Q: I am very curious about the music used on the current McDonald’s commercial featuring the mango/pineapple smoothies. It is a very catchy tune. Is it music that is available to everyone, or is it used just for the ads? Thanks for any help you can give me. – Eric, 45 Asheboro, N.C. A: According to a McDonald’s spokeswoman, this is original music scored for the commercial and its usage rights are for advertising only. So, no, you can’t buy it.

Q: Love “Flashpoint” and sorry CBS is letting it go (though I think they are nuts for doing so). Do you know when it is starting on Ion? – Mary Catherine, 48, Upper St. Clair, Pa.
