Lol, I wrongfully use DJ as a term for electronic musicians in general.

Christ, what a stupid move that was. I remember the big scandal when Wrangler jeans used 'Forunate Son' in one of their commercials twisting the meaning of his lyrics and using just peices of them to make him sound gung-ho patriotic. It pretty much mocked everything he was trying to say in his song. Ah, just another reason to hate Wrangler jeans.

Yeah I know what you're talking about. I used to think it was a very patriotic song until I really paid attention to the lyrics. It's probably the definitive Vietnam war song, either that or Run Through the Jungle.
Ads twist the meanings of songs all the time. It's pretty funny.
