Mick's got it made, BTW.  I identified one of his new songs amidst the  
Muzak at the Penney's department store last night.  :)

That one seems to be the big winner from CFNYC.  I've been hearing it a lot 
here, too.  Cusak's intro and the drama must have really caught everybody's 
imagination.

To hear new songs, or new recordings of old songs on the radio.  That will 
be a tough one.  Classic rock won't play anything new, and for sure The Who 
aren't going to fit most radio formats.  They'll need some creative 
marketing to get it played.  Um, I did mention how Sting and Moby got theirs 
played, didn't I?  Didn't Santana go out personally to hawk his 
"Supernatural?"
