Kinda odd. Hard for me to imagine a company like that not having a firm make its ads. Does he make and direct them in-house?
Part of the problem with this stuff, like the Trump usage, a lot of the musicians donāt really control who uses their music. It ends up itās really ASCAP who handles that for most artists, and they have to have it in their contract that they have to specify particular parties they donāt want using their music.
Makes me wonder if this is a problem between the Doobie Brothers and ASCAP. They have already been auctioning royalties from Doobie Brothers music:
Th Doobie Brothers shouldnāt be lobbing any eternal damnation stones, I mean - they recorded records with Michael McDonald. Even thinking about Takinā it to the Streets is enough to make me gag.
Just sayinā.
Probably an advertising stunt theyāre both in on. Iāve certainly heard about his shirts for the first time from this, so it kinda worked, too.
Mr. Murray is a known golfer. Plus, unless Mr. Murray produced these ads, the Doobies have no standing, right?
I liked that song, as well as most of their stuff that Iāve heard.
If their music is good enough to use in a commercial then itās good enough to be compensated for.
You know how some people canāt tolerate cilantro? Thatās how I feel about Michael McDonald. Thereās an oleaginous quality to his voice that puts me off. Itās like heās singing through congealed pork drippings.
I donāt think I suggested otherwise? Michael McDonald may have damned them, but thereās no reason they shouldnāt get their 50 silver pieces.
Oh, I see; itās a personal preference thing.
Fair enough.
Donāt hold back, now; tell us how you really feelā¦
Feels like Murrayās legal team is substituting humor for respect.
