is composing the music for a series of advertisments necessarily an
endorsement? if KaTe bebopped across the tv screen toting a bottle of
fruitopia and spouting off about its greatness, i would not question
your choice of words. however, she merely composed the music (great
though it is) and is not in any way associated with the product in the
minds of the average consumer (love-hounds are *not* average
consumers).

>I hope it wasn't the money, which must have been considerable. 

who can say? the money certainly could not be unattractive and KaTe
is not unaware of the economics of her situation (750,000 pounds
spent on housing nonewithstanding). perhaps a friend invovled in the
advertising program asked her to write the music? perhaps a fan at
the advertising agency did the same? however, you can not rule out
the money.
