What makes a great commercial?

In praise of Delta Dawn, football, commercials and Tanya Tucker.

That's the voice of Tanya Tucker at just 13 Tucker had a smash hit album called Delta Dawn.

It's been playing on a loop in my head for a week along with images of football stadiums down south.

The campuses.

The monuments.

The mascots.. 

The slogans.

The players.

The fans. 

And all those triumphs and heartbreaks and music that they share.

It's the latest commercial by the Southeastern Conference proclaiming that sports, especially football, means more to them.

I believe them.

It's that “belief” that's core in a great commercial and just about every story.

To me every story is a relationship, between the storyteller and the audience 

Whatever reality is constructed has to have a foundation for both parties to share.

I don't always succeed but I'm better than most so are 

What do you think?

What commercials do you love? And why?
