Are you referring to the laws that have been on the books for years and years? Laws that were written by people that represent you and me.....if you're American. Why not we just get rid of all laws?
Two overstatements in the opposite direction do not equal dialog or reason.
Entertainment, perhaps...
I can think of one Amendment to the United States Constitution that you should throw out.

If you like them, check out Parov Stelar. Bought this album (Mocean Worker) after someone suggested that Parov Stelar and Mocean Worker share the same spirit....

I was just driving and listening to this a couple days ago. Such a cool song. I really dig the vibe. The muted horns really add to the quality. Add the bass...!
Love then, love this song!

Actually, there was quite a bit of debate about commercial use of music in the comments for Feist's 1-2-3-4.
But I think anyone who bitches about musicians "selling out" when their work is used in an ad doesn't understand the first thing about how hard it is to make ends meet as an artist. Personally, I don't care if the song is about the virtues of Veganism and they're using it in a McDonald's commercial. Some folks may have the luxury to pick and choose their jobs, but most of us still have to pay our bills, buy groceries, pay for our own health care, etc. I know our studio is more concerned about a client's check clearing than about their politics.
Absolutely.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I don't hear these objections when the Caesars' "Jerk It Out" or Feist's "1-2-3-4" adorned iPod commercials. Arguably, it was the commercial exposure that made the Caesars' Paper Tigers a huge hit.

And how many of us would know "At Last" by Etta James if Jaguar hadn't used it in their commercial some years back? I sure wouldn't have, and I would have been so much the poorer for it. We don't need to be limited by labels or source—appreciate it for what IT is.
Here, here...or "hear, hear." If hearing a song used commercially motivates a consumer to (1) find out what the recording is and by whom and (2) go buy the MP3 or CD, then I think the artist has achieved his objective. From my POV, Lincoln advertised "Right Now" as much as "Right Now" advertised Lincoln. And "Right Now" will be a living, breathing work of art long after whatever Lincoln it was shilling is languishing in some rust heap. BTW, one would think that a piece of music that would so motivate a consumer to go to all that work would have to be pretty good, yes?

Sorry, I have to disagree with you there, for two reasons. (1) There are a lot of very cool tracks appearing in ads. Why should Bill limit his playlist, and our enjoyment, simply because some advertising art director also has good taste in music? (2) If you are so bothered by this, perhaps you're listening to or watching too much commerical media. I for one had never heard this track anywhere but RP. Perhaps getting a TiVo and skipping through commercials, would help you as it has me.

I have to echo many of the comments below. So many great songs — this, "Ghostwriter" by RJD2, "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service, etc. — have been used extensively in commercials now. But that absolutely does not mean that Bill should refrain from playing them.
Many ad directors have good taste in music as well, which is an undeniable fact. To me, in some ways the loss of some of these songs in the RP playlist would mark a subtle indirect surrender to commercials. The commercials are out there, sure — but we should all try to insulate ourselves from them as much as possible (via DVR, muting commercials, or destroying our TV's) so that the good music can flow unfiltered.

Clicked on over to Amazon and bought this when I first heard it Radio Paradise some years ago. Put it on my Ipod. Still a great tune, haven't seen the car ad, but I don't live where it would be shown.

If the commercial made the band some money then cool. Thats what its all about. Would you rather have commercials playing some stupid crap that sounds like background music from a porn flick out of Chatsworth. Never the less I still enjoy the tune.

As John Prine suggested: "Blow Up Your TV". Turn on the radio. When was the last time you heard a commercial on RP?

For some it may bring back memories of the commercial or the product being touted, but I don't even remember the specific product—I think it was a car, but which one, I have no idea.
