History Highlight:

Today in 1987, the surviving members of The Beatles and Yoko Ono sued Nike and Capitol Records over the use of "Revolution" in a sneaker commercial. Yoko was eventually won over, and said, "John's songs should not be part of a cult of glorified martyrdom. They should be enjoyed by kids today. This ad is a way to communicate John's song to them, to make it a part of their lives instead of a relic of the distance past."
