...generation of fans to discover his flamboyant guitar playing. Santana is now enjoying a view he hasn't seen in two decades: his new album Supernatural sits in the Top 5 and has sold more than 2 million copies. "I only look for headliners," Davis says. "An artist has to be able to fulfill in person the magic on a record...
...slow death." Davis divined a vast pool of potential buyers awakened by the Lilith Fair Tour, so Arista flogged the album at MTV and radio for months until the dam finally broke.

And then to stoop even lower, she ruined her wonderful entrance at the MTV Video Music Awards by gushing on and on about Prince (or the Artist or whatever); he, meanwhile, didn't even crack a smile. She might find herself in Chain Gang 3: Prison Babes Mutiny if she doesn't pull a John Travolta....Here's a good quote from Tori Spelling: "I read the most appalling stuff about myself: 'She has bug eyes,' 'Her hair...
