Sure, we can all speculate, but has anybody ever heard from the band or management why the heck they played "Holy Joe" at that KMart press conference?

The reason why they played holy joe was because Discotheque wasn't doing that well at the time and the single needed a shot in the arm to keep it in the charts.
I guess they figured that by playing holy joe, which was discotheque's bside, the single would get further attention and sales would increase (this didn't happen).
They also wanted to buy time until the second single was released from Pop (which didn't happen for a full 21/2 months after the Kmart press conference).
I believe that one of the major reasons why Pop fizzled after 3 weeks is due to Discotheque being released so far ahead of the album. It was leak to radio in the 3rd week of december 1996. By the time Pop came out at the beginning of March and staring at the sun's release in mid April, everyone had lost interest. They should have approached the album like achtung baby and release 2 singles straight away (one after the other).
Just a thought.
