See Bruce Springsteen’s First Ever Commercial, for Jeep, A Two and a Half Minute Soliloquy, No Song

Share

Bruce Springsteen’s first ever commercial for a product is for Jeep. It lasts two and a half minutes and has no song. It’s called “The Middle,” and it’s shot in Kansas in the direct center of the country. The commercial is a spoken word soliloquy about everyone putting aside their differences. Interesting that Bruce didn’t wind up licensing a song but just himself. Very clever.
