jane's addiction has officially gone the way of the sell out. well aside from the whole getting back together to tour thing that looked alot like making money instead of art. but, the bastard is watching the transporter on fx (which the bastard likes alot because of the film maker's portrayal of tough bald guys blowing shit up) and during the commercial, on comes a jack daniels commercial and what is our incidental music but, "jane says". one of the more poignant songs of the era and it's the soundtrack of a jack daniels commercial. how fitting. waitaminut. jack daniels has commercials?

actually i don't quite know if janes was touring per se at the time. perry might have been DJing bah mitzvahs at that point. navarro had tv shows because of his wife and his freaky look. everyone wants to think they even they can get a model no matter how freaky they look. that's the marketing behind that sort of thing

Listen, Pete Townsend put it best himself, "They are my fucking songs and I'll do with them as I fucking please!" If Perry wants to make cash off of his story so be it, selling out is not creating music that takes 15 years to become acceptable enough to be part of a TV comercial.
oh and i concur to a point. the thing that i'm thinking of is whether this is selling out by fan definition or is this something that comes as a trapping of the information age. does that also mean that bands will be less relavent as a result of this kind of exposure. sure it's his to do as he pleases but will the fan base revolt. i don't really think so. but it's a point worth discussing
