I have heard a couple Fruitopia commercials on the radio here in Northern 
California, but I don't remember what if any music was playing in the 
background.  I tend to stop paying attention when commercials air.

In general, I am at the same time skeptical and disturbed regarding this Kate 
commerical news.  To my knowledge, she has never lent her talents to advertising
uses before, save for the Seiko watch ad in Japan, lo those many years ago.  I 
tend to like and admire musicians who are not commercial in either the popular 
sense or in their willingness to sell their talents advertising or commercial 
purposes. I like to place Kate at the top of that list (as well as many others).
 

My last word on this is that I'll listen more carefully the next time I hear a 
Fruitopia commercial.

Riding the push and pull of it all,
