo-fi production values keep the songs planted firmly in the mud. They’ll share this “Alive at 8” early show at Circle A with the Milwaukee pop-punk group Man Random, who will be celebrating the release of their new six-song EP Brighten Up. Recorded with Telethon’s Erik Atwell at that band’s home studio, it pairs hard emo riffs with the cheeky spirit of classic Lookout! Records acts like Screeching Weasel and early Green Day.

Shorewood Sayonara @ Shorewood Legion Hall, 3 p.m.

Even many neighbors probably missed the news earlier this year that Shorewood’s North Shore Legion Post #331 was up for sale. Unless you’re a regular or love fish frys, it’s an easy property to overlook. But for Milwaukee’s metal and hardcore scenes, the venue holds a special place: It was one of the few concert halls that regularly hosted all-ages shows. At this marathon concert, dubbed the Shorewood Sayonara, 11 bands whose members played shows at the Shorewood Legion hall will say farewell from 3 to 11:30 p.m. Highlights include Wings of Scarlet, Knaaves, Ara, Too Pure To Die, High Gallows, a reunion of Once For All and the first Forever is Forgotten show in 14 years. They’ve reunited with their original lineup and members are flying in from San Diego for the show.

SUNDAY, FEB. 24

2Cellos w/ Jon McLaughlin @ Fiserv Forum, 8 p.m.

As 2Cellos, the Croatian duo Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser treat the cello not only as a classical instrument, but also as a rock one—rearranging both classical standards and pop and rock staples. The group’s 2017 album Score includes memorable covers of songs from Schindler’s List, Chariots of Fire, The Godfather and, most dramatically, a medley of “Game of Thrones” music. It’s an act conceived for maximum virality, and 2Cellos have achieved that goal, clocking well more than 750 million views on YouTube.

86’d: Battle of the Bartenders @ Marcus Center, 7 p.m.

Milwaukee’s bartenders are constantly declaring themselves the best or most innovative, but this event will give some of them the chance to prove it once and for all. The inaugural “86’d: Battle of the Bartenders” is a “Chopped”-style championship that pits several of the city’s most notable bartenders against each other through multiple elimination rounds. Participants include: Alex Carroll, of The Outsider and This Is It!; Michelle Hoff from Doc’s Smokehouse; Paul Oemig of Phoenix Cocktail Club; and Kevan Yenter from Easy Tyger. Judges include restauranteur Joe Bartolotta.

John Maus w/ Apollo Vermouth @ Turner Hall Ballroom, 8 p.m.

Of all the performers recontextualizing the synth-based sounds of the 1970s and ’80s, few have achieved more acclaim that John Maus, whose intellectual posture sometimes overshadows the obvious humor in his music. Maus built his own modular synthesizers for his 2017 album Screen Memories, which he followed up with a more lighthearted companion piece last year called Addendum that makes the humor even more transparent. “Dumpster Baby” may be among the most transparently ridiculous songs he’s ever written. Credit Turner Hall Ballroom for drumming up some great local support for this show: Milwaukee ambient-pop songwriter/ composer Apollo Vermouth opens.

Mike Krol w/ Steve Adamyk Band and Platinum Boys @ The Back Room at Colectivo, 8 p.m.

BRIAN GUIDO

Milwaukee native Mike Krol prefers his garage-rock with a generous dose of quirk— it’s a safe bet that he probably listened to his share of Devo and The Thermals back in the day—but he’s also a savvy enough songwriter never to let whimsy stand in the way of a great riff. On his new, second album for Merge Records, the aptly titled Power Chords, the Los Angeles-based rocker shares some of his biggest, catchiest guitars yet.

(For the completist, in 2017 Merge also compiled Krol’s first two independent records into a compilation called Mike Krol is Never Dead.)

THEATRE

Strange Snow

“My favorite plays are gritty relationship plays, like this one, that offer a nice balance of humor and pathos,” says Milwaukee Chamber Theatre artistic director C. Michael Wright of Stephen Metcalfe’s Strange Snow. “There is great honesty and humanity in Metcalfe’s writing.” In this play, two Vietnam War veterans struggle to clear the emotional fallout lingering long after war’s end. Onetime war buddies Davey and Megs will be portrayed (respectively) by two MCT veterans, Marques Causey and Ken T. Williams; they will be joined by Krystal Drake as Davey’s sister, Martha.

Metcalfe is a playwright, screenwriter and novelist who was originally commissioned to write Strange Snow by the Manhattan Theater Club in 1982. Subsequently, the play was adapted into the film Jacknife, which starred Robert De Niro, Ed Harris and Kathy Baker. In both its live-on-stage and feature-film guises, all three characters have been portrayed by white actors. For this production, however, Wright is excited to center the story around an African American family in the late ’70s, a change which will add complexity to the dynamic between all three characters. (John Jahn) Feb. 22-March 17 at the Broadway Theatre Center’s Studio Theatre, 158 N. Broadway.

For tickets, call 414-291-7800 or visit milwaukeechambertheatre.com.

The Velocity of Autumn

In Tandem Theatre Company’s production of Eric Coble’s The Velocity of Autumn features Angela Iannone as Alexandra, a woman who finds herself in a showdown with her family over where she’ll spend her remaining years. After locking herself in her Brooklyn, N.Y., brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the entire block, her estranged son, Chris (Steven Marzolf ), climbs through the second-story window to act as the family’s unlikely mediator.

In Tandem describes Coble’s play as “a wickedly funny and wonderfully touching discovery of the fragility and ferocity of life.” Their design team includes Steve Barnes (sets), Jonathan Leubner (sound), Kathy Smith (costumes) and Holly Blomquist (lighting). Some adult language and situations make Velocity best suited for ages 16 and older. (John Jahn) Feb. 22-March 17 at the Tenth Street Theatre, 628 N. 10th St. For tickets, call 414-2711371 or visit intandemtheatre.org.

DANCE

Making/Unmaking

Led by founder and artistic director Debra Loewen, Wild Space Dance Company has been intriguing its audiences for some three decades now. Known for site-specific works and artistic collaborations, Wild Space takes its audiences on adventures through built and natural landscapes, visual art, history and the human condition through wry humor, clever choreography and, of course, dance. Art leaps from gallery walls in Making/Unmaking, their new performance piece, set against the backdrop of Milwaukee’s industrial past.

Color fields, photography, sculpture and sketches become gestural dance and bold movements, as dancers appear and disappear among the The Warehouse’s columns. Also, audience members will discover new perspectives as they switch locations—a playful take on the interaction of viewer and art. Loewen provides Making/ Unmaking’s choreography, and sound design is by C. Olivia Valenza. (John Jahn) Feb. 21-24 at The Warehouse, 1635 W. St. Paul Ave. For tickets, call 800-838-3006 or visit wildspacedance.org.

A&E::FILM

[ FILM CLIPS ] Fighting With My Family PG-13 This biographical story follows the career of a popular WWE wrestler. Born into a British family of small-time wrestlers, children Saraya (Florence Pugh) and Zak (Jack Lowden) are invited to audition for WWE coach Hutch (Vince Vaughn). Zak is rejected, but 13-year-old Saraya, renamed Paige, is assigned to backwater WWE territory. Her grueling workouts and training can’t prepare her for the WWE’s cutthroat realities, but she’s a hit with fans. A champion by 21, injuries forced Paige’s early retirement. “Office” co-creator (and this film’s director) Stephen Merchant wrote it as a comedy, but he recognizes that even a fixed fight is still a fight. (Lisa Miller)

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World PG Hiccup (voice of Jay Baruchel), grown to a young adult, dotes on his dragon-companion, Toothless, and he has an evolving friendship with Astrid (America Ferrera). Thought to be the last member of his “night fury” dragon species, Toothless stumbles upon an alabaster female night fury, and sparks fly. Trouble arrives with evil poacher Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham) and his quest to exterminate every night fury dragon. Hiccup and Viking pals attack Grimmel’s pirate ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor’

ship, planning to free the dragons from their cages. The film explores its characters’ potential love matches with grace and good humor. (L.M.)

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part PG Though it sometimes feels like an extended Lego commercial, this sequel sends up pop culture with wit and verve. In the Lego city Bricksburg, things are no longer “awesome” due to an extended siege from space invaders who wreck the city faster than it can be rebuilt. To defeat these interlopers, Emmet (Chris Pratt), Lucy (Elizabeth Banks), Batman (Will Arnett) and their friends need courage, creativity and master building skills. Their mission will take them to faraway worlds where pop music is used for brainwashing. Yep. Screen writers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller hit that nail on the head. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n Shoplifters

Father and children are a team making ends meet through theft. Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, Shoplifters is about a crime family—but not the sort usually featured in movies. In Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda’s appealing story, the family is a multi-generational clan whose members support themselves by shoplifting. But they also have hearts of gold—taking in an abused homeless 6-year-old girl whom they find shivering in the streets on a cold night.

n Washington Square

The tree-lined streets and tightly curtained drawing rooms of old Manhattan are the setting for Washington Square. Director Agnieszka Holland’s 1997 adaptation of the Henry James’ novel is an elegantly appointed period piece handled with a light touch. Awkward heiress Catherine (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and handsome beau Morris (Ben Chaplin) must navigate the shoals of her disapproving father (Albert Finney) and social codes that will remind viewers of Jane Austen. Maggie Smith is also part of the A-list cast.

n The Wandering Muse

Music travels across all boundaries—and so have Jews. In his documentary The Wandering Muse, Tamas Wormser crosses borders easily, flitting from continent to continent and experience to experience. Wormser looks and listens to a Brooklyn singer who builds contemporary music from her Orthodox roots and others who have rediscovered the Yiddish-American songbook or the Near Eastern modes of the Sephardim. Yes, there is klezmer—along with driving rock mutated under the influence of ancient melodies.

n Kotch

‘BlacKkKlansman’

Walter Matthau built a career playing grouchy middle-aged men. In Kotch (1971), he stepped up to play a lovably irascible old man grappling with the realization that life had left him behind. He’s long on memories that no one wants to hear and lives uncomfortably with his son and a daughter-in-law who wants him out. Next step, Sunnydale Retirement Village? Jack Lemmon directed this endearing comedy about an age group still routinely ignored by Hollywood.

CRITIC CHRIS JONES SPEAKS WITH MILWAUKEE REP’S MARK CLEMENTS ::BY JENNI HERRICK

;

ince time immemorial, art has existed as a way to express highly personal human stories that represent much larger social and political forces. Broadway plays and musicals have served as important catalysts in social commentary and have long existed as a way for audience-goers to understand opposing points of view.

Over the past 25 years, the theater has reasserted its role as a progressive cultural influence to advocate for change in American society on some of today’s hottest issues of concern. Rise Up! Broadway and American Society from ‘Angels in America’ to ‘Hamilton’ is a new book by longtime Chicago theater critic Chris Jones that chronologically details some of the theater productions that both challenged and reimagined American society on issues ranging from AIDS to the founding of our country.

This lively book opens in the early 1990s by casting a spotlight on plays like Angels in America and Rent, groundbreaking performances that explored the AIDS crisis and perfected the artistry of evoking empathy for those who were most alienated. As the 21st century dawned, it was the theater community that harnessed the stage to demonstrate our collective feelings of American resolve and courage following the 9/11 terrorist attacks; and most recently, with the cast of the highest grossing Broadway show of all time addressing the newly elected U.S. vice president in a plea for tolerance and humanity.

In Rise Up! Jones demonstrates how the theatrical arts have reasserted themselves into important political and social conversations by using modern creativity and artistic innovation. He will appear at Boswell Book Co. in conversation with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s artistic director Mark Clements at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 25.

State Republicans Erase Black History for Black History Month ::BY PAUL MASTERSON

When voted on, a revised ver4 sion passed and made breaking national news. Like the Fox4 conn debacle, lame-duck legislation that included voter suppression and other attempts to undermine the newly elected Evers administration, it was the machinations of Republican legislators that made yet another embar4 rassing headline. It seems they purged the Resolution’s recognition of black civil rights activist, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke said Kaepernick was excluded “for obvious reasons.”

Yes, the reasons are indeed obvious. Kaepernick, in exercise of his consti4 tutional right as an American, confronted the white supremacist Republican agenda and they’re not happy about it. And, having gerrymandered their way into power, they obviously control the narrative. Apparently, they also claim the right to approve whom Wisconsin’s African American community may celebrate as its heroes. The Resolution’s other two dozen names are certainly worthy of honor, but they are benign by comparison. If their activism ever rose to that of Kaepernick’s, it has long expired as a perceived encroach4 ment upon our persisting systematic racism. Among them are George Edwin Taylor—who, in 1904 as a candidate of the National Negro Liberty Party, was the first African American to run for president—and The Oshkosh 94, a group of African American students. In 1968, they protested against Wiscon4 sin State University-Oshkosh administrators for equal rights. Otherwise, the list includes various “firsts’ for black politicians, business leaders, educators and the like. It is obvious that, by excluding the “uppity” Kaepernick and de4 ciding which black candidates they felt acceptable, Republicans effectively diminished the accomplishments of the others.

What is also obvious, however, is the reminder of the regime’s deliberate misrepresentation of Kaepernick’s protest. It casts him as an enemy of the state who, by kneeling during the National Anthem, disrespects the flag and, by extension, our armed forces. That strategy distracts from, and seeks to invalidate the protest’s true purpose, namely the condemnation of America’s endemic institutionalized racism.

It is obvious, too, that the Kaepernick effect has had its impact. For certain elected officials, that is both unacceptable and frightening as it threatens their power. In the past, white mob lynchings of innocent blacks and their contemporary 21st century manifestations could be largely ignored. But, thanks to Kaepernick’s high NFL profile and the ability of anyone with a cell phone to instantly document and disseminate information, blatant state vio4 lence against minorities has been exposed. Those factors have empowered adherents of social justice as well as forced the prosecution (albeit some4 times begrudgingly or reluctant) of those who, in the past, would have other4 wise escaped any scrutiny at all, much less legal consequences.

When I wrote about Colin Kaepernick in this column, in September 2017, I stressed the LGBTQ community’s common struggle with that of the blacklisted quarterback. Republicans erasing his name from the State Leg4 islature’s Black History Month Resolution serves as a jarring reminder of their desire to dismantle our social progress. Never forget, the White House scrubbed any mention of “LGBTQ” from its website even before the 2016 presidential inauguration ended.

“La movida si me gusta La movida si me va Esta cosa es la locura Viva la felicidad” (From “La Movida”

by Verónica Castro) Alfonso Muñoz Calixto, known in the LGBTQ and Milwaukee’s South Side communities as La Movida, had a sudden and tragic death on Thursday, Jan. 31, that affected the entire Latinx and LGBTQ communities of Milwaukee. We now learned that his death was ruled accidental. La Movida, 46, was the victim of combined drug intoxication. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the death resulted from “acute mixed drug intoxication (cocaine, heroin and ethanol). Manner of death: accident.”

About La Movida: He is the loving son of Alfonso Muñoz Balenzo and Carolina Calixto Peralta and the pride of Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. He moved to Milwaukee 28 years ago, just months after his father died. La Movida was an original dreamer in the way that the American dream was defined. La Movida fulfilled his dreams of becoming a hairstylist and was an affectionate, generous human being who would give his life for family and the close friends he called “sisters,” including the late Julian, Baby, La Rene, La Richie, La Drupi, Connie, Rosa, Lucio, Luis and so many more.

Ana, his youngest sister, said: “He was a happy person, always doing for others, giving advice, making us laugh and smile; he had you feel loved and welcomed. It wouldn’t matter what situation you were in or your background, Movida welcomed everyone. He did not care what others thought of him; he was very proud to be an out gay person.”

Sometimes, La Movida dressed as a man and he was handsome and sharp; sometimes La Movida dressed as a woman, and she was beautiful and mysterious. Either way, La Movida did it in a way that people envied his/her courage, power and strength at a time where gay people were not as out, and people were not as accepting.

‘We Learned to Fight for Ourselves’ According to La Movida’s friend, Baby, “Movida taught me how to embrace my sexuality. We were crazy and adventurous, and we learned to fight for ourselves to protect ourselves, because a lot of people had it in their heads that we didn’t cry, hurt or bleed the same way as they

did, but we do. Dressing as a man or as a woman was OK, Movida would say; the message was that a person can be both. There is no need to hide it; instead, embrace it and enjoy it.”

Rene Ramirez met Movida through Julian in the late ’80s and said, through tears, “I was on my way to work when I heard the news that La Movida had died, and I just couldn’t believe it. I loved Movida with all my heart—she was my sister, we were inseparable, we were ready for anything, we’d go anywhere and everywhere she was amazing. Movida was la más atrevida of everyone. My life isn’t going to be the same— Movida brought us all together.”

Ricardo “La Richie” Perez said, “When I first saw it on Facebook, people saying she had passed away, I was in suspension of disbelief. I couldn’t believe it, because it wasn’t the first time people claimed she was dead on Facebook. But when it was confirmed, I felt vertigo; I couldn’t believe it; my heart was broken into a million pieces. We could never underestimate La Movida, she was a genius. A true gay legend is gone.”

According to everyone I spoke with—including Terry Byrd, owner of Paul Mitchell, where La Movida was recognized as an award-winning hair stylist for 20 years—she opened the doors for the next generation of young, up and coming Latinos who were coming out. La Movida’s styling career began in Acapulco and then later in Milwaukee at Cuteria, where her creativity and talent became widely known. La Movida did fashion and drag shows, quinceañeras, weddings and special events for the who’s-who. Not only did La Movida design hair, but she also styled the outfits, the look and the makeup, as well as the scenery for a show.

La Movida will always be remembered for happiness, joy, creativity, beauty and bringing together our Latino sisters and brothers, as well as the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.

“La movida se va conmigo Y bailando por la ciudad Voy juntando un montón de amigos Y con todos me muevo igual Y mañana al caer la noche Cada cual con su copañía Para estar juntos nuevamente Sentiremos llegar el día La movida si me gusta La movida si me va Esta cosa es la locura Viva la felicidad La movida me reencanta La movida aqui está.”

MT Twins

MT Twins Want You to Feel Their Pain ::BY EVAN RYTLEWSKI

rothers Donno and Dexxx have come to terms with fans calling them the MT Twins, even though the duo’s official name is just MT. Since MT already stands for Marshall Twins, calling them MT Twins is redundant, Donno maintains, but the brothers quickly realized nobody else shared their semantic concerns. “At first when people would call us MT Twins we were always adamant, ‘No, we’re MT!’” Donno says. “But now it’s like, if that’s what they want to call us, then fine.” So long as people are listening, he says, they can call the duo whatever they want.

28 | F E B R U A R Y 2 1 , 2 0 1 9

And, to be sure, they’re listening. In the three years since the brothers started rapping seriously to pass the time after their varsity basketball season at Marshall High School ended—Marshall Twins was the nickname they picked up on the court—the 20-year-olds have climbed their way toward the top of Milwaukee rap’s A-list, doing numbers that make even some of the scene’s biggest names jealous. MT’s biggest song, “All Stars,” has nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube alone, on top of more than a half million streams on SoundCloud. Their single “Stay Down” has also passed the million stream mark, and they’ve got too many others to list in the half-million range.

Credit their adaptability for that success. Nearly every Milwaukee rap act making real waves right now is doing so on the back of the city’s highly regional sound, a sort of localized spin on the distinctive slap of Detroit rap. MT saw the opportunity to build on that. “We started to figure out that Milwaukee only likes Milwaukee-style music,” Donno says.

“So we tried to adapt. We wanted to create a different style of slap in our music, our own style.”

While Donno doesn’t knock any artists in particular—MT have shared tracks with most of the North Side’s big names—he says that Milwaukee rappers are one dimensional. “They got one focus: They like slap music,” he says. “Nobody wants to switch it up. They don’t want to step out of their comfort zone. But me and my brother, every time we make a song we step out of our comfort zone. We’re always trying to change things up. Even now, by the time you see us in the summer, we might look completely different again, because we want to stay relevant and stay current. So by the time you think you’re used to us, we’ve switched it.”

That’s meant availing themselves to outside sounds, including pop ones out of step with the harder street styles of their peers. It suits them. Dexxx and Donno sing more than most Milwaukee rappers, and they’re better at it. They also dance, and they do that well, too, which certainly accounts for some of those YouTube views.

But the duo’s more recent whims have taken them away from the youthful bubblegum of their popular early singles like “Tell Me,”“First Love” and “Bae Bae” and toward more reflective and personal material. On their latest album Blue Hearts, they rap about shared joy and shared trauma, documenting the forces that cause kids like them to grow up too fast through the prism of their brotherly bond. On track after track, they highlight how much they’ve been through together, communicating in the shared language that only the closest siblings understand.

“Nobody knows us better than ourselves,” Donno says. “Nobody knows Dexxx more than I know Dexxx. And nobody knows me like Dexxx knows me. So we like to talk about how we came up, and the struggles that we had and the milestones that we’ve accomplished, as well as the problems we go through with our girls. We’ve got a lot of relationship problems.”

Regardless of what they’re rapping about, they sell the emotions. “We want people to feel our struggle,” Donno says. “We want people to feel our pain. If you don’t feel how we feel when we’re doing our music, then we’re not doing our jobs. Our relationship problems, we want them to feel like they’re your relationship problems. Us growing up? We want you to feel like it was you growing up doing that. We want you to be in our minds.”

MT are often compared to Rae Sremmurd, for obvious reasons, but those comparisons have grown less apt as the duo’s songwriting has turned heavier and more bittersweet with age. Even Swae Lee has never sang a song as pervasively sad as “Too Many Nights,” a nostalgic account of youth cut short from Blue Hearts. “You hear the pain in my mama’s voice/Ain’t have no heroes so we villains, we didn’t have a fucking choice,” they rap wistfully, on a song that stirs empathy without asking for it. You don’t have to relate to the sentiment to be moved by it.

“I feel like even Rae Sremmurd doesn’t have the bond we do,” Donno says. “Their music is great, but as far as building a bond and telling stories, I feel like we have that one up on them. I don’t think nobody can really explain a story better than twins.”

MT’s Blue Hearts is streaming now on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming platforms. MT’s next EP, Voice of the Youth, is set for release in March.

::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN

iolinist Eric Segnitz has been with Present Music since its early days.

When the ensemble’s founder and artistic director, Kevin Stalheim, retires at the end of this season, Segnitz will assume greater responsibility as co-artistic director. “I met Kevin outside of a movie theater, the Downer Theatre,” he recalls. The movie?

Appropriately enough, it was Local Hero (1983).

Present Music hasn’t simply been an ensemble based here for the convenience of its members.

“Milwaukee had as much to do with Present Music’s direction as Kevin did,” Segnitz says. “He molded the group to this city. We’ve got a strong thread of community ties.” Would Milwaukee’s globally regarded (oxymoron alert!) “contemporary classical music ensemble” have sounded different had it played from Cleveland or Omaha? “Absolutely,” Segnitz insists.

Starting in fall, Segnitz will co-direct Present Music alongside New York conductor David Bloom. The

young New Yorker is familiar to Present Music’s audience after participating in a handful of the group’s Milwaukee concerts in recent years. “He’s risen to prominence in the competitive jungle of conducting,” Segnitz says. “He’s got the skills and the smarts.

Kevin has been preparing [for his retirement] in subtle ways, bringing people in [who might fill his role]. Everybody in Present Music likes David—the new arrangement has unanimous support from the musicians.”

Meanwhile, Present Music’s audience will get a glimpse of possible futures at the group’s upcoming performance, programmed not by Stalheim but by Segnitz. “In the New Chamber” will consist of works by 12 female and non-binary composers. Among them are a pair of names familiar well beyond the usual precincts of Present Music’s fun yet challenging repertoire. Laurie Anderson’s “National Anthem of America” and Yoko Ono’s “Greenfield Morning I Pushed an Empty Baby Carriage All Over the City” will be performed alongside works such as Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s prepared piano piece “Scape” and Present a world premiere of Sonia PossetMusic ti’s new arrangement for the serrated intricacies of “Bullanguera.”

Jan Serr Present Music has long made Studio a point of programming music Friday, by living women composers and Feb. 22, “In the New Chamber” continues 7:30 p.m. on Stalheim’s trajectory. “In recent years, Kevin considered this a pressing issue,” Segnitz explains.

“Programming work by women has not been a high priority in many other realms,” he adds, especially symphony orchestras. In keeping with Stalheim’s aesthetic, “In the New Chamber” will include sonic variety as well as continuity.

“There is quite an array of talent on this next concert,” Segnitz says. And in the future? “There is still much work to do, encouraging young women to start writing music, gain access to opportunities and actually see it demonstrated in concert form. We can provide a platform for these composers to be heard.”

Present Music will perform “In the New Chamber” at a catered RSVP dinner concert on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m., and at a general public concert Friday, Feb. 22, at 7:30 p.m. at Jan Serr Studio, 2155 N. Prospect Ave.

The Riverwest Aces “Aces and Eights”

Wild Bill Hickock’s last poker game is the opening image on “Aces and Eights.” The CD single by Milwaukee’s Riverwest Aces has almost as many verses as a Bob Dylan song and tells tales of dread across two centuries.

An Americana gauze is stretched across the framework of a four-square beat. The spare arrangement includes sadly sawed violin and faintly foreboding saxophone, enhancing the dirge-like impression of a soundtrack to a half-remembered nightmare. The tone will remind longtime local music fans of latter-day work by the late poet-player Martin Jack Rosenblum.

Ehud Asherie Trio Wild Man Blues

(CAPRI RECORDS) Born in Israel and now living in New York, pianist Ehud Asherie learned to play jazz by watching and listening in the city’s clubs. His buoyant melodicism belongs to an earlier time and his repertoire stays on the far side of 1940. Asherie’s latest album begins with the title track’s salute to Louis Armstrong and chases Charlie Parker on a couple of numbers. He also gives the Gershwins a hearing on “Oh, Lady Be Good.” Asherie’s quiet virtuosity fits easily into small club settings. The music heard on Wild Man Blues is everyone’s idea of a sophisticated night on the town—if the town is Manhattan in an earlier age.

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cartographers of Old Europe sometimes drew pictures of strange beasts in the uncharted regions of their maps. These were warnings to travelers that such areas might harbor unknown risks, like dangerous animals. One famous map of the Indian Ocean shows an image of a sea monster lurking, as if waiting to prey on sailors traveling through its territory. If I were going to create a map of the frontier you’re now headed for, Pisces, I would fill it with mythic beasts of a more benevolent variety, like magic unicorns, good fairies, and wise centaurs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In December 1915, the California city of San Diego was suffering from a draught. City officials hired a professional “moisture accelerator” named Charles Hatfield, who promised to make it rain. Soon Hatfield was shooting explosions of a secret blend of chemicals into the sky from the top of a tower. The results were quick. A deluge began in early January of 1916 and persisted for weeks. Thirty inches of rain fell, causing floods that damaged the local infrastructure. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned, Aries: When you ask for what you want and need, specify exactly how much you want and need. Don’t make an open-ended request that could bring you too much of a good thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges are brothers born to parents who were also actors. When they were growing up, they already had aspirations to follow in their mom’s and dad’s footsteps. From an early age, they summoned a resourceful approach to attracting an audience. Now and then they would start a pretend fight in a store’s parking lot. When a big enough crowd had gathered to observe their shenanigans, they would suddenly break off from their faux struggle, grab their guitars from their truck and begin playing music. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll be equally ingenious as you brainstorm about ways to expand your outreach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to Edward Barnard’s book New York City Trees, a quarter of the city is shaded by its 5.2 million trees. In other words, one of the most densely populated, frantically active places on the planet has a rich collection of oxygen-generating greenery. There’s even a virgin forest at the upper tip of Manhattan, as well as five botanical gardens and the 843-acre Central Park. Let’s use all this bounty-amidst-the-bustle as a symbol of what you should strive to foster in the coming weeks: refreshing lushness and grace interspersed throughout your busy, hustling rhythm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a poet myself, I regard good poetry as highly useful. It can nudge us free of our habitual thoughts and provoke us to see the world in ways we’ve never imagined. On the other hand, it’s not useful in the same way that food and water and sleep are. Most people don’t get sick if they are deprived of poetry.

But I want to bring your attention to a poem that is serving a very practical purpose in addition to its inspirational function. Simon Armitage’s poem “In Praise of Air” is on display in an outdoor plaza at the University of Sheffield. The material it’s printed on is designed to literally remove a potent pollutant from the atmosphere. And what does this have to do with you? I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have an extra capacity to generate blessings that are like Armitage’s poem: useful in both practical and inspirational ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1979, psychologist Dorothy Tennov published her book Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. She defined her newly coined word “limerence” as a state of adoration that may generate intense, euphoric and obsessive feelings for another person. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Leos are most likely to be visited by this disposition throughout 2019. And you’ll be especially prone to it in the coming weeks.

Will that be a good thing or a disruptive thing? It all depends on how determined you are to regard it as a blessing, have fun with it and enjoy it regardless of whether or not your feelings are reciprocated. I advise you to enjoy the hell out of it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Based in Switzerland, Nestlé is the largest food company in

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

the world. Yet it pays just $200 per year to the state of Michigan for the right to suck up 400 million gallons of groundwater, which it bottles and sells at a profit. I nominate this vignette to be your cautionary tale in the coming weeks. How? 1. Make damn sure you are being fairly compensated for your offerings. 2. Don’t allow huge, impersonal forces to exploit your resources. 3. Be tough and discerning, not lax and naïve, as you negotiate deals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sixteenth-century Italian artist Daniele da Volterra wasn’t very famous for his own painting and sculpture.

The work for which we remember him today is the alterations he made to Michelangelo’s giant fresco The Last Judgment, which spreads across an entire wall in the Sistine Chapel. After Michelangelo died, the Catholic Church hired Daniele to “fix” the scandalous aspects of the people depicted in the master’s work. He painted clothes and leaves over the originals’ genitalia and derrieres. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that we make Daniele your anti-role model for the coming weeks. Don’t be like him. Don’t engage in cover-ups, censorship, or camouflage. Instead, specialize in the opposite: revelations, unmaskings and expositions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What is the quality of your access to life’s basic necessities? How well do you fulfill your need for good food and drink, effective exercise, deep sleep, thorough relaxation, mental stimulation, soulful intimacy, a sense of meaningfulness, nourishing beauty and rich feelings? I bring these questions to your attention, Scorpio, because the rest of 2019 will be an excellent time for you to fine-tune and expand your relationships with these fundamental blessings. And now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Michael Jackson’s 1982 song “Beat It” climbed to number three on the record-sales charts in Australia. On the other hand, “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1984 parody of Jackson’s tune, “Eat It,” reached number one on the same charts. Let’s use this twist as a metaphor that’s a good fit for your life in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may find that a stand-in or substitute or imitation will be more successful than the original.

And that will be auspicious!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide: a tall and narrow tower.

Near the top is a round restaurant that makes one complete rotation every 47 minutes. Although this part of the structure weighs 125 tons, for many years its motion was propelled by a mere 1.5 horsepower motor. I think you will have a comparable power at your disposal in the coming weeks: an ability to cause major movement with a compact output of energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1941, the Ford automobile company created a “biological car.” Among its components were “bioplastics” composed of soybeans, hemp, flax, wood pulp and cotton. It weighed a thousand pounds less than a comparable car made of metal. This breakthrough possibility never fully matured, however. It was overshadowed by newly abundant plastics made from petrochemicals. I suspect that you Aquarians are at a phase with a resemblance to the biological car.

Your good idea is promising but unripe. I hope you’ll spend the coming weeks devoting practical energy to developing it. (P.S. There’s a difference between you and your personal equivalent of the biological car: little competition.)
