The Ego & The Oracle

Date: 2007-04-27 19:30:00
Type:
Should you make that big move? Is it time to dump your boyfriend? Demand a raise? Run for office? ASK THE ORACLE - All your questions answered in song! Back by popular demand, Boston-based band Jim’s Big Ego (www.bigego.com) re-teams with writer/actor/musician and radio mystic, Andras Jones for the return of an original interactive theater production entitled The Ego & The Oracle - an evening of rock and roll divination. Part experimental theater, part rock and roll cabaret, part mystic mind-expansion, The Ego & The Oracle is a live stage spectacular where “Magic 8 Ball meets iPod Shuffle”. The premise is as simple as it is unique. Audience members are invited on stage to ask questions of The Oracle. They then spin a wheel containing Jim’s Big Ego’s songs. When the wheel stops, the band spontaneously performs the chosen song, which in turn is interpreted as the answer to the question. The outcome can be humorous or moving, often both at once. It is a show about synchronicity and it’s hard to experience it without getting the sense that the universe is not only in tune, but that it also has a great sense of rhythm. The Ego & The Oracle returns to Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway Theater for a limited run that starts the weekend of April 27, 28, 29, and continues every Sunday through June 17.

The New England based trio offers 11 tracks spotlighting the Hammond B-3, with a foundation of styles ranging from traditional jazz to funk and soul. Clever melodies, and superb musicianship are this trio's strong points. "Mutual Respect" was recorded live in the studio with very few overdubs. "Clark controls the B3 like a master: hip bass lines, sizzling chordal washes, feel-good riffs, funky blues lines and syncopated accents figure in the mix." – OWEN CORDLE, JAZZ TIMES "[Ken] plays a supercharged Hammond B-3 the way it used to be played, leading a topnotch rhythm section in grooves that bring to mind the great Jimmy Smith, Larry Young, and Don Patterson albums of the 1950's and 60’s." – FRED SHUSTER, L.A.

McIntyre & Moore Booksellers hosts "Aesthetics and Elites: What Accounts for Good Taste?": January’s topic at the Davis Square Philosophy Café, moderated by Tom Clark, on January 15, 7:30-9:30 pm at McIntyre & Moore Booksellers, 255 Elm St. in Davis Square, Somerville, near the Red Line. Free and open to all; wheelchair accessible. 15% book discount* for all those attending [*discount available for day of event only]. For information call McIntyre & Moore Booksellers (617) 629-4840 or log onto www.mcintyreandmoore.com. McIntyre and Moore Booksellers, in conjunction with the Center for Naturalism, continues year 5 of its discussion group series, the Davis Square Philosophy Café, held each month on the third Tuesday. The Philosophy Café is a philosophy discussion group modeled on philosophy cafés underway in other cities in Europe and the US. The goal is to present occasions for informal, relaxed philosophical discussion on topics of mutual interest to participants. No particular expertise is required to participate, only a desire to explore philosophy and its real world applications. January’s topic, “Aesthetics and Elites: What Accounts for Good Taste?," will focus on the following: When critics pronounce a work of art a masterpiece, this suggests it has objective merit, something that exists outside the aesthetic preferences of the beholder. Are they detecting something real, or simply cementing their status as elite arbiters of good taste? Are there aesthetic qualities that exist independently of the social functions of art, and if so, how do we account for them? (Background of the moderator) Tom Clark is director of the Boston-based Center for Naturalism and author of Encountering Naturalism: A Worldview and Its Uses. He writes on science, naturalism, free will, consciousness, addiction and other topics, and maintains an extensive website on philosophical and applied naturalism, Naturalism.Org. As moderator of the Philosophy Café, he brings an engaging interest in philosophy and its real world applications, and the ability to involve participants of varied backgrounds in animated, productive and fair discussion.

For information on directions, parking and registration for the Symposium, please call 617-627-3314 or visit our website: http://www.epiic.org/symposium/2008/symposium.html Mass poverty is one of the world’s most pressing problems and daunting challenges. The compelling facts are well known: • Over one billion people – almost one in five – live in extreme poverty, subsisting on less than a dollar a day. • If the poverty line was raised to $2 a day, more than half of the world’s population would be living in poverty. • Over 100 million primary school-age children cannot afford to go to school. • Eight million people die each year simply because they lack the means to survive. • Over 11 million children die each year from preventable causes like malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia. • According to the 2001 US census, the wealthiest 20 percent of Americans accounted for more than 50 percent of the national income, while the poorest 20 percent accounted for 3.5 percent Much progress has been made over the last few decades. Global poverty is rapidly falling for about 80 percent of the world and the number of people living in extreme poverty has been cut in half. Yet, many challenges exist, from the expected rise in population in developing countries over the next four decades – representing 86 percent of the world’s population – to the anticipated, and unanticipated, consequences of global warming. Eschewing ideology, this year’s EPIIC colloquium will seek a nuanced understanding of the concepts and reality of global poverty. Is it possible to transcend the images of starving children, the stereotypes of ruthless corporations, and corrupt politicians, to explore a realistic agenda for alleviating poverty?
