Hey, look, never mind the album name or the sensibilities of the artist. What is really offensive is the re-making of the ((finest poem/anthem to burning loneliness of all time)) into a pitch for a car.
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
It doesn't bring the Altima to mind.
"How Soon Is Now?" was roughly the anthem for Gen-X until "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came along. Used by Nissan, and nobody gave a crap. I remember when "Revolution" was used by Nike, the first time a Beatles song was used commercially, and the big fuss made over the whole thing. Ooh, Microsoft got a Stones song for Win95, another big fuss.
At least "Rock n Roll" makes sense in the context of what Cadillac is trying to push.
