Is it true Steve Earle sold rights to The Revolution Starts Now to Chevy?

[HardWorkingDem]

I heard this somewhere. Please tell me it's not true.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

1. No, it was Bob Seger,

and he gave the rights to "Like A Rock" to a union, and they rent it out to Chevy.

5. I did a Google search..

but didn't come up with anything definite...hope it is just a myth...

[alittlelark]

6. Yet another myth. ...................... sigh

7. No more absurd than Nike using "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."

[Autumn Colors]

8. Well the "revolution" song on Chevy truck

commercials that's currently on TV is "Teenage Rampage" by the 1970s group, Sweet. Part of the lyrics that I heard used in the ads:

"Come on, join the revolution, get yourself a constitution
Come on, join the revolution now"

[HardWorkingDem]

9. Maybe that is it then...

and people are mistaking the two....
