Olympic Ads: Brandi Carlile’s The Story
by Pete

Say what you will about music in advertising, but I for one am happy I found this song – and I wouldn’t have heard it if not for a GM commercial. If you’re in the U.S., you’re hearing it about every 20 minutes during the Olympics.
Powerful tune…

I’m clearly a poor excuse for an American as I’ve not watched a single minute of the Olympics. I did catch portions of the opening ceremonies.
That said I really read the title as Olympic Ads: Belinda Carlisle The Story. To which I said out loud “what the f**k does a Go Go have to do with the Olympics?”
I’m clearly loosing touch, eh?

Hmm, my next post may be: “Jane Wiedlin, the Javelin Years” – or – “The Bangles’ Susannah Hoffs – The Teeniest Beach Volleyballer That Could”

You can write anything you want about Susannah Hoffs so long as you include pictures.

I totally agree. The song is so powerful that it tends to overshadow the brand, which was…Oh yeah, something about cars.
Did someone mention Susanna Hoffs? Where??
