Marketing Genius or Moron?

The goal of marketing is to get attention, right? But what if your brainstorm draws the interest of police, the FBI and Homeland Security? And what if you took pictures while you were creating this panic? You would get arrested, that’s what.
And you would get a lot of attention.

Jeff Beck

Posted at 11:42 AM on February 1, 2007 by Christina Schmitt (15 Comments)

The walking rock encyclopedias around The Current are probably going to laugh at me for this one, but I should know more about Jeff Beck.

There's a new recording that I want to check of the Jeff Beck Group, featuring Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, playing at a bar in Dallas in 1968. The reviews call Jeff Beck "instrumental napalm." Not to mention his late-'60s hair cut is H-O-T.

Help take me to school. Share your favorite Jeff Beck memories, albums, etc.

Working the crowd..

Admit it, somewhere deep down inside you've always wanted to be in a music video. Maybe you're not interested in "Tawny Kitaen-ing" it across the front of a sports car. But what about blending into a crowd shot in a Bright Eyes video? A little more up your alley? They're shooting a video tomorrow in LA and if you're interested you can get more info here. Do you think I should offer up bonus points if you wear a Whitesnake t-shirt to the taping?
