San Diego Union-Tribune television critic Robert Laurence's observations on television

Bob Dylan and lingerie

There weren't any boots of Spanish leather, nor a leopard skin pill box hat, but that was Bob Dylan in a TV commercial for Victoria's Secret which ran Tuesday night during "American Idol."

And it wasn't a pretty sight.

Yes, there was Dylan's craggy visage right there in the middle of the clothes line saga, right with Victoria's young, leggy models.

Bad idea, Bob.

he looks like a gentleman of some years leering through a hole in the wall at the babes in their dressing room.

But this isn't all.

Bob's also licensed the title of his "Planet Waves" album as the name of an Italian wine.

Do you think he needs the money?

I know sex is supposed to sell. But sex with Bob Dylan? EEUUGH!

I think the add is a bit disturbing, I get the dirty old man vibe from it also. Jacob Dylan would have made it a good commercial. Not Grandpa Dylan!
