This Amazon commercial and long time friends toboggin.....the best part was....

Music. "In My Life" Beatles, Rubber Sole , ABC MNF - Howard Cosell informed us of John Lennon's assassination and they played this song. If you heard this live.......major WTF moment in my life....and he was not a big influence in my life. Right song for the saddest moment. Great marketing for Amazon, I guess.

But their commercials are awesome and inspiring. I guess I’m an outlier. Way too many buttons to push to make an order for an old guy WHO CAN AFFORD STUFF. the first time a potential buyer says NO to an offer should be enough. The next offer is CUE FOR ME TO END THE TRANSACTION. Get my drift bezos.

And try and top Chevrolets Alzheimer’s commercial. Amazing the commercials using old people and old people’s music to make billions.

Did you notice you didn't see them getting in or out? Which certainly would have been more dangerous.
