Evan Dando | the Lemonheads | Angelina Jolie | Eric Clapton

Guitar Hero

by American Way Staff

Among the memorable album releases from way back in 1992 are Eric Clapton's Unplugged, R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People, Dr. Dre's The Chronic, and It's a Shame about Ray from the Lemonheads, a band led by this guy in the hoodie - Evan Dando. You remember him, right? Well, do you know what Dando doesn't remember about the stardom that followed Ray? Kissing Angelina Jolie, that's what. Read on in this section to find out how that's possible.

 

Fine and Dando

As Evan Dando revisits the 1992 album that made him a star, we offer four things you should know about him. By James Mayfield

Fifteen years is a long time in rock and roll. Long enough to gain fame, lose it and yourself along the way, and recapture it again. Long enough, even, to forget that you once locked lips with Angelina Jolie. And that's exactly what's happened to Evan Dando since his pop-rock band, the Lemonheads, first gained wide recognition for its 1992 cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson."
