Bridging the Gen. Gap

Has anyone seen/heard the new Adidas (yes, the shoe, and yes, I know it's not 1995) campaign with all the really famous people partying with a bunch of average joes? Yea, it's alright. But what's particularly fun about it is the tunes! "Beggin'" is a song, written and recorded in the 1970's by Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. Some people aren't very fond of using old music to promote new ideas (ex: anytime a current music artist "samples" an old, excellent piece of music. Do any youngsters even know where Kanye got his genius for 'Stronger'? Anyone? Oh, Anywho...)
As a lover of (very) golden oldies, this happens to rock my world. If you haven't yet, check it out.
