“To keep your ads fresh, you’ve got to keep yourself fresh. Live in the current idiom and you will create in it. If you follow and enjoy and are excited by the new trails in art, in writing, in industry, in personal relationships, whatever you do will naturally be of today.”
~ Bill Bernbach.
The creative minds responsible these two brilliant tv commercials for Maxell Tapes, circa 1990, take Bill Bernbach’s advice to heart and pay homage to Bob Dylan in the process.

Bob Dylan: Subterranean Homesick Blues
This is a segment from D. A. Pennebaker's film, Don’t Look Back (a documentary on Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965). In the film, Dylan holds up cue cards for the audience with words from the song on them. While staring at the camera, he flips the cards as the song plays. Interestingly, there are intentional errors throughout the video. For instance, the song's lyrics say "eleven dollar bills," but the poster says "20 dollars". The video takes place in an alley behind The Savoy Hotel in London where poet Allen Ginsberg makes a cameo appearance.
