subliminal commericalism is a devious trick too.lol its used in todays world so much.... the fact is if you see something enough you get curious...right? don't you agree?
You forgot Wonderful Tonight by Clapton. Which if I hear one more time, I may put my foot through the t.v. His After Midnight beer commercials were equally annoying. Sometimes I think it backfires.
Amen Sister. There's a (kind of) funny story about that Michelob commercial. At the time, they'd paid Clapton (and Sinatra and Phil Collins) a cool $1 Million to do those commercials. When they aired, Clapton was in a Minneapolis rehab and was in a room when the commercial came on TV, and one of the other members said "Isn't that you?" I guess EC didn't know what to say.

Heh, well I guess Clapton's addiction was to heroin so I guess he figured it was okay to pimp out his song to sell beer! Unless he had another problem I didn't know about.

no i actually meant the john lennon peace converse....
You SHOULD have said that that the first time around because I thought you meant the sneakers commercial with Revolution since we were talking about Paul using his songs in commercials!!!!!
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
It's always been about the music but it's always been about the money as well so what Paul is doing isn't a crime.
He'll take the cash, sure, but the reason he's doing it is for the exposure. Proper placement of a song in the context of an ad can bring huge catalogue returns...
