    ! Note di produzione Questa è la storia dell’ascesa del gruppo più famigerato del mondo. Nel 1987, usando rime brutalmente vere e ritmi hardcore, cinque ragazzi —Ice Cube (O’SHEA JACKSON, JR.), Dr. Dre (COREY HAWKINS di Non-Stop), Eazy-E (JASON MITCHELL di Contraband), DJ Yella (NEIL BROWN, JR. di Fast & Furious) e MC Ren (ALDIS HODGE di Die Hard – Un buon giorno per morire) — hanno trasformato la loro frustrazione e rabbia nei confronti della vita nel loro quartiere a Los Angeles nell’arma più potente che avevano: la loro musica. Verso la fine degli anni ’80, le strade di Compton, California, erano tra le più pericolose del Paese. Il crack si stava diffondendo a una velocità tanto allarmante quanto il business violento delle bande che spingevano il suo uso. Il dipartimento di polizia di Los Angeles (LAPD) e la sua unità specializzata in gang conducevano una guerra contro la droga con una ferocia tanto incontrollata e senza freni da lasciare i residenti della comunità di quella cittadina della California del sud non semplicemente tesi ma scioccati, senza fiducia verso l’autorità e dolorosamente inaspriti. Eazy-E, un carismatico spacciatore e traffichino tanto sveglio da vedere un futuro nell’emergente scena rap di L.A., aveva un piano. Deciso a lasciarsi alle spalle la vita di strada si è messo in contatto con il suo amico Dr. Dre, un deejay locale che lavorava regolarmente nei club di Compton in coppia con DJ Yella. Anche loro erano stanchi di vicoli ciechi e affamati di cambiamento, e Eazy-E aveva le risorse e le connessioni per fare il grande cambiamento.

The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series.
