    This is the greatest commercial of all time. That sweeping shot at the beginning...When the boy in the back looks over at the girl...When the back car light goes on... It's so perfect and beautiful and wonderfully understated. So much from something so simply stated.

    Doesn't matter how people have found Nick Drake's music. What matters is that they have come across it and they immediately relate to the beauty of his music and poetry.

    He was never forgotten. "Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies. Hoping to keep, The sun from his eyes. East from the city, And down to the cave. In search of a master, In search of a slave." We used to be creators and patrons. Now clueless vultures and pitchmen. How we have fallen. Nick tried to warn us.

    well, you sort of compressed some events there but here is the most important thing, nick's estate (for all intents and purposes his sister at this point) did get paid for that ad...a lot! and thanks to producer/manager joe boyd's insistence that nick's catalog always be in print as a condition of sale when he unloaded island records, tens of thousands of people were able to go out and buy all three albums and the comp in stores...otherwise he would still be forgotten.

    A wonderfully peaceful song.

    Nick Drake had some really unusual tunings. That's what made his songwriting so unique. When I bought my last guitar I detuned it at the guitar shop before I bought it so I could play Pink Moon on it and see how it sounded. That's my test for a beautiful sounding acoustic guitar. I used to sit in my back yard under the stars and play this along with a few other Nick Drake favorites (Harvest Breed is another).

    Nick Drake was so withdrawn, and in so much psychic pain when he finished the Pink Moon LP, that he dropped it off at the Island front desk, where it sat around for weeks before anyone listened to it.

    He then went on to overdose or suicide.

    Sorry I get upset when a great artist's dignity is trampled by an uncaring corporate culture that digs up the graves of defiantly anti-corporate icons, and sets the reanimated corpses to task as pitchmen.

    But I guess Zombies are a big hit these days.

    Yes, your skewed insight is very sad.

    Nothing like hearing the music of a man who was lost as the counterculture dissolved around him, descending into darkness and death, being used to shill automobiles.

    Got a drug free workplace VW? Bit of hypocrisy here.

    As for those who don't cringe at this. I'm sorry you have to resort to being spoon-fed life's surprises by corporate overlords.

    Sad.
