Well played, Levi's.

Finally got to watch some tele this weekend. Saw this Walt Whitman poem on a Levi's commercial. Too tired to get into ideas of exploitation, reinvention, discovery of new art, the limits of appreciation within conspicuous consumerism, but... I liked the poem, and the recording.

America

Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,

All, all alike, endear'd, grown, ungrown, young or old,

Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,

Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,

A grand, sane, towering seated Mother,

Chair'd in the adamant of Time.
