It's not so long ago that children were expected to be seen and not heard. Grownups knew best, and youngsters better listen to what they have to say. Things have flipped so much now that the idea of an older person imparting life advice to someone younger has become something of a taboo, along the lines of "mansplaining." Young people should indeed listen to their elders, because the latter have been around a longer and have experienced more of life. But older people have also made more mistakes than youngsters, and they're often set in their ways. It's important for the young to listen to the old, but they should never blindly follow their advice. Ignoring the previous generation is how society evolves. If we never questioned our elders women wouldn't be allowed to vote, black people would still be in chains and gay people wouldn't be allowed to exist.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
