Just as my own two cents, I'd say it was Geffen's fault that I'm With Stupid failed to sell. Unless you were a die hard fan or a genuine music whore, you'd have been hard pressed to know it was out. They put "That's Just What You Are" out on the Melrose Place CD and then didn't release IWS in a timely fashion. It's always struck me as odd that Aimme got such a raw deal with Imago's folding. They tried to charge her twice for "Whatever" and then refused to let her record. With Paula Cole they ended up handing her off to Warner and she got the full promotional push! Thank goodness she finally gets to make her own decisions...and good for Wilco. At least the company did the honorable thing and let them go without much fuss. Long may they run... _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
