I think a lot of people forget just how much the Beatles and the Stones were
marketed. That your brother had their albums is about as surprising as how the
well-marketed acts these days are the ones that sell a lot of units. No matter
how lame you might think an Avril is, she's got the money behind her and that's
a big part of what counts these days.
