  string(7805) "ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries actor Bette Davis said that if you want to improve your work, you should "attempt the impossible." That's perfect advice for you right now. I hope to see you hone your skills as you stretch yourself into the unknown. I will celebrate your forays into the frontiers, since doing so will make you even smarter than you already are. I will cheer you on as you transcend your expectations and exceed your limits, thereby enhancing your flair for self-love. Here's your mantra: "I now have the power to turn the impossible into the possible and boost my health and fortunes in the process."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu wrote, "Opportunities multiply as they are seized." You'll be wise to make that your motto during the next five months, Taurus. Life will conspire to bring you more and more benefits and invitations as you take full advantage of the benefits and invitations that life brings.

Envious people could accuse you of being greedy, when in fact, you're simply harnessing a crucial rule in the game of life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "'Because there has been no one to stop me' has been one of the principles of my life," wrote Gemini author Joyce Carol Oates. "If I'd observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere," said Gemini actor Marilyn Monroe. "Play the game. Never let the game play you." So advised Gemini rapper and actor Tupac Shakur. "Who I really am keeps surprising me," declared Gemini author Nikki Giovanni. I propose that we make the previous four quotes your wisdom teachings during the next four weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your animal symbol is usually the crab. But I propose we temporarily change it to the tardigrade. It's a tiny, eight-legged creature that's among the most stalwart on planet Earth—able to live everywhere, from mountaintops to tropical rainforests to the deepest parts of the sea. In extreme temperatures, it thrives, as well as under extreme pressures. Since it emerged as a species half a billion years ago, it has survived all five mass extinctions. I believe you will be as hardy and adaptable and resolute as a tardigrade in the coming months, Cancerian. You will specialize in grit and resilience and determination. PS: Tardigrades are regarded as a "pioneer species" because they take up residence in new and changed environments, paving the way for the arrival of other species. They help create novel ecosystems. Metaphorically speaking, you could be like that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I regularly ask myself how I can become more open-minded. Have I stopped being receptive in any way? What new developments and fresh ideas am I ignorant of? Have my strong opinions blinded me to possibilities that don't fit my opinions? In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to adopt my attitude in the coming weeks. For inspiration, read these thoughts by philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin: "If things speak to us, it is because we are open to them, we perceive them, listen to them, and give them meaning. If things keep quiet, if they no longer speak to us, it is because we are closed."

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Like all the rest of us, Virgo, you have limitations. And it's important for you to identify them and take them into consideration. But I want to make sure you realize you also have fake limitations; you wrongly believe in the truth of some supposed limitations that are, in fact, mostly illusory or imaginary. Your job right now is to dismantle and dissolve those. For inspiration, here's advice from author Mignon McLaughlin: "Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers."

Author and activist Nikki Giovanni wrote, "Everybody that loves freedom loves Harriet Tubman because she was determined not only to be free, but to make free as many people as she could." I hope the wisdom of these women will be among your guiding thoughts in the coming weeks. As your own power and freedom grow, you can supercharge them—render them even more potent—by using them to help others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Man, sometimes it takes you a long time to sound like yourself," testified Miles Davis, one of the most unique and talented jazz trumpeters and composers who ever lived. Popular and successful author Anne Lamott expressed a similar sentiment: "I'm here to be me, which is taking a great deal longer than I had hoped." If those two geniuses found it a challenge to fully develop their special potentials, what chance do the rest of us have? I have good news in that regard, Scorpio. I believe 2022 will be a very favorable time to home in on your deepest, truest self—to ascertain and express more of your soul's code. And you're entering a phase when your instinct for making that happen will be at a peak.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the course of human history, three million ships have sunk to the bottom of the Earth's seas. At one extreme have been huge vessels, like the Titanic and naval cruisers, while at the other extreme are small fishing boats. Many of these have carried money, gems, jewelry, gold, and other precious items. Some people have made it their job to search for those treasures. I believe there could and should be a metaphorical resemblance between you and them in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time for you to hunt for valuable resources, ideas, memories, and yes, even treasures that may be tucked away in the depths, in hidden locations, and in dark places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods," wrote author Margaret Fuller. That's the bad news. The good news is that your capacity for exposing and resisting falsehoods is now at a peak. Furthermore, you have a robust ability to ward off delusions, pretense, nonsense, inauthenticity, and foolishness. Don't be shy about using your superpowers, Capricorn. Everyone you know will benefit as you zero in and focus on what's true and genuine. And you will benefit the most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "All things are inventions of holiness," wrote poet Mary Oliver. "Some more rascally than others." I agree. And I'll add that in the coming weeks, holiness is likely to be especially rascally as it crafts its inventions in your vicinity. Here are the shades of my meaning for the word "rascally": unruly, experimental, mischievous, amusing, mercurial, buoyant, whimsical, and kaleidoscopic. But don't forget that all of this will unfold under the guidance and influence of holiness. I suspect you'll encounter some of the most amusing and entertaining outbreaks of divine intervention ever.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The year 1905 is referred to as Albert Einstein's "Year of Miracles." The Piscean physicist, who was 26 years old, produced three scientific papers that transformed the nature of physics and the way we understand the universe. Among his revolutionary ideas were the theory of special relativity, the concept that light was composed of particles, and the iconic equation E = mc squared. With that information as a backdrop, I will make a bold prediction: that in 2022 you will experience your own personal version of a Year of Miracles. The process is already underway. Now it's time to accelerate it."

I will cheer you on as you transcend your expectations and exceed your limits, thereby enhancing your flair for self-love.

Life will conspire to bring you more and more benefits and invitations as you take full advantage of the benefits and invitations that life brings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "'Because there has been no one to stop me' has been one of the principles of my life," wrote Gemini author Joyce Carol Oates.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your animal symbol is usually the crab. But I propose we temporarily change it to the tardigrade. It's a tiny, eight-legged creature that's among the most stalwart on planet Earth—able to live everywhere, from mountaintops to tropical rainforests to the deepest parts of the sea. In extreme temperatures, it thrives, as well as under extreme pressures. Since it emerged as a species half a billion years ago, it has survived all five mass extinctions. I believe you will be as hardy and adaptable and resolute as a tardigrade in the coming months, Cancerian. You will specialize in grit and resilience and determination. PS: Tardigrades are regarded as a "pioneer species" because they take up residence in new and changed environments, paving the way for the arrival of other species. They help create novel ecosystems. Metaphorically speaking, you could be like that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I regularly ask myself how I can become more open-minded. Have I stopped being receptive in any way? What new developments and fresh ideas am I ignorant of? Have my strong opinions blinded me to possibilities that don't fit my opinions? In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to adopt my attitude in the coming weeks. For inspiration, read these thoughts by philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin: "If things speak to us, it is because we are open to them, we perceive them, listen to them, and give them meaning. If things keep quiet, if they no longer speak to us, it is because we are closed."

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Like all the rest of us, Virgo, you have limitations. And it's important for you to identify them and take them into consideration. But I want to make sure you realize you also have fake limitations; you wrongly believe in the truth of some supposed limitations that are, in fact, mostly illusory or imaginary. Your job right now is to dismantle and dissolve those. For inspiration, here's advice from author Mignon McLaughlin: "Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers."

As your own power and freedom grow, you can supercharge them—render them even more potent—by using them to help others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Man, sometimes it takes you a long time to sound like yourself," testified Miles Davis, one of the most unique and talented jazz trumpeters and composers who ever lived. Popular and successful author Anne Lamott expressed a similar sentiment: "I'm here to be me, which is taking a great deal longer than I had hoped." If those two geniuses found it a challenge to fully develop their special potentials, what chance do the rest of us have? I have good news in that regard, Scorpio. I believe 2022 will be a very favorable time to home in on your deepest, truest self—to ascertain and express more of your soul's code. And you're entering a phase when your instinct for making that happen will be at a peak.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the course of human history, three million ships have sunk to the bottom of the Earth's seas. At one extreme have been huge vessels, like the Titanic and naval cruisers, while at the other extreme are small fishing boats. Many of these have carried money, gems, jewelry, gold, and other precious items. Some people have made it their job to search for those treasures. I believe there could and should be a metaphorical resemblance between you and them in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Now is a favorable time for you to hunt for valuable resources, ideas, memories, and yes, even treasures that may be tucked away in the depths, in hidden locations, and in dark places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods," wrote author Margaret Fuller. That's the bad news. The good news is that your capacity for exposing and resisting falsehoods is now at a peak. Furthermore, you have a robust ability to ward off delusions, pretense, nonsense, inauthenticity, and foolishness. Don't be shy about using your superpowers, Capricorn. Everyone you know will benefit as you zero in and focus on what's true and genuine. And you will benefit the most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "All things are inventions of holiness," wrote poet Mary Oliver. "Some more rascally than others." I agree. And I'll add that in the coming weeks, holiness is likely to be especially rascally as it crafts its inventions in your vicinity. Here are the shades of my meaning for the word "rascally": unruly, experimental, mischievous, amusing, mercurial, buoyant, whimsical, and kaleidoscopic. But don't forget that all of this will unfold under the guidance and influence of holiness. I suspect you'll encounter some of the most amusing and entertaining outbreaks of divine intervention ever.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The year 1905 is referred to as Albert Einstein's "Year of Miracles." The Piscean physicist, who was 26 years old, produced three scientific papers that transformed the nature of physics and the way we understand the universe. Among his revolutionary ideas were the theory of special relativity, the concept that light was composed of particles, and the iconic equation E = mc squared. With that information as a backdrop, I will make a bold prediction: that in 2022 you will experience your own personal version of a Year of Miracles. The process is already underway. Now it's time to accelerate it.       0,0,10                           FREE WILL ASTROLOGY - Week of February 3, 2022 "

The masked woman argued with several bank employees — and ultimately left without any money, according to WSB-TV Action News.

Her next move was bizarre. The woman — moments after trying to rob a bank — went shopping at the Walmart located directly behind to the bank. Police arrived and promptly arrested her at the Walmart.

Police say the woman was armed with a weapon, but they aren’t confirming what type of weapon.

An ex-Playboy model and Baywatch “actress” allegedly had an expletive-filled meltdown and assaulted an 80-year-old fellow passenger on a recent Delta flight from Tampa to Atlanta.

The “actress” was returning from the plane’s bathroom to her seat — but a flight attendant with a drink cart was blocking her way, according to Tribune News Service and Fox News.

The flight attendant asked the “actress” to find an open seat until beverage service was completed.

“What am I, Rosa Parks?” the “actress” reportedly told the flight attendant.

The 80-year-old seated passenger overheard her “Rosa Parks” comment and got involved. He told the “actress” that she “isn’t Black” and they aren’t on a bus or in Alabama.

“Put your fucking mask on,” the “actress” screamed at the 80-year-old.

“I’m eating and can do it with my mask off,” he replied. “Do you want me to pour this over your head, god damn?”

“Don’t you dare talk to me like that,” the “actress” yelled.

“I’ll talk to you any fucking way I want to,” the 80-year-old shouted.

“Sit your ass down,” the “actress” screamed.

“Sit down, Karen,” yelled the 80-year-old. (No, the “actress”’s name isn’t Karen. It’s the insult “Karen.”)

“You’ve got your mask down, bitch,” the 80-year-old man told the “actress.”

“Did you just call me a bitch?” the “actress” responded.

“Yes, I did,” said the 80-year-old man.

Moments later, the “actress” allegedly hit the 80-year-old man’s head “with a closed fist” and spit on him.

“Now, you’re going to jail,” the 80-year-old man replied, throwing in the b-word and the p-word a few more times.

Flight attendants had to restrain the “actress.” When the plane finally landed, Atlanta police officers met her at the gate and arrested the ex-Playboy model and Baywatch “actress” on federal assault charges.

At 9 p.m. in Coweta County, a middle-aged male stranger knocked up on a woman’s front door on New Street and issued one demand: Return his go-cart. Now.

The woman opened her front door and listened. She’d never met this middle-aged stranger before.

The woman said: I don’t know what you are talking about. She said she didn’t have his go-cart.

The middle-aged stranger responded by allegedly pointing a gun at her head, and kidnapping her.

The woman was forced into a waiting minivan, which was being driven by another guy. They took the woman to a convenience store in nearby Whitesburg, GA.

The middle-aged stranger asked the woman: Are you afraid? Yes, the woman responded, explaining again that she does not have his precious go-kart. The stranger went into the convenience store to buy something. Around this time, the woman made a quick, frantic call to her female friend, who contacted authorities.

The stranger walked out of the convenience store, hopped back in the minivan and told his driver to go back to the woman’s neighborhood in Coweta County. When they arrived outside her home, the stranger and the woman got out. The minivan driver sped away.

The middle-aged stranger and the woman — now crying and upset — were both outside her home when Coweta County Sheriff’s deputies showed up. Quickly, deputies used a stun-gun to subdue the stranger. Officers searched him and found a 9mm handgun in his pocket “along with two smoking pipes that tested positive for methamphetamine,” reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The stranger, age 56, was arrested and charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, gun possession by a convicted felon, and several drug-related offenses.

And his go-kart? Never found.

A string of celebs are among the 19 people recently charged in Georgia for allegedly scamming more than $3 million total from the federal Paycheck Protection Program.

Here’s how the scam worked: Each one allegedly made up a fake business and fake employees in order to apply for a PPP loan. An Atlanta man who works as a business consultant allegedly showed them how to do it. Then, the Atlanta man helped them make loan applications to PPP based on agreed-upon fake numbers. When the celebs (and others) received their PPP loan money, they paid a “success fee” to an Atlanta man. (The success fee equals 2%-5% of the total loan amount.) The Atlanta man reportedly raked in $600,000 in “success fees.”

According to the AJC, the celebs include Ion Overman, an actress who appeared in Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail; “Clos” Stephens, a music producer who has worked with Master P and Little Romeo; Dale Godboldo, an actor in Thor; and hip-hop media personality Marvin Lewton, also known as OG Shadi Powers.

The Atlanta man reportedly raked in $600,000 in “success fees.”

According to the AJC, the celebs include Ion Overman, an actress who appeared in Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail; “Clos” Stephens, a music producer who has worked with Master P and Little Romeo; Dale Godboldo, an actor in Thor; and hip-hop media personality Marvin Lewton, also known as OG Shadi Powers.

  string(20126) "Atlanta musicologist Jon Kincaid passed away Wednesday, January, 5, 2022. He was 57 years-old. A former program director for the Georgia Institute of Technology’s WREK Atlanta radio station, Kincaid hosted the long-running program, “Personality Crisis,” which aired live every Sunday night for close to four decades — until his health started to falter and the Coronavirus pandemic changed the way we live.

Taking the name from a song by glam-rockers and punk progenitors The New York Dolls, Kincaid started the show in the early ‘80s when punk and new wave music was yet to be played on commercial radio, and music, as well as much of the audience drawn to the new sound, was undergoing its own personality crisis . Every Sunday night Kincaid took to the airwaves to introduce new songs by the latest bands with records released on the many then-fledgling independent labels — and the then few major labels willing to support the new music  — and to offer listeners information on the bands and band members. Kincaid kept his audience up to date not only on new music, but when many of the artists would appear in Atlanta — no easy feat in pre-internet days — promoting those shows with non-commercial announcements and ticket-giveaways via the station.

WREK-FM was the perfect vehicle for Kincaid, as well as so many other Georgia Tech students who sought some sort of musical refuge in the small studio on the Georgia Tech campus. Todd Ploharski was one of those students. Thomas Peake another. Amy Potter, Arthur W. Davis, George Magiros, whether as deejays, program directors, or station managers, they all strived to make WREK the diversified radio station it is, and to allow Jon Kincaid the ability to not only follow his heart and his gut in what he played on “Personality Crisis,” but to interview many of the otherwise unknown touring bands and to present and document local bands live in the studio on the show he engineered, Live at WREK. Kincaid was such a force in presenting the unheard and the unpredictable that Atlantan Doug Hughes began taping Kincaid’s shows every Sunday night.


 










 


 

During the course of his musical adventures, Kincaid was a regular at clubs like 688, The Metroplex, The Point, and The Cotton Club, where national and international touring bands would perform, as well as at smaller places, including The Bistro, Frijolero’s, Margaritaville, and The Dugout, where many local bands got their start. A true believer in Atlanta music, he was an avid supporter of local bands. He was always at shows. He was always wherever music was being played.


Kincaid was one of the first to champion Drivin N Cryin, the then new band fronted by Milwaukee transplant, singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney on guitar, with ex-members of The Nightporters, Tim Nielsen and Paul Lenz, on bass and drums, respectively. He was also the first to give air time to bands as disparate as the Indigo Girls, Smashing Pumpkins, and Neon Christ.

Smart, articulate, and with a memory like a steel trap, Kincaid’s reputation grew as much for hosting the long-running “Personality Crisis” as for his encyclopedic knowledge of Atlanta bands and concerts. Want to know which performers jumped off the balcony and into the mosh pit at the Metroplex? Ask Jon. What were the differences in Iggy Pop’s set lists during his week-long stint at 688? Ask Jon. Kincaid remembered everything. While social media is now a place for people to ask questions about various Atlanta music scenes of the past, to dissect clubs, concerts and other events, Kincaid didn’t dwell in such activity. He knew already all the answers. Like so many of us who were a part of that era, Kincaid lived and breathed the scene. And like a few of us, Kincaid didn’t have to rely on others for half truths, rumors and innuendos, he kept extensive notes, and if he didn’t remember something off the top of his head — which was rare — he could turn to his notebooks for the facts.

Kincaid was also a collector. Not only of records and cassettes, and later, CDs, but of the memorabilia of the Atlanta scene from the ‘80s onward. Not that he would scour the city for items he didn’t have — more times than not, I would run into him looking for LPs and CDs at out-of-the-way music stores and thrift shops in search of music he didn’t have — but, as the events happened, he would grab something off the wall to take home with him as he left the club or venue. His collection of fliers and posters documenting live shows is legendary.

Kincaid’s older sister, Tammy Kincaid Foley, takes pride in knowing she helped develop his love of music. In her Facebook post the day of his death, she recounts “taking him to concerts and driving him to record stores” when he was younger, which lead him on his career path. She also acknowledges that “Jon was a true brainiac and a nerd before nerds were cool. He always read everything he could get his hands on and excelled in the classroom. He did very well on the SAT which garnered him acceptance to Georgia Tech, Duke, Auburn University, and Harvard.”

But as Kincaid was preparing for college, their father passed away, and, with their mother wanting Jon to stay close to home, “he (decided on) Georgia Tech and told me that he chose Harrison Dorm because he could take the tunnel and walk over to 688 and catch a show.”
Kincaid suffered from “heart and diabetes issues,” Foley says, stating “It was thought that the radiation he endured for cancer at 10 months old caused his heart issues.”

In 2004, Kincaid had quadruple bypass surgery. Long-time friend Ploharski, who was on the air with Kincaid for early episodes of “Personality Crisis,” along with Brad Syna, who had known Kincaid from his own radio days at WRFG-FM, organized a benefit concert for the ailing radio personality at the Variety Playhouse. Drivin N Cryin, R.E.M. and other area bands Kincaid supported early in their careers, came to his aid, donating their time and/or memorabilia to raise money for Jon to help cover his medical expenses.

Foley recalls that, at the time, Kincaid’s “employer had gone out of business and he was jobless.” Kincaid’s need of financial aid is worth mentioning because, for the almost forty years he was on the air at WREK, he never got paid. He continued the show long after he graduated Georgia Tech, because of his love of music and the chance to turn people on to something they may not have yet heard, not for financial gain.

On Monday, January 3, Kincaid suffered a heart attack. Sensing something was wrong, he drove himself to the hospital where he remained for two days. Despite strict COVID protocols, both Foley and her daughter, Bethany, were able to be at his side during his stay.

“Jon never married or had children,” Foley says, but “my daughter Bethany was like a daughter to him and people sometimes thought she was his. She and I were with him all afternoon before he passed.”

Through the use of her cell phone, Foley was also able to allow a few of  Kincaid’s close friends, like Ploharski — who probably spoke on the phone with Kincaid every other day for 38 years — the chance to visit him via Facetime one last time.

A cornerstone of Atlanta’s punk and new wave scene, Kincaid died the afternoon of January 5, the 44th anniversary of the Sex Pistols’ U.S. debut in Atlanta at the Great Southeast Music Hall.


After his death, tributes to Kincaid started filling social media sites. Friends; musicians; record and CD dealers and collectors; music industry people; fans; fans of bands who didn’t know him personally, but knew of him from the insightful and knowledgeable posts he would make; and radio colleagues — the community that came together during the days of 688 and The Metroplex — all took the time to express their shock and sorrow at the loss of a person who was shy and introverted in person, but on the air, was the voice of a generation of music lovers who found solace and refuge — and their own identity — in punk rock, new wave, and the alternative music those genres would become, in the years after Kincaid first started playing the music during his shift at the old WREK studios adjacent to the Tech Coliseum.

Creative Loafing asked many of Kincaid’s colleagues and friend to offer their thoughts, or special memories, regarding him. Included are edited versions of their responses.

Randy Blazak, sociology professor, music journalist —  Before there was Wikipedia, there was Jon Kincaid. At least when it came to music. The man’s brain was a repository of countless factoids about music. Who produced the last Wall of Voodoo single or who was the original drummer for Nihilist? Jon knew that. He brought that knowledge to his WREK shows (accumulating it from ) all the live shows he went to (carrying his recorder and pen and paper). He was the chronicler of Atlanta music, kind of like The Watcher in the Marvel “What If…?” series. They even sort of look alike.

My contact with Jon came primarily through his affinity for Drivin N Cryin, for whom I was an early manager. It was his recognition of the magic that Kevn, Tim, and Paul were creating in late 1985 that brought the band to a wider audience. They were regular guests of his “Personality Crisis” show, which I would record off the air at the Treehouse, our apartment HQ. I sent a tape of one show, that Kevn had titled, “50 Ways to Cook a Chicken,” to Bono of U2. U2 was in town the following year and Bono grabbed me by the shoulders, saying, “Randy, I am a Drivin N Cryin’ fan!” Shortly after that, DNC was signed to Island Records, U2’s label. I like to think it was because Jon managed to bring out the best of the musicians he supported.

It’s hard to imagine an Atlanta music scene without Jon there to keep track of all the players. He was the gardener of the family tree, pruning, watering, and, when needed, spreading some fertilizer. In an era of algorithms and digitally curated playlists, he was the last DJ. As an occasional guest on his show, I got to see his craft in action, a vinyl platter in one hand and his notepad in the other. He linked the songs to the endless stories in his head in one seamless performance art piece. His listeners were brought in by his passion for records, bands, and songs that mattered. We are all made weaker by his departure.

Randy DuTeau, Neon Christ — The impact Jon Kincaid had on the Atlanta music scene is immeasurable. It was with sadness I learned he passed away. He had been battling serious health challenges. In his passing, I wish for him to be healthy and rocking in the stars. He was very good to Neon Christ. WREK played us regularly, and it was a great honor to be invited to play a Live at WREK set. He was the engineer. Thank you, Jon. From all of us. Your musical knowledge was remarkable, and your support of Atlanta music genuine and deeply appreciated. Thank you and safe travels.

Gregory Nicholl, author and journalist — I first met Jon in 1982 while camped out overnight to buy tickets to see The Clash. It was a long, chilly night on the pavement outside Peaches Records and Tapes on Peachtree Street. As fate would have it have it, Jon was in line right behind me. We struck up a conversation about music that lasted — admittedly with numerous gaps — for nearly 40 years.

Through the next four decades I would run into Jon at concerts, usually right before the music started or immediately afterwards. He’d walk up to me and pick up our chat as if mere minutes (instead of weeks or months) had passed. There was never any small talk, none of the “How-ya-doin?” or “Where-ya-working-now?” stuff. He’d just open with, “Hey, I made you a cassette of my interview with Joey Ramone,” or, “”Hey, have you heard Dee Dee’s rap record?!”

Jon was generous to a fault, always gifting people rare recordings he’d dubbed. He knew what kinds of things intrigued his friends and he was constantly sending emails (and later texts) with links to news stories about our favorite musicians. Turn Jon loose in a new second-hand store, and late that night your iPhone would light up with images of strange foreign releases or odd bootleg albums he’d unearthed, things you immediately just had to have.

He was also one of the most guileless people I’ve ever known. I never heard an uncharitable word cross his lips. Even more remarkable was his incredible memory. He could instantly recall the exact dates and venues where just about any touring band had ever played in Atlanta, even describe their set and tell you who their opening act was! For those of us who dabble in music journalism, this astonishing talent made Jon an incredibly valuable resource, one which — just like his upbeat and tirelessly inquiring personality — will be painfully missed.

As his memorial service (Saturday, January 22) began, an instrumentalist played “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.” The tune struck me hard, personally, because it appears in Sam Peckinpah’s 1962 movie, Ride the High Country, from which my wife and I borrowed the judge’s speech to use in our wedding ceremony. Suddenly it hit me that with Jon’s passing, another huge milestone in my life was being crossed. One thing’s for sure. When that roll is called – “up yonder” or anywhere else — Jon Kincaid will be there.

Jeanne Potter, former staff member, WRFG-FM — Jon Kincaid’s name was synonymous with WREK’s unique music programming and the vibrant local music scene in Atlanta. He was always supporting and promoting local bands on his show “Personality Crisis,” a 10 p.m. Sunday night fixture that became a ritual for many of us. He had a very sly sense of humor, you had to listen carefully to catch some of his joking comments. He was humble and never had that “look at me I’m a DJ” attitude. He was also kind and helped usher many young bands into the Atlanta market and beyond.

Jon used to visit the WRFG studios when Brad Syna was on air and I was waiting for my show to begin. Jon would surprise me with his vast musical knowledge, making me wonder how he fit all that knowledge into one brain. I always learned something and usually we were laughing at the same time. I still see Jon standing to my left in the muted lights of the turntables with this mischievous smile as he entertained us with his stories of his adventures in the local clubs we music nerds inhabited until the sun came up.

Atlanta has truly lost a musical treasure with Jon’s passing. I don’t know of anyone else who can match his knowledge and his generosity. I am sure that where ever he is now, there is DNC on the turntable and laughter.

Of course. I am still trying to grasp the fact that he is no longer here. A loss like this always makes me realize how fragile we all are and how lucky we have all been to experience what we had here in Atlanta.

Doug Hughes, Perimeter Records — I first met Jon Kincaid inside WREK’s air studio in late 1987, recording My Evil Twin for the first Perimeter Christmas cassette. He played my bass and sang, breaking a bass string in the process. Everything Jon did in that band was full on intensity and he displayed that intensity in every live performance. We never took ourselves seriously but Jon relished the opportunity to write and sing lyrics from his ever present lyric notebook. I was amazed by his ability to write lyrics on the spot for whatever song idea we were working on. His knowledge of underground music, his skewed sense of humor, and an uncanny ability to accurately impersonate a variety of people is what I’ll always remember.

Arthur W. Davis, WREK — He did a lot of impersonations. When Jon, Chuck Furlong, and I hosted “The Punk Rock Anarchy Hour,” we’d have celebrity call-ins from Jerry Garcia and the like who were, of course, all Jon. And the three of us would talk like meathead punks over the air. I say that loving punk rock. Anyway, one day I ran into a local record distributor, and we talked about the show. He said, “That was you guys!? I thought it was ‘true punks.’”

“Anarchy Hour” was the show where we broke one of the station’s rules. I think I was Station Manager and Jon was Music Director at the time. So we had to suspend our own show. We gave ourselves a six week suspension and recorded a ridiculous announcement for the suspension each week. Recording those was as much fun as the show!

Chris Mills, filmmaker — I am not sure whether I first met Jon at a record store or a concert. I am sure it was around 1983. I was immediately impressed with how much he knew of DIY/Punk/Indie music, and how enthusiastic he was about it all! It felt like I ran into him at every concert I attended! And he would be intently watching the bands, paying deep attention to every note and lyric. He loved big bold and intense performances.

Pretty much all genres interested him, and he would gleefully share suggestions of who else to listen to if I liked an artist. If a band was playing, he was in the thick of the audience, paying close attention. Seeing music was an eternal adventure for Jon, and he would try to see music every night if possible.

I remember one long weekend of ours, seeing the Ramones (twice) Black Flag and Saccharine Trust, ranging from an Emory ballroom, to the Strand in Marietta, and back downtown to 688. In the midst of it, he interviewed Joey for WREK. With WREK being a bastion of industrial music and avant garde performances, I remember Jon performing at one of Glenn Thrasher and Ellen McGrail’s Destroy All Music festivals with fellow Atlanta radio legend Kim Turner. No matter how many radio shows he DJ’ed, how many concerts he saw, or how many records he heard, he never lost the sense of wonder and fun for original music.

Dugan Trodglen, musician, — Anyone who knew Jon Kincaid knows he is on the rock ’n’ roll heaven guest list.

Fun and emblematic memory: thanks to my (and Jon’s) late friend Thomas Peake, I would occasionally have the pleasure of co-hosting WREK’s Sunday Special, a show focusing on a specific artist. It came on right before Jon’s “Personality Crisis” show, and he would sometimes find a cover of the Sunday Special artist to play on his show. When Thomas and I did a program on saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, I challenged Jon to find a rock band that covered Pharoah. He was already holding a copy of Gun Club’s The Las Vegas Story album, featuring their mini-cover of “The Creator Has A Master Plan.” Respect.

Kim Roberts Cresswell, artist, musician — Saying goodbye to old friends is incredibly heartbreaking. Saying goodbye to Jon Kincaid even more so, because he was always there. Always. At every show I was at. Always writing down details. And always talking about music. If I ever wasn’t sure about a fact, or an event, I could ask Jon. Sometimes we’d talk for hours. Sometimes I would just see him across the room about to head into a show. For a long time, when we first met, I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not, and I was so nervous that I was either bothering him or he just didn’t want to talk, but, then I discovered what a big sweetheart he was. It was always a gift to talk to Jon.

He and I used to debate about each of us being at the first Drivin N Cryin show. He said it was one place and I was certain it was another. We never really finished that debate. It’s okay, because I’m not one hundred percent certain.…

Saying goodbye is always hard. Saying goodbye to Jon is major. He did so, so very much for the Atlanta music scene and beyond. He will always be a legend to me and to so many others. —CL—

~~#000:__''— Tammy Kincaid, eight years old''__~~
{BOX}
After his death, tributes to Kincaid started filling social media sites. Friends; musicians; record and CD dealers and collectors; music industry people; fans; fans of bands who didn’t know him personally, but knew of him from the insightful and knowledgeable posts he would make; and radio colleagues — the community that came together during the days of 688 and The Metroplex — all took the time to express their shock and sorrow at the loss of a person who was shy and introverted in person, but on the air, was the voice of a generation of music lovers who found solace and refuge — and their own identity — in punk rock, new wave, and the alternative music those genres would become, in the years after Kincaid first started playing the music during his shift at the old WREK studios adjacent to the Tech Coliseum.

''Creative Loafing'' asked many of Kincaid’s colleagues and friend to offer their thoughts, or special memories, regarding him. Included are edited versions of their responses.

__Randy Blazak__, sociology professor, music journalist —  Before there was Wikipedia, there was Jon Kincaid. At least when it came to music. The man’s brain was a repository of countless factoids about music. Who produced the last Wall of Voodoo single or who was the original drummer for Nihilist? Jon knew that. He brought that knowledge to his WREK shows (accumulating it from ) all the live shows he went to (carrying his recorder and pen and paper). He was the chronicler of Atlanta music, kind of like The Watcher in the Marvel “What If…?” series. They even sort of look alike.

My contact with Jon came primarily through his affinity for Drivin N Cryin, for whom I was an early manager. It was his recognition of the magic that Kevn, Tim, and Paul were creating in late 1985 that brought the band to a wider audience. They were regular guests of his “Personality Crisis” show, which I would record off the air at the Treehouse, our apartment HQ. I sent a tape of one show, that Kevn had titled, “50 Ways to Cook a Chicken,” to Bono of U2. U2 was in town the following year and Bono grabbed me by the shoulders, saying, “Randy, I am a Drivin N Cryin’ fan!” Shortly after that, DNC was signed to Island Records, U2’s label. I like to think it was because Jon managed to bring out the best of the musicians he supported.

It’s hard to imagine an Atlanta music scene without Jon there to keep track of all the players. He was the gardener of the family tree, pruning, watering, and, when needed, spreading some fertilizer. In an era of algorithms and digitally curated playlists, he was the last DJ. As an occasional guest on his show, I got to see his craft in action, a vinyl platter in one hand and his notepad in the other. He linked the songs to the endless stories in his head in one seamless performance art piece. His listeners were brought in by his passion for records, bands, and songs that mattered. We are all made weaker by his departure.

__Randy DuTeau__, Neon Christ — The impact Jon Kincaid had on the Atlanta music scene is immeasurable. It was with sadness I learned he passed away. He had been battling serious health challenges. In his passing, I wish for him to be healthy and rocking in the stars. He was very good to Neon Christ. WREK played us regularly, and it was a great honor to be invited to play a Live at WREK set. He was the engineer. Thank you, Jon. From all of us. Your musical knowledge was remarkable, and your support of Atlanta music genuine and deeply appreciated. Thank you and safe travels.

__Gregory Nicholl__, author and journalist — I first met Jon in 1982 while camped out overnight to buy tickets to see The Clash. It was a long, chilly night on the pavement outside Peaches Records and Tapes on Peachtree Street. As fate would have it have it, Jon was in line right behind me. We struck up a conversation about music that lasted — admittedly with numerous gaps — for nearly 40 years.

Through the next four decades I would run into Jon at concerts, usually right before the music started or immediately afterwards. He’d walk up to me and pick up our chat as if mere minutes (instead of weeks or months) had passed. There was never any small talk, none of the “How-ya-doin?” or “Where-ya-working-now?” stuff. He’d just open with, “Hey, I made you a cassette of my interview with Joey Ramone,” or, “”Hey, have you heard Dee Dee’s rap record?!”

Jon was generous to a fault, always gifting people rare recordings he’d dubbed. He knew what kinds of things intrigued his friends and he was constantly sending emails (and later texts) with links to news stories about our favorite musicians. Turn Jon loose in a new second-hand store, and late that night your iPhone would light up with images of strange foreign releases or odd bootleg albums he’d unearthed, things you immediately just had to have.

He was also one of the most guileless people I’ve ever known. I never heard an uncharitable word cross his lips. Even more remarkable was his incredible memory. He could instantly recall the exact dates and venues where just about any touring band had ever played in Atlanta, even describe their set and tell you who their opening act was! For those of us who dabble in music journalism, this astonishing talent made Jon an incredibly valuable resource, one which — just like his upbeat and tirelessly inquiring personality — will be painfully missed.

As his memorial service (Saturday, January 22) began, an instrumentalist played “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.” The tune struck me hard, personally, because it appears in Sam Peckinpah’s 1962 movie, ''Ride the High Country'', from which my wife and I borrowed the judge’s speech to use in our wedding ceremony. Suddenly it hit me that with Jon’s passing, another huge milestone in my life was being crossed. One thing’s for sure. When that roll is called – “up yonder” or anywhere else — Jon Kincaid will be there.

__Jeanne Potter__, former staff member, WRFG-FM — Jon Kincaid’s name was synonymous with WREK’s unique music programming and the vibrant local music scene in Atlanta. He was always supporting and promoting local bands on his show “Personality Crisis,” a 10 p.m. Sunday night fixture that became a ritual for many of us. He had a very sly sense of humor, you had to listen carefully to catch some of his joking comments. He was humble and never had that “look at me I’m a DJ” attitude. He was also kind and helped usher many young bands into the Atlanta market and beyond.

Jon used to visit the WRFG studios when Brad Syna was on air and I was waiting for my show to begin. Jon would surprise me with his vast musical knowledge, making me wonder how he fit all that knowledge into one brain. I always learned something and usually we were laughing at the same time. I still see Jon standing to my left in the muted lights of the turntables with this mischievous smile as he entertained us with his stories of his adventures in the local clubs we music nerds inhabited until the sun came up.

Atlanta has truly lost a musical treasure with Jon’s passing. I don’t know of anyone else who can match his knowledge and his generosity. I am sure that where ever he is now, there is DNC on the turntable and laughter.

Of course. I am still trying to grasp the fact that he is no longer here. A loss like this always makes me realize how fragile we all are and how lucky we have all been to experience what we had here in Atlanta.

__Doug Hughes__, Perimeter Records — I first met Jon Kincaid inside WREK’s air studio in late 1987, recording My Evil Twin for the first Perimeter Christmas cassette. He played my bass and sang, breaking a bass string in the process. Everything Jon did in that band was full on intensity and he displayed that intensity in every live performance. We never took ourselves seriously but Jon relished the opportunity to write and sing lyrics from his ever present lyric notebook. I was amazed by his ability to write lyrics on the spot for whatever song idea we were working on. His knowledge of underground music, his skewed sense of humor, and an uncanny ability to accurately impersonate a variety of people is what I’ll always remember.

__Arthur W. Davis__, WREK — He did a lot of impersonations. When Jon, Chuck Furlong, and I hosted “The Punk Rock Anarchy Hour,” we’d have celebrity call-ins from Jerry Garcia and the like who were, of course, all Jon. And the three of us would talk like meathead punks over the air. I say that loving punk rock. Anyway, one day I ran into a local record distributor, and we talked about the show. He said, “That was you guys!? I thought it was ‘true punks.’”

“Anarchy Hour” was the show where we broke one of the station’s rules. I think I was Station Manager and Jon was Music Director at the time. So we had to suspend our own show. We gave ourselves a six week suspension and recorded a ridiculous announcement for the suspension each week. Recording those was as much fun as the show!

__Chris Mills__, filmmaker — I am not sure whether I first met Jon at a record store or a concert. I am sure it was around 1983. I was immediately impressed with how much he knew of DIY/Punk/Indie music, and how enthusiastic he was about it all! It felt like I ran into him at every concert I attended! And he would be intently watching the bands, paying deep attention to every note and lyric. He loved big bold and intense performances.

Pretty much all genres interested him, and he would gleefully share suggestions of who else to listen to if I liked an artist. If a band was playing, he was in the thick of the audience, paying close attention. Seeing music was an eternal adventure for Jon, and he would try to see music every night if possible.

I remember one long weekend of ours, seeing the Ramones (twice) Black Flag and Saccharine Trust, ranging from an Emory ballroom, to the Strand in Marietta, and back downtown to 688. In the midst of it, he interviewed Joey for WREK. With WREK being a bastion of industrial music and avant garde performances, I remember Jon performing at one of Glenn Thrasher and Ellen McGrail’s ''Destroy All Music'' festivals with fellow Atlanta radio legend Kim Turner. No matter how many radio shows he DJ’ed, how many concerts he saw, or how many records he heard, he never lost the sense of wonder and fun for original music.

__Dugan Trodglen__, musician, — Anyone who knew Jon Kincaid knows he is on the rock ’n’ roll heaven guest list.

Fun and emblematic memory: thanks to my (and Jon’s) late friend Thomas Peake, I would occasionally have the pleasure of co-hosting WREK’s Sunday Special, a show focusing on a specific artist. It came on right before Jon’s “Personality Crisis” show, and he would sometimes find a cover of the Sunday Special artist to play on his show. When Thomas and I did a program on saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, I challenged Jon to find a rock band that covered Pharoah. He was already holding a copy of Gun Club’s ''The Las Vegas Story'' album, featuring their mini-cover of “The Creator Has A Master Plan.” Respect.

__Kim Roberts Cresswell__, artist, musician — Saying goodbye to old friends is incredibly heartbreaking. Saying goodbye to Jon Kincaid even more so, because he was always there. Always. At every show I was at. Always writing down details. And always talking about music. If I ever wasn’t sure about a fact, or an event, I could ask Jon. Sometimes we’d talk for hours. Sometimes I would just see him across the room about to head into a show. For a long time, when we first met, I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not, and I was so nervous that I was either bothering him or he just didn’t want to talk, but, then I discovered what a big sweetheart he was. It was always a gift to talk to Jon.

He and I used to debate about each of us being at the first Drivin N Cryin show. He said it was one place and I was certain it was another. We never really finished that debate. It’s okay, because I’m not one hundred percent certain.…

Saying goodbye is always hard. Saying goodbye to Jon is major. He did so, so very much for the Atlanta music scene and beyond. He will always be a legend to me and to so many others. ~~#000000:__—CL—__~~

Getting those quotes from Kevn and Tammy (from childhood) up at the top was lovely. I meant to get back to you to talk about Jon's experimental music. He appeared as Sequence 3 along with Jarboe et al. on the Nine//Underground album, and he had a tape under that moniker on Perimeter records. It always astounded met that Jon really liked creating noise music. It wasn't some ironic or throwaway kind of thing: he approached it with the same earnestness and investment that he did with everything else--and it was great! The main thing though is he was all around a good guy. I appreciate you, Todd, and Chad for bringing the memories forward.  The Atlanta deejay did more than play music #1 Kincaid Jon DNC Doc   2022-02-01T16:11:39+00:00  Remembering Jon Kincaid jim.harris Jim Harris TONY PARIS tony.paris (Tony Paris) 2022-02-01T16:11:39+00:00 Atlanta musicologist Jon Kincaid passed away Wednesday, January, 5, 2022. He was 57 years-old. A former program director for the Georgia Institute of Technology’s WREK Atlanta radio station, Kincaid hosted the long-running program, “Personality Crisis,” which aired live every Sunday night for close to four decades — until his health started to falter and the Coronavirus pandemic changed the way we live.

Taking the name from a song by glam-rockers and punk progenitors The New York Dolls, Kincaid started the show in the early ‘80s when punk and new wave music was yet to be played on commercial radio, and music, as well as much of the audience drawn to the new sound, was undergoing its own personality crisis . Every Sunday night Kincaid took to the airwaves to introduce new songs by the latest bands with records released on the many then-fledgling independent labels — and the then few major labels willing to support the new music  — and to offer listeners information on the bands and band members. Kincaid kept his audience up to date not only on new music, but when many of the artists would appear in Atlanta — no easy feat in pre-internet days — promoting those shows with non-commercial announcements and ticket-giveaways via the station.

WREK-FM was the perfect vehicle for Kincaid, as well as so many other Georgia Tech students who sought some sort of musical refuge in the small studio on the Georgia Tech campus. Todd Ploharski was one of those students. Thomas Peake another. Amy Potter, Arthur W. Davis, George Magiros, whether as deejays, program directors, or station managers, they all strived to make WREK the diversified radio station it is, and to allow Jon Kincaid the ability to not only follow his heart and his gut in what he played on “Personality Crisis,” but to interview many of the otherwise unknown touring bands and to present and document local bands live in the studio on the show he engineered, Live at WREK. Kincaid was such a force in presenting the unheard and the unpredictable that Atlantan Doug Hughes began taping Kincaid’s shows every Sunday night.


 










 


 

During the course of his musical adventures, Kincaid was a regular at clubs like 688, The Metroplex, The Point, and The Cotton Club, where national and international touring bands would perform, as well as at smaller places, including The Bistro, Frijolero’s, Margaritaville, and The Dugout, where many local bands got their start. A true believer in Atlanta music, he was an avid supporter of local bands. He was always at shows. He was always wherever music was being played.


Kincaid was one of the first to champion Drivin N Cryin, the then new band fronted by Milwaukee transplant, singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney on guitar, with ex-members of The Nightporters, Tim Nielsen and Paul Lenz, on bass and drums, respectively. He was also the first to give air time to bands as disparate as the Indigo Girls, Smashing Pumpkins, and Neon Christ.

Smart, articulate, and with a memory like a steel trap, Kincaid’s reputation grew as much for hosting the long-running “Personality Crisis” as for his encyclopedic knowledge of Atlanta bands and concerts. Want to know which performers jumped off the balcony and into the mosh pit at the Metroplex? Ask Jon. What were the differences in Iggy Pop’s set lists during his week-long stint at 688? Ask Jon. Kincaid remembered everything. While social media is now a place for people to ask questions about various Atlanta music scenes of the past, to dissect clubs, concerts and other events, Kincaid didn’t dwell in such activity. He knew already all the answers. Like so many of us who were a part of that era, Kincaid lived and breathed the scene. And like a few of us, Kincaid didn’t have to rely on others for half truths, rumors and innuendos, he kept extensive notes, and if he didn’t remember something off the top of his head — which was rare — he could turn to his notebooks for the facts.

Kincaid was also a collector. Not only of records and cassettes, and later, CDs, but of the memorabilia of the Atlanta scene from the ‘80s onward. Not that he would scour the city for items he didn’t have — more times than not, I would run into him looking for LPs and CDs at out-of-the-way music stores and thrift shops in search of music he didn’t have — but, as the events happened, he would grab something off the wall to take home with him as he left the club or venue. His collection of fliers and posters documenting live shows is legendary.

Kincaid’s older sister, Tammy Kincaid Foley, takes pride in knowing she helped develop his love of music. In her Facebook post the day of his death, she recounts “taking him to concerts and driving him to record stores” when he was younger, which lead him on his career path. She also acknowledges that “Jon was a true brainiac and a nerd before nerds were cool. He always read everything he could get his hands on and excelled in the classroom. He did very well on the SAT which garnered him acceptance to Georgia Tech, Duke, Auburn University, and Harvard.”

But as Kincaid was preparing for college, their father passed away, and, with their mother wanting Jon to stay close to home, “he (decided on) Georgia Tech and told me that he chose Harrison Dorm because he could take the tunnel and walk over to 688 and catch a show.”
Kincaid suffered from “heart and diabetes issues,” Foley says, stating “It was thought that the radiation he endured for cancer at 10 months old caused his heart issues.”

In 2004, Kincaid had quadruple bypass surgery. Long-time friend Ploharski, who was on the air with Kincaid for early episodes of “Personality Crisis,” along with Brad Syna, who had known Kincaid from his own radio days at WRFG-FM, organized a benefit concert for the ailing radio personality at the Variety Playhouse. Drivin N Cryin, R.E.M. and other area bands Kincaid supported early in their careers, came to his aid, donating their time and/or memorabilia to raise money for Jon to help cover his medical expenses.

Foley recalls that, at the time, Kincaid’s “employer had gone out of business and he was jobless.” Kincaid’s need of financial aid is worth mentioning because, for the almost forty years he was on the air at WREK, he never got paid. He continued the show long after he graduated Georgia Tech, because of his love of music and the chance to turn people on to something they may not have yet heard, not for financial gain.

On Monday, January 3, Kincaid suffered a heart attack. Sensing something was wrong, he drove himself to the hospital where he remained for two days. Despite strict COVID protocols, both Foley and her daughter, Bethany, were able to be at his side during his stay.

“Jon never married or had children,” Foley says, but “my daughter Bethany was like a daughter to him and people sometimes thought she was his. She and I were with him all afternoon before he passed.”

Through the use of her cell phone, Foley was also able to allow a few of  Kincaid’s close friends, like Ploharski — who probably spoke on the phone with Kincaid every other day for 38 years — the chance to visit him via Facetime one last time.

A cornerstone of Atlanta’s punk and new wave scene, Kincaid died the afternoon of January 5, the 44th anniversary of the Sex Pistols’ U.S. debut in Atlanta at the Great Southeast Music Hall.


After his death, tributes to Kincaid started filling social media sites. Friends; musicians; record and CD dealers and collectors; music industry people; fans; fans of bands who didn’t know him personally, but knew of him from the insightful and knowledgeable posts he would make; and radio colleagues — the community that came together during the days of 688 and The Metroplex — all took the time to express their shock and sorrow at the loss of a person who was shy and introverted in person, but on the air, was the voice of a generation of music lovers who found solace and refuge — and their own identity — in punk rock, new wave, and the alternative music those genres would become, in the years after Kincaid first started playing the music during his shift at the old WREK studios adjacent to the Tech Coliseum.

Creative Loafing asked many of Kincaid’s colleagues and friend to offer their thoughts, or special memories, regarding him. Included are edited versions of their responses.

Randy Blazak, sociology professor, music journalist —  Before there was Wikipedia, there was Jon Kincaid. At least when it came to music. The man’s brain was a repository of countless factoids about music. Who produced the last Wall of Voodoo single or who was the original drummer for Nihilist? Jon knew that. He brought that knowledge to his WREK shows (accumulating it from ) all the live shows he went to (carrying his recorder and pen and paper). He was the chronicler of Atlanta music, kind of like The Watcher in the Marvel “What If…?” series. They even sort of look alike.

My contact with Jon came primarily through his affinity for Drivin N Cryin, for whom I was an early manager. It was his recognition of the magic that Kevn, Tim, and Paul were creating in late 1985 that brought the band to a wider audience. They were regular guests of his “Personality Crisis” show, which I would record off the air at the Treehouse, our apartment HQ. I sent a tape of one show, that Kevn had titled, “50 Ways to Cook a Chicken,” to Bono of U2. U2 was in town the following year and Bono grabbed me by the shoulders, saying, “Randy, I am a Drivin N Cryin’ fan!” Shortly after that, DNC was signed to Island Records, U2’s label. I like to think it was because Jon managed to bring out the best of the musicians he supported.

It’s hard to imagine an Atlanta music scene without Jon there to keep track of all the players. He was the gardener of the family tree, pruning, watering, and, when needed, spreading some fertilizer. In an era of algorithms and digitally curated playlists, he was the last DJ. As an occasional guest on his show, I got to see his craft in action, a vinyl platter in one hand and his notepad in the other. He linked the songs to the endless stories in his head in one seamless performance art piece. His listeners were brought in by his passion for records, bands, and songs that mattered. We are all made weaker by his departure.

Randy DuTeau, Neon Christ — The impact Jon Kincaid had on the Atlanta music scene is immeasurable. It was with sadness I learned he passed away. He had been battling serious health challenges. In his passing, I wish for him to be healthy and rocking in the stars. He was very good to Neon Christ. WREK played us regularly, and it was a great honor to be invited to play a Live at WREK set. He was the engineer. Thank you, Jon. From all of us. Your musical knowledge was remarkable, and your support of Atlanta music genuine and deeply appreciated. Thank you and safe travels.

Gregory Nicholl, author and journalist — I first met Jon in 1982 while camped out overnight to buy tickets to see The Clash. It was a long, chilly night on the pavement outside Peaches Records and Tapes on Peachtree Street. As fate would have it have it, Jon was in line right behind me. We struck up a conversation about music that lasted — admittedly with numerous gaps — for nearly 40 years.

Through the next four decades I would run into Jon at concerts, usually right before the music started or immediately afterwards. He’d walk up to me and pick up our chat as if mere minutes (instead of weeks or months) had passed. There was never any small talk, none of the “How-ya-doin?” or “Where-ya-working-now?” stuff. He’d just open with, “Hey, I made you a cassette of my interview with Joey Ramone,” or, “”Hey, have you heard Dee Dee’s rap record?!”

Jon was generous to a fault, always gifting people rare recordings he’d dubbed. He knew what kinds of things intrigued his friends and he was constantly sending emails (and later texts) with links to news stories about our favorite musicians. Turn Jon loose in a new second-hand store, and late that night your iPhone would light up with images of strange foreign releases or odd bootleg albums he’d unearthed, things you immediately just had to have.

He was also one of the most guileless people I’ve ever known. I never heard an uncharitable word cross his lips. Even more remarkable was his incredible memory. He could instantly recall the exact dates and venues where just about any touring band had ever played in Atlanta, even describe their set and tell you who their opening act was! For those of us who dabble in music journalism, this astonishing talent made Jon an incredibly valuable resource, one which — just like his upbeat and tirelessly inquiring personality — will be painfully missed.

As his memorial service (Saturday, January 22) began, an instrumentalist played “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.” The tune struck me hard, personally, because it appears in Sam Peckinpah’s 1962 movie, Ride the High Country, from which my wife and I borrowed the judge’s speech to use in our wedding ceremony. Suddenly it hit me that with Jon’s passing, another huge milestone in my life was being crossed. One thing’s for sure. When that roll is called – “up yonder” or anywhere else — Jon Kincaid will be there.

Jeanne Potter, former staff member, WRFG-FM — Jon Kincaid’s name was synonymous with WREK’s unique music programming and the vibrant local music scene in Atlanta. He was always supporting and promoting local bands on his show “Personality Crisis,” a 10 p.m. Sunday night fixture that became a ritual for many of us. He had a very sly sense of humor, you had to listen carefully to catch some of his joking comments. He was humble and never had that “look at me I’m a DJ” attitude. He was also kind and helped usher many young bands into the Atlanta market and beyond.

Jon used to visit the WRFG studios when Brad Syna was on air and I was waiting for my show to begin. Jon would surprise me with his vast musical knowledge, making me wonder how he fit all that knowledge into one brain. I always learned something and usually we were laughing at the same time. I still see Jon standing to my left in the muted lights of the turntables with this mischievous smile as he entertained us with his stories of his adventures in the local clubs we music nerds inhabited until the sun came up.

Atlanta has truly lost a musical treasure with Jon’s passing. I don’t know of anyone else who can match his knowledge and his generosity. I am sure that where ever he is now, there is DNC on the turntable and laughter.

Of course. I am still trying to grasp the fact that he is no longer here. A loss like this always makes me realize how fragile we all are and how lucky we have all been to experience what we had here in Atlanta.

Doug Hughes, Perimeter Records — I first met Jon Kincaid inside WREK’s air studio in late 1987, recording My Evil Twin for the first Perimeter Christmas cassette. He played my bass and sang, breaking a bass string in the process. Everything Jon did in that band was full on intensity and he displayed that intensity in every live performance. We never took ourselves seriously but Jon relished the opportunity to write and sing lyrics from his ever present lyric notebook. I was amazed by his ability to write lyrics on the spot for whatever song idea we were working on. His knowledge of underground music, his skewed sense of humor, and an uncanny ability to accurately impersonate a variety of people is what I’ll always remember.

Arthur W. Davis, WREK — He did a lot of impersonations. When Jon, Chuck Furlong, and I hosted “The Punk Rock Anarchy Hour,” we’d have celebrity call-ins from Jerry Garcia and the like who were, of course, all Jon. And the three of us would talk like meathead punks over the air. I say that loving punk rock. Anyway, one day I ran into a local record distributor, and we talked about the show. He said, “That was you guys!? I thought it was ‘true punks.’”

“Anarchy Hour” was the show where we broke one of the station’s rules. I think I was Station Manager and Jon was Music Director at the time. So we had to suspend our own show. We gave ourselves a six week suspension and recorded a ridiculous announcement for the suspension each week. Recording those was as much fun as the show!

Chris Mills, filmmaker — I am not sure whether I first met Jon at a record store or a concert. I am sure it was around 1983. I was immediately impressed with how much he knew of DIY/Punk/Indie music, and how enthusiastic he was about it all! It felt like I ran into him at every concert I attended! And he would be intently watching the bands, paying deep attention to every note and lyric. He loved big bold and intense performances.

Pretty much all genres interested him, and he would gleefully share suggestions of who else to listen to if I liked an artist. If a band was playing, he was in the thick of the audience, paying close attention. Seeing music was an eternal adventure for Jon, and he would try to see music every night if possible.

I remember one long weekend of ours, seeing the Ramones (twice) Black Flag and Saccharine Trust, ranging from an Emory ballroom, to the Strand in Marietta, and back downtown to 688. In the midst of it, he interviewed Joey for WREK. With WREK being a bastion of industrial music and avant garde performances, I remember Jon performing at one of Glenn Thrasher and Ellen McGrail’s Destroy All Music festivals with fellow Atlanta radio legend Kim Turner. No matter how many radio shows he DJ’ed, how many concerts he saw, or how many records he heard, he never lost the sense of wonder and fun for original music.

Dugan Trodglen, musician, — Anyone who knew Jon Kincaid knows he is on the rock ’n’ roll heaven guest list.

Fun and emblematic memory: thanks to my (and Jon’s) late friend Thomas Peake, I would occasionally have the pleasure of co-hosting WREK’s Sunday Special, a show focusing on a specific artist. It came on right before Jon’s “Personality Crisis” show, and he would sometimes find a cover of the Sunday Special artist to play on his show. When Thomas and I did a program on saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, I challenged Jon to find a rock band that covered Pharoah. He was already holding a copy of Gun Club’s The Las Vegas Story album, featuring their mini-cover of “The Creator Has A Master Plan.” Respect.

Kim Roberts Cresswell, artist, musician — Saying goodbye to old friends is incredibly heartbreaking. Saying goodbye to Jon Kincaid even more so, because he was always there. Always. At every show I was at. Always writing down details. And always talking about music. If I ever wasn’t sure about a fact, or an event, I could ask Jon. Sometimes we’d talk for hours. Sometimes I would just see him across the room about to head into a show. For a long time, when we first met, I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not, and I was so nervous that I was either bothering him or he just didn’t want to talk, but, then I discovered what a big sweetheart he was. It was always a gift to talk to Jon.

He and I used to debate about each of us being at the first Drivin N Cryin show. He said it was one place and I was certain it was another. We never really finished that debate. It’s okay, because I’m not one hundred percent certain.…

Saying goodbye is always hard. Saying goodbye to Jon is major. He did so, so very much for the Atlanta music scene and beyond. He will always be a legend to me and to so many others. —CL—

  string(7002) "It has been almost eight years since Decatur resident and avid cyclist Greg Germani was viciously run down in a bizarre and horrific road rage incident. Suffering a permanent traumatic brain injury, Germani continues to need 24-7 care and supervision, but has shown some progress in regaining his historically sharp cognitive skills and memory. What hasn’t changed are his physical limitations, and the ongoing need for financial support to provide for his in-home staff, therapy, and medications, as he is also a Type 1 diabetic.

The Atlanta music and cycling communities have been a great source of support for Germani, however the pandemic has curtailed a lot of the activities that previously occurred to raise funds for him. Thankfully, as more people seem to be getting out, despite the threat of the Omicron variant, some of the events are once again being scheduled to offer aid to Germani. The Star Bar in Little Five Points is hosting musical benefit for him Saturday, Feb. 25, featuring local acts the Wheel Knockers, the Mystery Men, and a special appearance by Germani’s California friend, Deke Dickerson.

Dickerson is a well-known musician who both champions the classic country/rockabilly/roots artists of the past, and updates those genres in his own unique and reverent manner. Germani used to frequent many of the popular roots music festivals across America, including “Viva Las Vegas” and the “Rockin’ 50s Fest” in Green Bay, where Dickerson regularly performed. Crossing paths in so many different places around the country, the two struck up a friendship.

In a recent interview, Dickerson discusses how he met Germani, and how their musical tastes are so intertwined. “Oh, I’ve known Greg forever! We originally met each other at various music events across the country. Back then, when you saw the same person at three to four different festivals in different parts of the country, you’d walk up to them and say, ‘Okay, who are YOU, because I think we need to be friends!’ Then I started coming to Atlanta and playing, and my band would always stay at his house.”

Anyone who has ever visited Germani’s home knows exactly where his interests lie. From framed pictures of classic country artists and little person wrestlers, to a massive collection of obscure albums and 45s, and his vintage 50’s furniture, his tastes are obvious. His affinities parallel Dickerson’s love of all things retro, particularly the music. Dickerson notes, “When you stumble across this incredible music, I know that myself and people like Greg simply can’t believe that more people don’t know about it. And when you find something that gives you that much joy, you just want to invite other people to the party, know what I’m saying? There are a lot of us weirdos who get our kicks from vintage music that could be called ‘criminally obscure,’ so getting that music out there and getting other people to tune into your wavelength is a bit of a crusade for people like us.” Germani’s past DJ gigs, his show bookings, and fantastic mix CDs (the best in town!) reflect a similar sense of commitment in spreading the word about the special things he loves. While his ability to organize such events has diminished, his memory and ability to recall and reference information from the past is still impressive.

Rather than grieve his fate, Germani maintains a very positive attitude about life, and maintains good friendships with many people. Although frequent visits have decreased due to the pandemic and Germani’s health concerns, he is always appreciative of those who drop by and hang out on the patio, when weather permits. But the struggle for financial support continues. Even with some government funding, Germani’s required level of care is immense. The original GoFundMe site is still active, and donations can be made at www.gofundme.com/f/greg-germani-give-for-greg .

In a country where there is so much wealth, it is shameful that people like Germani are in such a financial bind. Dickerson has not hesitated to join in on past and the upcoming fundraisers. “Greg is the sort of guy who would do anything for you. I’ve brought this up before when asked, (he’s) just a completely selfless guy. So when something this awful happens to a person like Greg, I don’t even hesitate. I’ve done a few of these for Greg and I’m happy to do as many more as I can. I think everybody feels that way about Greg.”

Discussing the bigger picture, Dickerson questions, “As for the state of healthcare in the USA, boy, where do I start? I’ve been all over the world, and ours is the only country that doesn’t take care of its own people. It’s unimaginable, especially for a nation as rich as the United States is. All over the world, they think we are absolutely crazy, to have people arguing ‘against’ health care. All it takes is one traumatic event, like what Greg went through, to discover how vulnerable we all are — at risk of losing everything with no fault of our own.” Many of us wait for the day when we don’t have to do benefits, fundraisers, or make donations in order to help people with medical needs. But until then, we will.

Joining Dickerson on stage at the Star Bar will be a local pick-up band, consisting of several roots oriented musicians who regularly play at the venue. Asked how he whips them into shape for the show, he says, “Basically I take them to a local sauna and we sit around wearing the towels and drink a Finnish drink called Fisu, which is a highly mentholated drink made from Vodka and dissolved Fisherman’s Friend cough drops. Then, I give them a heart to heart talk about the sacred privilege it is to entertain people, and how we have a responsibility to leave people feeling like they have seen a proper SHOW. They listen to me, and they understand the responsibility. The only thing I can’t get these boys to do is shave, which is why I’ve nicknamed this lineup of the band “The Beard-O-Fonics.”

Music has been a continuous source of comfort for Germani, along with the support and love of his friends and family. Dickerson sums things up in a somewhat nihilistic but optimistic way. “In these post-pandemic times we honestly don’t know how many good times we have left! Come out and celebrate and have a good time. I know that when everything abruptly ‘stopped’ for live music in March 2020, it’s been so traumatic, that I told myself when I get the opportunity again to have fun and play live music again, I wouldn’t take it for granted. Come on out and party with us!” And party we will, safely of course, for Greg Germani.

Deke Dickerson and the Beard-O-Fonics, The Mystery Men?, and the Wheel Knockers. $17.50 adv-$20.00 at the door. 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, Star Community Bar, 437 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307.

Suffering a permanent traumatic brain injury, Germani continues to need 24-7 care and supervision, but has shown some progress in regaining his historically sharp cognitive skills and memory. What hasn’t changed are his physical limitations, and the ongoing need for financial support to provide for his in-home staff, therapy, and medications, as he is also a Type 1 diabetic.

The Atlanta music and cycling communities have been a great source of support for Germani, however the pandemic has curtailed a lot of the activities that previously occurred to raise funds for him. Thankfully, as more people seem to be getting out, despite the threat of the Omicron variant, some of the events are once again being scheduled to offer aid to Germani. The Star Bar in Little Five Points is hosting musical benefit for him Saturday, Feb. 25, featuring local acts the Wheel Knockers, the Mystery Men, and a special appearance by Germani’s California friend, Deke Dickerson.

Dickerson is a well-known musician who both champions the classic country/rockabilly/roots artists of the past, and updates those genres in his own unique and reverent manner. Germani used to frequent many of the popular roots music festivals across America, including “Viva Las Vegas” and the “Rockin’ 50s Fest” in Green Bay, where Dickerson regularly performed. Crossing paths in so many different places around the country, the two struck up a friendship.

In a recent interview, Dickerson discusses how he met Germani, and how their musical tastes are so intertwined. “Oh, I’ve known Greg forever! We originally met each other at various music events across the country. Back then, when you saw the same person at three to four different festivals in different parts of the country, you’d walk up to them and say, ‘Okay, who are YOU, because I think we need to be friends!’ Then I started coming to Atlanta and playing, and my band would always stay at his house.”

Anyone who has ever visited Germani’s home knows exactly where his interests lie. From framed pictures of classic country artists and little person wrestlers, to a massive collection of obscure albums and 45s, and his vintage 50’s furniture, his tastes are obvious. His affinities parallel Dickerson’s love of all things retro, particularly the music. Dickerson notes, “When you stumble across this incredible music, I know that myself and people like Greg simply can’t believe that more people don’t know about it. And when you find something that gives you that much joy, you just want to invite other people to the party, know what I’m saying? There are a lot of us weirdos who get our kicks from vintage music that could be called ‘criminally obscure,’ so getting that music out there and getting other people to tune into your wavelength is a bit of a crusade for people like us.” Germani’s past DJ gigs, his show bookings, and fantastic mix CDs (the best in town!) reflect a similar sense of commitment in spreading the word about the special things he loves. While his ability to organize such events has diminished, his memory and ability to recall and reference information from the past is still impressive.

Rather than grieve his fate, Germani maintains a very positive attitude about life, and maintains good friendships with many people. Although frequent visits have decreased due to the pandemic and Germani’s health concerns, he is always appreciative of those who drop by and hang out on the patio, when weather permits. But the struggle for financial support continues. Even with some government funding, Germani’s required level of care is immense. The original GoFundMe site is still active, and donations can be made at www.gofundme.com/f/greg-germani-give-for-greg .

In a country where there is so much wealth, it is shameful that people like Germani are in such a financial bind. Dickerson has not hesitated to join in on past and the upcoming fundraisers. “Greg is the sort of guy who would do anything for you. I’ve brought this up before when asked, (he’s) just a completely selfless guy. So when something this awful happens to a person like Greg, I don’t even hesitate. I’ve done a few of these for Greg and I’m happy to do as many more as I can. I think everybody feels that way about Greg.”

Discussing the bigger picture, Dickerson questions, “As for the state of healthcare in the USA, boy, where do I start? I’ve been all over the world, and ours is the only country that doesn’t take care of its own people. It’s unimaginable, especially for a nation as rich as the United States is. All over the world, they think we are absolutely crazy, to have people arguing ‘against’ health care. All it takes is one traumatic event, like what Greg went through, to discover how vulnerable we all are — at risk of losing everything with no fault of our own.” Many of us wait for the day when we don’t have to do benefits, fundraisers, or make donations in order to help people with medical needs. But until then, we will.

Joining Dickerson on stage at the Star Bar will be a local pick-up band, consisting of several roots oriented musicians who regularly play at the venue. Asked how he whips them into shape for the show, he says, “Basically I take them to a local sauna and we sit around wearing the towels and drink a Finnish drink called Fisu, which is a highly mentholated drink made from Vodka and dissolved Fisherman’s Friend cough drops. Then, I give them a heart to heart talk about the sacred privilege it is to entertain people, and how we have a responsibility to leave people feeling like they have seen a proper SHOW. They listen to me, and they understand the responsibility. The only thing I can’t get these boys to do is shave, which is why I’ve nicknamed this lineup of the band “The Beard-O-Fonics.”

Music has been a continuous source of comfort for Germani, along with the support and love of his friends and family. Dickerson sums things up in a somewhat nihilistic but optimistic way. “In these post-pandemic times we honestly don’t know how many good times we have left! Come out and celebrate and have a good time. I know that when everything abruptly ‘stopped’ for live music in March 2020, it’s been so traumatic, that I told myself when I get the opportunity again to have fun and play live music again, I wouldn’t take it for granted. Come on out and party with us!” And party we will, safely of course, for Greg Germani.

The annual festival was founded in the year 2000 by the Atlanta Regional Office of American Jewish Committee (AJC), a global advocacy organization that enhances the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel through education, outreach and diplomacy. Through the power and shared experience of cinematic storytelling, AJC and AJFF foster stronger bonds within the Jewish community, and intergroup relations with Atlanta's diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

The Survivor — The Opening Night feature of this year’s AJFF unfolds like a self-conscious hybrid of Raging Bull and Schindler’s List as it depicts an Auschwitz survivor (Ben Foster) who has a post-war American boxer. Like Robert DeNiro’s Jake LaMotta, Foster gives an implosive performance with a striking physical transformation, going from an emaciated prisoner forced to fight other Jews, to a fleshy, self-loathing post-war pugilist. The gravity of the grim material weighs down the narrative without offering new insights, but Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson shows flashes of his 1980s heyday with light-hearted scenes from such supporting players as Danny DeVito and John Leguizamo.

Persian Lessons — This Russian-Belorussian Holocaust drama tells a unique story of a Jewish concentration camp prisoner (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart) who impersonates a Persian, only to be forced by a Nazi officer (Lars Eidinger) to teach him the language he doesn’t speak. The potentially farcical situation turns into a taut cat-and-mouse drama as the prisoner ingeniously crafts fictional vocabulary and the sadistic officer gradually warms to him. Persian Lessons’ subplots track the romances and petty gossip among the German overseers, which have dynamics like a high school run by murderers. Ukranian director Vadim Perelman directs a highlight of this year’s festival.

Plan A — This espionage-style drama begins where many Holocaust films end, as Max (August Diehl), a Jewish camp survivor returns to his home, only to find post-war Germany still rife with anti-Semitism. Max joins a secret group that hunts fugitive Nazis, which then charges him with infiltrating a radical organization that plots a vengeful mass murder. This English-language film from Israeli directors Yoav and Doron Paz features some pedestrian dialogue and storytelling clichés, but Diehl’s powerful performance suggests Christopher Walken at his most haunted.

Women of Valor — The festival’s official Closing Night feature is the North American premiere of Anna Somershaf’s high-impact documentary, depicting how Israeli women are forbidden from holding office in the political parties of the ultra-Orthodox Haredi community. Esty Shushan is one of several activists fighting for democratic representation in the face of conservative opposition, including stalkers in real life and social media. Women of Valor can get lost in the weeds of the political process (at least for an American viewer), but it depicts how the fight for democratic rights is a global struggle. —CL—"

William Eggleston, Jackson Fine Art Gallery — The exhibit “Black and White to Color” showcases William Eggleston’s long career as a Southern pioneer of vibrant color photography depicting commonplace subjects. Using ostensibly simple titles such as “Brown Truck, Red barn” and “Chair, Pink Building,” Williams’ lens captures scenes normally ignored or at least taken for granted and gives them new life. Memphis native Eggleston, 82, has been bestowed a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and the Getty Images Lifetime Achievement Award for turning color photography into a legitimate artistic medium. The late French maestro Henri Cartier-Bresson was his biggest influence, and noted author Eudora Welty called Eggeleston’s aesthetic “extraordinary, compelling, honest, beautiful and unsparing.”

Bright Half Life, Theatrical Outfit — This Theatrical Outfit production chronicles the intense forty-year relationship between two women and its many ups and downs. The mixed-race couple is played by Park Krausen and Candy Mclellan, the only two cast members in the piece, and is directed by Lydia Fort. The play originally ran off-Broadway in 2015; “The red-hot moments that shape the decades of their relationship burst like solar flares throughout the play, erratically filling in the unexplained holes and giving shape to the story before us,” a TheatreMania reviewer proclaimed at the time. The playwright is Tanya Barfield, a former literary manager at Juilliard who has authored ten other plays and occasionally performs a one-woman show. Barfield writes for television as well, most notably “The Americans” and “Here and Now.”

$15.90-$26.50 7:30 p.m. Matinee shows Sat., Sun. Theatrical Outfit, The Balzer Theater at Herren’s, 84 Luckie St., Atlanta 678-528-1500 theatricaloutfit.org @theatricaloutfit

Romeo and Juliet, RoleCall Theater — The first show of this year’s Shakespeare in the Ponce season presents “Romeo and Juliet” indoors at Ponce City Market. Romeo is played by Trevor Poli, whose previous credits include “The Seagull,” “King John,” and “Othello.” Pauline Pauwells plays Juliet, known for commanding no less than four key roles in the RollCall presentation “Booze + Bard: Hamlet.” Other thesps in the play are David Soyka, Elaine Werren, Evan Fields, and the aptly named Jason Hamlet. RoleCall Theater is an independent enterprise producing plays, films, and live acts for stand-up, improvisation and sketch comedy. The company holds open casting calls to which anyone can audition for any role.

Every Brilliant Thing, Horizon Theatre — This play has been described as uplifting, despite its serious subject matter: a boy tries to cheer up his depressed mother by listing all the things that improve the quality of existence. The storyteller will be played by three separate actors - O’Neil Delapenha, Megan Hayes, and Shelby Hofern - on different nights. You might be asked to participate in the narrative if you’re in the audience. “The show is filled with humor, joy, and hope, even though it tackles the very serious topic of mental health and its legacy in a family,” says director Jeff Adler. “Audiences will leave feeling uplifted, more connected to their loved ones, and hopefully appreciative of all the small miracles that make life worth living every day.”

$30-$35. Wed.–Fri., 8 p.m. Sat., 3 p.m. & 8 p.m. Sun., 5 p.m. Horizon Theatre, 1083 Austin Ave. Atlanta 404-584-7450 horizontheatre.com @horizontheatre

Raisin, Southwest Arts Center — It’s 1951 in the Southside of Chicago. A working class Black family loses its patriarch and a $10,000 life insurance windfall throws his widow Lena and son Walter into disarray as each makes different plans for blowing the money. Walter, barely scraping by as a limo driver, wants to buy a liquor store but his mother is against the sale of alcohol on principle; she then decides to move to a house in a white neighborhood, creating a myriad of tensions in itself. It’s a musical adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry’s 1959 Broadway play “A Raisin in the Sun” (which featured Sidney Poitier in the lead) and won multiple awards when it premiered in 1973, including two Tonys. The musical’s book was co-written by Hansberry’s husband Robert Nemiroff with Charlotte Zaltzberg.

__~~#0000ff:William Eggleston, Jackson Fine Art Gallery~~ —__ The exhibit “Black and White to Color” showcases William Eggleston’s long career as a Southern pioneer of vibrant color photography depicting commonplace subjects. Using ostensibly simple titles such as “Brown Truck, Red barn” and “Chair, Pink Building,” Williams’ lens captures scenes normally ignored or at least taken for granted and gives them new life. Memphis native Eggleston, 82, has been bestowed a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and the Getty Images Lifetime Achievement Award for turning color photography into a legitimate artistic medium. The late French maestro Henri Cartier-Bresson was his biggest influence, and noted author Eudora Welty called Eggeleston’s aesthetic “extraordinary, compelling, honest, beautiful and unsparing.”

The mixed-race couple is played by Park Krausen and Candy Mclellan, the only two cast members in the piece, and is directed by Lydia Fort.

Barfield writes for television as well, most notably “The Americans” and “Here and Now.”

Letterkenny Live, The Fox Theatre — Canadian television sitcom Letterkenny goes on the road with nine members of the show’s cast presenting a 90-minute live show of mostly new sketches. The setting is a small town in Ontario whose residents - farmers, druggies, hockey players - “are constantly feuding with each other over seemingly trivial matters, often ending with someone getting their ass kicked,” according to the official synopsis. The face of the character Shoresy, played by Jared Keeso, is never seen on screen, but that didn’t prevent the actor from getting his own eponymous spinoff.

situation in which you tell an ally words similar to what author Jamaica
Kincaid spoke to her lover: "To behold the startling truths of your naked
body frees me to remember the song I was born from." Do you think you can
make that happen, Scorpio? The astrological indicators at play in your life
suggest that it would be right and sacred for you to do so. And if there is
no such ally, then I hope you will deliver the same message to your naked
self. And by the way, what is the song you were born from? (PS: There has
never been a better time than now to learn treasured truths about yourself
through your connections with others.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I'm afraid I must be downright practical and
mundane in my oracle for you. Don't hate me! I'm only reporting what the
planetary omens are telling me. They say that now is a favorable time for
you to practice, practice, and practice some more the fine arts hinted at by
author Ivan Goncharov: "A close, daily intimacy between two people has to be
paid for: It requires a great deal of experience of life, logic, and warmth
of heart on both sides to enjoy each other’s good qualities without being
irritated by each other's shortcomings and blaming each other for them." Be
diligently positive, Sagittarius, as you work through the demanding daily
trials of togetherness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I'll offer you a radical idea about love from
author Hélène Cixous. Although it's not always true for everyone, it will
have special meaning for you in the coming months. She wrote, "It is easy to
love and sing one's love. That is something I am extremely good at doing.
But to be loved, that is true greatness. Being loved, letting oneself be
loved, entering the magic and dreadful circle of generosity, receiving
gifts, finding the right thank-you's, that is love's real work." How about
it, Capricorn? Are you up for the challenge? Are you willing to expand your
capacity to welcome the care and benevolence and inspiration coming your way
from others?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Actor Leelee Sobieski was mourning her romantic
adventures—or rather the lack of romantic adventures. She said, "If only I
could find a guy who wasn't in his 70s to talk to me about white cranes, I'd
be madly in love." The good news is that Sobieski knows *precisely* what she
wants, and it's not all that complicated. The bad news is that there are few
men near her own age (38) who enjoy discussing the fine points of the
endangered bird species known as the white crane. I bring her predicament to
your attention, Aquarius, in the hope that you'll be inspired to be as exact
and lucid as she is in identifying what you want—even as you cheat just a
bit in the direction of wanting what is actually available.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I've never offered you the wisdom of actor
Natalie Portman, but her idealistic attitude about relationships is exactly
what I think you should aspire to in the coming months. She said, "I always
ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for
them to do just to please me? And the answer is no." What do you think,
Pisces? Do you suspect it might be interesting to apply that principle to
your closest alliances? I hope so. If you do, the planetary energies will
conspire to deepen your intimate bonds."

Anita Brookner. "It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare
because most people are strategists." That's the bad news, Aries. The good
news is that you have more potential than ever before to free your love of
strategic maneuvering and manipulation. For the foreseeable future, I invite
you to drop all romantic agendas and simply make yourself extra receptive to
love's teachings. Are you ready to learn what you don't even realize you
need to know?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the near future, I'll be pleased if you dole
out lavish praise to allies who enchant you. I will celebrate if you deliver
loving inspirations and lush invitations to those who help you fulfill your
reasons for being here on the planet. To get you in the mood, here are some
suggested provocations. 1. "Your body makes mine into a shrine; holy,
divine, godtouched." —Ramona Meisel. 2. "Your luster opens glories on my
glowing face." —Federico García Lorca. 3. "All night long if you want. We'll
tell our secrets to the dark." —Gayle Forman. 4. "I'll let you be in my

In the coming days, Gemini, I would love you to engage in similar exchanges
with those you care for. According to my understanding of the astrological
omens, now is a favorable time for you and your best allies to shed all
fakery and pretense so that you may be soulfully authentic with each
other—and encourage each other to express what's most raw and genuine.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Are you in the mood to make extravagant gestures
in behalf of love? Are you feeling an urge to move beyond your habitual
approaches to intimate togetherness as you dare to engage in fun
experiments? Now is a good time for such behavior with allies you trust. To
spur your imagination, immerse yourself in the spirit of this poem by Nizar

body frees me to remember the song I was born from." Do you think you can
make that happen, Scorpio? The astrological indicators at play in your life
suggest that it would be right and sacred for you to do so. And if there is
no such ally, then I hope you will deliver the same message to your naked
self. And by the way, what is the song you were born from? (PS: There has
never been a better time than now to learn treasured truths about yourself
through your connections with others.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I'm afraid I must be downright practical and
mundane in my oracle for you. Don't hate me! I'm only reporting what the
planetary omens are telling me. They say that now is a favorable time for
you to practice, practice, and practice some more the fine arts hinted at by
author Ivan Goncharov: "A close, daily intimacy between two people has to be
paid for: It requires a great deal of experience of life, logic, and warmth
of heart on both sides to enjoy each other’s good qualities without being
irritated by each other's shortcomings and blaming each other for them." Be
diligently positive, Sagittarius, as you work through the demanding daily
trials of togetherness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I'll offer you a radical idea about love from
author Hélène Cixous. Although it's not always true for everyone, it will
have special meaning for you in the coming months. She wrote, "It is easy to
love and sing one's love. That is something I am extremely good at doing.
But to be loved, that is true greatness. Being loved, letting oneself be
loved, entering the magic and dreadful circle of generosity, receiving
gifts, finding the right thank-you's, that is love's real work." How about
it, Capricorn? Are you up for the challenge? Are you willing to expand your
capacity to welcome the care and benevolence and inspiration coming your way
from others?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Actor Leelee Sobieski was mourning her romantic
adventures—or rather the lack of romantic adventures. She said, "If only I
could find a guy who wasn't in his 70s to talk to me about white cranes, I'd
be madly in love." The good news is that Sobieski knows *precisely* what she
wants, and it's not all that complicated. The bad news is that there are few
men near her own age (38) who enjoy discussing the fine points of the
endangered bird species known as the white crane. I bring her predicament to
your attention, Aquarius, in the hope that you'll be inspired to be as exact
and lucid as she is in identifying what you want—even as you cheat just a
bit in the direction of wanting what is actually available.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I've never offered you the wisdom of actor
Natalie Portman, but her idealistic attitude about relationships is exactly
what I think you should aspire to in the coming months. She said, "I always
ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for
them to do just to please me? And the answer is no." What do you think,
Pisces? Do you suspect it might be interesting to apply that principle to
your closest alliances? I hope so. If you do, the planetary energies will
conspire to deepen your intimate bonds.       0,0,10                           FREE WILL ASTROLOGY — Week of February 10 "

Thelma & The Sleaze, Bat Fangs, The EARL — These are the girls your mom warned you about. These are the girls that beat your mom’s ass on the playground in 1975. Thelma & The Sleaze is what Ke$ha was going for when she wrote, “brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack.” This Nashville three-piece sounds like they were plucked straight from a mid-70s biker bar where they were beating up Hell’s Angels and stealing their girlfriends. This is no-holds barred rock n’ roll at its grimiest. Heavy guitar. Growling vocals. In-your-face lyrics. Attitude. All you need to know about Thelma & The Sleaze is that they have albums titled Fuck, Marry, Kill, These Boots Won’t Lick Themselves, and ''Scared as Hell. Hide your kids. Hide your wives.

Kibi James, Benét, Playytime, FRANK/ie CONSENT, 529 Bar — Sometimes you feel the need to support local musicians based off their geography rather than your feelings towards their art. Kibi James is not that kind of Atlanta band. They have a fully formed identity and excellent tunes to match. Azúcar, the group’s first release, is full of color, showcasing a soothing sound that shares DNA with SALES and Banes World. Joining them is Benét, another calming voice whose influence swings more funk and soul, and Playytime, the punk rock curveball to send the crowd into chaos.

Zack Fox, Terminal West — The Internet shit poster turned stand-up comedian turned rapper is heading back to his native land after years of conquering the world by just being his fun ass self. You may not take Zack Fox seriously as a musician. And he probably doesn’t either. He doesn’t seem to take anything too seriously and that is his beauty. After the one-off song, “Square Up,” with Kenny Beats in 2018, Fox landed a viral moment appearing on Kenny’s YouTube series, The Cave, when the two crafted the hilarious “Jesus Is the One (I Got Depression).” If you have not heard this song before, please go and listen to it. Fox laments about crashing a car into a white-owned business, committing tax fraud, dipping his balls into thousand island dressing, and shouting out mental illness. This humor permeates throughout his debut project, shut the fuck up talking to me, but with clearer song structure and loads more effort. How will Zack Fox’s many mediums present itself in a live performance? I have no idea. And that is what makes it exciting. “R.I.P. Betty White.”

GLOVE, Mattiel (DJ Set) | TWINS / That Which Is Not Said, 529 Bar — GLOVE is Central Florida’s only hope. Being a lifelong resident of that unbridled hellscape, I can attest to the struggle of being an artist in Central Florida. Scenes come in waves, have strong presence for a year or two and then die off, usually due to lack of interest or one of the main proprietors moving to greener pastures. GLOVE has done the near impossible. They have managed to stay in their native Tampa—drummer/vocalist Brie Deux owns a lovely vintage boutique there—while touring with larger acts like White Reaper and The Districts, playing the large stages of Shaky Knees and Lollapalooza, and cultivating their own fanbase. And how could a band with this much personality not? Their sound fuses post-punk, synth wave, and art rock into an amalgamation that sounds both fresh and classic. Each of the band members take their turn in the spotlight, trading vocal duties from song to song. Sometimes, bass player Justin Burns — from my hometown, Orlando — will croon a la Joy Division’s Ian Curtis. Other times, the aforementioned Brie Deux will step out from behind the drums and deliver a furious performance in the vain of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O. But no matter who is at the microphone, GLOVE delivers. See this band before the price of admission goes up.

Washed Out, The Eastern — I first experienced a Washed Out live show in the most ideal circumstance. It was a beautifully hot summer day at Bonnaroo music festival, and I was laying under a shady tree surrounded by the people closest to me. From a nearby stage, a psychedelic wave washed over the crowd. Whether you knew the music or not, you could not help but be transfixed by the moment. And what makes the chillwave sounds of Washed Out special, is that no matter the setting, his music transports you to a similar place of peace. The everyday problems of life fall away and for a moment, you only exist in a soothing shower of bright keyboards and echoed vocals.

Dorian Electra, The Masquerade — The kids sure have been talking a lot about hyperpop lately, haven’t they? If you are not permanently online like myself or the legion of zoomers barking about this stuff, than you may not even be familiar with this new genre or one of its most prominent torch-bearers, Dorian Electra. Allow me to explain. Hyperpop is pop music, oftentimes played at high rpms, that is blindingly bright, showered in vocal effects, and exists in a semi-cringe, online ecosystem. See:  Dorian Electra. Songs like “M’Lady” and “Edgelord” poke fun at the shitty man-children of Reddit through computerized singing, while pounding you over the head with industrial beats. Elsewhere, “Career Boy” and “Man to Man” callback to shimmery 80s synth pop, but with modern takes on gender and masculinity. Dorian themselves identify as genderfluid and, through their music, create a space where internet folk, queer and not, can embrace themselves cringe and all.

Deafheaven, The Masquerade — Deafheaven will be the loudest concert you have ever been to. They only circumstance where I can recommend you not wear hearing protection to this show is if you have a major earwax clog causing you hearing loss that you want the bands wall of noise to chip a way at. Having experienced the San Francisco black metal band myself, I can say that in no way was their pounding sound made worse by two pieces of foam in my ears. It has been sometime since their breakout with 2013’s Sunbather—and on the band’s latest release they dramatically  diminished the screaming vocals—but there is no doubt in my mind that Deafheaven have only gotten louder in a live setting.

Thelma & The Sleaze, Bat Fangs, The EARL — These are the girls your mom warned you about. These are the girls that beat your mom’s ass on the playground in 1975. Thelma & The Sleaze is what Ke$ha was going for when she wrote, “brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack.” This Nashville three-piece sounds like they were plucked straight from a mid-70s biker bar where they were beating up Hell’s Angels and stealing their girlfriends. This is no-holds barred rock n’ roll at its grimiest. Heavy guitar. Growling vocals. In-your-face lyrics. Attitude. All you need to know about Thelma & The Sleaze is that they have albums titled Fuck, Marry, Kill, These Boots Won’t Lick Themselves, and ''Scared as Hell. Hide your kids. Hide your wives.

Kibi James, Benét, Playytime, FRANK/ie CONSENT, 529 Bar — Sometimes you feel the need to support local musicians based off their geography rather than your feelings towards their art. Kibi James is not that kind of Atlanta band. They have a fully formed identity and excellent tunes to match. Azúcar, the group’s first release, is full of color, showcasing a soothing sound that shares DNA with SALES and Banes World. Joining them is Benét, another calming voice whose influence swings more funk and soul, and Playytime, the punk rock curveball to send the crowd into chaos.

Zack Fox, Terminal West — The Internet shit poster turned stand-up comedian turned rapper is heading back to his native land after years of conquering the world by just being his fun ass self. You may not take Zack Fox seriously as a musician. And he probably doesn’t either. He doesn’t seem to take anything too seriously and that is his beauty. After the one-off song, “Square Up,” with Kenny Beats in 2018, Fox landed a viral moment appearing on Kenny’s YouTube series, The Cave, when the two crafted the hilarious “Jesus Is the One (I Got Depression).” If you have not heard this song before, please go and listen to it. Fox laments about crashing a car into a white-owned business, committing tax fraud, dipping his balls into thousand island dressing, and shouting out mental illness. This humor permeates throughout his debut project, shut the fuck up talking to me, but with clearer song structure and loads more effort. How will Zack Fox’s many mediums present itself in a live performance? I have no idea. And that is what makes it exciting. “R.I.P. Betty White.”

GLOVE, Mattiel (DJ Set) | TWINS / That Which Is Not Said, 529 Bar — GLOVE is Central Florida’s only hope. Being a lifelong resident of that unbridled hellscape, I can attest to the struggle of being an artist in Central Florida. Scenes come in waves, have strong presence for a year or two and then die off, usually due to lack of interest or one of the main proprietors moving to greener pastures. GLOVE has done the near impossible. They have managed to stay in their native Tampa—drummer/vocalist Brie Deux owns a lovely vintage boutique there—while touring with larger acts like White Reaper and The Districts, playing the large stages of Shaky Knees and Lollapalooza, and cultivating their own fanbase. And how could a band with this much personality not? Their sound fuses post-punk, synth wave, and art rock into an amalgamation that sounds both fresh and classic. Each of the band members take their turn in the spotlight, trading vocal duties from song to song. Sometimes, bass player Justin Burns — from my hometown, Orlando — will croon a la Joy Division’s Ian Curtis. Other times, the aforementioned Brie Deux will step out from behind the drums and deliver a furious performance in the vain of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O. But no matter who is at the microphone, GLOVE delivers. See this band before the price of admission goes up.

Washed Out, The Eastern — I first experienced a Washed Out live show in the most ideal circumstance. It was a beautifully hot summer day at Bonnaroo music festival, and I was laying under a shady tree surrounded by the people closest to me. From a nearby stage, a psychedelic wave washed over the crowd. Whether you knew the music or not, you could not help but be transfixed by the moment. And what makes the chillwave sounds of Washed Out special, is that no matter the setting, his music transports you to a similar place of peace. The everyday problems of life fall away and for a moment, you only exist in a soothing shower of bright keyboards and echoed vocals.

Dorian Electra, The Masquerade — The kids sure have been talking a lot about hyperpop lately, haven’t they? If you are not permanently online like myself or the legion of zoomers barking about this stuff, than you may not even be familiar with this new genre or one of its most prominent torch-bearers, Dorian Electra. Allow me to explain. Hyperpop is pop music, oftentimes played at high rpms, that is blindingly bright, showered in vocal effects, and exists in a semi-cringe, online ecosystem. See:  Dorian Electra. Songs like “M’Lady” and “Edgelord” poke fun at the shitty man-children of Reddit through computerized singing, while pounding you over the head with industrial beats. Elsewhere, “Career Boy” and “Man to Man” callback to shimmery 80s synth pop, but with modern takes on gender and masculinity. Dorian themselves identify as genderfluid and, through their music, create a space where internet folk, queer and not, can embrace themselves cringe and all.

Deafheaven, The Masquerade — Deafheaven will be the loudest concert you have ever been to. They only circumstance where I can recommend you not wear hearing protection to this show is if you have a major earwax clog causing you hearing loss that you want the bands wall of noise to chip a way at. Having experienced the San Francisco black metal band myself, I can say that in no way was their pounding sound made worse by two pieces of foam in my ears. It has been sometime since their breakout with 2013’s Sunbather—and on the band’s latest release they dramatically  diminished the screaming vocals—but there is no doubt in my mind that Deafheaven have only gotten louder in a live setting.

!!__Daily Chew__
My favorite lunch in the last month came from this restaurant operated by the zen-nishly named Stop Think Chew, which delivers clean, locally sourced meals. At this new venue, diners can order at a window for takeout or enjoy the recently opened dining room. It’s a cozy informal space with full table service. I’ve sampled two dishes and both were seriously spectacular. One was a pita sandwich stuffed with veriasso smoked salmon with lemon labneh (thick yogurt). Other flavors included onions, capers, dill, sumac, and salad greens. The second dish was a roasted veggie salad (to which I pointlessly added rotisserie chicken). Flavors include salad greens, tahini, cabbage, hummus, pickles, and charred eggplant, which never tasted so good before. — Cliff Bostock

!!__Nam Phuong__
Vietnamese food is flourishing to a degree it hasn’t since the early ‘80s. Recently, restaurants like Pho Cue have taken the historic, elegant hybrid of Southeast Asian and French cuisine for a ride through Texas bbq pits. If you want to stay true to the original, Nam Phuong is the place to go. At least twice a month, I feast on classic rice noodles topped with shrimp, caramelized pork, pickled carrots, and lettuce. Dump the entire container of fish sauce on the bowl. (I add extra sriracha.) Two spring rolls round out my meal. There is much, much more on the menu. — Cliff Bostock

!!__El Tesoro__
Few restaurants have eased the pain of COVID takeout as much as this treasure. There is no indoor seating, but even in winter, people are showing up to graze in the huge open-air dining room. Tequila raises the temperature as much as the six fire pits. I’ve never eaten anything bad here but, then, I haven’t eaten anything but the mulita in the last year or so. It’s basically a quesadilla made of two stacked corn tortillas filled with melted cheese and poblano/onion rajas, plus the meat or vegetarian alternative of your choice. There’s more! The outside of both tortillas is seared with cheese. Then you dribble crema on top. It’s under $10! There’s a lot else I’d like to try here, above all the appropriately twice-cooked carnitas. — Cliff Bostock

!!__BoccaLupo__
If there’s any restaurant I love that I have been unfaithful to during the last few years, this is it. Chef-owner Bruce Logue reeducated my palate around 2010 when he came from Babbo in New York to work at La Pietra Cucina. He convinced me that Italian-American food was not all a corrupt impersonation of classic Italian cooking but a cuisine of its own. I ate lunch at Pietra weekly for two years. Nothing at BoccaLupo is even mediocre but if you want your tongue to sing, drape it with black spaghetti, hot Calabrese sausage, and red shrimp. You might want to tune up first with marsala glazed octopus with saffron potatoes. — Cliff Bostock

!!__Masterpiece__
You might remember the War of 10,000 Chinese Chefs about 10 years ago, maybe more. Chefs of legendary skill, fame, and peculiarity appeared and disappeared here like tastebuds poisoned by Sichuan peppercorns. Luckily, Rui Liu, a truly extraordinary chef of mainly Sichuan style, has remained at this restaurant. I’m sorry that it’s located in Duluth, but it’s worth an expedition. Whenever you read about the place, two dishes are immediately mentioned — the dry-fried eggplant and the braised pork belly. The latter comes to the table looking something like a glossy black meatloaf and really does taste like nothing you’ve ever eaten, which is to say that I don’t have adequate adjectives at hand. The eggplant is no silly emoji, but it has all the polarized textures and flavors of man at his complicated best: crackly and a bit salty on the outside but lovingly creamy and a bit fiery-sweet on the inside. Yup. — Cliff Bostock

I want you to go here, as I did last year. I was shocked that I loved the onion rings and the fried peach pie. I hated the dawgs and I annoyed someone so much that he sent me an emailed death threat: “Leave the Varsity hot dog alone, asshole. There are more painful ways to put you out of your misery than making you shit too much.” Thanks, bro, I ‘preciate the scatological warnings! I had written: “The hot dog of course was the most revolting thing I’ve put in my mouth since I was potty-trained. The greasy, stinky, yellow-stained chili made with ground-up mystery meat was slimed with hidden slaw from hell and yellow cheese that wouldn’t melt. Somehow, the baloney-tasting hot dog itself and its bun literally broke as if it were crying to be put out of its misery. Two bites and I was done. Sorry, dog.” Go, eat, and tell me I was wrong. — Cliff Bostock

!!__Little Bear __
When COVID ruined our lives by throwing us into a medieval prison of our own thoughts two years ago, this restaurant had just opened in Summerhill.  Chef/owner Jarrett Stieber, well known for his earlier pop-up, Eat Me Speak Me, was forced to limit himself to take-out, which was by far the best and weirdest I’ve eaten ever since the flu pandemic of 1918. Now, the restaurant has reopened its small dining room, takeout has been discontinued, and you can eat at a table like a champ! At this writing, you’ll encounter dishes whose menu descriptions add up to a free-form poetic food fight: “chicken liver custard winter citrus gelee, greasy pickles, chocolate strange flavor sauce, gem lettuce cups.” Go ahead and “treat yo’self! Add caviar yogurt” to your root-veg latke. You can order a la carte or drop $48 per person for a prix fixe, four-course meal. — Cliff Bostock

!!__Supremo Taco__
This taqueria with a walk-up window and a small patio for dining-while-standing is adjacent to  Grindhouse Killer Burgers’ parking lot. You probably didn’t know there is intense competition in our city — sort of — to create a perfect rendition of southern California’s Chicano street food. This is the winner! I absolutely love the tacos here, especially the lamb barbacoa with consommé, the al pastor, and the chicken mole. But I gotta be honest. I made a pact with myself after ordering takeout four or five times to always eat on the premises, even if it meant squatting in the parking lot. The reason is that they were  piling way too much in the same takeout containers. By the time I’d get home — which isn’t far — I’d have a gooey mess. On the very rare occasion I do takeout, I order the fried quesadilla or choriqueso only, maybe some churros. They withstand the journey. Above all, I discourage you from ordering online, because you likely won’t be getting something as fresh as when you order at the window. — Cliff Bostock

!!__Chattahoochee Food Works__
Food halls, formerly known as food courts, have evolved into something like surreal upscale carnival binge-a-ramas. This latest and greatest is part of The Works, a warehouse development on the West Side, repurposed into another mixed-use golden ghetto. The food hall, with seriously pedigreed designers, maintains a human scale despite its 22,000 square feet. It is a step way above the echo chambers of the Valhallas of Krog Street and Ponce de Leon. You can find some fab food here — from South African and Vietnamese to noodles, cupcakes, and Lebanese barbecue. There are 31 booths and areas that allow you to sit back and chill instead of wolfing down, oh, six kimchi corn dogs and fleeing to a restroom for a moment of silence.—Cliff Bostock

For years, I’ve been addicted to the Toffee-Coffee Arctic Swirl at most Zestos. Now, at last, I have found an alternative in Grant Park. Big Softie! True story: I heard about it from a friend’s mother who was dying in a hospital north of the city. She said soft-serve ice cream would be a perfect last meaI and I offered to pick up something rich, creamy, cold, and confusing. She swooned — in a good way, not a death-rattle way. My go to: vanilla ice cream, pink praline, toasted coconut, and a caramel coating — Cliff Bostock

The Staves, Terminal West — These three UK based sisters harmonize like, well, sisters, combining folksy influences with pop that’s more brooding than fizzy. That’s especially the case on their new Good Woman disc, a somber and pensive yet tuneful set imbued with melancholy due in part to the death of their mother. They’re talented enough to have caught the ear of Paul Weller, who featured them on his recent album, and First Aid Kit, another band of sisters they opened for. They’re on their way to bigger things. — Hal Horowitz

Raekwon, Ghostface Killah & GZA, The Tabernacle — Whenever music legends go on tour, it’s our responsibility to muster up however much cash is necessary to see them in person — especially when they are original members of the iconic Wu-Tang Clan. This month, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and GZA are bringing all of their classic songs to the Tabernacle for the 3 Chambers Tour, and although their respective landmark albums Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, Ironman, and Liquid Swords all celebrated their 25-year-anniversaries in either 2020 or 2021, there’s no better way to honor those classic albums by seeing the emcees behind them live.

Fireboy DML, Buckhead Theatre —  Wizkid and Tems’ “Essence” may have been one of the most infectious songs of 2021, but they were far from the only breakout singers from Nigeria last year. Rising artist Fireboy DML — who is known for his globally successful debut album Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps— similarly saw an increase in stardom after dropping his sophomore album Apollo near the end of 2020. The next several months found Fireboy DML in a position to work with artists such as Jackboy, D Smoke, Nigerian-American singer (and Power alum) Rotimi, and even Ed Sheeran. Now the international superstar is bringing his talents to the Buckhead Theatre for what’s sure to be a soulful and rhythmic prelude to Valentine’s Day.

Featuring performances from New Edition, Charlie Wilson, and Jodeci, the 30-city tour is an 80s and 90s R&B lover’s dream, and just days after kicking off in Columbus, The Culture Tour will return to Georgia for a highly anticipated show at State Farm Arena.

Wale, The Eastern — Wale was originally scheduled to hit the city on MLK Day, but in response to the surge in COVID-19 cases at the top of the year, his Under a Blue Moon Tour was pushed back a couple of weeks. While many of his North American tour dates were only delayed by a handful of days, the Atlanta stop was rescheduled well over a month later on March 3, but that just gives listeners more time to get familiar with Wale’s seventh studio album, Folarin II. Released last fall, the DMV-bred rapper’s album is a confident and skillful effort that features guest appearances from artists such as J. Cole, Rick Ross, Maxo Kream, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, and Ant Clemons, among many others. The Maybach Music Group (MMG) artist is known for putting on a great show, so get ready to see Wale bring Folarin II to life when he hits the Eastern next month.

__Cordae, Heaven at Masquerade — __At the height of its run in 2018, the YBN collective — which consisted of YNB Nahmir, Cordae, and Almighty Jae — was slated to take over the Masquerade’s largest venue, but recording schedule conflicts and internal rifts led to the concert being indefinitely postponed. Nearly four years later, Cordae is finally throwing a show in Heaven, but this time around, it will just be him and the music. Since his solo breakout year in 2019 with his debut album ''The Lost Boy'', the former YBN rapper has built a reputation as a respected lyricist and an outspoken activist. At the 2020 GRAMMY©  Awards, Cordae was nominated for two Grammys — Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song — and although he left the ceremony without a gramophone trophy, Cordae became the people’s champion months later after being arrested during a peaceful Breonna Taylor protest in Louisville, Kentucky. Add in a highly publicized relationship with world-renowned professional tennis player Naomi Osaka and it’s easy to understand Cordae’s newfound celebrity, yet with the release of his sophomore album ''From a Birds Eye View'' last month, all attention is currently on his new music.

__Flo Milli, Kali & Dess Dior, Buckhead Theatre — __ As evidenced by the record-breaking number of women featured on last summer’s ''XXL'' freshman cover, the popularity of female rap is at an all-time high, and this month, Flo Milli — one of 2021 XXL freshmen — is teaming up with Kali and Dess Dior for the three-date Girls Just Wanna Have Fun tour. After knocking out two shows in Texas, the trio of femcees will conclude their short run with a Valentine’s Day show at the Buckhead Theatre. If you aren’t yet familiar with Flo Milli, Kali, and Dess Dior, their Atlanta show is your chance to see why they are three of the most promising female voices in Southern Hip-Hop.

__Summer Walker, Coca-Cola Roxy — __Approximately two years after the release of her lauded debut album ''Over It'', Summer Walker returned with another big hit in the form of ''Still Over It'' — a critically acclaimed sophomore record that explored topics such as heartbreak, infidelity, and motherhood. The overwhelmingly positive reception to the LVRN artist’s latest release has easily translated to ticket sales, too. The original one-night-only show she had at the Coca-Cola Roxy on February 18 sold out so quickly that a second night was added on the 19th. Considering that she is an artist who typically shies away from touring and performing due to her social anxiety, the upcoming shows at The Battery are two rare opportunities for anyone who hasn’t yet heard Summer Walk sing live.

__New Edition, Charlie Wilson & Jodeci, State Farm Arena — __ Since its inception towards the end of the last decade, The Millennium Tour has been packing out arenas across the nation with hardcore fans of 2000s R&B and Hip-Hop, but this month, one tour is hoping to out-do The Millennium by taking R&B fans even farther back in time — The Culture Tour. Featuring performances from New Edition, Charlie Wilson, and Jodeci, the 30-city tour is an 80s and 90s R&B lover’s dream, and just days after kicking off in Columbus, The Culture Tour will return to Georgia for a highly anticipated show at State Farm Arena.

__Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, Boldly James & The Alchemist, The Tabernacle — __ Save for a few deep cuts from Domo Genesis and The Alchemist during the early 2010s,Action Bronson and Earl Sweatshirt don’t have a lot of music together, but that isn’t stopping the peculiar duo from hitting the road for a 15-date tour across North America. Titled the ÑBA Leather Tour, Action Bronson and Earl Sweatshirt’s latest trek arrives a year and a half after the former’s eclectic 2020 album ''Only For Dolphins'' and just months after the release of the latter’s pithy new record ''SICK!''. Boldly James and The Alchemist — who is one of the go-to producers for all three of the aforementioned artists — will also be joining Earl and Bronsolino on the ÑBA Leather Tour is The Alchemist, so if you’re a fan of underground, avant-garde, and lo-fi rap, check them out when they hit the Tabernacle later this month.

__Aminé, The Tabernacle — __Like every other major label artist who released music in 2020, Aminé was unable to tour in support of his last album — the amazingly succinct ''Limbo'' — but that hasn’t stopped him from embarking on both a North American tour with over 30 dates and a 17-date European tour in 2022. Billed as “The Best Tour Ever Tour,” the Portland, Oregon-born artist’s upcoming trek has a big name to live up to, but if the experimental approach to his recent ''TWOPOINTFIVE'' EP is any indicator, Aminé’s Atlanta show on February 24 should be one of the most vibrant and imaginative concerts this month.

__Wale, The Eastern — __Wale was originally scheduled to hit the city on MLK Day, but in response to the surge in COVID-19 cases at the top of the year, his Under a Blue Moon Tour was pushed back a couple of weeks. While many of his North American tour dates were only delayed by a handful of days, the Atlanta stop was rescheduled well over a month later on March 3, but that just gives listeners more time to get familiar with Wale’s seventh studio album, ''Folarin II''. Released last fall, the DMV-bred rapper’s album is a confident and skillful effort that features guest appearances from artists such as J. Cole, Rick Ross, Maxo Kream, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, and Ant Clemons, among many others. The Maybach Music Group (MMG) artist is known for putting on a great show, so get ready to see Wale bring ''Folarin II'' to life when he hits the Eastern next month.

Raekwon, Ghostface Killah & GZA, The Tabernacle — Whenever music legends go on tour, it’s our responsibility to muster up however much cash is necessary to see them in person — especially when they are original members of the iconic Wu-Tang Clan. This month, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and GZA are bringing all of their classic songs to the Tabernacle for the 3 Chambers Tour, and although their respective landmark albums Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, Ironman, and Liquid Swords all celebrated their 25-year-anniversaries in either 2020 or 2021, there’s no better way to honor those classic albums by seeing the emcees behind them live.

Fireboy DML, Buckhead Theatre —  Wizkid and Tems’ “Essence” may have been one of the most infectious songs of 2021, but they were far from the only breakout singers from Nigeria last year. Rising artist Fireboy DML — who is known for his globally successful debut album Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps— similarly saw an increase in stardom after dropping his sophomore album Apollo near the end of 2020. The next several months found Fireboy DML in a position to work with artists such as Jackboy, D Smoke, Nigerian-American singer (and Power alum) Rotimi, and even Ed Sheeran. Now the international superstar is bringing his talents to the Buckhead Theatre for what’s sure to be a soulful and rhythmic prelude to Valentine’s Day.

CONCEPTION ema.carr (Ema Carr) 2022-02-03T22:42:00+00:00 What’s hot in the A this winter? Vaccines, boosters and flu shots are all the rage. They pair great with public gatherings, family get togethers, the workplace and all public spaces ITP. Unless you find yourself in the wild north west of “Buckhead City,” where they live by their own set of rules. To be safe, check COVID deets on websites before attending anything below, as we know shit is constantly “subject to change” these days.

Wanna be a good person today? Do you have five minutes or less to go to cannabisincommon.org? Simply put in your zip and the site will call down the list of your Congresspersons. Leave voice messages, bc we know they never answer, politely reminding them that Americans have one thing overwhelming in common, ending cannabis prohibition. No doubt these politicians are spending the majority of their time worrying about reelection, so remind them who they work. At the time this column was published, Nikema Williams, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff had yet to respond to inquiries re: marijuana reform. Get on them, y’all! Bc we got bigger problems than weed these days!

Cute pandemic trends to keep: sanitizer everywhere, six-foot minimum personal space, masks, everything cashless and delivered and WFH! Can’t do needles? Keep that mask on, honeypot. For those who are ready to step out, read on for The Move.

  string(12163) "While we are a month in to the New Year, it has been a rocky start. The Omicron variant put the brakes on live show momentum, specifically with the cancelation/rescheduling of major concerts, including the Indigo Girls’ two night stand with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra New Year’s Eve (moved to the same dates in 2022) and Widespread Panic’s four night Fox Theatre stand (pushed to August, 2022).

Nonetheless, it looks like it will take more than a pandemic to stop two of the city’s high profile roots acts from doing their life’s work recording music and  — hopefully — touring behind it. Longtime Atlanta favorites Tinsley Ellis and Michelle Malone both have new discs rolling out.

Ellis just released Devil May Care, his 20th recording, the end of January, and kicked off his first major tour since early 2020 at Atlanta’s City Winery. The 10 tracks, co-produced by the blues rocking guitar trouper and longtime cohort/keyboardist Kevin McKendree, stay the course for the rugged Southern-styled rock he is known for. A small horn section appears on three tunes bringing extra soul to the proceedings.

Malone recently sent out emails teasing two forthcoming CDs, both due out Spring 2022 — a new album of originals titled 1977 (the year she started playing guitar) and Fan Favorites Unplugged Vol. 2. Both can be ordered in advance on her website www.michellemalone.com and will be covered in this column later this year.

In September of 2021, Diane Durrett put out her first fresh music in a while. Co-credited to her longtime Soul Suga outfit, the self-produced and engineered Put a Lid on It EP finds the singer/guitarist in full R&B diva mode. Her sumptuous blue-eyed soul, gospel influenced vocals enliven eight terrific, radio friendly tunes that reference her blues roots, pushing them toward frisky, rootsy pop.

Show some Valentine’s Day love by supporting these Blues & Beyond February events.

!!Sat. Feb. 12
Rebecca Loebe, Eddie’s Attic — Raised in Atlanta, the Berklee College of Music graduate has since relocated to Austin, TX, most recently working with peers Grace Pettis and Betty Soo in the well regarded Nobody’s Girl outfit. She returns to her old stomping grounds for a solo show which will likely feature some NG material, as well as songs from 2019’s folk/pop gem Give up Your Ghosts

$18. 7 p.m. Eddie’s Attic, 515-B N. McDonough St., Decatur, 30030. eddiesattic.com 

!!Mon., Feb. 14
Drew & Ellie Holcomb, Symphony Hall — What better way to spend Valentine’s Day than with this married musical twosome? Drew is well known for his Neighbors band and wife Ellie made her name in the Christian music community. Together their sympathetic voices and cushy soft folk/rock combine for a synergetic, and sure, romantic combination intended to get couples in the crowd warmed up for some post-show fireworks.

$56-335. 7:30 p.m. Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, 30309.aso.org/

!!Tue., Feb. 15
The Staves, Terminal West — These three UK based sisters harmonize like, well, sisters, combining folksy influences with pop that’s more brooding than fizzy. That’s especially the case on their new Good Woman disc, a somber and pensive yet tuneful set imbued with melancholy due in part to the death of their mother. They’re talented enough to have caught the ear of Paul Weller, who featured them on his recent album, and First Aid Kit, another band of sisters they opened for. They’re on their way to bigger things.

$20-22. 8:00 p.m. Terminal West, 887 West Marietta St. NW C, Atlanta, 30318. terminalwestatl.com/

!!Fri. Feb. 18
Randall Bramblett Band, Red Clay Theater — Multi-instrumentalist and potent singer/songwriter Bramblett has never attained the popularity he deserves, starting with his work in Sea Level and continuing through a batch of terrific solo albums, each better than the last. Pine Needle Fire, his latest from 2020, is another highlight in a catalog filled with them. And even though he plays here often, he always impresses with how deep his talent as a soulful, introspective Southern rocker runs. This intimate venue is one of his favorite places and a perfect one to appreciate highlights from a lifetime of extraordinary work.

$20-24. 8:00 p.m. Red Clay Music Foundry, 3116 Main St, Duluth, 30096. eddieowenpresents.com/

The Punch Brothers, Tabernacle — Even if virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile (ex-Nickel Creek) wasn’t hosting the weekly PBS show,Live From Here , this would be a wildly popular concert. His Punch Brothers band has been a top bluegrass act since their 2008 debut, and has only increased in popularity since, making them one of the most critically and commercially successful acts in that genre.  Their new Hell on Church Street collection was released last month; expect plenty of new songs mixed with highlights from the group’s previous five albums.

$29.50-179. 8:00 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com/

!!Tue., Feb. 22
Supersuckers/Jesse Dayton, The Masquerade — Both are headliners, so this combination of the veteran Eddie Spaghetti fronted Supersuckers’ tough punk/garage country and the multi-talented Dayton’s (musician, DJ, recent author) raw, roots music is a natural pairing of like-minded gruff Americana troupers.  A closing rave-up with both on stage tearing it up is likely, but either act is well worth the admission price on its own. 

$16. 8:00 p.m. The Masquerade/Hell, 75 Martine Luther King Dr. SW, Atlanta, 30303.masqueradeatlanta.com/

Tower of Power, Variety Playhouse — Of course the members have changed over the decades (few could name the many lead singers who have joined and left their ranks), but the iconic San Francisco horn funk/soul band has already passed the 50th anniversary mark and shows no signs of slowing down. You’ll get timeless classics like “What Is Hip?” and “Knock Yourself Out” but even the less popular material connects live when co-founder/baritone sax player Doc Kupka gets to dancing. No one leaves without a goofy smile plastered on their face, reason enough to see these guys before they call it a day.

$38.50. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

!!Wed., Feb. 23
Elle King, Variety Playhouse — King may be considered the Chrissie Hynde of country rockers; a rugged, no-nonsense singer/songwriter grinding out punchy, unfiltered, gutsy rock and twang, heavy on the former but with just enough of the latter to keep her within spitting distance of the Americana genre. She’s a “Baby Outlaw” as one of her song titles suggests, but with only two albums of material, and nothing new in the past three years, it’ll be interesting to see if she can stay the course and remain as rough, tough and bone-rattling as she has been so far. 

$32.50-59. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

!!Fri., Feb. 25
Brent Cobb/Gabe Lee, City Winery — Georgia born and raised Americana singer/songwriter Cobb comes home with a tour named When It’s My Time after a track on his new gospel release And Now, Let’s Turn the Page…. The songs emerged from a July 2020 near death car accident. He learned many of them in the church of his Ellaville turf so this date brings him full circle, although some of his arrangements rock way harder than you’d expect. Arrive early for Lee who wowed the crowd with a stripped down set on a recent opening slot for Jason Isbell.

$45-60. 7:00 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Ave. NE., Atlanta, 30308. citywinery.com/Atlanta

Brett Dennen, Variety Playhouse — The fresh faced, gangly (six-foot, five) Dennen’s folk/pop is as sunny and upbeat as his California home state’s usually temperate weather. An earnest singer/songwriter with an amiable voice, Dennen writes catchy, yet organic soft rock tunes. He has been cranking out albums since 2005 in a low key Tom Petty way, albeit without Petty’s rock and roll bona fides. He’s accrued a significant following over the years, Dennen doing it the old fashioned way, hitting the road, playing for whoever will listen, and being fortunate enough to compose music affable enough to be used in network television shows.

$22-49. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

!!Fri., Feb. 25-Sat. Feb. 26
Greensky Bluegrass/Infamous Stringdusters, Tabernacle — It’s a bluegrass lover’s dream as two of the top purveyors of the genre combine for a show guaranteed to please anyone who follows this music. Both have pushed the boundaries of this traditional mountain sound, but maintain strong connections to its roots. They have plenty of miles under them, with Greensky’s debut arriving in 2004 and the Stringdusters’ appearing in 2007, and a closing jam is likely, which should be a rollicking string picker’s hoedown.

$33-57.50. 7:30 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com/

!!Sat., Feb. 26
Neal Francis, Terminal West — Blue-eyed soulster Francis started his career backing up blues players, but quickly shifted his to a more classic R&B approach. His 2019 debut made a substantial splash, followed by a more slickly produced 2021 release, In Plain Sight, which added some Southern rock influences. He is part of a popular retro soul revival, similar to other acts like Aaron Frazer, Kelly Finnigan and Eli “Paperboy” Reed. Francis records for the Karma Chief label which, along with Daptone, has successfully brought this retro styled music to contemporary audiences.

$20-22. 8:00 p.m. Terminal West, 887 West Marietta St. NW C, Atlanta, 30318. terminalwestatl.com/

!!Thu., March 3
Al Stewart, City Winery — Everyone knows “Year of the Cat” and “Time Passages” from his mid-70’s heyday, but Brit folk-rocker Stewart, who tours with his Empty Pockets band, has never stopped releasing albums on a semi-regular schedule through the early ‘00s, many with a historical bent. He is pushing 80 but his voice hasn’t aged a day. The band will rock out more than you’d expect and the less popular new music is nearly as enticing as those old hits.
$45-60. 8:00 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Ave. NE., Atlanta, 30308. citywinery.com/Atlanta

!!Fri., March 4
St. Paul & the Broken Bones, The Eastern — The Paul Janeway fronted Alabama eight piece has gradually shifted away from the Staxstyled soul that got them noticed. On the just released The Alien Coast they completely remove the horns to focus on a heavy psychedelic, spacey approach heavy on reverb guitars and synthesizers, yet still somewhat gospel influenced. It’s a radical move, one which may attract new fans while losing some old ones, but shows a willingness to keep their sound fresh and not get pigeonholed. How this will translate to the stage is yet to be seen. It won’t be boring.

$39.50-45. 8:30 p.m. The Eastern, 777 Memorial Dr. SE., Atlanta, 30316. easternatl.com

Marc Broussard/Jamie McLean, Variety Playhouse — Soul man Broussard hasn’t released an album of original material in four years, but his booming voice and tight band have been knocking out audiences with a combination of his own songs and a healthy dose of covers. They are delivered with a smoky, easy rocking swampy vibe that goes down smooth, but with an edgy after bite. Maybe he’ll introduce some new songs, but, even if he doesn’t his impressive catalog ensures a moving and emotional performance.

$26. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

  string(12336) "While we are a month in to the New Year, it has been a rocky start. The Omicron variant put the brakes on live show momentum, specifically with the cancelation/rescheduling of major concerts, including the Indigo Girls’ two night stand with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra New Year’s Eve (moved to the same dates in 2022) and Widespread Panic’s four night Fox Theatre stand (pushed to August, 2022).

Nonetheless, it looks like it will take more than a pandemic to stop two of the city’s high profile roots acts from doing their life’s work recording music and  — hopefully — touring behind it. Longtime Atlanta favorites Tinsley Ellis and Michelle Malone both have new discs rolling out.

Ellis just released ''Devil May Care'', his 20th recording, the end of January, and kicked off his first major tour since early 2020 at Atlanta’s City Winery. The 10 tracks, co-produced by the blues rocking guitar trouper and longtime cohort/keyboardist Kevin McKendree, stay the course for the rugged Southern-styled rock he is known for. A small horn section appears on three tunes bringing extra soul to the proceedings.

Malone recently sent out emails teasing two forthcoming CDs, both due out Spring 2022 — a new album of originals titled ''1977'' (the year she started playing guitar) and ''Fan Favorites Unplugged Vol. 2''. Both can be ordered in advance on her website www.michellemalone.com and will be covered in this column later this year.

In September of 2021, Diane Durrett put out her first fresh music in a while. Co-credited to her longtime Soul Suga outfit, the self-produced and engineered ''Put a Lid on It'' EP finds the singer/guitarist in full R&B diva mode. Her sumptuous blue-eyed soul, gospel influenced vocals enliven eight terrific, radio friendly tunes that reference her blues roots, pushing them toward frisky, rootsy pop.

Show some Valentine’s Day love by supporting these Blues & Beyond February events.

!!Sat. Feb. 12
__Rebecca Loebe, Eddie’s Attic —__ Raised in Atlanta, the Berklee College of Music graduate has since relocated to Austin, TX, most recently working with peers Grace Pettis and Betty Soo in the well regarded Nobody’s Girl outfit. She returns to her old stomping grounds for a solo show which will likely feature some NG material, as well as songs from 2019’s folk/pop gem ''Give up Your Ghosts''

''$18. 7 p.m. Eddie’s Attic, 515-B N. McDonough St., Decatur, 30030. eddiesattic.com'' 

!!Mon., Feb. 14
__Drew & Ellie Holcomb, Symphony Hall —__ What better way to spend Valentine’s Day than with this married musical twosome? Drew is well known for his Neighbors band and wife Ellie made her name in the Christian music community. Together their sympathetic voices and cushy soft folk/rock combine for a synergetic, and sure, romantic combination intended to get couples in the crowd warmed up for some post-show fireworks.

''$56-335. 7:30 p.m. Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, 30309.aso.org/''

!!Tue., Feb. 15
__The Staves, Terminal West —__ These three UK based sisters harmonize like, well, sisters, combining folksy influences with pop that’s more brooding than fizzy. That’s especially the case on their new ''Good Woman'' disc, a somber and pensive yet tuneful set imbued with melancholy due in part to the death of their mother. They’re talented enough to have caught the ear of Paul Weller, who featured them on his recent album, and First Aid Kit, another band of sisters they opened for. They’re on their way to bigger things.

''$20-22. 8:00 p.m. Terminal West, 887 West Marietta St. NW C, Atlanta, 30318. terminalwestatl.com/''

!!Fri. Feb. 18
__Randall Bramblett Band, Red Clay Theater —__ Multi-instrumentalist and potent singer/songwriter Bramblett has never attained the popularity he deserves, starting with his work in Sea Level and continuing through a batch of terrific solo albums, each better than the last. ''Pine Needle Fire'', his latest from 2020, is another highlight in a catalog filled with them. And even though he plays here often, he always impresses with how deep his talent as a soulful, introspective Southern rocker runs. This intimate venue is one of his favorite places and a perfect one to appreciate highlights from a lifetime of extraordinary work.

''$20-24. 8:00 p.m. Red Clay Music Foundry, 3116 Main St, Duluth, 30096. eddieowenpresents.com/''

__The Punch Brothers, Tabernacle —__ Even if virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile (ex-Nickel Creek) wasn’t hosting the weekly PBS show,''Live From Here'' , this would be a wildly popular concert. His Punch Brothers band has been a top bluegrass act since their 2008 debut, and has only increased in popularity since, making them one of the most critically and commercially successful acts in that genre.  Their new ''Hell on Church Street'' collection was released last month; expect plenty of new songs mixed with highlights from the group’s previous five albums.

''$29.50-179. 8:00 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com/''

!!Tue., Feb. 22
__Supersuckers/Jesse Dayton, The Masquerade —__ Both are headliners, so this combination of the veteran Eddie Spaghetti fronted Supersuckers’ tough punk/garage country and the multi-talented Dayton’s (musician, DJ, recent author) raw, roots music is a natural pairing of like-minded gruff Americana troupers.  A closing rave-up with both on stage tearing it up is likely, but either act is well worth the admission price on its own. 

''$16. 8:00 p.m. The Masquerade/Hell, 75 Martine Luther King Dr. SW, Atlanta, 30303.masqueradeatlanta.com/''

__Tower of Power, Variety Playhouse —__ Of course the members have changed over the decades (few could name the many lead singers who have joined and left their ranks), but the iconic San Francisco horn funk/soul band has already passed the 50th anniversary mark and shows no signs of slowing down. You’ll get timeless classics like “What Is Hip?” and “Knock Yourself Out” but even the less popular material connects live when co-founder/baritone sax player Doc Kupka gets to dancing. No one leaves without a goofy smile plastered on their face, reason enough to see these guys before they call it a day.

''$38.50. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com''

!!Wed., Feb. 23
__Elle King, Variety Playhouse —__ King may be considered the Chrissie Hynde of country rockers; a rugged, no-nonsense singer/songwriter grinding out punchy, unfiltered, gutsy rock and twang, heavy on the former but with just enough of the latter to keep her within spitting distance of the Americana genre. She’s a “Baby Outlaw” as one of her song titles suggests, but with only two albums of material, and nothing new in the past three years, it’ll be interesting to see if she can stay the course and remain as rough, tough and bone-rattling as she has been so far. 

''$32.50-59. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com''

!!Fri., Feb. 25
__Brent Cobb/Gabe Lee, City Winery —__ Georgia born and raised Americana singer/songwriter Cobb comes home with a tour named ''When It’s My Time'' after a track on his new gospel release ''And Now, Let’s Turn the Page…''. The songs emerged from a July 2020 near death car accident. He learned many of them in the church of his Ellaville turf so this date brings him full circle, although some of his arrangements rock way harder than you’d expect. Arrive early for Lee who wowed the crowd with a stripped down set on a recent opening slot for Jason Isbell.

''$45-60. 7:00 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Ave. NE., Atlanta, 30308. citywinery.com/Atlanta''

__Brett Dennen, Variety Playhouse —__ The fresh faced, gangly (six-foot, five) Dennen’s folk/pop is as sunny and upbeat as his California home state’s usually temperate weather. An earnest singer/songwriter with an amiable voice, Dennen writes catchy, yet organic soft rock tunes. He has been cranking out albums since 2005 in a low key Tom Petty way, albeit without Petty’s rock and roll bona fides. He’s accrued a significant following over the years, Dennen doing it the old fashioned way, hitting the road, playing for whoever will listen, and being fortunate enough to compose music affable enough to be used in network television shows.

''$22-49. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com''

!!Fri., Feb. 25-Sat. Feb. 26
__Greensky Bluegrass/Infamous Stringdusters, Tabernacle —__ It’s a bluegrass lover’s dream as two of the top purveyors of the genre combine for a show guaranteed to please anyone who follows this music. Both have pushed the boundaries of this traditional mountain sound, but maintain strong connections to its roots. They have plenty of miles under them, with Greensky’s debut arriving in 2004 and the Stringdusters’ appearing in 2007, and a closing jam is likely, which should be a rollicking string picker’s hoedown.

''$33-57.50. 7:30 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com/''

!!Sat., Feb. 26
__Neal Francis, Terminal West —__ Blue-eyed soulster Francis started his career backing up blues players, but quickly shifted his to a more classic R&B approach. His 2019 debut made a substantial splash, followed by a more slickly produced 2021 release, ''In Plain Sight'', which added some Southern rock influences. He is part of a popular retro soul revival, similar to other acts like Aaron Frazer, Kelly Finnigan and Eli “Paperboy” Reed. Francis records for the Karma Chief label which, along with Daptone, has successfully brought this retro styled music to contemporary audiences.

''$20-22. 8:00 p.m. Terminal West, 887 West Marietta St. NW C, Atlanta, 30318. terminalwestatl.com/''

!!Thu., March 3
__Al Stewart, City Winery —__ Everyone knows “Year of the Cat” and “Time Passages” from his mid-70’s heyday, but Brit folk-rocker Stewart, who tours with his Empty Pockets band, has never stopped releasing albums on a semi-regular schedule through the early ‘00s, many with a historical bent. He is pushing 80 but his voice hasn’t aged a day. The band will rock out more than you’d expect and the less popular new music is nearly as enticing as those old hits.
''$45-60. 8:00 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Ave. NE., Atlanta, 30308. citywinery.com/Atlanta''

!!Fri., March 4
__St. Paul & the Broken Bones, The Eastern —__ The Paul Janeway fronted Alabama eight piece has gradually shifted away from the Staxstyled soul that got them noticed. On the just released ''The Alien Coast'' they completely remove the horns to focus on a heavy psychedelic, spacey approach heavy on reverb guitars and synthesizers, yet still somewhat gospel influenced. It’s a radical move, one which may attract new fans while losing some old ones, but shows a willingness to keep their sound fresh and not get pigeonholed. How this will translate to the stage is yet to be seen. It won’t be boring.

The Omicron variant put the brakes on live show momentum, specifically with the cancelation/rescheduling of major concerts, including the Indigo Girls’ two night stand with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra New Year’s Eve (moved to the same dates in 2022) and Widespread Panic’s four night Fox Theatre stand (pushed to August, 2022).

Nonetheless, it looks like it will take more than a pandemic to stop two of the city’s high profile roots acts from doing their life’s work recording music and  — hopefully — touring behind it. Longtime Atlanta favorites Tinsley Ellis and Michelle Malone both have new discs rolling out.

Ellis just released Devil May Care, his 20th recording, the end of January, and kicked off his first major tour since early 2020 at Atlanta’s City Winery. The 10 tracks, co-produced by the blues rocking guitar trouper and longtime cohort/keyboardist Kevin McKendree, stay the course for the rugged Southern-styled rock he is known for. A small horn section appears on three tunes bringing extra soul to the proceedings.

Malone recently sent out emails teasing two forthcoming CDs, both due out Spring 2022 — a new album of originals titled 1977 (the year she started playing guitar) and Fan Favorites Unplugged Vol. 2. Both can be ordered in advance on her website www.michellemalone.com and will be covered in this column later this year.

In September of 2021, Diane Durrett put out her first fresh music in a while. Co-credited to her longtime Soul Suga outfit, the self-produced and engineered Put a Lid on It EP finds the singer/guitarist in full R&B diva mode. Her sumptuous blue-eyed soul, gospel influenced vocals enliven eight terrific, radio friendly tunes that reference her blues roots, pushing them toward frisky, rootsy pop.

The Staves, Terminal West — These three UK based sisters harmonize like, well, sisters, combining folksy influences with pop that’s more brooding than fizzy. That’s especially the case on their new Good Woman disc, a somber and pensive yet tuneful set imbued with melancholy due in part to the death of their mother. They’re talented enough to have caught the ear of Paul Weller, who featured them on his recent album, and First Aid Kit, another band of sisters they opened for. They’re on their way to bigger things.

$20-22. 8:00 p.m. Terminal West, 887 West Marietta St. NW C, Atlanta, 30318. terminalwestatl.com/

!!Fri. Feb. 18
Randall Bramblett Band, Red Clay Theater — Multi-instrumentalist and potent singer/songwriter Bramblett has never attained the popularity he deserves, starting with his work in Sea Level and continuing through a batch of terrific solo albums, each better than the last. Pine Needle Fire, his latest from 2020, is another highlight in a catalog filled with them. And even though he plays here often, he always impresses with how deep his talent as a soulful, introspective Southern rocker runs. This intimate venue is one of his favorite places and a perfect one to appreciate highlights from a lifetime of extraordinary work.

$20-24. 8:00 p.m. Red Clay Music Foundry, 3116 Main St, Duluth, 30096. eddieowenpresents.com/

The Punch Brothers, Tabernacle — Even if virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile (ex-Nickel Creek) wasn’t hosting the weekly PBS show,Live From Here , this would be a wildly popular concert. His Punch Brothers band has been a top bluegrass act since their 2008 debut, and has only increased in popularity since, making them one of the most critically and commercially successful acts in that genre.  Their new Hell on Church Street collection was released last month; expect plenty of new songs mixed with highlights from the group’s previous five albums.

$29.50-179. 8:00 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com/

!!Tue., Feb. 22
Supersuckers/Jesse Dayton, The Masquerade — Both are headliners, so this combination of the veteran Eddie Spaghetti fronted Supersuckers’ tough punk/garage country and the multi-talented Dayton’s (musician, DJ, recent author) raw, roots music is a natural pairing of like-minded gruff Americana troupers.  A closing rave-up with both on stage tearing it up is likely, but either act is well worth the admission price on its own. 

$16. 8:00 p.m. The Masquerade/Hell, 75 Martine Luther King Dr. SW, Atlanta, 30303.masqueradeatlanta.com/

Tower of Power, Variety Playhouse — Of course the members have changed over the decades (few could name the many lead singers who have joined and left their ranks), but the iconic San Francisco horn funk/soul band has already passed the 50th anniversary mark and shows no signs of slowing down. You’ll get timeless classics like “What Is Hip?” and “Knock Yourself Out” but even the less popular material connects live when co-founder/baritone sax player Doc Kupka gets to dancing. No one leaves without a goofy smile plastered on their face, reason enough to see these guys before they call it a day.

$38.50. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

!!Wed., Feb. 23
Elle King, Variety Playhouse — King may be considered the Chrissie Hynde of country rockers; a rugged, no-nonsense singer/songwriter grinding out punchy, unfiltered, gutsy rock and twang, heavy on the former but with just enough of the latter to keep her within spitting distance of the Americana genre. She’s a “Baby Outlaw” as one of her song titles suggests, but with only two albums of material, and nothing new in the past three years, it’ll be interesting to see if she can stay the course and remain as rough, tough and bone-rattling as she has been so far. 

$32.50-59. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

!!Fri., Feb. 25
Brent Cobb/Gabe Lee, City Winery — Georgia born and raised Americana singer/songwriter Cobb comes home with a tour named When It’s My Time after a track on his new gospel release And Now, Let’s Turn the Page…. The songs emerged from a July 2020 near death car accident. He learned many of them in the church of his Ellaville turf so this date brings him full circle, although some of his arrangements rock way harder than you’d expect. Arrive early for Lee who wowed the crowd with a stripped down set on a recent opening slot for Jason Isbell.

$45-60. 7:00 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Ave. NE., Atlanta, 30308. citywinery.com/Atlanta

Brett Dennen, Variety Playhouse — The fresh faced, gangly (six-foot, five) Dennen’s folk/pop is as sunny and upbeat as his California home state’s usually temperate weather. An earnest singer/songwriter with an amiable voice, Dennen writes catchy, yet organic soft rock tunes. He has been cranking out albums since 2005 in a low key Tom Petty way, albeit without Petty’s rock and roll bona fides. He’s accrued a significant following over the years, Dennen doing it the old fashioned way, hitting the road, playing for whoever will listen, and being fortunate enough to compose music affable enough to be used in network television shows.

$22-49. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

!!Fri., Feb. 25-Sat. Feb. 26
Greensky Bluegrass/Infamous Stringdusters, Tabernacle — It’s a bluegrass lover’s dream as two of the top purveyors of the genre combine for a show guaranteed to please anyone who follows this music. Both have pushed the boundaries of this traditional mountain sound, but maintain strong connections to its roots. They have plenty of miles under them, with Greensky’s debut arriving in 2004 and the Stringdusters’ appearing in 2007, and a closing jam is likely, which should be a rollicking string picker’s hoedown.

$33-57.50. 7:30 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com/

!!Sat., Feb. 26
Neal Francis, Terminal West — Blue-eyed soulster Francis started his career backing up blues players, but quickly shifted his to a more classic R&B approach. His 2019 debut made a substantial splash, followed by a more slickly produced 2021 release, In Plain Sight, which added some Southern rock influences. He is part of a popular retro soul revival, similar to other acts like Aaron Frazer, Kelly Finnigan and Eli “Paperboy” Reed. Francis records for the Karma Chief label which, along with Daptone, has successfully brought this retro styled music to contemporary audiences.

$20-22. 8:00 p.m. Terminal West, 887 West Marietta St. NW C, Atlanta, 30318. terminalwestatl.com/

!!Thu., March 3
Al Stewart, City Winery — Everyone knows “Year of the Cat” and “Time Passages” from his mid-70’s heyday, but Brit folk-rocker Stewart, who tours with his Empty Pockets band, has never stopped releasing albums on a semi-regular schedule through the early ‘00s, many with a historical bent. He is pushing 80 but his voice hasn’t aged a day. The band will rock out more than you’d expect and the less popular new music is nearly as enticing as those old hits.
$45-60. 8:00 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Ave. NE., Atlanta, 30308. citywinery.com/Atlanta

!!Fri., March 4
St. Paul & the Broken Bones, The Eastern — The Paul Janeway fronted Alabama eight piece has gradually shifted away from the Staxstyled soul that got them noticed. On the just released The Alien Coast they completely remove the horns to focus on a heavy psychedelic, spacey approach heavy on reverb guitars and synthesizers, yet still somewhat gospel influenced. It’s a radical move, one which may attract new fans while losing some old ones, but shows a willingness to keep their sound fresh and not get pigeonholed. How this will translate to the stage is yet to be seen. It won’t be boring.

$39.50-45. 8:30 p.m. The Eastern, 777 Memorial Dr. SE., Atlanta, 30316. easternatl.com 

!!Sat., March 5 
Marc Broussard/Jamie McLean, Variety Playhouse — Soul man Broussard hasn’t released an album of original material in four years, but his booming voice and tight band have been knocking out audiences with a combination of his own songs and a healthy dose of covers. They are delivered with a smoky, easy rocking swampy vibe that goes down smooth, but with an edgy after bite. Maybe he’ll introduce some new songs, but, even if he doesn’t his impressive catalog ensures a moving and emotional performance.

$26. 8:00 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. variety-playhouse.com

  string(10473) "Atlantucky Brewing, in Castleberry Hill, opened to the public Friday, Feb. 4, after a soft-opening for media and friends Jan. 28. Owned by members of Nappy Roots — best known for hit singles like "Po' Folks,” “Awnaw," "Roun' The Globe,” and "Good Day” — the tap room, brewery, and events space near Mercedes Benz Stadium is located in former loft space at the Intown Loft Apartment complex on Northside Drive.

Currently, Atlantucky  has four beers on tap — a sweet stout, an IPA, a pale ale and a Hefeweizen — with more to come. Scales and Skinny agree they are “glad Atlantucky is finally open, so people can taste what they’ve been tasting for years.”

If you know your hip-hop history, you know the group members have history in Atlanta and Kentucky, hence the name, as they pay tribute to their past and move forward.

Owned by members of Nappy Roots — best known for hit singles like "Po' Folks,” “Awnaw," "Roun' The Globe,” and "Good Day” — the tap room, brewery, and events space near Mercedes Benz Stadium is located in former loft space at the Intown Loft Apartment complex on Northside Drive.

Currently, Atlantucky  has four beers on tap — a sweet stout, an IPA, a pale ale and a Hefeweizen — with more to come. Scales and Skinny agree they are “glad Atlantucky is finally open, so people can taste what they’ve been tasting for years.”

If you know your hip-hop history, you know the group members have history in Atlanta and Kentucky, hence the name, as they pay tribute to their past and move forward.

The Feb. 4 opening — a long-time coming — was scheduled to coincide with Black History month. Check out our Atlantucky Brewing podcast!

Wild Heaven Beer and The Giving Kitchen have come together to create a special, purpose-driven collaboration, “Full-Service Beer.” This IPA is not only a well-crafted beer, but proceeds from Full Service Beer will be given to The Giving Kitchen to aid in their mission of providing assistance to food service workers. You can find it in their taprooms in Avondale and the West End, and in stores. Check out our Wild Heaven podcast!

Check out the latest brewery to open in Sandy Springs, Mutation Brewing, on Roswell Rd.

Wild Leap Brewing in LaGrange won Beer Connoisseur magazine’s 2021 Brewery of the Year title! They had three beers to receive World Class ratings (96 or above) and nine more that received an Exceptional rating. The magazine says such a feat by one brewery is an unprecedented achievement. If you haven’t made the hour to hour and a half drive south to LaGrange, you should! Or, you can wait until Wild Leap opens an Atlanta location later this year! But, why do that? Life is short. Beer is good!  Check out our Wild Leap Brew Co podcast!

  string(7787) "ARIES (March 21-April 19): You're slipping into a phase when stuff that has been invisible will become visible, at least to you. You will have extra power to peer beneath the surfaces and discern the hidden agendas and study the deeper workings. Your interest in trivia and distractions will dissipate, and you'll feel intensified yearnings to home in on core truths. Here's your guiding principle during this time: Favor the interests of the soul over those of the ego. And for inspiration, have fun with this quote by religious scholar Huston Smith: "The Transcendent was my morning meal, we had the Eternal at lunch, and I ate a slice of the Infinite at dinner."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "You cannot have fun with anything that you don't love or admire or respect," declared comedian Mel Brooks. I agree! The
joyous release that comes through playful amusement is most likely to unfold when you're in the presence of influences you are fond of. The good news,
Taurus, is that in the coming weeks, you will have a special inclination and knack for hanging around people and influences like that. Therefore, you will have an enhanced capacity for mirth and delight and pleasure. Take full advantage, please! As much as possible, gravitate toward what you love and admire and respect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else," says Gemini author Vikram Seth. I bring this truth to your attention because I believe you will soon be the beneficiary of steady, strong waves of inspiration. I also predict that these waves will transport you away from minor irritations that are best left alone for now. Be alert and ever-ready to spring into action, my dear, so that as the inspirational surges flow, you will harvest the maximum rewards from their gifts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The advice that Reb Nachman of Breslov offered two centuries ago is just right for you now: "Never ask directions from someone who knows the way, or you will never be able to get lost." In the coming weeks, you will attract tricky but palpable blessings from meandering around without knowing exactly where you are. It's time for you to find out what you don't even realize you need to know; to stumble upon quiet little wonders and marvels that will ultimately prove to be guideposts for your holy quests in the future. Yes, I understand that being in unknown territory without a reliable map isn't usually a pleasure, but I believe it will be for you. PS: Our fellow Cancerian, author Rebecca Solnit, wrote a book entitled *A Field Guide to Getting Lost*. It might be helpful during your wanderings. Read a summary of it here.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "You face your greatest opposition when you're closest to your biggest miracle," wrote author and filmmaker T. D. Jakes. According to my analysis of upcoming astrological omens, that's good advice for you. I suspect that the problems you encounter will be among your best and most useful ever. With the right attitude, you will harness the challenges to generate magnificent breakthroughs. And what's the right attitude? Proceed with the hypothesis that life is now conspiring to bring your soul exactly what your soul needs to express its ripest beauty.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "Always remember this," said actor Hattie McDaniel (1893-1952). "There are only 18 inches between a pat on the back and a kick in the rump." Metaphorically speaking, I believe her advice will be useful for you in the coming days. Lately, you've had to deal with too many experiences and influences akin to kicks in the rump. But now that will change. Soon there'll be a surge of experiences and influences that resemble pats on the back. In my estimation, you have finished paying your dues and making course corrections. Now it's time for you to receive meaningful appreciation and constructive approval.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Gayle Forman offers a set of truths that I suspect will be useful for you in the coming weeks. They may even be inspirational and motivational. Forman writes, "Sometimes fate or life or whatever you want to call it, leaves a door a little open, and you walk through it. But sometimes it locks the door and you have to find the key, or pick the lock, or knock the damn thing down. And sometimes, it doesn't even show you the door, and you have to build it yourself." Are you ready for the challenge, Libra? I think you are. Do whatever you must do to go through the doorways you want and need to go through.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash described her process. "I dream of songs," she began. "I dream they fall down through the centuries, from my distant ancestors, and come to me. I dream of lullabies and sea shanties and keening cries and rhythms and stories and backbeats." Scorpio, I would love for you to explore comparable approaches to getting the creative ideas you need to live your best life possible. I would love for you to draw freely from sources beyond your conscious ego-including your ancestors, the people you were in previous incarnations, gods and spirits, heroes and allies, the intelligence of animals, and the wisdom of nature. The coming months will be a favorable time to expand your access. Start boosting the signals now!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Madeleine Thien has lived in Vancouver, Montreal, and Iowa City, and has taught at schools in Hong Kong and Brooklyn. Her father was born and raised in Malaysia and her mother in Hong Kong. She has a rich array of different roots. Not surprisingly, then, she has said, "I like to think of home as a verb, something we keep recreating." That's an excellent meditation for you right now, Sagittarius. And it will continue to be worthy of your ruminations for another four months. What's the next step you could take to feel comfortable and secure and at peace?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fastest animal on earth is the peregrine falcon, which can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour when it dives from a great height. The seventh-fastest creature is the humble pigeon. Having been clocked at 92.5 miles per hour, the bird outpaces the cheetah, which is the fastest land animal. I propose we make the pigeon your spirit creature for the coming weeks. On the one hand, you may seem mild and modest to casual observers. On the other hand, you will in fact be sleek, quick, and agile. Like the pigeon, you will also be highly adaptable, able to thrive in a variety of situations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Self-control might be as passionate and as active as the surrender to passion," wrote Aquarian author W. Somerset Maugham. Yes! I agree! And that's the perfect message for you to hear right now. If you choose to take advantage of the potentials that life is offering you, you will explore and experiment with the mysteries of self-discipline and self-command. You'll be a trailblazer of discernment and poise. You will indulge in and enjoy the pleasures of self-regulation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1961, Piscean cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. As his feat neared its end, Gagarin left the capsule at 20,000 feet above the ground and parachuted the rest of the way. He arrived in a turnip field where a girl and her grandmother were working. They provided him with a horse and cart so he could travel to the nearest telephone and make a call to get picked up and brought back to headquarters. I foresee a metaphorically comparable series of events transpiring in your life, Pisces. Be flexible and adaptable as you adjust to changing conditions with changing strategies. Your exceptional and illustrious activities may require the assistance of humble influences."

  string(8019) "~~#0000ff:__ARIES (March 21-April 19):__~~ You're slipping into a phase when stuff that has been invisible will become visible, at least to you. You will have extra power to peer beneath the surfaces and discern the hidden agendas and study the deeper workings. Your interest in trivia and distractions will dissipate, and you'll feel intensified yearnings to home in on core truths. Here's your guiding principle during this time: Favor the interests of the soul over those of the ego. And for inspiration, have fun with this quote by religious scholar Huston Smith: "The Transcendent was my morning meal, we had the Eternal at lunch, and I ate a slice of the Infinite at dinner."

~~#0000ff:__TAURUS (April 20-May 20):__~~ "You cannot have fun with anything that you don't love or admire or respect," declared comedian Mel Brooks. I agree! The
joyous release that comes through playful amusement is most likely to unfold when you're in the presence of influences you are fond of. The good news,
Taurus, is that in the coming weeks, you will have a special inclination and knack for hanging around people and influences like that. Therefore, you will have an enhanced capacity for mirth and delight and pleasure. Take full advantage, please! As much as possible, gravitate toward what you love and admire and respect.

~~#0000ff:__GEMINI (May 21-June 20):__~~ "The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else," says Gemini author Vikram Seth. I bring this truth to your attention because I believe you will soon be the beneficiary of steady, strong waves of inspiration. I also predict that these waves will transport you away from minor irritations that are best left alone for now. Be alert and ever-ready to spring into action, my dear, so that as the inspirational surges flow, you will harvest the maximum rewards from their gifts.

~~#0000ff:__CANCER (June 21-July 22):__~~ The advice that Reb Nachman of Breslov offered two centuries ago is just right for you now: "Never ask directions from someone who knows the way, or you will never be able to get lost." In the coming weeks, you will attract tricky but palpable blessings from meandering around without knowing exactly where you are. It's time for you to find out what you don't even realize you need to know; to stumble upon quiet little wonders and marvels that will ultimately prove to be guideposts for your holy quests in the future. Yes, I understand that being in unknown territory without a reliable map isn't usually a pleasure, but I believe it will be for you. PS: Our fellow Cancerian, author Rebecca Solnit, wrote a book entitled *A Field Guide to Getting Lost*. It might be helpful during your wanderings. Read a summary of it [http://tinyurl.com/GuideToGettingLost|here].

According to my analysis of upcoming astrological omens, that's good advice for you. I suspect that the problems you encounter will be among your best and most useful ever. With the right attitude, you will harness the challenges to generate magnificent breakthroughs. And what's the right attitude? Proceed with the hypothesis that life is now conspiring to bring your soul exactly what your soul needs to express its ripest beauty.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "Always remember this," said actor Hattie McDaniel (1893-1952). "There are only 18 inches between a pat on the back and a kick in the rump." Metaphorically speaking, I believe her advice will be useful for you in the coming days. Lately, you've had to deal with too many experiences and influences akin to kicks in the rump. But now that will change. Soon there'll be a surge of experiences and influences that resemble pats on the back. In my estimation, you have finished paying your dues and making course corrections. Now it's time for you to receive meaningful appreciation and constructive approval.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Gayle Forman offers a set of truths that I suspect will be useful for you in the coming weeks. They may even be inspirational and motivational.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash described her process. "I dream of songs," she began. "I dream they fall down through the centuries, from my distant ancestors, and come to me. I dream of lullabies and sea shanties and keening cries and rhythms and stories and backbeats." Scorpio, I would love for you to explore comparable approaches to getting the creative ideas you need to live your best life possible. I would love for you to draw freely from sources beyond your conscious ego-including your ancestors, the people you were in previous incarnations, gods and spirits, heroes and allies, the intelligence of animals, and the wisdom of nature. The coming months will be a favorable time to expand your access. Start boosting the signals now!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Madeleine Thien has lived in Vancouver, Montreal, and Iowa City, and has taught at schools in Hong Kong and Brooklyn. Her father was born and raised in Malaysia and her mother in Hong Kong. She has a rich array of different roots. Not surprisingly, then, she has said, "I like to think of home as a verb, something we keep recreating." That's an excellent meditation for you right now, Sagittarius. And it will continue to be worthy of your ruminations for another four months. What's the next step you could take to feel comfortable and secure and at peace?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fastest animal on earth is the peregrine falcon, which can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour when it dives from a great height. The seventh-fastest creature is the humble pigeon. Having been clocked at 92.5 miles per hour, the bird outpaces the cheetah, which is the fastest land animal. I propose we make the pigeon your spirit creature for the coming weeks. On the one hand, you may seem mild and modest to casual observers. On the other hand, you will in fact be sleek, quick, and agile. Like the pigeon, you will also be highly adaptable, able to thrive in a variety of situations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Self-control might be as passionate and as active as the surrender to passion," wrote Aquarian author W. Somerset Maugham. Yes! I agree! And that's the perfect message for you to hear right now. If you choose to take advantage of the potentials that life is offering you, you will explore and experiment with the mysteries of self-discipline and self-command. You'll be a trailblazer of discernment and poise. You will indulge in and enjoy the pleasures of self-regulation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1961, Piscean cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. As his feat neared its end, Gagarin left the capsule at 20,000 feet above the ground and parachuted the rest of the way. He arrived in a turnip field where a girl and her grandmother were working. They provided him with a horse and cart so he could travel to the nearest telephone and make a call to get picked up and brought back to headquarters. I foresee a metaphorically comparable series of events transpiring in your life, Pisces. Be flexible and adaptable as you adjust to changing conditions with changing strategies. Your exceptional and illustrious activities may require the assistance of humble influences.       0,0,10                           Free Will Astrology — Week of February 17, 2022 "

  string(7845) "ARIES (March 21-April 19): “A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it,” wrote author G. K. Chesterton. Amen to that! Please regard his observation as the first part of your horoscope. Here’s the second part: It’s sometimes the right approach to move in harmony with the flow, to allow the momentum of elemental forces to carry you along. But now is not one of those times. I suggest you experiment with journeys against the flow. Go in quest of what the followers of easy options will never experience. Do it humbly, of course, and with your curiosity fully deployed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “You’re never allowed to step on people to get ahead,” said TV personality and author Star Jones, “but you can step over them if they’re in your way.” I suspect the coming months will be a time when you really should step over people who are in your way. There’s no need to be mad at them, criticize them, or gossip about them. That would sap your energy to follow your increasingly clear dreams. Your main task is to free yourself from influences that obstruct your ability to be the Royal Sovereign of Your Own Destiny.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini-born Gina Rowlands is retired now, but she had an award-winning six-decade career as an actor. At age 20, she decided what she wanted to do with her life, and her parents offered her their blessings. She testified: “I went home and I told my mom that I wanted to quit college and be an actress, and she said, ‘Huh, that sounds fascinating. It’s wonderful!’ And I told my father, and he literally said, ‘I don’t care if you want to be an elephant trainer if it makes you happy.’” Dear Gemini, in the coming months, I would love for you to receive similar encouragement for your budding ideas and plans. What can you do to ensure you’re surrounded by influences like Rowlands’ parents? I hope you embark on a long-term project to get all the support you need.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As you enter an astrological phase when vast, expansive ruminations will be fun and healthy for you, I will offer you some vast, expansive thoughts. Hopefully, they will inspire your own spacious musings. First, here’s artist M. C. Escher: “Wonder is the salt of the earth.” Next, author Salman Rushdie: “What’s real and what’s true aren’t necessarily the same.” Here’s poet Allen Ginsberg: “When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.” A proverb from the Omaha people: “Ask questions from your heart, and you will be answered from the heart.” G. K. Chesterton: “Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.” Finally, playwright Tony Kushner: “I’m not religious, but I like God, and he likes me.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Out of love, you can speak with straight fury,” wrote author Eudora Welty. Here’s how I interpret that in light of the current chapter of your life story: You have an opportunity to recalibrate some misaligned energy. You have the necessary insight to fix an imbalance or dissolve an illusion or correct a flow that has gone off-course. And by far the best way to do that is by wielding the power of love. It will need to be expressed with vehemence and intense clarity, however. It will require you to be both compassionate and firm. Your homework: Figure out how to express transformative truths with kindness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo political science professor Tatah Mentan was born and raised in the African country of Cameroon, which has never fully recovered from its grueling colonization by Germany, France, and England. The democratic tradition there is tenuous. When Mentan first taught at a university in the Cameroonian capital, authorities found his ideas too controversial. For the next 16 years, he attempted to be true to himself while avoiding governmental censorship, but the strain proved too stressful. Fearing for his safety, he fled to the US. I’m turning to him for advice that will serve you well in the coming weeks. He tells us, “Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Anything you do from the heart enriches you, but sometimes not till years later,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin. I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that you will soon receive your rewards for generous actions you accomplished in the past. On behalf of the cosmic rhythms, I apologize for how long it has taken. But at least it’s finally here. Don’t underestimate how big this is. And don’t allow sadness about your earlier deprivation to inhibit your enthusiastic embrace of compensation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): No matter how reasonable and analytical you are, Scorpio, you possess a robust attraction to magic. You yearn for the refreshing invigoration of non-rational mysteries. You nurture urges to be delighted by outbreaks of the raw, primal lust for life. According to my astrological assessment, you are especially inclined to want and need these feelings in the next few weeks. And that’s good and healthy and holy! At the same time, don’t abandon your powers of discernment. Keep them running in the background as you enjoy your rejuvenating communions with the enigmatic pleasures of the Great Unknown.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Diane Ackerman tells us, “In the absence of touching and being touched, people of all ages can sicken and grow touch starved. Touch seems to be as essential as sunlight.” This is always important to remember, but it will be extra crucial for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. I advise you to be ingenious and humble and frank as you collect as much physical contact as you can. Be polite and respectful, of course. Never force yourself on anyone. Always seek permission. With those as your guidelines, be greedy for hugs and cuddling and caresses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Education, fundamentally, is the increase of the percentage of the conscious in relation to the unconscious.” Author and educator Sylvia Ashton-Warner said that, and now I’m telling you — just in time for one of the most lesson-rich times of a year that will be full of rich lessons. In the next nine months, dear Capricorn, the proportion of your consciousness in relation to your unconsciousness should markedly increase. And the coming weeks will be a favorable phase to upgrade your educational ambitions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re entering a phase of your cycle when your ability to boost your finances will be stronger than usual. You’ll be more likely to attract good luck with money and more apt to discover useful tips on how to generate greater abundance. To inspire your efforts, I offer you this observation by author Katharine Butler Hathaway: “To me, money is alive. It is almost human. If you treat it with real sympathy and kindness and consideration, it will be a good servant and work hard for you, and stay with you and take care of you.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Deb Caletti made the following observation: “You have ordinary moments and ordinary moments and more ordinary moments, and then, suddenly, there is something monumental right there. You have past and future colliding in the present, your own personal Big Bang, and nothing will ever be the same.” In my vision of your destiny in 2022, Pisces, there could be several of these personal Big Bangs, and one of them seems to be imminent. To prepare—that is, to ensure that the changes are primarily uplifting and enjoyable—I suggest you chant the following mantra at least five times every day: “I love and expect good changes.”"

K. Chesterton. Amen to that! Please regard his observation as the first part of your horoscope. Here’s the second part: It’s sometimes the right approach to move in harmony with the flow, to allow the momentum of elemental forces to carry you along. But now is not one of those times. I suggest you experiment with journeys against the flow. Go in quest of what the followers of easy options will never experience. Do it humbly, of course, and with your curiosity fully deployed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “You’re never allowed to step on people to get ahead,” said TV personality and author Star Jones, “but you can step over them if they’re in your way.” I suspect the coming months will be a time when you really should step over people who are in your way. There’s no need to be mad at them, criticize them, or gossip about them. That would sap your energy to follow your increasingly clear dreams. Your main task is to free yourself from influences that obstruct your ability to be the Royal Sovereign of Your Own Destiny.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini-born Gina Rowlands is retired now, but she had an award-winning six-decade career as an actor. At age 20, she decided what she wanted to do with her life, and her parents offered her their blessings. She testified: “I went home and I told my mom that I wanted to quit college and be an actress, and she said, ‘Huh, that sounds fascinating. It’s wonderful!’ And I told my father, and he literally said, ‘I don’t care if you want to be an elephant trainer if it makes you happy.’” Dear Gemini, in the coming months, I would love for you to receive similar encouragement for your budding ideas and plans. What can you do to ensure you’re surrounded by influences like Rowlands’ parents? I hope you embark on a long-term project to get all the support you need.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As you enter an astrological phase when vast, expansive ruminations will be fun and healthy for you, I will offer you some vast, expansive thoughts. Hopefully, they will inspire your own spacious musings. First, here’s artist M. C. Escher: “Wonder is the salt of the earth.” Next, author Salman Rushdie: “What’s real and what’s true aren’t necessarily the same.” Here’s poet Allen Ginsberg: “When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.” A proverb from the Omaha people: “Ask questions from your heart, and you will be answered from the heart.” G. K. Chesterton: “Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.” Finally, playwright Tony Kushner: “I’m not religious, but I like God, and he likes me.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Out of love, you can speak with straight fury,” wrote author Eudora Welty. Here’s how I interpret that in light of the current chapter of your life story: You have an opportunity to recalibrate some misaligned energy. You have the necessary insight to fix an imbalance or dissolve an illusion or correct a flow that has gone off-course. And by far the best way to do that is by wielding the power of love. It will need to be expressed with vehemence and intense clarity, however. It will require you to be both compassionate and firm. Your homework: Figure out how to express transformative truths with kindness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo political science professor Tatah Mentan was born and raised in the African country of Cameroon, which has never fully recovered from its grueling colonization by Germany, France, and England. The democratic tradition there is tenuous. When Mentan first taught at a university in the Cameroonian capital, authorities found his ideas too controversial. For the next 16 years, he attempted to be true to himself while avoiding governmental censorship, but the strain proved too stressful. Fearing for his safety, he fled to the US. I’m turning to him for advice that will serve you well in the coming weeks. He tells us, “Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Anything you do from the heart enriches you, but sometimes not till years later,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin. I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that you will soon receive your rewards for generous actions you accomplished in the past. On behalf of the cosmic rhythms, I apologize for how long it has taken. But at least it’s finally here. Don’t underestimate how big this is. And don’t allow sadness about your earlier deprivation to inhibit your enthusiastic embrace of compensation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): No matter how reasonable and analytical you are, Scorpio, you possess a robust attraction to magic. You yearn for the refreshing invigoration of non-rational mysteries. You nurture urges to be delighted by outbreaks of the raw, primal lust for life. According to my astrological assessment, you are especially inclined to want and need these feelings in the next few weeks. And that’s good and healthy and holy! At the same time, don’t abandon your powers of discernment. Keep them running in the background as you enjoy your rejuvenating communions with the enigmatic pleasures of the Great Unknown.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Diane Ackerman tells us, “In the absence of touching and being touched, people of all ages can sicken and grow touch starved. Touch seems to be as essential as sunlight.” This is always important to remember, but it will be extra crucial for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. I advise you to be ingenious and humble and frank as you collect as much physical contact as you can. Be polite and respectful, of course. Never force yourself on anyone. Always seek permission. With those as your guidelines, be greedy for hugs and cuddling and caresses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Education, fundamentally, is the increase of the percentage of the conscious in relation to the unconscious.” Author and educator Sylvia Ashton-Warner said that, and now I’m telling you — just in time for one of the most lesson-rich times of a year that will be full of rich lessons. In the next nine months, dear Capricorn, the proportion of your consciousness in relation to your unconsciousness should markedly increase. And the coming weeks will be a favorable phase to upgrade your educational ambitions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re entering a phase of your cycle when your ability to boost your finances will be stronger than usual. You’ll be more likely to attract good luck with money and more apt to discover useful tips on how to generate greater abundance. To inspire your efforts, I offer you this observation by author Katharine Butler Hathaway: “To me, money is alive. It is almost human. If you treat it with real sympathy and kindness and consideration, it will be a good servant and work hard for you, and stay with you and take care of you.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Deb Caletti made the following observation: “You have ordinary moments and ordinary moments and more ordinary moments, and then, suddenly, there is something monumental right there. You have past and future colliding in the present, your own personal Big Bang, and nothing will ever be the same.” In my vision of your destiny in 2022, Pisces, there could be several of these personal Big Bangs, and one of them seems to be imminent. To prepare—that is, to ensure that the changes are primarily uplifting and enjoyable—I suggest you chant the following mantra at least five times every day: “I love and expect good changes.”                                  FREE WILL ASTROLOGY — Week of February 24 "

Edgewood hosted the first two and Summerhill the last one just before the pandemic. A typical event would see the neighborhood closed off and swarmed by United supporters, who will get access to special drink specials, giveaways, and raffles all to support their love of the Rowdy and Proud.

Join Atlanta United, Atlanta Sport and Social Club, and thousands of fans once the schedule is announced for the fourth annual Atlanta United Block Party - ATL's biggest open-streets celebration of all things #ATLUTD.
