i'm having a hard time swallowing this i guess, just can't really see it as a good thing. don't get me wrong i think it's wonderful for atkins himself, he deserves everything he gets and from what i've heard it's not a hack job on the tune but, at the same time it's a horrible shame that the man was not compensated for the importance of his music in the first place. to me it's just another example of a big corporation jumping on something way after the fact, stomping on something beautiful like a giant baby hewy and milking it for financial gain. maybe it will expose some people to the music that will be enriched by it and go on to learning more about it but, for every one of those people there are 100 mindless sheep that could care less about the tune or anything that is good art in general and why waste good a art on sheep? i believe the people who would appreciate it would have found it eventually anyway without the help of ford motor company. but what do i know?
