[kj] Nervous Breakdown

[Graeme Rowland]

A small Syrian informs me that she has been seeing
adverts on TV for the internet with "Nervous
Breakdown" by Black Flag as the soundtrack. 

It does seem odd to advertise the internet with a song
that goes 'my head really hurts.'It would not surprise
me if miserable hardcore hero Greg Ginn earned more
money on royalties from this advert than from every
Black Flag gig put together. Perhaps he could pay
Grant Hart and Meat Puppets (neither of whom are from
DC) some of the dosh they claim SST owes them! 

There are a lot of Black Flag songs he could shop out
to advertisers for more appropriate products.

spades and hoes

*Sinking - trailer for film about the Titanic
*I'm the One - The Sun newspaper
*I Can See You - opticians
*Gimmme Gimme Gimme - just about anything
*No More - turn off the TV go do something less toxic
instead, like drink a six pack
