In our interview with Bob Dylan earlier this year, we asked the great man what he thought of climate change and he replied: “Where’s the global warming? It’s freezing here.” Lest you think Dylan was just being his normal contrarian self, we direct you to exhibit A: His new ad campaign for Cadillac’s latest Escalade SUV. In fairness: if climate change means that in the future we’ll all be driving jeeps in the desert wearing black Western duds, that’s kinda cool.

Oh, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
I’m a-goin’ back out ‘fore the rain starts a-fallin’,
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner’s face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’,
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.

lets be honest, the only good thing about this is the smog song.

Bob Dylan has had strange right-wing ideas for some time now. On his XM show the other day he called Alan Dershowitz a feisty civil libertarian.
His music, on the other hand, still rocks.

At least there was the potential for titties in the Victoria’s Secret add. I hope he plays in Sacramento again soon.
Maybe next he’ll do a Domino’s commercial with the Noid.

yeah so he’s been socially conscious before. he’s never come out as crazy for the earth or anything. what he does is up to him, his music will forever be way greater than anything any of you could come out with.

not cool, whatever happened to the Bob Dylan who had a sense of social justice? Its one thing to swtich music genres, but another to sell out to a massive coporation to shill a car most people can never buy.

Move over Madonna–the MASTER of Reinvention is comin’ on down the road.

He may be giving all his money away through phantom named foundations for all we know.
But Dylan would be the last to let anyone know.
Drive on, Bob. Wish I was riding shotgun.

hmmm… killer bees, cold war, smog, aids scare, atomic weapons, global cooling…. seems there will always be something to scare the masses and try to control us all. Glbal warming is not real.

Dylan is absolutely hilarious, and as cool as chocolate ice cream. Rock on!

Bob Dylan has been replaced by an alien pod person!

I don’t believe there are only 2 categories of people in this country. Indeed I find myself in a gray area between the referenced categories. It’s just a joke in light of the approaching election.
Matt S | 10/23/2007, 10:17 am EST
Kinda strange.

Bob knows about detours!

You people are jacka$$es.

There are only two because our media / government tells us there are only two. Why have more when it’s easier to control politics with fewer?
James | 10/22/2007, 5:09 pm EST
the comment below is halirious. Why is there only 2 categories of people in your country?
Musical Jenius | 10/22/2007, 4:38 pm EST
Bob Dylan’s a republican? What a piece of shit.
