| I don't think that day will ever come publicly; it would mean that ML needs Jim. IMO - ML believes the only thing he needs from Jim is the songs; in listening to interviews over the years, I believe the ML promotion machine (the yes men) have told him over and over how great he is, how he doesn't need anybody, that he's done all this on his own and after hearing this over time, one tends to believe the BS. Jim, Todd, J. Iovine,and the rest of the band are barely mentioned in recent interviews; pretty soon they'll be non-exsistant. Unfortunatley, ML has fallen into the trap many other artists have and now put out anything just to get a CD out regardless of the quality of the product; it's all about $$$$. There's one thing in making $$$$$$ but at least attemt to have some pride in your work. I'm in the car most of the day and listen to a lot of music. I find it difficult to listen to this CD completely through in one sitting; it just doesn't flow....the images are just not there and don't do it for me. Just IMO. > So it’s been about a year since the album I don’t care to > name was released.
