...bunch of kids in unknown punk bands, like L.A.'s Black Flag, figured out that "calling up a pressing plant and getting their own record manufactured wasn't the mysterious, exclusive privilege of the giant record companies on the coasts." Black Flag's guitarist and co-founder, Gregg Ginn, used the business acumen he picked up from a surplus radio equipment business he operated out of his home to market his band's records by mail. Soon he began to put out albums by other bands who, like Black Flag, were too rough-hewn and eccentric to attract major record...
...Show, based in New York City, to such cities as Chicago, Dallas and Philadelphia, and will soon have them on about 20 stations. Viacom hopes O&A can duplicate their ratings success in New York, where they are often No. 1 in their prime demographic-- men 25 to 49. Gregg (Opie) Hughes (he looks like Opie from The Andy Griffith Show), 36, and Anthony Cumia, 39, are the descendants of Howard Stern, replacing his sour trangressiveness with male realpolitik: while Stern interviews strippers, O&A just want them to take off their clothes...
...renaissance of the Cheyenne River Sioux began with a drunk in a dumpster. One day, 11 years ago, a man passed out while foraging for food in Gregg Bourland's garbage. Bourland was minding his own business - a video store in Eagle Butte, S.D. - when he found the guy. "Why do people drink like that?"

What American export is hot in Japan these days? Cinnamon buns--big, gooey pastries with an aroma that could send you into insulin shock. In 1999, when Atlanta-based Cinnabon opened its first outlet there, 300 people lined up to buy its buns, says Gregg Kaplan, president of the chain. Rather than try to sell cinnamon buns in Japan on its own, the company partnered with Sugakico, a successful operator of a chain of ramen-noodle restaurants. Two years later, sales are five times as high at Japanese outlets as at those in the U.S. of comparable size and location...
