Sir Stewart Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 and it did nothing to promote U2's new album.Don't be puttin' words in my mouth! I was just statin the facts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Picador Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I enjoy Bob Dylan's XM show - the Cadillac theme was pretty cool - I don't get what is wrong with a man promoting something he likes - I guess it aint cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have been tring to get through the Dylan interview book and many of them from the late 70s on are so boring it is beyond belief.I agree on this. He really is a pretty dry guy in a lot of those interviews. To me he comes across as more of an Oldsmobile Town Car kinda guy rather than a Caddy guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Man, the Cadillac one is depressing.Oh, please - the man does what he wants and I for one think this is pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think so, especially when considering that Bono didn't get a dime in his pocket for the iPod ad. Well, at least I am honest with myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thank hell they didn't use any of his music in this ad... With that in mind, it's sort of cool. I won't be buying a Cadillac because of Bobby's endorsement, but then again, I ain't find Jesus when he did either... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Dylan's XM show is The Shit. Man's one of the best DJs of all time.Only if he actually chooses his own music.I'm not sure he writes the script...he sounds like he is reading it.WTF are you talking about? I like the way you attack me for missing the letter U rather then the point I was tring to make. AKA your an idiot.I'm sick of hearing people get mad at others because they are being thinking enviormentally. GROW UP THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANET YOU CALL HOME!SighI recommend you start drinking heavily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skian Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Froggie - you beat me to it. I was going to add that little tidbit. Is Bob selling out? No.He is just cashing in alittle.Good for him. I think I'll end up buying a VW first, then the caddy when I grow a pencil-thin moustache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sureshot Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 The only thing weirder than Dylan in a Cadillac commercial is hearing (smog) as a backing track for a Cadillac commercial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H-Bomb Henry Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 With 4.00/gallon gas around the corner I doubt they will be selling real quick regardless of who the spokesperson is. This is just confusing to me...why would Cadillac even use Dylan as their guy. It's not like his fans are going to rush out and buy one. Was nice to see Dylan rollin on 21's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good Old Neon Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Selling away much of what is left of your credibility when your bank account is such that it would take several lifetimes to empty is, in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 This is just confusing to me...why would Cadillac even use Dylan as their guy. It's not like his fans are going to rush out and buy one. Cadillac are desperate to look hip and attract a new generation of buyers (I guess they have the 80yo's and now going after the boomers). They used Led Zeppelin's music in their ad campaigns the last several years. Dylan did start selling his songs for TV ads about 10 years ago...Bank Of Montreal. Then again, his song rights were owned by Michael Jackson, so I don't know who was behind that decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Wasn't Times They Are A'Changin used for the Microsoft Windows 95 launch? Microsoft released its landmark Windows 95 with a $300 million launch campaign -- including $12 million for the song "Start Me Up" from the even-then-ancient "Rolling Stones" -- but as Wednesday rolled around, Microsoft didn't even bother to put out a press release marking the anniversary Think Different was an advertising slogan created by the New York branch office of advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day for Apple Computer during the late 1990s. It was used in a famous television commercial and several print advertisements. The slogan was used at the end of several product commercials, until the advent of Apple's Switch ad campaign. Apple currently does not use the slogan, and their commercials usually end with a silhouetted Apple logo and sometimes a pertinent website address.The one-minute commercial featured black and white video footage of significant historical people of the past, including (in order) Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon, R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright, and Picasso. The commercial ends with a young girl opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
