Haha, nice material Barb. I personally like (and need) the flatulence tablets.

A while ago I heard ELPs Karn Evil 9 First Impression on a commercial for Law and Order; Trial By Jury (the ironic thing is they used the line "welcome back my friends to the show that never ends" and the show ended up getting canceled pretty quickly).

Yet again I heard Pink Floyd being used for advertising a program on Channel 5 over here in England today. It's for a program about Elizabeth Taylor of all people..., maybe they're indicating she's neurotic! It being the same section of _Great Gig In The Sky_ they used for Neurofen all those years back.

After the Live8 concert, expect to hear a lot more Floyd commercially.

Haha! You stole mine! I thought I was the only one who caught that commercial. I saw it before school and was all excited that someone actually knew ELP.
