Too Bad I Don't Wear Jeans
I don't know about you, but I think the latest Levi's ad campaign is pretty beautiful.
Actually, the commercial uses a recording believed to be Whitman reading the opening lines of his poem "America" in 1890. You can find it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Walt_Whitman_-_America.ogg
I don't know about beautiful, but the half-submerged image is certainly true.

ReplyDeletePretty cool, I agree. I've heard people say that the wax cylinder recording used may be Whitman himself...
ReplyDeleteWhitman died in 1892. Seems pretty unlikely it was him.
