I have a new favorite commercial. It’s the “Joy Ride” Amazon holiday ad. I never get tired of watching this. It’s one of those commercials that you actually stop what you are doing and watch.
As you know, this is my all-time favorite commercial. I show it here every year. It’s “The Publix Song.” Every time I hear it, it brings me back to my youth. I feel like I am in that place and time.
This commercial ran for a few years from 1987 to 1996 and every time it came on, I would stop what I was doing and watch. It’s part of my Christmas memories of my youth and it’s just one of those things – a song, just like a smell, that brings you back to another time.
The music in Last Train Home is from Still Life Talking an album by Pat Metheny Group, released in 1987.
To this day, when Pat Metheny is performing, he’ll refer to the song as, “The Publix Song.”
Till next time . . . .
