I was looking for some other posts about eyesores in Knoxville and and found the Tennessee Trash Blog. Byron has posted this commercial on the entire site. It is a remake of the “Tennessee Trash” commercial that ran when I was a kid in the 70s.
The funniest thing about the orginal is how I was affected by it. I was only 4 or 5 years old, and didn’t really get the message of the PSA, but I really loved the commercial. I remember getting on my big wheel and loading myself down with garbage. Then I’d ride up and down the driveway throwing trash all over the place and singing the “Tennessee Trash” theme song.
It’s cool they have Ed Bruce singing this though. Check out this PSA!
