Chris Carrabba has a fine, high voice and looks like a genetic cross between Luke Perry and Jason Priestley. But these attributes have little to do with his success. Frequently, Carrabba--who goes by the stage name Dashboard Confessional--doesn't even sing during his performances. He just strums an acoustic guitar while the audience of mostly middle-class white kids shouts every word of his desperate, heartbroken lyrics in a sort of primal-scream karaoke. "It's almost cultlike," says Carrabba of his fans' spooky intensity. "I know they're endearing songs, but there are a lot of endearing...

...state of pop music, 1985: the stakes are even bigger than the hair. Tipper Gore (Mariel Hemingway) and a group of Capitol wives are out to legislate against "porn rock."

...past, Jason Priestley has played roles that have propelled him into nationwide teen idolhood. Similarly, Ronnie Bostock, the heart-throb B-movie actor that Priestly plays in Richard Kwietniowski's debut film occupies an equivalent pop-culture status. Ronnie's biggest fan, however, is not the typical hormone-racked female teenager, but rather the established middle-aged English writer, Giles De'Ath, convincingly played by John Hurt. It's a good showcase for Hurt's talents, the pretty performance of Fiona Loewi and the budding skills of Kwietniowski. It also presents an interesting dilemma about how an elderly man reclaims...
