Lou Reed Honda Scooters Commercial

Selling out is relative to your values I guess. If you endorse a product that you actually like and use I don't see the harm in that, but if Keith Richards did a commercial for that nicotine patch or the "Partnership for a Drug Free America" then I would worry. This is a well done ad regardless.

yes

evry musician that sells his music for a commercial is for now, and all eternity, removed from the artistic world. i don't care if you shit mona lisas on q. you made your f****** choice! bill hicks

selling one's music for commercial purposes or in a commercial manner... isn't that essentialy how musicians feed themselves?

Lou is worse cause he made a hissy fit at the producers of that song for making it too commercial. What a hypocrite

I think it can be OK to feature your song in a commercial if there's some similarity in concept, but this is just way off. What the fuck was he thinking?

I agree much more with tom waits' perspective of selling songs for commercials.

It was an anti-walking ad.

funny lol

1985 and 86 were the years of this ad campaign. Yes I remember it well.
