SuchFriends: There were commericals with artists' songs before the Cadillac commericals with Led Zeppelin's "Rock 'n' Roll". I remember a Nissan commerical with the Smiths' "How Soon is Now?" and before the Blue Man Group became the spokesmen for Intel, Pentium II (wow, I'm old) commericals with Blur's "Song 2" and the Ohio Players' "Love Rollercoaster". If you want to blame anyone, blame Pete Townsend for letting them use the Who's "Bargain" in a Toyotathon ad (I think).
The nice thing about money is it can be used for pretty much any purpose. Something some of you "art can put food on the table if we try hard enough" types can use to help yourselves feel better is the idea that maybe Jim donated the money he got from this to anti-Walmart groups...
