CHORUS GIRLS TWIRL AROUND IN HEADdresses a la Busby Berkeley. Gymnasts flex, and one inverts himself into a handstand minutes long. A busty blond croons a pop tune. Then Nazi soldiers march in. No, it's not Broadway's Cabaret, but an even more genuine article, staged by Berlin's Theater des Westens to depict how Hitler's regime fused popular culture and propaganda. BERLIN CABARET, at Washington's Kennedy Center through this week, is gloriously mounted if scantily plotted.

Find a tune you like and have faith...
...album, "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)," is getting a fair amount of airplay on progressive radio stations, and for good reason. The simple message of the song. David Lowery's passionate vocal performance and Johnny Hickman's solid lead guitar make for a great pop tune. With a chorus like "What the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra, so I can get you in bed/What the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head," "Teen Angst" bares it all in the name of rock...
