Re: "Please Don't Go," Brian Ritchie rules.

Listen to "Pink Houses" and then listen to Mellencamp's revisiting of the same theme in that song of his they're now using to sell beer or pickup trucks or whatever it is the ad is for. The contrast is like a clinic in the importance of details.

And, yeah, that link for "Pink Moon" is to the Volkswagen commercial. Remember when that ad came out and people recoiled in horror from the sacrilege? But then some others argued that at least the ad would help to introduce Nick Drake to a new audience. Well, I was part of that new audience, so I'm gratefully fond of that ad.
