:-) Well, I guess it was written as a baby song for Arlo, so it's not such a big step.

Recently Roy Book Binder mentioned one of his songs was about to be used for some national TV ad campaign. He noted that if such an offer had been made 30 years ago he'd have been outraged and walked out in a huff. Now, he simply asked, How much?

I'll never forget hearing Beetles songs in an elevator.

Even Beethovan took hack work from Thompson, Burns' publisher, to do treatments for an upscale tea table book of Scottish folk & wrote songs. (A guinnea per volume as I recall.) Then he compounded the stuff by swiping the material as if new for the Scottish symphony.

Oh, so many "spokespersons" for so many things.

About 100 years ago I asked my sister howcome the ads seem to have better (new) music than pop music. She opined the ad companies pay more. Seemed reasonable. Of course, it's much cheaper to rent old music.

Oh, I guess I get outraged too but nobody offers me $500,000 to endorse their sneakers or cars.

What would Woody have said? Might depend how hungry he was or if he cared - someone pays you for a song - that's good. He did take the commission for those songs on Boulder Dam, etc. I think Pastures of Plenty was one - good song.
