I like American Music
I expressed amazement that Wendy’s was using a Violent Femmes tune to peddle food. Well, Brian Ritchie (who I viewed as God-like just under 20 years ago) isn’t happy either. He left a comment about it at a Tennessee blogger’s joint. Gordon Gano sold out. Well, can’t blame the guy for wanting a buck or two.

I think all this means is that we’re getting old folks. Just like my father generation music was commercialized so will ours.

In that original thread, Xrlqy-Wrlqy made a remark about AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.” Back in 2000, I worked a brief stint for Compaq computers, and someone pointed out to me that the marketing material on their web site said “No stop signs, no speed limits.” We about died laughing, and wondered if they realized where it was from.
