Allee Willis — native Detroiter and
award-winning songwriter, including
"September" and "Boogie Wonderland"
for Earth, Wind & Fire and "I'll Be There
For You (Theme from Friends)"and

co-author of The Color Purple musical
— has written a new one: "The D"The
ode to Detroit, "a song to make people
feel instantly happy" that she hopes
will become Detroit's unofficial theme
song, is the center of her project, "We
Sing the D," in which she's had many
of her celebrity friends — Lily Tomlin,
Martha Reeves, Mary Wilson and Ricki
Lake among them — filmed singing
the song. In 2014, she held sing-alongs
around Detroit and was joined by
more than 6,000 Detroiters — and on
Monday, Oct. 26, at 1 p.m. at the DIA,
she's holding another giant "The D"
Sing-Along, to be filmed for use in "The

AT THE MOVIES

Opening Oct. 23: Rock the Kasbah
has all the elements of a funny film
and here's hoping that director Barry
Levinson, 72, ends his dry spell with
a hit. Bill Murray plays Richie Lanz, a
has-been rock manager who takes his
last remaining client (Zooey Deschanel)
on a USO tour of Afghanistan. She
dumps him and Lanz finds himself in
Kabul, abandoned and broke. He then
finds an Afghan girl with a great voice
who wants to be the first woman on
her country's version of American Idol.
Lanz is aided by a sharpie hooker (Kate
Hudson, 36), a war profiteer (Scott
Caan, 39) and a wacko mercenary
(Bruce Willis).

country club that is mostly Jewish. The
star character is David Meyers (Craig
Roberts), a Jewish college student who
works at the club. Getty (Paul Reiser,
58) one of the club's richest guys, takes
an interest in David and mentors him.
Meanwhile, David's father, Sam (Richard
Kind, 58) is more working class, and
he and Getty sometimes clash. David's
mother, Judy, is played by Jennifer
Dirty Dancing Grey, 55. (While Grey's
husband, actor Clark Gregg, isn't Jewish,
Grey recently said that their only child,
Stella, 14, decided on her own she
wanted to have a bat mitzvah, and she
had one.)
