Paul looks stoned.

... Ringo look pissed off


And we laugh.

LOL.

Mumford & Sons is one of the few bands I would pay good money to see... and that list is shortened by the fact that some of them simply can't tour with the proper lineup (Pink Floyd, the Beatles), others likely would never (classic Genesis with Gabriel, among the few single acts I would see)... Some I might see only if they were part of a larger festival, but these guys I would see on their own... if the unique combo of time, money and location ever came together.

Discovered them here on the Sift a couple years ago when The Cave was first posted and have been a fan ever since. So thank you Sift.

Wow. WOW! Can I give you a NON-GAY-FOR-THEM love letter, to pass on to them?

Have to upvote - I know the bango player!


No sorry I am under strictest instructions to only pass on gay love letters...

Interesting, @aurens.

Hey, I'm inspired by a number of great artists and thinkers. The Beatles are my all time favourite band, and I'd love to be in some way linked with the incredible art they produced. But to then associate a product I am selling with that art and their legacy is truly contemptible to me. You may not think of what you do as making and selling boxes, but you do sell a fucking box. You're not John fucking Lennon! That fact seems to be lost on marketers, who seem able to convince themselves that things are whatever names and attributes we give them. Truth is an illusion to them, where I think of it more as a goal.

It's funny you should pick out Gandhi and Lennon. Steve Jobs took an influential trip to India in 1974 (one which affected his life outlook in lots of ways, and one for which Gandhi, I would imagine, serves as an emblematic figure), and he was a big fan of The Beatles, both musically and organizationally: "My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts."

I totally dig your point, generally applied; lots of ads strike me as disingenuous and (emotionally) opportunistic. I like this particular ad, though. To me it comes off, at least in part, as more of a personal (and genuine) homage to some of the people who inspired Steve Jobs at various points in his life.>> ^kymbos:

This captures beautifully what fills me with fear and loathing for people who invest their lives in marketing. Fucking Ghandi, brought to you by Apple? It makes me sick to my stomach, the gall of it. John Lennon, for fuck's sakes. Have you no shame?
And yet I know how many clever, intelligent, morally bewildering people spend their lives trying to make me feel something for companies, and probably succeed against my best intentions.

Wow, that is a pretty amazing piece of musical history to have in your memory! My first concert was Garbage when I was 13, haha.. Now we're both showing our ages!

The first live concert I attended was the Beatles. Maybe heard four notes because of all the screaming [I couldn't speak for a week .. heehee] =o)

I think those of every age group enjoy the Beatles music. So great to see this video.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I agree. I often feel that.>> ^kymbos:

Covers of Beatles songs always remind me of how awesome Beatles songs are.
