Bob Dylan "Love Sick"

In writing all these Dylan related posts this week, I've come across all kinds of weird Dylan ephemera (see the last two posts). But certainly, among the weirdest juxtapositions of Dylan's career, is this Victoria Secret commercial he appears in, with "Love Sick" playing in the background.

I think I explored "Dylan as sex symbol" on Friday, so this just continues my confoundation.

Okay, after a week-plus, I think that's enough Dylan for now from me . . . but for more Dylan weirdness, see The AV Club.

William Shatner "Mr Tambourine Man"

Just a couple more Dylan posts, to mark his 70th birthday, and to promote the station's Dylan coverage . . .

I was asked What's the weirdest Dylan cover you came across while putting together the Bob Dylan Channels?

Well the most surprising coverage, was a 1 minute bootleg of Elvis Presley singing "I Shall Be Released."

But the weirdest is this William Shatner version of "Mr Tambourine Man."

You know I love the Shat. But he really tops himself here, with a completely unhinged delivery . . . Enjoy!
