There are a lot of good things happening this week, with just a little downtime, which is rather impressive for this time of year. There are some truly fantastic shows on tap, particularly in the first section of the Setlist, so I won’t waste your time with an overlong introduction. Go out and have fun; we can talk politics and culture and current events later. Just focus on the next few days and keep your stick on the ice. Cheerio. Thursday Jon Spencer, the maestro behind Gen X powerhouse bands Pussy Galore, Boss Hog and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, is playing a solo show at the Miniplex at 7 p.m. This is about as good as it gets around here on a Thursday in late autumn, so roll through if you want to be revived a little before the true darkness sets in ($25). Friday It’s the final Friday the 13th of 2026, and you will not see another until August of 2027.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

The mayor is excellent at the job—and secretly cheating on a spouse. Is that news?

A local official is effective, honest in office, and privately having an affair. A journalist can verify it but finds no misuse of public resources or direct connection to official duties.

Does private dishonesty reveal something citizens are entitled to judge?
