j45nick Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm surrounded by heathens. Well, ZW, the weren't from NY. The Tappan Zee was the route we used to take around NYC when you were afraid your VW bug would break down on the Cross Bronx, and be reduced to a gutted hulk 15 minutes after you left it to look for help.....

duluthdan Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 His guitar looked more like an L-20 to me. At about 17 seconds there is a quick look at the upper side - kind of looks like barn door electronics? You may be right, overall it looks to be smaller bodied than an SJ, and Mr. Dylan is kind of a little guy. Big legend, but a small guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stringTom Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I just heard the Chobani yogurt ad with "I Want You" in the soundtrack. I guess Bob cares about good nutrition, too. Seriously, though, I don't much care if he makes commercials. However, I've never bought the "song and dance man" pose. The guy who wrote "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol" and "The Ballad of Emmitt Till" was not just a song and dance man. And, has anyone seen Bob Dylan dance?

Yes, last time I saw him he decided to ditch the guitar and piano in favour of busting some moves centre stage - which goes to show you never quite know what to expect from Bob Dylan. He looked like Charlie Chaplin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMELEYE Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 DD, you won't find block inlays on an SJ. Also notice the bound fingerboard. Will check for the electronics. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 First of all, does anyone think Bob dylan gives a monkeys what a bunch of folk on a guitar form think? Course not... he's cast off that voice of a generation stuff since it happened, turned his back on the folkies etc... essentially he's a contradictory man, it's as simple as that... the real hypocrisy is not in him 'selling out' is in the criticism of him for making money from within a country that is obsessed about making money more than it is anything else. As someone said ealier "it's the American way" and it is, he's basically plying his wares for money and taking loads of free publicity for himself on top. The only people precious about music are the ones not making any... while we may extol a whole range of meanings and values to it, it is essentially a commodity, bands fund themselves by 'selling out' every night... and I bet one whiff of a pay-day and all of you would do the same.

Yggdrasil Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think Id prefer if Germans made both the beer and the car.. Actually, leave the beer making to the Czechs. "Czech" beer is a German beer - the Czechs just kept the breweries after the German Sudetenland population was moved out post-1945. Plzen = Pilsen; Budějovice = Budweis. And as good as the beers made in the Czech Republic are, the country has nothing like the astonishing variety of quality brews found in Deutschland ( or Belgium for that matter). The Dylan ad missed the mark here as well though - the USA has seen a resurgence in craft breweries - while large breweries (including, ironically Budweiser) sell less, craft breweries have grown from virtually nil to about 2500 in the last 20 years.

There are some good'uns out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wouldn't an even better debate be how many folk jump on the music of someone as soon as they've karked it? Nobody's heard of/spoken of/listened to Pete Seeger for donkeys years, now he's fitted out for a pine dufflecoat everybody's a #1 fan. Including Chris Evans. He played Turn, Turn, Turn on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show last week. It brought back memories of all those times when he and his hilarious sidekick Wiiiiill had old Pete on playing the alcohol-themed adaptation of If I Had a Hammer, 'If I Could Get Hammered', on TFI Friday. Come to think of it, Wiiill often wore a duffel coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojorule Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Bob Dylan in a Chryler ad was fun to see. "Things Have Changed" as the background music, and a Gibson Southern Jumbo makes a couple quick appearances . http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KlSn8Isv-3M Isn't it his new signature SJ200?

Mojorule Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have to say, I found the ad a bit surreal. I had no illusions as to whether or not Bob was for sale but car salesman seemed a bit of a stretch. A real stretch would have been Bob advertising a limo.

ParlourMan Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Doesn't look like an Souther Jumbo, nor an SJ-200 to me, looks like it's smaller. Has a different headstock from a Keb Mo also, so I think it's some sort of Nick Lucas type model… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 And, has anyone seen Bob Dylan dance? I have - 33 years back around Saved. The good Bob sat down the black Strat he was playing at the time and went into some kind of corny show-dance including rather cühl - yet not fully controlled - moves with pointing finger-patterns. As I recall it there were female singers on stage in the period and he might have interacted a bit with them - not in any direct conventional man to woman ritual tho. He wore shades and maybe therefore managed to get out of the stunt alive. Saw him later that same summer in Southern France - where it didn't happen. For those who do not know - the artist from there on began to lose spirit, , , , drained by rock'n'roll life, too many gigs and the reality of the 80's. Saw him more than a handful of times after that and he was spiraling down in flames. NOT a nice sight, , , or sound. Untill 1998 when he suddenly - after gettin' over a serous illness - surprised by being together, , , , and extraordinary good. Further from there he stayed okay - still inconsístant like don't know what. Take it or leave it - I was there 1981 - the exact funky-dance-concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Actually there are over 150 breweries in the Czech Republic, so Im not really sure where youre getting your 'lack of variety' assumption. Plus, if you looked on the map you would notice Plzen and Budejovice are both in southern czech republic, while German Sudetenland was a part from the north .... in other words, I think you've got no idea what youre talking about. Having said that, I do love German brews also. "Czech" beer is a German beer - the Czechs just kept the breweries after the German Sudetenland population was moved out post-1945.
