"The Nick Cave skateboard – and five other bizarre musical endorsements."

The weirdest one isn't Smokey Robinson's "the soul is in the bowl" seafood gumbo. It's the Rolling Stones' Rice Krispies:

Cream advertised Falstaff beer - or at least had a song (61 sec).

For a second I thought they were talking about Scott Walker the politician rather than the eccentric avant garde crooner.

Nick Cave is one of very few rockers who got better with time. It is remarkable how rare it is that someone improves on their first few albums.

They perhaps could use some Brown Sugar! How come they taste so good?

Most of us are just one trick ponies anyway...

God, what a shame the DKs didn't do that "Holiday in Cambodia" Levis ad!

The Stones ablated musical endorsements when they let Apple use She's A Rainbow after letting Microsoft use Start Me Up.

It's known as the 6/6 effect. You spend 6 years working on your first album: reworking material, playing it before a live audience. Six months preparing your second trying to follow up a hit.

The Stones are one of my favorite bands from the 60s,70s,80s, etc. but that is one song I haven't heard. It is always great to point out the sexual innuendo in so many of their songs, so I can say the Stones were doing this 40-50 years before any of today's "bad boys" in rock-and-roll.

Nothing could be wilder than Louis Armstrong's promotion of the laxative Swiss Kris which he took daily. And gave as gifts to friends. And posed for an ad for it...with his pants down...on the can.

And, incidentally, not only did he smoke pot every day, he actually wrote President Eisenhower a letter urging him to legalize it. Bet that got a chuckle in the Oval Office.

Let's not forget Tommy Bolin's "Don't let your mind Post Toastee, like a lot of my friends did."

Not exactly a product endorsement, but darn good advice.
