Kawaja's Mad Avenue Blues

We'll have to post some notes about the more serious aspects of the Digital Media Summit put on by GCA Savvian at The Westin New York at Times Square this Tuesday. ContextWeb's CEO Anand Subramanian presented on a panel moderated by the esteemed R2 - Randall Rothenberg of the IAB on ad targeting.
But we would be remiss if we did not direct your attention to banker to the Internet stars and final cut pro maniac Terry Kawaja's international debut of his "Mad Ave Blues" video. Anyone that has had a super serious meeting with Kawaja knows - no matter how weighty the topic - we all watch the latest video first.
It speaks for itself and will make you smile:
How Kawaja describes the video:
Following on the success of the Wall Street Meltdown parodies, I wrote Mad Avenue Blues. Like Wall Street Meltdown and WSM Redux (both on YouTube), the new video takes a popular song and substitutes industry-specific lyrics. Only instead of finance, Mad Avenue Blues is about the media/advertising world and the impact to the traditional models brought about by the accelerating migration to digital.
Sung to Don McLean's "American Pie", this 19 stanza song was written and produced in just one day. I did this so that I could answer those who respond to my video projects with the knee-jerk "you obviously have too much time on your hands".
Mad Avenue Blues was produced for non-commercial amusement purposes only and is not intended to offend any people or companies appearing in the video. All images were found on the internet and are the property of their rights owners.
