Putting Bob Dylan in a commercial with will.i.am is kinda like putting Michaelangelo in a commercial with the guy who drew a penis in the sidewalk outside my house
Awful, what is terrifying is that rather than refreshing the world, the 1st world creates more per capita pollution than any other country/empire/dictatorship in human history. The co-opting of the counterculture that naturally came into existence in the 60s and 70s due to the baby boom and it's creation of a number of people not yet inducted into the 1st worlds economic system and yet who were more educated than previous generations- by a company that basically privatizes water(which should be
You can't separate the song from the fact that this is a gratuitous ad for a corporate giant. Its feel good suggestion of peace and brotherhood, with the peace symbol prominently displayed, is a disingenuous cooption of the real peace movement. I've admired Dylan all my life but today he died.
Dylan's part is great, but, like everything, they have to fuck it up by adding some fucking rap. Didnt know they had affirmative action on commercials now.
@HatingTN Dude, I am not sure if you are aware of the message of the ad. Race has nothing to do with Will.i.am's presence. It is all about differences and commonalities between different generations. Using a rapping black guy only makes sense if you keep that in mind. Besides, Will did a very good job with that. I only wish that the ad was longer.
@lorddarkflare thanks dad. I dont care, Im sick of the "hip-hop influence" in, on and around everything. Enough already. Everything doesnt have to have a little bit of every culture in it. The Dylan version was fine.
Bob Dylan is obviously better and the original version of this song...
But i think that they just put Will I Am to compare him, for example the really old van to the new car, the lighters at the concert to the mobile phones, the old pepsi bottle at the end to the pepsi can, then Bob Dylan to Will I Am.
shut the fuck up! They make it seem like Will I Am is as famous as bob dylan. Excuse me? Bob Dylan was called the voice of his generation, and whether he agrees with it or not, I sure as hell don't think of Will I Am as the voice of ours. Then again who is?
God this generation sucks music-wise. There will never be another Bob Dylan. There's already like 8000 "Will I am"s
I have heard a similar version of "Forever Young" which Bob Dylan sings the whole song. It has the harmonica and is definitely more upbeat. I like it so much more than the original. Anyone know where to find that version?
In this case - I refuse to refresh the world :) !!! I find the good side of this commercial,too,but it is just absurd to make such a comparison! At least they should have chosen some other guy,that is on Dylan's level( although no one is ;p ), not this Black Eyed Pie gay :))) Thank you!
@HYPONEX73 thank you finally someone said it, im sure the generation before the 60's and 70's thought they were ruining the world too, we just do things our own way
i have to disagree, im am a big bob dylan fan, and i personally see this as a good thing, it shows that the artist of today still have respect for the artist of the past, you sir are an asshole
If you look past the r&b/hip-hop/rap music of this generation there are many many artists who deserve more popularity than people singing about drugz and killing people
@allyouneedispaul That's the whole point of folk, hence the joke "How many folk singers does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to change it, the other to sing about how the old one was better."
@allyouneedispaul Perhaps with time we become nostalgic for the times that was and seem too be better but if we don't keep our hopes up that's wen the sadness gets us but that's just me.Oh and i love this video too.
Compared AND CONTRASTED with Bob Dylan. But who else would they use? will i am used to hang out with Michael Jackson in Ireland and record beats and stuff. If "the greatest entertainer of all time" chose will i am to work with him, he's good enough to sit next to good ol' Bob in a Superbowl ad.
Texting I find annoying and dangerous I see many 21 century dumb ass teens texting while driving.
The 3D gimmick has replaced story and character in many B animated movies that have come out recently
Yes there are some really talented artists that are hammered by main stream shit like Will I Am who in the commercial is supposed to represent our generations taste in music, that matter just pisses me off
@LazyCritic08 You're the same age as me and all you're doing is bitching about kids.... C'mon dude.
MY GENERATION is the best ever. We had Thundercats, Voltron, The Simpsons, Ren and Stimpy, Beavis and Butthead, Seinfeld, Roseanne, Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, There Will be Blood, LoTR, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Tupac AND Biggie, HDtv, every game console ever, Smartphones, THE INTERNET.... ETC
what is the world coming to. whoever thought this up has no fucking morals. I just hope that bob dylan didnt licence this and they did it through a publishing company. bob dylan in a pepsi ad? if media, in all its forms, is a scale, bob dylan and commercials are at opposite fuckin ends of it.
this was one of my favorites this year. It does such a good job of showing how much america has changed, and how we can all feel like kids when we drink pop:)
