The soundtrack proved to be fairly successful, peaking at #32 on the Billboard 200 and #10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It was certified gold by the RIAA on April 27, 1999 for sales of over 500,000 copies.
Foolish is Superchunk's fourth studio album. It was recorded November 30 through December 2, 1993, at Pachyderm Studios, by Brian Paulson. It was released by Merge Records in 1994.
The cover art is credited to the band's bassist, Laura Ballance.
This is the second consecutive Superchunk album where the band recorded a song of the same name, but didn't put it on the album. The US vinyl edition of the album included "Foolish" on a bonus 7" single. The song eventually appeared on the band's Incidental Music compilation.
The video for "Driveway to Driveway" is a takeoff on the classic film The Philadelphia Story. In the video, drummer Jon Wurster plays a rich buffoon and singer Mac McCaughan plays a scrappy lower-class guy both competing for the affections of Ballance's character. Guitarist Jim Wilbur plays a butler. The four members also portray musicians.
The term felony, in some common law countries, means a serious crime. The word originates from English common law (from the French medieval word " félonie "), where felonies were originally crimes that involved confiscation of a convicted person's land and goods. Other crimes were called misdemeanors. Many common law countries have now abolished the felony/misdemeanor distinction and replaced it with other distinctions, such as between indictable offences and summary offences. A felony is generally considered a crime of high seriousness, while a misdemeanor is not.
A person convicted in a court of law of a felony crime is known as a felon or convict. In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor. Note that the actual prison sentence handed out has no effect on this; the decision is based on the maximum sentence possible under law. For example, if a person is sentenced to six months, but the charge can be "up to two years", it counts as a felony, in spite of the actual time served being well under a year. The individual states may differ in this definition, using other categories as seriousness or context.

Plot
Family man Wade Porter (Stephen Dorff) is living the American Dream with his girlfriend Laura (Marisol Nichols) and their son Michael: they have a nice house, Wade has just raised a loan to make his company grow and they are going to get married. However, their dream becomes a nightmare when Wade unintentionally kills a burglar on his lawn that had broken into their house in the middle of the night.
By attacking the fleeing unarmed intruder outside of the house, he is arrested for murder, and during the first night in the county jail, Wade gets into a brawl after being attacked by an inmate in the community cell.
With $1,000,000 bail he can't raise, after 90 days, the public defender is able to negotiate a deal for Wade to serve three years for involuntary manslaughter, or he could spend more time awaiting trial. Sentenced to Corcoran State Prison, during the bus ride over, Danny Sampson (Chris Browning), leader of the local Aryan Brotherhood, stabs a man and hides the knife with a young Aryan member named Snowman (Johnny Lewis) sitting behind Wade. In a moment's panic, Snowman hides the knife under Wade's seat and forces him to deny knowledge of it. As a result, Wade is sent to solitary confinement until the mess can be sorted out. Upon further investigation by Lieutenant Jackson (Harold Perrineau), Jackson is convinced Wade is an accessory to murder because he denies knowledge of the knife, and decides to send Wade to the Security Housing Unit (SHU), of which Jackson is the commanding officer.
I guess I was foolish to understand That fact that Im leaving my life and starting all over again, One day sittin back looking at old memories, Thinkin bout those little things that you told me, But what if I wasn't jokin, They're all lookin at those who are provokin, Little things that worry me are about to end Just like you and me being friends If I knew that this was gonna happen, Then I would of just said, [chorus] The words 'foolish' and 'Leave me alone' Dont go together that's what you said to me on the phone But I dont think so,those are what I am. Sweet dreams little one is what he said, You're only foolish,that didn't go to my head As little as you are you want left alone confusing as a dog that hates bones Most girls love attention but I don't. Think of me as a distraction Stoppping your work stopping your attraction Little as I know. I'm a girl who likes who no one would ever of dream of me thinking, Little as I dont know. Whatever caused me to stop the moment The moment when I wished say I love you. But my dreams go away [chorus] The words 'foolish' and 'Leave me alone' Dont go together that's what you said to me on the phone But I dont think so,those are what I am. Sweet dreams little one is what he said, You're only foolish,that didn't go to my head As little as you are you want left alone confusing as a dog that hates bones Most girls love attention but I don't. Were newly weds 13 years lata I'm dressed in a gown laying down, My dream didn't fade.

County probation departments were now expected to manage and control thousands of hardened felons released from state prisons. Probation officers were burdened with enormous caseloads which has resulted in poor oversight of these same felons.
