We start off with an oldie but a goodie that had previously been highlighted by one of our columnists. The disconnect in this one is pretty funny but also very sad and it has the honor of being a double crime against music. We are talking of course about Six Pence None the Richer's cover of The La's classic "There She Goes". The cover version in itself is humorous because here we have a "Christian" band covering a song supposedly about heroin use. To compound this and why it is the example we use to kick off this series is that this cover was used in advertisements for birth control pills. Yes a Christian band singing a song about heroin that was used to sell birth control pills. You can see how this qualifies as a crime against music and overall good taste! It's just plain wrong on so many levels. The only thing worse would be a tampon company using Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" in an ad. (We better not give them ideas, but we hope Eddie and company would never let their music be degraded at such a level.) We must stop these crimes against music! So join us each week as we call out another company for their crimes.
