TALKIN’ ‘BOUT MY C-C-CORPORATION



The original recording of “My Generation” by The Who is now a Pepsi commercial and getting heavy rotation in Inauguration news coverage. Doesn’t Pete have enough money? I am less than happy about this, both the selling of my memories and it’s symbolic role as an omen or portent.

Did anyone at Pepsi recall that the a key line in the song is "hope I die before I get old"?
Or that two of the guys playing on the song are dead? (One from coke.)

And I could swear it's been remixed with more piano on the intro.

The supreme irony is, after all those damned commercials, I want a Pepsi, in the old-school, silk-screened bottle.
