I just puked


The rockers and heroes of my anti-establishment youth, and the psychedelic days of the 1960's and 1970's have all "sold out" by selling their music copyrights, either directly or indirectly, and classic songs are now being used as commercial beds for all kinds of corporate CRAP, usually cars, trucks, or SUV's. Just heard the Who's "Happy Jack" used as a bed for the Hummer H2. Talk about incongruity!!! Think John and Keith are turning over in their graves?!! Excuse me, gotta run...after writing this post, I feel the urge to vomit again. B.T.W., anyone familiar with the Fools song "Sold Out"? It should be an anthem for the aging rockers of the 21st. century. How much money do these rebels turned whores need anyway?

ljgj has a point--i do enjoy when ads turn people on to music that otherwise they wouldn't know about (donovan is a great example). but when demi-gods like the who, the beatles, etc sell out, i'm puking away too.

i have a love/hate relationship w/ pete townsend. i think he's the greatest rock guitarist who ever lived, and understood rock & roll (musically & attitude) better than anyone, but then he goes selling his songs to big business & surfing the web for naked kids...
