Start rant...GO!
So I was watching The Daily Show tonight, and a Reebok commercial comes on featuring all these football players in the desert. Nothing unusual, right? I mean football season is coming soon and ads promoting athletic attire are nothing new, right? WRONG! The song being played over the ad is 'Train Song,' by psychedelic folk artist Vashti Bunyan. That's right, delicate, ethereal-voiced Vashti Bunyan agreed to have her music used to sell workout crap. I don't know how to feel about it yet, but frankly, I'm confused and a little bit sad. Complete overreaction, I know, but it was such a jarring moment to hear her music in tandem with over sized athletes running around that it stirred up some feelings deep within the chilly cavern that is my soul. Then I learned that this isn't the first ad she's been featured in. Check this out:
Here's "Train Song" in its entirety.
End rant...NOW!
You're complaining about Vashti Bunyan?
I don't know who that is, but I heard that music is for pussies.
Get a life, bro!
