OK, I sat by when Toyota used The Damned's "What Do I Get".
I remained silent when AT&T used The Ramones' "Blitkrieg Bop".
I even let Jag get by with using The Clash's "London Calling". (They were selling Jags. Why an apocalyptic song about London after a nuclear war is appropriate to sell Jags, I'll never know.)
But now Nissan is using The Clash's cover of the Toots Hibbert classic "Pressure Drop" to sell the new Rogue CUV.
All the cool songs of my youth are being co-opted as marketing jingles.
If they start using The Replacements, somebody's getting hurt.
