Mark McGrathMark McGrath, the Sugar Ray frontman, cooled off after his Tropicana gig Aug. 8 by hitting the blackjack tables. James Gandolfini is a fan of the mixed martial arts. Who knew ... other than anyone who's caught an episode of "The Sopranos"? Gandolfini cheered the New Breed Fighters at a mixed martial arts event at Resorts Casino on Saturday, while Danny Bonaduce celebrated his 50th birthday at Bally's on Friday night.
The former Danny Partridge also grabbed a guitar and jammed with the band Fosterchild. Reuben Kinkaid would be so proud. The record starts out with an ode to women and everything about them that men admire every day. “Girls Were Made To Love” is a cutesy, reggae-based love song (We think it still classifies as a love song, even if it is dedicated to all women everywhere).
It’s been six years since we heard any of the laid-back rock Sugar Ray became famous for, and it seems that in the prolonged break nothing much has changed. They’re still producing feel-good tunes that belong at the poolside during your summer holiday. The unfortunate thing is that their new album, “Music For Cougars,” while being vaguely cute in its theme, gives listeners little in the way of substantial music to get their teeth into.
