Bands that won’t hitch a ride with Hummer

You might think a band named Trans Am would be a good fit for a General Motors commercial. But the Washington, D.C., rockers bypassed a $180,000 offer for their song “Total Information Awareness” because the product was a Hummer. “We figured it was almost like giving music to the Army, or Exxon,” guitarist Philip Manley tells the Associated Press. Hummer also got the cold shoulder from Thermal and LiLiPUT, even though the latter band has been kaput for 20 years.
