Lennon Citroën ad – original audio
Written by admin on March 6, 2010 – 11:06 pm -The appearance of John Lennon in a commercial for the Citroën DS-3 car has caused some predictable controversy, with some offended by Lennon being used to endorse a product from beyond the grave.
 |
The Citroën DS-3 is being promoted with the slogan “Anti Retro.” In keeping with this, footage is shown of Lennon criticizing people’s nostalgia for the 1960s and 70s. He says “Once a thing’s been done it’s been done. Looking backwards for inspiration, copying the past – how is that rock ’n’ roll? Do something of your own. Start something new. Live your life now. Know what I mean?” |

Tales from a rock ‘n’ roll life – Robert Hilburn
Written by admin on February 16, 2010 – 11:19 am -| Thanks to likethebike of the FECC forum for his permission to post this review. |
| Stopped into Barnes and Noble tonight and noticed Robert Hilburn, the famous rock critic, had written a memoir, “Corn Flakes With John Lennon: and Other Tales from a Rock n’ Roll Life.” Being that I know Hilburn has written often and very well of Elvis in the past, I figured there would be some Elvis content. I was very surprised to find though that Elvis in spirit and flesh is a major player in the book. |
