Patrick’s Rants

Well that creepy King is back. Burger King has brought back the creepy King that they told everyone that it was good to wake up with. This time they have Hootie, from Hootie and the Blowfish singing about the “Bacon Cheddar Ranch” (to the tune of Big Rock Candy Mountain- a hobo/bluegrass song about drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, running from the cops, and happy hour - the original “Gangsta Rap”) I mean, is Hootie that broke? Is he desperate for work? Did he have to pay too much for he Dylan song he plagarized?
Now I know some stars do commercials and it is supposed to push the commercials to higher status, but what is going on here? We have the King who looks arguably like a bad halloween costume, Hootie with his guitar and all the various and sundry flying birds and such that make up this commercial… kinda like an old Briar Rabbit film that I saw once…
