Quicken Loans chooses a rare Dylan song for their TV commercial:

I think its use in The Big Lebowski made the song fairly popular. Remember this commercial?

I'm not familiar with that commercial and, while I've seen parts of The Big Lebowski (but never watched the whole movie), I didn't know the song was in that either. Wow, who knew "The Man In Me" made such an impression on people? I'll have to dig out New Morning and give it a spin.

I'll have to dig out New Morning and give it a spin. Good thinking! I really enjoy Dylan during this period. In fact, just a few days ago I purchased a few songs off his Greatest Hits Vol. II compilation (that I didn't own elsewhere), with the intent of creating a June '70 - September '71 playlist. I'll probably include the majority of New Morning. Songs like "If Not For You", "Day Of The Locusts", "Time Passes Slowly", "Went To See The Gypsy", "New Morning", "Sign On The Window", "One More Weekend", and "The Man In Me". Then, from Greatest Hits Vol. II, there's "Watching The River Flow", "When I Paint My Masterpiece", "I Shall Be Released", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", and "Down In The Flood".

I haven't watched the whole movie either, but check out the opening credits. There's another video of this on youtube with over 6.4M views. Though, that one extends the opening credits 40 seconds to include the whole song.

A story about the author of a new book by Dylan's longtime friend, Duluth native Louie Kemp. Unauthorized, but apparently more a book of anecdotes than some kind of tell-all.

Good stuff there. I didn't know any of that. Never read a Dylan biography - yet.
One of those tidbits mentioned sports. I wonder if Dylan was a boxing fan. I've seen a few pictures of him posing with boxers, and of course "Hurricane".

3. He received a draft deferment because of flat feet. Considering how common flat feet are and that in most cases it's asymptomatic, I find it really odd that such deferments occurred.

I’m sure had we the need for soldiers in larger numbers, such candidates would’ve been sent.

Thanks for the link. That's not one of my favorite Dylan periods, but it appears that they unearthed a lot of rare stuff. Dylan's people do a great job with these bootleg series.
