...Mars and Venus vacations and a one-man show that began with a Broadway appearance last February and will continue at arenas across the country this summer. Gray also has a movie deal with 20th Century Fox and a planned sitcom. His new CD features a Mars and Venus song co-written by that Renaissance man Gray himself and performed as a sort of call and response by his-and-her vocalists. (Sample lyrics: Her: "Every time I try to tell you something, you get mad and run off to your cave." Him: "You're so up and down with...
DIED. ROSE MONROE, 77, the can-do poster gal of World War II who inspired America's female foot soldiers to join the work force; in Clarksville, Ind. A factory employee in the 1940s, Monroe literally embodied the character Rosie the Riveter, made famous by the song of the same name and the familiar J. Howard Miller poster.

But so far, Dr. Death's jazz debut has received a chilly response. New York Post reviewer Dan Aquilante described most of the tunes as depressing, adding "no one is going to accuse Dr. Death...
...result, Flaming Pie is a relaxed, easygoing album; the songs sail blithely along, like boats on a lake on a bright, breezy day. The knock on McCartney's solo work has always been that it is overly sweet; too much light, not enough illumination. Now that McCartney is 54, however, age has brought to his work a welcome melancholy; there's a streak of gray in his golden voice. The Song We Were Singing, a gentle number looking back at the psychedelic bull sessions of the 1960s, has a jaunty feel but also a wistful one; Heaven on a Sunday...
