My Résumé Thank you, Mr. Allen, for helping me understand how to think like a consultant. For any political candidates looking for a spin doctor, consider this my résumé (“Allen Wrench,” The Fly, May 1).
Outside of being a criminal and having a degenerate personality, George Shirakawa Jr. was a conscientious and progressive elected leader. Other than when he has something to hide, Chuck Reed is a committed proponent of transparent government. Except when he’s cashing his disability check each month, Pete Constant is opposed to defined benefit pension programs. When able to break away from her obsession with all things Vietnamese, Madison Nguyen is an unbiased servant of people of all races. Despite her efforts to help a criminal keep his Board of Supervisor’s seat, Cindy Chavez believes honesty and accountability are must-haves for anyone sitting on the board. Not counting the hours he spent
leashed and on all fours in the city manager’s office, former police chief Chris Moore was a fiercely independent leader. If you don’t include news that contradicts its political platform, the San Jose Mercury is determined to keep the public informed. When not caught in the headlights, Nora Campos consistently evidences a measurable degree of brain activity. Besides standing mute to the horrific environmental damage caused by illegal aliens and the homeless, the Sierra Club is an aggressive and vocal defender of the environment. How’d I do? FRUSTRATED FINFAN s J8E AFJ<
Pols Amuck The idea of these so called “progressives-and-conservativesgone-wild” is giving me a bad mental picture of Chuck Reed flashing people. R. GÓMEZ, SAN JOSE s J8E AFJ<

Published via NetMinds, a service empowering authors to publish smarter by building invested, quality teams around their books, Finding the Next Steve Jobs is a glorious, unapologetic paean to creativity and eccentricity in the workplace. It posits
creativity as the most important factor in the future success of every business. On Wednesday, May 15, Bushnell will invade the ZERO1 compound in San Jose to present his book and instruct companies on how to find, nurture and deal with creative types, in order to ensure their longevity in the ever-accelerating 21st-century business landscape. ZERO1 makes a perfect partner, because it advocates a similar strategy. That is, if businesses are to keep up with the rapidly changing times, radical experimentation and risk-taking are necessary, and since artists are natural-born radical experimenters, their ingredients need to be incorporated into the company stew. Bushnell, who founded Atari and
Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Tim Time Theatre right here in suburbia decades ago, pretty much defined what it now means to be an eccentric Silicon Valley visionary. Like any creative genius, he didn’t cook up a Michelin three-star meal every single time and he didn’t hit a home run every at-bat, but he has first-hand knowledge about what made Steve Jobs unique, from when Jobs was a unwashed hippie working for Bushnell at Atari. Thankfully, Finding the Next Steve Jobs does not insult the reader with belligerent dogma on how to discover unique creative talent. According to Bushnell, rules tend to ruin everything, so, instead, the book presents a series of pongs. Unlike rules, which foolishly assume they can work for everybody everywhere, pongs apply only where the advice is helpful or needed. Instead of chapters, the book contains 53 pongs—hints toward finding and cultivating creative weirdos. “Creativity is every company’s first driver,” writes Bushnell in pong #0, the introduction. “It’s where everything starts, where energy
and forward motion originate. Without that first charge of creativity, nothing else can take place.” And then: “Openness to creativity must be present at all levels of your company. Creativity doesn’t reside in one person, or even a few people. It must be planted throughout the entire company, or it won’t bloom anywhere.” From there, the pongs illuminate several ideas, many of which will be second nature if you’re already a polarized, right-side-of-the-brain creative type. But since most businesses are structured around rigid, hierarchical, top-down bureaucracies inimical to creativity, those businesses, if they really want the next Steve Jobs, will find the book invaluable. It’s completely unlike the pedantic business-guru dreck one usually encounters. Want to find unique creative talent? Well, Bushnell says, go to Burning Man, which he calls “an employment center disguised as a festival.” Hang out at the swimming pool after the trade shows. Seek out the lurkers. When interviewing people, give them problems to solve, find out how curious they are and what books they read. Seek out the obnoxious, the crazy, the smelly and the isolated. Never hire anyone just on his or her credentials alone. In other words, avoid the clones, the poseurs and the folks who flaunt their résumés and shine during interviews, but who can’t actually do anything. At the least, test them on their curiosity and resourcefulness. Give them weird shit to figure out. “I know of no creative who is not hypercurious,” writes Bushnell. “Curious people always have a range of interests and a broad base of knowledge in many disparate fields and subjects. This trait has nothing to do with college. It has everything to do with innate intelligence.” Most of all, it isn’t enough to find the next Steve Jobses and hire him, says Bushnell. You have to create a situation in which they can flourish, and then your company will too.

Some examples fromsothe tidy menu of 25each items include pork belly Slightly different is the Terrone ($15), which combines tomatoes, mozzarella and spicy sausage. The sausage, which wasn’t especially spicy, had a subtle flavor that accented the tomato and cheese rather than overpowering it. Many of these ingredients—the tomatoes, cheese, flour—are imported from Italy, another qualification required to obtain the certificate. Terrone also offers pastas, entrees, salads and small plates. The pastas are all fresh and handmade in the kitchen. I tried the Scialatielli ($17), a thick, rich pasta cooked with eggs and served with porcini mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, rosemary and olive oil. Like the pizza, it was very simple and didn’t leave me with a heavy feeling. For salad, I chose the grilled romaine ($10). It consisted of two long heads of grilled romaine with avocado and tomatoes, and a very tasty lemon dressing.—Aaron Carnes TERRONE PIZZERIA 448 S. California Ave., Palo Alto; 650.847.7577

WITH MALLETS AFORETHOUGHT A bucket of crab claws calls for the right tools at Blue Water in Willow Glen.

There will be wine and cocktails, but THE FIRST 10 will minutes, stop staring at the primary focus be onI couldn’t high-quality beers. Steins theOR shark.

On my visit, it was brought to life with each new arrival, native Colby Reade. whipping around laboriously and baring a full set of teeth.

The waitress came over with a bottle of Absolut and a shucked seat, 8,000-square-foot domed interior room and a 4,000-square-foot Chesapeake oyster. She filled the shell until vodka floated over the bivalve’s outdoor patio. delicate thepositive shooterenergy, back, the andcan’t oyster had barely Ted,body. withAs hisI knocked contagious saysvodka that he wait begun their dance of sting and cool when the server took the empty shell and for folks to check out the “in-your-face, custom-made walk-in cooler” poured me another shot. next to the main bar.

There was a moment of sheer happiness, followed by a question: “How shall we begin?” It was then that the waitress brought over a bowl of drawn butter. In the end, our table looked like a battle scene: paper tablecloth drenched, crab crackers strewn about, piles of conquered shells. A waitress made a passing comment about how we had finally made a dent in our meal. After tearing open the moist towelettes, I looked at the menu and realized I wanted to try other things—the cioppino, the soft-shelled-crab sandwich. After just one meal, I trust Guynes’ gustatory acumen. There is both confidence and intuition in the cooking, and when all is said and done, natural chemistry is the best ingredient in the kitchen. —Kristine Bautista BLUE WATER SEAFOOD & CRAB 860 Willow St., San Jose; 408.289.8879

SWEET HAYAH
*wed
THE PAUL COLLINS BEAT Blank Club, San Jose Wed – 9pm; $8
It was Pete Townshend, in 1967, who first used “power-pop” to describe his own band’s focus on heavy riffs and pop hooks. But it wasn’t until the late ’70s that the term really described a genre. The big names were Cheap Trick, the Romantics and the Knack—just lurking behind them were the Beat, whose debut album was a power-pop classic though not a commercial success. They changed their name later to The Paul Collins Beat to avoid confusion with the British ska band the Beat and continued to write many amazing power-pop songs but still never garnered much in the way of sales. Even now, in
the 2000s, their albums rock with the same driving intensity—and Collins’ penchant for ear worms seems unending. (AC)
*fri
SWEET HAYAH Sunnyvale Art Gallery Fri – 7pm; $5 To understand locals Sweet HayaH, it helps to see them play both an electric and an acoustic set. Their electric sets really showcase their rock and soul sides; they play hard and bring a lot of energy and groove to the material. But it’s their acoustic shows—which is what they will present this Friday—that demonstrate their subtler World Beat vibes and vulnerability. Maybe the shift in perspective is due to the fact that drummer Josh
Gardner switches to a cajón, which is a Peruvian box-shaped hand percussion instrument; also, when they unplug, their eclectic chord progressions are more apparent, and you can really hear the tenderness in Nehal Abuelata’s classical soul voice. (AC)
LOCKSMITH
conscious lyrics, making a point to not glorify violence and drug use in their art. As a solo artist, Locksmith has gotten progressively more personal. On his new album, The Green Box, he raps about his father, growing up in Richmond and painful romantic relationships. This is real, authentic underground hip-hop. (AC)

Richmond rapper Locksmith is one of hip-hop’s most underrated lyricists. He spins clever wordplay with honest and emotional verses—and does so with major bravado. He first gained attention as a battle rapper, and his gift with language won him a second place finish on MTV’s freestyle battle competition in 2003. But at the same time, he and his partner Left, with their rap duo the Frontline, were spitting some powerful socially
Who was that Masked Man? The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux has cast a spell on audiences for more than a century now. Notable film adaptations— from Lon Chaney and Claude Rains to Brian De Palma (retitled Phantom of the Paradise with pint-sized Paul Williams at the organ). The most enduring incarnation remains the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which has logged more than 10,000
performances on Broadway. This Children’s Musical Theater San Jose Main Stage production shows off the talents of its young aspiring performers of high school and college age. (AR)

Streetlight Records, San Jose Sat – 4pm; free Mauro have really distilled soul and R&B to their most basic elements. Ty Mauro plays the acoustic guitar, and both Ty and his sister, Ashley, sing. And that’s it. Their soulful melodies and spot-on harmonies shine in a magical way. They’ve gotten down to the bone, to the marrow of soul music with literally no bells and whistles. Part of me wants them to never add another instrument to their act, but the other part of me is curious what they could do with a full band. (AC)

rapper to name himself Troublez. He has seen his fair share of hard times and lets it all out in his songs. His easy, Biggie Smalls-style flow and laid-back West Coast beats are underscored with an inherent sadness. He pours his heart out, telling you his life story and not covering it up with any hip-hop fakery. There may be flaws in his beats and rhymes at times, but being perfect isn’t really the point; it’s the emotions behind the songs, which are hidden under a very thin veil of swagger. (AC)

Visionary THE DICKERING over the proper term for artists who don’t fit neatly into the critical matrix sometimes obscures or prejudges unique creators. Whether they are “outsiders,” “naïve artists,” “primitives,” mental patients or just plain ornery doesn’t really matter—the art that confronts the viewers is the only important thing. SJSU’s Thompson Gallery is currently displaying a generous selection of oil paintings by Jon Serl, a wholly self-taught artist on a major scale who came to his art relatively late in life and lived in semi-isolation in Lake Elsinore, Calif., until his death, at age 98, in 1993. Serl’s oil paintings (mostly on board rather than canvas) often depict amorphous figures of both people and animals with free-flowing, almost liquefied outlines. The large Others Someplace Else (late 1980s) conjures up a lost world in which three ochre and yellow imaginary dinosaurs cavort in front of a mountain range beneath of swirling blue and white sky that would do a well-schooled Impressionist proud.
Jon Serl: The Mutability of Being Runs through May 17 Natalie and James Thompson Gallery, Art Building, SJSU
Some pieces pass into the realm of the nightmare. Between Two Worlds (1982) inflicts a plague of floating, crawling Boschean apparitions on a tortured figure in a blue smock lurching under the weight of his visions, his arms morphing into large curving claws. At times, Serl seems to be illustrating a book of private fables or parables unknown to any library. Purple Cow (1989) offers a frieze of happy folk alongside the large titular beast. They celebrate the animal’s fecundity with the buoyant joy of Chagall characters. In Untitled (Bridge Crossing) (undated), a man in a long red coat advances with great confidence across a rickety wooden scaffolding, carrying a ladder and accompanied by assistants front and back. One of his lackeys holds an official banner aloft—indicating perhaps that this is a noble man headed for a fall of some kind. The scene is nicely complemented by a tiny figure below holding an umbrella and matching the “great man” stride for stride. Serl’s assured technique shows to great effect in Chili Peppers (circa 1990). A tapestry covered with abstract shapes traced in white against a deep red background occupies the center. On the left, ecclesiastical figures all in red march in a line. To the right, three more figures kneel to pray—facing away from the viewer, their red bodies and mitres start to merge until they look like the chili peppers of the title. The composition is nicely balanced but not static; the colors are vivid and varied; and the transformation of holy men into earthy vegetables is visually witty. If Jon Serl was self-taught, he had a great teacher. The exhibit is accompanied by an excellent catalog titled Jon Serl: The Mutability of Being, by Randall Morris, Cara Zimmerman and the Thompson Gallery’s director, Jo Farb Hernández.—Michael S. Gant

I never saw Father Yod, the L.A. guru who coined this saying; however, I did, on a Monday evening, take a breathing session officiated by one of his 13 wives. For that matter, I
traded neck rubs (and a bit of saliva) with a few of his sackcloth-clad disciples. They were my schoolmates when they weren’t roosting at the Sunset Strip health-food restaurant the Source. Maria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille’s fascinating and even-handed documentary The Source Family doesn’t mention Father Yod’s dog/ god Bartlett’s moment. Nor is there the clip of Woody Allen in Annie Hall stopping by the Source and ordering “a plate of mashed yeast” (rightsclearances are the death blood of the American documentary). The filmmakers do include a snip of Saturday Night Live’s mockery of the Source’s famously bliss-whipped waiters. After an hour and a half of getting to know the manifold seekers Father Yod gathered, you feel a bit
protective toward them—F.U. Dan Aykroyd. Before he changed his name to Father Yod (derived from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton), before he became the lead singer on some of the most obscure and cherished psychedelic albums ever recorded and before his date with fate on a Kauai cliff on Aug. 25, 1975—before all that, Father Yod was born Jim Baker in 1932. Baker had a highly successful career as a Los Angeles restaurateur. He was a World War II vet and killed a few rivals during fights (he was acquitted); he also liked to imply that he had something like a dozen banks to finance his eateries. At the Source, Baker transmogrified into a duplicate of R. Crumb’s Mr. Natural: a whitebearded, long-haired kaftan wearer. His tribe multiplied, all taking the last name Aquarius. There were some 52 home births in the commune, squashed into a three-bathroom house in L.A. This took place shortly before the news of grim Kohoutek, a comet whose absence of show was among

Mr. Natural
the hundred disappointments of a disappointing decade. Father got comet fever, deciding that the celestial event was a harbinger of three-way nuclear war. He and his family flew to Hawaii to set up a spa but encountered conflict and threats from the unenlightened locals. Once draped in identical white robes and lined up like ducklings, the communards have found individual lives in the aftermath of the Source Family. We learn that they’re everything from cashed-out CEOS to Civil War re-enactors to disaster preppers. If there is a real hero in this film, it is “Isis” (who has a credit as an associate producer); she did a sterling job recording the doings of the group, filming with a keen eye for the difference between a home movie and something of interest for history. Father failed to transubstantiate, but at least his Wildman Fisher–like vocals on dozens of rare psychedelic records—there’s an LSD flashback in every track!—have left something behind for the future. I pored over this film looking for faces I remembered, thinking I might have seen them here or there for a few seconds—likely changed, aged by short rations and the exhaustion of homesteading in Hawaii. I recall the little coterie as being quite beautiful in that ’70s California girl way—all but sky-clad in their clinging robes, with long unbound hair and wide spacey eyes. I doubt a goat like Baker would have ignored them—perhaps, as was his custom, he assigned one of them out to a man when he got into a fix. Dressed sometimes in pimp regalia, carrying a cane and traveling in a Rolls-Royce, dressed sometimes as Santa, Father liked to pose as both the hand that takes and the hand that gives. If I’m complaining, it’s sour grapes. The girls I was chasing back in 11th grade finally cut it off, seeing through my motives. To paraphrase George Clinton, musta been the (backward) dog in me.

“His determination to have my company bordered on violence,” said Nick Carraway of Tom Buchanan, and that sums up the shaping of the new Baz Luhrmann version. It will be deemed a turkey, although it is actually a turducken—there wasn’t room to stuff in any more cinematic motifs. Anachronistic music, intended to link yesteryear’s gangster to today’s mobster, is the least problem of this atrocity. The soundtrack rattles you out of the era, but the era has to be relentlessly explained to the viewer: “I hear he’s related to Kaiser Wilhelm, the evil German king,” says a flapper. (A Monroe line, but it’s played seriously.) This Gatsby is a literal movie; 5-year-olds will know that the spectacles of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg are the eyes of God because they’re told so. The text literally floats onscreen in 3D motes like pollen. A wraparound device has Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire with slicked-back hair, looking like Bewitched’s Dick York) as cracked up as Fitzgerald himself. Nick writes under the direction of a kindly therapist (the late Jack Thompson).

In a smart movie, this doctor could have offered some counterpoint, some of the second thoughts that make for a deathless novel instead of a Jazz Age fossil. Leonardo DiCaprio, too old for the part of Jay Gatsby, is introduced with a cloudburst of fireworks over his King Ludwig/Thomas Kincaid castle while “Rhapsody in Blue” The Great Gatsby crescendos; add in the zizzing of shooting stars PG-13; 143 min. a la Tinkerbell, and it’s Opens Friday obvious that Lurhmann

thinks of Gatsby as Walt Disney. As Daisy, Cary Mulligan adds to her Manic Pixie Dream Girl repertoire a breakthrough Depressive Pixie Dream Girl. Elizabeth Debicki‘s Jordan (yes, yes, Internet, she is hot) has so little to do that she mostly stands around like a potted palm. Lurhmann directs her to be so mannish that if you met her socially, you’d be checking for an Adam’s apple. What went right here? The speed of the roadsters, dueling each other on dangerous roads. Someday, you’ll meet a lit student who’ll say, “No, but I saw the movie.” He will feel that The Great Gatsby’s moral is that it’s important not to drive like an asshole.—Richard von Busack

Onstage With the Stones STUDENTS at San Jose State University might see a few familiar faces when the Rolling Stones hit the stage Wednesday at HP Pavilion. For the Rolling Stones’ “50 & Counting” anniversary tour dates in New York and London last year, they tapped the Choir of Trinity Wall Street and the London Youth Choir to sing the intro to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” The Rolling Stones The experiment worked, and now the Stones have asked the San Jose State University Choraliers to back them up at HP Pavilion. Dr. Jeffrey Benson, director of the SJSU choral program, received a call from London before the tour hit California.
Wednesday, May 8; 8pm; $150 and up
HP Pavilion, “They had asked their buddies in Southern California, San Jose ‘Who’s the best choir in Northern California?’ and we were highly recommended,” Benson says. The Choraliers have long been considered one of the best in Northern California and backed Andrea Bocelli at HP last November in front of 20,000 people. Benson’s recently retired predecessor, Dr. Charlene Archibeque, significantly developed the program after her arrival in 1970. What started as a small group of 12 madrigal singers quickly became a larger auditioned chamber ensemble. The SJSU Choraliers went on to win Choir of the World in 1991 as well as six other first prizes at European festivals. Those trying to see the Stones might consider joining the SJSU choir in the next couple weeks. Tuition at SJSU looks cheaper than some tickets.—Stephen Layton

Monogamy might not be “natural,” but neither is watching your partner run around on you and being all “no problemo!” about it. A couple who decide to have an open relationship may tell themselves they can intellectualize their way around jealousy without really working through how, exactly, they’ll manage that. This guy, for example, maybe got so excited about “having his cake” that he neglected to consider what would happen if his girlfriend really, really liked her cake. These two actually had a responsibility to anybody they got involved with to do their open-relationship homework and figure out that they could only manage
“happily ever afternoon,” not “after.” It would be nice if she took responsibility now for failing to take responsibility then, maybe with an “I’m really sorry” and a “We probably shouldn’t see each other,” but she prefers to extend her history of denial with the notion that you can be “friends.” As for whether you should stick around and meet her terms—well, with friends like her, who needs bar fights? Also, it’s hard to stop wanting somebody when you don’t stop seeing them, at least for a while. It seems your time would be better spent pursuing a woman who doesn’t already have a boyfriend. You and she can try the sort of open relationship you’re looking for now—one sans conversational restrictions—as opposed to the sort that, for a good many people, works out like the hen becoming BFFs with the coyote. (Eventually, somebody’s going to end up a pile of feathers.)

But because he’s very much my type, I didn’t care what he was saying, just that he was sticking around saying it and, I hoped, working up to asking for my number. Most women know whether they’re attracted to you before you open your mouth. If a woman’s into you at all, you don’t need to perform like there’s a two-
drink minimum next to the kale; you just need to ask something that keeps her there. “Are you an actress?” is less than ideal, as it comes off as a version of “You’re hot.” She’ll want you to think she’s hot, but women tend to downgrade men who hit on them by remarking on their looks. Ask about something she’s wearing or carrying or something in the environment. If she seems responsive, keep talking. If she’s giving you one-word answers, it’s a sign either that she isn’t attracted to you or that you forgot to point to the cider when you asked, “Those jugs yours?”

ARIES (March 21–April 19): The Tarahumara Indians of northwestern Mexico are renowned for their ability to run long distances. The best runners can cover 200 miles in two days. The paths they travel are not paved or smooth, either, but rather the rough canyon trails that stretch between their settlements. Let’s make them your inspirational role models in the coming week, Aries. I’m hoping that you will be as tough and tenacious as they are—that you will pace yourself for the long haul, calling on your instinctual strength to guide you.
writer Ursula K. Le Guin. And that’s why you must be so conscientious about coming up with the very best questions. Right, Scorpio? All your efforts to hunt down solutions will be for naught unless you frame your problems elegantly and accurately. Now, here’s the very good news: Your skill at asking pertinent questions is at a peak. That’s why I suggest you make this Focused Inquiry Week. Crisply define three questions that will be important for you to address in the next seven months.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20): You may have only a dim idea about how your smartphone and computer work, but that doesn’t prevent you from using their many wonderful features. While you’re swimming, you know almost nothing about the physiological processes that are active inside you, and yet you have no problem making all the necessary movements. In that spirit, I’m not worried about whether or not you will grasp the deep inner meaning of events that will be unfolding in the coming week. Complete understanding isn’t absolutely necessary. All you need to do is trust your intuition to lead you in the direction of what’s interesting and educational.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Charlie
GEMINI (May 21–June 20): “I need not sell my soul to buy bliss,” says a character in Charlotte Bronte’s 19th-century novel Jane Eyre. “I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.” This would be a great speech for you to memorize and periodically recite in the next two weeks. Do it in front of your mirror at least once a day to remind yourself of how amazingly resourceful you are. It will also help you resist the temptation to seek gifts from people who can’t or won’t give them to you.
CANCER (June 21–July 22): What is the big adventure you’ve been postponing forever because it hasn’t been convenient? How about an intriguing possibility you have always wanted to experiment with but have consistently denied yourself? Or what about that nagging mystery you’ve been wishing you had the time and energy to solve? Wouldn’t your life change for the better if you finally dived in and explored it? In the next two weeks, Cancerian, I urge you to consider giving yourself permission to pursue something that fits one of those descriptions. LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): Right now, Leo, you are a majestic and mysterious mess of raw power. You are a fresh, flaming fountain of pure charisma. Irresistible! That’s you! Unstoppable! You! Impossible to fool and immune to the false charms of heartfelt mediocrity! You! You! You! In your current condition, no one can obstruct you from seeing the naked truth about the big picture. And that’s why I am so sure that victory will soon be yours. You will overcome the fuzziness of your allies, the bad vibes of your adversaries, and your own inertia. Not all conquests are important and meaningful, but you will soon achieve the one that is.
VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): A character in Hermann Hesse’s novel Demian says the following: “I live in my dreams. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own.” Whose dreams do you live in, Virgo? What is the source of the fantasies that dominate your imagination? Are they the authentic outpourings of your own soul? Or did they originate with your parents and teachers and lovers? Did they sneak into you from the movies and songs and books you love? Are they the skewed result of the emotional wounds you endured or the limitations you’ve gotten used to? Now is an excellent time to take inventory. Find out how close you are to living in your own dreams.
LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Charles Ives was a renowned American composer who lived from 1874 to 1954. Because his music was experimental and idiosyncratic, it took a long time for him to get the appreciation he deserved. When he was 73 years old, he won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for a symphony he had written when he was 30. I expect that in the near future you might be the beneficiary of a similar kind of mojo, Libra. A good deed you did or a smart move you made in the past will finally get at least some of the recognition or response you’ve always wanted.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): “There are no right answers to wrong questions,” says science fiction
Parker was a great jazz musician. As a saxophonist and composer, he was an influential innovator. Unfortunately, he also had an expensive heroin addiction. It interfered with his ability to achieve financial stability. There’s a famous story about him showing a bystander two veins on his arm as he prepared to shoot up. “This one’s my Cadillac,” he confessed. “And this one’s my house.” I’m bringing this up, Sagittarius, in the hope that it will provide a healthy shock. Are you doing anything remotely like Charlie Parker? Are you pouring time and energy and money into an inferior form of pleasure or a trivial distraction that is undermining your ability to accomplish higher goals? If so, fix that glitch, please.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good,” said iconic songwriter Woody Guthrie. “I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world.” Amen, brother Woody! I have the same approach to writing horoscopes. And I’m happy to advise you, Capricorn, that you should have a similar attitude toward everything you put out and take in during the coming week. Just for now, reject all words, ideas, and actions that demoralize and destroy. Treat yourself to a phase of relentless positivity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): “I know not what my past still has in store for me,” testified the Indian spiritual poet Tukaram. I believe most of us can say the same thing, and here’s why: The events that happened to us once upon a time keep transforming as we ripen. They come to have different meanings in light of the ever-new experiences we have. What seemed like a setback when it first occurred may eventually reveal itself to have been the seed of a blessing. A wish fulfilled at a certain point in our history might come back to haunt us later on. I bring up these ideas, Aquarius, because I think you’re primed to reinterpret your own past. PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): According to legend, Jennifer Lopez’s butt is insured for $300 million. Bruce Springsteen has supposedly insured his voice for $31 million, and wine expert Angela Mount is said to have insured her taste buds for $16 million. In that spirit, Pisces, I encourage you to consider insuring your imagination. To be clear, I don’t anticipate that you will have occasion to collect any settlement. Nothing bad will happen. But taking this step could be a fun ritual that might drive home to you just how important your imagination will be in the coming weeks. Your power to make pictures in your mind will either make you crazy with unfounded fantasies and fearful delusions, or else it will help you visualize in detail the precise nature of the situations you want to create for yourself in the future.
