1. So saved....and I'm crying! My favorite song as a tweener!

And what a great pupper!

[madaboutharry]

2. Purists will cry blasphemy!

But I love wind turbines! Cheers, Bob.

3. Somewhere Phil Ochs

is puking.

[Nitram]

4. How many beers must a man drink down

Before you can call him a man?

Ask Brett Kavanaugh.

8. Good one!!

[Miigwech]

5. Wind, yes, Dylan, yes, beer, ok

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. clever.

Saw a documentary recently which, in part, showed how Budweiser has their own herd of specially bred Clydesdales, breeding for color, size and markings, and...get this...silk like fine hair around the hooves. (reduces dirt collection)
So by now they have a uniquely rare breed type.
I would think that maybe cloning might be involved by now...

14. There was a Clydesdale and brewery built near us in NH a long time ago

We saw them in the parades. When we kids of the neighborhood were old enough we would go on the tours... it's how figured out I was allergic to beer.

7. I've never heard this song sound so good

audio-quality-wise

[TomSlick]

9. Neat commercial.

Bad beer but neat commercial.

10. Ack. Did Bob Dylan actually give permission for his song to be used by fucking Budweiser?!?

This makes me sick.

Not to mention, you couldn't pay me to drink the disgusting swill that Budweiser puts out.

I've refused to drink their crappy product for the nearly 50 years I've been a beer drinker. Given a choice between Budweiser and no beer at all, I'll ask for water.

11. I thought the ad was absurd, in poor taste, and transparently manipulative.

What does the song have to do with anything in the ad? It is an antiwar song. Cute dog? Check! American flag waving in the breeze? Check! Hard-working manly men in work clothes? Check! Scenery of America the Beautiful? Check! Nostalgic Baby Boomer song? Check!

15. Like, didn't they forget

mom, a train and a pick up truck?

[90-percent]

12. "How many times must a cannonball fly

before they are forever banned."

How did this foreign owned company manage to slip this past America's Military Industrial Congressional Surveillance Censorship Complex?

Figures our enemy foreigners would try to make us loose faith in our pure and true and god is on our side MIC?

Freedom Fries indeed!

PS - I'm still upset Bud dumped six-time NHRA world champion Kenny Bernstein when they were bought. Set a record for longest running sponsorship in drag racing history.

17. Because conservatives don't listen to the words, or understand them if they do.

How many times have you heard a church group choir sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah?" They clearly have not understood the lyrics.

13. All this to sell weak diluted piss water.

16. Ain't capitalism grand?
