A recent Intervention episode concerned a woman who as a 16-year-old had been a Soul Train dancer.  They showed some clips. She advanced from the show to A&R by age 21 but got hooked on crack and removed herself from the world entirely.  Sad.

I saw this commercial a couple of days ago (this is a longer version).  Advertising certainly has changed since the days of my youth!

Clean Balls from AXE.

Richard Carpenter saw it on TV, called up Paul Williams and said "is there a full-length song?" and the rest is history.

Ha, I love how they sync "white lace" with the lady holding up her white glove.

And I think that is a fucking FANTASTIC song.  (I also enjoyed Grant Lee Buffalo's treatment of it on the '90s Carpenters trib.)

This was inspired by hearing Mr Williams talk about it on "Lost 45s" -- he said, since it was a 60-sec spot, that he was trying to describe a wedding in as few words as possible, and "white lace and promises" did the trick perfectly. Genius, really.
