It is very disconcerting to see Bob Dylan sitting down to have a discussion with an IBM computer! And then have the computer offer to write a song with him. Luckily he walks away from that!! And so continues my world of watching bands sell their songs to corporations.
Some are kind of funny. Europe sells “The Final Countdown” to Geico, and plays in a company lunchroom while fat middle aged ladies nod their heads and tap their feet to the tune. The band makes fun of their rock star image, and the song fits perfectly with the commercial, even though the band looks like they haven’t aged well.
And then there is the band X-Ambassadors. They sold a song to Jeep, and it plays on television about every 15 minutes!! Way more airplay than they could ever get on the radio (even though I hear it quite a lot on the radio these days. So they have a hit, and probably drive around in free Jeeps? Way to use the system.
