I love The White Stripes. There music makes me want to jump around in a very special way. Seven Nation Army is in the Top 5 songs ever.
Today I heard that Jack White did a song for an ad. Worse, that ad is for Coca Cola...
Here it is on YouTube (no embed due to deep seated disgust and sadness on my part).
On this one, I am with Bill Hicks: "Here's the deal, folks. You do a commercial - you're off the artistic roll call, forever. End of story. Okay? You're another whore at the captialist gang bang and if you do a commercial, there's a price on your head. Everything you say is suspect and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling into my drink."
So that I don't end on a downer, here is some more of the fabulous Mr Hicks.

Just turned up your page when I googled looking for the actual "off the artistic roll call" quote from Hicks.
Thanks! And yes, it's depressing when a singer or band you like sell out. The day Trent Reznor starts whoring Pepsi is the day I burn my NIN CD's. (And I mean with fire.)
