There's the comely Sheryl Crow performing on the Today show this morning. I'm not even sure she was booked, she just saw the TV cameras and grabbed her guitar. Seriously, this just-above-middling talent has become the Bob Hope of rock'n'roll. There's nowhere she won't play if it'll get her some publicity. Remember how Hope spent his last 30 years or so letting his once-legendary comic talent drift away so he could be at every ribbon-cutting in North America? Now comes the latest, that Crow is going to perform in-air on a jet plane. As reported on mtv.com:
To christen the takeoff of a new partnership between Sony Connect and United Airlines, Sheryl Crow will perform a 40-minute acoustic set in an airplane flying between Chicago and Los Angeles on May 4. Upon landing, Crow will play a party celebrating the arrival of a new Sony digital Walkman. Soon after, fans can purchase the performances on mileageplusmusic.com. Sony Connect is Sony Music's digital online music service, offering songs for 99 cents a pop, and now that they've teamed with United Airlines, travelers can trade in frequent-flyer points for songs at Connect.com.
And people (well, out-of-touch people over 40) are blasting Bob Dylan for that creepily effective Victoria's Secret ad? I find it really humorous that Crow caused a stir last year by wearing a t-shirt with an anti-war message to some event--she's become as corporate as a rock star can get.
