QA&A: Jared Leto reflects on 'America,' apps and creativity
Posted in: Uncategorized
Cowgirl, Doggy, Face, Sixty-Nine and The Crab. These five popular sex positions, according to AskMen, are the words that are listed on one of the multiple covers of the new album, “America,” from Jared Leto’s band Thirty Seconds to Mars.
They’re provocative words, and a provocative title, for the band’s first album in five years, especially during these times of political divisiveness and cultural upheaval. To promote the album, which dropped last week, Letowho got his start playing the teen heartthrob, Jordan Catalano, in “My So-Called Life”helped design the covers, which list various “American things,” says Leto, meant to serve as a time capsule of sorts.
There’s a list highlighting the most profitable prescription drugs by sale (Humira, Abilify, Sovaldi and Crestor) and another citing the most valuable trademarks (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Walmart and IBM). There’s also one calling out four of the hot topics in America (A.I., bitcoin, fake news and, of course, Russia).
