I think it's a proud testament to Bob's staying power that this thread has reached 300 posts... :-)

I´ve seen it (the commercial) from the Pyrenees, (Basque Country, Europe).. and must say that there´s nothing about "pedophile pervs"... that sounds absolutely priest-wannabe.
When I was 19 i was.... normal. Didn´t live in Winnie The Pooh's world.
Well, maybe it´s because i´m not a republican guy from Texas, or maybe it´s because i do prefer good real music on tv commercials (with good sense of humour) than watching telepreachers :-D

Well Done, Bob! it´s much more insane to sell guns! pants and thongs must be pretty things for God, Allah, Budda and Elvis!!

Only 2500 more posts or so to go to equal that "Mother" thread.

Sorry, euro fan Guest, republican guy from Texas thought the commercial was no big deal, too.

Good idea Strick - Hey, the possibilities now seem endless. Though I think KNOCKIN' may do better for Century21 (but with the disclaimer "don't go mistaking paradise for that home across the road")...

Here's mine; for a Vegas Vacation ad...with a twist (pun intended).

WITH YOUR hotel SHEETS LIKE METAL,
AND YOUR BELTs (free drinks & much, much more!!!) LIKE LACE...
AND YOUR DECK OF CARDS,
MISSING THE JACK AND THE ACE...

*Vegas spokesperson cuts in "just kidding, just kidding!!!"

AND YOUR bargain BASEMENT CLOTHES,
AND YOUR HOLLOW FACE...

*pan to Dylan's sly smile - a 'you really are going to lose ya know' creepy leer...

WHO AMONG THEM, COULD THINK..........

*finally, pan to a group of friendly pit bosses and blackjack dealers smiling and waving to everyone.

THEY COULD OUTGUESS YOU???...

I believe Dylan could have a big future ahead of him. He could rise to the realm of the Rat Pack... But I hope not.

Love sick.... Unfortunately, I think it is so. God how that line blew me away. I'd gone out and bought the album(CD)in a depressed haze - desperately hoping for some kind of inspiration - but when I heard that, well he just summed-up, in one fowl swoop, how I'd been feeling for a good while but couldn't come close to verbalizing. Before hearing it I'd thought it was just me...unspeakable and uncommunicatable. It takes a fearless person to lay it all out like he does. After listening to the album though, I felt even worse and thereafter I'd only play it when I was dead drunk and therefore brave enough. Now I don't drink and I don't listen to it. It's too negative. But what a line.

Pedro.

I hope someone else posts - I'm not trying to be the last. I don't want to be - Little Hawk. Are you there. Want the honors?

Yeah, I'm here. I'm always one or two steps to the left when Bob is around...

He has said himself that he never listens to his recordings, and that they are just like a snapshot. They're a collection of musical moments that happened on one day or one several days. Every time you play the song it's different.

"Time Out of Mind" was a pretty heavy album, but it was just a momentary snapshot, not an all-time admission of despair.

You want some inspiration, read the amazing interview with Bob in the L.A. Times recently, on this thread...

I didn't say I was looking for something inspiring Little Hawk. I was acknowledging the line and then talking about something that happened when the album was released years ago... although, now I wish I hadn't. And any idiot that listens understands what the song's about. He's not feeling good at the time - it's not something different everytime either. That's for HWY61 period stuff. Maybe you should read the artical a little closer. This is no snap-shot (unless you always think in terms of eons). These are period songs. They brew for a long time. He hasn't wipping out songs left and right then as now. Look at the duration between releases.

The reason I asked you if you wanted the honors, that was a joke - because of your last submitters thread. I was kidding.

The article is interesting but I can't see how you'd find it inspiring. It is straight forward - Dylan's world according to Dylan. He's a bit callous in one place, pompous in another, but overall it shows the man has a lot of modesty too. The meditation bit I found almost hilarious – he's still a good jester - I think he put one over the interviewer. It is a good piece. That's all...

Love Sick – everyone has something to prove – it is a competitive existence. We can't help it. It's in our genes. We are all fools in that respect.

OK, I can't resist. It's a Dylan quote fest!!!

He's "filled you with self-confidence, after poisoning you with words"

Ain't this nice (nice and stupid)?????

*But I like you and I have a lot of respect for you too (my own line) - I know its not as good as Dylan could say it. But we can't All

Forget about that link. It's useless. Instead, invest in penguins. Do it now! Penguins can only go up. Trust me on this.
