Human Rights evolve
from hardcore scene

HR plays the Georgia Theater
Saturday. Gypsy Cab Company
opens.
Paul Hudson or Ras Hailu Ga
briel Joseph I, or HR as he is more
commonly known, and his brother,
drummer Earl Hudson, were
among the founding fathers of the
Washington, D.C., hardcore scene.
Their band, Bad Brains, mixed
hardcore, funk, reggae and Rasta
farianism into a sound that was to
tally foreign at the time.
Bad Brains’ rebellious spirit at
tracted a loyal audience, but it also
attracted trouble. The band was
practically banned in D.C. and HR
was arrested for marijuana posses
sion and spent four months in jail.
The band was in the middle of re
cording “I Against I," their first
mtyor label album, so HR per
formed the lyrics over the tele
phone from jail.
HR and Earl left Bad Brains in
1987 to follow their Rastafarian be
liefs and Human Rights, or HR as
it is also more commonly known,
was the result.
‘The reason I left Bad Brains
was my personal calling ... my con
victions to religion and my own
spiritual growth,” HR said.

HR: Left Bad Brains for reli
gious reasons
gether for one year and has just re
leased its first album, “Charge,” on
SST Records.
“Charge” is a major departure
from the Bad Brains days. HR has
toned down his onstage antics and
is playing reggae music in praise of
Emporer Haile Sulassie.
“It’s not Hike Bad Brains) but it’s
still got the same sort of feel to it,”
sound engineer Maxicie Cam ball
said.
HR hasn’t turned his back on his
hardcore roots, despite his change
in musical style.
“Don’t get me wrong. I still like
rock and roll. One of my favorite
bands is Follow For Now, HR said.

Crosby, Stills and Nash will play
Lakewood Amphitheatre Friday.
Tickets are still available.
Crosby, Stills and Nash are on
the road again, doing what they’ve
been doing for the last 21 years —
making music that they want to
make and that people want to hear.
The band is touring to promote
their new album, “Live It Up,”
which will be in the stores
Tuesday. It’s their first album in
almost eight years.
“We’ve been on tour every single
year since 1977 except for the year
that David (Crosby) was in jail, so
we’re not cashing in on shit,”
Graham Nash said. “The shows are
going great, the people are great.”
A spokesman for Crosby, Stills
and Nash’s publicity company, The
Lippin Group, stated tnat it is
pleased with the response.
“It’s doing pretty well, it’s been
getting good reviews. We consider
it a success,” the spokesman said.
The set for the “Live It Up” Tour
was created by Tony Award win
ning set designer Jules Fisher and
Peggy Eisenhauer, and is C, S and
N’s fanciest one ever.
“Our version of productions in
the past have been two light bulbs
and a rug, and now it’s more elab
orate,” Nash said.
Crosby, Stills and Nash: Still "Live It Up” as their tour brings them to Lakewood on Friday
There won’t be any flash pots or
explosions or half-naked women
shaking their butts across the
stage; Nash described the show as
“tasteful.”
What fans should expect is
music and lots of it. The band will
be performing many of its classics,
as well as songs from its new
album.
“It’s what we’ve always done, it’s
songs that mean a lot to us and
come from the heart," he said.
“Come expecting a good time ”
Crosby, Stills and Nash will be
finishing their U.S. tour in late
September and want to take their
show abroad.
‘We hope to tour behind the Iron
Curtain into communist countries,
if there are any left,” Nash said.
Makeup makes ‘Dick’
summer blockbuster
By LISA KENDALL
Contributing Writer
Everyone ready for this sum
mer’s blockbuster? Dick Tracy is in
town and ready to get rid of all the
bad guys. Warren Beatty, in his
first big screen role since “Ishtar,”
shines as the latest comic book
hero comes to life at the movies.
“Dick Tracy” has all the makings
of this summer’s biggie — big name
stars, a good story, and nifty cine
matography. The movie was filmed
using only seven colors, the same
as the comic strip in the paper.
This combined with the great
makeup used for the villains
makes the movie true to the comic.
Beatty does well as Dick Tracy,
giving the character depth and
style. Also playing the role of pro
ducer and director, he shows us
that he is an excellent behind-the-
scenes artist.
Madonna, as Breathless Ma
honey, seems sort of irrelevant to
the plot for a large portion of the
film. It was hard not to wonder at
first if her character was really
necessary at all. But by the end of
the movie, she redeems herself as a
competent actress. She even has
some of the best lines.
A1 Pacino steals the show as Big
Boy Caprice, the baddest of the bad
guys. He is the central villain
around which the movie revolves.
Caprice is determined to get rid of
Tracy and completely corrupt the
city. The great thing about this
character is that he seems to be a
parody of Pacino’s earlier God
father roles.
The absolute best part of the
movie is the makeup. It’s some of
the most impressive ever seen. The
movie villains look exactly like the
comic strip villains — try to recog
nize your favorite stars under sev
eral pounds of putty. Dustin
Hoffman is there along with Wil
liam Forsythe, James Caan and
Dick Van Dyke. Watch the credits
to find out who they play, because
they are virtually unrecognizable
under the makeup.
The main problem with this
movie is perhaps the excessive at
tention to the fine details of
keeping the film just like the comic
strip. It is so interesting to watch
the visual aspects of the movie (the
colors, the scenery and the people)
that it is very easy to lose track of
the plot. On the other hand, the
plot itself is not really strong or in
teresting enough to hold the atten
tion of the audience for very long.
But the two together, plot and vi
sual, work to create the best of the
latest comic book movies.
Move over, Batman. Dick Tracy
is in town.
