Stephan Jenkins is the voice behind the hits "Semi-Charmed Life,""Graduate," "How's It Going To Be," and "Losing A Whole Year," and he's the face you wanna smother with smooches. Where does this superstud get the inspiration for his way personal songs? "These songs are written from a very real place," he says. "I think we all feel violated when we find that a relationship actually has time limits, that it's not unconditional." Whoa, heavy. But what do you expect from a guy who says he likes to read Russian novels? That's not to say that Stephan doesn't like to have fun, too. "I enjoy touring very much," he says. "You can meet people and have a meaningful conversation, but four hours later, you're on the bus watching South Park reruns and eating Oreos with the band." You still have a chance to see Stephan and the rest of Third Eye Blind in concert. Go to www.elektra.com for tour info. Warning: Don't stop for a latter on your way for tickets - a show they had in Houston sold out in 12 minutes!
