Watch Bruce Springsteen Join The Killers For Three Songs At MSG [Stereogum]
Neil Young Takes A Shot At Beck’s “Old Man” Cover Appearing In An NFL Commercial [Stereogum] Neil Young always famously refused any and all requests to license his music for advertising purposes, and he made a big point about it. Young’s 1988 song “This Note’s For You” is specifically about the whole idea of corporate-sponsored rock music: “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi, ain’t singin’ for Coke/ I don’t sing for nobody/ Makes me look like a joke.” In the ad, we see black-and-white footage of Beck playing “Old Man” on an acoustic guitar, and it’s interspersed with footage of Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes ahead of next week’s Buccaneers/Chiefs Sunday Night Football game. The whole thing would look like a “This Note’s For You”-style parody of TV commercials using beloved rock songs if it weren’t an actual TV commercial that uses an actual beloved rock song.
