Cingular is changing name to AT&T- it was kind of prophesized 21 years ago

Reflecting AT&T's purchase of Cingular Wireless (originally owned by SBC and BellSouth, now each part of AT&T), the rebranding of Cingular Wireless to AT&T formally begins today. Grace Slick drew generic reference to this song in the Jefferson Starship's 1985 hit, "We Built This City on Rock and Roll.

Reflecting AT&T's purchase of Cingular Wireless (originally owned by SBC and BellSouth, now each part of AT&T), the rebranding of Cingular Wireless to AT&T formally begins today. 

Grace Slick drew generic reference to this song in the Jefferson Starship's 1985 hit, "We Built This City on Rock and Roll." Was on "Knee Deep In The Hoopla," a title that also applies today,

But here are the two lines that get me: 

"Someone's always playing corporation games

"Who cares they're always changing corporation names"

As an aside, Grace Slick is now 67 years old. Imagine that.
