Mind you, it's not that I was thrilled that they were hawking Range Rovers or Nike or Miller Beer. (I hate all beer.) It was rather that America was being forced to hear some of the coolest music out there. And maybe they'll look it up. And maybe they'll go buy it. And maybe the bands will tour again soon. And maybe garage bands will start covering Cramps songs again instead of Rancid.

I mean, Esquivel's "Mini Skirt" is out there selling, um, something! Viva Esquivel!!! (That I can't tell you what the product is tells you that the ad sucks, because they obviously left no indellible mark on me, save the cool song! But I hope more people ask "Who does this song?" and they dig it up, becoming exotica fans!)
