That's not your cynic part...
The cynic part of
me rolls my eyes at the timing and cost of the expensive fan club,
corporate promotion of the Chicago concert (almost obtrusive on the
Westwood One broadcast), the AOL commercial, the DVD and corresponding tv
special, the Victoria's Secret thing, the book release, and the "market
crossover potential" that'll be pushed for with the new single. The
album's not doing as well as expected, so I'm guessing that there'll be
more sponsorship before the tour is through.
