Knowing those two, they probably love the irony of a corporation paying money to use RTJ's anti-capitalistic, transgressive songs in an ad, let alone a brand like Cadillac.

But hey, it's "ju$t" money

I'd like to think they are smart enough to not be happy about their transgressive ideas being recuperated.

That's a good point. I'm familiar with the concept, but didn't realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you're right.

It's interesting, though, because one would think that's there's always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
