Why is Kansas's song "Dust in the Wind" (And all your money won't another minute buy) being used in an automobile commercial?

Why is it being used in any commercial?

I don't know, but all this "you're now officially middle-aged, because we *are* going to use the music you listened to in high school to advertise things your parents would buy" malarkey is *depressing.*

My grown-up card is forged, and I don't *want* a real one, thankyouverymuch.

1. Some ad exec had a cool techy idea: Hey! We'll make cars go pftttz (like the one hoss shay, though of course, the ad exec wouldn't have thought of that)

2. Whoever owns the rights to the song needed the money

3. The target market only notices (1) pretty tune and (2) Kewl effects.

Who me; cynical?
