Apple Commercial

Think Different

You may have seen it.  The new Apple campaign.  It's theme is "Think Different".  On it, it features many great people who thought, well, differently.  :)  There's Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Alfred Hitchcock, Jim Hensen, BOB DYLAN.  It features small clips of each of them -- each very short, seconds long.  Bob's is from when he was much younger -- maybe 22 or 23 -- blowing out smoke from a cigarette, then going to play his harmonica.  The background words atop of his clip it says "Here's to .... the misfits, the rebels ...."

The first time I saw this clip, I was immediately entranced.  A great clip, it captures his essence perfectly.  I have seen it not many times, due to the fact that I don't watch television too often, but it's a great commercial, and not just because Bob is in it!!  I relate to the theme.

I have, for your viewing pleasure, a Quicktime of the commercial, courtesy of Apple.
