actually, history makes sense.

Here's an even more amazing "Bob Dylan" video by an even bigger YouTube sensation....

Astonishing...

(once I got it to load correctly...)

I enjoyed the cartoon channel.

wow

Brilliant.

Very cool.

I like it too! There is a Gimme shelter poster behind the two guys with the headphones on in a radio station studio I suppose.

ROCKMAN

Quick, what do Danny Brown, "The Price is Right" host Drew Carey, comedian Marc Maron and the Property Brothers have in common? Well, nothing, except they all appear in the new interactive video for rock icon Bob Dylan's classic "Like a Rolling Stone."

In case you don't have time to click through all the hidden greatness, here's a breakdown of the pop culture references in the video:

» Drew Carey — "The Price is Right" host Carey just carries on doing his host thing, singing the song's lyrics as he ushers contestants in and out of games and letting one, Bill, take the mic while spins the big wheel for cash and prizes.

» Marc Maron — On the WTFC network, the acerbic comedian turns his famed podcast into a karaoke tirade against his smiling guest, who sits uncomfortably as Maron states, "You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal."

» Sports Time — Real ESPN host Steve Levy anchors the fake ESPN's Pan-Asia tennis tournament coverage, offering his expert commentary on the match between Diovesky and Plotnivich.

» TTC — The phony reality "Real Housewives"-style show, "Bachelor's Roses" finds some finger-waving divas acting out the song's lyrics.

» Property Brothers — How ironic that Drew and twin brother Jonathan are trying to sell a couple on a house with $4,000 countertops to a song with a lyric about how, "Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street."

» Music Classics 1 — With a logo not unlike VH1 Classic, this station just plays some vintage footage of Dylan singing the song back in the late 1960s.

» Music 1 Bass — Rapper Danny Brown rolls down the street chowing on a series of lunches as he recites the lyrics about "scrounging for your next meal," chomping into a sandwich during the song's iconic harmonica fade out.

» Pawn stars — Rick Harrison and Chumlee take a look at some vintage guitars as Dylan strums in the background.

» Channel 130: Girl Code — The girls of 'Girl Code' make an appearance on 'LookTV', which is cool, but not nearly as hilarious as 'Girl Code', of course.

Awesome.

crap

Great idea, but don't like it. I don't like one of the most iconic songs ever written being overlayed on top of crappy American television. It would have been far more powerful if they used worldwide politicians, activists, and other more significant cultural figures other than Pawn Shop and Price is Right.

"crap"? did you boo when he went electric, too?

Wow- so i guess people aren't entitled to their opinions anymore, huh? No - it's not a joke- I think it's absolutely brilliant. Just my opinion. Tell you what - I'll write you next time beforehand and clear it with you, ok? Because obviously your word matters more than mine.

(and from what i heard from the production team- Dylan himself was suitably impressed. But let me guess- he has no taste, right? This may not be to everybody's taste- but to dismiss it with single word pissing seems, i dunno, kind of weak. The amount of work that went into it, the inventiveness, the uniqueness - seems worthy of at least some appreciation. but whatever.

Hmm, someone has thin skin.

1. I SERIOUSLY thought you were joking
2. I think it is awful
3. So..we disagree.

If you thought i was joking, that i would create a thread strictly out of sarcasm, then all I can say is, I think it's a pretty clueless observation of yours.

It's just a disagreement of no major consequence.

Personally, I do not like the Video because that song is a classic and above a parody. Yes ,Bob Dylan was a guest on Pawn Stars but that has absolutely nothing to do with the original intent. The video is nothing magical from a technological standpoint and seems awkward at best.

I do appreciate others' favorability towards the video.

I checked it out and I don't get it. Or maybe it doesn't work on my pc as it should. All I see is scenes from movies, tv shows etc. with people mouthing/playback to the lyrics of the song.
And yes, the in your post made me believe as well that you were joking.

Judge, I rest my case. (If anything it denigrates the song)

Yep... can't believe Mr Dylan put his name to it ...
