i grow old

When I was a teenager, I devoted countless hours to watching sitcoms. During a commercial break one night, my dad came into the room and sadly watched a particular commercial that had been played over and over all night. When I asked him whatever was the matter, he explained how absolutely wrong it was that a Hendrix song would ever be in a car commercial. I did not completely understand why this would be the case.

Now the chorus from Blitzkrieg Bop is in an AT&T mLife ad. Not my beloved Ramones! Needless to say, I look very sad when I watch these commercials, because such a thing is absolutely wrong. And besides, those lyrics are a horribly ironic choice for a marketing campaign.
