True. But at least Seger waited more than a decade before cashing in with "Like a Rock."

Thank God for the DVR.

That is also true. However, to me, both songs are/were being ruined by the repetiveness of marketing Chevy. I used to like "Like a Rock" until a decade later.

Thank God for DVR and man law's remote controls.

I'm not so sure I agree with that. Mellencamp's early "hits" were roots rock n roll vs his later stuff had violins in it.

I don't think you can compare the two different era's. Paper n Fire and Cherry Bomb are much different than Pink Houses and Jack n Diane.

Man i've just been sitting here for the last 2 hours and 31 minutes since I got off of work wondering "Who's country is this?". Hopefully that one commercial with it's very clear lyrics that remind me as to who's country it is will come on soon so I can get on with my night.

Here's a funny blurb too from thebrushback.com

Chevy, John Mellencamp To Invade Iran

DETROIT--World leaders were stunned on Friday when singer John Mellencamp and the Chevrolet company announced that they were planning to invade Iran in order to “protect good old fashioned American values” and get the word out about the new 2006 Chevrolet Silverado.

“America is the land of pick-up truck driving and shoveling things and wearing muddy boots, but most of all, we’re a land of freedom,” said Chevy spokesman Andrew Miller. “As a company that’s synonymous with America and all she stands for, we feel it’s our duty stand up and fight. With the help of pop singer John Mellencamp,. we’re going to roll into Tehran with our fleet of rugged Chevy Silverados and show those towel heads what American folks can do when we pull together. Then we’re gonna get together around a campfire with our cowboy hats on, eat some steak, and listen to John sing that song over and over again, which should drive the remainder of the Iranians to suicide, if they have any taste in music.”

The only comment John Mellencamp made was: "This is our couuuntry."

No, John, Iran is not our country.

Monday Night Football will rescue you, as I'm sure the commercial will be played at least seven times during that telecast.

From The Onion:

Impressive New Honda Inspires John Mellencamp To Write Song About Japan

INDIANAPOLIS—The high quality and enduring value of the new 2007 Honda Accord has inspired roots-rock veteran John Mellencamp to write a stirring hymn about the working-class nation of Japan. "Oh, you noble land of the rising sun/Where discipline and duty are still number one," Mellencamp sings in the video for "Buddha On The Highway," in which he is seen playing his guitar on the hood of a bright orange Accord parked in a terraced rice paddy. "There's a place in Nihon for me and you/I was born in Hokkaido and I'll die there, too." Mellencamp has reportedly begun work on a follow-up song telling the story of Hideo and Mariko, two Okinawan kids doing the best they can, who lose their jobs when Honda closes down the local plant and moves operations to Marysville, OH.

LOLOLOLOL!
