"That's enough to give my audiences a preview of World War III"

Now he's just on the board of the NRA.

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.
