Sign Number 3 of the Apocalypse: The Allman Brothers on a Menopause Commercial??



Time to load up on the staple goods and canned meats, my friends. The world is no doubt nearing a close, and this is worse than Cynthia McKinney making sense..... Blasphemy has occured in an evil match between daytime TV and the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Let me explain. I'm having lunch in the tech lounge at work, where the only channel that comes in is TV 13, so we're watching Victor and Nikki and the rest of the " Young and the Restless", when it's time for a commercial break. It's about Menopause, so, being a 37 yr old guy, I'm naturally tuning in .. Suddenly, I hear something very familiar........ It's The Allman Brothers' "Blue Sky" in the background!!!

After 35 years and who knows how many albums and concert tickets sold, Gregg and the gang had to sell off a copyright for a commercial about hot flashes and night sweats??!!! They couldn't have possibly done enough heroin to have blown all that cash. It is truly a sad day when arguably the greatest Southern Rock band ever ( I said arguably , Skynyrd Fans..) has to sell out one of their songs to be played during Soap Opera hour...

In the meantime, which tastes better after a Nuclear Holocaust - SPAM or Vienna Sausages ???

This is as bad as hearing Jethro Tull in the Muzak... Maybe I need to call Dr. Venkman and Dr. Spengler

There certainly is something strange in the neighborhood...

Budweiser dipped rats are best.

I agree - this is truly a sign something is really wrong in the world. Time to start making plans for the worst - as if that's not about the most horrible and unjust thing imaginable!

Now I understand why my parents got ticked off when "Mack the Knife" ended up on all those commercials...

Just got back from London no spam or vienna sausage was to be found but a lot of blood pudding and American Rock and Roll stations. I believe the spam will last longer and it will be long.

Moye, you are one Globetrotting MoFo! So England loves American music, and we love British Rock - the grass is always greener...

Welcome to my blog, Joe. I'm afraid it's true. Next will be "Whipping Post" on a Cool-Whip ad, or "Midnight Rider" on an Amtrak commercial. Sorry, paisan. I read your profile - you're a tougher guy than I am!
