Making Up For Lost Time

July 10, 2007 by Dave!

I normally don’t see ads on television (thank you, Tivo!) but this week, I did because my wife recorded one on purpose.

It was Elvis Costello shilling for Lexis.

Tonight, my wife comes up to my desk and drops a magazine ad in front of my face. There, in a two page spread…
Elvis Costello shilling for Visa.

For someone who went on Saturday Night Live and broke into Radio Radio, and who has always refused to license his songs for commercials, I guess he’s making up for lost time.

It was a fine idea at the time…

    What a complete tool. I guess you can’t stay cool forever. Look at Bob Dylan, he’s doing victoria’s secret commercials now.
    I guess I better listen to the voice of reason!
