Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:39:23 GMT

Any fan of D.C.’s 1980s punk and new wave music scene has likely heard of Razz — the explosive and original band destined to be the next big thing.Yet, many of those entertained and fascinated by Razz — including me — never got the chance to see them, between their start in 1971 and breakup in late 1979.Spoiler alert: The D.C.-area band regarded by many as most-likely to reach rock stardom, didn’t.Yet, Razz’s impact continues to fuel interest about the band that became an area phenomenon, amid a club scene dominated by cover bands and a record industry that found them impossible to label.Saturday, filmmakers Jeff Krulik and Richard Taylor will screen an extended director’s cut of “Razz (The) Documentary,” at AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in Silver Spring, Maryland.“When you saw Razz at a small place, like The Keg (in Georgetown), or Childe Harold (in Dupont Circle) or the Psychedelly (in Bethesda), the experience was ‘this is incredible — this is nat...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:39:23 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Climate activists staged a 10th straight day of protests in Berlin, blocking key roads during rush hour and bringing parts of the German capital to a standstill Friday before being removed by police.Members of the Last Generation group glued themselves to the road, causing a traffic jam for commuters driving into the city. The group wants to draw attention to the threat of global warming and the need for governments to step up measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions.At a crossing in the north of the capital, many drivers waited patiently for police to clear the road, though some hurled abuse at the activists, calling them “terrorists” and “scum.” Several pedestrians applauded the protesters, giving them a thumbs-up, while one passerby offered them food and water.Last Generation has acknowledged that its protests are provocative, but it argues that by stirring friction it can encourage debate within society about climate change.“Sure, there are those who insult or cri...

BBC Chairman Richard Sharp quits over report into Boris Johnson loan

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:39:23 GMT

LONDON — BBC Chairman Richard Sharp will resign after a damning report into his appointment at the top of the U.K.’s public broadcaster, and a bitter row over a six-figure loan to Boris Johnson.Sharp, an ex-investment banker and Conservative donor, secured the top scrutiny role at the public broadcaster in February 2021, in a move signed off by the then-prime minister.But, in a report published Friday, independent barrister Adam Heppinstall found Sharp failed to declare two “potential perceived conflicts of interest” when going through the appointments process for the BBC post. Sharp confirmed he would stand down at the end of June, although said the breach was “inadvertent and not material.”The findings in part relate to Johnson’s securing of an £800,000 loan from the financier Sam Blyth while prime minister, first brought to light through reporting by the Sunday Times.
