Tonight the Music Box is screening a documentary about Rock-afire and the subculture surrounding this band.

Welcome back! Normally watching the news is not something for fanfare, but yesterday CBS 2 Chicago welcomed back long-time anchor Bill Kurtis to the team.
With that familiar voice, Kurtis will be doing a segment called Cold Case Minute (spun off from his A&E show Cold Case Files) a couple days of the week during the evening news on CBS.
