World of Weird Al Yankovic

Wow, you guys would complain about anything.
As much as I love Al, I think it's a bit obsessive EXPECTING a banner.

This coming from someone who listened to the song, what, a thousand times?

I also noticed that Al's song wasn't mentioned in the weekly music podcast for iTunes.

We're obsessive? Look who's talking, Stephen. This was an itunes exclusive, man. There should have been a banner, or at least more attention drawn to this than there was. itunes dropped the ball.

Maybe they had something planned for day one, but since it got screwed up they had to move on and couldnt reschedule.

And Patti, I still think that we're lucky we got a song at all. *shrug*

Yes, it was very cool of Al to do this, but you sound like an itunes rep, defending a company that made a mistake, and didn't even apologize, or explain about the glitch. Maybe you do like itunes, and that's great, but Al deserved a little more publicity.

And you sound like Al's manager.
I think we're even.

Until Al complains, I think people need to lighten up. That's my point.

I don't think I'm sounding like Al's manager at all. Al did all he could to publicize the single. Jay Levey couldn't expect him to do more.

Really? Cause I don't hear Jay Levey complaining...
I think Patti sounds like a concerned fan, wishing the song was hyped up a little more.

I think Al probably learned a few lessons with this release. I doubt he is too upset about the way it was handled, but I wouldn't be surprised if things were a bit different next time around either.
