Commercials...

I've noticed they have a much better class of TV commercials recently. I especially like the one that shows an typical office in the afternoon, with everyone sleepy, and "some people say Robert Goulet" sneaks in and messes with your stuff. Funny!

Also, I've noticed there are more and more commercials using rock/pop/folk songs of my youth (yes, I know, the patent or whatever has run out on them and they don't have to pay big bucks to use them anymore. Please don't remind me how old I am, okay?) I saw one tonight that included the chorus of a personal favorite; Donovan's "Catch the Wind." I am including the entire song for those of you too young to remember...

In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

"When rain has hung the leaves with tears..." Beautiful imagery! Man, I wish I had written that!
