Cleaning out the old links, I ran into this page with radio spots and jingles for all sorts of things, some with celebrities, and a few with musicians. I gravitated toward the beer spots, nostalgic for the days when beer was beer, not some eight dollar a bottle scam. I don't drink beer anymore, so who am I to whine? Because it's the whole concept, fancy anything is a scam.
After listening to a few of the old school beer spots, I went against my better judgement and revisited some by rock bands. The Troggs for Miller, not all that surprising. But Cream? For Falstaff? The Ramones for Miller Steel Reserve? X, for Budweiser? Yeesh! I needed a chaser. Neil Young's "This Note's for You" did the trick.
