Volvo is on a roll and has upped the anti with its latest bit of stuntvertising. This latest stunt, which follows Volvo President Claes Nilsson standing atop a 32 ton truck suspended by a crane and a hamster driving a Volvo truck up a cliffside road, has Volvo technician Roland Svensson buried up to his head.

As he calmly shares the fact he’s been working on the high ground clearance suspension system of the new Volvo FMX truck, the FMX truck, which has 12 inches of ground clearance, speeds right over Svensson’s head which, we are told, stood 10 inches above the ground.

Psychology says the boomer men now entering their late 60s and 70s are carrying a specific kind of unhappiness that has almost no cultural language — they were raised to provide, protect and endure, and most of them did all three brilliantly, and the cruelest reward for a lifetime of quiet service is discovering that the role was the entire identity and without it there’s a man underneath who was never introduced to anyone including himself

Psychology says people over 60 who still play CDs aren’t resisting technology — they’re protecting a ritual that required intention and commitment and the act of holding an album and choosing it is a ceremony that streaming destroyed by making every song equally weightless and their refusal to let go is a refusal to let music become background noise in a life where too much is already disappearing
