Looking fuckin cool as usual!!

Haha this is great. “Hey, don’t settle for walking!” It’s not even really advertising the scooter, it’s only saying that it’s better than walking - which isn’t saying much.

Lou is worse cause he made a hissy fit at the producers of that song for making it too commercial. What a hypocrite

Selling out is relative to your values I guess. If you endorse a product that you actually like and use I don’t see the harm in that, but if Keith Richards did a commercial for that nicotine patch or the “Partnership for a Drug Free America” then I would worry. This is a well done ad regardless.

selling one’s music for commercial purposes or in a commercial manner… isn’t that essentialy how musicians feed themselves?

evry musician that sells his music for a commercial is for now, and all eternity, removed from the artistic world. i don’t care if you shit mona lisas on q. you made your f****** choice!

I think it can be OK to feature your song in a commercial if there’s some similarity in concept, but this is just way off. What the fuck was he thinking?

I agree much more with tom waits’ perspective of selling songs for commercials.

It was an anti-walking ad.

1985 and 86 were the years of this ad campaign. Yes I remember it well.

um, this is what Iggy Pop would say in defense of Lou Reed-
“It’s okay to sell your song for commercial purposes because your song was not commercially inspired.”
food for thought for any starving artists out there.

The point was…that this was shot in the early 80s’..very sophisticated advertising of the day..It took another 10-15 years for “others” to catch up to this more sophisticated style and messaging.

because if anyone can make a scooter seem less gay, it’s the singer from the velvet underground

What was Lou Reed thinking?!

That wasn’t a very effective ad. What was it for again?
