Actually I REALLY cringed when I heard Clash songs in two different commercials (beer and cars - two great things that go great together!) So much for punk/DIY. Oh, and Led Zep in a Cadillac commercial - yeesh! And in no way did I mean to disparage the great Morrisey. I loved the winking, dark humor of the Smiths. I saw Morrisey perform after they broke up and have to say it was one of the most entertaining shows ever. His swinging rock-a-billy set in the middle of the show was amazing. I don't think a lot of people "got" his sort of cheeky humor. You just haven't earned it yet, baby.
