Default Anoro commercial + Go your own way = Major Cringefactor!

Has anyone seen it? How could they have sold their song to a commercial for COPD medication? SO BAD.

I believe the decision rests with whoever owns the rights to the song, in this case the songwriter......ie Lindsey. Guess 3 kids and a wife are expensive to maintain........

You don't think people with COPD shouldn't get help. heartless and in case you have not noticed Fleetwood Mac are money grubbing harlots otherwise La Nicks would not still be in the band and they would have had the cojones to call their new album Fleetwood Mac.

But how do you really feel about it?


They are all money whores! They'd can her ass in a NY minute if it weren't for the money.

Where on earth did you get from reading my post that I don't think people with COPD should get help? This has to do with a classic Fleetwood Mac songbeing sold to a medical commercial. It's an awful cover of the song that could ruin it's legacy. Yes I realize they are moneygrubbing whores, but even they should have limits! I can't imagine anybody on YouTube will be going to search for the song and leave the comment " I came here because of the COPD commercial, I just love this song"

Default Song Rights

I believe Lindsey sold the controlling rights to his songs a few years ago (although he retained approximately 50% of the proceeds).

Didn't Christine sell her catalog years ago as well? One thing I'll say about Stevie is that she has held tight to her songs. That is why she was able to pimp out Landslide to Budweiser for $750,000 a couple years back.

Now that's funny!

The only other song that might've worked would have been Big Love- with the grunts!

I hardly even recognized it as the song, the snippets were so small. And if Lindsey made some money off of it, good for him!
