So, yeah, I watched the Oscars last night. I have precious little to say about it beyond that I truly appreciate that "Bohemian Rhapsody" did NOT win the Best Picture award. It was like a decent VH1 movie at BEST. I didn't see most of the other stuff.
In any case, during the course of proceedings, they showed this Budweiser ad featuring Charlize Theron demonstrating her billiards prowess in a bar. Yeah, yeah, ho hum, right? Oooh, she's sexy, etc. etc.
The thing that got my attention was during a fleeting glimpse of the jukebox ... the cover of Miami by The Gun Club...
It is probably the highest-profile exposure the band and the late, great Jeffrey Lee Pierce will ever receive, however brief.
Watch the full ad...
This, incidentally, should you not be familiar, was The Gun Club....
