Isolation Thought

It used to bother me a lot when I would hear recognizable pop tunes on advertising. While The Who have obviously perfected this, there is a favorite old band with another of their songs used on a commercial. It is Devo, D-E-V-O. "Whip It" for Swiffer, "Beautiful World" for Target, "Freedom of Choice" for Miller, now "Uncontrollable Urge" for Mitsubishi. The music industry has changed so much since the boys were somewhat of a hit and made no money. It's their music and if they can now make a buck or two from it, so what? The industry cranks up the PR on a band, then they disappear quickly. I mean what about that group that sang "Closing Time"? Are they still around?
