“My impression is that Aimee was more obsessed with him than the reverse.”

That's the impression I got too. He's eight years older than her.

My understanding is “Everything's Different Now” has lots of songs about him. Of course there is the famous line “In a country that began with a J for Jules” . . . which you probably know. My impression is that Aimee was more obsessed with him than the reverse. And obviously you were writing about him, not her, so you are forgiven!

Now I'm finding some information about the 'Til Tuesday album “Everything's Different Now.” Is that where all of Mann's songs about Shear are contained?

Oh, and thank you for the compliment! Made my day. Now I need to find a copy of “Standing Still”!

I mentioned their relationship briefly in part two — http://popdose.com/bootleg-city-vin-scelsas-liv... — but I don't know much about it. (I'm 33, for what it's worth.) Weren't some songs on “Whatever” or “I'm With Stupid” written specifically about Shear? He takes the high road in the interview when Vin Scelsa brings her up, so I figured I should do the same.

Do you have any links you can point me to that talk about their relationship?

First of all — you are hilarious and very smart. So I am guessing your non-inclusion of Aimee Mann's long torturous relationship with Jules Schear was due to it being boringly, blatantly talked about ad nauseum in his past. That, or maybe you are too young or too hungover to remember.
