I need to stop watching TV

I need to stop watching TV



because I keep hearing really important music trivialized into commercials:

Look what’s happening out in the streets
Got a revolution got to revolution...


"Volunteers" by Jefferson Airplane is now shilling for a day-trader site. Like Grace Slick said at Woodstock, "it's a new dawn."

I think they also said "up against the wall motherfucker" too.

I'm old but I'm way too young to identify with this 60s stuff as emotionally as I do. This one hits me even more than the Clash - music I poersonally had a stake in when it was new - in a car ad did. But at least that was the apolitical "Should I Stay Or Should I Go."
