Just saw the 2nd VW Commercial


Recommended Posts

Not yet, but keeping an eye out for it...what's the premise of that one?!?

 

i caught the very end of it, a guy driving around in a red vw bug (i think), parks it and goes away, then a girl walks up and gets in. now that i try to recap it, i guess i really was half-paying attention since tech support came on the phone right when the music came on bah. maybe they have it up on the vw site now.

but, it seems so is wilco and nearly everyone else as well being they can't actually make any money selling records. perhaps we should devise a gulag type system where recording artists are housed and made to create that which we can download for free. It actually boggles my mind that you care how these people make money.

What bothers me is how quickly bands are willing to jump into bed with major corporations, the same corporations responsible for much of the mess we currently find ourselves in, insofar as the environment and politics are concerned.

 

Wilco is a wildly successful band by most measurable standards.

:lol

Are you Wilco's accountant per chance?

 

Tweedy is 40. He has worked as a musician for a quarter century. His wife is my age. Last year they took their first family vacation to a place that wasn't Minnesota.

 

You speak with such amazing arrogance, it makes me laugh.

I think that it's awesome that it bothers you. just don't expect anyone to care. I think when one hits 40 and realizes it's going to take a few 100k to put their kids through college and they don't have a pot to piss in a few minor commercial endeavours start to look pretty good. That you think music should be some sort of idealistic statement of self reliance and anti consumerism is your own baggage. it has no relation to the way the music industry is or ever was. historically youthful artistic idealism have always morphed into some more pragmatic and money generating form.

 

you mention the evil corporations....it this somehow different than the consumers who have a choice in not purchasing what the major corporations produce? such as the evil corporation who produced the computer you're on as well as the entire infrastructure that allows us to communicate in this fashion?

 

do you mean the political problems that if enough people cared about could be changed?

 

best of luck with all that. with all that self righteous peeing in the wind you must change your pants a lot.

Be careful agreeing with me - that won't help you out here too much.
