Template talk:Aimee Mann

Jules Shear for "Related Articles" section of Template

I would like to add Jules Shear to the "Related Articles" section of the Aimee Mann template. Not only did Ms. Mann have a romance with Mr. Shear . . . and not only did Ms. Mann write and release a song EXPLICITLY ABOUT him, called "J For Jules" . . . Mr. Shear also co-wrote a number of songs for Ms. Mann and her band -- including the title track of Everything's Different Now (which makes one wonder if Mr. Shear inadvertently named that last 'Til Tuesday album), and its only single, "(Believed You Were) Lucky" (which performed respectably on the charts). Shear also co-wrote a song called "Could've Been Anyone" on Ms. Mann's first solo album, Whatever.

Now that I've written this all down, I've actually convinced myself. I think changing a template is a very big deal, not to be taken lightly, best be done by consensus . . . but I've got a pretty good feeling that nobody will really object if I add Mr. Shear to the "Related Articles" section. If there is a later consensus that agrees his name should be removed from the template section, well, it'll be removed. I won't put up much of a fight. I mean, I may offer up an argument, but by no means am I interested in an edit war.

I sincerely hope this addition to the template will be generally regarded as appropriate and helpful.
