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.

They already used "Rise Above" for a skate game commercial I saw a few  years 
back. So who knows? - Lonely Boy
