Interesting thing about celebrities doing commercials.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
What actually happens to celebrities who do a commercial is that afterward they get on with their lives, their careers, their art. They do not then go on to sing, act, or joke about the product forever and ever. They have not sold their soul, just part of their time. They have a contract and they fulfill it like anyone who has a job.
Furthermore, a Hepcat Hermit often finds entertainment value and artistic merit in the commercials themselves. The above ad is a perfect example.
Many people who consider themselves intellectuals or idealistic like to talk about how these celebrities have sold out. They talk and talk. They seldom produce anything as beautiful as this song.
