WOW at that 'but the man can't bust our music' ad
as soon as I get out of this jail, I'm going to go back home and finish listening to my Terry Riley, Walter Carlos, Varese & Stockhausen albums and I think I'll also pick up those two new recordings of music by Charles Ives
(that is still the best recording of the Concord Sonata btw and it is still out of print)

Wish I could find the audio for that old radio spot for the third Velvet Underground album read by WNEW-FM DJ Rosko, the text of which fits the aesthetic of this thread.

I've got that file--one for White Light/White Heat, too. I'll see if I can upload them to my site.

Wow..."The Velvet Underground...this is you." So Christine O'Donnell's biting from them as well as Antoine Dodson!

If you put it all down on paper according to a form of meter and line, you're called a poet.
And if you're a poet who sets it all to music, then your name is Leonard Cohen.
"Yet if your name is Mort Cohen, they don't call you a poet.You're just an ad copy man to them. Sure, you bring home a nice check,have a few whiskey sours on the company account after work,fly to Los Angeles for client meetings every now and then,but does anyone recognize your talent?They don't care that you got the Midol accountThe West Village girls aren't interested in how many Band-Aids your last campaign sold.And they don't care that you wrote this adfor a bunch of songsby some jerkoff named Leonard."

That Velvets "3rd" one is blowing my mind. "That's because you don't have the new Velvet Underground"

Ah, that's off that 'promo' single.
I didn't know about the one for the 2nd album.

That first one for "Black and Blue" gets talked about for a very long time in Pop Music and Morality, the pretty hilarious Mormon-penned book about why most rock is bad. The author made it out to be like the Hustler cover with the hamburger grinder of the music world.

thought about this thread today, the ads on the tube for the new black keys album are very much in this vein

This one's a bit eyebrow-raising (not to mention factually inaccurate) but at least it's grabby.

That's funny. Whenever I listen to John Denver, I feel like I'm on leave from the revolution as well.

So, inspired by this thread and the Billboarding site, I wrote a story about late 60s and 70s advertising in The Word (not online) and spoke to Stan Cornyn (in-house at Warners - did Neil Young, Joni, Randy, Van Dyke, etc) and Marty Pekar (freelance for Columbia - Dylan, Costello, Nick Lowe). I asked Pekar if he had anything to do with the infamous The Man Can't Bust Our Music campaign and he said this:
There was this guy named Jim Fouratt [who later co-founded the Gay Liberation Front) purported to be an expert on hippies. He would smoke marijuana in his office, he was the expert. And he came up with his knuckleheaded campaign and people said, Well Jim Fouratt he knows kids, let’s go with this. I had nothing to do with that. Nothing! It was horrible. I think the stuff he did got ridiculed and they fired him but for six months he was God up there because the executives thought wow, here’s someone really tuned in to today. They didn’t have a clue, the executives, what was going on.
So there you go.
And Stan Cornyn confirmed that Van Dyke was indeed upset by the ad but got over it.
