1. Okay, I can see him buying a Caddy

But this shilling is a whole different matter

[graywarrior]

2. It's so him, going against the grain like that

[rug]

3. I guess Lee Iacoca will play him in the last scene of the new movie.

[graywarrior]

4. At least it's not a Hummer.

[meegbear]

5. But it's got a great riiiiiiiide

[mulsh]

6. Dylan's just upgraded from that Buick 8

From A Buick 6 lyrics

I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid
But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid
She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bred
Well, if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

Well, when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge
I'm cracked up on the highway and on the water's edge
She comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with thread
Well, if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

Well, she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much
She walks like Bo Diddley and she don't need no crutch
She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead
Well, if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

Well, you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
I need a dump truck baby to unload my head
She brings me everything and more, and just like I said
Well, if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

7. He always was such a fake.

:sarcasm:

:rofl:

[JitterbugPerfume]

8. I DO NOT CARE

he is still the best of the best

[graywarrior]

11. I love him, too. No matter what.

He knows it.

[SteppingRazor]

9. I know what to say. He's Bob fucking Dylan and he can do whatever the fuck he wants. n/t

[speedoo]

12. Exactly.

Last night I listened to Blood on the tracks again. It's a fucking masterpiece. A few nights ago it was Planet Waves. Before that it was John Wesley Harding. Etc. Etc.

It's his music and it's without parallel.

[graywarrior]

13. Hey! ! ! ! !

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[speedoo]

14. Hey, YOU!!!

Good to see ya... :hi::hi::hi::hi:

How ya doin?

[graywarrior]

15. Not bad.

Seen Bob lately?

[speedoo]

16. Sept. 30 in Bridgeport, CT.

Great show. Amos Lee opened, very good, best band nobody's heard of. Then Elvis Costello did a very entertaining solo set. Then Bob and his band .... they were very good.

A great night!

[graywarrior]

17. An orgy.

You must be spent.

[speedoo]

20. Yeah. that's what all the women tell me.

One of these days I'll start acting my age.

[graywarrior]

21. Yeah, sure you will.

[speedoo]

22. So you're skeptical, huh?

[graywarrior]

23. No, eternally depressed.

[speedoo]

24. Whever I get depressed, I play some Dylan.

[graywarrior]

25. He's a cheerer upper for sure.

And a snappy dresser.

[speedoo]

27. Yeah, he's a playful bugger.

[graywarrior]

30. And a chameleon

[speedoo]

31. Yeah... is that why he's always fighting off women?

[graywarrior]

32. Well, in addition to his writing ability it could have something to do with

[speedoo]

33. Wow... an amazing photo.

One of the very few where you can actually see his eyes. But it looks photoshopped, maybe?

[graywarrior]

34. The lip gloss! ! ! !

Yipes!

[speedoo]

35. I dunno about the lips...

but those are the bluest eyes I have ever seen. If I ever spent a few minutes with a woman who had eyes like that, I'd be a goner.

[graywarrior]

36. I read somewhere that women fell for his blue eyes before his other whatevers.

[DS1]

10. It's time for the next generation to start railing against this shit

Bob knows he's part of the problem now, might as well live it and earn some more money.

[SteppingRazor]

18. Why should they (we)? Selling out is a dated concept.

Getting your music in an ad means getting it heard by thousands of people that wouldn't otherwise hear it. Just because you're an artist doesn't mean you should starve.

Now, if your music is in an ad for, say, Blackwater, you might have a point.

[JVS]

19. He's like Krusty the Klown now!

:-)

[AlCzervik]

26. i'm just going to say it---

i am not a Dylan fan so this ad doesn't bother me either way. I like some of the songs he's written that other people have sung, when he sings them--no.

[JVS]

28. I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Not a fan.

But selling out is selling out, and I think those are some elaborate acrobatics that his defenders go through when they say "by selling out bob is actually doing the most rebellious thing possible" Yeah I get that he's surprising and shocking some people, but he could do that by crapping his pants or something and that wouldn't make it impressive or admirable either.

29. "Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything."

Bob Dylan

[Burma Jones]

37. Cadillac sponsors his show on XM, I think this was some sort of crossover

and he presents a very very fine radio show.

He's in the Cadillac Demographic nowadays.......and, at least Union guys build Caddies......
