Recently everyone from Iggy to Lydon is doing adverts on the tele, Whats your opinion on that? do you think they have sold their soul to the devil? And if you were offered to do an advert Roddy would you do it?
Not suggesting you are an old Rocker though mate.
(Not sure if any Specials tunes have been used for adverts.)

I don't think Iggy or Keef have ever made a stance on anything, have they?

Tricky stuff.. i havent been approached for any of my songs..but Jerry told Horace he got an obscene amount of money from "Blank Expression" which Ford cars used to promote one of its new models a few years back.. I think if the product was something i liked or used myself maybe i would then again maybe i wouldnt?

Nothing wrong with getting paid for doing your job. Artists sell their paintings.

That's right Roddy. Its best to sell your work with dignity through gigs and CDs. But they've currently got us by the balls. None of us are truly free to live our one and only life how we would really want. Doesn't mean we should feel powerless. The rich & powerful are in a minority* - we are the majority!
(*the rest are socialists with their own political oppressive agenda!)

To be a celebrity you've gotta eat the past nowadays But who wants to be in a Hovis advert anyway? (The Fall - Just Step Sideways)

Thanks v. much! Just reading that Mark E. Smith autobiography at the moment +CDs. Always been one of those songs I can never get out of my head once listened to. I'm actually a silly bugger really - trying to be clever or something as usual as my family would testify! Maybe I should stick to Punk?
