From Local Sources

Max Weinberg — Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, a member of Bruce Spingsteen’s E Street band and longtime Late Night with Conan O’Brien band leader — will bring his interactive show Max Weinberg’s Jukebox to Lin-coln City on Saturday, July 21.

Doors for the show open at 5 p.m. CT and regional favorites The Easthills will open with a perfor-mance at 6:30 p.m. CT. Weinberg will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. CT.

General admission tickets are $24.95 per seat, VIP tickets are $35.95, and Gold Circle VIP Private Meet and Greet tickets are $150.95. The Gold Circle tickets include a picture with Weinberg, as well as a signed drumhead. Tickets can be purchased online at www.Lin-colnAmphitheatre.com or by call-ing 812-937-2329.

For a limited time, use the code MAXIMUM online to re-ceive a $5 off each general admis-sion ticket.

Offering a truly interactive ex-perience, Weinberg invites the au-dience to create a set list, in real time, that he and his four-piece group will play. The audience will choose from a video menu of over 200 songs from the glory days of rock and roll — everything from the Beatles to the Stones to Bruce and the E Street Band’s biggest hits.

The next scheduled perfor-mances at the Lincoln Amphi-theatre are today, Friday and

Saturday as “Young Abe Lin-coln” concludes its final run at

the Lincoln Amphitheatre. After Weinberg, the next scheduled

performance is a tribute to Mo-town as the band Soul Pocket

comes to town on Saturday, July 28.

Entertainment: Weekend

E Street drummer coming to amphitheatre

The audience will be in charge of the music it hears when Max Weinberg performs at the Lincoln Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 21.

All times are Eastern unless otherwise noted.

Current cinemaNew ReleasesShock and Awe Woody Harrelson and James Marsden deliver outstanding performances as Knight-Ridder reporters who after 9/11 wrote stories questioning the existence of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. It’s a powerful reminder of the mass con job that led to the Iraq War. (Historical drama, R, 1 hr. 30 min.)

Skyscraper In this cheesy and predictable semi-thriller, Dwayne Johnson climbs and jumps as a security consultant rescuing his family from a Hong Kong tower infiltrated by terrorists. It’s like “Die Hard,” but not nearly as smart or gritty or well-acted. (Action, PG-13, 1 hr. 43 min.)

Currently playingAnt-Man and the Wasp (Jasper 8 Theatres) After the dramatically heavy conclusion to “Avengers: Infinity War,” it’s nice to enjoy a (mostly) self-contained and smile-inducing summer rollercoaster ride bolstered by the excellent comedic timing of Paul Rudd and company, not to mention some dazzling and dizzying CGI moves designed to thrill and to score solid laughs. (Superhero action, PG-13, 2 hrs.)

The First Purge ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres)The latest “Purge” is an erratic, fairly absorbing and righteously angry prequel. It sets up scenarios in which African-American and Latino resistance fighters rebel against the dear white people exploiting them for bloody political gain. Honestly: There is no avoiding politics and messaging with that setup. When last we purged, two summers back with “The Purge: Election Year” (2016), our current president was a few months away from the White House. In various degrees of bluntness, screenwriter/

director/executive producer James DeMonaco had a few things to say about the fear-mongering tactics that would ultimately put him there. Now, with a new DeMonaco script directed by second-time feature filmmaker Gerard McMurray, “The First Purge” imagines what went down, and why, with the initial 12-hour crime-and-murder spree allowing an angry, disenfranchised U.S. citizenry to blow off steam with zero consequences. (R, 1 hr. 37 min.)

Incredibles 2 (Jasper 8 Theatres) Writer-director Brad Bird’s second chapter in the story of America’s favorite superhero family is a nifty blend of loudly chaotic amusement-ride-type action pieces and domestic comedy-drama. It’s a solid double, but I’ll admit to a feeling of mild disappointment that it wasn’t a grand slam. (Animated action, PG, 1 hr. 58 min.)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) How terrible is this exercise in wretched excess about dinosaurs being evacuated from Isla Nublar before a volcano can wipe them out? It’s “Rocky V” bad. It’s “Jaws 3D” bad. (Sci-fi adventure, PG-13, 2 hrs. 8 min.)

Uncle Drew (Jasper 8 Theatres) To win a Harlem tournament, a part-time basketball coach (Lil Rel Howery) recruits a team of former players in their 70s headed by the legendary Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving). Even though the film is outlandish and predictable and downright corny, I loved the positive energy and the steady diet of inside-basketball jokes. (Sports comedy, PG-13, 1 hr. 43 min.)

On DVDI Feel Pretty A blow to the head deludes a cosmetics company staffer (Amy Schumer) into thinking she’s supermodel beautiful, enhancing her confidence. Schumer is clearly in her comfort zone and she eventually wins us over in this uneven, hit-and-miss, broad comedy, but here’s hoping the next time

around, she tries something new. (Comedy, PG-13, 1 hr. 47 min., 2018)

Super Troopers 2 In this sequel, 17 years after the original, the hapless lawmen patrol a piece of Quebec newly transferred to America. While there’s something kind of endearing about the disjointed chaos behind the comedy, there are simply too many dead spots and cheap jokes and flat gags to carry a full-length feature. (Comedy, R, 100 m., 2018)

Isle Of Dogs ½ In a work of stunning stop-motion animation, a boy tries to rescue his pet from an island of garbage where a Japanese mayor has quarantined all dogs. It’s smart and different and sometimes deliberately odd and really funny — rarely in a laugh-out-loud way, more in a smile-and-nod-I-get-the-joke kind of way. In other words, it’s a Wes Anderson movie. (Animated adventure, PG-13, 94 m., 2018)

Rampage ½ In this really loud, extremely dumb and consistently predictable CGI showcase, an evil corporation loses its samples of an experimental growth and aggression serum. It’s extremely bad luck for America that these samples are discovered by a wolf, a crocodile and a silverback gorilla whose human buddy is played by Dwayne Johnson. (Sci-fi action, PG-13, 107 m., 2018)

Earlier this year, Sugarland’s Kristian Bush was flying to New York to write some songs with his duo partner, Jennifer Nettles. On the plane, he settled in with a newspaper — but when he started reading an article about gun vio-lence, it was so upsetting that he had to stop. He stuffed the paper into the seat pocket in front of him.

“I can’t be looking at this,” Bush recalls thinking, “I’m going to write Sugarland songs today.”

When the popular duo first started dominating the country charts in the early 2000s, “Sugar-land songs” usually meant upbeat, infectious, energy-packed hits, oc-casionally infused with quirky lyr-ics and production. Then Nettles and Bush took a five-year break to embark on solo projects. And when they reconvened to make new music in 2017, they returned to an extremely different climate.

While many Nashville artists refuse to discuss current events, emphasizing that their priority is to entertain, the duo — already known for being progressive — re-alized they could use this new era of Sugarland to do both.

“These days we all feel small,

my friend/It’s getting harder and harder to hold our heads up high,” Nettles sings on the soaring opening title track of their sixth studio album, “Bigger,” released last month. “Baby, let’s circle the wagons, show all the dragons they don’t own the sky.”

“This world is crazy right now ... it’s painful personally, and it’s scary in ways we haven’t ex-perienced before as a country,” Nettles said in a phone interview. She added, “One of the things that music does so very well is to really help us during these times. Art re-ally leads the way to help us pro-cess all this emotional stuff.”

While their new album includes radio-friendly, roll-down-your-windows songs (the delightfully catchy “Babe,” featuring Taylor Swift, or “Still the Same,” their comeback single), it also includes tracks with deeper messages.

Nettles and Bush, who co-wrote 10 out of 11 songs on the project, got to work soon after Bush stepped off the plane in New York. Still thinking about gun violence, Bush read some lines he had scribbled down, namely: How does he explain this topic to his kids? Nettles had recently read an article about civil rights activist Ruby Sales, who said the question

that people need to ask each other is, “Where does it hurt?”

As a result, the standout ballad “Tuesday’s Broken” was born, and it addresses school shootings right off the bat: “Yesterday, hell rained down/Another kid, another school

in another town/I think about how to tell my son/And I think about how that one got a gun.” It segues into a person being driven to the edge by bullying: “What if we looked in her eyes and asked ‘Where does it hurt?’/Would she

find all she was worth?”Similarly striking songs touch

on broader themes, such as “Mother,” in which a parent ac-cepts a child no matter who that child loves, and “Bird in a Cage,” about people who feel trapped.

Sugarland back together after hiatus with lot to say
