Remember those '80s Michelob TV ads with Eric Clapton, Genesis and Steve Winwood?

How come there're no cool ads like these anymore?

    Nope, those are too "low key" and boring for most people today. There is too much "mood" in them too. That said, I'll take those commercials any day over anything out now.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Yep. I still have the promotional poster from Michelob with Clapton on it. I always liked the 2nd version of After Midnight the best. :cool:
