Now that Bruce Springsteen has sold his music catalog to Sony for $500 million {dollars}, determine the music big will need to begin recouping that cash and making rather more off of it. A technique is to permit the songs for use in commercials.
As soon as there was an uproar when Michael Jackson permitted Nike to make use of the Beatles “Revolution” in a television commercial to promote sneakers. Paul McCartney speaking to Bob Costas stated it bothers him “heaps.”
“With the Beatles, we had all these presents, anyone who publishes these songs you get these presents, we had presents from the large comfortable drink corporations, however we at all times turned them down as a result of we believed it might devalue the entire thing. We would be seen to be promoting out which we had been eager to not do. We form of felt that our followers believed in us and we owed them some kind of integrity.”
“So one thing like ‘Revolution’ it means one thing greater than a pair of sneakers,” says McCartney, “and I feel commercially it is not that nice a call.”
Having stated that, Beatles’ songs proceed for use in commercials, which you’ll be able to see here. So if Sony had been to go down that street with Bruce songs, what songs do you suppose they might use to promote what merchandise? Listed here are some from my listeners and Fb associates:
