He's doing it cos he wants the money, attaching his song to a commercial of that nature is greed, that's selling out. He became a tool.

So because he has money already he's geedy? Thats been almost your entire argument but it's irrelevant, i dont know if Bob Dylan is greedy, and dispite what you seem to think, neither do you, unless through seeing him in an ad you somehow got to know his personality/attitude towards money.

Unless he did it for any other reason than personal gain, I consider it greed.

Many consider Run DMC's hook up with Aerosmith to do "Walk this Way" back in the day was selling out.

Other people called Aerosmith the real sell outs, but that turned out to be a key moment in music history.

Explain.

And no; "I didn't like it. It sucked.", doesn't qualify. Nor do assumptions that they did said things to appeal to people, just cos their sound changed.

Ummm that talent less ape has never had anything to "sell-out" in the first place. He was an "artist" soley backed by a record company in order to sell shitty music at a large scale.

I hate 50 Cent with a passion, and Pez ICP never sold out.

Pretty sure it was a joke, actually as I know PCP in real life, I'm sure it was a joke.
