Daniels goes the way of the gecko

Monday, December 28, 2009 – The gecko and Charlie Daniels now have a lot in common.

Starting today Daniels will be part of a Geico insurance television commercial.

Geico is launching four TV spots as part of a new campaign, called "Rhetorical Questions." The new creative joins their on-air rotation as the fifth current storyline, in addition to the Gecko, Cavemen, "Talking Accidents" and googly-eyed "Kash."

Each spot begins with an investigative reporter-type host, played by Mike McGlone (from "The Brothers McMullen," asking the question: "Could switching to Geico really save you 15 percent or more on car insurance?"

The questions then include,

"Is Ed "Too Tall" Jones too tall?"

"Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?"

"Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter R?"

"Did The Waltons take way too long to say goodnight?"

The apparent answer is yes.

CD review - Preachin', Prayin', Singin' DVD Charlie Daniels has his Southern rock personality (exemplified by The Devil Went Down To Georgia) and he also has his spiritual side (as he's known to join Billy Graham crusades now and again). But when the fiddler/guitarist first arrived in Nashville, he befriended folks like banjo great, Earl Scruggs, and his two sons, Gary and Randy. These three players appear with Daniels during this mainly bluegrass set, along with Del McCoury, The Whites and Mac Wiseman. Bluegrass gospel songs make up ...
