I thought he didn't want to be no pop singer

Not to hijack the thread but it isn't the Republicans who are asking condescending questions like "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

And Fenian is this close to saying that John Cougar is no Neil Young (here comes the 60's soapbox about real artists). For my money - I still like Bob Seger better than Young or Melloncamp.

 

Screw Jon Stewart. It's a bad joke, much like the shopworn toothless and fucking-your-seester jokes about the South.

I've noticed a general resentment of flyover midwestern states, and that's because there's a perception it's been hijacked and subverted by the religious right. But if you think that people think Illinois and Indiana are scorned upon, you haven't traveled much. Chicago, those hayseeds! Yeah, right.

 

I think that was on "Born to Jog."

 

Darkness on the Edge of the Village?

 

Look at it this way... Seger was against Chevy using Like A Rock in their commercials. Then he talked to his friends who worked for the Big Three and all of them said something to the effect of "look, man, you don't know how much this will help us". So he did.

JCM isn't the first singer of either side to take advantage of a chance to make a little extra from an endorsement, and he won't be the last.

 

I don't have a problem with JCM selling out. Selling out is a fine tradition among artists.

I do have a problem with using images of Katrina and 9/11 in a spot to sell trucks. Thank God those people died so Chevy could sell a few more Silverados.

 

The commercial was originally written for the Canyonero

 

Greetings From Downtown Piscataway?

 

The Wild, the Innocent and the Lansdown Street Shuffle?

 

Iowa?

 

The Ghost of Tom Jones?

 

It's not just a truck - it's a gas-guzzler.

It's like they're saying, "Remember when guys crashed planes into our buildings?"

As a consumer, I think: Yes I do. Our reliance on oil had something to do with that.

Remember when gas prices went through the roof because Katrina damaged major pipelines? Our reliance on oil had something to do with that.

Can the higher-ups at Chevy be this dim? I get scared for American business when I see things like this ad. "This is our country" takes on a whole new meaning.
