Dylan cops out

God I hate to post this, but it was inevitable. Mr.Zimmerman became another pitchman.
I thought I'd heard snatches of his work in commercials before, but last night I saw a poopsie commercial w/him & some hip-hop dude doing "Forever Young".
All I can do is ask why? This song was reportedly written for his children. I sent the lyrics in a card to my youngest son on his 18th birthday.
Is Bob so poor that he has to sell his/our memories? Did his 401k loose all it's value? Is he being forclosed on? Did the IRS get him for back taxes and take everything? I Think NOT!!!
He's constantly touring and re-releasing cds, + all the online shwag his co. sells.
What's the deal Bob, did you feel left out of the greedy artists who haven't ripped loyal fans off w/ $400 seats, or done a nostalgia tour. Oh yeah, you're on one now, w/ the Dead and Willie.
I'm one of the old fans from the 60s who championed you for poet laureate and backed you electrification. I pre-bought your last couple of albums and own almost your entire catalog of music and videos.
I'M MAD AS HELL AND AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! THAT'S IT. I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING RELEASED BY MR. ZIMMERMAN, AND WILL SHARE WHAT I BOUGHT.
Thanks for listening to the rant, but I'm just tired of these aritist who we made rich, selling our memories for the power of gold. (thank you Dan Fogelberg)
Peace, Love, Smiles and balloons.
