Caddy chuck: Dylan flogs himself some more

Everything, clearly, is up for grabs in Bob Dylan's world: he's now pocketing cash from Cadillac to appear in an advert for a new model. The ad also includes a plug for XM radio and - in a circular plug-jerk - he's dedicating his next XM radio show to songs about Cadillacs.

Presumably, 6Music will have to drop that episode of Theme Time Radio since it's essentially a long advert?

Dylan is a sell-out, Dylan is a sell-out, la la la la, HEY, la la la la, HEY

This is really disappointing. I'll probably still listen to the programme though -- I've discovered a lot of good music that way (if it weren't for Dylan, I'd never have heard of Blind Willie Johnson). I think I may protest by never buying a Cadillac, instead.

BTW, 6Music did indeed broadcast the Caddy show last night. I was kind of surprised.
