...These spots will not go after Kerry because that would set the wrong tone, say Bush advisers. "We're going through a process: first, correct everything that's been said about the President, and then we're going to correct the impressions about the [Democratic] nominee," says pollster Matthew Dowd. The ads, made by consultant Mark McKinnon of Austin, Texas, promise to be edgy but warm. In the corporate world of Bush, the onetime singer-songwriter stands out. Most of the staff members use PCs; he has a PowerBook. Most are lifelong Republicans; he is a former Democrat with...
...touring in support of Punk Rock, a collection of new recordings of songs written two decades ago. The material doesn’t quite stand up to the melodies on modern classic OOOH! and fan favorite Fear & Whiskey, but their live show is unforgettable. Madman songwriter extraordinaire Johnny Dowd and Jake Brennan and the Confidence Men open. Tickets $12, $15 day of show. 9 p.m. The Middle East Downstairs...

...real triumph of Taboo, however, is O'Dowd's music and lyrics, among the best I?ve heard on Broadway in the past few seasons. (With the exception of two old hits, Karma Chameleon and Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, all the songs are new.) The show opens with an infectious cabaret number that launches the show as effectively as the Wilkomen number in Cabaret: "I'm known/ In all the wrong places / I'm one of those faces / You'll never forget." The score ranges from Brecht-Weill for the age of irony (Ich Bin Kunst...
