| Focus Rock Group
The band Bon Jovi once created 30 test songs with professional songwriter Desmond Child. The tunes were performed for focus groups comprised of New York teens. After analyzing the research data, an album was sequenced, pressed, packaged and released to the public in 1986. So what was the album? Slippery When Wet, which featured the smash singles "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Livin' on a Prayer," and "Wanted Dead or Alive." Desmond Child went on to work with such artists as Aerosmith, Cher, Roxette, Chicago, Alice Cooper, and others. Bon Jovi, of course, has made a lot more albums. |

Lyon & Healy Musical Instruments
circa 1950
In the wonderful world of advertising you don't need things like exercise to lose weight, good aim to hunt or even musical talent and skill to play a musical instrumentas long as you've got the right product! You see, there exist products that are so good (apparently) that they can make you a master of something without talent, experience skill or intellect. Having a celebrity endorsement to help clinch the deal doesn't hurt either. |
