    I heard Brother a lot in Rochester when it was first released.

    To tell the truth though, I don't think it was a great PJ song, it's just that Ed's VOICE sounded great because it was from the Ten era. :?

    I know it sounds mean, but I hope it gets very little radio play, and the album doesn't do as well as PJ wants. Then maybe they'll see that this pop stuff wont get them more fans or money and they should go back to making more of the good stuff. :D

    according to allacess.com "The fixer" is taking off. Currently it has jumped up to #12( lw 48) on the alternative charts. On the Rock charts it is sitting at #18 (lw 51).
    I doubt it will have the lasting power or move any more up the charts. However, the fact that Nickleback is getting 500 more spins/week than PJ doesn't really say much.

    In Denver I heard Brother quite a bit a few months ago. I have yet to hear The Fixer on any station and I've even requested it on the "indy rock" station's website. :roll:
    If I had known then what I know now...
