JAKOB WON BEST MALE PERFORMER for VH1's First Annual Viewer's Choice Awards!!!

A movie was made based on the book, "Lolita." Now we all know it's Jakob's favorite book!!

Jakob's brother Jesse has signed on with Jim Henson productions to make Neverwhere, based on the fantasy novel by Sandman comics by author Neil Gaiman. Jesse is set to direct. No word on it coming out, and it's just gossip (meaning it's a rumor), but I'll keep ya guys posted. Pretty cool, huh? ~ Leigh

Open House Party was on Saturday, June 13, 1998 and the guys were supposed to perform and give an interview. Well, that didn't happen because they got caught in traffic to get to the radio station and was unfortunately canceled. The DJ said however that someone spotted Jakob and said that he was wearing a black hood, kind of like the one Bono (from U2) wears ~ Leigh

BRINGING DOWN THE HORSE HAS GONE TO 5 PLATINUM AS OF JUNE 3, 1998!!!! ~ Vanessa

On Tuesday, June 16, 1998, I watched a special called, "Top Ten Soundtracks" on Latin American MTV. Guess what number our guys were? They stood proud at #4!! This countdown I guess was based on all of last years and this year's best soundtracks. Guess who was at #1? I think the movie involved a boat ~ Vanessa

Both Bob and Jakob Dylan are on the front and back covers of the many featured artists from 1967-1997 on the Rolling Stone hard bound book. The book costs $40 ~ Vanessa

The guys participated in the 6th Annual Weenie Roast on June 20 and 21, 1998. It was set up at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater and by brought to them by 106.7 KROQ. The tickets sold out in 9 minutes! Among The Wallflowers that played are such bands as Austin band Fastball, Everclear, Blink 182, Save Ferris, and many more.

Mario mentions that he would like to play with Shaq!

Jake says that mom would have to be the one that inspired them all.

Thanks to Mju83 who emailed me Vanessa - that "One Headlight" made the #23 spot of MTV's Top 25 countdown over the most influencial bands of the '90s!! Isn't that so awesome? Once again, thanks to Mju83 for the info!!

Yes the day came and now Jakob is the proud father of another baby boy! Paige gave birth to James Dylan toward the last weeks of April '98. Congrats to both of them! ~ Vanessa

Mario did an interview in May '98 for Gibson where he confirms the fact that they haven't started recording the album but says they are going to start probably in July or August. To read the article, which by the way is very good, and to drool over really awesome pics of Mario, like me Vanessa - go to Mario's Gibson Interview for the details!

Michael Ward was married in March 1998!! You can check out his wedding ring in the "Hereos" video!!

"Heroes" premiered April 27, 1998 on MTV Live! There was a small interview with Jakob and Carson Daly over the phone. Jakob said that Paige was expected to birth any day at that time. Anyway, they showed the video and it was extremely awesome! The change of style of doing the videos was very good. The song just kicks ass!! There are tons of Mario shots for the Mario fans like me!! Yeah!! I've heard that Jakob didn't look good with his hair cut but after seeing the video, I don't think so!! Everybody looked so good!! ~ Vanessa

You know Bob Dylan was featured in the song "Gone 'Til November" by Wyclef. Well, now Jakob is featured in the song "Ghetto Superstar" by Pras!! It's been on Total Request and MTV Jam Countdown. He's only on for like 4 seconds!! He looks hip with the crowd!! Be sure to catch it if you can!!

Greg plays bass on Maypole's album "Product." You know Tobi Miller from the original Wallflowers? He's a guitarist in the band. He is still very much friends with Jakob. Well I just thought I'd let you know!! ~ Leigh

Jakob unfortunately doesn't come out as one of "People's 50 Most Beautiful People." Heck! They don't know what they're missing!!

Mario plays on Chris Issac's album.

There was a picture of the whole band and of Jakob in the April '98 issue of Harper's Bazaar. It's the one with Fiona Apple on it. The pics are awesome!! It doesn't say much about the band as a whole but on the picture of Jakob but it does give info on his personal likes. If you 're a Wallflower picture collector, these are pictures you definitely want to have!! Go to page 10 of our pictures to see the pics!! ~ Vanessa

In the MARCH issue of US magazine, there was a quote from Jakob in the back called "Loose Talk" and he says, "To called yummy is a fantastic honor, and I appreciate it being given to me. I'm going to do everything I can to continue to face up to that and not let anyone down in the future." Honey!! You'll never let us down!! ~ Leigh

As many of you already know the "One Headlight" video was #1 on VH1'a Top 50 videos of 1997, #5 on MTV's Top 100 of '97, "The Difference", #36 on MTV's Top 100. But here's news you guys probably haven't read!! "One Headlight" was #1 on the Latin American MTV's Top 100!! That 's awesome!! ~ Vanessa

There were rumors flying around that the Wallflowers are going to make a GOT MILK? ad. Who knows, we might see them soon in a magazine! ~ Vanessa

Jakob was on the February issue of Guitar Magazine!! It had a pic of him and it includes "One Headlight" as one of their top 10 songs of 1997!!! ~ Vanessa

This is from the Wall of Sound interview with Jakob. About "Three Marlenas". What's the song about? (Jakob's response) "It's not the easiest thing for me to talk about the words. I feel like the songs are the description of the words. That song, I kinda wrote it simply about... I feel like I've got three people inside of me that make choices everyday, and you never know which one is going to make the choices for you." So here you have it people. For those of you who couldn't sleep cause your thinking about what the heck the song is about you can now get some sleep. (I got this off the Wallflowers Tribune.)

Jakob was given the nickname "Captain Midnight" by his fellow friends because he doesn't sleep very well at night due to his chronic back pains.

"Captain Midnight" appears on at least three of the posters that show on "The Difference" video.

You all know that Greg's dad suggested the guys to be called "Cold Fire." Well in "The Difference" video there is a poster that has that on it!

Seen that video of "Three Marlenas"? Well if you noticed Jakob's white shirt's collar is way down in his chest but by end of the video it is up almost to his neck!!

If you look in the "Three Marlenas" video, in the part where Jakob is looking through the window, there is a reflection of Rami right? Well, ever noticed that in that image Rami doesn't move at all and he's supposed to be playing? In other words his image is all stiff. Check it out!

In the video, "One Headlight", when Jakob says, "She said it's cold, it feels like Independence Day and I can't break away from this parade.." He's walking in the alley and right where there's a space where there's light and a man's silhouette goes out the alley. You should see an image (left hand corner) moving out. Wonder who and what that was!!

The car that passes behind Mario in "One Headlight", has both headlights on!!!

If you look in the CD of BDTH, there is a picture of the guys at a restaurant and between all the glasses there is a figure that looks like a baby bottle!! Could it have been for Levi? Maybe!! Who knows!!

It's been said that A.J. Webberman (the guy who stalked Bob Dylan many years ago) is also harassing Jakob. He also stated that Jake is a heroin addict. He's messed up!! Now Jake is sueing Webberman!! Hope he wins!!
