GYOW cover on Anoro asthma commercial
I just saw a commercial for Anoro asthma medication and they play a cheesey cover of "Go your own way," during it. Kinda sad seeing FM let their classic song get covered in a cheesey commercial

Lindsey has made a fortune off Holiday Road. Its been used in several commercials. Even Everywhere was used in a commercial. The ad you refer to is not even new, its been around for awhile. I don't see anything wrong with it. Few could turn down a million dollars so that 5 seconds of their song is used in a commercial. Lindsey has probably made more money off Holiday Road than every solo album and solo tours added together over his entire career. Few have the courage of their convictions like Jim Morrison. In 1969 he turned down $75,000 to allow Light My Fire be used in a commercial. The rest of the Doors protested but Jim wrote the song. In 1969 $75,000 would be over $500,000 today.

I am not a regular television watcher, so I didn't realize the mentioned commercial has been around for a while. I wasn't trying to offend anybody nor was I trying to put any members of the Mac down for doing what they want with their music. I just never have liked it when popular songs are turned into commercials. Yes, I know a hit song is basically a commercial to sell the album. But hearing a classic song, sang by a generic commercial singer, turning it into a "jingle" for television/radio commercials just sounds weird to me. |

I agree with your sensibilities 100%. I was appalled as well when I heard, "GYOW" on that commercial. You described it perfectly. It was cheesy and lame. I always admired Johnny Cash's family when they refused to allow Preparation H to use "Ring of Fire" in a commercial.

Asthma? I've "heard" the commercial many times. I assumed they were trying to poop!

I thought the same thing when I first heard it. Then I thought, well Lindsey is making a ton of money. Or maybe someone in his family is using the medication.

COPD, not asthma.

I LOL every time that commercial plays and the awful male vocal at the end! At least Budweiser used the original version of Landslide.
