Bob Dylan’s latest release, “His Greatest Songs,” dropped on October 1st – and was uniquely hyped by the promo site dylanmessaging.com.
The site allows users to customize the cue card scene from Dylan’s 1967 video for Subterranean Homesick Blues, shot behind London’s Savoy Hotel. Dylan is a natural at OOH messaging… Set him up with a Wiffiti! [Insert witty reference to The Times They Are A-Changin' here.]
Go take a look and make your own– it literally takes no more than 10 seconds from start to finish. Look closely– Alan Ginsberg makes a cameo in the background!

too bad their webmail doesn’t work, sigh… tried sending several messages to friends a couple of days ago and none got delivered, not even into people’s spam/junk box.
so close… come on people, it just isn’t that hard to get email working.
Somehow sending the URL link to friends and asking them to recreate your messages that they woulda received from you in the first place just didn’t quite have the same effect.

Oh… and definitely was NOT an OOH moment :-)
