Reply to comment by PressureMuch5340 in TIL the former members of Timbuk 3 have refused to license the song "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" for commercials, including a $900,000 offer from AT&T and offers from Ford, the U.S. Army, and Bausch & Lomb for their Ray-Ban sunglasses. by big_macaroons

Reminds me of how Jim Morrison of the Doors told band mates before he died not to put their music in ads. He was always passionately against that.

They’ve since honored his wishes and share his ethos about it. Imagine how much money they could have made though. Their sacrifice has kept the Doors music sacred and I love them for that.
