Speaking of which, when Mercedes Benz got the rights to that song, it really took rock-n-roll commercial hell to a whole new level. It's bad enough to have formerly radical rock songs used in totally different settings to advertise commercial crap, but when the actual objects of satire and comment of the songs use the songs in a positive way in an advertisement, irony is truly dead.
Can we see Crosby Stills and Nash "Ohio" in the next National Guard recruitment campaign?
