They may "whored out" their song but it worked, didn't it? I agree its a little sad when talented artists have to resort to this kind of negotiation to get themselves heard, but unfortunately, in today's world, it sometimes the only option if a band wants commerical success. I don't think Stevie would ever entertain such a notion but if Stevie had a #1 record due to a song that was used in TV advertising, I think I'd be quite pleased. I think it's sadder to have made a brilliant album that gets ignored.
