I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.
People want to make a distinction between what's commercial and what's art.
I don't feel I'm making a conscious effort to go more commercial.
A commercial is a commercial.
I think that for the most part, when I started doing comedy, it had become very commercialized.
Parodies of commercials are by no means new and have been popular going back to black-and-white TV shows of the '50s.
The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.
I'm not doing contemporary songs unless something comes along that really knocks my socks off.
The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don't even mention the product until the very end. You don't really know what the commercial is all about. They're kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that's why I think they're so entertaining.
All art is contemporary art because it had to be made when it was now.
