Being a raider fan, I remember that commercial well - also the cameo of Sonny "Bono - what?"

I heard someone say about Bo - he did not copy anyone. Not many can say that.

Bo Diddley definitely deserved a nice nod as well.

As I heard discussed on a local radio show, if you did a paternity test for most current rock & roll you'd find Bo Diddley's musical DNA there.  He influenced so many other musicians it's nearly impossible to listen to a rock & roll station for any sort of measurable period and not hear something that borrows from Bo Diddley's style.

I love this!  Not only is it clever, it is soooo true.  Thanks

Doc, we just keep coming up with connections.  I was a rabid Charger fan in high school, but spent so much of the next 10 years overseas that I kind of lost track and interest.  In '74 we moved into Fort Ord and it was in the early days of the old Raider dynasty and I got hooked.  The Chief almost disowned me.  But it soon became like the Army-Navy game...a semi-friendly rivalry.  Until I put a Raider bumper sticker on his car on my last day of leave and he didn't discover it until some local fans blew their horns at him.  Fortunately, I spent the next couple of years overseas, again, and he had cooled a bit before I saw him again.

I didn't see the Sonny Bono one...like I said...a lot of Americana passed me by during 3 decades...I saw the ones that were on when I wasn't overseas or deployed elsewhere or on the road or in the woods.  But for clever, the Bo commercials rank very high in my judgement.

My inlaws (except a nephew by marriage to my Niece in law) are all Charger fans - rabid too!
