Here's a cute post from Amy Rigby's blog, mentioning Richard (and his
impeccable taste in stationery).

Cheers,

I have to laugh, I write a great deal myself and let
me tell you, nothing beats the old marble black/white
notebook. And they're usually a dollar when they're on
sale.  But I understand looking for the perfect
notebook to inspire you. I've been trying to find it
myself for years and keep coming back to old reliable.
Music related: Did anyone hear Antje Duvekot on the
Bank of America commercial? Quite a surprise to hear
that. I saw Ellis Paul yesterday, who gave an awesome
performance by the way, and he mentioned it too. 
Maybe we'll hear Richard next. Hmm, what song of his
would make a good commercial?  I never saw any
Kenworth commercials but I guess that would be a good
and obvious one!

I've always thought that Ellis missed a big opportunity by not pitching 
"3000 miles" to an oil change business.

I'm not finding a RS song that isn't a big stretch or is simply too 
niche to be highly profitable.

"Wisteria" for a nursery business.

"The Grocer's Broom" for Home Depot.

"Courier" for Army recruiting.

"Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" for John Edward's presidential campaign

Quoting john cliirigh <john@johncleirigh.com>:

niche to be highly profitable. <<

But Ellis' The world's not slowing down was in a Jim Carrey movie.

Have any of Richard's songs been in a movie?

Yep, great to hear Antje's "Merry Go Round" get some exposure!

As far as which Richard song would make a good commercial, well, list 
old-timers remember the wonderful parody of "Kenworth of my Dreams" by 
a list member whose name I sadly forget, but it's enough of a classic 
to trot out again:

THE KENMORE OF MY DREAMS

I sold my washing bucket
I sold my washing board
A friend said he would take me to
The big appliance store

I walked around until I found
The model I had seen
In the advertising supplement:
The Kenmore of my dreams

The salesman sang its praises
He said "I'll demonstrate..."
"This is Wash," he told us,
"This is Agitate"

We knew that there were cheaper ones
Without the famous names,
But I proudly put my money down
On the Kenmore of my dreams

Now sometimes, late at night when I can't sleep
I grab a pile of dirty clothes
No one sees, no one knows
I load it up and turn that Kenmore on

A lot of folks, they followed suit
Convinced, when they saw mine
They said using those old washboards
Just takes up too much time
To spend your life in drudgery
Can make you wanna scream
They thanked me and went out to buy
The Kenmores of their dreams

Now sometimes, late at night when we can't sleep
We grab piles of dirty clothes
No one sees, no one knows
We load 'em up and turn those Kenmores on

My laundry's looking pretty good
My clothes are mighty clean
I load socks and shirts and everything
I load my old blue jeans

So if your hamper's piled high
Just send it all to me
I'll wash anything, for anyone
In the Kenmore of my dreams
I'll wash anything, for anyone
In the Kenmore of my dreams...
