Cougar's corner

The Onion nails it. If you're annoyed by those Chevy truck ads using the new John Mellencamp song (whatever happened to waiting at least a decade before turning a pop song into a commercial?), check this out:

The high quality and enduring value of the new 2007 Honda Accord has inspired roots-rock veteran John Mellencamp to write a stirring hymn about the working-class nation of Japan.

"Roots rock," by the way is another one of those insipid labels that mean absolutely nothing. It's all rock 'n' roll to me.

The commercials don't really annoy me, but they do make me a tad wistful for the good old days when it was all about the music.
I suppose using his celebrity to sell trucks is a pretty good way to appeal to all of us rednecks he perceived were on the wrong side of the 2004 election.
