Sneaky Jack
The White Stripes sell a song to Coke!? That sucks, right? No. Jack doesn't give up any of his existing songs. Instead writes a new one. And in the process gets giant multinational corp to spend millions of dollars so the world hears these lyrics:one thing you'll learn you can bet / is that love is as good as it gets / and you'll get more if you give it / it's the right thing to do / and you know it / it's inside of you / so just show it / love is the truth / it's the right thing to do / in the eyes of a mother and father / in the eyes of a son and a daughter / it's everywhere / you've just got to care / love is the truth / it's the right thing to do
I like when people use The Man to spread words of love and enlightenment. That's rock 'n roll.
You know who else is rock 'n roll? Thomas Jefferson: "A little revolution now and then is a good thing."
