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?” |
