the immersion into the moment created, whether two minutes of Ramones, an
hour symphony or joining the Dead into a live excursion of the unknown, timing
issues, sour notes and all.

The magic of recorded music, to escape into it the first or 1,000th time and be
able to float in it, be in the moment and leave certain realities behind.

Great tunes cashed in on in car commercials are still great tunes, close your eyes
to the (likely) stupid images of promotion of a car brand you won't remember and
welcome back in a great tune (or riff) that you will never forget.

They may be trying to brand a product with a famous tune, but does that really work?
Not here. The Who STILL have shit to do with four wheel drive. Beep beep.

As mentioned above it is the music business.

The Remaining Dead have cashed in on most every aspect of their fabled history,
NOTHING they do with their legacy seems to be separate from drivin' that commerce
Train and that's just the way of the world, as EW&F said.
