...hated it. I couldn't conceive of doing music homework"), and after high school he spent about three months at Parsons School of Design in New York City before dropping out and devoting himself to music. In 1992 his band, the Wallflowers, released its self-titled debut. It was a critical and commercial flop. "I thought [40,000 copies sold] was tremendous," Dylan says. "But obviously, from a business point of view, that's not so outstanding." After a change of labels (from Virgin to Interscope), the band's second album, Bringing Down the Horse, became a surprise multiplatinum...

According to conventional wisdom, it's a movie that should by now have come and gone from theaters, made its video debut and begun rotating on pay-cable channels. It is, after all, a teen comedy that might easily have gone the way of last spring's "Whatever It Takes," starring people who no one besides US magazine editors have ever heard of and which opened to a paltry $2.3 million...
...cheerleading was kind of death," says Universal's marketing president Marc Shmuger, who thus veered the campaign away from cheerleading, played up the rivalry between the black and white squads and changed the title from "Cheer Fever" to the more combative "Bring It On." When the trailer made its debut in front of "Big Momma's House" in June, its response from teenagers, twentysomethings, blacks and whites indicated that they had a crossover hit on their hands...
