How many roads must a man drive down before you can call him The Man? The answer my friends, is one road, if that road is driven down in a gas-guzzling Cadillac Escalade.
Bob Dylan the "countercultural icon" - note the extremely sarcastic quotation marks - has sold out so many times that you'd think nothing would be shocking anymore. He's gone electric, he's gone Christian, he released a live album exclusively at Starbucks. He's even written a song for a movie starring Katie Holmes.
But none of that bothers me. It's the year 2007. Who cares? He's a maverick! He's Dylan!
His latest act of judas-ery, however, is too much for even a cynical, consumerist nihilist like me. Why on earth would someone who possesses the intelligence of Dylan shill for the Cadillac Escalade? Has he not heard that the climes, they are a-changing? I understand the ads are a tie-in with his XM radio show, but SUVs - especially luxury SUVs - are repugnant vehicles.

Steve Vai shred satire
This goes out to Senor Ding Dong... btw, Youtube took down an FOT post of mine from the summer in which someone overdubbed an Yngwie Malmsteen guitar lesson in which he states Ï am your God leetle boys! Still searching for it, then I will repost!
