The Stranger Suggests…

Ray Davies
(MUSIC) Ray Davies isn’t getting any younger, and you should see him while you still can. He’s 62, and anyone of sound mind is aware that the Kinks frontman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. His new (and interestingly, first official) solo record may lack the immediacy and intellect of his early offerings, but he’ll undoubtedly spend a fair amount of time excavating his back catalog. (Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave, 467-5510. 8 pm, $32—$43.50 plus fees, all ages.) HANNAH LEVIN

Anderson Cooper is a low-rater.

Bono is a financier of “imperialist garbage.”

Neal Pollack is “sad all the time.”

Keith Richards “can’t wait.”

Old rocks are heading home.
