Just for grins: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17579943/
"It was recently reported that Toyota will pass General Motors this year to become the world's No. 1 automaker. This has far-reaching ramifications for the business world, of course, but it also may have a profound affect on music. Over the years, American cars have often been celebrated in song. Certain models have been immortalized by artists in love with machines manufactured in and around Detroit. Now Toyota threatens that relationship. Music aficionados are familiar with "Mustang Sally," but would "Celica Sally" produce the same nostalgia someday? Is "Little Deuce Coupe" in danger of being replaced by "Little Green Prius"?" |

Charlie Nudo takes another hit right to the head! Hey Noodles! Your brain must be dribbling out of your ears by now. This has far-reaching ramifications for the business world, of course, but it also may have a profound affect on music. Over the years, American cars have often been celebrated in song. Certain models have been immortalized by artists in love with machines manufactured in and around Detroit. Now Toyota threatens that relationship. Music aficionados are familiar with "Mustang Sally," but would "Celica Sally" produce the same nostalgia someday? Is "Little Deuce Coupe" in danger of being replaced by "Little Green Prius"?" snip Such are the passage of time and the vagaries of progress. Remember, people in the 19th century loved their horses and buggies, as well as their "prairie schooners." No one in their right mind, except a few eccentrics, would use them for transportation anywhere today. Beside, the aforementioned songs are things of an increasingly distant past. Ask any "Gen-Yer" if they've even heard these songs all the way through, let alone recongize the lyrics. 99% probably have not, and the car references mean nothing to them. |
