Yeah - the thing is that what we might consider "sacred" is, in the end, 
just another chunk of noise to put behind some crappy TV ad for cars or 
whatever. What we consider great memories are just useful 
"instant-coolness" reference points for some smart-arse ad-person. Not 
worth getting upset about, really. Whoever owns it has the right to do 
what they want with it - so I did give a cheer when Tom Waits sued the 
company and won a hell of a lot of money when they used Screaming Jay 
Hawkins singing a cover of one of his songs (forgotten which) for, I 
think, an ad for jeans.
