Commie Commercial #82 & 12 (Take 4)
I am sick of commercials popping up everywhere so I wrote this song against commercials, telling people these advertisements were Communist!
Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started.
Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site;

With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.
Story behind the song
I am getting very sick of commercials popping up on Youtube & everywhere and I wrote this song against commercials and telling everyone these advertisements were Communist!
Although I did mono recordings in 2022 this is the 1st of the multi-track recordings started in December of 2023. I did 5 takes and this is Take 4.
The chords were written October 9 & 10, 2022 but the lyrics are rather older.
