...nerd watch on Family Matters began a few weeks after its debut in September 1989, when the show's ostensible stars, the Winslow family, were visited by the kid next door, a nasal-voiced geek with huge glasses, pants hiked to his armpits and unflagging enthusiasm. Played with Jerry Lewis abandon by Jaleel White, the character caught on with audiences and quickly pulled a Fonzie, taking over the series. As years went on, the show grew increasingly outlandish.

Springer, 54, launched his talk show in 1991, having served as mayor of Cincinnati in his early 30s and then anchoring a local news show there.

But it was equally obvious that the fire that fueled the brilliance of the era has long died out. Dylan's voice is still a nasal whine, but his lyrical efforts can no longer redeem it. Youthful abandon continues to stretch boundaries, but any spirit of adventure has been replaced by sad desperation. Halfway through Dylan's unintentionally elegaic performance, my schoolgirl friends stopped drinking, smoking and fondling each other. They sat slumped in their chairs...
