It's time to put an official tracker on the disaster-in-progress of Simon's last gift to the locals. His release sales came out of the gate slowly, then got even slower, and then threatened to make someone draft Stu Miller in the first round over any of Lee's totals. His radio airplay has been -- has been -- well, I'm sure he's gotten some somewhere. And a few days ago, he performed at halftime for the Bears-Packers game. An Illinois native who supposedly made some kind of good.
Result? Booed.

Not that the Idol hype machine's ever saved anyone. Give 'em the crown, shove 'em out the door, next!
