Jubilant rappers N.W.A. join Hall of Fame with attitude and a selfie

NEW YORK - California rappers N.W.A. finally took their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday, jubilant about their transformation from one of the most hated bands in America to music’s mainstream. N.W.A., formed in the 1980s in the troubled Compton neighborhood of Los Angeles and enjoying new fame through the 2015 biopic “Straight Outta Compton,” were only the fifth hip hop act ever to be voted into the Hall of Fame. They had been nominated three times before. The group made waves for their often inflammatory songs that reflected the violence, crime and anti-police sentiments of their neighborhood, but went on to sell more than 100 million records. Founding member Ice Cube said the group had earned their place in the Hall of Fame, just as the pioneers of jazz, blues, punk, rock and pop before them. “We have come a long way from being so hated in the industry to

making it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Ice Cube said. “Are we rock and roll? You’re goddam right we’re rock and roll. Rock and roll is not conforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and in life.” N.W.A. celebrated with Dr. Dre taking a selfie on stage of the group. British metal band Deep Purple, soft rock-pop group Chicago, singer Steve Miller, and 1970s rock band Cheap Trick rounded out the 2016 inductees, who were chosen by fans and more than 800 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Artists are eligible for inclusion 25 years after the release of their first recording. Miller, who moved from blues

to pop and back again to produce 1970s hits such as “The Joker” and “Fly Like an Eagle,” lashed out backstage at the induction process. He criticized restrictions over music and video licensing for the show and complained about being offered only two tickets for family and friends for the ceremony. “This came so close to not happening,” Miller said of his appearance at Friday’s ceremony. “They make it so unpleasant.” British band Deep Purple, formed in 1968, performed their signature hit “Smoke on the Water.” Introducing the band, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, called them timeless, pioneering and mesmerizing. Chicago, which fused jazz and rock, performed their upbeat hit “25 or 6 to 4,” but left out what was arguably their best-known song, the 1976 romantic ballad “If You Leave Me Now.” The ceremony will be broadcast on HBO on April 30.

John Kerry makes emotional visit to Hiroshima memorial

HIROSHIMA - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has become the first sitting secretary of state to visit the revered memorial to the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. Kerry, EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini and other foreign ministers from the Group of Seven, who are in Japan for two days of talks, visited the site of the world’s first use of an atomic weapon in warfare on Monday local time.

Melissa McCarthy and ‘The Boss’ Narrowly Beat ‘Batman v Superman’

LOS ANGELES - Melissa McCarthy’s star power lifted “The Boss” to an estimated $23.5 million opening weekend despite bad reviews and rough word-of-mouth

for the R-rated comedy. If those projections hold, it will be enough to narrowly topple “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” from first place at the weekend box

office. As it stands, the superhero match-up fell just short of retaining the top slot, earning $23.4 million and bringing its total after three weeks to $296.7 million. Given that

this is essentially a statistical dead heat, it is possible that those positions could shift once final numbers roll in on Monday morning. With “Spy,” “Identity Thief” and now “The Boss,” McCarthy has become one of the most reliable comic draws in the movie business. “She has a hot streak going like no other comedian, male or female, working today,” said Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations. “You have to consider the lineage of Eddie Murphy in the ‘80s, Jim Carrey in the ‘90s and Adam Sandler in the aughts. She is their heir apparent.” Despite McCarthy’s popularity, “The Boss” could have trouble showing endurance. The film’s middling C+ CinemaScore signals that audiences agree with critics that the picture is flawed. The film is a collaboration between McCarthy and her husband, the director and co-writer Ben Falcone, who previously teamed on 2014’s “Tammy.” It centers on a business icon who is brought low after she is convicted of insider trading. Universal distributed the $29 million production across 3,480 theaters. McCarthy is the film’s big draw, with 76% of ticket buyers surveyed

reporting that they turned out to see the comedian. Women comprised 67% of the audience, with 51% of the opening crowd clocking in over the age of 35. “She is absolutely a bankable movie star,” said Nick Carpou, president of domestic distribution at Universal. “It’s another number one opening for her.” The weekend’s other new release, STX Entertainment’s “Hardcore Henry,” struggled to break through, earning a feeble $5.1 million from 3,015 theaters for a fifth place finish. The studio acquired the point-of-view thriller in a bidding war at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, paying a reported $10 million for the rights. The opening weekend crowd drew heavily from the gamer set, with 72% of ticket buyers saying they played first-person shooter video games such as “Call of Duty” and “Halo.” Disney’s “Zootopia” scored a third place finish with roughly $14.5 million, bringing its total to $296.2 million after six weeks in theaters, while Universal’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” nabbed fourth place with $6.4 million, taking its total to $46.7 million after three weeks of release.

To increase regional revenue

Badung build hotel and gas station

MANGUPURA The government of Badung continues to increase the source of income in order to boost the regionally generated revenue (PAD). This richest district begins to design so that the regional

budget can increase revenue by building hotel and gas station. It was stated by Deputy Regent of Badung, Ketut Suiasa, Sunday (Apr. 10). This Golkar politician said that according to the regent’s directive, the government is now drafting the management of the Badung regional budget. Other than directed to provision of local

infrastructure and basic public services, the district government will also direct for investments that will be managed by local government-owned enterprise. For example, it can be realized by building tourist accommodation, such as hotels. Hotel... Continued on page 2

Their trip was a stark reminder that looming over the current round of G7 talks is the history of the city they’re being held in. It also comes a day after State Department official said Kerry won’t apologize for the twin bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hiroshima was devastated when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the city in August 1945. The bomb, which led to the end of World War II, killed 140,000 people -- either initially from the impact or later due to radiation exposure. Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second bomb on the port city of Nagasaki, killing about 70,000 people. Under tight security, the diplomats laid wreaths at Peace Memorial Park then walked to the Atomic Bomb Dome. The ruin, which is the only structure left standing near the bomb’s hypocenter, services a as a memorial to the people killed in the bombing. Beforehand, they toured the peace museum documenting the devastating impact of the attack, which houses victims’ and survivors’ burnt clothing and personal effects. Together, these three sites stand as a powerful symbol for nuclear disarmament. ??”Everyone in the world should see and feel the power of this memorial. It is a stark, harsh, compelling reminder not only of our obligation to end the threat of nuclear weapons, but to rededicate all our effort to avoid war itself,” Kerry wrote in a message in the site’s guestbook. “War must be the last resort -- never the first choice. This memorial compels us all to redouble our efforts to change the world, to find peace and build the future so yearned for by citizens everywhere.” Despite the message’s pacific tone, a senior State Department official traveling with Kerry said emphatically that America’s top diplomat will not issue an apology for its use of nuclear weapons and the devastation it causes.
