    Damn, you beat me to it!

    Oh well. I'm sure someone will youtube the clip soon enough. I knew it was Pearl Jam, but it took me a bit to recognize the music.

    Yeah, I didn't know if it was in my head or from my computer. I was listening to the 2003 Noblesville show tonight, so I had an overload of Pearl Jam and thought I was just hearing things.

    Oh my god. Dude it's a GREEN commercial. They are not selling a product. It's for the environment. Wow, some of you all need to get a little more informed. That commercial is great on so many levels, I have become very conscious of the environment.


    Here man, if you still think this is the same as a song in a Chevy commercial or a Pepsi commercial then good for you.

    Maybe that means Harrison Ford is a Pearl Jam fan??
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    Harrison Ford was part of the crew who shot The Doors Live At The Hollywood Bowl, so yes, he is one cool MF.

    Ha ha!.. A little off topic, but putzing around on youtube brought me to this clip.. best movie scene ever!

    Apparently the original idea was to have an elaborate fight scene, but Harrison was suffering from the stomach flu and brought up the idea.

    Yep this is a commercial, same as a car commercial. I bet they sold that song to them. They didn't let them use it for free.

    I never said anything about this kind of stuff. This is not a commercial as in a commercial, it's for charity (awareness). So you think Pearl Jam sold them Corduroy? Dumbness can be prevented with a little effort.



    Heres a few links, maybe this will help you see what this is:
