...Marvelous3's lead singer and guitarist Butch Walker looks like a disturbing mixture of Alice Cooper and Danny Zuko. Appearances are often deceiving, but in this instance Walker's countenance is as paradoxical as the refreshing blend of peppy lyrics and heavy riffs of Hey! Album, the major label debut of Marvelous3. The album has a surprisingly crisp sound, despite the apparent dichotomy between the band's power instrumentals and unabashedly poppy lyrics and up-beat vocals.

Conservatives--and even some feminists--have been making the argument for years, most recently in books like What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us by Danielle Crittenden. But it's Wendy Shalit's debut book, A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue (Free Press), that is currently bubbling in the public debate.

This earlier work, making its off-Broadway debut, takes a complex premise--twin sisters embody women's changing roles from the 1950s through the '80s--but hammers it with obviousness. Swoosie Kurtz plays both the "good" sister Myrna, who goes from soda-fountain virgin to Republican matron, and the "bad" Myra, who becomes a radical terrorist. The play depends too heavily on easy pop-cultural cliches and the usual hit parade of nostalgic oldies. Forget...
