When the music you live for is being posted on a website for thousands too see, it just kind of makes your relationship with the music feel less sacred for a minute, knowing that everyone is looking at what your looking at.
I didnt let the video change my opinion of the band and I didnt let the Ad either. But knowing that these decisions are more money driven just kind of makes you sigh, but then you move on.
Ive found a few bands on myspace, nothing special though. If someone found the music of their soul through the web community that is myspace then wonderfull. But the inital shock of an advertisement leaves you in uncomfortable thought.
This ad was good for BoC, it probally did expose people to something they might really get into.
But most of the first generation fans like us just saw "our" music let out of its shell and out to the masses.
Its like letting go of your kid to go off to college, you know its a good thing but you feel uncomfortable that he/she is starting another stage of life and that things will be a little different.
BoC is our child, and were just watching them take their steps into adulthood, we are happy but a little unsettled that things will be different.

I don't like commercials but BoC have to make a living! It's stupid to think that they survive in real life just by selling their records. Do you really think BoC gives an iota of what you think about that? Get a life man.

Well, thats my point.
