I do agree though-I figured with proper promotion it could have brought them back into the limelight for a while. Great radio friendly song-though most would agree not the best track from the CD...but radio singles never really are with any artist. Oh well-that's the music biz.

Sometimes the ignorance of RL bashing is astounding. I don't think some of you realize what you are arguing, you just hear other people say RL sucks so you have to agree. Red Light is not bad at managing artists. They would not have an immense amount of respect, great successful artists, and essentially a fully self-functioning network of almost every aspect of music you could need if they didn't know what they are doing.
DMB has NEVER been big on the radio, even when they were en vogue. Why, then, after 15 years of mediocre radio results, would they want to force enormous amounts of money into the system when the moment for DMB to blow up on the radio is loooong passed. It makes no sense. They don't care about the radio. They don't lose sleep because FTWII or Dreamgirl of Grey Street didn't hit number one. They make their HUGE profits in other areas. Just about ALL other areas, and radio sensations rarely come remotely close to their longevity.
There is obviously a reason RL, RCA and DMB in general don't care too much about mass market advertising and radio promotion. Because it doesn't pay off. You do realize how much it costs these days to market in mainstream mass media, right? Enough that they aren't going to needlessly toss money away, no matter how much they have.
