Still Can't Get Any Satisfaction

 A story,

which is still true today as it was on

February 9th, 2016

when I wrote it.

Called;

Can't Get No Satisfaction Unless We Follow What Our Idols Tell Us What To Do

Lyrics by the

Rolling Stones.

 *****

"When I'm driving in my car and the man comes on the radio. He's telling me more and more about some useless information. Supposed to drive my imagination."

Payton Manning 

mentioned that he planned to

"Drink a lot of Budweiser's"

after the last

Superbowl

he played in,

the media went crazy thinking he got paid for saying it.

A couple of facts.

First,

he wasn't paid by

Budweiser

to say that.

Second,

it was worth $3.2 million to the company anyways,

according to

Marketwatch.com 

for him to do so.

(USA Today)

"When I'm watching my TV and a man comes on and tells me how white my shirts can be. But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me."

When

Beyoncé

put out her first song since 2014 over the weekend,

Red Lobster

probably wasn't expecting a sales bump to result. The sit-down seafood restaurant got one anyway. The chain said sales were up 33% on Sunday over the previous year, thanks to a lyric in the new track that suggests using Red Lobster's food as a reward for sex. (CNN Money)

"When I'm riding round the world, and I'm doing this, and I'm signing that, and I'm trying to make some girl. Who tells me baby better come back maybe next week because you see, I'm on losing streak."

Those are two great examples of why 

Politicians, 

Merchandisers, 

and 

Charitable Organizations 

 all look to 

Athletes, 

Musicians, 

and 

Actors 

to endorse their 

agenda, 

products, 

and 

causes. 

It is a proven method, 

as far as I know, 

since the 

Movies 
created 
Celebrities

back in 1888. 

Maybe even longer.

So, 

the next time you see 

Sarah McLachlan 

telling you it will only cost you a dollar a day to save a neglected dog, 

open up your wallet 

and 

"follow the crowd"

by giving

and giving

until you can't give no more.

P.S. 

Most 

Athletes, 

Musicians, 

and 

Actors 

don't give their money to these organizations. 

Their handlers tell them that by  

"giving their time"

to get you to give your money, 

that, 

in this way, 

they are giving back to society!

This is,

When I'm A Big Star I'll Be Giving Back By Putting All My Money In The Bank,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“For an entrepreneur: wealth invites fame. For a celebrity: fame invites wealth.” - Mokokoma Mokhonoana -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
