    Volkswagen Commercial

    I saw a commercial for Volkswagen last night that featured a kilted rock guitarist. I'm not sure, but it kind of looked like the guy from Spinal Tap.

    I saw that last night! My daughter (the Rocker) and I assumed that it was Chris Guest...Nigel Tufnal from Spinal Tap and Mr. Jamie Lee Curtis (lucky barstard!). I figured that I'd look at the Volkswagen website and see if we were correct in this assumption.

    The irony is that I have a buddy who's a big guitar collector and who has been buying Volkswagens for years...he has finally come to the realization that VW's are overpriced, too finicky and too expensive to maintain and WAS going to go elsewhere for his next ride...but we saw the "buy a car, get a free guitar" thing and said, "...oh, well....guess they've got his number...he'll be buying a new Passat...".

    There's also a commercial with Slash from Guns n Roses but Slash doens't wear a kilt...just that way-cool hat.
