JUDE Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I also read a story in 1990 in Reader's Digest about a Latin teacher at my high school. Does that mean she is world famous? Quick question for you, If say 1% of the US population would happen to catch one of these commercials (approx 3 million), how many do you think give any thought to who provided the music or even have a vague awareness that Wilco even exists?

Good Old Neon Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I believe that you're the one making the initial claim that they are extraordinarily successful, and therefore you need to provide evidence of that first. I don't know that anyone has made any claim that they are "piss poor." I was simply responding to your own admission that it would be fair for you to catch hell for your post. That the band plays concerts in Europe does not mean that they make (net) a load of cash. It simply means that it makes business sense for the label to send them to Europe to play concerts.

Good Old Neon Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 And why is it that you, and not the band, get to choose the barometer for their success? You Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Funny you should ask. When I was watching baseball with my family when we were in North Carolina and the "Thanks I Get" commercial came on, my grandmother shouted "I cannot BELIEVE fucking Wilco sold out!" and stopped making ham salad. Then she went out and uprooted her garden. It really ruined her week. You sir, owe me half a coffee, as the other half just hit my keyboard by way of my nostrils. Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I broke my Wilco-VW ad cherry last night during Family Guy. The ads look good and Wilco sounds good, but they're ads. So. Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Dateline June 26, 2007. Twelve people out of 330,000,000 know that Wilco provided the music for the new VW ad campaign. Link to post Share on other sites
Paula Deen Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! This is what this thread looks like: Det. Thorn: I know, Sol, you've told me a hundred times before. People were better, the world was better... Sol: Ah, people were always lousy. But there was a world, once. Det. Thorn: [chuckles] Sol: I was there, I can prove it! When I was a kid, you could buy meat anywhere! Eggs they had, real butter! Not this... crap! And Now, Wilco on VW Commercials. Lousy, I tell you. Lousy!

a.miller Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I think Jeff says something like this in SBS dvd - about his father's work compared to what he does now.Seriously, all the people on VC that post from their (boring) jobs everyday like I do -- who wouldn't accept a "VW Commercial" of sorts. That would be like some third party asking me if they could read my monthly report on TV for a couple extra months pay. Total no-brainer, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
