I must say I was a bit surprised to see it, especially after he just came out in the media trashing modern music technology...............atrocious............. I believe is the word he used.

[superbeatballer]

Isn't he a little young to be senile?

screw when he went electric, he sold out when he did an ipod commercial

{ipod dude}............. Hey Bob........want to endorse the ipod? Name your price......
{Bob Dylan}................. Yeah......... how bout$$$$$$$$$$$

I wish I could sell out too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd be shameless

[gummblefish]

What? nevermind doing countless other commercials. This isnt the first one he did for Apple either. Bob Was used in advertising very early on in his career, before he was popular in fact so i very much doubt hes selling out. Bob is his own man, what he chooses to do is his buisness. Anyone remember the deal he did with Starbucks?

[Warhead]

The same man is running around saying CD's sound horrible? Has he ever even heard an iPod???

War

[Brackish]

That pop filter looks too close to the mic.

[SRR]

Thats the pop filter that comes with the mic, or can buy seperately or whatever, I have read its not a very good pop filter.

haha i just noticed that xlr/ stand mount mix up. thats pretty bad. and good call on it being a baby bottle i didnt look to far in depth.

[mrT]

It must have been a lot of money... cause my guess is that Dylan doens't have to do a damn thing he doesn't want to.

It's not that great of a mic, and yes the pop filter is almost useless.

[Juggernaut]

Yup. Worthless pop filter, which is why I just use the technique of placing the mic at nose level to avoid most pops. But the mic is even more useless when not plugged in...

[c7sus]

Prolly the coolest thing old Bob could do would be hawking Jimmy Dean sausage.

Or Country Crock.

Bah... Dylan sold out a long time ago... Victoria's Secret ads, Starbucks recordings, Travelling Wilburys, hell - showing up to a folk festival in '65 with an electric guitar... (a big deal back then, and to some degree, now too...)

So am I a sellout. I go to work for the money?

[RAK]

Well I have Time Out of Mind, and Love and Theft, and now Modern Times as well, and I think it's a great album. Just saw the commercial last night in fact, and was a little surprised to see him doing it, but maybe he's embracing legal downloads to help discourage people from the illegal route (who knows). He is the most bootlegged artist of all time afterall.

I don't see how going electric at Newport has anything to do with selling out. (as a side-bragging-note, I got to work with Sam Lay, his drummer at Newport and on the Highway 61 sessions, that was cool stuff).

Not at all. But then, were you shaking your fist at the sky cuz it was raining? I like Dylan's music, and we all do things to make this stuff called money that is used in turn for goods and services.

However, when you are from the Kerouac generation and fought against everything that "The Man" stood for by song and lifestyle, there must be better ways to make said money.

Using music I grew up with to now sell life insurance to those of my generation hitting retirement, using toys that I grew up with to sell cars (ie, HotWheels Track and Honda)... it just seems to me that folks are "getting theirs" and hence doing what "The Man" was doing back in the day.

Dont get me wrong. Money is good. It allows me to enjoy things like a new mixer and mic. It just seems, to me (in my own perverse mind), that selling items for a multibillion dollar company when you used to fight against big corporations can be viewed as "selling out".

Kevin Smith once said that he would do anything to get a movie greenlighted. Kudos. He does what he does and I like it. Dylan does what he does and, while I like his music, it seems that he "sold out".
