...Crows' debut CD, August and Everything After, now in the top 15 on Billboard's album charts, shows that this Bay Area band is capable of creating credible, sometimes beautiful, rock 'n' roll. The Crows' moody, muted music is designed for the young and lost, as it charts a path of wanderlust and world- weariness that roams somewhere between Kerouac and Prozac. Singer- songwriter Adam Duritz writes about people who are damaged and drifting, their lives fashionably fraying around them like jeans torn out at the knees. "Step out the front door like a ghost," he murmurs on Round Here...
...current college-age generation, watching "Bonnie and Clyde" is a little bit like traveling back in time. It features Faye Dunaway, Warren Beatty, Gene Hackman and Gene Wilder, long members of the Hollywood annals of stardom, in one of their debut performances. It also provides the escapistoutlaw inspiration for some contemporary faves like "Thelma and Louise" and "A Perfect World." But the outlaw-chase film is at its very best with "Bonnie and Clyde...
...Kids on the Block were still teenagers when their 1986 debut album, New Kids on the Block, changed the face of prepubescent pop by putting a teen- idol spin on a black urban beat.

...NdegeOcello (whose name means "free like a bird" in Swahili) and her career are starting to take wing with the release of her debut album, Plantation Lullabies. "A plantation can be your job, your marriage, anyplace where you don't feel free," she says, explaining the title. "Lullabies are songs that soothe little children to sleep, but they can also be empowering." She has a new video on MTV (she is bald in the arty black and white clip; she has since let her hair grow out a bit), and a Rolling Stone critics' poll chose NdegeOcello...
...play made its debut on Broadway in 1976 with John Gielgud as a scruffy but glib old poet and Ralph Richardson as the addled "man of letters" who has invited him home. Last year it resurfaced in London with Pinter in the Richardson part and veteran comic actor Paul Eddington (TV's Yes, Minister) succeeding Gielgud. Last week it returned to Broadway with Jason Robards as the bonhomous householder and Christopher Plummer as his versifying guest...
