I would see that as more of an ATTACK on his wall than support. I mean, the Wall wasn't a good thing in that album!

go to a room full of people I strive to avoid... the kind I would cross the street to avoid, all packed together in a self-fulfilling-prophecy style mob.

Another one of my musical touchstones from my childhood co-opted. Usually I only have to deal with a tune that resonates with me showing up in a commercial. Now the fascists are appropriating the music I love.

James Brown singing
"Whoa, I feel good, I knew that I would now
I feel good, I knew that I would now
So good, so good,"

Here is one that really galled me.



I also fell on the floor in a fetal position the first time I saw Rush's 'Fly By Night' in a VW commercial. Not because the content was objectionable, just because Rush is my first love and I never thought they'd pull a move like that.

I paid good money to have the bathroom remodeled a couple months ago, too.

Dammit.
