John Lennon Pitching Citroën Cars
"She did not do it for money. Has to do w hoping to keep dad in public consciousness. No new LPs, so TV ad is exposure to young."
– tweeted Sean Lennon defending Yoko's decision to let Citroën use a great Lennon clip to sell cars.
You decide if this ad enhances the Lennon image or hurts it.

Really, I could care either way about the Beatles’ legacy, but can anyone claim with a straight face that any member of the Beatles is in danger of being forgotten about?
Not angry. It’s cool.
So the top selling musical moneymaker of all time is about to drop off the map? Totally, that makes sense. Desperate times for the Beatles these days.
It’s a fucking ad for cars. Nothing is going to change that fact and considering what John Lennon was doing in the last decade of his life I find it pretty impossible to Imagine he’d be cool with this.
hm, take notice what he actually says… very true
Ummm, the fab four started of fame seeking whores, not some kind of uber-strict art collective. They liked/like money and fame, and used their exposure to sell all kinds of shit. What’s the big deal about using Lennon to sell earth destroying autos? ffs they sell Lennon bobble heads. Moreover, dude was wife beating a-hole most of the time. why he was and is considered so great by the vast majority of Beatlemaniacs, and why time and revelations of his mostly despicable and pathetic character have not tarnished his reputation nor called into question his very dubious achievements.
We aren’t talking about using Gandhi to sell shitty cars.
