Been watching a lot of TV these days. GO CUBS. I am noticing a crazy trend. The bands who historically stood for something are selling their songs for commercials in record numbers.

The most egregious is a Day’s Inn spot using the Clash song “Should I Stay or Should I go.” Joe Strummer must be rolling around in his grave every time the image of a salesman adjusting his toupee in his hotel room mirror comes on the screen with the song playing in the background. Sad!!!

The ones that seem to be on the most are the GMC truck ad with the Who’s “Emimance Front” in the background. Also the Designer Shoe Warehouse ad with “Who Are You?” as the background music. Guess the Who needs the money.
