I saw an interview on 60 minutes last night where the interviewer asked Roy Bittan and Steve Van Zandt of the E street band if they cringe every time they have to play "Born to Run"

"It's funny you said that because I was watching something on TV. And it was Tony Bennett. And they asked Tony Bennett, 'Aren't you tired of singing I Left My Heart In San Francisco?' And his answer was, 'It gave me the keys to the world,'" Bittan says. "Well there it is, that's it."

"I figure if we do a few more tours I might actually learn it," van Zandt says, laughing. "So, you know. I mean, we live in hope, right?"

So I think if the artists see their own music as a stepping stone or key or dinner or putting the kids through school, then I'm happy to see their music in commercials.


Now the what is art discussion reminds me a bit of the one we had regarding turntablists as musicians. It's still hard for me to swallow but I suppose they are, they arrange, compose, play the turntable as an instrument, express emotion, move people, create new sounds and entertain.

So what is art? It all is. Maybe not to you, maybe not to me, but IMHO that is irrelevant. Everything has the potential to be art. As someone on another board has in their signature, slightly paraphrased, "You can polish crap if you freeze it first." Moose droppings to you and me, a beautiful necklace/piece of art to someone else.

Print media, Music, Performance Art, whatever.
I used to be a lot snobbier but age has brought on a bit more patience and open mindedness.(i know it's usually the opposite)

This is the mistake i think a lot of people make when judging opinion about art by knee jerk reaction.
There is a lot of value to the "you either like it or you don't" category , and most probably fall into that group, But I feel that you miss out on some really good stuff.

back to the point of the topic,
imo, anything that exposes more people to "ART" is a good thing in the long run. It's about getting your work out there.
the showcase that facilitates more exposure is only the "stage du jour" and the term "sellout" has more to say about the source of the utterance then the Art itself.
Art itself cannot be "cheapened" merely because of the venue it's viewed in. This is the realm of opinion and does not affect the art itself.
If it "pisses you off" that Music you held dear is being presented in a light or method that offends your sensibilities, i would suggest you try not to observe it. (change the channel, or look the other way.)
The artists should not sell their wares or enter into contracts if they don't want their creations used to turn a profit.

This is the era we live in now and the music of my youth is finally being used to advertise the products of the day.

I dont know, and I dont really care. Art isnt better or worse then anything else, like blue isn't better or worse then yellow. I'm pretty sure the first two criteria don't apply to my music. I think my last little project is a good example of what might apply for the third criteria even though absolutely noone got it. But I think that if there were someone who could speak Dutch, Romanian, Russian and Arabian, while having some basic knowledge of both 20th century European history and current world politics that person might appreciate the message behind it more then were it just stated literally.
Will you tell us the secret code word to get into the club? This is precisely the problem I was referring to in my first post. :roll:]]> Opinions and Polls Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/car-commercial-with-srv-tune-anyone-angry/paged/4/#post-267132
