She definately doesn't need the money.
I think most Beatles fans would like to hear unreleased John songs, even if it is for an ad. It introduces him to a new generation.
A lot of music in ads have been given a new lease of life.
So I think it's a great idea.

ITA..I don't see it as selling him out at all. I see it as her attempt to keep his memory alive by releasing snippets of his unreleased work every so often.

Yeah, but isn't that what the keepers of the flame always say? (Hendrix and such ...)

^I guess so...but at least Yoko isn't releasing videos of her singing a duet with her dead husband, like Lisa Marie Presley recently did with her father. Now that, to me was a blatant attempt to further her own music "career" and had nothing to do with honoring Elvis's memory.

^^ Hate to say it, but Lisa Marie and her music sure do SUCK. Plus, she's Co$.

She could have the sweetest voice in the world. As long as she is involved in the Co$, I would still have nothing to do with her.
