FREE PREVIEW
U.N. Enlists Internet Star for Antipoverty Pitch
By Suzanne Vranica
Word Count: 736 | Companies Featured in This Article: WPP Group
The United Nations is hoping a lonely girl can help it fight poverty. The U.N. has enlisted the star of hugely popular Web video series LonelyGirl15 and other Web video makers to participate in an ad campaign promoting an antipoverty event it plans Sunday. Jessica Lee Rose, the teenage actress who plays "Bree" in Lonelygirl15 videos posted on video-sharing Web site YouTube, will reprise the role that made her famous, sitting in a bedroom by herself, talking into a camera. But this time, rather than talking about a boy, "Bree" makes a plea for the antipoverty cause.

i've noticed two connections between Sonic Youth and F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby.

first, one of the most prominent images in the book is the green light, symbolizing the attainment of the American Dream (as well as one's personal goals). the lyrics to SY's song "Green Light" are:

I KNEEL BEFORE THE GREEN LIGHT OF HER
SINGING CRAYON EYES
AND THEN I KISS HER STOMACH AND IT’S THEN I REALIZE:
HER LIGHT IS THE NIGHT - I’M NOT BLIND -

I BELIEVE IN YOU
I SEE A GREEN LIGHT

the link is obvious to me. the female that Thurston is referring to is undoubtedly Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby devotes his entire life to fulfilling his goal of marrying Daisy and sees the green light at the end of her dock as a beacon of the future.

the second connection i've made between The Great Gatsby and a Sonic Youth song is a quote from the book, made by the character Tom Buchanan, that ends with "I love her all the time." that, too, is the name of a Sonic Youth song (also sung by Thurston):

SHE COMES INTO MY MIND
TWISTING THRU MY NERVES
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
A WORD SHE SAYS
SHE'S ON MY SIDE
I LOVE HER ALL THE TIME

Gotta give it up for youthoftomorrow, for making that connection.
