hey, this was a year ago, and i was a far more opinionated and ignorant young man back then, but I'm still not sure everyone gets my point...
I wasn't annoyed at him "selling out" as such - i don't think you can ever aim that criticism at someone who's dead.
However, I'm sure he once said if he could have felt that his music had helped someone, at least ONE person, then everything would have been worthwhile. And I think very few of those thousands who bought it having heard it first in the VW advert would have been "helped" by it - certainly some would (tv permeates everyone's awareness), but proportionally speaking, an insignificant number.
But ultimately, what do i know? I am young. The original post sounds more belligerent than I intended anyway.
