Forleden havde Webmaster Pastor et indl\u00e6g, hvori vi kunne se Sex Pistols-spydspids Johnny Rotten styre veltilpas igennem en godmodig engelsk reklame for sm\u00f8r.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Men der stopper kontrasternes forunderlige verden ikke, for her endnu en hellig ko p\u00e5 offeralteret: Bob Dylan’s reklame for Pepsi Cola<\/a>, sendt udover hele USA i s\u00f8ndags under Super Bowl-finalen.<\/p>\n

Kan n\u00e6sten kun g\u00f8re lidt ondt at se p\u00e5, medmimdre man er Bob’s bank. P\u00e5 de utallige Dylan-hjemmesider diskuteres nu i borgerkrigslignende stemning, hvad hele den ideologiske arv fra 60’er-opr\u00f8rets bevidsthedsg\u00f8relse er v\u00e6rd, n\u00e5r dets vel st\u00f8rste ikon og ledestjerne har ladet sin musik s\u00e6lge til at give corporate Pepsi en ansigtsl\u00f8fning.<\/p>\n

Den debat er ikke s\u00e5 ensidig som man m\u00e5ske skulle tro. Faktisk forsvarer ikke s\u00e5 f\u00e5 mesterens soft drink-eventyr. S\u00e5dan lidt p\u00e5 samme mekaniske m\u00e5de, danske kommunister f\u00f8r \u00d8steuropa’s fald stod op for enhver urimelighed beg\u00e5et under hammer og segl.<\/p>\n

Dylan selv har – sin omtalte counterculture-symbolv\u00e6rdi til trods – aldrig villet tages til indt\u00e6gt for nogen eller noget, s\u00e5 p\u00e5 den vis er et top-opportunistisk tr\u00e6k som denne Pepsi-alliance en perfekt m\u00e5de at erkl\u00e6re suver\u00e6nitet over egen person og samtidig f\u00e5 sagt ‘fuck you!’ til enhver forventning om hvem og hvad han skal v\u00e6re.<\/p>\n

Vi slutter her med et enkelt web-svar p\u00e5 tiltale til Dylan og hans mange menige Pepsi-forsvarere, fra en tilh\u00e6nger der ikke synes s\u00e5 imponeret:<\/p>\n

– You ARE defending him. It has everything to do with principles, allowing a song to promote a big corporation’s product is not work, its merely greed for money, there is a difference between working to live and the greed for money, how much money does he need? The man who wrote about “advertising signs that con” and the tragedies of poverty in Hollis Brown, the man whose last album contained a song titled Workingman Blues, pretty rich (no pun intended) coming from a guy who doesn’t have to ever worry about money and yet feels the need to abuse the nature of his songs in order to make more, he has fuck all to feel blue about, big corporations are fucking the public in the ass with their overpriced products,\u00a0<\/em>Dylan<\/em>\u00a0is supporting their disgusting tactics by allowing them to use one of his songs, how much fucking money does he need?\u00a0<\/em>Dylan<\/em>\u00a0has a right to do whatever he wants but you and the rest of the so called fans have no fucking right to try and justify it which is what you are doing.\u00a0End of fucking story.<\/em><\/p>\n
