Band gets some payback from Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl’s decades long appreciation of Naked Raygun will be on full display Saturday at Wrigley Field. The Chicago quintet, hand picked by Grohl to open the Foo Fighters stadium concert along with local heroes Cheap Trick and Urge Overkill, inspired young Dave to dive into punk rock.

In a 1995 interview with the Tribune, Grohl described how he received his punk baptism while visiting a cousin in north suburban Evanston as a pre teen in the early ’80s.

"Before that I’d been in neighborhood bands (while growing up in Virginia) playing Who, Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and Beatles songs," he said. His cousin introduced him to a style of music that anyone with a little ambition and desire could learn to play, and took him to his first punk rock show: Naked Raygun with Rights of the Accused at the Cubby Bear, across the street from Wrigley Field. "I had my first Killing Joke T shirt, smoked my first joint, saw my first punk rock show," Grohl said. "It was a great week. From then on, I was a changed man."

Naked Raygun singer Jeff Pezzati, reached at his home in Amboy, Ill., says he remembers the show primarily because of guitarist Santiago Durango’s "blue Grover boots and beret."

"His guitar sounded like a submarine you’re listening to from above the surface of the water it was just ‘gaaaaah’ the whole night," Pezzati says. "Like a swarm of B 52 sized bees."

Grohl spotlighted Chicago and Naked Raygun in the HBO series "Sonic Highways" that he oversaw last year, and then invited Pezzati to join him onstage at a show at the Cubby Bear to play Raygun’s "Surf Combat."

"We did all one minute and 10 seconds of it," Pezzati recalls. "They had (Cheap Trick’s) Rick Nielsen up there, too. It was well received. After we played, they asked us about Wrigley Field."

The Cubs have been rocking Wrigley Field latelyand now Billy Joel and Foo Fighters are up to bat. This is Joel’s fourth concertat Wrigley. He performed solo in 2014 and twice in 2009 with Elton John. "It all seemed to fall in line for us the Riot Fest show couldn’t have gone better, and we’d heard rumors about Dave Grohl contacting us. He’d been giving us shoutouts from the stage for years, which was very nice of him."

The recognition comes at a time when Pezzati and bassist Pierre Kezdy have both been coping with health issues. Pezzati says his Parkinson’s disease is under better control, and he has learned how to manage his medication so that he’ll be in good shape to play shows. Kezdy suffered a stroke a few years ago, and is playing part time with the band; at Wrigley, Pezzati says, Kezdy will play baritone guitar while Fritz Doreza plays bass. The band also includes longtime drummer Eric Spicer and guitarist Bill Stephens, who replaced John Haggerty in the early ’90s.

Barrence Whitfield is still shrieking Steve Knopper

One night in England, Barrence Whitfield jumped off the stage into the crowd. "People parted (like) the Red Sea for me, and I fell flat on my " The veteran Boston area singer pauses. "Actually, you know what happened? Instead of falling on the concrete floor, which I was heading for, a fan jumped.

One night in England, Barrence Whitfield jumped off the stage into the crowd. "People parted (like) the Red Sea for me, and I fell flat on my " The veteran Boston area singer pauses. His older brother Marko had been bringing home punk records, but none really clicked until the Dead Boys’ "Sonic Reducer."

"I thought, this is it, this makes me want to tear down the walls in my room," he says. Durango, who had started playing with Marko in the city, called and said, "You should cut your hair and sing for us," Pezzati says. "I went from a structured suburban band in a basement with structured practices into this free for all style, in a band where everyone sucked at their instruments. The suburban bands had perfect sound, perfect strings, but these guys were just beating on their instruments. I thought they suck so bad, they just might be really good."

Naked Raygun expanded from those chaotic beginnings to carve out a huge legacy on the Chicago scene alongside likeminded bands Effigies, Articles of Faith and Big Black. They built a nationwide following on the back of classic albums ("Throb
facebook besthairbuy Throb," "All Rise," "Jettison") and melodic buzz saw anthems ("Home of the Brave," "I Don’t Know," "Rat Patrol," "Soldier’s Requiem"). It came with little commercial reward, but Naked Raygun has continued to play sporadic shows and is finishing a new studio album, which they hope to release in early 2016. In many ways, bands such as Raygun paved the way for the alternative rock breakthrough of the early ’90s, including Nirvana, for whom Grohl played drums, and later Foo Fighters.

Now it’s time for a bit of payback, thanks to Grohl. The Wrigley show will find Raygun playing in front of one of the biggest audiences of its career. "We’re not used to playing places that big, but when I take off my glasses, I can’t see more than 15 feet ahead," Pezzati says. "There’ll be a nice happy blur out there. If I can get through it without falling off the stage, that’ll be a good day."

Bigfoot hair samples for European study

In a project announced this week, Oxford University and Lausanne Museum of Zoology scientists appealed to museums, scientists and Yeti aficionados to share hair samples thought to be from the mythical ape like creature.

New genetic tests will be done on just a few strands of hair and should be completed within weeks. Even if the sample is judged to come from an unknown species, scientists should be able to tell how closely it is related to other species, including apes or humans.

Bryan Sykes of Oxford University said the group had already received many offers of samples to test, including blood, hair, and items supposedly chewed by Bigfoot. Sykes and colleagues plan to sift through the samples for the next few months before deciding which specimens to test. They will then publish
tedhair their results in a peer reviewed journal.

Other experts agreed recent advances made in DNA testing could theoretically solve the Bigfoot question.

"If the Yeti is real and somebody has found bits of their hair, you should be able to tell from the DNA in the hair if this is actually a Yeti," said Mark Thomas, a professor of evolutionary genetics at University College London. He is not connected to the Bigfoot project.

But Thomas was unsure how likely it was anyone might have actual Yeti hairs. Some scientists theorize Yetis are either a distinct hominid species, or a mix between homo sapiens and Neanderthals or other species. There is already evidence of interbreeding between homo sapiens and Neanderthals.

"If Yetis have survived for the last 30,000 years, they have probably had a pretty miserable existence and are a small population vulnerable to extinction," Thomas said. "It’s not as insane an idea as many might think, but the chances are pretty small."

Sykes said he has always been intrigued by stories of Yeti sightings, but would rely on science rather than such tales to prove if the stories are credible. "It’s not really possible to fabricate DNA evidence," he said.

He acknowledged that the chances of proving the existence of a new Yeti species are low, but said that the study was still worthwhile. "If we don’t look, we’ll never find out," he said.

Bigfoot is a legendary giant, hairy, ape like beast that is variously known as Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman, Yeti and other names. It supposedly lives in heavily forested or snowy mountains. Although most scientists don’t believe in the beast’s existence, decades of eyewitness reports, suggestive photos and stories have kept the legend alive.

David Frayer, a professor of biological anthropology at Kansas University, told The Associated Press in an email that "No serious scientist (would) treat Yeti
clip in hair wholesale as a worthy research project."

He said previous tests on supposed Yeti hairs have already been done "and they turned out to be from a bison.".

Amnestied Russian punk band pair criticize Putin after release

KRASNOYARSK/NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia (Reuters) Two members of Russian punk protest band Pussy Riot freed from prison on Monday derided President Vladimir Putin amnesty that led to their early release as a propaganda stunt and promised to fight for human rights.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 24, shouted "Russia without Putin" following her release from a Siberian prison, hours after band mate Maria Alyokhina, 25, was freed from jail in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod.

The women had two months left to serve but walked free days after a pardon from Putin freed former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky eight months before the end of his more than 10 year jail term, decisions widely seen as intended to improve Russia image before it hosts the Winter Olympics in February.

"It is a disgusting and cynical act," Tolokonnikova, looking relaxed in a black coat and chequered shirt, told Reuters at her grandmother apartment building in the snowbound Siberian city of Kransoyarsk where she was jailed.

Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina were sentenced to two years in prison for a profanity laced protest against Putin in a Russian Orthodox church in 2012 after a trial Kremlin critics said was part of a clampdown on dissent in his third presidential term.

The case caused an outcry in the West, but there was much less sympathy for the women at home than abroad. They had been due for release in early March.

Putin, who denies jailing people for political reasons, has said the amnesty would show that the Russian state is humane.

The measure, however, does not benefit opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is barred from elections for years by a five year suspended sentence on a theft charge he says was Kremlin revenge for his activism. Putin, in power since 2000, has not ruled out seeking another six year term in 2018.

Alyokhina echoed critics who said the amnesty was far too narrow and not an act of mercy but a political ply by Putin.

"I do not think it is a humanitarian act, I think it is a PR stunt," she said in comments to the Russian Internet and TV channel Dozhd. "My attitude to the president has not changed."

Tolokonnikova, who staged a hunger strike earlier this year and drew attention to stark conditions and long hours of mandatory labor
facebook besthairbuy in the jail where she was previously held, said she would fight for prisoners rights.

"Everything is just starting, so fasten your seat belts," she said, suggesting Pussy Riot jailed for a "punk prayer" in the main cathedral of Russia dominant faith would continue to use attention grabbing protests to make their point.

CORRECTS LEFT TO RIGHT Feminist punk group Pussy Riot members, from left, Yekaterina Samutsevich, Ma "We will unite our efforts in our human rights activity," Alyokhina said in Nizhny Novgorod. "We will try to sing our the song to the end."

"I NOT AFRAID"

Bundled in a thick green prison jacket and with her long curly hair loose, Alyokhina said she would have rejected the amnesty if that been a option. She said she wants to focus on fighting for the rights of those still behind bars.

"I not afraid of anything anymore, believe me," she said.

In an about face, Putin unexpectedly pardoned Khodorkovsky, the former Yukos oil company chief who had been in jail since his arrest in 2003 and conviction in two trials that critics said were punishment for challenging the Kremlin leader.

Khodorkovsky, who was freed on Friday and flown to Germany, said Putin is seeking to improve his image while also showing that he is confident in his grip on power after weathering large opposition protests and winning a third term last year.

Putin wants to send "a signal to society and the world that he feels secure and is not afraid", said Khodorkovsky, who supporters feared would remain in jail throughout Putin tenure, in an interview with Russian magazine the New Times.

The amnesty is also expected to spare from trial 30 people arrested after a Greenpeace protest against Arctic oil drilling. They face charges punishable by up to seven years in jail.

A pro Kremlin lawmaker said he thought the amnesty and pardon would help to remove irritants in ties with the West.

"Political grievances against Russia will shrink somewhat," Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the international affairs committee in Russia parliament, said.

But Putin has said the amnesty was not drafted with the Greenpeace activists or Pussy Riot in mind. In an annual news conference last week, he described Pussy Riot protest as disgraceful, saying it "went beyond all boundaries".

Rights activists have estimated the amnesty will free fewer than 1,500 of the 564,000 convicts in Russian prisons. Another 114,000 people are in pre trial detention, the government says.

"After losing approximately 50 percent of her hair, Jenna regrew it over a six month period. Jenna continues to struggle with minor hair and eyebrow loss and most recently loss of eyelashes."

So the family started It’s Just Hair to collect hair to donate to others who have lost their own. Because, after all, it’s only hair.

"The quality of the hairpieces provided by Locks of Love enables these children to have normal lives, including involvement in sports even swimming without the fear of the hairpiece coming off," Cooley said.

Ronaldo suspended for pulling defender’s hair

SAO PAULO (AP) Ronaldo was suspended for one match by a Brazilian sports tribunal on Tuesday for pulling the hair and pinching an opponent in a Brazilian league match.

The three time world player of the year, who could have been suspended for up to three matches, will not be allowed to play in Corinthians’ Brazilian league match against rival Santos on Sunday.

The tribunal voted to suspend Ronaldo after TV images showed him grabbing the hair and pinching defender Fahel in a ball dispute inside the area in a scoreless draw against Botafogo on May 17. Ronaldo was retaliating for Fahel grabbing his jersey.
