A Step In The Right Direction

The White Stripes have turned down an appearance in a GAP advertisement worth an estimated $1million. As you probably know, Gap has been going after all the major music acts from Daft Punk, to Tricky, to Aerosmith. The band said that they were approached by the high street fashion house to get involved with their latest television campaign. Talking to NME.COM, vocalist Jack White said: "The Gap wanted us to be in a commercial and we said 'no' and everyone said, 'why not'? It's almost as if, if people are willing to give you that much money, you are insulting everyone you know by turning it down. People's opinions about selling out seem to have changed over the years." Maybe it is just me, but I agree with him totally, those Gap ads bother me and don't like seeing bands I respect doing them.
