Oh, goody!  Now that The Beatles are disposed of, let me repost this. I 
really was hoping for some discussion about the "alleged" new album.  :)

Last week there was an interesting bit of discussion on another list about 
publicity vs. strategy.  There is a definite difference between these two 
things as a means of promoting a product.  For example, publicity would be 
advertising, getting mention of the material on the radio, in magazines or 
on TV, interviews on the order of "we're releasing blah, blah, please buy 
it."  An example of strategy, on the other hand, would be in how the 
material is packaged, how it's released, subject matter, etc.

That brings me back to The Who's upcoming new album.  :) Bjorn has already 
mentioned that it should have a "parental advisory" sticker on it, 
regardless of anything else.  Now I'm thinking it should be right on the 
edge of annoying as far as lyrical content goes.  The guy with the book on 
"colostomy rock" went a little past good taste, but that's the general idea.

So, a new Who album ought to be calculated to be slightly annoying to as 
many age and ethinic groups as possible.  All very ironically, of course.  
;)
