Maybe it’s ‘cause I’m from the Bay Area, but Hammer has been and always will be cool, and you can’t convince me otherwise. He’s making a comeback of sorts, I tell you. Check it out: He’s performing at one of the world’s premiere folk/bluegrass festivals!
You can’t make this stuff up.

Regardless of Hammer’s level of coolness, the commercial still sucks.

Hey, with the tattoo, I might be taking you too literally re: not understanding the concept, but it’s the Grateful Dead "Steal Your Face" logo. I have no idea of the history of it, but it’s all over the place with Deadheads. "Steal your face" is from a lyric from some song they do, as is "skimming through rays of violet," which is from Sugar Magnolia (I thought it was "streaming," but what do I know?). That’s the general idea – a true Deadhead could tell you a lot more about this, probably very slowly, while eating and constantly losing his train of thought.

Yeah, I’m familiar with the Dead logo. I’m just not sure I understand what the Brewers have to do with the Dead. Unless it was simply, "hey, I like the Brewers and the Dead, let’s combine the two!" But when someone implies that people might not understand the concept, then I’m foced to assume it’s more meaningful than that.

Gotcha – actually, it was probably the "hey, I like the Brewers and the Dead…" thing. The space in the top of the SYF where the lightning bolt is lends itself to all sorts of combinations (I went to school in Georgia, I saw it a few times with a peach).

My brother hired Hammer to do a promotional magazine ad for his company… it cost him $100 and lunch.
