One mark of the overall quality: even the disappointing entries aren't a total loss...
...everyone from the President to Matchbox 20. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the person to get the most heat is not Rob Thomas, but Jenkins’ sixth grade teacher. “I was just a kid with dyslexia and ADD and he was a teacher with a fairly low IQ,” says Jenkins. “He told me that he thought that I wouldn’t graduate high school and that like some other guy, I’d probably be in a juvenile hall.
