... every time it plays. The song's meaning, band... it seems inappropriate. I don't know the publishing or commercial rights, but they can be complicated. It's possible Grace had no veto and/or the band members get no residual. It may all depend on their contracts from long ago... On Facebook, Grace is as we'd expect... same counterculture attitude. The ad doesn't match her outlook. I've seen people comment and ask, but never see any replies or denials.
