I was right!
I asked the Princess if she had seen a Victoria’s Secret ad with a man who appeared to be Bob Dylan. Knowing that I am not given to the use of halucinatory substances, her best response was, “I think you need more rest.”
Well, baby, I was right. In addition to the commercial -- Dylan's first in his 40-year career -- Victoria's Secret stores are also offering a nine-track CD of his songs for $10. "I can't speak for his motivation, but it certainly wouldn't be commercial," Razek says.
His motivation may not be commercial. It appears that the erstwhile spokesman for the counter-culture is now a dirty old man who likes to loiter with winged girls wearing nothing but high-priced skivvies.
There is a satisfaction in knowing that I was right. And not hallucinating. But a sadness in seeing a cultural icon (not one of my favorite singers, but I’ll give him credit where due) shilling for lingerie. Over-priced lingerie at that. ( I respect Michael Jordan for working for Hanes...Hanes I can relate to.)
